If you, like me, found your fashion sense was titillated by the promising looking drawings of Rihanna’s “Diamonds” world tour costumes that Givenchy released last week, get stoked: the storied fashion brand (and skirt-maker to Kanye West) has since released some actual photos of RiRi wearing the stuff, and it’s every bit as resplendent as I’d hoped. Posted yesterday on the Givenchy Facebook page, the outfits are shown in a few different states of layering, and they do a good job of conveying a sort of regal, queen-of-pop attitude. They’re neither as colorful nor as butt-baring as what she wore on her last world tour, but maybe she’s going for a more ladylike vibe? (Ha, ha?) Or maybe we just haven’t seen the more butt-baring looks yet? Either way, I’m into it. More »

Which Norse God Should Beyonce Should Base Her Next Costume On?

Which Norse God Should Beyonce Should Base Her Next Costume On?
Skadi
Njord
Loki
Freyja

As you definitely know by now, Beyonce performed at the Superbowl last night dressed like a bootylicious, kneesock wearing version of Xena, Warrior Princess. But did you know her costume was actually modeled after a Norse goddess? Via Metro NY:

“Singer based the costumes on Valkyrie, the hyper-sexual goddess of warfare from Norse mythology known for randomly selecting men on the battlefield to die.”

Cool! But why stop there when there are so many exciting gods and goddesses in the Norse pantheon to choose from? Here are a few humble suggestions for her next stage show. (Who’s got two thumbs and just finally obtained a copy of Photoshop for the express purpose of ‘shopping Bey’s head onto various Norse gods? I want you to guess!) More »

So this post was supposed to be a street style round-up of all the cool costumes I saw out in the wild this Halloween season, but then a few things happened: 1.) I devoted most of my energy to my own extravagant party, 2.) I didn’t get to go out as much as I would’ve liked to because of the hurricane, and 3.) the pictures I paid a photographer to take came out way, way better than the ones I took with my phone. (Quelle surprise!) So I’m only going to show you pictures from my own party. I’m sorry in advance if that seems super self-centered of me, but I promise everyone looked really fucking crazy. More »
