Cardi B Brings Back the Polarizing Butt-Graphic Jeans For "Jealousy" Video

Leave it to Cardi B to nail the latest in sultry trends. The New York-born rapper is no stranger to rocking figure-flattering silhouettes, and her most recent look is no exception. For her new collaborative single " Jealousy " with husband Offset, the 30-year-old artist wore outfits that showed off her curves, toned abs, and, of course, impressive tattoo collection . Cardi B is first seen in two alluring ensembles - a nude satin robe that quickly transitions to a metallic thong bodysuit featuring a plunging neckline and lace-up hardware, completely showing off her butt tattoos. She then switches things up with a Barbiecore-inspired look while rapping in front of a vintage car. The outfit was featured in an Instagram teaser post just days before the song's release. The ensemble in question includes a pink cutout top that bares her cleavage, pink clear platform shoes to match, and the most attention-grabbing detail of all: blue high-waisted jeans with the word "jea...

A Day in the Life of Christopher Griffin, aka Plant Kween

When it comes to the term "influencer," first thoughts usually surround fashion, beauty, and lifestyle. You rarely hear of the success of other categories, but Christopher Griffin is changing that narrative. Griffin, AKA Plant Kween , is an Brooklyn-based Black, queer, non-binary influencer and the author of "You Grow, Gurl!" . She is taking over the fashion and holistic spaces, sharing her never-ending love for nature, self-care tips, and building community.

I'm Buying This $30 Rib-Knit Tank Top From Old Navy in Every Color

I'm a huge fan of rib-knit tops, and it seems like the rest of the world shares this sentiment. They're undeniably trending for 2023 and it's hard to find a retailer that doesn't offer them. Some of my favorites come from Aritzia, but I've recently been trying to expand my horizons with styles from other labels, one part for the sake of my bank account and the other: science. This quest brought me to the Old Navy new arrivals section , where I stumbled upon the Old Navy Rib-Knit Sweater Tank Top ($30, originally $35), featuring a chic square neckline and defined ribbed detailing. It's only been a few days since it landed on the site, yet it's not-so-quietly become a shopper favorite, evidenced by its near-perfect five-star rating. Intrigued by the hype, I decided to try it and added the sky-blue version, "Rock Pool," to my virtual shopping cart. Find out more about why I fell in love with it ahead.

16 Dresses to Style With Your Favorite Pair of Sneakers This Summer

A casual dress with sneakers is one of those timeless combinations that goes together like peanut butter and jelly - especially during the summertime. Not only are summer dresses and comfortable walking shoes great on their own, but they've also proven to be even better together - working in harmony to create a sporty-chic ensemble that can take you from the airport and office to post-work cocktails and beyond, all while keeping you feeling effortless and looking cool while doing it. The style versatility of pairing a dress with sneakers is truly endless. Plus, thanks to the pandemic, we've all seemed to develop an even greater affinity for more casual fashion - often opting to sport a pair of trainers on our weekly outings, rather than a steep set of heels. And let's be real: while life has returned mostly back to normal, it's still hard to give up on the cushioned comfort that's provided by a worn-in pair of flats. Fortunately, with the dress-and-sneaker comb...

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Couldn't Be Cuter Matching in Pinstripes

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are showing off their casual vacation style in Paris. The parents of four enjoyed lunch at La Poule au Jar coordinating in pinstripes and sneakers. Lively, 35, sported a white button-front shirtdress with a chic floral print, layering with a neutral-toned duster and a long navy jacket that featured oversize pockets and a relaxed collar. She complemented the tonal moment with ribbed striped sport socks and woven Nike sneakers. A pink Chanel crossbody bag made the outfit pop, but she kept the rest of her accessories minimal, flaunting everyday huggies in her ears. The " It Ends With Us " star wore her hair down in natural waves, opting for a touch of pink blush and a matte lip. Reynolds, 46, left his button-down open over a white T-shirt teamed with brown chinos, finishing his own ensemble with low-top sneakers, a row of colorful beaded bracelets, a baseball hat, and translucent frame sunglasses. The pair held hands as they navigated the stree...

Winnie Harlow's See-Through Fishnet Dress Is Giving Off Major Mermaid Vibes

Winnie Harlow is the latest celebrity to embrace the naked dress trend , but the model found a way to put her own spin on the style. In celebration of her 29th birthday, Harlow donned a see-through, beige fishnet dress featuring subtle starfish detailing. The model then took her mermaid theme a step further with nautical accessories including oversize starfish earrings, a snail-shaped clutch, and a golden shell necklace. In addition to the clear nautical theme, Harlow also made a statement with neutrals. Her beige dress included touches of coral and ivory, thanks to the starfish, while her accessories and sandals were all gold. She did mix in a touch of color with the tiny purple flowers that adorned her braided updo, but overall, her outfit made a splash while sticking to a muted but glam color palette. Even her makeup was subtle. The model opted for bronze colors paired with a shimmery touch on her eyelids. Meanwhile, her manicure was clear with touches of white-and-pearl embellis...

