Barbados Parts Ways With the Queen And Names Rihanna National Hero

November 30, 2021 at 08:10PM Rihanna — world-renowned singer, beauty mogul and fashion designer — can now add National Hero of Barbados to her list of titles. At a ceremony held on November 29, the Caribbean island officially became a republic after removing Queen Elizabeth II as head of state. Naturally, one of the nation’s first acts of celebration was to honour Rihanna, who was raised in the capital city of Bridgetown. Attending the ceremony in a Bottega Veneta orange silk dress, Rihanna, born Robyn Rihanna Fenty, was given the honour by Prime Minister Mia Mottley. “May you continue to shine like a diamond and bring honour to your nation by your works, by your actions, and to do credit wherever you shall go,” said Mottley, referencing Rihanna’s 2012 hit “Diamonds.” Now titled “The Right Honourable Robyn Rihanna Fenty,” the 33-year-old is the…

Chocolate Gingerbread MuffinsNovember 30, 2021 at 05:00PM Ring in the holidays with these healthy chocolate gingerbread muffins that are moist, packed-full of flavor and healthy ingredients! They’re full of rich chocolately flavors plus a spicy gingerbread kick. I’ve always loved combining foods and seeing what would happen.

Zendaya Brought Big Villain Energy in This Vintage Cavalli Dress

November 30, 2021 at 05:35PM The red carpet has never looked so venomous. On Nov. 29, Zendaya and Tom Holland attended the 2021 Ballon d'Or football awards in Paris looking dashing as ever. The ceremony, which honors the best men’s and women’s football players, had the Spider-Man: No Way Home actress channelling her inner villain with a fabulously frightening designer outfit. Zendaya wore a custom Roberto Cavalli metal spine dress designed by Fausto Puglisi and styled by Law Roach. The formfitting dress featured a boat neckline and three-quarter sleeves, but the second Zendaya turned around, we knew that this was so much more than a simple black red carpet look. The open back was adorned with a two-headed, gold, reptile-like figure stretching down her spine. With diamonds filling up the creature’s mouth and embellishments dripping down the back, we can all agree that…

We Can 99% Guarantee You’ve Never Seen Side-Cutout Pants Like Halsey’s

November 30, 2021 at 05:15PM Halsey has a special knack for making divisive fashion trends look surprisingly chic. After inspiring us to reconsider our aversion to low-rise pants earlier this fall, the “Without Me” singer proved that cutout pants are actually wearable, and now we’re thisclose to finally splurging on a pair. While sitting courtside at a Lakers game with boyfriend Alev Aydin this week, Halsey wore I.Am.Gia’s Damina Pants, featuring strappy hip cutouts somewhat reminiscent of butterfly wings. In case you need extra assistance locating the skin-baring openings, which extend all the way from her belly button to her lower back, they’re outlined in silver studs to really grab your attention. Of course, Halsey didn’t solely wear her daring pants for the occasion; they tied the look together with a vintage-looking Clash graphic T-shirt, silver chain necklaces, pointed-toe animal-print pumps, chunky hoop…

I Wore This Cardigan to Thanksgiving Dinner, and Everyone Gave Me Compliments

November 30, 2021 at 05:00PM My favorite compliment - hands down - is when someone tells me they like my outfit. It can be someone I know, or literally a stranger at Target- if they tell me they like my outfit, I’m ready to be their new best friend. I recently got a bunch of new stuff from Old Navy, including a quilted jacket I’m obsessed with, but the item that’s been getting me the most compliments? This Old Navy Cozy Textured Button-Front Cardigan Sweater ($45). If there’s one item in my closet that I can count on to never go out of style- it’s a cardigan. Year after year and season after season, I continually see them being styled in different ways. I try to get a new one every year because I know how often I wear them. In the summer…

Zara Just Dropped Its Party Collection and It’s Amazing

November 30, 2021 at 02:30PM The only thing I look forward to more than Zara’s big but brief Black Friday sale is what always comes right after it: a brand-new collection that rivals even the most drastic of discounts.
