"Work It Out" (2002) Beyoncé's love for the 70s and giant hair was evident from her first single and video as a solo artist. Channeling her Foxy Cleopatra character from that Citizen Kane of shitty sequels, Austin Powers in Goldmember, Bey sported a sequined shift and her never-again-seen afro.

"Crazy in Love" (2003) Bey announced her arrival to superstardom with "Crazy in Love"'s thunderous horns and her birth as a fashion icon with a series of outfits -- such as the always appropriate fur coat and a bikini -- as well as some serious posing.

"Me, Myself and I" (2004) Could always use more Bey in a bob.

"Naughty Girl" (2004) The song itself features an interpolation of Donna Summer's "Love to Love You Baby" and combined with a very Diana-esque fur shawl and a little nod to Bob Fosse's choreography -- something she would mine time and time again -- Beyoncé was getting in touch with her inner Studio 54 ...by way of the Harlem Renaissance.

"Upgrade U" (2007) While talking a mean fashion game, Bey dons an even meaner braid.

"Kitty Kat" (2007) Though the video for "Kitty Kat" was only a minute long and served really as an intro to "Green Light," how the hell can we not talk about this makeup? Following the theme of the song, Beyoncé also wears a leopard-print catsuit. It's called commitment.

"Get Me Bodied" (2007) An homage to Bob Fosse's Sweet Charity, Bey sports another memorable pony and is joined by former Destiny's Children Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland -- and -- beginning to step out of her sister's ginormous shadow -- Solange as they enter a party the only way acceptable: like a bunch of drag queens.

"Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It" (2008) The leotard worn 'round the world. Who knew such a simple concept would be the watershed moment in Beyoncé's career? Inspired once again by Fosse -- this time "Mexican Breakfast" -- but with the added touch of a Lorraine Schwartz robotic titanium glove. If Gwen Verdon had had that...let's just say Liza wouldn't be alive today.

"Diva" (2008) Just in case there were any lingering doubts, Beyoncé is a fucking diva. But for anyone questioning her female hustler status, Bey pulled some diva antics like blowing up a car of mannequins and wearing the hell out of some Gareth Pugh and vintage Thierry Mugler. Sasha Fierce was not playing around.

"Video Phone" (2009) By this point in her career, Bey had really stepped up her sartorial game, eschewing mom Tina Knowles' House of Dereon creations for haute couture. And I think we all know fellow pop queen Lady Gaga may have had a little something to do with that. The two paired up for "Video Phone" then got all Thelma & Louise for Gaga's similarly-titled "Telephone."

"Why Don't You Love Me" (2010) Betty Page met Betty Draper in the martini-swilling, chain-smoking, mascara-running incarnation of B.B. Homemaker. Foxy Cleopatra she certainly is not. Shazam!

"Run the World (Girls)" (2011) Beyoncé's style evolution pretty much peaked when she decided to wear Givenchy Haute Couture while brandishing two jackals on a leash. You don't go up from there, I'm sorry. Alexander McQueen dress and thigh-high boots, a Giuseppe Zanotti harness, an incredible disco-ball of a Gareth Pugh dress and heels, a Jean Paul Gaultier couture gown, an Emilio Pucci dress. In Beyonce's post-Apocalyptic world, haute couture is the only armor you'll need.

Diana Ross and the girls were impeccable. They are The Beatles of the girl group realm. Simply, and sparkly, the greatest.

Sluts. All of them. Even the ginger, in the palazzo pants. Dolls, go get dressed.

The Spice Girls inspired a generation of little girls to buy blue plastic skirts and platform sneakers. And it was GOOD! With each their own personality, we learned that an athlete and a diva can be bff, and that leopard print is wildly acceptable. Girl power.

Never ever have I ever seen such snoozy outfits. Jeans. T-shirts. Come on. If you want to be pop stars, dress like it! One hit wonder... then we saw them.

Yes, ladies, we're calling this a best. Pants that could fit a family of four were everything, EVERYTHING then. This look may make you feel unpretty right now, but it was THE height of cool.

These girls. From spelling all of their song titles wrong, that one on the left looking like a hot self-tanned train-wreck, haters, they gon' hate.

Here I go, here I go, here I go again, girls what's my weakness? Leather jackets and chains.

Say you will, say you won't, say you'll never wear that again. The music bopped, but looks were atrocious. C'est La Vie

Thanks to Beyoncé's mama Tina Knowles who made their matching outfits in the early years, B, Kelly and Michelle always had their toes powerfully on the line between classy and scandalous. We say, yeah yeah yeah yeah.

- It’s her birthday and she’ll slap you if she wants to. Happy Birthday Naomi Campbell! The volatile super turns 42 today. Why not celebrate by hurling your phone at an insolent insubordinate?

- André Leon Talley once again tells it like it is. On Beyoncé being late to the Met Gala: ”Beyoncé was not slated to come. She decided to come last minute when the dress arrived at her house. She tried it on and then she said, ‘Okay, I have to come.’ She did arrive at 8:55 and the ball had already started, but it didn’t matter because she is Beyoncé.” [Racked]

- And on whether he’d dress Kim Kardashian: “No, I think that’s bastardizing yourself [as a designer].” [The Cut]

- Occasional nudist Bar Rafaeli tops Maxim‘s Hot 100 list and unsurprisingly she’s bereft of clothing. [Modelinia]

- Mark Zuckerberg’s new wife, Priscilla Chan, is proving more popular than Facebook’s stock with her wedding dress by Claire Pettibone being coveted by a number of jealous bitches brides-to-be. [Fashionista]

- Speaking of bridal wear, for the bride who openly doesn’t give a shit about how she looks: wedding UGGs! [Huff Po]

- Prada‘s new fashion film is practically dripping in Oscars…and probably some weird sexual kinks. Directed by Roman Polanski (guilty on both fronts), Sir Ben Kingsley plays psychiatrist to Helena Bonham Carter before shirking his shrink duties to drape himself in her Prada purple puffer jacket. [Refinery29]

This isn’t Lady Jane’s first time at the rodeo as she hosted the 63rd annual Primetime Emmy Awards this past September. And though last year’s Fifis was a veritable shitshow of malfunctions and technical difficulties, Lynch — being an old pro — is coming prepared: “I’ll make sure I’ll have notes on note cards and not on a teleprompter. And I’ll bring a flashlight in case the lights go out. We’ll make it fun. What I like most of all is being off the cuff and making sure everyone has a good time.”

While Lynch credits her overly-sensitive olfactory in helping to hone her craft — scent being the strongest sense tied to memory and all — don’t expect her to slap her name on a perfume bottle any time soon. “I probably wouldn’t do anything like that, but I love that [category],” she said. “I’m the first one who will pick up a scent and say, ‘Oh, this is Beyoncé. This is what Beyoncé smells like?’ I love how very serious [celebrities] are about how they chose the particular fragrances.”

When in a fragrant mood, Jane opts for Jo Malone‘s “Orange Blossom” but she is in fact not actually a fan of perfume. The actress otherwise known as Sue Sylvester admits that she’s wary about being attacked by those  spritzers at Macy’s, warning them, “Don’t do it, because if it’s not good I’m going to have to go home and take a shower.”

To that particular dilemma I have but two words for Ms. Lynch: Bieber. Someday. It’s not the most successful celebrity fragrance launch in history for nothin’, Janey. [WWD, sub req'd]

What a feeling Whit's having as she sports the off-the-shoulder Flashdance look.

Whitney began her affair with hair crimping and accessorized it with a quintessentially 80s accessory, the hair bow.

America's then-sweetheart glammed it up to brag about how much she loved herself.

The hair crimping was taken to new heights -- all the way to the sky. And can we talk about this stunning makeup story and matching earrings?

Whitney payed homage to fashion icons Marlene Dietrich, Diana Ross and Audrey Hepburn as she danced her way through Harlem Renaissance, Motown and Funny Face.

The shoulders make a triumphant return, this time jazzed up by some well-placed rhinestones.

A lesser-known Houston hit, Whitney donned a blond wig in an ode to Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo.

It may look like she's wearing a beaded curtain on her head, but it was only after she was forced to close one more door.

Before Beyoncé was putting rings on things and Lady Gaga rolling around with paparazzi, Whitney was rocking Thierry Mugler.

Who says you can't wear a fur coat on the beach? When you're a diva, you can wear whatever the hell you want wherever the hell you want. It's part of the job.

Hands down my favorite Houston hairstyle, Whitney's smart and sassy flip was perfect for the dominatrix look she's shutting down.

Rachel Zoe's fingerprints are all over Whitney's final video, from the fur jacket Whitney rocks in the beginning to the silver sequined gown she stomps away in at the end. A fitting and fitted finale.

Eartha Kitt - "Santa Baby" (1953) Lyric: “Come and trim my Christmas tree/With some decorations bought at Tiffany’s.”

Sister Sledge - "He's the Greatest Dancer" (1979) Lyric: "He wears the finest clothes/ The best designers heaven knows/ Ooh, from his head down to his toes/ Halston, Gucci, Fiorucci/ He looks like a still/ That man is dressed to kill."

Klymaxx - "Meeting in the Ladies Room" (1985) Lyric: (Spoken Intro) "I had to leave my condo to come to this/ Well I'm back/ But this time I'm with my man/ And these women are puttin' their hands all over his Yamamoto Kansai sweater that I bought/ And I'm much, much unhappy about that/ I'd hate to come down to their level and become a BW/ A basic woman/ But if they don't stop/ It's gonna get SCANDALOUS."

Run-D.M.C. - "My Adidas" (1986) Lyric: "NOOOOOOOW/ Me and my Adidas do the illest things/ We like to stomp out pimps with diamond rings."

The Notorious B.I.G. - "Hypnotize" (1997) Lyric: "I put hoes in NY onto DKNY/ Miami, D.C. prefer Versace/All Philly hoes, dough and Moschino/ Every cutie wit a booty bought a Coogi."

Lil' Kim - "Crush on You (Remix)" (1997) Lyric: "You got to hit me off/ Buy this girl gifts of course/ So I look slick in my 6 with my Christian Lacroix (pronounced Lacross)

Jay-Z - "I Just Wanna Love U (Give It to Me)" (2000) Lyric: "What do you say me, you and your Chloe glasses/ Go somewhere private where we can discuss fashion/ Like Prada blouse/ Gucci bra/ Filth Mart jeans/ Take that off."

Gwen Stefani - "Rich Girl" (2004) Lyric: "Think what that money could bring/ I’d buy everything/ Clean out Vivienne Westwood/ In my Galliano gown."

Beyoncé - "Upgrade U" (2006) Lyric: Audemars Piguet watch/ Dimples in ya necktie/ Hermès briefcase/ Cartier top clips/ Silk-lined blazers/ Diamond-creamed facials/ VVS cuff links/ Six-star pent suites."

Vampire Weekend - "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa" (2008) Lyric: "As a young girl/ Louis Vuitton/ With your mother/ On the sandy lawn"..."Can you stay up/ To see the dawn/ In the colors/ Of Benetton."

Kanye West - "Niggas in Paris" (2011) Lyric: "What's Gucci my nigga?/ What's Louis my killa?/ What's drugs my deala?/ What's that jacket Margiela?"

Lady Gaga - "Fashion of His Love" (2011) Lyric: "You know that I'd never cheat on a man/ 'Cause I'm not like that/ I'm physically crafted to be/ As fitting as McQueen." Add your favorite fashion lyrics in the comments below!

Abbey Lee Kershaw - member of Our Mountain Kershaw plays tambourine in Our Mountain and allegedly also contributes keys and vocals. The band released theirdebut single "Wooden Hearts" in 2011 and appeared in Pierre Balmain's spring 2012 fashion film directed by Inez and Vinoodh.

Agyness Deyn - featured on "Who" by Five O'Clock Heroes The single wasn't very well received, to say the least -- though NME said it succinctly enough: "she sings on this and it’s shit." -- and peaked at #109 on the UK charts. But Deyn made somewhat of a comeback, providing the opening monologue to Rihanna's "We Found Love" video.

Baptiste Giabiconi - "One Night in Paradise" (2012) I guess we can consider Baptiste's brief dalliance with Katy Perry as a fact-finding mission as the male super is determined to get his music career off the ground. But while the video for the midtempo ballad "One Night in Paradise" -- off his debut album Oxygen -- has over 2 million views, it lacks the pizzazz of his magnum opus, "Showtime."

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy - Quelqu'un m'a dit (Someone Told Me) (2003) Before she became the First Lady of France, but after she had hung up her runway heels for good, Carla Bruni released Quelqu'un m'a dit. A huge hit in France where it debuted at number one and spent 37 non-consecutive weeks on the charts, "Le plus beau du quartier" was used in a 2006 H&M commercial and the title track appears on the soundtrack of (500) Days of Summer.

Karen Elson - The Ghost Who Walks (2010) Aside from having married -- and divorcing -- rock royalty in the form of Jack White, Elson has her own musical credentials on which to stand. A founding member of New York-based cabaret act The Citizen's Band, Elson released her White-produced solo album in 2010, The Ghost Who Walks, to positive reviews. The album's title track was released as a single and the accompanying video was also directed by White.

Milla Jovovich - The Divine Comedy (1994) Though best known today as an "actress," Jovovich was already a model veteran when she released her critically-acclaimed debut album in 1994. It didn't do so well commercially, but Jovovich continues to contribute songs to the soundtracks of her own films as well as others, such as 2003's Underworld.

Naomi Campbell - babywoman (1994) Naomi made her music video debut in 1978 when she appeared in the clip for Bob Marley's "Is This Love." She went on to appear in videos for Culture Club, Madonna, Michael Jackson and most famously George Michael. So naturally she decided to try her hand at a music career of her own with the critical and commercial failure, the horribly-titled babywoman. Peaking at #75 in her native UK, the album was a hit in Japan and went on to sell a million copies worldwide, producing the single and video "Love and Tears."

Nick Kamen - "Each Time You Break My Heart" (1986) Famous for stripping down to his undies in a classic Levi's ad in 1985, Kamen had a top 5 UK hit with "Each Time You Break My Heart," written and produced by Madonna and her frequent collaborator Stephen Bray. I'm sure the Material Girl's decision to get involved had nothing to do with the undies. What was inside of them, however...

Twiggy Twiggy has been steadily releasing albums since the 70s after she officially retired from modeling following an iconic four-year run. She released her latest album, Romantically Yours in 2011, a collection of her favorite tunes and standards such as "My Funny Valentine" and "Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered."

Tyra Banks - "Shake Ya Body" (2004) Banks -- a jill of many trades and a Harvard grad to boot -- couldn't quite master popstardom, though she tried her damndest with the Beyoncé-aping "Shake Ya Body." She also recorded a single with Kobe Bryant, "K.O.B.E.," which besides being an embarrassment for everyone involved, proved that not even two superstars can make one serviceable hit.

As soon as Madonna high-kicked her way onto MTV, a style icon was born. Girls everywhere started emulating her look: the lace gloves, the dangly earrings, the armful of bangles, the giant Ray-Bans, the hair bow and even the mole which comes and goes as it pleases over the years.

Even though well into her hundreds, Madge is still known today as the Material Girl thanks in part to this iconic clip in which she donned her best Marilyn-Monroe-in-Gentlemen-Prefer-Blonds drag and cooed the mantra of the Reagan 80s.

Now sporting a cropped do, Madonna innovated the no-pants look so popular nowadays with, oh, every single poptart -- from Lady Gaga to Beyoncé to Rihanna. But make no bones about it, Madge was going sans pants while those ladies were still pantless in diapers.

Madonna went back to her roots with this one -- literally. She's been a blond for most of her celebrity life so it's easy to forget that Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone is -- like most blonds -- really a brunette.

Directed by The Social Network's David Fincher, Madonna pays tribute to the classic 1927 silent film Metropolis and the gender-bending glamour of Marlene Dietrich with the most expensive video made at the time at a cost of $5 million. An epic by all means, the video has been more or less blatantly copied by both Christina Aguilera and Gaga. But the original still stands head and shoulder pads above the rest.

Madge continued her magnificent obsession with old Hollywood in this, her greatest sartorial achievement to date. "Vogue" was Madonna's love letter to 30s and 40s glamour -- "Greta Garbo and Monroe, Dietrich and Dimaggio" -- all wrapped up chicly in the voguing trend brought to light by the classic documentary Paris Is Burning. Every thing about this video and every look in it is absolutely flawless -- particularly this blouse giving the illusion of being sheer and the Veronica Lake wave she sports intermittently throughout.

