We haven't tried David Beckham's new fragrance yet, but if it brings us even a fraction of the joy we feel seeing him shirtless in the advertisement... we'll take it. {Daily Mail} Karl Lagerfeld says he'll do "anything" for Cate Blanchett--including designing her last minute costumes for her new Woody Allen-directed film. {Grazia} Caroline Kennedy has been nominated to be the first female U.S. ambassador to Japan, and as such is now poised to become a style influencer. Start preparing for some serious sartorial competition, Mrs. Obama. {WWD} Apparently the town crier who announced shouted the news of the birth of HRH Prince George had absolutely no royal affiliation, apart from just being obsessed with the royals. Hey, we love them too, but we don't take it that far. {Daily Mail}

Tonight is the big premiere of The Carrie Diaries, the CW show that aims to tell the back story of New York's favorite fictional sex columnist Carrie Bradshaw as young girl who apparently grew up in the Connecticut 'burbs. With Gossip Girl star stylist Eric Daman on board to provide the beginnings of Carrie's theatrical, over-the-top style, we have high hopes for the 80s-inspired clothing that young Carrie as played by AnnaSophia Robb will wear. But as on-point as we're sure the new show's wardrobe will be, we're having a hard time envisioning us trying to cop a 1980s teenager's style--even if she is Carrie Bradshaw. So we thought we'd reminisce about the amazing outfits of OG CB, played to iconic perfection by Sarah Jessica Parker--and recreate them for all you modern-day Carries out there. Let's be honest: Sex and the City might have been a story about a woman and her soul mates (and the men along the way), but her closet definitely deserved top billing. From being mugged for her Manolos to passing out at the opera, here are our top ten Carrie Bradshaw style moments, and where to get 'em for yourself. Don't forget to check out The Carrie Diaries tonight on the CW (if you're not too busy watching The Bachelor, which is sadly airing in the same time slot. Damn you, basic cable!).

We caught up with Carrie Diaries costume designer Eric Daman on what we can expect from the new series's take on style icon Carrie Bradshaw--from 80s fashion to bra straps.

Because here's what David bought you for Christmas. {WWD} JK! Kim Kardashian's new bangs are fake. {UsWeekly} We're currently convulsing over the new trailer for The Great Gatsby. Is it May yet? {Refinery29} And here are some awesome Great Gatsby cast posters. We're excited, ok? {Vogue UK}

It's official: The series finale of Gossip Girl is a mere eleven episodes away. While many a cynic may argue that the show actually ended sometime during the second season, for us die-hard Upper East Side wannabes, this news is harder hitting than a Nairtini to the head. Of course, what we'll miss most of all is the fashion. Gossip Girl has been on top of the fashion game since its first "XOXO" way back in early 2007, and as the series progressed, the characters' signature styles arguably surpassed the plot development in terms of critical praise. Between Blair's preppy headbands, Chuck's dandy suits, and Serena's gravity-defying cleavage, the influence the kids of Constance have had on street style and fashion spreads alike is undeniable. So, as a tearful ode to our favorite CW soap, here's a look back at some of the style stand-outs that have made the last five years of impossible-to-follow plot lines a little more bearable.

H&M is unveiling a new and improved "Statue of David" - that's right, Becks will be immortalized in three 10 ft high statues as part of the second David Beckham bodywear campaign. We hope Victoria gets to keep one. {WWD} Eric Daman, the man behind the amazing style on Gossip Girl, talks about his rise from hot male model to celebrated costume designer. {HuffPo} The center of a lot of (really unnecessary) drama at this summer's Olympics was gold medalist (!!) Gabby Douglas's hair. Hair haters can chill out now; celebrity hair stylist Ted Gibson will be taking over Gabby's mane. {Daily Beast}

FLORENCE--Last night Ferragamo celebrated the opening of a new exhibition devoted to all things Marilyn Monroe at the Museo Salvatore Ferragamo in Florence. Ferragamo's exhibit comes at the tail end of a resurgence of interest in all things Marilyn kicked off by My Week With Marilyn and buoyed by the release of never before seen photos. This latest manifestation of Marilyn will surely keep interest piqued. Ferragamo got his start in Hollywood as a shoe designer to the stars, Marilyn being one of them, so the photos, costumes, shoes, and artifacts on display (like a custom order for Monroe's shoes, or her appointment book) are impressive. But more on that later. Ferragamo got his start with the stars so it was fitting that the brand wrangled a few for last night's opening. The label has cleverly taken an interest in AnnaSophia Robb, aka young Carrie Bradshaw. Nineteen-year-old Robb is no stranger to the spotlight--she's been acting for years--but she's never been in the fashion spotlight before. And she's about to be in a big way, as The Carrie Diaries has been picked up by the CW with Gossip Girl's Eric Daman doing the costumes. We chatted with the starlet about how it feels to be filling those big Manolos.

The CW has released a few more promotional photos from The Carrie Diaries now that it has been officially picked up. And it looks like costume designe
