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.

Tom Ford on How 'Breast Implant Style' Is Taking Over the World and Why Wearing Tight Pants Helped His Career

The first-ever stand-alone menswear shows are happening in London this week, and no dapper guys' gathering is complete without an appearance by Tom Ford. And according to a tweet by Derek Blasberg, he's not afraid to offer royalty some grooming advice: Just met Prince Charles. Charming, jolly fellow. Tom Ford suggested (to him, mind you) a new cuticle cream. Its official: I'm a royalist now How exactly did that happen? Ford shook the Prince's hand, noted his cuticles were dry, then tactfully suggested the cream? Dying here. Anyway, the designer sat down with Grazia's style director Paula Reed in London for a chat, and as usual, he was pretty charming and open. Despite having just heard his entire life story when he sparred with Fern Mallis a few weeks ago, we still learned some more about his career and as usual, we love how entertaining he is. From Americans' crappy style to the power of tight pants, Tom Ford keeps it real. Click through to read the highlights and here to read the whole thing.
