Adele Engaged? Kanye Stars in Vogue and Kathy Ireland Is Bigger Than Martha Stewart

Edited by

- Adele was flashing more than just the bird at the Brit Awards last night. The unlucky-in-love singer showed up with a massive rock on her marrying lady finger, prompting rumors of an engagement. [Huff Po]

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez apparently mistook Vanity Fair‘s photo booth for the room they shoulda gotten for this inappropriate heavy petting.  Paul Rudd and Jason Bateman, however, can take that lovin’ to the streets. [Buzzfeed]

- Joining Nicki Minaj in the pages of Vogue is fellow raptress-cum-fashionista Kanye West. Ye rips off his shirt and reassuringly cups Florence Welch‘s ass to pose with Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci, thus squashing any rumors of a feud between West and Anna Wintour.

Designer Daily: Zahia Dehar

Edited by

Zahia Dehar isn’t your average, run-of-the-mill lingerie designer. In fact, she didn’t even begin her career in the fashion world; her name hit the spotlight when it was revealed she was a former underage prostitute. After claiming three French football stars had sex with her while younger than 18, her luck transformed. Not only did she launch own lingerie line with help from some of France’s greatest couturiers including François Tamarin, Bruno Legeron and Jean-Pierre Ollier, she’s been photographed modeling the collection by a range of talented artists. Karl Lagerfeld himself got behind the lens, saying it was fun to work with her, “like Vargas pinups.” The below collection was shot by Alix Malka for Vanity Fair - see the spread after the jump.
