May 17, 2022 at 09:20PM Lori Harvey just executed this year’s Met Gala theme at the opening ceremony of the 2022 Cannes Film Festival. Harvey hit the red carpet at Palais Des Festivals in a commanding strapless ballgown that exuded “Gilded Glamour.” The ruffled gown, which is Look 40 from Alexandre Vauthier’s Spring 2020 Couture Collection, featured a frayed bodice wrapped in layers of spooled ribbon and held together by a shimmering diamond brooch on the left hip.

May 17, 2022 at 08:40PM Pearls have seen a resurgence in recent years, thanks in no small part to the prevalence of period dramas and the cottagecore movement. The TV shows and romanticized lifestyle trend have underscored the nostalgic mood that’s taken over fashion lately, especially as people emerge from the pandemic.

The report predicted what we’re now currently seeing, stating, “In 2022,…

May 17, 2022 at 08:05PM Miley Cyrus has been making the case for Y2K fashion lately. Her bleached shag with dark brown undertones is straight out of the Myspace era, and she was spotted on the streets of New York this past weekend in leopard prints and a lingerie-inspired mini dress. On “Late Night With Seth Meyers” on May 16, she paid homage to the early 2000s again in a vintage Alexander McQueen dress made of 100% silk. The McQueen piece, which initially debuted on the 2004 runway, features a midi-length, bias cut silhouette and a scalloped hem. Its original design had cape-like flutter sleeves Cyrus opted not to include. Instead, spaghetti straps dawned from ruched cup details accented by a bow in the center of the bodice. A silk cowl draped over the fitted corset details, adding a modest touch to the…
