There’s really never been any doubt about Anne Hathaway’s ‘hotness,’ just the occasional debate over how hot, exactly. Well, these delicious photos by Mark Seliger in the February issue of British GQ certainly have her hovering around the ‘incredibly’ level on the hot chart. The 27-year-old actress is downright sizzling here, just enough sexiness and innocence to make it all work nicely. Wait, scratch that innocence nonsense. The girl looks downright sinful!

What we like best about the layout is that Hathaway is exposed, not literally, but she’s definitely revealing a more sensual side; these are perhaps the naughtiest/sexiest photos we’ve ever seen of the talented Hathaway. Go see for yourself after the jump.

Fred Astaire kept his clothes full to disguise his slight figure

The fiercely named Predator, Rebellion’s first watch clothed in a round case, is the result of a collaboration with award-winning designer Eric Giroud. Many characteristics of the Predator, both technical and aesthetic, are inspired directly from racing cars – like the brake disks and the pedals. There is the five-layered dial, the base of which is in a honeycomb that ensures rigidity while maximizing lightness. Then we switch over to the chronograph counters, which are connected to the dial by push rod shaped bridges decorated with a central ruby.

The bezel is attached by 8 distinctive screws with heads in the brand’s logo and the back by 6 torx screws, reinforcing the racing spirit of the watch. Another exclusivity of this model is the casing, which is constructed in a complex sandwich of superimposed layers allowing considerable personalization according to your taste. The Predator is available in several case materials: red, gold and steel. The finely-crafted timepiece is also available in a time-only version with three hands and date, as well as a mono-pusher chronograph. [via the awesomer]

Filippa K’s F/W 2010-11 collection uses a color palette that’s traditionally considered pretty drab– there are a lot of greys and browns here, complemented by navy accents and a dark grape-y purple. It’s rather simple at first glance, but it’s truly a good wardrobe builder for the end of 2010-11. Grey can easily be punched up with pieces you’ve already got (or will get), and the silhouette of the collection itself is extremely classic-friendly for your layering needs.
