Amandla Stenberg Is the Voice of a Generation, so Listen Up

September 30, 2021 at 06:00AM It’s nearly impossible to be anonymous in our hyper-connected world. While millennials have been flouted as early adopters of technology to a detrimental degree, Gen Zers were born into the age of digital media. They know that what gets published on the internet stays on the internet. That’s a fact of the 21st century that many young people have embraced, including actress, singer, and activist Amandla Stenberg. Stenberg is many things, but she’s certainly not your average starlet. The 22-year-old began her career with Disney at age 4 and burst onto the young Hollywood scene as Rue, the beloved tribute from District 11 in the first Hunger Games movie. More recently, Stenberg played Starr Carter in the fantastic 2018 adaptation of The Hate U Give, which garnered even more visibility for her as a voice of Gen Z and…

12 “Quiet” Luxury Buys You’ll Treasure for Years and Years

September 30, 2021 at 06:00AM Two words I have heard being used a lot this autumn by fashion buyers is “quiet luxury." This aesthetic is certainly nothing new, as it is a phrase that perfectly describes the Phoebe Philo era at Celine and the ethos behind Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen’s 14-year-old brand The Row. However this move towards classic, elevated pieces, that are beautiful and special, but not too shouty or flashy, is particularly resonating in 2021.Last autumn there was a shift towards more classic pieces and this customer’s mindset is invest now and wear forever. "Although dressing up means something different now, there are still excuses to wear something a bit more glamourous, there are plenty of evening options that are comfortable, elegant and ideally suited for a more relaxed occasion such as entertaining at home,"Cassie Smart, Head of Womenswear Buying, at…

Wait, These Jeans From Old Navy Are Only $45, and They’re Nicer Than My Designer Denim

September 29, 2021 at 11:10PM I remember it like it was yesterday. I was going into fifth grade, and I was shopping for new school clothes. I had it all - the Abercrombie shirts, the Limited Too skirts, and the platform Sketchers. All that was missing were jeans, and jean shopping was the bane of my existence (that along with middle school math). Finding jeans has always been a struggle for me, and it hasn’t gotten any easier. I have a petite frame, so getting a pair of jeans that is small enough around the waist and short enough at the hem is relatively tricky. Pants are either too baggy, too long, or too ill-fitting on my body, and after trying countless pairs, I had all but given up and decided to just stick with the so-so jeans I didn’t love. Since jeans…

Kate Middleton was the True Bond Girl at the Premiere for No Time to Die

September 29, 2021 at 08:32PM Leave it to Kate Middleton to show up at the No Time to Die premiere and steal the proverbial thunder from all its stars. For release of the fifth James Bond film starring Daniel Craig, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge graced us with their presence on the red carpet. While the film stars came to slay — Ana de Armas and LĂ©a Seydoux both sparkled in Louis Vuitton and Chopard, Daniel Craig donned a pink suede jacket, and Lashana Lynch wore a Vivienne Westwood ensemble — Kate Middleton outdid them all in a golden Jenny Packham gown. Clearly, this Royal has missed dressing up.
