MILEY CYRUS PARTNERS WITH MAC

Wrecking Ball singer Miley Cyrus is set to bring her quirky style to MAC Cosmetics.

The star was recently announced as the spokeswoma­n of the 2015 Viva Glam campaign, which means she will help launch two new shades of lip colour for the charity-based collection.

“Every cent of the selling price goes toward helping women, men and children living with and affected by HIV/AIDS,” according to the company’s website.

The pout-prettying line includes a hot pink lipstick ($19) and a pearly pink Lipglass ($18).

THE ROOM TAPS FAMOUS FACE FOR LATEST CAMPAIGN

Get ready to see a whole lot more of supermodel Linda Evangelist­a this spring.

The Canadian style star has signed on to be the face of the spring/ summer 2015 campaign for The Room — the luxury fashion space at Hudson’s Bay in Vancouver and Toronto.

“Bringing Linda Evangelist­a and Hudson’s Bay, two Canadian icons together, was a perfect fit,” said Michael Crotty, executive vice-president and chief marketing officer at Hudson’s Bay. “Linda Evangelist­a rose to super stardom throughout the ’ 80s and ’ 90s and has cemented her place on the fashion stage proving that longevity is vital, appealing and sought after.”

The new campaign, which includes 11 looks from designers such as Moschino, Erdem and Junya Watanabe, is slated to launch in February.

Evangelist­a joins other Canadian talents who have starred in the com- pany’s The Room advertisem­ents. Past campaigns have featured Jessica Stam, Coco Rocha, Alana Zimmer, Anaïs Pouliot, Meghan Collison and Grace Mahary.

CHANGING TIMES AT CHANEL

Iconic French fashion house Chanel is upping its watch game with the release of its latest J12 watch.

Dubbed the J12-G.10, the new timepiece has, “a precious twist by adapting the military-world essential, the NATO strap, to feminine watchmakin­g,” according to a press release.

Boasting an alligator skin strap — to replace the traditiona­l reinforced nylon used on the British army watches it is inspired by — the J12-G.10 features a buckle set with baguettecu­t diamonds.

In other Chanel news, the house announced the dates and locations for its much-anticipate­d collection shows including March 31 in New York to present the Paris-Salzburg 2014/15 Métiers d’art collection, which was first showcased last December in Salzburg, Austria; the annual Cruise collection in Seoul, South Korea, on May 4; and the Métiers d’art show will be presented in Rome on Dec. 1.
