What do Michael Jackson and Katy Perry have in common? Okay, well, other than international super-fame? And aside from sharing the record for number of #1 singles from one album? They both have performance outfits being auctioned off in the Gotta Have Rock And Roll online auction! One of the many pieces of MJ memorabilia is an adorably '70s Jackson 5 stage outfit signed by Michael himself and packaged with a signed vinyl album. Katy offers up a Dos Pueblos Chargers cheerleading top she wore early in her career for a surprise homecoming concert at her high school alma mater. But Mike and Katy aren't the only famous folks to have threads up on the online auction block!

If you didn't catch last night's 2012 Teen Choice Awards, our dude Justin Bieber brought it HARD on stage, performing a medley of his smash singles "Boyfriend" and "As Long As You Love Me." The teen superstar cleaned up on the awards front, raking in a grand total of four surfboard trophies including *drumrolllllll* Choice Male Fashion Icon! The Biebz proved he was worth his salt on the sartorial front with an all-over metallic performance outfit, AND he brought back an updated version of that robot arm we saw last October.

Okay, so on one hand, Madonna's one-off Jean Paul Gaultier cage corset will probably never be available for wide public consumption. Nor will virtually ANY of her MDNA tour costumes. If you're anything like us, you've spent more than one sleepless night mourning this sad fact, clutching framed pictures of the JPG sketches in your bedroom with "Frozen" on constant repeat. Well, dry your eyes, chipmunks. According to our friends at InStyle, Madge's makeup artist Gina Brooke has teamed up with the cosmetics brand Make Up For Ever for a collaboration that will bring you that much closer to your MDNA dreams.

San Diego's International Comic-Con may be over for the year, but our cup runeth over with findings from the animated weekend. Between the amazing cosplayers and K.Stew off-duty outfits, we've unearthed (by way of Mother Monster's Twitter account) this seriously awesome Lady Gaga comic book which we vehemently refuse to shut up about! Michael Troy and his Going Gaga! are not the first to render Miss Germanotta in ink (see: Fame: Lady Gaga parts 1 AND 2), but it does a FANTASTIC job of reimagining some of our favorite music video and performance outfits from Gaga's sartorial colorful career thus far. *INSTA-smile attack*

Claire Boucher, AKA electro witch-pop musician Grimes, doesn't seem to have too much in common with Sleigh Bells frontwoman Alexis Krauss. These two killer performers might have drastically different music styles, but they were on the same page fashion-wise, at least, at Pitchfork Music Festival this weekend in Chicago, where they both rocked out in the ultimate easygoing rockstar uniform of shorts, sneakers, and ripped tights.

Our love of Kat Graham is not one we express too subtly here at MTV Style. Her sartorial acrobatics and unabashed wielding of all the hottest beauty trends are things we applaud on the DAILY around here, and this day is no exception. Kat was scheduled to appear and perform for a charity event with Bing and DoSomething.org this week, and for said event, Miss Graham skipped her trademark sleek ponytail for a short, sassy, curlicue 'do. She also wore not one, but TWO boldly printed ensembles that together make for a kind of work-to-weekend scenario.

Katy Perry May Retire Spinning Peppermint Bra

We throw around the phrase "beauty is pain" for a variety of situations - tweezing eyebrows, pushing through that last lap at the gym, even waking up an hour early to give our hair a little extra TLC - but apparently, in Katy Perry's case, the expression a bit of an understatement. According to a recent interview the "Wide Awake" singer gave with The Sun, Katy's insurers are pulling for her to shelve her iconic spinning peppermint bra for fear that the pop star may injure her neck. "Why would a candy-themed ladylump chariot have anything to do with her neck?" you might be shouting aloud at the computer screen. Well, Katy explains that, too.

Okayyyy okay, so crop tops aren't exactly uncharted territory when it comes to festival style (see: Coachella 2012), but just put down the Haterade and hear us out for a second. The fact that Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Rita Ora, and Jessie J ALL wore them at Wireless Festival is most definitely worth talking about. These four lovely ladies are each champions of a unique personal steez AND YET each performance powerhouse implemented the midriff-baring look (which BTW hasn't seen this sort of heyday since Britney Spears publicly hit puberty) on stage this weekend. Also, some of the most eye-buggingly crazy print-on-print combinations we've seen to date. There's something going on here. Let's dissect.

The second we hear that K-pop cuties 2NE1 and Jeremy Scott are working together on ANYTHING, we legitimately lose our shiz. Currently we're hardcore spazzing over Jeremy Scott's recent tweet, which revealed that he's designing 2NE1's upcoming tour costumes. And, like, excuse us if we're late to this party, but ASKJDALKSJD. He said, "YES ITS TRUE, ILL BE DESIGNING THE COSTUMES FOR 2NE1 FOR THEIR 1st WORLD TOUR !" 2NE1's New Evolution tour kicks off July 28th in the Olympic Gymnastics Stadium in South Korea (NBD), and then they will continue to travel the world for the first time ever (!!!) singing hits like "Ugly" and "I Am The Best" in only the most ferosh ensembles, obvs.

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.
