September 07, 2021 at 10:30PM The “collaboration between cast and costume designer is where the magic happens,” costume designer Dana Covarrubias told POPSUGAR of her work, outfitting Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez in Hulu’s new murder-mystery comedy, Only Murders in the Building. “There’s always a moment in the fitting where you get to see how your costumes are helping to transform the actor into the character they’re becoming.” That’s the part we see play out onscreen as we watch Selena as Mabel Mora, Steve Martin as Charles Haden-Savage, Martin Short as Oliver Putnam, swathed in the looks carefully crafted by Dana - and rooted in the script. How she set about dressing Selena as Mabel was guided by the cues there, she told us, “My first influence is always the script. Mabel, Selena’s character, is scripted as a tough, no-nonsense single-woman…

September 07, 2021 at 10:05PM With Labor Day weekend officially in the rearview mirror, we’re all in for a rude awakening: that’s right, summer is over. And, while many people are saying goodbye to summer Fridays and beach vacays, I’m personally mourning my summer wardrobe. (Or, well, so I thought.) You see, I practically live in easy, breezy sundresses all summer long. When the temperature and humidity are at all-time highs, the last thing I want to do is pile on the accessories. So, my sundress stock offers a low-effort way to feel somewhat put-together. (All I need to do is slip on a dress, grab my favorite sandals and purse, and I’m good to go!) Don’t get me wrong, I love sweaters and boots as much as the next style-conscious consumer, but piecing together the perfect outfit can be…a lot. Fortunately, A…

September 07, 2021 at 09:02PM More Black models walked the Fashion Week runways in 2020 than ever before, and hopefully the numbers will go up even more this year - specifically this spring 2022 season. Black models are making strides that in years past would have never seemed possible: opening and closing some of the biggest shows, appearing in groundbreaking campaigns, and splashing the covers of some of the biggest magazines. These models are showing what the power of a little melanin and a lot of strength can do for the fashion industry. There is still a long way to go for inclusion on the runway. It’s not often you see someone who is differently abled, trans, or of any “>size that would qualify as "curve” walking the catwalk. But tides are shifting in the world of fashion, and it’s cause for celebration.…

September 07, 2021 at 08:53PM In a move that has my sunscreen trembling, Tinashe took a cue from the sun and lit up the stage at the Made in America music festival in Philadelphia on Sunday. Over the weekend, the “Bouncin’” singer rocked a sunshine-yellow L.O.C.A. leotard bedazzled in shimmering rhinestones, along with a pair of Nike Air Max 90s and a layer of glittery silver eyeshadow. “Lil booty on the loose 💛,” she captioned an Instagram post on Sept. 6, showing off the gorgeous outfit. Covered in more cutouts than a slice of swiss cheese, the leotard - complete with rhinestone-embellished fringe - leaves little to the imagination. Like beams of sunlight, the thin strips of golden fabric and sparkling jewels created a delicate criss-cross pattern across her torso that kept us entranced during her entire performance. Oh, and did we mention…

September 07, 2021 at 07:41PM The cultural definition of beauty has slowly started to evolve, and better late than never. The fact that Ashley Graham is now universally recognized as a household name speaks to such progress. And if you don’t know who that is by now, well, you should fix that as soon as humanly possible. We’re living in a time when people are (finally) holding brands and publications accountable and challenging what have long been considered the “classic” American standards of beauty, and I for one absolutely love to see it. There is, of course, infinite amounts of more work to be done. However, it’s reason enough for us to celebrate what we are seeing: more diversity and inclusion in the modeling industry than ever before. In order to keep pushing the needle forward, we must all collectively move away from…

September 07, 2021 at 04:49PM Image Source: Getty / Fiona Goodall Naomi Biden is getting married! On Sunday, the president’s granddaughter and 27-year-old Columbia law graduate announced her engagement to longtime boyfriend Peter Neal. “Forever 🤍,” she captioned a sweet Instagram photo of the couple, sharing a clear view of her sparkling ring. It’s no surprise Naomi - who you might remember wore quite the chic white ensemble on Inauguration Day - has elegant taste. Her timeless ring features a classic emerald-cut diamond set in yellow gold estimated to weigh about 2.5 carats. WP Diamonds CEO and diamond expert Andrew Brown predicts the high color and clarity combination retails for approximately $30,000. Take a closer look at the striking ring ahead.

September 07, 2021 at 04:09PM 2021 brings a new sort of Met Gala, which has never been live streamed. While Vogue has always uploaded red carpet interviews to the magazine’s YouTube channel the following day, never before have we been able to tune into the event in real time. But thanks to actor and artist Keke Palmer and Broad City’s Ilana Glazer, we have two energetic hosts bringing us straight to the scene at the famous steps on Monday, Sept. 13. The live stream begins at 5:30 p.m. ET, which you can watch at vogue.com to see how celebrities and cochairs Timothée Chalamet, Billie Eilish, Amanda Gorman, and Naomi Osaka interpret the “American Independence” dress code. Once inside, guests will be expected to wear masks, except for when drinking or enjoying their all-vegan dinner, and everyone is required to show proof of vaccination.…

September 07, 2021 at 04:03PM Zendaya has entered a new, glamorous era of her red carpet style. Starting her series of iconic looks at Venice Film Festival in a leather Balmain wet-look dress, the star took our breath away yet again in a decadent aubergine coordinated set from Alaïa’s winter/spring 2022 collection for the premiere of Dune. According to Alaïa, “She is wearing a bolero and mermaid perforated knitted skirt in aubergine from Pieter Mulier’s first collection for the house.” And what an incredible start to Mulier’s first collection for the legendary house, of which we believe that founding designer Azzedine Alaïa would be proud. Zendaya’s trailblazing stylist, Image Architect Law Roach, also commented on his client and dear friend’s spectacular look, sharing with fans that Zendaya is now “a grown woman.” Zendaya completed her look with Jimmy Choo pumps, and jewelry by…

September 07, 2021 at 03:30PM Although Harry Styles’s original Love on Tour dates included US shows in 2020, the singer rescheduled his performances due to the pandemic. What wasn’t rescheduled? The inevitable collaboration with Gucci’s Alessandro Michele on Harry’s costumes. Styles has been a longtime friend and muse to the designer for years, so it’s no surprise that his team customized a few incredible outfits. The first comes with a metallic, fringe vest in a jewel-tone pink, which is finished in a satin, magenta interior to match the flared trousers. Harry channeled the late ‘70s in these co-ords, accessorizing the look with a fistful of chunky rings and nude, patent heeled boots, which were also courtesy of the Milan-based fashion house. “Excited to show what we were going to do in 2020 and some additional fun new looks❤️❤️❤️,” stylist Harry Lambert wrote on…
