Rihanna has already teased a few images from her forthcoming River Island collaboration on Instagram, but today, we got to see the pieces in action.



In this clip, originally posted on Vogue UK's website, models flit in and out of the the pop star's design studio, while she expounds on fashion.

"Every time I saw something on a rack there was something I wanted to do to it to change it," Rihanna says.

So, judging by the clothes in the clip, when she saw a t-shirt, she probably thought, "Hmm, that would look much better if it were completely backless."

And when she saw a tank top, she was like, "Needs more side-boob."

And when she saw a girl in a black skirt, with a denim jacket tied around her waist, she thought, "What is the point of being able to untie that jacket, and put it on?"

But, the most intriguing article of clothing in this clip is still just a sketch.

SAG Awards 2013 Red Carpet - Who They Wore!

The SAG Awards may love actors, but they don't necessarily show the same love for fashion. At the 19th annual celebration of all things thespian, some stars shone in simple column dresses or beautifully embellished standouts. (We're looking at you, Kerry Washington.) Jessica Chastain also cooked in her own hotness, thanks to a red-hot dress that matched her fiery hair.

But not every star sizzled. Yes, Jennifer Lawrence, who can do no wrong, managed to make pneumonia look like just another accessory, thanks to a top-notch glam squad and a fabulous look by Christian Dior. But then came Amanda Seyfried, who nearly drowned in a giant sea anemone of a dress, while January Jones picked a hair-raising look that's still giving us the willies.

Justin Timberlake & Jay-Z Get Suited for New Video!

Jay-Z and JT are on their suit and tie sh-t!

Last week, a few folks were disappointed when a lyric video to Justin Timberlake’s comeback single, “Suit & Tie” circulated the net and only included Justin Timberlake. Apparently, that was just a prequel and both guys will be in the final version.

The two fellas were spotted goofing off in shirts and ties earlier today while filming scenes for the upcoming visual in LA.

Meanwhile, it’s been almost a year since Jay appeared in a music video. This should be epic…

Catch a few pics, plus JT’s lyric video below:

Kanye West Wears Mask To Margiela Paris Fashion Week Show

Photo: Splash News

Soooo are masks Kanye West's new thing or is the bright red balaclava he wore to Maison Martin Margiela's Paris Haute Couture show last night just his way of trying to beat the cold? We know it's skin-crackingly frigid over here on the East Coast, but this knit face-covering seems a little extreme for the cool 34°F (not even below freezing!!!) the City of Lights caught last night. This meteorological knowledge plus Ye's recent history with masks lead us to believe only one thing: Kanye wore this cherry red ski mask in the name of FASHUN.

In previous post (KANYE WEST DONS DIAMOND FACE MASK!) Kanye has become very fond of the face mask aplique. What do you think of Kanye West's new mask and do you think face-coverings are his new thing? Let us know in the comments below!

The EXACT Nail Polish From Chanel's Couture Show Is Available Now!

Unless you're good ol' chums with Karl Lagerfeld, it's pretty darn near impossible to get your hands on the polishes from Chanel's runway shows immediately—it usually takes several months, if ever, for the coveted colors to hit shelves.

But lucky for us, some nail polish fairy Godmother far, far away heard our cries (or you know salespeople, either/or) and somehow the exact hue from yesterday's Chanel's Couture Spring/Summer 2013 show—Emprise, a pretty neutral coral—is available now!

The polish is part of Chanel's limited edition "Precieux Printemps Trio" collection ($27 each), which also includes Accessoire (a burnished brick red) and Fracas (a tangy pink).

So ladylike, no? They're certainly a refreshing departure from spring's typical brights and pastels—and definitely much more wearable than, say, the hungover-beauty-queen-esque hair and makeup look from the couture show.

Kim K Sits Front Row at Paris Show, Is Not Amused

Kim K's face sits so naturally, in a high-brow moment!

Kim Kardashian is a Stephane Rolland loyalist, so naturally she was perched front row for the designer's Spring 2013 couture show. She wore a concealing black-and-white ensemble consisting of a crisp turtleneck, draped cape, long leather gloves, and a furry purse.

Despite her uber-luxurious attire and the prestige of sitting front row at a couture show in Paris, Ms. Kardashian looked none too pleased. Perhaps, she was just missing her rapper baby daddy who usually joins her for these high-fashion occasions. Or maybe she thought Paz Vega was trying to copy her swagger in a suspiciously similar outfit. Whatever the case, enjoy her elegant look and particularly fab footwear in the pics below.

Benetton's Latest Campaign Stars Lea T., Alek Wek, and More [VIDEO]

Benetton included something really groundbreaking in their new campaign — actual clothes! While the retailer's ads are always thought provoking — remember the one with Barack Obama smooching Hu Jintao? — they rarely feature anything that's actually for sale.

(Courtesy of Benetton)

To model said clothes, Benetton tapped nine creative types, like Givenchy muse and transgender advocate Lea T., models Alek Wek and Charlotte Free, and British boxing champ Dudley O'Shaughnessy (you might recognize him from Rihanna's "We Found Love" video).

Oh, hello there.

Each model also filmed a short segment for brand, and we learned some fun facts about Benetton's new faces. Like, did you know Alek Wek refers to herself in the third person?




And, were you aware that Charlotte Free has synesthesia? We wonder what goes through her mind when she sees the color pink.



And the gorgeous, Dudley!

Second time's a charm, right? First Lady Michelle Obama chose a red gown by New York based designer Jason Wu for the 2013 Inaugural Ball—the second time in as many inaugurations that the First Lady has selected a gown by the up-and-coming young designer.

Tonight, @AlinaChoCNN tweeted this image, below—the original sketch Wu made of Mrs. Obama's custom-made crimson halter-neck. Take a look for yourself:

It reads, in handwriting on the right, from top—Gold embellished ring, Draped chiffon w/texture, Red dye to match duchess satin belt, and Column skirt. The sketch is signed by Jason Wu.
