"Fergie: Her Allure Photo Shoot\\nFor her third Allure cover, Fergie was photographed by Norman Jean Roy at Milk Studios in Los Angeles. Check out these behind-the-scenes shots from the shoot. For more of our interview with the singer, pick up the July issue of Allure, on newsstands June 21.\\nFergie, here in a silk top and heels by Mugler, a Panache bra, La Perla panties, and DKNY stockings, is known\u2014and loved\u2014for experimenting with different looks. But one recent change sparked rumors. Moments after the singer performed on *American Idol*, viewers went on Twitter to speculate about whether she'd had surgery. \\\"I did two major drastic things, which is hair to the side\u2014it was the first time\u2014and the big neon lip,\\\" she says. \\\"I wanted to try something different, and all of a sudden it was this big backlash. People were saying 'It's a fake Fergie.' I heard about some ridiculous amount of money that I spent on my face, which I think is absolutely insane.\\\"\\n\\\"The goal was to create a natural, sexy look,\\\" said makeup artist Yumi, shown here at left, who focused the attention on Fergie's eyes. She dusted on a shimmery grayish taupe eye shadow, then lined the singer's eyes with a black pencil and a bit of powder shadow. Next, she brushed bronzer underneath the cheekbones to contour Fergie's face, then added light pink blush on the cheeks. Finally, the makeup artist skimmed Fergie's lips with clear gloss. Fergie's top and harnesses are Herv\u00E9 L\u00E9ger by Max Azria; skirt and shoes are Mugler.\\n\\\"We wanted to do hair that was reminiscent of the '70s but still felt modern,\\\" said hairstylist Danilo, shown here at right. For these waves, he used a volumizer, then wrapped large sections of Fergie's hair around a two-inch curling iron and pinned the curls to her head until they cooled.\\nFergie's body is killer\u2014and she works hard for it. \\\"I do cardio and resistance training. I'm getting more into jump rope now.\\\" These workouts usually require two sports bras and a lot of Tiger Balm. \\\"For your shoulders, if you have breasts. There's a lot of...waving.\\\" Here, the star is shown in a black cashmere romper, white patent-leather collar, corset belt, and shoes by Louis Vuitton.\\nDiet is the other half of the equation. \\\"I have a meal-delivery service: Diet Designs,\\\" Fergie says. \\\"They're amazing\u2014they'll have butter lettuce and avocado and pink grapefruit. They do butternut-squash enchiladas, which are really good. I also get these pressed juices delivered to my house, so I get all these different and wonderful vegetables. My problem is my discipline. I see a Jack in the Box or a Del Taco, and I will impulsively want it. I'm a work in progress in that area.\\\"\\nNo matter her sexy, even raunchy, outward persona, the real Fergie is unfailingly professional and polite. She showed up to the *Allure* interview early, and she's known for diligently writing thank-you notes. \\\"I try to be a nice person. I'm not filled with saccharine. Do you want me to give you some bad things that I do? I'm obviously married, so I don't sleep around. I guess I've tamed my ways a little bit, but I am 36.\\\"\\nSome of Fergie's beauty vices: She uses Latisse, the eyelash-growth drug, to thicken her eyebrows, and she dyes her top lashes brown. (They're naturally blonde, and for a while during the tour, they were further enhanced by individually applied Swarovski crystals.) She likes her nails filed into points and painted nude, because the effect seems to elongate her fingers. And even though she used to hate the bump on her nose, she's picked up a trick for that, too: A little contouring down the bridge goes a long way. \\\"I've learned to love my nose because it's unique,\\\" Fergie says. \\\"It's interesting, and it just makes me a little different.\\\"\\nFergie was so into this tight black top, skirt and ankle-strap heels by Mugler (shown here) that she had her assistant take a picture. \\\"Josh would love this,\\\" Fergie said (that's Josh Duhamel, her husband).\\nFergie is an old hand at dealing with rumors. As far as whispers that she has breast implants, she simply says, \\\"Oh, people have wondered everything about me. I just tell them to go look at my mother and sister.\\\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
