Beyonce’s Fashion Disaster at Met Costume Institute Gala

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,

Beyonce Knowles was a contender for worst dressed at the Met Costume Institute Gala in New York on Monday night.

The usually stylish singer donned a Givenchy Haute Couture gown for the occasion - which this year celebrated Miuccia Prada and Elsa Schiaparelli - but the sequinned, feathered disaster failed to impress as she arrived at the event at the city's Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,

Victoria Beckham "screamed" when Beyoncé wore one of her dresses.

The "Single Ladies" hitmaker wore a blue fitted design for an event organized by Michelle Obama earlier this week, and mega-fan Victoria admits she was blown away: "She was one hot mama, for sure. I mean, Beyoncé is absolutely beautiful and has the most phenomenal body, she really does. She looks great, she really does. I was very excited when I saw it online. I screamed! I was like, 'Look, David, look!' I still get so, so excited. She's incredible and also an artist that I have so much respect for. I'm a huge, huge Beyoncé fan. It was big for me."

Beyonce Knowles Compliments Her Models

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Models,

Beyonce Knowles made sure to compliment every one of the models during her House of Dereon show during London Fashion Week.

The singer-and-actress - who is expecting her first child with husband Jay-Z - and her mother Tina unveiled their collection at exclusive store Selfridges on Saturday, and the models admit she was a pleasure to work for.

"The show was all about power and attitude and having fun which made me really excited as many shows only want models to display the clothes. When Beyonce came in, she complimented all of us. I told her how beautiful her collection was and how I really loved the feather accessory from my first look. Then I bent forward and tickled the feather on her face - haha! She was lovely and was glowing, an image of pregnant perfection," said Leomie Anderson.

Malaika Firth added, "Walking for Beyonce's House of Deron was possibly the best experience of my life yet alone my career. I never knew that I'd get the chance to work with her and I was so excited when she came backstage to talk to all of us!"

-- Freelance model/photographer/retoucher Felice Fawn defends and provides proof of her Facebook conversation with Terry Richardson, which (not surprisingly) perpetuated his sleazy image. A fan of his work, Fawn is still holding out that the person who messaged her was a fraud.

-- American Apparel is supposedly even closer to filing bankruptcy.

-- Male model Eric Zentner -- who appeared in Versace ads, Teen Vogue editorials, and a Katy Perry music video -- was killed in a hit and run accident while he was en route to visit his mother last Saturday. Police are still searching for the suspect.

-- Beyonce was spotted on the set of her latest music video, which features the first single off her new album. In the photos, she wears Roberto Cavalli Pre-Spring 2011 and Fall/Winter 2011. Like her gal pal Gaga, she seems to have again reinvented her look.

Items Du Jour: Anja Rubik Gets Engaged, Lady Gaga Makes Unicorns Sexy

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers, News,

-- Victoria Beckham covers February's issue of Vogue UK looking rather bare-faced and less glamorous than usual. Marking her sixth solo Vogue cover, the singer-turned-fashion designer talks about her style's evolution and -- more importantly -- what it's like to wake up next to David Beckham.

-- Hilary Swank is one Oscar-winning actress who actually is down-to-earth: the woman loves a good bargain, and isn't ashamed of -- gasp -- clipping coupons. If only she had shopping secrets to scoring designer labels...

-- Anja Rubik stars in her third consecutive Fendi campaign, shot (of course) by Karl Lagerfeld.

-- Speaking of Anja, the model's agency recently announced her Christmas engagement to fellow model Sasha Knezevic. As if there aren't enough super hot couples to be jealous of.

-- Lady Gaga treated her monsters to a nice holiday surprise with details of her upcoming album. More importantly, she posted a preview of the album art, which features her rocking a unicorn-blazoned jean jacket that reads, "Born This Way." Oh, and she has completely ditched pants -- literally.

Tom Ford Womenswear Fashion Show Unveiled

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Models, Videos,

A sneak peek from Emily Blunt in Harper's Bazaar and full-length images at Vogue are simply not enough when it comes to viewing Tom Ford's Spring/Summer 2011 womenswear collection. Thankfully, the designer does have a heart enough to offer fashion hungry fans a video of his line's private show.

In the video, a handful of fashion editors stare in awe and amazement at the collection, which was modeled by an interesting mix of celebrities and models -- from Daphne Guinness and Lauren Hutton to Beyonce and Julianne Moore. Set to model Karen Elson's song, "Pretty Babies," the video's cuts flash (unfortunately) as frequently as Terry Richardson's camera. They may be quick looks of the designs, but it's definitely better than nothing!

Barbie Gets Racy as Lady Gaga

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, News,

First came the Christian Louboutin collection, which was odd yet fairly acceptable; however, consumers are quick to see a desperate company in highly publicized collaborations like this. This time, Mattel is grabbing headlines by presenting a series of dolls that represent Lady Gaga's most memorable costumes outfits.

Considering this line's predilection for Gaga's more controversial looks -- the meat dress, the hair extension outfit, her sister's graduation look, and the barely-there caution tape "bodysuit" -- more concern lay in the attention this collection receives rather than what parents and traditional Barbie enthusiasts would prefer to purchase.

Lady Gaga, despite her intense wardrobe, has worn many beautiful and classy dresses (the McQueen dress she wore to the MTV VMAs, for instance) that would have been amazing to see on the iconic doll; yet, the company seems to have placed their standards for quality at an alarmingly low rate.

Either way, check out the rest of the dresses after the jump. They even made one for Beyonce from the "Telephone" video; unfortunately, judging by how little the doll actually resembles Beyonce, it looks like Mattel was not worried about slacking on the now less-popular singer's miniature counterpart.

VIDEO: Beyonce and Her (Stocking) Support

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celebrities, Videos,

Even if you watched Beyonce's Thanksgiving special on ABC last week, you might not have known one of the secrets to her performance success.

During a sit-down with the ladies of The View, the singer said her mother isn't the only thing that supports her during her concerts. Her four pairs of stockings do as well.

"Why do you have four pairs of stockings on?" Barbara Walters asked. "Because you have to keep it supported," Beyonce explained while slapping her thighs.

You can see that part of the discussion at the 4:10 mark.

Solange Knowles Not Working For Beyonce on Dereon

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News,

Although she adores shoes, Solange Knowles isn’t impressed with sister Beyonce’s junior clothing line.

The 24-year-old singer was the face of fashion line Dereon, which “Single Ladies” hitmaker Beyonce and her mother Tina launched in 2006, but stepped down because the outfits are something she wouldn’t normally wear.

“I initially was involved as the spokesperson, but the clothes just didn’t reflect my personal style and I decided to hand that over.”

Despite not being a fan of Beyonce’s fashion line, the mother-of-one loves the bedding collection she and Tina have done and would like to promote that: “That’s the great thing about my family. We work together so closely that if something’s not working out, we can be honest about it and there won’t be any grudges or issues. I will say though, they did just do a bedding line that I am extremely in love with and I was like, ‘Can I model that… in my house?”

Although Solange wouldn’t wear the clothes, the fashion line is very successful and Beyonce’s debut scent Heat has been a huge hit.
