Rue’s Malcolm X Shirt Has a Symbolic Meaning

February 15, 2022 at 12:15AM Another week, another sneaky “Euphoria” Easter egg hidden among the drama. During season two’s sixth episode, Rue (Zendaya) wears an oversize Malcolm X graphic tee that fans on Twitter instantly clocked as a rare find hailing from the clothing brand Mosquitohead, but the sartorial choice isn’t just a tribute to the late civil rights leader in honor of Black History Month - it’s also a subtle callback to a past conversation Rue had with Ali (Colman Domingo). To really appreciate this full-circle moment, let’s rewind to the first of two “Euphoria” special episodes, “Trouble Don’t Last Always,” which aired in December 2020. While Rue and Ali converse over pancakes at a diner on Christmas Eve, Ali touches on Malcolm X’s personal journey to effecting social change and how America was generally more receptive to Martin Luther King Jr.’s…

The New Fall Dressing Rules, According to Christian Siriano

February 14, 2022 at 10:00PM On the concourse level of the Empire State Building on Saturday night, the anticipation was high for Christian Siriano, one of the most recognizable designers on the New York Fashion Week calendar. “What is real anymore?” the show notes read, proposing a timely question as we slowly emerge from a pandemic that has rewritten dressing codes and overhauled the fashion industry as we know it. “Some days feel like we are living in the Victorian era, while others feel like we’re living in the Matrix,” Siriano continued. His proposition? The Victorian Matrix. Models paraded in extravagant silhouettes - some wearable, some avant-garde - drenched in a classic autumnal palette of black and deep blue. There was lots of patent leather fashioned into an asymmetric dress, a power suit, a bow-front strapless midi, and even long “Bridgerton”-inspired gloves. Elsewhere,…

The 20+ Christopher John Rogers Pieces Our Editor Is Loving For Spring

February 14, 2022 at 09:25PM At the moment, no designer makes me feel more inspired to express myself and exude joy through what I wear quite like Christopher John Rogers. The visionary creates vibrant clothing in dramatic silhouettes that make waves both on the runway and with major celebrities like Simone Biles and Adele. Also, let’s not forget about his affordable line with Target that was a massive hit. From rainbow knit dresses to structured corset tops, each design is a work of art. You could wear them to a gala or out to dinner with friends because they’re versatile, too. For 2022, Rogers plays with his classic rainbow hues in ways you’ve never imagined.

Rue Proves That Healing Isn’t Supposed to be Linear in Euphoria

February 14, 2022 at 09:26PM Euphoria is Gen Z’s headlining production, and Zendaya is its shining star. The actor has continued to captivates viewers of the HBO drama (now in its second season) with her performance as Rue Bennett, a recovering drug addict. Rue is the series’ unreliable narrator, bringing levity as she takes viewers through the messy web of side plots in Euphoria. As the leading character, fans of the show are most intimately familiar with Rue: she can be goofy and loveable one moment, and manipulative and cruel the next. She’s nuanced and complex, and her style is too. Photo courtesy of Eddy Chen/HBOUnlike her teen peers in the hyper-glamourized Euphoria universe, Rue’s outfits are practical. Always paired with her high-top black Converse, she mainly wears hoodies, graphic oversized tees, basketball shorts or cargo pants, and has an affinity for layering…

How I Use A Vision Board to Turn Dream to RealityFebruary 14, 2022 at 09:00PM A vision board is a really powerful tool in creating the life you desire for yourself. Personally, I have been doing vision boards for the last 10 years! I will never forget watching an Oprah episode when I was a teenager that delved into vision boards and the incredible capacity they have to manifest, which really inspired me. Oprah herself described how much she loved creating them – and how they played a key role in helping her attract her dreams and goals! What is it exactly?  A vision board is a simple yet powerful visualisation tool that manifests your dreams into reality by activating the ‘Law of Attraction’… and it really works from my experience. So what does a vision board look like? It consists of a…

Is Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl Outfit a Janet Jackson Tribute? Let’s Investigate

February 14, 2022 at 07:35PM Kendrick Lamar spent Janet Jackson Appreciation Day - er, Super Bowl Sunday - honoring the music icon herself. While performing during the halftime show with Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, Eminem, and more on Feb. 13, the rapper seemed to pay tribute to Jackson’s “Rhythm Nation 1814” era in an all-black suit that gave us early ‘90s flashbacks. Lamar’s suit was pulled from the late Virgil Abloh’s final Louis Vuitton menswear collection. It consisted of a double-breasted jacket and flared pants with slits at the bottom, and he accessorized by draping several Tiffany & Co. diamond necklaces and bracelets from dazzling brooches by the jeweler. He also wore a single leather glove, six Tiffany & Co. diamond rings, one drop earring, sunglasses, and a bandana secured around his arm with a gold cross-shaped clip. Related: Lizzo’s Super Bowl…
