The Coolest Personal Shoppers on the Only Autumn Items That Matter

September 15, 2021 at 05:17AM Who does a fashion editor trust for style advice? These days, I’m all about tapping the luxury world’s top personal shoppers. They’re the ones with direct lines to the biggest and coolest brands, the gurus who can track down a special sold-out item when the rest of us gave up months ago, and the inside experts getting a detailed view of what people with big budgets (both celebs and non-celebs) are putting first dibs on ahead of a new season. They are, in essence, a more connected link between what’s being created and what consumers are actually buying in real time, and with the kind of access they have to fabulous things, you can bet your bottom dollar they are fussy as hell. Ergo, their recommendations should be accepted as gospel.The prominence of the personal shopper is rising, and the concept is diversifying. Once upon a time, I thought…

I Test Drove The Frankie Shop’s New Arrivals, and What the Hell They’re Awesome

September 15, 2021 at 05:00AM Welcome to The Great Try-On. With fall on the horizon, we seized the opportunity to try on some of the best fall pieces from some of your favourite brands, documenting the process along the way. We believe that the most foolproof way to shop online is to see an item IRL and to read candid reviews, so we hope that this leads you to some successful autumn purchases. I felt like I won the jackpot when our senior editor Allyson Payer told me I was the lucky editor who would get to test drive The Frankie Shop’s new arrivals. It’s a fashion person’s brand (industry insiders are very loyal followers), but their minimal-cool aesthetic is approachable to a wider spectrum of people too. I also love how the brand feels perfectly current, but is steers away from super trendy. In other words, once you…

I Found My Perfect Pair of Jeans—Here Are 5 Ways I’m Styling Them for Autumn

September 15, 2021 at 05:00AM I’ve often gravitated towards a more minimalist style, so my wardrobe consists of chic basics that I can rewear. While my style tends to vary based on my mood, I like wearing neutrals the most, as I find it easier to mix and match different styles together to dress a piece of clothing up or down. That said, the item I want to talk about today is white jeans. It can often be a divisive piece. For a long time, a lot of people have been frightened of wearing them, not least because they can get dirty quickly. They can also be off-putting because some are unsure of how to style them and believe they’re only good for the summer months.But I have one pair of white jeans, and they are so versatile and have taken me through each season.…

I Need a Telescope to See All the “Celestial Crystals” on Anok Yai’s Met Gala Gown

September 15, 2021 at 01:40AM The 2019 Met Gala’s “Camp” theme still had a prominent influence on many of this year’s attendees, but many of those who understood the 2021 Met Gala’s “In America” assignment took inspiration from some of history’s most influential stars. Much like Yara Shahidi showing up in a head-to-toe Dior outfit inspired by Josephine Baker, model Anok Yai also gave a nod to the 1920s entertainer and civil rights activist. Channeling pique “Old Hollywood” glam, Anok posed on the Costume Institute steps in a figure-hugging Oscar de La Renta dress from the Spring 2022 collection. While Anok and Yara’s outfits couldn’t have been more different, both paid an honorable tribute to the Jazz Age star. Described as a “skimming celestial crystal gown” by the Oscar de La Renta Instagram page, the dress features a plunging neckline and crystal designs…

Nikkie Tutorials’s Met Gala Gown Was an Homage to Transgender Activist Marsha P. Johnson

September 15, 2021 at 12:55AM The 2021 Met Gala was packed with celebrities making impassioned fashion statments and YouTuber Nikkie Tutorials, aka Nikkie de Jager, took the opportunity to pay tribute to one of the most iconic figures in LGBTQ+ history: transgender activist Marsha P. Johnson. Nikkie’s turquoise tulle gown, courtesy of Edwin Oudshoorn Couture, was embellished with pink, red, and yellow flowers that beautifully matched her golden headpieces brimming with handmade silk flowers, a nod to Marsha’s signature flower crown. Further down, the dress, styled by Marja Bennenbroek and Brandon M. Garr, was pinned with a large teal and gold bow embroidered with the words “Pay It No Mind,” the meaning behind Marsha’s middle initial and her typical response to questions about her gender. “Marsha P. Johnson paved the way for so many of us, and I hope I made my community…

All Eyes Were Glued on Kate Hudson’s Ginormous New Engagement Ring at the Met Gala

September 14, 2021 at 10:25PM Kate Hudson has been frosted - but this time, we’re not talking about the Isadora Diamond. The How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days actress announced her engagement to longtime boyfriend Danny Fujikawa on Monday afternoon and wound up debuting her engagement ring hours later on the Met Gala red carpet. Talk about a grand reveal! Although Kate’s sparkler was mostly concealed under the feathered sleeves of her blush-pink Michael Kors robe, the 42-year-old star quickly flashed it for the cameras at one point, and we’re a bit surprised it didn’t blind the photographers. Now for some specifics about Kate’s newest accessory. The diamond itself appears to be light brown in color, and it’s nearly as wide as her entire ring finger. The enormous cushion-cut stone is set on a thin, rose-gold band encrusted with dozens of…
