Chic is particularly taken with this cuff, with fluid lines, courtesy of Hadid, and plenty of sparkle, courtesy of Swarovski.

Who knew Francisco could go Gaga? Lady Gaga arrived at the Rainforest Fund’s 21st Birthday Celebration last night at Carnegie Hall dressed in none other than custom Calvin Klein Collection, for both her arrival and performance. She wore a long-sleeved silk taffeta black gown for the red carpet and then slipped into a white dress over a tulle-shell bustier and a knit hooded bodysuit for the performance. A single costume change for Gaga? Inconceivable!

Oh, Meatpacking District! A loft space on West 14th Street provided an apt venue for last night's launch of Belvedere Pink Grapefruit, where models in roller skates mingled alongside Ashley Olsen, Bar Refaeli, and Chelsea Handler. Over 1,000 guests hit the pop-up store---most, if not all, sipping on the new bev---as the Misshapes spun wildly in the corner. Matthew Williamson, who collaborated with the brand, even created a custom caftan for the event.  And rumor has it another Belve party will be hosted tonight---for those of vous to score the coveted invites.

He may have made a name for himself as a slightly voyeuristic photographer of homes and offices (belonging to the likes of Stefano Tonchi, Julia Restoin Roitfeld, Swaim and Christina Hutson, and Erin Wasson, to name just a few), but Todd Selby has scored himself a new seriously chic assignment: Louis Vuitton campaign photog. The Selby (as he's called) shot Ruben Toledo (above), Andre Balazs, Waris Ahluwalia, and more in New York, Shanghai, London, and Tokyo for "The Journey of a Man’s Wardrobe.”

Here at Chic we are inexplicably fascinated by these tiny, colorful blobs from the minds at Korean company DesignMAXX. The miniature silicone spheres, titled Your Pebbles, are stackable and hollow on the inside. But what’s the purpose, you ask? To prop up your electronics, of course! They also can hold little desk trinkets like paperclips, or erasers, or…pennies. We’re sold.
