When Beyoncé unveiled her latest in fragrance this week, she seemed to put on quite the show. This wasn’t your average opening. All of the press were “led through a maze of precariously dark hallways into a pool-turned-auditorium” to meet the fragrance’s major players.
As for “Beyoncé Heat,” it’s a fruity mix of almond and floral. It’s supposed to “[make women] feel strong,” says the singer.
I really had no idea that celebrities got paid to sit front row at Fashion Week! You’d think that it was more pleasure then business for them, but I guess I was way wrong, getting photographed at the tents IS just as publicity worthy as a club opening! Here is a list of famous people and how much they get paid to attend:
A-List:
Rihanna ($100,000 or more)
Beyonce ($80,000-$100,000)
Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen ($80,000 each)
Julianne Moore ($60,000)
Maggie Gyllanhaal ($60,000)
Chloe Sevigny ($60,000 or more)
Jennifer Lopez (circa 2005: $80,000; circa 2010: $30,000)
Lindsay Lohan (circa 2006: $60,000; circa 2010: UNINVITED)
Colin Firth (pre-A Single Man: $5,000; post-A Single Man: $15,000)
Check out the B and C list after the jump… (more…)
Beyonce wore this blue Elie Saab dress last year on the Late Show with David Letterman, while Dita von Teese was recently seen at the Elie Saab show wearing the same dress.
I think they both look amazing in it, but my vote for the best goes to Dita because I love the way she accessorized it more. Her signature red lip also adds another fun color to the look.
Miss Beyonce won a record 6 awards at last nights Grammys, most won by a female artist in one night. She also had 3 costume changes, she walked the red carpet in Stephane Rolland, wore Versace for her performance, and accepted her awards in Giorgio Armani Prive.

Beyonce, who claims she no longer needs her alter ego, Sasha Fierce, is on February’s issue of Allure Mag. I love the pose, very different for a cover…
New ads for Nintendo DS Style Savvy video game features a nearly unrecognizable Beyonce. The singer/actress looks more like a statue than a human being in these shots which is an effect that was either caused by a blurry camera or a really dedicated photoshopper.
Below is our list of the hottest women of the year 2009, they are not in any order, and I don’t think any or them will surprise you, after all what’s Hot is HOT! (more…)
I have to admit; I was a bit saddened when some of my favorite collections and designers—such as Marc by Marc Jacobs and even Diane Von Furstenberg—showed pieces for Spring 2010 with heavy 80’s flash-back incorporated into them. I’ve never been a big fan of that era, so seeing shoulder pads being accepted as fashionable once again will take some getting used to.

Patterns you’ve really only seen in reruns of The Cosby Show have suddenly thrown themselves back into major fashion again, along with a kaleidoscope of colors. Beyonce even sported a dress at the MTV Video Music Awards that looked all too much like a dress Joan Collins once wore on the show Dynasty.
So, find your crimper and big, floppy bow and get ready to look like you stepped out of a classic John Hughes movie this upcoming spring.
In case you live under a rock and haven’t heard about Kanye West turning super-douche and interrupting Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the VMAs last night, here’s the video:
And here’s Kanye’s hilarious, poorly-written apology that has apparently been taken down already:
Although most of the fashion peeps we love have yet to respond (maybe they were just too busy at Fashion Week parties, or sleeping up for the next day), as have Taylor and Beyonce, here are some responses from music, entertainment, and fashion people that have tweeted what they thought of this escapade:
