17 Models to Know Now – and Let’s Stop Calling Them Plus Size, Please

September 07, 2021 at 07:41PM The cultural definition of beauty has slowly started to evolve, and better late than never. The fact that Ashley Graham is now universally recognized as a household name speaks to such progress. And if you don’t know who that is by now, well, you should fix that as soon as humanly possible. We’re living in a time when people are (finally) holding brands and publications accountable and challenging what have long been considered the “classic” American standards of beauty, and I for one absolutely love to see it. There is, of course, infinite amounts of more work to be done. However, it’s reason enough for us to celebrate what we are seeing: more diversity and inclusion in the modeling industry than ever before. In order to keep pushing the needle forward, we must all collectively move away from…

The Met Gala Red Carpet Will Be Live Streamed – Here’s How (and When) to Watch

September 07, 2021 at 04:09PM 2021 brings a new sort of Met Gala, which has never been live streamed. While Vogue has always uploaded red carpet interviews to the magazine’s YouTube channel the following day, never before have we been able to tune into the event in real time. But thanks to actor and artist Keke Palmer and Broad City’s Ilana Glazer, we have two energetic hosts bringing us straight to the scene at the famous steps on Monday, Sept. 13. The live stream begins at 5:30 p.m. ET, which you can watch at vogue.com to see how celebrities and cochairs TimothĂ©e Chalamet, Billie Eilish, Amanda Gorman, and Naomi Osaka interpret the “American Independence” dress code.

Zendaya’s Vivacious AlaĂŻa Co-ord Is the Definition of Understanding the Assignment

September 07, 2021 at 04:03PM Zendaya has entered a new, glamorous era of her red carpet style. Starting her series of iconic looks at Venice Film Festival in a leather Balmain wet-look dress, the star took our breath away yet again in a decadent aubergine coordinated set from AlaĂŻa’s winter/spring 2022 collection for the premiere of Dune. According to AlaĂŻa, “She is wearing a bolero and mermaid perforated knitted skirt in aubergine from Pieter Mulier’s first collection for the house.” And what an incredible start to Mulier’s first collection for the legendary house, of which we believe that founding designer Azzedine AlaĂŻa would be proud. Zendaya’s trailblazing stylist, Image Architect Law Roach, also commented on his client and dear friend’s spectacular look, sharing with fans that Zendaya is now “a grown woman.” Zendaya completed her look with Jimmy Choo pumps, and jewelry by…

Yes, Harry Styles’s Love on Tour Means He’s Going Shirtless in Custom Gucci

September 07, 2021 at 03:30PM Although Harry Styles’s original Love on Tour dates included US shows in 2020, the singer rescheduled his performances due to the pandemic. What wasn’t rescheduled? The inevitable collaboration with Gucci’s Alessandro Michele on Harry’s costumes. Styles has been a longtime friend and muse to the designer for years, so it’s no surprise that his team customized a few incredible outfits. The first comes with a metallic, fringe vest in a jewel-tone pink, which is finished in a satin, magenta interior to match the flared trousers. Harry channeled the late ‘70s in these co-ords, accessorizing the look with a fistful of chunky rings and nude, patent heeled boots, which were also courtesy of the Milan-based fashion house. “Excited to show what we were going to do in 2020 and some additional fun new looks❤️❤️❤️,” stylist Harry Lambert wrote on…

Cashew Butter [with Cinnamon]

Cashew Butter [with Cinnamon]September 07, 2021 at 10:00AM Ever wondered how to make cashew butter? This cinnamon cashew butter is the ultimate creamy topping for toast, apples, granola or whatever your heart desires and is made with just 5 simple ingredients! C likes to joke that I roped him in in the early days by baking him decadent sweet treats and then a few years into our relationship I flipped at 180 and went hardcore healthy. He isn’t wrong. I have always loved to bake and especially love a good decadent dessert. I don’t share many of these recipes on here, and TBH rarely bake super decadent foods these days but occasionally I still do. Most of the time though I am coming up with healthier swaps or copycats that could fool even C’s sweet tooth. One of C’s favorite foods and my…

Dakota Johnson Just Wore the Autumn Outfit I’m Copying Head to Toe

September 07, 2021 at 11:04AM I have to admit, I don’t look to celebrities all that often for style guidance. Despite the fact that I love poring over red carpet pictures and I’ll be endlessly enthralled and delighted by what avant garde A listers choose to wear for a casual date night (Rihanna, I'm talking about you), in general, I just don't connect with the ĂĽber-luxury and perfectly styled finish you’ll get from most famous women in the spotlight. However, one actress that does always pique my interest is Dakota Johnson. She has a very laid back approach to dressing for her public appearances, and while she can dial up the va-va-voom for Venice Film Festival, she’s equally adept at flinging on a cool jacket, pair of jeans and flat boots, creating the kind of outfits one could actually recreate quite easily. In the same vein…

I Speak to Dermatologists Every Day—These Are the Brands They Always Recommend

September 07, 2021 at 08:00AM The best thing about being a beauty editor is that I get the opportunity to speak with some of the world’s top beauty experts basically every single day. From celebrity makeup artists to Harley Street surgeons, I am forever picking the brains of experts in a bid to learn everything there is to know about beauty. And while picking up different makeup tips and tricks is wonderful, the one thing I am always most fascinated by is the sort of products skin experts swear by.There’s no doubt that shopping for skincare can be daunting and often frustrating, and not just because of the abundance of choice. All too often we are let down by miracle claims that don’t live up to their promises. And while most medical skin experts and dermatologists insist that if you have serious skin concerns, you should always seek…
