In the world of Hollywood, there’s a pretty well-known fact among some of our fave celebs: Rihanna smells amazing. As in, like a-tiny-slice-of-heaven amazing.

The return of low-rise jeans has been circling for some time now, and making a full-fledged landing in mass retailers seems more a matter of “when” than “if.” Because we all know how the fashion industry

Pink Lines We’re still in love with the negative nail trend, and it looks even sweeter in baby pink. Simply add a strip of thin tape horizontally, then paint over in your favorite lacquer. Wait until tacky, then remove the tape. Once the color is completely dry, finish the look with a clear top coat.

I can’t remember a time when I didn’t pick my skin. Of course there must’ve been a time, before I was plagued with puberty and started to sprout small pimples in all regions of my face, the acne indiscriminate in its placement or size. But in my memory, it’s always been there—the irresistible urge to

Ali Oshinsky, @KaliKennedy Eye makeup is so boring. Isn’t it? Case in point: if you own a palette, you’ve probably hit pan on the brown, the lighter, taupier brown, and nothing else. There’s also, of course, the issue of use. Disregarding the fact that a pressed powder in the beige family very rarely inspires the

Anne Hathaway, 2012 As she shed her hair for playing the role of grisette Fantine in Les Misérables, Hathaway admitted she shed tears as well. But, alas, all that woe was for naught. After all, she took home the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her part in the film and soon became a force

Selin Alemdar Trends are cyclical, so it’s no surprise that our favorite ’90s nail looks are having a come-back moment.

What pairs best with a Grammy, you ask? If you’re a hopeful nominee dreaming of accepting the miniature gilded gramophone, ten digits of intricate and exquisite nail art seem to be the only option. Celebrities like Billy Porter and Rosalía all have extended their look from cool hair and gorgeous gowns to the focus on

Amy Sussman We look to the Oscars for polished, elegant looks and to the Met Gala for the drama. But when it comes to the annual Grammy Awards ceremony, we get the best of both worlds—especially where beauty is concerned. From smoldering smokey eyes to angelic bedazzled nails, these are the beauty looks we couldn’t

We’ve seen some interesting looks this awards season, including the SAG Awards and the Golden Globes. But the celebs (and stylists) didn’t come to play on the Grammys 2020 red carpet. From bright hues and dramatic silhouettes to the “yeehaw agenda”, here are some of the most eye-catching and coolest looks. Grammys 2020 Red Carpet

Showering is my favorite part of the day. It’s where I perform Beyoncé deep cuts, where I clear my head, where I wash away the crust of slumber in the morning and the grime after a long day at work. But it’s also where I cleanse my face. If you search “washing your face in

It’s time for the age-old question: what are you going to do with your hair this year? Is 2020 the year you get bangs? Should you go blonde? Go brunette? Just shave it all off? If your head is full of questions like these, fear not. We called in celebrity hairstylist Clayton Hawkin, who has

In recent years, facial oils have become a booming skincare category, taking up prominent shelf space. There are all kinds of facial oils you can choose from with ingredients like rosehip, marula and jojoba.

TikTok can make a person question many things, including their ability to learn choreography and if their reaction to trying kombucha would be worth documenting. But one viral video from makeup artist Charlotte Roberts—who goes by @CharlotteLooks—has got me rethinking everything. The talented MUA released a step-by-step tutorial on how to capture the contoured cheekbones,

@laurenladnier, @oliveandjune, @evemeetswest, @aliciatnails I don’t know what I thought 2020 was going to bring, but for some reason, I figured there would be some Y2K-esque, Sci-Fi reset, where everyone suddenly started dressing in sleek silver bodysuits and wearing holo-colored nails.

Giambattista Valli’s Feathered Frenzy Giambattista Valli’s spring 2020 was an open invitation to rest on the laurels of the creative genius’ mind.

Welp, the teddy coat has proven us all wrong: What seemed like a passing trend has managed to become a staple wardrobe piece. Not bad for a hunk of faux fur. Long before you saw it in every Aritzia window, the teddy coat was popular with motorists in the 1920s, when cars were first becoming popular,
