Chloe Bailey Rivals Barbie in Baby Pink Miu Miu

January 20, 2022 at 09:20PM Chloe Bailey must have Barbie on speed dial, because her latest outfit looks straight out of the Dreamhouse’s walk-in closet. Equipped with a $3,900 Louis Vuitton purse, the “Have Mercy” singer stepped onto the court ahead of a Lakers game on Jan. 19 to snap a few photos of her bubblegum pink look. Posing in a white crop top and pink Miu Miu track pants, Bailey showed off a chic bomber jacket complete with the Miu Miu logo embroidered on the front. “Life is goooood 🏀💕,” she captioned the photo of her look. Bailey completed the designer ensemble with a pair of molded rubber Balenciaga sandals in candy pink, giving the outfit the final je ne sais quoi that Barbie would definitely approve of. In the comments section, fans compared Bailey’s look to everything from a bottle of…

Heads Up: Party Hats Are Back

January 20, 2022 at 06:59PM There’s a generally maximalist mood that’s sunk into every aspect of fashion lately. We’re well into the next roaring ‘20s, and our wardrobes are catching up to that mood: it’s time to swap the sweatpants and normcore for something more fun. Sequins, silks, and bright colors are flouncing down runways and saturating streetwear scenes. Nowhere is this shift to ultraglamour made more apparent than with hats. We let the allure of fashionable hats slip for a while, didn’t we? It’s impossible to blame it all on the recent fashion downtime that was (forcefully) ushered in by the multiyear-long pandemic. The glamour of hats of the 1950s and '60s dissolved over the past few decades. Hats became boring, addressing utilitarian needs only: beanies pulled down to cover chilly ears and baseball brims provided shade. Thank the Fashion Gods that…

January 20, 2022 at 06:50PM We all have dressy days, but if we’re being honest, our go-to wardrobe is made up of elevated basics that can be styled for any occasion. A tank top for a quick coffee run, a satin blouse for office parties, and casual blue jeans because everyone needs at least one pair.

Quick Question: Are Varsity Jackets the New Leather Jacket?

January 20, 2022 at 06:25PM When my current favorite couple, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, had a rare public date night in West Hollywood last week, they looked every bit the fashion icons (naturally). The baggy sweats they wore to Nobu were delightfully, unconventionally cool, but the standout piece for me was Rocky’s mustard-yellow varsity jacket. It was a vintage piece - an actual 2003 jacket from an actual Catholic high school named St. John Vianney somewhere in the middle of New Jersey - but that only made it better. Image Source: Backgrid After staring at the pictures for an absurdly long time (and setting up an eBay alert for “vintage mustard varsity jacket”), I realized A$AP Rocky wasn’t the only one I’d seen wearing an enviable varsity jacket lately. Image Source: Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, Burberry, and Off-White Varsity jackets have been popping up…

Bridgerton Season Two is Still Blue-Dress Obsessed

January 20, 2022 at 06:23PM Full disclosure: I love blue. While it might be known as the basic you-know-what of the colour wheel, I can’t help myself. It’s an addiction! My house is blue; my coat is blue; my nails are blue; the list is relatively endless. But even for a blue-fangled fanatic like myself, I have to ask: Bridgerton season two, what’s with the obsession? If you watched the first season of the Netflix phenomenon, you’ll know instantly what I’m talking about. Whether it was for a casual romp in the garden or a full-blown ball, heroine Daphne was scarcely seen on screen without a minty frock, and the pastel was christened as ‘Bridgerton Blue’ by fans and media outlets alike.

Are We in the Age of Acne Acceptance?

January 20, 2022 at 03:47PM Nothing lives in my head rent free quite like a Proactiv infomercial. In the early 2000s, the brand’s ads would play during American Idol commercial breaks, and despite being a kid with no first-hand knowledge of acne (yet), I was convinced Proactiv was the It Brand for any and all skin woes. For years, Proactiv’s celebrity-fronted advertisements featured success stories where people shared testimonials about the shame they felt before the company’s products “fixed” their skin. This approach earned the brand criticism, and it was most notably slammed in 2019 when Kendall Jenner signed on as its newest face, with many accusing the campaign of lacking authenticity. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kendall (@kendalljenner) Across all its ads, though, Proactiv’s messaging was clear: good skin is skin without any blemishes, texture or scarring. But…