Directed by fashion photographer Fabien Baron and featuring a cameo from 90s music video staple Naomi Campbell, "Erotica" was Madonna's 2nd video banned from MTV after "Justify My Love" two years prior. But all controversy aside, have you ever seen a more chic dominatrix? Bonus points for the gold tooth.

Madonna really classed it up for this video and for good reason. At the time she was lobbying to play the role of Eva Perón in Evita, which of course she subsequently got. Is it any wonder, what with her perfectly painted pout, elbow-length opera gloves and the pièce de résistance -- that stunning veil -- that Argentina would want to cry for her?

Then of course that class went flying out the window. Donning a catsuit and cornrows, Madonna literally and figuratively said "fuck you" to all of her critics. Over a decade later, Xtina wore a very similar look in "Not Myself Tonight," but one good catsuit deserves another.

After a hiatus that saw the birth of the future messiah known as Lourdes Leon, Madonna came roaring back with "Frozen." Wearing beautifully gothic gowns by a then-unknown Olivier Theyskens, Madonna heralded yet another reinvention: that of the Eastern-enlightened earth mother. Who knew the Kabbalah thing would last this long?

Madonna really decided to pimp herself out for "Music" -- white fur coat, white jumpsuit and enough jewelry to make even the balling-est rapper blanch. With Madonna, you either go bling or you go home.

Inching ever closer to the half century mark, Madonna showed no signs of slowing down and stripped off her pants once again to show the kids how it's done. Sporting a deliciously retro leotard under a wrap blouse and Farrah Fawcet's iconic do, the Material Girl proved that some things just get better with age.

Dida Ritz And the category is...CHEESECAKE! Beauty Tip: Just make sure you wash your face. I don't think a lot of queens really understand that you have to fully exfoliate. And not just like a little five minute wash, I'm talking like a good fifteen minute scrub. You gotta get in the nooks and crannies, where you put makeup at and you gotta wash. Style Inspiration: I try not to follow trends. I don't necessarily like doing what every other drag queen does. I'm really inspired by real women. I'm inspired by, of course Beyoncé and all those girls I love, but I'm really inspired by real women. I'm inspired by the girls I went to school with, I'm inspired by the girls I hang around on a daily basis, I'm inspired by my best friend who's a single mother and literally is always fly and fierce, but also has a son that she has to feed. I'm inspired by really powerful women who still keep themselves up and march to the beat of their own drum. They're not about wearing a Louboutin because everyone else is wearing a Louboutin; they're about wearing a Louboutin because they want to wear a Louboutin.

Jiggly Caliente Keepin' it 1-0-0. Beauty Tip: Always -- ALWAYS -- before you go to bed: wash. your face. And I mean really, really wash your face. Just wash the shit, all the gunk outta your face. End of the night, no matter how tired you are, ladies! Don't matter! After a drunk night at the club, you better wash your face girl! Makeup Bag Essentials: MAC lip gloss, Urban Decay eye palette, bareMinerals kabuki brush, eyelash curler and my mascara. Style Inspiration: Right now my whole look, my whole theme is very much Basketball Wives. Huge earrings, chunky bracelets. Evelyn [Lozada] is getting a lot out of my pocket right now. I like it to be urban, classy, but edgy at the same time.

Latrice Motherfuckin' Royale Jesus is a biscuit, let him sop you up. Favorite Moment from RPDR: This is gonna sound kinda shady but when Willam got disqualified it was sickening, bitch. That was good ass TV. Puking. We had just won the challenge. And then...surprise, surprise. I was like, YES! Beauty Tip: It doesn't necessarily have to be cosmetics. For me it's all about body proportions. I have to be hip to ass to titty. Body beautiful, baby.

Chad Michaels A PROFESSIONAL. Beauty Tip: Have a good foundation. Mine might not look so good right now, but a good foundation is your base for everything. Whether it's a light one or a full coverage or just a powder, even out that skin tone and that's what you start on. Makeup Bag Essentials: Well, for me as a drag queen, my Elmer's glue stick to glue down my eyebrows, obviously my foundation and my color palette. That's where all the magic comes from. And I've got about 12 colors that I work with and I just push 'em around and make it happen. If She Could Have Done Anything Differently: During the Gay Pride challenge, I would've painted my boat to look like the Titanic. And I would've been Celine Dion. And took that effin' Heart [of the Ocean] and thrown it at RuPaul's feet and won that challenge! Style Inspiration: I love trends but I also like to be classic, I like to be timeless. Love my Versace. I wouldn't say I have one style -- I like to feel good. And I wear what makes me feel good. It may not be what everyone likes but hell!

Sharon Needles Sharing responsibility. Style Inspiration: You know, I don't follow trends. I like to look at fashion magazines but I never remember who the designers are. The only designer I can ever identify is an Alexander McQueen. I just take three concepts: it has to be beautiful, it has to be spooky and it has to look stupid. And if those three things aren't met then it will not go on my body. Beauty Tip: Shave your eyebrows off, it'll save a lot of time gluin' 'em down. Makeup Bag Essentials: The most important thing in my makeup bag is alcohol.

Be bright like Beyoncé and find a near neon patchwork skirt and pair it with an even more vibrant (yet solid) shirt.

Diana Agron juxtaposes the feminine crepe pleating with a rugged man's white shirt.

None too complex, Kim Kardashian pairs a solid high slit Rachel Zoe skirt with a white tucked-in tank. Here, a belt makes all the difference.

Kate Bosworth hits up the loose tuck, creme on creme with studding.

With dotted ombré guiding the eye from salmon to cream, Olivia Palermo to and from the fox coat.

Even in floor length bold red, Blake Lively passes the look off as laidback, with a reinvented jean vest and flip flops peeking out the bottom. Coffee in hand, white tank still in tact, this might just be Lively first thing in the AM.

