The thick, white formula dries down to a clear layer that you peel off after 20 to 30 minutes, just like PVA glue. But it’s not just a novelty. In true Byoma fashion, the mask is packed with hardworking ingredients: redness-reducing cica, hydrating bio-collagen (behind that glass-skin finish), and ceramides, which act like glue between skin cells to keep them soft and healthy. It’s not only fun to use, but it really does boost glow. I’ve been trialling it for a few weeks now, and the compliments have been coming in thick and fast." — Jacqueline Kilikita, Beauty Director Byoma Bio-Collagen Radiance Facial Mask, $, available at Ulta BeautyGap Low Rise '90s Loose Jean"I could’ve never guessed that I’d be wearing low-rise jeans in the year 2026 (let alone thrilled about it!) but here we are — and it’s all thanks to Gap. Full disclosure, I was influenced by my twin sister (a fashion designer at Gap), who put me on to the Low Rise '90s Loose Jeans, and as always, her taste is impeccable. These aren’t the dramatically low-rise jeans of the early 2000s with an inch-long zipper; instead, the baggier fit allows for them to naturally hit right above the hips, with a looser fit throughout the leg. They are very true to size, and I love that I could even find my size in petite lengths, allowing them to fit like a dream right off the rack. Dare I say, I’m even eyeing a few more pairs in different washes? Who is she!" — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer Gap Low Rise '90s Loose Jeans, $, available at GapAthleta Elation Ultra High Rise Flare Pant"Athleta’s bestselling Elation line expanded in January, and I got to try the new Elation flare leggings live in action at a workout class. And let me tell you, I’ve tried many, many athletic leggings, and these really impressed me. They’re not constricting, but they are super supportive. The biggest win, though, was that I didn’t need to hike up the leggings throughout the 45-minute workout, which is a rarity for me. The regular length was a bit too long for me, but I’m ordering the petite length that I know will become my go-to workout legging." — Victoria Montalti, Fashion Shopping WriterAthleta Elation Ultra High Rise Flare Pant, $, available at AthletaZara ZW Collection Wide Leg Pants"I saw these pants in Zara and instantly bought them. Unlike your average pair of pleated trousers, these come with two deep side creases that make them look couture-level cool. And if that wasn’t enough, the silhouette is a dramatic wide leg that adds a modern touch to the overall finish. I plan on wearing them nonstop. After all, a great pair of black pants is a necessity in every wardrobe, especially since the occasions to wear them are endless. On in-the-office days, they’ll pair well with a classic button-down shirt and kitten heels and during elevated weekend moments they’ll look great with a halter top and my favorite pair of sneakers. Now that I think about it, I probably should grab the khaki colorway, too, before it sells out." — Alexis Bennett Parker, Director of Affiliate Partnerships Zara ZW COLLECTION WIDE LEG PANTS, $, available at ZaraMilk Makeup Cooling Water Jelly Shimmer"Glitter is my beauty signature — whether it’s a champagne sparkle for everyday or a full-on rainbow party for special occasions, I live for it. So naturally, when Milk Makeup released its Cooling Water Jelly Shimmer sticks, I squealed with excitement. However, lest you think this is a see-it-from-space statement look, think again. The sparkles are so fine and delicate that the effect is more subtle and fairy-like than Euphoria extra. I’m partial to two shades, Fro Yo (a funfetti-like rainbow shimmer) and Bubbly, which combines gold and silver shimmer in the formula’s clear base. The stick feels so refreshing and glides smoothly as butter — and since it’s a solid formula and not a loose glitter, there’s no pesky fallout to worry about. Plus, it’s made with vegan collagen and aloe to lend a cooling boost of hydration that feels like heaven around the eyes and cheekbones." — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior WriterMilk Makeup Cooling Water Jelly, $, available at SephoraAshley & Co Soothe Tube"During the winter months, I go through hand cream like crazy. Most are just fine, some are a greasy mess, but only one delivers the long-lasting, non-oily moisture that keeps my hands looking and feeling their best — and it’s this one. I discovered Ashley & Co’s Soothe Tube on a recent trip to New Zealand (the brand’s home country!) and since then, I've been