Mini Hemlines, Bow Details & 3 Other Stunning Wedding Dress Trends

May 06, 2022 at 06:20PM After two years of Zoom weddings or small local gatherings, wedding dress trends have adapted to in-person events returning. As a result, bridal trends are no longer pared back and limited to minis or simple silhouettes like slip dresses. Instead, they are now beginning to channel the glamour traditionally associated with weddings. Bridal designers are adopting a maximalist attitude to meet the moment, crafting extravagant styles that pack allure and drama for brides-to-be. During New York Bridal Fashion Week, all-over lace cutouts, voluminous gowns, and dramatic trains and veils reigned supreme. The latest bridal designs are as chic as they are opulent, with intricate details such as floral appliquĂ©s, oversized bows, beads, and fringe adorning veils, bodices, and hems. These sumptuous embellishments prove that the influence of popular period dramas like “Bridgerton” and “The Gilded Age” is clearly…

Rihanna Steps Out in a Bump-Baring Bralette and Low-Rise Denim Skirt

May 06, 2022 at 05:17PM Rihanna skipped the 2022 Met Gala on Monday night, appearing instead at Dave Chappelle’s comedy taping at the Hollywood Bowl with boyfriend A$AP Rocky. Still, the star managed to make headlines in both places, shutting down the annual fundraising event with an iconic statue unveiled by Vogue, and turning heads at the live music venue in Southern California one day later. The “Diamonds” singer adopted yet another bump-baring silhouette for the comedy show, wearing a shimmery green bra top and low-rise acid-wash denim midi skirt with splashes of green. The skirt featured several high slits and a flared hem for freedom of movement. Rihanna’s belly was at the center of the ensemble, which she accessorized with layers of gold jewelry. She finished with an electric-blue patent-leather jacket and braided some of her hair, letting the rest fall past…

J Lo Looks Like She Walked Off the “Almost Famous” Set in This Outfit

May 06, 2022 at 04:50PM Jennifer Lopez embraced an all-out ‘70s moment outside of Soho House in Malibu, CA, with friends on May 5. The star, who has recently been channeling the '90s in everything from overalls to cropped sweaters, took us back two more decades - appearing as though she’d just walked off the set of the 2000 cult classic “Almost Famous,” which chronicles life on the road as band groupies in the '70s. Lopez chose a cream, longline knit cardigan with a feather-and-fringe finish at the collar, sleeves, and hemline. The design included a sash and tortoise buckle that cinched at the waist and played up the shade of her Gucci Diana bag, which comes with a recognizable bamboo top handle, the double G emblem embroidered on white leather, and decorative neon shapers. But it was her round ChloĂ© sunglasses that…

Friday Faves

Friday FavesMay 06, 2022 at 11:05AM Helloooo! Happy Friday! I hope you’re having a wonderful morning so far. Today is filled with appointments. We have an appointment for some home remodeling stuff, and then I’m headed to the chiropractor. I fell down the stairs last Saturday (while scolding the girls not to slide down the banister, I missed a step, and went sledding on my back all the way down), and while I feel ok, I’ve slept horribly and can’t get comfortable because my back aches. Really hope that this puts me back together! The rest of the weekend, we have a soccer game, an event at the kids’ school, a birthday party, Phoenix for a dance competition, and Mother’s Day! If you’re looking for last-min Mother’s Day gift ideas, check out this post. I snagged a couple of Michael Buble tickets on…

Blake Lively Convinced Me to Try These $45 Old Navy Overalls

May 06, 2022 at 01:10AM A couple of weeks back, I saw Blake Lively post a photo of herself in denim overalls, so naturally, I had to buy overalls. In her Instagram pic, the actress looks flawless (no surprise there), in a full-length style that’s basically the epitome of farm girl chic. She elevated the look with some colorful jewels, a Chanel handbag, and heels and single-handedly convinced me to invest in a pair … ASAP. So without hesitation, I turned to Old Navy, which has basically become my go-to brand. I knew I wanted a short style as opposed to a full-length pair since summer is right around the corner (and I plan on ditching plants completely). So when I scrolled past the Slouchy Straight Workwear Medium-Wash Non-Stretch Jean Short Overalls ($40, originally $45), I knew I met my match. It certainly…

Rihanna Wears a Red Wedding Dress and “I Do” Grill in A$AP Rocky’s New Video

May 06, 2022 at 12:15AM Rihanna makes several appearances in boyfriend A$AP Rocky’s “D.M.B.” music video, which the rapper released on Thursday. The acronym stands for “DAT$ MAH B!*$H,” a point Rocky makes with almost every scene his girlfriend is in. In a particular take, he even proposes to Rihanna, flashing his grill that reads “Marry Me?” to which Rihanna reveals her own grill reading “I Do.” In the proposal scene, Rihanna emerges under a thin red veil matched to a halterneck dress with a plunging keyhole. While this may be a hint at potential incoming engagement news, Rihanna’s costumes have all our attention in the meantime. The video predates the noticeable stage of her pregnancy, but the screen style portrayed feels, in retrospect, like a preview of her unconventional and bump-forward maternity style. Take, for example, the first scene, where she bares…
