OK, so we ALREADY had a mild freakout when Selena Gomez's June InStyle cover finally hit our eyeballs last week—but you guys, the "Come & Get It" singer isn't through with her InStyle takeover just yet! In this brand new video, the magazine goes behind the scenes of the photoshoot and gets the scoop on her personal style and unexpected shopping obsessions, straight from Sel herself! She dishes on her favorite look from the spread, that amaze patterned Kenzo ensemble above, which she loves because it's SO different from her normal steez. "I never do prints in my personal style or red carpet, so I thought it would be fun for me to do prints for this," she spills in the clip, "I always like to change it up for different photoshoots."

Prom season is officially in full swing, and by now, the message should be coming through loud and clear: there's NO one right way to do prom. You could rock a short dress, you could go ultra-glam, hey, you can even go as a hamburger if you wanted...but leave it to Nasty Gal to show us some of the coolest options yet. If you know NG, then you already know that Sophia Amoruso & co. have never really done things the traditional way. Luckily, the retailer's "break all the rules" philosophy applies to their newest lookbook as well, aptly titled "Anti-Prom." Stocked with tons of dresses (duh), plus unexpected pieces like spiky stud accessories, leather jackets, and even bright blue creepers, this is prom like you've never seen it before (and it's awesome).

Jessica Chastain, Kiernan Shipka And More Are Best Dressed At The 2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards

Posted 1/28/13 12:15 am EST by Liza Darwin in Awards Shows, Red Carpet

If you tuned into the 2013 Screen Actors Guild Awards tonight, then you caught all the adorable stories from stars about their pre-fame days when they first nabbed that game-changing SAG card. But besides Jennifer Lawrence shouting out MTV in her Best Actress acceptance speech (she got her big break in a teaser for My Super Sweet 16) and the mutual lovefest happening in Hollywood's Shrine Auditorium, the SAG Awards also marks the important final push toward coveted Oscar glory. This rush to the finish line was reflected on the red carpet as well, with some of our favorite ladies pulling out all the stops in straight-from-the-runway gowns. From bubblegum pink to a navy moment to a 13-year-old giving us major closet envy (Kiernan, we're talking about you!), we saw it all. And now, we've filtered through and picked our very best dressed of the night in our Top Ten below!

Give it up for flame-haired beauty Jessica Chastain to prove there's NO such thing as red overload, even when you're strutting down, yes, a red carpet. The Zero Dark Thirty star and everybody's one to watch this season was a complete stunner in her crimson McQueen gown. The sweetheart neckline is complemented by satin folds at the top, and this striking cherry hue perfectly offsets Jessica's porcelain skin and deep side part (not to mention her ridic Harry Winston necklace!). Immediately after she stepped into the spotlight Twitter basically EXPLODED with comparisons between her ensemble and infamous cartoon vixen Jessica Rabbit, and we're not arguing it one bit. See the resemblance?

Adidas Originals x Jeremy Scott Spring 2013 Features Totem Poles, Leopards, And Billiards

Leave it to Mr. Jeremy Scott to make our Monday morning feel like a Friday. Seriously! We might still be rubbing our eyes and downing the coffee right now, but the New York designer is giving us a major wakeup call. He's just dropped his newest collection for adidas Originals, and, as expected, it's a high-energy jolt of head-scratching, eye-popping, sit-up-and-pay-attention fun. Whereas last time Scott took cues from a '90s kid wonderland with (more) teddy bears and paper dolls, this season it's allllll about expanding your cultural horizons. Jumping off those totem sneakers, expect dresses, tracksuits, and tops splashed with the print. Oh, and the jacket? It has WINGS ATTACHED (see above). Minds=blown.

Uh oh, Kanye…A$AP Rocky's creeping on your kilt game! Just this morning the rapper dropped the new video for “LONG.LIVE.A$AP,” the title track off his forthcoming album. And yep, he’s wearing some slick bottoms throughout the clip that are decidedly NOT pants….and we’re not mad about it, either. The kilts are just a few of several outfits A$AP rocks in the majestic black-and-white vid, where he spends much of his time chilling on the throne, golden grin and all. These royal references and creepy castle setting kind of remind us of his King Arthur-themed shoot a while back for Complex, but before we even go there, we’ve GOTTA break down the clothes! So let's do this...

