We're so into the way Katy Perry stans for President Obama. There are many celebs who will ride for our newly sworn-in Commander-In-Chief, but are any of them rocking custom latex ballot dresses and attending EVERY event of the inauguration? No, just Katy. Having closely followed her time on the president's campaign trail we were eagerly awaiting Katy's inaugural weekend looks, and were CRUSHED when more of them weren't easily accessible to us online. Luckily, Vogue had our back, and linked up with Katy to publish her Inauguration weekend photo diary. Not only does it let us see candid shots of her custom stars and stripes bustier (which she designed HERSELF, along with stylist extraordinaire Johnny Wujek), but also her amazing Rodarte Inauguration ceremony coat, Oscar De La Renta performance dress, Dolce & Gabbana White House After-Party CAPE, AND her custom Kimmie Kyees patriotic nails. Ah-May-Zing. The photos really do make us feel like an insider, and of course possess that signature KP humor.

Sundance Style

Brit Marling, Dakota Fanning, and Amanda Seyfried at Sundance.

I'm really sick of winter, are you? Everything was ok until about a week ago, when it was no longer warm enough to go without gloves and the injustice of not being able to use my iPhone with my favorite cashmere hand warmers (which I got pre-iPhone, no smart gloves here) became positively infuriating. Well maybe it wasn't THAT serious, but it is really cold, and I'm really starting to hate all of my sweaters. Maybe that's why Robert Redford decided to have the Sundance Film Festival in January, though: good old Robert knew that all of the cute starlets showing off their Park City style would be just the kick in the pants our tired winter hating closets needed to get through until spring. With the festival now in full swing and continuing through the end of the week, there are already some totally killer looks warming up our chilly hearts. Actresses Brit Marling, Dakota Fanning, and Amanda Seyfried showed off three different looks, all super cozy. Get more info on their cold weather styles after the jump!

Caroline D'Amore.

I must confess: I'm straight-ish for Caroline D'Amore. An easy breezy Google image search results in a few pics of Caroline posing it up with a very tan Kardashian or two. But, no shade Kimmy, Caroline is a beauty of many talents. The proof lies in her impressive ressy: She's a model (she’s smized for design goddesses including Stella McCartney and DVF…NBD), she's an in-demand DJ for many an A-Lister party (see: *lil black dress-clad door girl eyes you up, notices unpleasant jeggings* "Sorry, this is, like, a private party, there's like, nothing I can do, kbai…!"), she's an actress (oh hey, she co-starred as MTV homegirl aka Audrina Patridge's lil sis in Sorority Row). But that's not it, you guys. If you kind of remember your Saturday night, you likely got your (unfortunate) dancing-on-ya-own/mascara-running-tequila-tears on courtesy of Caroline's club banger, "Music Man," which, FYI is NUMERO UNO on the Beatport dance charts. You go, gorge gurl. In other words, check out Caroline's favorite things, which, spoiler alert, are all kinds of uh-maze. Also, shout out to Proactiv: we’ve found your new sizzling, super stylish spokesperson. Now send some bottles our way.

Tavi Gevinson and her character in Cadaver.
Photo: Getty/Cadaver

FINALLY! You know when something is announced and then you get bits and pieces of news and then you wait and wait and finally feel like you should just give up on the whole buisness it's been so long? Yeah we know you do. That's how we felt about Cadaver, Jonah Ansell's macabre, heartbreaking animated short starring Rookie EIC Tavi Gevinson, Katy Bates and Christopher Lloyd. Not only does Tavi voice the lead character, a reluctant, sensitive med student who begins to dissect a cadaver only to have him come to life on her, but contributes to the short's soundtrack, performing Neil Young's "Heart Of Gold" and Pet Shop Boys' "Heart." Tavi hinted in her Bust magazine interview that Hollywood might be her next stop, in what is already at just 16 years, a VERY accomplished life, and her performance in Cadaver is certainly a step in that direction. Watch the full short after the jump and let us know what you think in the comments!

rita ora cara delevingne

When two of the fastest rising stars in the game become BFFs, you know immediately this is not going to be your average friendship. There's no doubt that Rita Ora and Cara Delevingne share the same undeniable connection as we all do with our girlfriends, but throw that crackling, bubbly, hard to define "It" quality into the mix? We're talking parties with Rihanna, hangouts with Iggy, and luckily for the rest of us, they document every bonding sesh on Instagram (thanks, y'all!) so we can live vicariously through them. The model and pop singer first linked up at a music festival last summer and have been inseparable ever since, supporting each other at Fashion Week, backstage at concerts, and popping up at birthdays. They're not slowing down career-wise anytime soon, either— Cara's reportedly the new face of YSL Cosmetics and Rita's prepping for her U.S. album release.