12 Green-Dress Halloween Costume Ideas

While Halloween is fun to celebrate, the spooky holiday does present a dilemma: picking the right outfit. One of the best ways you can conquer this feat is to base your look around a theme. If you're leaning toward a flirty look, consider choosing a sexy costume like a white corset top and green mermaid skirt to channel your inner Ariel.

Other popular green-dress costume ideas include a "Top Gun" fli...

Lizzo Creates Butt Cutouts in a G-String and Low-Rise Pants

In addition to her music career and reality show, " Watch Out For the Big Grrrls ," on Amazon Prime, Lizzo runs a shapewear line called Yitty in partnership with activewear brand Fabletics . She first teased the venture in March 2022, writing in an Instagram post , "I'm about to announce the biggest thing YET. Bigger than anything I've ever done. 3 years in the making. A Dream Come True. Stay tuned bitch." "I'm selling a mentality that 'I can do what I want with my body, wear what I want and feel good while doing it.'"

"I'm selling a mentality that 'I can do what I want with my body, wear what I want and feel good while doing ...

How to Make a DIY Mummy Costume for Halloween

Instead of purchasing an expensive Halloween costume this year, consider making your own mummy look as a last minute DIY project that doesn't call for more than a few key tools. Chanel Iman memorably wore a mummy costume at Heidi Klum's annual star-packed Halloween party , opting for a treated and dyed gauzy fabric that she wrapped creatively around her body. The supermodel incorporated the material from head to toe, weaving it through her high ponytail braid, styling it as a choker, twisting it around her arm, and even creating makeshift boots by layering it from her thighs down to the soles of her shoes. Iman added spooky makeup , including a smoky eye, washed-out lip, and darkly defined contouring, plus simple delicate hoop earrings and a white manicure for final touches. Of course, you can choose to put your own tweaks on the costume, creating your own silhouette with your chosen cut-up cloth. All you need to start are a bunch of old tees or a fresh T-shirt pack, a rul...

Megan Fox Shuts Down Critics of Her Nipple-Baring Naked Dress: "Calm Down"

Image Source: Getty / Taylor Hill / WireImage Megan Fox is making it clear that her body is no one else's business. On July 25, Fox shared photos of her completely see-through Jean Paul Gaultier dress ahead of a date night with Machine Gun Kelly . Underneath the barely-there fabric, she wore a pair of nude underwear and a set of nipple pasties. Anticipating negative comments from internet trolls, Fox used her caption - and a healthy dash of sarcasm - to nip unsolicited opinions in the bud. "We will all live another day without a rip in the space-time continuum." "before you start angrily typing- those are not my nipples, calm down," she wrote, pre-emptively addressing concerns from overly opinionated commenters. "they are safely and completely hidden under nipple covers so no worries, we will all live another day without a rip in the space-time continuum." While brief, the message of Fox's caption was clear: her body, and the way she dresses...

Eva Mendes Reacts Perfectly to Her Dress Matching Ryan Gosling's "Barbie" Poster

View this post on Instagram A post shared by E! News (@enews) Eva Mendes coordinated her outfit perfectly with a "Barbie" movie poster of her husband Ryan Gosling as Ken. The 49-year-old actress was interviewed on E! 's "Nightly Pop" following the announcement of the Greta Gerwig-directed film, though the talk show is no longer on the air. While it was very likely a coincidence that Mendes's knee-length yellow sheath dress and blazer matched the blow-up graphic, E! re-shared the clip to Instagram amidst all the Barbiecore chaos this July, captioning the snippet, "This can go in Eva and Ryan's Mojo Dojo Casa House. 😉 #Barbie." Mendes, who previously supported Gosling's role in a $25 T-shirt that paid ode to his character, did not appear on any premiere red carpets with her partner, but is clearly a fan of the undeniable "Kenergy" hype that has come from the buzzy project. Whe...

The looks, flaunted above by athletes Megan Rapinoe, who just announced her retirement , and Lynn Williams, consist of a long, double-breasted blazer with concealed buttons and matching slim-fit trousers. While it's subtle, there's a jacquard "M" woven throughout the fabric to signify the eponymous British menswear brand, which launched in London in 2007 and specializes in combining surprising textures with unique silhouettes to achieve character. Designer Rose herself has been nominated for many prestigious awards , including BFC's Menswear Designer of the Year and the LVMH prize, so it's no surprise she created such a sophisticated collection, replete with incredibly cool Nike Shox MR4 mule sneakers with a lifted heel and an ombré...
