It’s been a week of the seeing juvenile made mature, time travelling rappers, long lost footage of the original bombshell and the acceptance of a new one. Oh and there’s that thing called Gatsby. Here’s everything you need to pass your Friday afternoon and need to know for the weekend ahead.

The cover of the May 2013 issue of L’Officiel gave us a bobbed Barbara Palvin, but Cuneyt Akeroglu’s pictorial of the model from the same issue takes a different approach: ’80s Americana.

You see so many paparazzi pictures of Kate Moss at the beach that it’s unlikely you’ve ever associated the supermodel with a fake tan. But such sun adoration hasn’t stopped her from being announced as the new face body of self-tanning brand St. Tropez.

The fact that the MET Gala was punk themed didn’t stop Katy Perry from avoiding the look altogether. Her wearing of Dolce & Gabbana pieces was exactly as the catwalk intended. Not so for Giovanna Battaglia, who opted for a golden crown of safety pins.

It wasn’t hard to adore every inch of Dolce & Gabbana’s autumn 2013 collection when it took to its Milanese catwalk. And it was just as easy to adore it at the MET Gala as the gilt mosaic collection crowned Katy Perry.

Cara Delevingne’s look from the MET Gala‘s Punk: Chaos to Couture opening could be described as something of a Morticia Addams one were it not for the padlocked, mesh clutch bag she had in hand. All plunge and studs, the model took to the Gala’s red carpet decked out in Burberry.

Safety pins, piercings and studs. This year’s MET Gala was a punk laden affair, all in the name of the The Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s spring 2013 exibition, Punk: Chaos to Couture. And from that formula of iconic punk elements, Sienna Miller opted for studs and a pierced-up ear wrap. Appearing on the Gala’s red carpet with partner Tom Sturridge, Burberry…

“Oh, it’s meant to be over the top,” we reassure our friends when they look upon a catwalk with bewilderment. So much of the fashion that hits catwalks is described as ‘wearable art’, made only to fill the wardrobes of the likes of Anna Dello Russo. But what happens when a piece really is wearable art? What happens when the echo of Helmut Newton’s voyeuristic…

With The Iceman, the cinematic adaptation of the life of contract killer Richard Kuklinski, hitting the silver screen, the steady comeback of co-star Winona Ryder continues. And with that, naturally, comes some magazine exposure for the actress.

As far as photo shoots go, vintage swimwear can do no wrong. On the beaches I’ve frequented so far this summer, however, it’s a look that’s in short supply. XOXO might hopefully redress that balance with model Linnea Hellbom’s and photographer Marco Trunz’s collaboration for the title.
