Last night, Naomi chose Alaïa, Coco went for a sheer Emilio Pucci gown, and Karolina showed off her curves in a Dimitri fringed dress. The men in attendance also brought their style game. Tyson Beckford, Brad Goreski, designer Zac Posen, and The Face's Nigel Barker all suited up for the occasion. The new show doesn't air on Oxygen until next Tuesday, but in the meantime, the first episode of The Face is available online now.

Tyson Beckford on How Linda Evangelista Helped Models Get Rich

>>Tyson Beckford says Linda Evangelista's famous pronouncement about '90s-era supermodels not waking up "for less than $10,00 a day" helped him — and other models of his time — make "silly" amounts of money.

>>Tyson Beckford says Linda Evangelista's famous pronouncement about '90s-era supermodels not waking up "for less than $10,00 a day" helped him — and other models of his time — make "silly" amounts of money.

Beckford explained in a recent interview that some of his paychecks were so large, they were almost comical.

"I once walked in a fashion show ­— literally, just walked —­ for no more than a minute or two and they paid me a silly amount of money . . . $40,000," Beckford said. "I was like, 'Really? You don't have to give me that!' You know when Linda said that it set the bar for every other model —­ everyone just upped their day rates. It was hilarious. All the models — women and men — were like, 'Remind me to send Linda flowers!'"

Beckford also said that paychecks weren't the only things in the '90s modeling industry that were over the top.

"The fashion industry was so different back then. I guess it was all so new and so extravagant," he said. "The budgets were enormous; it was certainly a lot more fun. The parties were out of control and because no one had a camera phone and there was no Facebook or Twitter, you could do whatever you wanted with whoever you wanted."

Heidi Klum and Husband Seal Monkey Around at Their Halloween Bash

Heidi Klum played Halloween hostess yet again last night with her bash at the Ph-D Rooftop Lounge at NYC's Dream Downtown Hotel.

Heidi Klum played Halloween hostess yet again last night with her bash at the Ph-D Rooftop Lounge at NYC's Dream Downtown Hotel. She was just in Las Vegas for the Nevada version of her annual holiday soirée and, for that occasion, was covered in body paint and minimal fabric as "the visible woman." However, yesterday's event required more covering up — and fur! Heidi and her husband Seal were dressed as monkeys, and she tweeted that they were "mad happy!" The evening of socializing came after a nonstop day for notorious Halloween fan Heidi, who swung by Live With Regis and Kelly as well as Late Night With Jimmy Fallon to record special appearances. Many other celebs turned out for Heidi's event, including models Chrissy Teigen and Doutzen Kroes as well as a Toddlers and Tiaras-clad Fergie.

Beyoncé, Blake, and Kim Share Their Thanksgiving Plans!

Beyoncé Knowles played host last night at the launch event for designer to the stars Lorraine Schwartz's new 2BHAPPY collection.

Beyoncé Knowles played host last night at the launch event for designer to the stars Lorraine Schwartz's new 2BHAPPY collection. The superstar was the last to arrive wearing white on the red carpet, which also brought out her mother, Tina, Blake Lively, and a fresh-from-LA Kim Kardashian. Blake, who showed some skin in her nude Versace number, spoke to reporters about her favorite Thanksgiving meal, sweet potatoes, and being thankful for her family this year. Kim Kardashian wasn't about to talk about her budding romance with Gabriel Aubry, but she shared about her family's upcoming holiday plans. Her mom, Kris, will make the whole Kardashian clan pitch in with the cooking Thursday, and Kim said she surprisingly doesn't have much on her Christmas list yet. Beyoncé had to dash in to get the party started inside Lavo with Lorraine, but her mom, Tina, opened up about her and husband Jay-Z, commenting that they will make great parents when and if the constant pregnancy rumors ever prove to be true. Tina also revealed that Beyoncé and Jay-Z will be spending Thanksgiving out of the country as they gear up to celebrate his 41st birthday. When asked if she was sad to not spend the day with the couple, Tina said, "They'll make their own traditions." Stay tuned for video from the event on today's PopSugar Rush!

Halle, John, Padma, and Adrian Have a Ball Together

Halle Berry went sexy in her cutout dress last night for Keep a Child Alive's 6th Annual Black Ball in NYC.

Halle Berry went sexy in her cutout dress last night for Keep a Child Alive's 6th Annual Black Ball in NYC. She had her best accessory, boyfriend Gabriel, on her arm, as she walked the red carpet alongside Adrian Grenier and pregnant Padma Lakshmi. John Mayer made an appearance solo as rumors about his rekindled romance with Jennifer Aniston circulate, though you guys seem to think their giving it another go is a pretty terrible idea. Today happens to be John's 32nd birthday, so it looks like he got a head start on the celebrating.

Sneak Peek! Make Me a Supermodel Season Two Contestants

If you didn't vote for season two's Make Me a Supermodel contestants, then you can't complain about the chosen 16.

If you didn't vote for season two's Make Me a Supermodel contestants, then you can't complain about the chosen 16. Karen and Ken were the lucky ones who made the cut. From the looks of it, no one from this bunch is supermodel material as of yet. But I've seen the magic this show can work — they did it last season — so I'm not worried. Below, meet Chris, Salome, and, of course, hottie host, Tyson Beckford. This round's judges include Catherine Malandrino and old Calvin Klein model Jenny Shimizu. I'm excited for the season premiere on March 4 on Bravo. Are you?

Christina and Seal Celebrate at Africa Rising Festival

Christina Aguilera arrived in London with her boys Jordan and Max over the weekend and tonight was the big event. She, along with others like Seal, took the stage to perform at the Africa Rising Festival. Tyson Beckford graced us with his shirtless presence while even Colin Powell got into the dancing spirit. Christina took the red carpet in a colorful outfit, but when it came time to sing she was back in the all-white we recognize from her tour last Summer. Before her show, Christina talked a little about Max, saying they'll have more kids and that her upcoming album is inspired by him: "It's all about color and life. Everything's a playground for him. Everything is color and fun." It looks like she was already wrapped up in that colorful and fun spirit last night alongside all the other performers for the night.
