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...

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

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.

Nina Ricci Sent Actual Bucket Hats Down The Runway (ELLE)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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...

Behold, Everything You Need To Know About Curtain Bangs (ELLE)

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...
