Sofia Richie Wows in a Tiny Floral Bikini on Her Honeymoon With Elliot Grainge

Sofia Richie is a bona-fide style star following her luxurious wedding to music executive Elliot Grainge in the South of France on April 22. Although she's only 24 years old, the youngest daughter of music legend Lionel Richie is establishing herself as a fashion darling, producing sophisticated looks that consistently captivate our attention. Leading up to her nuptials at Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc, Richie gave off quiet luxury vibes with her outfits and minimal makeup , all thanks to stylist Liat Baruch .

100+ Met Gala Looks That Famously Made Headlines

There is quite possibly no bigger (or more extravagant) fashion event than the Met Gala . Each year, the best and brightest of the industry come together to celebrate the museum's new exhibit (it's even referred to as the Oscars of the East Coast), and celebrities, models, and designers bring their sartorial A games to the corresponding red carpet . This year's official theme is "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty," a tribute to the prolific designer who passed away in 2019, and harnessed many muses for Chanel , Fendi, Balmain, Chloé, and Patou. The exhibit itself will feature 150 different looks, alongside original sketches from Lagerfeld's archives. Co-chairs include Dua Lipa, Michaela Coel, Penélope Cruz, Roger Federer, and Anna Wintour, and we expect to see plenty of re-interpretations of Lagerfeld's own wardrobe, as well as homages to Chanel's signature DNA with lots of tweed, pastels, and quality tailoring in abundance. While we wait to see wha...

21 Swimsuit Poses to Try, Whether at the Beach or Poolside

Mastering the art of the perfect beach pose that highlights your tropical vacation destination while showing off all the exciting design details of your swimsuit isn't exactly an easy task. Whether you're wearing one of your favorite go-to swimsuits or showing off a new purchase, it's nice to have a few images to reference for inspiration. And while models seem to effortlessly stand in front of the camera and get the shot, it's not always organic for the rest of us. So we asked a few fashion-industry insiders, many of whom have perfected poses through the years, using Instagram to document their looks, for their tips on best capturing our getaway pics. For NYC-based model Sarah Kim , posing starts with getting to know herself: "As someone who has body dysmorphia, I have to make a conscious effort every day to get to know my body, because I believe that to feel confident, especially in swimwear, I have to become physically, emotionally, and spiritually joined as...

7 Interview Outfits Perfect For Any Office Dress Code

Testing the fashion waters when planning the perfect job interview outfit can be a bit tricky, but rather than panic, pull apart your closet, and splurge on a brand-new ensemble, there's a quick fix: simple style inspiration pulled from the feeds of influencers , editors, and the like. Whether you are seeking something creative or are a corporate-world hopeful, we've rounded up a few ideas ahead, helping you nail the distinct aesthetic - from conservative to slightly trendy - that comes with each industry. While teachers may want to opt for something demure (think: pussy-bow blouses, knee-length or midi dresses , loafers, and prints that are easy on the eye, but still show a hint of personality), a fashion, beauty, or pop culture journalist can feel a bit more lax approaching a media atmosphere that may even welcome jeans. If your interview falls in the spring or summer, don't be afraid to show a hint of skin in a well-tailored sleeveless vest or an airy skirt - especial...

Blake Lively's Leather Dress Plunges All the Way Down to Her Stomach

Blake Lively is back on the red carpet for the first time since welcoming her fourth child with Ryan Reynolds in February. On April 27, the actor joined a slew of stylish guests to celebrate the reopening of the Tiffany & Co. flagship store in New York City. The mom of four wore a chic, belted brown leather dress from Brandon Maxwell's pre-fall 2022 collection, featuring a plunging neckline that dipped down to her stomach and a high slit up the middle. She accessorized with matching chocolate brown sandals with a buckle detail, as well as an assortment of Tiffany & Co. jewelry, including gold chain-link bracelets and a wrapped snake necklace. She completed the edgier ensemble with voluminous disco curls and a bronze smoky eye. It's safe to assume Lively, who famously has never had a stylist, curated the gorgeous evening look herself. Aside from Lively's sleek number, various celebrities showed off their experimental style at the star-studded event. Other stand...

