We are a mere two days away from this year’s Fashion’s Night Out, the global shopping party endorsed by Vogue and promoted by celebrities including Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift. Though the Biebs and Swifty aren’t actually confirmed for any events, a bunch of other pop stars have booked in-store gigs in New York City and Los Angeles. Here, the top six.

The fashion industry obsession and Alexander Wang muse has a new partnership with makeup giant M.A.C. Azealia has collaborated with the cosmetics company on a limited-edition eggplant-hued lipstick named “Yung Rapunxel” and will be appearing at the M.A.C. boutique in Soho for an exclusive FNO performance. It’s scheduled for 7:45pm, but you’d be smart to get there at least an hour in advance.
