“.@KatyPerry has THE LEG of the night! @JLo and @AngelinaJolie approve!,” tweeted celeb blogger Perez Hilton (@PerezHilton). The pop star herself admitted that she was giving a little Angelina Jolie with the gaping thigh slit in her leopard-print dress. But her exposed limb doesn’t have its own Twitter account…yet.

“Gwen Stefani has had SOOOO much work done...why can't celebs age gracefully?,” tweeted ETOnline’s editorial director Jarett Wieselman ?(@JarettSays), referring to Miley Cyrus’s knotted ‘do circa No Doubt era.

Her grown-up pin curl ‘do didn’t seem to sit well with most VMA viewers. “Love the dress on Taylor Swift but I think she could have done different hair and makeup…” fashion entrepreneur Loren Ridinger (?@lorenridinger) politely tweeted about the singer’s plunging gown and questionable locks. Hmm, maybe Taylor should get some tips from Jared Leto.

“Instant Herbal Essences commercial,” tweeted comedian Grace Helbig (@gracehelbig) when Jordan Catalano, er, Jared Leto took the stage. The 30 Seconds to Mars singer’s ombre strands caused some serious hair envy from style blogger Man Repeller (@ManRepeller): “I'm definitely taking a photo of Jared Leto to the hair salon the next time I plan to color.”

Her sedate Morticia Addams-esque look on the red carpet must be what she “wears to clean the garage,” NPR’s Linda Holmes (@nprmonkeysee) tweeted. But for her performance, Gaga channeled The Little Mermaid complete with a seashell bra. “Lady Gaga just walked back to her seat...and she's still wearing that string bikini,” reported The New York Times’s Brian Stelter (@brianstelter). Let’s hope the Barclays Center invests in anti-bacterial wipes.

The big question of the night wasn’t will they reunite, but would they resurrect their sweet 90s style? “I hope the fact that JT is wearing a hat in his pre-VMAs interview means he'll bust out the N SYNC cornrows today,” tweeted the Go Fug Yourself girls (@fuggirls). “Kirkpatrick couldn’t regrow the dreds?!?! Be a team player,” chided Helbig (@gracehelbig) during the boy band’s performance.

It's About Time! Plus-Size Show a Fashion Week First

Cabiria catwalk show features designer styles for women sized 12 to 24.

By Lesley Kennedy - September 6, 2013

A plus-size designer showed her styles at New York Fashion Week this morning, and, yes, that was a collective sigh of relief you heard from non-waifs everywhere.

But before you strip off your Spanx for good, you should probably note that Eden Miller’s Cabiria line, part of the Fashion Law Institute's spring showcase, was one of a kind.

Never mind that the average American woman wears a size 14. Today.com reports this collection is a Fashion Week first.

“I’m not going to walk in with garbage and just say, ‘Well, I’m this plus-sized designer, you better be glad I’m here,’” Miller, 41, a costume designer, tells the news site of her line featuring bold colors and prints. “I feel that my designs are strong. I like what I’m putting together. I have confidence in my eye. I also hope that it’s received in a similar fashion by those who attend and in the press.”

Cabiria (the name comes from Nights of Cabiria, a Fellini film) sizes run from 12 to 24, and Miller, a size 18-20 herself, calls being chosen to show it in front of the world’s fashion press an honor.

And while almost every model strutting down a catwalk in New York over the next few days will top out at a puny size 2, Cabiria’s inclusion sends a message to retailers, NPD Group fashion industry analyst Marshal Cohen tells the news site.

“This a really good time for designers to take advantage, because the market is absolutely starved,” he tells Today.com, noting that plus-size clothing accounts for just 14 percent of the market.

Maybe there’ll be room for Miller’s designs.

“I remember looking at her line when she came to the clinic and thinking, ‘Wow, I wish she cut clothes in my size,’ because I wear more common sizes,” Fashion Law Institute founder Susan Scafidi tells Today.com. “And immediately, I got it. I suddenly understood, looking at this line of plus-clothing, what so many curvier women feel when they look at the traditional, very narrow range of designer sizes.”

And, as long as the Cabiria presentation wasn’t “a total disaster,” Cohen says, plus-size models will be stomping down the runway soon.

“One thing about fashion, they’re not ashamed to follow success,” he tells the news site. “If somebody else did it well, they’ll come right back and do it themselves in their interpretation, in their way of selling plus-size.”

Spanx? Consider yourself on notice.
