Emma Roberts's Two-Tone Look Could Double as a Chanel Oberlin Costume

Emma Roberts is all about embracing color . On March 31, the " American Horror Story " actress stepped out in NYC for Kate Spade New York's fall 2022 presentation wearing a serious amount of houndstooth. Styled by her go-to duo Brit and Kara Elkin , Roberts wore a red-and-pink houndstooth-patterned coat that featured red fur along the cuffs and collar. She stuck to the same bright color scheme under the coat with a matching red-and-pink tweed dress. Roberts finished the ensemble with a pair of red pointed-toe heels and a white Kate Spade New York structured purse. If you look closely, you can see Roberts's dainty gold huggie earrings, each with an accompanying ruby stone. It's an outfit that Chanel Oberlin, her "Scream Queens" character, would approve of - thanks in part to the chic coat and white Lelet NY hair bow. Roberts posed for photos with Katie Holmes and Rosario Dawson at the event as they checked out the brand's new collection of printed...

This Andie Swimsuit Brings Mykonos Vibes to NYC

Swimwear brand Andie is known for making pool-ready pieces tailored to fit the body in all the right places. Scrolling through the swimsuit maker's site, you'll find a sea of figure-flattering one- and two-piece bathing suits in a range of colors and available in sizes XS-XXXL. Recently, I was offered the opportunity to give an Andie one-piece swimsuit a try and chose The Mykonos ($115). The Mykonos silhouette is available in many fabrics and colorways. There's the "flat," which is made of nylon and spandex and available in black, cherry red, and navy. "Eco Poly," the second fabric, is made of spandex and a recycled, plastic-bottle-sourced polyester; it's available in a limited-edition espresso color. Finally, there's Ribbed : a nylon-spandex blend that offers the most compressive fit, according to Andie's site. It's available in two classic colors: black and white. After analyzing the size chart, I chose a black, long-torso versi...

The Reason Penelope's Wardrobe Shifts From Yellow to Pink in "Bridgerton" Season 2

Penelope Featherington's yellow dresses aren't going anywhere in " Bridgerton " season two, but now more than ever, the details are worth honing in on. Season one costume designer Ellen Mirojnick originally chose yellow for Penelope - whose alter ego is gossip columnist Lady Whistledown - because it represents her deceitful nature and also ties back to the Regency era, when yellow was one of the more fashionable colors. Her mother, Portia, who is incredibly concerned with the family's social standing, has chosen the shade for her daughters as she works tirelessly to find them husbands. In season two, Penelope's distaste for yellow is highlighted when Edwina Sharma compliments her dress at the ball and she interprets the remark as sarcasm. "Oh, you have a sense of humor," Penelope says, going on to admit to Edwina she's grown weary of the color. "I can understand," Edwina replies. "Though, I suppose in truth it is not a matter ...

The Controversial 2000s Denim Trend H.E.R. Is Excited to Wear Again

There was a time when Grammy-winning artist Gabriella Sarmiento, commonly known as H.E.R , was afraid to wear sweatpants on stage. "I'd [think] this is too casual," the 24-year-old singer/songwriter tells POPSUGAR over Zoom. "I need to be fully glammed." Eventually, she learned to embrace "big hair and big sweaters with sweatpants" and do as she pleases. "Fashion to me is all about dressing from the inside out," she says. "And that means being comfortable in my own skin no matter what." She's hoping to inspire that same confidence in others with her new limited-edition collection with The Drop by Amazon . The unisex line of earth-tone hoodies, sweatpants, and shorts includes a nod to H.E.R.'s cultural heritage. She's half Filipino, and one hoodie is printed with a catchphrase she grew up hearing her mother and grandmother say: "Bahala ka sa buhay mo," which roughly translates to "live your life." ...

Rihanna Styled Her Sheer Oscars Afterparty Gown With Platform Sneakers

Rihanna's maternity style has been anything but basic, and that sentiment definitely holds true for the outfit she chose to wear for an Oscars afterparty hosted by Beyoncé and JAY-Z at the Chateau Marmont. The singer and entrepreneur tossed aside any outdated bump-styling rules there may be with a gorgeous sheer gown by Valentino. Her daring look was from Valentino's fall/winter 2022 collection and consisted of a super-sheer top with poofy organza sleeves and a sequin skirt. She wore only a black bandeau as a layering piece, highlighting her growing baby bump from underneath the bodice of the dress. As for her accessories, the star wore a pair of black bedazzled gloves that added a touch of glamour to the ensemble. Instead of balancing in heels , the singer chose comfort with white sneakers that had tall platform soles, and she finished the look with large, diamond-encrusted hoops. Her hair was styled in a zigzag part, a subtle nod to the '90s beauty trend . Rihanna p...

The head-to-toe-black ensemble, complete with oversize pockets, was from Bottega Veneta. And it's certainly not the first time Harvey's worn the luxury brand for evenings out.

