Kim Kardashian to Win the First-Ever CFDA Innovation Award For Skims

Skims is officially a CFDA award winner. The brand will receive the first-ever innovation award presented by Amazon Fashion at the 2022 CFDA Fashion Awards, which will be held on Nov. 7. Skims founders Kim Kardashian, Emma Grede, and Jens Grede will be present to accept the award in person at the ceremony.

"Fashion relies on true visionaries to push the envelope and propel our industry forward," CFDA CEO Steven Kolb said in a statement. "With Skims, Kim, Emma, and Jens have pioneered new technology in the process of reinventing the concept of solutions-oriented shapewear. Together with our CFDA Fashion Awards partner Amazon Fashion, which is a continuous innovator on behalf of customers, the CFDA is incredibly proud to honor Skims with the inaugural Innovation Award."

The shapewear and clothing company was cofounded in June 2019 and recently expanded to include swimwear and bras. It's celebrated for its innovative fabrics and inclusive sizing - and it's valued at $3.2 billion, according to Vogue Business.

Besides viral fan favorites like its cozy knit set and long slip dress, Skims produces ads that regularly break the internet, from its sultry lingerie shoot with Megan Fox and Kourtney Kardashian Barker to its throwback campaign with former Victoria's Secret models like Heidi Klum and Tyra Banks. But no one is a more dedicated spokesperson for Skims than Kardashian herself, who regularly poses on Instagram in the brand's thong bodysuits, sports bras, silver bikinis, and catsuits.

The CFDA plans to honor Lenny Kravitz with the 2022 fashion icon award; Law Roach with the inaugural stylist award; and the United Nations with the environmental sustainability award. It will also pay tribute to Virgil Abloh, acknowledging his tremendous impact on the American fashion industry at large.

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...

Katy Perry Takes Inspiration From "Kill Bill" in Yellow Moto Jacket and Low-Rise Jeans

Katy Perry is making the press rounds ahead of the upcoming season of "American Idol." On March 28, the competition judge and singer was spotted leaving "Good Morning America" in casual, off-duty street style that turned heads. She wore distressed, low-rise R13 Denim jeans that sat at her hips, as well as a white baby tee under a cropped leather Balenciaga jacket . With its thick black stripes running down the sleeves, the yellow race jacket was reminiscent of Uma Thurman 's iconic tracksuit in "Kill Bill." Wearing an assortment of rings on each of her left fingers, Perry also carried a yellow coffee cup with her other hand to match her jacket. As for the rest of her cool outfit, which was curated by stylist Tatiana Waterford , pointed black heels peeked out from the floor-length denim and sporty cat-eye sunglasses shielded the singer's eyes. The edgy ensemble was one of three outfits she wore on Tuesday. Perry arrived on the morning-show set ...
