Soooo are masks Kanye West's new thing or is the bright red balaclava he wore to Maison Martin Margiela's Paris Haute Couture show last night just his way of trying to beat the cold? We know it's skin-crackingly frigid over here on the East Coast, but this knit face-covering seems a little extreme for the cool 34°F (not even below freezing!!!) the City of Lights caught last night. This meteorological knowledge plus Ye's recent history with masks lead us to believe only one thing: Kanye wore this cherry red ski mask in the name of FASHUN.

Justin Timberlake's 'Suit & Tie' Lyric Video: Look By Look

Posted 1/24/13 8:28 am EST by Gaby Wilson in Dudes, Music Videos

Welp, looks like Justin Timberlake got us again. In the wee hours of this Thursday morning, JT dropped the full version of his "Suit & Tie" lyric video not even a full day after taunting us with this delicious teaser. We were surprised as it was to see Timberlake actually starring in the lyric video (clad in swoon-worthy Tom Ford BTW), but the full version is way exceeding our expectations. While there's no Jay-Z cameo (and accordingly, JT would be right to save that for the official music video) nor is there a fitting room montage à la The Sweetest Thing, there are a HEFTY number of outfit changes. Thus, we're breaking this bad boy down look by look — our first lyric video!

BRINGING FEDORAS BACK

DAG NAB IT, JUSTIN. I thought we told you you didn't need fedoras anymore??? We suppose it's part of your signature steez, and it lends to the classic Sinatra/Rat Pack thing you're embodying both with your career and this song in particular, but man... Truthfully, you don't need them. In the same breath, you've definitely done worse, so I guess we'll suck this one up.

Justin Timberlake Wears Tom Ford In 'Suit And Tie' Lyric Video Teaser

We like to think of ourselves as a relatively insightful bunch here at MTV Style. Justin Timberlake drops a new single (his first solo dolo project since FutureSex/LoveSounds was released in 2006) called "Suit and Tie", and accordingly, we should expect whatever video comes with it will feature JT in a... *drumrollll* suit and tie! You don't need to be Nate Silver to predict that. And yet, we're STILL just as excited and slack-jawed and barely mustering up enough energy to fan ourselves with both hands to stall system overload from watching this 30-second teaser (JUST THE TEASER) of the "Suit and Tie" lyric video as if we had known nothing at all.

A$AP Rocky Shows Off His Styling Skills For Oki-Ni

Ever since A$AP Rocky stopped by MTV to talk fashion, our feelings for him have grown from straight-up crushin' to hardcore obsessed. We love the rapper for his fascination with designers and keen sense for couture, but when he stopped by menswear retailer Oki-Ni in London recently, he showed off a completely different side of his fashion knowledge—styling! Oki-Ni said, "As fans of his music will know, Raf Simons and Rick Owens are usually what he's dressed in, but on his recent visit to London we invited the New York rapper to try out a selection of other Oki-Ni brands including new SS13 pieces from Margiela, Kenzo and Paul Smith." Basically, A$AP styled and starred in his own shoot for the fashion retailer, and you can buy all his outfits directly on the site. AWESOME. While lounging in a bathtub (haaay) A$AP sports a Raf Simons floral top and black drop-crotch Rick Owens drawstring pants. In another look, he mixes prints by pairing a Maison Martin Margiela dotted shirt under a graphic Kenzo sweater. *fans self*

Justin Bieber Reveals Hilarious Bedhead Morning Hair

Maybe it's a little early in the week to be getting into SAT-style analogies, but I think it's pretty safe to say that Justin Bieber is to hair as, say, Tina Turner is to legs. I mean this in the sense that technically it's Bieber's golden pipes that are making him moolah, but his hair has been a kind of calling card since the golden days back when "Baby" was the most watched video on YouTube. It's such an iconic 'do that even after he's dyed it, gelled it, and shaped it, everyone STILL knows exactly what you're talking about when you say, "Bieber Hair." Truth be told, we watch his morphing tresses with hawk-like focus, almost holding our breath for the next swoon-worthy pompadour, but rarely are the updates as funny as this one from the long weekend. The Biebs snapped a picture of his hilarious bedhead and posted it to Instagram for the world to see!

