Fashionista Week in Review: Karl Lagerfeld in a Mankini, P’Trique Spills Charlotte Free’s Maybelline ‘Chicret,’ and Victoria Beckham Is Secretly Hilarious

Antonio Lopez Gets a New Biography + The Best Karl Lagerfeld Photo Ever: Renowned fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez was once close with Karl Lagerfeld, so naturally the new biography about Lopez includes pictures of a younger, buffer Lagerfeld.

Hashtag “Chicret”: We love P’Trique, but we love pink-tressed model Charlotte Free even more, which is why we were so excited to watch this hilarious video with P’Trique announcing Charlotte’s new gig with Maybelline.

Hell Hath No Fury Like A Model Scorned: Or in this case, a supermodel ignored. Find out why Coco Rocha is so pissed at Elle Brasil.

Kimye Debut as Couple at Chanel Dinner: In the surest sign so far that the world will end in 2012, Kim K and Kanye West stepped out together publicly for the first time at a Chanel dinner. Has anyone been keeping a timer here? Surely it’s been about 15 minutes….

What Really Happened With That U.O. Star of David Shirt: The internet worked itself up into a tizzy over an Urban Outfitters shirt, but here’s why we aren’t buying (this time).

Take a Look at the Best (and Strangest) Royal Wedding Anniversary Memorabilia

Kate Middleton and Prince William‘s one year wedding anniversary is almost nigh, and of course the best way to celebrate the union of two individuals in holy matrimony is with an array of silly, useless products. Yay capitalism!

Whether it’s with auctioning off a slice of year-old wedding cake, or shilling commemorative mugs (that commemorate the wrong Prince unfortunately), there’s no shortage of ways that companies are cashing in on the royal duo’s wedding anniversary. And just think, we have dozens more anniversaries to come just like this…

So, without further ado, click through for a round up of the best and wackiest Royal Wedding Anniversary products out there.

Kate Middleton and Prince William’s Matchy-Matchy Style Evolution

This weekend marks the one year anniversary of the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Remember that one? Sarah Burton gown, lots of weird fascinators, maid of honor’s spectacular ass? Well, according to reports, the happy (not-yet-pregnant) couple reportedly will celebrate quietly, because unlike their respective siblings, these two don’t really party much. Maybe they’ll just rent a movie and lie around in matching bathrobes.

Which is something they would totally do, and we have the photographic evidence to prove it.

Fashion News Roundup: Final Fashion Week Dates Announced, a Brunette Crystal Renn Covers Vogue Mexico, and Natalia Vodianova Says Skinny is Better Than Fat

Catwalk Catfight is Over: After plenty of drama, the CFDA and the BFC have confirmed fashion week dates for the next three years that have left all parties happy(ish). Through September of 2014, NYFW will start the first Thursday of September instead of the second, allowing all other fashion weeks free from conflict of dates. {WWD, sub. req.}

Crystal Renn Covers Vogue Mexico: Proving she looks hot in any hair color, Renn covers the May issue of Vogue Mexico pre-bleaching. We’re big fans of the Ferragamo spring 2012 dress they shot, which feels so perfectly summery. {TFS}

Runaway Royals: Prince Harry attended this year’s London Marathon, where he told the BBC that he had been trying to get a place “for years.” And if it’s up to Harry, he won’t be doing it alone: “What’s fantastic is that my brother and his wife will be doing it next year, I think… He’s going to have to now, isn’t he?” Clarence House denies that Wills and Kate have plans to run – for now, anyway.{Vogue UK}

Kate Middleton’s Creepily Accurate Madame Tussauds Wax Figures Feature Four of Her Most Memorable Outfits

It was announced late last year that Kate Middleton would get the wax figure treatment via Madam Tussauds, but we didn’t know she’d get several of them. Then again, how could they have picked just one outfit?? Wax versions of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were unveiled today in London and Amsterdam. While the Read more →

A Look Back at the 10 Most Fashionable Weddings of 2011

This was a banner year for weddings. We can’t imagine that 2012 could possibly top it. From the three big K’s (Kate, Kate, and Kim) to a few less-hyped but nonetheless gorgeous nuptials, it really was an amazing year for tying the knot. And at least 9 of the 10 featured here are still married. Hooray for love!

Aww, Prince William and Kate Middleton Get All Matchy-Matchy

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are looking like they need a few days of rest. After their whirlwind North American jaunt and Zara Phillips’ recent wedding, they recently took a stroll in Holyrood Park. The press reported that the couple flew coach home from the wedding, which–let’s face it–can make anyone look a bit stressed out.

But look at their matching purple sweaters. And the collars of their button-downs poking out just-so. Planned?

Kate Middleton Wore Whistles on her Last Day in the US

Kate Middleton Wore Whistles on her Last Day in the US

We feel slightly superficial reporting on Kate Middleton‘s last US outfit, since she wore it while visiting impoverished children at the Inner-City Arts Center in LA. But, we’re nothing if not thorough when it comes to Kate’s looks so…she looked fresh and proper in a navy crocheted top and white knife-pleated skirt from UK high street store Whistles. She also wore navy suede pumps. Her hair was in her second favorite hairstyle, the half updo.

Kate Middleton Wears Jenny Packham at a Polo Match and Formal Alexander McQueen in Hollywood

Kate Middleton Wears Jenny Packham at a Polo Match and Formal Alexander McQueen in Hollywood

The royal couple’s whirlwind weekend in California continued yesterday as Kate and William hit up a charity polo match (where tickets went for $4,000 and Giada De Laurentiis cooked the lunch.) She wore new fave designer Jenny Packham AGAIN–quite a lovely pale lilac dress with a floral print. Two elements of her outfit that sort of shocked us? We thought for sure she’d be sporting a hat for polo, but she let her wavy hair take center stage. And look at her feet: sandals! Yes, they’re nude, but they have a criss-cross strap and a respectable heel height. We’re calling this progress.

Kate Middleton is Officially in the US! See Three New Outfits, Plus David Beckham

Fellow citizens of the United States: it’s finally happened. The royal couple is here! Kate and William left Canada yesterday afternoon after a quick stop at the ENMAX Conservatory at the Calgary Zoo, Botanical Garden and Prehistoric Park. She wore a scarlet Catherine Walker “Marianne” coat dress, made of lightweight wool with a full skirt. Kate accessorized with the Queen’s diamond maple leaf brooch (also seen on her now infamous “Canada Day” outfit.) And the shoes? You guessed it! Nude LK Bennett platform pumps–the style is called the Sledge2 in case you’re interested in tracking some down.
