It's been WAY too long since we last heard from Paramore, but good news: they're baaaaack! After a three-year hiatus, the Nashville rockers have returned for an upcoming eponymous album and a major tour *Pause for screaming, confetti, and long-overdue celebration.* We've still got a while to wait— it all goes down in April— but that's OK, because we'll just keep refreshing Hayley Williams's Instagram feed until then. The band's frontwoman has been posting more outfit snaps than usual on both her personal account and the group page, showing off crazy pants, her black boot obsession, and customized Vans sneakers. Our new favorite item, though, HAS to be this pair of graphic tights that the 24-year-old snapped over the weekend, with the caption simply saying "Photoshootin'." Wait, photoshoot for WHAT? Don't keep us hanging here, Hayley...

As if Beyonce didn't give us enough to talk about with her leveling Super Bowl halftime performance last night (complete with a Destiny's Child reunion!), King Bey has revealed that come April, she'll be kicking off her The Mrs. Carter Show world tour. The divine Miss Bey will be hitting up major cities across Europe and the United States this spring and summer, spreading the love unleashed unto the New Orleans Superdome all along the way. How exactly did Beyonce lay the big news on us? A King Bey-themed promotional package wherein she is DRIPPING in Thierry Mugler Haute Couture, gold, and the richest cobalt blue. She released a TV spot for the UK, giving us the opportunity to see the look in motion. Though she only really wears one outfit, there's SO much going on here, we're taking it upon ourselves to break it down for you.

White-gloved handmaids lace King Bey up in a glittering gold Thierry Mugler Haute Couture SS 1997 corset that girl looks positively sewn into. The piece is exciting to us not just because it's encrusted with multi-colored gems and dangling with chandelier-esque resplendence but ALSO because the striking exaggerated silhouettes of Thierry Mugler will forever remind us of the French designer's boss lady Sasha Fierce creations for Bey's I Am...World Tour. Will Mugler be dressing Mrs. Carter for the 2013 tour? We sure hope so.

Ho. Ly. Mackerel. Talk about "Lose My BREATH." The Super Bowl XLVII game may have reached a teeth-grinding halt with the Baltimore Ravens leading the San Francisco 49ers 28-6 just before a POWER OUTAGE (whatttt??), but the break was probably for the best since Beyonce's epic halftime performance and the HIGHLY anticipated Destiny's Child reunion which just unfolded in the New Orleans Superdome STILL has us totally floored, not exactly ready to dive back into all the sportsball just yet. Had the Harbaugh brothers entered onto the field on a tandem bike and we actually followed through on that epic snack stadium, we might have had a few more things to keep ourselves occupied while waiting for the Beyonce show to start. Instead, we were white-knuckled counting down the two hours before FINALLY getting to see the Rubin Singer creations worn by Bey and her DC girls Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.

In case your direct-to-brain-from-Beyhive app is broken: rumor has it that when Queen Beyonce plays Super Bowl XLVII this weekend, there will be a special, super-spectacular, long-awaited, brain-detonating performance by Destiny's Child. Should the internet be correct, and should Destiny's Child indeed reunite, you can basically divine their setlist: after Beyonce does her thing, Kelly and Michelle will emerge to fireworks and new song "Nuclear," then they'll bust off a medley of some of their greatest hits, topped off with "Independent Women Part 1," which they must have performed at 365 awards shows during the Year of Charlie's Angels, anno domini. The real stumper is, after more than six years apart...what will they possibly wear? Since their last show together in 2005, they've all done complete style 180s, each going in the direction of higher fashion for their more frequent solo red carpets. (They have also clearly been freed from the girl-group albatross of wearing matching ensembles, racing forth like wild ponies fleeing a burning forest into the life-sustaining clothing racks of their individual personalities. Hallelu, hallelu.)

Hoping for a crystal ball into their potential Superbowl estilo, we spent hours face-deep in YouTube, scouting some of the most memorable costumes the quartet-ternt-trio ever wore live, and breaking them down with our eagle eyes chronologically here. Bonus shadow-styling courtesy Beyonce's mama Tina Knowles, whose manicured hands were in these ladies' boudoirs long before House of Deréon was birthed into the world.

