Would You Wear a Sheer Skirt Like Kristen Stewart?

Fame

Forget Bella’s adolescent wardrobe — Kristen Stewart is going for full-out fashionista while promoting New Moon in Europe. We’ve already seen her in neon Proenza Schouler in London and leather Elizabeth & James, but we had to take a double look at her Balenciaga outfit in Madrid. While her top may give the illusion of bare skin, her skirt actually does have a see-through panel, revealing a little bit more of Kristen than we’ve seen before! And while peekaboo clothing has been turning up on everyone from Leighton Meester to Lady Gaga, this look still got us thinking. Would you dare to bare your underwear like Kristen? Vote now!

Kate Moss on Her Famous Face: “I’m Not Traditionally a Beauty”

Bill Davila/Startraks

Kate Moss might have built a multi-million dollar career on her looks, but, she says, her appeal is more than skin deep. “It sounds really corny, but I think that if you’re beautiful inside, it shows on the outside for sure,” she tells WWD in an interview timed with the European launch of her fourth fragrance, Vintage. “You can be a pretty face, but if you’re not a nice person it just doesn’t work. I’m not traditionally a beauty, but apparently people think I’m all right.” And of course, there is always the personality factor. Kate elaborates, “If you’re a nice person, it definitely helps.” This doesn’t, however, mean that the original waif would let herself go. Her motto for keeping her figure in check? “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels,” she says before adding, “You try and remember, but it never works.” Read the full interview at WWD.com.

Lady Gaga on Her Style: “I’ve Always Been an Outspoken and Extreme Dresser”

Annie Leibovitz/Vogue

Vogue‘s December issue is getting bewitched– literally– by fierce style star Lady Gaga. Starring in a Hansel and Gretel-inspired spread, shot by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz, Lady Gaga channels her naughtier side to play a witch, dressed by her pal Marc Jacobs. The pop sensation tells the magazine, “I’ve always been an outspoken and extreme dresser.” And while her ruffled bloomer shorts and insanely high heels for the Vogue spread were nothing out of the ordinary for Gaga, Vogue staffers were intrigued by what the star wore to visit their office before the shoot! Lady Gaga reportedly showed up to 4 Times Square first wearing a trailing white chiffon Galliano goddess gown with a Philip Treacy headdress that spelled VOGUE in clipped white feathers, only to turn up the next day in a little black dress and flaming-red wig. And if that wasn’t outrageous enough, the singer arrived for the actual shoot “stark naked except for her white rubber raincoat and some very, very high heels!” recounts Vogue Creative Director Grace Coddington. So where does she get her crazy fashion from? Her art director, Matthew Williams–”my Jean-Paul Goude”–was “the inspiration that made the connection for me between the art world and the fashion world,” Lady Gaga tells Vogue. “He used to say things like ‘If you want to make a shoulder pad, don’t research jackets—research sculpture, mineral rocks, paintings.’ He thinks in a different way; he is the designer of the future.” Check out the rest of Lady Gaga’s spread and hear more from the pop star at in Vogue‘s December Issue, on newsstands November 24, or at Vogue.com.

Mariska Hargitay’s Charitable “Philosophy”

Megan Sorel

While she may play tough as nails detective Olivia Benson on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, this Hollywood actress is showing off her big heart, by using her spare time to give back to women in need. Hargitay and her Joyful Heart Foundation joined forces with philosophy to build “healing kits” for women in shelters throughout the LA area to draw attention to the massive budget cuts to the state’s domestic violence services. Along with her handsome hubby Peter Hermann, celeb pals Debra Messing, Sharon Lawrence and Shohreh Aghdashloo and other volunteers, the group filled the kits with philosophy’s charity shower gel, a cozy shirt from Michael Stars and other goodies. “These kits say to a survivor: you’re not alone,” Hargitay told PEOPLE. “ I want to inspire these women with a sense of joy and possibility.” Hargitay partnered with philosophy to create a shower gel and body lotion which 100% of proceeds go to her Joyful Heart Foundation. “These products are so beautiful,” gushed a proud Hargitay. “The make women feel so good, it’s about watering your soul and heart and feeling good.” Support the cause by purchasing your own Joyful Heart shower gel, $20, from philosophy.com.– Jen Garcia
