Azzaro Loses Creative Director, Hedi Slimane Maybe Designing for Rolling Stones, and John Hamm’s Bulge Returns

Beyoncé hit the town this weekend wearing a very unique pair of earrings supporting her favorite presidential candidate. Hey, does anyone else get the feeling she’s voting for Obama? {HuffPo}

Mathilde Castello Branco has stepped down from her position as creative director of Azzaro, after only a year at the label. Branco’s next movement is not yet known, and while there’s no word yet on who will replace her, Azzaro released a statement saying they will “shortly be announcing her successor.” Stay tuned.{Vogue UK}

This strikes us as highly unlikely, but apparently supermodel Kate Moss is helping One Direction hottie Harry Styles decorate his new place after he rang up asking her for help. (Harry, I once interned for an interior designer – just throwing that out there.) {Sugarscape}

What is more distracting on the red carpet: the white makeup powder on Jon Hamm’s face or his, erm, visible bulge? {The Cut}

Fashion News Roundup: Madonna Wears Agent Provocateur On Her Single Cover, Coco Rocha to Host a Reality Show, and Kanye West’s Shoes Get Picked Up

Madonna Barely Wears Agent Provocateur on New Single Cover: Along with her droves of loyal fans, Madonna can now count lingerie brand Agent Provocateur as one of her biggest supporters – in the extremely literal sense. No denying that Madge looks gooood on her “Girls Gone Wild” single cover, but we’ve just one caveat: While it’s no secret that some things go south with age, it seems Madonna’s nips have full-on vanished. Life is a mystery… {Telegraph}

Coco Rocha’s New Online Beauty Show: Is Coco Rocha gearing up to be the next model mogul a la Tyra and Heidi? The Canadian cutie is set to host a new online reality series airing this April called Canada’s Best Beauty Talent, which will feature hair and beauty experts competing for a showcase in a magazine spread. You go Coco! {HuffPo Canada}

Downton Abbey Actress Looks Dead in Dominic Jones Jewelry Campaign: Would you buy jewelry from a dead person? Or more specifically, a dead Downton Abbey actress? Dominic Jones seems to think so–his latest campaign features Downton actress Jessica Brown Findlay and model Mary Charteris posing in what could easily be an ANTM shoot challenge inspired by The Others. {Refinery 29}

Agent Provocateur Is Selling a $24,000 ‘Playsuit’ (Yes, Someone Will Buy It)

by

Remember that scary and boob-filled Agent Provocateur short film we showed you last week? It was to promote today’s online launch of the lingerie brand’s new Soiree collection, which is described in WWD as “high-end” and “ultraluxurious.” Sarah Shotton, creative director of Agent Provocateur told the trade, “It’s about dressing up, luxury and a lot of hand-embellishment…It’s really fun…I get to use very beautiful fabrics.”

All of that hand-embellishment and beautiful fabric, which includes things like napa leather and Swarovski crystals, will cost you. Prices range from $312 for knickers to $24,000 for a one-off piece that you’ll have to fly to London to get your hands on: It’s a playsuit handmade from tassels and Swarovski glass beads sold exclusively at Harrod’s. Doesn’t that just sound like the one thing missing from your closet right now?
