August 27, 2021 at 03:35AM Have you ever wanted to dress like Ciara? Well, you can get one step closer now that the singer is launching her own luxury fashion brand. On August 26, Ciara announced the debut of LITA (aka “Love Is the Answer”), a clothing collection inspired by her own stylish background. “I’ve always had an incredible love for fashion,” Ciara shared on Instagram. “It’s one of the ways I feel I can best express myself!” The brand will be an extension of Ciara and Russell Wilson’s fashion house, The House of LR&C. Ciara’s connection with fashion started when she was a kid, “from a childhood obsession with my grandmother’s closet in which every item was perfectly tailored to playing dress up in my Mom’s clothes, and sometimes even my Dad’s.” Flash forward a few decades and she has curated clothing…

August 27, 2021 at 01:51AM Shortly after covering Vogue alongside her industry peers, Madonna’s daughter Lourdes Leon is revealed as the new face of Swarovski. Lola made waves early in 2021 when she brought her signature flair to a Marc Jacobs campaign, and she’s also modeled for a collaboration between Juicy Couture and Parade, Gypsy Sport, and Stella McCartney.

Rosalía Took a Page From Cher Horowitz’s Sweater-Vest Handbook to Style This White Button-Up

August 26, 2021 at 11:55PM If Clueless taught us anything, it’s that plaid is timeless and button-down shirts - dressed up or down - are wardrobe must haves. Taking a page out of Cher Horowitz’s style handbook, Rosalía added a splash of color to her latest all-white button-down look and singlehandedly convinced us that cherry red is our new favorite fall color. In an Instagram post on Aug. 26, Rosalía wore a chic red Kollyy Geometric V-Neck Acrylic Vest ($24) layered over an oversize white button-down shirt and matching Eytys shorts. Keeping with the color scheme, she paired the look with Naked Wolfe Mayhem White Patent Boots and a Simone Rocha x H&M red hair ribbon so extravagant, we can feel Blossom from the Powerpuff Girls zooming to the mall to snag one for herself. Posing in the street on a windy afternoon,…

I Can’t Go to Europe Right Now, but at Least These $35 Pants Make It Look Like I Went

August 26, 2021 at 10:30PM Picture this: You’re strolling down a cobblestone street in Florence, Italy (but since you’re a local, you call it Firenze, of course), and as you’re lost in a daydream about drinking Chianti wine next to the Ponte Vecchio at sunset, you snap out of your daze when someone asks you where your pants are from. During your daze, you had forgotten which pants you were wearing because they’re so lightweight, and when you look down, you notice they’re your everyday staple pants - the Mid-Rise StretchTech Jogger Pants ($35) from Old Navy. You tell the inquirer this information, and they’re stunned. “Old Navy?” they say. “Sì!” you reply back. Now, back to reality. And the reality is, I’m sitting in my New York apartment, not walking down the cobblestone streets of Italy. Regardless of where I might be,…

All We See Are Abs as Lori Harvey Walks Around Town in a Bra Top and Low-Rise Jeans

August 26, 2021 at 06:22PM Help, we just can’t seem to escape low-rise jeans! While I still refuse to accept that this trend I thought we left behind 20 years ago is all that flattering (at least on me), when it comes to Lori Harvey, there’s an exception to the rule. Lori was recently spotted out and about in Beverly Hills looking like the chic, off-duty model she is, in a relaxed yet somehow very extra outfit. Wearing a scoop-neck bra and baggy Vetements x Levi’s jeans with the logo plastered across the front, Lori topped off her ensemble with a terrycloth Bottega Veneta clutch and matching slides. Plus, she added a pair of cat-eye sunglasses from Celine and silver jewelry for good measure. If we had to guess, Lori’s casual designer outfit totals an estimated $5,000 - the purse itself is almost…

Halsey at Her Film Premiere Is How Teen Me Thought I Looked After Leaving Hot Topic

August 26, 2021 at 05:48PM Halsey brought the drama to their film premiere. The singer recently wore a striking all-black outfit to a Los Angeles screening of the hourlong film that accompanies her fourth studio album, If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power. Much like their film and album cover, Halsey’s look appeared to take inspiration from gothic art and religious iconography. The outfit is also yet another gem from the archives of Image Architect Law Roach, who pointed out the veiled Dolce & Gabbana dress had been plucked from the brand’s spring 1998 runway collection. Halsey completed the mesh minidress with sheer thigh-high tights, black Christian Louboutin pumps, and Loree Rodkin jewelry, including an imposing cross necklace. Halsey’s boyfriend Alev Aydin was also in attendance, wearing a black checkered suit. See photos of Halsey’s theatrical red-carpet appearance ahead. Related: Halsey Wears…

You Won’t Check Your Phone When Drag Superstar Symone Walks in Wearing This Iridescent Dress

August 26, 2021 at 05:17PM America’s Drag Superstar Symone, who won RuPaul’s Drag Race season 13, visited guest host RuPaul on Jimmy Kimmel Live to talk about building her empire. As soon as she walked in wearing this Paco Rabanne minidress, constructed from glossy, iridescent stars connected solely by metal rings, we could look absolutely nowhere else. The incredible number comes from a fashion house known for its chainmail designs, and Symone did this one justice with styling help from Marko Monroe, who completed the look with Sophia Webster platforms and Shay Jewelry (make sure you catch those drop earrings!). When RuPaul asked Symone how she’s going to continue to rep The House of Avalon as The Ebony Enchantress, she immediately responded, “Well, one, I’m going to keep looking like this,” confirming she was just as into this fashion moment as we were.…

Princess Diana Wore a Dress Strikingly Similar to the One on the Spencer Movie Poster

August 26, 2021 at 04:07PM While Spencer costume designer Jacqueline Durran has not admitted to taking direct influence from Princess Diana’s looks for Kristen Stewart’s costumes, the new movie poster has us dissecting every detail. Neon distributed the above teaser of Pablo Larraín’s Spencer on Aug. 25 ahead of its Nov. 5 release date, and it’s an image of Kristen as Diana, slouched over her strapless gown that’s stitched with regal gold embroidery. It looks a lot like the Emanuel-designed number Diana wore to the 1987 James Bond premiere for The Living Daylights. Also similar? The choice in accessories. Diana famously wore a single strand of pearls to the event, and it appears as though Kristen’s got the same type of necklace on. Of course, this creation was dreamed up by Jacqueline and her wardrobe team, and we don’t know exactly what their…
