Sydney Sweeney Braves the Cold in a Completely Pants-Less Look

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sydney Sweeney (@sydney_sweeney) No pants, no problem. While working in Berlin, Sydney Sweeney tried her hand at the polarizing no-pants trend , teasing the look on Instagram in a tan Miu Miu trench coat. She captioned the Feb. 28 post with a single monkey emoji, sitting on an open windowsill and strategically placing her black leather bag to keep herself covered. She and her stylist, Molly Dickson , added other chic accessories to complete the ultra-minimalistic look, including heeled combat boots, white crew socks, and delicate tinted sunglasses. As daring as the no-pants trend is on its own, Sweeney's version seemed even bolder when you consider that the temperatures in Berlin still regularly dip below freezing. Other celebrities have tried the trend with some kind of covering, such as " Stranger Things " star Maya Hawke, who wore sheer black tights as her only bottoms to Mil...

Lori Harvey's See-Through Look Is a Fresh Spin on the Naked-Dress Trend

Lori Harvey attended the Tory Burch Fall 2023 show during New York Fashion Week wearing a sheer look that totally stunned. She donned a see-through, long-sleeve top that was carefully tucked into a navy mini-skirt. The bottom portion boasted a midi-length sheer lining that flowed out from underneath. Around her waist was a tiny hanging belt bag, with a second handbag in her left hand. Her look was accessorized with bright blue pumps as well as a pair of hanging statement earrings. Harvey attended the Tory Burch show in the designer's wears, perfectly mastering Burch's tailored-with-a-twist vibe, which the designer's embraced since the brand's inception. Though at its core, the look is quite classic and sophisticated, the visible bra and sheer skirt make it just that tiny bit edgier than the rest. Tory Burch's latest collection followed the same rules: conservative essentials with a touch of a cool-girl pop. There were velvet trousers made of bright blue, pops of...

Chlöe's Backless Gown Features Chest, Underarm, and Ab Cutouts

Chlöe sported a formfitting cutout dress by Dion Lee at the "Creed III" premiere in Los Angeles on Feb. 27. Sultry and sophisticated, the floor-length evening gown commanded attention as the " Pray It Away " singer floated down the red carpet. The slinky, body-conscious design extended into a slightly flared hem that pooled at the star's feet, keeping her heels hidden from view. Between both full-length sleeves, the bodice was replete with two symmetrical cutouts on either side of the bust, as well as mirroring cutouts under the arms. Finally, the fabric split into two oblong cutouts on either side of the waist. Chlöe styled the ensemble with chunky statement rings, oversize hoop earrings, and silver rings woven through the braids of her curly high ponytail. "Let's give it up for the front of the dress," she captioned a photo of herself posing on the sidewalk on Instagram the following day. In a separate post, the 24-year-old singer spun in fro...

Ciara's 26 Best Swimsuits to Date, From Thongkinis to Cutout Maillots

Ciara 's bathing suits runs the gamut, from trendy styles to basic, plunging one-pieces that would be available on any standard swimwear site. But the 37-year-old musician and mom of three certainly has a way about presenting her vacation looks, applying each one to a specific theme such as self-love, joy, or adventure. Many of the star's beach-ready ensembles come fully accessorized, whether with jewelry, reflective glasses, or a stack of bangles. And she works every angle to show off a suit's details, including lace-up sides, a stomach cutout, low-dipped back, or contrasting waistband. More often than not, Ciara's swim shoot photographer is husband Russell Wilson . The beloved celebrity couple got married back in July 2016, with Ciara walking down the aisle in a decidedly bohemian look - a lace Roberto Cavalli wedding gown with bell sleeves. Coincidentally, the bridal design featured a strappy neckline and rope-like bow, which are two elements she's worked he...

Rita Ora's Viral Micro Miniskirt Features an Optical Illusion Waistband

Rita Ora enjoyed a studio day working on her album - and did so in grand style. The 32-year-old singer, who is ushering in a new era of music with her single "You Only Love Me," got her hands on a fresh-off-the-runway Vivienne Tam outfit for the occasion. The Fall 2023 design debuted at New York Fashion Week on Feb. 12, so Ora is embracing the look fresh off the runway. The newly-married star, who works with stylist Tom Eerebout , posed for multiple angles in Tam's colorful ensemble. The micro miniskirt boasts a waistband that gives the optical illusion of multiple layered pieces when in fact it's just one garment. She styled the pièce de résistance with a cropped Solidarity sweater, a puffy quilted NFT bag, and several patches - all an ode to Tam's futuristic take on the Metaverse . Ora's long blond curls emerged from under her sherpa bucket hat and knit balaclava cap, and she sported a glossy, caramel-lined lip, and plenty of mascara. Her deep red mani...

