Could Agyness Deyn get any cuter? It's really ridiculous. If you have any doubts about the white haired model's complete and utter adorability, look no further than Rebecca Minkoff's new spring/summer2012 viral video. Featuring Agyness full of smiles, dancing around in the hazy summer sun, the clip is a perfect compliment to the collection, which mixes neon accessories, sheer maxi dresses, bright prints and crop tops. We're putting that blazer on our wish list immediately, and would kill for those lace-up high-top leather espadrilles (my birthday is in August, if you're taking notes). Agyness twirls and hops and wiggles along to a new track from Blaqstarr's upcoming album Here We Are, which is coming out in the fall. The song, called "She is Love," has warm weather hit written all over it, with a hand-clap beat, shimmery keyboards and a chorus that get’s stuck in your head on the very first listen.

The secret's out! Lana Del Rey and Azealia Banks have revealed their dates to the highly-anticipated Met Gala (which is exactly one week away!), and *GASP* they're two of our FAVE designers. Earlier this year, J.Crew's creative director Jenna Lyons spilled the beans that she'd be hitting the red carpet with Lana Del Rey and Joseph Altuzarra, but Fashionista confirmed that it's actually JUST Lana and Joseph that are going together. Ooh la la! Azealia Banks revealed her date via Twitter (of course!) and said, "I can't wait for the MET ball! I'm going as Alexander Wang's date. He custom made my outfit and shoes ! !!!! It's soooo hot !" Wait, is this THE pair of shoes and dress she tweeted about awhile back? We hope so!

Betsey Johnson Files For Bankruptcy

In unexpected and totally #sadface fashion news, Betsey Johnson has filed for bankruptcy. WWD reports that the 34-year-old company will close most of its stores but will keep a few flagships open in New York City as well as a few other cities. This is DEVASTATING news, especially since the company planned to have 100 stores open in 22 states this year. Also, it's prom season. Betsey is the QUEEN of prom dresses! *deep breaths* I feel a slew of exclamation points coming on and am feeling faint at the prospect of never witnessing a triumphant Betsey cartwheel-to-splits display down the New York Fashion Week runway ever again. Thankfully, all is not lost...

Did you know that it was National Princess Week? Neither did we, and it's already Friday! What does this mean? Well, we have some celebrating to do in the name of princesses everywhere.

Christian Louboutin just announced via WWD that he will design a pair of glass slippers in honor of the Blu-Ray and DVD rerelease of Walt Disney's Cinderella this summer. Whatever will these "magic touch" creations look like?

Rihanna has been honored in the company of a list of major heavy-weights for TIME's 100 Most Influential People in the World. Surrounded by the likes of Tim Tebow, Kristen Wiig, and Pete Cashmore among many MANY more makes for some preeeetty excellent company, not to mention her featured essay is written by friend and fashion designer Stella McCartney. Of RiRi, McCartney says, "She's one of the coolest, hottest, most talented, most liked, most listened to, most followed, most impressive artists at work today, but she does it in her own stride. She works hard, very hard. She gives to her fans, friends and foundation not just herself but her energy and spirit." It's no wonder she has not only colossal musical success, but also has brands knocking down her door to front their campaigns. I mean, the girl has the power to boost clothing sales with a single television appearance, who knows what's in store for that upcoming fashion line.

Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way Ball' Giorgio Armani Tour Outfits Revealed!

And the countdown begins! Just one more week until Lady Gaga's Asia and Europe "Born This Way Ball" tour begins, and she'll be back in the limelight for all of us to "ooh" and "ahh" over once again. Lucky for us, we got hit with a Gaga-goes-on-tour present a little early—Giorgio Armani released sketches of her on-stage ensembles (!!!) so we can peep what Mother Monster will wear over the next few months. The obvious winner in all of Giorgio's looks is the keyboard and guitar mash-up headpiece. According to the press release, it's made out of "transparent Plexiglas, black crystals, and luminous studs" which creates "a Cubist composition of abstract guitars." Dang, Giorgio ain't playin, y'all. Her thigh-high boots are black vinyl (of course), but we only have one question: Where does her hair go? The second ensemble is an equally-interesting long, nude latex tunic which features "PVC elements [that] create flashes of synthetic light inside the garment." Wuuttt. The press release also said, "The same avant garde lighting is featured on the triangle decorating the chest, on the headpiece, and on the platform of the matching latex ankle boots." OMG, is Gaga giving Daft Punk's light-up helmets a run for their money?

