COLD FRONT: Although half the house missed it, Lady Gaga arrived at the Balenciaga show in dramatic fashion: Strutting down the catwalk to her seat as a single photographer documented her journey. Was she happy to be back on the runway? “Yes, yes — it was an honor,” she said, poured into a dress from the fall-winter 2015 collection.
Kim Kardashian has caused a firestorm in the media with her new platinum locks, a dye job she’d been plotting for some time. “It’s something I’ve always wanted to do. I was going to wait until after my second baby, but I’m not pregnant, so?” she explained. “It’s fashion week, why not?”
Jared Leto, who had worn Sorels to shows earlier in the week, explaining on Instagram that he was “still defrosting from Toronto,” had switched to sneakers.
Asked how cold it was in the Canadian city, where he’s been filming “Suicide Squad,” the actor replied: “Enough to freeze your tits off!”
And he’s not likely to be warming up soon. His band Thirty Seconds to Mars is embarking on a five-week tour in Russia. “I’ll be in cold weather for the foreseeable future,” he shrugged.
Chinese pop star Li Yuchun, also known as Chris Lee, said she’s been taking a break because of Chinese New Year and spending time with her family. Her next project is a 10th-anniveary concert in October that she noted coincides with the same milestone Balenciaga designer Alexander Wang is logging with his signature fashion house.
After the show, Lady Gaga rushed backstage to congratulate Wang on the show — “It was beautiful,” she cooed — and planned to hook up with him later at an after party. “I’m going to go get changed, or maybe not,” she mused.
