ElleGirl- Whether they’re soaring through the sky or scaling tall buildings, superheroes satiate our thirst for adventure, special abilities, and mass popularity. We might not have super powers or spend our Friday nights fighting crime, but we understand their need to look the part (awesome) while doing it. Masked, armored, or aerodynamically amped, these caped crusaders have shape-shifted themselves into sartorial icons that have inspired many designers. Take a look at these fact vs. fiction similarities and tell us which is dynamic duo is your favorite!

Amber.Stardoll- Hugh Jackman is probably the hottest man alive! We saw flaunt his hot bod in "X-Men" and we witnessed his charming side in "The Prestige," we just think he's so great! We love his smile and his Australian accent, he's just so perfect and dreamy! Siiiigh.

Things that happened at Marc Jacobs’ spring show last night:
1. It started two minutes early, at 8:28PM, and lasted 7 minutes. So when Courtney Love showed up at 8:47PM, there wasn’t a sequin in sight.
2. Only one Fanning sat front row, Dakota, but she was accompanied by Sofia Coppola and Kim Gordon. Also, Michael Pitt crawled up to the top of the stands to watch his girlfriend, Jamie Bochert, walk the show.
3. When the show did start, a thick gold curtain slowly opened to reveal the models draped across seats a la A Chorus Line. Like last spring’s show, all the looks were immediately revealed.
4. Marc sat behind his girls, to the left, and counted out the beat as they rose one by one to walk the wooden runway.
5. Each model walked just once, with no finale. There were beaded dresses, plastic wrapped skirts, thigh high stockings, silver jackets, seafoam green sweatshirts and ladylike suits. Metallic Mary Janes were cute, though the bags weren’t the best we’ve seen from Marc.
6. Marc Jacobs took a bow in what looked like Hard Tail pants.
7. The Dior gossip immediately commenced. Jacobs’ collection was elegant, detailed and, despite the dance-hall stage, sometimes French.
Next stop, couture?

- While they may have perfect hair on the red carpet or in photo shoots, not every celeb is born with the thick, shiny locks! In fact, most celebs dye their hair, get extensions, and regularly go for blow outs! The salon experience is just part of an A Lister's daily routine! We see Lindsay Lohan at the salon almost every other week and it seems like Kim Kardashian is always getting her hair dyed one shade lighter or one shade darker! Click on the pics to see our favorite celebs at the salon!

- Their names may all start with the same letter, K, but Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall, and Kylie are all sooo different from one another! We love the whole Kardashian fam, but we can't decide which sister is our fave!
Kim is the biggest diva and is probably the most well known Kardashian. Kourtney is so small and cute, she's the momma of the whole group! Khloe is pretty crazy and always speaks her mind. We think that Kendall is plotting to take over as "the diva" after Kim. And while little Kylie has modeled a bit, she seems more focused on school and being "normal." Do you have a favorite sister? Click on the pics and vote for your fave!

- Dogs are man's best friend, and there's no exception when you're a celebrity! Some celebs take it to the extreme and completely spoil their pups! Celebs like Paris Hilton love to dress up their dogs in couture and carry them around in Louis Vuitton! Check out the top seven most spoiled pets in Hollywood!

- Just like us, celebs get tired of putting in their contacts each morning or trying to locate their glasses! Plus, celebs can't wear glasses in all of their photo shoots or movies, so laser eye surgery is the obvious choice! We think it'd be totally scary to have a laser on our eyes, but these celebs are brave and for their courage we get to see their beautiful eyes! Click on the pics to check out these six celebs who've gone under the laser!

Wet hair has been an emerging beauty trend for spring ’12 (call it the Hurricane Irene effect), but that wasn’t the reason for Sky Ferreira’s damp tresses at the Alexander Wang after-party. “No Jello shots for me,” she said of the frat-themed fete. “But I did get water poured on my head by Tyler, the Creator. It burned a little bit, but it was fun.” The musician-slash-model has been busy—“right now I’m just working on my album,” Ferreira said from the front row at Jeremy Scott—but she’s found time to see the collections of her favorite designers. “I only go to shows that I’m a fan of, that I like the clothes,” she noted (among the ones that made the cut were Scott as well as Theyskens‘ Theory). On the other hand, British singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding—who was seated next to Ferreira—has been going to shows on the recommendation of her stylist. With appearances at Scott, Betsey Johnson, and Charlotte Ronson, Goulding admitted that she has been making a mental list of clothing she’d like to wear while performing. She added, however, that she’d ultimately love to be doing the designing herself: “I would definitely [start a label]. I see other people wearing stuff that helps them onstage, because it’s not easy to run around and sing and dance and still wear something really amazing. So, it’s finding that kind of outfit, really.” Ultimately, it wasn’t the established designers who wowed Goulding; the stand-out of her New York Fashion Week “was the ELLE [Fashion Next] show, because I saw some incredible stuff. I was just really inspired. Even though I’m a musician, it’s so good to see such amazing talent. Like, a dress made out of human hair? Amazing!”

Growing up, turtlenecks were a winter wardrobe affliction—a parental stipulation that was almost always uncomfortable and hot. So imagine our surprise when these pesky neck ringers started popping up on fall’s runways, sending a torturous off-season message: We’re Back. Cathy Horyn named the style one of this season’s five must-haves, and J.Crew’s littered their catalog with colorful versions. And now, based on the spring runways we’ve seen thus far, the turtleneck appears to be in it for the long haul. But the question is, will you still want to wear them when the sun comes back? A handful of New York’s darling’s included turtlenecks in their shows, some girly, some androgynous, and others meant for a sort of refined hipster. Alexander Wang’s interpretation was ultra-violet with Aztec detailing while Joseph Altuzarra’s chartreuse croptop looked destined for Lara Croft in Tomb Raver. Rachel Comey was beach-bound on an alternative vacation—her intarsia knit was paired with a bikini bottom and sand-friendly straw accessories. Jill Stuart’s was the most girly. Her rainbow color blocked option, peeping out from underneath a gold lurex jacket with hotpants , but with shorts that short it’s probably just best to conceal your neck. Maybe that’s what this trend is all about—an antidote to summer’s uncontrollable amount of nakedness? In that case, job well done.

- We spotted celebrity model, Tyra Banks, in a very cute LBD! We especially liked the pop of orange on her sleeves and her bracelet! Orange is THE color of the season and if it's too much for you to wear an orange shirt, dress, or pants, stock up on fun orange accessories! A pair of hot heels, a bold ring, or a chunky bracelet!
