Versace for H&M: From the Runway to the Red Carpet to Mother Effing Prince, Here’s All You Need to Know About Last Night’s Spectacular
Last night Versace and H&M pulled out all the stops–and we mean all of them–to put on a runway show and party to celebrate their collaboration, which hits stores on November 19. Pier 57 was transformed into “Versace Hall” complete with a mirror-walled cocktail lounge (made to resemble Versace’s show space in Milan) and a wood paneled runway in a pattern that seemed to mimic Versace’s Greek fret motif (and also ensured everyone got a front row seat).
Everyone except Anna Wintour was there (and maybe she was and we just didn’t see her?): performers Prince and Nicki Minaj (wearing an enormous green wig and sequined Versace for H&M) sat to watch the show; celebs, all dressed in h-to-t Versace for H&M, included Blake Lively, Uma Thurman, Jessica Alba, Chace Crawford, Chloe Moretz, Jennifer Hudson and Alan Cumming; there were designers aplenty from Joseph Altuzarra to Alexander Wang to Christopher Kane; in keeping with the collection’s ’90s theme, ’90s supermodels Linda Evangelista and Helena Christensen were there; and there were too many stylists and editors and socialites to count.
“It looks good,” Minaj told us about the collection as she walked the red carpet. “All the stuff they brought to my room today I was like, ‘I’m keeping that!’ Minaj confessed that she fell in her platform Versaces during the filming for her Superbass video but she said, “I’m not taking them off, fashion is pain, and I’m keeping them on, and Superbass went on to be such a big song, so maybe Versace’s good luck.”

The Top Ten Best Dressed from Glamour‘s Women of the Year Awards
Last night we headed over to Carnegie Hall for a night of inspiration, heart-warming speeches and, most importantly, girl power. For those of you who don’t know, we are of course talking about Glamour‘s Women of the Year awards.
The annual event, which honors extraordinary women, this year doled out awards to the year’s standout stars–from the most talked about songstresses like Lea Michele and J.Lo to the visionaries who truly changed the world, such as Egypt’s “Facebook Girl” and Huffington Post founder Arianna Huffington, as well as legends like feminist Gloria Steinem.
While the there were too many wise words to count (Arianna Huffington reminding us that “failure is just a stepping stone to success,” Gloria Steinem assuring us that there is life after 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, “life is just one big surprise”) we’ve managed to at least narrow down the night’s best dressed. Though with ladies as remarkable as these, that too was a challenge. Click through to see the best dressed from the night.

Which Celebs Have the Best Bodies? Here Are the Results of Fitness Mag’s Poll (Find Out Which Middleton Sister Made the List)
People care what celebrities look like, how they dress, and how much weight they’ve gained/lost. It’s just a fact of modern life that we can critique Kim Kardashian’s ass any old time we want, thanks to the magic of the internet. Because we love judging celebrities and their toned (or, gasp, not toned!) bodies, Fitness mag polls its readers each year to find out the best celebrity bodies. They’ve just released this year’s poll results and while there are a few surprises, it’s a lot of the same old yoga bodies.
By that we mean–Jennifer Aniston. Jen cleaned up in a few categories: body women want most (34%), best abs (65%), and best over-40 (24%, though she had stiff competition with Halle Berry and J.Lo on that one). Halle Berry, Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, and Blake Lively rounded out the top five most-wanted bodies.
And if we could make a composite celeb with the best body ever, it would look like this:

2011 CFDA Awards: From Kanye and Phoebe to Sofia and Marc
Last night’s CFDA Awards were a decidedly star-studded affair, what with Lady Gaga, Kanye West, Sofia Coppola, Jessica Alba, Gerard Butler, Naomi Watts, and host Anderson Cooper spending time on the stage. Cooper had to leave early because of “that Weiner thing,” or so Diane von Furstenberg said, but otherwise the audience received plenty of face time with their star of choice–there were even a couple of moments when one could forget this was, you know, a fashion industry event. But only a couple.

Kate Winslet and Jessica Alba Both Score Major Campaigns
A day without news of a celebrity fragrance, clothing line, or ambassador-dom is rare indeed, and today is no exception.
Kate Winslet follows in the footsteps of Gisele Bundchen, Angelina Jolie, and Karen Elson as the new face of St. John. She has been an “elegance” ambassador for Longines watches and is a long-time face for Lancôme. Her posh looks suit the brand perfectly, though someday we’d love to see someone a bit dirtier shake the brand up a bit. If you’re in New Jersey today, WWD reports that Craig McDean will be shooting the campaign there if you’d like to try and crash it. Look for the first ads to hit mags this September.

Miu Miu London Gets a Makeover: Katie Grand, Chloe Moretz, Natalie Massenet Celebrate
LONDON–Now 18 years old, Miu Miu–Prada‘s jaunty little sister–has just moved into her new address on London’s New Bond St. alongside YSL and McQueen. Celebrating the two story flagship’s Roaring 20s-themed makeover were stateside celebs Jessica Alba–in a sequin caramel and citron silk shift–Twilight star Jamie Campbell and his fiance, Harry Potter actress Bonnie Wright, as well as fresh faces like Chloe Moretz and Emma Roberts.
The space’s new look takes its cues from the Mayfair neighborhood’s original tenants of art and antiques dealers, completing the grown up glamor with pink flamingos and dirty martinis by Peter Dorelli of the Savoy, the UK’s oldest luxury hotel, which itself recently underwent a £220 million restoration.
Catwalk looks occupied the second floor with Miu Miu‘s covetable bags and accessories on the ground floor replete with a limited edition six-piece range of satchels in everything from faux fur and snakeskin to leather and studs.
