Angelina Jolie and Madonna's female ex steps out in West Hollywood, can you guess who?
This groundbreaking nineties model - who famously romanced Madonna and Angelina Jolie - stepped out in West Hollywood, CA on Sunday. The 58-year-old Asian-American trailblazer was joined by her wife - MVH Strategic Partners CEO Michelle Harper - ahead of their 11th wedding anniversary on August 30. She showcased her tattooed sleeves in a simple white T-shirt, which she paired with black knee-high shorts, and Converse-style sneakers. The androgynous beauty was originally scouted outside an LA nightclub to model in Calvin Klein's CK One unisex perfume campaign in 1994. She went on to model for designers Prada, Banana Republic, Versace, Jean Paul Gaultier, Yohji Yamamoto, Donna Karan, Anna Sui, Thierry Mugler, Levi's, J. Crew, The Gap, L.A. Eyeworks, and the United Colors of Benetton. Can you guess who? It's Jenny Shimizu, whose sexual allure attracted some of the most beautiful and powerful women in showbiz, including her Foxfire leading lady Angelina. The 50-year-old Oscar winner admitted she would 'probably have married Jenny' had she not married her Hackers leading man Jonny Lee Miller in 1996. 'I fell in love with her the first second I saw her,' Jolie confessed to Girlfriends in 1997. 'Actually, I saw when she was being cast in Foxfire, and I thought she had just read for my part. I thought I was going to lose the job. I said to myself, "Oh, my God, that's [the character Margaret "Legs" Sadovsky]." She's great. We had a lot of fun.' The Maria producer-star and the 2025 Pirelli Calendar stunner even shared a nude scene in Annette Haywood-Carter's 1996 big-screen adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates' 1993 coming-of-age teen novel, which only grossed $269K at the box office. '[Jonny] came to the set of Foxfire. He was around when I was figuring things out about myself, when I was realizing that I was attracted to women also,' Angelina noted. 'If anything, he took it very seriously. When I realized that somebody like Jenny could be a deep love for me, he realized it, and he took it very seriously. If anything, he didn't treat it just like some sexy thing.' Two years later, Jolie reflected to Rolling Stone: 'I realized that I was looking at her in a way that I had looked at men. And it was great, and it was a discovery. It had never crossed my mind that I was going to one day experiment with or kiss a woman; it was never something I was looking for. I just happened to fall for a girl.' The 58-year-old Asian-American trailblazer was joined by her wife - MVH Strategic Partners CEO Michelle Harper - ahead of their 11th wedding anniversary on August 30 The androgynous beauty was originally scouted outside an LA nightclub to model in Calvin Klein's CK One unisex perfume campaign in 1994 Jenny had previously dated the 66-year-old Queen of Pop, who cast her as 'Production Assistant Girl' in her 1993 music video for Rain, which was directed by Mark Romanek. 'I mean you are not going to say no to Madonna in the nineties,' Shimizu dished to Hulu/Disney+ docuseries In Vogue: The 90s last September. 'Not only was it great feeling like a high-class hooker, because it was, I would get a phone call saying, "Can you meet me at my show in Paris, you're in Europe, right?" and I would be like, "Yeah, I'm just finishing Prada, I'll catch a plane over." 'And I would go to the Ritz at four in the morning and have sex [with Madonna] and fly back to Milan.' The Chic Management-repped model added: 'My wife is going to kill me, but that time was so crazy and fun and there was something heartfelt about certain moments.' Last March, Ione Skye revealed she had an extramarital affair with Jenny, which involved strap-ons and safe words, but it ended in 1999 when she started feeling 'needy and devoted.' '[She was a] masterful lover, sometimes a dominant one. She didn't use whips or handcuff me to the bed, she just held this vibe,' the 54-year-old Anaconda actress wrote in her memoir Say Anything. '[But] Jenny didn't want me to be her dog. She left shortly thereafter for a modeling job and never came back to me, except as a good friend.' One year later, Ione divorced her husband - Beastie Boy Adam 'Ad-Rock' Horovitz - due to her 'serial cheating' after eight on/off years of marriage. Shimizu also spent quality time with Rebecca Loos - the former assistant of David Beckham, who told all about their four-month extramarital affair to the News of the World in 2004. In 2005, the Cali native and the Dutch 48-year-old took part in a staged wedding ceremony to protest the States' laws on same-sex marriage, which aired as Power Lesbian UK on Logo TV.

