Mrs. Carter Partied in a Roberto Cavalli Gown

Last night, Queen Bey, who's currently on break from the Mrs. Carter Show world tour, joined Mr. Carter at the 40/40 Club's 10 Year Anniversary Party. For the festive occasion, the singer wore a knitted, sleeveless, floor-grazing number covered in cutouts from Roberto Cavalli's spring 2013 collection. She styled her white, summer-ready gown with a gold clutch and a dainty choker necklace featuring a sideways cross — which might be more fitting if she were married to Yeezus.

Roberto Cavalli to Reveal All in New Memoirs

The outspoken Italian designer recently told Vogue U.K. that he'll be releasing an autobiography (that he's worked on for years) in October. "In a few months, you will know everything ... I don't know why I decided to do it — I guess I had something to write. It doesn't really talk about fashion though, it talks about me and my life," he explained in his trademark, somewhat-rambling style. Will it be as detailed as his blog? Or will it be his blog in book form? As of now, the 300-page memoir is slated for publication in Italian and German, while the designer seeks out a British publisher. We're crossing our fingers for more designer shade, loving thoughts on his German Shepard son Lupo, and honestly, any bonkers thought that pops up into his yacht-addled brain.

Roberto Cavalli’s Used Cigarette Was eBay Gold

The Italian designer recently chatted with Vogue U.K. and spurted out classic Cavalli gems about both the duchess ("A princess should be sexy") and Victoria Beckham ("I remember when she asked me to design the Spice Girls costumes for the reunion in 2008, I was so surprised and pleased because I really didn't like the competition — Dolce & Gabbana"). More surprisingly, he also shared a silly tidbit about himself that involved a used cigarette and the Internet. "At the Cavalli for H&M launch in 2007, I stepped out of the car smoking and dropped my cigarette on the pavement — a disgusting, dirty Italian habit — and I found out not long afterwards that it was sold on eBay for £250," he said. "My children said to me, 'You are not allowed to throw your butts away ever again, we'll have them.'" Somebody spent nearly $400 for something that touched Cavalli's mouth! That person could have purchased a new, animal-print wallet instead.
