Pride Style From Around the World

Last weekend, revelers all over the world gathered for parades and partying on the street in celebration of Pride Week. With the recent DOMA repeal behind us here in the States, the festivities were bright (duh) and the outfits were brighter. From Istanbul to San Francisco to Panama City, thousands of bodies marched and danced wrapped in shiny lamé, covered in feathers, and adorned with face paint. We gathered some of the wackiest looks from the festivities, including humongous Golden Girls heads with 'fro picks, a Lady Gaga-esque rotary phone headpiece, and some sort of clown crying tears of string (or are they really long eyelashes?). Let's just say that if your pride is proportional to your costume, these folks might be the proudest of them all.

This past weekend, revelers all over the world gathered on the street in celebration of Pride Week. With the recent DOMA repeal behind us here in the States, the festivities were especially bright (duh) and the outfits even brighter. From Istanbul to San Francisco to Panama City, thousands of bodies marched and danced wrapped in shiny lamé, covered in feathers, and adorned with face paint.

We gathered some of the standout looks from the festivities, including humongous Golden Girls heads with 'fro picks, a Lady Gaga-esque rotary phone headpiece, and a Pope and sexy schoolgirl.

Let's just say that if your pride is proportional to your costume, these folks might be the proudest of them all.

Disco Isn't Dead: From Madonna to Beyoncé, Donna Summer's Style Lives On

We were saddened to hear today about the passing of Donna Summer, who lost her battle to lung cancer today at the age of 63. Summer moved us (both physically and emotionally) with her strong, sultry vocals, smoldering stage presence, and of course, her unabashedly glamorous look. Not only did her voice define a genre, but her style set the standard for divas to come. You don't have to look far to see traces of Donna's style in some of our most beloved stars today. So, to honor of the late Queen of Disco, here is a tribute to the continued legacy she left on fashion. From Lady Gaga to Toni Braxton, click through to see Donna's style influence.

Street Style: Gaga's Little Monsters Edition

Lady Gaga is playing three nights at Madison Square Garden in New York City. And last night, I was there. No matter what you think of her music, her style, or her need for attention, she definitely inspires people. I was a bit disappointed in Gaga's costumes--no wigs or interesting millinery, just that yellow hair with three inch dark roots. But she’s an amazing performer and I'm both deaf and hoarse today from all the screaming and singing. I took Fashionista's street style camera along for the ride, focusing on Gaga’s exuberant and loyal fans. Wigs, lightning bolts, cigarette glasses, and a severe lack of pants were de rigueur for both boys and girls. And while some honored her with literal translations of past looks, others used her style as an inspiration to dress in...yellow tape. Click through the slide show for a glimpse of the lengths to which people will go to show their admiration for Gaga. (OK, secretly I was wishing I, too had a pink wig.)
