She thinks they're silly, but "if it makes the kids happy."

The Fashion Group International's 30th annual Night of Stars gala happened last night in New York and, well... it was exactly what is says on the tin. Everyone from Miley Cyrus to Alexa Chung, Sofia Coppola to Kate Upton, and even Aretha Franklin put on the glitz for the event--though some clearly found a bit more sartorial success than others.

For those of us with the fleeting advantages of youth still on our side, trying new beauty trends is as easy as watching a YouTube tutorial and popping down to your local Sephora. But for those of us who've had the privilege of enjoying life a little longer, makeup doesn't always seem so user-friendly. We consulted two beauty professionals experienced in making up some of the world's most gorgeous women: Hollywood makeup artist Elaine Offers, who counts Helen Mirren, Julianne Moore, and Ellen Degeneres among her celebrity clients, and MAC Cosmetics senior artist Neil Young, who worked with legendary style icon Iris Apfel on her collaboration for the brand. Read on for their tips!

John Malkovich is partnering with Yoox for a capsule under his Technobohemian menswear label. Seriously. {WWD} Cartier is (unsurprisingly) less-than-happy about the unauthorized line of beanies that turned their name into something naughtier.

Lean in real close and you might catch a glimpse of Jessica's brand new wedding ring behind that massive engagement rock. No word yet on who designed the dress. {E!} Kris Jenner can now join her daughters in the nip slip hall of fame. {HuffPo}

Iris Apfel and other Advanced Style street style stars went on Today to talk to Matt Lauer about staying stylish and not wearing "widows' weeds."

Can you think of anything better than Iris Apfel wearing (and somehow totally pulling off) Rei Kawakubo’s 2D Comme des Garçons collection on Dazed & Confused? Neither can we.

Following the success of the first installment, H&M has released a second round of ads featuring Lana Del Rey. {Elle UK} Marion Cotillard was the first celebrity lucky enough to wear Raf Simons' debut Dior couture collection and now she's also the first celeb to wear his latest ready-to-wear collection. It's a black dress and she looks stunning. Lucky girl. {Vogue UK} Between the questionable skorts suit and this very see-through skirt, Kim Kardashian might consider firing her stylist. Alas, it's not that simple when you're dating him. {HuffPo}