Destiny's Child

Early DC were ardent aficionados of distressed denim, particularly whilst embellished with rhinestones, embroidery, and creative scissor-work—note in this photo, snapped at London's Hyde Park on New Year's Day 2000, Kelly Rowland's victory-V hem is joined by chopped-off beltloops...because waistlines! Who needs 'em! During the Destiny's Child/The Writing's on the Wall eras, circa '98-'00, they were often set on regular-gal vibes, repping rough-and-tumble home state Texas with workwear like this, while staying true to the strong-woman emittances of their music. Abdominals: it ain't no joke. That said, it's surprising to see LaToya Luckett and Michelle Williams wearing such similar jeans-and-tank-top ensembles, because part of the Destiny's Child mystique, of course, was that they always rocked similar fabrics but wildly different silhouettes. Beyonce's 'Pac bandana tank-top thingamajig is bringing back sharply technicolor memories of the early '00s...when people were prone to wearing (and DIY'ing!) bandana tank-top thingamajigs. #neverforget

Ke$ha Brocade Suit

Last month we were tipped off to Ke$ha's love for brocade (see: her wearing two different baroque-inspired pieces in just one evening), but as it turns out, we severely underestimated the singer's obsession. She was spotted in Japan yesterday wearing—GASP—the exact same suit from before! The garment in question? A black velvet and gold foil 7 For All Mankind suit that is so '70s rocker chic we can barely handle it. In her most recent look, she paired the velvet ensemble with a black lace, bell-sleeve button-up, layered pendant necklaces, a floppy hat, and Ray-Ban aviators. She left her long platinum hair down in gorgeous ringlets and finished the look with black tassel loafers. #WERK

Beyonce getting silly at her halftime show rehearsal.

While it doesn't give us many (or any, really) clues about what Beyonce is going to wear for her Super Bowl XLVII halftime performance, her newly released "Countdown To Touchdown" rehearsal video certainly gives us some info about her rehearsal style, and also about what we can expect from her on Sunday. With a grip of dancers and some typically-Bey-mazing (yeah, we went there, what?) choreography, we pretty much can't actually wrap our heads around what's about to go down in four short days. While we bugged out over Bey's "Can I Live" sweatshirt and her hometown pride Brooklyn Nets tee from Junk Food (both of which are currently available for pre-order), in this video her look is much more toned down. Beyonce is rehearsing in a black on black on black leggings, tee, and beanie combo, and switches between a pair of black uggs and more performance-ready heels throughout. While this is reassuringly similar to the look we're regularly rocking at yoga class, Bey still manages to make the simple outfit look way more awesome than we will ever look. In anything. Ever. Sigh. Also according to the video this is just DAY ONE of rehearsals. Does that mean we have more of these to come? Watch the first video after the jump, and get inspired to amp up your own athletic style!

Miley Cyrus leopard onesie dog

If there's one thing Miley Cyrus loves, it's her dogs. Her newest addition, Bean, is Chihuahua mix she adopted earlier this month (which, yes, makes that the sixth dog in the Cyrus household), and last night she tweeted a pic of them together wearing MATCHING. OUTFITS. Eeee! She sported a decked-out leopard onesie while holding Bean in a similar leopard print hoodie, which officially made our cold, dead fashion hearts melt. This isn't the first time we've seen Miley matching with her dog, though—remember when she went twinsies with her puppy Penny Lane in all-over skull print? YUP.

Beyonce

Okay, we realize we might be stretching a little, but with Beyonce's Super Bowl XLVII halftime performance inching closer and closer every day, and Bey posting about a bajillion rehearsal photos to her Tumblr on what feels like an hourly basis, it's hard to stop ourselves from searching for ANY clues to her upcoming stage wardrobe. We know that rehearsal style doesn't necessarily translate to whatever an artist will be wearing come showtime, but when Bey uploads two black-and-white striped looks, all her behind-the-scenes rehearsal snaps are in grayscale, AND she takes special note to highlight these horizontal stripe legs, we're going to start wondering if maybe these are all signs pointing toward a common theme: black and white stripes.

Rihanna Airport Style

Listen, airport style doesn't always have to mean the dreaded sweatpants and Uggs ensemble. See: Rihanna when she arrived in NYC yesterday. She looked SO. FLY. all bundled up in her winter gear, and as she made her way across the JFK airport, she began to strip off her outfit layer by layer. The crazy part? Every time she revealed a new piece, we loved it even more than the last one! So, let's start at the beginning: Rihanna gets off the plane, and she's wearing an illusion fur vest coat with brown leather sleeves, cuffed distressed jeans, dark sunnies, red lips, and loosely-tied Timberland boots. Then, she started to unbutton her jacket, and—GASP—she begins to reveal that she's wearing a studded denim jacket a.k.a. a CANADIAN TUXEDO underneath it all. Yasss.

Selena Gomez

With all the rumors surrounding the intended subject matter of Justin Bieber's brand new Believe Acoustic tracks, it's hard NOT to have Selena Gomez on the brain today. It's not just because we've been listening to "Yellow Raincoat" on repeat — we're ALSO stumbling on a ton of Selena FASHUN news! First and foremost, the collection of Nicole by OPI nail polishes inspired by Selena hit shelves this month, and just in time for their release, we found this behind-the-scenes video from the campaign shoot.
