Here Are Some Good Dresses
In his first solo collection for Valentino, designer Pierpaolo Piccioli debuted a soothing array of diaphanous gowns, a deeply pleasant continuation of the house’s strong past couture showings.

Are We Gonna Allow Valentino to Bring Back the Elizabethan Ruff?

The Human Body Is Magical
Valentino Garavani and his “close friend,” actress Anne Hathaway, attended the Flower Power party in Ibiza this week, where they resembled the opposite ends of a chart about UV exposure. The 83-year-old fashion designer’s entire look—from his blue suede shoes to his skin tone that laughs in the face of sunscreen…
Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson Had a Zoolander Walk-Off at Valentino
Because fashion really has become just as ridiculous as its parodic movie depictions, the Valentino show at Paris Fashion Week just closed with Zoolander's Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson—in character as rival male models Derek Zoolander and the mononymous Hansel, respectively—having a walk-off. Don't you know I'm loco?!

Mama June's Dated Sex Offenders Before, Sugar Bear Doesn't Want Custody
With all the shocking news that's come out about Mama June lately, it's kind of hard to be surprised by the latest nugget of information that's found itself out of the bleak and awful mess that is Mama June getting back together with her daughter's molester, but here it is anyway: This isn't June's first time at the…

Valentino: What If Wednesday Addams Was a Sister Wife?
The fall/winter collection for Valentino — designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaulo Piccioli — was presented yesterday during Paris Fashion Week, and it was a wee bit buttoned-up.

R.I.P. Whitney, Phyllis, Nora, and Etta—We Lost Some Treasures in 2012
Happy last-Dirt-Bag-of-the-year!!! Let's talk about death. There's no rhyme or reason—or significance, really—to grouping people together based on the year in which they died. It's pretty arbitrary, if you think about it. Tony Scott's suicide doesn't have anything to do with Michael Clarke Duncan's heart disease. But…
Anne Hathaway's Dress Was as Ridiculous as a Castle on a Cloud at the Les Mis Premiere
Last night Real Live Movie Stars™ hit the red carpet at the Odeon Leicester Square in London, for the world premiere of Lay Miz. 'Twas a black tie affair, which means there were tuxedoes, but also: Weird bustlines, bare shoulders and crumpled taffeta.

The Best Of Haute Couture Week
Nilina Mason-Campbell ran around Paris to get a fresh look at couture. Not the runway-shot, brand-manicured take we always get. The street-skulking, exhilarating flash-and-grab honesty of the perennial non-ticket-holder! (It's not our fault we don't know any PRs in Paris.)
Rachel Zoe Sees Her Fashion Line Sitting Beside Alexander Wang And DVF
Ridiculous L'Oréal Ad Stars Patrick Dempsey, Jessica Alba, Jane Fonda And Just About Everyone Else
Kate Middleton's Wedding Attire As Imagined By Designers Who Will Never Dress Her
Who has a lot of opinions about what Kate Middleton should wear the day she becomes a princess? Designers, that's who! From Karl Lagerfeld, who favors "high boots," to Christian Lacroix, who designed an Elizabethan bodice, everyone has a fantasy.
