1. Since Angelea has been André's fave all season, and André gets what he wants, is it safe to say she's a shoo-in? 2. Is it possible to be too sad to be a Covergirl? See: Allison. 3. Couldn’t you kinda see Lisa as a used car salesman, though? 4. Is Allison an elf? It would explain why she can’t open her eyes and does that happy little wiggle dance. And the flowing perfect hair.
1. Lisa, don’t you think there’s a reason you’ve been modeling since age 12 and still aren’t famous? 2. Wonder how these girls feel about "real blogger" action? Better than "fake" blogger? Or just modeling? 3. Does anyone else find Laura’s accent super endearing? 4. Did these girls really not know Tyra had a book out until now?

Daphne Guinness is one of the industry's favorite eccentrics, known for sporting towering heel-less platforms and skunk hair way before Gaga, and a wardrobe so outrageous it earned its own FIT exhibit. Though her status means she can drop millions on McQueen or use the windows of Barneys as a dressing room, the heiress is actually a little shy. In an unusual burst of publicity, the internet popped out three interviews with Guinness today, including photos of her topless in Interview magazine. Click through to see which items have given her buyers' remorse, the hazards of trying to be ironic in print, and how current fashion is "feeding on a cadaver:"
When I started getting into nail art, I REALLY got into nail art. Like stayed up until 3am poring over Tumblrs and blogs, eventually landing on archives from the Tokyo Nail Exposition--an annual event in Japan where nail techs turn out mural-like talons and glue anything from pearls and rhinestones to mini plastic Hello Kittys on nails. I decided I, too, needed to have bizarre shapes glued on my fingertips. Flat was not enough. It was time to go 3D. Envisioning bedazzled, Harajuku-type bows artfully dotted across my nails, I ordered a sets of rhinestones and various colored pearls, flowers and bows, that came with their own bottles of nail glue (which would soon prove my demise). However, my ambitions were greater than my abilities and the first attempt was a disaster.
Karlie Kloss Covers Deutsch Vogue: This cover is fantastic. Contoured makeup and a one-shoulder dress are right on the money. Karlie is the best. {The Fashion Spot} Filipa Fino Is Launching A Free Online Accessories Mag: The longtime Vogue accessories editor retired in June but kept her next move quiet until now; she's launching a free online accessories magazine called Fino File in February.

The backstage of fashion shows are usually a hot hectic mess. But not Victoria's Secret. When you have the budget to put on a $12 runway show, backstage is pretty swank. As in, there was a carving station. And models actually eat from it. The models wear very short pink silk robes while extensions and hair spray and bronzer and shimmering make up is applied in heaps. But they're all smiles throughout. These girls are having fun. Our street style photog Ashley was there to capture the magic that is Victoria's Secret backstage. Highlights included Kanye making an appearance and chatting with Alessandra Ambrosio, and Adriana Lima posing for an impromptu lingerie shoot on top of a table. Check it out.
1. Can we place bets now that Shannon goes home because she won’t take her clothes off? (again?) 2. Is anyone else reading André’s live tweets? I quote: “Does Jay Emanuel have a special hairspray to keep that hair straight up. It never moves. Top Model creative Wow.” Yes, André. Yes. 3. Have you ever seen anything more appropriate than models posing in a bowl of salad? 4. Is it just me or are those bathing suits really fugly? 5. Has the word “dragalicious” really been uttered twice already? It’s not even halfway through the episode. #WordAbuse
The annual Victoria's Secret fashion show taped last night, and though you'll have to wait until November 29 to see the Angels walk the runway (as well as Nicki Minaj, Kanye and Jay-Z's live performances!), you can check out every look from the show right now. We've got all the outfits, from Miranda Kerr's $2.5 million bra to Alessandra Ambrosio's ballerina shoes to first-time VS walker Karlie Kloss' disco-ball butt. Click through our gallery to see the spectacle in its entirety. Which look is your favorite?
Last week, we unearthed a photo of Chloe Sevigny dressed as Terry Richardson on the cover of Candy magazine. Richardson just posted his own behind-the-scenes video of the shoot on his blog and... well, this is what apparently went on. Chloe Sevigny, dressed as Terry Richardson, making out with identically dressed real Terry Richardson. While we thought the magazine cover was pretty funny this... this is just icky.
Though Hayden Panettiere's rococo-print Tibi dress was a hit at last night's MTV Europe Music Awards, her moment was completely interrupted by, oh,
The MTV Europe Music Awards were last night and, to be honest, it was such a spectacle that it's almost impossible to do a "best dressed" list. Looking through the photos, it seemed most attendants dressed more for a night of raving in some Euro-disco club than a red carpet. There were minor highlights--such as every one of Selena Gomez' eight outfit changes--but it's mostly just a parade of insanity. Click through to see the best of the EMA's awesomely bad shenanigans.

1. Wait, I recognize that staircase… is this the same house from Flavor of Love?? 2. Alexandria, other than like, sushi at Nobu, what masterpiece is made in 20 minutes? 3. Is “pop ledem” like booty tooch? Is this like ANTM mind control? 4. Tyra, how many schoolgirls did you scalp for those pigtails? 5. Anyone else see Game seriously feelin’ Allison?

When you think sports apparel, you're probably not imagining citrus tie-dye hues or a track jacket on top a flirty dress. Yet somehow, a bunch of sp
For next month's cover of Vogue Italia, Steven Meisel shot Raquel Zimmermann in a crowd of suits, slightly jostled but holding her own on what is meant to be the A-train. We think this is the only time the MTA has ever been stylish. The accompanying editorial is appropriately titled "The Commute" and features Zimmermann as various incarnations of NYC girls, all of whom we've seen on the subway before (albeit in much lower-priced versions of Zimmermann's looks). Check out the gallery to see the entire 14-page spread. What's your favorite NYC style?
OPI's spring colors are inspired by the Netherlands. The color range draws from the country's famed tulip fields to, um, smoked fish and clogs. The colors are great but the names are even better. There's "I Have a Herring Problem" (a stormy grey), "Wooden Shoe Like To Know" (a reddish hue, obvs), "Vampsterdam" (a deep grape), "A Roll in the Hague" (a bold pumpkin shade), "Peddle Faster Suzi" (it's bicycle bubblegum pink), and the barely-there green "Thanks A WindMillion." Check out the individual images below. Which ones are you setting your sights on for February?
Marc Jacobs Is Going To Be In A Movie: Marc Jacobs let a little secret slip at the WSJ Innovator of the Year Awards this weekend: "I got cast in a role in a movie," he told Style.com.

Wonder what movie it is? {WWD} Missed Connection From the YSL Sample Sale: Whoever was wearing purple pants and had a bunch of shoes was apparently the "prettiest girl" at the YSL sample sale last week; the mystery woman inspired a missed connection that fills me with jealousy for this man who is both sentimental and a fan of YSL. {Racked} Pippa Middleton Might Be Writing A Book On Party Planning: Pippa apparently organized her sister's April wedding reception and frequently works for her parents party planning business, and is reportedly meeting with publishing houses to work out a party planning book deal.

1. Why is this show all of a sudden so concerned with branding girls who aren't actual models yet? No one wants a perfume made by someone who was almost a Top Model. 2. How does Allison still manage to come off as an adorable little doll even after naming her perfume “Honey Blood”? 3. Is that Eva, the ex-Top Model, or Eve, the rapper? 4. Is Lisa drunk? 5. Is anyone else a little turned on by Nigel frolicking in a bathtub yelling “I’m smitten”?
