I’m a Shopping Expert – Here’s What I’m Adding to My Prime “Try Before You Buy” Order

October 12, 2021 at 07:15PM As someone who writes about shopping for a living, I’m all about buying cute things from the comfort of my couch. That said, I’m not immune to the perils online shopping can bring. Convenient? Yes, yet there’s always the risk you’ll buy the wrong color or size. (Or, even worse, your delivery might look nothing like it did online.) And I haven’t even scratched the surface about returning items or requesting refunds. That’s what’s so great about Prime Wardrobe’s Try Before You Buy program. The e-tailer lets you pick up to eight beyond-cute pieces like boots, cozy sweaters, and flouncy fall dresses. Once your order arrives, you have seven days to decide whether you want to keep them. Don’t worry; you’ll only pay for what you keep, and the rest can be returned with a prepaid label. (Yes,…

See How TimothĂ©e Chalamet’s Willy Wonka Costume Compares to Those From Past Movies

October 12, 2021 at 07:04PM We finally have a first look at TimothĂ©e Chalamet as Willy Wonka, and boy, is it a treat. The 25-year-old actor, who’s set to portray the fictional chocolatier in Wonka come 2023, offered eager fans a glimpse at his getup for the Warner Bros. movie on Monday and was soon after spotted filming on set in England. Though TimothĂ©e will be playing a young version of Wonka before he opens his larger-than-life chocolate factory, his costume is instantly recognizable and draws inspiration from those worn by Gene Wilder in 1971’s Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory and Johnny Depp in 2005’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. TimothĂ©e’s take on the eccentric candy maker cherry-picks fashion details from the franchise’s past films - most noticeably, the berry-colored, velvety-smooth coat and top hat - but also weaves in subtle upgrades…

Sorry, Solids, We’re Fully Committed to a Plaid Romance For Fall Thanks to These Old Navy Tops

October 12, 2021 at 07:00PM When temperatures drop, breezy cotton tanks are often hidden away, either under an oversize sweater or in a drawer. But just ‘cause the air turns crisp doesn’t mean you need to give up on those tops or immediately turn to soft sweatshirts instead. Choosing a flannel gives you a little extra warmth and buttons to keep showing off your favorite lower layers a little longer, too. However, when we spotted so many pretty plaid options available at Old Navy, we forgot the previous tops we considered a solid choice and honed right in on long-sleeved shirts to wear solo plus patterned pieces to pop under blazers as well. Ahead, see 16 picks that check off all the boxes so this fall can be the best you ever plaid. Related: 23 Old Navy Pants That’ll Simply Fall Right in…

Every Gem on Suni Lee’s Encanto Costume Was Shimmering During Her Salsa on DWTS

October 12, 2021 at 05:20PM It’s Disney week on Dancing With the Stars, and we’ve got over-the-top costumes, accessories, and dance moves aplenty! On Monday night, the dynamic dancing duos linked up for Disney Heroes Night, and we saw Cinderella and Prince Charming, Tarzan and Jane, and many more. But one of our favorite performances and costumes of the night came from Suni Lee and Sasha Farber, who danced the salsa to “Colombia, Mi Encanto” from the upcoming Disney movie Encanto, out this Thanksgiving. The dance floor lit up with colors, and the backdrop resembled the illuminated Casa Madrigal from the movie. With each twirl, flip, and step that Suni took, her costume shimmered just like Mirabel Madrigal’s in the highly anticipated Disney movie. Adorned with butterflies and floral designs, Suni’s sheer mock turtleneck and turquoise silk skirt looked extremely similar to Mirabel’s…

Zendaya Shares Her Favorite Red Carpet Looks and First-Ever Premiere Outfit From Target: “I Felt Cool”

October 12, 2021 at 04:38PM Zendaya and Image Architect Law Roach have been finessing the star’s approach to red carpet dressing for years now, often referencing iconic fashion moments throughout history. Together, and with the help of designers, they have created some fantastical works of art, so for Zendaya to name just three of her favorite outfits is a pretty big deal. But when speaking with InStyle editor-in-chief Laura Brown, she did just that, explaining specifically why she has such a strong connection to the clothes she wears: “I think about red carpets as having their own characters and narratives. We build a little story for all the looks. It’s like an extension of my acting career in a weird way - you just pop this wig on or whatever it is. Clothes sometimes are very emotional, so I get to embody these…

Getting to Know Bilal Baig, the Lead of CBC’s New Series Sort Of

October 12, 2021 at 02:00PM Photography By Keri Anderson/Courtesy of CBC Growing up in Mississauga, Sort Of co-creator and star Bilal Baig always had one weapon they could wield against their bullies: their sense of humour. “I discovered in middle school that I could make people laugh, and that helped them to stop laughing at me, and, rather, laugh at the thing I was impersonating or trying to poke fun at,” they say. “That was powerful in terms of trying to survive middle school, which can be a very difficult place to survive.” Performing may not have come easily, but the writing always flowed. They were 23 when their first play, Acha Bacha, premiered in 2018, which Baig describes as “a beautiful love letter to queer and trans brown folk.” Soon after, Baig met Queer As Folk alumnus Fab Filippo while working on…

Sorry, Skinny Jeans—This Denim Trend Is Going to Be Huge

October 12, 2021 at 08:00AM Before we dive in, let’s just remember that in reality, skinny jeans could basically be considered a classic at this point. Sure, people may have varying views on the cut, but they’re more or less timeless. That said, a style on the other end of the denim spectrum continues to increase in popularity—and definitely will thrive come spring. Yep, we’re talking about those loose, straight-leg jeans.
