Runway Look of the Day: Derek Lam

Sep 13, 2010 @ 2:35 pm

I loved Derek Lam‘s denim skirt suit. The relaxed fit of the boxy jacket and A-line skirt looked chic, modern and comfortable.

Heidi Klum’s Maternity Style Tips

Sep 13, 2010 @ 2:21 pm

With two maternity lines, and more than one Fashion Week spent enceinte, it’s fair to say that Heidi Klum knows how to dress a bump. During a Fashion’s Night Out visit to Destination Maternity, the model mogul recommended that a stylish pregnancy begin with actual maternity clothes. “I tried to fool myself that I could still fit in my regular things,” she said. “You think, ‘Oh yeah, I can make this work’ and then your T-shirt gets shorter and shorter and shorter as your belly gets bigger and bigger and bigger.” In order to show off these new curves, Klum designed a sexy ruched gown for her A Pea in the Pod-sold Lavish collection: “I think it’s beautiful, the body and how it changes when it’s pregnant.” And when in doubt, add a necklace or two: “I always over-accessorized: You accessorize the bump.” Wise words, although most of us would likely opt for a lower heel than Klum’s favorite 5″ Jimmy Choos. “They didn’t bother me,” she said with a shrug.

Lady Gaga to Launch a Fragrance Line

Sep 13, 2010 @ 2:17 pm

As if landing eight Moon Men wasn’t enough of a coup, Lady Gaga has signed a fragrance contract with perfume powerhouse Coty. Stephan Mormoris, the senior vice president of global marketing for Coty Beauty, told WWD that the first offering from this “fascinating cultural force” is expected to launch in the spring of 2012. While the Haus of Gaga gets to sniffing, the rest of us will be speculating on the scent of this sure-to-be epic new fragrance. Perhaps there will be a top note of latex with an undertone of raw meat? Maybe a subtle bouquet of Earl Grey and peroxide? Whatever the blend, the scent is sure to be as mind-blowing, and as popular, as the Lady herself.

While some stars opted for simple, pretty dresses at last night’s Video Music Awards, many others kept the tradition of shocking style moments alive. Nicki Minaj rocked out in tons of brightly colored spandex, Ke$ha sourced her dress material (garbage bags) from Home Depot, Lady Gaga’s final outfit (which she donned to accept Video of the Year) was a dress made of meat(!) courtesy of designer Franc Fernandez, Cher channeled her “Turn Back Time” days in a sheer body stocking and Rihanna sported a fiery bob complete with headdress while performing on-stage with Eminem.
