Post category:TB

September 29, 2021 at 06:01PM When it comes to music, there doesn’t seem to be anything American R&B singer-songwriter H.E.R. (née Gabriella Sarmiento Wilson) can’t do. The 24-year-old artist has a series of hit EPs and a successful album (the much-anticipated Back of My Mind dropped earlier this year) to her name, has performed at the Super Bowl and has already won four Grammys and an Oscar. But when it came to performing a full-length concert with an actual audience for the first time in about a year and half, how did she feel? “Nervous. I was so nervous,” she says, her laugh echoing out over the video chat. When we connect, it’s the day after H.E.R. had just performed two nights at the Hollywood Bowl alongside the Los Angeles Philharmonic, showing off her talents with rearranged versions of some of her greatest hits. “I…

September 29, 2021 at 05:35PM View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sunisa Lee (@sunisalee) We may be used to seeing Suni Lee in leos and track jackets, but turns out, she looks just as fabulous in streetwear and dressy outfits. The elite gymnast sported the cutest number while out and about in Los Angeles: a bright-pink Rebecca Vallance dress with an open back and an adorable giant bow. With the help of stylist Gabriela Tena, she paired the look with a gold nylon Prada purse, heart-shaped jewelry from Retrouvaí and L'atelier Nawbar, and chain heels from Kat Maconie that remind us of little gold medals. While Suni’s currently busy casually crushing Dancing With the Stars, it looks like she’s still honoring her Olympic win - as she should! The Olympian shared photos of the gorgeous outfit on Instagram on Thursday,…

September 29, 2021 at 05:42PM While scrolling Insta or TikTok lately, you may have noticed a flood of videos of women dousing their hair in gloopy-looking water before showing off shampoo-commercial-style rolling, glossy waves. Turns out, that murky-looking substance is rice water, and the centre of the latest viral beauty trend which influencers and celebs alike are claiming gives them ad-worthy hair.

September 29, 2021 at 05:29PM With the comeback of ballet flats and loafers, it’s only fitting that Mary Janes are the next “it” shoe of the season. Also known as bar shoes or doll shoes, the classic footwear was initially designed for children, but it soon became popular among women of many generations. Nowadays the shoes come in a variety of styles, from easygoing flats, platform pumps to classic low heels. In recent years, these shoes have shown up on runways, streets and celebrities. Notably, Zoë Kravitz is often spotted on the streets of Brooklyn in her favourite The Row Ava flats, paired with airy babydoll dresses, relaxed trousers or pleated mini skirts. Although these shoes are commonly associated with women’s fashion, they have been embraced by everyone, with the likes of Harry Styles and Tyler the Creator donning them on red carpets…

The Duchess of Cambridge Just Wore the Most Daring Colour Trend

September 29, 2021 at 04:55PM One would never really describe Kate Middleton’s style as divisive or challenging. She is the pied piper of pretty. She is the leader when it comes to lovely dresses and delightful coats. More often than not, she plays it safe in her favourite pumps and beloved trinket jewellery. It’s all par for the royal course, we know, but every now and then, the Duchess of Cambridge goes through a more daring streak and when it happens, you can be sure that our editors become available to pore over every detail. Hot on the heels of a rather “wow” appearance last night for the premiere of the latest Bond movie, No Time to Die, the DoC followed up her stellar golden caped gown from Jenny Packham with another British designer today. Choosing a vibrant purple trouser suit from Emilia Wickstead was an inspired and rather bold move…

Rosé Taking Shots Before Looking So Chic at the Saint Laurent Show Is Why We Bow Down

September 29, 2021 at 05:15PM Looking at photos of Rosé at the latest Saint Laurent show, you’d never guess she was nervous. So much so, that she sought help from a little social lubricant, tequila, moments before arriving. “Tequila shots before the show, because I’m nervous,” she said on Instagram Stories. Rosé attended Saint Laurent’s spring 2022 show during Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday looking impossibly cool in a sheer black minidress, tights, knee-high boots, and gold chainlink jewelry all by the brand. It’s been a whirlwind few months for the Blackpink singer, who made her solo debut with R in March, and recently attended the Met Gala with Saint Laurent creative director Anthony Vaccarello. Rosé was also announced as a global ambassador for Tiffany & Co. earlier this year, with her campaign now popping up on billboards. See photos from her latest…

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…

I’ve Convinced All of My Friends to Buy This $15 Walmart Handbag

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…
