Marc Jacobs Ushers in American Fashion’s Full-Fledged Comeback (W Magazine)

vog6300
For years now, Marc Jacobs has marked the grand finale of New York Fashion Week with the final slot on the official calendar. Of course, things have changed over the course of the past year—making the designer’s IRL comeback more major than ever. (And that’s saying something, given how his last show, in February of 2020, casually featured Miley Cyrus amongst the models.) On Monday night, at the New York Public Library’s Fifth Avenue main branch, the designer staged New York’s first full-fledged major fashion show in over a year; as the New York Times’s Vanessa Friedman noted, it was even non-socially distanced—complete with hugs and kisses. Many models did, however, wear face coverings, in the form of puffer snoods that stretched down their...

I Can’t Get Enough of Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian’s Red-Hot Couple Style (VOGUE)

VOG630
Like much of the internet, I’m obsessed with Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s PDA-filled relationship—down to the thumb-sucking video posted on Instagram. As a sign of how hot and heavy this relationship is, they’ve naturally started syncing their styles. Kourtney has been wearing way more black, dressing in punkier, sexier outfits like leather shorts with matching cuissards, an itty-bitty silk black dress with a cutout at the stomach, or a T-shirt emblazoned with “suck” and “bite.” Barker’s style is more simple—he often wears a cutoff graphic T-shirt and a pair of low-slung black jeans—but has the same rude vibe. MALIBU, CA - MARCH 19: Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are seen at Nobu on March 19, 2021 in Malibu, California. (Photo...

These Are the Best Summer Handbags Under $200 (VOGUE)

VG629
The easiest way to make your outfits feel a little fresher is to swap out your accessories. Something as small as a pair of sunglasses, crafty jewelry, or a bucket hat can instantly transform a sundress or short set each time you wear it. And, luckily, there’s no shortage of summer handbags, baubles, and bits that won’t cost you a whole paycheck. This season’s assortment of handbags falls in the $200-and-under sweet spot and comes in timeless materials and silhouettes to be worn summer after summer. From woven and raffia top handle bags and crossbodies to beach-ready totes and netted, beaded bags, these styles were made with summer in mind. See Marni Market and Muun’s colorful totes or Ines Bressand and Bembien’s for their beautiful takes on leather detailing with...

Lady Gaga’s Travel Outfit Is a Fashion Sugar Rush (VOGUE)

@ladygaga/Instagram We all know that Lady Gaga is capable of pulling off the most outré, high-concept fashion moments imaginable. Who can forget her four-part, camp-themed extravaganza of a look at the 2019 Met Gala, or the time she arrived at the Grammy awards in a giant egg? But spare a thought for her off-duty style, too. Whether she’s wearing a sleek all-black look and toting a Celine handbag, or trying something a little more playful, like a rainbow Versace jacket and jean shorts, her relaxed looks are also worth noting. Gaga’s latest outfit, which she posted to Instagram earlier today, certainly leans towards the latter category. Taking a selfie on a private airplane while en route to New York City, Gaga sported a camp collar shirt and bucket hat over a white bandeau top, paired...

The Antidote to the Sexy Bikini Is a ’20s-Inspired Onesie (VOGUE)

vog629
So far, this summer has been all about the barely there bikini. But those who wish to show a little less skin are in luck: Abigail Stern of Matek has just launched a new onesie, called the All-in-One-Z. The singlet bathing suit offers up far more coverage than your standard Brazilian thong or French high-cut bikini. Though Matek has been known for its tech-minded baselayers made for skiing, this is the first piece of swimwear that the label has released. Stern garnered inspiration from vintage swimwear she found from heritage labels and her relatives’ closets. One image that stuck in Stern’s mind was of men in onesies gathered around the pool in the 1920s. “It wasn’t like a wrestling singlet—it was...

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...

10 Braless (Yet Supportive) Outfit Ideas to Try This Summer (InStyle)

CREDIT: JEREMY MOELLER/GETTY IMAGES To bra or not to bra? That is the question weighing on many people's minds as we re-enter society as social beings post-pandemic. For some, #vaxxedgirlsummer will involve breaking out every outfit that never got to see the light of day outside their (super sanitized) apartment in 2020, never making it to those rooftop bars or bottomless brunches. But others are on the fence. After all, how do you go from wireless to wire clad after almost a year and a half off the hook? The short answer: if you don't want to, you don't have to. Contrary to popular belief, wearing a bra (or any undergarment, for that matter) isn't mandatory. Just like there are no actual "body type" fashion rules you...
