The thin-skinned once and future reality-TV star wandering around the White House has hijacked 2017. An endless stream of controversial policies and obnoxious remarks directed at women, immigrants, Muslims, Mexicans, LGBTQ people and countless others has triggered a concerted anti-Trump creative resistance. In times like these, some escapist entertainment would totally be jus­tified, but if […]

How much would a designer have to pay you to persuade you to sit front row? If you answered “nothing, duh” then you are not Rihanna.

Reports are gaining momentum online that reveal a hefty front row price tag for the A-list. Jessica Chastain is said to have received $80,0000 to attend an Armani Privé show during Milan Fashion Week. Seem a little steep? For $70,000, you’ll get cool girl approval by way of Chloë Sevigny.

According to The Telegraph, getting Beyoncé or Rihanna to park their (fantastic) booties along the runway will cost a cool $100,000 a piece. When you think of how frequently we are seeing these beauties front row the price tag becomes offensively impressive. If you do the math, that means Rihanna made almost a millie at Paris Fashion Week attending shows by Lanvin, Givenchy, Chanel and more.

As Paris Fashion Week wraps up today, the international fashion circuit comes to a close. But as with all good things, the arguably best shows were saved for last. Or rather the most star studded front rows. At this morning’s Miu Miu Fall 2014 show, every pretty young thing turned up to watch the runway; even Jared Leto and his perfectly coiffed hair made an appearance!

Prada/Miu Miu It girl and newly minted Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o was wore a Spring 2014 ruched pink skirt and cropped jacket with an embellished collar in a deep raspberry shade that complemented her skin tone flawlessly. After reportedly introducing herself to all of her fellow front row-ers (so darn polite!), she pulled out some thick framed tortoise shell glasses to enjoy the show. Bad eyesight be damned. Fellow Miu Miu frontwoman Elle Fanning kept things prim and proper, removing her light blue Miu Miu jacket to reveal a yellow houndstooth sleeveless top and matching blue pleated skirt as she sat for the show.

Miu Miu focuses its ever-prophetic eye on a foursome of rising actresses this season, casting Elle Fanning, Elizabeth Olsen, Bella Heathcote and the most recent apple of fashion’s eye, Lupita Nyong’o, in the just-released Spring 2014 ads. Photographed by Inez and Vinoodh against saturated shades of blue, purple and the brand’s signature deep red, the shots reflect Miuccia Prada’s latest take on pretty-meets-perverse, with each actress dressed to the hilt in bejewelled corsets, wool knee-highs, sixties showgirl boots and swing coats. Whether coquettish (Fanning), lackadaisical (Heathcote), pensive (Olsen) or regal (Nyongo’o), each actress translates the Miu Miu woman as well as has come to be expected from their buzzy on-screen roles. Following a long line of ingénues-turned-megastars like Kirsten Dunst, Chloë Sevigny, Katie Holmes, Lindsay Lohan and most recently Blue is the Warmest Colour leads Léa Seydoux and Adèle Exarchopoulos, we daresay the future’s looking mighty bright.
