Watch out Parsons, another school’s showing off their immense creativity.

A student from Van Van University in Vietnam has designed a dress made out of condoms to raise safe sex awareness on World AIDS day (December 1).

The student, Nguyen Minh Tuan, used 700 glow in the dark condoms to create the strapless dress.

“I made this project in the hope of raising the self-consciousness and awareness of Vietnamese people towards protecting their loved ones by avoiding STDs,” Tuan told VietnamNet.vn.

Many designers around the world are noticing this glowing fabrication, according to the Huffington Post.

“The cut of the dress is fabulous and the addition of the empire waistline is great,” says fashion blogger Wendy Eustache.

Others say that this dress is made to fit stars like Katy Perry and Lady Gaga, who work on a lot of campaigns for safe sex themselves.

No reports on whether this dress will go up for sale or not. But, I can tell you one thing: whoever ends up wearing this out on the town has absolutely NO excuse for getting pregnant.

Twilight fans can now be just like Bella Swan on their own special day.

When marrying Robert Pattinson’s character in Breaking Dawn: Part One, Kristin Stewart is wearing a gorgeous long-sleeved white gown designed by Carolina Herrera. A replica gown has just been made by bridal retailer Alfred Angelo for $799, CBC News says. 

Considering some wedding gowns prices are in the 5 figure range, 800 bucks is a pretty sweet deal. For all you high-end shoppers, you should be happy to know Herrera will be selling the original dress at her boutiques in New York next year, but the cost is yet to be confirmed. I’d except it to cost as much as a brand new car.

As far as wedding gowns go, the Bella Swan one is actually pretty classic and sophisticated, just like kate Middleton’s infamous long-sleeved gown. No word yet on whether a replica of Edward’s tuxedo will be sold anywhere.

That’s kind of embarrassing! Jessica Simpson arrived at a business meeting where she wore a tight dress, which kind of showed a baby bump. Obviously everyone thought she was pregnant. But actually no….

Her spokesperson told Hollywood Life that “She is not pregnant.”

Simpson has said in the past, “I definitely see myself having a family with Eric, so that’s exciting to think about.”

Eric of course is Eric Johnson, her NFL player fiancée.

So that baby bump was actually a gut. Poor Jessica.

Lady Gaga is known for her outlandish fashion sense, but her travelling getup is a hazard – literally. According The Sun, Gaga’s dress made out of black and yellow tape, was so tight that it brought on early stages of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) – a potentially deadly blood clot in a deep vein.

While on a flight from London to New York, the experienced flight crew told the star that if she did not remove the outfit fast, she would risk long-term damage. A DVT can occur without symptoms, but may be painful, swollen, red, and warm and the superficial veins may become engorged.

An airline source said: “GaGa was a high-risk DVT case so she was advised to change out of her clothes. But the outfit was so cumbersome she needed help changing out of it. She was particularly miffed about ditching her heels. She was wearing them in memory of her friend Alexander [McQueen].”
