Everything She Wants

Beyoncé is a busy girl. On the heels of her inaugural lip-syncing controversy, her sexy Super Bowl performance and a shocking  new single , the global superstar is now t he face of H&M’s summer campaign  wearing pieces inspired by her style.  Photo courtesy of H&M “I've always liked H&M's focus on fun and affordable fashion,"  says Beyoncé. " I really loved the concept we collaborated on to explore the different emotions of women represented by the four elements -- fire, water, earth and wind." The campaign was shot on the beautiful beaches of the Bahamas, and  Beyoncé says the shoot " felt more like making a video than a commercial." Beyoncé worked with the in-house design team at H&M to create the perfect pieces for the heat of summer, including a tiny tie-dye bikini. Twenty-five percent of sales will be donated to H&Mfor Water .

The biggest stars Everything She Wants spotted at Fashion Week was The Hills/The City alum Whitney Port and sometime actress Joy Bryant sitting in the front row of Rebecca Taylor's spring 2012 runway show at Lincoln Center. Oh yeah, I also saw stylist-cum-designer Rachel Zoe at a Starbuck's near West 57th Street.  I'm a big fan of Zoe's Bravo show, and was so star struck that I delayed my exit so I wouldn't walk past her while she ordered an undoubtedly tall cup of designer Joe.  Yes, she's tiny in person but doesn't look as disproportionately thin as she appears on TV. And she looked major in her chic black jumpsuit and dark sunglasses.

What do you think of ...

Who says Halloween fashion has to be spooky or silly?   How about making a dramatic statement in a divine black gown? Getty Images While I'm not suggesting that most of us can actually afford a couture gown, the ethereal black dresses that  Georges Chakra  showcased during the Spring/Summer 2010 Couture Show Paris Fashion Week offer endless inspiration for putting together a glam Goth ensemble for Halloween. Getty Images Following Chakra's design example, you could dress up a basic black dress with a few sequins here and a touch of tulle and tafetta there.  Check out my Fashion Week Examiner column for more images. Getty Images Since 2002,  Chakra  has presented his imaginative and seductive couture collections during Paris Fashion Week.  And the Lebanese designer's haute couture has graced many a red carpet and been donned by music-and-movie divas Beyonce, Queen Latifah, and Mariah Carey.  

On May 27, Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda return to the big screen in " Sex and the City 2 ." I loved the first film so much I cried.  Then again, I also teared-up during " Spice World ." " Sex and the City " was one of those TV shows I didn't want to end, so I welcome the chance to see these sassy New York City gals again.  They're like old friends you only kick it with once every couple years, but you pick up right where you left off. If you'd like to make a " Sex and the City " fashion statement, here are a few cute items I found. The " Carrie" necklace ($24.99) and " Famous Quotes" tote ($19.99) are from the HBO Shop , and the " Hello Lover" tee ($28) -- a Beyonce fave -- is by Mighty Fine . Sex and the City "Famous Quotes" tote, $19.99 Mighty Fine "Hello Lover" tee, $28 The trailer for " Sex and the City 2 " had me at "Hello Lover," ...

Unlike other shapewear brands, Yummie Tummie * is so cute you won't want to cover it up. Designed by Heather Thomson, a former stylist and creative director for Beyonce, P. Diddy, and J. Lo, Yummie Tummie is a hybrid of fashion meets function.  Alicia Keys is a fan too. A couple years ago, I was introduced to the line when I was sent samples of a long-sleeve black shirt and a white tank from the Seasonless Collection. Those samples are still going strong, perhaps because they're made with a patented dual fabric.  The secret weapon comes from the same-tone, firm control midsection panel which secretly smoothes and shapes your tummie and hips. In addition to a sexy Intimates Collection you won't be shy to show off, for Fall 2010 Yummie Tummie has launched a fashion-forward Ready-To-Wear Collection (available in mid-June/July) full of funky tops and leggings.  I love the black top to the right with shoulder pads and  embellished, sequined sleeves.
