Lana strikes a somber pose in killer velvet heels.

Last month, we confirmed that Lana Del Rey was indeed going to be the new face of H&M, and now the brand has made the full campaign--or the images at least--available for all of us to feast our eyes upon. The holiday campaign shows a sumptuously styled Lana posing against a stark grey background with rich maroons, velvet, and cream accents making her look like a cozy beacon in a chilly storm. Isn't that exactly what fall fashion should be: a relief from the encroaching cold? We love it. Now, where's our e-commerce at, H&M? Just asking. We also got a little bit more info on the long-form video portion of the ad, which features Lana singing "Blue Velvet." The piece, which will be available in its full-length form on H&M's website on September 19th, will also be edited to be used in television commercials.

Kristen Stewart and Nicolas Ghesquière.

The fashion world is a little (okay, maybe a lot) like high school. So what happens when VOGUE handpicks the most stylish, talented, and creative young ingenues out there today and splashes them across the pages of its new September issue? Yeah, it's basically like a really, really chic version of the cool kids' lunch table. But don't worry, because we've got your ticket in with "The VOGUE 120." According to the website, this is a list of "The Stylish Singers, Designers, Actors, Models, and More (Under 45) of the Moment," and it definitely doesn't disappoint. You can peep the entire portfolio in the issue now, but before you rush to the newsstand, check out our favorites here. Kristen Stewart leads the pack, posing with Balenciaga designer Nicolas Ghesquière and decked out in the French fashion house's gorgeous futuristic wares. We love how her arm is draped casually over his shoulder, like they've been best buds forever (and shoot Balenciaga campaigns between shopping trips and coffee runs). SO.CUTE.

Rita Ora.

Rita Ora may still be relatively new to our ears stateside (the girl hasn't even released her debut album yet!), but she's already secured herself a comfy place in Jay-Z's Roc Nation crew...not to mention, major MVP status on our iPods. We haven't stopped playing "How We Do (Party)" ever since the singer first debuted the single way back in February. And once we discovered that the 21-year-old has style that's just as crazy-cool as her music, she's become one to watch in the fashion world, too. So is it really any surprise, then, that NEXT Models- the same agency that reps Lana del Rey, Ellie Goulding, AND Alice Glass- has now snagged Rita for their roster? Between Lana for H&M, Solange for Madewell, and Azealia for Alexander Wang, it's been a summer FILLED with music-fashion mashups...and it's only a matter of time before Rita hops onboard.

Lily Collins in 'Glamour.'

Okay, so we're just going to come out and say it: we have a major girl crush on Lily Collins. We've loved the L.A.-based actress ever since her hosting duties on Nickelodeon way back when, but nowadays, with big-time movies like The Blind Side and Mirror Mirror to her name, the former teen TV reporter has officially grown into a full-blown movie star. We're not the only ones noticing, either. None other than Glamour's September cover girl and the issue's newest guest editor,Victoria Beckham, tapped Lily for the mag's special spread (no big deal). The 23-year-old is absolutely radiant in the images, sporting a ruffled pale pink knit sweater and working her signature strong brows like nobody's business. Paging Brooke Shields...

Taylor Swift, Red Dresses

She's been teasing us via Twitter for the past few weeks, but last night Taylor Swift finally spilled her big news she's been hinting about in an online chat... and it's a triple whammy! She announced that her fourth album, Red, will drop October 22, and it'll be followed shortly by a massive world tour (start scouting tickets now!). But as awesome as all this is, it's not even the best part- she also debuted her newest single, the breakup jam "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." She's traded her country roots for an irresistibly catchy pop anthem filled with relationship angst, overflowing with attitude, and- shocker- we've been singing it at our desks all morning. If "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" is any indication, let's just say Taylor's all grown up... and newest album is bound to be seriously good. As for the title, she told Just Jared that "I called it Red because of the tumultuous, crazy adventures in love and loss that it chronicles," Taylor said. "In my mind, when you experience love that’s fast-paced and out-of-control and mixes infatuation, jealousy, frustration, miscommunication, and all of those lovely emotions… in retrospect, it all looks red." That might be true, but Taylor's been seeing red fashion-wise, as well.

