Congratulations are in order for model Natasha Poly, who just announced that she's expecting a child.

On Thursday, Poly posted a photo of herself clutching the midsection of a blue-and-white patterned maxi dress to her Instagram account with the caption "Baby on board."

The 27-year-old, who just appeared on the May 2013 cover of Vogue Russia, has been married to the Dutch businessman Peter Bakker for just over two years. This baby will be their first child.

November 2012 Magazine Covers | Pictures

Now that everyone's lives are somewhat back to normal (read: Fashion Month is over), perhaps we'll all have a little extra time to thumb through some of the stunning November 2012 issues of our favorite magazines.

This month's selection of images runs the gamut from colorful and sparkly, like Taylor Swift on the cover of Glamour, to clean, spare, and high-end — Aymeline Valade's cover of Vogue Japan, on which she wears a piece from Raf Simons's debut couture collection for Christian Dior, is a perfect example.

A look at all the covers revealed thus far here, in the gallery.

Nicole and Natasha Light Up the Red Carpet in a Familiar Shade

Remember at this year's Oscars when Michelle Williams wore a Louis Vuitton gown that was "not quite orange, not exactly coral, not really red," but all-around amazing?

Remember at this year's Oscars when Michelle Williams wore a Louis Vuitton gown that was "not quite orange, not exactly coral, not really red," but all-around amazing? Well, even though months have passed and the seasons have changed, that head-scratching hard-to-pin-down shade is still around, and making a huge impact on the red carpet. Just last night, both Nicole Richie and Natasha Poly showed up at events sporting the juicy hue — Nicole attended the FFANY Shoes on Sale gala in a high-collar macramé dress by Australian brand Scanlan & Theodore, while Natasha partied at the Angel Ball with the likes of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian in a sexy knit Roberto Cavalli gown. Both women lit up their respective events, just as Michelle Williams did at the Academy Awards earlier this year — and we're betting that this bold, vibrant color will be sticking around for another round of red carpet revelry.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Dress to the Nines For an NYC Bash

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West returned to NYC yesterday after a weekend trip to Italy, and they changed into their black-tie wear to hit the town right away.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West returned to NYC yesterday after a weekend trip to Italy, and they changed into their black-tie wear to hit the town right away. Kim donned a low-cut, bright blue gown to accompany Kanye to the Angel Ball, held to benefit Gabrielle's Angel Foundation, at Cipriani Wall Street. Kanye and Kim are often spotted hanging out with their pals Jay-Z and Beyoncé Knowles, but Jay and Beyoncé sat last night out. Instead, Kim and Kanye made the rounds with Beyoncé's sister, Solange Knowles, and mom, Tina Knowles. Also out for the charitable bash was Nelly and his partner, Ashanti. Bar Refaeli mingled with fellow model Jessica Stam before joining Kim and Kanye's table for dinner.

Kim was happy to be back in the Big Apple, and tweeted after the bash, "Lots of laughs at The Angel Ball with my best friends." Kim and Kanye had been in Europe to celebrate her 32nd birthday, which was Sunday. We marked the milestone by taking a look at Kim Kardashian's best Instagram pictures. Kanye kept the fun coming yesterday by surprising Kim during their meal with another birthday cake.

i-D Magazine Role Model Issue Fall 2012 Covers

Everyone needs someone to look up to, so for the role-models-themed Fall 2012 issue of i-D Magazine, Daniele Duella and Iango Henzi photographed a litany of the industry's boldface names for a series of beautiful covers.

Gisele Bundchen is captured in black and white, surrounded by wavy tendrils of her own hair. Isabeli Fontana, made up like a classic '40s femme fatale, makes a neck brace look like the chicest, easiest-to-wear accessory there is, and Karen Elson's fiery hair is pushed into an extremely experimental shape.

A look at the rest of the models' hair — styled into tonsorial perfection by Luigi Murenu — here in the gallery.
