• We made the most AMAZING discovery this week. While Willow Smith was performing in England, we realized she dressed SO MUCH like M. Bison from Street Fighter. Uncanny how worlds collide...

• So, Jessica Simpson tweeted about her shoe collection coming out with a new "scuba" line and then linked to a monstergross pic of some flipper-heel hybrids. Every fashion blog reported about it, including Coco Perez, but we found that she was JOKING (doy). A day later Coco Perez reported that she was pullin' his leg... but neglected to bestow us the nod. Really?

• OMGGGGG, is Jersey Shore over already?!?! Oh well. We'll just stare at this picture of JWOWW wearing wrist warmers in the meantime.

• What were those hot dudes up to this week? Jesse Williams looked extremely hot with AND without glasses (but we prefer with), Reece Thompson will be our new husband, The Strokes sizzled at SXSW, Clive Owen rocked a gnarly dad 'stache, and Paul Rudd did disheveled just right.

• Lady Gaga gave the INTERVIEW TO END ALL INTERVIEWS (please never stop giving us interviews, though, kthx) at a Google thingie this week, and we loved every second of it. Here are the highlights.

• Mega gorge Oh Land stopped by MTV to talk FASHUN, and now we're totally obsessed with her. Go get her self-titled album. It's out RIGHT NOW.

• Wanna dress like a celeb? Get Taylor Swift's Anthropologie dress, Lo Bosworth's Topshop skirt and top, Selena Gomez and Kendall Jenner's Sherri Hill dress, America's Next Top Model contestant Mikaela's gingham wedges, Audrina Patridge's patent leather platform pumps, or Steven Tyler's Chico's sunglasses and jacket (JK!!!).

• Spring trends are HEREEEEE! This week we loved: cutout manicures, unpretty lace, bangs, and graffiti? Yep.

• Elizabeth Taylor passed away. So we commemorated her life the only way we know how—by screenprinting her face on a bunch of T-shirts. We poured out some White Diamonds, too...

• Jeffrey Campbell released his new lookbook, which featured bagsbagsbags galore aaaaand...Harry Potter-style specs.

• And lastly: Would you EVER wear Crocs Jelly Flats? P.S.: This question is kinda a no-brainer.

See you Monday, peoples!

Kim Kardashian Takes Name Suggestions For New Scent, Abercrombie & Fitch Creates 'Push-Up' Bikini Top For Children (!!!), And More Fashion News

• This week Kim Kardashian, who is working on her third eau de parfum, opened up the floodgates by tweeting that she's taking fragrance name suggestions. Responses ran the gamut from "Kimberlicious" and "Karma," to "Overexposed" and "American Booty." Lesson: Careful what you ask for on Twitter. {Allure}

• Just when we thought baby high heels were about as bad as it could get (in terms of grown-up clothes little people have no business wearing), Abercrombie & Fitch is now featuring a range of "Push-Up Triangle" bikini tops in their children's swimwear line. In what meeting did people decide that this was a cool idea for a 7-year-old?! {Racked}

• Wondering what every PYT will be swinging over their shoulder this spring? Louis Vuitton's "Alma Nomade" satchel, Jil Sander's "Market" tote, Proenza Schouler's cross-body bag, or Celine's zip-around shoulder bag, say celeb stylists. {People}

• We knew that the late Elizabeth Taylor loved her some bling (it's just one of the many reasons why we loved her), but we didn't know her affinity for gemstones was worth $150 million! {Huffington Post}

• In Anna Wintour's WSJ magazine feature story, the editrix admits to regretting putting The Spice Girls on Vogue's January 1998 cover. {Jezebel}

• Havaianas, the famed Brazilian flip-flop company, is branching out and introducing its first closed-toe creation on Monday. We're still debating if the design is cool or if Havaiana should just stick to flip-flops. Thoughts? {Stylelist}

• Seventeen-year-old Miss Antonio Domonique Ramirez was stripped of her title for being too fat. RUDE! But a Texas courtroom recently relinquished the beauty queen's crown. Justice served. {Huffington Post}

• Design house Liberty of London has teamed up with Nike on a collection of floral sneakers. There's nothing like flowers to make it feel like spring (when it's really snowing outside!). {SheFinds}

• Ex-French Vogue Editor in Chief Carine Roitfeld has a new 9-to-5—the fashion plate will act as editor, muse, and stylist for Barneys' Fall 2011 catalog, campaign, mailers, and the Madison Avenue windowscapes. {Fashionologie}

