Amber.Stardoll- Have you noticed that Kim Kardashian tends to look exactly the same on all her pictures posted on Twitter? Well, we have. Kim is always pouting with her lips or blowing a kiss to the camera- she's clearly stuck in a pose! Click on the pics and check it out- time for a new pose, Kim!

- 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!

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.

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.
