Take A Bite Out Of The "Twilight" Frenzy!

Twilight fans are in a rabid frenzy this week because the movie based on Stephenie Meyer's four book series about a ho-hum accident-prone girl (Into the Wild's Kristen Stewart) who falls in love with a vampire (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire's Robert Pattinson - if you haven't heard of him, you will be seeing him on magazine covers soon) is out in theaters today! Together they build a codependent relationship of teenage angst and emo-immortality. As said, the fans of this series are rabid. Case in point: look up the small riot that erupted when Pattinson made an appearance at a Hot Topic in San Francisco. The store that made goth and punk household names is the source for all Twilight fanatics. From "Team Edward" and "Team Jacob" shirts (this makes more sense if you read the books) to pins and key chains of your favorite characters, the store has all you need to look like an obsessive fan - and there is no shame in that. I am wearing my Twilight hoodie right now.

Elle's Fall A To Zee Trends: Cool Britannia

If you think the British Invasion started with the Beatles and ended with the Spice Girls, think again- these days, the fashion is cooler on the other side...of the pond. The pretty meets punk, Vivienne Westwood-inspired look is the perfect mix of royal refinement and downtown edge. Need proof? Just ask Kate Moss, whose collection for Topshop is likely to sell out faster than a freshly baked scone. You won't need a passport to get the look- take a cue from Agyness Deyn and Daisy Lowe who love Dr. Martens' patent boots, perfect for adding punk appeal to skirts and tights, or Alexa Chung, who has been photographed in more than a few of Luella's frocks. And no review of Brit girl style would be complete without mention of Alexander McQueen, whose current collection honors Queen Elizabeth II. Who knew patriotism could be so glamorous? Go to Elle's Fall A to Zee Trends to see Joe Zee's picks, and click the slideshow for more ways to get the cool Britannia look for yourself.

Hive Q&A: Latest Project Runway Bootee Says He Owned The Runway, But Not The Outfit

As if being one of the five remaining designers wasn't enough pressure in itself, this week's Project Runway challenge had the final contenders stepping into a dual role- they would each be designing a look inspired by a musical genre. Their client? A fellow contestant. Time flew by as they struggled to play designer and model all at once, and the pressure manifested itself in all sorts of ways- Leanne embraced her hip-hop persona with a hilarious rap, Korto started feeling the country twang, and Kenley, despite being outfitted in a getup that was purely pop, had an attitude that was quite the opposite. When it was time for Heidi, Michael, Nina, and guest judge LL Cool J to weigh in, it seemed as if many missed the mark- some held back in their designs for fear of going over the top, while others decided going all out was what it would take to win. Kenley's frustrations flared, and Kors' comments were some for the record books- specifically towards Leanne's design for Korto's country persona ("It looks too much like a woman going out for ribs") and towards Suede's look for Jerell ("It looks like rock n' roll going to the grocery store"). In the end, the win went to Korto, whose punk look for Suede was the perfect balance of over the top and believable, and one unlucky designer saw that the outfit he created, while well put together, just wasn't enough. Read on for my exclusive interview to find out who it was.

Style Steal: Get Georgia Jagger's Rockin' Look!

Georgia Jagger certainly held up the family name at the Home of Alfred Dunhill Store Launch Party with her rockstar-chic look. Model, fashionista, and daughter of legendary rocker Mick Jagger, Georgia always has a look that's hip and fun, but stays true to her rock n' roll roots. Keeping it cool, casual, and feminine, Georgia effortlessly donned a carefree white cotton mini, but as always, she kicked it up notch with rockstar accessories. To maintain her edge, Georgia paired the white basic with shiny and sleek black leggings that demand attention whether she's walking on stage, on the catwalk, or just down the street! To add a little punk to her rock, she cinched a black grommet belt at the waist and stayed warm with a plaid jacket. To top it off, she completed her look with a playful bowler hat. Georgia obviously inherited Mick's style gene and you can too! The Hive has all the pieces to create your own rockin' style. Check out my slideshow to get this rock n' roll inspired look!

Style Icon: M.I.A.'s Aerobic Instructor Chic

After witnessing major political unrest when visiting Sri Lanka, M.I.A.'s mother locked her in a room for a week. Literally. She said, "the only things in the room were a shelf with every Hindu god you could think of -- all 184 of them -- a locked cabinet and a sewing machine. By day three, I started taking down the curtains and making outfits. There was nothing else to do!" And that is how a style star is born.
