Diane Kruger Is No Longer the Ingénue

January 06, 2022 at 05:00AM “I’m really grateful” is something I hear about a dozen times in various forms during my hour-long Zoom call with Diane Kruger—be it for the unexpected opportunity to spend a year at home with her daughter and fiancĂ©, actor Norman Reedus, during lockdown; the honor of having gowns custom-made for her by close friends like Prabal Gurung and the late Karl Lagerfeld; or the chance to work with “really kick-ass women who are all mothers and working and successful at what they do” in her latest project The 355. The female-led action flick—in which she, along with Jessica Chastain, Lupita Nyong’o, Fan Bingbing, and PenĂ©lope Cruz, is put in charge of saving, well, everyone from World War III—is one of six projects in the works for the 45-year-old actress. And if all that (in addition to styling herself into…

This Is How Easy It Is to Style a Gucci Belt

January 06, 2022 at 04:20AM If there’s one brand that has been inescapable over the past few years, it's Gucci. Since 2015, under the creative direction of Alessandro Michele, the brand has become one of the hottest fashion houses around. Thanks to Alessandro’s exciting and fresh vision, countless other designers and high-street brands have followed the “edgy grandma from the ‘70s” trend. But the real secret of the fashion house’s success lies in its accessibility. While some opt to wear the brand sunglasses to platforms, others dip a toe in with a bag or a pair of shoes. But one of the easiest ways to get the Gucci look? The now-iconic double-G belt.It has a cool but goes-with-everything-in-your-wardrobe appeal that makes it a must for both diehard fashion lovers and your mum. To keep it interesting, the brand has reimagined the GG belts in different ways—from the classic black, brown and white…

Julia Fox Wears a Very Polarizing Trend – Thong Pants – For a Night Out With Kanye West

January 06, 2022 at 03:35AM The internet is buzzing about rumored new couple Kanye West and Julia Fox after the two were spotted on back-to-back dates just a few days into the new year. Most recently, on Tuesday evening, the rapper and actor went to see Slave Play on Broadway and headed to dinner at Carbone afterwards, sparking more chatter about whether the duo were dating. I was admittedly curious as well, but not so much about their relationship status - I was more fascinated by Julia’s date night outfit of choice, which consisted of a lot of Balenciaga and low-rise cutout pants. The Uncut Gems actor was photographed walking with Ye wearing head-to-toe black, including a short-sleeved fitted top with a high neck, leather trench coat, and croc-embossed purse, all from Balenciaga, of course. It goes without saying that Kanye has heavily…

The Balaclava is Having a Moment

January 05, 2022 at 08:57PM With the rise of protective dressing thanks to COVID-19, a new face-bundling trend is taking the fashion world by storm: the balaclava. Though the knitted hood is currently enjoying renewed notoriety online, it’s been around for centuries. The name itself comes from the town of Balaklava, Crimea, where during the 19th century Crimean War soldiers wore hand-knitted masks to provide extra protection against harsh weather conditions. @youngchickenpox balaclava balaclava balaclava🤰#balaclava ♬ Everywhereigo – Babyxsosa The hat/scarf combo is typically made of wool and comes in many variations: those with entire face openings; those with openings for the eyes, mouth and nose; and those with openings only for the eyes.

Hoyeon Jung Is Vogue’s February Star, and It Might Just Be Our New Favorite Cover

January 05, 2022 at 08:35PM At a young age, Squid Game star Hoyeon Jung didn’t have any interest in modeling or the fashion industry. This might come as a surprise considering the 27-year-old’s breathtaking Vogue cover spread for the publication’s February issue, but as she explained during an interview with Monica Kim, “I was tall, and people on the street would tell me to be a model, so I thought, Why not try it? I’ve always been ambitious. I liked the challenge and kept wanting to go to the next level.” And to the next level she keeps going. Since her breakthrough performance as a North Korean competitor on Netflix’s hit show Squid Game, the model turned actor has continued to solidify her prominence in the fashion industry. Following the success of the Korean drama, Louis Vuitton named her its newest global ambassador…