My Name Is Kay.

There's something about Canadian crooner My Name Is Kay. First of all, Cobrastarship's "#1Nite" featuring Kay's Robyn-esque soaring pipes is my personal fave booty-bounce-inducing summer anthem (sorry, Carly). And I'm not just totally biased because I may or may not have a worrisome boy crush on Cobra's foxy frontman, Gabe Saporta, specifically after an afternoon tour of his bachelor pad for a past Favorite Things… (!!!!) Kay, back to Kay: Homegirl's style game makes us happy cry/sartorial shiver. She sort of gives us '90s LA raver, but not as hot messy as, say, a tequila-drenched Ke$ha. Proof: Kay's perfectly-polished nails. Pastel color-blocking, you guys. *DEAD* Thus, I suggest taking a meditation moment before diving into a euphoric Kay-hole via this week’s fierce n' fashion-y favorite thangs. You’re welcome.

Miley Cyrus shows off her short hairstyle.

They were the scissor snips heard 'round the world last night, when Miley Cyrus bravely decided to ditch her signature topknot for a platinum pixie cut. Yes, really. After tweeting some crypic messages throughout the day, Miley finally blasted out a photo midway through the Olympics Closing Ceremony of the "after" look. Her new blonde choppy 'do reminds us a bit of Rihanna's cropped hairstyle crossed with Agyness Deyn's edgy pixie, and we're giving major props to Miley for taking the plunge. Although it takes a LOT for most people to part with their hair, Miley took the huge change in stride- even posing for a "before" shot with her hairstylist Chris McMillan (with the caption "Good bye bun. Stay tuned"). Eeeeek!

Jessie J

Along with the fact that we still can't get "Domino" out of our heads (hey, we're not mad...), there's another reason Jessie J. holds a special place in our hearts: her ridiculously cool sense of style. The girl can work a head-to-toe printed jumpsuit like it's NDB one day, then turn around and channel her inner flapper on the red carpet the next. It's almost like she doesn't even care what people think, which makes the wardrobe result THAT much cooler. Part of the credit for the U.K. pop star's amazing outfit choices goes to her longtime stylist, Karl Willett, who also dressed Jessie J. on her new "Laserlight" video. However, the twosome (who've worked together forever, we hear) have since parted ways, leaving the singer with a whole new look.

Alexa Chung Overalls

OK, we need to talk. Whenever we see Alexa Chung do anything we totally take note because, duh, she's a fashion "It" girl. She's always on the forefront of trends and trying new things and blahdy blahdy blah, but sometimes we're a wee bit skeptical of the next big thing she's trying to pull off. And lately, that means overalls—real, actual, TLC-style oversized overalls (See also: That House of Style segment on colored denim.) OK, maybe they're not that crazy, but still! We haven't seen these bad boys pop up since the '90s (well, if you don't count Miley Cyrus' denim jumpsuit thing from a few weeks ago), and we're kiiiind of not quite sure if we're ready for it to come back. In mid July, Alexa sported vintage-y denim dungarees with a statement necklace and black tank. She accessorized with ankle espadrille wedges, a snakeskin bag, and circle sunnies. We're sorta feeling this retro vibe, but these overalls are bordering on culottes territory, and yeah.... *shiver*

Azealia Banks, Grimes

Azealia Banks gets hairstyle inspired by Grimes "W" Magazine look.

You really just have to love Azealia Banks. The cheeky lyrics, the trademark mischievous glint in her eye, the mermaid hair for days. Azealia is a bonafide style star in her own right with designers like Alexander Wang and Karl Lagerfeld posting her up as a new muse, flocking to have her front their campaigns or play a show at their homes, AND YET she's not too big to appreciate when other ladies wield exemplary style. We especially love it when AZ takes it far enough to emulate other girlies' steez like with this self-described genie hair the native Harlemite admits is inspired by another MTV Style darling: Grimes!

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