Olivia Rodrigo Goes Full Riot Grrrl in a See-Through, Chain-Mail Minidress

May 02, 2022 at 08:30PM Olivia Rodrigo’s punk-rock era is alive and well. After grabbing dinner with Conan Gray at Carbone in New York City on May 1, the “Good 4 U” singer stepped out of the restaurant in a sheer, chain-mail minidress layered over a black bralette and matching briefs. Betraying no sense of cold in the see-through ensemble, Rodrigo strutted past the paparazzi with a smile in a pair of black velvet Mary Jane platforms. Rodrigo’s dress also featured two sky-high leg slits on either side of her thighs. She styled the outfit with a spiked choker necklace in silver, a matching bracelet, asymmetrical heart drop earrings, and multiple rings - a little sour, a little sweet, and undeniably edgy. When it came to hair, she traded her standard lengthy waves for a straighter look that easily could’ve passed as a…

Gabrielle Union Takes High-Waisted Pants to a Whole New Level

May 02, 2022 at 08:05PM The amount of rise in a pant is extremely serious business. At a time in which Gen Z keeps threatening to make low-rise trendy again, I have been clutching my jeans to my navel for dear life. Thankfully, celebrities like Gabrielle Union have stepped out in outfits that show the high-waisted look is not going anywhere… no matter what the Y2K movement may have you believe. Ahead of the Met Gala, Union was spotted in the Upper East Side, rocking some incredible plaid pants with zipper details and - most importantly - a waistband that went all the way up to her rib cage. On top, she wore a simple, periwinkle bralette, aviators, and a brown leather duster that accented the color palette of her pants perfectly. She completed the look with light-brown platforms and a slick ponytail, looking…

This Canadian Designer On Why It’s A Weird Time To Be Alive

May 02, 2022 at 07:50PM Cassie Germann’s brand, It’s A Weird Time To Be Alive, started as a kind of art therapy. “I called them ‘pandemic panic drawings,‘” says the former tattoo artist of her initial graphics. “In 2020, everything was so overwhelming that I would just sit and draw while listening to the news. Suddenly, I had all of this artwork that I thought would look great on a t-shirt, but the problem was, during the lockdown, nothing was open, so I was forced to work with what I had.” Enter daily trips to the dollar store for fabric paint and upcycling pieces from her own closet, and the Canadian sustainable brand was born. For Germann, It’s A Weird Time To Be Alive is a form of fashionable activism, hence the quirky yet powerful collages she creates on upcycled clothing. As a…

Lady Gaga Rocks a Cheeky Chain-Strap Bikini in Las Vegas

May 02, 2022 at 07:40PM It seems that blue is Lady Gaga’s favorite color this season. After wearing two dresses in light variations of the hue at the 2022 Grammys last month, the “Stupid Love” singer wore an aqua bikini over the weekend. While lounging poolside to celebrate the end of her Las Vegas residency on May 1, she matched the water in a two-piece with gold-chain straps. Gaga has worn chain-detail swimwear on multiple occasions in the past, and she’s once again displaying her dedication to the trend this year. As she revealed on Instagram Stories, the bikini top featured a front cutout held together by another matching chain. So, where did Gaga score this sultry swimsuit? As one eagle-eyed fan discovered, it looks exactly like a sold-out bikini from controversial fast-fashion retailer Shein. This would come as a surprise, considering the…

Dua Lipa Rocked a Cutout Jumpsuit & Stilettos in a Bathtub

May 02, 2022 at 06:55PM Dua Lipa turned a bathroom into a photoshoot set and managed to showcase a new outfit while she was at it. In a mirror selfie posted on Instagram, the singer posed with her friend and fellow Londoner Sarah Lysander in a black jumpsuit with keyhole cutouts lining the front. Embellished with tiny pastel blue bows, the details exposed her cleavage and midriff, while a halter neck showed off her shoulders and small arm tattoos. Lipa struck another pose in the second image of the carousel post captioned “bathtime stories,” offering a full look of the knee-length jumpsuit, which also features matching bows on the side. Her wavy hair, parted in the middle, cascaded past her shoulders. She opted for subtly glam makeup like orange lipgloss. The design is by Cormio, the label of Italian fashion designer Jezabelle Cormio,…

Fans Think Kim Kardashian Will Wear This Famous Marilyn Monroe Dress to the Met Gala

May 02, 2022 at 05:20PM The internet has a theory that Kim Kardashian will be wearing a gown from the late Marilyn Monroe’s closet to the 2022 Met Gala. The rumors first started to swirl when the 41-year-old star revealed she will not be able to tailor her Met Gala gown at all, which led everyone to believe that she was pulling a vintage piece from the archives. “I think it will be up to the last minute because it can’t be tailored, so I have to fit into it like exactly,” she revealed in an interview with “Access Hollywood” at the red carpet premiere of Hulu’s “The Kardashians” last month. When Kardashian and boyfriend Pete Davidson were spotted in Orlando, FL, visiting Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Museum, the internet took that as another sign that she will be wearing Monroe’s iconic…