Beyonce's Breathtaking Inauguration National Anthem Performance Style

You guys watched Beyonce's national anthem performance for President Barack Obama's 2013 Inauguration Ceremony, right? We expected to be blown away by Bey's celebratory "Star-Spangled Banner," but very little could have been done to prepare us for the complete and total leveling she would do on that inaugural stage. Her performance itself was an elegant balance of staying true to the melody and to her own voice, with flourishes in all the right places and all that patented Beyonce POWER soaring notes up, electrifying the air above the Capitol and throughout the National Mall. Accordingly, her performance ensemble echoed that symmetry of taste. Bey appeared both reverent and glamorous in her National Anthem outfit from the top of her expertly coiffed head to the bottom of her floor-length gown.

It feels like WAY too long since we last saw 30 Seconds To Mars frontman Jared Leto in a commercial. Like, way, way too long. Ever since he became the face of Hugo Boss' male fragrance, we've been anxiously awaiting every campaign featuring ~~Jordan Catalano~~ Jared Leto decked out in a perfectly-tailored suit and coiffed hair. *shivers* Lucky for us, our prayers have been answered. Hugo Boss debuted a commercial for their newest fragrance, Hugo Red, during Berlin Fashion Week, and OMG, we can barely handle it.

Oh, John Mayer Is An Accessories Designer Now?

Posted 1/16/13 3:20 pm EST by Chrissy Mahlmeister in Accessories, Celebrity Designers, Dudes, Let's Discuss

John Mayer and the wallets he designed.

Hello world! Remember John Mayer? You know, the dude that sang "Your Body Is A Wonderland" but had to call off his career "indefinitely" last March because of a serious throat condition? Yeah, that guy. I know it's a super sadface sitch, but, hey, he's dealing the best way he knows how—by dating Katy Perry (babe alert!) and becoming an accessories designer—the latter of which only I found out about mere hours ago. Apparently, he teamed up with Barrett Alley to create a collection of limited-edition wallets, and from what I can tell so far, he's taking this whole design thing really, really seriously. Like, first off, each wallet is $190. To put that in perspective, you could get four—read that again—four Rebecca Minkoff leather wallets for the price of just one John Mayer concoction. So, what's this bad boy made of? Snakeskin? Diamonds? Solid gold? Nope! It's made of old timey fabric from the late 1800s and Civil War-era buttons. Mmmmm, mothballs.

Macklemore Is 'Celebrity Sneaker Stalker' Guest Editor For 'Nice Kicks'

Macklemore has made it inarguably clear that he. loves. thrift-shopping. He's made appearance after appearance doling out his thrifting tips and tricks for those of less-than-expert status on the Goodwill grind. Slightly less talked about, though, is Macklemore's deep-seated love of sneakers (he might say, to a fault, as he raps on "Wing$"). Well, that's changing now as Mack has assumed the title of guest editor for sneaker blog Nice Kicks's Celebrity Sneaker Stalker (or CSS for short) franchise for the month of January.

A$AP Rocky Talks 'Fashion Killa,' Givenchy, And Keeping It Rugged In Exclusive Interview [Video]

A$AP Rocky talks "Fashion Killa" with MTV Style.

Today is the day! A$AP Rocky's long-awaited debut album Long. Live. A$AP has officially dropped. The full-length follow-up to his Live. Love. A$AP mixtape is every bit as ear-wormy as its predecessor, only this time, Rocky takes even more risks, is more experimental across genres, and as MTV Hive's Jeff Weiss so aptly put it, his "guest list is as stacked as Ocean’s 11" with appearances from all ends of the industry, from Skrillex to Santigold, Action Bronson to Florence Welch. As a crew of style junkies, one of our favorite tracks from the new album is (naturally) Rocky's "Fashion Killa."

Along with being an imperturbable ode to high-fashion, laden with halcyon, synthesized background vocals, the "Killa" record boasts 27 (!!!) sartorial name-checks in just under 4 minutes ranging from the expected (Alexander Wang, Rick Owens, Balmain) to the distinctly less so (Escada, Damir Doma) and a metric ton more (*takes deeeeep breath* Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Balenciaga, Helmut Lang, Donna Karan, Cartier, Jean Paul Gaultier, Jil Sander, Oliver Peoples, Costume National, Visvim, Lanvin, Goyard, Isabel Marant, Linda Farrow, Dior, Vena Cava, Tom Ford, Thom Browne, Raf Simons, Versace). Not to mention, dude effectively and impressively ends a phrase with "Ann Demeuelemeester," setting the bar what some might consider impossibly high for 2013's edition of The Best Fashion Lyrics Of The Year. Lucky for us, the handsome Harlem fashion killa himself paid us a special visit to talk about the track, its lyrics, and a grip of our other burning style questions, and lucky for YOU, we caught it all on film for an exclusive video interview!
