<p>Remember when we told you about Zoe Saldana being the&nbsp;<a href="http://blog.myfdb.com/2010/07/zoe-saldana-the-new-face-of-calvin-klein-underwear/" target="_blank">new face of&nbsp;CK&#8217;s Envy Underwear</a> line? Well, more of&nbsp;her ads have been released, along with a&nbsp;few <nobr>behind-the-scenes</nobr> photos. We&#8217;re so excited to&nbsp;see Zoe in&nbsp;magazines and&nbsp;billboards sporting the&nbsp;line. According to&nbsp;<a href="http://www.wwd.com/markets-news/zoe-saldana-stars-in-calvin-klein-envy-ads-3197037?module=today#" target="_blank"><em>WWD</em></a>, &#8220;The&nbsp;<nobr>multimillion-dollar</nobr> print and&nbsp;outdoor advertising campaign breaks <nobr>mid-September</nobr>, in&nbsp;October magazines, and&nbsp;she also will appear in&nbsp;an&nbsp;online video on&nbsp;<a href="http://www.cku.com/home/index.jsp" target="_blank">cku.com</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>So what exactly is Zoe&#8217;s take on&nbsp;undergarments?</p>
<p>“I&nbsp;like when you are able to&nbsp;assist your body to&nbsp;look amazing as&nbsp;opposed to&nbsp;replacing anything. That’s exactly what Calvin Klein Underwear Envy does. It helps you, it assists you, but it will not overshadow what you can bring naturally.”</p>
<p>Well said Zoe! P.S. if you&#8217;re wondering about the&nbsp;hands in&nbsp;the&nbsp;picture above, check out <a href="http://myfdb.com/tear_sheets/264657-calvin-klein-envy-ad-campaign-fall-winter-2010-shot-1" target="_blank">MyFDB </a>to&nbsp;see who worked on&nbsp;the&nbsp;shoot.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The&nbsp;82nd Annual Academy Awards literally took Hollywood by&nbsp;storm this past weekend; and&nbsp;luckily for&nbsp;us all&nbsp;it didn&#39;t rain on&nbsp;the&nbsp;red carpet&nbsp;parade. Although, it may have been the&nbsp;dreary weather that prompted Hollywood&#39;s <nobr>A-list</nobr> to&nbsp;play it safe when selecting an&nbsp;Oscar gown. The&nbsp;night&#39;s trends&nbsp;included classic black dresses, ruffles, and&nbsp;champagne flavored&nbsp;gowns. While glamorous, all&nbsp;were lacking&nbsp;the&nbsp;<nobr>risk-taking</nobr> haute couture influence&nbsp;the&nbsp;fashion&nbsp;realm craves.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Of&nbsp;course leave it to&nbsp;our favorite starlet <strong>Zoe Saldana</strong> and&nbsp;her stylist <a href="http://myfdb.com/people/6036-petra-flannery">Petra Flannery</a> to&nbsp;deliver big with a&nbsp;Givenchy Haute Couture gown and&nbsp;shoes&nbsp;direct from Riccardo Tisci&#39;s Spring 2010 collection.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img align="middle" alt="RunwayRealway Zoes purple reign on the red carpet" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1050" height="560" src="http://blog.myfdb.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/RunwayRealway.jpg" style="width: 483px; height: 570px" title="RunwayRealway" width="460" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The&nbsp;dress was&nbsp;chosen just a&nbsp;few days before the&nbsp;awards. When&nbsp;<a href="http://news.instyle.com/2010/03/05/zoe-saldanas-last-minute-oscar-prep/"><em>InStyle</em> asked</a> Saldana what her Oscar fashion plans were at&nbsp;the&nbsp;<em>Essence</em> Black Women in&nbsp;Hollywood luncheon on&nbsp;March 4,&nbsp;she said she had yet to&nbsp;decide.&nbsp;She told <em>InStyle</em>, &quot;My&nbsp;stylist Petra Flannery knows me more than I&nbsp;know myself when it comes to&nbsp;fashion. She always puts me in&nbsp;something that fits my&nbsp;personality and&nbsp;my&nbsp;mood, and&nbsp;she knows I&nbsp;go insane if I&rsquo;m uncomfortable. Plus she wants me to&nbsp;look extra special.