Jay-Z closed his sold out 8-show inauguration of Brooklyn's Barclays Center last night with a ROARING crowd and jaw-dropping surprise appearance from international superstar wife Beyonce. The Carters put the final stamp on the "Home of the Brooklyn Nets" with a heart-warming encore performance of "Young Forever," but before Jigga even stepped on stage for Sunday's final show, he made headlines by taking the subway to the concert. Naturally, Jay opted for some equally head-turning togs for the out-of-the-ordinary (well, for a legendary emcee, that is) transportation move: a Jean-Michel Basquiat t-shirt from MTV Style favorite Deer Dana.

Attention, internet! Allow us to introduce you to your new favorite model, Cara Delevingne. All those Harry Styles romance rumors aside, we've been obsessed with the 20-year-old Londoner ever since we spotted her in last season's Burberry campaign, and it's safe to say this girl is absolutely BLOWING UP. She walked in pretty much every single major show this season- Roberto Cavalli, Chanel, Marc Jacobs, you name it- AND is jumpstarting her acting career in the upcoming big screen remake of Anna Karenina. But what we really want to talk about is her killer personal style. She mixes Rick Owens's "Ima Read" hats (borrowed from the Zebra Katz song, naturally) with vintage "DARE" t-shirts and Jeremy Scott's The Simpsons sweater ....in other words, she's got the high-low thing down. But our favorite Cara outfit staple comes courtesy of L.A. streetwear brand Dimepiece, which she tops off with TONS of attitude.

Alright, are you guys ready for a House of Style double whammy?! Earlier this week we brought you Lacee Swan's model t-shirts featuring our new House of Style host Karlie Kloss. And now we've learned that Deer Dana has teamed up with Opening Ceremony on a new tee inspired by our original HOS girl, Cindy Crawford! **MIND EXPLOSION** Obviously, we need to have them both. And the fact that the Cindy version comes courtesy of one of our favorite NYC-based streetwear brands is just the icing on top of this veryyyy fashionable cake! Deer Dana's already rolled out tees splashed with images of Kanye, Justin Bieber, and Agyness Deyn, so it's about time the original 'supes gets her own. Along with Cindy, the Deer Dana x OC collection also includes Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista.... um, hello '90s reunion!

Halloween 2012: Lady Gaga Costume Ideas!

Posted 10/5/12 4:14 pm EST by Gaby Wilson in Halloween, Ladies, Shopping

Happy Friday, y'all! If you're a big do-it-yourself-er and are in the market for a heavy-lifting Halloween costume you can get cracking on NOW, might we suggest going this year as Lady Gaga? Mother Monster is not only well-versed in the world of high fashion (who else would the House Versace trust to bring "THAT dress" back??), she's also a couture connoisseur, dreaming up more daily one-off ensembles than there are days in a year. Lady Gaga is the kind of pop star Halloween was made for, and we at MTV Style are obviously subscribers to her every move, making us the perfect fit to unpack her iconic looks for your All Hallows evening. Put your paws up, roll up your sleeves, and be prepared to get a little dirty. Your Mother Monster Halloween hack starts now!

1. MEAT DRESS REPRISE

Gaga made The Meat Dress a household name back at the 2010 Video Music Awards, which may make you think it's played. BUT Gagaloo brought the beef frock back this year for her current Born This Way Ball tour and in an updated (also, WAY easier to replicate) strapless version with a bullett belt! Get a similar look yourself by nabbing up a strapless cotton/jersey dress with a bit of a flared skirt. Print close-up photos of raw meat onto a TON of sheets of iron-on transfer paper. Follow the directions on the packaging and adhere the sheets to the dress - the paper will also make the flouncy skirt a little more rigid like Gaga's. Slip on a bullet belt at the waist of the dress, a pair of fishnet heels, and you're ready to go!

+ Dress: Cotton Spandex Jersey High-Waist Skirt ($34.00)
+ Belt: Bullet Belt ($5.99)
+ Iron-On Transfer Paper: Epson Iron-On Cool Peel Transfer Paper ($14.62)

Get Excited For 'House Of Style' With Model T-Shirts!

WE.CAN'T.WAIT. You guys, House of Style officially launches SO SOON! Our brains are seriously going to be in Karlie Kloss and Joan Smalls go-mode until we see them in action on October 15...and yes, our HOS anticipation is even sneaking into our closet, as well. Supermodel t-shirts have been popping up for the last couple years, with indie brands like Deer Dana and designers like Markus Lupfer rolling out tees splashed with our favorite flawless faces. But when we spotted Brooklyn artist and blogger Lacee Swan's take on the trend with the "Karlie," we HAD to get the back story on our HOS host-inspired top. According to Lacee, the idea behind her collection actually sprung from the '90s supermodel era, which, as you know, was TOTALLY the original HOS steez. "I grew up in the '90s in the time of Cindy, Naomi, and the rest of the models, and I was disappointed when that moment faded away," she remembers." I'm trying to bring that back through my T-shirt obsession."

Halloween 2012: One Direction Group Costume Ideas!