• Guess what (heh)? Actress Amber Heard (from Pineapple Express and Zombieland) has been named spokesmodel for the new Guess 2011 fall campaign. {People StyleWatch}

• Colorblocking was all the rage on the spring runways, including Proenza Schouler and Christopher Kane. If you think "colorblocking" has something to do with Legos or crayons, watch this how-to. {Fabsugar}

• According to this video, a dab of aspirin will calm the mean-red Mt. Vesuvius-size zit on our chin. We'll believe it when we see it. {Styelist}

• This almost seems too bonkers to be true: A mom in the UK reportedly pumps Botox into her 8-year-old daughter's face to "ensure she stays looking younger and baby-faced for longer." {Fashionista}

• Who does Brooklyn Decker look like now with her new choppy bob haircut? We can't quite put or finger on it... (She cut off 10 inches!) {Stylelist}

• "I personally know of one model who dipped cotton balls in orange juice and consumed it to feel full," says Janice Celeste, mother of supermodel Sessilee Lopez, in her tell-all (disturbing/addictive) book, Making a Supermodel. {Huffington Post}

• The same company that made those tinsel extensions that Beyoncé wore to the Grammys last year, has now set their sights on plumage. Hair Flairs now offers an at-home feather extension kit. Feather Party. {Allure}

• We thought that a fragrance made to smell like human poo was gross enough. Then we saw the fragrance's ad. GROSSEST. {Fashionista}

• More fashion designers. More legal woes. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana (Dolce & Gabbana) have been accused of tax fraud for failing to pay taxes on more than $1 billion in income, and will soon stand trial...and could face jail time. We're deeply upset. And intensely preoccupied with what they'll wear to court. {The Cut}

• Check out Gisele Bündchen's full Vogue Paris spread. It's bedraggled (seriously) in all of the right ways. {Styleite}

Remembering Elizabeth Taylor In An Admittedly Oddball Way. We Are Into It. Don't Judge.

Posted 3/23/11 5:07 pm EST by Ayren Jackson-Cannady in Ladies, Random

Photo: Getty Images

Like you, we here at MTV Style woke up to the startling and upsetting news that queen of Hollywood and ample-bosomed home to some of the universe's best jewelry, Elizabeth Taylor, had passed away. As we perused the wires, we kept being reminded of how important a fashion and beauty icon Ms. Taylor was throughout her career. Like, did you know that the $194,800 budget for Elizabeth Taylor's 65 costumes in 1963's Cleopatra was the highest ever for a single screen actor (like bolts of REAL GOLD FABRIC). Oh, and bet you didn't know that she was born with two rows of eyelashes...yes, really. Plus, she shaved her entire face to exfoliate it? Annnnnd, even though she was in her upper 70s, she tweeted up until February under "DameElizabeth" (of course, DameElizabeth!), and once said: "Life without earrings is empty!"

Gah, we love this lady. Kiiiinda can't deal how much we'll miss her. So while other blogs and media outlets are honoring the legend through elegant photo montages and tearjerker memoriams, we here at MTV Style are giving Elizabeth Taylor her propers by pouring out some White Diamonds Parfums de Coeur and whipping up some DIY fashion (if we owned the mint and could print money in her likeness we'd SO do that instead). Sorta like the Johnny Depp Crybaby shirts that we hold so dear. Now, go forth and make one yourself and rock it hard...with cubic zirconium.

• Stylist to the stars Rachel Zoe is having her baby/just had her baby RIGHT NOW! Cue the Michael Kors booties, the Vera Wang baby bottles and the Francisco Costa bottles. What, they don't exist? They will now. {Styleite}

• In her cover story for the UK magazine Fabulous, Rihanna says she chose red (instead of green, purple, or pink) for her hair because it was "like the fine line between normal and extreme." {Coco Perez}

• If you like patterns and one-shoulder frocks, you're going to love Matthew Williamson's Impulse for Macy's line. If you don't like that aesthetic, that's OK too. *shrugs* {Glamour}

• Oof. According to reports, 32 percent of British women under the age of 30 have started to go gray, which is up 14 percent from just a couple of decades ago. Stress strikes again. Also, maaaaaaybe the reason behind the latest rash of going-gray-for-style? {Huffington Post}

• Steven Tyler reportedly gets stem cell facials, eyelash extensions, and wears makeup. Work! {Allure}

• Max Azria, sir, we love your designs (especially this bandage swimsuit that you designed for Herve Leger), but really? Beachwear that we can't get wet? Really?! {Coco Perez}

• Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen wax on leaving the big bad world of acting for the big bad world of fashion design in this month's issue of Vogue. {Huffington Post}

