Who, you might wonder, made this lovely creation? It wasn't Monique Lhuillier. It wasn't Vera Wang. It wasn't Oscar de la Renta. It was Ann Kagawa Lee. You know, of Honolulu, HI.

Okay, chances are you've never heard of Lee, but she's soon to be a household name for her unbelievable skills as a designer -- working with toilet paper, tape and glue. (And please don't squeeze the garment!)

Lee is the winner of the 2009 Toilet Paper Wedding Dress contest hosted by Cheap-Chic-Weddings.com, and she's taking home the $1,000 top prize for her creation.

Lee says her design has a "Gone with the Wind" influence, and she used her origami skills to create a stunning bridal gown. Her work has been compared to Oscar de la Renta's.

Lee's dress, as well as the second and third place winners' gowns, will be on permanent exhibit in a Ripley's Believe It Or Not! Museum.

Is a pretty pedi worth losing a pinky toe? We think not! Photo: Heide Benser, Corbis

I recently walked out on a pedicure because I could clearly see that the technician was not cleaning her tools before she used them on the girl next to me (who had open blisters on her feet, by the way).

I also have two friends who got infections from pedicures -- one of them had to have a toenail surgically removed and the other had her pinky toe amputated.

Since then, I have decided to do my own at-home pedis because I don't want to lose a digit. The Barielle 60 Second Mani-Pedi is a dream come true for DIY-ers -- it's a scrub that whisks away scraggly cuticles and dry patches, and it moisturizes so you don't even need lotion afterward.

Barielle's celebrity nail technician, Elle, is also skeeved out by public pedis and gives this advice for saving your feet from nastiness.

Topshop onstage! Florence Welch performs at the Glastonbury Festival in a custom Topshop one-piece. Photo: Hayley Madden/Redferns

Runway designers collaborating with music stars isn't new. Britney was dressed by DSquared for her "Circus" tour and sadly, Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy was busy working on costumes for Michael Jackson's upcoming world tour before the king of pop's untimely death. Now Topshop?

This is one of the few times we have heard of a large retailer designing for music performers, but if anybody could break into the business of dressing bands, it'd be Topshop with its pulse on "fast fashion."

For Florence Welch of Florence and The Machine's Glastonbury Festival performance last weekend (June 27), Topshop outfitted the indie pop darling in a black one-piece with a fitted bodice and long fringe flowing from the arms that was anchored at the sleeve by a row of roses. The look had plenty of thigh exposure with the bottom cut more like a bathing suit, but it is the stage after all. If you've got it, flaunt it!

Wrangler has reinvented itself and you may never think middle-aged Westerner again. The new ad campaign is for the European arm of the nearly 60-year-old jean and apparel company.

In fact, the photos won the Grand Prix Award at the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival for their reinvention of the somewhat dated brand.

The U.S. judge for the Cannes Lions competition, Gerry Graf of Saatchi & Saatchi, told London's The Guardian that the campaign "screams raw sex." "That's what you want when you put on some jeans. That's what I want," Graf added.

Kristina Higgins, the would-be Miss Georgia. Photo: missga.org

Kristina Higgins was crowned Miss Georgia 2009 last weekend.

Then she shocked America when she decided her teaching job was worth more to her than the crown.

As reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Higgins was recently hired as a special education instructor at Snellville Middle School in Gwinnett County, Georgia.

When it came time to sign her contract as Miss Georgia, Higgins decided she didn't want to give up her teaching position.

Runner-up Emily Cook assumed the crown.

Not your average husband and wife! David and Victoria bring the heat for Emporio Armani Underwear's Fall/Winter 2010 campaign. Photo courtesy of Giorgio Armani

We've seen that rope before!

Just when we thought David Beckham's Emporio Armani underwear campaign couldn't get any hotter, Victoria teams up with her soccer star hubby for a steamy ménage à deux shoot.

Shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot, the new Emporio Armani Underwear Fall/Winter 2009 images features the husband and wife team posing together.

David sports slicked back hair and briefs, while Victoria wears a simple black bra and panty set with her locks twisted into an Asian-inspired topknot.

