You Won’t Check Your Phone When Drag Superstar Symone Walks in Wearing This Iridescent Dress

August 26, 2021 at 05:17PM America’s Drag Superstar Symone, who won RuPaul’s Drag Race season 13, visited guest host RuPaul on Jimmy Kimmel Live to talk about building her empire. As soon as she walked in wearing this Paco Rabanne minidress, constructed from glossy, iridescent stars connected solely by metal rings, we could look absolutely nowhere else. The incredible number comes from a fashion house known for its chainmail designs, and Symone did this one justice with styling help from Marko Monroe, who completed the look with Sophia Webster platforms and Shay Jewelry (make sure you catch those drop earrings!). When RuPaul asked Symone how she’s going to continue to rep The House of Avalon as The Ebony Enchantress, she immediately responded, “Well, one, I’m going to keep looking like this,” confirming she was just as into this fashion moment as we were.…

Princess Diana Wore a Dress Strikingly Similar to the One on the Spencer Movie Poster

August 26, 2021 at 04:07PM While Spencer costume designer Jacqueline Durran has not admitted to taking direct influence from Princess Diana’s looks for Kristen Stewart’s costumes, the new movie poster has us dissecting every detail. Neon distributed the above teaser of Pablo Larraín’s Spencer on Aug. 25 ahead of its Nov. 5 release date, and it’s an image of Kristen as Diana, slouched over her strapless gown that’s stitched with regal gold embroidery. It looks a lot like the Emanuel-designed number Diana wore to the 1987 James Bond premiere for The Living Daylights. Also similar? The choice in accessories. Diana famously wore a single strand of pearls to the event, and it appears as though Kristen’s got the same type of necklace on. Of course, this creation was dreamed up by Jacqueline and her wardrobe team, and we don’t know exactly what their…

If I Could, I’d Wear This Old Navy Puff-Sleeve Dress Every Dang Day

August 25, 2021 at 11:15PM You know when you try on something and immediately love it? That’s exactly what happened to me with this Old Navy Puff-Sleeve Light-Wash Jean Mini Swing Dress ($45). I’m a regular dress wearer come the summer months, mainly because: A) Dresses are easy to slip on. B) They’re comfortable. And C) People think you look fancy when you’re not trying at all. After I cycle through my usual 10 or so summer dresses, I try to add a new one into the mix, and Old Navy has always been ole reliable. I like its dresses because they’re super affordable and they last forever (I wish I was kidding when I say I still own the same Old Navy dress I wore on my 21st birthday … five years ago).