ruined for all other hand creams as a result. This buttery cream is so gentle and nourishing, but absorbs readily and doesn’t make my phone or laptop keyboard gross afterwards. It’s also lightly scented with all-natural fragrance oils from lily, ginger, sandalwood, and ylang ylang, making it a sensorial delight every time I reach for it. (This past Christmas, I gave tubes to my mom and sister, who both loved it just as much as I did.)" — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior WriterAshley & Co SOOTHE TUBE HAND CREAM TUI & KAHILI, $, available at Ashley & CoDove’s Whipped Shower Foam"Ever since I was shampooing with L’Oréal Kids, I’ve always loved making bathtime a fun, great-smelling part of my day. And while my bathtub may house fewer candy-colored bottles these days, that doesn’t mean my products are boring. Case in point: My latest body wash obsession, Dove’s Whipped Shower Foam. This soft, creamy lather is a joy to spray on your bod, and the fresh berry scent is light yet decadent. (This stuff also doubles as shaving cream, saving precious shelf space in your shower.) Even after my sweatiest workouts, this stuff leaves me feeling fresh and clean, but never dry and stripped." — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior WriterDove Whipped Shower Foam - Rice Milk & Velvet Acai, $, available at TargetSaie SuperSuede Baked Powder Bronzer"If you love the idea of bronzer but the ones you’ve tried have left your makeup looking streaky, muddy, or orange, look no further than Saie’s SuperSuede Baked Powder. It’s everything you want in a bronzer: silky (so it blends effortlessly), buildable without looking heavy, and infused with skin-loving ingredients like hydrating hyaluronic acid and nourishing squalane. It comes in six shades, spanning Fair to Light through to Dark to Deep." — Jacqueline Kilikita, Beauty Director Saie SuperSuede™ Radiant Talc-Free Baked Powder Bronzer, $, available at SephoraBottega Veneta Large Barbara Tote"I’ve been looking for a perfect work bag: one that will hold my laptop and still look good with every outfit. Bottega Veneta read my mind and just released the new Barbara tote. It’s an IYKYK design that whispers chic — no loud logos and no unnecessary bells and whistles. One of my favorite parts is this undeniably chic espresso color. It’s dark enough to match everything in my closet, yet it subtly stands out just enough to add depth and interest to each look. I also love that it comes in an extra-large size that’s roomy enough for all the essentials, but I can also hug it tightly under my arm while I’m running around New York City to work appointments. If the spring 2026 runways taught us anything, it’s that we all need an oversized emotional support bag." — Alexis Bennett Parker, Director of Affiliate Partnerships Bottega Veneta Large Barbara Tote, $, available at Bottega VenetaUniqlo Barrel Jeans"Oh, do I love a Uniqlo staple. And after reviewing some spring newness, I got the opportunity to pick a pair of new jeans. I, of course, opted for barrel jeans in a dark wash. I loved the under-$50 price tag, how lightweight the denim felt (perfect for winter-to-spring transitional weather) and especially that I could get in-house alterations on the hems. I’m under 5'3'' tall so I usually have to buy petite pants (or suffer). But with Uniqlo’s free alteration service, I was able to get this pair hemmed to the perfect length." — Victoria Montalti, Fashion Shopping WriterUniqlo Barrel Jeans, $, available at UniqloElm Biosciences A3O Elemental Night Cream"If anyone could convince me to use a night cream, it’s Martha Stewart. I’ve been testing her latest launch for Elm Biosciences for over a month now, and it’s been the highlight of my nighttime skincare routine. It’s deeply hydrating but doesn’t feel greasy, and it hasn’t broken me out once. The cushiony, plush texture feels like such a treat for skin, especially in these colder, drier months. (I brought it with me to a recent ski trip in Japan, where my face was struggling with the dry, biting wind.) Powered by the brand’s hero A3O complex — which combines acetyl zingerone (an antioxidant derived from ginger), bakuchiol, and a fatty acid ester — this night cream left my face feeling brighter, softer, and less dehydrated. And the packaging feels so luxe, I smile just thinking it’s likely the only thing Martha and I have in common." — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior WriterElm Biosciences A3O™ Elemental Night Cream, $, available at Elm BiosciencesLike what you see?

