There’s a Very Personal Backstory to Naomi Osaka’s Elaborate Louis Vuitton Met Gala Dress

September 14, 2021 at 12:56AM Naomi Osaka is here to make a statement. On Monday night, the four-time Grand Slam champion swapped her tennis gear for designer fashion at the 2021 Met Gala. Naomi is one of the co-chairs of the annual fashion event, and as a Louis Vuitton ambassador, it only made sense that she would team up with the brand for a very special Met Gala dress. Naomi wore a dress designed by Nicolas Ghesquière and her older sister, Mari Osaka. “Americana to me means a mix of all cultures, and this look incorporates both of my heritages: Haitian and Japanese,” she said during her red carpet interview. The silk corset dress features a beautiful red bow and a black layered cape with 22 ruffles, to be exact! According to Vogue, the design of the dress began as a “digital watercolor…

I Tested 8 Natural Deodorants At Spin Class– This Was The Standout Winner

September 14, 2021 I have to admit, when natural deodorants started gaining more traction in the beauty world, I was not interested. As a profuse sweater I really didn’t think that natural deodorants could offer what I needed to stop me feeling like a hot sweaty mess, especially after exercise. However, it’s hard to ignore the benefits. All natural deodorants that I’ve tried use mainly naturally-sourced ingredients like arrowroot flour and coconut oil to neutralise any odour your pits produce. Plus, many of them have a level of sustainability to their production, whether they are easy to refill, use less or no plastics or opt for sustainably-sourced ingredients.Despite how great these new fangle deodorants sound, there’s one thing that cannot be escaped. All natural deodorants stay clear of aluminium which is what has been used for years to block sweat glands, and is…

Dan Levy Goes to His First Met, Makes a Statement For the LGBTQ+ Community That Speaks Volumes

September 13, 2021 at 11:53PM Before even hitting the red carpet at the 2021 Met Gala, Schitt’s Creek creator and star Dan Levy made sure his fans knew the meaning behind his look, which honors American fashion. Levy tapped Loewe designer Jonathan Anderson to collaborate on a blue embellished and beaded outfit that pays homage to multimedia artist David Wojnarowicz’s piece that features two men kissing, which is named after a homophobic cartoon he found. By wearing this clothing version of it - in a vibrant look that will certainly stay on our minds all night long - Levy celebrates the hope and joy of the queer community.
