Meet Our Celebrity Fashion Week Blogger: Kristin Cavallari!

Mom-to-be Kristin Cavallari is spending a few days in New York City to attend Fashion Week — and she’s taking us with her! The former reality starlet is blogging her way through the shows exclusively for PeopleStyleWatch.com, giving us inside info on her favorite fashions, the best parties and more. Here, in her first blog, she arrives in the Big Apple and gives us a preview of what’s to come:

So excited for Fashion Week! Just got to New York and I love being in the city. New York has such great energy during this time.

This year I decided to only go to three shows. In the past, I’ve done numerous shows and it gets exhausting. I’ll be seeing Rachel Roy, Betsey Johnson and Dennis Basso. I’ve gone to Betsey every time I’ve been to Fashion Week and she never disappoints. It’s by far the most fun you’ll have at a show. Rachel Roy will be a first for me and I cannot wait. I’ve been a fan of her line for a while now. Dennis Basso will also be a first and someone that is new on my radar.

Fashion Week is definitely many a girl’s dream … and what’s not to love? I’ll be playing dress-up for the next two days and wearing some amazing outfits. You can take more fashion risks in New York and especially during Fashion Week, so I can’t wait to show you some of the risks I’ll be taking that I wouldn’t normally. Tell us: What do you want to see Cavallari wearing?

Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus Debut New Dos

New week, new haircuts! Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus both changed up their hairstyles (again) last week, sharing photos of their new looks on Twitter.

Lovato — a natural brunette who was most recently a redhead — went blonde Saturday. “Thank you SO much Nine Zero One salon for my new locks,” she wrote, asking fans for feedback. They must’ve liked the look: later that day, she Tweeted, “Haha Demi Blondevato is a trending topic?!! Y’all are funny!”

Cyrus’s change was a bit more subtle: the singer, who took five inches off of her hair last month, went a bit shorter and added some face-framing layers. Her Tweet of “You likey?” was met with compliments like “fab” and “beautiful” from adoring followers.

We love both ladies’ new looks, but want to hear what you think. Tell us: Do you like Lovato and Cyrus’s new dos?

Gisele Bündchen Hits the Catwalk at New York Fashion Week

What Super Bowl outburst? After a particularly rough week — where she watched her husband’s Patriots lose the big game and then shared some not-so-nice words about his teammates — Gisele Bündchen got back to doing what she does best on Saturday, walking the runway for designer Alexander Wang at New York Fashion Week.

There were rumblings of her appearance before the show (as the team at Fashionista Tweeted, “Freaking GISELE backstage at alex wang”) and once she did hit the catwalk, wearing an asymmetrical military-inspired black leather coat and matching boots, she was met with cheers.

“It was special to walk in the Alexander Wang show on Saturday,” Bündchen told PEOPLE exclusively following the show. “He is an innovative designer and a sweet person. I look forward to working with him in the future.”

Bündchen wasn’t the only big name in the house, however: she was joined by Carmen Kass, Shalom Harlow and Karolina Kurkova, who all received big rounds of applause, as well.

Hot Stuff: Rihanna, Gwyneth Paltrow Cut Fine Figures at the Grammys

Chris Martin is a lucky man! The Coldplay rocker’s leading ladies — collaborator Rihanna and wife Gwyneth Paltrow — paused for a hot shot Sunday night while backstage at the Grammy Awards, showing off their slim figures and similar, slinky gowns. Rihanna worked the room in custom Giorgio Armani (she’s currently a face of the designer’s denim and underwear lines), while Paltrow wowed in a long black number with a solid gold belt.

Exclusive Look: Meet the New Material Girls!

They really are lucky ladies: Samantha Titus, Katrina (Tina) Arandjelovic and Kimberly Perry are the brand new faces of Madonna and Lourdes Leon‘s beauty and clothing line, Material Girl. The girls beat out thousands of wannabe catwalkers in the brand’s “Lucky Stars” model search, and were handpicked by the mother-daughter duo to front the line.

“We set out to find someone who embodied the Material Girl lifestyle: a free-spirited girl with an interest in fashion, who isn’t afraid to express herself and let her true personality shine through,” Madonna and Leon said in a statement. “It came down to three girls who we absolutely loved and felt were true Material Girls, so we decided to make all of them winners.”

The ladies’ first ads, seem here, were shot in a New York City studio (Kelly Osbourne and Leon were both on set) and will debut in magazines, online and in stores later this month. The girls — who each won $5,000 in addition to the job — range in age from 19 to 21 and came from California, Illinois in New York. One runner-up, Briana Herrera, was named special correspondent for Material Girl and will blog on behalf of the brand.

So that’s what’s happened to all our lost socks! On Friday night at New York Fashion Week, Toni Braxton helped unveil a custom dress made entirely of socks, designed by Project Runway All Stars’ Michael Costello. The gown is the centerpiece of the “SheKnows Where the Other Sock Went” campaign, an initiative from SheKnows.com to raise money for charity.

“When SheKnows called me … I was all over it,” Costello says. “I love a challenge, and I just thought it was something that could be totally cool.”

Using more than 700 single socks, Costello created a one-shoulder gown for Braxton, which she debuted at Friday night’s bash and wears in an advertising campaign, shot by noted fashion photographer Nigel Barker. The dress will go up for auction this spring, with proceeds benefiting Autism Speaks, the world’s largest autism and science advocacy organization. It’s also a cause close to Braxton’s heart: the singer’s youngest son was diagnosed in 2003 and she serves as a spokeswoman for the group.
