For the world premiere of ARTPOP in Berlin, Lady Gaga has so far donned a furry chicken/moldy cheese mask, bared her unicorn-tattooed thigh, dressed like a sexy Salvador Dali (mustache included), and gone barefoot in a fluffy ghost-like sheath earlier this morning. We ask ourselves, how much Gaga is too much Gaga? {Daily Mail} Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen just bought an apartment in One Madison Park for a cool $14 million. It's on the 47th floor, so you'll need a NASA-issued telescope if they're hoping to catch a glimpse of the genetically gifted fam. (Not that we condone that...) {Page Six} Prince George's official christening photos have been released and there are quite a lot of fancy hats involved. {CBS}
Since everyone loves an awards show, I decided to bestow all the most notable looks with completely made up awards. From "Best Neck Makeup" to "Best Giant Cornrow," no detail was left unrewarded. Click through to see the most original and innovative beauty from the spring 2014 shows.
Sunday may be a day of rest for most people, but during fashion week, we're still out and snapping all the cool stuff we see. From a late night Nicki Minaj spotting at Alexander Wang's after party to um, naked people (really!) outside of DKNY, we saw some pretty mind-blowing stuff. Check out everything we saw on day four.
If anyone has the power to elevate the ordinary, to make the mundane chic, it's superstar stylist Carine Roitfeld. This is the woman who styled a $9.50 disposable painter's jumpsuit from The Home Depot seven different ways for a striking editorial. The next throwaway item Miss Roitfeld is declaring chic?

OpenSky, the e-commerce start-up that allows you to follow celebs and industry professionals (who recommend their favorite products to purchase, often at a discount), just launched a beauty section. Beauty industry heavyweights like celeb makeup artist Pati Dubroff, dermatologists Dr. Neal Schultz and Dr. Fredric Brandt, and hair guru Orlando Pita--among many others--are offering up their favorite products and even created video tutorials on the site. We got the opportunity to chat with Orlando Pita about his favorite products (check out his OpenSky page here), and then proceeded to ask him about every hair quandary that has ever come up in the Fashionista office. Read on for words of wisdom about how to get the elusive beachy wave (hint: change how you think about "salt sprays"), how the heck you're supposed to use dry shampoo and more.
How we use beauty products and services is so psychologically driven. Women are always looking for that magic bullet for whatever perceived imperfection they’re trying to “fix.” And there’s definitely an often unspoken assumption that if something is expensive, then it’s better or more efficacious.
