Celebrate Independence Day with the most fashionable women in the USA.

The always-candid supermodel talks scoring the first-ever exclusive beauty contract and why modeling is so different now.

Pretty much the entire fashion universe and a good chunk of A-list celebs turned out to support and celebrate Mr. Armani last night at his "One Night Only" even in New York City.

Recently I was on vacation with my boyfriend's extended family at the beach in North Carolina. We were discussing their various dads' beach style prowess when his cousin said "Well, I'm just glad my dad's not wearing a bucket hat today. I told him that was a no-go." Little did she know, hundreds of miles away in New York, bucket hats are actually cool again.

Over the past 50 years, the U.S. population has become increasingly diverse: According to the most recent census, 36% of the American population now identifies as non-Caucasian--that's in comparison to just 16% in 1970. The idea of what it means to be American and to look American this July 4, 2013, is vastly different than the July 4ths of half a century ago. So how has this changed the American beauty ideals, and, by default, the American modeling industry?

Some brands, when trying to project a cooler image, tap someone young and hip for their ad campaigns. Lucky, on the other hand, went with iconic 69-year-old supermodel Lauren Hutton, thereby, we think, coming out on top in the cool arena.

If anyone deserves the honorific of "icon," it is model/actress Lauren Hutton. She also swears like a truck driver and is super opinionated. What's not to love? The 69-year-old model is featured in this week's issue of Net-a-Porter's magazine The Edit, and she sounds off on everything from protecting Kate Moss from other meanie super models to using her shoe as a weapon.

In it, she rides a bike through the woods and frolics on the beach. Is it vaca time again yet? {HuffPo}

Last year we crunched the numbers to find out about the average Vogue cover. How old was the average cover subject? Where did they come from? What were they wearing? Who photographed them? All very important questions, indeed. So much so, that we thought they needed to be asked again.

On the one hand, it does look a bit like a '90s Gap ad and we're sure Fashion Spot commenters are complaining about Alt's lackluster styling. But on the other hand, it's kind of amazing. Alt chose a great cast of gals who look awesome together, photographed beautifully by Inez & Vinoodh, and the simple outfits definitely highlight each woman's beauty.

This year marks the 120th anniversary of Vogue's first-ever issue. Crazy, right? It doesn't look a day over 15! (Kidding, 16. Hello, health initiative
