The Depp v Heard Verdict Isn’t Really A Victory For Abuse Survivors

June 06, 2022 at 09:07PM The defamation lawsuit between ex-spouses Johnny Depp and Amber Heard came to an end on June 1, but the fallout from this case has just begun. The jury found both parties to be guilty of defamation, and awarded Depp $15 million in damages and Heard $2 million. It was a victory for Johnny Depp, but some argue the verdict was a loss for abuse survivors everywhere. To recap: The jury found Heard defamed Depp in a 2018 op-ed for The Washington Post, in which she did not actually name her ex-husband. The statements Depp claimed to be defamatory and false were: “I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our culture’s wrath. That has to change”; “Two years ago, I became a public figure representing domestic abuse, and I felt the full force of our culture’s wrath…

Here, the multihyphenate shares his playlist for Pride and his other top tips to get the most out of the month. What’s been your most memorable Pride experience? In 2019, I was DJing at Electric Island during Pride and I had one of those realizations where I was like, ‘Wow, I’m an artist.’ I could also just feel the love in the crowd. To see straight and queer people all there for the music and harmoniously dancing was beautiful. Photography courtesy of Karim Olen AshWhat’s your go-to Pride outfit? I don’t really have a specific outfit, but I love to gender bend and wear clothes that make me feel powerful and elegant.…

Jordyn Woods’s Asymmetrical One-Piece Has Too Many Cutouts to Count

June 06, 2022 at 06:11PM Jordyn Woods’s vacation style remains unmatched. The model recently celebrated a friend’s bachelorette party in Tulum, Mexico, and wore an asymmetrical Louisa Ballou one-piece swimsuit covered in a tropical leaf print for exploring an underground cenote during the trip. Made from recycled lycra material, the swimsuit features a high-rise silhouette, halter straps, and several cutouts held together by two metallic rings. After taking a dip, she styled the suit with a black bucket hat and sheer T-shirt in the exact same pattern. Woods isn’t the only celebrity with an affinity for Ballou’s ‘70s-inspired, hardware-clad designs. Both Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner have been spotted in the same one-piece, albeit in different colorways, while Ashanti rocked one of the resort-wear designer’s daring cutout dresses at Fat Joe’s 51st birthday party last August. Megan Thee Stallion, Lori Harvey, Dua Lipa,…

See All 7 of Vanessa Hudgens’s Outfit Changes at the MTV Movie and TV Awards

June 06, 2022 at 05:45PM When Vanessa Hudgens hit the red carpet at the MTV Movie and TV Awards in Santa Monica on Sunday, June 5, she kicked off a serious style marathon. The 33-year-old “Tick, Tick … Boom!” star was the host for the ceremony, working with longtime stylist Jason Bolden to curate seven total looks that she wore throughout the night, most of which included subtle references to the films and shows that have influenced pop culture over the last year. Hudgens’s debut outfit ⁠- a cobalt-blue Vera Wang Haute dress that she paired with metallic stiletto platforms ⁠- was reflective of her own personal style, which is often bohemian inspired with an edgy touch. Hudgens then swapped the blue number for a striking sequin silver-and-gold minidress. Her other ensembles for the evening included several notable high-fashion runway looks from the…

Sydney Sweeney’s Micro-mini + More MTV Movie & TV Awards Looks

June 06, 2022 at 04:59PM The MTV Movie & TV Awards has been creating viral moments before social media was even really a thing. Take the 2005 show, when Best Kiss winners Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams recreated their dramatic smooch from The Notebook on stage as Maroon 5’s “She Will Be Loved” played over cheers (including those from celebrities like Hillary Duff and Lindsay Lohan). Is there anything more quintessentially early 2000s than that? And last night, MTV tapped into our collective nostalgia for that very era. Between appearances by J. Lo and Snoop Dog, Vanessa Hudgens as host and noughties fashion (Sydney Sweeney’s Miu Miu micro-mini; Olivia Rodrigo’s spiky updo), the MTV Movie & TV Awards red carpet took us on a trip back through time. See for yourself in the gallery below, where we’ve rounded up all the best red…

Can Fashion Brands Actually Be Canceled?

June 06, 2022 at 03:45PM While Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s three-part wedding was a love-filled affair, the bridal party’s choice of designer was not so well-received. As pictures poured in from the Las Vegas nuptials, followed by a bigger ceremony in Portofino, Italy, it became apparent that the entire Kardashian-Jenner clan were dressed by Dolce & Gabbana. The fashion house is seemingly enjoying a resurgence among today’s biggest stars, but it wasn’t too long ago that Dolce & Gabbana was inundated with controversy. The Milan-based brand’s history of racism and homophobia runs deep. In less than a decade, the brand came under fire for an ad with a Chinese model eating Italian food with chopsticks; selling “Slave Sandals” and Blackamoor earrings; referring to children born from IVF as “synthetic” (Dolce issued an apology); saying that they oppose gay adoption; calling Selena Gomez…

Beauty Products You Need To Get Your Hands On For Pride Month

June 06, 2022 at 01:00PM The meaning behind makeup has continued to expand as the beauty space has taken off over the last decade. Many turn to it to bring out their natural features, others use it as a tool to make a powerful statement, and some express their identity through its colours and textures. Whichever way you choose, it’s a transformative medium and every June, as we celebrate love, members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community breathe life into this form of storytelling. This year, Canada’s very own iconic beauty destination, Shoppers Drug Mart, is encouraging Canadians everywhere to “Get loud for Pride!” with the launch of their limited-edition Quo Beauty Pride Collection, with a portion of proceeds supporting Pflag Canada—a local organization committed to helping Canadians navigate their sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression. With a new assortment of Pride-inspired makeup and…

How to calculate nutrition needs

How to calculate nutrition needsJune 06, 2022 at 11:16AM Google how to calculate your own nutrition needs and the results will yield a plethora of online nutrition calculators. But how do you know which one to choose? Are they accurate? And then what happens? How do you apply this information to your own body? This post was written in collaboration with Mia, who is a Registered Dietitian on my team.  Nutrition calculators are EVERYWHERE online and it’s easy to receive macros and suggested caloric intake after answering a few questions. The problem is that these calculators are rarely accurate and don’t consider factors that can have a huge impact on how much and what types of fuel you should choose for your unique situation and health goals. Online nutrition calculators fail to account for various factors, including: Stress: mental, emotional, physical Nutrition quality.…
