Forget a Family Holiday Card: These Photos of the Wades at the Gucci Love Parade Will Do

November 03, 2021 at 04:08PM It’s a family affair! On Tuesday night, Gabrielle Union, Dwyane Wade, and Zaya Wade were out in full force for the Gucci Love Parade in Los Angeles, and they looked fabulous. The family sat in the front row as celebrities like Macaulay Culkin, Jodie Turner-Smith, and more strutted down Hollywood Boulevard donning Gucci’s finest pieces. Styled by Thomas Christos, Gabrielle wore a gorgeous coral cutout Gucci dress, a metallic clutch, and aqua pumps, while Zaya stunned in a pink Gucci shorts suit. She gripped a matching pink purse and rocked beige mules. On the other side of the color wheel, Dwyane was styled by Jason Bolden and looked dashing in a black turtleneck and pants, white sneakers, and a long silk polka-dot coat. The range this family has! The Wades hung out with Vanessa and Natalia Bryant, as…

BRB, Framing Every Photo From Jodie Turner-Smith and Joshua Jackson’s J.Crew Campaign

November 03, 2021 at 03:57PM Santa, there’s no need to stop by my home this Christmas, ‘cause I already received the best possible early present from Jodie Turner-Smith and Joshua Jackson. The charming power couple teamed up to star in J.Crew’s new holiday campaign, and seeing them model the clothes in tandem is sparking more joy than tearing through the wrapping paper on a giant present. For the photo shoot, Jodie and Joshua suited up in various festive pieces from the brand’s latest seasonal collection, including wool sweaters, coordinating suits, and cozy pajamas. (I don’t know about you, but I’ve personally got my eye on the red cashmere slip dress Jodie wore!) While speaking with J.Crew for the campaign, Jodie shared a sweet anecdote about her hubby’s generosity. “Josh is an excellent - and one might even say extravagant - gift giver, which…

Gucci Shuts Down Hollywood With Jared Leto on the Runway, Miley and Lizzo in the Front Row

November 03, 2021 at 03:04PM Hot pants and grandma cardigans, animal-eared beanies and bow-ties, and lace-up leather gloves with shield sunglasses. Gucci shut down Hollywood Boulevard on Tuesday Nov. 2 so Alessandro Michele could use the Walk of Fame as a runway for his Love Parade. If you know the fashion world, particularly the Milan based fashion house and its ability to create a spectacle (and now only twice a year), this may not seem so far-fetched or out of the ordinary, but the celebrity influence was pulsating. Jared Leto, Macaulay Culkin, Jodie Turner-Smith, St. Vincent, Phoebe Bridgers, Steve Lacy, and Miranda July were just some of the famous faces cast in the show, while the Wade family, Miley Cyrus, Lizzo, Tracee Ellis Ross, Dakota Johnson, Vanessa and Natalia Bryant, EJ and Cookie Johnson, and Gwyneth Paltrow, in a replica of her famous…

Diggstown Tackles Birth Alerts and the Policy’s Disproportionate Impact on Indigenous Women

November 03, 2021 at 01:56PM In the November 3 episode of Diggstown, CBC’s ground-breaking legal drama, the show’s creators zero in on birth alerts, a controversial practice in which child welfare agencies notify hospitals and birth centres when an expectant mother is believed to be “high risk,” often resulting in the seizure of the baby without consent. It’s a policy that has been widely condemned for its disproportionate impact on Indigenous and Black women. And while Diggstown is scripted TV, the show’s creator/showrunner Floyd Kane and episode director Juanita Peters want viewers — and Canadians — to know that this is not a fictional policy, nor is it something from the distant past. Nova Scotia (where Diggstown is set) and Quebec still practice birth alerts, while British Columbia, Alberta and the Yukon ceased the policy in 2019. Manitoba and Ontario only stopped issuing…

Gwyneth Paltrow Wears a Replica of Her 1996 Red Gucci Suit For the Brand’s 2021 Fashion Show

November 03, 2021 at 01:40PM Gwyneth Paltrow attended Gucci’s Love Parade fashion show wearing a replica of her vintage ‘90s suit by the brand. Hosted on Tuesday, Nov. 2 on Los Angeles’s Hollywood Boulevard, Paltrow’s suit was inspired by one from her own wardrobe, which the star previously wore to the 1996 MTV Video Music Awards. Whatever’s in the Goop, it sure is helping Paltrow age backwards. The star’s vintage red Gucci suit was designed by previous creative director Tom Ford for the brand’s fall/winter 1996 collection. The suit worn by Paltrow for Gucci’s 2021 Love Parade show was designed by current creative director Alessandro Michele for Gucci’s 100th anniversary collection in April 2021. To confirm how iconic this look is for Paltrow’s wardrobe, the star styled the suit just like she did in 1996 - with a light blue oxford shirt, red…

How To Take Care Of A Fiddle Leaf Fig Tree

How To Take Care Of A Fiddle Leaf Fig TreeNovember 03, 2021 at 10:15AM Sharing tips on how to take care of a fiddle leaf fig tree, how often to water it, how much water, how much sunlight, all of those important questions! Meet Frida Kahlo. She’s our gorgeous fiddle leaf fig plant that greets everyone who walks into our home. Frida receives SO many compliments both in real-life and online, and I often get questions about how to take care of these tips of plants. I hesitated to write this post because I used to be a notorious plant killer. Over the past handful of years, I’ve FINALLY found my groove, and while I feel pretty confident about my routine, I’m still scared to jinx anything. I can’t help but wonder if Frida will recoil her leaves and burst into flames once…

Katie Holmes Just Wore the Cardigan-and-Jeans Uniform I Can’t Wait to Copy

November 03, 2021 at 08:29AM Leave it to Katie Holmes—the actress that singlehandedly blew up the internet when she wore a cashmere-cardigan–and-bralette duo from Khaite with vintage denim back in 2019—to debut the finest knit-and-jeans combo of the year thus far. On Monday, Holmes was spotted in New York City wearing what can only be described as my ideal fall look: a white T-shirt, Western boots, a cashmere cardigan, and a pair of high-rise jeans that fit just right. Like so many of the Dawson’s Creek alum’s outfits, the look was casual and elevated at the same time, which, I can tell you from experience, is easier said than done. The real winners from Holmes’s outfit are her jeans (which are mid-wash and straight-legged) and her cardigan (a pink-and-gray knit by Kate Spade New York that is somehow still in stock). Called the Colorblock Cashmere Gallery Cardigan, the two-tone sweater costs $328 and comes in a…

The Over-50 Fashion Icons With the Freshest Style

November 03, 2021 at 08:00AM Personal style can be mastered at any age—there is no magic number or milestone birthday that can claim to be the pivotal point. Some lucky fashion lovers manage to find their signature look early on and hold onto it throughout their lives, adjusting and updating it ever so slightly to suit the changing times and trends. For others, understanding the outfits and clothes you feel most comfortable in can be a more arduous and experimental process.Whichever camp you reside in, there’s no denying that as you get older, your tastes and wardrobe needs change. For example, aged 33, I now realise that all of the cheaper, trend-ticking items I bought on the high street in my 20s haven’t stood up, so I’m endeavouring to buy less and buy better. My mum, who is in her 70s, is still…
