Check Out Lady Gaga’s Latest Airport Look

Check Out Lady Gaga’s Latest Airport Look

Masatoshi Okauchi/Rex USA Generally travel apparel consists of jeans and cozy sweaters , but as we’ve learned, in Lady Gaga ‘s world, there’s no such thing as casual. After her glammed-out appearance at Seoul’s Gimpo Airport recently — the star wore a peekaboo floor-length Atelier Versace gown and a pearl mask — she topped herself Tuesday, wearing another Versace getup to Narita International Airport near Tokyo, Japan. Gaga’s over-the-top look consisted of a Swarovski crystal-covered leather trench, black tights, sky-high platform heels and colorful hair galore. (We pity the person sitting next to her!) Gaga is overseas for the Asian leg of her Born This Way Ball tour, which includes performances in Seoul, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Bangkok and more. Many of her tour costumes were designed by Versace and Giorgio Armani; see them in action on photographer Terry Richardson’s blog .

In 2008, Chanticleer presented an innovative program as part of the California Arts Council’s American Masterpieces – California, entitled El Camino Real: Chanticleer Travels the Mission Road, recreated on a documentary DVD and CD of the same name.

Stranded in Malaga :(

Stranded in Malaga :(

My brother and I are here in Malaga, Spain for a stop in our trip through europe, and just happened to be planning on travelling to Madrid today! Turns out that the trains are shut down except for a couple that are going through today but are far too expensive. Walking through the streets is a nightmare and every now and then you can hear firecrackers going off, and see people chaining ladders to light posts. Luckily our hostel here is letting us stay another night, and being in Madrid right now seems like a bad idea. So far here everything is looking very peaceful, but we know it can turn bad very fast. Here’s our pics! -Seth and Connor Dear

LeAnn Rimes or Brandi Glanville: Who Wore Her Michelle Jonas Dress Best?

LeAnn Rimes or Brandi Glanville: Who Wore Her Michelle Jonas Dress Best?

Bravo; Pacific Coast News Do ladies who’ve loved alike, dress alike? Late last week, we spotted LeAnn Rimes out in Malibu wearing Michelle Jonas Travelwear’s keyhole dress in “Italian moss” ($235). She paired the maxi — which features an open back — with an unstructured tan blazer, pink purse and booties. Interestingly enough, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville — who was once married to Rimes’s current husband, Eddie Cibrian — wore the same dress in blue on the most recent season of the Bravo show. The reality vixen sported the dress as-is and paired it with breezy sandals on a Hawaiian episode entitled “Leis and Lies in Lanai.” Since it is such a style coincidence, we have to ask: Who wore her maxi dress best?
