hmmm ...
not really a fan of either of those looks. i wonder if KK has switched stylists? thinking back to 2012 -- that year she literally slaaaaayyyyed every red carpet and became a legit red carpet fashion icon.
but many of her looks have been hit or miss lately. she always looks gorgeous, of course (i mean, it's KAROLINA KURKOVA! lol) -- but some of the looks have just been pretty bad. that Fashion For Kids dress is terribly tacky, for example.
anyway --
here's the absolutely stunning ad for her new perfume, "Karolina" by Karolina Kurkova
i had thought it was a redux of the first fragrance she did - but it's actually an entirely new one. so now she has 2 on the market! so proud of her! i think this is so cool!
Here's the press announcement:
AHLEN, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In cooperation with the cosmetics specialist LR Health & Beauty Systems, supermodel Karolina Kurkova introduced her second women's fragrance onto the market. The successful launch of her first fragrance "KAROLINA KURKOVA" in 2013 is now followed by the next big hit: "KAROLINA by Karolina Kurkova".
Energizing interplay of flowery fresh notes
The fragrance interprets the versatile personality of the international top model with floral nuances and skilfully runs the flowery gamut in the top, heart and base note. The prelude is composed of pink pepper and fresh green which gradually make way for a combination of rose and violet. The finale is marked by powerful accords of sandal wood and vanilla. The perfume forms a bouquet of light, floral accents and warm, sensual nuances which come together to bring out a seductive contrast. The fragrance is as versatile and fascinating as the woman who inspired this creation. Karolina Kurkova is delighted with the result: ”With its lightness, ’KAROLINA by Karolina Kurkova’ has an energizing effect and at the same time is elegant and confident.” This clearly sets it apart from the first fragrance range, which in its expressive power combines the glamour and fascination of international catwalks and likewise pays tribute to the superstar's Czech homeland.
Perfume bottle design full of joie de vivre and colour
"KAROLINA by Karolina Kurkova" also evokes an appeal for the wearers: "Let your inner light shine", the premium bottle design seems to call out. It is inspired by the trendy ethno chic style which is a modern interpretation of traditional patterns with vivid, bold colours and abstract elements. At the centre of the bottle shines a stylized sun, a strong symbol of multiculturalism representing Karolina Kurkova's many facets: as a model, she embodies a self-confident and unique charisma; as a business woman, she demonstrates power and strength and as a mother, she is full of warmth and gentleness. While the transparency of the bottle conveys the fragrance's lightness, the subtle play of turquoise, pink and gold imparts a pleasing lightness, warm glow and freshness. The highlight is a gold-plated chainlet which swirls around the neck of the bottle.

Wow!!
KK is on the cover of the first ever Pronovias hardcover book, celebrating 50 years as one of the world's great bridal companies. such an honour!!
and there was a photoshoot for (and in) the book and the photos are some of the most elegant pictures i've ever seen of KK. if you go to the Pronovias website, you can enter your email address to gain access to the book. KK's shoot starts on page 194
here's a preview:
Supermodel Karolína Kurková Covers Pronovias' First-Ever Book 50 Years Dressing Dreams
Spanish bridal powerhouse Pronovias — known for its elegant tailoring, exquisite detail work, and one-of-a-kind runway shows held every year in Barcelona — is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. To commemorate a half-century of creating couture-like wedding dresses, the design house released its first-ever book, 50 Years Dressing Dreams, filled with famous brides and models wearing their stunning creations through the decades.
A family company, once owners of a famed silk, lace, and embroidery store in Barcelona called El Suizo, Pronovias officially became the bridal name stay that it is today in 1964 with its first runway show. And since runway shows have been a large part of the brand from the start, Pronovias has had a slew of famous faces attend their shows — such as Bar Rafaeli, Francesca Eastwood, Petra Nemcova — and even more glossy and runway regulars represent the brand. Not to mention a venerable list of famed fashion designers within the company throughout the years like fellow evening-wear masters Emanuel Ungaro, Valentino, Badgley & Mischka, Manuel Mota and Elie Saab.
For its romantic campaigns, Pronovias has enlisted models like Miranda Kerr and Doutzen Kroes. But with the launch of this book, though, Pronvias chose Czech supermodel Karolína Kurková to be their 50th anniversary ambassador. Donning some of the most iconic Pronovias styles, her photo shoot for this hardcover steals the entire volume's show.

she looks gorgeous there!
she also just won "Model of the Year" on the highly influential fashion blog, "Red Carpet-Fashion Awards"
http://www.redcarpet-fashionawards.com/2014/12/23/model-year-2014-karolina-kurkova/
Karolina Kurkova has strutted her way to the top, clenching the Model of the Year 2014. The Czech model and former Victoria’s Secret Angel commands attention at every turn, hardly ever disappointing on the red carpet.
The compelling thing about Karolina is that she dresses to a uniquely powerful and sultry beat, flaunting her statuesque supermodel proportions in designer exits that most could never dream of pulling off.
Yet she also dresses with modest sophistication, not falling into the model trap of ubiquitous, skin-is-in, overtly sexy looks. She evidently agrees that just because you can wear it, doesn’t mean you should.
While the supermodel often goes for highly structured, architectural pieces, and her fair share of more mannish moments, she just as easily can work more delicate, feminine dresses like her recent Valentino outing in a floral-and-lace frock punctuated by shades of pink.
My favourite look from her had to be the impossibly amazing drama of her sculpted Marchesa teal-blue, floral-print gown at the Met Gala. It was a work of art.
Runner Up: Cara Delevingne

I know! I love the campaign, she looks so fresh and with a really punk attitude. And those photos for Pronovias, WOW! Absolutely supermodel-level drop dead gorgeous! The book had a great collection of past campaigns with Valentina Z, Alessandra, Bianca Balti, Isabeli, but that shoot with KK commemorating the 50th anniversary was impeccable!

Here's the full photoshoot from the Pronovias book. In my opinion, it's one of the most gorgeous, elegant photoshoots of KK's entire career. Just utterly breathtaking. I WISH I could find these pics in HQ. I guess I'll have to buy the book. haha.
