Alexander Wang Is Bringing Back An 'SNL' Favorite For His Latest Fashion Ad

As one of "Saturday Night Live's" favorite characters used to say: “You can’t have-a-da-Mango!”

But as it turns out -- now you can. On June 3, Mango, better known as SNL's sketch character brought to life by Chris Kattan, teams up with Alexander Wang for his latest collection, T by Alexander Wang. In the 26-second short below, you can see familiar hints of Mango's signature look (pink top, gold shorts, beret) while taking in all of Mango's sass.

When asked by Style.com about the reasoning behind the partnership with the "SNL" superstar, Wang explained, “Sometimes when fashion becomes too stiff, it’s great to have someone such as Mango come through and inject a new burst of energy. Having fun and a sense of humor is so important to me that when I’m able to incorporate it into my work, I run with it.”

Ralph Lauren 'furious' at the Duchess of Cambridge

Designer Ralph Lauren was said to be "furious" that the Duchess of Cambridge didn't attend his Windsor Castle gala earlier this week

"Ralph Lauren was furious when he found out less than six weeks ago that Kate would not be there," a source told the Daily Mail. "He considered pulling out but was told by his PR advisers that it would look terrible. The company thought they were getting Kate, the most famous clothes horse in the world, and also a runway show at the castle."

While the Duchess may have been a no-show (someone's got to babysit), Lauren - who didn't exactly look like a man filled with fury - did manage to draw an incredibly starry bunch to the soiree, including two other very famous clothes horse K/Cates, Moss and Blanchett, as well as the likes of Cara Delevingne and Emma Watson. Who needs the Duchess when you've got that bunch?

Chanel’s Resort 2015 collection gets Dubai Talking

Karl Lagerfeld debuted Chanel’s Resort 2015 collection on an island in Dubai.

Lagerfeld is known for courting controversy by referencing local customs in hyperbolic fashion and the Dubai Island show was no exception. There were hookahs, artificial palm trees, and what appeared to be traditional Moorish latticework—which, upon closer examination, was revealed to be comprised of the brand’s trademark interlocking Cs.

The clothing, too, nodded in an emphatically clichéd way to the Arab environs, with a great many harem pants, the Dubai skyline rendered in sequins, and crescent-moon hair adornments. 

Was this Chanel’s nod to sharia, one of the primary sources of law in the United Arab Emirates, which, according to some interpretations, requires that women in public be covered from head to toe?

Lagerfeld called the collection his “romantic, modern Orient, a new One Thousand and One Nights.” But his inspiration, as asserted by the Independent, could well be simple economics: it probably will sell in the Middle East. So long as no one was too put off by the quilted gold gas can—a purse that was an obvious acknowledgment of the Gulf’s natural resources.

“A lot of people really got offended,” said Deena Aljuhani Abdulaziz, who owns D’NA, a high-end boutique with locations in Riyadh and Doha, and attended the show. “Some people in this region were definitely not amused that he had a bag that looked like an oil dispenser. Money in the gulf comes from oil obviously, so they thought it was a bit of a Beverly Hillbillies situation.”

EXCLUSIVELY on FG10 >> A Fragrance Affair: ROBERTO CAVALLI GOLD EDITION..

To celebrate DFS Masters of Fragrances, Roberto Cavalli has designed the most exclusive version ever produced of one of its iconic fragrances, Roberto Cavalli Oud Edition. Limited to three pieces only, this work of art was inspired by the designer’s passion for gold. 

Roberto Cavalli Gold Edition blends the noblest perfumery ingredients. It opens with a sweet and luminous top note of saffron that gives way to the woody and animal tones of sensual oud wood—the gold standard in Arabic perfumery. The fragrance closes on a deep root note of incense that adds a subtle veil of mystery.

To shelter such a vibrant and addictive elixir, an ultra-luxurious flask was designed. The bottle and the crown-shaped stopper, featuring Roberto Cavalli’s initials, were entirely covered with white gold leaf by skilled craftsmen. Around the neck of this exquisite container, a mosaic made of 138 artfully cut extra-white diamonds and 121 black diamonds was set by a master jeweller in homage to Roberto Cavalli’s emblematic animal patterns. Removable, the collar becomes a precious ring that can be worn on one’s finger or on a gold chain.

This unique treasure comes with a daring minaudière case conceived by the Italian designer himself. It is crafted from gold-plated brass printed with a croco effect. The eagle-shaped tassel asserts the flamboyant majesty of this most sophisticated Baroque piece.

