Samantha Spins Solo

Charlotte Ronson‘s runway show at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week in February was quite a different story in the ongoing saga that is Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan. Although at the last show, Sam and Lilo snuggled in the DJ booth while Sam worked, at today’s show Lindsay was nowhere to be seen! Perhaps it had to do with her bizarre Twitter rant at Samantha yesterday. Who knows with these two – they might be two peas in a pod by tomorrow. Check out our gallery of Samantha spinning solo at sister Charlotte Ronson’s show. [Photos: Splash News Online]

Never Too Young Four Fashion

With stylish mama Solange Knowles and a ferociously fashionable auntie like Beyonce, no wonder little Daniel Julez J. Smith wants to start learning about fashion early. Solange took her four-year-old son to the Bryant Park tents for Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week today and by the looks of his casually chic black blazer, pants, checkered shirt and tennis shoes, this little guy is off to a great start! Maybe his Uncle Jay-Z has been giving him some tips!  [Photos: Splash News Online]

EXCLUSIVE: Nicky Hilton: Paris And I Are “Polar Opposites”

Sisters Nicky and Paris Hilton always make headlines with their fashion choices, but according to Nicky, dressing up wasn’t always fun and games. TheFABlife caught up with the younger of the Hilton sisters at Charlotte Ronson‘s runway show today at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week.

“We fought over clothes. We did not like sharing,” Nicky told TheFABlife. As for now, the two sisters have no problem fighting over duds, because, according to Nicky, they don’t like the same things!

“We have such different styles, polar opposites, so it’s not really a problem,” Nicky tells TheFABlife. [Photo: Getty Images]

Taylor Momsen: Underage In Underwear

Gossip Girl star Taylor Momsen‘s mother clearly did not see her outfit (or lack thereof) as she left for Fashion’s Night Out yesterday in NYC. There is no way any parent would approve of their 16-year-old daughter going out in public wearing nothing but a sheer button-up, a garter belt, and  sequined panties.  Lil J’, you’re growing up too fast! We’re worried. [Photo: Getty Images]

Gwen Stefani Pulls Off Blue Eyeshadow

Not many people could pull off blue eyeshadow, but leave it to fashion forward Gwen Stefani who brought back the 80s trend last night when she appeared at a Fashion’s Night Out Bloomingdales event. Gwen kept with what seems to be the all-black trend at this Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week, but added her own stylish twist with some black, green, and yellow platform sandals. Gwen was perfectly funky yet fashionable as usual! [Photos: Splash News Online]

TheFABlife At Fashion Week: Mary-Kate And Ashley Make A Mean Cocktail

mary-kate-and-ashley

Pint-sized billionaires Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen aren’t just merchandising and entertainment moguls, they also make a mean cocktail, as TheFABlife tasted first hand at the Bergdorf Goodman Fashion’s Night Out party last night. The line was out the door on the seventh floor of the luxury New York City department store at 7 pm, when the twins were scheduled to appear. Although there were hundreds waiting to see what Mary-Kate and Ashley would mix up, only a few party-goers were let into the seventh floor bar, and luckily one of them was us!

Mary-Kate and Ashley, who channeled the 80s with tousled hair and dark lipstick and were dressed all in black, happily mixed up pink cosmos for the  crowd. Ashley was quite a friendly bartender, making us a tasty cocktail and then asking if it was OK. Although the drinks were delicious, we couldn’t stay long, as we had another celebrity pal to meet up with downtown. Cheers! [Photos: Stephen Mao]

TheFabLife At Fashion Week: Our Night With Rihanna

rihanna-fashion-night-out-1

You would think that after a traumatic year filled with court appearances and constant paparazzi attention, an A-list diva like Rihanna would keep to herself. Not so, as TheFABlife discovered after hanging with RiRi at the Intermix/Paper Magazine event in new York City last night.

Rihanna arrived at the Fashion’s Night Out soiree at a little after 9 pm, and stayed for only a few minutes, but luckily spent some time hanging with us. Although the singer has been chased by media for the last few months, the perfectly put together starlet was happy to chat with TheFABlife about our other favorite thing: fashion!

“I’m so excited for Fashion Week,” Rihanna tells TheFABlife. “I’m wearing Alexander Wang and Balmain,” RiRi said of her futuristic sunglasses and black veil dress that hugged her curvaceous figure. After being ushered into a private corner of the store, Rihanna and TheFABlife shared a laugh about the circus that the event had become. Overall, she seemed to be in great spirits, and with a collaboration with Jay-Z and Kanye West under her belt and a new album allegedly on the way, why shouldn’t she be?

“Time to go,” the singer laughed before being escorted out of the event and through the SoHo streets, which had become cluttered with fans and party-goers waiting to catch a glimpse of the “Disturbia” singer, until she was whisked away into her chauffeured SUV. [Photos: Stephen Mao]

Victoria Beckham Forgets How To Pose

A raft of A-listers like Kate Hudson, Gwen Stefani, Charlize Theron and more took to the streets of NYC last night to lend their support to Fashion’s Night Out, including one Victoria Beckham. But something doesn’t seem quite right about Posh’s appearance at Bergdorf Goodman.

The normally immaculately dressed fashionista wore an outfit that just screamed junior hooker (sorry, but skintight flouro dresses and thigh-high leather boots just say Pretty Woman to us) and proceeded to pose incredibly, unbelieveably awkwardly for the cameras. She’s had enough practice at it in the past so we’re baffled – was it those ordinary, normal sized people standing too close that made Posh nervous? [Photo: Splash News Online]

From the classic little black dress to sleek black pants and jackets, black is back! [Photos: Splash News Online]
