October 25, 2021 at 07:35PM Issa’s romantic life - not to mention her friendship with Molly - hangs in the balance as we head into the fifth and final season of Insecure, and after only the first episode we have SO many questions. The one thing we know for sure, the season is going to deliver big on style. With a first look at Issa, Molly, Kelli, and Tiffany’s outfits at their college reunion in episode one, we’re treated to a glimpse of the girls easy takes on denim, a sporty tracksuit and fresh plaid for Issa, and new Bottega for Molly. These covetable yet relatable looks are another testament to the expertise of costume designer Shiona Turini, who takes the helm of the show’s wardrobe again for the last season. You can expect more of the contemporary cool, high-low mix Shiona’s given…

October 25, 2021 at 06:55PM In a move that might make winter-coat shopping the most exciting thing you do all season, Telfar is releasing its first outerwear collection in collaboration with the luxury label Moose Knuckles. The two beloved NYC brands are partnering to deliver a 17-piece winter drop that serves as “an ode to New Yorkers.” Rife with furry-trimmed finishes and nylon quilted puffers that are designed to keep you cozy, this is an ode to any New Yorkers looking for a stylish way to combat the winter chill while looking, well, chill, or as the brands put in a press release, this is all about “New Yorkers’ penchant for getting noticed while minding their own business,” a classic NYC aesthetic.

The upcoming collection, to be debuted on November 9 at 6 a.m. PT/9 a.m. ET, will focus on fit and fabrication, including pieces across the shapewear, hosiery, beachwear, RTW, and accessory categories. The designer duo tapped famed photographer Steven Meisel to capture a sneak peek at the looks worn by models Precious Lee, Jessie Li, Tianna St. Louis, Grace Valentine, and of course, Kim herself. The news is even big enough to require its own website, if that’s not enough to convince you this is the collaboration of all collaborations.

October 25, 2021 at 05:46PM Tessa Thompson is a versatile dresser. The actress pulls off both billowing ballgowns and sharp suits with ease, and that duality was never more exemplified than in a new style post she captioned, “Bride + Groom.” Tessa has been exclusively dressing in black and white while on the press tour for Passing, which is shot in black and white, and two of her recent outfits had a matrimonial vibe. (If I were Tessa Thompson, I’d want to marry me, too.) For a Los Angeles screening on Oct. 23, Tessa wore white Giambattista Valli separates in a dotted tulle fabric with a gold neckline, giving the appearance of a chainlink neckline. Stylists Wayman Deon and Micah McDonald completed the look with a black choker and sky-high platform stilettos. The contrasting look, meanwhile, consisted of a black Alexandre Vauthier pinstripe…

October 25, 2021 at 05:30PM Megan Thee Stallion was hard to miss at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Texas on Oct. 24. At first glance, I have to admit I was a little confused as to what exactly the rapper was wearing - there are quite a few layers to her outfit - but upon further observation, she looks to be dressed in a full-body velvet catsuit with sheer mesh panels across the front, back, and sides, down to her feet. A matching sarong-like skirt was also affixed to the glittery bodysuit, which she paired with Bottega lace-up mesh pumps and shiny yellow diamonds by Elliot Eliantte. If you think the outfit is super-sexy from the front, the back may surprise you - the loosely-tied skirt reveals a peek of the high-cut thong. The Cash App partner also made sure to include…

October 25, 2021 at 05:09PM Angelina Jolie may be dropping jaws left and right, wearing beautiful gowns by Atelier Versace, Balmain, and Ralph Lauren on the Eternals red carpets, but her daughters are making sustainable fashion choices worth talking about on their own. After Jolie’s daughter Zahara re-wore her 2014 Elie Saab Oscars gown, she stepped out at the Rome Film Festival in a vintage number from LA shop Catwalk. But it was her sister Shiloh who proved that movie premiere dressing is truly up to someone’s personal interpretation (forgone are the days of dress codes) in leather-painted, yellow leopard SAWA shoes. Algerian-born, France-based SAWA shoe designer Mehdi Slimani, who creates his sneakers in Ethiopia, considers his socially conscious brand a fashion activist project which fights against the idea that Africa needs saving. Because all of the materials are sourced in Africa and…
