After much anticipation and talk about 'those' Alexander McQueen heels and the fresh off the S/S10 runway looks, its finally here. Yesterday Lady Gaga's latest video, 'Bad Romance' was revealed.
In the latest video, the singer swaps her interest in Muppets outfits and instead pronounces that razors are the way forward. Yes, razors:
"I wanted to design a pair for some of the toughest chicks and some of my girlfriends — don't do this at home! — they used to keep razor blades in the side of their mouths," she told The Cut. "That tough female spirit is something that I want to project. It's meant to be, 'This is my shield, this is my weapon, this is my inner sense of fame, this is my monster.'"
Leona Lewis is not often considered to be the most fashion-forward of artists her age, despite her angelic voice. That is, until now. The singing sensation has been clocking up some serious fashion points in recent weeks due to her new look, which in short consists solely of up-to-the-minute Vivienne Westwood pieces.
Having worn the creations from the label to a string of events lately, most recently the MTV Europe Music awards, a spokesperson for the label has confirmed that she will be donning Westwood in her new video and will create a dozen or so bespoke outfits for her upcoming promotional worldwide tour. The source confirmed that, "The Vivienne Westwood couture team worked with Leona Lewis's stylist, Alison Edmond for this project...The brief was simple. To create a classic, glamourous and sexy look for Leona but with a Westwood twist. Leona had been a wonderful artist to work with and she fitted the Westwood silhouette so well."
After Ms Lewis's recent trouble with the crazed fan who punched her in the head a few weeks ago (he has since been sectioned, thankfully!), we're so happy to see her back with a bang and can't wait to see what she wears for her X-Factor performance today...
We had to do a double take when we first saw these pictures. I mean, we know Alexa Chung started out as a model, but we had forgotten, given all that she has accomplished since she left T4's sofa. Currently filming her show, 'It's on with Alexa Chung', which has been so much of a success that MTV even gave her a second season, this multi-talented lady definitely has many strings to her bow, including DJ-ing, presenting, designing and modelling.
Dressed in a series of outfits courtesy of Chanel, Dolce and Gabbana and Stella McCartney, Ms Chung experty poses and pouts her way through the shoot, which was photographed by Sharif Hamza for V Magazine. And as if this wasn't enough, she has just landed the DKNY Jeans ad campaign for this season. With all these balls to juggle, the only question left to be answered is whether life could possibly get better right now for Ms Chung? We certainly hope so!
Okay, we'll admit it, we take a guilty pleasure in watching fashion reality television shows. So it's no surprise that we did get a little too excited when we heard that MTV has another in the pipeline - Styl'D. As the title suggests, the series will centre around stylists, as we watch five junior assistants run around endlessly for three high-end celebrity stylists from the Margaret Maldonado Agency, including tasks like prepping Kim Kardashian for an event. From watching the teaser trailor, we think of it as a combination of The Rachel Zoe Project and Project Runway - so that'll mean another night in by the television, then.
Reality TV is that guilty pleasure we all love to hate but still find ourselves intrigued and somewhat envious of those who pluck up enough courage to allow us voyeurs to live vicariously through them and their TV antics. The likes of Lauren Conrad from The Hills and Whitney Port and Olivia Palermo of The City, have added a much needed 'cool-factor' to the proceedings.
Marc Jacobs looks set to join the ranks of the 'credible reality TV stars', as Gawker.com reported that he is preparing to feature in a new reality series, Kept, which is set around 'high-powered openly gay playboys' . Although Jacobs has not himself confirmed this new gig, having starred in Loic Prigent's feature length film, Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton last year, it would be no surprise if the designer had been bitten by the 'acting' bug. Filming is not due to start until November but for those of you who have aspirations of starring in the next hit reality tv series, head to New York in a few weeks for the open casting call. Good Luck.
Olivia Palermo,who started out as a 'social', became a household name since the launch of the MTV reality series, The City. Not content with her status as a reality TV star, the 23 year old has revealed that she is designing a jewellery range, in collaboration with Manhattan based designer- Roberta Freymann.
Alexa Chung is officially back in London after filming her new MTV series, 'It's On With Alexa Chung'. The Fash Pack team spotted the presenter this morning, sitting front row at the Margaret Howell show during London Fashion Week.
Tonight's MTV Video Music Awards, held at New York's Radio City Music Hall, provided quite the range of dress codes. From Lady Gaga's usual follow-her-own-drummer wear to Taylor Swift's mega-formal gown, the stars came out in, well, whatever they felt like.
Some of our favourites for the night were Whitney Port, Amerie and Nicky Hilton. What do you think?