• Who will be designing looks for Ricky Martin's upcoming Musica + Alma + Sexo world tour? Giorgio Armani of course! {People StyleWatch}

• Soooooo Jane Pratt is launching TWO websites (and maybe helping out on a magazine?)—one for fortysomethings and one for teens (for which she's enlisted the help of wunderkind Tavi Gevinson). We smell an empire. Also, full disclosure, our own senior editor was quoted in the article. #coughcough {WWD}

Mugler Creative Director Shelled Out 20K To Get Zombie Boy To Paris, The Story Of The Red Louboutin Sole Revealed, And More Fashion News

Posted 3/22/11 12:09 pm EST by Ayren Jackson-Cannady in Random, Style Snippets

Zombie Boy a.k.a Rick Genest.

• To get the excessively tatted Rick Genest (aka Zombie Boy) to Paris to walk in the Mugler runway shows, Nicola Formichetti spared no expense—the creative director paid off Zombie's nearly $20,000 legal fees, which were preventing him from getting a passport. That's dedication (related: We love you Zombie Boy! Call us!). {Fashionologie}

• We'd always imagined that Christian Louboutin got his red sole idea from a magical fever dream or even Louis XIV. But, really, he admits in the New Yorker that the idea came while watching an assistant paint her nails. Exactly where we get all our best ideas. #fumes {Glamour}

• The Obama ladies' frocks were cute, but what really caught our eyes was Michelle, Sasha, and Malia's wrists, loaded with chunky bracelets. Hmmm, we wonder if President Obama felt left out. {Glamour}

• Inspired to rock armfuls of jewelry now? Grab these... {Refinery}

• To promote her new album, Born This Way, Lady Gaga released a photo of herself looking deliberately emaciated (prosthetic cheekbones, painted eyebrows, etc.). Thoughts? {Daily Mail}

• Christie's is auctioning off a RIDIC Chanel package that includes a hotel stay in Paris, dinners, front row seats at the Chanel Couture fashion show, a meet-and-greet with Karl Lagerfeld, and a Chanel handbag. Bids are currently at $21,000 (!!!), and proceeds go to earth-preservation non-profit organizations. {Coco Perez}

• That Burberry Bonded Nappa Biker Studded Trench coat that EVERY celeb is wearing these days costs almost $8,000! Why don't you save yourself $7,940 (for college or a car or an international vacay) and DIY that ish. Here's how... {Who What Wear}

• Yo, kids, GQ magazine is on the hunt for NYC-based fashion lovers to intern in the publications Fashion Editorial department over the summer for college credit. What are you waiting for? {Fashionista}

• And, P.S.: MTV Style is hiring too! We're looking for a Production Assistant who is a fan of fashion, music and pop culture, and who can write (about fashion, music and pop culture) at a dizzying pace with a dazzling point of view—who can DANCE. {Mediabistro}

• Lady Gaga revealed her beauty routine to People magazine, and it's pretty much what you'd expect of the unconventional star—she sleeps in her makeup, she gets "chemical haircuts," and she craves foot massages (um, with all those sky-high shoes she wears, of course she does). {The Cut}

• In her new ad for Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick, Zooey Deschanel looks like our neighbor—the one on the third floor with the cute French bulldog named Ned. The point: Zooey is soooooo Photoshopped that she looks NOTHING like herself. {Huffington Post}

• If you're in NYC this Thursday or Friday, make plans to swing by the 3.1 Phillip Lim sample sale (open to the public...woot-woot!), where all proceeds will go to the American Red Cross to help the relief efforts in Japan. {Racked}

• New Zealand clothing brand Stolen Girlfriends Club staged a real fashion show in the aisles of an unsuspecting grocery store. #Awesome {Elle}

• Just when we thought Prada couldn't make an uglier-chic shoe as the flat form, they come out with a shoe-boot inspired by Marge Simpson's red pumps. {Styleite}

• Rachel Bilson and Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld have teamed up for a new video series for Magnum ice cream. Nomnomnom! {InStyle}

• Selena Gomez admits that she's skeptical about how her beau Justin Bieber will look with a 'stache. Yeah, girl, we are too! {People StyleWatch}

• Willow Smith is one brave lady! The 10-year-old pop star is rocking neon yellow braids (not an easy hue to pull off!) for performances in the United Kingdom. {Just Jared}

• We know what you've always wanted—to have a picture of your gorgeous mug emblazoned on a piece of wearable art worn by Lady Gaga. Thanks to a collaboration between the pop star; the creative director of Thierry Mugler, Nicola Formichetti; and MAC Viva Glam, now you can. {Styleite}

• Rihanna looked DEVASTATINGLY GORGEOUS on the cover (and inside!) of the April 2011 issue of Vogue. Her fiery red hair, her flawless skin—we can't get enough! ILU RiRi.

