Are you sick of hearing about the rabble protesting Mr. Moneybags? Let's check in on what the wealthy are up to. They're still going on about their business, sipping champagne, yelling at Jeeves, doing other cartoonishly generic rich people things, and buying overpriced art. For instance, someone just purchased an 18 carat-gold statue of Kate Moss contorted into an uncomfortable looking fetish, whoops YOGA, pose for $900,000. It's perfect for the person who has everything.

There were lots of surprises at today's Louis Vuitton runway show. First, instead of veering toward shock-value styling (who can forget last season's fetish-happy spectacle?), creative director Marc Jacobs went sugary-sweet. This collection was ultra girly, and filled with lace, pastel eyelets, floral motifs, and tiaras. The show featured a fantasy carnival theme, complete with a massive carousel with designated white horses for all 48 models. One of those models was none other than newlywed Kate Moss, who specifically requested to participate in the show.

The only thing Kate Middleton and Kate Moss have in common is that they're both English and have the same initials (Middleton's name is really Catherine, but still). Otherwise, they're on opposite sides of the royal spectrum. While Moss might not actually hold a noble title, she's definitely the queen of fashion and, if her musician exes have anything to do with it, rock 'n' roll, too. That's why she's pulling all the stops for her $800,000 wedding to the Kills' Jamie Hince. Styleite has rounded up all the nuptial details, from the guests (John Galliano and Jagger) to the food and beverages (bbq and vodka). Read on for the highlights.

I had just noticed Kate Moss in Vogue Paris looking punky in (temporary) red locks, and was flipping through Lara Stone's editorial "Wild!!!!" in Vogue China, where the gap-toothed one is also sporting a new red 'do. Days later, Blake Lively washed away her Cali blond in favor of rouge. Then the redhead floodgates really opened up. Have a look:
