Let’s Discuss the Vintage Chanel Puffer Coat Rihanna Debuted Her Baby Bump In

It was the Monday morning news that had the internet spiraling: Rihanna is pregnant and expecting her first child with A$AP Rocky. In a series of glowing paparazzi photos, the couple strutted down the snowy sidewalks of New York City with all eyes on Rihanna 's baby bump for what could've been the trendiest pregnancy announcement we've seen. The Savage X Fenty entrepreneur chose a vintage pink puffer coat from Chanel's fall/winter 1996 collection to share the exciting news in. Rihanna paired the coat with low-rise jeans and a Chanel chain belt, plus colorful vintage jewels from the fashion house. She also wore a diamond vintage signet ring on her middle finger from Briony Raymond. The pink silk puffer coat features Gripoix buttons from Chanel's runway show in Paris, as seen in the photo above modeled by Christina Kruse.

Fashion Hack From Margot Robbie: An AirPods Case Can Double as a Purse

Just when we thought the micro-bag trend was finally laid to rest, Margot Robbie resurrected it with a twist we didn't see coming. While attending Chanel's haute couture spring/summer 2022 show at Paris Fashion Week, the actor seemingly previewed her forthcoming "Barbie" movie role by toting along a teeny-tiny purse that's actually, upon further inspection, an AirPods case. Same same, but different, right? The bag in question looks like most Chanel designs, with a quilted leather exterior and a chain-link crossbody strap, but it appeared to have encountered the shrinking machine from Disney's "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids." Measuring less than 3 inches in both length and height, the miniature accessory begs the question: what on earth did Robbie have stored inside? We doubt she brought actual AirPods along for the show, but it's also hard to imagine what else could possibly fit beyond the wireless earbuds. Perhaps a tube of lipstick? The key to h...

Are Mismatched Shoes the New Style Trend? Paris Hilton Says, "That's Hot"

As Paris Hilton spoke to host Jimmy Fallon about her wedding and current projects on "The Tonight Show" , her shimmery lime green dress popped boldly on screen. The choice of her stylist Sammy K , the Giuseppe di Morabito design featured a turtleneck and a thigh-high slit that showcased her toned legs. As we appreciated this skin reveal moment, we also couldn't help but notice the entrepreneur's slightly mismatched shoes. On the right foot she wore a simple Giuseppe Zanotti nude pump, while the left foot feature another nude pump but with sparkles adorning the heel and toe. Was this an intentional wardrobe malfunction? It definitely made for lighthearted, good-natured banter. Or was she just rushing to get out of the hotel? Host Jimmy Fallon wondering the same thing as he poked fun at the wrong shoes in an Instagram post . Is this a shoe trend we can expect to see more of in 2022? After all, the two pumps still worked together somehow. Scroll on to decide, and ...

Spring's 6 Biggest Bag Trends Are Here

From labels like Chanel giving a major nod to the '90s by way of poppy-pink, heart-shaped bags with pearl embellishments to brands like Chloe and Ulla Johnson, which opted to remain true to their boho-chic heritage, the handbag options for spring 2022 are endless. If you're anything like us and like to keep a close watch on what bags you add and subtract to your wardrobe, thoughtfully making purchases without buying for the sake of buying, then you probably don't think this post is for you. But I beg to differ - despite the sometimes impractical bags we saw coming down the runways, there were surprisingly far more bag trends that spoke to the "everyday" aesthetic. From oversized totes and bucket bags that can fit everything to handheld pouches perfect for a night out, you'd be surprised at how many bags were, dare I say, wearable. Now that we've got your attention, here are the six handbag trends you'll be seeing everywhere next spring season. fr...

