VIDEO: Tom Ford's Womenswear Runway Presentation Featuring Beyonce, Chanel Iman, Joan Smalls, Liya Kibede and more





Tom Ford left no stone unturned in his quest to keep his fashion show under wraps. As I reported in September, he invited one photographer (the great Terri Richardson) and few journalists despite the megastars like Beyonce who walked in his show. His reasoning? He simply doesn't care for the "instant gratification" that comes from today's digital media platforms.









That didn't stop us, of course. Images of his first-ever womenswear collection hit the web and were soon followed by a shot of Beyonce wearing a sparkling gold dress and wild blonde curls. Now, video of the presentation has made its way online.



Turns out the seventies-inspired line of fitted dresses, playful prints and traces of menswear look even better in motion. Check out Beyonce, Liya Kebede, Julianne Moore, Joan Smalls, Chanel Iman and more storming the catwalk below.













What do you think of the show?

Kim Kardashian's Music Video Looks Channel Bo Derek and Lil' Kim: Call the Glambulance





Don't say we didn't warn you! Kim Kardashian who created quite the buzz appearing naked in 2010 has a new publicity stunt for 2011: singing.





Much like Kim Zolciak, she's enlisted superproducers (The-Dream) and autotune to force a singing career (listen to the song below).





Kim's voice is pretty dreadful. But one iTunes session listening to Cassie and Rihanna's body of work, and you can ascertain that you don't need a voice these days to sell records.



Just a great beat, a party track and autotune (optional). Oh and a beautiful face and body to distract us from your singing in music videos.



Her latest twitpics prove that Kim is aiming to do just that. The, err, singer tweeted stills that show her rocking "Bo Derek"-inspired braids (her words, not mine) and a Lil Kim or Nicki Minaj moment with red lips and red-tipped bangs.















Yikes. She is gorgeous, but these looks don't do it for me. Also, Kanye West is reportedly her leading man.





She debuted her song during the New Year's Eve party she hosted at Tao in Vegas.









Watch a raw video of her song below.













What do you think, Glamazons? Are the looks, and song, Glam or Sham? Or a total Glambulance moment?
