14 Celebrities Who Brought Back the Naked Dress at the 2022 Met Gala

May 04, 2022 at 05:13PM This year marked the Met Gala’s return to its traditional calendar date, and despite its COVID-19 hiatus, the highly anticipated event continued to challenge its star-studded guest list to bring their sartorial A game. While some invitees delivered on the 2022 theme, such as Nicola Coughlan in Richard Quinn and Blake Lively in Versace, many chose to give it their own spin. “Gilded Glamour” immediately brings to mind opulent gowns and accessories such as vintage pearls and satin gloves, like those you’d see on “Bridgerton,” but some celebrities revived the naked-dress trend, making their appearances in sheer, head-turning dresses. Kerry Washington, who’s no stranger to fashion’s biggest night, appeared in an all-black Tory Burch number composed of a leg-baring slit enhanced with a corset and accessorized with sheer black gloves. Supermodel Bella Hadid also wore black to the…

J Lo Pulled Off Overall Trousers on a Day Date With Ben Affleck

May 04, 2022 at 04:45PM Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, who were notably absent from the 2022 Met Gala red carpet, were spotted leaving a Hollywood studio in LA hand in hand, showing off their coordination as usual. Lopez, who was seen shopping at Brunello Cucinelli just a few days before, wore a wool, ‘90s-style jumpsuit from the brand, not far off from the denim overalls she sported last month. Her Cucinelli pants come with a tapered leg and affixed suspenders and retail for over $2,500, though they’re no longer available online. The most notable detail was the belt-loop waistband that Lopez cinched with a Chanel CC logo belt to add her signature glamour. She finished the look with a simple white T-shirt with rolled sleeves. While the star has recently been on a platform-heels kick, she added a casual touch to this…

Bleached Brows Were *the* Look at the 2022 Met Gala

May 04, 2022 at 03:13PM It might be fashion’s biggest night of the year, but that doesn’t mean beauty takes a backseat on the Met Gala red carpet. And Monday night’s “gilded glamour” theme saw many celebs up the fashion ante even further with their chosen beauty looks. The 2022 Met Gala brought together the biggest names in the entertainment, fashion and beauty industries, and A-list attendees wore their most avant-garde ensembles, resulting in red carpet buzz surrounding the parade of experimental garments. But this year proved that hair, makeup and nails are part of the overall package. After all, it was during the Gilded Age that cosmetics became more accessible thanks to the industrial revolution. And while the era’s penchant for soft hues translated to rosy cheeks on the 2022 Met Gala red carpet, many celebrities took a more modern approach to…

What is Clean Eating all about?

What is Clean Eating all about?May 04, 2022 at 11:51AM Sharing my tips for clean eating, what it means, and what it’s all about. Hi friends! Hope you’re having a lovely morning. I’m excited about today’s blog post topic because I have a lot to say. 🙂 Today we’re talking about “clean eating.” This phrase has become popular over the past 10 years or so, but there isn’t much consensus nor firm definition about what it actually means. It’s often used as a phrase to refer to a diet that’s based on eating real and minimally-processed foods. It can also mean choosing what’s considered the healthiest option from a variety of options. I’m dedicating this post to talk about what clean eating is really about (and my thoughts on this phrase!). I’m going to answer common questions about clean eating, and share tips on…

While the silhouettes, colors, and overall aesthetic of their dresses couldn’t have been more different, both Taylor and Harlow embraced the gala’s “Gilded Glamour” theme, proving without a shadow of a doubt that they understood the assignment. Taylor’s otherworldly design was a semisheer dress with puffed sleeves, a strappy cut-out bodice, and a flowing handkerchief train that pooled behind her in a watercolor pattern. She styled the look with Louboutin sandals, Lillian Shalom jewelry, and a Malakai “Psyche” couture mask made of sterling-silver vines and gills accented with amethyst navettes. Taylor’s beauty team completed the look with a slicked-back bun, violet eyeshadow,…

Roe v. Wade Overshadows Gilded Glamour of the Met Gala

May 03, 2022 at 10:45PM Poor Anna Wintour. Not even her Chanel sunglasses could hide her from this mess. After months of painstakingly perfecting the guest list and seating chart, marrying the right designer with the right star, curating on-theme place settings, floral arrangements and decor, and overseeing the actual exhibition, in the end, it didn’t matter. None of it did. All anyone will remember about last night’s Met Gala was the news that the Supreme Court may overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that legalized abortion nationwide in America. View this post on Instagram   A post shared by The Costume Institute (@metcostumeinstitute) If the news wasn’t so profoundly disturbing, the irony would be funny. And in a really dark sense of the word, it is. The theme of this year’s two-part exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art was American…

Opera Gloves Were the Most Popular Accessory on the Met Gala Red Carpet

May 03, 2022 at 10:30PM Opera gloves seemed to be the accessory of choice at the 2022 Met Gala. While you can expect celebrities to wear ornate jewelry, statement-making handbags, and one-of-a-kind gowns on the red carpet, several stars chose to accessorize their looks with this Old Hollywood staple as well. It was a fitting choice given the “Gilded Glamour” theme of this year’s gala, as gloves are one of the most recognizable symbols of glamour and were a fashion mainstay during the late 1800s to early 1900s. On the red carpet, everyone from Olivia Rodrigo to Naomi Campbell styled their standout gowns with matching gloves. Rodrigo complemented her purple, Y2K-inspired Versace gown with a pair of sheer lavender opera gloves, a diamond necklace, dangling earrings, and a silver clutch. Campbell paired her black-embellished Burberry gown with matching gloves and a $6.6 million…
