See all the Le Mindu Minx designs »
Famous for creating wigged-out costumes for Lady Gaga, designer and hairstylist Charlie Le Mindu often makes headlines for extremely avant-garde runway shows. (Think: nude models painted with wisps of hair.) So it came as no surprise when Le Mindu partnered with Minx for Spring 2012, delivering a collection of outfits and hairpieces constructed exclusively from more than 25,000 nail decals—in custom patterns, of course.

While Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga were the big winners on stage at last night’s MTV Europe Music Awards, we have our top picks for best dressed on the red carpet. Singer Jessie J kept her typically ferocious look going strong with a black and yellow leopard print dress by Dolce & Gabbana—one of many outfits she wore during the night. Selena Gomez also made multiple outfit changes during the awards (9 to be exact!), but with good reason: she was hosting the show. We love her in this white long-sleeved minidress by Marchesa, it certainly pulls the focus away from those pesky rumours surrounding her boyfriend… Moving on! Katy Perry continues her retro-girl vibe with pink pin-up curls (we’re thankful she finally touched up her roots) and a Grease-worthy ensemble from Jeremy Scott’s Spring 2012 collection. The designer was also her date to the show. And model Bar Refaeli wore a custom-designed dress by Replay, which, if you like it, can be described as having an ombre waterfall hem. If you don’t like it, we’re not entirely opposed to the term “mullet dress.”

Known for her crazy outfits and antics—like showing up to the Grammys in an egg—we aren’t shocked by Lady Gaga’s cover for the newest issue of Visionaire Magazine. Styled by her BFF Nicola Formichetti, she appears as an oil-slicked mermaid—standard fare for the pop star, really. What is outrageous, however, is the magazine’s literal take on the issue’s theme of larger than life. The deluxe issue measures in at 5×7 feet (yes, that’s taller than the average human) and costs a cool $1,500. (The standard issue is a measly 3×4 feet in size, and much more affordable.) It should go without saying the size has broken a Guinness World Record. Read more »

It’s hard to top a Gaga performance, let alone when she’s dressed in complete drag, but Beyoncé’s double baby rub/reveal at last night’s MTV Video Music Awards just about killed any mention of the Mother Monster and/or Jo Calderone for the rest of the evening, if not the entire day following.
For the first baby rub of the night, Bey dressed in a bright-orange, loose Lanvin one-shoulder dress. Easy, loose, baby rub approps. And then a glittering Dolce & Gabbana tux: glitter baby rub!
Beyoncé’s first two public preggo outfits hopefully signified that Bey isn’t quite ready to give up the couture. So, what designer duds are in her expanding future? Maybe now is the time to expand the House of Deréon and Rocawear with maternity lines.

Last night’s MTV Video Music Awards was certainly full of news, from Beyoncé’s big baby reveal to Katy Perry’s four outfit changes to Lady Gaga’s first public appearance as her drag alter ego Joe Calderone, who had previously only been seen on the cover of Vogue Hommes Japan last September. Who though, tops the list as the best dressed?
