Mark My Words: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's White Cape Will Go Down in History

When Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joined her fellow female lawmakers and congresswomen at Donald Trump's State of the Union address on Feb. 5, she was dressed head to toe in white to support the women's suffrage movement. The photos of her with a cheerful smile on her face, high-fiving the smartly dressed ladies in the room when Trump acknowledged their success, are more than enough to admire. "No one has benefited more from our thriving economy than women, who have filled 58 percent of the newly created jobs last year," the president stated.

But we much prefer the shots of Alexandria's bold entrance with Ana Maria Archila, coexecutive director of the Center For Popular Democracy Action, by her side. Alexandria's puckered red lips, gold hoops (the same ones she wore for her swearing in), and confidence were the only accessories she needed for her swingy blazer cape, which some people have identified as this $90 design from Zara.

Alexandria completed her outfit with her WFP pin and one with a photo of Jakelin Caal, the Guatemalan child who died in custody of the US border patrol. She wore a beaded necklace and suede pumps capped off her trousers. Yep, this is one boss lady look to be remembered. It's not the first time Alexandria's acknowledged fashion in her political world, and it certainly won't be the last.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