Rachel BIlson kicks a lef out of a roses-are-blue super high-slit skirt, high-waisted with a deep blue, perfectly matching, semi-sheer top.

Poppy Delevigne, daughter of Selfridge's head stylist, teams a moderately high-slit, soft pink skirt with a full hip cut leather jacket.

Make like Rachel Zoe and let a jersey heather maxi replace your sweatpants. Even in the house.

Ashley Olsen, meanwhile, dresses up the floor dropping heather jersey with a leather blazer, fur bag and an air that says, "Bitch, I could buy you."

- Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Robin Givhan was kicked out of her usual front row seat at Chanel for a scathing critique of Karl Lagerfeld. Well at least her seat went to a blogger, socialite or D-list celebrity — which could easily be the same person.[The Cut]

Step aside Blue Ivy, Auntie Nicki will let you know who really is the baddest bluest bitch.

Perhaps Nicki Minaj wants to abandon her 5 year plan of an autobiography, Grammys and a feature film in exchange for a stint with the Blue Man Group?

Developing her inner Avatar for the impending sequel?

Nicki was just a bit jealous of Katy Perry's role in the Smurfs.

Hudson’s emotional performance was one of several poignant moments during the telecast, including Alicia Keys and Bonnie Raitt paying tribute to the late Etta James and Amy Winehouse‘s parents accepting their daughter’s trophy with Tony Bennett for their duet, “Body and Soul.”

While Adele had to hitch a U-Haul to her limo to take home her six trophies, the Foo Fighters walked away with five including Best Rock Album for Wasting Light while Kanye West won four, including Best Rap Album for My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and Best Rap Song for “All of the Lights.”

Last but certainly not least, one Ms. Diana Ross was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award, her first Grammy after 800 years in the business. The supreme diva took to the stage in a cloud of hair at the end of the night to present Adele with her Album of the Year award. And while the show featured countless moments that would best be forgotten — I’m looking at you Katy Perry and Taylor Swift — the symbolic passing of the torch from Whitney to Jennifer and Ms. Ross to Adele made this a night to remember.

Check out the full list of winners here.

Rocawear will debut its first ever television campaign titled “From Marcy to Madison Square” starring the Jigga Man and chronicling his oft-told rise from the Marcy Projects of Bedford Stuyvesant — otherwise known as The Livest One — in Brooklyn to selling out shows in Madison Square Garden. The spot will utilize footage from Jay and Kanye West‘s Watch the Throne concert at MSG in November.

“This is a really big deal, and fashion companies don’t usually use television. We are investing in the brand,” said chief marketing officer Jameel Spencer. “We are looking to spend more money than we did in the past in marketing this brand.”

Said brand has a total of 26 licenses around the world including children’s wear and newly signed swimwear, home goods and watch licensing deals. Whether the company plans to include a range of feminine hygiene products was not available at press time. Like the rest of the fashion world, Rocawear has also begun to focus heavily on the Asian market.

As for Jay-Z, speculation over his continued involvement with the brand should — much like Baby Blue Ivy — be put to rest. Along with the commercial, Jay has strengthened his relationship with Rocawear by renewing his contract to endorse the brand into 2014. [WWD, sub req'd]

There goes Kim Kardashian thinking she knows anything about relevant fashion.

More American, and less Barbadian by the minute, Rihanna shows her U.S. pride on the breastesses.

Miley Cyrus reveled in the 'cest-pod with her Jonas Brothers love shirt.

Beyonce, like a good Child, is only working the tee for one Ms. Kelly Rowland.

And there's Rachel Zoe getting positively lost in this skulldug tee.

Mila Kunis still looks flawless. I believe her Jim Morrison reference is in earnest. She'll live to wear Elie Saab another day.

Megan Fox in a Star Wars tee just gave all of her biggest Transformers fans a chubby. Girl knows her audience.

Chloe Sevigny marks her favorite t-shirt in Entertainment Weekly. Points for the cheek, and the classic reference.

Officially the only time Lady Gaga ever wore a t-shirt (and pants) was as Jo Calderone. Thank you, sir.

Remember when this happened? Justin Bieber and Tiffani Amber Thiessen did a shirt swap/PR stunt and repped the other sugar-faced star on their cotton chests. And that's how you wear a t-shirt.

The clothing line designed in partnership with 22 designers to raise money has been selling well, but the hot ticket item is a seat at the actual fundraiser that will also be thrown by gracious host Miss Scarlett Johansson.  Tickets start at $250 for a guest, $1000 for red carpet photos and a limited edition tote bag, and $2500 where you will have the opportunity to dine with Miss Wintour, Scarlett, and a bevy of fashion designers that have participated in the campaign.  Tickets are selling out fast, so be sure to get yours soon right here.

-Here’s a preview of Adriana Lima‘s Super Bowl commercial for Kia. Mid-sized economy cars just got a whole lotta sexy:

When and how did your line begin?

I launched my accessories line in the Fall of 2010 with a concept design of epaulets.  I created a small collection in different styles and they ended up in the hands of some fashion influentials. I’ve since introduced earrings, bangles and eyewear.

What inspires your work?

I watch a lot of nature documentaries. I’m in love with the beluga whale. I watch the same documentaries over and over.. I’ve seen the Blue Planet series over a hundred times and I now watch Microcosmos fanatically. Have you ever seen ladybugs make love? It’s a fascinating and a gentle experience.

Where do you finding the amazing leathers and animal skins that you use on your accessories?

I buy my leather at the same place that Helmut Lang, Diane Von Furstenberg and Oscar De La Renta buy from. Its expensive and the best in the city. Libra Leather. I work with Sam Jones, The Leather Queen. She has great taste and instincts when it comes to leather. Libra Leather has been pioneering leather trends in New York for decades. They provide the selection designers conceptualize their entire leather collection from. They are best in the biz.