Schiaparelli Spring '22 Couture Is For the Boldest in Hollywood

Daniel Roseberry's Schiaparelli collection has the fashion world buzzing about the return of Couture. Roseberry, who was appointed creative director in 20219, sent a black-and-white galactic-inspired lineup down the spring 2022 runway. Dresses were cut in sharp silhouettes and finished with gilded headpieces; a bustier made of twisted metal and paired with an expertly cut liquid white skirt was a subtle standout; while drama by way of oversize jewels, embellishments, hoods, and collars dominated the looks. It's more is more, albeit with fine-tuned artistry, even restraint, when it comes to color palette and carefully constructed proportions. It's both forward thinking and nostalgic - biker-like shorts or a black sheath that looks like something Princess Diana might have worn , if not covered in oversize gold embellishments or cut to show so much skin. That's the beauty of it; familiar, but disarming; wearable art, if the wearer is bold enough. Roseberry taps into Sc...

Birkenstocks Get the Luxury Treatment In a New Collaboration With Dior

In the midst of Mens' Fashion Week in Paris, a glimpse at the footwear on the Dior runway stopped me dead in my tracks: Are they be wearing Birkenstocks ? Like really luxe Birkenstocks? A little while later, an email from Dior PR confirmed my suspicions. Dior partnered with Birkenstock to launch their own collaboration, which they aptly debuted on the winter 2022 runway. The whole lineup of new winter looks was, in fact, finished with a pair of Dior by Birkenstock clogs, all crafted in the same "Dior gray" and neutrals. Chic . The iconic brands partnered for the first time on this collaboration, introducing two reinvented Birkenstock classics. Both the Tokio mules and the Milano sandals were given the Dior treatment, rendered in felt and suede, and finished in the same seasonal palette that designer Kim Jones chose for the winter clothes. There are also elegant nods to the Dior heritage - a tribute to Monsieur Dior's love of gardening with the function-meets-fashion...

7 Spacious Weekender Bags I've Actually Tried and Truly Love

I like to consider myself a pro-traveler , who is truly an expert packer. Pre-pandemic, I was racking up a ton of air miles and could go just about anywhere with a carry-on suitcase . My secret to only taking a small piece of luggage was that I would get a ton of use out of my weekender bag. These useful totes are so much more handy than traditional purses, because I can take everything in them from my cosmetics to shoes to my laptop, and lastly, even my normal handbag. Throughout the years, and now that I'm safely traveling again, I've tested and tried a handful of these large carryalls, and I definitely have my favorites.

I Tried Several Puffer Jackets, and These Are the 5 That Can Withstand a New York Winter

I'm spending my first winter in New York City, and as soon as the temperatures started to drop in early November, every New Yorker's favorite thing to tell me was, "You haven't felt anything yet!" As a California girl who grew up with 60-degree winters, I knew I was going to be cold in no time. In order to get through the chilly temperatures (that still continue to drop) there was one thing I knew I needed: a real winter coat . I've truly never owned one before, because I never lived in a cold climate, so I did what every shopping pro does: started my shopping journey. My wish list entailed pretty much just wanting something cute, comfy, and warm. I took several recommendations from friends and fellow editors , and the more people I asked, the more I couldn't wait to find out my winning pick, and most people asked me for follow-up results on the one I choose. After testing a handful of options, I settled on my five favorites and am here to share my resu...

Chloe Bailey Rivals Barbie in Baby Pink Miu Miu

Chloe Bailey must have Barbie on speed dial, because her latest outfit looks straight out of the Dreamhouse's walk-in closet. Equipped with a $3,900 Louis Vuitton purse, the "Have Mercy" singer stepped onto the court ahead of a Lakers game on Jan. 19 to snap a few photos of her bubblegum pink look. Posing in a white crop top and pink Miu Miu track pants , Bailey showed off a chic bomber jacket complete with the Miu Miu logo embroidered on the front. "Life is goooood 🏀💕," she captioned the photo of her look. Bailey completed the designer ensemble with a pair of molded rubber Balenciaga sandals in candy pink, giving the outfit the final je ne sais quoi that Barbie would definitely approve of. In the comments section, fans compared Bailey's look to everything from a bottle of Pepto Bismol to Regina George's Wednesday uniform , but all we see is a cozy outfit made for stealing the spotlight. Take a closer look at every piece from Bailey's game-day en...

