Instagram has undoubtedly evolved over the years, from its early days as a simple photo-sharing app to a mood board for just about any and every topic under the sun. Now, it seems that the multihyphenate platform took notes, marking a new era as one of the major social media sites to define the latest and biggest trends in fashion. After launching the first issue of its very own magazine, titled The Zine, in 2021, Instagram recently released its third issue, this time tapping into “It” girl, model, and skincare line founder Lori Harvey to be its first-ever official cover star. Lensed by Los Angeles-based photographer Coughs, the 25-year-old was captured in a number of fashion-forward ensembles, from oversized fuzzy hats and fishnets to head-to-toe bling...

Chlöe Bailey has mastered the art of creating a viral music video. Though she’s only on her second release as a solo artist, the music prodigy has been making her presence felt in the industry for decades as one-half of the beloved group Chlöe and Halle. Since branching out as a solo artist, Bailey has gotten the internet’s attention with the provocative clip for her hit, “Have Mercy.” After racking up more than 64 million views with her saucy lyrics and energetic dance moves, anticipation was high for Bailey’s second outing, “Treat Me.” An ode to female sensuality and power, it hammers home the themes of Bailey’s forthcoming debut album, and for the corresponding film, she wanted to spotlight...

First thing’s first: Let’s all wish a happy birthday to Paloma Elsesser. The supermodel celebrated her 30th birthday looking as chic and as glowing as ever at her epic bash in Jamaica. The Vogue cover star looked absolutely stunning, of course, and opted for a fire-engine red clingy off-the-shoulder dress. Another bonus? Her equally stunning group of gals joined her, too. Rosalía posed pretty for Instagram in an artfully shredded white top with slits on the sides and a black leather bag on her arm. (It nicely contrasted with red eyeliner swiped below her brows). Of course, she accessorized with her signature pout. But it wasn’t only the girls who were having fun this week: Jonah Hill, surrounded by some Los Angeles lush, perfected...

Over the past week, Kim Kardashian took us on a trip down memory lane. The social media star wore a look that was the spitting image of Carmen Electra’s Stephen Sprouse optical illusion dress from the 1998 MTV Movie Awards. The white T-shaped dress appeared to float on her body, but in reality, it was fastened at the back by an invisible plastic strap. Kardashian posed in an Instagram slide wearing the piece with the caption: “Love me for me, ok?” (Fun fact: Electra once told Vogue that the dress had gotten her on all the worst dressed lists at the time.) Speaking of Kardashian, her sister Kendall Jenner has been having a very chic time on Instagram. The model showed off a noughties-inspired look...

Gigi Hadid knows a thing or two about hotels. Having traversed the globe for work and pleasure, the supermodel is used to living out of a suitcase during fashion month or jetting off for some well-deserved relaxation post-season. Still, her wildest trip to date took her to a destination only accessible in fantasies. As H&M’s newest campaign star, Hadid serves as concierge at Hotel Hennes, a fictional resort dedicated to madcap adventures. Host to a who’s who of talent, she guides Jill Korteleve, Precious Lee, Devyn Garcia, and more through a surreal setting filled with campy humor and affordable fashion. The film, directed by Bardia Zeinali, focuses on the joy of travel, a subject Hadid found timely after the coronavirus pandemic’s years of...

New-age supers Hailey Bieber, Mona Tougaard, and Bella Hadid have all made baggy denim key to their off-duty wardrobes, but fellow model Kendall Jenner is all about a talking-point dress. She’s worn three body-hugging dresses in swift succession in recent days, her most recent being a butterfly-print midi dress, worn for a Kardashian-Jenner family dinner to celebrate the Kendall X Kylie Cosmetics line launch. Equal parts flattering and stylish, the dress echoed the butterfly-print separates from Jean Paul Gaultier’s iconic spring/summer 1994 collection that she wore during London Fashion Week in 2020. The accompanying accessories, a bright-green bag and Amina Muaddi’s perspex Lupita heels—a pair she’s worn repeatedly—gave her look a contemporary edge. The dress perfectly complemented her new red hair too, with its vibrant tones. Jenner tried a more...
