Made even more famous in the mass market through herve leger famously skin-tight bandage dress, such designs leave little to the imagination when seen on the many celebrities who often wear them.

But as Camila Alves, the pregnant Brazilian model wife of actor Matthew McConaughey, showed last night in New York, an extremely tight fit might be better worn as a maternity dress.

An unforgiving blue and green geometric print dress from Macy's private label I.N.C. International Concepts, was spotted on the 30-year-old as she attended the premiere of her husband's upcoming film Killer Joe.

As she let her growing bump show through, there was clearly no need for any type of body-contouring undergarments which are commonly worn under such snug designs.

The Bandage Dress served as a flattering red-carpet selection that revealed the brunette beauty's swollen belly while providing solid support in other places.

And Ms Alves, who is pregnant with the couple's third child, is not the only celebrity mother-to-be swapping loose-fitting maternity wear for the body-accentuating design.

She is part of a growing league of famous women who are taking advantage of the style during their pregnancies.

Jessica Simpson was seen in a tight-fitted black sequin bandage-style dress during her pregnancy.

The bubbly blonde gave birth to daughter Maxwell Drew Johnson on May.

She told Us Weekly: 'I like wearing things more fitted. You want to show off your bump! It's just so fun.

'You don't want to wear muumuus so you can moo around town.'

Beyonce is another proven fan.

She was seen in an equally-snug blue and black mini-dress while she was pregnant with Blue Ivy, her first child with singer Jay Z.

Victoria's Secret model Adriana Lima opted for an extremely tight black mini-dress in New York in April.

She is of course currently pregnant with her second child to her Serbian NBA player husband Marco Jaric.

Siena Miller, who gave birth to baby daughter Marlowe earlier this month, had also been seen in snug dresses during her pregnancy such as a grey jersey dress worn during a night out in London in May.<hr>

Iniesta deserved to beat Messi & Ronaldo to European prize - but don't expect him to win the Ballon d'Or

It was something of a shock. When the winner of Uefa's prize for Europe's top footballer was announced on Thursday, the victor's name was neither Lionel Messi nor Cristiano Ronaldo. Instead, it was Andres Iniesta.cheap Nike Soccer Cleats

Barcelona's mild-mannered midfielder has his fair share of admirers within the game, but he had been the third favourite to claim this award. As his name was called out, he looked as shocked as everyone else. And in accepting it, he was gracious, grateful and gratified - all at the same time.

There is nothing flashy about Iniesta, but the midfielder has made the most of his tremendous talent to become arguably the best player in the world's finest international team - Spain.cheap Soccer Cleats

At Barcelona, however, he is unlikely to be considered as the finest footballer - at least while Messi is around. As one of his supporters, La Gazzetta dello Sport's Alberto Cerruti, told Uefa: "Iniesta is a symbol of the Barcelona side, even if he gets overshadowed, through no fault of his own, by Messi."

The Argentine had received the most support in the original vote, in mid-August, but when the same journalists were polled again to pick from the final three on Thursday, they chose Iniesta.Nike Soccer Cleats

And it would be hard to argue against the case of Fuentealbilla's finest.Nike Soccer Shoes Iniesta was instrumental in Spain's successful European Championship defence, claiming three Man-of-the-Match awards - the same as Andrea Pirlo - and winning the overall MVP prize.Nike Soccer Cleats 2012

In a year of continental competition at international level, it is only fitting the prize should go to the tournament's standout performer.Adidas Soccer Cleats Ronaldo also enjoyed a fine Euro 2012, but semi-final defeat to Spain probably ended his hopes of winning this award, while Messi was afforded a rare summer off without an international competition for the first time since 2009.

These three will now likely contest the Ballon d'Or at the end of the year and Messi, despite his summer off, will be the overwhelming favourite to make it four in a row.Adidas cleats shoes 2012 Cristiano possibly didn't do quite enough at Euro 2012, in the eyes of the voters, to cement his claim for a second prize, while Iker Casillas is unlikely to win the award because of the sheer quality of the other outfield players in contention.

In a year of major international competition, Iniesta seems the ideal choice.Adidas soccer cleats shoes Imperious with Spain and impressive as usual with Barcelona, his European recognition is richly deserved. When the world's journalists are asked to pick a winner for the Ballon d'Or later this year, however, don't expect him to be close.

