So does the name ring a bell? Chances are you've never heard of him, but many of the celebs you know and love look at Taz Arnold as a fashion guru. Rihanna wears jewelry he has designed via his private fashion label, TI$A. Legendary luggage maker MCM has tapped him to create an exclusive line of clothing which will debut in stores this month, and Kanye West has enlisted Arnold's help in the creation of his new clothing line, Pastel, which hits stores in 2009.

Barbadian beauty Rihanna is now the official face for the Gucci charity campaign as part of their association with UNICEF. RiRi has moved up in the world since her first endorsement deal, and she knows it!

Rihanna is a rock and roll hottie who is isn't afraid to bring out the heavy metal accessories, including her nail polish. The bronzey metallic she's wearing here is much more interesting and fashion forward that the predictable black that others might have chosen. If you're a modern babe like Rihanna, then you're into surprising combinations and edgy choices, and you make it work every time. To get Rihanna's metallic tips, try CoverGirl Bronze Beauty.

At first we thought maybe this was one of those crazy looks that only celebrities could pull off. But, after witnessing similar outfits in the real world, we've been pulled over to the dark side of jumpsuit shorts -- also known as jumpers, rompers or playsuits.

For years we've been choosing makeup shades that we think look good. Until My Covergirl came along. By using the interactive website and plugging in hair color, eye color, and skin tone, we got a personalized list of Cover Girl products. Being a little bit wary of the "perfect" match, we order some of the suggestions that the Beauty Consultant made. Low and behold each color transformed us into a natural beauty. We looked like ourselves – only better. Finally! Now our favorite and tip folders are full as is our Covergirl.com shopping cart.

Watch out Victoria's Secret, here comes Rihanna! Like anybody famous these days, working at what she's good at is not enough. Rihanna wants more.

We had a great weekend. We danced our butts off, sang our hearts out and probably had one too many beers at the Glow in the Dark tour in illy Philly on Saturday night. But as always, we were thinking of our dear reader's and before we went in to enjoy the likes of Rihanna, Lupe Fiasco (heart!), N.E.R.D. and the brilliant Kayne, we took a tour of tailgate heaven to see what's hot and what's not for concert gear this year.

Here is a breakdown of the ideal concert attire:

Little miss Umbrella, ella, ella, has spilled her style secrets, in case anyone's curious. We were not surprised to find out that Rihanna has had a fashion addiction since she was little. Since she's had a lot of practice, maybe that's why she is almost always a hit on the red carpet!

We love Rihanna and we were really excited to find out what keeps her looking so fantastic all the time.

Last weekend, we officially retired our trusty Blue Satin Chanel nail polish. The two of us -- nail polish and person -- went to Jamaba Juice and watched The Hills together. And we just wanted to end things on a good note. You know, before it started getting ugly.

Posh Spice, aka Victoria Beckham, came to the U.S. and started the short hair trend. Since then, anyone who's anyone has been seen with the bob, most notably Katie Holmes. But, aside from the big names, I think it's only fair that we talk about some of the lower profile ladies who have also chopped it all off in the name of fashion. Our most recent victim is Norah Jones.

One would think that after three albums under her belt, including her latest "Good Girl Gone Bad", Rihanna would have gotten a better sense of what looks hot onstage and what does not. No doubt about it, Rihanna has a fantastic body (and crazy legs) but she's showing it off in all the wrong ways. Check out her onstage outfit and marvel at the overwhelming shininess of it all. Even her legs look a little plastic.

Despite Rihanna and her stylists' best efforts, this style looks less "dangerous dominatrix" and more "Hot Topic design reject". Come on, you 19 year-old, have some fun, but stay away from the hooker boots and ill-fitting corsets.

What do you think of Rihanna's get-up?

I'm sure that this was the French people's favorite time of the year, with American actresses and rappers alike accosting the great city of Paris in the name of fashion. The season is coming to a close. So, I thought it was about time that we did a roundup of all the Hollywood celebs who hit up the City of Lights just to take in a few runway shows.

The biggest news of the week was wannabe male fashion guru Kanye West getting denied entrance to the Balenciaga Show. Of course, Kanye blogged about the subject saying, "I totally love and respect any designer that won't let me come 2 there show... it's their show... they don't owe me anything... Balenciaga is one of the illest lines right now and I don't feel any type of way about not getting in! There's always a catch 22 in being a celeb ... your motives are always questioned... but only time will show my true love MY FIRST LOVE is for fashion and I appreciate just being in a position 2 afford 2 be able 2 spend a week in Paris visiting shows...I understand that some designers don't want all that unnecessary commotion at there shows, that's what I mean by 'I get a lot of attention.'"

Yeah...could you understand that? Me neither. I'm pretty sure Kanye thinks he wasn't let in because he would bring "2" much attention to the show. Some people's egos just cannot be denied, and Kanye is amongst that elite group of people. Tell the man he's not allowed to a runway show and he thinks it's because he's too cool for it.

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, of course, were at several shows, alien'ing up the city with freaky sunglasses and tiny popsicle stick legs. There's not too much new to report in the Olsen twin department. They still dress like the richest bag ladies ever. I still have nightmares about their creepy close lipped smiles. And they're still lowering the bar for anorexics everywhere.

In other random news, Winona Ryder announced her engagement to Blake Sennett at the Valentino Show. And an Anna Wintour look alike somehow fooled enough people to get into the front row of Lanvin. Big things happened in France!

Check out the gallery below to see Winona, Kanye, Rihanna and more.

Most musicians know a good thing when they see it. And by "good thing", I mean "way to milk the cow completely bone-dry." Rihanna, riding the massive success of her single "Umbrella," is doing just that by joining forces with Totes to release her own line of -- you guessed it -- umbrellas. The Rihanna umbrellas don't look particularly different from normal umbrellas. There's a pink one with her name plastered on the side and a black one with pink frilly bits that reminds me of some of her outfits, but that's about the extent of their uniqueness. At least the line is not outrageously priced, hovering somewhere in the $18 area.

For originality's sake, I wouldn't mind seeing an umbrella that plays the "Eh eh eh eh" part of Rihanna's song every time it is opened, even though that would probably drive me insane. At least it'd be something new.

Singer Rihanna has been showcasing her new hairdo at several recent awards shows and, I must say, I approve. I dare not even attempt to count the number of celebrities that have attempted and failed to wear straight-cut bangs (see: Mena Suvari earlier this year), so congratulations are in order for Rihanna. She has a very high forehead, which could have been problematic if she had cut her bangs too short. But leaving them to just sweep slightly above the lashes is absolutely perfect, because it emphasizes those beautiful eyes of hers.

If you're looking to emulate Rihanna's new cut, remember that it takes a lot of upkeep to look good. You'll have to constantly make sure that the length of the bangs is always uniform, because that clean line is essential.
