Take Note—These Are the 6 Makeup Rules French Women Swear By

February 18, 2022 at 06:00AM We’ll say it: no one nails the art of effortless beauty like French girls. Call it a stereotype if you’d like, but French girls always seem to have the most beautiful makeup looks. Considering that France is home to some of beauty’s biggest names (think L’OrĂ©al, Guerlain and Clarins), it only makes sense that the French way of life is laced with nods to the country’s roots in beauty. It only takes a couple of minutes of roaming the streets in Paris to spot that French women know how to apply their makeup. Their skin is plump, smooth and glowing, their brows appear effortlessly preened, and their cheeks radiate a flush so healthy it leaves you wondering what their secret is. But wonder no more because we’ve reached out to French makeup artist Ewa Ciezkowska to uncover the six makeup tips French girls…

This Sell-Out Designer Bag Has Just Been Upgraded (and Restocked) for Spring

February 18, 2022 at 05:06AM When it comes to designer bags, our wish list is as long as the arms we’d dutifully carry them on. Of course, brands like Bottega Veneta, The Row, and Loewe feature prolifically on it, as do new-wave labels such as Khaite and Wandler. But the design house that claims the most spots on that list has to be ChloĂ©.  Relatively speaking, Chloé hasn’t been in the bag-making game all that long. Its first foray into arm-candy territory came in 2005 when it debuted the Paddington, a gold padlock-adorned leather tote, which sold out its first run of 8000 handbags before a single one even hit the boutique shelves, breaking retail records. Fast-forward 17 years, the French fashion powerhouse has bestowed us with more It bags than we can count. There’s Tess, C, Faye, Aby, Kattie, Juana, Joyce, Edith, Marcie and Kiss, to name a few. However, last year a new style emerged…

How Angus Cloud Became NYFW’s It Guy, According to His Stylist

February 17, 2022 at 11:45PM Angus Cloud caused quite the stir at several New York Fashion Week events this season. The 23-year-old actor, who portrays the lovable drug dealer Fezco in “Euphoria,” first made waves at Coach’s fall 2022 show in a bright-green collared jacket with shearling lining and blue and yellow stripes. He selected the piece with stylist Tiffany Briseno, who describes his style as “Oakland chic,” referencing the California native’s hometown. Briseno and Cloud always collaborate on outfits during fittings, and NYFW was an opportunity for them to “experiment and try all sorts of things to land on final looks,” Briseno tells POPSUGAR. “Hot Cheetos are the perfect accessory to a front row fashion show. Why not?” The real headline-making moment at Coach’s show, however, came when the brand’s presentation began. Sandwiched between Rina Sawayama and Megan Thee Stallion in the…

At Puma, June Ambrose Is Rewriting the Style Narrative For Women in Basketball

February 17, 2022 at 08:55PM At 51 years old, and with a long list of award-winning accomplishments under her belt, June Ambrose is just getting started. There was a time when luxury fashion didn’t regard hip-hop performers as worthy collaborators, but Ambrose’s work as a costume designer and stylist in the ‘90s was a game changer. She dressed high-profile artists like JAY-Z, Missy Elliott, and Diddy in boundary-pushing looks, from shiny silver suits to garbage-bag costumes. Current players in the streetwear and hip-hop space owe a lot to this pioneer, whose iconic looks changed the narrative - opening the gilded gates of high fashion to deserving music stars. As the current creative director of women’s basketball for Puma, she continues to push the envelope and shift paradigms. After quickly selling out her debut basketball-inspired lifestyle collection, High Court, for Puma, Ambrose left consumers…

Storm Reid’s Prada Train Blazer Is a Lesson in Power Dressing

February 17, 2022 at 08:40PM Storm Reid made a powerful entrance at Prada Mode in Los Angeles, when she arrived at the immersive art experience in a sharply tailored blazer, a white button-down shirt, and a matching mini skirt. A tiny black and silver belt cinched her waist, creating an hourglass figure that likely inspired Reid’s caption when she shared the look on Instagram writing, “Small waist pretty face.” A long train attached to the back of the blazer fell fluidly by her feet, conveying a regal air. “The queen is here,” Reid’s look seemed to say. Her look first made an appearance on Prada’s spring 2022 ready-to-wear runway, marking the start of a fruitful collaboration between creative directors Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons. With its dramatic flourishes and structured silhouette, Reid’s look could point toward the future of post-pandemic fashion. As many…

How to Take a Street Style Photo, Per NYFW’s Elite

February 17, 2022 at 08:01PM Ignoring the fact that it’s currently the dead of winter, New York Fashion Week was bursting with wardrobe inspiration for Fall 2022. And as always, that inspiration isn’t exclusive to the runways. While neutral hues, tailored coats and cinched waists were trending on the catwalk, spring brights, bucket hats and balaclavas, and mix-and-match textures were all the rage on the streets. But that’s the name of the street-style game — you first have to be noticed before you can be photographed. And in a crowd full of well-dressed wannabes, it’s harder than it looks. In addition to picking up more than a few ideas for our next shopping trip, we also felt compelled to analyze the anatomy of a street style shot: How do you achieve that perfect, Instagram-worthy unposed pose? Fear not, we gathered our learnings for…

Old Navy’s Extra High-Waisted Wide-Leg Jeans Are Perfect For Spring

February 17, 2022 at 07:05PM I’m very fussy when it comes to jeans - and I firmly believe that’s the way it should be. But that’s not to say I’m out here dropping hundreds of dollars on designer denim. In fact, I’ve found pairs I love from none other than Walmart (yes, really) and, most recently, Old Navy. The retailer’s Extra High-Waisted Sky Hi Ripped Wide-Leg Jeans For Women ($50) are my current obsession, and I firmly believe everyone needs them in their wardrobe for spring. These jeans check off all of my boxes. For starters, they fit me perfectly, which is great and all, but it’s the style that has me hooked. As someone who’s far from ready to jump on board the low-rise jeans trend, these make a strong case against doing so because they pair so perfectly with a blouse…
