10 Important Things We Learned Last Week: July 31-August 6
This was the week we saw Karl Lagerfeld without his signature shades. Frightening! This week was also Shark Week.

PHOTOS: The Fashion World’s 5 Most Stylish Moms
In case you’d forgotten, today is Mother’s Day! Hooray, moms! And while we’d love to celebrate impossibly stylish mothers all over the globe, we ended up scrapping our original plan to personally wish every mother on Twitter a Happy Mother’s Day after realizing it wouldn’t be very practical. And then we went with this, a gallery of the fashion world’s most stylish moms.

Vera Wang’s Wedding Advice: I Do Not Want To See Your Shoes
When Vera Wang talks about weddings, it’s probably a good idea to take note. After all, the designer who made her name dressing the rich and fabulous for their walks down the aisle has now expanded her brand into over 40 categories, so now she can cater to the not-so-rich (but equally fabulous) too. But one Vera Wang staple that won’t cost a cent of your dowry is her wedding advice. And she has a definite opinion about where your feet should be on your big day.

PHOTOS: The 5 Big Trends On The Red Carpet At The Oscars
Admittedly, the bevy of expensive gowns at this year’s Oscars wasn’t the most exciting we’ve ever seen, but that didn’t stop a few looks from standing out. And among the ones that did, there were some pretty clear cut trends. Take a look at the colors and ideas that dominated the night and let us know if you see any trends you’ll be taking off the red carpet.
Don’t Forget About The Parties: Fashion Week’s Final Fêtes
Fashion Week has moved on to London and that’s probably a good thing considering how exhausting we found the ten day marathon of parties, shows and presentations. The first half of the week was good but the best after-parties happened as the show schedule was winding down. Kanye came out for V Man, SoHo House hosted a party for an iPad app and a new Guess flagship opened.
PHOTOS: Pretty, Pretty Pleats At Vera Wang
When we left the Rachel Roy presentation Thursday morning, we had long standing plans to jet back to the office, hunker down on our laptops and play some serious catch-up with fashion week posts. And then by a lucky miracle we found ourselves with a seat at Vera Wang‘s Fall 2011 show which, well, you’ll see.
Vera Wang’s David’s Bridal Collection Is Beautiful, Affordable
We feel like Vera Wang is having a moment. This month alone she designed one of the most beautiful dresses on the Golden Globes red carpet (that Mila Kunis emerald stunner) and attended the China State Dinner. But when we think Vera, we really think wedding gowns. And now photos of her collection for David’s Bridal are here!

Vera, Barbra, Anna & More: Who Was Last Night’s Best Dressed?
Washington, D.C. isn’t exactly known for being our nation’s most stylish city, but last night’s State Dinner held in honor of the Chinese president Hu Jintao brought out some of fashion’s biggest names — both in person and on the red carpet. While Michelle Obama was, hands down, best dressed of the evening, let’s take a look at some of the other guests — which include Anna Wintour, Vera Wang, Barbra Streisand, Michelle Kwan, Wendy Murdoch, and SVU’s own B.D. Wong! — to see who fared well and who, well, faltered.
PHOTOS: Karl, Vera, And More Sketch Ideas For Kate’s Dress
The royal engagement is barely a month old and already the wedding dress speculation is in full force — so full, in fact, that WWD managed to wrangle wedding dress sketch suggestions from 29 different designers and brands, including Karl Lagerfeld, Vera Wang, new-kid-on-the-bridal-block J.Crew, and Christian Lacroix. Notably missing from the list is current gown frontrunner Bruce Oldfield, which only adds fuel to the rumored fire. Let’s take a look!
Leighton Meester Is The New Face Of Vera Wang Fragrance
Gossip Girl‘s Leighton Meester is all set to be the face of Vera Wang‘s new fragrance. We know she’s making bank with all of her celebrity endorsements, and we’re happy for her because she deserves it. But we have to wonder why Blake Lively hasn’t gotten in on the endorsement-deal act.

Forbes magazine, originator of the listicle, today released an inventory of the world’s 100 most powerful women. On this list are 25 CEOs, six presidents and four first ladies. And there are exactly three fashion designers: Tory Burch, Vera Wang and Donna Karan. And we’re surprised (and a little offended) there aren’t way more.

Last night, Manhattan’s most fashionable — and those who could afford tickets — converged on Lincoln Center for Anna Wintour‘s “consumer-oriented” brainchild, Fashion’s Night Out: The Show. And while we have runway pics and photos of Pharrell and N.E.R.D.’s performance coming later, let’s take a look at who made the guest list and, more importantly, what they wore.
