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 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 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.

Lizzo, Lil Nas X, and Other Stars Who Wore Black to the VMAs

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.

Kim Kardashian Styles a Gray Turtleneck Dress With Shield Sunglasses and Neon Boots

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...

Our Ankles Are Wobbly Just Looking at Conan Gray's 8-Inch Platform Boots

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 ...

After Using Rent the Runway's Monthly Membership, I Don't Shop Anywhere Else

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 Sparkles in a Mini Romper Covered in Stars at the VMAs Afterparty

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 ...