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I&#39;d say Flannery got it right as&nbsp;the&nbsp;Givenchy gown&#39;s sparkle, volume and&nbsp;shine perfectly accompanied Saldana&#39;s radiant personality. For&nbsp;some extra dazzle a&nbsp;whopping 80-carat amethyst and&nbsp;diamond inlay ring coupled with&nbsp;20-carat bronzed platinum diamond drop earings from Lorraine Schwartz complimented the&nbsp;look.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Zoe proves that you don&#39;t have to&nbsp;be nominated to&nbsp;win big on&nbsp;the&nbsp;red carpet. Her look has already received tons of&nbsp;attention with praise from <em><a href="http://www.peoplestylewatch.com/people/stylewatch/package/gallery/0,,20332759_20349134,00.html#20750729">People</a></em>,&nbsp;<a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/alltherage/2010/03/oscar-red-carpet-zoe-saldana-oscar-red-carpet-vera-farmiga-oscar-red-carpet-elizabeth-banks-red-carp.html"><em>The&nbsp;Los Angeles&nbsp;Times</em></a>, <em><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/oscars/7396180/Oscars-2010-stars-avoid-fashion-faux-pas-as-Zoe-Saldana-shines.html">Telegraph UK</a></em>, and&nbsp;<em><a href="http://fashion.elle.com/blog/2010/03/2010-oscars-zoe-saldana-goes-bold-in-givenchy-couture.html">Elle.</a></em></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We asked Erik to&nbsp;share some the&nbsp;day&#39;s highlights with us:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&quot;I&nbsp;was dressed by&nbsp;my&nbsp;personal stylist Blair, who put together the&nbsp;perfect outfit, then I&nbsp;was off to&nbsp;the&nbsp;Ricardo Rojas salon where I&nbsp;was pampered with a&nbsp;relaxing oxygen facial. Then I&nbsp;arrived in&nbsp;style at&nbsp;the&nbsp;Prabal Gurung Fashion show, which was absolutely amazing! The&nbsp;MyFDB launch party was completely off the&nbsp;hook!! I&nbsp;was introduced to&nbsp;many vibrant personalities from the&nbsp;world [of] fashion.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Meeting Zoe Saldana was definitely the&nbsp;highlight of&nbsp;my&nbsp;night!! Zoe was just as&nbsp;charming and&nbsp;lovely as&nbsp;I&nbsp;had expected! I&nbsp;felt totally relaxed as&nbsp;we talked and&nbsp;took pictures together!&quot;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thanks for&nbsp;sharing Erik and&nbsp;we&#39;re so glad you had an&nbsp;awesome time! For&nbsp;those that didn&#39;t win we&#39;ll have more contests coming up; so stay tuned for&nbsp;your chance to&nbsp;win some amazing swag.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our New York Fashion Week contest was such a&nbsp;hit and&nbsp;we thank everyone that entered, but there could only be one online winner and&nbsp;that was the&nbsp;lovely Adara! We&#39;re so glad she won and&nbsp;her energy radiated throughout her fashion adventures from the&nbsp;<strong><a href="http://www.prabalgurung.com/">Prabal Gurung </a></strong>runway show to&nbsp;meeting her inspiration <strong>Zoe Saldana</strong>. MyFDB got Adara ready for&nbsp;the&nbsp;day&#39;s events by&nbsp;hooking her up with renowned stylist Blair, who helped her put together an&nbsp;<nobr>A-list</nobr> look and&nbsp;then whisked her over to&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ricardorojashair.com/">Ricardo Rojas studio</a> for&nbsp;hair (and&nbsp;we mean HAIR) and&nbsp;makeup.