Move Over Quiet Luxury: Gucci Says ‘Errand-Core’ Leggings Are The New Status Symbol

News Moderator - Tomas Kauer — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 11:00:09 +0000

MILAN, ITALY – FEBRUARY 27: Amelia Gray walks the runway at the Gucci Ready to Wear Fall/Winter 2026/2027 fashion show during the Milan Fashion Week on February 27, 2026 in Milan, Italy. Typically, it’s the runways that are a source of inspiration for how we dress in our everyday lives. But for his debut collection at Gucci, Demna Gvasalia flipped the script and turned an average pedestrian uniform into a much-talked-about catwalk moment. In the midst of sequin-adorned gowns and crystal-covered thongs à la Tom Ford-era Gucci, Gvasalia’s vision put a spotlight on the humble black legging and a classic white T-shirt. Yes, basically the same outfit I wore to the farmer’s market over the weekend. This is a huge departure from the theatrics of Alessandro Michele’s tenure and it even feels quite different from the elevated ease of Sabato De Sarno’s “quiet luxury” creations. Putting Amelia Gray in a high-fashion version of “errand-core” pieces proves that fashion is out of the era of creating “art for art’s sake” and is now doubling down on the pieces consumers actually live in. The radical act of normalcy was perfected with a high-neck, crisp, heavyweight white tee (not a flimsy undershirt), matte compression leggings that look as substantial as a great pair of trousers, and—the pièce de résistance—a Rosso Ancora bag. Of course, Gucci lovers will have to wait until next fall to invest in the runway-approved look. But if you’re like me and all of a sudden craving an upgrade to your leggings collection, these are the best of the best options to shop—no flimsy, see-through fabrics here. And considering the cost-per-wear (you’re bound to have these on for a minimum of 300 days in 2026 alone), it’s a no-brainer investment at any price point. Like what you see?

The Modern CEO Aesthetic: 6 Blazer Brands Winning Over It Girls Right Now

News Moderator - Tomas Kauer — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 11:00:08 +0000

If you’re like me, you’re probably sick and tired of bundling up in winter layers. Don’t lose hope though, my friends. We’ve made it through the harshest days of the season and sunshine is just around the corner. In other words: Now is the perfect time to invest in transitional outerwear pieces. Whether it’s coveted leather jackets or — the reason why we’re here today — cool-girl-approved spring blazers. While the tailored pieces are a classic essential in any wardrobe, not every blazer is created equally. There are some brands who have perfected the art of crafting timeless silhouettes over the years, while there are others who have worked diligently to give the staple a meticulously modern cut that feels undeniably chic. What’s even better is that the wardrobe hero looks great during any life event. Going to brunch with your friends on the weekend? Throw on a blazer. Have an important meeting with your boss? Throw on a blazer. Running errands but want to look polished just in case you run into your ex at the supermarket? Throw on a blazer. With so many options to shop, analysis paralysis can set in quickly. However, with a little research, it’s clear to see that there are standout winners. After consulting the visual diaries of our favorite it girls, we’ve unearthed the need-to-know brands creating the best spring blazers for women. I will warn you now, you are going to want to wear these every single day. The Frankie Shop If you’re someone who’s always faced with a bit of buyer’s remorse, you need to add The Frankie Shop to your sartorial arsenal. The label is known for its reliable foundational pieces. From button-down shirts to, of course, smart blazers. At the top, you’ll see Chiara Ferragni wearing the label’s Crosby blazer, an oversized design with a modern wrap effect, but there are so many more celeb-loved options. Kendall Jenner recently wore the bestselling Gelso and Hailee Steinfeld has the boxy Pia blazer. Madewell LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – DECEMBER 09: Selena Gomez visits the SiriusXM studios in Los Angeles on December 09, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Emma McIntyre/Getty Images for SiriusXM) If you’re looking for rich textures without spending thousands of dollars, I highly recommend Madewell’s edit. The assortment includes sumptuous suede blazers and corduroy styles that add a bit of interest to all those jeans-and-a-T-shirt outfits. Plus, Madewell’s blazers also come with a stamp of approval from Selena Gomez and It girl Alexa Chung. TWP Emma Roberts at the 2025 U.S. Open Women’s Finals – Blue Carpet held at USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center on September 06, 2025 in Queens, New York. (Photo by Kristina Bumphrey/Variety via Getty Images) Not too many brands can fuse the coolness of New York City’s energy with the sweet charm of the Midwest, but TWP’s Trish Wescoat Pound manages to do so with ease. The label’s blazers are tailored in a way that oozes modern-day CEO magic. That alluring appeal has reeled in a growing fan base like Elle Fanning, Emma Roberts, and Jennifer Garner—to name a few. H&M SAO PAULO, BRAZIL – AUGUST 20: Adriana Lima poses for photo on the red carpet during the event to announce the arrival of H&M to Brazil at Ibirapuera Park on August 20, 2025 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. (Photo by Mauricio Santana/Getty Images) Don’t sleep on the high-street finds. H&M has some hidden jewels in its repository. I’m a huge advocate for the Studio collections that offer higher-quality fabrics and exacting stitching, especially on the label’s tailored pieces like trousers and blazers. Of course, those top-notch items go fast, so I’d recommend marking your calendar for the next drop on March 5. Favorite Daughter View this post on Instagram A post shared by Favorite Daughter (@favorite.daughter) Looking like a style queen every time you leave the house need not be a difficult task. Favorite Daughter makes it easy with a collection of failproof staples. It’s no coincidence that pieces like the Favorite Pant have become bestsellers at a few multi-brand retail sites. And Refinery29 editors, Kristen Stewart, and Katy Perry all love the label’s dependable blazers. Saint Laurent We can’t talk blazers without mentioning the king. Saint Laurent is the working woman’s go-to for powerhouse women who want a bit of Parisian elegance sprinkled into their wardrobe. From sharp shoulders to exaggerated silhouettes, the house’s latest crop of blazers are truly irresistible. This is the type of fashion investment that will last you a lifetime so the cost-per-wear makes it worth every penny. Rihanna, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Margot Robbie, and more style stars would agree. Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?

The Goth Girl Spring Trend Is Already Trickling From the Runway to the Streets

News Moderator - Tomas Kauer — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 11:00:10 +0000

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – FEBRUARY 18: Dove Cameron is seen in Chelsea on February 18, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by TheStewartofNY/GC Images) Yes, the streets of NYC are still cloaked with piles of snow. But I can’t be the only one becoming impatient waiting for spring to officially arrive. The sartorial solution? Style stars are cleverly working next season’s most coveted pieces into their outfits now instead of later. Case in point: Dove Cameron gave the ’90s minimalist goth trend a spin while promoting her TV series 56 Days. On the runway, the movement was shaped by moody, all-black looks highlighted in Pierpaolo Piccioli’s debut Balenciaga collection and Catherine Holstein’s sharp Khaite jackets that hugged the body like a metaphorical shield from all of the chaos happening in the world. Cameron’s interpretation of goth girl spring felt effortlessly cool with the help of Nour Hammour’s Thalia leather jacket. It’s a popular style that checks all the boxes of 2026’s most-desirable spring outerwear pieces: a customizable cinched waist (a move away from the boxy silhouettes of previous years), a funnel neck design that sits up tall when fully zipped, and a slightly cropped silhouette that lands just below the waist. It’s leather jackets like these that will outshine any trench coat this year. Like with any trend, the key to mastering goth glam is all about balance. Stylist Marc Eram cleverly paired Cameron’s tough jacket with a white Alberta Ferretti dress. The fluid movement adds just the right amount of softness next to the structured layer. Keeping the grunge aesthetic going, Eram topped off Cameron’s look with Gentle Monster’s cult-favorite Manifesto sunglasses and Andrea Wazen boots, a winning combo that’s undeniably chic. If you’re like me and ready to push your heavy-duty winter coats to the back of your closet, now’s the moment to test out transitional ’90s minimalist goth jackets just like the one worn by Cameron.

NYFW Has A Size Diversity Problem — But These Designers Are On The Right Side Of History

News Moderator - Tomas Kauer — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 11:00:10 +0000