On a global scale, less importance will be attributed to Spain's success, with journalists from far-flung lands much more likely to vote for the spectacular rather than the spirit of teamwork and technical excellence embodied by Iniesta.adidas mercurial cleats That means Messi, perhaps Ronaldo, but not Andres.

Iniesta has already backed club colleague Messi for the prize, in any case, and systematically shuns the spotlight.cheap Adidas Soccer Cleats So if, as expected, he fails to follow up this European award with the Ballon d'Or, there will be no drama. Whoever wins, it will be fine by him.<hr>

Can't squeeze into a Herve Leger bandage dress? Now you can at least wear the fragrance

t's the A-list's favourite way to show off a gym-honed body.

Every starlet worth her personal trainer has been spotted in a herve leger dress sale, making it as must-have on the red carpet as Christian Louboutin shoes.

But for us mere mortals who don't work out for three hours daily, pulling off a bandage dress is something of a fantasy.

So body-shy fans of the label will be delighted to learn that they can at least buy into the brand with it's very first fragrance.

Max Azria, who has owned and designed the iconic Eighties label since 1998, has joined forces with Avon to create Herve Leger outlet Femme.

It is described as a 'woody floral scent' with notes of magnolia, grapefruit, cypress wood and vanilla.

Launching next month, it will be exclusively available through the beauty company's famous door-to-door representatives and website.

In the U.S. there will also be a high-profile television campaign,

The ad sees a model shrug off her coat to reveal a stunning dove grey minidress, with the tagline: wrap yourself in seduction'.

In a statement Azria said: This fragrance captures the iconic style of Cheap Herve Leger, which evokes the very essence of sensuality.'

Unfortunately, when we tried it in the office, the response was less flattering, with one colleague likening it to 'something my granny would wear'.

The scent was sweet and quite powdery - more akin to penny sweets than summer flowers.

Though the bottle looks upmarket, the fragrance is a relative bargain at just ￡20 for 50ml - far more easy on the pocket than the dresses, which cost upwards of ￡1,000.

There is a men's version of the scent too, 'tailored to the man whose style and sophistication are impeccably sharp' - we'd really like to know where these men are.

Predictably called Herve Leger Homme, it will retail for just ￡18.

The Herve Leger label was founded in 1985 by the designer currently known as Herve L. Leroux.

The designer pioneered the creation of the clingy 'bandage' dress, using materials traditionally associated with body control underwear to create garments that would sculpt the wearer's figure.

He adopted his current name after he lost the commercial rights to the Herve Leger name, and now trades under his new name as a couturier in Paris.www.hervelegervip.com<hr>

Indians can't match Rangers rookie, fall 8-3

A memorable debut for Texas second baseman Jurickson Profar was another forgettable loss for the Cleveland Indians.

Elite prospect Profar homered in his first major league plate appearance, powering Texas to an 8-3 victory over Cleveland on Sunday.ken griffey jr shoes

The free-falling Indians, who have not won a series since July, lost for the 16th time in 18 games and are a major-league worst 6-29 since July 27. They completed their 10-game homestand with two victories.

By losing the rubber game of the three-game set, Cleveland is 0-11-1 in its last 12 series.ken griffey shoes

"I think Texas is probably the best team in baseball, period," said Indians manager Manny Acta, whose club dropped a season-low 22 games under .500. "I mean, the guy hitting ninth today (Profar) could be in the middle of the order for most teams. And how do you get the ball through the infield with the guys they have playing there?

"They should go very deep, if not back to the World Series, again this year."

The Indians, meanwhile, started six players who spent time in the minors this year.ken griffey jr shoes sale

Right fielder Thomas Neal went 1 for 4 in his big-league debut, doubling home in a run in the eighth inning. Left fielder Russ Canzler also was 1 for 4, and has three hits in two games since being recalled from Triple-A Columbus.

"I was pretty nervous going out there, but by the time I batted in the eighth, it felt like I was just playing," said Neal, who had been at Double-A Akron.cheap ken griffey shoes "My depth perception in the outfield was kind of tough because we didn't shag fly balls before the game, but that's all right. All I need is a little practice to be fine."

