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.

Items Du Jour: Kim Kardashian on Glamour, Lady Gaga Tops Magazine Sales
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers, Hairstyles, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors,
-- Lady Gaga scored the highest number of monthly and bi-weekly magazines sold. Not surprisingly, the Rolling Stones cover with a nice view of her rear end sold 245,000 copies -- three times the magazine's 2010 average. Taylor Swift and Blake Lively were the worst-selling celebrities.
-- Elle magazine's parent company Lagardere is in talks with Hearst (Harper's Bazaar publisher) to sell all 40-plus foreign editions of the fashion glossy (sans the original French version) as soon as the end of the month. Lagardere claims it will keep full editorial control, despite whatever happens in the sale.
-- Kim Kardashian covers Glamour in pajamas, which she makes look incredibly sexy, despite what she says in her interview: "I don’t find myself as sexy as everyone thinks. I’m a lot more insecure than people would assume, but with little stupid things." This must explain why she constantly poses nude or in skin-tight outfits.
-- Androgynous model Andrej Pejic stars in the latest Marc by Marc Jacobs campaign, alongside Ginta Lapina. One can actually detect that he's most likely a guy in the photo.

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.

Rihanna Does Her Red Carpet Homework
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
Fierce dresser Rihanna often texts her celebrity pals before big events to make sure their outfits don’t clash.
The “Rude Boy” singer - who is known for her eccentric fashion choices - revealed her biggest fear is showing up on the red carpet dressed in identical clothes to her friends Katy Perry and Lady Gaga.
“My worst nightmare would be a clash on the red carpet - so we all text each other before to make sure. We’re all kind of fearless with fashion. So Katy and I speak all the time about what we’re going to wear. And Gaga.”
Rihanna admitted she and Katy once came close to having an embarrassing fashion moment when they both chose the same Dolce and Gabbana dress to wear to the Metropolitan Institute Costume Gala. “One time we were going to the Met Ball, and Katy phoned me to check. We were like, ‘Oh My God’, we were both going in this dress by Dolce and Gabbana with Marilyn Monroe’s face all over it. She was like, ‘You can’t. I’ve had my nails done in mink and it matches the dress. I thought, seeing as she’d gone to all that effort, I’d let her wear it.”

—Terry Richardson has recruited Crystal Renn for a French Vogue shoot which calls for her eating various foods in overly sexual poses.

According to the two X-Men, Richardman’s “art is cheap, exploitative porn,” and “what he does to models is borderline assault and unquestionably cruel.”
—Lady Gaga attended her grandfather’s funeral on Monday looking surprisingly normal (as opposed to the last family event she attended—her sister’s graduation).

Lady Gaga Meat Dress to Be Preserved
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
So what is to become of Lady Gaga‘s infamous VMA meat dress? Beef jerky, of course! Unfortunately for die-hard monsters, it’s not jerky one can eat…
“The dress will go through a process where it becomes a sort of ‘jerky.’ The meat dries out, rather than rotting. But it shouldn’t be worn again,” said the designer of the dress, Franc Fernandez.
Additionally, it would appear as if the dress was the first and the last made of the animal parts: “There’s not going to be meat dresses in the future. This was made for a specific purpose. It’s what it is.”

Lady Gaga, Marc Jacobs Cover V Magazine New York Issue
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, News,
One thing is for sure when you book Lady Gaga for your magazine cover: you’ll be paying for plenty of skin.
Gaga covers V Magazine this month as her version of the Statue of Liberty alongside Marc Jacobs. Dubbed the New York Issue, the “V” is written in bubblegum—naturally.
While some may be outraged at Gaga’s impersonation, I’d have to say that it’s not nearly as shocking as other issues and figures she’s tackled, on top of the fact that this is a magazine that once featured a topless Adriana Lima whose chest could be seen by scratching off the “V” letter.

Zandra Rhodes Wants Lady Gaga
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
Zandra Rhodes would love to dress Lady Gaga.
The British designer, who famously designed clothes for Britain’s late Princess Diana and Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, wants the challenge of working with the “Alejandro” singer because she thinks the results would be “extraordinary.”
“I just love how she puts her own take on things - I could make her a transparent kaftan and she’d look fabulous. One could do something quite extraordinary with her,” said Zandra, who is known for her eccentric dress sense.
The 69-year-old fashionista - who has recently been in San Francisco creating outfits for the female stars of Aida at the Houston Grand Opera - says if she ever got the opportunity to work with Lady Gaga, she would want to get her into her studio: “If she did ever want me to design her something, I’d do what I did with Freddie Mercury and Queen - I’d just get her to come over and she could pick out the sort of thing she fancied and I’d work with that. It’s all about seeing how something moves. She could try a few pieces on and we could go from there.”