When I say I’ve watched the rise and fall of size inclusion at New York Fashion Week, I really mean it. I was at the runway of the first plus-size designer on the official NYFW calendar (Eden Miller’s Cabiria, showing at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week back in 2013). A year later, I was there when Chromat opened their SS15 show with plus model Denise Bidot — and I made a very un-fashion-week-like exclamation of excitement when I saw her step onto the runway. I saw Christian Siriano go from a straight size designer to a plus fashion collab with Lane Bryant, to dressing plus celebrities for the red carpet, to becoming one of the designers known for dressing every body once he normalized including multiple plus models on the runway in 2016.For a glorious while, it felt like progress was inevitable and the number of plus models walking NYFW would just keep going up… and then the pandemic hit. And then the rise of Ozempic for weight loss hit. And suddenly, progress hadn’t just ground to a halt — we were going backwards. As someone who has been pushing for size inclusion in fashion for over a decade, it is beyond disheartening to see the tiny bit of hard-fought progress we made being pushed back so rapidly. I’ve loved fashion since I was a little kid (I was the 5 year-old seeking out copies of Vogue and Elle at the local library), and I still get a thrill from covering NYFW even after a decade plus of doing so. But sometimes I look at the CFDA calendar before a season starts and feel my anxiety rising, because I just know there probably will be little to no size diversity to come. That bad-gut feeling was sadly correct this season. The official numbers aren’t in yet, but this might have been one of the least size diverse New York Fashion Weeks in recent history — and that bar is low.Now, some of this season’s dip can be attributed to certain brands sitting the season out. Last season, I saw the bulk of visibly plus size representation at plus-specific shows like Renee Cafaro Atelier and plus fashion label Eloquii’s NYFW debut. Size inclusive designers like Rachel Antonoff and Kimberly Gordon of Selkie can always be counted on for truly diverse runways too, but neither showed this season. Alexis Bittar is another designer that I always find casts without discriminating against larger bodies (last season’s pageant-themed presentation was filled with dolls of every size), but this year’s visceral, violent, and excellent vignette just included one model (and one victim), so size diversity wasn’t applicable this time around. But all that just highlights the fact that it shouldn’t be on a handful of designers to carry all of the representation at Fashion Week. Because when they change their format or skip a season, the absence is keenly felt. Sarah Chiwaya These feelings are supported by the data: We’ve not yet seen the numbers from this season, but last season the representation was insignificant, with less than 1% plus models on the runway, and 97.1% of models sizes 0-4. Given that the average U.S. size is closer to a 16/18 (and recent CDC data shows that that size is holding true even after years of aggressive marketing of GLP-1s for weight loss), that is nothing short of abysmal. To be clear, we’ve never approached anything even CLOSE to equitable runway representation (which would mean at least 67% curve models). Indeed, we’ve barely even cracked 5% — and that’s with the most generous calculations. Tokenization, which is not real representation, has often been the norm over the last decade, but there’s nothing like seeing zero curves on the runway to put the absence of even that little bit of size diversity into sharp relief. I wasn’t alone in feeling it, either. Bella Gerard, a fashion editor and author of Substack’s B List, also noted the blatant regression: “Above all else, the lack of body diversity on the runway this season just feels so…disappointing,” she noted. “It’s not breaking news that attempts at inclusivity are often performative in the fashion sphere, but this season really proved a ‘one step forward, three steps back’ reality. Not only was there next to no curve representation, but the straight size models looked even thinner than in recent years, calling back to an era of thinspo I thought we’d collectively renounced and evolved past.” Fortunately, there were some bright points this season too, with top designers whose visions of fashion were not constrained to just one type of girl. On the first day of shows, Collina Strada showed a deliciously darkly romantic-yet-eclectic collection, replete with high Victorian lace collars, blurred prints, volume play, and body baring dropped-waist silk dresses that looked equally hot on straight and plus size models. Later that evening, Jane Wade’s show — titled “The Summit” — was an innovative fashion expedition, with conifers on the runway, tents on dresses (and as dresses), and survival-ready fabrications merged with Wade’s signature suiting and elevated officewear. (The story of a corporate woman dreaming of an escape to nature is crucially not one limited by size.)And at New York Men’s Day, A.Potts showed a distinctive style of oversized, genderless clothing on a cast that included both age diversity and an even more underrepresented category: Male plus models. Designer Aaron Potts is no stranger to size diverse casting, either: Prior seasons have included plus models, and I — a size 20 — was actually one of the models for the launch of his new diffusion label Werkshop by A.Potts (which was also featured in his NYMD presentation). I allowed myself a little hope after that good first day, but as the week went on and I saw more shows with zero curve models than not, the lack of size inclusion just felt more and more pronounced. Industry friends who knew I was reporting on size inclusion this season would occasionally text me curve model sightings. “Paloma on the runway at Proenza.” “One curve model at Gabe Gordon.” “I think two? at Eckhaus Latta.” Every message was appreciated, but the underlying implication that we needed to be eagle-eyed to spot even a smidgeon of size inclusion was a downer. Then there were the false positives, driven by the emerging trend of adding mass to thin bodies with clothing. I saw countless peplums, panniers, and padded pieces throughout the week, and as I was desperately searching for a hint of curve and trying to parse a tall size 8 curve model from her size 4 contemporary, I occasionally got excited only to realize that was just a straight size model with fabric curves added on. It felt like I was playing an unwitting (and unwelcome) game of “curve model or just a structured hip?” When there’s so little visual difference between straight and curve models — who do not typically wear actual plus sizes, paradoxically — the facade of inclusion shatters even more. Shows with organic diversity, like Kim Shui’s richly textured, color-forward FW26 show, were some of the bright points of the season, but were sadly the exceptions, not the rule. Age diversity did seem to be on the uptick, too — with gorgeous older models in shows including Carolina