We know stylists work hard - it can’t be easy to dress divas, guarantee red carpet success and compete in a very small, very competitive industry - but we often wonder how hard it can really be when all the big names knock down your door with the prettiest clothes and accessories .

So we’re kind of thrilled that Rihanna’s stylist is working a little overtime to promote smaller, particularly British, labels.

The singer lit the Empire State building last night for Cartier Love Day wearing the colorful PPQ dress to the left. Then, she wore a colorful ruffly Poltock & Walsh skirt on the Today Show this morning, (Topshop - PLEASE pay attention), and she’s been out and about in plenty of outfits we don’t recognize, which is very refreshing.

Sure, people like Mischa Barton and the Olsens wear underground brands all the time, but Rihanna’s far more mainstream which means she has potential to bring indie brands into a bigger spotlight with the kind of break that only comes with devoted celebrity fans.

To Rihanna’s stylist, keep it coming.

Reader Chris sent us a hysterical email, with a photo of Jaslene from Top Model wearing Jillian from Project Runway’s final collection.

We’re rather furious we didn’t notice her the first time the photos were released, right after New York Fashion Week, but also:

Are we dangerously close to having our TV galaxies explode?

It’s almost unbelievable that a reality show contestant on one network could zoom over to another network’s fashion-focused program, which is also a competition that ends in a catwalk.

The whole thing is a little “seriously?” but we will say this:

We have never seen Jaslene look this pretty, and this much like a model, before.

Well done to everyone involved in that little transformation.

Despite our adoration of Coco, Gemma, and the rest of the haute clan, we’ll admit we’re obsessed with the C listers too -

Specifically, the Top Model veterans, in all of their non-existent glory.

So while Saleisha presents her Life as a Cover Girl every Wednesday on TV (followed by the much more satisfying Drew Barrymore ads - why can’t she look like that on the Vogue cover?!), we hear from several California girls that Chantal has moved to Los Angeles and started working with the student designers at FIDM.

Though she’s popped up in several student fashion shows, we hear she’s most excited about working with one girl in particular - FIDM junior Lauren Conrad (who may never finish school, but that’s another story).

Will Chantal become BFF with Audrina and move into Lauren’s new guest house, and work as the fit model for her swooshy, blank clothing line?

Actually, we can totally see that happening - and we hear that so can a few people in the TV industry. Stay tuned…

So I got a call from Jade, the crazy Top Model contestant who was just a terror. It was actually her agent asking if I was interested in booking her for fashion week in February… She called her the “million dollar face.”

I’m not doing the booking anyway, and c’mon, it’s JADE! [Redacted: too mean for print]. But she insisted on emailing me these pictures and I had to share them with you.

We were thinking about having a go see just for fun if we weren’t busy as hell. We’re not as mean as she was on the show!

There’s nothing remotely fashionable about any of this, but its pretty hilarious. Apparently Matthew Ralston shot them. Enjoy.

While some Top Model junkies debate whether the competition was rigged in favor of winner Saleisha Stowers, the newest reality winner has arrived in New York.

We hear Ms. Saleisha visited the Elite offices in Manhattan for the first time yesterday, though she wasn’t sent out on any go-sees because she was too busy getting interviewed by the press (funny, we never got to speak with her!).

The general consensus seems to be that she’s a very cute girl - but is that enough to actually book jobs?

Probably not, though we can totally see her guest-starring on a children’s sitcom like Hannah Montana - if anything, Saleisha looks like a really adorable, accessible pop star from Nickelodeon… in heels.
