My Honest MERIT Beauty Review

My Honest MERIT Beauty ReviewMy Honest MERIT Beauty ReviewJuly 06, 2023 at 10:59AMOver the years I’ve shared quite a few honest beauty brand reviews. I personally like reading reviews from individuals who have actually tried products AND are not being paid to post about them. Two years ago the MERIT Beauty team reached out when they first came out with a few products. I’m not going to lie I was rubbed the wrong way when they asked for a whole list of demands in return for some free product. I chose to pass and continued on my clean beauty way (we all know I have way too many products already anyway!) But last December a friend of mine insisted I try their cream blush. She said it was the best she had tried and so I picked some up at Sephora. WOW. I…

Margot Robbie’s Bra and Miniskirt Look Like Actual Barbie Doll Clothes

Margot Robbie’s Bra and Miniskirt Look Like Actual Barbie Doll ClothesJuly 06, 2023 at 04:20AMMargot Robbie’s “Barbie” press tour looks are a sight to behold, but given the lineup of costumes featured in the Greta Gerwig-directed movie, that should come as no surprise. While Robbie’s onscreen character is outfitted by Jacqueline Durran for the film, the 32-year-old Australian actress and producer works with stylist Andrew Mukamal for event dressing. Mukamal has been sharing behind-the-scenes snippets on Instagram of each look, and it’s a visual feast for any fan of the Barbiecore trend and the doll’s wardrobe in general. Working alongside the rest of Robbie’s glam squad that includes hairstylist Bryce Scarlett, makeup artist Pati Dubroff, and manicurist Tom Bachik, Mukamal is making sartorial magic. Pulling from the current runways and archival designs, he’s created a wardrobe that feels like it’s pulled from Barbie’s…

Millie Bobby Brown’s Plunging Halter Is the Perfect Date-Night Look

Millie Bobby Brown’s Plunging Halter Is the Perfect Date-Night LookJuly 06, 2023 at 04:00AMMillie Bobby Brown’s foray into the fashion world all started with her success playing Eleven on Netflix series “Stranger Things.” Brown first proved she’s got serious acting skills, and plenty of red carpet appearances followed. She developed a relationship with major brands like Calvin Klein, starring in a 2017 campaign at age 12. The star, who recently announced her engagement to Jake Bongiovi, also signed with IMG models that same year. Since then, Brown has launched her own beauty line, Florence by Mills, collaborated with Converse, and attended many a Coach runway show to sit front row during Fashion Week. While a lot of Brown’s off-duty looks veer on the side of ultra-casual, she works with stylist Michelle Kelly to construct her wardrobe for appearances. For her red-carpet wardrobe, Brown…

Heidi Klum’s Latest Look Is Half-Bikini Half-Couture Gown

Heidi Klum’s Latest Look Is Half-Bikini Half-Couture GownJuly 06, 2023 at 02:40AMHeidi Klum is all about her swimwear – even when it comes to high fashion. On July 5, the 50-year-old supermodel swung by Jean Paul Gaultier’s fall 2023 show during Paris Haute Couture Week wearing a dress that could only be described as half-bikini, half-couture. The designer’s handcrafted vintage creation was split down the middle, with one side featuring a black, floor-length jersey gown and the other, a bright blue bandeau and matching tie-waist bottoms that resembled a swimsuit. The sultry side of the asymmetrical dress included an extreme side slit, showing off both Klum’s toned abs and long legs. She kept the rest of her look minimal, accessorizing with a complementary sapphire necklace and strappy black sandals. “@jeanpaulgaultier said to me „this dress you are wearing i sewed with my own…

Shakira’s “NO” Trench Coat Pushes the Limits of Avant-Garde Style

Shakira’s “NO” Trench Coat Pushes the Limits of Avant-Garde StyleJuly 06, 2023 at 01:50AMFashion speaks volumes, and Shakira’s Viktor & Rolf trench coat at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week delivered a clear message: no. While attending the designer’s fall 2023 Haute Couture show on July 5, Shakira embraced the no-pants trend in a giant coat emblazoned with the word “no” in capital letters across the chest. The finality of the two-letter word was so palpable, I found myself squinting at the fabric in search of a miniature emoticon heart covered in crystals and sarcasm. While the heart was nowhere to be found, Shakira’s cheeky message landed beautifully. “Yes is overrated,” she captioned another glimpse at the sculptural outfit on Instagram. The look even inspired fans across social media to turn the sartorial moment into a meme. “Me when my boss asks me to…

Emma Chamberlain Goes Pants-Less Beneath Pink Feathered Briefs

Emma Chamberlain Goes Pants-Less Beneath Pink Feathered BriefsJuly 06, 2023 at 12:20AMThe no-pants trend continues its reign at Paris Haute Couture Week. At the Valentino Haute Couture show on July 5, Emma Chamberlain stepped out sans pants in a sheer blouse with floral embroidery and gauzy oversize sleeves. Instead of a regular pair of bottoms, however, the 22-year-old influencer and content creator attended the show in tiny briefs completely covered in pink ostrich feathers. She left the rest of her legs bare, accessorizing with black heels, a matching neck tie, and a pink Valentino micro purse with glittery silver hardware. At first glance, the fringe created by the wispy pastel feathers made it so that Chamberlain’s briefs could almost pass as a miniskirt. But when she stood upright with her arms down, the illusion appeared much more deliberate, following in the footsteps of…

Rita Ora Goes Braless In a Totally See-Through Lace DressJuly 05, 2023 at 11:25PMRita Ora has long been a champion of the naked dress trend and she may have just stepped out in her most exposed look to date. On July 2, the singer attended the Azzedine Alaïa show at Paris Couture Week wearing a totally see-through black lace dress, freeing the nipple for the occasion.On first look, Ora’s attire looked more demure than we have been used to seeing, thanks to the high-neck, floor-length style. But the sheer lace fabric soon gave it that allure Ora is known for. Wearing just a pair of high-waisted black briefs underneath the dress, which was from the designer’s Fall 2023 collection, she teamed her braless look with sparkling platform heels. Scooping her hair back into a chic ponytail, she completed the ensemble with a smokey…
