Lady Gaga's 'flying dress' and more glamour news!
Want to know what's happening in the world of glitz and glamour? In our weekly fashion round-up, we bring you the latest on supermodels, style, designers and everything in-between!
Which Hollywood movie star refuses to go on a diet?
Which singer has posted a super hot bikini picture of herself on Instagram?
And which model is all set to star in the Entourage flick?
All this and more glamour news from around the world.
We start out with Lady Gaga who has revealed a high-tech, white vehicle, which she bills as the world's first flying dress, at a launch party for her new album at Brooklyn Navy Yard.
The battery-powered dress has six booms in a hex formation.
The 27-year-old singer, who calls the dress Volantis, said that it maybe a small step for the dress but a big time step for herself, the New York Post reported.
The Applause hitmaker explained that it's essentially a vehicle.
She further added that the dress is essentially a metaphor for her, as she will be a vehicle for the youth's voices.
Wearing a black leotard and helmet, she donned the dress, controlled by a technician whom she referred to as pilot, and lifted off the warehouse pavement.
While on Lady Gaga, the popstar has slammed a photoshopped cover pic of herself at Glamour magazine's annual Women of the Year party.
The 'Poker Face' hitmaker while accepting an award at the event said that she felt her skin looked too perfect, her hair looked too soft and that she doesn't look like that when she wakes up in the morning, Stuff.co.nz reported.
Gaga also urged the girls to "fight back against the forces that say one has to be beautiful" and called for the publications themselves to change.
She added that it is fair to write about the change in magazines. But what she wants to see is the change on the cover, because when the covers change, that''s when culture changes.

Happiness is a choice we make: Miranda Kerr
Supermodel Miranda Kerr feels that happiness can be achieved by being positive and taking things in good spirit.
The 30-year-old model, who recently split from husband Orlando Bloom, 36, said joy can come from not thinking about the negativity, reported Us Magazine.
"If I'm having a challenging moment, I jump for joy. Literally. After a minute, I feel better, and after a few minutes, I'm really happy," Kerr said.
"Everything else just drops off. It gets me out of my head and into my body, and it makes me feel present," she added.
But Kerr understands that being optimistic is not easy.
"Happiness is a choice we make. You can wake up and say, 'Oh, I can't believe it's so cold,' or you can say, 'Oh, wow,
this is a great opportunity for me to try out my new sweater'," she said.
"No one can be consistently positive, but why not make the choice that makes you feel better rather than the one that drags you down?," she added.

Minor plastic surgery is OK: Michelle Pfeiffer
Batman Returns star Michelle Pfeiffer is open to cosmetic procedures, if they seem inconspicuous.
The 55-year-old actress said that plastic surgery seems a fine option as long as the skin does not show that it has undergone a procedure, reported Contactmusic.
"It's OK that I don't look 30 or 40 any more. It's OK with me, it's enough for me. Would I like to look 30 or 40? Well, yeah! But, you know? We all get here eventually," Pfeiffer said.
"If I thought it would look better, I would have (plastic surgery). I'm all about, 'Do it so you can't tell it's been done.' You know what? I'm good with that. But I think people just want more and more until eventually that strange body effect happens," she said.