Posted 10/3/12 6:05 pm EST by Gaby Wilson in Dudes, Halloween, Shopping

Feel that crisp chill in the air? Yep, that's fall. Along with the autumnal turning leaves and apple cider, that means *drumrolllllll* HALLOWEEN SEASON IS UPON US. We've put together a long series of solo AND group costumes *brushes shoulders off* that will roll out this month as we approach All Hallow's Eve, and we're kicking October off with one of our favorite ones yet: a One Direction group costume!! Wrangle up your four best friends and start divvying up who's going to be Harry, Zayn, Liam, Niall, and Louis, grab a 5-pack of Hanes Tagless white tees, have everyone (except whoever's being Louis) dig up their favorite pair of khakis (or cop these $19.75 ones from Aeropostale if you're REALLY committed to the boy band uniformity), and check out what we've rounded up for you below for the rest!

HARRY STYLES

Nailing the signature One Direction hair is CRUCIAL for the proper execution of this group costume, so grabbing wigs and not being afraid to style them appropriately are key factors to getting this right. Harry is unofficially "The Preppy One," so get his look with a crested navy blazer (this one is definitely more of an investment piece, but you can also pin a patch on this Forever 21 blazer for a similar look that's much more affordable) and line the lapel with white electrical tape for that fresh contrast piping. Grab your white tee, khakis, and red lo-top Chucks, muss up your hair to perfection, and you're ready to go!

+ Wig: Leading Man Brown Wig ($18.99)
+ Blazer: Blair Blazer ($140.00)
+ Shoes: Red Converse All Star Ox Trainers ($70.36)
+ Tape: 3M White Electrical Tape ($13.87)

If you're a vintage fashion fiend and have ever visited New York City, there's a good chance one of your first stops was Screaming Mimi's in NoHo. The eclectic village boutique offers expertly curated vintage wares making it one of those stores that you enter and leave three hours late in a euphoric fashion daze. And that's just for most of the year. If you're planning a trip to Screaming Mimi's, as the name might suggest, the best time to go is around Halloween. The shop's owner, Laura Willis, is the queen of Halloween, and decks out the bright exterior of her shop with heart-stoppingly elaborate window displays that would put the winner of any costume contest to shame. It's only natural, therefore, that when Target was looking to add a little stylish flair to their Halloween lookbook they would enlist Willis, and that she, in turn, would create amazing, totally prize-worthy costumes from just what the store already had in their stock.

There's no question the The xx's new album Coexist is a breathtaking musical trip. But if you're looking for some visuals to complement the already-amazing audio experience, then Urban Outfitters is here to help. The retail giant has joined forces with the U.K. band on a brand-new 'zine which debuts in UO stores nationwide this week. Shot by famed music photographer Jamie-James Medina (known for his intimate portraits of everyone from Taylor Swift to Lady Gaga), The Tourist marks the third collab between the shutterbug and the musical trio in which he follows the group all over the world. According to Jamie, " It’s the perfect environment to capture music and musicians in their natural state — on the road, away from home. I wanted to create a publication that showcased exclusive, high-end photography in an affordable zine-format, so we created The Tourist."

Lena Dunham Slays Falls Biggest Trends In 'ASOS' Magazine

Posted 10/2/12 11:00 am EST by Maud Deitch in 'It' Girls, Magazines, Shopping

Anyone who is acting like it's any big surprise that Lena Dunham gives great face in the latest edition of ASOS magazine is just plain silly, because we've known she was basically the coolest for a while now. The 26 year old renaissance woman (I mean, writer/director/actress kind of qualifies, right? Or maybe triple threat would be more appropriate?) has taken the world by storm this year with her HBO smash Girls, which we usually love but sometimes hate because it's a liiiiittle too close to our own lives in New York (but we still love it, even then). But all that aside, Lena looks super cute running around the streets of Brooklyn in a-line skirts, adorable embellished collars, acid washed denim, and saddle shoes. It's basically a fall trend feast, brought to you by ASOS. Before we max out our credit cards getting ourselves suited up to reenact the shoot (where can one get balloons shaped like dogs wearing bandanas?), we just wanted to squeal over this spread a little more. Check out more photos after the jump, and see what Lena has to say about her own fashion sense.

First, can we just say we wish every online shopping experience included GIFs. Not only are they super fun, but they also show the clothes in action, which is super important and basically the thing that's missing when shopping online. Well, Liz Lee knows our pain, which is why she has given MTV Style exclusive gifs from her shoot for her eBay store (launched today!) The.Grays. She's selling everything from limited edition Black Milk bathing suits and leggings, vintage starter jackets (GET AT US), Jeffrey Campbells, vintage boots and denim, and TONS more. She will be adding items throughout the day, so keep checking back as more and more awesomeness goes up. Need even more incentive? A percentage of the proceeds from the sale will be donated to the American Cancer Society in honor of Lee's grandfather Ron Trego. Sick new duds and good deeds? Co-Sign. See more exclusive gifs and hear more about the sale after the jump!
