Forbes's annual list of the 100 most powerful women in the world has a few notable entries from the fashion world, including Diane von Furstenberg, Anna Wintour, and Miuccia Prada.
br>
The list ranks Diane von Furstenberg at no. 33, citing her position as president of the CFDA as a reason for the high ranking. She ranks far above any of the other women on the list who work in fashion, including even Anna Wintour, whose work raising money for President Obama's reelection campaign (and the 11 million plus people who read Vogue every month) helped hear earn spot 51. Miuccia Prada also made the list: in spot 67, she is recognized for her recent inclusion in the Costume Institute's Impossible Conversations exhibit.

Lady Gaga and Gisele Bundchen, aged 26 and 32 respectively, are the youngest women on the list; most of the other members are between the ages of 37 and 73.

But age isn't the number that matters on this list. A look at the most fashionable women included — and where they rank — here in the gallery.
Lady Gaga Goes Sleek in All Black: Leather Pants and Bow Pumps
Lady Gaga made an appearance — albeit a way less dramatic one than she normally does — in Vienna. Her all-black ensemble included black leather pants, an off-shoulder long-sleeved tee, black suede bow pumps, blacked-out shades, and a black wide-rimmed hat. The only color in Gaga's look was her Louis Vuitton bag. We love that her loose-fitting top revealed her delicate shoulders and that her bow pumps added much-needed daintiness to her monochromatic outfit. Mimic one of Gaga's most wearable ensembles when you want drama but don't feel very colorful.

Watch: Behind the Scenes of Lady Gaga's Hairy Vogue Shoot
Vogue's video staff must have had Lady Gaga's massive blond wig on the brain when it edited the behind-the-scenes video for her September cover: the clip is set to the singer's track "Hair." And what could be more appropriate for a minute-and-a-half-long series of shots that watch the wind blowing through the highly teased mass of golden fiber? The video also sees Gaga changing into and out of several ensembles, including pieces from Marc Jacobs and milliner Stephen Jones. At the end, the singer — taking care to make sure the wig is out of the way — thanks photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott with a kiss on the cheek. A behind-the-scenes look in the video below.

Lady Gaga's Vogue September 2012 Cover, and More From the Biggest Magazine Yet
If you can peel your eyes away from the stunning cover — a Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott-lensed portrait of Lady Gaga wearing a gown by Marc Jacobs — there are 916 pages of fashion to behold in Vogue's September 2012 issue.
br>
The issue marks Lady Gaga's second appearance on the cover (she also covered the March 2011 issue) and Vogue's 120th anniversary. It's also the biggest issue in the magazine's history, exceeding the previous record of 840 pages set in September 2007.
br>
The issue will be on newsstands on Aug. 14, and promises a profile on Chelsea Clinton, a story that frames hair as the new makeup, and a look back at the last 120 years of Vogue's history. For now, a look at Gaga's cover — and the magazine's very first cover from 1892 — here in the gallery.

Lady Gaga's Perfume Campaign Is Typically Risqué
Little by little, Lady Gaga is revealing more about her new perfume — and revealing more of herself in the process. This afternoon, Gaga tweeted a preview of the campaign for Fame:
i won't lie I'm a bit nervous. its been a while since i've shared some work with you. But i'm so proud of Steven+I, we really did not sleep!
Shot by Steven Klein, who directed Gaga's "Alejandro" video in 2010, the ad leans darker than many fragrance campaigns. It's a fitting move for Fame, whose juice is black in the bottle but turns clear when sprayed. And for Lady Gaga, it's just a teaser for the bigger campaign to come.
