Raf Simons has ensured that all the hype surrounding his 2012 debut as creative director at Christian Dior spills over into the New Year by revealing his very first campaign for the brand.

Carly Rae Jepsen’s Long Underwear Trick: Carly Rae Jepsen used a bit of wardrobe intuition for her on-air New Year’s Eve performance. At first it seemed that the “Call Me Maybe” singer, who was stationed in the near-freezing Times Square for an appearance on New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest, was simply dressed in a maxi skirt and crop top. But beating the bitter cold, she tweeted, “Had a blast performing in Times Square! Nobody knew I had long johns under my skirt…till now;)” [The Cut]

Kim Kardashian’s First Maternity Outfit: Did you really think that Kim Kardashian would suddenly dress in mumus for a entire nine-month pregnancy? Negative. The lead Kardashian debuted her very first maternity look on New Year’s Eve and true to form, it’s tight and sparkly. She posted a photo of the cleavage-baring ensemble on Tumblr along with a sweet little note. “It’s true!! Kanye and I are expecting a baby. We feel so blessed and lucky…” [Racked]

Seemingly accomplishing what Congress cannot, haute divorcés Tory and Chris Burch have reached a settlement in time for the new year. “Battle of the Burches” as the press coined their very public legal dispute, is now officially over, reports WWD. The exes’ legal woes began earlier this year when Chris sued Tory in October, claiming that her company’s board members had blocked him from selling his large stake in her fashion house (which Tory established with a large investment from her then-husband in 2004). Tory then waged her own suit against Chris, contending his claims and declaring much of the merchandise at his new chain C. Wonder as a “copycat” of her own designs. Lengthy features in Vanity Fair, WWD, and even an on-air piece on Rock Center soon followed, stirring up one of fashion’s biggest feuds in 2012.

But now the once couple have settled out of court. And though their settlement terms are confidential, Tory Burch LLC has announced two new minority investors in the company. Capital Partners LLC and General Atlantic LLC have presumably purchased a portion of Chris Burch’s stake in the brand. It’s not been announced what Chris’s new investment weighs in at (pre-settlement both he and Tory each owned a 28.3% company stake), though Chris has confirmed that he’s still a “significant investor” in Tory’s brand, telling WWD that he’s “confident” in the company’s “continued success.” Tory Burch did not offer comment on her ex-husband, but of her new investors she said, “They are completely aligned with our long-term approach to building our brand and share our vision for growth globally.” Best wishes for the new year, Burches!

The differences between Apple and PC users often inspire heated debates between both sides. This summer it was even revealed that searches on Orbitz reportedly steer Mac users towards more expensive hotel reservations than those booking with a PC. But now comes hardened evidence about the Mac user’s demographics—female Mac users to be specific. Silicon Valley company BlueStacks combined recent Nielsen statistics with their own research compiled from their 1.1 million Facebook fans, yielding some pretty interesting results about Apple’s girlier fans. It seems that these ladies have a pretty distinct sense of style, creating an image that The Next Web calls, “pretty hot, if awkwardly dressed.”

Among the fashion-related findings are:

Patricia Field’s Madonna Feud: Famed costume designer Patricia Field has accused Madonna of stealing one of her designs. Field, who operates a store in New York’s East Village, sells a baseball hat emblazoned with ‘Vogue’ in block lettering. Yesterday, her company’s Tumblr posted an entry titled “Madonna stole our Vogue Hats!!,” detailing a similar “Vogue” hat that Madge is selling as merchandise on her MDNA tour. [HuffPo]

Herbal Essences Brings Back the 90s: Hair care brand Herbal Essences is getting back to its roots, so to speak. The drug store purveyor is feeling the same sense of 90s nostalgia that’s taken hold of the fashion industry by reissuing their classic ‘smooth’ and ‘shine’ botanical collections that were discontinued in 2006. The product, its packaging, and inimitable scents are all the same, save an updated sulfate and silicone-free formula to keep up with current beauty trends. It’s meant to “re-create the impact of the original campaign that resonated so strongly with women in the Nineties but with a modern sensibility,” says Walter Geiger, the company’s vice president.

Taylor Swift’s Bargain Frock: Despite all of Taylor Swift’s wealth, a bomb bank account hasn’t stopped the singer from shopping the high street. Swift was spotted out with One Direction beau Harry Styles wearing a hummingbird-print dress by online retailer ASOS—and it only cost $44! [Daily Mail]

Nicki Minaj’s Weird Christmas Outfit: Leave it to Nicki Minaj to wear something bizarre on Christmas. The rapper turned up to a special performance at NYC’s Webster Hall in a cleavage-baring black onesie, complete with space-age shoulder panels. [HuffPo]

President Obama’s Christmas Day Outfit Disaster: President Obama made a really awkward wardrobe choice yesterday while vacationing in Hawaii. Appearing at the Marine Corps Base Hawaii for Christmas dinner (with a chic FLOTUS by his side) the President wore a short-sleeved oversized turquoise collared shirt, which he tucked into a pair of pleated khakis—his voluminous top draping over the waistline of his pants. May we suggest a new outlook on vacation casual? [HuffPo]

Terry Richardson to Direct Gaga Doc: Lady Gaga’s upcoming album Artpop is coming with a Terry Richardson-shot documentary. The pop star tweeted, “Merry Christmas little monsters! Terry Richardson @Terry_World is making a #LadyGagaMOVIE documenting my life, the creation of ARTPOP + you!” [The Cut]

Carla Bruni edits Vogue: France’s former first lady, Carla Bruni Sarkozy, has guest-edited the December/January issue of French Vogue. Inside the magazine, she gives readers an exclusive look at her recording studio and film noir poster collections. [Page Six]

Belgium Doesn’t Want Bernard Arnault: It looks like Bernard Arnault’s request for Belgian citizenship will be rejected. The LVMH CEO requested a Belgian earlier this year, for “personal” reasons, reportedly due to President Hollande’s new tax increases on France’s high-income sector. News of his request was met with a hasty coverage by French paper Libération, depicting Arnault with a suitcase and captioned saying, “Get lost you rich idiot!” Arnault has not lived in Belgium for the minimum term of three years before applying for a passport—one of the requirements of Belgian citizenship.