Herrera, Diotima, and the relaunch of Derek Lam with new creative director Robert Rodriguez at the helm. Yet as I saw runway after runway composed exclusively of the thinnest models, the scattered tips I was getting about curve models on the runway started to feel like rare sightings of an endangered species. Sarah Chiwaya As someone with 25 seasons of NYFW under my belt and who has dedicated my career to the push for more and better for plus size women, I am always wary when there’s a category that seems like the chosen diversity du jour. True representation should be across the board and not a passing trend, with an ongoing emphasis on making sure underrepresented groups can see themselves in fashion. I’ve obviously clocked this, but other fashion industry vets have noted it as well. In a recent piece for the New York Times, top fashion critic Vanessa Friedman noted that the recent shift extends well beyond the catwalk: “The gravitational pull is toward an ever-shrinking human form, especially on the runway,” she wrote. “It’s too bad. Not because skinniness is bad, but because it should not be the only option. People still come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Seeing the reality of life reflected on the runways, which have become a form of entertainment for everyone, is actually more appealing than seeing life reduced to one size that cannot fit all.Designers who really understand that appeal also know that it’s good for their bottom line. Committing to size inclusivity isn’t just the ethical thing to do — it’s good business sense, too. Take Christian Siriano, who extolled the fiscal virtues of size inclusion back in 2018, saying: “Adding plus sizes to my line tripled my business. Why wouldn’t you do that?!” This season, when asked about diversity in casting, he echoed that sentiment, exclaiming that it was “so important!” Last week, the designer punctuated this belief visually by sending the same silhouette down the runway on two different body types. “I love how you can see they look amazing in the same dress, in the same look,” he told me backstage. When designers approach representation as part of their brand identity, it effortlessly translates to the audience. Both legendary R&B singer Monica and the Whoopi Goldberg independently praised Siriano’s commitment to making fashion for all backstage. “It was absolute elegance, and it was for every size, shape, color and creed, so many different types of women — and men! — in the show,” Monica noted. “Gives you all sorts of inspiration!” Goldberg summed it up even more succinctly: “Christian’s work just always inspires me and makes me so happy, because we can all wear it.”That type of organic inclusion was also evident in Chuks Collins’s striking presentation, which ranged from lush topstitched knits to sharp suits to stunning structured ballgowns, all shown on a range of sizes and body types. (Collins was heavily influenced by how scarification, purposeful, ritual, and otherwise, can play into the way we present ourselves to the world.)“I grew up seeing people that look like you, people that look like me,” Collins said. “My mom is not a size 2. My grandmother, who taught me to sew, she’s not a size 10. About 40 to 50% of my clients are plus size people. So I am not going to lie to myself and say ‘oh, my demographic, my ideal demographic is a size 2 to 4.’”For Collins, who started the brand in 2006, building a collection for customers of all sizes is both a labor of love and a practical financial matter — after all, he’s building a label he wants to last. “I have to create clothes that people see themselves in, that they want to wear. With that, I’m becoming a successful business,” he noted. “I also just love dressing people with curves, because that’s what I started doing, that’s how I started my career. So I’m not going to — because of what, industry standards? — I’m not going to include that? And I love women. I love beautiful women with curves. I tell the stories of how I feel, and my work is a representation of myself.” In the end, an outsized portion of the size diversity this season came from emerging designers and those making their CFDA debuts, such as Menyelek Rose of the eponymous label Menyelek. Designer Andrew Curwen, meanwhile, showed a sexy, directional, and haunting (complimentary!) collection. “Nocturnal Conditions” looked stunning on every figure, and the diverse cast (by F10 Casting agency) felt simultaneously natural and intentional. Camryn Mcclain of RENÉE NYC also cited body diversity as integral to her inspiration: “For casting this season, we focused on different characters of everyday people of various shapes and sizes that reflect what I see in the city,” Mcclain said. That thoughtfulness complemented a presentation of some of the most interesting knitwear I’ve seen lately, with bold braiding and fringe details rendered in rich jewel tones and gilded neutrals. “I want my collection to inspire and be inclusive for everyone,” said Veejay Floresca, another designer on the CFDA calendar for the first time. “I worked with my team to cast models across sizes, races, ages, and gender identities so that everyone can see themselves in the collection I created. It is so important to me that everyone feels beautiful and can express themselves freely and I hope my collection can bring this to all of my customers.” The casting fully reflected that, with a stunning range of bodies (including Project Runway star plus model Liris Crosse) all looking occasion-ready in sumptuous gowns and suiting. Floresca’s Project Runway mentor Christian Siriano was also in attendance, and it felt both poetic and prophetic that Floresca is also adding to the legacy of embracing true runway diversity. As New York Fashion Week wrapped, social media was only beginning to set itself ablaze with reactions to the new Netflix documentary centered on America’s Next Top Model, particularly the impossible beauty standards that persisted then and seem intent on making a vicious comeback today. While reactions to the show — and the harmful standards that were upheld in the era of ANTM — are rightfully horrified, it’s worth looking at the present in the same lens.Fashion is meant to be forward-looking, creative, and progressive, but all too often falls into the “that’s just the way things are” default. Designers letting themselves off the diversity hook now, thinking the current wave of regressive and exclusionary ideals will be an excuse, will inevitably find themselves on the wrong side of history. Sarah Chiwaya For now, the bright spots and the designers that see fashion for all will keep me going. As Curwen said after his show: “Those who are told ‘no’ the most in the industry are the ones we pay the most attention to.” In doing so, Curwen and designers like him set themselves apart from the crowded field of brands all targeting the least populous market (aka straight sizes). Here’s hoping the industry gets on board with this more expansive view of who belongs in fashion, and other designers see the opportunity that true inclusion presents, for both business and the human obligation.