Azealia Banks Talks Favorite Designers, Role Models In Beats By Dr. Dre Video

You think you know...but you have no idea. OK, so the line may have been borrowed from the early aughts TV show Diary (RIP), but you know what? The same thing could also be said for Azealia Banks and her new vid for Beats By Dr. Dre. As the newest member of the #beatsarmy, the Harlem rapper talks music icons, fave fashion designers, plus the real story behind her upcoming debut Broke With Expensive Taste ...and her answers aren't exactly what you'd expect. Clad in denim, platform boots, and a graphic red top, AZ says she doesn't want her album to be pigeonholed into a specific genre— rather, she's just going for authenticity, pure and simple. And although she claims that she doesn't have a particular musical inspiration, Azealia tells us she's taking cues from Beyonce in her personal AND professional life. "She's just so well-mannered and classy and well-poised. It's important to have those kinds of skills." Amen! Another interesting tidbit we gleaned from the 2-minute clip: Azealia's favorite designer is "boyishly feminine, clean, and really high quality." Who is it? Let's just say it's a FAR cry from seapunk. Place your bets...

Justin Bieber knows his sneakers. Whether he's wearing studded Supras, gold Skytop IIs or swanky suede YSL, he has enough sneaker swag to convince even the MOST high heel-obsessed girls that they need a pair of identical kicks. Let's face it: the Bieber effect is in overdrive, and it's not going anywhere anytime soon. So in a totally genius move, Justin's just signed on with the adidas NEO brand as its newest "Global Style Icon." This means that the singer will rep the sneaker and lifestyle brand starting in 2013, including fronting ad campaigns, making personal appearances, AND a top-secret project that Biebs hints at below. What do you think it is?!

Maybe it's the lingering shopping high from stalking Beyonce's amazing road trip outfits earlier this week, but not lying- we've got travel on the brain. So blame it on this newfound wanderlust, but once we spotted Rihanna looking absolutely killer walking through the Tokyo airport yesterday, we HAD to find out where to cop her streetwear-heavy travel look. Luckily, thanks to our internet sleuthing skills and speedy fingers, we've tracked down Riri's amazing t-shirt, jacket, sneakers and even sunglasses faster than you can say "boarding pass." Now the hard part? Deciding where to go on our next vacation. In the meantime, find out how to get Rihanna's outfit below!

Miss Info Rocks Neon And Nail Art On 'Hip Hop Squares'

If it was the pop culture trivia (and Kat Graham’s amazing tropical dress) that first hooked us onto MTV2’s new series Hip Hop Squares, then Miss Info is here to officially reel us in. The New York-based radio personality is the special guest on the second episode of the show, showing off her rad personal style alongside fellow stars Fat Joe and DJ Khaled. In the sneak peek of tonight’s clip, the Hot 97 host wears a neon red-orange sleeveless blouse with black skinny jeans. Simple, right? Wrong. It might seem like a basic outfit, but look closely and you’ll see that all the eye-popping awesomeness is in the details, like the tiny studs on the shirt collar, her heart-shaped pendants, and her soft smoky eye. "I'm wearing a Zara shirt," Minya told MTV Style, "I've figured out the science of how not to look like a bloated, moon-faced zombie on TV. Wear garish reds, oranges, golds and pinks. Sometimes all at once but always in a structured top." She elaborates on the "structured" bit, adding, "Never go for strappy tank tops because that makes top-heavy gals look like porkers. And semi-'professional' *wink wink* And finally, always opt for a V-neck. It's the key to letting 'the girls' in on the action. They want to be involved and just want to help." LOLZ. Luh her.

Trend To Try: Fingernail Rings!

Seriously, our jewelry box is getting out of control here, you guys. It reached overflow status about a year ago, and now that we've added yet another obsession to add to our stash, we're going to have to call in for backup. Check out these brilliant fingernail rings, courtesy of online shop Gwaan. The basic version gets the Honey, I Shrunk The Kids treatment with these miniatures that won't slip past your first knuckle (an even smaller version of the midi rings, if you can believe it...). Lady Gaga's done it, Rihanna's worn them, so isn't it about time we hop on board? (not that we really needed a reason to try...)
