Lady Gaga Tops Vanity Fair’s Best Dressed List

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,

Lady Gaga has been named one of the world’s best dressed women.

The “Bad Romance” singer and cover girl - famed for her eccentric fashion sense - was included on Vanity Fair magazine’s annual International Best Dressed List and joined the likes of First Lady Michelle Obama, Carey Mulligan and Diane Kruger.

Lady Gaga was a newcomer on the list and was praised for her outlandish headwear and over-the-top outfits. Michelle made the list for the fourth consecutive year and won approval for being a trendsetter. “Michelle Obama plays a very important role in fashion right now. People who make the list are individuals. They don’t look like everyone else. They tend to be fashion leaders, not followers,” said Vanity Fair’s special correspondent Amy Fine Collins.

Actress Carey Mulligan was noted for her “existential pixie” look and mixing high street with designers. Samantha Cameron - wife of British Prime Minister - also made the list, becoming the first visibly pregnant woman to make the poll. Others included on the prestigious list include France’s First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, soccer star David Beckham, siblings Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal and designer John Galliano.

Vanity Fair Fails to Credit Lady Gaga’s Stylist

While fans and readers are ga ga over Lady Gaga‘s new Vanity Fair cover, one of her own was excluded from the magazine’s credits.

“thanks vanity fair for NOT crediting me in the story….VANITY UN-FAIR .....agrhhh!!!! (sic)” wrote stylist Nicola Formichetti on his Twitter page.

Will Gaga stick up for her monster? Let’s hope that Vanity Fair issues an apologetic statement—while Gaga receives an overwhelming amount of praise on her own, it’s nice to give credit when credit is due.

In the meantime, we can watch a behind-the-scenes shoot of the September cover, shot by Nick Knight (after the jump).

Jessica Simpson changes hairdresser?

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Hairstyles,

Jessica Simpson may have a new hairdresser. Jessica previously always worked with hair designer Ken Paves, and has even gone so far as to cancel photoshoots with magazines who refused to work with Ken. That’s some dedication.That’s why her staff was amazed at a recent Vanity Fair shoot, where Simpson agreed to allowing Oribe to style her hair.

Her spokesperson is quoted by the New York Post newspaper as saying: “The photographer, Mario Testino, insisted on his team, and we agreed. Mario is a genius. The photos are gorgeous and transformative.”

It has been claimed some stylists dislike working with Ken - who also styles Eva Longoria’s locks - because he isn’t considered “timely”. Jessica and Ken - who previously worked together on a range of hair extensions - have been close friends for years and are regularly seen enjoying evenings together.
