Beepy Bella’s Latest T-Shirt Collaboration Is a Fantastical Treat to the Senses (VOGUE)

MUSHROOM_EDIT
Since starting her line in 2019, Isabella Lalonde of Beepy Bella has become well-known in fashion circles for creating whimsical, fairy-dust-sprinkled jewelry. Her pieces are dotted with natural stones—freshwater pearls and teardrops—and dotted with pendants of mushrooms and crosses, worn by the likes of Dua Lipa, Bella Hadid, and Halsey. And now Lalonde has transferred that magical air to a T-shirt in a collaboration with the label A.Avaati. Enhancement of Reality Tee, $120; beepybella.worldPhoto: Courtesy of @beepybella Lalonde discovered A.Avaati through Instagram.

Teeny tiny bags were the biggest things to come out of the fall/winter 2019 Paris Fashion Week circuit, thanks to Jacquemus' now-famous Le Chiquito purses. But if Nina Ricci has its way, the latest cult-fave accessory just might be a literal bucket worn as a hat or bag—you choose. On Friday, Nina Ricci presented its womenswear spring/summer 2020 collection in Paris. Among the looks were organza dresses and jumpsuits, floral blazers and puffy-shouldered blouses in neutral hues. Snakeskin prints mingled among pastel hues like lavender, baby pink, canary and more. ESTROPGETTY IMAGES ESTROPGETTY IMAGES ESTROPGETTY IMAGES The exaggerated collars, voluminous silhouettes and cut-out boots were enough to captivate you. But then, models walked down the runway with oversized buckets—yes, actual buckets—resting on top of their heads, reminiscent...

Emily In Paris’s Ashley Park Made History at the Critics Choice Awards Last Night (VOGUE)

210307_0020_ASHLEY_PARK_CRITICS_CHOICE_AWARDS_166
Emily In Paris star Ashley Park worked double-duty at last night’s Critics Choice Awards as both a presenter and nominee. The actor was on-location at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica to present the best comedy special category, and she was also nominated for best supporting actress in a comedy series. The latter nomination actually turned out to be a historic moment for the star: Park was the first Asian person ever to be nominated in her category. “When I found out, that hit me deeply, mostly because I was shocked—while simultaneously not being surprised at all,” Park tells Vogue. “I and other Asians grew up hardly seeing people who looked like us on screen, so I’m grateful to Emily in Paris and to the critics for...

Meena Harris and UGG Spotlight Four Phenomenal Women (Harper’s Bazaar)

ss21-w-meena-harris-fluff-yeah-1095119-apl-v-1-1615229090
UGG is celebrating International Women’s Day in a very cool way. The Southern California–based footwear company has tapped Meena Harris, the founder of Phenomenal, a social-conscious label known for its slogan tees, for a campaign titled #POWEREDBYHER. In one image, Harris sits atop a white car wearing a fitted Kelly green suit, ball drop earrings, and, of course, UGG’s Fluff Yeah Slides in apple green. The blazer-and-trouser combo perfectly reflects Harris’s MO: suave and totally in control (a real boss), but also fun and approachable. In the wake of the pandemic, however, her personal style went through some adjustments. “For me, home style, for the most part, has come to mean Zoom style,” she tells BAZAAR.com. “I’m basically living in Phenomenal tees and sweatshirts. There...

Meghan Markle Wears an Armani Belted Dress for Her Oprah Tell-All Interview (MARIE CLAIRE)

megan-dress-2-1614559946
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's sit-down conversation with Oprah has been teased as an explosive, honest, and intimate conversation the likes of which royal fans have never seen. But it also marks the first joint televised interview the couple has done since stepping back from their duties as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and since announcing the news of their second child. So what does one wear for such a momentous occasion? Armani. In a new teaser for the special, airing this weekend, Markle can be seen in a black silk Armani dress, embellished with an asymmetrical floral pattern and matching belt. She completed the polished look with a simple yet sophisticated pair of black stiletto pumps from one of her favorite footwear brands, Aquazzura. (Her exact...

The Live Hermès Show Will Dance Across the Planet, From New York to Paris to Shanghai (VOGUE)

STILL_2_169
We’ve seen shows streamed around the world to locally curated audiences of claqueurs and influencers—that happened even before COVID—but has a house ever held a single live show across three cities in three continents? If not—and we think not—then Hermès is about to register another first in its 184-year history. Saturday’s Hermès show will kick off at 8:30 a.m. local time in New York before continuing in Paris (not long after 2:30 p.m. local time) then concluding in Shanghai (at approximately 9:50 p.m. local time). This means that this single physical fashion show will last nearly 14 hours (time zone wise) and cover a distance of nearly 21,000 kilometers, yet be entirely digestible in under 30 minutes from your nearest screen, wherever you happen to be. Over a Zoom...

At 24 Years Old, Charles De Vilmorin Is Upending Couture (ELLE)

1-stylepoints-charles-de-vilmorin-1613761190
You might not expect an haute couture presentation to begin with a closeup of the designer himself, his face and body daubed with Day-Glo paint, wielding an aerosol can. But Charles de Vilmorin, the 24-year-old French phenom who was the talk of this past couture week, thinks it’s a sign of how the ages-old art is changing. “The fact that my young brand was on the couture calendar,” he says, “is proof that couture wants and needs to change, and be more open and [current]. I think it’s a really good thing.” A hand-painted look from the spring 2021 couture collection. Remote shows can make it hard to convey the minute detailing and intricate embellishments that make the medium what it is. And...

With two children and a third on the way, actor Hilary Duff knows all about juggling motherhood with a busy work schedule.

The Baby Tee Is Back—With A Twist (ELLE)

deadly-doll-index2-1613169354
For musician and artist Jesse Jo Stark, 2020 was supposed to be the year. She’d been touring like crazy to promote her music, which sounds—in truly the best way—like a Creamsicle doused in whiskey and set aflame with a Zippo in a dive bar. She’d created a tiny line of merch called Deadly Doll for her albums; she was planning to finally perform at the music festivals she’d grown up attending as a California teen. And then, of course, the universe said “nope.” “I finally got where I wanted to be,” says the LA native. “I was performing my butt off. I was getting some streaming traction with the songs. I felt so good about the music I was making. And then it just…” she makes a poof sound. She...

We are entering a new era of Cardi B, who just released her new song, “Up,” last week. Along with the new record, coming out sometime in 2021, Cardi is here with a bold fresh fashion look, too. She has been dropping some serious fits on Instagram, including a 3-D dress, loads of vintage Dior, and even a Louis Vuitton cocoon coat. But her latest ensemble is one her best posts yet. Earlier today, Cardi opted for a zesty look by Ottolinger that included a strappy bra and high-waisted leggings. The label’s designers, Christa Bösch and Cosima Gadient, have made these types of slinky, strappy pieces their M.O. Typically, the duo drapes every look on the body, using it as a sort of canvas. Stars like...
