See the first photos of Kim Kardashian’s wedding dress »

After a weekend (and a day) without any clear photos of Kim Kardashian‘s wedding dress, they’re finally here, watermarked and all. E! Online has released three photos of Saturday’s nuptials, complete with front, side and bootie views. The first photo depicts Kardashian and BB Kanye West drunk in love after saying “I do” at the Forte di Belvedere in Florence, Italy. A side view of the Givenchy Couture dress reveals delicate lace detail, a mega train and a larger than life wall of flowers, reportedly dreamed up by Yeezus himself. The second, features Mr. and Mrs. West walking back down the aisle, with cameos from North West, Bruce and Kris Jenner in the background. It’s in this photo that you can really see the dress in all its hide-and-show glory, with a covered up lace yoke, scalloped floor length skirt and skin-baring midriff. Click through for more details, including a detail on Kim’s train from her final fitting with Riccardo Tisci.

If you, like me, spent the weekend soaking up the sun while glued to your phone in anticipation of #KimyeWedding details, you are not alone. You are also not creepy, but hey, maybe you are. In the span of three days, I followed every Kardashian offspring, learned that Balmain’s Olivier Rousteing has found a new bestie in Kardasian makeup artist Joyce Bonelli and most importantly, that all photos of the actual wedding are sure to be locked up in a future issue of People Magazine. Frustration, thy name is single paparazzi shot, fractured hashtags and Jay-Z/Beyoncé no-show.

If you’ve been keeping up with the Kardashians on Instagram accounts, you would know that Kim Kardashian’s bachelorette party took place last night in Paris. Joined by besties and family members in dark party attire, Kimmy stuck to the pre-nuptial trend and stood out (per usual) wearing white. While mortals like us would simply opt […]

The best dressed Met Gala 2014 couples »

Last night’s Met Gala might as well have been called the “Battle of the Power Couples” with well-dressed duos walking the red carpet matching in designer-clad ensembles for this year’s Charles James: Beyond Fashion exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

There was lots of talk over whether or not the Beckhams would make an appearance at this year’s Met Gala, but rumours were put to rest when the It Brit couple arrived on the red carpet in matching white ensembles. While David Beckham escorted his wife looking dapper in a white Ralph Lauren Black Label tuxedo jacket with black pants, Victoria Beckham was a vision in white wearing a strapless column dress of her design.

But if we were to dub the cutest power couple of the night, it would have to go to Beyoncé and Jay-Z hands down. According to sources, Queen Bey may have lost her ring for a short period of time while flaunting her envious curves in a Givenchy Couture dress at the sea of paparazzi. Luckily hubby, who was also in Givenchy, was there by her side to find it and put a ring on it while down on one knee (cue the awws).

If reports about Anna Wintour wanting this year’s Met Gala to be more exclusive were true, they certainly did not apply to the A-list. Last night’s red carpet was stacked (and we mean stacked) with just about everyone from the recluse to rising star. Surely, it had something to do with the fact that last night was the inaugural Met Gala celebrating the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s renamed Anna Wintour Costume Center. Maybe too, it was just like the rest of us have been trained to understand: The Met Gala is not to be missed.

Honouring oft-forgotten American couturier Charles James, last night’s event was all about 1950s glamour. Its “white tie” guest-list prompted gents like Johnny Depp and Kanye West to wear tails, Zoe Saldana to wear a recreated Michael Kors bustle and both Taylor Swift and Sarah Jessica Parker to take to the stairs with over-the-top Oscar de la Renta trains. Unlike the sometimes cookie cutter Oscars, the Met Gala is a time to break out some real steez and red carpet queen Lupita Nyong’o did just that in a flapper-inspired feathered Prada dress. Perhaps more Poiret than James, the dress made for some serious chatter from both the “for” and “against” camps. Fellow red carpet queen (and queen of life, truly) Rihanna went anti-theme in a sexy stomach-baring Stella McCartney dress which killed, as usual.

To quote Justin Bieber: never say never. Kim Kardashian finally has her Vogue cover. After years of proverbially taking Anna Wintour‘s sh*t, fashion’s grand high poobah has finally granted the reality star a pass. In the just-released image, Kardashian is pictured in the arms of fiancé Kanye West wearing a wedding dress, her multi-carat engagement ring and accompanied by the caption #worldsmosttalkedaboutcouple.

