Naturally, Kim Kardashian Is the New Face of Balenciaga

Kim Kardashian is the face of Balenciaga's new campaign, and while it's an exciting announcement for the founder of Skims, the news won't come as a surprise to longtime fashion observers. Considering her relationship with Balenciaga's creative director, Demna Gvasalia, it feels like the culmination of many public moments we've seen last year: most notably at the 2021 Met Gala, which was the probable precursor of a new, all-covered Balenciaga uniform for the business mogul. We later saw an iteration at the People's Choice Awards, when she announced that she passed her baby bar exam, and during the family Christmas photo shoot. It's safe to say that Demna's designs are the 41-year-old star's go-to these days.

Shot on location by Stef Mitchell in her Calabasas home, Kardashian models three distinct ready-to-wear looks that feel authentic to her personal style. In one image, she poses in a black catsuit with one of the brand's most popular bags, La Cagole in neon green. In the second, she's a businesswoman in a leopard print coat, knife boots, and a black La Cagole in hand. In the third, she fully transforms into a Balenciaga muse in a signature oversize coat with sharp shoulders, finished with dark sunglasses, pointy boots, and the mini Hourglass handbag resting at her side. Considering Kardashian's celebrity, the campaign cements Balenciaga's position as one of the most culturally relevant luxury brands today. Also starring in the ads are French actress Isabelle Huppert and the models Tommy Blue and Marie-Agnès Diene.

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...
