Karrueche’s Suit at the CFDA Fashion Awards Wins in the Sharpest Look Category

November 11, 2021 at 03:14AM A cool interpretation of the cutout trend could be spotted on the red carpet of the CFDA Awards when Karrueche Tran arrived at The Grill Room. The model, who’s shown a penchant for open-back ensembles and elegant skin reveals, stepped out in a fitted black suit. Designer Latoia Fitzgerald, who recently made her Lionne Runway debut, figured out how to zhoosh up a traditional suit, and found the perfect model to don her creation. Karrueche’s suit features two side cutouts near the waist and a playful open back. The top half of the suit could pass as a cropped blazer, but it is actually attached to floor-length pants, making for an extremely polished look. Karrueche kept the rest simple with a crisp white button-down and some heels. Clearly, the designer and model duo had fun coming up with…

Anya Taylor-Joy’s Oscar de la Renta Suit Says, “I’m Dressed to Receive My CFDA Award”

November 11, 2021 at 02:06AM If you’re going to receive an award, then you have to dress the part. Anya Taylor-Joy and her stylist Paul Burgo have shown yet again that they understand this well. The Queen’s Gambit and Last Night in Soho actress showed up to this year’s historic CFDA Fashion Awards in a purple Oscar de La Renta suit that packs serious oomph. Featuring a belted blazer and a miniskirt, the two-piece set dials up the allure, while the accessories (matching leopard gloves and hat) bring a theatrical elegance to the ensemble. New York-based brand Gigi Burris Millinery created a custom hat for the 25-year-old star, designed in a vintage silhouette and embellished with hand draped silk veiling. Basically, Anya Taylor-Joy told us she’s about to receive an award without telling us she’s about to receive an award. Scroll on for…

Law Roach Says Zendaya Had “Big Shoes to Fill” at the CFDAs, So That Explains the Epic Skirt

November 11, 2021 at 01:22AM “Zendaya and I are really grateful that people love what we do and what we’ve done through the years in using clothes to tell stories.” “Anytime I can lend my name or my platform to help elevate new emerging talent in fashion, it’s going to be a yes for me,” Zendaya’s stylist and Image Architect Law Roach told POPSUGAR over the phone five days before he’d showed up to the CFDA Fashion Awards with Zendaya, fashion icon of the year dressed head-to-toe in Vera Wang Haute, on his arm. Law had been referring to his recent participation in Shein’s design competition, for which he acted as guest judge and mentored an up-and-coming designer. But his presence and influence at the CFDAs achieves the exact same thing. Through his work dressing Zendaya and his recognition in the industry (he…

Meghan Markle Just Wore a Plunging Gown With a Thigh-High Slit on the Red Carpet

November 11, 2021 at 12:11AM Ever since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down from their official royal duties, they rarely glam it up at fancy events anymore—that is, until now. Tonight, the duo made a rare red carpet appearance to attend the 2021 Salute to Freedom Gala at the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum in New York City. For the gala, Markle wore a stunning red Carolina Herrera gown that deserves to be seen at all angles. In the front, it features a plunging neckline and a thigh-high slit, while in the back it boasts a long, dramatic train.

Taking Notes on How to Make a Royal Entrance From Meghan Markle at the Freedom Gala

November 11, 2021 at 12:38AM Prince Harry may be presenting the inaugural Intrepid Valor Awards tonight, but Meghan Markle is the one who stole the spotlight. We love a train moment, and the Duchess of Sussex just served us in New York. The 40-year-old mother of two dazzled in a stunning halterneck gown at the 2021 Salute To Freedom Gala. The fiery red dress moved beautifully as Meghan graced the red carpet with her husband, on their way to meet with Valor Award recipients. Meghan’s gown falls elegantly at her feet, but there’s a twist - it features a thigh-high split running up to the middle of the gown. As if the front wasn’t already spectacular, the back of the gown features a voluminous skirt and a dramatic train, only on par with a member of the royal family. Meghan completed her look…

Adele Is an Angel Among Mere Mortals in This All-White, Crystal-Embellished Pantsuit

November 10, 2021 at 11:25PM We didn’t necessarily need more proof that Adele descended to Earth straight from heaven above, but she delivers ample verification in her forthcoming Adele One Night Only TV special. In sneak-peek footage from the two-hour program, which airs on CBS and Paramount+ on Nov. 14, the “Easy on Me” singer looks positively angelic in an all-white ensemble for her sit-down interview with Oprah Winfrey. Seemingly playing into those ongoing engagement rumors, Adele wears a white power suit that says, “Psh, yeah, I heard the goss, and I’m gonna add fuel to the fire with this bridal-ready look - take that!” Her suit features a glam, very Adele-approved touch: shiny crystal embellishments lining both the jacket and pants. The star really leaned into her defiance of the outdated “no white after Labor Day” rule when choosing her shoes, opting…
