November 01, 2021 at 08:24PM We declare the winner of this year’s Halloween to be Canadian fashion designer Adrian Arnieri, who recreated the iconic look Dan Levy wore to the Met Gala this past September. On Sunday night, the founder and creative director of Arnieri took to Instagram to show off his custom ensemble, and the accuracy is nothing short of awe-inspiring. From afar, fans of the Loewe look will quickly acknowledge the true blue tones, glittery accents and voluminous map sleeves. However, the devil is in the details (a phrase befitting the spooky holiday), as Arnieri masterfully mimicked Levy’s dainty gold chain, exaggerated ribbon cuffs, embellished boots, and glitter purse.

November 01, 2021 at 06:45PM Halloween is sadly behind us, and what better way to mark the end of spooky season than a recap of the best celebrity costumes to grace our social feeds? Joe Jonas, Sophie Turner and Olivia De Jonge showed us what dreams are made of with a Lizzie McGuire Movie moment, dressing up as Paolo Valisari, Isabella Parigi and Lizzie McGuire, respectively. Over at New York’s Madison Square Garden, Harry Styles’ two night concert Harryween was in full swing, and we can thank the Watermelon Sugar singer for serving not one but two looks: Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz and what is likely the most chic clown costume we’ll ever see. We can’t forget the queen of Halloween: Heidi Klum, who came to slay with a short zombie flick on her IG in which the model meets “her untimely doom at…

November 01, 2021 at 03:44PM On any given night, you’ll find blearyeyed, pyjama-clad people tucking into bed — while fervently thumbing through their TikTok feeds. It’s where you can learn anything from a trending dance to how to make feta-cheese pasta. More notably, the viral-video app is also making its mark on our bank statements. The hashtag #TikTokMadeMeBuyIt has over five billion views globally and an endless scroll of videos showing off every possible purchase, from makeup primers to levitating lamps. It’s no wonder that beauty brands both big and small are tapping into the selling power of TikTok. When Maybelline New York launched its Sky High Mascara stateside in November 2020, it partnered with TikTokers, asking them to share their test drives. The tube sold out at American cosmetics retailer Ulta four times. When it launched in Canada two months later, it…

To take it to the next level, the store partnered with Lesley Hampton to create the reusable calendar in the Canadian designer’s signature palette, along with design elements that reflect her Anishinaabe indigeneity, such as the Ojibwe expression Mino Bimaadiziwin, which translates to ‘the good life.’ With the sale of each calendar, 10 per cent of net proceeds will go to Hudson’s Bay Foundation’s charitable partner Indspire, an Indigenous organization which Hampton is especially enthusiastic about supporting as one of the organization’s past award recipients. Ilia is finally bringing its mega-hit skin tint…

October 29, 2021 at 10:04PM The pandemic has been tough — I understand that this is not a hot take. Heightened anxieties, isolation and very real tragedies have made the last 18 months especially bleak. Turning away from all of that to instead appreciate and radiate beauty is a tremendously difficult feat, but it is exactly what Connie Fleming has accomplished with her latest project, an artwork exhibition titled Ink. Artwork by Connie FlemingWhile she is most well known for her work on the runway as a model in the ‘90s and early 2000s, Connie began drawing at a young age, “Being a trans kid was super hard, it was violent both verbally and physically. But drawing was something I was rewarded for and it gave me hope for the future,” she explained. The exhibition is featured at Never Apart’s art gallery in…

October 29, 2021 at 09:34PM Supermodel extraordinaire Gigi Hadid and her boy band boyfriend Zayn have split once again after a supposed Hadid-Malik family argument sure to send fan pages of the world spiralling. TMZ first broke the news of the argument on October 28. Unnamed sources told the tabloid that Zayn Malik had allegedly struck Hadid matriarch and former Real Housewives star Yolanda Hadid last week, and that the mom of symmetrically-faced trio Gigi, Bella and Anwar was thinking of filing a police report. Later that day, Zayn posted your standard-issue celeb notes app screenshot to Twitter, writing: “As you all know I am a private person and I very much want to create a safe and private space for my daughter to grow up in. A place where private family matters aren’t thrown on the world stage for all to poke…

October 29, 2021 at 02:00PM While most of us were watching Girls and gushing over Kate Middleton’s first baby, Angel Chen was mapping out her destiny. At only 17, she uprooted her life in Shenzhen, China, to study fashion at London’s prestigious Central Saint Martins College. Inspired by John Galliano’s emotive work that spans romance, history and modernity, Chen set out to make a visual impact on the world. After her graduate collection “Les Noces” won the praise of the school faculty, she went on to intern with big fashion names like Vera Wang and Marchesa, launch her own studio in Shanghai and, now, become the first-ever guest designer with Canada Goose. Smashing gender norms and infusing her work with inspiration from her Chinese culture, Chen is adamant that the Angel Chen woman isn’t gentle, shy, and elegant. She’s brave, cool, independent and…

October 29, 2021 at 07:12PM So, everyone is obsessed with Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian right now (we get it) — but can we just take a moment to appreciate the internet’s new favourite couple, Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum? The actors were spotted in NYC earlier this week sporting complementary cozy fits and confirming their relationship status with some loved-up PDA (hand holding, arm around the shoulder — you know, the works). View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Elder Ordonez (@elderordonez1) Kravitz, the queen of effortless style, opted for a cream turtleneck and on-trend wide-leg blue jeans paired with The Row’s wool ‘Belona Coat’ and coveted ‘Zipped Boot 1’ black leather ankle boots. Tatum’s casually cool cream hoodie, black chinos and simple white slip-on shoes were the perfect match for Kravitz’s minimal mood. It seems these two have…

October 29, 2021 at 02:00PM The pop stars and actors we idolize as kids have a huge influence on our grown-up sense of style. They model confidence and character, and show us that we have the power to create our own unique looks—no matter who we are or where we come from. We connected with three Canadian LGBTQ2S+ creatives to discuss how their style icons informed who they are (and how they wear their hair) today.

People would say that she was rude, but she was just outspoken. I always liked that. I would beg my mom to do my hair like her. Looking back, I feel like Scary Spice…
