It's April Fool's Day, which means that practically the whole internet is abuzz with pranks. We rounded up a couple of the best fashion and beauty pranks from around the web, including:

Bacon-flavored Scope mouthwash

Ron Swanson is going to be so upset when he finds out this isn't a real thing.

Rebecca Minkoff on Real Housewives

Glamour 'reported' this morning that the fashion designer would be joining the cast of The Real Housewives of New York City. Best joke: her debut single will be called "Money can buy you bags."

NYC subway worker outfits courtesy Givenchy

Sometimes April Fool's Day can be sad, like when we imagine the possibility of a real Givenchy/MTA collab and then know it could never happen.

Urban Outfitters' maxi tube dress

Combining a bunch of trends in one, while kinda making fun of yourself in the process? Well played, Urban Outfitters. Well played.

Refinery29's Reality Show

Move over Fashion Star and The Face and make way for The Real 29, starring the cast of Refinery29.com.

Boden's Man Skirt

Who says that skirts on dudes are just for Scots? Boden's here to supply all your hipster skirt-sporting dude friends.

Bonobos' girlfriend jeans

And along the same lines, Bonobos is featuring The Girlfriend Jean for guys, which is "extra low-rise to accentuate and flatter your natural curves." Will next year bring meggings? Or maybe Dad Jeans?

Google Nose

Good news, perfume lovers: if you smell something and can't figure out what it is, Google's new "Nose" feature will help you figure out what it is - until tomorrow, when the joke's over.
