Cher, singer Love, a platinum blond Christina Aguilera and the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ frontman Anthony Kiedis took in the Los Angeles runway debut of London-based lingerie line Agent Provocateur on Monday night. Read more!

Shaunya Hartley a stylist who has worked with singers Lauryn Hill and Usher, said designers ignored hip-hop fashion at first, but have tapped into the trend more than ever this season.
