Frank Ocean

It's been a long time coming, but as of this morning in Paris, Frank Ocean has officially attended his first fashion show! *wild chorus of "AWWWWwwww"s* The real story here, though, is that the Grammy award-winning singer didn't just make his sartorial society debut, he did it sitting front row at this Paris Fashion Week's most anticipated show: Christian Dior. Never one for fashion theatrics, Frank kept his look simple with the crispest, most immaculate white button-up worn over slim but still loose trousers. His accessories were minimal, too, with a black leather band, rectangular face watch, one white earring in the shape of a wide chevron, and a pair of what appear to be trusty black and royal Jordan 1s.

Justin Bieber

Happy 19th birthday, Justin Bieber!

WHAT. How is it already Justin Bieber's 19th birthday?? It feels like just yesterday I was watching him ride Segways around Madison Square Garden, inter-cut with vintage kidrauhl footage. (MAYBE because I re-watched Never Say Never earlier this week, but I digress...) On the same tip, it also feels like I was JUST heralding the onslaught of Bieber's new adult chapter after turning 18. In so many ways, this is pretty indicative of how weird turning 19 is. For everyone, not just international pop stars. It's all very "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman." Or, you know, "boy" and "man" in Bieber's case.

You just made your adult debut at 18, but this is your last year as a teenager. Magazines are swaddling you in "swaggy adult" menswear, but off the clock, you're celebrating your birthday with no shirt and honestly are barely wearing pants. Don't get us wrong; we're definitely not complaining. We just know there comes a time in every dreamy teen idol's career that they shed the togs of their youth and slip into a pair of chinos. But like, really, really good ones. In honor of this final leg of Justin's teenage years, here are 19 outfits the dude probably won't be able to get away with after this year. ENJOOOOOYYYYYY!

Odd Future

Nothing makes me pine for spring (and summer!) harder than a short-sleeved button-up shirt covered in hot air balloons. Also, heart-shaped sunglasses, but those aren't actually part of the Odd Future collection. New England readers beware, you're in for some serious coast envy. The OFWGKTA hip-hop collective (which also maintains a rapidly growing streetwear line and shop based on Los Angeles' infamous Fairfax Avenue) has just released a brand spankin' new lookbook for the Spring/Summer 2013 collection. The photo series stars Lionel, Lucas, and more of OF's closest friends modeling OF's newest togs, from this here balloon woven shirt to the classic cat-emblazoned designs (like this Trash Wang tee) that we've grown to know and love.

Honestly, how many tattoos is Justin Bieber going to get? I know this is very "Kids these days!" and "Get off my lawn!" and *shakes balled-up fist at the sky*, but come on, man. As MTV Style's resident Bieber Stan and (self-proclaimed) expert, I feel like I'm throwing up alerts about Justin's new ink at least once a month. Actually, now that I'm looking back, I pretty much HAVE been writing about Bieber's tattoos once-a-month since last September (with the exception of November which was all about Harry Styles' new avian chest tatt). February officially ends tomorrow, but Bieber has just made me an honest woman (as far as my conjectures about my coverage of his body art, that is), eking one out before the month closes: a giant serif "X" on his forearm.

Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook

Not only did Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook make waves on the court by leading their Oklahoma City Thunder team straight to the 2012 NBA Finals against the Miami Heat, the dynamic duo made names for themselves as bonafide style stars by way of their head-turning post-game ensembles off the hardwood. Now, in this second month of 2013, KD and Russ are getting the Vogue treatment with shoots in Teen Vogue and L'Uomo Vogue, respectively.

There's an unmistakable new attitude toward fashion in the world of sports. No longer is having an interest in, let alone a flair for, style a fringy, sourly regarded thing. Athletes are embracing fashion, and the fashion world, in turn, is reciprocating. In no sport is that more wide-spread at the moment than basketball, and with the season inching closer and closer to the NBA Playoffs (kicking off in a little over a month), editorial outlets are picking up steam on their hoops coverage, shining style spotlights on the league's best and brightest.

