Happy Thursday everyone. If your day wasn't starting off the way you'd hoped, here's a little video that is sure to turn your frown upside down. Shot by Guy Ritchie, who erm, only takes on one commercial per year, David Beckham is spotted running around in his skivvies — and for part of it, he's soaking wet!

The commercial is much longer than it was intended to be, in fact, triple the length, not that any of us mind, and Mr. Posh is seen running through the streets of Beverly Hills, swimming in pools, hopping over hedges chasing the bathrobe that got caught in the car door whilst he was packing up the kids in the car for their school run. The inspiration behind the video was a superhero theme and I can attest that David definitely looks super. He said "I hope everyone has as much fun watching the film as I had making it." The undies come in a range of dark colours like red, navy and green and are part of the Spring 2013 campaign. Will you be buying them for the special superhero male in your life?

It's not a bra commercial, or a hair advert. Nope, it's a jewellery spot for the launch of DJ by Dominic Jones new Spring/Summer collection. The 90s inspired video stars model and socialite Alice Dellal alongside pals Phoebe Collings-James, Kesh and Chelsea Leyland dancing around scantily clad to a No Doubt song. The ladies show off a little leg, a lot of midriff and of course enamel, metal and rocker-style jewellery, especially rings. The collection ranges in price from £40-100 and is available online and in-store at Harvey Nichols. You can expect to see two collections a year from the designer who says,

"I’m really pleased with the collection and searched to find a good factory. DJ by Dominic Jones allows me to take the brand in a young and fun direction. Inspired by my first collection ‘Tooth and Nail’, it’s nice to look back to the beginning again; fun, colourful but still holding onto that slight aggressive aesthetic."

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are all over the press circuit this week, which can signify only one thing: Breaking Dawn Part 2 is near. The conclusion to the series hits theaters on Nov. 16, and Robert Pattinson stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night for a quick chat about make-out scenes on set and his favorite part about shooting the saga. Hint: it's probably not the answer you're expecting. Check out the video to hear his answer!

Chanel's Creative Director Peter Philips has dreamed up another short film to showcase the brand's latest lip color line, Rouge Allure. Inspired by Chanel's Paris Bombay show from December, "Miroir, Miroir" introduces five new shades of the lipstick in a decidedly nontraditional way. (And those tiny crystals and mirrors on Latvian model Inguta Butane's face? It's not a mask; they took a whopping four hours to apply individually.)

"The concept complemented the shades and the hypnotizing, psychedelic aspect fit well with the Indian theme," Philips said, referring to the swirling kaleidoscope effect of the film. The result is a surprisingly beautiful blend of a very strange trip and a very luxe makeup counter. It shouldn't work, but it somehow does.

Although Victoria Beckham lives in Los Angeles, she's still proud to be a Brit through and through. The singer turned designer has filmed a video as part of the GREAT Britain campaign where she speaks passionately about how important London is to her own work. Victoria says:

"I want to make women feel good about themselves and for me to be able to achieve the quality I want to give my customer, I have to do that in London. My brand is British, my team are all British."

She goes on to reveal her teenage shopping days, saying: "I remember when I was younger, I used to love going to Camden Market on a Sunday. The energy, the atmosphere. It's really multi-cultural and that is more inspiring that anything." As well as praising British brands like Burberry, Stella McCartney, Alexander McQueen, Mackintosh and Hunter, Posh Spice also calls Anna Wintour "the most respected person in the fashion industry ever" and adds: "The Queen is an icon. She's so appropriate, very chic." Watch the full video above and let me know what you think of Victoria's patriotism!

Agyness Deyn is back in the modeling world. Just after the news that she is collaborating on collection with Dr Martens, she's spotted looking girly, sweet and playful in a video for American designer Rebecca Minkoff (despite the video title reading as Rachel Minkoff). Check her out modeling an amazing neon bag, whilst dancing around a beach in a long, floral maxi dress. And if you're interested in buying any of the pieces, you can shop the clothing and accessories online here.

Just yesterday, Chanel released their latest silent short film featuring British socialite and rock-hair model Alice Dellal. The video is called, "'My New Friend Boy'," after the new collection of Spring/Summer "Boy" bags. Shot by Karl Lagerfeld, the one minute 24 second piece is inspired by the 1920s and I can't help but wonder if The Artist had anything to do with it either. Admittedly, I'm not quite artistic enough to fully understand this little ditty, but maybe you can help interpret it for me. Watch it here and leave a comment letting me know what you think of this edgy chic short drama from Chanel.

Just because we are in between fashion week seasons, it doesn't mean that we can't look back and appreciate a couple amazing moments that may have been missed in the frenzy of it all. Earlier in the week, this short video from backstage in Paris at arguably the biggest show of the season was released. We see Creative Director Sarah Burton in action, hair, nails, makeup and even how the delicate lace face masks were placed on the (nervous) models. Of course we also see the intricate detail of the clothing and the production of the show. Take a deep breath and let yourself be swept away in the fabulousness of everything Alexander McQueen!

Face-washing hasn't always been the suds and water routine it is today, and women decades ago apparently took it so seriously that there were entire college classes devoted to it — no joke. This informational video (clearly sponsored by Pond's) seeks to teach impressionable young women of the 1940s how to wash properly, and explains that it's a process so important that many women's colleges have a whole class dedicated to the subject. It's interesting to see how much the standard cleansing routine has changed in the last seven decades. Although if you have dry, sensitive skin, this probably isn't a bad regimen.