Fragrance mists: When lightness and accessibility conquer selective perfumery
On TikTok, the hashtag #bodymist has racked up over a billion views. This figure underlines the growing popularity of fragrance mists, which are particularly appealing to Gen Z's seasoned and versatile young consumers. At the crossroads of perfume and skincare, these colorful, accessible bottles are renewing the codes of classic perfumery. Sprayed on the body or hair, or layered with other scents, they embody a new art of perfuming. A phenomenon born in the 2000s Although the trend is now enjoying a second wind, it's not a new phenomenon. Back in the 2000s, mists from the American lingerie brand Victoria's Secret were already all the rage. Their sweet, fruity, or floral scents were often the gateway to fragrance for a generation of young American consumers and beyond, long before the advent of social networking. Another iconic brand of the 1990s/2000s, the American Calvin Klein, creator of the famous CK One, one of the first gender-neutral fragrances, intends to capitalize on this revival. On July 1, the brand launched a collection of four body mists: Cotton Musk, Nude Vanilla, Sheer Peach, and Silky Coconut. Priced at 28 euros per 236 ml, the products are formulated with glycerine to moisturize the skin, and the scents were created by perfumers from Mane, Givaudan, and DSM- Firmenich. For the Coty Group, which holds the perfume license for Calvin Klein, this launch is therefore strategic. At a press presentation on May 20, Laurence Lienhard, Coty's director of prospective and research, pointed out that almost 40% of young consumers worldwide practice "layering," i.e., the art of layering several fragrances to create their own trail. A perfect playground for mists. Sol de Janeiro, the big winner in the mist department On the French selective market, sales of fragrance mists are exploding. According to Circana figures, they now represent the most dynamic perfume segment. They are worth 37.6 million euros, with 1.7 million units sold over a rolling year to the end of March 2025, representing 106% year-on-year growth. In two years, sales have quadrupled. American cosmetics brand Sol de Janeiro, owned by the L'Occitane group, is the leader in terms of volume and value. Its Brazilian Crush Cheirosa mist (28 euros per 100 ml) and its gourmet variations, such as vanilla, pistachio, and salted caramel, are becoming benchmarks not only at retailers like Sephora, but also on social networks, where videos reviewing the brand's various references are multiplying. Faced with this success, all brands are getting in on the act. In June, Coty launched a collection of mists for its Adidas brand. French affordable perfume brand Adopt has also just launched its first body mists, a collection of nine references selling for 14.95 euros per 200 ml. From mass market to luxury, all brands are surfing the trend Premium and niche brands also want to ride this olfactory wave. Thus, after launching into fragrance in 2017, American beauty brand Glossier, which is currently rolling out in France via Sephora stores, has just unveiled its Body Spritz, two mists for body and hair, designed to be layered (42 euros per 100 ml). The same goes for Florence by Mills, the beauty brand of actress Millie Bobby Brown, which, after a first foray into classic perfumery in 2023 with Wild Me, has launched four scented mists (15.50 euros per 100 ml) since March. On the luxury side, Valentino is releasing a mist version of its Born in Roma Donna fragrance this summer. This product, enriched with argan oil, retails for 49 euros per 90 ml, compared with 87.50 euros per 50 ml for the classic fragrance. What makes these products so successful is, first and foremost, their affordability. While the price of some exceptional perfumes flirts with the 300-euro mark, the price of mists ranges from 20 to 40 euros for a generous format, often in excess of 100 ml. On the other hand, luxury perfume houses tend to offer mists in more classic formats, with more modest price differentials between perfumes and mists. Dior, for example, offers some of its La Collection Privée Christian Dior fragrances as hair mists. A 40-ml product costs 102 euros, compared with 175 euros for the 50-ml perfume. Low prices, light formulas: the formula for success Lighter formulas, with lower alcohol concentrations (between 1% and 3%), also appeal to consumers, who collect and layer them. What's more, these lighter fragrances often have virtues other than fragrance, such as moisturizing. "The craze is driven by the younger generation, with a strong influence from social networks, affordability, a new fragrance gesture, and a focus on well-being mixed with a touch of nostalgia," summarized Mathilde Lion, expert at Circana. Perfumed mist, once perceived as a fancy perfume, is now a mainstream phenomenon. In the bathroom of young consumers, it is no longer a simple alternative to perfume. For once, two segments at opposite ends of the spectrum are driving the market. On the one hand, there are mists, affordable and fun products, and on the other, exceptional perfumes driven by innovation and creation, where prices are skyrocketing.