21 Matching Lounge Sets & Sweatsuits To Cozy Up In For Winter

News Moderator - Tomas Kauer — Fri, 09 Jan 2026 11:00:09 +0000

As much as we love diving headfirst into the latest fashion trends, there’s no denying the magnetic pull of a matching set — from sweatsuits to loungewear — especially during the winter. They’re cozy, comfy, cute — and, when made with quality and care, built to last. Plus, they’re versatile! Toeing the line between sporty athleisure and polished co-ords, sweatsuits are the ultimate shortcut to looking casual yet put-together. Throw one on when you can't be bothered to style an outfit for running errands, going to workout classes, or attending a football game. Working remotely and need to feel slightly more “dressed” than your pajamas? Problem solved. And on travel days? Sweat sets are an MVP for curling up on chilly flights. (Bonus: You can break up a set and wear each piece separately, unlocking endless mix-and-match potential for those moments when you actually want to plan an outfit.)If you’re ready to retire those ratty, hole-y sweats that have seen you through college and countless days under your duvet (no judgment — we’ve all got that pair), consider yourself covered. Ahead, discover 21 cotton sets, waffle knit co-ords, and fleece layers for indoor hibernation mode and outdoorsy winter activities from retailers we love and trust, like Lululemon and Free People.All linked products are independently selected by our editors.

Sarah Snook won Best Actress in a Limited Series for All Her Fault, the Sinners cast won Best Casting Ensemble, and Jacob Elordi took home a statue for Best Supporting Actor in Frankenstein.

Winter is the season to create your own joy.The light dims, the temperatures drop, and suddenly the world asks you to become your own source of warmth. But joy in winter isn’t found — it’s self-initiated. It’s the glitter you swipe on for an office party, the text inviting friends over when the instinct is to hibernate, the little acts of glamour that lift your mood when the sun clocks out early.Although I live in sunny Los Angeles now — and this will be my third winter here — the New Yorker in me will never forget what the season truly feels like. I know the sharp bite of wind on your face, the sprint to the subway in a full-length puffer, the way a great coat can change your entire outlook on a day that feels impossibly gray. Winter requires resourcefulness. It asks you to participate in your own delight.For this year’s Winter Lookbook, we embraced that ethos and dreamed up five archetypes, each embodying a different response to the season: the woman who refuses to be cold yet refuses to look bad, the early-morning studio devotee, the holiday enthusiast, the effortless hostess, and the one who transforms entirely after dark. They each dress for the mood they want, not the weather outside; they layer textures, play with proportion, embrace metallics, and create their own glow in the darkest months. To bring this world to life, we partnered with three extraordinary artists:Stylist Christine Nicholson built a visual universe where winter dressing becomes totally reimagined. Think silver chainmail draped over soft knits, feathered headpieces that nod to another era, and sculptural accessories that redefine cold-weather glamour.Makeup artist Katie Jane Hughes reimagined holiday beauty with cool restraint. She showed us that luminosity doesn’t require heavy layers; sometimes, a shimmery lip and nearly bare skin is the boldest statement. Her rhinestone freckles for our Weather-Maxxer look were nothing short of magical.Nail artist Naomi Yasuda elevated winter manicures to high art, crafting everything from delicate reverse French designs to full-on disco-metallic sets that feel like jewelry in their own right. And beyond the holiday parties, there is the quintessence of winter dressing: New Year’s Eve. It’s a night I take seriously: the ritual of it, the intention behind it, the desire to enter the new year as the fullest, most expressive version of yourself.As you scroll, you’ll also find guides to braving the cold with style, ideas for hosting in chic winter whites, new ways to think about your nails and makeup this season, and fashion that helps you generate your own joy, no matter the temperature.Because winter doesn’t hand you delight — you have to make it — and this season, we hope these images inspire you to create more of it.

