"The dress is very Miami. Some people didn't like it, but I loved it. Yellow was the perfect color for Miami, and the ruffles gave me a little Latin flair. Sometimes I'll pick something and I'll feel completely comfortable, but certain people aren't comfortable with it. But they don't have to wear it."

"I've always been into costumey looks. The tan is a bit much with the hair, but I understand what I was going for. We didn't have stylists, obviously."

"I went to Seattle, and a lot of girls were wearing little French braids, and I thought, What if I could do French braids, and make them really long, so onstage they'd move around like snakes, and I could play with them and use them as a prop? I reference a lot of serpents and snakes. I just like the way that they move."

"I loved this dress. I think it was Dolce & Gabbana. It definitely has the curvy pinup-girl vibe. I'm doing the whole attitude, as you can see. Little ponytail, little rockabilly. This was one of the first award shows that I went to with the Black Eyed Peas, and I think we won."

"This was the bang era, or 'fringe' in Europe. It's the 'My Humps' period. I loved the look. The clip-on bangs were a huge deal, and there was always drama about the bangs being lost. They would travel with us, and one of the bags would get lost, and it'd have the bangs in there."

"That was for NASCAR, so I got into the mood of things. I like jumpers—you can stick out your stomach."

"That cape was something that I took off during the first part of this whole royal entrance—a play on the Dutchess. I had a scepter that I twirled. A little costumey; we didn't have a budget to do anything extravagant."

"Look at us! They gave us these gifts, so we put them on! We enjoy doing that kind of thing. I have a hat collection from different countries."

"Those were really high heels—Louis Vuitton, one of my favorite designers. I love this hairstyle—it's a classic one that I'll always go back to, because it's just kind of loose and a little bit like bed head. I'm just taking a break from it right now."

"Kate and I had a great time filming Nine. We would hang out and gossip and listen to music. She's similar to me in that she works hard but plays hard too. We really hit it off, and I adore that girl. Every time I see Jennifer, we talk more and more. I really respect her work ethic, and I think she's an amazing entertainer. Both girls are beautiful in person."

"This is the Dutchess persona. It was a little tongue-in-cheek with the tiara and my version of the Scottish kilt, modeled after the tartan based on my family's last name, Ferguson. See the crest on the tie?"

[In baby voice] "There's my husband and me! Josh and I didn't know we were being photographed. But you know what? I'm actually glad, because that's a really cute moment of how we are when we're together."

"I'm doing a front walkover. Those are very stretchy pants, so it's easy. I'm performing 'Barracuda'; I'm not going to perform that song half-assed. I don't care if it's seven in the morning."

"I'm putting myself out there with shoes that we've designed, and now buyers from different stores are seeing them. We had little fashion shows with girls modeling the shoes. I'm really proud of them. It feels good right now to have a line that's recession-friendly."

"I don't know how he does it."

"This is for M.A.C. Viva Glam. I'm their spokesperson. We go to different programs around the world. I see so many superficial things that I love to get to the real stuff, real people and what they've been through."

FERGIE: "It was fun to come to New York and be a brunette. Is that weird to say?"
ALLURE: "Did people recognize you?"
FERGIE: "No, that was great, too. Even my mother will say, 'I didn't put it together that that was you!'"

"This was the first time I saw my line in stores. Nordstrom was a very expensive store for me to shop at when I was in high school. I would always go to the sales. For me to be able to release my line in Nordstrom—it's a great thing."
