I’m sure everyone has wished they were Beyonce at some point in their life, but correct me if I’m wrong! Anyway, the Queen B has decided to partner with the online website,“Rent the Runway.” The site gives people the opportunity to wear actual designer dresses/gowns for a fraction of the price, by simply renting. The 31 year old fashionista has selected her favorite pieces for her “Beyonce Boutique range,” which will include, sequined dresses, jumpsuits, mini skirts, patterned outfits, and more. “Making women feel confident and beautiful is something I’ve always been passionate about. That’s why joining forces with Rent the Runway was so organic.It’s more than just access to beautiful clothes; it’s about making women look and feel their best.”

This is the perfect site for us fashionistas who love Beyonce’s style, especially because she has personally selected the outfits for the site.

Now does that mean I can call Beyonce my stylist?

Just next door will be a small Giorgio Armani boutique for those interested in shopping, after enjoying a nice lunch at the fancy little Café. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready to hop on a plane to Cannes, Croisette just to eat at this Café.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley may be a lingerie model for Victoria’s Secret, but this hottie has decided to launch her own line of sexy lingerie. Rosie partnered with M&S (Marks & Spencer) last Summer to begin this partnership  for her vintage inspired autograph line.

“I was particularly drawn to the opulent elegance of the Twenties era which really shows in my designs from the sumptuous silks I chose to the intricate deco-inspired embroidery detailing on the garments. The palette was not only inspired by my favorite Twenties pieces, but also it was largely influenced by the rich colours of different types of roses. From the muted tones of dusky pink and green through to dramatic scarlet blooms, I wanted the palette to evoke the beauty of a gorgeous British garden in summer.”

For a little sneak peak of Rosie’s 2013 collection, take a look below of the photos she posted on her Instagram a few days ago. Do you love?!

Rosie explained that her line was thought of with women of all shapes and sizes in mind. This line is for anyone who just wants to look and feel sexy everyday. The line is made up of soft pastel colors for that girly feel. The soft bra cup is comfy and stylish, so it’s PERFECT for a relaxing Summer day when lounging around the house. I’m thinking of getting myself a pair of lingerie from her line just because I’ve always been a Rosie fan.

Our favorite bad girl Riri has recently filed a $5 million lawsuit against Topshop for selling a shirt with a photograph of herself without her consent. The shirt in question is called the ‘Icon Tank’ with the description, “photographic tank with photographic motif of a girl wearing a headscarf”.

According to Fashionista, “It might seem like Rihanna has a pretty strong case. But because the suit is being filed in the UK, it will be really tricky for the singer to win. As Topshop purchased the image from the photographer who took it, the retailer is technically exempt, by law, from paying the artist licensing fees–in the UK at least. (Topshop is not selling the tanktop in the US where laws would protect Rihanna.)”.

London based designer, Diane Von Furstenberg, best known for her iconic “wrap dress,” has launched her new swimwear line for Roxy. Since the re-launch of her fashion company in 2007, she has reinvented herself, and her designs. The print trend has been around for a while, but it seems to have skyrocketed to popularity this year. In which case, Diane knew it was the perfect idea to design her own prints for the swimsuit line. Everyone loves their prints, and the perfect time to bring them out is during bathing suit season.

Here is a little preview of the new swimwear line for 2013:

And of course, you can always mix and match these bikinis to show off your own personal style!

Our radar is alert! Super chic, ultra modern lucite heels have undeniably captured our hearts as each see-through heel is our own take of the modern glass slipper. We’re currently seeing lucite heels from crowd favorites: Jeffery Campbell, Miu Miu, Diane Von Furstenburg, and Lanvin. And while for a few decades we’ve categorized clear heels under “stripper shoes”, the current lucite anything trend has been dubbed a must have for your closet!

Style Media is an entertainment company, and also a division of NBCUniversal, which includes television shows such as, “XOX Betsey Johnson,” Giuliana & Bill,” Jerseylicious,” “Tia & Tamara,” “Resale Royalty,” and “Big Rich Texas.” Their newest competition series will be titled “Styled To Rock,” where the talented  Rihanna will work as the executive producer, and multi-grammy award winner, Pharrell Williams will work as the mentor to the contestants. Rihanna and Pharrell are two very fashionable individuals and they know exactly what to bring to the show.

President of Style Media, Salaam Coleman Smith was thrilled to welcome Pharrell as part of the team. “We are delighted to have Pharrell, who is a driving force in both the music industry and fashion world, serve as a mentor on ‘Styled to Rock. Pharrell’s unique aesthetic and commitment to individuality combined with Rihanna’s vision for this series will enable our aspiring designers to hone their craft and learn from the very people who set the trends.”

Detailed information about the series, provided by Style Media, is as follows:

“Styled to Rock” will give 12 up-and-coming designers the coveted opportunity to dress some of the biggest names in entertainment. Each week, challenges will push the designers to their creative limits when they are tasked with styling an A-list star. The celebrity guest-of-the-week will decide which designer best achieves their vision – and advances to the next level of competition. Faced with the threat of elimination, the remaining designers must meet with the three mentors to discuss where they fell short and ultimately, who will be sent home. In the end, one designer will be named the winner of “Styled to Rock.”

Check out some the beautiful designs below.

For Jimmy Choo’s 2013-2014 Fall/Winter campaign will star the lovely Nicole Kidman. “I’ve always loved fashion and often use it as a way to get into character. There is a lot of complexity, mystery, and femininity to the Jimmy Choo Woman.”  Now that Kidman is the newest face, she will get the chance to show her version of the ideal Jimmy Choo woman. Kidman is such a mature and poised individual, and this campaign is absolutely perfect for her.

Jimmy Choo’s creative director, Sandra Choi shared, “Nicole is one of the finest actresses in the world, who I knew could convey the empowered glamour of the brand. But she is also nuanced and refined; she brings an attitude of defiance, strength, sensuality, and elegance.” I  cannot wait to see the photographs that Kidman will grace us with. The world will get its first preview of the campaign this August, and will be shot by photographer, Mikael Jansson.