How to Get Deodorant Stains Off Clothes

Summer is upon us, which means longer days and scorching temperatures. From a wardrobe perspective, it's finally time to break out the denim shorts, platform sandals , bright colors , new swimsuits , and all of the most stylish fashion essentials for the long-awaited warm weather. Unfortunately, summer also means sweat, which calls for more protection from your antiperspirant. And while it comes in handy, it can soil your garments, leaving you wondering how to get rid of deodorant stains. To be sure, we must thank the scent gods above for the existence of deodorant. As someone who sweats excessively, the summer humidity only heightens my need for such beauty finds. (If this happens to you, too, please know that you are not alone and I am right alongside you - and I'd offer to hold your hand, but mine's sweaty.) So, needless to say, I've experienced the dilemma of how to get deodorant stains off of clothes more than most. Whether you're trying to get stains out of...

Pamela Anderson has officially declared it a "Baywatch" summer.

The collection, which will be available online starting May 4, re-created some of her most iconic swimwear looks, taking inspiration from her former "Baywatch" role. The line features 22 pieces total, including a modern version of the red one-piece she wore on the show as lifeguard C.J. Parker.

According to the brand, the swimsuits are an expression of the actor's personality, with "soft fabrics and fun prints that reflect her love of nature, animals, and romance." Styled by ...

Doja Cat's Thong-Baring Dress Is as Sheer as It Gets

Doja Cat isn't afraid to bare it all. At the Time100 Gala in New York City on April 26, the singer arrived in a lavender Valentino gown with delicate ruffled tiers and a completely sheer top panel. To highlight the see-through nature of the dress, Doja went completely braless , wearing only skin-tone pasties and a black thong underneath. Styled by Brett Alan Nelson , she accessorized with a Messika diamond necklace and matching chandelier earrings and slipped on tall red opera gloves and black platform heels for added contrast. Later on during the event, she changed into an outfit made entirely of repurposed Sketchers sneakers before performing on stage. This is one of Doja's first major appearances since she got liposuction and a breast reduction in March. She shared a few details about her surgery and ongoing recovery on Twitter at the time, saying she expected to be fully healed in about three months. Luckily, she told fans she's "healing really fast," and ...

Florence Pugh Ditches Pants For Valentino's New Rockstud Campaign

Florence Pugh's fashion domination continues as she is the newest star to officially join the Valentino family. The "Don't Worry Darling" actor was revealed as the face of the Italian fashion house on April 26 as she showcases the iconic Valentino Rockstud bags and shoes in a series of gorgeous images shot by fashion photographer Steven Meisel. In the photos, Pugh can be seen expressing a range of emotions, from shock to joy, while holding the Rockstud bag in a range of colorways, including Barbiecore-pink and metallic silver. And she wasn't about to let clothes distract from the accessories at hand. For the six campaign images, styled by Joe McKenna, Pugh can be seen rocking the pants-less trend in plunging bodysuits and studded heels, as well as off-the-shoulder dresses and printed co-ords. Pugh's glam squad followed the theme with looks that complemented her informal outfits. Pat McGrath was responsible for her makeup, which features her signature e...

How to Find the Right Bra For Your Favorite Summer Tops

With summer fashion trends ranging from sheer, naked looks to cutout minidresses , there are plenty of options for choosing the right bra style as your foundation. It all depends on whether or not you want your undergarments to show - how you implement them for coverage you're comfortable with is entirely up to you. If going braless is simply not your thing, you're probably knowledgable about plenty of brands that offer multi-strap, highly structured options, so you can get the support you need without distracting from your outfit. Victoria's Secret Chief Design Officer Janie Schaffer weighed in on how to determine the right bra based on the top or dress silhouette you're wearing. While recommending picks directly from VS, Schaffer also specified details you should look for to best complement your look, from barely noticeable plastic straps to U-shaped plunges and even decorative embellishments, should you want to reveal a hint of your bra underneath a see-through s...

Jessica Simpson Wears the Same Thongkini Hailey Bieber Was Spotted in - Shop It Here

Jessica Simpson is ready for swimsuit season . On April 25, the 42-year-old singer shared a mirror selfie of her posing in a neon beach outfit, featuring a lime-green Skims set worn by Hailey Bieber just two months prior. Simpson styled the triangle bikini top and matching thong-style bottoms with a sarong in the same bright hue, as well as bright-pink platforms from her eponymous fashion label. "SKIMS Swim + @Jessicasimpsonstyle Shoes = Neon Energy," she captioned the photo on Instagram. Amid her alleged feud with Selena Gomez , Bieber was spotted in the same swimwear in February while vacationing in Cabo. The Rhode founder wore a slightly different three-piece set from Skims, opting for boy shorts instead of Simpson's long sarong. Bieber further accessorized with a red New York Yankees baseball cap and gold hoop earrings from Jennifer Fisher. Kim and Khloé Kardashian have also shown off the same triangle-style bikini from the brand in different colors. Simpson has...

