lotd: BEYONCE HAS A SPRING MOMENT


Beyoncé wore a pastel Malandrino resort 2010 dress today at Billboard's 4th Annual Women In Music event. With her makeup and bright frock, she looks ready for a gorgeous, sunny day. (It was fairly warm and overcast in New York yesterday, in case you were wondering.)

Do you like to wear bright colors in fall? Or do you opt for darker hues?

divas: RIHANNA TO EXPLORE 'HUMAN' STYLE


Rihanna's been all over Paris Fashion Week in see-through clothes. Today she mixed it up a tiny bit and went to Vivienne Westwood without pants. She's hitting the shows with her stylist Mariel Haenn, pictured here at left, for inspiration — next week, thenipple-pastie fan shoots the artwork for her forthcoming album in Berlin. "It's definitely going to be Rihanna in the raw state we've seen her in lately," Mariel explains. "Though she's an icon right now, this crazy super glam, we're going to see her being real — human." Amazing! We're rooting for pants, opaque fabrics, nipples under bras, bras under clothes, clothes over bras, cones over bras (those will never get old). Maybe this crazy avant-garde diva style is finally on the way out? Roisin Murphy told us at February Fashion Week she was already over it, after all.

wise move: DIDDY KNOWS BETTER THAN TO CROSS ANNA WINTOUR


Apparently Sean "Diddy" Combs turned down the role of fashion designer James Holt in The Devil Wears Prada. Especially after being named CFDA Menswear Designer of the Year in 2004, he knew better than to take a part in a movie parodying Anna Wintour. "It wasn’t like they were portraying her in a bad way," he explains. "It was just that I knew what was in the script and what she’s like in real life were different. She’s bricked one or two of my collections, but she’s also called 15 minutes later with some helpful advice about who I should get to fix it.” [BlackBook]
