Kings of Leon rockers Jared and Caleb Followill sit front row at the Rag & Bone Presentation Fall 2010 during Mercedes-Benz NY Fashion Week on Friday (February 12) in New York City.
The brothers sat across from Vogue editor Anna Wintour, her daughter Bee Shaffer and Grace Coddington.
“It’s weird having Anna Wintour right there looking at me,” Caleb shared. “Little does she know that my boots are three years old!”
Jared joked about the four Grammy Awards he’s racked up so far. “I’m going to melt them and create one super Grammy statue,” he joked.
The Followills attended the show to support Caleb’s girlfriend, model Lily Aldridge, who walked the runway at the Rag & Bone show.
Rock band Kings of Leon pick up Record of the Year for their hit song “Use Somebody” at the 2010 Grammy Awards at the Staples Center on Sunday (January 31) in Los Angeles.
“I’m not going to lie, we’re all a little drunk. But we’re happy drunks,” said lead singer Caleb Followill.
Nathan Followill (glasses) wore a blue John Varvatos button down shirt and a navy diagonal striped tie. Caleb (all black) wore a custom-tailored grey three piece suit and dress shirt all by Burberry. His girlfriend, model Lily Aldridge, wore a Burberry trench coat over a Philip Lim 3.1 dress.

Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill pops, sprays, and chugs champagne in the January 2010 issue of Spin Magazine, as captured by British fashion photographer Frederike Helwig.
KoL was named Band of the Year by Spin and when asked about achieving this level of fame, Caleb shared, “We definitely got bigger than we wanted to be. You feel like you’ve done something wrong. That woman in mom jeans who’d never let me date her daughter? She likes my music. That’s f—ing not cool. You almost start doing damage control: When people ask you to do stuff, you’re like, ‘No, because I can already tell this record is going to get to a level where people will f—ing hate us.’”

Kings of Leon drummer Nate Followill married singer Jessie Baylin on Sunday (November 15) at an outside ceremony in Brentwood, Tenn.
“It was a gorgeous 70 degree day and the wedding was beautiful,” the band’s spokesman told People. “It was a very love-affirming wedding with lots of warmth and happiness.”
Nate’s bandmates Caleb and Jared (his brothers) and Matthew Followill (his cousin) attended, as did Scarlett Johansson, a high school classmate of the bride’s.
The couple met in 2006 at Tennessee music festival Bonnaroo.
“I woke up with a married woman in my bed this morning,” Nate tweeted on Sunday morning. “Luckily she was mine.”
Congratulations to the happy couple!!
Kelly Clarkson mashes two cover songs together — Alanis Morissette’s “That I Would Be Good” and Kings of Leon’s “Use Somebody” — while kicking off her “All I Ever Wanted” tour at the Mohegan Sun Arena on Friday (October 2) in Uncasville, Conn.
On Sunday, the 27-year-old American Idol champ will be performing at the Cumberland County Civic Center in Portland, Maine. And then on Tuesday, Kelly will play NYC’s Hammerstein Ballroom. Woot!
FYI: Just last week, KoL’s single “Use Somebody” hit the #1 spot on the Top 40 Radio charts in both airplay and audience. Amazingly, this is happening exactly one year after their album Only By The Night was released.
