Fashion Impulse Mania

View this post on Instagram A post shared by DUA LIPA (@dualipa) Dua Lipa's days of lounging by the pool aren't over yet. Even as summer comes to a close, the " Potion " singer continues to hit the beach in denim thongkinis , colorful bikinis , and other seasonal looks. On Aug. 31, Lipa, half submerged in blue-green pool water, posed in a sequined, flame-print bodysuit by Loewe that has us almost convinced she's a mermaid. "never leaving la isla bonita," Lipa captioned her slideshow on Instagram, showing the strapless swimsuit look from all angles. Coated in azure sequins, Lipa's one-piece swimsuit , the Loewe Intarsia Sequin Bodysuit in Viscose ($2,900), beautifully mimics the ocean waves - with a fiery twist. On her left side, the suit's design bursts into shades of red and yellow, creating the image of flames across the front and back of the look. While fans were burning up in the comments ove...

Kim Kardashian and Balenciaga have had a year of synergy, and today that relationship shows no signs of slowing down. Balenciaga released its Winter 2022 campaign on Aug. 31, with Kardashian front and center. The beauty mogul has been an ambassador for the house for quite some time, spearheading some of its biggest trends: the Pantaleggings , the Le Cagole bag , the hybrid bodysuit dress, and the catsuit . The campaign also stars fellow Balenciaga muse " Euphoria "'s Alexa Demie . For this campaign, Balenciaga expands on the theme of "a time in the future when weather is mostly simulated," which we saw physically interpreted at the shows back in March. For the Fall 2022 Ready-to-Wear show , models walked around in a simulated snowstorm. The new campaign sees Kardashian as the winter queen in environments of snow and sea ice, whereas Demie is shown in a desert-like climate. The campaign images, centered around climate change, were created by Berlin-based phot...

Starting off the tour in Düsseldorf, Germany, the 36-year-old performer returned to the stage in outfits made of black leather, red chiffon, gold lamé, and more. And her latest outfit is the perfect going-out look for Halloween , featuring crystals, a skeleton print, and a fitted sheer fabric. Lady Gaga is documenting her performance wardrobe on TikTok, and her most recent look doesn't disappoint. In the clip above, the "Hold My Hand" singer strutted down the stairs in a black sheer minidress with billowing chiffon sleeves and an embellished skeleton on the front. She accessorized with her signature six-inch platform heels and silver hoop earrings, looking every bit the pop superstar. One of Gaga's most wearable onstage ensembles was a cutout black bodysuit with slouchy low-rise pants and a harness of sorts, ...

I don't feel that an outfit is complete without jewelry. You should see my vanity - it's full of everything from statement pieces to simple stackables. When I had the opportunity to test out Jenny Bird 's bestselling designs, I jumped at the opportunity. The brand is known for crafting elevated staples beloved by celebrities like Selena Gomez , Mindy Kaling, Kylie Jenner, Halsey, Jessica Alba , and more. To understand the brand's buzz, I tried this Jenny Bird Stevie Chain Necklace ($158) and these Jenny Bird U-Link Earrings ($98) - two top-sellers. When I received my delivery, I was immediately impressed by the thoughtful packaging as well as the obvious quality of the jewelry. The craftsmanship and chic designs stand out among my other (now former) everyday essentials.

Megan Fox serves up some fierce style moments in two new promotional images for her upcoming thriller film " Johnny & Clyde ," a spinoff on the storyline of the infamous couple Bonnie and Clyde. In one of the images, the 36-year-old actress (who's cosplaying a crime boss named Alana Hart), is seen defiantly holding a gun, clad in a purple minidress that matches her silver-toned lilac hair . The figure-sculpting design features a plunging sweetheart neckline with a V-cut balconette that reveals ample cleavage, plus a corseted bodice with ruching along the sides. Fox's smoky eye makeup enhances the mischievous theme, and the look is accessorized with a delicate initial choker necklace. Meanwhile, the characters posing alongside her - Vince (Tyson Ritter), Johnny (Avan Jogia), and Clyde (Ajani Russell) - wear a range of separates, including a fishnet top, ripped denim cutoffs, a hot-pink turtleneck, and an oversize blazer. In a second teaser image , Fox appear...

Jennifer Lopez is exhibiting her signature bohemian style while on her second honeymoon in Lake Como, Italy, with Ben Affleck following their Georgia wedding . The 53-year-old singer, who wore three intricate Ralph Lauren gowns for her nuptials , turned to Jonathan Simkhai to outfit one of her many vacation looks. She stepped out on Aug. 28 in a cream-colored, crochet swimsuit cover-up, worn to dine outdoors at Villa Passalacqua with Affleck. Lopez styled the maxi with an ivory embellished Western hat, bejeweled Gucci platform espadrilles , and an embroidered tote from Christian Louboutin. She piled on the accessories, choosing tinted aviators, stud earrings, and layered pendant necklaces. Lopez's dress, called the Zariah, comes with bell-shaped sleeves and a side slit that climbs to the knee. As per usual, Affleck, 50, chose a neutral outfit that would complement his wife. The actor wore a blue striped button-down shirt, white chinos, low-top sneakers, and black sunglasses...

Megan Thee Stallion has showcased quite an impressive lineup of catsuits and coords since releasing her sophomore album, " Traumazine ." The 27-year-old rapper celebrated her recent accomplishments with her London Hottie party on Aug. 29, for which she chose yet another seamless shaping jumpsuit with meticulously placed cutouts from Sinead Gorey , a South East London-founded brand that caters to the rave aesthetic and has also been spotted on the likes of Miley Cyrus , Cardi B , Latto , and Bia .

