Paris Fashion Week may represent the finest handiwork in couture design, but Jean Paul Gaultier’s latest offering didn’t leave one bereaved father in stitches.
“The family was upset to see those pictures,” Mitch Winehouse told The Sun of Gaultier’s show, which commemorated the late singer. “We’re still grieving for her loss, and we’ve had a difficult week with the six-month anniversary of Amy’s death.
“It portrays a view of Amy when she was not at her best, and glamorizes some of the more upsetting times in her life,” he continues. (The collection heavily references Winehouse’s disheveled aesthetic, reckless attitude and penchant for smoking.)

Hats off to Kate: the Duchess of Cambridge was just named “Hat Person of the Year” by The Headwear Association. Beating Rachel Zoe, Ne-Yo, Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars and Charlie Sheen — and taking a whopping 91 percent of the vote — the Duchess was the obvious favorite of online fans.
The Headwear Association — an organization founded in 1908 that “promotes hat wearing and the headwear industry throughout the world” — highlighted some of Kate’s best hats, including the velvet cabernet hat she wore on Christmas (left) and the memorable maple leaf headpiece by Sylvia Fletcher at Lock and Co. that she selected for Canada Day in July (center).

When a girl’s in Paris, she’s gotta have a trés chic haircut. Thankfully, Reese Witherspoon was up to the task Thursday, debuting wispy new bangs (and wearing a Theodora & Callum scarf) while arriving in the City of Light.
This isn’t the first time the actress — who turned up at the Golden Globes this month with sexy, voluminous hair — has cut bangs: shortly after splitting from husband Ryan Phillippe, she arrived at the 2007 Golden Globes with a hot new haircut (and that memorable Nina Ricci dress). “I felt like I looked different than I’ve ever looked,” she told ELLE of that red carpet moment. “I don’t know why. I just did.”
Though bangs are usually a small change, for Witherspoon, they’re kind of big news: the most major hair modification she’s made in recent months was a subtle post-wedding trim. Tell us: Do you like Witherspoon’s new bangs?

It’s not Friday yet, but we’re giving you a pre-weekend treat anyway: a look at Mario Lopez in his skivvies! The Extra host stripped down on the Ellen DeGeneres Show Wednesday during a conversation about his underwear line, RatedM.
“Are you wearing the underwear now, and can we see it?” DeGeneres — who turns 54 today — asked semi-seriously. But with a little encouragement from the audience, Lopez was game, jokingly admitting that “Ellen is the only person that I can take off my clothes for.” You’ll have to watch to see what happens next.

Looks like Rihanna is inking more than her knuckles these days!
PEOPLE has confirmed that the singer has signed on to executive produce a new fashion series for the U.K.’s Sky Living channel, airing this summer.
“Synonymous with cutting-edge style, [Rihanna] is searching Britain for the next generation of raw, undiscovered designer talent,” the network says on its official website. “The show will recognize the increasing influence pop stars have on mainstream trends.”
Alongside Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts (whom RiRi reportedly hand selected for the role), the show will challenge contestants to create looks for a series of famous faces. In fact, final task involves designing a one-of-a-kind outfit for Rihanna to wear during a summer 2012 performance in London’s Hyde Park.
“I have been very fortunate to work with some truly amazing designers and stylists throughout my career,” Rihanna says in the release. “I am excited to follow the journey of our aspiring contestants and see how their individuality influences their efforts during the course of the show.”

When Chrissy Teigen‘s longtime beau John Legend popped the question over the holidays, the Sports Illustrated model wasn’t only surprised by the proposal, but by the ring, as well.
“It’s none of my doing at all,” she tells InStyle.com of the stunning sparkler. “All I know is that it’s a cushion cut, and I had never even heard of that before.”
The couple announced their engagement on Dec. 27 — Legend proposed while they were vacationing in the Maldives — and already, Teigen has been perusing magazines for dress ideas, even though she hasn’t yet set a date.
“I’m obsessed with dresses and it’s so hard to stop,” she shares. So any standouts yet? “I really love something about Monique Lhuillier. I think she’s so romantic and light and beautiful. I want to look like myself coming down the aisle, and I feel like Monique embodies what I want.”
