  • Karl Lagerfeld will provide live fashion commentary of Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee for French state TV channel France 2. He's reprising his role from last year's royal wedding ceremonies, which he called a procession of "bad proportions, ugly hats, [and] short skirts on fat legs." Lagerfeld will go on air June 3. [The Daily Telegraph]

  • Tucker designer Gaby Basora worked with director Zoe Cassavetes on a silent film showcasing her Spring 2012 collection. It stars Liberty Ross as a movie star fighting against a "bicycle-riding ingenue" for a role. "Look at the women in the film, the ages — their spontaneity, bravado and love of life," Basora says. "It's the notion that Tucker has a timeless universal and utterly gorgeous appeal." [Grazia]

  • Wondering where the Jenna's Picks emails from J.Crew's Jenna Lyons have gone? They're currently on hiatus, according to Lyons. "It was totally not my idea, just for the record," she says. "It was actually the person who ran marketing at the time, who's no longer here, and wanted to do something that felt a little bit more personal." [The Cut]

  • Topshop will introduce a bridal collection designed by Richard Nicoll this June. Details are scant, but the brand recently tweeted, "Want to get married just so we can wear our @studio_nicoll bridal collection set to land in June. Can't give you a sneak peek but wow!" [The Huffington Post]

Must Mimic: Minnie Driver Shows Us a New Way to Rock Motorcycle Boots

Motorcycle boots have been a hot trend for a while now, and those who own a pair know how hard it is to get rid of them.

Motorcycle boots have been a hot trend for a while now, and those who own a pair know how hard it is to get rid of them. They're super comfy and lend instant badass to every outfit. While out and about in London, Minnie Driver showed off a new way to rock the statement boot. Start with an equally statement-making Tucker coat — it doesn't have to be black and ivory, or even a diamond print, just as long as it stands out. We love this gray and black cocoon coat by Tracy Reese ($190, originally $475). Then rock black leather pants or jeans with sheen, an oatmeal long-sleeve tee, a cozy black scarf, and a black bag, like Minnie's ruched Prada, and, of course, finish your look with your edgy boots. Your top half will say chic chick, while your bottom half will scream badass babe. And that's a combination you can't mess with.