While Victoria and David both look great in their individual ads, we think casting the parents of three (sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz) together makes for a sexy depiction of marital bliss.

What do you think? Does the couple together make for a hotter campaign or are Posh and David better off alone?

Busting out the big gun. Brüno at his L.A. premiere. Photo: Jon Kopaloff, FilmMagic

Hold onto your Prada purses people! Next Friday (July 10th) famed Austrian fashion reporter Brüno will strut his way into a theater near you. The new mockumentary (starring Sacha Baron Cohen of "Borat" fame) chronicles the faux journalist's trip from front row at Stella McCartney to the checkout line at Sears.

In honor of its release, we emailed the flamboyant trendsetter to ask his opinion about pressing fashion issues. Namely, Michelle Obama's style, the omnipresent gladiator sandal, and which world leader he'd most like to make over (hint: it rhymes with "Schmahmadinejad").

Stylelist: What do you think of Michelle Obama's style; how does it compare to yours?

Brüno: Ich can understand ze pressure zat Michelle is going through. Every day she stands next to one of ze sexiest, most powerful men in ze vorld, und has to look AMAZING, but not steal ze limelight. Exactly ze same dilemma all Bruno's boyfriends have felt. As far as First Ladies' style goes, I think she's doing a good job und compares favourably to say Nancy Reagan's 'Microwaved Barbie' look, or Barbara Bush's 'Boris Yeltsin in drag' thing.

Regarding Barack, ich am very disappointed in him so far. Vhen he kept banging on about 'Change - yes ve can!'...Ich suggest Barack, zhat you change ze record - put on Just Dance by Lady Gaga, rip off your shirt, und give us all a glimpse of vhat we voted for! I am hoping zat he vill soon declare war on Iran, so that he has to visit troops in the desert und break out the beach wear.

Looks like Kanye West is covering his fashion bases! First, he worked gratis for Louis Vuitton and Raf Simons, now Kanye is going mainstream by working at Gap!

As Us Weekly initially reported Kanye has been quietly putting in the hours as an intern at the Gap offices. "He works all the time, and one Friday night recently, he stayed until 12 a.m. He's learning the fashion business from the inside and trying to do it quietly," the site stated.

Gap confirmed the story to StyleList: "Kanye's been spending time working in Gap's offices, working with Patrick Robinson, as he's interested in gaining more firsthand experience of the fashion industry."

From the sounds of our Gap source, we speculate that Kanye is probably not interning but rather working on a collaboration. (After all, we can't really see the music mogul fetching coffee and managing calendar appointments like a usual fashion intern.)

Plus, considering the cool capsule collections with last year's CFDA winners, could a Kanye/Gap one be far behind?

And after his much-hyped Louis Vuitton sneaker collaboration was delayed until the end of the year, maybe Kanye if flying under the fashion radar for awhile?

Did your city make the most stylish list? Photo: Image Source

Think you live in the most stylish city in the world? If you're a Parisian, you'd be right!

That is, according to the just released Anholt-GfK Roper City Brands Index report that ran on Forbes.com.

The report is the result of surveying 10,000 people from 20 countries and asking them to rank 50 different cities based on their stylishness (factors include multiculturalism, nightlife and general buzziness).

Of the esteemed Top Ten, the "fashion capitals" rounded out the coveted 1-4 spots: Milan, New York, and London -- in that order -- following Paris. Not a huge surprise. But the rest of the list was what we were really interested in.

Rome ranked #5, Los Angeles #6, Tokyo #7, Madrid #8, San Francisco #9, and Barcelona held up the rear.

With West Coast designers pumping fresh new blood into the American fashion scene (not to mention Silicon Valley's contribution of the iPhone to the world!), we're happy to see that La La Land and SanFran make the cut.

But what do you think? Did the respondents get it right? What's your take on the Top Ten Stylish Cities? (Austin, speak up!)

Back in October of last year, we predicted that Leanne Marshall would win Season 5 of "Project Runway." Now that Marshall officially won the crown, she's hit the fashion world running with a collection with Bluefly!

Marshall gives StyleList a sneak peek at the collaboration and dishes on what's in store for the up-and-coming designer. It's big time!

