Scenes from Art Basel Miami, a Playground of Big Sculptures and Bigger Parties (VOGUE)

frg
People came ready to party at Art Basel Miami. Where else can you spend your days looking at giant art installations and lounging on the beach, and your nights flitting through fêtes hosted by the likes of Chanel, Gucci, Alicia Keys, and Playboy? The first in-person Art Basel Miami since 2019 didn’t lack star power, and photographer Lili Kobielski captured the scene for Vogue. “Overall there seemed to be a pent up demand for fun! The fair and the parties were more packed than I’ve ever seen in my four years covering Art Basel,” she says. Kobielski captured art fans in their natural habitat. Some posed in bikinis with sculptures on the beach; another partygoer wore a large nameplate necklace that simply read “art”...

What to Expect From Rihanna’s Latest Savage x Fenty 2021 Show (W Magazine)

ii
If you haven’t gotten started on taking Rihanna’s advice to plan a watch party for Thursday’s premiere of Savage x Fenty Show: Vol. 3, well, now’s about time. The 33-year-old icon has been teasing the video documenting her latest lingerie extravaganza for weeks now—most recently in the form a confidently sultry photo captioned “my mood after handing in the final cut.” That all may sound too good to be true, but Rihanna has never been one to lie. Take it from the Navy: It’s all that’s gotten them through the agonizing years they’ve spent waiting for her to drop what she’s promised is “next-level” music without ever specifying a release date. As usual, the show is set to take the multi-faceted form of a part-concert, part-runway...

THE BEST HAIR STYLES FROM THE MET GALA 2021 (V Magazine)

The Met Gala, once again, catches everyone’s attention this year and made a triumphant return, partly thanks to sparky beauty trends. The celebrities' hairstyles  seduced as much as they questioned as the guests incorporated original elegant hairdressing to their garments.

THE 2021 MTV VMAS WAS A HUGE NIGHT FOR EARLY-2000S VINTAGE FASHION (NYLON)

p
The 2021 MTV Music Video Awards, hosted by Doja Cat, celebrated the network’s 40th anniversary, but its guests arrived honoring the fashion that came decades before them. The red carpet was full of early-aughts looks — and in some cases, actual archival pieces from that era — that left us wondering if this year’s ticket came with a nostalgia-heavy dress code. If so, everyone understood the assignment, but some viewers were less than impressed by the familiar looks. From Madison Beer’s Beyoncé tribute to Lil Nas X’s Lil’ Kim-inspired suit, take a look at the 2021 MTV VMAs red carpet looks that were a blast from the Y2K past: . MADISON BEER Madison Beer arrived in a vintage Dolce & Gabbana dress that Beyoncé wore on back in...

The Coolest Met Gala Red Carpet Accessories Came From Emerging Brands (VOGUE)

ii
In the year 2021, what was once considered subversions of a dress code are now ubiquitous red-carpet accessories—baseball caps, comfy casual sandals, cushy sneakers. Consider last night’s Met gala cohost Timothée Chalamet, who accompanied his Haider Ackermann getup with a pair of Chuck Taylors. All these alt-black-tie accessories now feel right at home on the red carpet alongside standbys like ankle-strap stiletto sandals, ultrafine jewels, and classic box clutches. But this year’s Met gala, celebrating the exhibition “In America: A Lexicon of Fashion,” saw plenty of unexpected accessories that pushed the envelope even further. See Kim Kardashian looking semi-anonymous in a Balenciaga haute couture ensemble. However, some of the coolest statements came on a less obvious and smaller scale—most notably on attendees like Maisie Williams and...

yy
At last, in-person fashion shows are back with street style stars, editors, and influencers taking over the sidewalks of New York City. And just a couple of days in, this season has brought out quite a few celebrities to the front rows. Fashionwise, there’s one thing they all seem to agree on: matching set outfits. Katie Holmes showed up to Christian Siriano’s show in a glittery blazer and coordinating flared trousers. Ciara whipped out a fall-ready leather skirt and matching corset for the Dundas x Revolve presentation. And while we haven’t seen Selena Gomez officially attend any shows this season, she’s still showing off her best street style looks in New York City.

Zendaya’s BET Awards Look Was a Pitch-Perfect Tribute to Beyoncé (VOGUE)

vog628
Photo: AB+DM From Lil Nas X’s pharaoh couture to Cardi B’s epic pregnancy announcement, last night’s BET Awards in Los Angeles was packed with showstopping style moments. Leave it to Zendaya, however, to take the night’s fashion to the next level—with a little help from an archive Versace dress. A look from the Italian house’s spring 2003 collection, Zendaya’s ethereal purple gown caught attention for more reasons than one. Seem familiar at all? That would be down to the fact the same dress—albeit with a shorter skirt—was also worn by Beyoncé for the 3rd Annual BET Awards all the way back in 2003, when the burgeoning solo star made one of her first post-Destiny’s Child appearances to perform her breakout hit, “Crazy in Love.” Beyoncé performs “Crazy in Love” at the...

The CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards Grants to 10 Independent Designers (VOGUE)

Designers
If there is one thing that fashion has learned over this pandemic year, it’s that business as usual doesn’t work in times of extreme struggle. With that in mind, the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund has rethought its structure; instead of presenting one top prize and two awards to runners-up as it has in the past, the fund is offering grants to 10 American brands. The designers receiving the grants and a year of mentorship from industry leaders are: Batsheva Hay of Batsheva; Mike Eckhaus and Zoe Latta of Eckhaus Latta; Anifa Mvuemba of Hanifa; Rebecca Henry and Akua Shabaka of House of Aama; Kenneth Nicholson; Jameel Mohammed of Khiry; LaQuan Smith; Abrima Erwiah of Studio 189; Edvin Thompson of Theophilio; and Willy Chavarria. “After an...
