The Story Behind Dua Lipa’s Gold Corset in “Demeanor” Is as Rich as It Appears to Be

July 29, 2021 at 07:29PM Dua Lipa has been working with stylist Lorenzo Posocco for quite some time, and he’s behind many of her performance outfits, street style, and red carpet looks. But we can’t say we were prepared for the impressive, 18th-century inspired couture look that came with her appearance in Pop Smoke’s video for “Demeanor.” Posocco sourced this gilded corset, complete with bows down the bustier and metallic threads at the sleeves, from the Jean Paul Gaultier archives. The design was first debuted on the 1998 spring/summer runway during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week, but it fits right in atop Dua’s full ballroom skirt, and complements her stunning VRAM jewels so perfectly here. Dua and Lorenzo both shared behind-the-scenes shots from set, celebrating the fashion moment that has come full circle a whole 23 years later. Ahead, see the Jean Paul…

Loving the Tie-Dye Bucket Hats US Olympians Are Wearing? You Can Buy ‘Em Online

July 29, 2021 at 07:05PM Skateboarders aren’t the only ones serving up fashion inspiration at the Olympics. Team USA athletes have taken a liking to one particular piece of merch they were gifted upon arrival in Tokyo: Ralph Lauren’s tie-dye bucket hat. Covered in a red, white, and blue pattern reminiscent of melted Rocket Pops, the coveted hat reads “USA” in navy lettering on the front and features the official logo patch of the US Olympic team. It’s just one of the many tie-dye loungewear pieces Ralph Lauren designed for American Olympians and Paralympians to wear during their downtime between competitions, in addition to creating both their opening-ceremony and closing-ceremony outfits. The accessory has garnered quite a bit of buzz this month, thanks to athletes like rugby player Ilona Maher, who’s consistently worn the hat in a series of behind-the-scenes TikToks that’ve gone…

5 Women-Founded Lingerie Companies Worth Shopping

July 29, 2021 at 06:57PM The world of undergarments, originally run by men, has drastically changed over the last few years. We’ve seen more versatility in fit, size, and silhouettes than ever before. The reason? Women have entered the scene. There are a growing number of women sitting at the top of well known lingerie and underwear brands, as founders and executives. Thankfully, this change in leadership has challenged the traditional male gaze (read: objectification of women) that the industry was traditionally known for. Some of the brands embrace individual sexuality, confidence and femininity, while others are focused on being a voice for gender-fluidity, and nursing moms. Because treating yourself is seasonless, ahead discover the inspiration that led five female entrepreneurs to launch their own lingerie brands. Some new, some tried-and-true, and all here to give you beautiful, confident-boosting lingerie separates and sets.…

Rihanna Wore Teeny Denim Shorts in Miami, and Somewhere Daisy Duke Is Trembling

July 29, 2021 at 05:36PM Rihanna’s teeny denim shorts deserve to be declared an eighth wonder of the world. The singer and image entrepreneur recently stepped out in Miami with boyfriend A$AP Rocky while wearing the short-shorts that would even impress Daisy Duke. The beguiling bottoms in question are in fact Rihanna’s own creation: Fenty sold them for $220, but they are sadly no longer available following the closure of the luxury brand earlier this year. The rest of Rihanna’s warm-weather outfit consisted of a silk flame-printed blouse by Vetements, which she wore over a striped lurex bikini top by Missoni. She accessorized with black Givenchy thong sandals, rectangular Attico x Linda Farrow sunglasses, and a vintage beaded Fendi baguette bag. Rihanna also wore her go-to necklace these days, a gold zodiac medallion by New York jeweler Briony Raymond, priced at $14,800. (She’s…

J Lo’s Red-and-White Striped Bandeau Is Now the Focus of Her Romantic Vacation

July 29, 2021 at 05:27PM Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have been out and about, and we’ve seen a peek into their new relationship in many different ways, a fashion lens included. After Lopez wore a Foundrae “Ben” necklace to cement their love in stone, we could only imagine their next steamy appearance together. It comes to us from Nerano, Italy, where the couple lounged on a yacht, Ben wearing a Ralph Lauren polo and Jennifer in a red-and-white striped bandeau top. Bikini or not, her resort style look was one for the books. She finished the outfit with white linen pants, embroidered Gucci platform espadrilles (which we tracked down - and you can buy them secondhand!), gold aviators, and matching jewelry. While aboard, we spotted her with not one but two different covetable bags: a mini woven rattan purse affixed with pom-poms…

July 29, 2021 at 04:06PM In conjunction with the release of his already-sold-out Cactus Jack x Fragment Air Jordan 1 High sneaker - which you can now bid on for upward of $2K across the internet - Travis Scott surprised fans with a well-rounded collection, which is now fully stocked on his website.

Texture Talk: The Best Sweat-Proof Edge Control Products

July 29, 2021 at 03:00PM Laying your baby hairs is a real art form and as such, should be treated like one. The right combination of seamless swoops or curls can really help to elevate and polish any style, as well as help to frame your face. However, if not done correctly, or worse yet, with a product that doesn’t offer much in the way of staying power, it can really put a damper on your ‘do. The best edge control products should have a combination of three main qualities. Firstly (and most obviously) they should help to hold and keep your edges in place. Next, they should dry down clear without leaving any white residue, flaking or build up. And finally, they should contain moisturizing ingredients which will help keep hair healthy and shiny. Sounds easy enough, right? Well, not always. Finding…
