Typically, we leave the street style shots to others, but we couldn’t resist sharing this glorious getup by Russian designer Ulyana Sergeenko on her way to the Dior show. My amour! Way to make a gloomy day in Paris a little brighter.

Nigerian-born designer Duro Olowu’s business is based in London, but Harlem—where he lives with his wife, Thelma Golden, art-world A-lister and chief curator of The Studio Museum in Harlem—is where his heart is. JCPenney is betting Olowu, a perennial best-seller at Barneys and a regular in Vogue, can go big and has tapped him to kick off its new collaboration series.

A poignant documentary to add to your must-view list ASAP, a night at the museum, and Jon Stewart avec wife rolling through. Such was the case for last night’s Cinema Society, Bank of America, and Food & Wine-sponsored screening of A Place At The Table, featuring Jeff Bridges, an outspoken food policy advocate who launched the End Hunger Network in 1983, and restaurateur extraordinaire Tom Colicchio. The flick delves into the seriously broken system that is nutrition in the U.S., tackling the alarming rates of hunger as well as obesity nationwide (and, appallingly, how often both epidemics dovetail in the same households).

Last night real estate giants Douglas Elliman fêted their top selling agents of 2012 at Cipriani 42nd Street for their annual Elliman Awards. Also being celebrated? The ten year partnership of President and CEO Dottie Herman and Chairman Howard Lorber. If you’re looking for some of the chicest (and priciest) square footage in New York, it’s likely found under one of their listings.

During the TEDXWomen luncheon today in California, Salma Hayek Pinault announced CHIME FOR CHANGE, a new campaign founded by Gucci, to raise money and awareness for girl’s and women’s empowerment. The co-founders of the campaign, along with Hayek Pinault, are Gucci’s Frida Giannini and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, who also appear in the manifesto film.

Is today our lucky day? What a joy to stumble upon Germany’s very own Harald Glöckler! The self-dubbed Prince of Fashion was in his hometown of Berlin today to celebrate his latest book, Billy King – Mein Leben mit Harald Gloeoeckler. Harald co-wrote the book with his beloved pup, Billy. How we’ve missed him! Here are a few gems from our interview with him last year that still make us happy on the inside.

We doubt Cam and Mitchell could be this entrepreneurial and generous, but Modern Family’s Jesse Tyler Ferguson and his fiancée, Justin Mikita, are a different story. Last year the duo launched Tie the Knot, a line of cute bow ties that symbolize the struggle for marriage equality, while raising dough for various organizations that are fighting for civil rights for gay and lesbian Americans.

Looks like Cher believes in Gareth Pugh! By now you’ve probably heard that the iconic singer was in Paris yesterday and made a rare front row appearance at Pugh’s show at MADE. Last night she hit le Twitter to give her review of the collection. Watch your back, Cathy Horyn! Please note we are running Cher’s Tweets exactly as she wrote them. You don’t edit Cher.

Move over Drybar! There’s a new salon in town: DreamDry in Flatiron, founded by Rachel Zoe and Robin Moraetes. Fed up with expensive blowouts that never fluffed quite right, the duo vowed to give their clientele the blowouts they’ve always dreamed of. Introducing “Blowdry 2.0”! Not only does your stylist greet you: a personal iPad awaits your arrival, which is yours during your salon stint

Heterosexual Nick Gruber is in the naughty chair again. Page Six is reporting that on Tuesday night the former flame of Calvin Klein got into an altercation at the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood. Apparently he showed up at the hotel at 1:30 a.m. in search of a hamburger, but was told the kitchen was closed. Oh, hell no.
