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.

Some brands stick to being about fashion, and some present themselves as lifestyle brands. Lacoste are the latter, emblazoning everything from luxury clothes to everyday polo shirts to shoes and homewares with their recognisable crocodile logo. It makes sense, then, for them to associate themselves with the sun, fun and celebrity of an event like Coachella, hosting their annual “Lacoste L!VE Desert Pool Party” alongside…

Leave it to Katy Perry to simultaneously conform with and defy the expectations of festival fashion. She had the bared legs and exposed midriff boxes ticked courtesy a Dolce & Gabbana print combo, but rather than erring to the side of boho, her Coachella look was something akin to vintage tropicana pin-up. More photos out the outfit after the break.

Katy Perry can be a bit of a chameleon, not least her rainbow of hair colours. But for Ellen Von Unwerth’s campaign shots for ghd, everything is kept perfectly classic in black and white. You might recall a few initial shots from the campaign. Now, to launch the ghd Metallic Collection (which sees the ghd Gold Classic Styler on shelves for Christmas in all-metallic finishes…

Those were photographed by David LaChapelle (see here and here for examples of the fairytale-inducing imagery). This time a new direction takes shape under the guiding hand and lens of in-demand photographer Ellen von Unwerth.

Wheels and Dollbaby is a cult contemporary womenswear label that has its own personality with a bag full of adjectives: it’s cheeky, kinky, minx-like, sophisticated, classy and luxurious. The brand opened doors to its small flagship store in Sydney, 25 years ago, and today celebrities like Katy Perry, Courtney Love, Dita Von Teese and Jessie J have taken the label to the limelight, also known…

Revisiting Australia in the 1920s, Rodarte's fall 2012 collection paired outback-inspired earthy makeup with a voluminous side-parted bob. Of course, you don't need scissors to get the look: this vintage inspired look just needs curling tongs, and lots of bobby pins. Rodarte capped things off with bursts of gold stars. Follow the full how-to after the break.

The season’s pastel colours and retro-inspired bodysuits have been giving many creative teams visions of glamorised 1950s daily life. But Amber Gray looked at them and saw a sugar-induced dreamland of cakes and candy. The characters populating Amber Gray’s candy kingdom are so colourful they could make Katy Perry look dull in comparison. Let’s face it, when your hair, makeup, nails and even skin are…
