True Story: Seeing Elle Fanning in This Sheer Cutout Dress Stopped Me Dead in My Tracks

November 08, 2021 at 07:01PM Could Elle Fanning be ushering in a brand-new style era? It certainly seemed so when the 23-year-old Maleficent star waltzed the red (though technically emerald) carpet at the 2021 LACMA Art + Film Gala in a getup that eschewed her usual penchant for dreamy pastels and delicate floral patterns. While attending the star-studded event in Los Angeles, Elle oozed goth goddess energy in a sheer black gown that, similar to outfits worn by most other attendees, is the brainchild of Gucci Creative Director Alessandro Michele. The edgy dress featured numerous cutouts - on the sleeves, sides, and, most noticeably, the back - and a completely see-through skirt. Hot damn, we see you, Elle! Stylist Samantha McMillen helped the star choose her accessories for the occasion: black flower hair clips secured into her slicked-back bun, a gold clutch, chunky…

Grain-Free Banana Protein Pancakes

Grain-Free Banana Protein PancakesNovember 08, 2021 at 05:00PM The absolute best banana protein pancakes recipe you’ll try. Made with vanilla protein, egg, banana and a few other simple ingredients, these grain-free banana protein pancakes will become your new favorite high-protein breakfast recipe. With the holidays upon us it’s easy to get really wrapped up in Thanksgiving and Holiday recipes. Don’t get me wrong. I love me a good cornbread and peppermint cookie, but we also have to continue our daily lives during this time and it’s not all pumpkin spice and mocha all day, everyday. The other day these grain-free banana protein pancakes got a nice little boost in traffic (they were originally posted in July of 2013!) and it was a total throwback for me. I hadn’t made them in so long but the popularity made me want to try them again.…

Roxy Earle is Over the Plus-Size Label

November 08, 2021 at 05:51PM Roxy Earle’s ethos is quite simple: “Everything that I work towards is about making women feel good in their mind, body and soul.” It’s what’s driven her success on the short-lived Real Housewives of Toronto, as she became a fan-favourite for not conforming to reality TV’s unspoken size zero mandate. It’s what’s led to the creation of the #MySizeRox social media community, where women of all ages and sizes share body positive messages and photos. And it’s now fueled the eight-piece Roxy Earle Joe Fresh holiday collection, which goes up to 3X sizing and includes flutter-sleeve sweaters, sequinned skirts and dresses, and extra wide boots. “I know what it feels like to be that girl in the change room, and you can’t find anything that fits, let alone something that looks good,” says Earle over video chat. “It’s just…

Elizabeth Debicki Looks Just Like Princess Diana Herself in a “Revenge Dress” Replica

November 08, 2021 at 05:04PM As one Twitter user has declared, we’ve now officially reached the Diana revenge dress era of The Crown. Over the weekend, Elizabeth Debicki, who replaces Emma Corrin as Princess Diana in the Netflix show’s upcoming fifth season, was spotted dressed as the royal, but not just in any look - the actress was wearing a re-creation of one of Diana’s most iconic outfits, a sexy LBD with an off-the-shoulder neckline that was famously dubbed the “revenge dress.” Diana chose the number, designed by Christina Stambolian, for a Vanity Fair party in June 1994, the same night Prince Charles confessed to being unfaithful during his marriage in a tell-all documentary. She paired the form-fitting dress with a stunning multi-layered pearl choker decorated with a sapphire and diamonds, which The Crown also replicated, according to the photos of Elizabeth on…

Barbie Ferreira Makes Us Wonder: Are Gloves the Holiday Accessory Du Jour?

November 08, 2021 at 04:40PM Model and Euphoria star Barbie Ferreira continues to take on groundbreaking fashion trends with the help of her stylist Chris Horan. The duo, along with assistant Greer Heavrin, tapped Asian-owned brand Kim Shui for a dress set that goes far beyond a simple slip and cardigan combination. Shui plays with graphic prints across sheer, mesh fabric to make a statement, and her red rose tube dress comes with a pair of gloves, one tall and one short, to bring the romantic ensemble to the next level. Barbie teamed her gown with Christian Louboutin pointed-toe patent pumps and a handmade orb pendant necklace from Misho, which is described as “modern architecture for the body.” Barbie makes us wonder if this holiday season, perhaps it isn’t a flashy shoe, statement coat, or work-of-art bag we should invest in, but gloves…
