There will be no shortage of time puns heralding today’s preview of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute’s new exhibition “About Time: Fashion and Duration”. So here’s one more: It’s about time this exhibit opened. Postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic from its original May 4 date, “About Time” will finally swing open its doors to the public on October 29, nearly half a year later. As such, it has had one of the longest gestation periods of any Costume Institute exhibition—ironic for a show whose very subject is time and timeliness. That irony is not lost on Andrew Bolton, the museum’s Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of the Costume Institute: nor is the paradox of opening a fashion exhibition about time in...

Rihanna on Working From Home, Dressing for Zoom, and Savage x Fenty’s Epic New Show (VOGUE)

In case you were wondering, Rihanna has been doing just fine during lockdown. At times it feels like the beauty mogul, fashion designer, multiplatinum musician, and occasional actress has done everything a person can do, but 2020 allowed her to tackle a new challenge: relaxation. “What I’ve appreciated most is having a still spirit,” she shared over Zoom from Los Angeles. On set into the wee hours doing promos, Rihanna still manages to look Fenty fresh in a black belted leather jacket and lacy bra top. The vibe is glam-goth and arguably the chicest thing to ever grace Zoom. Though she’s clearly mastered above-the-waist dressing, she’d rather discuss the advantages this year’s reset has provided: “Just quieting my spirit and listening to what God and the...

With a career spanning over two decades, June Ambrose has long been the go-to stylist celebrities call. Missy Elliott's black "Michelin Man" suit? June Ambrose. Jay-Z's fashion evolution from hip-hop superstar to mogul? June Ambrose. Now the fashion veteran is taking her talents to Puma as its new creative director. It was announced today, October 5, that Ambrose will be designing for Puma's women's and girl's lines.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CF6AVYLHODD/ Justin and Hailey Bieber are the masters of couple style. The husband-wife duo rarely step out together without perfectly-coordinated outfits. Their fashion is always in sync, whether they’re on a red carpet or on the streets, usually thanks to a heavy rotation of designer streetwear pieces. For example, just last month they did his-and-hers high-fashion hoodies. This weekend, the pair channeled their doubled-up fashion energy for a date night outing. Posting a series of “Date night” photos to Instagram, Justin shared his and Hailey’s latest fits. If you were expecting classic going-out pieces (in the style of J-Rod) though, then you’d be mistaken. Their date night attire was just as cool and streetwear-minded as their off-duty style. Justin wore a leather Balenciaga moto jacket...

At Versace, Wet Hair and Red Lips Offer a Cool Twist on Mermaid Beauty (VOGUE)

Tonight in Milan, Versace brought a fantasy underwater dreamspace to life for its spring 2021 show. Described as a "utopian settlement on the seabed ruled by Medusa," there was aquatic blue lighting, sculptural sand relics, and a parade of bright, print-splashed, and crystal starfish-encrusted clothes. Speaking to the season's underwater theme—quite literally—was the sea of soaked strands. From Joan Smalls' raven lengths to Mica Arganaraz's shaggy brown curls, many of the models had their hair intricately shellacked along the forehead and down either side of the neck; sometimes with a set of barrettes and ends tucked underneath a chunky necklace to luxe, layered effect.   Furthering designer Donatella Versace's guiding "principles of empowerment, strength and beauty," were the neon-bright fuchsia lips worn by a few of the models including Precious...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=7&v=3CxtK7-XtE0&feature=emb_title Both Justin and Hailey Bieber make appearances in the music video for Drake and DJ Khaled's newest song, "Popstar." In the visuals, Justin stands in for Drake, living the rapper's extravagant lifestyle. Hailey and the couple's puppy, Oscar, make cameos toward the video's end. Justin Bieber is channeling his inner Drake for "Popstar," the newest collab between the Toronto rapper and mega producer DJ Khaled. The satirical short film starts out with the song's creator, DJ Khaled, begging Drake to film a music video for their latest single. Drake, playing a hyperbolic version of himself, claims to be too busy to participate, leading him to call in a favor from his very famous friend Justin Bieber. Throughout the remainder of the visuals, Justin becomes Drake, donning fur coats,...

How does one launch a makeup line in 2020—a year mired in mistakes, change, chaos, rule-breaking, and shape-shifting? If you're Swedish fragrance brand Byredo—you embrace it all. Founder & Creative Director Ben Gorham and innovative makeup artist Isamaya Ffrench imbued that spirit into the brand's first foray into cosmetics. It's a six-product launch that tosses out convention and re-conceptualizes cosmetics. BOHMAN+SJÖSTRAND/BYREDO Come October, and the products can live on your beauty shelf. But the idea for a Byredo makeup launch has been living in the minds of Gorham and Ffrench rent-free for about two years; they tell ELLE via Zoom. "We shared this outsider's perspective," Gorham says of enlisting Ffrench for the project. "Her creations were about pure expression—not referring to the norms...

It Was Only a Matter of Time Before PPE Went Luxe (VOGUE)

Face masks have dramatically evolved throughout the pandemic. They began as a necessary, utilitarian item. But as they became part of our everyday lives, fashion brands also began reimagining how a face covering can look. Though they’re still essential and utilitarian at their core (at the most essential level, a mask should always safely and comfortably cover one’s mouth and nose), they’ve now become a form of accessory. You can now find a mask in virtually any sort of style, from tie-dyed to covered in sequins. With that in mind, it was only a matter of time before this fashion sentiment evolved to other forms of PPE, too. Case and point: Louis Vuitton announced this week that it will be releasing its own high-fashion...
