The Cheat Sheet: Tell Your Models Apart!Models are supposed to blend into the background and let the clothes grab the attention. But after yesterday’s mini-kerfuffle, in which it was discovered that some glazed-over soul at Style.com had confused photos of Chanel Iman for those of Jourdan Dunn, we were reminded that perhaps mannequins do the job a little too well and fashion insiders can’t tell the girls apart.

Anna Wintour Continues to Wear This One Prada DressThis morning in Milan, the Met’s Costume Institute held a press conference on its upcoming … oh, whatever, doesn’t matter, it’s something about superheroes. What matters is that Her Vogueness Anna Wintour attended, wearing the bright little Prada number pictured above. Cute, but is that not the exact same Prada dress she wore twice in weeks past at Armani Privé and Peter Som? Why, yes, yes, it is.

Lindsay Lohan As Marilyn Monroe: Five OuttakesIn New York Magazine’s current Spring Fashion issue, Lindsay Lohan is reborn as Marilyn Monroe, posing for photographer Bert Stern as Monroe did in 1962 for what was the last shoot before her death.

So because the shoot’s historic, beautiful, and no one is done talking about it, we’re pleased to share five outtakes that did not appear in the magazine. We’re particularly fond of the photo shown above, which might be the most Marilyn-esque of all. The new images are numbered 10 through 14, and you can find them here.