Zach McAllister (5-6) also continued his late-season audition with the Indians, but was rocked for seven runs and 11 hits in four innings.ken griffey shoes 2012 Profar, Nelson Cruz, Josh Hamilton and David Murphy all hit solo homers off the right-hander, who is 1-4 with a 6.08 ERA in his last seven starts.

"They're good from one to nine, so that makes it a challenging day," McAllister said. "Overall, I just didn't have my best stuff today, but my body feels fine."griffeys

Profar was a late addition to the Rangers' lineup when second baseman Ian Kinsler was scratched with a sore back. He became the first player born in 1993 to play in the majors and - at 19 years and 195 days old - the first teenager to appear in a game for the Texas since Ivan Rodriguez in 1991.

Profar hit a homer into the right-field stands in the third. He doubled in the fourth and finished 2 for 4, also turning one double play in the field.griffeys 2012

"He's pretty good in the field, too," pitcher Derek Holland said.

Acta wishes the Indians had some young players like Profar, signed by Texas as a free agent at age 16 out of Curacao.cheap griffeys

"He's pretty impressive, obviously one of the top prospects in the game," Acta said. "He showed how things are kind of easy for him out there. You can see why he's so highly regarded by teams and everyone else."

Holland (10-6) worked seven innings of two-run ball. He is 3-0 with a 2.25 ERA in five starts against the Indians, including 2-0 with a 1.15 ERA at Progressive Field.griffey shoes

Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus went 3 for 5, extending his hitting streak against the Indians to 29 games, the third-longest ever. Seattles Ken Griffey Jr. hit in 35 straight (1992-96), one more than Torontos George Bell (1985-87).

Murphy had three hits and three RBIs for AL West leader Texas, which matched its best record through 133 games at 79-54.www.cheapkengriffeyshoes2012online.com

NOTES: Cleveland was without All-Star closer Chris Perez (birth of daughter), shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera (sore right wrist), and outfielders Michael Brantley and Shin-Soo Choo, who got a rest. Acta said Cabrera, Brantley and Choo would be in the lineup Monday against in Detroit,

but Perez would not rejoin the team until Tuesday. ... Texas is 50-36 all-time at Progressive Field and has the second-highest winning percentage (.581) at the ballpark behind the Yankees (.633). ... The Indians recalled RHP Frank Herrmann from Triple-A Columbus. He pitched the final two innings, allowing one run. ...

Vacation, and a recommendation

Just a quick note to explain my absence from the blog -- I'm taking a week of vacation. Last chance for some family time before school starts on Tuesday.

The time off has given me a chance to read "Major League Encounters," a new book by Larry LaRue, the long-time Mariners beat writer for the Tacoma News-Tribune.www.highheelsonlinecheap.com

It's superb, and I'm not just saying that because he's a friend. I genuinely think any Mariners fan -- any baseball fan -- will love this book. It's simple in format: 100 vignettes about players that LaRue has encountered in his 30-plus years as a baseball reporter in Southern California and Seattle.

There's a heavy emphasis on Mariners players, of course, with all the biggies covered, such as Ken Griffey Jr., Jay Buhner, Edgar Martinez, Lou Piniella, Ichiro and Alex Rodriguez, (except one, Randy Johnson, but he turns up many times, not always flatteringly). LaRue's account of how his close relationship with Ken Griffey Jr. was torn asunder by his soon-to-be-viral blog post about Junior napping in the clubhouse, is riveting reading.

And a good insight (as occurs often throughout the book) into the delicate player-reporter dynamic.www.jordanheelsonlinecheap.com

Some of the best and most poignant chapters are about players who weren't stars, but had compelling and sometimes heart-rending stories to tell -- the likes of Willie Bloomquist, Jeff Schaefer, Ken Cloude and Rich Amaral. Most of the vignettes are warm and affectionate, but LaRue lets you know, gently, who he didn't like so much, and why.www.highheelssalecheap.com He cuts down players like A-Rod and Casey Kotchman with a velvet touch.

Many familiar names not associated with the Mariners, but with whom LaRue crossed paths in his career, show up, the likes of Tony Gwynn, Reggie Jackson, Frank Thomas, Barry Bonds, Sparky Anderson, Bo Jackson, Willie Mays, Dennis Eckersley, Tony La Russa, Rod Carew, Dwight Gooden, Kirk Gibson, even Tiger Woods.

After reading this book, you will have a greater insight into all of them.www.kinggriffeyshoesny.com
