Lady Gaga's upcoming HBO special airs on May 7, but a preview has been released, and it's all feeling so familiar. A confident pop star who walks around in eccentric clothes? It's all filmed in black and white? Now where have we seen that before? In this clip, Gaga talks about her life as a superstar, living the dream, and the birth of the little monsters. All while drinking coffee in Chanel sunglasses!

Swag Attacks Hit Tribeca

Tribeca Film Festival x WILL Tote Bag
View Gallery

The De Niro/Trump sparring match isn't the only thing moviegoers are gossiping about on the red carpet this week. As the Tribeca Film Festival wraps up its annual brouhaha, Chic reflects on one of the most talked about aspects of the event--the swag bag. This year, TFF partnered with WILL Leather Goods to create a limited-edition festival tote, loosely based on their signature canvas carry-all. Tinseltown's finest flocked to WILL's Mondrian Hotel hangout to snag the freebie--and call dibs on covetable goodies from reversible suspenders to tartan laptop bags. Notable EICs scooped up all things Navajo-inspired. Jennifer Aniston, who was absent for the screenings, phoned in her order. The Bang Bang Club's Ryan Phillipe took home the tobacco Lennon backpack, and wasn't shy about grabbing handfuls of skinny ID bracelets and braided leather cuffs on his way out. Detachment's Adrian Brody opted for a sleek olive messenger while Oprah's sidekick, Gayle King, went rugged with the Liverpool utility tote in loden.

These days, your Chic is fixated on three things: UsWeekly fashion director Sasha Charnin Morrison, Sasha Charnin Morrison's legendary shoe collection, and Sasha Charnin Morrison's new book, Secrets of Stylists: An Insider's Guide to Styling the Stars. The latter thing we can't stop staring at, probably due to all the celebs-through-the-ages pix. The middle thing, we are now exploring in detail with a new column, in which SCM shares her shoes. Her new Chic column does need a name, but until we come up with something right (leave your ideas in the comments!)...it's just Loub du Jour. See why in the Gallery.

This is my foot in the Killer Lady Peep Loub. ( I know these have a sick-er name, like Fern.) I needed a 6.5" incher today for a Nightline segment featuring 6.5" inchers. Easy to walk on carpets but hellish on subways, sidewalks, escalators, city life. Walk to school? No. Walk the dog? No! Painful? No. The platform saved me, but I will admit that at 8:30 a.m., everything feels OK. Talk to me at Miller time.

Karl Says the Darndest Things

"I'm living my memoir."

W scored thirty minutes with Karl Lagerfeld, and per usual the Kaiser provides the world with such soundbites that can only come from one homme. 

On eating ice cream: "I would love to if I was allowed to eat sugar, but my doctor told me that sugar wasn’t needed for me so I haven’t touched it in ten years. I also did the ad for Dom Pérignon and I don’t drink alcohol, but I think it’s a very civilized drink."

On vacations: "I’m not an employee who goes to the office every morning at the same time. Then, vacations are needed. I’m like a rock singer with one-night stands on the road."'

On management: "I don’t do meetings. At Chanel, there are no meetings. At Chanel, we do what we want, whenever we want and it works. And Fendi is the same."

On faxing: "There are people who only have a fax because of me."

On the chances that he'll write an autobiography: "I’m living my memoir, I don’t need to write it." 

On what not to wear: "I’m not mad for thongs."

On the last time he cried: "I’m trying to think of the last time I had onions."
