So Who Did Anna Wintour ‘Ban’ From the Met Gala This Year?

Last year’s silly, dramatic Met gala rumor was that Anna Wintour had banned Kim Kardashian from attending, leaving Kanye West to go stag. This was obviously not the case this year–Kardashian not only attended the event, but was also welcomed into Wintour’s home the night before.

However, if the celebrity gossip rags are to be believed (which, ya know), this year’s Met Ball was not as drama-free as it seemed.

That Story About Lady Gaga Returning a Gown With Semen On It? Not as Crazy as You’d Think

So yesterday the New York Post ran this story, “Red Carpet Lending Nightmares,” detailing the distressed condition designer gowns are returned in after they’ve been worn by a celebrity on the red carpet.

The most salacious story? An anonymous PR told the tab that Lady Gaga returned a Mugler gown with what looked like a semen stain on it. “It was so disgusting,” she said. “I couldn’t even tell you.”

‘Slut’ Clothes: A Brief History

In a recent piece for T magazine, Suzy Menkes heralds the end of what she calls a “decade of slut style,” and a return to modesty on the runways. (Yeah, we had a thing or two to say about that.) But if history is any indication, provocative fashion is nothing new and not going anywhere anytime soon.

Why Some Street Style Superstars Are Shying Away from the Spotlight

Why Some Street Style Superstars Are Shying Away from the Spotlight

If you feel like you didn’t see much of street style starlet Taylor Tomasi Hill this past fashion month, that’s because you didn’t.

Tomasi Hill is deliberately avoiding photographers, repeating outfits and slipping in and out of shows ala Anna Wintour, according to our sources. The reason? She reportedly wants her position as Moda Operandi’s artistic director to be taken more seriously.

To be fair, this doesn’t mean she’s gone altogether. Tomasi Hill did a photo diary for Harperbazaar.com over fashion week, and was featured on Style.com.
