Demi Lovato Combats Vaccine Misinformation With Phenomenal's "Pro-Vaxxer" Sweatshirt

Demi Lovato is joining forces with Vice President Kamala Harris's niece, Meena Harris, to dispel misinformation about vaccinations. The world is striving towards herd immunity but falsehoods are spreading almost as quickly as the COVID-19 vaccine is being distributed. Demi and Meena's Phenomenal brand hope to clear up these misconceptions while simultaneously raising money for a good cause.

Chatting about a sensitive topic like vaccines is no easy feat, but Phenomenal is supplying a simple conversation starter. The brand released a "Pro-Vaxxer" Sweatshirt ($55) to go along with its campaign. One-hundred percent of the proceeds from the sweatshirt's sale will go towards grassroots mobilization and education efforts to disseminate trusted information to communities of color - particularly Black women - about vaccine safety, distribution, and accessibility.

The sweatshirt is an easy first step, but how can we really tackle tough conversations about vaccine misinformation at home? Meena told POPSUGAR it's all about the resources. "The more we can lead with love and approach these conversations not dismissively, but from a place of understanding and mutual concern, the more people will choose to get vaccinated," she said. Meena suggested pointing family and friends in the direction of credible sources, like the CDC to help speak truth to their worries.

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...
