KANYE WEST: HIS BABY’S IN BLACK

Kanye West has been educating and immersing himself in modern design, architecture, and fashion, thanks to friends in Europe and Wallpaper magazine. He shops at Barneys and isn’t afraid to wear skirts. Black, white, and cream are the only colors he wants to see in his world. He is now horrified by the tacky 11 million dollar mediterranean McMansion in Bel Air he bought with Kim, so he’s completely renovating the interior. (They’re living in a rental near her mom for now.) Kanye wants North to reflect his sleek understated style so the little girl is dressed only in black, white, or cream. No pink. The nursery will be done in navy, black and white.

Fashion Star Jessica Simpson Kara Laricks Style

FASHION STAR GOT IT RIGHT: KARA LARICKS IS A WINNER!

Last night’s Fashion Star winner, Kara Laricks, was a standout from day one and the only contestant oozing originality. Great designers usually have a unique and individual personal style, and former schoolteacher Kara was a standout compared to her competition. The series started off a bit dull because designers had to please middle of the road department stores and their rather unimaginative customers. Kara always managed to squeeze fashion forward surprises into her work and her modest attitude was refreshing. Best of all, She LOOKS like a fashion winner! On another note, this show also made us appreciate Jessica Simpson’s spontaniety.

Hair! Kesha Rock'n'Roll Style

KESHA HEAD STUDS: NOT AS AGGRESSIVE AS THEY LOOK

Kesha got our attention with her Glamour makeunder a few weeks ago- now she wants her mojo back. After shaving the side of her head, she had over 25 gold studs applied in the area. It LOOKS startling – especially to parents- but actually the studs are quite temporary and harmless. Nothing is punctured or permanent – they are GLUED on and easily removed. Considerably less invasive than a tattoo or piercing. Kesha is getting plenty of cluck for her buck.

Dita Von Teese and Kristen Stewart have different ideas about how to arrive at Charles de Gaulle airport for Paris Fashion Week. Dita turns all heads in her chic black fox trimmed vintage coat with glamorous hair and make-up. Kristen keeps her head down and hopes she won’t be noticed in her jeans and sneakers and backpack. Both appealing in their own way. It takes all kinds…

Breakout star from A&E’s top rated reality show “Storage Wars” is 60ish Barry Weiss and he’s proved to be catnip for women of a certain age. Female fans already started a Facebook fan page for their snappily dressed guy. (He admits he’s been single for the last 28 years.) Barry’s got oodles of style – he wears vintage clothing and drives amazing collectible cars, and he’s quick with a wisecrack. A cool cat. Just what women want. Above, he’s strolling in Beverly Hills with a buddy – note the shoes.

Fashion Fireball Jada Pinkett Smith Style Stylist Will Smith Willow Smith

WILLOW SMITH IS A PRETEEN FASHION ICON

Willow Smith is getting VERY tall and it’s clear that she is still inspired by Rihanna’s outrageous fashion. Her stylist Mariel Haenn put together this outfit for Willow to wear in New York where she’s promoting her new song “Fireball” with Nicki Minaj. Imagine having a celebrity stylist at the age of 11! Above, she’s leaving her New York hotel.

Apple Steve Jobs Style Thanks for the Memories

STEVE JOBS GAVE TECHNOLOGY BOTH FUNCTION AND DESIGN

Steve Jobs was more than just a brilliant CEO and billionaire – he gave us innovation AND style. Something sorely lacking in technology. We first fell in love with Apple products when these fruit colored computers came out – in blueberry, strawberry, tangerine, lime, and grape. Jobs proved that machines can be beautiful. We dumped our Dell computer and never looked back. (Above, Steve in 1999 with an early iBook portable computer) Check out this old Apple iMac computer commercial.

Dita Von Teese Shopping Style

DITA VON TEESE: THE GIRL CAN’T HELP IT

Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News

This is how Dita Von Teese looks when she goes shopping at Fred Segal and Vivienne Westwood on Melrose Ave. Perfection. We have never seen her in the same outfit twice, but she’s not as high maintenance as you might think – Dita says she does her OWN hair and makeup every day! The only thing missing from this picture is an appropriate car – Dita should drive a vintage Cadillac Coupe de Ville or a Lincoln Continental.

Fashion Jaden Smith Mariel Haenn Rihanna Style Willow Smith

JADEN AND WILLOW SMITH ARE GETTING THEIR OWN FASHION LINE

Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News

No WONDER Jaden Smith and his sister Willow are always dressed in the height of kid fashion! It so happens they have the same stylist as Rihanna! Hence the creative hairstyles and leather pants. Mariel Haenn is the woman responsible for Rhianna’s extraordinary stage attire and off camera apparel as well. She is probably one of the best paid and most famous stylists around, and she doesn’t have many clients under 12. However the Smith kids may pay off in a big – and inevitable – way – she’s working to develop a clothing line with them. So if the movie business doesn’t work out, they’ve got something “to fall back on.”

Fashion Hair! Lady Gaga Make up Style

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN LADY GAGA GIVES HER STYLIST A DAY OFF

Never in a million years did Lady Gaga think she’d be recognized when she went out for coffee in Los Angeles. She obviously took a day off from fashion because she looks more like a K-Mart shopper than a pop star- and her shorts aren’t even zipped! This look clearly illustrates how dependant Gaga is on her hair and makeup people and stylist. When she realized she had been photographed, she leaped into her waiting Rolls Royce.
