A lot can happen in seven days. And surely you don’t have time to read the entire internet, so we’ve rounded up the biggest (and weirdest) beauty moments of the week in one convenient location.

When Justin Bieber cried after his medley of “Where Are You Now?” and “What Do You Mean?” he was all of us. Not because we were moved or because we could feel God in this Chili’s tonight, but because via his tear ducts, Bieber confirmed that for the first time since Kanye and T-Swift’s infamous […]

Yesterday, the fashion world gave us a gift: writer Joan Didion as the face Céline’s Spring 2015 collection. Correct: in a world overrun by thirst, seemingly ageless models and celebrities, and—we’ll get there in a second—troubled pop stars, the French label forewent temptation to pull a cliched PR move and instead appointed an 80-year-old literary […]

Check out all Keith “Bang Bang” McCurdy’s celebrity work »

Supermodel besties Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn solidified their bond earlier this week by getting matching tats from New York City based celebrity tattoo artist Keith “Bang Bang” McCrudy. The once taboo form of defiance has morphed into an element of self-expression and personal style. Today getting inked is nbd, celebs and style setters are more covered than ever and McCurdy is responsible for some of the most famous ones.

The celeb tat artist bought his first tattoo machine when he was eighteen and tattooed his first celebrity, Rihanna, when he was twenty. Riri got wind of the ink master after seeing a Freddy Kruger piece he did online. The pop princess was only eighteen when McCurdy etched Sanskirt on her side and since then has brought a number of her a-list friends to McCurdy’s Lower East Side shop, Bang Bang Tattoos. The shop, which is set up much like an art gallery, includes a private room downstairs for celebrities, nudity, and nude celebrities.

You’ve seen the new York Fashion Week Spring 2013 runway looks, the celeb sightings and the street style photos but if you’re curious about the latest front row gossip, read on for peek at what fashion editors are ranting and raving about behind the scenes.

It’s a big week for Selena Gomez—on Friday she released her first solo album and today she turns 21. Happy Birthday, indeed! In the grand tradition of twenty-first birthdays being a big big BIG deal, Selena recorded a music video to make her fans feel like they’re all there, celebrating with her. And oh, do we ever want to be there! Set to “Birthday”—which sounds like Spring Breakers and The Bling Ring come to life—Selena and her sexy crew host a dance party that rivals the best of them, complete with sparkly crowns, break dancers, mannequins and confetti poppers. (Extra credit goes to Selena’s ’90s-inspired plaid shirt and crop top. Way to be on-trend, girl!) Now that Selena officially has the same birthday as the Royal Baby, what better way to celebrate than with a look back at some of the best house party music videos out there. From Selena’s BFF Taylor Swift to ex-BF Justin Bieber, to Janet Jackson and, of course, the Beastie Boys, let’s count ’em down!

Just when we thought Michelle Williams was growing out her hair she debuted a shorter, very trendy style at the Kate Young for Target launch in New York City last night. The “very trendy” description is key: Williams’ cut is quite short on one side with a long sweep of bang on top—making it very similar to the shaved-side styles recently worn by Pink and Miley Cyrus. (Well, to be fair, Pink has had that haircut for years…) Either way, it’s certainly the edgiest look we’ve seen on Williams, who tends to favour softer styles and classic pixie cuts.

But with Michelle Williams embracing the side-shaved style, does this mean it’s en route to becoming a mainstream cut? Up until now, the look has been reserved for pop stars and It girls—from Rihanna to Kelly Osbourne to Kate Lanphear. Even Big Bang Theory’s Kaley Cuoco emulated the style at the ACM Awards on Sunday night with a slicked-back pompadour. And not to leave the guys out of this, Justin Bieber also showed off a similar style this week. His new cut echoes the long bangs of his iconic tween-age Bieber style with, you guessed it, close-shaven sides.