Heads Up: Party Hats Are Back

There's a generally maximalist mood that's sunk into every aspect of fashion lately. We're well into the next roaring '20s, and our wardrobes are catching up to that mood: it's time to swap the sweatpants and normcore for something more fun. Sequins, silks, and bright colors are flouncing down runways and saturating streetwear scenes. Nowhere is this shift to ultraglamour made more apparent than with hats. We let the allure of fashionable hats slip for a while, didn't we? It's impossible to blame it all on the recent fashion downtime that was (forcefully) ushered in by the multiyear-long pandemic. The glamour of hats of the 1950s and '60s dissolved over the past few decades. Hats became boring, addressing utilitarian needs only: beanies pulled down to cover chilly ears and baseball brims provided shade. Thank the Fashion Gods that we have a new generation of ultracool, ultratalented milliners that are pushing us to remember how fun it is to dress up wi...

TikTokers Roast Euphoria's Nonexistent High School Dress Code

Euphoria 's East Highland High School enrolled a whole new crop of students this month - on TikTok, that is. Following the HBO show's season two premiere , fans are suiting up in outfits that poke fun at the fictional high school's entirely nonexistent dress code , and it's shaping up to be our favorite TikTok trend of 2022 to date. Most of the videos follow the same format: the creator comes on camera wearing something casual and unassuming, like sweatpants and a hoodie, just as we hear audio of Squidward from SpongeBob SquarePants yelling, "And why aren't you in uniform?!" They then squeakily backpedal and return in a more appropriate getup - usually something risqué, cropped, and/or covered in cutouts. While most of the inspired looks flooding TikTok are purposefully exaggerated, they're not too far from what we've seen Maddy (Alexa Demie), Cassie (Sydney Sweeney), Kat (Barbie Ferreira), Jules (Hunter Schafer), and other characters wear on c...

As a Black Fashion Editor, I Have People Like André Leon Talley to Thank For My Dreams

It can be difficult to mourn someone you never met, but when that person's had a major impact on your life, their death becomes your loss, too. Though we never actually met, I first encountered André Leon Talley years ago on the front row of fashion's most prestigious runway shows, seated next to none other than Anna Wintour. I had to know who the lone (and flamboyantly dressed) Black editor who accompanied the industry's most prominent figure to these rarefied events was. Here was this boy from Durham, NC, who grew up with his grandmother during the Jim Crow era and became the highest-ranking editor in fashion history. His story filled me with hope and optimism. As a young child in Haiti, I filled notebooks with fashion sketches and wrote diary entries about my goal to make it in fashion. I fully understood what it would take when I moved to New York, and I have role models like Talley to thank for it, as he championed people who look like me, giving visibility to model...

7 Unique Engagement Ring Trends For 2022 That Exceed the Obvious

2022 is ushering in a new bridal trends , lineup of fresh engagement ring shapes that run the gamut from unique in design to striking in color. We talked to some of the world's most prominent jewelers, and the trendsetters behind smaller brands, to see what clients have been requesting. It seems like big oval shapes, fancy cut accents, and multi-stones are definitely sticking around. And, rather than finding the iciest diamond in the case, people are instead prioritizing sentimental value or personal, hidden touches that make their sparklers stand out. That's where color comes in. When you consider the fact that no two stones are alike, you may want to source your own emerald, sapphire, or ruby to highlight your originality. Finally, don't underestimate the androgynous appeal of a thick band, decorated in embellishments (or not) in place of a central setting, and remember that you've always got the option to choose a classic diamond, but tilted ever so slightly, or ...

