After much anticipation, Rodarte’s limited-edition collection for Target is finally available. It launched in stores and online on Sunday, and is flying from store shelves at lightning fast speed–we even spotted the sold-out Sequin Ribcage Print Dress, originally retailing for $50, going for as much $250 last night on eBay. Other coveted items that sold out quickly included the Leopard Dress, $45, the Bow Belt, $13, and the Slip Lace Dress, $40. In terms of what is still for sale, the last check online showed a lot of sizes in the Mad Men-appropriate blue Swiss Dot Dress, $40, the pink Lace Halter Floral Dress, $45, the wrap-tie cardigan sweater, $45, and a few more items. But literally, every time you refresh, more items are gone, so hurry! Click here to shop Rodarte at Target! Tell us: Have you purchased the Rodarte at Target collection yet? -Kristin Larson

As the face of Chanel’s Coco Cocoon collection, Lily Allen knows what it’s like to be decked head-to-toe in designer clothes. And now the pop star is planning on bringing her luxe lifestyle to every girl. The jewelry designer sat down with London’s Radio One to announce plans to open a rental fashion store, reports British Vogue. “It’s about making fashion democratic. That’s the idea behind it,” says Lily who has partnered with her sister on this new fashion venture. The singer and her sister will start breaking ground on their plan to open “Lucy In Disguise” in March 2010. “It’s about getting really nice clothes but letting people rent them for affordable prices so they can go out and feel like a million dollars and it won’t cost them a million dollars,” she says. Considering Karl Lagerfeld’s love for Lily, we can only imagine the fabulous fashions that will be up for grabs at Lucy In Disguise. We can’t wait! Stay tuned for more details.

Jean Paul Gaultier To Design for Target!

Oct/20/2009 at 12:10 PM ET

FAME

Does this mean we can expect to see pointy cone-bra corset styles at Target? Mark your fashion calendars: Jean Paul Gaultier is doing a cheap chic collection for Target arriving in stores March 7, 2010. The collection will be available in 250 stores and online through April 11. Gaultier, known for his racy, theatrical, avant-garde styles, was one of the first designers to make lingerie fashionable — he designed the now ubiquitous cone-bra corsets for Madonna’s Blond Ambition tour in the Nineties. Always inspired by the world around him, WWD reports the Gaultier Target collection “pays tribute to the American woman, celebrating the forces of style both past and present in American pop culture.” Does that mean current fans Rihanna and Katy Perry, who attended his Paris runway show this month? Gaultier, who’s also the creative director at Hermes and who received the prestigious CFDA International Award in 2000, is the third guest designer in Target’s Designer Collaborations series, following Anna Sui last month and Alexander McQueen last spring. –Kristin Larson

Mandy Moore Celebrates Fashion, Charity and Being A Newlywed

What’s better than one hot store opening in a new location in West Hollywood? Two hot stores opening at once, of course! When Diavolina and Madison launched with a single party benefiting the Susan G. Komen foundation Thursday night hosted by Current/Eliott designers Meritt Elliot and Emily Current, Lucy Hale, Tichina Arnold, and Mandy Moore came out to celebrate. Moore, who works with Current and Elliot (they are also stylists) regularly, had something else her mind: her husband of seven months, Ryan Adams. “I’m learning every day,” she said of being married. “I’m lucky because I get to spend every day with my best friend and he’s a great influence.” And their pals second the emotion, with Elliot saying of the couple, “Being around both of them is a joy. They’re super fun.” Mandy also praises Emily and Merritt in turn, enthusing, “I’m always happy to support them, I couldn’t be more excited for their success. You know when hope for people and they deserve it and then it happens to the good people — there is justice in the world. I adore them and I am always happy to come out. Anything to show my love.” The other stars were focused on love of a different kind — retail love! “I’ve never been to Diavolina before but, of course, I’ve been to Madison,” said Hale. “I saw a really cute studded bag in there so I’m going to check that out.” Arnold was thinking bigger. “There are a red pair of Yves Saint Laurent shoes over there. I must have those. It’s perfect for the holidays.”

Who says that stars don’t love a bargain? Celebrities and bargain-hunters alike enjoyed frenetic, elbows-out shopping at the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund’s 12th annual Super Saturday, which took place at Nova’s Ark Project in Water Mill. Power shopper Barbara Walters was one of the first to peruse merchandise as the gates opened at noon. By 3:20 pm, a booth stocked with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen‘s The Row was “sold out,” according to an announcer on a loudspeaker. “I took the last three shirts,” mentioned Kelly Ripa. She had on a flowing patterned dress by Etro that she said she had fallen in love with when Nicole Richie was on her show in a similar design. “I’m proud of [The Row],” said Ripa. “They have a vision. I got whatever was left over in my size.” Hosted by Blake Lively and Ripa, rows of booths covered by colorful straw umbrellas offered up high fashion — Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, Diane von Furstenberg, Armani, Ralph Lauren, and Tory Burch — at rock bottom prices to benefit the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. Nearby, Gayle King assessed the deals. “The shopping is good,” she told PEOPLE. “I don’t need one thing, but I’m a girl who loves a bargain, so I wore comfortable shoes. You’re shopping for a good cause, but it’s the thrill of the hunt. I just got a Carolina Herrera dress that was $1790 for $350. I have no idea where I’m going to wear it, but it doesn’t matter!” With beau Jason Hoppy and dog Cookie at her side, Bethenny Frankel of The Real Housewives of New York City was looking to cover up at the beach. “I bought a Michael Kors bathing suit called a “swimming dress,” she mentioned.

Last night in Hollywood, Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Melissa Joan Hart, Julie Bowen and more helped Soleil Moon Frye launch her eco-friendly baby-clothing line Private Label at an event sponsored by Weleda. The line includes shirts, pants, blankets, and onesies in solid, bold colors –- think American Apparel-esque basics for babies –- and according to co-founder Paige Tolmach was inspired by the colors of a candy store. Soleil Moon Frye looked no further than to her daughters, Poet and Jagger, to model the line during the party. Between keeping an eye on her daughters and entertaining her celebrity friends, Soleil stole a few minutes to give pal Demi Moore a tour of the store.
