Paris has played host to almost two full days of couture shows; what’s happened so far?
Amber.Stardoll- We spotted Sin City star Devon Aoki and her hubby James Bailey take their newborn baby boy out for a stroll in Los Angeles yesterday. Devon gave birth little over a month ago, and she seems to be enjoying motherhood and summer vacation rather than going crazy with a post baby diet. Good for her we say! She looks just as gorgeous as a size 10 as she does size 0!

Tomboys, unite! It’s true—baseball hats may not have the rep as being the most fashionable accessory, but they’re a definitive do. Celebs are spotted out and about in them all the time. OK, sometimes they’re out for a jog and the cap is the best way to cover bedhead. But sometimes they’re wearing them as part of an actual ensemble. So here are few starlets who are dedicated to the masculine head-topper. The baseball hat a là Reese Witherspoon (above) is one of our favorite ways to wear it. It’s an obvious choice for those of us going on a run who have yet to shower for the day.

EBay, once a counterfeiter’s mecca, is cracking down hard on fashion fakes. The auction site has worked hard to ramp up their fashion presence over the past year: they’ve hired Andrea Linnet as Creative Director, Annabel Tollman as Brand Ambassador, invited Narciso Rodriguez and Derek Lam to design exclusive collections and devote front page space to other fashion folk nearly everyday. Now, they’re taking an active stand on an issue that’s especially close to the industry’s heart—fakes. On Monday, in collaboration with the CFDA, eBay will launch a campaign against counterfeit goods and stolen designs. Their tagline “You Can’t Fake Fashion” will adorn limited-edition totes retailing at $35 as well as bags customized by a slew of CFDA members including Diane Von Furstenberg, Tommy Hilfiger, Billy Reid, Tory Burch, Jason Wu, Marchesa, Rodarte and The Row, all of which will retail for $150. The practical and roomy canvas totes (hello weekend packing!) will be exclusive to eBay and all proceeds will benefit the CFDA.

Left, the cover of Watch the Throne. Right, a look from Givenchy's couture collection.
Riccardo Tisci unveiled yet another spectacular couture collection in Paris yesterday. Givenchy-philes practically swooned in unison as pictures surfaced. There are just ten dresses, all white with spots of gold. Each one’s more elaborately decorated than the next with dégradé pearls, hand-sewn crystals, feathers, fringe, beads and lace. Everything was long, though some still light thanks to sheer underlays and cutouts at the waist and shoulders. It was the last dress, however, that caught our eye. On this side of the Atlantic the Internet was buzzing over the cover of Jay-Z and Kanye’s joint album, Watch the Throne. Between Tisci’s colorful menswear show last week and yesterday’s stunning couture presentation, the designer whipped up the gold cover, above left, for his friends. The pattern around the edge is strikingly similar to the embroidery on the final couture look, above right, which may link couture and rap for the first time ever. As if you needed another reason to love Tisci.

If you haven’t had your royal wedding fill for 2011, you haven’t been paying attention. There was London’s royal wedding in May between Kate Middleton and Prince William (now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge), and then fashion’s royal wedding between Kate Moss and Jamie Hince (more on that later) this past weekend. The latter was followed by a truly royal wedding in Monaco between Prince Albert and former Olympian Charlene Wittstock on July 2nd. Though the French tabloids had a field day with rumors that Wittstock tried to flee Monaco at least three times prior to tying the knot, the South African went through with her nuptials wearing a stark white Armani Privé gown embroidered with 40,000 Swarovski crystals before changing into another white, tiered Armani dress for the reception. The guest list included Nicolas Sarkozy, Karl Lagerfeld, Karolina Kurkova, Rodger Moore and Naomi Campbell—who wore a white gown with a train to the reception! And of course plenty of royalty to round out the party including Princesses Stephanie and Caroline of Monaco. For an added dose of decadence, the wedding cake was made from more than 100 pounds of strawberries.

- Alicia Keys was honored with a wax figure at the famous museum Madame Tussauds in New York on Tuesday! The unveiling of the figure was held on the 10th anniversary of her first ever released album "Songs in A Minor" and it also marked the release of her new deluxe collector's edition. We have seen better wax dolls, but we really love the pose and outfit. Now give us 10 more musically flawless years Alicia!

- R&B star Beyoncé Knowles made her first screen debut in "Austin Powers in Goldmember" 11 years ago, but she has come a long way since then. She played one of the leads in the critically acclaimed movie "Dream Girls" in 2006 and 5 years later, she is ready to take on the lead role all by herself! She is slated to follow in the footsteps of likes such as Janet Gaynor, Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand when she plays the lead in the fourth "A Star Is Born" remake! Russell Crowe is currently in talks to co-star and the movie will be directed by none other than Clint Eastwood. Beyoncé confirmed the news yesterday during a performance on Good Morning America, saying, "Clint Eastwood? Can you believe that? I can’t believe it still. When I met with him I was just in awe. I’m so, so honored that he believes in me. And I can’t wait to do this film.I represent this generation’s talent and for me to be the chosen person, as an African American woman, is incredible.”
We wish her all the luck in the world and really cannot wait to see both her performance and Clint Eastwood tackling a genre so different from his usual niche!