• Jersey Shore's Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola celebrated her birthday (the big two four) this weekend by trying something new—crimped strands of hair! We were left pondering why she only decided to do two strands and not her whole head, but it's her birthday and she does what she wants to.

• At the 2011 Woodie Awards in Austin, Texas, we were MORE than impressed with all the lads' and ladies' stylish ensembles! The dudes donned skinny ties, the girls just looked straight up HOT, and we tracked down Wiz Khalifa's Johnny Depp tee performance outfit!! Also, we caught up with Alexis Krauss from Sleigh Bells for some hot fashion tipz.

• What were those hot dudes up to this week? Rain KILLED IT on the Esquire Korea cover, James Franco and Zac Efron showed off the newest boy trend: armpits, Patrick Dempsey flashed his McChesticles, Sliimy proved he's a rising style star, and Brad Pitt got an interesting haircut, which then made us compile EVERY HAIRSTYLE HE'S EVER HAD. (You're welcome.)

• We tracked down the cutest Brit "It" girls from across the pond! Meet Fearne Cotton, Jessie J, and Bip Ling! #obsessed

• The fashion face-offs continue! Who wore it best: Scarlett Johansson vs. Kate Bosworth vs. Diane Kruger or Lindsay Lohan vs. Jennifer Hudson?

• Wanna look like a celeb?! Well, now you can! Get a hot pink prom dress like Debby Ryan, almond-shaped nails like Lady Gaga, a french braid like Liv Tyler, African-inspired prints like Whitney Port, bright pink eyeshadow like Kristen Wiig, or a braided hair wrap headband like Nicole Scherzinger.

• This week we had some burning questions: Should you buy your wedding dress online? Is the Texas tuxedo making a comeback? Does Joe Jonas have a soul patch?!?! LUCKILY, Lady Gaga is answering any questions you want this week and this week only!! So like... maybe you could ask her these die-hard questions for us. Because we REALLY wanna know the answers.

• Spring trends are in full effect! This week we loved: ruffled tiers and platform shoes.

SPRING WEATHER IS HEREEREREE!!! Time to buy tons of floral dresses and go for bike rides ASAP. See you Monday!

• Lauryn Hill’s gene pool is STRONG. Check out the singer's 12-year-old daughter, Selah Marley, modeling in the April issue of Teen Vogue. It's like Lauryn circa Sister Act. For realz. {Coco Perez}

• Gorge celeb (who we bet smells lovely, too) Eva Mendes has replaced Naomi Watts as the face of Thierry Mugler's iconic perfume Angel. Sweeeeeet. {InStyle}

• The dress (bikini cover-up?) that princess-to-be Kate Middleton wore in a 2002 charity fashion show is being auctioned off today in London. So what's all the hubbub about—it's just a sheer tube dress?! Well, it's the same sheath that helped Kate get noticed by Prince William. Boys will be boys. {Glamour}

• Here's a good reason to add to our already-massive T-shirt collection—H&M is debuting its first Knot Violence Non-Violence line featuring tees and bags with knotted-gun graphics by artist Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd. The shop will donate 10 percent of sales to the Non Violence Project Foundation. {Racked}

• TOMS shoes creator Blake Mycoskie sure knows how to leave you in suspense. He recently announced that the company would be branching out from shoes, but he won't give details until June 7! Patience is NOT our virtue. {Fashionologie}

• Denim wax strips make the gawd-awful procedure of a bikini wax less painful, discovers journalist (our own field reports pending). {Allure}

• Didn't make it on Project Runway?...or The Fashion Show? You're in luck—NBC is casting amateur and professional designers for a new competition show. {The Cut}

• Fashion designer Nicole Miller is capitalizing on the whole social media thing—she's smartly launched Nicole Miller TV, where fans can get a closer look into her world. Studio time and private dinner parties abound. {Fashionista}

• Monique Lhullier snaps up another celeb-bride-to-be. Reese Witherspoon has reportedly chosen to wear one of the designer's gowns when she gets hitched to CAA Agent Jim Toth. Done and done (eh-hmm, Kate Middleton). {Us}

• Were we the only ones that didn't know that Giorgio Armani owned a basketball team?! The Milan-based squad is called the Olimpia Armani Jeans. That is all. {Refinery}