The Feather Spray Earrings seem like a big deviation from some of your previous designs. What was the inspiration behind those?

When I launched my line in October 2009 I used feathers in the fabrication of many of those epaulet designs. The feather was lying on my desk at a certain angle and it came to me.. that should be attached to an ear. I guess it’s all the nature videos I watch.

What celebrities have you worked with?

I grew up in NYC so Mary J Blige, Lauryn Hill and Beyonce were the soundtrack of my life. I attended borderline ruff schools and their music was uplifting and their voices strong, I adored them. Now as an adult, this entire experience as a designer has been transcendental for me. I often can’t believe who I’ve turned out to be. Just three years ago I was the most unhappiest girl in the world. I’ve designed for all them. I’ve also created custom accessories for Lil Wayne’s and Prince’s musical tours.. I used to make out with posters of Prince. I’ve designed for Alicia Keys’ Freedom tour.  Lauryn Hill just bought my entire collection for her European tour.

What’s your favorite part about being a designer?

The actual design process is probably my favorite part of being a designer. I often struggle between concept and application.. I’ll think about a construction for months before I even attempt to piece it together.. My own thoughts intimidate me. There is an element of anxiety I experience and I know that I’ll figure it out eventually. There are some designs I’ve constructed, not many, that I will never share with the world. I hoard special pieces.

What are the biggest challenges as a designer?

Figuring out which tradeshows to do make me pretty dizzy.

Three must haves to have in your wardrobe?

Combat boots, a black fur and a balaclava.

What is your best moment that you’ve experienced in your career?

All of them have been extraordinary. Getting picked up by Nordstrom, a tour order from Alicia Keys, selling at Patricia Field and having my mom and dad say that they’re proud of me.

What advice do you have for aspiring designers?

Organize yourself. Have a decent website, take good pictures, get a press list, don’t get tired, get motivated.  Surround yourself with good people that want good for you.  Love yourself and visualize yourself in the place you want to be.

How would you describe your personal style?

My look changes drastically, often. Recently my style is Le Femme Nikita.. assassin chic.

What is the inspiration behind “in love and good fashion” and “good taste must be shared”?

I tend to curate everything. My friends, my wardrobe and words.. I love language and assembling words together.. In Love and Good Fashion fell into place in the first weeks of creating my first collection.. it represents the head set I was in at the time..

Good Taste Must Be Shared is a personal philosophy.. Good taste crosses over into all aspects of living.. food, clothing, jewelry, travel and all of earths spoils.. Everything that is good about anything should be shared and enjoyed.

What’s currently on your iPod?

I don’t have an Ipod but I have been listening to Amy Winehouse, Wu Tang Clan, Florence and The Machine and Lauryn Hill recently.

Describe Mary Had A little Scam and the other short films you are working on based on your line?

I decided to make a short film when the concepts in my head began to move and could only be expressed through video. I’ve watched enough documentaries and films to understand the shooting style I like.  I titled the film Mary Had  A Little Scam to represent the duality between innocence and  a calculated menace. I wanted to create a sexy film that captures the private moments strong women experience when alone.. the awkwardness, paranoia, struggle, uncertainty and ultimate perseverance.  The character Mary in the short film Mary Had A Little Scam has a public persona of  a fierce rebel leader with the American Accessories Coalition for Good Taste (AACGT). Her mission is to collect rare jewelry from around the world, sharing good taste with the masses.

What are you currently working on for your line right now?

I’m preparing a trip to Paris, meetings, meetings, meetings!

Where do you see Seville Michelle Anastos 5 years from now?

I’m excited for the future.  Nothing I’ve done has been planned, my line has swept me off my feet!

You can follow Seville Michelle’s line and updates on twitter too @SevilleMAnastos

“Brotox.” Women are even getting in on the action, gifting their dudes with the gift of immobile foreheads. [HuffPo]

- Dolce & Gabbana caused outrage — and protests — among Hong Kong citizens after passing a ban on photos of the store’s window displays. The ban, however, was not enforced for foreign shoppers or Chinese nationals. [WSJ]

- The Vatican continues sweet-talking the gays with Pope Benedict claiming gay marriage basically signals the downfall of humanity. Joke’s on him, that happened after season one of the Jersey Shore. [Towleroad]

- It may be time for Barbie to start picking better friends. Doll versions of Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian – called Dash dolls after their miniature Kardashian-inspired clothing — will befriend Mattel’s golden girl this year. In addition to wearing the trashy leopard print jumpsuits synonymous with the family’s Dash Boutiques, the dolls will “reflect the girls’ measurements.” Meaning the Khloe doll will be played by Ken. [MTV]

“Artistic expression is invaluable to me in all walks of my career and I am so excited to continue to develop this path along such an amazing team at Next Model Management. I feel right at home working with people who have worked beside such creative forces in the world,” Knowles told Vogue UK.

And to commemorate Solange’s style evolution, let’s take a look back at this fashionable little gem from 2008, “Sandcastle Disco”:

arrives at the The 28th Annual MTV Video Music Awards at Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE on August 28, 2011 in Los Angeles, California.

The gays don’t really demonstrate against Catholicism so much as, you know, live, thus flying in the face of people like Uncle Fester from the Addams Family Cardinal George who see the mere existence of homoexuality as an affront to their very beliefs. So, yeah, some gay abominations death-dropping to Gaga and Beyoncé in the streets could easily turn into a cross-burning, horse-riding, good ole-fashioned lynching.

But with a twist.

