When- not if, when- Marina Diamandis enters your life, you'd better make room in your closet AND your iTunes library. The Welsh singer burst upon the music scene a few years ago as Marina & the Diamonds and has stayed busy since, thanks to DIY pop singles like "Obsessions" and "Mowgli's Road." Now with two full-length albums to her name and a headlining tour underway, the 27-year-old songbird has earned a cult following for her music AND her entirely original style. She sports onstage staples like old-school cheerleading jackets, metallic minidresses, and flouncy skirts, conjuring up images of a fashion love child between Gwen Stefani and Katy Perry...if they decided to move to Pleasantville, that is (shout out to Assistant Editor Gaby Wilson for the spot-on style reference!). Marina's been working serious beauty game these days too, rarely seen without bubblegum pink lipstick, major mascara, and her trademark miniature heart on her left cheekbone. So it's only appropriate that she shows off all of this for the October/November issue of Foam magazine.

Has Katy Perry officially (or *achem* L'Officiel-ly *ba dum TSH*) rounded out the hair rainbow yet? The orange hair she's sporting for the cover (and inside spread!) of L'Officiel magazine has to put her pretty close, right? Throughout the course of the last 365 days, we've seen Katy Perry go from pink to a brief flirtation with blonde only to go back to pink then to BLUE then purple and now she's back to trusty old black. BUT nowhere in that sequence of hair colors did we see Katy rock this particular shade of naranja. And the texture of her hair looks kinda natural, as in maybe not a wig! What gives?

Iggy Azalea Gives Double The Drama For 'Flavor' Magazine

We don't know what exactly it is about Iggy Azalea that makes us go completely insane. Like, whenever we see a picture of her we need to stop and stare at it for a few seconds (OK, minutes) longer than we should until it gets to that point where we feel creepy. And then Flavor magazine comes along and drops their September/October issue with Iggy on the front with not one, but TWO different covers, and it completely does us in. I mean, WUT. TWO AMAZING PICS OF IGGY TO STARE AT. Cue the sweating. For her first look, she went all-out goth in a killer wide-leg black jumpsuit with a cut-out bustier paired with a long, embellished coat worn as a cape. She BA-ROUGHT her accessories game by slipping on piles of bangles, studded rings, and silver chokers. For a pop of color, she sported fire engine red matte lipstick with her signature cat eye and high ponytail. PERF.

Emma Watson Is A Classic British Beauty In T Magazine

Emma Watson brings a youthful freshness to classic British style.

Remember when Emma Watson cut her hair? Just in case you've forgotten: in 2010, the actress chopped off her long locks into a sleek, mod pixie, marking the end of the Harry Potter era. Two years have passed, now, and we're gearing up to watch Ms. Watson in a starring role in The Perks of Being A Wallflower, which comes out exactly one month from tomorrow, and we're so excited (can you tell?)! The actress is the T Magazine, The New York Times' Style Magazine's, Fall 2012 cover girl, in a spread that plays off of her English roots in tweeds, suits, and hunting caps, while also showing off the nuanced edge that Watson has made a name for herself for. Wearing an Armani jacket, Burberry Prorsum hat, Isabel Marant Sweater and Harry Winston earrings, Watson looks perfectly prepared for a day out on the moors, although her black, double winged eyeliner adds a high fashion tension to the otherwise classically androgynous look. The overall beauty look for the shoot is clean and bright, although completely appropriate for fall. Watson's fresh, clear skin is flawless, and her light freckles are allowed to come through. The heavy, timeless cat eye is used in all of the shots, sometimes with two wings, other times in its 1960's incarnation as in the magazine's cover image, which you can see after the jump.

Azealia Banks Leaves The Internet Speechless With 'Dazed & Confused' Cover

Posted 8/15/12 2:09 pm EST by Maud Deitch in Covers

It was the gasp heard round the internet last week, when word started to spread that Azealia Banks' Dazed & Confused cover was going to be banned in seven countries. Seven! That's just madness. More mad than that, even, was the fact that when all this hullabaloo was going on hardly anyone, besides the people at Dazed themselves, had actually even seem the cover. Needless to say, our minds began to wander, and with the little bit of information that we had (pink phallice, "held up like a cigar"), we were left without too many words besides, "I wonder when we'll see it." Not to say that we're easily scandalized, or at all precious with our lady rap stars. Indeed, Azealia has a tendency towards evocative, sexualized lyrics, so it's only appropriate that she would carry over her performance persona into her press presence. When the cover was finally revealed, lurid, fuchsia condom "cigar" and all, we have to say we kind of dug it. Sure, it's a little bit, um, squirm inducing and we probably wouldn't want to read it around our grandma (we already saw Black Swan with her and that was awk enough for our whole lives, thanks), but Azealia looks totally mermaid-ilicious in a Balmain vest and seapunk-seafoam locks that we can't stop staring at.

