I Attempted to Wear Olivia Rodrigo’s Infamously Tall 7-Inch Platform Boots

I Attempted to Wear Olivia Rodrigo’s Infamously Tall 7-Inch Platform BootsOctober 11, 2023 at 03:47PMDua Lipa, Olvia Rodrigo, and Lady Gaga all posed in the Marc Jacobs Kiki platform boots, and upon first glance, my reaction was always the same: I wonder what it’s like to actually walk in those 7-inch heels? Well, reader, I tried the vertiginous heels on myself and at the most non-opportune time, too. I had just completed a 16-mile run before stepping into these monstrous shoes, which might have been foolish, but I had no other choice since I’m in the midst of training for a marathon. Nevertheless, I’m always up for a challenge, and I’d like to think strapping into these puppies with a giant blister on my big toe qualifies as such. It is a costume shoe built for a celebrity - one who is spotted…

These Male Celebrities Are Upping Their Purse Game and We’re Here For It

These Male Celebrities Are Upping Their Purse Game and We’re Here For ItOctober 11, 2023 at 01:45AMMale celebrities have it in the bag. Recently, Jacob Elordi made headlines for his impressively curated collection of designer bags, showing off everything from a classic Burberry cross-body to an impossibly tiny Valentino bag. On Oct. 6, A$AP Rocky kept the momentum going with a cool Bottega Veneta bag, almost overshadowing Rihanna’s comically oversized clutch (… almost). It seems more and more prominent men are having fun with these costly handbags, integrating them into their fashion choices in new and progressively bolder ways.Although designer handbags have long been a staple in women’s fashion, men’s fashion was initially slow on the uptake, eventually motivated by fashion icons like Pharrell Williams and the late Virgil Abloh. Some celebrities, like Drake, say they’re collecting bags for future partners they don’t…

Sophie Turner Throws Shade at Joe Jonas With Her Friendship Bracelet and I’m Inspired

On Oct. 8, in a now-expired Instagram Story, the “Game of Thrones” actress showed the world her strong allegiance to superstar best friend Taylor Swift with a picture of a friendship bracelet that read “Fearless.” In this case, the word is far from a mere adjective, but also the name of Swift’s 2008 album and the cult-favorite song that discusses the ideal “best first date,” which is the total opposite of Turner’s situation and perhaps a presumptuous tactic to add fuel to an already-blazing fire.Image Source: Instagram user sophietIt’s quite the statement to…

Rihanna’s Massive Clutch Is Here to Tell You: Tiny Purses Are Out

Rihanna’s Massive Clutch Is Here to Tell You: Tiny Purses Are OutOctober 10, 2023 at 06:50PMRihanna has spoken: tiny purses are out. [Insert dramatic gavel slam here.] On Oct. 9, the Fenty Beauty founder was spotted grabbing dinner in New York City carrying an enormous red clutch that could practically double as a duffle. The woven Bottega Veneta bag was impossible to miss as the mom of two made the sidewalk her runway in a gray Dries Van Noten coat, black Balenciaga “pantaboots,” Gucci sunglasses, and a diamond necklace. With no top handle to grab or slip over the shoulder, Rihanna wedged the oversize pouch under one arm, leaving us to wonder what on earth was hiding within. Did she stash a week’s worth of takeout from the restaurant she dined at? (That’s our kinda meal prep, if so.) Perhaps the singer went…

Billie Eilish Re-Launches the Fishnet Trend in a Big Way For 2023

Billie Eilish Re-Launches the Fishnet Trend in a Big Way For 2023October 10, 2023 at 05:59PMFishnet tights are a fashion trend that first emerged with flappers in the 1920s. Later, they were used to achieve the grunge aesthetic in the ‘90s. During that iteration, Avril Lavigne, Gwen Stefani, and Paris Hilton sported them underneath miniskirts and baggy, low-rise cargo pants to give their outfits a rockstar edge. Today, it’s safe to say Billie Eilish is one of the main faces of the new fishnets trend, styling hers with knee pads, camouflage hot pants, and sheer biker shorts, whether she’s onstage or posing for a photoshoot. For Eilish, 21, the resulting aesthetic is sporty and flirty all at once, with subtle sex appeal thanks to the skin-baring elements. She generally opts for baby tees or oversize jerseys on top.Other celebrities are getting in on…
