Fashion Week NYC: Cyndi Lauper Sings, Adam Lambert Debuts Silver Hair


The end of New York Fashion Week is near, and the Tuesday (Sept. 11) shows brought an exciting array of Lady Gaga-worthy fashions and hip '80s pop looks that prove girls still just want to have fun. Read on to see which musicians scoped out the Betsey Johnson show, who debuted a new single at the ELLE and Style 360 show, and which "American Idol" alum dyed his hair silver.

Betsey Johnson

Timeless diva and '80s icon Cyndi Lauper performed her hit girl-powered tracks at the Betsey Johnson runway show Tuesday, rocking a black tulle Johnson creation as she frolicked around a glittery black and pink stage. "I've been a Betsey fan since 1980," Lauper told the crowd before performing "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and "She Bop." "So this is for you, Betsey!"

The show, a retrospective of Johnson's 40-year career, was also special because the designer was celebrating her 70th birthday! DJ Jon Jon Battles was spinning a mix of hip-hop tunes as Johnson's most flamboyant and creative deigns from the past and present marched down the catwalk. She ended the show with one of her signature cartwheels as 50 Cent's "In da Club" blasted through the tent.

Lil Kim joined in the celebration, looking onto the runway party from the front row. She was wearing a black, blue, purple and green striped Betsey Johnson dress, layered under an electric green corset and paired with blue pumps.

Tory Burch

"King of the Bongo" by Manu Chao set the mood for a relaxed, light and feminine collection at Tory Burch. The radiant spring fashions included sunflower yellow dresses and fitted jackets. A modern take on classic American sportswear, Burch's collection featured unique, tie-dyed patterns created by women in Guinea.

Fashion's favorite hip-hop artist, Theophilus London, sat front row as models took to the runway in Burch's cheerful collection. "I really loved this collection and the ambient sound that played," London told Billboard. The rapper rocked a pair of black trousers with a white lettering print, distressed leather jacket, green cap, shades and a pair of Kanye's Nike Air Yeezy's.

The Blonds

A '60s Barbie-inspired S&M fantasy was created at the Blonds' 2013 spring show. Models clad in Gaga-worthy red and pink graphic jumpers, 3D flower power bustiers, patent leather jackets, and Priscilla Presley-inspired blonde wigs strutted down the catwalk to an ambient pop-infused sound. One of the best looks from the avant-garde line was a glittering white swimsuit with a graphic lipstick print over it. Although a male modeled this, we would love to see Lady Gaga stun in the sparkling bottoms with a black corset and a pair of nude heals!