The bottle and its minaudière are displayed in a visually striking lockable jewel case made of rich brown and leopard printed satin.

Lottie Moss stars in first fashion shoot

Kate Moss may be celebrating turning 40 today but her little sister Lottie is celebrating the unveiling of her first modelling gig

Kate Moss's half-sister Lottie Moss has taken up her first proper modelling gig after being officially signed by Storm Models last week - and she's gone to her former almost-brother-in-law's publication to do so.

The 16-year-old stars in an editorial entitled From Lottie with Love in the latest issue of Dazed & Confused, the magazine that was set up by Jefferson Hack, Kate Moss's former partner and the father of her daughter Lila.

The shoot, which has been strategically released on the day of elder Moss's 40th birthday, took place on the streets of London with photographers Sean and Seng, both of whom couldn't have been more taken with the teen.

Katy Perry’s lip-sync performance: Awards take blame

Katy Perry’s mouth was moving, but the (correct) words were just not coming out as the pop star performed her hit single at the 15th annual NRJ music awards in Cannes on Saturday. The lip movements and the lyrics were not even close to being in sync - Perry’s mouth was a few full seconds away from the playback, creating an incredibly awkward performance.

On Tuesday, after the video of the incident went viral, the NRJ Awards shouldered the blame: “Katy Perry sang live during the NRJ Music Awards in Cannes on Saturday night, but unfortunately a bad soundtrack was accidentally launched, taking over the live performance of Katy at the beginning of the delivery tube of the Roar,” a statement read, translated from French to English by Google Translate. “TF1 and NRJ present their apologies to Katy Perry ... for this technical problem beyond our control.” Previously, Katy Perry’s reps did not respond to TheWrap’s requests for comment.

Do you fancy travelling the world as an ambassador for one of the world's biggest fashion brands à la Olivia Palermo or Alexa Chung? Yes? Then read on.

As part of a "transformational docu-series for the millennial fashionista", Diane von Furstenberg is looking for eight potential 'brand ambassadors' who will be whittled down to one worthy winner throughout the series, set to air on a major cable network next year. The successful participant will then represent the DVF brand at "cultural happenings, store opening, premier fashion events and contribute to philanthropic endeavours" all over the world.

So if you class yourself as a "millennial fashionista" and have ever looked at Chung et al and thought 'I could do that', why not apply?

Chanel marks 100 years with short film

Alongside a cast of top models, Keira Knightley plays Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel in a short film by creative director Karl Lagerfeld chronicling the opening of the Chanel boutique in 1913.

The year is 1913 and Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel - played by British actress Keira Knightley - and her aunt Adrienne (Clotilde Hesme) have just set up shop in the well-heeled holiday town of Deauville in northern France.

Coco Chanel (Knightley) fits a hat upon hard-to-please society lady played by Amanda Harlech.

At the time, Chanel primarily specialised in minimalist hats, which were a stark contrast to the over-embellished styles that were the current rage.

"She has absolutely no taste," say a pair of local maids who pass by her shop window, clearly shocked by her pared-back design aesthetic.

But slowly and surely, Chanel starts building up a clientele of strong-minded, wealthy women who know exactly what they want. Cue guest appearances from Chanel's favourite people: model Stella Tennant plays noblewoman Lady Jane Grey and has her hats shipped to England; visionary actress Eve Lavallière is brought to life by Tallulah Harlech while her mother Lady Amanda Harlech (Karl Lagerfeld's muse) is a hard-to-please society lady.

Tom Ford 'unhappy' with people's reaction on his latest collection

Tom Ford has admitted that his choice of venue was probably to blame for the mixed reviews his autumn/winter 2013 collection received.

The designer's autumn/winter 2013 show in February saw him return to the traditional catwalk format for the first time since he was creative director of Gucci. Consisting of clashing prints and colours, evening gowns garnished with sequinned, comic book-style blasts and "cross cultural multi ethnic" references, many were surprised by the departure from Ford's usually slick, sexily understated aesthetic.

"I expected a more positive reaction in a stronger way. And what I got was a sort of stunned reaction. I couldn't read [it] when people started to come backstage - what they thought. But that simple fact was proof of not getting the reaction that I thought I was going to get," Ford told WWD , before going on to admit that the reviews were "lukewarm".

So, what did he do wrong? "I think that I chose the venue inappropriately."

