Olympics

The Olympics start this weekend, so it's time to start getting to know the athletes before they don their Ralph Lauren patchwork sweaters.

Need more motivation to bring home the gold? You get to wear one of these sweet uniforms.

Here's what the US Olympic snowboarding team will be wearing next year. It's cooler than we expected, but could have been even cooler.

Aren't you itching to dress your little bundle of joy in a $1,200 tulle dress? Jean Paul Gaultier debuted a kiddie couture line for spring 2014, inspired by his couture pieces for adults. {Daily Mail} The Italian National Olympics Committee announces it will continue its partnership with Giorgio Armani, who dressed the Italian team at the London 2012 games. Not to be overly patriotic, but Ralph Lauren for Team USA is much cuter. {WWD} If you can afford a Louis Vuitton slip, Carine Roitfeld will show you seven ways to wear it! {CR Fashion Book}

Nothing says high fashion like peeing in a cup whilst Anna Wintour schmoozes nearby, right?

Her four inch Louboutins prevented her from doing any tumbling passes down the runway, but Gabby Douglas still drew the biggest cheers at last night’s Heart Truth Red Dress runway show. I spied Douglas’s megawatt smile in the backstage pre-show chaos and grabbed a few minutes with her while she getting her nails painted. Punctuating her speech with “Oh my gosh”-es and excited giggles, she told me her thoughts on nail art, Ben Affleck, and dismissing that whole Olympics hair controversy once and for all.

Is Kate Middleton finally getting out of her sartorial comfort zone? We've come to expect a certain fashion formula when it comes to the Duchess (simple frocks, loose curls in her hair), but from the looks of last night's event, a reception for the Team GB Olympic and Paralympic medalists at Buckingham Palace, K.Midd is starting to mix it up a bit.

We've already stalked hung out with Olympic gold medalist (and aspiring fashion designer) Ryan Lochte this week, and yesterday we spotted yet another Olympic star with fashion leanings: Track champion Sanya Richards-Ross. We chatted with Richards-Ross about her plans to get into the fashion business, how Kerry Washington admires her style, and (of course) that hair.

You Didn't Have to Cut It Off: It was the snip heard 'round the world - Miley's bun is no more, effectively killing the Miley's Bun Twitter account.

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}

Janna Ryan, wife to newly named VP candidate Paul Ryan, might be taking a page from MObama's book, choosing to wear a $70 Kohl's dress this past weekend. {HuffPo} Kristen Stewart's absence from a recent Balenciaga Florabotanica video concerned many - had she been given the axe due to her fling with married director Rupert Sanders? No worries: unlike us, it appears Balenciaga doesn't really care about the issue. {The Cut} Tyra Banks has learned to make GIFs. This could be the best thing to happen to the internet. {BuzzFeed}

When the Spice Girls took to the stage last night at the Olympic Closing Ceremonies, it was a moment that many of us (well, me, at least) had been wa

It's been the most amazing two weeks of Olympics--our women's gymnastics team took gold, Michael Phelps became the most decorated Olympian in history.

While the Spice Girls have yet to officially confirm whether or not they'll be performing at the Olympics Closing Ceremony, images of them rehearsing

So you've heard about this guy Ryan Lochte, right? You know the gold medal winning Olympian who accepted his gold medal wearing a grill? And loves say

When athletes compete at the Olympics, their countries' uniforms serve to unite the whole team, provide some visual continuity, and of course make it

Is Rihanna too sexy to front Nivea campaigns? New CEO Stefan Heidenreich seems to think so, telling a German newspaper she is a "no go" (whatever that means). {HuffPo} Gisele has still not confirmed her pregnancy, which is obviously her prerogative, but it really leaves the door open for everyone to make "food baby" jokes. {The Cut} Rumor has it Lindsay Lohan has nabbed her next gig - a Lady Gaga video for a forthcoming single from her new album ARTPOP. {NYPost}

Kate Middleton has been all over London supporting her country's athletes at the Olympics, but earlier this week she broke ranks with Team GB and, in

At the Olympics, it's gymnastics-- the leotards, the hair, and the makeup--that seems to get all the style attention. And it's not hard to see why--I
