Going Gaga at Thierry Mugler's Paris Fashion Show

Fashion and music are symbiotic. Back in 2009, Lady Gaga premiered her song, Bad Romance, at the Alexander McQueen show (Missed it? Catch it here.) This season, Gaga mixes it up with a remix of Born This Way for Thierry Mugler's menswear show, which kicked off Paris Fashion week on January 19th. Given that Gaga's stylist, Nicol Formichetti, now heads up the label, it makes sense for these two to collaborate. You can watch the dark, pulsating video with repetitive German lyrics here.

Directed by fashion photographer Mariano Vivanco, this moody black and white short film, signals the rebirth of the label under Fromichetti. Stripped down to the basics, the label is now known simply as Mugler.

On the runway, there was the requisite twist on black, but there were also splashes of orange (Yes, you read that right!) suits to break up the monotones. Black make-up, white veils, and an eclectic melange of fabrics added visual texture. Think Thriller meets Berlin.

Although Lady Gaga was credited as "musical director of this menswear project", the Lady herself was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps she didn't want to detract from the runway.

While we're on the subject of music idols, you can win a trip to the American Idol finale and the opportunity to snag $10,000,0000 or $10,000 in the AT&T $10,000,000 Idol Sweepstakes. That's enough to create your own song or short film in Paris. Idle on over and enter.

Bloom In Love In Paris

Hollywood hottie, Orlando Bloom, and his relatively new bride, Miranda Kerr, stayed at the swank Four Seasons Hotel George V when they were in town for Paris Fashion Week. According to OK! magazine, the newlyweds held hands when they were checking in. Sure, Kerr is five months pregnant, but that didn't stop the Australian model from strutting her stuff in a Nicolas Ghesquière houndstooth shift with a warrior edge on Balenciaga's catwalk. Bloom, well, bloomed with pride as he watched his wife steal the show... for him, at least. Also grabbing the runway limelight was Gisele Bundchen (You'd never know she had a baby less than 10 months ago.).

Olivia Palermo Perks Up Paris

The fate of MTV's The City is still up in the air, but that hasn't prevented Elle's show pony, Olivia Palermo, from hitting Paris Fashion Week. Palermo was snapped arriving at the Giambattista Valli fashion show earlier this week, looking runway worthy in a creamy feminine frock topped with a gray blazer. If only her personality and work ethic on The City were as charming! Why showcase such a bad attitude when you don't need the paycheck?

The City isn't Palermo's only job. Wilhelmina Models represents her. This year, she also designed an eponymous jewelry collection for Roberta Freymann, inspired by her favorite cities, including Paris.

Feel like doing your own thing like Palermo? Hostess is handing out $1 million in their Halloween promotion. That's enough to move to Paris and make it your city. Now, if only MTV would shoot something there! Scare up your deets and enter.
