September 15, 2021 at 12:00PM Did we have any doubt that Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s day-to-day is filled with private jets, chauffeured cars and lots of bling? Which is why their intimate new campaign film for Tiffany & Co. could probably double as a documentary. In the Beyoncé Jay-Z Tiffany film, Queen B sings “Moon River,” the song made popular by the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany’s, while winging towards Jay-Z on a private jet.  Not quite the “two drifters” that Audrey Hepburn sang about in the film while sitting on a window ledge looking out onto a fire escape in the film. Just before the film closes, Beyoncé pulls up in a chauffeured car to reunite with her hubby at Orum House, an architectural masterpiece overlooking Bel Air. Another clip has Beyoncé tinkling on a grand piano, while the 128.54-carat Tiffany Diamond dangles…

September 14, 2021 at 07:18PM It’s the Tuesday after the second Monday in September, and unsurprisingly all anyone can talk about is Kim Kardashian, and Rihanna on the 2021 MET Gala red carpet. After a COVID-induced hiatus, fashion’s most prominent event celebrated its glorious return with stylish stars serving looks inspired by “American Independence,” the theme of this year’s exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute. Arguably the most anticipated arrivals of the night — which is saying something considering the A-list attendees — Kim Kardashian and Rihanna donned similar all-black ensembles, both by creative director Demna Gvasalia for the French house, Balenciaga.

September 14, 2021 at 06:00PM It is a truth universally accepted that bras and underwear are the worst. In a journey akin to searching for the Holy Grail, the hunt to find those magical and perfect undergarments can feel like an endless series of challenges. Whether shoppers are looking for lift, coverage, size, colour, fabric, style or anything (and everything) in between, what unites most bra wearers is the struggle for comfort. For women with Crohn’s disease and colitis, this pursuit can feel especially exhausting. Toronto-based brand Hidden Lingerie is trying to change that. Featuring an array of bralettes and undies in muted tones, founder Natalie Jones created her company with the hope of “changing the way women who have Crohn’s and colitis feel about their bodies.” Jones has from Crohn’s disease herself and describes how hard it is for women who like…

September 14, 2021 at 02:00PM Museum curator Colleen Hill loves ’90s fashion so much that she wrote a book about Tom Ford, John Galliano and other stars of the period. What are your earliest fashion memories? “I recall that the preschool I attended in Lansing, Michigan, where I grew up, had a dress-up room with beautiful stained glass windows, and it was full of jewel-toned chiffon scarves I was really interested in. Another standout moment was seeing the cover of an ABBA album — I loved their platform boots. (I still do!) And something that influenced both my style and my career was a book called Radical Rags: Fashions of the Sixties by Joel Lobenthal. I found it at the local library when I was about 10 years old. The cover has a great photograph of Lauren Hutton wearing a clear vinyl Betsey…

September 14, 2021 at 01:39AM After a year hiatus, the fashion world’s “Oscars” have finally arrived, and boy were they worth the wait. From Lil Nas X’s transformation into a golden suit of armour to Billie Eilish’s nostalgic ode to Holiday Barbie, Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour got exactly what she wished for on the Met Gala 2021 red carpet. “I’m so grateful for the effort people make and how much fun they seem to have and how fearless they are on the Met Gala carpet,” Wintour declared on the Vogue.com livestream. “It’s a beacon call for individuality.” This year’s evening, co-chaired by Amanda Gorman, Timothée Chalamet, Billie Eilish and Naomi Osaka, celebrates the Costume Institute’s latest exhibition, “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.” The patriotic theme came through in both subtle and not-so-subtle ways. On the far end of the spectrum, Gorman worked…

September 13, 2021 at 09:38PM After last year’s break from in-person events, the Toronto International Film Festival is finally back to its (almost) usual programming, which includes welcoming worldwide celebrities to the TIFF 2021 red carpet. From acclaimed directors Denis Villeneuve and Edgar Wright to Hollywood powerhouses Jessica Chastain, Julianne Moore and Benedict Cumberbatch, the stars all brought their A-game. Some of the other highlights included singing legend Dionne Warwick, Broadway superstar Ben Platt and FASHION‘s October cover star, Rebecca Ferguson, who stunned in a Cong Tri gown at the much-awaited Dune premiere. Amandla Stenberg also sparkled in Gucci at the festival’s opening night and the world premiere of Dear Evan Hansen. Want to see more? Flip through the gallery of our favourite looks from TIFF 2021.

September 13, 2021 at 06:23PM Feathers, sequins, leather, velvet, tartan, lamé, tulle, pastels, capes, you name it — everything was on display on the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards, the VMAs, red carpet on Sunday night. Fresh off the premiere of Amazon Prime’s Cinderella, Camila Cabello dressed the part in a red and pink Alexis Mabille gown. Kacey Musgraves made her best avant-garde Muppet impression in Valentino couture. Even Avril Lavigne had a surprise appearance in a pink plaid look straight from the early 2000s. While the women undoubtedly dressed to impress, it was the men, however, who sent shockwaves across the 2021 VMAs red carpet. Shawn Mendes was white-hot in a slouchy suit from Mans Concept Menswear. Machine Gun Kelly dazzled in a sequinned outfit by Dolce & Gabbana. Billy Porter looked like the most fashionable astronaut alive in an all-silver look.…

September 11, 2021 at 02:20PM Willow Smith shines as the Mugler Alien Goddess View this post on Instagram   A post shared by MUGLER (@muglerofficial) “Alien Goddess is really about celebrating our differences, and Willow [Smith] embodies that in so many ways,” says Casey Cadwallader, the creative director of Mugler. The 20-year-old musician is the face of this latest iteration of the iconic Alien fragrance. A modern take on the traditional floral fragrance, the scent features bergamot and jasmine wrapped up in warm, woody notes of bourbon vanilla and cashmere. Like the fragrance, Smith also marches to the beat of her own drum. “She’s so in charge of everything to do with her look and her sound, what she is thinking and her philanthropy,” Cadwallader explains. “She’s not afraid to be bold, not afraid of change from one year to the next, from…

September 09, 2021 at 11:25PM Kylie Jenner’s unborn baby is already cooler than me. After surprising fans on September 7 with an announcement that she is expecting her second child with boyfriend Travis Scott, Jenner debuted her baby bump in the chicest way possible: at New York Fashion Week. Being introduced to the world at one of the most coveted fashion events ever sets the precedent that Jenner’s new baby will have some serious style. The star stepped out in an all-white look, featuring a super-short leather dress and a long, gleaming leather trench coat. Both pieces are from the brand Vintage Marcela, which Jenner has worn before. She completed the outfit with sleek clear Gianvito Rossi heels, chunky futuristic sunglasses and a tiny Balenciaga bag.
