See Kelly Clarkson Cover 'Chandelier' in Sia Wig for Halloween

Kelly Clarkson donned a replica of Sia's signature, eye-shrouding wig and belted a pre-Halloween cover of "Chandelier" during a Facebook live session. Standing in front of a flowered wall in her Nashville home, the singer performed an a capella version of the 2014 hit, nailing every ghostly high note and melismatic swoop.
           

"I don't know how she does this 'cause, ya know, you can't see,” Clarkson joked afterward of Sia's hair. "But it's also kind of awesome, because you're in your own little world when you're performing … I love that song. Everybody loves that song."
After the performance, Clarkson promoted her second annual all-star Miracle on Broadway Christmas benefit show, set for December 16th at downtown Nashville's Bridgestone Arena. The event, which benefits four local charities, also features Reba, Ronnie Dunn, Kelsea Ballerini, RaeLynn, the Steeldrivers and Chip Esten.
Clarkson is currently prepping her eighth album, due out in 2017. The LP, which taps R&B and soul influences, will follow 2015's Piece By Piece, which drew heavily on contemporary electro-pop and EDM sounds.

Live Rich on a Dime with These Extravagant Paper Wigs

Saint Petersburg artist Asya Kozina makes paper wigs that pin together extravagance and simplicity. Crafted of nothing but paper and cardboard, they reimagine Baroque-era decadence in monochrome. Several years ago, after exhibiting miniature paper sculptures and noticing that viewers constantly wished to touch them—as though to confirm they were indeed made of paper—Kozina decided to make something people could pick up, handle, and wear. After completing and exhibiting a first set of wigs and dresses in 2012, she has continued to push herself and explore new motifs, from Mongolian wedding fashions to the Baroque wonders you see here.
           

After working on fairly traditional remakes of the over-the-top wigs worn during the Baroque period, the Russian artist decided to integrate present-day symbols into her intricate creations. Just as an 18th-century stylist might have opted to accessorize hairpieces with birds, feathers, or an entire ship model, Kozina balances planes and contemporary architecture atop her models’ heads.

Kozina works entirely by hand, from concept to execution. After studying historical materials, she draws a detailed sketch. Her husband Dmitriy then sculpts the underlying structure out of tough cardboard, while she prepares the strips that will give the wig its outer texture. “Then we add the larger elements, like curls," explains the artist, "and make changes as we go along, adding or subtracting decorative elements like flowers, feathers, and leaves."
