+ This month's latest Elle cover model, Nicki Minaj did her best impression of a vapid fashion journalist humorously asking all the wrong questions to herself.

Versace to Revamp Lady Gaga’s Tour Wardrobe

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,

Lady Gaga has asked Donatella Versace to reinvigorate her tour outfits. The "Judas" hitmaker has revealed the Italian fashion designer will be giving her stage outfits a "face-lift" when her Born This Way Ball world tour reaches North America in January.

"THE BORN THIS WAY BALL is getting a face-lift for America. I heard rumors @Versace IS CUSTOM DESIGNING ALL THE CLOTHES AND NEW LOOKS. (sic)" she wrote on her Twitter.

The 26-year-old eccentric pop star is a huge fan of Versace's striking designs, and she recently stepped out in the iconic safety-pin dress first worn by Elizabeth Hurley in 1994. Donatella is known for giving garments a feminine and risque flair, so Gaga - who has memorably worn a meat dress and worn a Kermit the Frog outfit - can expect some revealing new stage outfits to show off her curvier figure.

Lady Gaga Makes a Wig with Lights

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Hairstyles,

Lady Gaga has created a fibre optic wig inspired by the Disney Princesses.

The "Judas" singer - who is renowned for her love of eccentric stage outfits - worked on the special creation with her collaborators the Haus of Gaga for six months, and claims the hair piece was inspired by the idea of one of the animated characters at a dance music rave.

"Hi everyone, this is Gaga. So I wanted to show you one of the newest inventions from the Haus of Gaga - this is a hand-made wig by Frederic Aspiras. It's an innovation that myself and Tara and Frederick came up with, with my friend Chris and we've been working on it for six months. Over six months. And we are going to light it up for you so you can see. So the wig is made up of a mixture of real human hair and the finest fibre-optics in existence - they move and feel like real hair. It was handmade. The hair was inspired by taking a Disney Princess and putting her in a rave," she said in a video post on her blog (seen after the jump).

Fashion Police: JLo Channels the White Witch

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities,

There's just something really wrong about Jennifer Lopez wearing what could pass as a figure skating costume in the middle of August.

The former American Idol judge returned to the stage in Anaheim, California wearing a whole lot of furry white stuff and sparkles. While we know how Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Nicki Minaj are constantly trying to out-high fashion each other, isn't JLo above that? Is her ice queen attire a cool surprise for summer, or is it just wrong?

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

Roberto Cavalli is to dress Shakira for the closing ceremony of the 2010 soccer World Cup.

The Italian fashion designer - who previously worked with the Spice Girls on their 2007/08 world tour - will dress the “She Wolf” singer for the third time during the event’s festivities, as she has already worn two of his creations to perform at the opening ceremony in South Africa.

The outfit for the closing performance features a silk-fringed skirt covered in pink flowers and ethnic prints, while a separate top is embroidered with multi-colored pearls. Accessories will include leather bracelets ornately decorated with floral silk.

Shakira will perform her song “Waka Waka” at the event, as she did at the opening ceremony. The Columbian-born singer recently spoke of her excitement at performing at the World Cup: “I am honored that ‘Waka Waka’ was chosen to be part of the excitement and the legacy of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The soccer World Cup is a miracle of global excitement, connecting every country, race, religion and condition around a single passion.”

commercial domination, after all…

Fashion Police: Balloonist Rihanna

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, News,

R&B singer Rihanna is failing miserably in her attempt to make the Michelin man look chic.

The “Rude Boy” songstress brought her Last Girl on Earth tour to Vancouver, where she showed off her latest zany costume. It’s one thing to love avant-garde, couture fashion and a completely other thing to try to pull off a watered-down version of it. Sorry, Rihanna, but not everyone can be Lady Gaga.
