Party Lines: Joseph Altuzarra, Natasha Bedingfield, Rachel Roy, and More at the Clarins Million Meals Concert

The Clarins Million Meals Concert for FEED, held on Wednesday at Lincoln Center, raised money for food provided in schools. Of her own cafeteria days, Lauren Bush-Lauren recalled, "I’m a vegetarian so I always brought my own little lunch. I'm sure I was a little awkward." Joseph Altuzarra admitted that he was a picky eater as child, but going to school in Paris, he always had great food. Meanwhile, Jeff Gordon never bothered to go to his school's cafeteria. "I was too busy breakdancing."

Andrej Pejic Skirted the Issue

Along with lots of other très chic scenesters, Andrej Pejic attended the opening party for Patricia Field's new NYC boutique last night. He wore a black blouse with sheer sleeves, gladiator sandals, and a very short and very shiny gold skirt.

Androgyny be damned, is it really fair for Andrej to look this good in a mini?

You Are the Fourth Top Model Judge, Not Bryanboy

In a message uploaded to YouTube yesterday, Tyra tells the camera, "I'm on the set of America's Next Top Model, and I just finished a judging, and it was a very dramatic judging. I just want you to know that your comments and videos are so important. You are the fourth judge! Yes, you guys are voting and it's been amazing," referring to next season's audience participation component. She cuts to footage from an upcoming episode, which features a veiled Bryanboy — who isn't seated with judges Kelly Cutrone and Rob Evans — but is instead doing crowd control of sorts for the social media fans. In one video submission, a shaggy-haired gentleman opines, "[This contestant's] heads and shoulders above the rest. I think she's the only one that has a contemporary fashion look," while his girlfriend is more interested in the Popsicle that she's eating. "Said over a Popsicle," Tyra remarks. Yes, these are the people still watching your show.

See Queen Elizabeth With Corgis, a Panda, Elephants, and Other Animals

It's a well-known fact that members of the stiff-lipped British upper class only display affection (like touching or smiling warmly) upon animals. In most cases, this means dogs and horses, but for Queen Elizabeth II, there's a whole kingdom of creatures to dote on. As you'll see in our slideshow, many of her royal duties over the years have involved interactions with various beasts — ponies and corgis, of course, but also elephants, a panda, a duck, a ferret, several goats, and one unfortunate tiger (blame Prince Philip). In celebration of this weekend's Diamond Jubilee festivities, enjoy these photos of Her Majesty in various states of joy and/or bewilderment as she mingles with her animal subjects. 

Macy’s Wants to Be Your Source for Celebrity Fragrances

In order to reel in millennial customers (teens and twentysomethings alike), Macy's is focusing heavily on celebrity-backed fragrances, which — as we well know — are a great way to ensure that hoards of tourists will beat down your doors. These customers aren't just perfume-shopping either; numbers show that customers who come in to buy the celebrity scents also purchase other things. The store hopes for similar boosts when they host splashy launch events for new fragrances from Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj this fall.

Anna Wintour Doesn’t Mind If You Wear Jeans to a Vogue Interview, Apparently

Vogue fashion writer Chioma Nnadi had barely any notice for her first interview with Anna Wintour. "The good thing was I wasn’t nervous because I had no time to prepare," she tells Garance Doré. "They called me and said can you come in this afternoon and it was a Friday and I was wearing jeans. And I said, 'Well I’m wearing jeans … ' and they asked that I came in anyway. So I ran and bought shoes because I was wearing really ratty shoes. They were cheap shoes but at least they were new looking." Evidently, the jeans weren't a deal-breaker.

Two Fancy Hats Rented by Kate Middleton Now Up for Sale at Auction

Before becoming arguably one of the most influential figures in the world of outlandish millinery (Hat Person of the Year, even) Kate Middleton was just your average upper-middle-class girl renting silly fascinators for the odd formal event here and there, because you can obviously never be caught wearing the same flamingo hat twice. Two of those hats, worn here and here, are now up for auction and expected to raise at least $2,000 each — as the Daily Mail notes, crazed Kate fans could well push the bidding much higher.
