  • As if its trademark lawsuit against Yves Saint Laurent wasn't enough to worry about, Christian Louboutin now has to deal with the possibility that Jessica Simpson may have copied his Straratata sandal. [The Huffington Post]

  • Speaking of copyright infringement: Guess CEO Paul Marciano defended his company against accusations that it's been knocking off Gucci. "I truly believe that if this is something Gucci was genuinely concerned with, they would have acted within days, everywhere," Marciano said in court. "Are you telling me today that suddenly you realize what's happened in 1995?" [The Daily Telegraph]

  • Barbie is running for president, but not without a little help from Chris Benz. The designer created the campaign wardrobe for the new I Can Be President Barbie doll – which consists of a single suit. "She actually doesn’t have a change of clothes, and she’s not allowed to take those clothes off either," Benz explained. "That’s not what she does." [Styleite]

An Inside Look at the Chris Benz Fall 2012 Beauty

>> The Fall 2012 beauty look at Chris Benz was one part Dolly Parton in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and one part Liza Minnelli in Cabaret. Eyelids were given an ombré look with silver shadow dusted all the way up to the brows, and lips were given a creamy sheen with Lancôme Rouge In Love lipstick in Sweet Embrace. A dusting of blush and a dab of Juicy Tubes gloss in Pure finished the look. Hair was all about high-impact volume — thanks to the addition of some ultra-teased wigs. Nails painted in shades of lavender, chocolate, and gray completed the endearingly kooky vibe.

Backstage at Chris Benz, hair and makeup were inspired by a mix of Dolly Parton in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and Liza Minnelli's Cabaret character. In a word: fun. Models had ombré lids with silver shadow all the way up to the brows, and the creamy lip color was created with Lancôme Rouge In Love lipstick in Sweet Embrace, a dusting of blush, and a dash of Juicy Tubes gloss in Pure. Paired with teased wigs and lavender, chocolate, and gray nails, the look was sparkling, sequined, and endearingly kooky. Check out the complete transformation right here.

NYFW: Jessica Szohr Adds a Little Roar to Her Prep

Gossip Girl Jessica Szohr is known for her disheveled-chic look off camera, but the actress went unusually polished for her appearance at Chris Benz's Fall 2012 show at New York Fashion Week.

Gossip Girl Jessica Szohr is known for her disheveled-chic look off camera, but the actress went unusually polished for her appearance at Chris Benz's Fall 2012 show at New York Fashion Week. Up top she wore a navy, schoolboy-style blazer with a black sequined tie-front blouse, which you can re-create by tying a sequined scarf around your neck. Down low, Jessica lightened things up with a pair of tan skinny jeans, which she cuffed at the bottom. But it's her feet that stopped the outfit from veering into too-preppy territory. The pointy leopard booties lend just enough roar factor without being obnoxious, which is just the way leopard should be worn, in doses. Re-create this preppy-cum-wild ensemble at the office, then remove the blazer to reveal a more nighttime feel for after-work sips.

Chris Benz Runway 2012 Fall

>> The prim and proper lady has gotten a major shot of whimsy for Fall 2012 thanks to Chris Benz. While super-femme details like oversized bows, sequins, and poufy skirts ruled, bright colors and playful hats helped to set a not-so-serious undertone. White and ivory got playful via pops of bright red, yellow, and green, while major layering lent a disheveled-chic vibe. Also in the mix, printed pants, knee-length skirts, cardigans, and some unique jackets.
