The Carrie Diaries has cast its young Samantha Jones--and judging by the actress's photo, they've already done a better job than casting Carrie, in the physical sense, anyway--no offense to AnnaSophia Robb, but we all know she doesn't look like Sarah Jessica Parker in the slightest. {E! Online} Abbey Lee Kershaw continues her triumphant modeling comeback in shiny animal skins for Gucci's Fall 2013 campaign. {Fashion Gone Rogue} Expect to see a lot more bright yellow in shopping areas near you--Kate Spade Saturday is planning a huge expansion (and will probably surpass big sister, regular Kate Spade). {WWD, subscription required} Acting out the fantasy of broke people everywhere, Maxine Hargreaves-Adams has swooped in to save UK brand Nicole Farhi from administration. {Vogue UK}

Magic Mike opens today. Maybe you've heard of this male stripper flick starring the gleaming pecs and chiseled abs of Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, Alex Pettyfer, Matt Bomer and Joe Manganiello that every media outlet--us included--can't get enough of? And, maybe, you are, like us, unabashedly excited to go see it, ASAP? Hopefully you are. Because to whet your whistle, we've rounded up fashion's own 'Magic Mikes'--the nearly naked male models strutting the runways right now in Paris. And while the Paris men's shows are only halfway done, these specimens of male perfection have already graced the runways of London and Milan, oftentimes wearing very little. The beginning of Versace's spring show and maybe all of Frankie Morello's are essentially strip-club ready. Have a look. Happy Friday and you're welcome.

Fashion Week

Besides being an incubator for original fashion, London designers are also not afraid to work a LOOK on their models, making for the best beauty-ogling of all the fashion weeks. From Vivienne Westwood (at left), who is not afraid of, well, anything, to more subtle yet never boring looks, we loved the beauty in London. This is all about the drama. You need a certain amount of self-confidence to pull many of these off, but we encourage you to try! Click through for our 10 favorite looks from London.
