The fashion world welcomes 2013 by stepping out in more ways than one!

+ Rihanna bikes in the woods, frolics on the beach, and trots around on a horse in a tourism commercial for her native Barbados. HIP HIP, on an iiiisland in the sunnn...

+ Clover Canyon's Spring '13 collection positively STUNS with near kaleidoscopic colors and prints that channel the alfresco beauty of the brand's California home. Each piece leaves something to unpack, but is still so wearable and we wish we had a billion $$$ to buy it all.

+ It might not be a cliff in the outdoorsy sense, but you've likely heard the term "fiscal cliff" floating around for a few weeks. What does it mean for the fashion world? (Also, just what does it mean, period?)

In 2012, House of Style co-hosts Joan Smalls and Karlie Kloss became bonafide mainstays on the pages of the fashion’s heaviest-hitting publications. Karlie and Joan are individual powerhouses, but this year they really became a gruesome twosome. We'd like to think that House of Style solidified their BFFL status, but other iconic moments together included storming the runway at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and landing individual covers for W Magazine's July issue. With a glowing (and growing) CV, it comes as no surprise that BOTH Karlie and Joan ranked among Vogue's top 10 featured models for 2012.

Here at MTV Style, we're not under any pretense that the fashion world is shy. But this week it seems like no one wants to hold their tongue!

"Image is powerful" is a statement that is as undeniable as it is ubiquitous. How we perceive and how we are perceived by others drives much of what we do.

Well, believe it or not, we turn to a supermodel! Not long after sweeping the runway in America’s most-watched fashion show, Victoria’s Secret model Cameron Russell decided to trade lingerie for lectures.

Anna Delegates?

Kate Middleton

Black Friday was all about price cuts. This week, however, the fashion world is cutting more than costs!

Fresh Cut
Kate Middleton got BANGS, y'all!...Or at least that's what everyone's calling them. They're more like side-swept angled layers. But that's just not as news-worthy.
{via InStyle}

Diamond Cut
Bulgari on Fifth Avenue furnished its holiday windows with a brilliant, weaving, sparkling SERPENT. This wasn't your average spooky snake, however--thousands of LED bulbs made it look like the iconic diamond necklace slithering across the storefront. So. damn. frosty.

Short Cut
Attention ASOS customers aka every fashion-y girl ever: you can now access Covetique, a site that sells previously-owned and politely-discounted designer clothes through ASOS! We're talking Alexander McQueen, Gucci, Chanel. Dead.

Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry

Remember way back in 2010 when Snoop Lion was still a Dogg? When he and Katy Perry teamed up for the "California Gurls" video to virtually choke us with confection? When that CUPCAKE BRA made history? Well, KP's all-candy-everything steez is NOT running unopposed. Nicki Minaj stopped by BET's 106 & Park earlier this week to promote her new "Freedom" video in a cupcake bra HERSELF, and, naturally, we're calling on YOU to tell us who you think wore it better!

Katy Perry

Katy Perry is really into floor-length florals lately.
Photo: Getty Images

Katy Perry has forged a fashion reputation of being predictably unpredictable. A quick mental ransacking of KP’s sartorial history recalls, among other things, spandex, HOTT pants, transient hair styles, cupcake purses, retro pin-up girl/Rosie the Riveter homages, a BATTERY PACK or two, and blizzards of sparkle, sprinkle, furbelow, and fluff. Despite the general glitterbomb that is Katy Perry's style evolution, we MIGHT *pump the brakes* be sensing a bit of a calm! As of late, the candy-coated "California Gurls" songstress has been committed to a slightly more refined, floor-length floral look. Not exactly business as usual, amirite?
