The brand now plans to Photoshop nipples and pubic hair on models. The waxing industry rejoices.

Dogg, Snoop
Wore a leather peplum to dinner in Beverly Hills, made sorority girls everywhere jealous.
Dundas, Peter
The former Pucci designer was officially named the creative director of Roberto Cavalli, after much speculation.
Dunn, Jourdan
The model, mother, and sneaker fiend announced that she’s designing a collection of children’s clothing. Her son, Riley, will challenge North West in the under-10 fashion hierarchy.
Fashion Police
Following the departure of both Kelly Osbourne and Kathy Griffin, the TV show announced it will be on hiatus until September. Giuliana Rancic to keep quiet till then.
France
Will most likely pass a bill that bans brands from employing too-skinny models.
Gisele
The supermodel may have announced that she’s retiring from the runway. May also have been misunderstood. Only time will tell.

Hadid, Gigi
The social media-savvy supermodel was accused of using cocaine at a Victoria’s Secret party—based on her boyfriend’s Snapchat, of course.

V, Anne
The model revealed that she’s pregnant—by Instagramming her sonogram. No Snapchat needed.
Waterhouse, Suki
Is reportedly no longer dating Bradley Cooper. Will destroy the one photo ever taken of them together.
West, North
Looked grumpy leaving ballet class—perhaps because of the lack of child-sized couture available for her uses.
Williams, Pharrell
Will receive the 2015 CFDA Fashion Icon Award. Will continue to follow in Rihanna’s footsteps and be the face of Dior in 2016.
