Amber.Stardoll- We spotted Rihanna arriving to Japan after a long flight from London! She has been traveling the whole globe recently and must be exhausted. Her airport style is cozy and chic- we love it!

- Acress Minka Kelly made heads turn when she stepped out in a little black leather blouse and a pair of figure-hugging, floral trousers for the opening of Marquee. We spotted her posing between Ashley Simpson wearing this outfit and we can't decide if we like it or not. Hm... We know leather dresses are right for the season, but how about blouses? What do you think about her leather top? Hot or not?

Assouline and Rizzoli may lay claim to most fashion tomes, but Abrams has just announced its plans to publish a new book of never before seen photos of Alexander McQueen’s fashion shows. Love Looks Not With the Eyes: Thirteen Years with Lee Alexander McQueen will debut over 400 images, shot by Anne Deniau, of McQueen working with his design team and frequent collaborators on both his collections and the production of twenty-six different fashion shows from 1997 to 2010. Deniau, who still shoots for the house of McQueen, has photographed editorials for magazines as diverse as The Face and Vanity Fair, as well as newspapers like the Times and the Independent, and this will mark her fourth book. It will be released this fall.

TIME’s just published their list of the 100 greatest fashion icons since 1923, when the magazine launched. The big number’s broken down into different categories: designers, models, photographers, muses, editors & stylists and the vaguely named style & design. The only real surprise in the first category is the inclusion of Sara Blakely (though the Olsens earned a double take). Blakely’s brand, Spanx, certainly revolutionized the world of underpinnings, but her products aren’t actually fashionable, certainly not with a capital ‘F’. She’s lumped in with Coco Chanel, Cristobal Balenciaga, Tom Ford and Marc Jacobs, or brands like Hermes and Louis Vuitton. As far as models go, it stops at Gisele, leaving out younger faces like Daria Werbowy, Lara Stone or Coco Rocha. Claudia Schiffer, Elle Macpherson and Christy Turlington were left off, too. Muses run the gamut from Brigitte Bardot to the Beatles, probably marking the first (and last?) time that Michael Jackson and Michelle Obama will earn such a title. Bruce Weber, Ellen Von Unwerth, Mario Testino, Steven Meisel lead the brigade of contemporary photographers while Patricia Field shakes up an expected list of iconic stylists and editors.

- Last night, Nickelodeon's 25th Annual Kids' Choice Awards was held at Galen Center in Los Angeles. We love this award show not only because we get to see our favorite celebs get slimed and to hear the hilarious celebrity pranks, but also because of the colorful fashion that dominates the red carpet! Like always, the red (or should we say orange) carpet was plentiful with pop stars posing for pictures in playful and colorful outfits! The red carpet was all about the famous faces including Katy Perry, Selena Gomez and Heidi Klum. Click on the pictures to check out some highlights from the arrivals last night!

- We spotted Gwen Stefani enjoying a fun-filled afternoon with her growing young boys this weekend! She took her sons Kingston and Zuma out for a day of fun. They stopped at Whole Foods first where mum picked up food for a picnic, then they headed to the park to play in the playground. It looks like they had a good time together! She's really placing a priority on family nowadays, we love that!

- Woah, we didn't see this coming but now that's happening we totally get it! Ashton Kutcher will play Apple creator, Steve Jobs, in the upcoming indie movie "Jobs." The film will be about Steve from his beginning as a hippie to when he became the most famous creative tech guy in the world! Don't expect to see "Jobs" anytime soon, production won't start till May. Regardless, we're still excited and can see an eerie similarity between Steven and Ashton- seriously just take a bit of weight off Ashton's face and they could be brothers! (variety)

- Ladies rejoice! We've heard rumors that Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes are over! Eva and Ryan met in the upcoming movie, "The Place Beyond The Pines" and many believe that their relationship has just been to promote the movie. And now they're tired of it! Producers have been afraid that they'll breakup before the big promotional tours start, and it seems like their worst fear has come true!
Ryan was spotted having lunch with a German model the other day. He recently told Eva that he needed time "to think." We'll be honest, we never really liked them as a couple and we'd be happy to see Ryan single again. Fingers crossed this rumor is true! (celebitchy)

In a rare appearance, Dries Van Noten spoke at the French Institute Alliance Française in New York last night as part of the organization’s Fashion Talks series. There, he admitted that although his pieces are admired for their beauty, he, like Miuccia Prada, starts designing by looking at the ugly: “I’m more inspired by things which I don’t like … nothing is so boring as something beautiful. I prefer ugly things, I prefer things which are surprising … You force yourself to ask yourself questions. Quite often I make a collection and I say, ‘Here’s a color I really don’t like.’ … My assistants will say ‘Okay, you don’t like lilac,’ [that means] this season will be lilac. It’s like you see a color, and you think, ‘Why don’t I like this color?’ Maybe the composition is wrong, maybe the lighting is wrong — it would be beautiful in silk, but not the synthetic fabric … That for me is the fun, to play with all the [fabrics].” As for fast fashion and knockoffs, he opined: “It’s the reality. I don’t want to live in the old world, like 35, 30 years ago when people had prêt-à-porter and that was it. I think fast fashion is good. I think modern people combine vintage with designer clothes, with a piece they buy at Zara or other stores—why not?”
