The crowd ranged from tweens in kitten heels and crinolines (Suri Cruise in five years) to TwiMoms in satin and sequins. The accessory of the evening wasn’t sparkly jewels reminiscent of Edward’s sun-touched skin, but feathered headpieces that were more posh than goth. But back to the boys!

    See photos from the New Moon premiere after the jump.

    Agyness Deyn has done guest vocals on a song, been engaged to a musician and now has inspired a song–take a listen. [Modelina, via Grazia]

    It’s no Hilary Swank mowing a burger after winning an Oscar, but here’s Coco Rocha sharing a shot of her fast food side trip after the American Ballet Gala. [Oh So Coco, via Refinery 29]