Zendaya Means Business in a Completely Backless Vest and Pointed Stilettos

Zendaya is redefining business casual one press tour at a time. After recently being named a Louis Vuitton ambassador , the actor attended CinemaCon in a sharp outfit by the brand. While promoting her upcoming movie "Dune: Part II" at the event in Las Vegas on April 25, Zendaya posed for the cameras in a structured vest and tailored pants that made her look like chief fashion officer of the red carpet. Stepping away from traditional business attire, Zendaya's outfit consisted of a completely backless vest from Louis Vuitton's fall 2023 ready-to-wear collection. The plunging top featured a high-collared neck, a three-button closure down the front, and strips of plaid fabric on either side of her waist to create the illusion of a shirt beneath the piece. Along the waist, the vest also featured belt loops on either side. To hold the top in place, Zendaya slipped her black belt through the loops, effectively connecting the vest to her pants. Maintaining her laid-bac...

Sydney Sweeney's Silky Pink Jumpsuit Is Straight Out of a Rom-Com

Sydney Sweeney's latest red carpet outfit is so sweet, it belongs in a romantic comedy. On April 24, the 25-year-old actor attended CinemaCon 2023 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, wearing a strapless pink jumpsuit with a structured bustier top and flowy pants. The romantic Barbiecore look featured pockets and was made of an iridescent material that caught the light beautifully as she posed with her "Anyone But You" costar, Glen Powell . Sweeney accessorized with matching pointed-toe pumps and gold hoop earrings. With its form-fitting bodice and silky fabric, Sweeney's outfit perfectly encapsulates her bombshell sense of style. This year alone, the " Euphoria " star has worn everything from the pants-less trend to a leather bustier minidress by Alexander McQueen. At the Berlin International Film Festival in February, Sweeney wore what she called the "dress of my dreams" - a red Miu Miu gown covered in crystals - and later that same day, an embel...

Meghan Markle's Courtside Blazer Set Reminds Us of Her Pre-Royal Style

Meghan Markle revisited her pre-royal fashion staples while attending a Los Angeles Lakers game with Prince Harry on April 24. The Duchess of Sussex wore a pink linen Staud set consisting of an oversize blazer and matching high-waisted shorts. She layered a simple white top under the blazer and opted for nude leather pumps by Aquazzura, one of her go-to shoe brands . The spring-ready outfit gave us instant flashbacks to Markle's style before she tied the knot with Prince Harry in 2018, when she often stepped out in co-ord sets and heels. Though Markle's pastel Staud suit appears to be a new wardrobe addition, the mother of two accessorized with pieces she's worn plenty in the past , including a beige leather Prada clutch and the gold Cartier watch rumored to have previously belonged to Princess Diana. She finished the look with several stacked bracelets, a pinky ring, and earrings. Harry, meanwhile, looked equally as casual in a navy blazer, white t-shirt, dark-wash je...

Kim Kardashian and North West had a stylish mother-daughter date at Daily Front Row's Fashion Los Angeles Awards on April 23. The pair hit the red carpet in coordinating looks that confirmed their family's penchant for all things neutral. Kardashian wore a gray Rick Owens skirt and matching bandeau top, while her daughter suited up in a black tailored blazer and flared pants that zipped up the sides. They put their contrasting personal styles on display while selecting accessories for the evening. Kardashian completed her minimal two-piece set with a vintage Dior molded-neck choker, a Rick Owens bracelet, two thick silver cuffs, and sparkly René Caovilla sandals that wrapped up her calves. West, on the other hand, leaned into her edgy side by opting for chunky platform shoes, a diamond choker, and a cross necklace. She also wore futuristic sunglasses at certain points throughout the night and pulled her hair into a sleek ponytail with a dramatic side part, giving us flashb...