Imagine, if you will, the GayGayGay: instead of burning crosses, they’d probably just burn Paris in a series of balls where they vogue the shame out of some priests, and eschewing those staid white robes, they’d instead opt for a bold print from the spring 2012 runway. Demonstrations would be DJ’d by Samantha Ronson, there’d be a disco ball somewhere/everywhere. Maybe Cardy George is onto something…pardon me while I put in a call to the Velvet Mafia. [The Advocate]

25. Beyoncé at the VMAs How does an internationally-renowned pop diva announce her alleged pregnancy with as little -- and yet as much -- fanfare as possible? Why in Lanvin and Dolce and Gabbana, of course. Cupping her burgeoning baby bump on the red carpet, Bey let loose the dogs of publicity war when she thew her mic to the ground, ripped open her Dolce jacket, and announced to the world the coming of the Messiah.

24. Karl Lagerfeld's obsession with Blake Lively Blake Lively is Karl Lagerfeld's kind of girl. And he didn't hesitate to let everyone know, naming the Gossip Girl star Chanel's official purse ambassador, throwing her in print ads, parading her about the French Riviera and most terrifying of all, showing her something bearing resemblance to actual affection.

23. The rise of the tween style icon -- Hailee Steinfeld, Chloe Moretz and Elle Fanning cover LOVE magazine The kids are more than all right, they're fucking fabulous. Hailee Steinfeld, Elle Fanning and Chloe Moretz showed that style knows no age limits, landing on best-dressed lists while barely in high school. Miu Miu tapped Steinfeld for its fall campaign and Rodarte had Fanning star in a short film, while all three graced the cover of LOVE magazine this summer.

22. Emma Watson, style icon Emma Watson truly came into her own this year in a series of flawless looks both on and off the red carpet, some stunning editorial work, a capsule collection with Alberta Ferretti and a campaign with Lancôme. Hermione's not a girl, and very nearly a woman.

21. Christian Dior's disastrous Haute Couture show 2011 had its share of disastrous runway shows, but none as disastrous as Christian Dior's fall 2011 haute couture show. Left to his own devices, poor Bill Gaytten offered up an overwrought and wildly incoherent mess that, despite being maligned by pretty much everyone, still wound up on at least one red carpet thanks to Katy Perry. Let's just say she didn't help matters any.

20. Christian Louboutin trademark case Christian Louboutin tried, and failed, and is still trying to copyright its "trademark" red sole. By the way, I'm legally obligated to use trademark in quotations.

19. Versace for H&M One of the most buzzed-about diffusion lines of the year, Donatella Versace's exclusive one-off collection reignited interest in the brand's sumptuous archives and had everyone from Anna Dello Russo to Kanye West clamoring for those Medusa heads and Miami prints.

18. Karlie Kloss comes of age They grow up so fast! Karlie Kloss turned 19 this year, covered Life Magazine, shed her clothes on several occasions, became a Victoria's Secret Angel and got eye-banged by Leonardo Dicaprio -- in other words, she very publicly became an adult and a supermodel.

18

17. Lady Gaga wins over Anna Wintour Anna Wintour embraced Lady Gaga with open arms this year, putting her on the cover of Vogue and presenting her with the CFDA Fashion Icon Award. And Gaga thanked her by calling her a bitch and showing up in a walking wardrobe malfunction to the ceremony. BFFs, y'all!

16. Elizabeth Taylor's death and subsequent jewelry auction Elizabeth Taylor's death was the passing of a true legend and a style icon but her legacy lives on not only through her films, but also her impressive collection of jewels and haute couture that is being auctioned off by Christies this month.

15. Michelle Obama's McQueen controversy Michelle Obama had jaws dropping in her Alexander McQueen gown for China's state dinner but it was the fallout from the dress by Oscar de la Renta and other American designers that made the dress truly newsworthy.

14. Victoria Beckham, fashion designer This year Victoria Beckham lived up to her nom-de-Spice by gaining real credibility as a designer, and not just another celebrity with too much time on their hands, while simultaneously stepping out of her husband's sexy shadow. A win at the British Fashion Awards for Design Brand of the Year capped off a year of living poshly.

13. The Valentino Garavani Virtual Museum Sneaking in at the end of the year, the virtual Valentino museum is an innovative and ingenious step by one of the world's most iconic designers that makes his formidable legacy available to anyone who wants it.

12. The rise and subsequent fall of the fascinator Trends come and go all the time in fashion, but rarely has one particular trend impacted culture so hard and been discarded so fast. The Royal Wedding inspired ladies everywhere to make it a say-something hat day, but it was Princess Beatrice's fascinator that may go down as one of the most infamous pieces of millinery in modern recollection.

11. Marc Jacobs stolen spring 2012 collection Lifted from a train en route from Paris, the theft of parts of Marc Jacobs' spring 2012 collection was this year's biggest and most intriguing mystery. Besides, of course, whether Marc himself would defect to Christian Dior or stick it out with Louis Vuitton -- who, coincidentally, was also a victim of theft just two weeks later. Yep, big coincidence.

10. Fashion Week calendar controversy Tensions came to a head between the four fashion capitals, leaving the fate of upcoming fashion weeks up in the air. But if there's one thing we've learned from this is you don't fuck with the Italians.

9. Kate Moss' fairytale wedding It was only a few years ago that Kate Moss was spiraling down a cocaine-encrusted rabbit hole, but fashion's favorite bad girl has finally settled down. Moss wed longtime beau Jamie Hince in an epic three-day long ceremony known cheekily as Mosstock. BFF Naomi Campbell was one of her bridesmaids, and in a show of solidarity, Moss chose a wedding dress by John Galliano. Kate Moss' wedding was not only front-page news, it garnered the most coveted cover of the year: Vogue's September issue.

