Why the Funeral Episode of “The Handmaid’s Tale” Has the Most Significant CostumesSeptember 24, 2022 at 06:00PM“The Handmaid’s Tale” is back for season five with an evolving plot line that coincides with a fresh approach to costume design. Since its 2017 debut, the Hulu drama series has enlisted three different lead costume designers: Ane Crabtree, who created the original Gilead look with its red caped dresses and white bonnet hats; Natalie Bronfman, who took the reins starting with season three; and, most recently, Leslie Kavanagh, who joined in season five.“I made a conscious decision that June would never willingly wear red again - a design choice that was embraced by Elisabeth Moss.”Though Kavanagh has never worked with Crabtree, she tells POPSUGAR she’ll still draw inspiration from her predecessor’s vision and build on it as each season progresses. One way she is adding to…

9 Modern Wedding Dresses For the Contemporary BrideSeptember 24, 2022 at 12:05AMContrary to popular belief, there’s so much more to a wedding ceremony than pouffy, princess-style dresses and over-the-top celebrations. In fact, many modern wedding dress trends have shown us that these days, a large majority of today’s brides are leaning into more traditional and minimalistic styles - opting for a classically muted gown that’s understated yet still regal, forgoing fit-and-flair frocks and mile-long trains altogether.As with so many of the changes we’ve witnessed over the last few years, weddings haven’t been left untouched by the cultural desire to simplify - and wedding dresses, as a result, have reverted to more simple and classically elegant styles (a trend that we can totally get on board with!).But make no mistake, a simple modern wedding dress doesn’t have to be any less exquisite. From minimalist…

We Found a $36 Dupe For Taylor Swift’s “Evermore” Flannel at Old NavySeptember 23, 2022 at 11:55PMTaylor Swift’s fall is upon us, and in honor of the best season, we managed to find an Old Navy dupe of the exact flannel featured on the cover of “Evermore.” Our editor even reviewed the Long-Sleeve Plaid Flannel Boyfriend Tunic Shirt and gave it her stamp of approval. It’s a major win for sad girl autumn, and extremely timely for the kind of weather that makes you want to cup a mug with both hands, light a candle, and count down the minutes… or maybe the seconds… until “Midnights” finally drops in October. For context, Swift herself wore the iconic flannel for the visuals of the cottage-core inspired record, which came out in December of 2020 following the release of her decidedly tranquil “Folklore” album. Although…

I Tried Old Navy’s Dupe For Taylor Swift’s “Evermore” FlannelSeptember 23, 2022 at 11:55PMTaylor Swift is releasing her tenth studio album, Midnights, in just under a month, and I’m one of the millions of people who are highly anticipating its arrival. That said, I’m wildly invested in all of the singer’s recent TikTok videos in which she’s announcing track names, as well as all of the fan theories and speculation surrounding the album. With all of the buzz around her upcoming album, the last thing I expected was to uncover something epic about her ninth album, Evermore. As dutiful fans of the singer might recall, she wears an orange and black plaid single-breasted coat on the cover, photographed from behind with her hair in a lovely French braid. Her exact coat was a Stella McCartney design, which retailed for a whopping $2,875.Ready for…

15 Size-Inclusive Wedding Brands Worth Saying “I Do” ToSeptember 23, 2022 at 10:55PMFashion has long failed to showcase body diversity. The industry may pay lip service to size inclusivity, but the recent fall 2022 runway shows (ahem, Valentino) told a different story, with many major fashion houses continuing to tokenize plus-size models.Inclusivity improvements are slowly happening, thanks to efforts from the plus-size community - including influencers like Kristine Thompson and Remi Bader and entrepreneurs and models like Ashley Graham and Gabi Gregg). Still, more work needs to be done.If you’re curvy, you understand firsthand how the fashion industry has historically been reluctant to offer inclusive, stylish options for your frame. The curvy bridal-apparel market is especially sparse. Offerings are rarely available in extended sizing, and thin women tend to dominate major brands’ marketing and advertisements - creating narratives that are damaging for brides-to-beAccording…
