Teyonah Parris Went From Juilliard To Making Marvel Movie History (Harper’s Bazaar)

by cometrend
CELEB, CULTURE
Teyonah Parris’s fascination with superheroes began with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. In a world where most ’90s kids identified with TMNT’s resident reporter April O’Neil, Parris wanted to be a Turtle. She loved their bravado. But did heroes always have to be men? “Turtles are turtles,” Parris says. “But they’re guys.” So it’s fitting that Parris will now get to have a hand in making superhero history herself. This winter, the actress will become the first female Black character to join the beloved Avengers when she takes on the role of Monica Rambeau in WandaVision, a new Marvel Studios series streaming on Disney+. For Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fans, WandaVision offers a deeper look at the relationship between Avengers Wanda Maximoff, a.k.a. Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth...

Every Question You Were Afraid To Ask About Dermarolling, Answered (ELLE)

by cometrend
BEAUTY
I know I’m not alone when I say that the current lockdown has been both a blessing and a curse for my skin. What’s great about the lockdown is that I can really work on my acne without fear of air pollution, dirt, and debris from my daily commute, triggering breakouts. Then, there’s the downside. Thanks to lockdown mandates, many of us (myself included) cannot treat said breakouts with monthly facials or trips to the derm’s office. Instead, I’ve been searching for ways to supplement professional services with at-home treatments—safely, of course. Enter: Dermarolling. At first glance, the handheld machine comes off as intimidating. Rolling miniature needles up, down, and across my face is supposed to help combat acne scarring and evening out...

CELEB, FASHION, MUSIC
It’s the first day of the new year, and whether you’re reflecting on your resolutions or nursing a hangover, we could all do with a dose of something cheerful to start 2021 off right. And on that, Harry Styles has you covered. The pop star is capping off a year of chart-topping success and Grammy nominations for his sophomore album Fine Line (and, lest we forget, a headline-grabbing Vogue cover) with a surprise video, released earlier today, for his song “Treat People With Kindness.” The black-and-white visual sees Styles as a cabaret star performing in an Art Deco nightclub, decked out in a head-to-toe Gucci look featuring a glittering cropped tuxedo jacket, high-waisted Jazz Age trousers, and a Fred Astaire-worthy sequinned bow tie. It wasn’t just the timing of the...

Gabriela Hearst Named Creative Director of Chloé (VOGUE)

by cometrend
FASHION
Gabriela Hearst, the Uruguay-born, New York–based designer whose eponymous label turned five this year, is the new creative director of Chloé. CEO Riccardo Bellini welcomed her in a statement this morning. Hearst is the first non-European to hold this post (Natacha Ramsay-Levi’s exit was announced last week). Her craft-forward aesthetic meshes with Chloé’s, but what likely sealed the deal for Hearst was her sustainability bona fides. Last month in an interview with WWD, Bellini indicated that Chloé was seeking B Corporation certification for its social and environmental performance and creating an advisory board to hold the company accountable. “What a brand stands for, its beliefs and values, will become as relevant as products and aesthetics,” he said. For many brands sustainability has become...

CELEB, FASHION
Velour is making a comeback, and Irina Shayk is helping spread that message.

The entire ensemble comes courtesy of SKIMS, Kim Kardashian West’s shapewear label that recently introduced a loungewear collection made of the plush knit—one that older millennials know all too well. Velour Hoodie Skimsskims.com $78.00 SHOP NOW In the early 2000s, the velour tracksuit was the outfit of choice for celebs, society swans, and anyone who partied at Bungalow 8. Paired with a Von Dutch cap, bug-eye sunglasses, and a Starbucks cup, the style imbued ease, if indifference. It was a time when Instagram didn’t exist, when the Internet was accessed via dial-up, and when street style...

Everything to Know About the Met’s ‘About Time: Fashion and Duration’ Exhibition (VOGUE)

by cometrend
EVENT, FASHION
There will be no shortage of time puns heralding today’s preview of the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute’s new exhibition “About Time: Fashion and Duration”. So here’s one more: It’s about time this exhibit opened. Postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic from its original May 4 date, “About Time” will finally swing open its doors to the public on October 29, nearly half a year later. As such, it has had one of the longest gestation periods of any Costume Institute exhibition—ironic for a show whose very subject is time and timeliness. That irony is not lost on Andrew Bolton, the museum’s Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of the Costume Institute: nor is the paradox of opening a fashion exhibition about time in...

Rihanna on Working From Home, Dressing for Zoom, and Savage x Fenty’s Epic New Show (VOGUE)

by cometrend
CELEB, CULTURE, EVENT, FASHION
In case you were wondering, Rihanna has been doing just fine during lockdown. At times it feels like the beauty mogul, fashion designer, multiplatinum musician, and occasional actress has done everything a person can do, but 2020 allowed her to tackle a new challenge: relaxation. “What I’ve appreciated most is having a still spirit,” she shared over Zoom from Los Angeles. On set into the wee hours doing promos, Rihanna still manages to look Fenty fresh in a black belted leather jacket and lacy bra top. The vibe is glam-goth and arguably the chicest thing to ever grace Zoom. Though she’s clearly mastered above-the-waist dressing, she’d rather discuss the advantages this year’s reset has provided: “Just quieting my spirit and listening to what God and the...
