Can it be true? Kim Kardashian tells Katie Couric she doesn’t feel as sexy as ‘everyone thinks’ -- although she admits that being a global sex symbol is powerful. More to the point for All the Rage, the woman who’s been lighting up magazine covers (including Glamour’s February ‘Guy Issue’) and launching new products for lo these many months says she has trouble figuring out what to wear in the morning. Kim, welcome to our world! [People]
It was bound to happen sooner or later: Princes William and Harry have made British GQ’s annual best-dressed list. Younger bro Harry (No. 5) beat out William (No. 27) on the list of 50 sartorially splendid men, which includes some other British names well known in the U.S., such as David Beckham and his 8-year-old son, Romeo; Simon Cowell; Sir Elton John; and Bill Nighy. Actor Aaron Johnson topped the list, pushing last year’s No. 1, Robert Pattinson, to fourth. Meanwhile, taking top ‘honors’ on the magazine’s list of the worst dressed? Mel Gibson. [Telegraph]
What a global economy we live in. Japanese cosmetics firm Shiseido has inked a deal with Italian opera company La Scala. [WWD] Swiss watchmaker Tag Heuer has opened its first store in France, on Paris’ Boulevard Saint-Germain. [WWD] We’ve told you before that Brazil was a place to watch, and an influx of luxury brands -- including Chanel, Christian Louboutin and Marc Jacobs -- over the last two years has proven the point.

Wearing the longer skirts that are sweeping onto the scene can be challenging if you want to avoid looking like a granny. But mixing in the right complementary pieces -- a short jacket or long sweater -- and accessories -- booties, for instance -- will bring the look right up to 2011. [FabSugar]
One of Lady Gaga’s late-2010 ‘fashion statements’ seemed to be the bare bottom. She was photographed numerous places wearing nothing -- or not much -- on her bottom half. Now we know why: The giant tease was for her forthcoming ‘Born This Way’ album, which will reportedly feature a photo of a bottomless Lady G on the cover. [ShowStudio]
Speaking of album art and fashion: The white suit John Lennon wore on the cover of ‘Abbey Road’ has reportedly sold at auction in Connecticut for $46,000. [Huffington Post]
