Selena Gomez's Pink Rodarte Dress Is the Heart and Soul of Her "De Una Vez" Music Video

Fri, 15 Jan 2021 18:19:03 GMT

Selena Gomez has released her new Spanish song "De Una Vez," accompanied by a music video for us to get lost in. Gomez is clearly excited about this new chapter of her career, tweeting, "This is the beginning of something I've wanted to explore for so long. I hope you love it as much as I do." So it makes sense she'd call in a styling team she could trust to bring this romantic story to life. Shirley Kurata and Lauren Levin teamed up for the project, selecting a spring 2021 Rodarte dress with silk flowers from the brand to match.

The look was complete with Daniela Villegas Libertad opal earrings, which are a symbol for staying true to yourself and helped to paint the picture of healing - that's exactly what this song is about. Even though this isn't the type of video where Selena graces us with multiple outfit changes, it's safe to say she makes an impression in this beautiful floral number alone, which is complete with an affixed glowing heart that really takes center stage as Selena prances around an old house filled with Victorian-style furniture. Ahead, see Selena's Rodarte dress, and watch the video in full.

Sneakerheads, Prepare to Be Captivated by Virgil Abloh's Design Process in His New Book

Fri, 15 Jan 2021 17:37:02 GMT

It doesn't matter if you're a die-hard sneakerhead and live for release dates, or you're a casual streetwear shopper, Virgil Abloh is a household name. In 2016, the artistic director of Louis Vuitton and CEO of Off-White teamed up with Nike to reimagine 10 iconic pairs of sneakers, and now, fans are able to take a behind-the-scenes look at his design process, brilliant imagination, and so much more in an upcoming book. ICONS "Something's Off" is a 352-page, nearly five pound book from Nike and Virgil that features "prototypes, original text messages from Abloh to Nike designers, and treasures from the Nike archives." The book will be available for its initial release on Jan. 22 through SNKRS and for a wider release on Feb. 5 from TASCHEN for $70. The book will also have an initial early release at Black-owned bookstores and independent shops.

In a press release, Virgil praised the book and how beautiful it is to see it all come together like this. "The foundation of my practice isn't nearly the end result - it's rigor and process of the logic. The archive is the paper trail of those artifacts," he said. "The ICONS book is, in a way, the only revealing lens to understand that the catalog of the 50-plus Nike shoes I have designed are in my mind 'one shoe.' One story." He also shared the news on Instagram, writing, "This book is a catalog of images from my process that are largely not on the internet. The beauty about books is exactly that. You can rarely Google image search the full picture of anything." Check out a sneak peek from inside ICONS "Something's Off" ahead.

That's My Best Friend: Saweetie's Pink Tie-Dye Sweatsuit Can Be Yours For $154

Fri, 15 Jan 2021 17:26:03 GMT

That's my motherf*ckin' friend, so you know I'm gonna keep you in the loop.

On Jan. 3, Saweetie showed out on Instagram in a pink tie-dye sweatsuit. I can only imagine the complete look will go down in nostalgiacore history, but as far as the sweat set goes: it's none other than By Samii Ryan's much-awaited collab with Care Bears, in all its icy glory.

The collab dropped from mid-November on until late last month, with the staple BSR sweat sets released in a rainbow of pastels along with baby tees and crop tops. I've got the pink sweat suit, and aside from being adorable as a street style look, it's also very soft. The inside is lined, so it's genuinely cozy. I mean, it's got Saweetie's stamp of approval now, so you don't need convincing, do you?

Ahead, shop Saweetie's exact set, the Happy Thoughts Pink Tie-Dye Hoodie ($80) and Happy Thoughts Pink Tie-Dye Sweatpants ($74), along with other colorways from By Samii Ryan.

Yes, Billie Eilish's Futuristic Boots Are Out of This World

Fri, 15 Jan 2021 16:56:03 GMT

Billie Eilish always wears the coolest things, but her latest pair of boots takes the cake. The "Therefore I Am" singer posted a picture of her cool black shoes that were super futuristic. She captioned the Instagram photo, "i haven't slept since sunday." Same Billie, same. We see Billie sitting on a staircase wearing a black pleated miniskirt with what looks to be a black garter on one side in the photo. She finished her monochrome look off with a pair of chunky black boots from Swear London. While we're typically used to seeing the singer rep Gucci nonstop on the red carpet, it's exciting to see her experimenting with up-and-coming brands like Swear as well.

Billie's chunky boots featured a thick sole and kind of looked smushed together. She styled the shoes with cut-up black ribbed socks on top, making them look cooler IMO. If you're hoping to buy her exact boots, you're in luck because her Swear Exterminator Boots ($450) are still in stock on Farfetch. Keep reading to get a closer look at her rad shoes. Then, shop her exact pair or similar styles from the brand ahead.

Since March 2020, many celebrities have been doing their part to thank front-line workers for all the hard work they've accomplished throughout the COVID-19 surges. To thank these workers for their ongoing dedication, Post Malone is spreading the love ahead of Valentine's Day by donating 10,000 pairs of his sold-out Duet Max Clog II Crocs to front-line caregivers nationwide.

"As a special early #FrontlineValentines gift, we teamed up with @postmalone and @crocs, to offer our hospital partners nationwide a gesture of gratitude with extra comfort!" said Musicians on Call in an Instagram post on Jan. 13. "Caregivers and staff are receiving their very own pair of Post Malone's fifth #pmxcrocs collaboration as a thank you for their brave work on the frontlines to keep our communities safe!" The organization, which seeks to bring music to patients in healthcare facilities, also shared a photo of five healthcare workers happily holding up their new shoes.