Topshop Launching Bridal Collection Designed By Richard Nicoll

This just in: Topshop is releasing a line of wedding dresses designed by THE Richard Nicoll. Eeeee! One of our fave fashion-y retailers tweeted out the news last week, and now we can't stop thinking about all of the structured yet feminine pieces the designer has dreamed up!

Want to get married just so we can wear our @studio_nicoll bridal collection set to land in June. Can't give you a sneak peek but wow!

— Topshop (@Topshop) April 12, 2012

Richard even released pics on his blog of other wedding dresses he's created for his friends (see: here and here), and we have a SLIGHT inkling that he's really, really good at this. Also: FUN. Look at how his friend wore a full print of a woman's face on her gown. Amaze! We're SO stoked that more trendy retailers are coming out with bridal lines (our other fave being Anthropologie's BHLDN) because they're usually affordable and, dare we say, less gross than some other wedding gown mall staples. Topshop said they can't spill all the beans just yet, but the collection should hit stores sometime in June. That leaves you *checks calendar* two months to find a hubs. You better hurry!

Jean Paul Gaultier Speaks About Amy Winehouse-Inspired Collection

Remember Jean Paul Gaultier's Amy Winehouse-inspired spring/summer 2012 haute couture collection from just a few months ago? Of course, you do. It was colorful and beehived and wrapped up in a grip of controversy, specifically with Amy's father. Poppa Winehouse deemed it "in bad taste", taking to Twitter against JPG's collection. Gaultier has not commented much publicly about the collection or its surrounding controversy. That is, until now. In a recent interview with Vogue UK, the designer says, “I was surprised when she died that no one in fashion made an homage to her. Her look was fabulous, fantastic – it was unique. Usually, actresses and singers need fashion advice. She naturally had the right make-up, the right earrings – it was a truly a style. She didn’t just pick up one part of that look. And I love her voice, I love everything about her.”

The year 2012 is significant. Not only is there hoopla surrounding some sort of massive global shift, there's a presidential election on the horizon. As you might already know, President Barack Obama is up for reelection, and the fashion world—specifically Vogue editor Anna Wintour—wants to show emphatic support. Thus, in support of the Obama campaign, designers like Marc Jacobs and Prabal Gurung and multifaceted artists like Beyoncé and Diddy via his Sean John line have designed an affordable line of products called Runway to Win which features everything from t-shirts and tote bags to colorful scarves and patriotic nail polishes. What's more, they've put out a public call for guest designers (that means YOU!) to take part in the Runway to Win Design Challenge where one winner's design will be sold along with the designer collection. (#salute!) Oh, and did we mention there's also going to be a Chicago pop-up shop and full-on fashion event, too?

Jeremy Scott Teams Up With Nicki Minaj For Fall 2012 Adidas Campaign

Well, isn't THIS fun? It looks like our ol' fashion fave Jeremy Scott is shooting his fall 2012 Adidas campaign with Nicki Minaj as the star! Yassss. This news comes only a month after Katy Perry's Adidas debut, so we're guessing the designer has a serious soft spot for his pop stars. Jeremy Scott tweeted a photo of the rapper while shooting in NYC last week wearing his rainbow puffer jacket paired with hot pink tights and neon orange knee socks. She kept her beauty game simple with long, blonde strands and light pink lips. Sneaker Watch posted some exclusive photos of the duo shooting their campaign in the streets of New York City, and we're OB-SESSED with Nicki's multi-colored leopard and zebra print high-tops. Must. Have. Them. Now. Jeremy also wore a new, multi-patterned leopard, zebra, and cheetah print jacket from his fall Adidas line paired with brick-print pants from his own fall 2012 collection and lime green alligator (!!!) hiking boots. Killer! We can't wait to see this campaign in all it's glory, and, um, we'll be needing two pairs of those sneakers STAT.
