Kamala Harris made history Wednesday night, officially accepting the Democratic party's vice presidential nomination. During the virtual Democratic National Convention, she gave a speech that introduced herself to the national stage; she spoke about her mother, being the child of immigrants, the legacy of Black politicians and activists who blazed a trail for her. Her clothes told part of her story, too. The senator from California wore a burgundy double-breasted blazer and trousers that she accessorized with a pearl necklace. The look was no great departure from the conservative fashions usually associated with the world of politics—pantsuits and pearls have long been part of the vernacular. But the details spoke volumes. White has become a popular color for women in politics in recent years,...

In the burgeoning era of influencer beauty collaborations, knowing who truly has a say in what products they put their name on can be a tightly held industry secret. But the new HipDot x FacedByKareem Palette is all about transparency and teamwork. In February, makeup artist Kareem Maliek Rogers, known as FacedByKareem to his 20,400 (and counting) Instagram followers, put together a proposal for a sunset-meets-neutral palette — down to the exact undertones, fonts, and shade names he wanted to include — and HipDot created it to a T. "I put the shade name, what it meant to me, the undertone, like, slightly red, slightly golden, neutral but still have like a little bit of coolness to it. I made it very specific in the email," Rogers...

If wearing face masks out in public will be a part of our standard operating procedure for the foreseeable future, we might as well do it in style. We've been matching our masks to our makeup and matching our masks to our looks. Several designers started making reusable masks early on the pandemic. Now Burberry has joined their ranks with the launch of its first-ever face mask collection. Burberry's masks are patterned in the brand's iconic Nova Check print and come in two different colorways: tan and light blue. Each mask was crafted from revalued fabric and antimicrobial technology, and provide Particle Filtration Efficiency (PFE). The pieces also arrive in its own portable pouch made from the same materials as the mask to protect it even...

Finding More Gray Hairs? You’re Not Alone (Harper’s Bazaar)

I found my first gray hair months before my 27th birthday—and minutes after watching Moonstruck. I’d chattered to my boyfriend about Cher’s salt-and-peppers curls as the 1987 movie played, saying how refreshing it was to see a woman with silver in her hair on a screen. However—spoilers for the decades-old movie ahead—I was stockstill when, partway through the film, the character decides to “take out the gray” during her pursuit of a younger man. I didn’t need to explain to my boyfriend, or anyone, how that felt to watch: Cher’s character was doing what was expected of her. And not an hour later, as I stood in front of my bathroom mirror examining the snow-white hair near the front of my head, I...

WAP
We could all use a friend like Cardi B. She and Megan Thee Stallion have been dominating the charts with their new song, “WAP.” The rap track has enjoyed record-breaking streams in its first week and currently sits at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. To celebrate their shared success, Cardi sent over a special gift to Hot Girl Meg this week: a custom Birkin bag. And the one-of-a-kind creation is a must see. A dedicated Birkin lover herself, Cardi knows a thing or two about the iconic Hermès style. She gifted her co-rapper the covetable handbag in orange, but naturally took it to the next level. It appears that she had an artist make it even more rare by painting Meg on...

For more than 25 years, Supreme has been painting the town red. Of course, that town is none other than New York City, where the streetwear label opened its first store in SoHo, in April 1994. The location of many an around-the-block line of superfans, that shop has become a downtown institution and emblematic of the brand. “New York is synonymous with Supreme—when you hear the name, you automatically envision their signature white-on-red palette,” says Pat McGrath, who has joined forces with Supreme for its first-ever beauty collaboration. What’s on deck for the streetwear label’s debut foray into makeup? “An iconic red, embodied in the ultimate matte lipstick,” says McGrath, who created a special “Supreme” shade of her cult-favorite MatteTrance formula. The cool blue-red...

The coronavirus continues to alter the way we are living, shopping, and, in many cases, consuming food. Chefs, restaurants, and delivery organizations across the country have been mobilizing to feed healthcare workers on the frontlines of the epidemic, and are accepting donations to be able to continue to do so for as long as needed. Five-star kitchens are opening up shop and scaling up their operations to feed hundreds of hospital employees, and boxes of gourmet meals and fresh produce are being dropped off to those hungry, in need, and doing essential work across the country. Here, the Michelin-star chefs, neighborhood restaurants, and celebrity gourmands are tapping their resources to feed those on the front lines of the fight against...

The Rise of ‘Tweakments’ (Glamour)

The last time I got Botox, my dermatologist, Melissa Levin, M.D., asked me, “So you still want to have movement, right?” I nodded. I don't want my muscles to be frozen in place. I would just like to look the way I did in college, when I still got carded on Monday nights at the local Chili’s. These days I can order a margarita and they’ll just…bring it to me. I’m not alone in my desire to keep my face looking like my face. Tweakments, or super-small injections of neuromodulators and filler in order to create a natural result, are gaining in popularity. “A tweakment is not different from an injectables treatment per se, but I think of it as a minimal refinement to your...

Loungewear as everyday wear may be having a moment right now, but in Malibu (where you’ll often see people in hoodies, sweatpants, and Uggs) comfort-first style has long been the accepted dress code. Small wonder then that the perfect lockdown-era legging should come courtesy of model and Malibu native Kaia Gerber in collaboration with Bleusalt, a line of luxe, locally-produced loungewear. Launched in 2017 by photographer-turned-designer Lyndie Benson, Bleusalt’s beach-friendly pieces are all made from a super-soft, sustainable, breathable, and machine washable fiber derived from beechwood tree pulp, and the line is already a firm favorite among locals like Jennifer Meyer, Patrick Dempsey (who designed a six-piece men’s capsule collection for the brand in 2018), Pierce Brosnan and Minnie Driver. The Gerber-Crawford...