I Found the Perfect Cooling Summer Dress, and It's $18 at Old Navy

A couple of summers ago, I bought the softest shirred cotton dress that I had to stop myself from wearing every day. It was thick and textured but also incredibly light and breathable. The weave reminded me of a temperature-regulating muslin blanket , a dreamy fabric that felt cozy to the touch without making me overheat. This year, I've committed to finding a similar option to throw into the rotation. Since my go-to uniform for the last couple of summers has been was a white midi dress , I wanted something short and colorful to mix it up. I'm happy to report that I've found a new summer dress that checks all of my boxes: Old Navy's Waist-Defined Puff-Sleeve Printed Mini Shirt Dress ($18, originally $40). What I Love About Old Navy's Waist-Defined Puff-Sleeve Printed Mini Shirt Dress Just like the first dress I fell in love with, this Old Navy dress feels like I'm wearing a soft, light-weave blanket. It has a loose fit, elbow-length puff sleeves, and a band...

How These Sisters Are Making South Asian-Inspired Clothing Accessible in the US

Fashion is synonymous with self-expression, and Niki and Ritika Shamdasani created an entire clothing brand out of their need to feel seen in the fashion industry. When a search for outfits to wear to an Indian wedding left them empty-handed, the sisters set to work creating their own fashion brand tailored to their personal styles. Sani , an abbreviated version of their last name, is a formalwear brand inspired by their South Asian culture. From the age-old dilemma "I have nothing to wear," the sisters created a sustainable clothing company that blends culture and community. "What we found on TikTok was not just an Indian American community. It was a community interested in the culture as whole." "We didn't have a huge community of Indian Americans or South Asian Americans," Niki tells POPSUGAR of being born and raised in Fayetteville, NC, after their parents emigrated from India. Growing up in their small, predominately white hometown, the Sha...

Teyana Taylor Showcases Her Tattoos and Abs in a Sheer, High-Slit Corset Dress

Teyana Taylor looked like red carpet royalty at Daily Front Row's seventh annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards on April 23. The "A Thousand and One" actor wore a black Mônot gown to the star-studded event, which celebrates notable stylists, designers, and hair and makeup artists. Taylor's strapless dress featured a leg slit that extended all the way up to her hip, a sheer-paneled corset-style bodice that put her abs and tattoos on display, and a lengthy train that flowed behind her. She styled the gown with a diamond tennis necklace, leather opera gloves, sparkly black heels, a silver lip ring, diamond stud earrings, and Chanel sunglasses attached to a beaded strap. During the ceremony, Taylor took the stage to present Mônot founder Eli Mizrahi with the emerging brand of the year award - quite the fitting honor considering how many celebrities have worn his daring designs lately. In her speech, she noted how "f*cking hot" Mônot dresses make her feel before...

Why Old Navy Shoppers Are Obsessed With These $35 Thong Heels

Last year, I purchased my first pair of thong heels. I was initially unsure about them, torn about whether I loved the minimalist design or despised them. (It's only natural I felt uncertain; they were popular in the ever-contentious '90s and early aughts , after all.) But given that I wore them so frequently that they ultimately fell apart, I'm clearly a passionate fan of the trend. If you're unfamiliar with the style, it's essentially a souped-up version of a flip-flop and not to be confused with the currently trending and equally controversial thong boot . But back to thong-heeled mules. What's great about them is the strap-free design goes with everything, and they're so easy to slip on that you'll find yourself doing so on repeat. Likewise, my former pair made my feet hurt, and let's face it: comfortable shoes are hard to come by. So you can guess how excited I was to scroll past the Old Navy Faux-Leather Kitten-Heel Thong Mule Sandals ($20...

How BIPOC Influencers Are Reclaiming Sustainable Fashion, in Their Own Words

Rosie Okotcha, Andrea Cheong, and Aditi Mayer. Image Sources: Laura Notlo; Alise Jane; courtesy of Aditi Mayer. It's likely that buzzwords like "overconsumption" and "de-influencing" are popping up on your TikTok FYP. But even as the sustainable-fashion movement continues to grow, it still often leaves behind certain demographics. Often, white people are the face of the slow- and sustainable-fashion industry, but they can miss the mark when it comes to criticizing an industry that has disproportionately affected communities of color. By building community with each other to call out the racist, classist, and sexist practices within the sustainable-fashion industry, BIPOC influencers have provided their audiences with their own ideas for lowering their carbon footprint and resisting fast fashion. For these content creators, their work ranges from exploring the intersections of race and sustainability to bringing greater awareness to worker exploitation and f...
