The First Trailer for Spencer, Starring Kristen Stewart As Princess Diana, Is Here

August 26, 2021 at 08:29PM We just got a major glimpse of Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana — and it’s a breathtaking ode to the historical figure’s story. Stewart will be depicting Lady Di in Pablo LarraĂ­n’s biopic Spencer, whose title comes from Diana’s maiden name, about the beloved princess’s challenging days as a member of the royal family. Here’s everything we know about Spencer so far. What Spencer teasers have been released? On August 25, Neon, the studio backing Spencer, revealed the film’s poster. In it, Stewart is turned away from the camera in a long cream gown that fills up most of the photograph. The image paints a moment of hopelessness: she is crouched over and resting her face into her gown — a pose that fans have pointed out is similar to when Jennifer Lawrence fell at the Oscars in…

All We See Are Abs as Lori Harvey Walks Around Town in a Bra Top and Low-Rise Jeans

August 26, 2021 at 06:22PM Help, we just can’t seem to escape low-rise jeans! While I still refuse to accept that this trend I thought we left behind 20 years ago is all that flattering (at least on me), when it comes to Lori Harvey, there’s an exception to the rule. Lori was recently spotted out and about in Beverly Hills looking like the chic, off-duty model she is, in a relaxed yet somehow very extra outfit. Wearing a scoop-neck bra and baggy Vetements x Levi’s jeans with the logo plastered across the front, Lori topped off her ensemble with a terrycloth Bottega Veneta clutch and matching slides. Plus, she added a pair of cat-eye sunglasses from Celine and silver jewelry for good measure. If we had to guess, Lori’s casual designer outfit totals an estimated $5,000 - the purse itself is almost…

Halsey at Her Film Premiere Is How Teen Me Thought I Looked After Leaving Hot Topic

August 26, 2021 at 05:48PM Halsey brought the drama to their film premiere. The singer recently wore a striking all-black outfit to a Los Angeles screening of the hourlong film that accompanies her fourth studio album, If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power. Much like their film and album cover, Halsey’s look appeared to take inspiration from gothic art and religious iconography. The outfit is also yet another gem from the archives of Image Architect Law Roach, who pointed out the veiled Dolce & Gabbana dress had been plucked from the brand’s spring 1998 runway collection. Halsey completed the mesh minidress with sheer thigh-high tights, black Christian Louboutin pumps, and Loree Rodkin jewelry, including an imposing cross necklace. Halsey’s boyfriend Alev Aydin was also in attendance, wearing a black checkered suit. See photos of Halsey’s theatrical red-carpet appearance ahead. Related: Halsey Wears…

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 LarraĂ­n’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…
