    A still from Inez & Vinoodh's Dior commercial. Ferragamo hasn’t even held their fancy dinner in the Louvre yet and Dior’s already one-upping them—sort of. Though their spring campaign video isn’t intimate (it’s on YouTube), it was shot at Versailles and features Dior-clad models running through the castle’s gilded halls.  Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin shot the living campaign, starring Daria Strokus, Melissa Stasiuk and Xiao Wen Ju in Bill Gaytten’s last collection for the house.  A release notes the house’s long history with the palace, from the names of Dior’s first collection—Fete a Trianon, Bal a Trianon—to the brand’s most recent ad campaign, the storied French house has made Versailles its sort of unofficial home.  Click through to watch!

    This morning, the New York Post reported that Kate Upton was going to the Met Ball.  Fine, so are a hundred other models.  But the paper said Upton, who gets more famous by the day, whipped out her checkbook and bought her own $25,000 ticket. Most people do not buy tickets, especially not models.  Brands buy tables for hundreds of thousands of dollars and invite their faces and a few celebrities to join them on the big night…which is exactly what happened here.  The part that the Post does get right is that Upton will be sat at Michael Kors’ table, along with the designer, Jessica Alba, Hillary Swank and Liu Wen.  “We invited her to join us,” a source at Michael Kors said of Upton this afternoon. “The Post story is BS.” At this rate, we expect to see Upton on a Balenciaga-caliber runway come September.

    John Mayer has finally released a new single and it's about his old flame, Jennifer Aniston. John and Jen dated off and on from 2008 to 2009. After they broke up John "secretly" dated Taylor Swift before completely disappearing from the media. Well, now John is back with a single titled "Shadow Days" and it's supposedly about his relationship with Jennifer! In the song, John sings about the breakup and how everything will one day be all right. Is this John's comeback? We've missed him, but the Jen-thing is a bit old!

    This Lanvin dress is so cool! It's a trendy combination of ivory, black and pink with a crystal snake that wraps around the neck- so cool yet so crazy. Both Jennifer Lopez and Emma Stone were recently spotted wearing the dress. JLo matched it with black pumps and a messy ponytail while actress Emma Stone also paired it with black heels but had her hair down. So who wore the dress best? Vote!

    Miranda Kerr is a person that looks good no matter what. We've seen her as a blonde, red-head, and a brunette. We think she looks good in any hair color, but what color do you think suits Miranda best?

    We spotted Vanessa Hudgens and Austin Butler out and about in Santa Monica. Are they the cutest and coolest couple in Hollywood? We think so! We're also a bit surprised they are still together. After her high profile relationship with Zac Efron, we like how low-key V and Austin are!

    It’s that time of year again where New York’s fashion schools peacock their graduating class before industry heavyweights, and last night, Parsons—the former educational stomping ground for Marc Jacobs and Proenza Schouler—celebrated its seniors with a benefit dinner.  Hosted by Donna Karan, the event was part runway show, part opportunity for students to rub elbows with their soon-to-be fellow alum. “It’s really breathtaking to know that they’ve come out of their way to see what we’ve been doing for the past four years,” Giana Sacco, one of the award-winning students, said of the night’s high-profile attendees.  But it sounds like the more seasoned designers have been paying attention all along.  ”For me, Parsons is a connection of dots—to see how everyone has evolved and how this place has allowed them to express themselves over the past few years,” Karan told ELLE.  And nearby, Narciso Rodriguez was in agreement, “I’m a Parsons alum and you have to give back, you have to support the arts and all the talented young people here.” The school is particularly good at spearheading industry-wide evolution, not only by training and encouraging its students, but also by pushing the envelope technology-wise.  Pointing to a monitor, Simon Collins, the school’s dean of fashion, proudly explained, “If you look at that video display, that is our lookbook—it’s sort of something out of Harry Potter.  Everyone creates a lookbook but not like that, not an active lookbook.  We feel like we actually enable people to pioneer new aspects of the industry.”  And he was right, on the screen was a detailed video of student’s work that would be distributed to the school’s legion of editorial allies—and it was surely a welcome departure from the paperweight collection guides currently in circulation. Between courses the lights dimmed and the techno pined on and a procession of student theses paraded throughout the room, each one expressing a new idea, shape, or form. In that moment it was easy to tell why parsons has become a mill for talent—they really do demand the best.

    There was a parade of surprisingly great fashion at this weekend’s White House Correspondent’s Dinner.  Even if she wasn’t the First Lady, Michelle Obama would win our vote for best dressed thanks to a perfectly fitting floral Reem Acra gown.  Elizabeth Banks’ red Antonio Berardi is a close second, and both Michelle and Banks accessorized with gold hoops—a recycled trend we can get behind.  Zooey Deschanel successfully ventured outside her realm of quirky mod dresses (sort of) with a silver Oscar de la Renta dress and Claire Danes looked phenomenal in white silk Vivienne Westwood.  The night’s two most unexpected guests—Kim Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan—didn’t quite strike sartorial gold, but they managed to be understated and appropriate.  The former wore a blue green velvet gown while the latter a black dress in the same shape as Marilyn Monroe’s Seven Year Itch frock.  The highlight of the evening, however, was the President’s speech.  Click through to watch him poke jabs at Mitt Romney and open for Jimmy Kimmel.
