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…

November 09, 2021 at 05:14PM When luxury handbags come to mind, particularly styles that even the trendiest celebrities are racing to get their hands on, you wouldn’t be far off in assuming the designs typically come with a price tag of $1,000 or higher. However, one emerging brand in particular has already garnered the attention of stylish celebs such as Saweetie and Doja Cat, and luckily, his designs come at prices that are a little less steep for your bank account. “With every move we make, we’ll always try to elevate the brand and take it to a new height.” If you thought Brandon Blackwood, the 30-year-old designer behind the eponymous accessories label, was done going viral for his work, his newest collection begs you to think again.

I’m Absolutely Losing Control Over Ciara’s Sexy All-Leather Look to Honor Missy Elliott

November 09, 2021 at 04:59PM When you’re honoring the timeless talent and style of Missy Elliott, you have no choice but to include some form of leather in your outfit. On Monday, Ciara celebrated the career of her “mentor and big sister” Missy as she received her Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and there’s no doubt that she understood the assignment. Ciara donned an all-leather pantsuit with a sleek bustier top, an edgy collar with sleeves, and loose pants that had belts wrapped around each of her ankles. Missy has rocked many a leather ensemble throughout her career, and Ciara’s take on her mentor’s style is making us do a double take. The two have collaborated on some of the most epic pump-up songs of the modern day, like “Lose Control” and “1, 2 Step,” and Ciara did not hold back…

Megan Thee Stallion’s Dress Has a Turtleneck and Gloves, but That Massive Cutout Is Making Us Blush

November 09, 2021 at 04:07PM Megan Thee Stallion was honored as one of Glamour’s Women of the Year at the magazine’s celebration Monday night, so it was only appropriate that she wore a look fit for a winner. The rapper stunned in a slinky black turtleneck dress with attached gloves, showing skin by way of an asymmetrical cutout across the waist and sleeves. How good is this architectural approach to a classic gown? Emmy Award-winning costume designer Zerina Akers styled Megan’s custom MĂ´not look, from the brand’s spring 2022 collection, with eight-carat diamond earrings by Vhernier, a jewel-encrusted clutch, and matching sparkly heels. Lori Harvey also recently wore a similar blush-worthy dress from MĂ´not for her SKN by LH launch party, offering some sizable hip cutouts and thigh slits. “The thing I love most about Meg is how she’s covered in confidence, dripping…

The Travis Scott Astroworld Tragedy is Sparking Calls to Abolish Celebrity Culture

November 09, 2021 at 01:08PM Travis Scott and Drake are reportedly facing multiple lawsuits after eight people were killed and scores more injured in a crowd surge at Scott’s Astroworld Festival in Houston, Texas. As we’ve all come to learn, the event descended into chaos on November 5 when the crowd pushed toward the stage during Scott’s set, the pressure leaving some attendees unable to breathe, witnesses say. “The crowd, for whatever reason, began to push and surge towards the front of the stage, which caused the people in the front to be compressed — they were unable to escape that situation,” Houston fire chief Sam Peña told CNN. Those who died range from the ages of 27 to 14 years old. Of the roughly 50,000 people that attended the show, 25 were hospitalized, the youngest patient just 10 years old, as reported…

October 2021 Reads

October 2021 ReadsNovember 09, 2021 at 11:00AM Sharing the books I read in October and if I think they’re worth it! Another month, another 3 books in the yearly tally. To be totally honest, this month’s reading didn’t feel as robust as previous ones: one was a repeat book and one is a cookbook. It was the Pilot’s birthday, P’s birthday, Halloween, and what feels like a thousand other things, so even though it was a busy month, I’m glad this goal encouraged me to stick with it. I’m excited to read more in November! Here’s what I enjoyed in October and if I’d recommend these. October 2021 Reads 1. The Silent Patient I was nervous to read this one, because I typically stay away from gory, scary, and violent books/movies. They give me bad dreams, and with the Pilot’s travel schedule, I just…
