Ali Lohan’s Agency Says She Didn’t Have Plastic Surgery: There’s been a lot of speculation that Lindsay’s little sis, now a model for Next, went under the knife (see then-and-now photos). However, the agency director at Next issued a statement denying the rumors, saying the drastic change was due to natural aging. Do you believe it? {Us Weekly}

Street Style: Fashion’s Night Out Edition

by

So you probably know that last night was Fashion’s Night Out. Hooray you survived! You shopped! You saw x celebrity! You listened to music! You drank some cheap champagne! You hopefully ate some free food with that cheap champagne!

No? You didn’t do these things? Well if you didn’t venture out for the third annual Fashion’s Night Out we asked our very own street style photog Ashley Jahncke to document what was arguably one of the evening’s hippest and most fashionable events: the Opening Ceremony “mercado de carnival” at the Ace hotel.

Fashion’s Night Out is Halloween for fashionistas and you can be sure the folks at Opening Ceremony’s fete–including Rodarte’s Kate and Laura Mulleavy, Alexander Wang, the Proenza Schouler boys and Miss Piggy–were among the best dressed of the night.

Take a look.

Fashionista’s FNO Guide #3: The Music Snob’s Free Concert Playlist

by

With just one night and counting before the madness that is Fashion’s Night Out, we’ve already brought you the breakdowns for celeb spotting and scoring an evening’s worth of free food and booze. So it’s a perfect time to discuss the musical performances of the night.

But if singing a karaoke duet with A.J. “The Bad One” McLean to “I Want It That Way” or chiming in to a chorus of high-pitched tweenage screams at a Joe Jonas concert would absolutely ruin your reputation, then this is the list (in alphabetical order) for you. Do you just feel more at home quaffing a PBR while checking out a band at Bowery Ballroom/The Bellhouse/the Cake Shop/[insert teeny, sticky-floored music venue here]? You’re going to love Fashion’s Night Out. Of course, to keep in the spirit of the evening, be sure to do a little shopping, too.

Fashion’s Night Out is full of sweet steals–from free drinks to limited edition duds–and now the night-long event’s latest deal is discount Botox.

Yep. The New York Dermatology Group, headed by Dr. David Colbert, is celebrating Fashion’s Night Out with a special half-off deal on Botox and their Triad facial treatments (which have a cult following among fashion and beauty editors) “to help ladies prep for [Fashion Week.]“

Fashionista’s FNO Guide #1: Where to Find the Celebrities

by

We can’t believe Fashion’s Night Out (and, thus, fashion week) is only a week away. As anyone who has ever been to a Fashion’s Night Out is probably aware, they pack enough events to fill an entire week into just a few hours, so pre-FNO planning is key. While Vogue‘s interactive map is quite handy, that is still a lot of stores to go through. So, we’re preparing a few of our own Fashion’s Night Out guides.

This one is for those of you who just want to see some famous people. We don’t blame you! Fashion’s Night Out offers rare opportunities to get up close and personal with real Hollywood stars. Maybe Tilda Swinton and Ne-Yo will become friends or Daniel Radcliffe will get wasted or Alexa Chung will debut a new haircut or Seth Meyers will screw up your drink or the Real Housewives of New York will be insane (that last one is the most likely)! Here’s our guide to where all your favorite celebs will be.

Backstreet Boy AJ McLean Is Performing at Fashion’s Night Out for Kiehl’s

Backstreet Boy AJ McLean Is Performing at Fashion’s Night Out for Kiehl’s

by

Kiehl’s is doing their Karoke Karnival for Fashion’s Night Out again this year, and though the K-themed naming would make it seem like the Kardashians are hosting, they went with the 90s trend and booked former Backstreet Boy AJ McLean as the night’s MC.

If you’re going to be around their Third Avenue store you can stop by at 6:30pm to belt out a tune, which wins everyone (no matter how terrible) a lip balm and a slot in one of their hourly raffles of assorted Kiehl’s goodies. The “Karnival” part has to do with the hot dogs, cotton candy and soft pretzels they’re doling out, which is super helpful to know about considering most stores give away free booze but no food during FNO. McLean is also reportedly going to give a live performance and there are “celebrity guest appearances” scheduled…do we dare hope for a full BSB reunion?

Watch: The Cast of Glee Performs Bowie’s ‘Fashion’ On the Runway for Fashion’s Night Out

by

The Cut just posted the full Fashion’s Night Out promo featuring the cast of Glee performing ‘Fashion.’ Highlights include Jane Lynch doing claw hands, Heather Morris’ dancing (we wish there were more!) and Lea Michele‘s sexy Balmain mini. Though we almost prefer Dianna Agron in Marc Jacobs and a short blond bob. Lowlights include that Lea Michele, who has a great set of pipes, somehow sounds way more Britney than Bowie. But no one can be like Bowie. And now this makes us crave Bowie.

Miss Piggy Will Be at Opening Ceremony’s FNO Extravaganza to Promote New Collab Muppets x Opening Ceremony

by

Opening ceremony has a lot going on for their carnival-themed Fashion’s Night Out bash in and around their Ace Hotel store location.

Firstly, the beloved indie department store will announce this year’s country of focus: Argentina. They’ll be partnering with 125-year-old Argentinean textile company Alpargatas to create limited edition shoes and clothing inspired by traditional Argentinean styles–in particular, they’ll be hawking jupe-soled Alpargatas (aka espadrille-like slip-ons), which, in case you hadn’t guessed, were pioneered by the company. Opening Ceremony will also carry Argentine designers, including JUNGLE Vi.Ai.Pi., Ale Sly, and Chicco Ruiz, to customize styles, colorways, and fabrications for the retailer and brand–all of which will become available this September.

Best of all though, is that Miss Piggy (yes, really) will be stopping by the brand’s store in the Ace Hotel this Fashion’s Night Out. Why you ask? To unveil her new collection with the brand, Muppets x Opening Ceremony a.k.a the best news we’ve heard all morning (and we’d still say that even if it weren’t a dreadfully slow summer news day)!