A hashtag on the cover of Vogue. A Kardashian on the cover of Vogue. In this moment, the high-lo universe we call home has come together with surreal cultural clarity. Just let that sink in as you watch Kimye produce the high fashion version of their last collaborative masterpiece below.

See the latest street style looks from Paris Fashion Week »

Yesterday’s Paris Fashion Week street style round up of subdued glamour was seemingly just a warm up to today’s batch of pics filled with quirky outfits and dramatic outfits featuring lots and lots of black. Black after all is fashion’s favourite colour.

Probably the standout look of the bunch is the fantastically trippy harlequin inspired red and black diamond coat and dress. Paired with a façade top hat, the back cut out allowing for an epically long ponytail, and structural cut-out shoes seemingly defying all logic and gravity. Anna Dello Russo, in typical fashion, also opted for unusual headgear, going for a felt riding cap paired with a black sleeveless shift and sheer pullover underneath. And of course, it wouldn’t be Anna without a little inflection of Asian pop art, with her gummy bear clutch adding a big of colour to the monochromatic look. Black moto jackets were all the rage and spotted on plenty of of-duty models and fashion style stars alike, with Giovanna Battaglia choosing to soften her shearling version with a ruffled gingham ensemble and bright pink fedora.

Capping off a year in style always seems so, for lack of a better word, crazy. With just about a meme a minute and the web’s proclivity for hyperbole (we’re guilty), there seem to have been so many “best moments ever.” Many of those moments involved the 10 influencers on this list, which helps. But many of them, like this, this and this will just live in our mind for all eternity until we fixate on something else. Meanwhile, here’s who we think was at the top of their game in 2013.

Kim Kardashian at Paris Fashion Week »

Kim Kardashian must think it serendipitous that the oversized outerwear trend hit just after she’d given birth to her daughter North West. Like the high fashion version of chopping your hair into a mommy bob, big ole coats are like the ultimate “getting back into the groove” essential. Coincidentally, they’re also pretty chic right now. Kardashian wore the same Max Mara camel coat 3 times over the past couple of days as she hit Paris Fashion Week with Kanye West (he wasn’t wearing leather jogging pants, but hey, this is France). Kardashian styled the coat over leggings while shopping on Avenue Montaigne, then again over a simple beige minidress, then earlier today as she returned back home to Los Angeles overtop jeans and moccasins. Versatility comes first, even if you’re a Kardashian?

Mademoiselle C For those of us who fantasize about spending a day in Carine Roitfeld’s shoes (guilty), a soon-to-be-released documentary is sure to satisfy that itch. The film, titled Mademoiselle C, promises an inside glance into the glamorous life of the ex Vogue Paris editor in chief. The documentary, directed by Fabien Constant, features Roitfeld […]

The post 10 Must-See Fashion Documentaries to Watch Now appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

Gone are the days when celebrities and designers were just, well, celebrities and designers. Now with every celebrity endorsement comes with a prestigious title—one that we’re used to being associated with helming a major fashion house—the creative director.

While we can’t be too certain what part of the process these celebrity endorsements play other than lending their face or fame to the product, it has become increasingly common for musicians, actors, and designers to add a creative director title to their CVs (aka their Wikipedia pages). With the recent news of Alicia Keys becoming the Global Creative Director of Blackberry, and today’s announcement of Marc Jacobs as the newest creative director of Diet Coke—succeeding Jean Paul Gaultier—we’ve decided to take a look back at some of the weirdest and flat out funniest creative directors to date.

See our gallery of celebrities on New Year’s Eve 2013 »

2013 is finally upon us, and as many people are probably struggling to remember what they did for New Year’s Eve, the proof—for better or worse—is ready for a peek on social media. New Year’s Eve is often the best time to take a fashion risk, and many celebrities did just that. At the annual Dick Clark New Years Rockin’ Eve blowout celebration in New York’s Times Square, Taylor Swift updated the classic motorcycle jacket with the addition of red sequins as she performed a slew of her hits and planted a kiss on beau Harry Stiles of One Direction at the stroke of midnight. Yeah, we’re not above the swoon. Carly Rae Jepsen wore red as well, fashioned in a long and frilly ball skirt by Sachin + Babi (under which she adorably wore long johns) paired with black lace gloves, Madonna-style.
