At the Olympics, Pink Masks Divided the Men’s Fencing Team (VOGUE)

VG82
When the four U.S. men’s fencing team members arrived in Tokyo on Friday for the Olympics, the casual observer may have believed that Jake Hoyle, Curtis McDowald, Yeisser Ramirez, and Alan Hadzic were united and ready for their opening match against Japan (which they later lost). Their uniforms, however, told a different story: During the introductions, three of the fencers wore light pink masks, while one wore black. And their lack of uniformity comes with a powerful explanation as to why. Hoyle, McDowald, and Ramirez all showed up to the Olympics on Friday in pink masks as a planned protest against Hadzic, who is currently accused of and under investigation for sexual assault. The trio reportedly wore pink as a statement to...

Rihanna Has a Message for the Real Housewives (VOGUE)

PPII
Anyone who has watched an entry in Bravo’s Real Housewives franchise knows that it thrives on drama. After 16 years of table flips, betrayals, and backstabbing, we’re all familiar with the formula, but the final word on the latest altercation came from an unexpected source Rihanna Tensions were high on last night’s episode of Real Housewives of New York, where series veteran Ramona Singer inadvertently insulted newcomer Leah McSweeney, the designer of streetwear brand Married to the Mob. While out to celebrate Singer’s birthday, McSweeney voiced concerns about the upcoming charity single by fellow housewife Luann de Lesseps. This didn’t go over well and led to a spat wherein Singer offered to plug McSweeney’s line. The comment came across as a dig towards McSweeney’s clothing line and...

Over-the-Top Fashion Lady Gaga Makes a Quick Comeback (W Magazine)

mii
Lady Gaga is back, folks. Unlike sexiness, which Justin Timberlake unconvincingly tried to bring back even though it never left, weird fashion Gaga as we know and love her is back on the streets. That is, the kind of Lady Gaga that wears nine-inch Pleaser fetish heels to run errands and an actual wedding gown during a heatwave. Her theatrical looks are a blessing on the timeline, a signal that (sorry, I have to say it!) nature is healing, and that cosmos are realigning into something approaching normalcy. Lady Gaga wears strange things, and we adore her for it. After a stint wearing rather traditional (by Gaga’s standards, anyway) formal dresses out and about, Mother Monster was spotted dashing about in the aforementioned shoes for the second time this week....

DUA LIPA CHANNELS ROYALCORE IN “DEMEANOR” MUSIC VIDEO (NYLON)

NYYPP
Dua Lipa is still hard at work, as she stars in a brand new music video for “Demeanor” by the late rapper Pop Smoke, which debuted on Thursday. The Future Nostalgia singer channeled royalcore (or Regencycore for the Bridgerton fans) for her latest look, wearing a vintage corset piece from Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring 1998 couture collection, as hinted by stylist Lorenzo Possoco on Instagram, and Vram jewelry. While Gaultier’s original 18th-century-inspired design was paired with a fitted black gown on the runway, Possoco swapped the dress for a full white ball skirt instead. Plus, in lieu of a crown or tiara to truly give Lipa the full princess aesthetic, hairstylist Chris Appleton gave the pop star bangs and turned her long brown hair into bows. MODEL JULIA SCHÖNBERG WEARING...

7 BEADED JEWELRY BRANDS THAT ARE ALL OVER INSTAGRAM (NYLON)

nyu
In an unexpected turn of events, the minimalist jewelry trend that has reigned supreme over the years finally has some competition, and it’s coming in strong. Alongside the return to statement prints and over-the-top party dressing, “re-emergence style” now manifests itself in eye-catching jewelry, too. Enter playful, craftcore-inspired beaded jewelry, largely spearheaded by emerging brands that are all over our Instagram feeds — and have only launched within the past year or two. The fun-loving aesthetic is hard to miss, and like many of the biggest trends these days, it’s a joyous nod to Y2K fashion and ’90s style. Childlike, nostalgia-inducing jewelry was already bubbling up as a trend well before the pandemic, but lockdowns, Zoom meetings, and quarantine boredom largely fueled its widespread...

NYLON FIT PICKS: BELLA HADID’S SNEAKERS, MEGAN THEE STALLION’S NAKED DRESS, & MORE CELEBRITY LOOKS (NYLON)

ny
There’s a certain point in every relationship that truly defines a couple. Far beyond the “just talking” period and “honeymoon” phase, it’s when the pair have spent so much time together that the lines between their own significant wardrobes have blurred. Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly are proof of the power of coordinating outfits (see also Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker and their similar punk-pop aesthetic). Cardi B and Offset recently wore the same camo shorts, while Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were twinning in trucker hats. Even Beyoncé and Jay-Z have been seen in the same looks before. Bella Hadid and her newly revealed boyfriend Marc Kalman are the latest to get in on the matching couple style trend. While out in New York City...