Maddie Ziegler's Plunging Look Is Almost Completely Unbuttoned

One of the highlights of New York Fashion Week was no doubt the Proenza Schouler show in downtown Manhattan. And, while the show was opened by fashion veteran Chloë Sevigny , it was Maggie Ziegler who was turning heads outside. Arriving at the show in a matching cream-toned knit look from the designer, Ziegler looked more elegant than ever. Photographer and videographer, Michael Stewart, captured her epic entrance on video, posting the paparazzi-mobbed scene on Instagram . Maddie's elongated cardigan boasts a collar and buttons that reach from neck to her low hips, though she only fastened one at the bustline. Below was a matching midi skirt that also buttons all the way up the front, boasting an unbuttoned slit that reaches up to miniskirt height. She styled the look with heeled ankle booties and a black cross-body bag, hair pulled back in a tight bun that's reminiscent of her "Dance Mom" days. The Proenza Schouler Fall 2023 collection itself was full of both su...

Emily Blunt's Sheer Slit Dress Creates the Ultimate Optical Illusion at the SAG Awards

Emily Blunt delivered a unique take on the sheer dress trend during date night with John Krasinski at the 2023 SAG Awards. Between exchanging looks of adoration with her husband , the " A Quiet Place Part II " star floated down the red carpet in a sheer slit dress by Oscar de la Renta. Her stylist, Jessica Paster , paired the ensemble with a cherry-red clutch and jewelry in tones of ruby and silver. Blunt's strappy mermaid gown featured a horizontal accordion pattern composed of red fabric strips. Each segment was arranged by width, with thinner strips encircling her waist and expanding in size as they descended to the floor. Between each segment, sheer panels created the illusion of a singular ribbon wrapped around her entire body. In a video shared on Instagram by hairstylist Laini Reeves , Blunt and Krasinski made a humorous exit from the hair and makeup room. As Blunt turned to leave, she did a full-body spin, sharing a glimpse at the centered knee-high slit at...

Michael B. Jordan Proves He's Still the Sexiest Man Alive in New Calvin Klein Campaign

We'll keep it brief: on Feb. 27, Michael B. Jordan re-established his title as sexiest man alive , debuting his first-ever partnership with Calvin Klein. The "Creed III" star and director modeled underwear in a series of black-and-white photos for the rollout of the brand's spring campaign, which will launch in full on March 15. According to a press release, the shoot was designed to highlight Jordan's confidence, discipline, and physical intensity . . . and the photos definitely delivered. In every frame, Jordan wore new Athletic and Modern Cotton Performance underwear with the Calvin Klein logo emblazoned on the waistband. In some scenes, he worked with accessories, pulling off a pair of jeans or fighting a white tank top off his chest. But in others, he posed with nothing but the briefs, staring at the camera head-on and stretching all the way out on his side. This may be his first Calvin Klein campaign, but Jordan is certainly no stranger to fashion. His re...

J Lo's Plunging Thong Bodysuit Is the Best Take on the No-Pants Trend

Jennifer Lopez is promoting her beauty line, JLo Beauty , wearing a simple and chic black bodysuit in a new campaign post that emerged on the brand's feed on Jan. 15 and again on Feb. 26. The look, which ensured that her flawless skin was on full display, boasts an '80s "Flashdance"-era silhouette, completed with a thong bottom, super-high leg cut above the hip, and plunging neckline that bared a hint of cleavage. Her hair and makeup were natural, aiding to the advertisement of her skin-care range, which is more about the health of your body and skin than the makeup added to your routine. Fun fact? Lopez wore the actual "Flashdance" bodysuit in her "I'm Glad" music video back in 2003, so pulling off this aesthetic (also reflected in the Norma Kamali look she rocked in June) is certainly in her blood. This particular JLo Beauty promotional image debuted at the brand's one-year anniversary, having originally launched on New Year's...

Everything to Know About Bra Sister Sizes

For me, shopping for a new bra and underwear is, admittedly, a bit of a rarity. Once I find a bra that is comfortable and functional, I use it for years on end. While the main reason behind my infrequent bra shopping sprees is the fact that I only need a couple versatile bras to get the job done, another factor is finding the perfect bra size and bra sister size. It can be tricky to find the right lingerie size when you have to take band width, cup size, and breast size all into account. Additionally, our bodies fluctuate so often, and different brands have different sizing charts and definitions. All in all, it can just make the task seem more complicated than it's worth. But if you can believe it, bra sister size charts help make the fit process a little bit easier. Unlike the traditional bra sizes that you may be familiar with, like 28C or 42A, sister sizes take into account volume. Basically, they are sizing groups, equivalent to bra sizes, that are based on cup volume. And...