Recently these two ingenues sealed their famous friendship in the only way they knew how...by simultaneously tweeting a photo of their very first magazine photoshoot together by Rankin. So until we get more details and can finally see the spread ourselves, there's no better time for a trip down Cara and Rita memory lane. LET'S DO THIS.

A still from the "Spring Breakers" trailer.

After almost a YEAR of built-up anticipation via paparazzi shots and Instagram snaps, we're finally getting to see some footage from Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers. We've pulled ourselves out of the *deeeeep inhale and then monstrous yawn* daybreak hours, the legendary director is finally letting us see the trailer. As we imagined from the teaser photos of the girls getting arrested and wielding guns and ski masks, the movie's PYT stars Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson, Vanessa Hudgens, and Rachel Korine unfurl before your eyes into gritty, grimey characters like you've never seen them before.

Riff Raff-channeling James Franco makes his grand entrance just before the minute mark and Gucci Mane follows soon after. While we still have yet to see how rumored co-star Heather Morris will play out in this story, the trailer is simultaneously tiding us over and amping up our excitement for the movie's official release. Mark your calendars, y'all: Spring Breakers opens March 22 in New York and Los Angeles and nationwide on March 29.

On the inescapable (for us, anyway) style side of things, the trailer is also helping us beat the winter blahs with its Spring Break wardrobe realness. We all agreed that shopping for swimsuits in January was pushing the calendar a little bit, but we did track down some of the movie's style essentials so you can cop the Spring Breakers look now. You're welcome!

Lena Dunham on the February issue of 'Interview'/ Allison Williams on the February cover of 'Company.'
Photo: via 'Interview' and 'Company' magazines.

Hannah wears thrifted dresses. Marnie goes for Jackie-O shifts. Hannah's messy. Marnie's painfully neat. Let's cut to the chase here, shall we? If you watch Girls, then you know that Lena Dunham and Allison Williamss characters are about as opposite as they come. It's these undeniable differences that drove them apart as roommates at the end of last season, and- spoiler alert!- are already coming into play in season two. But while all the onscreen drama's clearly fiction, the co-stars continue to work completely opposite looks on a pair of February covers (coincidence?). Lena takes a retro turn in stripped-down mod for Interview magazine, framed in a black and white portrait by Gregory Harris. With her pixie crop, accentuated lashes, and statement eyeliner, the muse for the shoot is obvious (here's a hint...).

AnnaSophia Robb haircut

AnnaSophia Robb this week; on set filming 'The Carrie Diaries.'

After months of stalking the on-set pics, tracking the retro costumes, and following the rising star of adorable actress AnnaSophia Robb, The Carrie Diaries FINALLY premiered last night on The CW. What'd you guys think? If you ask us, the show is a complete 1984 fashion whirlwind, filled with style shoutouts (Interview mag!), New York haunts (Indochine!) and even designer cameos (anyone else spy Waris Ahluwalia in the dinner scene?!). We can barely wait until next week's episode, but at least we've got PLENTY to talk about until then, like AnnaSophia's brand new haircut.

Zosia Mamet and Emily Blunt in their Golden Globes dresses.
Photo: Getty

The Golden Globes really are the beginning of red carpet season. Not to diminish any of the other awards shows, we love them all equally, but as far as the most nights in movies and television are concerned, the Globes are only second to the Oscars, and then it's a close second. We love seeing our favorite stars of screens both big and small get fancy and celebrate one another, and last night was a particularly exciting year. With some of our favorite movies and shows up for awards, we were really rooting for all of our favorite stars. We were also rooting for them in the style department, and for the most part, we were impressed. Girls star Zosia Mamet elevated your basic black in a leather paneled Tony Ward dress that we adored, and Emily Blunt appealed to our enduring love of studs in her golden Michael Kors. There were also some looks that weren't quite working for us, mostly because we so want our favorite stars to look AMAZING on the carpet, and it makes us so sad when they don't. See all of our hits and misses in the video below, and tell us what you think in the comments!

Lana del rey

Considering the singer's original billing as a "gangster Nancy Sinatra" and throughout her subsequent incarnations (rock 'n roll, old school glamazon, sultry chanteuse...you get it) Lana Del Rey has seen more than her fair share of style transformations these past few months. She's switched up her hair, flaunted a gold tooth, and most recently grinned in long underwear on the cover of Rolling Stone Mexico. But when LDR debuted yet another new look this weekend, it still threw us for a loop! We're used to seeing Lana channel other decades in her fashion choices, but nothing quite so specifically '80s until now. The singer hit a pre-Golden Globe Awards party on Friday wearing a tan overcoat and copper-colored dress, both by London designer IZMAYLOVA. Accessorized with classic white Pedro Garcia pumps and a David Swarovski clutch, the neutral ensemble is undeniably retro, don't you think? The prim and proper vibe is a far cry from the '70s bohemian she's been channeling, but turns out the star is sticking with her latest look...for now, anyway, since she continued this secretary-chic streak throughout the weekend.

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