That Story About Lady Gaga Returning a Gown With Semen On It? Not as Crazy as You’d Think

So yesterday the New York Post ran this story, “Red Carpet Lending Nightmares,” detailing the distressed condition designer gowns are returned in after they’ve been worn by a celebrity on the red carpet.

The most salacious story? An anonymous PR told the tab that Lady Gaga returned a Mugler gown with what looked like a semen stain on it. “It was so disgusting,” she said. “I couldn’t even tell you.”

After polling various PRs who lend out designer dresses to celebrities on the regular, we’re not at all surprised by this story.

How to Copy the Original Carrie Bradshaw’s Style, Pre-Inauguration Fashion News, and Everything Golden Globes
Week In Review

How to Copy the Original Carrie Bradshaw’s Style, Pre-Inauguration Fashion News, and Everything Golden Globes

When Life Gives You a Crash, Make Crashionista: After some technical issues with the site this week, we made a temporary blog to house all of our fashion news.

Carrie Bradshaw is Back: To celebrate the premiere of The Carrie Diaries, we compiled the original Carrie’s most iconic looks, and showed you how to recreate them in a modern way.

Obama Inauguration Style: With the big day fast approaching, we picked the 10 up-and-coming designers we’d like to see the FLOTUS wearing this term, but our prediction for her outfit on Monday is more succinct: A repeat. Of course, we can’t forget about the Obama girls, who are getting more attention for their style choices these days. And in more immediate news, Michelle Obama made a big change by cutting bangs for her birthday this week.

Celebrity Stylist Jessica Paster Thinks Young Designers Are Too Snobby About Which Actresses Wear Their Clothes on the Red Carpet

Jessica Paster is an old school celebrity stylist. Old school meaning she was doing this when Rachel Zoe was still an editor at YM. How about them apples?

With a client list that currently includes Emily Blunt and Miranda Kerr, the stylist and JustFab chief stylist certainly made a mark on Sunday night’s Golden Globes red carpet. And she’s already working on the Oscars. We chatted with Paster yesterday about who looked good—and who didn’t—at the Globes, and why you don’t see cool young designers represented on the red carpet.

We Hear All the Vogue Girls Have to Wear Pink to the Met Ball, So What Should They Wear?

A little birdie told us there will be some girly outfit coordination going on at this year’s Costume Institute Gala, which is less than two weeks away. The Vogue-hosted event will celebrate the opening of “Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations” at the Met and we hear the hostesses–namely, Vogue editors, will be paying a little tribute to one of the exhibition’s subjects by following a strict dress code: they all have to wear pink.

Taylor Jacobson on Her Return to Reality Television and Whether She’s Patched Things Up With Rachel Zoe and Brad

As much as we loved Brad’s cute little bowties and Jeremiah’s cute little tuchus lighting up our lives every week on The Rachel Zoe Project, things just weren’t quite the same following the untimely and unpleasant departure of Rachel’s first on-screen assistant, Taylor Jacobson. Even though she often came off as being a bit (to put it nicely) short, she certainly started out the series with arguably more stylist cred and experience than either of her successors. And everyone knows how frustrating it can be explaining the job you’ve been doing expertly for a while to a total newbie (well, sort of newbie…we love you Brad!).

But after several years away from an ever present camera crew, Taylor’s getting back into the reality tv game with a new series premiering soon on Oxygen called LA Style.
