Last night, the most rich and famous and fashionable showed up at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the annual Costume Institute Ball. Last night’s theme was “Punk: Chaos to Couture” and let’s just say amid all the couture, there was certainly a lot of chaos…and a lot of gross.
Okay, so today is Earth Day, and a ton of green-minded celebs are celebrating! Also awesome? The slew of stars who go green because…well, because it’s pretty. From chartreuse to emerald, check out our favorite green fashion moments!
We’re kind of obsessed with Nicki Minaj’s stripped-down, April 2013 Elle cover — no neon lips, no fishnet, no vinyl, and yet, her signature bright blonde locks were 100% present and accounted for (just the way we like it). Inspired by Madame Minaj’s blonde bombshellery, we salute our thirty favorite bleached-out celebs!

When fans of American Idol found out that three new judges were joining Randy Jackson for season 12, there was all sorts of speculation that Mimi would be diva-licious, Keith Urban would provide legitimacy and Nicki Minaj would just…be there.
As it turns out, Nicki Minaj is probably the breakout star (along with Angela Miller, Candice Glover and Kree Harrison) of American Idol this year. We’ve compiled our top ten favorite reasons why we love to watch Nicki Minaj hold court on American Idol.
To be a truly A-list celeb in 2013, you must also have a sexy side-hustle. Sadly, most celeb-helmed handbag lines, fragrances, or retractable stripper pole collections (so bad, Kendra Wilkinson, so bad) are deeply tacky bombs. There are exceptions, though — and we’re not referring to behemoths like Jay-Z‘s Rocawear or Jessica Simpson‘s eponymous fashion empire (they’ve graduated from side projects to billion dollar Establishment Brands). No, we’re talking about random companies that’ll surprise you with their genius! Read more…
Oz The Great And Powerful opens tomorrow, giving us some background on the beloved family classic, The Wizard Of Oz. The prequel staring James Franco, Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams and Rachel Weisz tells the story of the of how the famed wizard arrived in the titular land, and also explores his relationship with the beautiful/terrifying Wicked Witch sisters, Theodora and Evanora!
Bad hair happens to even the most glamorous of us, as proven by Hollywood’s elite on Oscar night. Wacky styles were out in droves on the red carpet, from she’s-come-undone buns to long, platinum man-tresses (spotted mostly on Euro technical award nominees, natch). Here, the most insanely wrong coiffures of the evening — we won’t judge if you won’t.—Tia Williams
While Kanye‘s away, ranting about “Suit & Tie, his baby mama will play. Kim Kardashian found herself among Hollywood royalty last night, as well as all other L.A. denizens without a ticket to the actual awards portion of Oscar Sunday. But who cares! The mom-to-be, her sister Kourtney, and pal Nicki Minaj were just happy to have a reason to party. Keeping dreaming of one day achieving marginal stardom, kids. It might be just enough to get you into Elton John‘s annual award show fete. Click through for a look at Selena Gomez, Heidi Klum, Miley Cyrus, and the Oscar faves who celebrated well into the night.
Because after the show it’s the after-party, and after the party it’s… time for bed? Never.

Thanks to the rise of ultra snarky shows like Fashion Police, Hollywood’s A-List movie stars work their hardest during the 3-month slog that is Awards Season to stay out of the crosshairs of Joan Rivers and her band of catty cronies. Thankfully, our favorite musicians like Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj and Cee-Lo Green have no such qualms about making a genuine fashion statement on Grammy night.
Is that Nicki Minaj or the Barbie version of Nicki Minaj? Literally every photo we saw of the singer had the same or a combination of poses and facial expressions that you see above. These were taken at the American Idol Season 12 premiere event held at Royce Hall, UCLA yesterday Westwood, California. It’s like she was trying to totally out-dress that other AI female judge (*cough* Mariah Carey *cough*) because you know those two aren’t exactly BFF. Forget the hair and the neon lips — it’s the dress we’re shielding our eyes from. It’s so neon that we need sunglasses? It’s a bandage dress so our first thought is that it’s possible Herve Leger because he’s the king of bodycon bandage dresses. And then there are the crazy black-and-white platform, ankle-strap shoes. We see a tell-tale red sole we’re guessing these have to Christian Louboutin? It’s all very … Nicki. Is that a good thing, we don’t know? All we’re thinking is how much Spanx had to be worn underneath that dress to keep everything in place. Also, and this is a very serious question — how does anyone sit down in a dress like that without splitting a seam?
