With avid interests in fashion and  access to the world’s top designers, these first ladies make politics seem far more ~alluring~ . read more…

HEADLINES: Emma Roberts is Hobo Chic, Kate Winslet Prefers RocknRoll, and Michelle Obama Celebrates the Holidays in Style.

Leighton and Constance Meester’s legal dispute is the Macaulay Culkin case of 2011. Parents trying to capitalize on their child’s fame and fortune; tisk, tisk. Thankful our Gossip Girl prevailed and Momma Meester will be getting bupkis! (THR)

It seems Louis Dowler isn’t happy about getting dumped by Kate Winslet. Well I mean, who would be? But bro is telling the press Kate may have been two-timing him with Richard Branson’s nephew; Ned RocknRoll. I would be bitter too if someone named ‘RocknRoll’ stole my woman. (Celebitchy)

Vogue’s new archive website will contain every issue dating back to the magazine’s debut in 1892. Dope, right? WRONG. A yearly subscription to this archive will run you $1,575. US dollars, no less. AS. IF. ANNA. (The Cut)

In other Vogue news; Franca Sozzani addresses the Karlie Kloss photo controversy and admits, “I made a mistake.” However, the mistake she is referring to is the removal of the controversial photo, not it’s publication in the first place. Why is Franca always so DRAMA? (Telegraph)

Emma Roberts describes her style as ‘hobo chic”. Explaining further that, “I like to be a little more disheveled — I like throwing on a motorcycle jacket with a gown because I’m young.” I’m sorry, but when was the last time you saw a hobo wearing a moto jacket and gown? (People)

Prabal Gurung looks as cute as can be surrounded by his terrycloth robed models. Admittedly this picture might look ridiculous had it been of say, Karl Lagerfeld, but somehow Prabal makes it adorable! (Twitter)

Michelle Obama continues to amaze fashionistas everywhere with her flawless style. The first lady has been celebrating the holidays in Rodarte and Cushine et Ochs; looking equally beautiful in both. (Fashionista)

Hermes Scarves are now Customizable, Michelle Obama Does “The Dougie” and Beyonce Can’t Walk. These and Other Style Headlines:

Sweethearts have been proposing in unique ways, which also allow the proposer to stay silent (go figure), for as along as I can remember. In sky-writing, on a jumbo-tron, in a fortune cookie … you name it. However, fashionista’s can now rejoice because the new trend is proposing on a personalized Hermes scarf. Ladies start hinting now because ball game < silk scarf. (Vogue)

J.Crew’s new catalogue features a photo of a gay couple under the caption “happy together”. The photo is of one their stylish employees and his equally stylish boyfriend. Well it’s about freaking time! Yay for Gay! (The Cut)

Word is Justin Bobby and the less-famous Montag are now dating. Well isn’t that a match made in “your 15 minutes are over’ heaven. He is making his way around the Hill’s girls quite nicely. (US Weekly)

Beyonce and Michelle Obama have been making their rounds to middle schools all over the U.S. as part of the “Let’s Move” campaign against childhood obesity. The First Lady led by example the other day at Alice Deal Middle School by doing ‘The Dougie’ and the ‘Running Man’. I’m sorry when did Mom’s stop embarrassing us by dancing ‘The Hustle” in front of all of our friends? Gosh … Michelle is so cool. (Huffpost Style)

Speaking of Beyonce, everyone is gossiping about how she and her hubby Jay-Z were booed on the red carpet at the Met Gala on Monday night. Reportedly they skipped a lot of the media on the carpet because Bey could hardly walk, and needed to be escorted up the stairs and inside. Slave to fashion? Or that tight ain’t right? (E! Online)

Rosie Huntington-Whitely has topped Maxim’s ‘Hot 100’. And I totally agree with that decision, did you see her at the Met Gala? Hubba hubba. Also, on the list Olivia Munn, Katy Perry, Cameron Diaz, Mila Kunis and newly-wed Duchess Kate Middleton. (PopEater)

Is it just me or are pregnancy photos the most awkward thing ever? No one wants to see those photos but the parent’s to be, trust me. Well Atlanta Housewife Kim Zoliack’s photos are no different. This is probably the most awkward preggers photo I’ve ever seen. Is he sniffing the fetus? (PopEater)

Karl Lagerfeld Thinks Andy Warhol Was Repulsive, Michelle Obama Rocks MK&A and Jessica Simpson is US Weekly’s Style Icon of the Year. This and more in Today’s Fashion Headlines:

Jessica Simpson has been named US Weekly’s Style Icon on the Year. Yes, I am telling the truth. Between the reindeer leggings, her incessant refusal to let go of Ugg’s, and the fact that lately she looks like a member of the cast of “Toddles and Tiaras” it is evident that Jessica is the obvious choice. Obviously. (Racked)

Karl Lagerfeld continues to be candid and ‘outlandish’ in interviews. Here is an archive of his most ridiculous quotes. This time he shares his love for Chanel and vanity and his disdain for smoking, Andy Warhol and ugly short men. It is unclear whether Andy Warhol was ugly because he is short or if he was ‘repulsive’ for an entirely different reason. (bellasugar)

Apparently I am not the only one who is, “so over the Royal Wedding already.” Turns out New Yorkers couldn’t give a flying fascinator about it either! (The Cut)

The fashion blogosphere cannot stop buzzing about Reed Krakoff’s $4,500 gym bag. It’s gorgeous, I get it, but if I was cool enough to own this bag, the last place I would be taking is a dirty, sweaty gym; python ain’t cheap girl. (Interview)

Franca Sozzani is on a crusade against pro-ano blogs, yet refers to ‘Black’ and ‘Curvy’ Vogue Readers a ‘ghetto’. She has even gone so far as to offer special web pages for her ‘Black’ and ‘Curvy’ readers. Blog segregation? Really!?! (The Cut)

Michelle Obama wore a skirt from The Row on “The View” last week. The stylish cream coloured silk skirt was crafted by non other than Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. When asked if they were psyched that the First Lady was wearing their skirt the girls both gave a thumbs-ups and said, “You Got It Dude!” in unison. (HuffPost Style)