Zendaya Wore a Chest-Cutout Dress and a Corset Gown at the SAG Awards

Zendaya certainly stuck to a color palette for her appearance at the 2023 SAG Awards on Sunday, Feb. 26. The LA-based ceremony kicked off with a thrilling red carpet , where she debuted a custom silk duchess pink bustier dress from Valentino. The design was custom made for her by creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli and styled by Law Roach . The mermaid silhouette was covered with 190 silk faille rosettes - right on-trend with the season, as we're seeing the decal being appliquéd on everything from ready-to-wear skirts to evening gowns. Zendaya showed off her talent for striking a pose upon arrival, placing her hands on her hips to draw attention to her Bulgari bracelet and rings. She also wore diamond studs and a yellow-gold necklace, replete with tanzanite, morganite, and aquamarine stones. Later on in the evening, she changed into an Armani Privé strapless slip in the same color palette, though it was lined with a black sequined trim. It boasted '60s art deco referenc...

Ashley Park Walks the SAG Awards Red Carpet in an Embellished Ankle Brace

Ashley Park left no style opportunity untouched at the SAG Awards . On Feb. 26, the " Emily in Paris " star walked the red carpet in an embellished cape gown from Elie Saab's spring 2022 couture collection and an embellished ankle brace. The brace, attached to her left leg, featured gleaming rows of metallic studs held in place by gray straps on either side of her ankle. Not one to skimp on accessories, even as she's healing, she paired the outfit with peep-toe platforms in gold. The ivory cape dress featured a sheer chest-to-thigh cutout adorned with clusters of rhinestones and crystals. Park styled the bejeweled piece with silver hoop earrings and stacked diamond rings. The actor sustained her ankle injury at Beyoncé's Dubai concert in January, presumably from tripping in her heels during the performance. "Before, during, after finally watching QUEEN BEYONCÉ live front row," Park captioned photos of herself on Instagram after the show on Jan. 22. ...

Meghann Fahy's White SAG Awards Dress Comes With Quite the Side Cutout

Meghann Fahy wore a fitting color while celebrating " The White Lotus " at the 2023 SAG Awards . The actor, who portrayed Daphne Sullivan in the recent second season, attended the award show on Feb. 26 in Los Angeles wearing a white Ralph Lauren dress with a back-baring cutout and sleek column silhouette. Pulled from the brand's spring 2023 collection, Fahy's dress notably has a cutout at the waist leading into an open back. As sleek and simple as it is, the slinky number also boasts a one-shoulder neckline and appears to feature white sequin beading all over. It should come as no surprise that Fahy kept her accessories minimal too, forgoing a clutch and instead spotlighting her diamond drop earrings and a few rings on each hand. Fahy was nominated with her cast for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series. She posed on the red carpet with her costars, namely her onscreen husband Theo James, wearing a navy suit, and Leo Woodall, who was in a Fendi ...

The 2023 SAG Awards red carpet kicks off from Fairmont Century Plaza in LA on Sunday, Feb. 26, following a star-packed evening one night prior at the NAACP Image Awards . Renowned Hollywood fashion icons such as Zendaya , Jenna Ortega, Quinta Brunson, and Ariana DeBose are all attendees, with " The White Lotus "'s Haley Lu Richardson serving as ambassador for the event alongside Antonia Gentry.

"Abbott Elementar...

J Lo Brought Back a Controversial 2000s Trend With Joggers Ripped to Shreds

Jennifer Lopez is almost considered synonymous with attention-grabbing red carpet style, having worn a Versace gown that sparked the very creation of Google Images. Her date-night looks are equally internet-breaking, from high-slit gowns to cutout bra tops . And then there's her wedding dresses , worn on film and in real life, including several breathtaking dresses she wore to marry Ben Affleck . But believe it or not, away from the red carpet and the glamour of date night, J Lo's workout style is notable as well. The " Shotgun Wedding " actress is often photographed headed to dance class in the best looks on the activewear market. Lopez is well-known for her workout style, spotted on the regular wearing a number of leggings and jogger looks, always with an oversized designer purse as her "gym bag." She's worn croc-embossed leggings that resemble a Birkin bag. She pulled off a divisive flared-leggings trend with fervor. And she turned heads in a s...

