Fashion News Roundup: Miley Cyrus’ Engagement Ring Cost $100k, Ryan Gosling Nail Art Is a Thing, and Victoria Beckham Says David Can’t Dance

When Amanda Brooks left the city for the farm, she had loads of fashion goodies that she couldn’t take with her. Fortunately for those of us still left in the city, she left the likes of Prada, Phillip Lim, and Chanel to the New York City Opera’s annual pop-up thrift shop. {NYPost}

Miley Cyrus is engaged to Gale Liam Hemsworth! The engagement ring, designed by Neil Lane and featuring a 3.5 karat diamond, cost a reported $100,000. {Hollywood Life}

Victoria Beckham is British and proud of it! She appears in a video for Britain’s GREAT campaign in which she discusses great British design and music and lets the world know that hottie husband David can’t dance. {Styleite}

Gisele took a trip to her homeland of Brazil for the Green Nation Fest. The supermodel planted trees wearing a baggy shirt, leading to further speculation that perhaps she’s growing more than just trees. {PopSugar}

Last Night’s Party: Karl Lagerfeld Pops Up in the West Village With Hilary Rhoda and Leigh Lezark

Last night, Karl Lagerfeld extended his empire even further with a launch party for his new range of T-shirts in collaboration with artist collective I Love Dust, which was held, appropriately, in a Karl pop-up shop in the West Village. And though Lagerfeld wasn’t physically there, there was plenty of his likeness to go around

There were Lagerfeld dolls, teddy bears, shoes, jackets, and special-edition Diet Coke, sprinkled alongside the new shirts, which are emblazoned with his most memorable quotes and images of his signature style pieces.

The scene was a remarkable testament to the power of the Kaiser’s ever expanding personal brand.

Fashion News Roundup: The Beckhams Don’t Have a £10,000 Baby Monitor, Bravo Is Launching a Male Model Reality Show, and Jean Paul Gaultier Joins Cannes Jury

The Beckhams Don’t Have a Damien Hirst Baby Monitor: Victoria Beckham has fired back at the UK tabs, denying reports that little Harper Seven received a £10,000 baby monitor as a gift from artist Damien Hirst. How useful could a baby monitor submerged in formaldehyde really be, anyway? {Daily Mail}

Hilary Rhoda’s Legs are Looong: Is this real? Model Hilary Rhoda’s legs look absolutely ridic in this shoot for French glossy Le Figaro. Or as Christian in Clueless would say… “Nice stems.” {Le Figaro via Fashin}

Jean Paul Gaultier on Cannes Jury? With rumors floating around that JPG will join the jury at this year’s Cannes Film Fest, it sounds like fashion may feature heavily behind the scenes as well as on the red carpet. If only, for close friend (and dissed W.E. creator) Madonna’s sake, this had happened last year… {WWD}

Fashion News Roundup: Uggs Loses Serious Stock, Tom Ford’s Bathing Habits, and Karl Lagerfeld’s Muse on DWTS

Ugg-ly Footwear Losing Stock Value The end of a fashion epidemic?? Stock in the comfy-yet-unfortunate looking booties has fallen a nearly unheard of 39% in the past week, and Crocs aren’t doing so hot either. It’s time to put them away, people. Forever. {Racked}

Tom Ford’s Documentary Airs Next Week : Tom Ford: Visionaries will air October 23 on OWN, offering a rare “intimate” look at Ford’s creative process and daily life. He apparently takes more than three baths a day. While we’re really excited about this doc, we’re secretly wishing this were a segment of now-defunct Oprah Winfrey Show– if only to hear Opie belt out a satisfying “Tooooom FoooOOOooord!!!” {Marie Claire}

Fashionable TwitPics of the Week: Revealing phone pics of Kim K. doing hookah, Hilary Rhoda’s store bought cookie dough, and Lily Donaldson on a very tiny horse. There’s even one of Doutzen Kroes doing her best Scarlett Johannson impression… well, almost. {FabSugar}

Chanel Model on France’s Dancing With The Stars Male model, Karl’s muse, and sometimes-”pop star” Baptiste Giabiconi is a contestant on France’s version of DWTS. He’s often shirtless… and wearing body glitter. Wonder if Karl tunes in every week for inspiration? {OhLaLa}

Hilary Rhoda Hits the Beach in FOAM Magazine

Our favorite all-American model Hilary Rhoda covers the latest issue of chic LA-based surf mag FOAM. The editorial is Rhoda’s first since moving over to Women Management from IMG, and we love that she’s doing some less commercial work. With her rocking beach bod, dark brows and piercing blue eyes, Rhoda makes the fiercest surfer girl we’ve ever seen. Advanced copies of the mag hit newsstands today.

Hilary Rhoda to Women: Are More Editorials in Store for the Super?

We’re always curious as to why we don’t see Hilary Rhoda in more magazines.

Maybe it’s because she’s so rich that she doesn’t have to do editorials? Maybe it’s because she doesn’t like doing them? Maybe it’s because her All-American looks don’t work in high fashion?

Yes, we realize that final suggestion is preposterous. But Rhoda’s card for her new New York agency, Women, is more directional than anything we’ve seen her do recently. And that’s not saying much.

We’re wondering if the move from IMG–best known for repping commercial models like Tyra Banks–means that Ms. Estee Lauder is looking to book some Love editorials.

The Power Brow Is Here to Stay. We Round Up The Best and Boldest.

According to Daily Mail, “The Brooke Shields ‘power brow’ is back!.” We’ve heard this before and it seems the bold brow shows no sign of thinning out any time soon. The British tab reports that the comeback came when Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, and Calvin Klein sent their models down the runway with thickened arches. However, we feel this look is best achieved by those naturally blessed with beautiful brows. Thus, we present our list of the top ten brows in the biz.
