Fashion News Roundup: Kate Middleton Goes Camping, Karlie Kloss Bares her Butt in Vogue, and Karl Lagerfeld Created a $46,000 Bejeweled Collar

Kate Middleton, our favorite princess, braved the elements in a pair of $470 (that’s £300) leather lined wellies, paired with Zara jeans this weekend, to go camping with some kids. {Daily Mail}

Sheer, sparkly bodysuits: great in music videos, not so much live on stage as Katy Perry found out at last night’s Much Music awards. {Huffington Post}

Karl Lagerfeld, who loves a high collar, has created a leather one covered in black diamonds and one very large emerald. The price for this one-of-a-kind masterpiece? A mere $46,000, or £29,000. {Vogue UK}

The Most Memorable Looks From the 2012 Billboard Music Awards Red Carpet

At last night’s Billboard awards the stars brought the glam–and the fug–hard. The result was a red carpet that was as entertaining as it was varied.

Case in point: Miley Cyrus showed up wearing nothing but a tuxedo jacket–seriously–while Carrie Underwood sported a princess-y gown with a massive, tulle skirt. What’s more, the red carpet ushered in some memorable looks from stars, both new and old, we don’t get to see every day: Brandy showed up working a Tina Turner-esque look, while Carly Rae Jepsen landed herself on our ‘one to watch’ list with a nude floor-length gown.

Click through to see the most memorable looks from the night.

Step Away From the Feathers: 10 Coachella Trends That Need To Die

Coachella is the music festival to end all music festivals, so we always watch to see what fashion trends are going to be big on the circuit. While this weekend brought out the best in some (Dree Hemingway in Dolce and Gabbana!), Buzzfeed’s list of Coachella fashion disasters reminded us of the worst. Is anyone else so sick of feather headdresses and denim cutoffs?

So without further ado, here are 10 festival fashion trends we here at Fashionista hope get left in the dust!

10 Best Dressed at the 2012 Kids’ Choice Awards

The Kids’ Choice Awards Show is always one we look forward to when it comes to red carpet fashion because stars tend to go for more risky and playful styles. (Maybe it has to do with the possibility of getting slimed…)

Anyway, Saturday’s awards show was no exception: From Katy Perry in a slime-ified bra top by Gerlan Jeans, to Selena Gomez in midriff-baring Dolce & Gabbana and a super hot MObama in Wes Gordon, click through for our list of the 10 best dressed celebs at the 2012 Kids’ Choice Awards.

Fashion News Roundup: Kim Kardashian Gets Flour Bombed, Dov Charney is Cleared of Sex Abuse Charges, and American Idol Has a Clothing Line

Kim Kardashian Gets a Little Messy: This is definitely not the kind of flower flour girls like receiving. After spending probably three hours in hair and makeup, poor Kimmy K was flour-bombed (think pie-d before the ingredients are mixed) by some disgruntled onlooker at her fragrance release event. Turns out that suspected culprit PETA was in fact not responsible for this half-baked (hehe) sabotage– but a rep made sure to tell TMZ that they were pretty pleased just the same. {Styleite, TMZ}

Dov Charney is An ‘Innocent’ Man: Could 2012 be the year of Dov Charney’s comeback? After being on the constant brink of bankruptcy, American Apparel’s founder and CEO can say adieu to another legal hurdle. A Brooklyn judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought on by a former employee last year claiming that Charney had used her as a “sex slave.” {HuffPo}

American Idol Becoming Fashion Forward: Following the announcement that Tommy Hilfiger will be the reality show’s new “style advisor,” it’s been revealed that American Idol will be releasing its new ‘Authentic Icon’ clothing line at Kohl’s in April – also home to AI judge Jennifer Lopez’s own clothing range. It seems even Idol alum (and Smash star) Katherine McPhee is getting in on the fash game: She was reportedly seen sprinting to the Conde Nast building to “meet Miss Anna Wintour” on Wednesday– though we’re betting there was nary a mention of ‘Kohl’s’ in that meeting. {NY Mag, NY Post}

Katy Perry and Baptiste Giabiconi Rumored to be Dating (We Really Want this Duet to Happen)

Katy Perry and our favorite male-model-turned-pop-star Baptiste Giabiconi are rumored to be dating, according to the Daily Mail. The two met at the Chanel show, went to dinner that night and, held hands, so naturally they are now “inseparable,” and “totally smitten.” Princess Kasia Al-Thani, who is apparently a close friend of Baptiste (but not Read more →

Fashion News Roundup: Katy Perry Confuses Balmain for Hooker Gear, Mila Kunis is On a Boat for Dior, and Terry Richardson Shoots Colorful Commercials for Aldo

Katy Perry Makes a Funny at PFW: When asked about the revealing mini dress the Smurfette-tressed pop star donned recently in Paris, she replied, “It’s either Vegas hooker or Balmain.” And upon meeting Conde Nast chairman Jonathan Newhouse, Katy blurted out, “Newhouse– much better than old house!” Maybe the windows weren’t cracked quite enough during all those blue hair dying sessions, but we can’t say we mind the entertainment. {NY Mag}

Mila Kunis Shoots for Dior: Mila’s on a boat–or should we say, un bateau. The gorg actress and latest face of Dior was spotted looking tres chic as she shot a new campaign for the Parisian fashion house on La Seine. {Telegraph}

Alexa Chung Will Host Scottish Fashion Awards: Great Britain’s greatest Brit (fashion wise, anyway) is set to bring her quirky-cool brand of humor to the 7th annual Scottish Fashion Awards, in association with InStyle, this June. The awards celebrate the best of Scotch talent, and past honorees have included Christopher Kane, Holly Fulton, and Jonathan Saunders. Here’s hoping the program allows for multiple wardrobe changes for Alexa, a la Anne Hathaway at last year’s Oscars. {InStyle}

Fashion News Roundup: J.Lo’s Stylist Denies a Nip Slip, Katy Perry Looks Hot on Interview, and Topshop Opens on the West Coast

Jennifer Lopez and the Nip Slip That Wasn’t: Despite Twitter buzz to the contrary, Jennifer Lopez’s stylist Mariel Haenn insists that a nip slip Sunday night just wasn’t possible for J. Lo. “While the dress did give the illusion of sheer-ness, joke’s on everyone who wishes they saw something!” scoffs the stylist, adding that the gown had “special cups” to prevent any slips. {People}

Grading the Men: As it turns out, the men didn’t get very high accolades at last night’s red carpet. Many committed tuxedo sins, like pants that were too long (George Clooney) or a business-like tie with a formal jacket (Antonio Banderas). Passing grades were given to presenters Tom Hanks and Christian Bale. {NYT}

Katy Perry Covers Interview: Proving that the best revenge is living well (and looking HOT), Katy Perry channels her inner siren on the upcoming cover of Interview. It’s definitely different than we’re used to seeing Perry – more sexy and less saccharine. We can’t wait for the full spread! {ONTD}
