The much anticipated Victoria’s Secret fashion show was taped this week and lets just say, I wasn’t let down!

A fantastic lineup of super models including Adriana Lima, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Candice Swanepoel, Chanel Iman and Erin Heatherton were scantily clad, but overly dressed in some of the most inventive costumes to parade down the runway for our entertainment this year. Katy Perry (and Akon) had a singing act dressed, of course, in the brightest Victoria’s Secret outfit. Katy’s get-up didn’t look too different from what she normally wears but it was still fun to see her perform on a glitter staircase. 

Not only is the amount of craftsmanship behind these costumes astounding but I have to say they must heavy as well. Despite balancing on the highest platform stilettos out there, these models didn’t even bend under the weight! 

Take a peek here and have a great weekend!

 The show will air on CBS November 30th at 10:00 EST

Is this blue hairdo and cartoon like styling a reference to Katy Perry becoming a POP SUPERHERO???

What do you guys think about Katy’s outfit for the MTV MOVIE AWARDS????

I personally like the bright nails and the beautiful Zuhair Murad dress but not quite sure how they are working out together!!

Dita Von Teese, queen of burlesque and hot retro style, took in the sights and sounds of this year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

Dita spent the three-day event looking flawless in a variety of outfits that adapted retro glamour for life under a sunny desert sky.

(Left): I am in love with Dita’s nautical-style, high-waisted trousers. Her updo is also rockin’, managing a put-together look that is also casual.

(Above): From the mary jane wedges to the layers of bangles, this is Dita’s awesome version of boho beauty. I love all the earthy tones on that tropical print dress!

(Above): Ladylike charm is what it’s all about in this look. Soft satin ruffles, that polished hat and a pretty chain purse keep Dita looking elegant. Psssst, recognize that lovely lady with her? Yep, it’s Katy Perry looking day-glo pretty.

What was your favorite Dita look?

I’ve always loved the iconic hair of retro pin-up model Bettie Page. Known for her short pixie bangs and curvy brown locks, Bettie’s hair became her unique and edgy style accessory. 

In short, Bettie Page bangs are cut to hit at about mid-forehead and curve up towards the temples of your head.

I’ve noticed this style of bang becoming increasingly popular among hip, fashion forward women. To me, the look carries cool, rockabilly vibes and can really make a girl stand out. At the same time, I would never make the cut myself.

Just a smidge above eyebrow length is about as short as I will go. I just know that a super short bang wouldn’t flatter my face shape. While I admire the cut on a lot of women, it’s still a daring look to pull off.

That being said, I’ve noticed that certain styles manage to capture the essence of the original Bettie Page cut while toning down the extremes to make it more flattering on different face shapes.

Above, I love how Katy Perry’s bangs sit just above the eyebrow and curve just slightly up the sides, not sharply. Designer Maya Luz from this season’s Project Runway sports the same style, keeping the bangs semi-short and mostly strait towards the sides of the head. I’ve been drooling over her hair all season (and rooting her on to win!) For both Katy and Maya, dark straightened locks and bold lipstick give the look a little extra retro boost.

What do you think? Would you make the cut?
