Finding the perfect wedding dress can seem like a Herculean task, but thankfully there’s an array of elegant and effortless pieces to choose from this season, including satin minis, halter silhouettes, sequin-trimmed and off-shoulder styles.

Five Trends We Expect to See at the Met Gala

April 28, 2022 at 09:09PM We’re less than a week out from the first Monday of May, which makes for much anticipation, guest-list speculation and outfit predictions for the 2022 Met Gala. This year, the theme is “In America: An Anthology of Fashion,” with a white tie dress code that specifies “gilded glamour.” Stretching from 1870s to the 1900s, the Gilded Age was a period of rapid economic growth and income inequality, with society’s upper echelon donning extravagant and fanciful dress as a means of demonstrating wealth. “The 2022 Met Gala will ask its attendees to embody the grandeur — and perhaps the dichotomy — of Gilded Age New York,” Vogue stated in an article explaining the theme. As happens every year, we expect some to misinterpret the theme (this isn’t a Bridgerton party), and others to use the red carpet to make…

Only J Lo Could Make Paper-Bag Jeans and 6-Inch Heels Look Cool

April 28, 2022 at 07:00PM Jennifer Lopez’s love of heels for days running errands and festive nights alike is well-documented, and the singer continues to double down on her style philosophy. Most recently, she took to the streets of Beverly Hills to showcase her latest pair when she went shopping at Italian luxury store Brunello Cucinelli. Her 6-inch gray lace up heels were hard to miss as she strutted across Rodeo Drive for a solo shopping date. The rest of her outfit was kept semi-dressy with a pastel pussybow blouse - imprinted with a floral, painterly landscape - tucked into pleated baggy paper-bag jeans in a light blue shade. A pink crossbody bag hung on her shoulder, and together with her purple-tinted sunglasses and pink stone earrings, it played up the pastel theme nicely. She styled her hair into a high bun, allowing…

It’s Official — Trompe L’Oeil is Back

April 28, 2022 at 04:24PM Trompe L’Oeil, an art technique that uses realistic imagery to create the optical illusion that objects exist in three dimensions, has been around since the early 19th century. But the surrealist approach was first popularized in fashion by the designer Elsa Schiaparelli in 1927 on a knitted sweater, and it has since become a signature technique of the house. From then on, many designers have dabbled with the detail, last seen on the runways of Moschino, Loewe and Bottega Veneta for their Fall/Winter 2022 collections, while Coach and Marni incorporated the whimsical element in their Spring/Summer 2022 collections. As we head into fashion’s playful, dopamine direction, we expect to see elements like this become more prevalent in the next few seasons. Ready to add some cheeky details to your wardrobe? Here are a few pieces available on the…

Every Glamorous Look Blake Lively Wore to the Met Gala, From 2008 to Today

April 28, 2022 at 02:50PM Blake Lively has not walked the Met Gala steps since 2018, but that’s likely to change very soon. The 34-year-old actress and her husband Ryan Reynolds are this year’s co-chairs for the annual event that fundraises for the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. As part of the current exhibit, “In America: An Anthology of Fashion,” Lively will dress to fit the theme, which The New York Times’s chief fashion critic Vanessa Friedman described on Twitter as “Gilded Glamour.” The idea of elaborate and regal-esque outfits amidst the ongoing war in Ukraine has sparked controversy, with influencer Bryanboy making headlines for his comment, “Gilded glamour at a time of war, let them eat cake.” No matter your perspective on the 2022 Met Gala theme, there’s no arguing that Lively’s history of Met Gala appearances have fit…
