Is Nicole Richie the New Face of Halston?: The reality TV star turned fashion designer is rumored to be in talks with Halston to represent the brand. We think Richie’s 1970s cool-girl aesthetic is a perfect match for Halston. And she has been wearing a lot of Halston lately. Let’s hope this comes to fruition! {Grazia}

Nicole Richie has come a long way since her days as Paris Hilton’s funny-but-also-kinda-trashy best friend. She’s got a fledgling clothing line, a successful accessories line (which she just won an ACE award for) and according to US Weekly, she’s also working on a new line for QVC. Go Nicole!

A source told the magazine: “The line is cute — it can be worn by teeny-tiny girls but also goes up to size XXXL,” and added that, “Nicole has a great fashion sense, and she’s very hands-on.”

No word yet on what the line will be called (may we suggest something honoring her other kid, Sparrow?), or what the pricing point will be, but QVC usually keeps things wallet-friendly.

Nicole Richie Named “Influencer of the Year”: ‘Tis a rare thing to see a celebrity accessories line truly produce anything worthy of note, but Nicole Richie’s House of Harlow 1960 is certainly an exception. The Accessories Council has honored her with the “Influencer of the Year” award, for consistently producing unique pieces we actually want to wear. {The Fashion Spot}

Since Halloween falls on a Monday this year, a lot of parties were planned for this past weekend. Celebs, fashion people, and various reality TV riff-raff were all out in full force with their costumes blazing. From strippers to princesses, the costumes ran the gamut.

Oh, and of course there was Heidi Klum (left) who went as a…medical school cadaver? Anatomy drawing? Flaying victim? Klum told People her costume was called “visible woman” and described it as “kind of like a dead body with the first layer of skin ripped off…it’s basically like me naked.”

old TV

Remember waaay back in 2004, when the first-ever designer was auf’d on Project Runway, and there was still a glimmer of hope that ANTM might actually find America’s next top model? We secretly practiced smizing in the mirror and cringed at the prospect of boring Nina. Well, things have gotten a lot more complex since those simple times–for better or worse (but mostly better!). While we still love our old faves, it’s always nice to mix it up a bit and keep the DVR busy–especially when it comes to fashion television.

This fall and beyond offers a slew of exciting (and at times, a little repetitive) new fashionably oriented reality shows: From competitions searching for even more amazing new talents, to docu-series following our already much-loved fash peeps (hello, Brad!), to a behind-the-counter look at one of our go-to shopping spots. These shows are like shoes–you can really never have too many. (Though you might stop wearing shoes all together. You don’t really need them for sitting on the couch, do you?)

So which ones are you watching? Ready, set, “Record Series!”

Alice Temperley Wants A Longer LFW: The Pippa fave feels London Fashion Week–which, at five days, is the shortest of the major four–should be extended. Says Ms. Temperley, “London’s better than New York Fashion Week now.” Alright, now tell us how you really feel! {Telegraph}

McCartney’s Collab for NYC Ballet: Stella McCartney has designed the costumes for a new ballet opening Thursday with a score penned by her dear old dad Paul. The designer feels collaborating with your father is “emotional” for anybody, but that “on another side, I know and understand I am working with Paul McCartney.” {WWD}

Fashion and Fantasy Mix in New Shopping Technology: “Augmented Realities” are growing in popularity on online shopping sites, where the obvious lack of trying-before-buying has always been a major problem. New and improved AR apps generally involve live feeds and 3-D imagery, allowing users to “try on” clothes, makeup, glasses… and grow horns?? {NY Times}

LOS ANGELES–The famed Hollywood Forever cemetery played host to quite the quintessential all-American hipster summer soiree on Wednesday night as cool kids Joel Madden, Andrew Garfield, Sarah Silverman, Jenny Lewis, Scott Sternberg, George Kotsiopoulos and more gathered to fete Band of Outsiders, Net-a-Porter and Mr. Porter.

To set the tone, plenty of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, RC Cola and warm weather fare (meatball sandwiches, potato chips, macaroni salad and more) were served up to the stylish crowd of industry insiders mingling amongst tombstones and morbid memorial sites.

“The cemetery totally creeps me out, but I came anyway to support the brand,” laughed Madden, carrying his personal picnic basket while scouting out a supreme spot on the grounds to watch the screening of the classic 1979 film Meatballs, starring Bill Murray. “They have been doing basic before anyone else. Now basic is actually very big, but Band of Outsiders was years ahead. They just do it right.”

The Met Gala is all about the dresses, but as we know, fashion and beauty go hand in hand. There were some spectacular looks and some, um, interesting ones. We’ll break it all down for you here.

Some trends emerged, and we can say this: if you’re still wearing boring lip gloss everyday, now’s the time to run out and get some bold lipstick. Nude, dewy faces were also popular, so you have options for those days when you can’t bear a red lip.

Click through for the best and, we’ll just say “questionable” looks from last night’s Met Gala.
