Who better than Gisele Bündchen to usher in the Emmanuelle Alt era?

The supermodel kicks off the new Vogue Paris editor-in-chief's reign with an April cover shot that sees the Brazilian beauty flashing a retro-style bra and briefs under a sheer white dress from Dolce & Gabbana's Spring 2011 collection.

Equal measures soft and sultry, Alt's first issue as editor follows the departing Carine Roitfeld's swan song featuring pixie-haired newcomer Saskia de Brauw in ruffles, as well as recent covers devoted to blonde gap-toothed beauties Lara Stone and Daphne Groeneveld.

After three covers starring Dutch-born models, Bündchen—photographed in St. Barts by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin—certainly marks a shift in direction. Still, it's been reported that Alt's full vision for the magazine won't be seen until the August issue, making Bündchen the world's most beautiful palate cleanser.

Plus, Pringle of Scotland creative director Claire Waight Keller has stepped down, Nina Ricci to release a new fragrance, and the power of Victoria's Secret shopping bags.

The British actress has been the face of the fragrance since 2006, but for the scent’s latest campaign she's really revving things up.

"There was such a wave of cheap bright color for ready-to-wear, a couture client might want a softer look," the designer says of his Chanel Spring 2011 couture collection's light color palette.
