Vanity Fair selected Lady Gaga as the face of the 5th annual style issue. Of course the article accompanying the cover is sensationalist, full of "sex, fame and drugs", however the editorial is stunning. Filled with McQueen, custom Armani Prive, Fred Leighton jewels, Noritaka Tatehana boots, and styled by Nicola Formichetti, the photos are full of life and at times exuberant.

Shades of grey and taupe have been making their way through beauty trends for a couple of seasons now. While others may have attempted grey hair (Kate Moss, Tavi), leave it to Gaga to transform it into something iconic. To compliment the grey, manicurist Deborah Lippmann chose Waking Up In Vegas, a lavender infused putty.

I can't tell you how much I love Emily Blunt - and there's only one reason.  Her role in The Devil Wears Prada was so on point, you couldn't help develope a love-hate relationship with her character. TBH, I mostly loved her eyeshadow and her determination to succeed in the fashion industry.  For these reasons and more, Emily was the perfect choice to channel a modern Marie Antoinette for Vanity Fair.  Besides, do I need a reason to post photos of multiple men pandering to a beautiful woman? I think not.
