Congratulations Are in Order For Billie Eilish, the Youngest Person to Receive the PETA Award

PETA named Billie Eilish its 2021 Person of the Year, recognizing her commitment to animal protection and activism within the fashion industry. She is the youngest person to receive the annual award; previous recipients include Joaquin Phoenix, Pope Francis, Oprah Winfrey, and Anjelica Huston, among others.

"She gets people to listen-and not only to her music." the company shared in an official statement. Among the many reasons cited, PETA mentioned the singer's powerful night at the MET Gala, where she showed up in a floor-sweeping Oscar de La Renta gown (after convincing the team to stop using fur), and used her role as the event's co-chair to influence the menu (they served exclusively vegan meals). This will come as no surprise considering the Grammy winner's unwavering commitment to promoting a vegan lifestyle.

Furthermore, her passion for sustainable fashion manifested when the Grammy winner partnered with Nike to launch an Air Jordan shoe collection this year, which featured sneakers that were 100% vegan leather with over 20% recycled material. The following release of her first perfume upheld those same ethical standards as it was made without animal-derived ingredients and wasn't tested on animals.

"Billie Eilish is making sure that the party's over for meaty, milky meals as well as for leather, fur, and silk," PETA President Ingrid Newkirk continued. "PETA is happier than ever to celebrate her for seizing every opportunity to point out that vegan fashion and foods are kinder to the animals and the planet we share with them".

Join us in congratulating the 19-year-old star!

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...
