Sorry Kardashians, the Beckerman sisters are the hottest new it-sibs, and they’ve got an edgy indie style to prove it. They’ve risen to fame thanks to their daily style blog, Beckerman Bite Plate, and have collabed with brands like Nine West, H&M, and Uniqlo. In one of the site’s latest updates, Caillieanne Beckerman looked country-cute, twisting her hair into a lovely milkmaid braid. Don’t get distracted by this style’s name- this braided hairstyle isn’t just for farm girls. In fact, it’s been seen on some of our favorite, glamorous celebrities, from Elle Fanning to Drew Barrymore, Zoe Saldana to Mary-Kate Olsen, Nicole Richie to Lauren Conrad… the list just goes on and on.

Some of you may have experienced New York Fashion Week from the comfort of your couch or perhaps snagged a chance to help backstage, but you will never experience the fashion world’s most celebrated weeks of the year like this. The New York Fashion Week documentary, ‘The Tents,’ provides a full 360-view of the glamorous and not-so glamorous the fashion industry can be. While the documentary covers the creation of Fashion Week by the CFDA back in 1993, to the new IMG ownership, and to present day, it also reveals behind-the-scenes footage from fashion pioneers, designers, and prominent figures in the fashion industry—not to mention, hilarious commentary from fashion stylist and personality Robert Verdi, to the queen of simplicity and comfort, American designer Donna Karan.

Who: Emma Stone
What: Crazy, Stupid, Love premiere at New York City’s Ziegfeld Theater on July 19
Wear: Tom Ford black lace dress, gunmetal Christian Louboutin pumps, Fred Leighton earrings and ring, Salvatore Ferragmo clutch (not pictured)
Emma Stone stepped out in style for the star-studded premiere of her latest film, Crazy, Stupid, Love at Ziegfeld Theater in New York City last night. The actress (and ELLE’s July cover girl), whose career has been on fire with movies like Easy A, wore a retro-looking black lace dress from Tom Ford’s fall 2011 collection. Her modified version of the elegant frock transformed it perfectly for the red carpet and easily made others forget her young age. Stone opted for clean accessories, wearing simple Christian Louboutin gray and black pumps with chandelier earrings and a three diamond square ring. Her sideswept hair and rouge lipstick shade polished off her classic ensemble.

Ahhh summer music fests (or any live music for that matter)…there’s literally nothing better. The first thing you’ll realize about any concert with a crowd, however, is that well, there is absolutely no etiquette. It’s every man (or girl) for himself out there. Concerts can get tough, especially if you want to get as close to the stage as possible. After all, your favorite singer did stare into your eyes at last year’s venue (OK we know—the band can’t see anyone because of the lights blinding them on stage, but a girl can dream). With an upcoming rock fest in tow—Lollapalooza (Aug 5-7; check out how you and a friend can win tickets)—there’s no better time to start gearing up. Whether you are raging with Dead Mau5, moshing to Death From Above 1979, swaying along with Two Door Cinema Club, or rapping to Kid Cudi, we’ve rounded up ten show survival tips for that flawless sing-until-you-can’t-sing-anymore summer concert experience.

- We’ve become so accustomed to seeing Lady Gaga in the most ridiculous outfits that we’re not even sure if she owned any “normal” clothes. She seems hardly human: Gaga is hardly ever seen without her 10-inch backless heels, mesh catsuits, blue wig, spiky shoulders, McQueen armadillo shoes, or some other crazy concoction. The girl’s gotta own a pair of Converse at least. In our research, we’ve managed to dig up a few of Lady Gaga’s most normal outfits. Granted their weren’t many, but here’s what the Queen of Pop looks like without the crazy ensembles and makeup. These extremely random occurrences are definitely only a once-in-a-blue-moon occasion. Here she is getting out of a car wearing laced up boots and denim shirt. We love this casual yet edgy outfit choice!

Girl, the back of your head is ridiculous—and we mean that in the sincerest way possible. Texture + braids = one pretty hair party in the back (so, not a mullet). Summer shows no signs of slowing down especially at this year’s Swimwear Fashion Week. Although we adore designer Mara Hoffman and her tribally chic inspired bathing suits, we couldn’t help but be drawn to her models hair! Fishtail braids are definitely the way to go this summer. Besides keeping the summer sun off your neck, fishtail braids are so visually appealing. Follow TRESemmé stylist Elsa Canedo’s steps and you’ll have the perfect mermaid-esque hair to compliment your glistening skin.

You walk over, examine the price tag and are thrilled to see it’s cheaper than you could have ever hoped for.
