And Rihanna appears to have added some septum bling to her look.

We're just about half way through New York Fashion Week, and neon orange lips have already popped up on some very major runways.

You'll soon be able to buy Marchesa at the drugstore: Revlon just announced it's collaborating with the label, best known for its over-the-top red carpet gowns, on three beauty collections that will include nail polish, lip and eye products, nail art, and beauty tools.

The last two days have been pretty colorful backstage. From Chloe Norgaard's neon hair and tons of statement lips everywhere, it's been pretty fun to look at. But don't worry, there's plenty of wearable inspiration too, in the form of Kate Moss hair and dewy skin.

Despite rumors suggesting otherwise, it seems that Brad Goreski's official resignation from the bosom of Rachel Zoe might have happened long before that September NY Times article on the bow-tied stylist.
