It's day five of fashion week and we finally spotted it--the mythical cronut. Of course, that's not all we saw: From celebs like Rita Ora and Olivia Palermo, to amazing clothes, here's everything we saw on day five on fashion week:

A couple of teeny earrings are causing a big controversy. Gisele Bündchen bears the brunt of Middle America's rage over her baby daughter's pierced ears--how young is too young to visit the Piercing Pagoda? {HuffPo Canada} Happy Anniversary, Francisco Costa! This year marks the creative director's 10th anniversary with Calvin Klein, and he's got some major celebration plans for Fashion Week... {Elle UK} Rihanna reportedly has a phone on which only BFF Cara Delevingne and her mom can reach her, and she uses it to confide her fears that her career is reaching an expiration date. (Does this remind anyone else of Spencer Pratt's "Bro Phone" and "Girlfriend Phone"?) {Entertainment Wise via The Sun} As for Cara's maybe ex-BFF, DKNY tapped Rita Ora for its resort campaign (ousting the brand's fall face, Ms. Delevingne herself). {Vogue UK}

Jersey Shore might be over, but that apparently doesn't mean seeing any less of J.Woww: The MTV star flashed a bit too much of herself at the network's New Year's show. {HuffPo} On Tumblr, 23-year-old Zara employee Francis Phommisai combines fashion editorials with Pokémon--and the results are kind of amazing. {Daily Beast} Crystal Harris finally wed her Playboy honey Hugh Hefner in a pink gown, which makes us wonder if this trend is finally over. {US Weekly} Meghan Collison goes under the sea for Mulberry’s spring campaign, shot by Tim Walker. {WWD}

A few weeks ago, WWD reported that Jessica Chastain had nabbed Vanity Fair's coveted September cover. Well, turns out it was only half right. Chasta

The controversy over Ralph Lauren's Chinese-produced Team USA uniforms has raised a bigger question in the fashion community: Is making affordable clothing in America a feasible option for any designer? That was the hot issue for some of the designers and fashion personalities who attended the Project Runway 10th Anniversary Party held in Chelsea last night--and while most agreed that the Team USA uni production ideally should've happened domestically, the empathetic laments about the cost (and feasibility) of producing locally proved to be a common thread. Alice + Olivia designer Stacey Bendet touched on Lauren (whom she called "pretty friggin' awesome") being unfairly singled out for this "misshap"

It's CFDA Awards day! The Met Ball may be a fashion spectacle of epic proportions, but the CFDA awards is really about the people that make the fashio

The fashion industry gets a bad rap for, well, not eating enough (except for macarons), so Magnum ice cream's love affair with fashion always seemed
