My New Favorite Shades Are Under $150, Polarized, and From the Brand Yesglasses

November 09, 2021 at 10:30PM To be fully transparent, I have a strong dislike for sunglasses. I won’t use the H*** word, but I can’t stand how much I 1) spend on shades and 2) lose them. If I buy inexpensive sunglasses, they break, and if I buy expensive sunnies, they’re lost in a week (my own doing, I know, but I can never win!). I’ve worn every pair of shades under the sun - pun intended - from Ray-Bans to Target to Warby Parker and more, but what’s blown me away the most? Yesglasses. Fairly new to the lens market, the US-based brand popped up a mere four years ago and just recently caught my eye. While I’m not obsessed with the looks of its packaging, I will say the quality is unbeatable and the price is that sweet spot of not-too-expensive-not-too-cheap-they-break…

A Supervillain With Style – See Lady Gaga’s Gothic Twist on This Dramatic Gucci Cape Dress

November 09, 2021 at 09:16PM Purple is the color of royalty and Lady Gaga did the vibrant shade justice during her show-stopping entrance along the red carpet at the House of Gucci UK premiere on Nov. 9. Walking with cast mates like Adam Driver and Jared Leto, Gaga stole the show before the film even started rolling thanks to her floor-length Gucci gown. Knotted at the front of her waist, the dress flowed backwards like a set of surrealist butterfly wings every time Gaga tossed the cape over her shoulder, and we have to admit: we’re mesmerized. In a perfectly gothic juxtaposition to the delicate purple fabric, the “Stupid Love” singer styled the look with a pair of black fishnet tights in a star pattern, shoulder-length gloves covered in iridescent sequin stripes, silver Tiffany & Co. jewelry, and a pair of six-inch platform…

10 Solid Outfits to Wear With Your Favorite Pair of Doc Martens

November 09, 2021 at 08:34PM There’s a reason Dr. Martens is so well known, hyping us up for collaborations with brands such as Heaven by Marc Jacobs, Keith Haring, Lazy Oaf, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, just to name a few throughout the years. The English label, which started all the way back in 1947, is more relevant than ever, with models, editors, and creatives making the brand’s combat boots a season-less wardrobe staple, while keeping the ‘90s Docs and socks combination alive and well. More than anything, we love the fact that they’re perfect to wear in the summer or winter. Even in the pouring rain, these trusty boots will keep you dry and make you look stylish, and they’ll work to complement any trends you get hung up on trying. If you’ve been searching for new takes on the shoe or ways to…

Lady Gaga and Bimini Bon Boulash Are Among the Best Dressed Stars on House of Gucci’s Red Carpet

November 09, 2021 at 07:21PM Starring Lady Gaga as Patrizia Reggiani and Adam Driver as Maurizio Gucci, House of Gucci is the high-fashion, true-crime indulgence we’ve been waiting for all year. Premiering on Tuesday Nov. 9 at London’s Odeon Luxe Leicester Square and on Nov. 24 in the United States, the movie is based on the book The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed (2000) by Sara Gay Forden and is directed by Ridley Scott, with costumes by Janty Yates. For the quintessential fashion film of 2021, the red carpet delivered on decadent outfits and lots and lots of Gucci. Lady Gaga of course stole the show in a sheer purple look that channeled “The Black Widow” herself, Patrizia. We also loved Bimini Bon Boulash’s black-velvet, one-shoulder dress with leather gloves and boots. And as a very…

Lady Gaga Says Her Most Controversial Outfit to Date Was “Thrilling to Wear”

November 09, 2021 at 07:02PM Lady Gaga has worn too many memorable looks to count over the years, but there was nothing quite like the raw meat dress she donned at the VMAs back in 2010. Over a decade after the red carpet appearance, the House of Gucci actress takes us back to the moment in a recent video for British Vogue. As she describes her “life in looks,” Gaga reflected on the controversial dress designed by Franc Fernandez, explaining how it came to fruition and how she feels about it today. “We decided to do the meat dress because I thought to myself, ‘If you were willing to die for your country, what does it matter how you identify?’” “It was thrilling to wear,” she shared, adding that contrary to popular belief, the dress was actually a garment, with a corset sewn…

The Crown Just Re-Created Princess Diana’s “Revenge Dress” With Scary Accuracy

November 09, 2021 at 05:44PM Filming is underway for The Crown’s fifth season, and the costumes promise to be second to none. Elizabeth Debicki, who you may remember from The Night Manager or The Great Gatsby, is set to play Princess Diana in her early 30s in the 1990s. (She takes over for Emma Corrin, who played the icon in the ‘80s.) Thanks to paparazzi images, we have a sneak peek of perhaps the royal’s most famous outfit, second to her wedding dress: her “revenge dress." But first, a little background. Princess Diana attended a gala at the famed Serpentine Gallery on June 29, 1994, wearing an off-the-shoulder black dress by Christina Stambolian, a Greek designer who established her brand in London. Earlier this same day, a documentary aired, in which Prince Charles admitted to having an affair during his marriage to Diana. The timing of the event, where the…
