Michelle Obama on Rodarte: "The great jazz musician Miles Davis - one of my husband's favorites - once said, 'Don't play what's there, play what's not there.' I think that is pretty much a good description of what each of you does every day: You're playing what's not there." [Vogue UK]

Looking back, Aaliyah's outfit is tragic. But, when this came out in the 90s- I would have killed for one of those tube tops!

But, in the "Your Love" video- she tries to step it up a notch with Asian-inspired styling and a 'love story' sequence. Do you like?

Thanks to WWD, we saw preview images of the line featuring- Cruella De Vil of “101 Dalmations," the Evil Queen from “Snow White,” Maleficient from “Sleeping Beauty” and Dr. Facilier from The Princess and the Frog. Although the collection doesn't drop  until September, we have some new details for you below:

“Disney gave us the colors used when these characters were drawn throughout their history,” said Jennifer Balbier, vice president of product development for MAC, noting that Cruella and the Evil Queen share more “real woman” shades, such as red lips and peachy blush. Maleficent is “pure fantasy,” said Balbier, noting that offbeat purples, blackened shades and pearlized nails were used. Dr. Facilier headlines the new Magically Cool Liquid Powders. “This is a featherlight powder that goes on like a mist and either sets or enhances foundation, but also lends dimensionality on naked skin,” said Balbier.

There will be a total of 40 bold hues in the collection, consisting of lipstick, powder, lip gloss and blush shades, ranging in price from $12 to $29.50, and divided into four collections emblazoned with the characters’ images — were inspired by Pantone reproductions of Disney’s original drawings.
