Kristen Wiig (Paola Kudacki/Harper's Bazaar)Kristen Wiig went out of her way to dress terribly on "Saturday Night Live."

The 39-year-old actress played the mischievous student Gilly; Judy, the woman with freakishly small hands on "The Lawrence Welk Show"; and a cast of other characters during seven seasons of the sketch comedy program before leaving last year.

"When people first started recognizing me, they always gave me a second look because they didn't really know what I looked like," Wiig explains in the new issue of Harper's Bazaar. "For a long time it was my job to be an unattractive older woman or a creepy-looking child."

Bea Arthur Naked (Christie's)Now this is Bea Arthur as you've never seen her before.

The late actress, who died of cancer in 2009 at the age of 86, was known for sporting an oversized blazer or two in the '80s sitcom "The Golden Girls" and long sweater vests on the '70s show "Maude."

But a work of art that depicts her as topless sold at a Christie's auction for a whopping $1.9 million in New York on Wednesday.

The artwork fetched an exorbitant price, even though Arthur never actually posed for the artist, John Currin, whose style focuses on women in the buff.

Then: In July 1986, 22-month-old Prince Harry was an adorable tot already in the spotlight thanks to his beloved mum, the then-25-year-old Princess Diana, and his father, Prince Charles, who happened to be the heir to the British throne. Young Harry, grinning and clothed in a British Army uniform, offered a glimpse at what we could expect from him in the future as he frolicked in the yard at Highgrove House, which continues to be Prince Charles's country home in Gloucestershire, England. No one would have predicted that the charitable Princess Di would be killed in a car crash in Paris in 1997.

Now: Prince Harry, who's now a captain in the British Army, would have made his late mother proud as he made a well-received visit to the United States this week. The third-in-line to the throne met with military families and wounded veterans, toured an exhibit on land mines – a cause his mother cared about deeply – and surveyed some of the damage from Hurricane Sandy. He charmed American

Rihanna's style secret is out.

The fashionable singer's strategy seems to be that anything good enough for her "Diamonds" collaborator Kanye West is good enough for her.

She's recently copied two of his looks, inspiring the first double edition of Fashion Faceoff.

(Tim Munro for Allure)Sigh.

Every time we seem to be making progress in the way women are portrayed in magazines, somehow we take a step back.

The latest reminder that we still have a ways to go is that Allure magazine's latest cover, featuring gorgeous actress Zoe Saldana, describes its cover model as "115 Pounds of Grit and Heartache."

While that may be true, readers probably didn't need to know precisely how much "grit and heartache" she possesses.

It's not clear if or how the number fits into the piece since the full interview with the actress has yet to be released but when omg! inquired about the headline, Saldana's rep referred omg! to Allure, who in turn said "no comment."

Whomever is responsible, the decision to showcase Saldana's digits seems so … unnecessary.

Christina Hendricks (Ben Watts)Christina Hendricks did not set out to spend her life working alongside beautiful men like as Ryan Gosling and Jon Hamm. Really.

"I just thought I would work in a hair salon and do community theater," the 38-year-old "Mad Men" actress reveals to Lucky Magazine.

After working as a model in NYC, Hendricks decided to go for it, and now stars in the critically acclaimed TV show, in addition to movies, such as the 2014 thriller "How to Catch a Monster," written and directed by her "Drive" co-star Ryan Gosling. Lucky girl!

Hendricks, who married "(500) Days of Summer" actor Geoffrey Arend in October 2009, acknowledges that Gosling is "handsome." However, she says his appeal is deeper.

(Tom Munro for Allure)Zoe Saldana is so over dating men in her profession.

The 34-year-old, who dated Bradley Cooper until early this year and spent more than a decade in a relationship with actor-turned-businessman Keith Britton, is certain about that.

"Been there, done that, got the T-shirt," she explains in a new interview with Allure.

In fact, she reveals that she's considered having a non-traditional family, so she wouldn't have to deal with Cooper … or any other man, for that matter.

Nicki Minaj (Sebastian Kim/Teen Vogue)Nicki Minaj always seems so confident -- and sassy.

And though she's not everyone's favorite -- Minaj tends to be one of those people you instantly embrace or don't -- the 30-year-old star has a loyal fan following, not to mention her own perfume, a campaign for M.A.C. Viva Glam makeup, and a job as a judge on "American Idol." (She may or may not be returning to the singing competition next season, depending on whom you ask.)

In the new issue of Teen Vogue, the "Beauty and the Beat" singer explains how she developed the thick skin that enables her to be her authentic self, no matter what anyone else thinks.
