How to Build a Capsule Wardrobe That Will Last a Lifetime

March 28, 2022 at 05:06AM Not so long ago, the fashion world was buzzing about the concept of a capsule wardrobe—the kind of compact closet that only held the minimum number of pieces that matched each other with great ease and that allowed for much time saved in the mornings. Perhaps because the economic downturn hit at the same time that a furious decade of fast fashion was taking a toll on our closets, the capsule wardrobe appeared to be the solution to everyone’s fashion woes.Around that time in 2014, Caroline Rector, a Texan and fashion lover who’d had enough of the chaos, began to whittle down her closet to a mere 37 pieces, documenting the process on her brilliant website, Unfancy. And everyone paid attention to her method.Now that a few years have passed, we decided it was finally time to catch up with the capsule-wardrobe guru for a…

Lady Gaga Shimmered at Every Turn in Dramatic Pre-Oscars Gown

March 28, 2022 at 03:45AM Lady Gaga might have skipped the Oscars red carpet, but she’s still set to present at the award show. The “House of Gucci” actor stopped by an Oscars viewing party hosted by the Elton John AIDS Foundation before making her way to the main event. In a Marilyn Monroe-inspired look, Gaga dressed in a strapless tulle gown in a gorgeous pale yellow shade. The dramatic number was adorned with tiny glittering sequins, which subtly sparkled at every turn. Though Gaga surprisingly received no Oscar nominations for her role as Patrizia Reggiani in “House of Gucci,” she certainly dressed like a winner. She accessorized with a sparkly diamond necklace and earrings and rocked a bright-red lip and styled updo. The multihyphenate often opts for Old Hollywood glamour when it comes to her red carpet appearances, most recently in a…

Beyoncé and Blue Ivy Match in Neon Yellow For Their Oscars Performance

March 28, 2022 at 03:30AM BeyoncĂ© Knowles-Carter’s much-anticipated performance at the 2022 Oscars turned out to be yet another shared fashion moment between the star and her daughter, Blue Ivy Carter. Swathed in neon yellow sequins from David Koma, Knowles set the tennis-inspired color palette for the rest of the dancers behind her - one of whom was Blue - as she sang Oscar-nominated song “Be Alive” from “King Richard” at the Compton, CA, tennis court where Serena and Venus Williams got their start. Knowles’s own look, a feather-adorned dress with a slick, see-through skirt and gloves, was a combination of two different David Koma designs that recently hit the runway: one red dress in the same asymmetrical silhouette from fall 2022, and, more recognizably, a similar chartreuse midi dress from spring 2022. Knowles and her stylist, Marni Senofonte, went for the thigh-high…

Ariana DeBose, Tracee Ellis Ross, and More Celebrities Wearing Red at the Oscars

March 28, 2022 at 02:45AM Wearing red on the red carpet was once considered risquĂ©, but the 2022 Oscars proved that celebs are warming up to the idea. Perhaps it’s because scarlet is one of spring’s biggest color trends, so it should come as no surprise that it made several noteworthy appearances on the Oscars red carpet. From Tracee Ellis Ross’s drop-waist Carolina Herrera ball gown to Ariana DeBose’s custom Valentino pant suit (completed by a matching piece that was part shawl, part train), the fiery hue was an undeniably popular choice for fashionistas and Oscar winners alike. Other celebrities who embraced the red trend included Jennifer Garner, who channeled minimalist elegance in an off-shoulder Brandon Maxwell column dress; Amy Forsyth, who stepped out in a high slit, ruffled Marchesa princess gown; Rosie Perez, who opted for a halter top Christian Siriano draped…

The “Happier Than Ever” singer attended the award show in a strapless black Gucci gown featuring rows upon rows of cascading ruffles and a train that trailed behind her.

Made of vegan patent leather, her boots hail from alternative footwear brand Demonia and have been previously worn by fellow icon Lady Gaga. Eilish chose some pretty special accessories for her big night. According to E!’s red carpet reporters, her star-shaped diamond earrings were converted from a 19th-century tiara.

Laverne Cox Embraces Retro Glamour on the Oscars Red Carpet

March 28, 2022 at 02:15AM For her role as the 2022 Oscars’ preshow host, Laverne Cox stunned in a strapless black velvet gown by August Getty Atelier. Showcasing an angular neckline, a fitted bodice, and a voluminous exaggerated waist, the couture design introduced an element of Victorian glamour to the red carpet while still feeling modern and architectural.

Rachel Zegler Sparkles in a Sheer Backless Gown at the Oscars

March 28, 2022 at 02:00AM Rachel Zegler is getting her Oscars moment after all. After she initially publicized that she wasn’t invited to the award show despite “West Side Story”’s seven nominations, the Academy extended an invite to the actor as a presenter. While it may have been last minute, Zegler still managed to choose a standout look for her Oscars debut. Styled by Sarah Slutsky, the actor wore a sheer black couture gown from Christian Dior’s spring 2022 collection paired with a gold choker and rings. The sleeveless scoop-neck dress sparkled from every angle, featuring diamond appliquĂ©s and an open back, a far departure from her original planned outfit. Prior to getting invited to the ceremony, when asked by a fan on Instagram what she’d be wearing Oscars night, she had responded, “i’m not invited so sweatpants and my boyfriend’s flannel.” Fortunately,…
