Billie Eilish Responds to Critics Who Put Her on the Oscars Worst Dressed List

April 01, 2022 at 05:05PM Billie Eilish stuck to an all-black color palette at the Oscars, walking the red carpet in a custom Gucci moirĂ© off-the-shoulder gown with pleated ruffles that cascaded down to the floor. She teamed the dress with mesh tights, vegan patent-leather platform boots by Demonia, and star-shaped diamond earrings and rings. It’s no surprise Eilish wore Gucci; she’s a muse of the fashion house and friends with designer Alessandro Michele. But while her Gucci looks usually garner praise, this time, fashion critics placed her on their “worst dressed” lists. Eilish has always been candid about her decision to wear whatever she wants - whether that’s a loose-fitting tracksuit or a tight corset - so true to form, she let her TikTok followers know exactly how she feels about the criticism. Sitting on the toilet, the 20-year-old singer saluted user…

Inside a Sustainable Fashion Collector’s Closet

April 01, 2022 at 03:39PM Sarah Jay’s collection of sustainable and locally made styles had a bit of a brutal beginning. “Early in my career, I had an existential crisis,” admits the Toronto-based celebrity stylist, eco activist and conceiver of the documentary Toxic Beauty. “I just felt like I was drowning in excess. I loved fashion, but I was concerned about where our clothing was coming from and how it was being disposed of.” Al Gore’s 2006 documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, is partially to blame for Jay’s self-reflection. “That film really fact-checked me and opened my mind, but it also coincided with the worsening of my chemical sensitivities,” she says, referring to the by-product of her days submerged in chlorine as a synchronized swimmer and her self-described addiction to hair dye and beauty products. As her health declined, Jay adopted a new and…

This French-Girl Shoe Trend Is All I Want to Wear This Spring

April 01, 2022 at 09:00AM Ballet flats are less a trend than an icon. Over the years, the dainty shoe has become a fully fledged classic. And not just the past few years— Chanel’s version has been popular since 1957 when Audrey Hepburn first wore them the set of Funny face. So just a casual 65 years being one of fashion’s most coveted shoes, then. If you were debating whether you’ll get enough wear out of an investment pair— that fact might just help make the decision for you. Chanel’s iconic ballet flats are so timeless. Their popularity is undoubtedly thanks, in part, to Chanel’s iconic iteration and the effortless French-girl-style connotations that come with them. But it’s also a result of how versatile ballet pumps can be. Dressed up or down, they add a polished finishing touch to any outfit— from a casual T-shirt and…

French Women Are After This One Style of Jeans Right Now

April 01, 2022 at 08:00AM If there’s one thing we know to be true about French women and fashion, it’s that they love to keep an unfussy wardrobe. Key pieces they always have on standby include a perfect white shirt, a well-tailored black blazer and classic black heels. They also love their jeans. But we’re not talking about any old denim style. Our columnist Marissa Cox told us back in September last year that since she moved to Paris, she discovered that French girls love straight-leg jeans. And while we’re sure no Parisian woman is going to ditch those anytime soon, we’ve got new intel that says French girls are now loving another style. According to data from Lyst, the global fashion search platform, high-rise wide-leg jeans are the exact style French women—in particular, Parisian women—can’t get enough of right now. In fact, searches…

Here’s What a Dermatologist Really Thinks About These 6 Viral Skincare Products

April 01, 2022 at 08:00AM While social media can be a hub for all things fashion and beauty, skincare is a topic that can get a little tricky, especially when certain products start to trend. I’d be lying if I said I haven’t been guilty of succumbing to a viral product only to be disappointed when it didn’t exactly work for my skin. While following trends for clothes and makeup can be an easier feat, with skincare, it’s crucial to be cautious because what works for others may not work for you, and some products may seem like they’re working but can actually cause damage and irritation later on. It’s important to pay close attention to the ingredients before purchasing a product and to consult an expert if possible, especially if you’re facing specific skin concerns. Since I’ve been seeing quite a few products circulate around social media that have…

Not All Street Style Is Out-There—These 7 Chic Looks Are So Easy to Copy

April 01, 2022 at 08:00AM We admit street style during fashion month can get a little wild. There are some people who go all out for shows in fabulous tulle dresses and heels higher than you could ever imagine walking in (let alone looking effortlessly fabulous in)—and we have the utmost respect for them. But it’s not all feathers and tutus. Most of us attending are running around from show to show, jumping on the Tube and dealing with gale force winds (thanks, Eunice) as we try to scoff a Pret sandwich before the next event begins. This also means our outfits actually need to be easy, comfortable and mostly practical, as well as chic. That’s not to say these looks are any less inspiring. On the contrary, it’s often the more understated, wearable outfits that get us the most excited when we spot them across…
