Fashion Scoop: Lupita Nyong’o May Be Sharing Her Stylist With Jennifer Aniston, Gigi Hadid Is The New Face Of Maybelline, Tom Ford Says He’s Not Going Back To Gucci.

• Lupita Nyongo’o had an amazing year in style last year, thanks to a very close partnership with her stylist Micaela Erlanger.  Well reports are now saying that Nyong’o may be soon sharing the stylist with an unlikely candidate: Jennifer Aniston. Sources speculate that Jennifer is wanting to move away from safe and get into some real style star potential. We only hope that Lupita’s options aren’t left to suffer because of it. (StyleBlazer)

• As another indication that the fashion industry is really taking menswear seriously, the New York Times has announced that they will now begin publishing a men’s style dedicated section. You read that right, section! Running the first Friday of every month, the column will be overseen by the style editor Stuart Emmrich and some speculate that it will hold a dedicated watch column. As of now there are no plans to transition to weekly after any period of time. (Four-Pins)

• Move over Jourdan Dunn, there’s a new face of Maybelline in town.  Gigi Hadid (former reality TV star but like Kendall Jenner, has become a full fledged model) is now an ambassador for the brand in addition to contracts for Tom Ford and Guess. It’s likely the contract reads similar to Kendall Jenner’s which expects her to use her massive social media following as a part of the deal. (Teen Vogue)

• The New York Fashion Week schedule just got a whee more packed. After debuting her first collection for the brand independent of an organized fashion week Marissa Webb has announced that the next Banana Republic collection will show in primetime at NYFW. It’s very clear that the new BR will be taking itself very seriously, and with the pieces we’ve seen, that’s totally fine. (Fashionista)

• The rumor mill in the fashion industry moves very quickly. It was just this morning that we heard that there was a rumor Tom Ford would be stepping back into his role at Gucci. It seemed fitting as Frida Giannini’s tenure at the brand seemed to be an unsuccessful reprisal of his first stint there. But just as quickly, a spokesperson for Tom Ford spoke up: not going to happen. Well, it was a nice thought for a second. (Style)