8. Bill Cunningham New York Originating and perfecting the art of streetstyle photography decades before The Sartorialist picked up a camera, Bill Cunningham finally got his time in the spotlight thanks to a heartwarming documentary that reveled a little of the man behind that ubiquitous lens.

7. Kanye West shows at Paris Fashion Week Kanye West is a man of many talents, though fashion design may or may not be one of them. A true lover of fashion, West did his research and worked with the best people but in the end he let his usual over-zealousness get the best of him and the result? When prompted for her opinion on West's collection, Anna Wintour responded: "Ask someone else."

6. Missoni for Target Missoni for Target took the high-low collaboration craze to a fever pitch, crashing Target's website and selling out shortly after hitting the shelves. That is, before those items appeared on eBay for several times what they had originally cost, thus negating the entire process.

5. The rise of Lea T. and Andrej Pejic Transsexual lady Lea T. met Oprah and androgynous male model Andrej Pejic met the Queen of England this year. If that weren't enough of a moment, these two gals also shattered boundaries in fashion and modeling, and in the process became icons and role models to the LGBTQ community.

4. The reinvention of Carine Roitfeld Quele scandale! Did she get fired? Did she quit? Are she and Emmanuelle Alt no longer friends? The rumors have been buzzing around Carine Roitfeld since she officially exiting Vogue Paris in February -- and in the process creating a future supermodel in Saskia de Brauw --  after 10 landmark, nipple-bearing years. But through it all, Carine has been the picture of calm and chic, hiking up her pencil skirt and reinventing herself as a brilliant and in-demand stylist/the coolest bitch on the planet. Stay tuned for another reinvention when Carine launches a new magazine and starts life as a grandmother next year.

3. Kate Middleton's Alexander McQueen wedding dress The speculation was unbearable for what was the biggest and most well-kept secret in an age of superfluous information. Though an unsurprising but nevertheless brilliant choice, Sarah Burton's handiwork cemented the Duchess of Cambridge (née Kate Middleton) as not only a bona fide style icon but a phenomenon on both sides of the Atlantic. Meanwhile, Burton proved she was the right person to carry on McQueen's brilliant legacy and take it to the next level.

2. Alexander McQueen's Savage Beauty The most successful fashion exhibit in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's  history, Alexander McQueen's Savage Beauty set records and inspired fashion lovers and neophytes alike. The exhibit proved so popular, in fact, the Met extended its run twice. Even then, there were still lines of people waiting hours to get into the museum, but for 661,509 people it was well-worth the wait.

1. John Galliano stars in Gallianogate John Galliano's downfall has loomed large all year, particularly since Christian Dior has yet to announce his replacement, despite a neverending back-and-forth with a stubborn Marc Jacobs. Following a stint in rehab, a guilty conviction in Paris for making anti-Semitic remarks, and the general destruction of his reputation, Galliano at least had one bright spot this year: designing good friend Kate Moss' wedding dress. Galliano's dismissal also raised questions about the stress designers are under to deliver  multiple collections a year -- just ask Balmain's Christophe Decarnin. Everyone's still waiting to see who Dior picks to take the throne and if Galliano can make a comeback after such a devastating fall. As 2011 comes to a close, 2012 has the promise of even more scandals, breakdowns and breakthroughs that we cannot wait to cover obsessively for you. If we missed any epic moments or if you're particularly incensed over Lindsay Lohan's Playboy spread not making the list, leave a comment below.

I’m getting a little, or a lot, of Janet Jackson circa “You Want This” slash TLC circa “Waterfalls” right now.  Which means I’m fully on board. Hopefully there’s more to come but until then, do yourself a favor and check out this performance of “Love. Sex. Magic.” featuring one Ms. Justin Timberlake from SNL to see what all the hype’s about.

Adele is up for the biggest prizes of the night, Album (21), Record and Song of the Year (“Rolling in the Deep”) — I mean, the RIAA might as well just start engraving her name on those golden gramophones now and call it a day. Kanye’s masterwork, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was somehow snubbed for an Album of the Year nod (god save the assistant who had to deal with that fallout), though Ye will go against himself in the Rap Album of the Year category — Watch the Throne, his collaboration with Jay-Z and Fantasy are both nominated.

Rihanna‘s Loud (no comment), Lady Gaga‘s Born This Way, Foo Fighters‘ Wasting Light, and Bruno Mars‘ Doo Wop & Hooligans are also up for Album of the Year. Joining Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” and Kanye’s “All of the Lights” (both highly deserving) in the Record of the Year category are Bon Iver‘s “Holocene,” Bruno Mars’ ”Grenade,” Mumford & Sons‘ ”The Cave,” and Katy Perry manages to sneak her way in yet again with “Firework.”

Shockingly absent from this year’s mutual admiration society is Grammy staple, Beyoncé. 4, in my opinion her best solo effort to date, received only one nomination for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for “Party” — not the video version, but the good one with André 3000. Of course, Queen Bey has 16 Grammys already and she’ll probably be busy giving birth to her alleged baby come Grammy night anyway.  Her chief rival for diva supremacy, one Lady Gaga, only came out with three nods this year, and not even one for music video (if not for “Born This Way,” at least “Judas,” kids).  Meanwhile, late chanteuse and 5-time winner Amy Winehouse garnered a posthumous nomination for her duet with Tony Bennett, “Body and Soul.”

The last category anyone could possibly care about is that combination gift/curse, Best New Artist. Nicki  Minaj is the frontrunner based simply on popularity and record sales, and is the only female solo artist nominated this year. She will face off against Bon Iver, The Band Perry, J. Cole, and Skrillex.