"So grateful for @PostMalone & @Crocs support so @musiciansoncall can provide front-line caregivers with some fresh kicks to show our love for all they do!" tweeted Pete Griffin, the CEO of Musicians on Call. The Crocs, which have been sold out since their release date on Dec. 8, will be distributed to front-line workers at 70 US hospitals in hot pink or in black with a bright pink interior. Each pair of the shoes also has an extended heel strap and adjustable hook and loop closures for comfort, making them an excellent gift for the healthcare workers who put their lives on the line to ensure our safety every day.

What to Wear on Valentine's Day, Even If You Never Leave the House

Thu, 14 Jan 2021 22:20:05 GMT

Your Valentine's Day at home should not feel any less special than all the years before. And just because circumstances have it so that you're more likely pouring wine into a stemless "I Heart My Cat" glass (what, no one else?), rather than a plastic champagne flute at a bar, does not mean you have to be in pajamas. Of course, this is the holiday we highly recommend you pull out your pretty pink Sleeper set with the furry trim, but your little black dresses can still turn up too - that is, if you want them to.

No matter what your sense of style - yes, even if you want your Valentine's Day look to involve sporty sweats - we rounded up options for you and hope you'll scroll through to settle on a favorite look. You should feel special and treat yourself with love, especially if that means just paying extra attention to your beauty routine or accessorizing proudly for a festive Zoom call. Partner or no partner (clearly, cats count), silk slip or bralette, you're going to look and feel great, so don't shy away from celebrating Valentine's Day this year. Your wardrobe expects more from you!

The Checkered Pant Trend Is Making Us Rethink Our Wardrobe

Thu, 14 Jan 2021 22:09:03 GMT

I've never been a fan of trousers, but this checkered-print trend has me second guessing myself. Since I've been living in my sweatpants, I haven't been feeling particularly inspired to dress up or even think about wearing real pants. While I've been seeing the checkered print absolutely everywhere this year (shoutout to my fave KJ Plumb, who's created some of the most famous prints you've seen all over Instagram), I decided that it's time to cave.

I particularly love that the quirky gingham print makes me feel nostalgic for early 2000s styles - which have their roots in the '50s and '60s - and a lot of the pants come in bold colors like neon green, cherry red, and baby blue. Most of the trousers also come in a wide-leg silhouette and feature a high-waist, making your legs look longer. I also love the fact that you can wear them during any season, and it's fun to wear them in the winter if you're looking for a splash of color to brighten up your mood when it's gloomy outside. If you're not sure how to style the pants, we've turned to our favorite style stars to lend you a helping hand. Scroll on to see how it's done and shop our favorite selects too.

After 15 Years, I'm Still Buying This Bra From Gap

Thu, 14 Jan 2021 21:30:00 GMT

I have a constantly evolving relationship with bras. There was a time in 2015 when an innocuous quote I gave to a friend about my love of going bra-less went viral. "If you're comfortable, go for it," says Richards. "It's about time we stopped nipple shaming." Really, I had people I hadn't spoken to in years sending me screenshots of the clickbait quote on their newsfeeds and sending it to me. I'm not anti-bras, I'm wearing one right now and I especially appreciate the support five years later. You can find me in triangle bras, bralettes, easy on and off sports bras, and even cashmere bras! I love them all.

But you know what bra stuck with me through it all, even when I pushed it to the back of my underwear drawer? Gap's T-shirt bra. I've gone through about three in the last 15 years and I keep returning to it because of its comfort and perfect shape. It plunges deep enough to leave room for a good v-neck, but the cups are large enough that there's not that spilling out effect. It has survived gentle cycles on the washing machine and has truly been an "everyday" kind of bra.

I also own a strapless bra from Gap I've had for years that gives me just the right shape with tube tops and other strapless looks. When you're looking for basic go-tos, Gap definitely has you covered. Plus, the site is having a sale and you can get an extra 10 percent off with the code ADDIT. Here are a few styles that could fast become your old faithful!

Why Yes, Queen Anne Hathaway Dressed to the Nines For Her Virtual Movie Premiere

Thu, 14 Jan 2021 21:23:08 GMT

No red carpet? No problem. Anne Hathaway dressed to the nines for a virtual movie premiere on Wednesday, wearing not one but three designer gowns that are oh-so-fitting for the true Queen of Genovia. (Yep, no loungewear here!) To promote the debut of her new film, Locked Down, the actress got glammed up to the max and posed in a backyard poolside setting for a full-fledged photo shoot captured by Christian Högstedt, and we're bowing down. Celebrity-adored stylist Erin Walsh pieced together each of Anne's ensembles, opting for all metallic pieces.

Anne first slipped into a lavish gold sleeved gown from Azzaro's spring/summer 2020 collection paired with Sophia Webster heels that were devastatingly hidden under the voluminous ribbed skirt in the shot she chose to 'gram. Next up, the star slipped into a rose-gold Atelier Versace stunner with an intricate neckline and dangerously thigh-high slit, adding Melissa Kaye jewelry for an extra sparkle. And last but certainly not least, the mother of two wore a shorter silver Vivienne Westwood dress with Dolce & Gabbana heels, shiny James Bank Design rings, and dangly Ana Khouri earrings. It's almost too much glitz and glamour to handle!

Ahead, admire the ad campaign-worthy photos of Anne serving up some serious elegance in her off-the-runway dresses.
