Runway Look of the Day: Alexander Wang

Chris Moore/Getty Images

Alexander Wang's Fall 2010 collection debuted with a pinstriped blazer and micromini paired with black chenille thigh-high leggings. The look was so sexy because even though the model was covered up, you caught a little slice of thigh when she walked. I always favor the mix of menswear fabrics with something a bit provocative.

Rihanna Rocks Custom Looks For New Video

Rihanna looked to bold ensembles with an ‘80s twist for her new video, “Rude Boy.” “Ri wanted a colorful dancehall vibe to go with the attitude and feel of the song,” explains stylist Mariel Haenn, who collaborated with fellow stylist Rob Zangardi to create a few pieces including a top made from vintage records (at left) and a black-and-white graphic body suit. “It was custom made,” says Haenn of the one-piece, which made quite the statement when paired alongside a live zebra. “We hand-drew the lines on a mannequin and hired a textile painter to copy the drawing in life-size scale.”

Fall Trend to Try Now: White Tights

Courtesy of Imaxtree

Black tights are being traded for a new, lighter leg for Fall 2010, thanks to the chic winter white tights spotted on the runways at Thakoon and BCBG. The trick to making white tights sophisticated is wearing them with dresses and cozy knits in neutral shades like taupe, caramel and gray. Add a slouchy suede boot for a perfect finishing touch.

Two runway spills in towering Burberry heels didn't stop Agyness Deyn from strutting her stuff at last night's Fashion for Relief Haiti show! After the first stumble, the supermodel smiled and laughed as the sold-out crowd cheered her quick recovery. When she slipped again, Deyn took the pair off and happily walked the rest of the runway barefoot. She later tweeted, "1st show of fashion week! Took a tumble! Got up! Fell again. Should have stayed down the 1st time. Twice! WTF! Ouch my knees!"

Gwen Stefani Dishes on Blizzards, L.A.M.B. and Tough-Girl Chic

Brian Zak/Sipa Press

"It's been a crazy week," exhaled Gwen Stefani hours before yesterday's L.A.M.B. presentation at Milk Studios. After a blizzard threw her design team for a loop, the superstar turned the frenzy into a fun show filled with her line's signature mix of tough-girl chic. "I had a guy driving 7 hours from Montreal last night to bring me 5 samples," she told us. "The combination of all that chaos got us to be really creative." Now that her first fall show is behind her, Stefani continues to focus on her full plate of projects, which include fragrances, jewelry and of course, more fashion. "I can't wait to move onto the next collection," she said. "That's what I love about fashion-it keeps moving!"

And there simply never will be." Victoria Beckham also expressed her grief: "He made all he touched beautiful and will be desperately missed." Some stars jumped on Twitter to share their memories.

Lady Gaga launched fashion week with a spectacular performance-and a daring new look-at last night's amFAR charity gala. The pop sensation first wowed the star-studded crowd, which included Heidi Klum, Zoe Saldana and Chloe Sevigny, with her ivory bikini, captain's hat, towering stiletto boots and her powdered, pearl-encrusted face and body. Then, she hopped atop a rotating white piano and sipped a cup of tea before launching into the blush-inducing lyrics of her song "Future Love." The singer and newest face of MAC's Viva Glam campaign later returned to the stage to accept an award on behalf of Elton John and David Furnish and was praised by fellow MAC spokesperson Cyndi Lauper for her philanthropic efforts.

Paul Cruz

Narciso Rodriguez's capsule collection for eBay launches on February 15, but we got a sneak peek at some of the pieces to hit the designer's special boutique. We love the python printed top (right, $70) and denim skirt ($150) and the red matte jersey dress ($250), but our favorite piece from the collection has to be the two-toned reversible trench (left, $350)-perfect for a spring day. Pair all of the above with chic black espadrilles ($450) from Rodriguez's regular collection, which eBay shoppers will get the first dibs to purchase.

Designers do most of their work behind the scenes, but now thanks to Twitter we're privy to the stress and last minute disasters they endure in order for the shows to go on. "We are tracking my shoes like crazy. I need my shoes for the show in 4 days!" tweeted Catherine Malandrino, whose runway heels are somewhere in Italy. Max Azria knows the feeling: "Anyone seen the carton of our runway shoes that were lost in shipment from Brazil?...Anyone?" Christian Siriano tweeted, "today was a crazy day of fittings, fittings and more fittings then filming with Veronica webb, im ready for it to be show time," while Chris Benz tried to see the brighter side of the blizzard in N.Y.C.
