Like It or Not, Gaudy Y2K Style Is Roaring Back (VOGUE)

VV
Picture this: The year is 2003. Britney Spears’s masterful In the Zone is climbing the charts, social media has not yet taken over our lives, and Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are taking over our TV screens on The Simple Life wearing Von Dutch trucker hats. These were simpler, sillier times! Sure, Y2K fashion gets a bad rap in general, and it may have been gaudy at times—remember when we wore huge belts with literally everything?—but it was earnest and less produced than the average celebrity ’fit you see today. More importantly, it was fun, which is what getting dressed should be all about right now. But don’t get too sentimental about fashion of the past—because in 2021, like it or not, early-2000s style is coming back with a...

THIS RACY CUTOUTS TREND IS A FAVORITE AMONG CELEBRITIES (NYLON)

nyyy
As quarantine fashion begins its descent, the dearly-missed going-out trends are returning with a vengeance and showing a lot of skin. Stylish celebrities are leading the skin-baring charge with new iterations of the minimalistic cutout trend that has resurfaced since the early aughts. Move over nap dresses and loungewear, it’s time to embrace the pelvic cutout and let it all hang out. Street style connoisseur Bella Hadid first sparked the trend with her viral “ovary pants” from Paris. The all-black ensemble consisted of a tank top and leggings, which featured cutouts strategically placed across her hips. More pelvic cutouts among celebrities ensued: Kim Kardashian followed up on the trend a few days later in the Vatican with a Barragán gown that exposed her midriff and pelvic area, and...

Printed Jeans Are Back Like It’s 2012 (InStyle)

CREDIT: GETTY IMAGES We'll admit that it's taken some time to get back into the swing of things, like actually getting dressed day to day and having real, people-filled places to go. But now that our vaccinated bodies have gotten pretty used to strappy dresses, non-slipper shoes, and (somewhat) stiff pairs of pants, it's time to take things up a notch with printed jeans. Right in line with the chaotic bottoms trend, denim featuring graphic prints have been popping up on today's top celebrities for a few months now. On Instagram back in February 2021, Kylie Jenner posed in a swirly pair of pants from Tom Ford for Gucci Spring/Summer 2001, while Bella Hadid has also proven to be a big fan, owning both...

The Best Fashion in Normani and Cardi B’s “Wild Side” Video (W Magazine)

721
There was never any doubt that Normani and Cardi B’s latest music video, for their new single “Wild Side,” would be a moment. For starters, Normani made a brief but memorable appearance in “WAP,” channeling Naomi Campbell in a houndstooth homage to early 1990s Alaïa. And then, of course, there was the music-video milestone that Normani made without Cardi, who’s at this point practiced at breaking the internet: “Motivation” was such a highlight that People felt compelled to enumerate exactly how many days since Normani premiered it (apparently a full 700). The glorious cover art that the pair dropped in the hours earlier suggested that the focus would be not on fashion, but beauty: The most both Normani and Cardi wore were translucent underwear and...

Cartier’s Latest High Jewelry Collection Appeals to the Senses (W Magazine)

7211
A piece of fine jewelry or classic investment timepiece is never just an accessory—there’s always a rich story behind it. In W’s new series Rock Stars, we delve into what makes past, present, and future heirlooms so unique. I’ve always thought of myself as someone who is pretty resistant to lust. Level-headed, detail-oriented, not particularly romantic (a Virgo through and through), I tend to be attracted to substance before beauty, and disinterested in flash. That’s why I was surprised the first time I fell head over heels for a piece of jewelry. Caught off guard by my own awe in the presence of a shimmering set of stones, I said to my companion, “I feel like such a cliché right now.” I was a woman bewitched...
