September 29, 2021 at 04:32PM Before Maria Grazia Chiuri wowed attendees with her joyful runway of graphic, sparkly, and colorblock ensembles - think sharply tailored skirt suits and disco-inspired minidresses - K-pop star Jisoo totally stole the spotlight. The Blackpink singer made her Paris Fashion Week debut at the Dior womenswear spring/summer 2022 show, and we all thought she might as well have walked down the runway. The brand’s global ambassador arrived at the Jardin des Tuileries in a black and white embroidered minidress from the Dior Resort 2021 collection and a micro Lady Dior bag. She then sat front row next to the chairman and CEO of Christian Dior Couture, Pietro Beccari, demonstrating her prominent position within the storied French house. Jisoo has been working with Dior since 2019, but this was her first time attending a show in person. In a…

September 29, 2021 at 04:30PM As much as I adore the thrill of splurging on a designer handbag, I admit to feeling a similar rush when I find a deal on a less expensive look-alike. Sure, I still get an uneasy feeling when I add a luxury dupe to my shopping cart, thinking, “What if it’s too good to be true?” but more often than not, I’m impressed by my financially savvy finds. This all-too-familiar feeling is precisely why I’m writing this article: to rave about Walmart’s Time and Tru Scrunchie Shoulder Bag ($15) that’s selling out way too quickly, FYI. It looks exactly like a particular scrunched shoulder bag that Emily Ratajkowski and Gigi Hadid frequently wear, and it’s loved for its aesthetically pleasing and oh-so-photogenic silhouette. Better yet, the wildly affordable Walmart version comes in seven colors that range from a…

September 29, 2021 at 03:12PM Ana de Armas was one of the many celebrities who wowed us with their red carpet fashion at the world premiere for No Time to Die, which was held at Royal Albert Hall in London last night. From shimmering sequined gowns to luxe velvet tuxedo jackets, it was clear the stars were excited to get dressed up for the occasion - and to pay homage to the glamour of the James Bond franchise. De Armas, however, who wore a custom Louis Vuitton gown, also seemed to want to pay homage to the Bond girls who came before her with her sartorial selection for the night. De Armas’s black Vuitton dress featured a plunging neckline, thigh-high slit, and embellished straps. And while many of her fellow Bond girls have worn slinky black dresses in the films, this dress seems…

September 29, 2021 at 02:56PM Well folks, after what feels like five years (OK, maybe it was only a few months), No Time to Die is finally here. And after such a long wait, it was only fitting that the world premiere of Daniel Craig’s fifth and final James Bond film was a big celebration. Held at Royal Albert Hall in London, every major celebrity in the UK - be it actor, athlete, royal, or Peloton instructor (Leanne Hainsby was there!) - was in attendance. Despite the torrential rain, the stars made it a point to dazzle with their red carpet fashion choices. Always one for bold color, actor Lashana Lynch stole the show in a vibrant yellow gown by fellow Brit, designer Vivienne Westwood. Phoebe Waller-Bridge returned to the red carpet in a form-fitting black sequined Azzaro jumpsuit, and tennis player Emma…

September 29, 2021 at 02:45PM Lashana Lynch is the first woman actor to play a 007 agent in the James Bond series. To celebrate this milestone, Lynch wore a custom Vivienne Westwood gown to the No Time to Die premiere at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Tuesday, Sept. 28 that honored her and the Bond series’ ancestral home - Jamaica.

September 29, 2021 at 01:00PM The wait is (nearly) over. Knix, the beloved Canadian intimate brand, is back again with their third coveted Papaya Box, made in collaboration with Sarah Nicole Landry of The Birds Papaya. From a shiny faux-leather bodysuit to the brand’s first pair of leggings, Landry has helped the brand curate and bundle some of its most unique and sought-after pieces. After their first box sold out in just 27 minutes back in October 2020, the brand quickly re-stocked and decided to start planning for a second edition, which came out this past June. Now, they’re nearly ready to launch their third this Sunday, October 3rd—so get your refresh button ready. “We had a 30,000 person waitlist, and we sold out in less than half an hour,” says Landry. “It was incredible.

I Think This Dress Length Is the Easiest to Wear With Boots

September 29, 2021 at 08:00AM I don’t have a fashion crystal ball, sadly, so I can’t tell you what the weather will be in a few weeks’ time. But you know what I can tell you? In a little under a month, we’re going to be in autumn, and that, my friends, is what I like to call midi-dress time. For starters, it’s the best length whatever your height. It’s also great for the slightly warmer autumn days but also a great option for cooler months, making it the ideal outfit option for the changeable weather we’re currently experiencing. What I’m saying is, and there’s no fighting me on this, the midi dress reigns supreme. Hands down, it’s also the best frock to wear with boots.In short, it is the Goldilocks of dresses—not too long and not too short, which makes it ideal for showing off…

The Over-50 Fashion Icons With the Freshest Style

September 29, 2021 at 08:00AM Personal style can be mastered at any age—there is no magic number or milestone birthday that can claim to be the pivotal point. Some lucky fashion lovers manage to find their signature look early on and hold onto it throughout their lives, adjusting and updating it ever so slightly to suit the changing times and trends. For others, understanding the outfits and clothes you feel most comfortable in can be a more arduous and experimental process.Whichever camp you reside in, there’s no denying that as you get older, your tastes and wardrobe needs change. For example, aged 33, I now realise that all of the cheaper, trend-ticking items I bought on the high street in my 20s haven’t stood up, so I’m endeavouring to buy less and buy better. My mum, who is in her 70s, is still…

25 Stunning Haircuts Celebs in Their 50s Always Ask For

Post category:TB

September 29, 2021 at 08:00AM We’ve encountered enough badass women in their 40s, 50, 60s, and beyond to know that there are tons of outdated clichés about aging. Gone are the days where women are pressured to dress a certain way the second we hit age 40 or stop wearing our favorite makeup. (Although, there are formulas that work better for mature skin.) The general attitude around aging has seen a major shift for the better in recent years, and there’s a sense of liberation that’s come along with it that we absolutely love. While the number of years we’ve been on this earth doesn’t have to control our lives, there are, indeed, some unavoidable shifts that come up the further along we get, including changes to our hair. For this reason, many women start to consider different haircuts by the time we hit age 50.“The hair sometimes tends to…

September 29, 2021 at 08:00AM I’m lucky enough in my job to have access to celebrity facialists, top beauty brands and the best experts in the industry, but I’ve noticed more and more that it’s A-listers themselves who are becoming all the more influential when it comes to serving up legitimately good beauty advice. Of course, celebrities like Beyoncé and Jennifer Aniston are surrounded by the beauty industry’s cream of the crop on a daily basis—from makeup artists to hairstylists—so it’s really no surprise that they’ve picked up some expert beauty tips along the way. There’s one celebrity in particular, however, whose skincare knowledge I trust more than most: Victoria Beckham.With her very own beauty line under her belt and a dedicated beauty reel of product recommendations and top tips on her Instagram, Beckham’s love of all things beauty is obvious. Her passion for products combined with how open she has…