Azealia Banks And Diplo Cover 'VIBE' Magazine's Juice Issue

Helloooo, new music power duo alert! We've already gotten wind of Azealia Banks and Diplo's double explosion of hip hop amazingness a few months ago, when Azealia dropped her Diplo-produced track at a Chanel event in Tokyo. Now they've joined forces again, this time around sharing the spotlight on the cover of VIBE. It actually makes total sense, considering how much these two have in common; besides securing some prime music chart real estate, the pair has also emerged as the fashion world's newest music darlings. They've both repped downtown designer Alexander Wang in ad campaigns and stylish vids (Azealia's the newest face, whereas Diplo showed off his own good looks a few seasons back), and we can always count on their rad personal style to kill it both onstage and off.

Lady Gaga's September 'VOGUE' Cover Is Here!

FINALLY! Lady Gaga's been dropping hints about her new September VOGUE cover ever since we reported wayyy back in the summer that she was confirmed to grace the glossy. Now the wait is over...and let's just say it was totally worth it. She debuted the photos via Twitter last night, and they.are.amazing. Honestly, we weren't sure what to expect-would she work a similar cropped bob and severe makeup as her last VOGUE cameo? Would she channel her Bride alias like she did for L'Uomo Vogue? Turns out Mother Monster did a total 180, showing off her glam hourglass figure in a violet Marc Jacobs gown and sky-high blonde hair. Gaga's muse for her look? She said last night of the cover, "I'm totally channeling fozzibear," and also "Who else sees me channeling Ru Paul on the cover of VOGUE." Hey, if there's ANYONE who can turn a Muppett and a drag queen into a high fashion mashup, it's Gaga.

Gwen Stefani Plays Opposites For 'Harper's Bazaar'

Chalk it up to her SoCal upbringing or unofficial membership to the boys' club (which you get when you're the only girl in an all-dude band), but Gwen Stefani doesn't normally do pink. Black tank tops? Sure. Baggy printed pants? Obviously. But Barbie pink? Not so much. However, the musician, designer and mom goes high fashion in the new issue of Harper's Bazaar, working designers like Oscar De La Renta, Alexander McQueen, and Jil Sander, and, not so shockingly, totally kills it. This is the lady who singlehandedly convinced us to buy an animal print suit, after all. But proving that she hasn't ditched her low-maintenance roots entirely, Gwen completes the couture dresses with a messy topknot and gorgeous, everyday makeup. See?! In this case, opposites really DO attract.

Miley Cyrus Stuns As 'Marie Claire' September Cover Girl

Before we get started, let's give you a minute to pop your eyeballs back into your skull. Truthfully, have you ever seen Miley Cyrus look sooooo #FASHUN as in this Marie Claire September issue cover shoot? This is not to say that the girl doesn't look fashionable every day because that's just wholly untrue. Miley is one of the most fashion-forward PYTs in the game, early-adopting trends with reckless abandon and 100% KILLING THEM. We just mean we just had the wind knocked out of us by the happy amalgamation of this costume jewel encrusted Christian Dior frock, the side-swept tousled bob, and the expert-status broken-down doll Miley is giving that would bring a tear to Miss J. Alexander's eye.

It's no secret that we at MTV Style are head-over-heels in love with Kreayshawn. I mean, what's not to love, y'all? A great eye for style, killer eyeliner skills, swag pumping out her ovaries, and, oh yea, she's been IMMORTALIZED in BAPEd-out fashion! We told you the BAPE x Kreayshawn limited edition tees were on their way, but that's not where the streetwear meets Oakland rapper collisions end. i-D magazine caught up with Kreay during a visit to the London flagship store, shot some video and photos, and thankfully, shared the wealth with the Interwebz.
