The Headwear Association of America has announced their 2012 winners and, well, it’s quite a diverse group. You may not think you have what it takes to rock a top hat to work or a fascinator to your local bar, but chances are you have something in common with at least one of these people: LL Cool J, Lady Gaga, Victoria Beckham and Kid Rock. The Headwear Association says their mission is “to promote the headwear industry” and they’ve recruited quite a crew to speak up on behalf of hats. LL has the Kangol look down (and the release actually says, “Ladies love cool James in a hat”) while Kid Rock, who’s often seen without a shirt, is rarely seen without a cowboy hat. We don’t often think of Victoria Beckham wearing something on her head, unless it’s a royal occasion, but we do always expect a topper on Gaga. Even without such dedicated hat-wearers, it was quite a year for hats given the attention paid to the royal family. And that brings us to the most glaring omission: If Fred Astaire and Marlene Dietrich can be inducted post-humously for their sartorial choices, surely Princess Beatrice can at least get an honorable mention for wearing the most talked about hat of the year?

For a young designer, with just a handful of seasons under her belt, Mary Katrantzou sure is getting a lot of play. Her influence—vibrant, digital prints mixed past messy and into a world of bohemian luxury—has been felt on dozens of spring runways. Outside the fashion industry, she’s earned a diverse group of Hollywood fans, too. This month alone she’s earned four major moments. Leelee Sobieski wore a halter look to the Met this week, while Alexa Chung donned a t-shirt like silhouette in New York. Anna Dello Russo wore a sleeveless version during New York Fashion Week and Keira Knightly wins most ladylike in the mid-calf length dress she wore at the Venice Film Festival. Which one’s your favorite?

When Christophe Decarnin was appointed creative director of Balmain in 2005 the house wasn’t known for rock and roll silhouettes. Pierre Balmain, the house’s founder and French couturier, was known for his elegant lines, strict sheath dresses and tailored suits, but Decarnin carved a new niche for himself—and the brand—as the master of all things cool. Within one season fashion’s most influential women were wearing shoulder pads and ripped jeans, accessorized with spiky stilettos and safety pinned t-shirts. Jackets suddenly cost five figures and ripped cotton tees were three—Balmain fever was making people crazy. Eventually, trends turned toward ladylike and Balmain lost some of its it-factor, but Decarnin didn’t stray from his aesthetic. Finally, last season, the designer either suffered from exhaustion or had a mental breakdown (depending on whom you ask) and the house was handed to Olivier Rousteing, a handsome young Parisian who’d been working with Decarnin since 2009. But after seeing Rousteing’s debut collection in Paris yesterday, “working with” might not cover it. Not much has changed between Decarnin’s last collection and Rousteing’s first. The colors—black, white, gold—and the skinny silhouettes are strikingly similar. But the consistency should keep customers happy; Bergdorf Goodman’s Linda Fargo told the WSJ, ““I think he did great!”

A still from the Proenza Schouler video. There are few high fashion houses who’d dare make a commercial. Some, like Alexander Wang, won’t even engage in print advertising—instead, Wang calls his posters “image pieces”—but good luck finding one who won’t spend thousands on a fashion film.
Amber.Stardoll- We always look so sweaty and blotchy after working out, but not Ashley Tisdale! She's glowing and looks refreshed and happy! How do you do it, Ash? We want to look like you after the gym!

- Aw so sweet! Jack Osbourne is engaged! We haven't heard much from Jack over the past few years, but he's been dating an aspiring actress named Lisa Stelly and apparently he's ready to settle down! A friend of Lisa's said that Jack is a "great influence on her...It's just no drama. More stable." Sounds good to us! Congrats Jack and Lisa! (usmagazine)

- We love Adele! She just released a new music video for the hit song, "Someone Like You!" This music video is amazing, it's so different from all the videos released today. It was shot in Paris and in almost one take! How amazing is that? Check it out!
