A stunning visual moment as always, provided by Beyonce this morning during her performance in Central Park. More on the flip via Celebuzz.

Lykke Li  is presently in New York, at Webster Hall, with tonight’s sold out peformance the second of two nights (that’s her above from last night). And you know what, New Yorkers? She’s also doing Summer Stage on August 1st, though make note, it’s not a free event. Tomorrow, she’s off to Boston, and then the Windy City, aka Chicago.

One more image on the next page–interesting that she’s doing the whole bodysuit thing….albeit a bit more subdued than some of her music-industry peers.

Kelis is on the road, hustling her single and last night she made an appearance at Santos House in New York City. Clearly lace is having a high moment in the fashion world, as we saw Lady GaGa in a white lace outfit performing in Tokyo recently, and if you look at our most popular posts, a pair of lace stilletos by Coppelia Pique has had held the top spot for months.

More WireImages of Kelis after the flip. Check out her shoe game and tell us if you know the label!

I posted an image from Lily Allen’s Bust magazine photo shoot yesterday and commented that she looked “sort of hot, right?” I used the qualifier “sort of,” to be honest, ’cause I’ve always seen Lily as being adorable, but in a very girlish sort of way. Seeing her as sexy almost seems, I don’t know, wrong! But clearly Ms. Allen, who is shown here at a recent London performance, is showing a more mature side lately, going from vampy fun girl to grown-ass vixen right before our very eyes!  P.S. I love the distressed denim track shorts she’s wearing in these images! P.S.S. In the images after the flip, she’s wearing a cropped leather jacket, which you can buy a similar facsimile (it’s faux leather) from Urban for probably a lot less than Lily paid.

WWD released some sketches of the costumes Thierry Mugler is working on for Beyonce’s upcoming world concert. No doubt it will be a very polished and tight set of looks. That being said, I for one will half miss Beyonce’s Mom’s doing the fashion direction. Granted she’s often over the top and too informed by her Southern-Belle-trashy-prom-queen sensibilities, but at the very least she’s entertertaining and more likely to inspire comment than anything an experienced, top designer creates. I mean, Mugler is talking about this collection being about the “duality between being a woman and a warrior,” and I’m like, okay really? And that theme aint worn out like an old man’s suit??

I’m in JFK, trying to catch a flight (I’m on standby) to Las Vegas and I have enough time to throw up these images of M.I.A. They’re from a Flickr account and they were taken in June, but that’s about all I can provide info-wise right now.

One more image backstage…
