The Matrix and ’90s Cyberpunk Style Lives On

November 23, 2021 at 09:44PM The Matrix is a fashion film, actually. Since its release in 1999, the dystopian series has had viewers hooked. The sci-fi film — set in a world where humans are unknowingly trapped inside a simulated reality constructed by AI-powered machines — centered protagonist Neo (Canadian actor Keanu Reeves) as he fought alongside a team of rebels to free humanity. Aside from captivating surreal action scenes, the film’s characters had an impeccable style that inspired a timeless fashion aesthetic. Costume designer Kym Barrett created a signature wardrobe that encapsulated the movie’s boundary-pushing ideas, by dressing characters in sleek ’90s cyberpunk uniforms. Over the course of the series’ three installments, The Matrix took hold of the fashion world. And with its newest iteration, The Matrix Resurrections, we’re sensing a comeback. The saga’s anticipated fourth movie, which premiers in theatres on…

November 23, 2021 at 09:20PM Few pieces pack as much day-to-night appeal as the midi dress. The sweet “between the knee and ankle” length makes it optimal for work meetings and evening cocktail parties alike, while the silhouette enables as much freedom as any other dress.

BeyoncĂ©’s Plaid Minidress Teases a New Ivy Park Collection With Major Prep Appeal

November 23, 2021 at 07:25PM What do we know about BeyoncĂ©’s upcoming holiday collection for Adidas x Ivy Park? Well, not much, except for that it seems like it could be preppy with a collegiate influence thanks to the olive green emblem plastered on the Instagram page and BeyoncĂ©’s outfit in the teaser - a plaid cutout blazer dress complete with round sunglasses. Rumored to drop on December 10, the drip comes hot on the heels of the Peloton collaboration that included bright neon activewear and the 58-piece rodeo lineup that celebrated the impact of Black men and women on American Western culture. We’re sure it won’t be long before we see a splashy campaign video (that may or may not include any members of the Carter family) to provide a bit more insight about what’s next. In the meantime, ivypark.com is set…

Everything You Need To Know About The Illusion-Print Designs Celebrities Are Wearing

November 23, 2021 at 07:15PM A number of trendy prints have catapulted (back) into popularity in the last few seasons. Among them, ‘50s and '60s-reminiscent checkerboard, '70s psychedelic motifs, and the never ending revolving door of tie dye. Now, with the ongoing resurgence of '90s and Y2K fashion, another trend is a bit less anticipated, inarguably more experimental and depending on how you interpret it, sometimes even a tad risque. For a small crop of designers, both emerging and longstanding, predictable patterns such as stripes and animal print take a back seat, and in its place come illusion-creating designs that mimic the body – And in case you missed it, they’re all over Instagram with a handful of fashionably-inclined celebrities to cosign. The particular aesthetic comes in a multitude of variations: Some designers use a cluster of dots to create the illusion of…

19 Chic Blanket Coats You Can Definitely Leave the House In (But Just Might Not Want to)

November 23, 2021 at 06:25PM Every time you buy a new coat, you should think of it as building out your permanent collection of outwear. Coats are pricey, occupy a lot of space in your closet, and are certainly something you want to wear more than a single season. Every now and then a new shape comes along that’s worth the splurge and this season’s blanket coat is a fresh silhouette to consider. Its longer, slightly oversized throw-on-and-go shape lends itself to easy, stylish dressing. Even foundation wardrobe items like a cashmere knit and denim underneath get a trendy update with an oversized coat. Try pairing it with a smaller structured cross-body bag and sunglasses and you’ve created an effortless look that you can wear all day and look pulled together. The oversized nature of the blanket coat feels extra cozy and makes…

Naomi Osaka’s Funky Sheer Pants Made This Courtside Date Night a Lot More Interesting

November 23, 2021 at 05:46PM The hottest date night spot as of late? Hanging courtside at a basketball game. On Sunday night, Naomi Osaka was spotted front row at the Clippers vs. Mavericks match in Los Angeles with her boyfriend and rapper Cordae. The court was the tennis player’s runway as she stood out in a fashion-forward outfit consisting of a casual white button-down and a pair of funky sheer pants with velvet embroidered cuffs. Naomi piled on the accessories, which included a sherpa bucket hat, large gold hoops, a diamond watch and matching bracelet, and of course, a Louis Vuitton purse. She is a global ambassador for the fashion house after all. The athlete completed the look with Swarovski Air Force 1s and a draped black coat. Cordae didn’t look too bad himself in a more neutral outfit, wearing a corduroy blazer…

How Elle Fanning Got Dressed in Catherine the Great’s Coronation Gown, Pregnancy Corset and All

November 23, 2021 at 05:11PM It took Elle Fanning 25 minutes to get dressed in her coronation gown as Catherine in Hulu’s The Great. Don’t forget, she’s dressing for two this season. But Fanning is a pro when it comes to embracing her characters through wardrobe, and costume designer Sharon Long knew she would rise to the occasion. When she talked to POPSUGAR about dressing a baby bump in the 18th century, we discovered the plan was quite involved. “There’s not a massive amount of reference. You lose the 18th-century shape, which is a tiny waist with structure, and you get a raising belly that you have to accommodate while still making her look regal and light with a sense of purity and optimism,” Long said, explaining that if there was any shift in the aesthetic from season one to two, it was…
