Fashion Is Funny: A Look Back at Saturday Night Live‘s Best Fashion Impersonations

We may or may not have shed a tear during Kristen Wiig’s “Ruby Tuesday” send-off that capped this weekend’s Saturday Night Live season finale. Saturday’s show marked the comedienne’s bittersweet final performance at Studio 8H (until she inevitably/thankfully comes back as a guest host). While we can’t wait to see more of her hilarious Bridesmaids-esque Read more →

The Best Photobombs From the 2012 Met Gala

Last night’s Met Gala offered plenty of ultra-glam shots–but thanks to the crowded red carpet it also gave us some excellent and hilarious photobombs.

And, as everyone knows, as fun as it is to see your favorite celebrities looking all poised and fancy, posing for the cameras, it’s even more fun to see them looking slightly disheveled and confused in the background.

So without further ado, click through to see the best photobombs of the night, from Amy Poehler‘s awesome mischievous grin, to Donatella Versace‘s poker face.

Anonymous Retail Rant: Don’t Leave Your (Used) Feminine Items in the Dressing Rooms, and Other Rules to Shop By

Anonymous Retail Rant: Don’t Leave Your (Used) Feminine Items in the Dressing Rooms, and Other Rules to Shop By

After a year of working as a sales associate at a well-known, fast fashion chain in downtown New York, I’ve had my fair share of good and bad customers. A good, appreciative, understanding customer can make even the most stressful, cramped, miserable days of retail (which, let’s face it, are many and close between) feel like a stroll through a well aerated, uncrowded, naturally lit park. Well, almost.

I’ve had ladies shriek with delight when I’ve handed them the store’s last pair of suspender tights that Rihanna wore. Or the flag-print hotpants Rihanna wore. Or anything Rihanna wore. Many customers have specifically requested my name following our interaction, so as to tell my higher-ups how helpful they found me (though sadly, I do not work on commission). One customer literally jumped up and down hugging me when I returned from an arduous journey to the stock room and back with last season’s faded pink skinny jeans that were no longer on the sales floor. “I hope you’re here next time I come,” she squealed, “I’m going to ask for you!” To which I replied, “For my sake, let’s hope I’m not.”

So what, you ask, has caused this level of embitterment?

When Hollywood and the White House Collide
Red Carpet

When Hollywood and the White House Collide

The White House Correspondents’ Dinner, which took place Saturday night in DC, always makes for an interesting red carpet. The event is a strange mix of politicians, New York’s media power players, and celebrities from the A list on down to the D list. We’re talking President Obama and Kim Kardashian in the same room (“Why is she famous anyway?” Obama joked during his speech). And that makes for some very interesting fashion.

Take a look. And watch President Obama’s hilarious speech first. He’s so good.

From Elle Fanning to Hailee Steinfeld: We Dress Some of Our Favorite Starlets for Prom

With prom season upon us, we’ve been looking at the dresses from all different angles: What to wear, what not to wear, how to get the look.

For most celebrities, however, this routine is nothing new. Getting dolled up for a night of partying and red carpet stomping is just another part of the job–however, for young Hollywood actresses the routine is slightly different since they have designers clamoring to dress them.

We can’t imagine that any of the current hot young things are tired of getting dressed up just yet, so we’ve decided to dress a few of our favorite starlets (of a certain high school-ish age–we know some of them are over 18…) for prom in some looks from spring and fall.

Click through for a prom we are very interested in attending.

What We Saw at New York Fashion Week, Day 5

Day five of New York Fashion Week was a real dream. We took in shows from Marc Jacobs, Chris Benz, Preen, Karen Walker, and Donna Karan – meaning we saw all our friends and our favorite NYFW celebrities.

We snapped Dakota Fanning meeting Jared Leto at Marc Jacobs, the fabulous Michelle Harper at Preen, and Coco Rocha at Betsey Johnson. We also received a cute (and cat themed!) Valentine’s Day gift from our PS I Made This and caught up with the Man Repeller, Leandra Medine, twice!

Check out all our photos in today’s gallery.

Fashion News Roundup: Nicki Minaj Wears Prada in Wonderland, Karl Lagerfeld Was Claudia Schiffer’s Mentor, and You Can Buy Daphne Guinness’s Butterfly-Filled Apartment

Karl Lagerfeld Mentored Lost Lamb Claudia Schiffer: Way back when O.S. (Original Super) Claudia Schiffer was just a homesick little fräulein in the big bad world of modeling, the Kaiser apparently took her under his friendly fingerless-gloved wing as her wise mentor. Sounds just like a modern-day modeling fairy tale. {Vogue UK}

Nicki Minaj Wears Prada on Wonderland: For the mag’s Feb/March issue, a cotton-candy coiffed Nicki Minaj proves that Prada is for more than just basic bitches. Check out Wonderland‘s latest cover, which features Ms. Minaj rocking totally natural lashes and what looks like a printed version of the Spring ’12 bodysuit that’s been taking over recent editorials. {Design Scene}

What Does Solange Knowles Wear Every Day? Ever wonder what Solange is wearing on a daily basis? Well wonder no longer!! B’s baby sis is Vogue UK‘s “Today I’m Wearing…” girl for February. And she’s a supporter of daytime clutches– Which charity is that exactly? {Vogue UK}