We're intimately aware of Mr Porter's knack for creating swoon-worthy, productivity-annihilating dude-fashion editorials, but this latest shoot with A$AP Rocky really takes the cake. The world already knows that Rocky is a pretty mother...y'know as are SO many of Mr Porter's other subjects (see Paul Wesley, Douglas Booth, and Matthew Gray Gubler for further proof), but the Harlem-native's shoot is a welcome change of pace for the men's style destination. Where most Mr Porter subjects skew kind of conservative — crewneck cable knits, classic chinos, nautical stripes — Rocky embraces trends, adopts them early, and wears them devastatingly well.

Harry Styles

Discussing and dissecting each and every little strand on Harry Styles' perfectly coiffed head is well-tread territory on the interwebs these days, but you know what's rare? Actually getting the secret to the One Direction singer's shaggy moptop, which is why we're sharing this VERY IMPORTANT NEWS to you guys. Emily Weiss of the beauty site Into The Gloss ran into Harry (!) unexpectedly at a London Fashion Week event where he was DJing to practically ZERO crowd— we know, we can't believe it either— and did what any self-respecting journalist would do: freak out silently in a dark corner and then summon the courage to talk to him. We're glad she did, because in that brief encounter, she managed to pry as much info as she could about his beauty "routine" (if you can call it that?), as well as pass on lots of major stuff like what happens when one takes a picture with Harry Styles. Intrigued? See what we learned after the jump!

Style universe, help us give up a rousing welcome to the newest celebrity accessory trend and every paparazzo's biggest nightmare: full-face masks. On his recent trip to London, Justin Bieber joined the ranks of fellow face-shielders Kanye West, A$AP Rocky, and Tyler, The Creator with this here black GAS MASK he wore to go shopping at ACNE. Taking the murdered out all-black-everything look to the extreme, Biebsy rolled up to the Swedish label's London boutique wearing (toe to top) patent leather dress shoes, slim fit leather pants, a black tank top, a zip-up minimalist leather jacket, and was accessorized with the aforementioned full-face respirator, a black Brooklyn Nets snapback, and his go-to Jesus piece.

Jared Leto back tattoo

BIG NEWS: after teasing us on Twitter practically nonstop over the past 24 hours, Jared Leto has revealed his brand new back tattoo! The actor and 30 Seconds to Mars frontman made a deal with his followers yesterday, saying that he would unveil his latest ink once he reached 1 million, and well, it happened. Mere minutes ago. That was quick! (Um, NOT that we were refreshing our Jared Leto Twitter tab, or anything...). He posted the photo of himself facing backwards against a stark blue background this morning, saying "I made you a promise when I hit one million followers. Thank you all! xo" No Jared, thank YOU.

DJ Yung Skeeter.

The DJ formerly known as Skeet Skeet, who now goes by Yung Skeeter, a moniker which I highly endorse, is, for a lack of better words/not enough coffee, THE BOMB. Yeah, I went there. How else do you describe the LA-based dude with a penchant for getting the cool kids in a downright tizzy by blasting TLC classics and other immaculate gems? Oh! He’s also Katy Perry’s BFF. He’s toured the world “playin arenas 'n' s***” as the kitten lover’s main spinning machine. NBD or anything. Another fun fact: the last time I kicked it with Skeeter, he was rocking a Cher concert t-shirt. *Faints in traffic, dies* So, I daaaare y’all to come up with a more appropriate adjective for the hottie. Until then, I’m gonna go ahead and stick with "the-bomb-dot-com". Let me also emphasize that the super talented Yung Skeeter is responsible for giving me multiple eargasms, for which I’m quite thankful. Did I also mention we are both wild Sagittarius’ who share the same b-day? There’s that, too. *Hair flip* Today’s a good day at MTV Style, because yep, the best remix-er on the planet (and who I totally believe will be a soon-to-be Grammy Award-winning producer) is today’s Favorite Things-er. Sartorial spoiler alert: He didn’t shout out the aforementioned Cher amazingness of a t-shirt, but he did give love to his Drake bootleg t-shirt, which I’d like to borrow and never return.

I love these two as a couple. What a festive way to celebrate two important events in their life. Mariah looks like a dream.