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The&nbsp;beautiful Adara was sweet enough to&nbsp;share her personal experience with us and&nbsp;of&nbsp;course we had to&nbsp;pass it along to&nbsp;all of&nbsp;our readers:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&quot;Prabal&#39;s show was so fun, it was my&nbsp;first fashion show ever! His clothes are absolutely beautiful and&nbsp;wearable. My&nbsp;favorites were this cream strapless dress with ostrich feather detail and&nbsp;a&nbsp;black and&nbsp;red, one shouldered dress with this incredible pleating along the&nbsp;bust. It&#39;s amazing how much he&#39;s done in&nbsp;just a&nbsp;year or&nbsp;so, and&nbsp;you could tell how anticipated his collection was. There were so many buyers there and&nbsp;Anna Wintour herself came to&nbsp;watch, which is pretty exciting.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Meeting Zoe was incredible! I&#39;m not really the&nbsp;type of&nbsp;person to&nbsp;freak out over celebrities, but I&nbsp;have admired her and&nbsp;her career since I&nbsp;was 12, so to&nbsp;meet her in&nbsp;person was totally surreal. We drove over to&nbsp;her hotel around 8 and&nbsp;I&nbsp;was shaking the&nbsp;whole time. My&nbsp;friend Ezra was with me and&nbsp;he kept talking but I&nbsp;didn&#39;t hear half of&nbsp;what he was saying. Kevin, Ezra and&nbsp;I&nbsp;waited in&nbsp;the&nbsp;lobby for&nbsp;her to&nbsp;come down and&nbsp;I&nbsp;was so nervous and&nbsp;excited. Zoe was the&nbsp;nicest person, everything I&nbsp;expected her to&nbsp;be and&nbsp;more. She has so much personality and&nbsp;is so bouncy and&nbsp;excited. When she talked about Prabal you could tell how proud of&nbsp;him she was, as&nbsp;well as&nbsp;Keith (who was also so nice) [MyFDB&#39;s CEO] and&nbsp;how well MyFDB is doing. She said that when he started it was just him and&nbsp;two computers in&nbsp;the&nbsp;basement and&nbsp;now here he was at&nbsp;fashion week having this huge launch. The&nbsp;thing that I&nbsp;will hold closest to&nbsp;me is a&nbsp;piece of&nbsp;advice Zoe gave me as&nbsp;a&nbsp;young <nobr>actor-model</nobr>, and&nbsp;that was to&nbsp;trust myself and&nbsp;make conscious choices about the&nbsp;kind of&nbsp;work I&nbsp;want to&nbsp;do, even if it means turning things down. She was so fun and&nbsp;sweet, I&nbsp;wish she could just take me with her wherever she went: )</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To&nbsp;get a&nbsp;sense of&nbsp;the&nbsp;excitement here&#39;s a&nbsp;short <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTCxc3gzZk0">video of&nbsp;Adara meeting Zoe</a> shot by&nbsp;her friend Ezra.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Probably the&nbsp;most pleasant surprise was how awesome Kevin Mills, the&nbsp;COO of&nbsp;MyFDB, is. I&nbsp;know how busy he was getting everything ready for&nbsp;the&nbsp;launch that day but he spent so much time with us. We ended up having some pretty amazing conversations about the&nbsp;business and&nbsp;following your passions and&nbsp;Zoe of&nbsp;course: ) I&nbsp;never once felt like I&nbsp;was being pitched to, we were just talking and&nbsp;laughing like normal people. That is so rare in&nbsp;this industry, and&nbsp;I&nbsp;think it really says a&nbsp;lot about the&nbsp;company.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thank you so much MyFDB, I&nbsp;can&#39;t even properly explain how much this day meant to&nbsp;me. Everyone should keep both eyes on&nbsp;this company. Its made up of&nbsp;some truly genuine people and&nbsp;I&nbsp;can only see it doing bigger and&nbsp;better things in&nbsp;the&nbsp;future!&quot;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Awe!! Thank YOU Adara and&nbsp;we wish you the&nbsp;best in&nbsp;your future endeavors!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Don&#39;t feel bad if you didn&#39;t win because new contests will be announced soon. Zoe can&#39;t be the&nbsp;prize every time, but we will have some treats coming up!</p>