Barbie Ferreira is among the most colorful dressers in young Hollywood , and she proved the point at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty on Sunday, March 27, when she arrived in a silk Fendi scarf dress infused with '70s glamour. The " Euphoria " actor, who works with stylist Chris Horan on everything from editorials to events, plucked this design straight off Kim Jones's spring/summer 2022 runway, where an archival logo was revamped. The subtle yet striking "Fendi" pattern was imprinted across Ferreira's strapless dress, which was composed of diagonal ivory, pink, and gold stripes from top to bottom. Ferreira and Horan completely played into the '70s vibe, selecting circular Fendi O'Lock earrings that retail for $920 and are made from pink plexiglass, reminiscent of a retro pair of oversize sunglasses from the decade.

This $29 Midi Dress Always Gets Mistaken as Designer

If you saw how many dresses I own, you'd probably audibly gasp. I am truly obsessed with the idea of a one-and-done outfit. Plus, as a shopping editor, I get to test out a ton of clothes. I try everything from designer investment pieces to super-affordable trend buys, so I have a good idea of what's on the market. Right now, the spring release I've been wearing the most is this Old Navy Tiered Two-Tone All-Day Midi Swing Dress ($29, originally $45). I was so impressed with the cool design and quality of the 100-percent cotton fabric. What I like about this Old Navy midi dress and sizing info: Beyond being an incredibly cute design, this dress is also ridiculously comfortable. The loose, tiered dress is easy to move or lounge around in, and the puff sleeves fit my arms just right. I would say the dress is true to size; I'm wearing what I normally would, a large. This style comes in sizes XS-4X and petite and tall lengths. Plus, my favorite detail is that this dress h...

Katy Perry Brought Back the 2000s With Her Lace-Up Leather Pants

Katy Perry brought back a lot of memories with her latest outfit on Monday's episode of " American Idol ." The "Daisies" singer wore a pair of red leather pants for the show's two-hour Hollywood Week kickoff episode. Perry's red-hot pants gave off a very nostalgic feel with a lace-up front and bell-bottom leg. She styled the slacks with a cheetah-print corset top that only added to the Y2K vibe with its little red ties on each strap. Perry accessorized the look with a pair of square-toed heels, chain-link necklaces, and bracelets. Ultimately, we'd consider it a tamer version of Christina Aguilera's "Dirrty" outfit . Perry showed off her outfit on Instagram with the caption, "Don't let the Monday blues get you down, #americanidol is on tonight and it's #hollywoodweek babes 🐆🧡." During an impromptu performance of her hit song "Teenage Dream," Perry, who was singing with fellow judges Luke Bryan and Lion...

J Lo Rocks a 2000s-Style Crop Top For an Outing With Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez has a penchant for dressing like she did in the 2000s , resulting in plenty of stylish déjà vu moments, especially when she's spending time with boyfriend Ben Affleck . The couple were spotted out in LA on March 25, and while Affleck wore his typical flannel and denim, Lopez brought us back to the early aughts in a cropped slub sweatshirt, high-waisted leggings that read "JLO" on the back right calf, and Nike Air Jordans. Lopez opted for her go-to accessories, including thin gold hoops, a simple pendant necklace, a chunky flower ring , and a yellow Hermès Kelly bag to match the exact same shade of her crop top. A loose, midriff-baring throw-over top like Lopez's is a fundamental piece for pulling off the Y2K athleisure trend, especially in a bright pop of color. With the addition of baggy sleeves and a distressed hemline, the sweater brings maximum impact to the overall look - even though it's a relatively basic piece. Lopez wearing it on an er...

The Reason Kate Sharma's Dresses Get Brighter Throughout Bridgerton Season 2

There's no denying that Kate Sharma , played by "Sex Education"'s Simone Ashley, is the " Bridgerton " character the fashion world has taken notice of since the release of season two on Netflix. Her regal, richly colored gowns are even more captivating than the ones Daphne ( Phoebe Dynevor ) wore when she was love interest to the Duke of Hastings in season one. While Daphne wore plenty of " Bridgerton " blue and silvery shades, Kate tends toward jewel tones that speak to her sense of confidence. Kate wears shades like plum and teal, and her dresses are almost always finished with ornate jewelry, champagne colored gloves or a structured jacket in a coordinating print that bears signs of sophistication. Ellen Mirojnick was responsible for the costume design in season one , but Sophie Canale took the reins for season two. In total, the costume department produced 700 looks for the cast spanning across the eight new episodes that follow Kate and An...

At the 2022 Oscars, "West Side Story" actor Ariana DeBose worked closely with stylist duo Zadrian and Sarah to construct her red carpet look , opting to wear a red pantsuit by Valentino when she made history as the first Afro-Latinx person to win an acting award. She also became the first openly queer woman of color to win an acting Oscar. The 31-year-old star - who took home best actress in a supporting role for her portrayal of Anita in the musical - skipped the traditional ballgown and embraced the power suit instead, topped off with a matching coat. After winning at the Critics' Choice Awards , BAFTAs, and Golden Globes, DeBose was reportedly searching for an outfit that paid homage to " West Side Story " but also showed young girls they don't have to conform to what is typical or expected in society in order to succeed. "We knew from the moment that Ari saw the sketch and yelled, 'I'm wearing pants to the Oscars!!!!!!' that it was...