Formerly based in Portland, Ore., Marshall has since moved to Brooklyn, NY and scrapped her first "Leanimal" clothing label in favor of something more sophisticated.

So few of us can actually afford to drop thousands upon thousands of dollars on an expensive piece of jewelry right now (or, quite frankly, ever).

The idea of just dabbing on (and not dripping in) a high-end jewelers' creation is luxury enough these days.

And since so much of it is about owning something from one of the prestigious houses, I suggest treating yourself to one of their much more affordable, yet no less breathtaking, pieces -- a fine fragrance.

Here is a selection of the most brilliant.

Delices de Cartier With big, juicy, ripe notes of iced cherry, this yummy Oriental is spot-on for summer; $60.

Bulgari Omnia Green Jade The Italian jeweler's crisp green and soft jasmine scent is clouded in musk and - get this - pistachio. How very gelato of them; $60.

Chopard Cascade They celebrated the launch of this new Oriental fragrance, which was inspired by red carpet glamour, with a big fête at Cannes. (We can't think of a more appropriate place to debut.)

What's does that smell like? Belle de Nuit, a flower that blooms at night, throws its scent, and closes up in the morning. Leave them wanting more, I guess. Launching later this summer; $79.

Van Cleef & Arpels Féerie I love fantasizing about the jeweler's whimsical Midsummer Night's Dream Collection, but it's this delicate, sparkling floral scent - which has the same lighthearted spirit - which makes the dream a reality; $110.

She's still got it!

25 years after starring in Olay's original UK TV ad campaign, iconic Sixties model Twiggy is back to work as the brand's face, this time appearing in Olay Definity's new UK print ads (above).

"We we thrilled to welcome Twiggy back to the brand," says Sarah Clarke, spokesperson for Olay Definity. "She is a true beauty icon who continues to be an inspiration to millions of women across the UK."

Despite the controversy that her rail-like, boyish figure caused (you think Kate Moss had it bad?), the original waif (now, about to turn 60) has endeared herself to an audience of women who have likely long given up trying to look good in a Mary Quant minidress.

In addition to the new Olay campaign, the supermodel is continually the center of British behemoth Marks & Spencer's celebrated high-profile ad campaigns (holding her own with the likes of fresher-faced models like Lily Cole, Erin O' Connor and Lizzy Jagger), and even has her own line of apparel and bed linens.

Maybe it's Twiggy's down-to-earth attitude about aging that makes the former "It" girl so easy to relate to.

"I don't understand people getting depressed about growing older," she told the Daily Mail. "There is nothing you can do about it, so you might as well embrace it."

Gisele Bündchen is the most recent supermodel to announce her pregnancy, but it turns out she's just one of a handful of Victoria's Secret Angels currently expecting.

There must be something about those wings? Or maybe VS lingerie is really doing the trick?

Former Angel Bündchen just confirmed her baby bump, while Adriana Lima -- who most recently posed for Givenchy -- broke the news about her mom-to-be status in late May. Heidi Klum, who has been promoting the latest/greatest VS bra, has baby number four on board.

Plus, VS model Alessandra Ambrosio -- who currently shares a Marie Claire cover with Brüno -- gave birth to a baby girl just last August.

What do the lingerie models look like now?

Bündchen was quoted on people.com about her new pregnant mind-set: "I am crazy about children ... I am an adoptive mother ... I've already had this experience for two years." Bündchen was referring to husband Tom Brady's son (with former model Bridget Moynahan), John Edward Thomas Moynahan.

These tots will have some seriously decked out nurseries: Forbes recently ranked the top earning models, and our VS girls are at the top of the list: Bündchen is #1, Klum is #2, Lima is #4 (Ambrosio is #5).

A case of plastic surgery gone awry? Supermodel Karen Mulder has decided to take what may be botched surgery into her own hands by threatening her plastic surgeon!

Telegraph UK reports that the 39-year old supermodel is being held in police custody in Paris after being arrested for allegedly placing threatening phone calls to her plastic surgeon.

The detective on the case said that Mulder demanded that a previous operation be reversed and "'was screaming and shouting about the operation and became extremely threatening.'"

Known for her runway grace and stunning good looks, Mulder in her heyday modeled for the likes of Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent and was close friends with a pre-Sarkozy Carla Bruni.

