Are Women’s Sports Achievements Still Not As Highly Valued As Men’s?

August 05, 2021 at 08:44PM On July 31, Canadian history was made at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Homophobia Is Alive and Well in Hollywood

August 05, 2021 at 07:22PM Carmen Logie remembers the very first time she heard of HIV/AIDS. It was the mid-1980s and she was about 10 years old when she saw a billboard that read “AIDS kills.” This jarring introduction to an unknown concept confused her. She remembers thinking, “What is this? AIDS kills?” Now an associate professor in the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work at the University of Toronto and a Canada Research Chair in Global Health Equity and Social Justice, she says this kind of HIV/AIDS messaging in the media contributes to the othering of LGBTQ+ communities. After seeing recent headlines about well-known celebrities using homophobic slurs and perpetuating HIV/AIDS stigma with harmful comments, Logie says she’s reminded of how far we still have to go in challenging our biases. On August 2, rapper DaBaby apologized for homophobic comments he made during…

Justine Skye Looks Like a Modern-Day Cher Horowitz in Her New Music Video

August 05, 2021 at 05:06PM Yes, Justine Skye’s latest music video for her new song “In My Bag” is catchy as hell, but we can’t stop thinking about her 2000s-inspired outfit. For her new video, Justine wore a gray bralette paired with a pleated tennis skirt, which made us think of Clueless’s Cher Horowitz. While strutting her stuff on the streets of New York, Justine styled her set with a matching trench coat that had a fuzzy purple feather trim, which was very early aughts, too! The singer showed off all angles of the nostalgic look on Instagram, which was taken by photographer Olav Stubberud, to give fans a closer look at the amazing outfit. Ahead, watch the whole music video in its entirety before checking out her look, too. Related: The Story Behind Dua Lipa’s Costume in “Demeanor” Makes That Gold Corset…

Lady Gaga Looks Like She’s Leaving the Gym Until You See Her 8-Inch Platform Boots

August 05, 2021 at 02:53PM Despite recently returning from the far away planet of Chromatica, Lady Gaga continues to remind us that she is the most fashionable alien to walk this Earth. The House of Gucci multi-hyphenate was seen on Wednesday, Aug. 4 in a Marc Jacobs set and a casual pair of eight-inch Pleaser platforms. Although the baby blue Marc Jacobs sport set Gaga is wearing is adorable and we absolutely want one, it feels almost unnatural to see her in such a tame outfit. Then, of course, we see her white patent Pleaser heels with a neck-breaking eight-inch platform heel, and all is right in the world again. Gaga is a huge fan of Pleaser’s iconic shoes, and the singer’s collection of sky-high platform heels has been growing since her ArtPop fashion era in the 2010s. Keep reading for a closer…

We’re Not Olympic Judges, but We’d Score Tom Daley’s Knitted Team GB Cardigan an 11/10

August 05, 2021 at 01:33PM Here at POPSUGAR, we’re huge fans of the Olympics, especially when it comes to cheering on Team GB and becoming experts in sports we weren’t familiar with before July 23. But there’s another sport that we’ve become even more obsessed with during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, and that’s Tom Daley knitting and crocheting in the stands while cheering on his teammates. We’ve seen him crochet a dog jumper, an Olympic medal pouch, and also an epic Olympic-themed cardigan. After working on it over the last few weeks, Tom proudly showed off his latest masterpiece on his Instagram page @madewithlovebytomdaley. “When I got to Tokyo, I wanted to make something that would remind me of these games. Something that I could say I had made in Tokyo, during the Olympics!” he wrote in the Instagram caption showing off…

No One Believes I Found This ÂŁ13 Cool Top from M&S

August 05, 2021 at 12:19PM What is behind our continued obsession with tie-dye? And when I say ‘our’, I mean everyone, not just the fashion crowd. While the trend might have exploded on the runways a few seasons ago (Dior, Proenza Schouler and Versace, to name a few), it wasn’t until we hit the first lockdown that the trend suddenly became the print du jour, with online global shopping platform Lyst reporting a huge increase in searches for the print last year. I think part of its appeal is to do with its roots—most recently in '60s hippie culture and as such is associated with a more laid-back lifestyle. In a world where anxiety is, understandably, at an all-time high, tie-dye gives the impression of being more chilled out even when you probably aren’t. Personally, my motivation for wearing tie-dye is somewhere in between all the above…

Here’s What a Dermatologist Really Thinks About These 6 Viral Skincare Products

August 05, 2021 at 08:00AM While social media can be a hub for all things fashion and beauty, skincare is a topic that can get a little tricky, especially when certain products start to trend. I’d be lying if I said I haven’t been guilty of succumbing to a viral product only to be disappointed when it didn’t exactly work for my skin. While following trends for clothes and makeup can be an easier feat, with skincare, it’s crucial to be cautious because what works for others may not work for you, and some products may seem like they’re working but can actually cause damage and irritation later on. It’s important to pay close attention to the ingredients before purchasing a product and to consult an expert if possible, especially if you’re facing specific skin concerns. Since I’ve been seeing quite a few products circulate around social media that have…