Janelle Monáe Proves Red Is Her Color With a Daring Side-Cutout Gown

Janelle Monáe arrived to the NAACP Image Awards in a fiery red gown that showed a new side to her style. The sultry satin dress featured an asymmetrical side cutout and dramatic leg slit that reached all the way up her thigh. Delicate straps and ruching along the waist provided the final details for this unexpectedly colorful look. Diverting even further from their historically muted aesthetic, the singer and actor accessorized with red ankle-strap heels, a diamond ear cuff, and a diamond ring. They kept their bangs neatly side-swept and added a glossy red ombré lip that perfectly matched their gown. Monáe has gravitated toward bold style trends before, but never in this color palette. Previously, she wore feathered cutout couture to a premiere, and later, a completely sheer black gown with hip cutouts to the Critics' Choice Awards. It was a big night for Monáe, whose work in "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery" earned her a nomination for outstanding supporting actr...

Zendaya's Plunging Green Bustier Gown Marks Her Return to the Limelight

Did you miss her? After much anticipation, Zendaya finally arrived at the NAACP Image Awards on Feb. 25, and her plunging Versace Couture dress was well worth the wait. The " Euphoria " star truly outdid herself in a breathtaking black gown with a bright green bustier top. The look - styled by her fashion partner in crime , Law Roach, was lined with lime-colored stripes and featured a voluminous train and daring leg slit straight down the middle. Zendaya styled her bob haircut with voluminous side-swept waves, closed-toe heels, and a classic black manicure. She added some sparkle with Bulgari jewelry, including a diamond bracelet, earrings, and a large diamond ring. This look is the first we've seen from Zendaya in a while following a small absence due to her busy schedule . Seeing as she's nominated for entertainer of the year at the NAACP Image Awards, she needed an outfit that measured up to the title. Through the years, Zendaya has built a reputation for he...

Cargo Pants Are Officially Back, and This Old Navy Style Is My Personal Favorite

Similar to nearly every fashion trend of the early aughts , cargo pants have made their inevitable comeback. I can't lie, up until very recently, I've been on the fence about whether or not I was really ready to embrace the style's resurgence. One mutter of "cargo pants," and my brain is instantly bombarded with flashbacks of '90s icons like Lindsay Lohan and Avril Lavigne chugging along the red carpet in a pair of camo-printed pants so dangerously low-rise, it felt criminal (and honestly, still kind of does). While they managed to pull the look off, I'm all too familiar with my own fashion limitations and have always filed cargo pants under the category of things that simply don't work for me and my lanky body type. However, a recent scroll through Old Navy's new arrivals section introduced me to these Old Navy High-Waisted Tie-Belt Cargo Ankle Pants ($50), which don't appear to have the same traditional makeup as a classic cargo style (...

Ashley Graham Decks Herself in Forks and Spoons at Milan Fashion Week

Ashley Graham was the main course at Moschino's fall 2023 runway show. While attending Milan Fashion Week on Feb. 23, the model and mom of three dished out gourmet dinner party vibes in a satin ballgown embellished with gold forks and spoons. Graham styled the dress, designed by the brand's daring creative director Jeremy Scott , with metallic gold heart earrings. "@moschino ate," she captioned photos and videos of her look on Instagram the following day. "Could not be more in love with this show or you @jeremyscott." Graham's floor-length dress took inspiration from traditional Asian silhouettes. The black satin gown featured a mandarin collar and cuffed sleeves hitting just below the bend of her elbow. The bodice was split in half by a hidden zipper, and featured gold forks and spoons in place of buttons on either side of the bust. As Graham blew kisses at the camera, the flashing lights illuminated the high-fashion cutlery from all angles. The dre...

38 of Selena Gomez's Best Fashion Moments to Date

It takes a lot of confidence to completely revamp your look, especially when you're in the public eye. Selena Gomez knows a thing or two about that. The 30-year-old songstress and Rare Beauty founder has managed to successfully define her style from the street to the red carpet, but as they say, "it takes a village." Gomez can credit much of her evolution to stylist Kate Young , who she began working with in 2015 while promoting her Revival tour. The rest of her glam squad includes makeup artist Hung Vanngo , hairstylist Marissa Marino , and manicurist Tom Bachik . While she has worked closely with Louis Vuitton's Nicolas Ghesquière and Coach's Stuart Vevers on custom looks for many an event, most notably the Met Gala, Gomez has also opted for sophisticated silhouettes from Valentino , Oscar de la Renta, Rodarte , and Armani. When she's off duty, Young sources her sleek pieces from the likes of Ganni, Victor Glemaud , Sezane, and Mango, to name a few. She...
