ANNA: Why the smile, young lady?
NICKI: It’s just… your HAIR.
ANNA: What about it?
NICKI: It’s all real.
ANNA: And?
NICKI: No, really, it’s growing out of your head. IN PUBLIC.
ANNA: Yes.
NICKI: And it’s flat! It’s just sitting there!
ANNA: It is. And I pay a lot of money for it to do this.
NICKI: HA HA. Good one, lady. Oh, that’s the best laugh I’ve had in three years.
Aside from ogling Nicki Minaj at the Carolina Herrera show — yes, Nicki was at the show of the woman who dresses perhaps Minaj’s polar opposite, Renee Zellweger (whom we also saw) — we also saw:
– Mandy Moore again, this time at Jenny Packham, wearing a sequined cardigan that Jess and I might end up fighting over, although I think in the end she’d win and then let me borrow it occasionally (the photo doesn’t do justice to how good — relaxed, yet shiny — the outfit looked);
– Johnny Weir, who held court looking spectacular in eye shadow that matched his shoes;
– Jordin Sparks and a passel of Gossip Girls at Alice + Olivia; and
And finally, because the links went up late yesterday, you may have missed our recap of Zac Posen — with Leigh Lezark in pants made it look like she was sitting on the toilet. We also bent Dwight Howard’s ear at Y-3 and Abbie Cornish’s at Tommy Hilfiger, although the real curiosity at that show was discovering that Melissa George and Russell Simmons are dating. Why does that seem so insane? And yet it is, right? Maybe it’s just nutso because of how she was acting: clasping his hand the whole time, rubbing up on him while he was posing for pictures like a normal person, never reacting to her, almost as if she were with a cardboard cutout. It was hilarious. And weird.

Meh. Her outfit looks borrowed from Sia’s “We Are Born” sessions.
Look up the word “flank.” (Kardashian caption.)
I want everything Mandy Moore has on. Face included
This photo is priceless. Thanks for posting it!
I vote this image as one of the best images every posted on GFY. It makes me very happy and warm inside
At the grand afternoon tea I’ll have to celebrate my coronation as Queen-in-Waiting of the Central West Coast of What Used To Be The United States of Something, I’ll make sure to seat these two together again. Just like this.
My sources assure me that in the actual exchange here, Anna is bargaining for one of the magic marshmallows off Nicki’s outfit. Which are edible. And delicious.
Either that lighting is completely unflattering, or Kim just wears THAT MUCH makeup… because Kourtney looks positively barren in that picture.
Anyone else seeing the side-boob action on the Ringer ad? Why do they do this to already beautiful, talented and popular actresses? This remands me of the opening credits of Bones where Emily Deschanel(sp?)’s boobs are pushed up to her chin. Why?
Is it wrong that I love Nicki’s shoes?
Why is Mandy Moore always unrecognizable…like she is in witness protection.
PS: I would punch Minaj in the neck if she sat down in front of me in that wig at an event.
no WAY is nicki m sitting front row and next to Anna W! WTF! who is backing Nicki M to afford that placement? and why does Nicki M not ever show any influence of actual fashion if she indeed is so connected? seriously. Nicki M is a nobody. Something is amiss here. should the FBI be involved?
(and why does the runway model look preggo? is looking preggo the new black this fall)
This is such a funny picture. The model, oblivious to everyone, Nicky having the time of her life and looking silly but somehow lovable for once, Anna without her shades and NOT shying away from the fashion train wreck beside her and the various people in the background including the woman with the severe bob and the rapper dude looking jealously at Anna’s jewels. At least I think that’s where he’s looking.
Missing comment:
Anna: Beside looking like the human equivalent of something “THE CLAW” picks up and drops through the vending machine at Chuck E. Cheese’s, you are very witty. I am glad you are laughing, my dear, because in about an hour, three Carolina Herrera show producers will be removing pieces of furniture I forcefully insert into their nearest orifices.
This picture is great. It brings back so many memories – for instance, tennis socks with bright colored little pom-poms on the heel. And San Francisco’s North Beach cabaret show, Beach Blanket Babylon (renowned for it’s over the top costumes, hats and wigs) – Nicki looks like the fairy godmother in BBB!
I don’t get these posts… why do you mention a visual treat and then link to an artical that describes it? Where are the pictures? I don’t want to have to google for a picture of an ice skating dude with eyshadow now… girls, girls… cluck cluck tsk tsk.
Re. the pic of Mandy Moore, I own a remarkably similar sequined cardi that I got from BCBG Studio on Rodeo years and years ago. The sequin pattern is gold, grey, and charcoal, yes? It is indeed the best piece ever. Mine is a little snug on me so doesn’t drape the same (they only had a size Small at the store — damn you, Beverly Hills twig people!) but I bought it anyway because I immediately feel in love with it. Fabulous with a white tee and black pants, even better with a tee and skinny jeans tucked into boots. For some reason, the tee shirt seems to be the pivotal part of the combo, which is probably why I love this cardi so. Any time I can pull off a fancy look while wearing a tee shirt is a good time, in my book.
Just checked – cardi is Max Azria Collection, not BCBG Studio. (These are the kinds of things I worry about when I have insomnia.)
