If you're a true KatyCat, then you're well aware that Mia Moretti is Katy Perry’s BFF. (Yeah, that’s her being naughty with a then-unknown Ke$ha in the “I Kissed A Girl” music video and killin' it on the “Peacock” remix from the deluxe edish of Teenage Dream.) But Moretti's also one of New York’s finest dressed DJs/"It" Girls, providing the dance floor/arms-flailing-ready tunes for a bevy of chic runway shows and after-parties. (A-List designer Prabal Gurung’s a super fan. NBD.) She's also WORKED it in a slew of head-turning spreads for PAPER and Nylon magazine. And then there's the JAMMMM "So Beautiful" in which Moretti's other half, Caitlin Moe (who you'll often find heel-clad/losing her mind on the strings whilst touring the globe performing with Moretti), showcases her haunting pipes over Moretti's euphoric beats and shadow-y synth. In short, I’ve been kinndaaaa obsessed with Moretti ever since meeting her at a downtown boite a couple summers ago whilst confusing her for Chloe Sev. Oops! A few tequila shots later, and we’ve been basically the downtown version of Will & Grace ever since. Gurlfriend is def not afraid of a zany pattern, a little floral action, a good chunky heel and, duh, some Daisy Dukes. So, take out your iPhone notes app—these are a few of Ms. Mia Moretti’s favorite fashion-y things!

Within the last few months, pop culture's newest power duo Lana del Rey and Azealia Banks have already captivated Mulberry, Alexander Wang, and Prada, but that's only the beginning for the fashion industry darlings. Now that the musicians have big-time designers eating out of the palms of their (well-manicured) hands, they're setting out to conquer the mass market, too. Cult Irish denim and t-shirt label The Silver Factory has just rolled out its new "Lana" and "Azealia" namesake jean shorts, two cutoffs that take cues from each girl's very different fashion senses. According to the brand, the washed-blue "Lana" is influenced by the New York songstress's retro style in its basic cut with dip-dyed, faded ends, making them classically All-American topped off with a sexy twist. The "Azealia's," on the other hand, are LOUD- just like the Harlem rapper herself.

These Are A Few Of Dev's Favorite Things

Remember that one time when the chorus of Far East Movement's "Like A G6" was the only thing you'd sing whilst self-exfoliating at home on a lonely Saturday night? Those were the days. *Sigh* Anywho, one inebriated evening circa 2010, I bolted/tripped over to the jukebox at my fave local suspicious-smelling gay dive faster than a frenetic pelvic thrust because I HAD to know the name, and then obvs the steeze, of the enigmatic, purring female serving it to the kids on the euphoric jam. The answer is now, obvs, Dev. First of all, 'Dev' is a bad-to-the-bone, Dev-ilish name, so fierce hand waves to that hotness, girl. But following much chin-scratching and a Google Image search via iPhone minutes later (which basically = a rad pompadour situation, a slew of tattoos and cuckoo kinds of bling) another (totes healthy) obsession was born. Nowadays, I'm driving the MTV Style office all sorts of "STFU!" cray as a result of my latest fave sang-it-loud-and-proud jam, "In My Trunk" from Dev's popgasm of a debut album, The Night The Sun Came Up. Sing it with me you guys: "I got that thump it's in mah trunk, it's in mah trunk…" The lyrics are basically >>>>> and Fergalicious. So, duh, I hit up Dev for this week's installment of Favorite Things. Homegirl e-mailed me a detailed map of her uhmazing tattoos (!!!) and more sartorial hot sauce, so if you hear me shrieking profanities and/or catch the sound of "In The Dark" lyrics echoing across St. Mark's today after work, don't be alarmed... I'm just wearing my <3 (inspired by Dev) on my sleeve. #NoPainNoStyleGain

Throwback Willow Smith Video Proves She Has Always Been Stylish

Since Willow Smith burst onto the music scene with her impossibly catchy "Whip My Hair" single, spitfire personality, and undeniable fashion prowess, we knew we'd be glued to the girl's every move. Since then, the cutie patootie superstar spawn for Will and Jada has dabbled in street fighter inspired looks, buzzed off all her hair, and even tried a more subdued look (one time). But even before all this, before she exploded into a full-fledged style icon at the tender age of 11, Willow was sashay shante-ing up and down the streets of NYC and Paris in the most covetable of ensembles.

