Making Sense of Tom Ford’s Over-the-Top Cartoon Glam Rock Fall Collection

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}
