March 04, 2022 at 11:25PM From Instagram to TikTok, and thanks to fictional characters like “Euphoria”’s Lexi and shows like “Gossip Girl,” the dark academia aesthetic has emerged from the fringes to bring a host of preppy pieces to the mainstream. Dark academia outfits usually consist of plaid separates, turtlenecks, and tweed suiting in a moody palette of black, gray, blue, or dark brown. Tracing back to Tumblr in 2015, dark academia embraces a classic collegiate look that’s often described as preppy, with staples like Oxford shirts, blazers, trench coats, and duffel bags. Most pieces will easily pass the school dress code, while conveying an edgy attitude combined with a sense of effortless cool. Spanning several disciplines - such as classical literature, roman languages, art, architecture, and poetry - Dark Academia draws from a time when upper classes encouraged liberal education.

March 04, 2022 at 10:50PM The low-rise denim trend has officially reached unprecedented levels. Consider Tracee Ellis Ross’s jean heels at Paris Fashion Week. After openly rejecting and reluctantly accepting the success of the controversial jeans trend, we can’t help but marvel at this new unexpected denim accessory. Ross rocked a pair of heels from the Loewe Fall 2022 collection that appear to cut the waist and legs out of a pair of jeans, resulting in a pile of fabric bunched around her ankles that’s somehow mind-boggling and chic at the same time. Like the fabric missing from the upper half of a pair of low-rise jeans, Ross’s heels feature a tent of denim draped around a standard pointed-toe heel in black, making us wonder what could be hiding under all that material. Extra clothes? Her phone? Snacks? “BLUE JEAN BABY,” Ross captioned…

March 04, 2022 at 10:00PM From the drama and comedy to the guest judges and Pit Crew, there’s a lot to love about “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” However, arguably one the strongest parts of this Emmy award-winning show is the runway, more notably, the fashion! This major aspect of “Drag Race,” is arguably the crux of the show, and subtle references to iconic high-fashion moments just add a whole other layer to it. These moments on “Drag Race” are always dropped like Easter eggs, barely mentioned and rarely explained. In honor of that notion, please enjoy some of the show’s all-time high-fashion moments. This isn’t a complete list of every great referential runway moment, considering “Drag Race” has blessed us with multiple seasons, dozens of beautiful, international queens to fall in love with, and hundreds of runway stomps. However, read on for just a…

March 04, 2022 at 08:40PM Since announcing that she’s expecting her second child with longtime boyfriend Matte Babel, Shay Mitchell has stepped out in next-level maternity looks. On Tuesday, the Canadian actor headed to “Watch What Happens Live” with Andy Cohen in an iridescent minidress with a plunging neckline and tiny straps. With its metallic structure and glittering sheen, the design is reminiscent of classic space-age silhouettes - a theme stylist Monica Rose pushed further with a gold trench coat, silver hoop earrings, strappy stilettos, and a metallic bag. Taking a cue from Rihanna’s maternity-style philosophy, Mitchell’s look exuded confidence and femininity. Earlier this week, the “Pretty Little Liars” star posed in a brown cropped cardigan fastened by linked safety pins. Mitchell captioned the post, “Every sweater is a maternity sweater if your safety pins work hard enough 💫.” Her clever styling hack…

March 04, 2022 at 07:10PM Fashion Week always brings out the best street style moments of the season. Sure the catwalks dictate future trends, but the streets show us how to style the garments we already own. Coming out of lockdown, street style went in a totally new direction for the Fall 2022 season. Even as we all set aside our loungewear and filled our social calendars, comfort was still king, as seen through a series of relaxed yet elevated silhouettes. Eager to return to event dressing, some show-goers embraced bold, eye-catching color, in everything from coats and pants to accessories. Others continued to prioritize practicality and comfort, placing their bets on neutral wardrobe staples. Among the dressy set, statement outerwear emerged as a major trend for winter, and equally important are the shoes show-goers wore to brave the cold. Two-tone boots signaled…

March 04, 2022 at 06:15PM Dua Lipa has a new rule: you can’t leave the house without at least one item of fuzzy clothing. On March 3, the “Levitating” singer stopped by “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” wearing a head-turning outfit from NYC-based brand Area. Styled by Lorenzo Posocco, Lipa wore black feather thigh-high platform boots and a matching houndstooth set. On top, the heart-shaped green and yellow crop top is outlined with crystals, and her matching skirt features pockets lined with crystals and colorful feathers down the sides. Lipa paired her outfit with a link chain necklace, small hoop earrings, rings, and crystal-covered bangles. She’s currently on tour for her “Future Nostalgia” album, and this recent stop in New York City is looking especially stylish. Earlier that day, Lipa rocked an Elmo-inspired fuzzy red Bottega Veneta outfit, as she’s fully leaning…
