Lori Harvey Breaks Down Her ’90s-Inspired Makeup Routine (VOGUE)

Last weekend Lori Harvey took the fashion world by storm when photos surfaced of her wearing a custom glittering gold Prada gown to an intimate premiere party at boyfriend Michael B. Jordan’s home. As it turns out, an aureate moment is par for the course for the 24-year-old, who swears by a high-shine above-the-neck equation. “I love to be dewy and glowy and radiant,” Harvey says in the latest installment of Vogue’s Beauty Secrets. Naturally, the first step to a lit-from-within façade begins not with a highlighter or sparkling shadow, but rather a carefully considered complexion-saving routine. “Skin care is definitely one of the highest forms of self-care,” muses Harvey, who is currently putting the finishing touches on her own forthcoming cosmetic line,...

Valentino Makeup Is On The Way (ELLE)

Do you remember where you were the first time you watched Maison Valentino's whimsical couture gowns draped around a diverse cast of models down the runway? Or the first time Pat McGrath's ethereal beauty entranced you looks backstage at Valentino shows? Valentino's commitment to inclusivity is reinforced with each passing runway season and campaign, which brings us to the house's latest trick—Valentino Beauty. Designed by creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli, three words can best describe what's to come with Valentino Beauty: uniqueness, extravaganza, and experimentation. With experimentation being the operative word here, Valentino Beauty will debut with 50 foundation shades, 40 lipstick shades, and a slew of "multi-use, multi-finish products, that speak to the freedom of expression and individuality that lies at...

Massive Fuzzy Bucket Hats Are 2021’s Tiny Bags (VOGUE)

Welcome to Pattern Recognition: a column about fads for the trend-obsessed. Like so many trends, this one starts with Rihanna. A few weeks ago the singer made headlines for a look she sported to go to the bookstore: feathered vintage jeans from Tom Ford’s reign at Gucci, and a massive, furry hat by London designer Benny Andallo. The proportions were on par with Marc Jacobs’s hat for his fall 2012 collection. That is to say: substantial. Rihanna has worn Andallo’s hat, a pistachio green one from British milliner Emma Brewin back in early 2020, and, most recently, a zebra-print number from R13. But she’s not the only one on board. Hailey Bieber wore a yellow furry hat in March (along with a matching patent-leather suit), they...

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

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...

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...

Selena Gomez’s Makeup Artist Melissa Murdick On How Her ‘De Una Vez’ Rare Beauty Look Came To Be (ELLE)

Selena Gomez’s soft, romantic makeup in her “De Una Vez” video was made using Gomez’s Rare Beauty line, of course, and came together through a collaboration between Gomez and her longtime makeup artist Melissa Murdick. “Selena has an eye for beauty, obviously, so I typically approach her with some of my own ideas—thank goodness for Pinterest boards—and see what input she has from there!” Murdick says. For “De Una Vez” specifically, Murdick pulled runway images from Dolce & Gabbana spring 2014, Alexander McQueen’s spring 2016 runway, and more as the two pinned down the final look. “Selena’s look was meant to be a bit romantic,” Murdick said. “I wanted her to look very beautiful and feminine to match the overall feel of the video. I...

All the Details Behind Lady Gaga’s Inauguration Makeup Look (VOGUE)

Today, at the inauguration ceremony for President Joe Biden in Washington, D.C., Lady Gaga took the stage and dazzled the nation with her moving performance of the national anthem. For the momentous occasion, the pop superstar wore a custom Schiaparelli Couture ball gown, accented by a large gold dove pin (an emblem of peace). She topped it off with an ornamental beauty look that will go down in history. Putting her own twist on an elegant updo, Gaga’s long, platinum lengths were braided into a duo of milkmaid braids and woven with sumptuous black ribbon. Adding a touch of softness, a few face-framing wisps were pulled out in the front, while a pair of red poppies, another nod to a peaceful future, were...
