I Changed My Opinion on Activewear Dresses Thanks to This Old Navy StyleJune 27, 2023 at 09:50PMWhen the trend of activewear dresses began to gain momentum in the fashion and fitness spheres, I made a personal vow to abstain from participating. It wasn’t that I disliked how they looked on people, but I had a preconceived notion that wearing one would make me look like a lost tennis player. But after months of rolling my eyes at the different brands releasing their own iterations of the dress craze, I came across the Old Navy PowerSoft Sleeveless Shelf-Bra Support Dress ($60; plus an extra 20 percent off in cart), and something changed. Unlike many of the ultra preppy and feminine styles on the market, characterized by flouncy skirts and pastel hues, this dress evoked a minimalist aesthetic that I loved. I thought, “what the…

16 Outfits From “And Just Like That” That I Can’t Stop Thinking AboutJune 27, 2023 at 09:45PMYou can’t tell the story of “Sex and the City” and its revival/sequel “And Just Like That” without spending an inordinate amount of time discussing the fashion. Over the course of the original show’s six seasons, Carrie Bradshaw became a universal style icon. She inspired generations of women to waltz around New York City in tulle dresses, all while carefully dodging potholes in their Manolo Blahnik pumps. Styled by the inimitable Patricia Field, Bradshaw (played by Sarah Jessica Parker) delighted in getting dressed. Her style was immaculate, quirky, vibrant, romantic: she’d stop by McDonald’s in a pink Oscar de la Renta frock, or go wedding-dress shopping with a belt tied around her bare stomach. Throughout the series, as well as in the three “Sex and the City”…

Kate Middleton Rewears a Chic Polka-Dot Dress One Year LaterJune 27, 2023 at 09:00PMThe fashion industry’s seemingly endless supply of new clothes is actually quite harmful. According to McKinsey, almost 97% of clothing eventually ends up in a landfill, and 60% of clothing does so within 12 months of being manufactured. That’s why it’s more important than ever that we reframe the conversation around rewearing your outfit. For decades, it was considered a fashion faux paux for even the average style enthusiast, who wouldn’t dare repeat a look twice in the social media age. For celebrities, it was an even rarer occurrence; with the help of stylists and designers at their beck and call, there was simply no need for outfit repeats. But given fashion’s tremendous waste problem, we’re finally seeing a shift. Sustainability has taken a front seat in recent years, proving…

Pink Wows in a High-Cut Swimsuit With a Totally Open BackJune 27, 2023 at 08:15PMSwimwear trends are more exciting than ever this year, with thongkinis and see-through suits dominating our social media feeds. But one particular look from the ‘80s is making a resurgence across every style, from bikinis to maillots. And that’s the high-cut swimsuit trend. The hip-baring silhouette can be traced back to the '80s, when it first got its moment in the sun on “Baywatch” (and to commemorate, Pamela Anderson released an inspired Frankies Bikinis collaboration). Today, the biggest ambassador for the style is Miley Cyrus, who promoted her eighth album, “Endless Summer Vacation,” in a series of high-cut swimsuits, picked in collaboration with her stylist Bradley Kenneth.While some celebrities - Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner, to name a few - prefer a high-cut bikini, others are more keen on…

Kendall Jenner Taps Into Quiet Luxury in a Plunging Sequined DressJune 27, 2023 at 07:23PMWhile the definition of quiet luxury is derived from an aesthetic that’s seemingly been around for ages - minimalist, understated clothing made from high quality materials - the term has exploded over the past year by 614 percent, according to boohoo.com’s Google Trends data analysis. That’s largely thanks to the celebrities who are tapping into the look, whereas they might have previously turned to maximalism. Someone like Kylie Jenner, for example, maintained a wardrobe that boasted flashy designer logos, even passing many of her most notable items onto daughter Stormi, who is a mini fashion icon in her own right. But lately, Jenner, who works with stylists Mackenzie and Alexandra Rose Grandquist, has taken a turn toward clean, streamlined neutrals, exhibiting her take on quiet luxury during a trip…

Shop the Gold Cutout Dress Behind the Miley Cyrus and Jennifer Lawrence ControversyJune 27, 2023 at 05:12PMMiley Cyrus’s gold Saint Laurent dress in the “Flowers” music video is being compared to Jennifer Lawrence’s Prabal Gurung number from “The Hunger Games” LA premiere in 2012. After viral TikTok videos circulated comparing the two looks (in which fans surmise Cyrus wore the outfit to suggest ex-husband Liam Hemsworth cheated on her with Lawrence), the “No Hard Feelings” star addressed the infidelity rumor on “Watch What Happens Live” with Andy Cohen.While Cyrus dropped plenty of Easter eggs in “Flowers,” some people feel the dress connection is a bit far-fetched. When she broke down her life in looks for British Vogue, to coincide with her June 2023 cover story for the magazine, Cyrus described the vintage YSL design from 1991 as “museum quality archival,” noting that similar…
