Models

Let's hear it for the boys. So far, this week's most stylish parties have focused mostly on the work of men's designers — or designers who happen to be men. London this weekend saw the presentation of the Spring 2014 menswear collections by designers like Sibling and Alexander McQueen, and the coordinating parties drew dapper dudes and stylish women alike. Model Arizona Muse showed up at a party Esquire threw with Jimmy Choo, and Tommy Hilfiger and his wife Dee were spotted attending the shows.

Stateside, jewelry designer Phillip Crangi toasted the launch of his collaboration with Liberty United, alongside his sister Courtney Crangi, Jenna Lyons, and Prabal Gurung, among others. A look at those parties and more, here in the gallery.

This week's fashion parties ended on some decidedly uplifting notes. On Thursday night, Jason Wu hosted a benefit dinner for the AIDS Community Research Initiative of America, and Barneys CEO Mark Lee hosted a party to celebrate Proenza Schouler's First Collection capsule.

But perhaps this week's biggest party was the amfAR Inspiration Gala, where models Lindsey Wixson and Eniko Mihalik and other industry stars gathered to support the charity. But they weren't the only fashionable people who attended parties this week.

Models Cara Delevingne and Jourdan Dunn took over London's fire station on Wednesday night to celebrate the launch of DKNY's international public art project. Dita von Teese and Taylor Swift both looked stunning at the 2013 Fragrance Foundation Awards in New York, and Tory Burch wore a dark floral dress to a dinner for The Film Society in the Big Apple.

Stella McCartney also threw a party to present her Resort 2014 collection on Monday. The event had a star-studded guest list including Anna Wintour, Naomi Watts, and Jessica Stam. A look inside those parties and more, here in the gallery.

If you build it, they will come — even if it's raining cats and dogs. On Monday, Stella McCartney arranged her Resort 2014 collection in New York's very wet Jefferson Market Gardens and welcomed a stream of industry insiders and celebrities (Anna Wintour, Madonna, Kate Bosworth, Steven Tyler, and Jessica Stam, just to name a few), all of whom braved the downpour to come and see McCartney's latest offering.

The clothes, of course, shined just as bright as the guest list: the offering was composed primarily of garments in yellow, cream, and pale pink. McCartney injected layers of interest to her color story with some specially developed fabrics, like a python-embossed jacquard and a rose-colored paisley print. But perhaps the most interesting pieces were the ones that nodded playfully to the surrealist movement, with lips appearing as prints, lace embroideries, and even beaded appliqués.

Gemini are notoriously curious, enthusiastic, and eternally youthful, but with that comes the Gemini twins' paradox: those born between May 21 and June 20 also have a tendency to be restless, moody, and quick to react. Gemini typically are defined by "opposite" personality traits, which is why it makes a lot of sense that some of our favorite models would fall under this astrological sign. Take, for instance, Naomi Campbell (who just celebrated her birthday), Abbey Lee Kershaw, and Adriana Lima — all wildly successful models who can play the seductive siren for Vogue Italia as easily as they can slip into a couture look for Versace or play the coquettish innocent for a coveted Gucci fragrance campaign. We'll let their work speak for itself. Think you know which other models are quintessentially Gemini? Only one way to find out. Set your sights on some of the most stylish Gemini around, here in the gallery.

What's black and white and red all over? At the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, those seemed to be the colors of choice for the models walking down the red carpet.

Newcomer Barbara Palvin wore an unexpected but chic black tuxedo by Alexandre Vauthier to the premiere of Cleopatra, and Heidi Klum wore a white, studded Versace gown to the premiere of Nebraska. Inès de la Fressange, at left, wowed photographers in a strapless red dress on her way to a screening of Jeune & Jolie. But Milla Jovovich was spotted in all three colors when she chose a Spring 2013 Chanel Couture gown for the Blood Ties premiere.

But there were a few gorgeous girls who broke that trend: Joan Smalls saw Cleopatra in a stunning pale pink Pucci, and Liu Wen wore a deep purple Roberto Cavalli gown to see All Is Lost.

When you find something that works for you sartorially, you have to hang on to it; whether it's a hemline, color combination, or favorite silhouette, some signature styles are just too good to abandon. Not only is it a reality for us mere mortals, but it also holds true for our favorite supermodels. Former catwalkers like Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiffer, and Naomi Campbell all have their trademark styling techniques — and even though they may not work the runway much these days, they still flaunt their symbolic sophistication and classic clothing choices on many a red carpet. Click through to see 11 supermodels that know what works for them and aren't going to give it up.

The '90s was a decade devoted to supermodels, and few were as recognizable as the blond stunner known as Claudia Schiffer. From being discovered in a German nightclub (at only 17 years old) to practically going straight onto the covers of Elle, Vogue, Cosmopolitan, and Harper's Bazaar, just to name a few, Claudia set the standard for the sexy supermodel — and to this very day, she still continues to wow us with her classic, ageless beauty. In honor of her 42nd birthday tomorrow, here are our favorite Claudia cover girl moments from the '90s.
