It was around 26° last night when the amfAR New York Gala kicked off Fall 2013 Fashion Week. For some attendees, it was important to be somewhat weather-appropriate. Other folks just went right ahead and wore sheer dresses and showed plenty of skin, hypothermia (and good taste) be damned.

Paris Fashion Week is the real deal, and it's here you'll find the highest concentration of style icons in one place. Kate, Beth, Charlotte — you name it, they were at the tents and looking, well, iconic!

The French Vogue 90th Anniversary Party was a star-studded, high-fashion, My Fair Lady-style masquerade. And in the immortal words of Liz Lemon, we want to go to there.

The re-opening of the CHANEL SoHo Boutique was huge. We're talking Karl Lagerfeld - Sarah Jessica Parker - Claire Danes - Diane Kruger - huge. With, natch, the Chanel threads to match!

• The Kardashian sisters have added bikinis to their trashy Bebe line-o'-knockoffs. [People]

• Alexa Chung hates: "Bad manners," "When people talk about The Wire beyond season one," and "That I have a far-from-pretty voice. This, coupled with the fact that karaoke is basically my favorite activity, makes for some very sad evenings." [Blackbookmag]

• Alexander McQueen's funeral took place today in London. His father Ronald, Daphne Guinness, Naomi Campbell, Lady Gaga, and Kate Moss were all in attendance. [Daily Mail]

There was something for everyone to like - or hate - in Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough's eclectic, ambitious, often bizarre fall collection. And Rachel Zoe, Leigh Lezark, Chloe Sevigny, Nicole Richie and Mary-Kate Olsen were all riveted.
