Michelle Obama Brought the Fashion to the US Open in a Denim Midi Dress

Michelle Obama never misses (and we're not just talking tennis). On Aug. 28, the former first lady and author attended the first day of the 2023 US Open in a full denim Oscar de la Renta midi dress. She watched the game with her husband, former President Barack Obama, giving a better look at the dress's sweetheart neckline and classic black cardigan she wore on top.

The sleeveless A-line design featured medium-wash denim, a pleated skirt, and a carefully structured bodice with visible stitching. Obama accessorized with black espadrille Chloé wedges, silver hoop earrings, and a black beaded bracelet. She styled her hair in a high ponytail. After watching Coco Gauff's first round win, she delivered a speech to honor Billie Jean King and commemorate 50 years of equal prize money for female tennis players, and she looked good while doing it.

"When our rights hang in the balance, we all have a choice to make-we can't wait around for someone to fight our battles for us," Obama wrote on Instagram, posing alongside the tennis legend and equal pay advocate. "We have to make our own stand, and that's how we're going to level the court even further." Obama previously showed off her love of denim with an iconic jean jumpsuit on "The Tonight Show" in April, and again with a denim printed button-up on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" in 2021. Read on to see how she brought her signature first lady fashion (and denim of choice) to the US Open.

Diaper Shorts Are Back - How to Shop the Controversial TikTok Trend

Of all the street style trends to dominate our FYP and social media feeds in recent years, bloomer shorts seems to be the most bizarre (and ironically one of our top favorites) yet. And who do we have to thank for it? TikTok, of course. In a single scroll on the popular app, you've probably come across the piece multiple times, from those viral Miu Miu briefs to Aritzia's more affordable offerings. Slightly more flirty and risqué than the stomach pudge dress or the fisherman aesthetic , bloomer shorts (aka "diaper shorts") have officially made it to the top of the sartorial food chain. What Are Bloomer Shorts? While the idea of bloomer shorts may seem new or daunting at first, they're far from groundbreaking. Similarly to most trends, the good ol' "everything is new again" concept applies here, as the fad dates back to 1850 when the silhouette was invented as a practical solution for women's health and comfort - eventually grabbing the atten...

Does Uniqlo Heattech Really Keep You Warm? An Editor Investigates

I live in a perpetual state of being cold. Whether it's 70 degrees or below 17, you're bound to find me wrapped up in a blanket at home or venturing out with a jacket in tow. Growing up in Arizona hasn't exactly prepared me for how to navigate cooler temperatures, which is why I often rely on heavy layering during the winter months to keep myself feeling warm. In the past, this has translated into me dressing like Ralphie's younger brother from "A Christmas Story" - think chunky snowsuits, a double-wrapped wool scarf, and so many layers I'm hardly able to breathe (let alone move around). It wasn't until I was introduced to Uniqlo Heattech gear that I realized lightweight, movable thermals exist. Uniqlo's Heattech line is arguably one of the brand's most popular collections. Loved by shoppers for its wide variety of styles, the capsule boasts warm, insulated pieces that are designed to replicate the effectiveness of a thermal layer without the...

I Wore Sofía Vergara's Viral and Divisive Sneaker Heels - and Actually Sort of Loved Them

Despite what some people may think, the return of sneaker heels - largely attributed to Sara Blakely , the inventor of world-renowned Spanx, and now Sneex - happened by accident. "Our founder did not set out to create a sneaker heel. She set out to create the world's most comfortable high heel and this is where the innovation led her," a brand rep says. Not only are they supportive, they add noticeable bounce to my steps, which actually makes walking in high heels sort of . . . fun? Nevertheless, merely one year in, the company can report that The Tepper in Silver ($595) sold out in just 24 hours after launch and accrued an 11,000-person waitlist. One-third of the brand's customers have already invested in a second pair. And celebrities from Jane Fonda and Sofía Vergara to Reese Witherspoon and Suki Waterhouse have already been spotted wearing them. "The Sneex customer is responding to sneaker heels because they want height and wearability," the S...