Everyone has a little "Sasha Fierce" in them, right? And now you can have a little "Sasha Fierce" in your wardrobe, too.

Beyoncé and mom Tina Knowles will launch a fall capsule collection for their House of Deréon line, based on the wardrobe the performer wears on her current world tour as alter-ego, "Sasha Fierce."

While the costumes Beyoncé dons on stage to promote her current album, "I am...Sasha Fierce," were designed by Thierry Mugler, Tina Knowles -- creative director of House of Deréon -- saw an opportunity to reach out to a wider audience.

"The line really exudes a different side of my personality, which I am grateful that I can express. The 'Sasha Fierce' line is for the confident, sensual and daring side of a woman," Beyoncé explains,

The collection -- which consists of sportswear, outerwear, handbags, footwear, eyewear, lingerie and jewelry -- will retail for $20 - $125 and be available later this month at Macy's, Dillard's and department stores nationwide.

Yesterday, Twitter was abuzz with Nicole Richie's tweet about her new maternity clothing line with A Pea in the Pod.

The mother of one (daughter Harlow) is expecting her second child, but isn't letting a baby bump get in the way of her design ambitions!

After announcing last month that her jewelry line House of Harlow 1960 was ready to expand into clothing and shoes, Richie managed to simultaneously finish up her exclusive line for stylish maternity retailer A Pea in the Pod.

On her official site, Nicole revealed that she was excited about her shoot (last weekend) for the maternity line with photographer James White.

A Pea in the Pod adds that the company "is excited about their partnership with Nicole Richie and the collection will be in stores in early August."

Pricing info and images aren't available just yet, but considering her House of Harlow line and her maternity style, we're anticipating a dose of Nicole's bohemian flair!

There's a reason American Apparel's clothing is often out of this world -- allegedly numerous employees who manufacture the clothing are working illegally in the United States.

WWD reports that as many as one-third of the workers at American Apparel's Los Angeles production facilities aren't authorized to work in this country. The U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency held an inspection of the facilities early this year, and just now released the results to the clothing company.

While, of course, this could all just be chalked up to some HR mistakes, American Apparel is far from being a stranger to controversy. Aside from its provocative ads, the company just settled a lawsuit with Woody Allen for using his image (below) without permission.

Additionally, CEO Dov Charney is well-known for being an outspoken advocate for immigration reform. According to WWD, he's used his brand to sell T-shirts supporting the cause and has even put up advertising billboards to publicize the need for change.

A LAST LOOK AT THE KING OF POP'S WARDROBE
Michael Jackson's longtime costume designers (and "Smooth Criminal" shoe co-patent holders), Dennis Tompkins and Michael Bush, were working on uber amplified versions of Jackson's iconic looks for his "This Is It" tour, which was set to kickoff later this month. "The" red leather jacket from "Thriller" was poised for a comeback, complete with a sewn-in, fiber-optic light show -- timed to the music, of course.

BETSEY JOHNSON'S FINAL CARTWHEEL?
The sixty-something, shaggy-haired creator of fun fashion is said to be bowing out as head designer of her namesake empire after her September show. And she already has a replacement in mind, whom she plans to "Betsey-fy," but don't expect Johnson to completely fade-out. She plans to stay on as "megaconsultant."
[TheCut]

CHANEL TELLS IT LIKE IT IS
A statement was released to fashion editors, advertisers, copywriters and all others who use the designer's name in print, declaring what is and what isn't CHANEL. If a piece doesn't include the fashion house's luxe label, then you need to leave the designer name out of it. Merci!

The lovely editors at ELLE magazine are sharing an exclusive preview of "Coco Before Chanel," a film by Anne Fontaine.

While French trailers have surfaced on the Internet, this is the first English-language teaser for the film, which is set to premiere in the U.S. in limited release on September 25.

French ingenue Audrey Tautou -- who most recently starred in CHANEL's short film "Train de Nuit" -- plays the fashion legend, and from what we've seen, she's just as talented and captivating as she was in "Amelie."

First "The September Issue," now "Coco Before Chanel"...September's gonna be one stylish movie month.