At the 2022 MTV VMAs on Aug. 28, a notable number of celebrities matched their looks to the black carpet. Lizzo in black Jean Paul Gaultier. Lil Nas X in black Harris Reed. Ashley Graham in black Houghton by Katharine Polk. The color had a dominating presence as stars embraced a dark palette in a series of edgy, fashion-forward, and elegant ensembles. Among the best dressed guests, Lizzo arguably took first place. The " About Damn Time " singer floated down the carpet in a voluminous silk taffeta masterpiece designed by Glenn Martens for Jean Paul Gaultier. The 34-year-old star recommitted to the theme later in the evening, taking the stage to accept the video for good award in another black ensemble by the designer. She donned a corset gown with sheer detailing along the front, sleeves, and skirt. Meanwhile, Lil Nas X also received the black memo, making a boundary-pushing appearance in an intricate Harris Reed creation. He forewent a shirt in favor of a high-waist fea...

Kim Kardashian 's latest appearance doubled down on her alien-Barbie style chapter. On Saturday, Aug. 27, the reality star attended a fundraiser hosted by This Is About Humanity , an organization cofounded by her friend Zoe Winkler Reinis , dedicated to raising awareness about separated and reunified families and children at the border. Kardashian made a minimalist entrance in a gray turtleneck maxi dress by Balenciaga. The ankle-length design boasted a semisheer front that exposed her bra, while the high-waist skirt was rendered in an opaque shade. Kardashian took things up a notch with her go-to shield sunglasses : a pair of chrome frames with black lenses. Consistent with the Barbie look, her platinum-blond hair cascaded past her lower back, and she forewent jewelry. While she added a black leather clutch, the Skims founder introduced some color with her footwear: a pair of neon-green boots. Her styling mix brings to mind the silver ensemble she wore to Kendall Jenner's...

Conan Gray served ethereal main-character energy for his first in-person appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards on Aug. 28. The "Yours" singer arrived to the award show wearing a romantic black-and-white ensemble paired with perhaps his most daring platform shoes yet. Plucked from Harris Reed's spring 2022 collection, Gray's outfit consisted of a white blazer-style top with a sheer, lace-trimmed train that his team held up as he floated down the black carpet . The set also included black high-waisted pants with an extreme flare. Peeking out from underneath Gray's wide-leg trousers were the real stars of the show: a pair of silver lurex boots featuring staggering eight-inch heels and 5.5-inch platforms that would make anyone's ankles quiver from just looking at them. Thanks to the 11 buckles strapping all the way up his lower leg, Gray made walking in them look like a breeze. The embellished shoes first popped up on Marc Jacobs's runway back in spring ...

I live for a new outfit - the thrill of taking a purchase out for a spin will never be lost on me. That being said, having the habits of a big-time shopper also comes with a big-time price tag. So, when the opportunity came to test out the Rent the Runway monthly membership ($94 and up) for three months, I was instantly excited. Depending on your budget and the plan you choose, you can rent anywhere from four to 16 items per month - the service ships them to you for free, you enjoy them for a couple weeks to a month, and then you ship them back (once again, for free). The membership includes cleaning and rental coverage, so if you have a small spill here and there, it's no biggie. Once you're finished, you repeat the process over again. I tried the plan that allows me to rent eight pieces per month. For me, I found the process to be intuitive and easy. I didn't run into any problems during an entire summer of trying the service out. If you really love something you ren...

Taylor Swift loves a theme. After winning video of the year at the 2022 MTV VMAs, the artist casually confirmed her next album, "Midnights," was coming soon on Oct. 21. Backstage at the award show, Swift swapped her striking Oscar de la Renta naked dress for a midnight blue silk romper from Moschino for the Republic Records afterparty on Sunday evening. Featuring sequin star embellishments and a sweetheart bust lined with crystals, the singer's celestial look was appropriate considering "Midnights" will include "the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout [Swift's] life," according to her album artwork, which also shows Swift wearing vibrant blue eye makeup. She paired the starry playsuit with sparkly platform heels, diamond earrings, and white faux fur draped over her arms. Her floating crystal liner and signature red lip from the award show stayed with her through the afterparty. Swift made a surprise appearance at the VMAs ...

After a week of sharing swimsuit style moments , Simone Biles rounded out her vacation in Turks and Caicos with another bikini photo . On Sunday, Aug. 28, the gymnast shared a snap of her and her friend Ali Tyler posing on a boat.

Biles paired hers with white rubber slide sandals (embellished with seashells), a dainty chain necklace, small silver hoops, and dark-brown sunglasses. Meanwhile, Tyler went barefoot and accessorized with a charm bracelet and dark frames. The two friends have been enjoying their time on the Caribbean island, sharing glimpses of their adventures while serving up plenty of vacation looks.

Some people sneak their own candy and popcorn into the movie theater. Chloe Fineman wears her snacks on her sleeve. On Sunday, the hilarious "Saturday Night Live" star arrived at the 2022 MTV VMAs in a dress lined with gumballs, lentils, rock candy, M&M's, and licorice - not a bad snack haul for a three-hour award show. Designed by fashion label threeASFOUR and Instacart as part of the brand's "The World is Your Cart" campaign, Fineman's floor-length dress featured a futuristic design composed of holographic vinyl, holographic PU, silver nylon, metallic organza, organdy, duchess satin, and polyfil - inspired by snack packaging - and embellished with edible decor.