J Lo Taps Into the Matrix Style Trend With Risqué Leather Bra Top

Leave it to Jennifer Lopez to own any fashion trend, from Western-inspired style to most recently, the bra-top infused with a Matrix-style sensibility. In a recent Instagram post , the singer donned a skin-tight criscross leather bra-top that is as sharp as her fashion taste. It is clear by now that the 52-year-old multi-hyphenate isn't one to shy away from bold skin reveals (who can forget the iconic Versace moment ), and she wears everything with a decidedly feminine and confident attitude. This time was no different, and we're suddenly ready for spring. She paired the bra-top with white paperbag waist trousers cinched around the waist, creating a nice visual contrast. Multiple necklaces, rings and bracelets embellished the actress's neck, all from BVLGARI 's iconic Serpenti, B.zero1 and Divas' Dream collection. This elevated fashion moment was complete with a cropped modern jacket that appeared in the first shot of the carousel, but was missing in the second...

TikTok Got Me To Try a Pair of Cameltoe-Proof Underwear- and They Actually Work

I'm just going to come right out and say it: it's time to talk about cameltoes. We've all been there at one point or another- we slip on our favorite pair of workout leggings and running shoes , only to look in the mirror and see that we can see much more than we bargained for. Namely, the outline of our labia majora . While some of us may have no problem with the idea of showing a little extra, others might not feel so comfortable. I am firmly stationed in the latter camp, which is why when I first heard about Jiv Athletic's Cameltoe Proof High Rise Thong ($34), I knew I had to get my hands on a pair immediately. Like most good things in my life, I discovered the existence of cameltoe-proof underwear while scrolling through my TikTok feed late one night. After seeing one video where a woman was praising how amazing the thongs were, I started seeing more and more videos of women calling out Jiv Athletics for their amazing underwear. (Thank you, TikTok algorithm.) ...

Tom Holland Plays Himself For Prada's New Campaign

Tom Holland isn't playing Spider-Man. For his latest role in Prada 's spring/summer 2022 campaign, the actor is just being himself, albeit in some very nice clothes. Tom shows off the menswear collection from designers Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons on the heels of Spider-Man: No Way Home , his record-breaking box-office win, and it turns out he's an excellent model, too.

"To showcase the Spring/Summer 2022 Prada menswear collection by Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, global star Tom Holland performs as 'himself' in a series of photographs by David Sims." Here, you'll find the actor looking like a natural in three Prada looks, including a cool black cardigan, a red leather jacket, and a polished white button-down. See the campaign ...

A Lesson in Modeling a Fringe Dress, as Illustrated by Tracee Ellis Ross

"When life gives you a fringe dress, you must twirl in it." - Tracee Ellis Ross, 2022 OK, so Tracee didn't actually say this, but she certainly implied it with her latest style moment . For a Late Night With Seth Meyers interview on Thursday evening, the Black-ish star emulated pure sunshine in a yellow fringe dress, and although it was a virtual appearance from home, she still managed to show off the full look in all its glory. "I want to make an entrance like it's real. You're not gonna see my face, but the dress is so good, watch," she told Seth before standing up and doing a little shimmy to model the outfit. Lucky for us, that wasn't the only peek at the knit dress that Tracee offered - she also posted a slow-motion video of her dancing in it to further demonstrate how beautifully the fringe pieces and beaded sleeve tassels move. Selected by stylist Karla Welch , the party dress hails from Proenza Schouler's spring 2022 collection - a...

With a series of stunning photos, Danielle Brooks took to social media this week to celebrate her Miami nuptials to Dennis Gelin and the gorgeous gowns she wore for the occasion. The actor opted for two dresses, one by longtime friend Christian Siriano and the other by Alonuko. " I always knew I was going to have two dresses ," Danielle told Vogue of the looks. "We thought it would be best to do a first look reveal so that we could go ahead with bridal party pictures and not hold up our guests after the ceremony. I decided to wear Christian Siriano for the reveal. We have been friends ever since my career first began." That Christian Siriano dress was also a clever three-in-one design that allowed Danielle to create three separate style moments - from a dreamy princess gown to a body-con dress and, finally, pants! As for the first look, the ballgown designed by Alonuko, Danielle spoke to the importance of working with a Black designer: "It was also importan...