Forget whatever you think you know about little black dresses. As temperatures climb and hems rise, spring is all about the LWD (little white dress), and in just one evening, Lea Michele, Shay Mitchell, and Chelsea Kane sported three different iterations of the crisp warm-weather trend at last night's Academy screening of Glee and the ABC Family West Coast upfront.

Chilling out in a denim shirt, lace hot pants, and a pair of retro roller-skates, Shailene Woodley looks super SoCal cool on the June cover of ASOS magazine. The TV-turned-film actress, who can still be seen regularly on The Secret Life of the American Teenager, has been having quite the year. Remember that elegant white Valentino gown she wore to the Oscars or those mega controversial Vibram Five Finger shoes she wore with a glam black gown? Yeah, Shai-Wood has made some SERIOUS fashion news this year, which is refreshing in the seen-it-all-before world of awards season. Miss Woodley continues to stand out on the red carpet as she does for ASOS mag, where she opens up about her low-key beauty regime, passion for film, and dreams of playing rock legend and enduring style slayer Patti Smith.

Remember that time we found Selena Gomez in a giant fish tank filled with purple water? Okay, the water was only waist-deep and she was probably hoisted and lowered into it by a team of bluebirds, but it was shocking nonetheless. We were all, "What the what??" until we realized it was all for her upcoming fan-sourced fragrance debut, and now, we can finally see finished product!

DIY Hairstyles You Need To Try For Prom

Posted 5/1/12 12:00 pm EST by Gaby Wilson in 'It' Girls, Beauty, Prom

Prom doesn't have to be all about fancy schmancy updos that have you in a salon chair for hours and shellacked under a helmet of hairspray. Take a cue from some of the hottest starlettes gracing the red carpet this year like Dianna Agron, Rihanna, Sky Ferreira, and Katy Perry, and go for something a little more unexpected, modern, and fun. These ladies have rocked some of the hottest hairstyles of the year (the braided updo, the pin-up look, the old Hollywood waves, and the super sleek pony), and what's more, you can actually cop these looks yourself! Don't believe us? Fire up your styling wands and read on!

THE BRAIDED UPDO

The braid has been one of the biggest hair trends of the past year, and Dianna's look here for the 2012 Screen Actors' Guild Awards is extra special because it features the ultimate in plaits: the fishtail. In truth, Dianna's hairstyle looks more complicated than it actually is, so crack those knuckles, do a few dexterity warm-ups, and let's get started!

Every year, the White House Correspondents Dinner brings the worlds of politics and Hollywood together under one fashionable Washington D.C. roof to dine with (and enjoy a speech delivered by) the President of the United States of America. Witty barbs are tossed around the room from the evening's designated host—who was Jimmy Kimmel this year—and everyone dresses up in their fanciest finery, aka black ties and gowns galore, usually of the more subdued variety. (Neon minidresses and/or jumpsuits made of wig hair should be saved for after-parties only.) This year, a bevy of beauties classed-up the evening in various shades of grey. Dakota Fanning and Zooey Deschanel both chose classic lady-gowns adorned in flowers, and Ginnifer Goodwin went for eco-friendly ruffles in the lightest, creamiest of grey.

These Are A Few Of Yuna's Favorite Things

There's something about the buzzed-about Malaysian beauty known as Yuna, you guys. See: The velvety smooth pipes that remind me of sippin' on a heavenly glass of Jameson on the rocks by the fireplace (and hopefully *fingers crossed* not getting sloshed solo) at a Parisian-friendly downtown boîte in the dreadful winter. Yum. Pair that whiskey buzz with Yuna's intoxicating (hehe) jam "Live Your Life" and then I'm really feeling thangs. There's also Yuna's viral Nirvana (!!!) cover of "Come As You Are" which results in my arm goosebumps tingling the way your insides do whilst listening to a melodic emo verse. A tear (or five) might have happened, too. Oh, and let's not forget Yuna's must-purchase self-titled debut album, released this week, which features my personal style god/fantasy boy toy (real name: Pharrell Williams) and his sensual, make-out-in-public-inducing beats. But since this is MTV Style and all, let's take a moment of sartorial silence to reflect on Yuna's signature crazily colorful head wraps (and head-turners) which are slaying our eyes/lives. I mean, have you SEEN that headpiece she made out of adidas Originals pants in the cute-as-HALE White Space Project video with Coco and Breezy? *breathe in, breathe out… DEAD* Alas, it being "Favorite Things" Friday, we gave Yuna our fashion-y survey, and if our puddle of desk drool (TMI?) is any indication, Yuna's responses totes did not disappoint. #AStyleStarIsBorn #BeMyBFF
