Dua Lipa Pirouettes in a Backless “Frock” and Knee-High Boots

March 15, 2022 at 01:15AM Dua Lipa has us falling in love again with backless dresses, and the zig-zag detailing on her “frock” is enough to make our heads spin. On March 14, the “Levitating” singer wore a black Khaite Dasa Crepe Midi Dress while attending the inauguration of Texas’s first Albanian language school. “The center promotes Albanian culture, art and music while offering language classes for 5-15 year olds ❤️,” wrote Dua, whose parents are Kosovo Albanian, on her Instagram Stories. At first glance, the dress is formal but chic, with the asymmetrical hemline hitting just above her ankles and the sleeves cutting off right above her wrists. But a quick pirouette in her New Bottega Lug Leather Knee-high Boots revealed a strappy criss-cross design that beautifully elevated the simple silhouette. “i like dancing in my new frock,” she captioned a video…

Simone Biles Celebrates Her Birthday in a Backless Halter Dress on the Beach

March 14, 2022 at 11:40PM Simone Biles celebrated her 25th birthday on Monday, and the dress code was decidedly Biles-has-mastered-the-beach casual. During a romantic getaway with her fiancĂ©, Jonathan Owens, in Turks and Caicos, Biles showed off her look on Instagram: a backless halter dress in a pastel pattern and a pair of translucent sunglasses. “FINE 🥵💍,” Owens commented on Biles’s post before sharing photos of Biles on his own account. From the front, the bodycon dress hits just above Biles’s mid thigh before wrapping around to reveal the backless design and necktie details. The Olympic gold medalist completed the look with cat-eye sunglasses, a white pedicure, and braids that stretched well past her waist. Of course, our favorite accessory was Biles’s massive diamond engagement ring, which sparkled as the couple soaked up the sun in honor of her special day. After cuddling…

Daniel Kaluuya, the Fashion Icon That You Are

March 14, 2022 at 08:45PM It was a busy weekend to be a celebrity. This year, the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs) were held on March 13, the same day as the Critics’ Choice Awards. Needless to say, the in-person events produced plenty of notable red carpet fashion, with British actor Daniel Kaluuya among the best dressed at the BAFTAs. On the red carpet, Kaluuya stepped out in a mohair-trimmed Prada coat, proving his love of daring menswear. The piece was plucked straight from Prada’s viral Fall/Winter 2022 collection, in which the label tapped silver screen legends like Jeff Goldblum and Kyle MacLachlan to walk the runway in elevated workwear. Photography courtesy of Prada“Actors are interpreters of reality, employed to echo truth through their portrayals,” the luxury house had stated of the runway show.

Not All Runway Gowns are Meant for the Red Carpet

March 14, 2022 at 07:53PM If Sunday’s Critics Choice Awards 2022 red carpet was any indication of what we can expect from the Oscars at the end of the month, then we are in for an interesting fashion experience. Perhaps it’s due to the high voltage looks we’ve seen on recent red carpets, or maybe it’s because we just came out of four fashion weeks, but the celebrity looks at the CCA’s fell a little… flat. Photography by Getty ImagesFirst, the positives. Selena Gomez stunned in custom Louis Vuitton. Elle Fanning glowed in her golden Oscar de la Renta gown. And Kirsten Stewart, in a very unexpected decision, didn’t wear Chanel and opted for an understated Dolce & Gabbana dress. Photography by Getty ImagesNow the lows. Lady Gaga’s Gucci gown was all over the place. Margaret Qualley’s Chanel ensemble looked dated. Even HoYeon…
