Lady Gaga Au Naturel by Inez & Vindooh For Her You & I Music Video and Harper's Bazaar.

We are so used to seeing Lady Gaga in outrageous outfits, accessories and make-up, or as her alter ego Jo Calderone, that her look gracing the cover of the October issue of Harper's Bazaar is a refreshing change.

Images from the editorial:




Dutch photography and directorial duo Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin shot her on the set of her You and I video (shown below). In both the video and the editorial, the music star is showing her little monsters a side of her not often seen. Wearing a custom-made dress by Hussein Chalayan, she sports an unmade-up look on the cover, the inside editorial and in the video.

Although not actually make-up free, Lady Gaga's no-makeup look is made with Studio Sculpt SPF 15 Foundation ($29.15), Prep + Prime Highlighter ($23), Brow Gel ($15) and Prep + Prime Lash ($15). All from M.A.C.

UPDATED AGAIN*: Kate Goes With Sarah Burton For Alexander McQueen With Cartier Tiara & Matching Earrings.

*UPDATED PICS now include the cakes, the reception dresses, the ugliest hat and more.

The dress was by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. She donned the Cartier “halo” tiara, which was made in 1936 and given to the Queen as an 18th birthday present. And she's got the wave down cold.



Her earrings were custom-made by Robinson Pelham to match her tiara and were a present from her parents. Kate's wedding ring, which seemed to have given William a bit of difficulty in the slipping on, is a band of Welsh gold by Wartski.

The earrings made to match the tiara by Robinson Pelham:


No doubt, Kate Middleton, now being referred to as "Catherine," looked every bit like Royalty as she walked down the aisle.





People keep comparing Kate's dress to that of Princess Grace's, but they really were quite different except for the lace long sleeves:

And, of course, the kiss:
