Thinking about getting curtain bangs? I feel you. My itch to get the fringe began during the lengthy quarantine period—between my phase of scrolling through banana bread recipes and stint as a whipped coffee barista for my best friend. I decided to take the plunge as photos of celebrities with the look, like Ariana Grande in her 34+35 music video and new mom Gigi Hadid (who, BTW, garnered 3.6 million comments on her fringed look in the first few hours of her posting her selfie) made it that much more covetable. Admittedly, I was apprehensive before making my hair appointment. Even though I wasn’t scheduling a full-blown haircut, I knew that the slightest tweak to any hair look can have a transformative effect. (Again, did...

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. For the past five months or so, Duff has been in New York City shooting the seventh season of her TV Land series, Younger. But with her due date approaching sometime soon, Duff is now back on mom duty at home in California. “I’m so happy to be back in my backyard in the sun right now, with my dogs,” Duff says over the phone last week. “My hurricane of a daughter is taking a nap and it feels so nice.” In addition to Younger, Duff is also keeping busy with her new collaboration with Smash + Tess, a Canadian loungewear and rompers brand. “I’ve...

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

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...

Kim Jones presented his first haute couture collection for Fendi in his new role of artistic director of womenswear for the Rome-based brand—and it was a true fashion spectacle. Original supermodels Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, and Christy Turlington walked alongside new supers Bella Hadid and Adwoa Aboah, as well as Farida Khelfa and Lila Grace Moss (daughter of Kate), while Demi Moore wore the first look out. But the show wasn’t about creating social media buzz so much as exhibiting the quietly beautiful creations Jones offered for his debut.

So, where did all these checkers come from? I first started noticing this trend at the beginning of the year, while aimlessly scrolling on Instagram. Every day, it seems a new brightly colored, geometric piece would pop up on my Explore page. I was being hounded by the squares, but I didn’t really mind as I double-tapped each photo I came across. From small, independent brands to big-name fashion houses, labels of all kinds agree that it’s all about checkers. The print has ebbed in and out of fashion for a while, popping up every few years. Ever since Vans released its checkerboard slip-ons back in the early 1980s, the print has become associated with a grungy skater look in particular....

The spring 2021 season was uncharted for the fashion industry. Many brands, from New York and London to Milan and Paris, utilized video and social media channels to present their collections, forgoing the traditional in-person runway presentations. It was an inventive time for many designers and their teams. And it appears that all those creative juices kept on flowing, seeping into their ad campaigns. Here, we track the best of the best from a wild and wonderful season.

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.

In the head-spinning age of multistep skin-care routines and mic-drop makeup launches, The One is a space for minimalists to sound off on the single beauty product that’s found a longtime spot in their carefully curated routines. The interior designer Camille Vergnes may accent her Le Marais appartement with Japanese antiques, Vienna Secession touches, and a mohair Edward Wormley “Big Texan” sofa (not to mention a wardrobe filled with Art Deco jewelry and vintage Yves Saint Laurent blouses), but above the neck, the Toulouse-raised 30-something prefers to be more pared back. “In France, it’s about enhancing the beautiful features you already have in a subtle way,” says Vergnes, who complements her long, virgin lengths with just a hydrated, foundation-free complexion (courtesy of Deciem’s hyaluronic acid and the French...
