Looking to spice up your life? You may already know that The Spice Girls are reuniting for their Viva Forever! musical, BUT according the Huffington Post UK, a piece of the girls' iconic performance wardrobe MIGHT be up for grabs! While nothing is confirmed, several publications are reporting that the girls' unforgettable, star-making togs could be going up for auction at a gala to coincide with the launch of the musical, and the proceeds (if we're really in store for a Girl Power bid-out) would benefit non-profits Save The Children and Children In Need.

5 Iconic 98 Degrees Looks We Want To See At Their Reunion Show

Posted 6/21/12 5:14 pm EST by Gaby Wilson in Dudes, Performance Outfits, Red Carpet

The late '90s/early aughts heyday of boy bands (and girl bands, too!) were a very interesting times for music group fashion. The One Direction dudes may be the current Kings of Coordinating™, but they're only the latest evolution of a time when boy bands didn't simply match. They often replicated entire outfits 4 or more times over for each member. One such group, 98 Degrees, is finally reuniting this summer at Pennsylvania's Mixtape Festival, and in honor of the good news, we've rounded up the top 5 iconic looks we're crossing our fingers for Nick, Jeff, Drew, and Justin to wear for their comeback.

WHITE HOT SEPARATES

The all-white look was a pretty standard one for boy bands of this era, but none carried it quite as well as 98 Degrees. These crisp, white ensembles with their clean lines and easy, relaxed fit ooze summery cool. Not to mention the sneakers and drawstring pants à la Nick Lachey are soooooo on-trend.

Jennifer Lopez Really Loves Sparkly Nude Bodysuits

Posted 6/21/12 12:45 pm EST by Gaby Wilson in Ladies, Performance Outfits

Jennifer Lopez wears sparkly nude bodysuits on her "Dance Again" world tour, at the 2011 American Music Awards, and at KIIS FM's 2011 Wango Tango.

You heard it here first, people. Jennifer Lopez really loves sparkly nude bodysuits. And loves to wear them on stage. In front of bajillions of people. And doesn't just sit on a bench, holding a pillow in front of her midsection. J.Lo, clad in nothing more than bedazzled full-body pantyhose, runs around and goes hard on complicated choreography and wind machines and teams of oiled up men *drops to knees in exaltation.* Though, if we looked THAT fine at 42 (after giving birth to TWINS, no less), well, we'd probably do it, too.

Time for me to cross a major item off the bucket list. World, I have officially stood inches (CENTIMETERS, even) from Justin Bieber. AND I didn't totally lose it or have a massive panic attack or anything (Look at me now, Ma!!). The Biebs graced our studios with his presence for Bieber Live to promote his brand new album Believe. Justin answered fan questions, performed an acoustic version of "Die In Your Arms", and chatted with Sway Calloway. As is expected with anything this 18-year-old pop superstar touches, the live interview was riddled with fashion easter eggs, all of which we're about to unlock for you right NOW.

It's only logical course that, after being crowned "The Most Beautiful Woman in the World" last year and universally respected for her game-changing weekly style exploits on her American Idol-hosting day job, legendary designers are banging down Jennifer Lopez's door for a chance to swaddle her in their garments. One designer has come through as a clear favorite. Beirut-based Zuhair Murad is responsible for both of J.Lo's Oscar night dresses, the elegant white gown with cut-out sleeves and the plunging-necklined sequin-covered number she sported to the Vanity Fair party. The Lebanese designer will be outfitting Jenny with six looks for her summer tour and has just released sketches for a few of his creations!

Sooo, we've basically followed every step of Lady Gaga's Born This Way Ball tour overseas (that ponytail! That meat dress!), and today she debuted some huge news on her Facebook page: She's releasing one exclusive tour shirt on her web store each week all summer long! Eeeee. But to kick off her collection, she picked a tee—GASP—designed by a fan! That's right—one of her Little Monsters created this black graphic T-shirt complete with Gaga's signature blue-tinted ponytail (reminiscent of her "Born This Way" music video) atop a unicorn/motorcycle hybrid (a nod to her Born This Way album cover) wearing heelless booties, and, um, not much else. Also, please note the bold red "Ride, Ride, Pony, Ride, Ride" plastered across the front. Niiiiiceee.

Madonna's MDNA Tour Costumes Designed By Jean Paul Gaultier And Jeremy Scott Revealed!

We basically flipped our LID when we heard that Madonna and Jean Paul Gaultier were reuniting for her MDNA tour (it kicks off today in Tel Aviv!), but WWD got a hold of some sketches of the outfits and OH. MUH. GAH. Not only is there JPG amazingness, but Jeremy Scott and Arianne Phillips also make KILLER appearances in her on-stage ensembles. Her Gaultier design (which she wears during her "Vogue" number, above) is an entirely black and white menswear-inspired ensemble that features a button-up white shirt, tie, wide leg trousers, over-the-elbow gloves, and—GASP—THE ICONIC CONE BUSTIER FROM HER 1990 BLOND AMBITION TOUR. *cries* “We played with the ideas of a suit and a corset. But the corset is now like a cage,” Gaultier told WWD. “What I have done this time is a nod to the conical bra corset of the Blond Ambition tour but reinterpreted in 3-D, in patent leather on the outside with metallic leather on the inside. It’s all about masculine and feminine, Madonna and Jean Paul Gaultier classics reinterpreted for 2012.”

We all KNEW that Beyonce's big post-Blue Ivy comeback was bound to be epic (to say the very least). As soon as Bey announced she'd be returning to the stage for the Memorial Day Weekend grand opening of Atlantic City's Revel entertainment center, our imaginations ran wild with memories of pop art primaries, shoestring onesies set against animated backdrops, and of course, a heavy-handed helping of SPARKLE. Queen Bey did not disappoint, gracing the Revel stage with more than five outfit changes, all glitteringly affirmative that Beyonce is, in fact, back to business.

YASSS. Remember when Rihanna showed us a sneak peek of her new dreaded 'do yesterday? Well, we got to see it in full force last night when she performed live on the American Idol season finale! She sang "Where Have You Been?" in an all black Adam Selman loincloth number amidst tons of lasers, fog, and scantily-clad backup dancers. Silver spikes and gems dangled from her black bra top, which she paired with leather belt and a slit-up-to-the-waist skirt. She finished the look with lace-up boots, Pamela Love earrings, and a crocodile Lynn Ban cuff. She pulled her dreads up into a high ponytail and sported a KILLER smoky eye to finish the look.
