Cardi B Gifted Megan Thee Stallion a Personalized, Over-the-Top Birkin Bag (VOGUE)

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...

un-charitya040920-1600-1-1587075733
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)

lede_social_final
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...

Kaia Gerber Inspired The Ultimate Lockdown-Era Legging (VOGUE)

kaiapant
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...

Meet the Stylist Behind Beyoncé’s Epic Visual Album (VOGUE)

Unknown-220(1)
Zerina Akers is having a moment. The Maryland bred stylist has long been a familiar name to fashion insiders and members of the Beyhive, but her cultural impact has never been more evident. After six years of working with Beyoncé Knowles, curating the music legend’s wardrobe in music videos, Instagram posts, and on red carpets, last week she helped deliver Knowles’s magnum opus, Black is King. A bombastic trip through the star’s Lion King companion album, The Gift, and across the African continent, it serves as a showcase for both their talents. With more than a hundred different looks, each frame of the film overflows with fashion culled from runways, boutiques, designers yet to be discovered by the mainstream, and custom pieces Akers...

How to Give Yourself a Spa-Level Facial at Home, According to Experts (Allure)

diy20facial
Our audience misses their stylists, derms, and manicurists as much as we do. Here, in our new series, we bring experts straight to the Allure reader’s home for lessons on handling at-home beauty like a pro. Welcome to House Calls. While we're all stuck indoors (or should be) for the foreseeable future, treating yourself to a much-deserved facial may seem like a far-off, unimaginable luxury — but that doesn't mean you shouldn't continue to care for your complexion. On the contrary, while the outside world continues to manifest constant feelings of anxiety, fear, and uncertainty, it's more important than ever to take care of your own mental health, and one of the best ways to do so, we'd argue, is by bringing a sense...