Said venue was Lancaster House, a mansion in London's plush St James area. Not content with its extravagant, gilded rooms that Queen Victoria was allegedly "jealous" of, Ford lined the sweeping staircase with 75 devastatingly handsome, perfectly-groomed male models all in matching Ford suits with matching haircuts. He also had dapper waiters serving Champagne, as well as ushers - and liberally spritzed all of them in his Noir fragrance.

Judge Tom Ford's autumn/winter 2013 collectionf or yourself: 

The world's most in-demand male model

As the world's most in-demand male model, David Gandy is constantly on the move.

The first thing you notice about David Gandy is that he is startlingly handsome. The second thing is that he's actually quite shy, which is endearing, and not what you'd expect from a man who shot to fame by cavorting around in unfeasibly tiny white trunks in Dolce & Gabbana's now-iconic 2007 Light Blue men's fragrance ad.

This 32-year-old from Billericay in Essex is now said to be the world's highest-paid male model, and was the only man in the line-up of British supermodels who strutted their stuff during the closing ceremony of the London Olympics. 'It was lovely to be represented,' he says. 'England isn't the best at everything, but with fashion, we are pretty much up there. We have so many iconic fashion brands, and the girls here from Kate and Naomi to Lily are the top in the world. We should shout about that.'

Gandy was born in Essex, of working-class parents who built up successful businesses, first in freight, then in property. They too are keen travellers, and used holidays as a way of educating David and his sister, Claire, who now lives in Spain. 'We've been on float-planes to see the brown bears in Alaska, we've been to see the Amazon rainforest, to the Galapagos Islands. My dad thinks he's David Attenborough II, really.'

Change your shades! Here are the NEW cult Sunglasses!

Introducing Spektre, the Italian sunglasses brand the fashion pack has hailed as their new affordable favourite.

Street style favourite Viviana Volpicella, a freelance stylist from Milan, has been championing mirror lenses of purple and blue, and chic Italians Eleonora Carisi and Giovanna Battaglia have also been parading the show grounds in high-vis pairs.

War begins over the legacy of Yves Saint Laurent

War has erupted over the screen legacy of Yves Saint Laurent after the late fashion designer's longtime partner threatened to sue the makers of a "warts-and-all" biopic, while backing another "official" film.

Tensions had been mounting between the two rival productions ahead of a release date for both films on the flamboyant bad boy of French fashion slated for release later this year.

In the red corner, Saint Laurent , a film directed by Bertrand Bonello, has received the go ahead from the owner of Yves Saint Laurent brand, François Pinault, to use the logo and dresses in his possession.

In the blue corner, Yves Saint Laurent , directed by Jalil Lespert, is a film which has the official blessing of Pierre Bergé, 82, the couturier's companion on and off from 1958 until his death in 2008 and the guardian of his creative legacy.

"Two films on YSL? I hold the moral rights over YSL's work, his image and mine and have only authorised Jalil Lespert. A trial on the cards?," threatened the multi-millionaire part-owner of Le Monde newspaper on his Twitter account.

What's the Story between Beyonce and her Sister??

Beyoncé was photographed in Cuba yesterday looking as if she'd raided her stylish little sister Solange's wardrobe.

It can't be easy being Beyoncé's sister, especially when you're also a singer. It's no surprise, then, that Solange Knowles very cleverly tapped into her killer sense of style to set herself apart.

When it comes to dressing she's admirably fearless, clashing prints and colours without batting an eyelid, mixing contemporary designers with flea market finds and, most of all, making fashion look really fun. She's won a flurry of accolades for her fashion-forward looks and an allegiance of followers too - J. Crew's Jenna Lyons loves her and she's already scored a campaign for hip label Madewell.

But it appears big sister Beyoncé has cottoned on and decided to take a leaf out of Solange's book, quite literally. Yesterday, the superstar was papped in Cuba with husband Jay-Z, and she's was looking more than a little bit like her sister. From the piled-on-top braids to the tribal prints, statements specs and masculine brogues, her look was shamelessly Solange from head to toe.

Jessica Alba: She Wears It Well

I know it looks easy, this gig. Casting around for someone who's put her clothes on the right way. How hard can it be? Well, I tell you, folks, some weeks the women of the world just don't make the effort.

Or they do and it's too flouncy or too slutty or too monochrome stripy (bored already!) or too head-to-toe designer at said designer's party.

As a woman who lives, works and gets dressed in the real world all I'm looking for is an inspiring woman who looks like she does the same. That's all. But some days, and I'll say it again, it's hard.

However, this week, in amongst the style detritus of Geri Halliwell's knee-high boots and some particularly painful red carpet numbers I found a little glint of loveliness.
