Fashion News Roundup: Nivea Disses Rihanna, Lindsay Lohan May Be in a Lady Gaga Video, and Gisele’s Bump Is Growing

Gisele has still not confirmed her pregnancy, which is obviously her prerogative, but it really leaves the door open for everyone to make “food baby” jokes. {The Cut}

Rumor has it Lindsay Lohan has nabbed her next gig – a Lady Gaga video for a forthcoming single from her new album ARTPOP. {NYPost}

Fashionista Week In Review: Kate Upton’s Wardrobe Malfunction Caught on Tape, Street Style Psychology and PETA’s Anti-Olsen Twins Crusade

Kate Upton’s Behind The Scenes Video: Banned from YouTube and Vimeo before finally calling GQ’s website home, a behind the scenes video from Kate Upton’s GQ feature by Terry Richardson made waves when it hit the web. Not surprisingly, her boobs are the star of the show.

Fashion Memes Promote Stylish Procrastination: We rounded up our ten favorite fashion-related memes for a good Friday LOL, and now we’re asking you to revisit them because, let’s face it, they’re still hilarious.

Menswear Trends For The Gals: A good suit or blazer is just as much a necessity for men as it is for women, but that’s not where the gender bending ends. We took a look at some of the top street style trends at menswear fashion week and made them work for the girls. We wouldn’t recommend that Nazi-inspired look that’s been trending, though…

When Hollywood and the White House Collide
Red Carpet

When Hollywood and the White House Collide

The White House Correspondents’ Dinner, which took place Saturday night in DC, always makes for an interesting red carpet. The event is a strange mix of politicians, New York’s media power players, and celebrities from the A list on down to the D list. We’re talking President Obama and Kim Kardashian in the same room (“Why is she famous anyway?” Obama joked during his speech). And that makes for some very interesting fashion.

Take a look. And watch President Obama’s hilarious speech first. He’s so good.

Fashion News Roundup: Tommy Hilfiger Joins American Idol, Holland’s Next Top Model Winner Wins Lawsuit Against ELITE Models, and SJP to Return to Fashion

Tommy Hilfiger is American Idol‘s New Image Consultant: The folks at American Idol are giving the program a fashion edge, tapping the talents of Tommy Hilfiger. The designer will advise contestants on what it takes to look like a star. {WWD subscription required}

Holland’s Next Top Model Winner Wins Lawsuit Against ELITE Models: Well, here’s some good news: Ananda Marchildon, who was dropped from ELITE Model Management for being “too hippy,” just won a lawsuit against the agency. ELITE dropped Marchildon after she failed to get her hip width down two centimeters to the preferred 90cm. They withheld a chunk of her Top Model winnings, awarding her only $13,000 out of the $98,500 she was promised. An Amsterdam court ruled that since Marchildon was signed to the agency with her enormous 92cm hips, “Elite could therefore not demand she reach a hip size of 90 centimeters.” ELITE has been ordered to pay her the $85,000 she is due. Justice is served! {OMG! Yahoo!}

Fashion News Roundup: Marc Jacobs Lets 14-Year-Old Models Walk in His Show, Anna Dello Russo Crouched at Diesel, and Lindsay Lohan Shows Terry Richardson Her Undies

Marc Jacobs Uses Underage Models, Defies CFDA Guidelines: Much like the crazy nastyass honey badger, Marc Jacobs just don’t care about the CFDA’s proposed guidelines to ban models under age 16 from the runway, despite the fact that Jacobs is a member of the organization. In brazen defiance, Jacobs used at least two models who had potentially just completed their bat mitzvah’s, stating “If their parents are willing to let them do a show, I don’t see any reason that it should be me who tells them that they can’t.” Whatever, whatever, Marc does what he wants! {NY Times}

New Designers Struggle to Get Notice at NYFW: Not all designers can get Anna Wintour (or even George Lucas) in the front row. Take a look into the world of the new and talented designers who can’t yet afford a runway at Lincoln Center, or a professional makeup artist for that matter. {NY Mag}

Fashion News Roundup: Take A Class on Beyoncé at Rutgers, French Elle Removes Offensive ‘Black Fashion’ Article, and Does LVMH Have a Heart?

Rutgers to Offer Course on Beyoncé: Now here’s a class we wouldn’t have regularly skipped when we were undergrads: a Rutger’s University professor is teaching a course on the significance of Beyoncé Knowles in regards to black feminism, studying her lyrics against the works of historical black female figures like Alice Walker and Sojourner Truth. Her husband, Jay-Z also has a course on him offered at Georgetown University. Next up: A seminar at Wesleyan examining how Blue Ivy Carter paved the way for infant musicians. {Sister 2 Sister}

Megan Fox Will Not Play Elizabeth Taylor: The actress took to Facebook to deny claims that she is in talks with Lifetime producers to play Elizabeth Taylor for their upcoming biopic, Liz and Dick. Looks like Lindsay Lohan might soon be getting some much-needed work after all! {ONTD}

ELLE France Removes Controversial Black Fashion Article: After facing much public scrutiny, ELLE France has removed their ‘Black Fashion Power’ article, which credited the Obamas for finally influencing black people to retire their Apple Bottom jeans, boots with the fur and “[return] to style with a sense of dignity.” ELLE‘s editor claims the article was “misinterpreted” (there seems to be a lot of that going around these days), but we’re pretty sure we got what author Nathalie Dolvio was trying to say the first time. {The Cut}

Zappos Gets Hacked: 24 million accounts were affected Monday when a hacker let loose on the online shoe store. Names, addresses, phone numbers, and partial credit card numbers were accessed, causing the e-tailer to encourage its customers to change their password information for the Zappos site, as well as modify passwords for accounts on other sites if they were the same. We will never understand the motives behind hacking, but whoever caused all this trouble better have ordered themselves a good pair of Nikes to run in once the cops come looking for them! {CNN Money}
