La La Anthony and Kahlana Barfield Brown on Celebrating HBCUs and Black DesignersOctober 26, 2023 at 10:10PMThe fashion world has made incredible strides when it comes to championing inclusivity, especially for Black designers. Long gone are the days when an industry titan like André Leon Talley was the only Black person in the room at a runway show. Though there’s still a long way to go, the Black community is gaining more visibility in fashion, from editors and stylists to designers. In fact, some of the most anticipated collection debuts and runway shows are from Black-owned brands, like Christopher John Rogers, Theophilio, Harbison, and Sergio Hudson. Even Bridal Fashion Week has welcomed names like Hanifa and Andrea Osei Bride to great acclaim. This past New York Fashion Week season gave us another era-defining moment on the journey to more representation: the Big Motion…

Maya Hawke and Uma Thurman Are a Chic Mother-Daughter Duo in Matching OutfitsOctober 26, 2023 at 09:45PMUma Thurman and Maya Hawke’s latest appearance proves great style must run in the family. The famous mother and daughter, who are both actors, recently attended the Room to Grow gala in New York City on Oct. 25 wearing similar all-black looks. Between their matching outfits and pulled-back hairstyles, the resemblance was striking. Thurman wore a cape over an ankle-length column dress featuring long sleeves and a slit in the front. She paired the sleek outfit with pointed-toe pumps, an envelope clutch, diamond drop earrings, and a crescent-moon brooch, which peeked out under her coat. Hawke, meanwhile, wore a button-front jacket, pleated trousers, pumps, and a Prada handbag. Hawke is an ambassador for Prada, and recently appeared in its latest holiday campaign. Hawke’s family has a special…

Chain Bras Are the Fashion Trend Youll See Everywhere This Holiday SeasonOctober 26, 2023 at 07:22PMChainmail was certainly popular in the ‘90s and 2000s, with Paris Hilton quite literally owning the dress trend after sporting a memorable silver mesh birthday dress that Kendall Jenner recreated in 2016. But a piece of jewelry that acts as a bra - with nothing underneath - is something else entirely, and it changes the conversation about wearable materials in fashion. In 2021, Bella Hadid stepped out at the Cannes Film Festival, a vision in a Schiaparelli black dress with a gigantic cutout circling her bust. But rather than go bare, the look was completed with a massive brass necklace in the shape of branched lungs to cover her breasts and seemingly present the idea of artfully-constructed hardware as a top. Two years later, we’re seeing more playful…

The Thought of Walking in Julia Fox’s Pelvic-Cutout Dress Makes Me SweatOctober 26, 2023 at 05:41PMAt this point, when I see Julia Fox step out in a new look, I can’t help but pause to imagine myself wearing it. Be it a thin strip of fabric masquerading as a skirt or duct tape that functions as a bra, I just can’t seem to wrap my head around some of her outfits. The 33-year-old “Uncut Gems” star, who works with stylist Briana Andalore on sourcing her statement-making looks, turned a wardrobe malfunction into a major fashion moment at an Oct. 25 event. Fox attended Room To Grow’s 25th anniversary gala at the Ziegfeld Ballroom in New York City in a Mowalola scarlet-red “half-dress” made of crinkled leather. While the skintight bodice fit like a tank, the dress seemed quite restrictive due to bands that…

Maggie Smith’s New Fashion Campaign Is Absolute MagicOctober 26, 2023 at 04:25PMMaggie Smith can now add “internet-breaking handbag model” to her expansive résumé. The seasoned actor stars in Loewe’s new spring 2024 pre-collection campaign, and though it’s a rather unexpected collaboration, the slayage is impossible to ignore. As Wendy Williams’s heavily meme’d saying goes, “She’s an icon, she’s a legend, and she is the moment.” Smith, 88, ditches her pointy Professor McGonagall hat and wears three distinct outfits in her spread, which was captured by photographer Juergen Teller and conceptualized by Loewe Creative Director Jonathan Anderson. The most standout look is the definitely her brown shearling coat - she cozies up in the Hagrid-adjacent outerwear and shows off Loewe’s popular puzzle bag while posing in front of a brick wall like a pro. Smith’s signature smirk is on display, giving a look that…

Allison Williams Is Still Taking Style Cues From Her Onscreen Rival M3GANOctober 26, 2023 at 02:05AMAllison Williams served horror-movie haute couture during a stroll through New York City on Oct. 25. Following the viral success of director Gerard Johnstone’s “M3gan,” in which Williams plays the malevolent doll’s rival, fans have been taking style cues from the fashionable AI robot. In the film, M3GAN unleashes her vengeance on dozens of unsuspecting victims, and she does it all in patent-leather Mary Janes and a peplum silhouette. After months of filming, her chic sense of style appears to have rubbed off on Williams, and something about the preppy ensemble has us envisioning a whole collection of M3GAN-inspired outfits. Putting a M3GANcore twist on some of our favorite fall fashion trends, Williams stepped out in a Brunello Cucinelli Giacca double-breasted leather blazer, which retails for $8,400, layered…

9 Times Hailey and Justin Bieber’s Outfits Were Perfectly MismatchedOctober 26, 2023 at 12:10AMHailey and Justin Bieber have always been a fashionable couple, but you can’t deny they have pretty distinct styles. Hailey is known for her modern, flirty takes on today’s biggest trends, from naked dresses to micro miniskirts to thongkinis. Justin takes a more casual approach to fashion, favoring streetwear, graphic T-shirts, sweats, and the occasional Crocs. With two very different fashion philosophies, Hailey and Justin’s styles inspire a ton of opinions from fans and critics alike. While some might see the combination as mismatched - and many do, if social media is any indication - Hailey is totally comfortable walking beside her sartorial opposite. “It’s so funny because I see so many people talk about this,” she told GQ Hype. “He may want to wear baggy sweats to dinner, and…

Vanessa Hudgens’s Sheer Plunging Gown Is the Bachelorette Outfit We’ve Been Waiting ForOctober 25, 2023 at 11:57PMVanessa Hudgens has officially turned the tables when it comes to dressing for your own bachelorette party. The 34-year-old bride-to-be joined her friends for a night on the town in Aspen wearing a plunging maxi made of sheer panels and crinkled silk. The neckline was finished with a lace trim, catering to the star’s bohemian sense of style. Her gown is the antidote to the glitzy little minidress we may often expect to see brides choose. And with the addition of a thick, floor-length coat and two-tier veil, Hudgens’s look was attention-grabbing, but also dramatic in the name of spooky season - which is known to be her favorite time of year. (Last month, she marked the start of festive Halloween dressing with a post showcasing her…

The No-Pants Trend Is Taking Over HollywoodOctober 25, 2023 at 11:05PMLong gone are the days of fashion having strict rules. Many trends have come and gone and resurfaced again, from outlandish styles like the skirts-over-pants look of the 2000s to more practical aesthetics like the Sofia Richie-inspired quiet luxury. Of all the popular styles of the moment, we can’t seem to escape the no-pants trend. While in the past, it was rare to step out without pants, celebrities have shamelessly and successfully produced several style moments that exclude the wardrobe essential. From Rihanna’s red puffer jacket and heels for a date with A$AP Rocky in winter 2022 to Dove Cameron’s pantless moment with six-inch heels, it’s OK not to wear pants.While this trend is currently enjoying a moment in the spotlight, going pantless got popular as early as 2012. Miley Cyrus was among…