Spellbinding spaces, colourful creations, famous front-row fixtures and a parade of beautiful peacocks—fashion shows are always a spectacle, but when it comes to the greatest show on earth, Victoria’s Secret is the hottest ticket in town. This year, the mega lingerie chain’s 17th show opened with a circus-themed act that included acrobats, stilt dancers and a sword swallower. The Angels, led by sexy ringleader Adriana Lima, donned velvet trapeze-artist corsets, balloon wings, tiger jackets and snake-charmer body pieces as they whipped the crowd into a frenzy. Despite the fact that this production took place in New York one week after Hurricane Sandy unleashed her wrath on the East Coast, and the same day as the first nor’easter storm of the season, the VS team managed to pull off their spectacular feats without any noticeable snafus. When there are 38 models—and 38 travel schedules—to coordinate; 80 stage hands on call; 28 sets of couture-worthy wings feverishly being finished; 2,154 guests to be seated; Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars and Rihanna performing; a prime time slot on CBS booked, with TV viewers from 185 countries; and millions of dollars on the line, it’s clear the show must go on.

Backstage, the energy is palpable as the Angels—I spy Doutzen, Candice, Alessandra, Behati and Miranda—are transformed into heavenly creatures by a glam squad (22 hairstylists, 18 makeup artists and seven manicurists) headed up by hair whiz Orlando Pita and makeup maestro Tom Pecheux. All of the one-name genetic wonders are clad in pink satin VS robes sprinkled with Swarovski crystals, and pink flip-flops. Veteran Angel Doutzen Kroes, a five-time VS walker, admits she still gets nervous, while newbie Cara Delevingne, a 20-year-old British ready-to-wear model and the star of Burberry’s fall campaign, hams it up during her interviews, making funny faces and dropping the occasional F-bomb, before stepping out onto the glittery VS runway for the first time. “It’s a completely different deal,” she says, referring to the difference between her regular modelling jobs and this extravaganza. “I’m not going to say no to a Victoria’s Secret show. They’re sexy women and I want to be one of them.” Judging by the outfit she is slated to wear in the “Pink Is Us” set—a striped latex roller-girl dress (“I’ll be lubed up to the max”)—I’d say mission accomplished.

With 2013 so close we can nearly taste it, we’re taking some time to look back and reflect on 2012 and learn a little. Our year has been filled with designer switch-ups, Kate Middleton sightings and a whole lot of celebrity spotting. We’ve always been told we’re supposed to learn from our mistakes, but instead […]

We’ll never say never to watching Canadian pop stars, Justin Bieber and Carly Rae Jepsen perform, so last night’s 100th Grey Cup was a not only a treat for our ears but also a treat for our eyes because we get to revel in their wardrobe choices.

Bieber had a big weekend with his sartorial selections from meeting Prime Minister Stephen Harper in a train conductor inspired set of overalls and a backwards cap to performing at the halftime show in an all leather harem pants, black leather tank top, and a single glove (an ode to Michael Jackson, perhaps?). Lately, JBiebs is all about the harem pant and has worn almost identical pairs of pants in red, grey, black, and white—while performing and hanging out with Selena Gomez. The set of overalls he decided to wear to meet our Prime Minister came with a lot of backlash but Harper cleared it all up by tweeting “In fairness to Justin Bieber, I told him I would be wearing my overalls too”. It seems that overalls could truly be making a comeback, after all we did see a fuchsia pair walk down Phillip Lim’s Spring runway.

Glitter, gloss, wings, 6-inch heels, plenty of pink, big, sexy hair and legs that go on for days—the Victoria’s Secret Angels know how to give good glam. Hours before the annual Victoria’s Secret fashion show began, we headed backstage amidst clouds of hairspray, racks of Swarovski-encrusted pink satin Victoria’s Secret robes and throngs of editors/bloggers/photographers to get the inside scoop from the heavenly ones (The jitters! The diets! The costumes!). Pre-show, Twitter was a-buzz with news of Karlie Kloss’s new ‘do but post-show it was all about her controversial Native American-inspired costume, which subsequently will be pulled from the televised show on December 4th. From Justin Bieber to Bruno Mars to mega-babe Rihanna, the musical performances didn’t disappoint, nor did the star-studded front row which included Alexander Wang, 30 Rock’s Katrina Bowden, Debbie Harry, members of Kings of Leon , Gossip Girl’s Jessica Szohr and Vanessa Hudgens and her boyfriend Austin Butler. Here, FASHION shares our all-access pass to this year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, backstage and beyond….