There’s always an element of theater, from the lighting to the guest list. This look leans into the moment with just the right amount of drama, without drifting into the territory of human holiday ornament. Styling: Bra, Araks. Top, Zankov. Skirt, Moncler. Jacket, Meruert Tolegen. Shoes, Jimmy Choo. Ear cuff, Paco Rabanne, courtesy of Albright Fashion Library. Earrings, Type Jewelry. Ring, Harkness Fine Jewelry. Ring, IVI Los Angeles. Rings, Nickho Rey. Anklet, Rainbow Unicorn Birthday Surprise. LOOK TWO Festive dressing should feel playful, not over-the-top. This is the kind of look that glows on a dance floor, yet still feels right at a holiday table. It catches the light without ever competing with it. Styling: Bra, Jane Wade. Jeans, Coach. Top, Paco Rabanne, from Albright Fashion Library. Sequin leggings, Paco Rabanne, from Albright Fashion Library. Hat, Gemsun. Shoes, Jimmy Choo. Necklaces and bracelet, Swarovski. Vintage choker, from Albright Fashion Library. Ear cuff, Paco Rabanne, from Albright Fashion Library. Earrings, Janis Savitt, from Albright Fashion Library. Rings and arm cuff, Rainbow Unicorn Birthday Surprise. LOOK THREE If you’ve ever been side-eyed for wearing black to a holiday party, we see you. The all-black uniform gets a festive lift here with sequins and quietly elegant accessories. Styling: Dress and pants, Marc Jacobs, courtesy of Albright Fashion Library. Shoes, Moschino, courtesy of Albright Fashion Library. Ear cuff, Paco Rabanne, courtesy of Albright Fashion Library. Earrings, Janis Savitt, courtesy of Albright Fashion Library. Headpiece, Palomo.

Styling: Top, Marge Sherwood. Muscle tee, Zadig & Voltaire. Cardigan, Magda Butrym, courtesy of Albright Fashion Library. Shorts, Kith. Stockings, Calzedonia. Flats, Charles & Keith. Rings, Lobeta. Ring, Nickho Rey. Earrings, Natasha Schweitzer. LOOK FIVE Some of us simply won’t tolerate being cold. If the temperature drops, we mentally relocate to Gstaad and reach for puffers that match the mood. Here’s a look that does it... without giving yeti. Styling: Jacket, Moose Knuckles. Leggings, Jacquemus, courtesy of Albright Fashion Library. Skirt, Miu Miu, courtesy of Albright Fashion Library. Sweater, Victoria Beckham, courtesy of Albright Fashion Library.

What, then, makes a good gift for the hard-to-please person?Whether you want to go down the route of practical gifts that they’ll definitely use on a daily basis or little luxuries that they’re totally deserving of, we curated a range of thoughtful gifts for your mom, best friend, grandmother, or any other special woman in your life worth buying.If they already have their go-to wardrobe essentials, look to upgraded versions of those — think cashmere wraps, sunglasses clip ons, black diamond hoop earrings, and patterned pajama sets. For the homebody, consider a towel warmer, red-light therapy panel, luxe laundry detergent set, or.

News Moderator - Tomas Kauer — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 11:00:11 +0000

When it comes to gifting, the best fashion presents are the ones that get real use — not just admired in the closet. And while the classic “new coat for winter” is always a safe bet, pairing it with the perfect bag? That’s where things get personal (and a lot more exciting).This season, DKNY makes it easy to match every personality on your list with its lineup of trendy outerwear and handbags. Think a tailored wool coat and structured tote for the minimalist who lives by a neutral palette, a belted plaid jacket and bold chain bag for the friend with an It-girl sensibility, or a snuggly sherpa and slouchy shoulder bag for the cozy queen whose entire personality revolves around soft, plush pieces. Whether you’re shopping for a ‘90s die-hard, a downtown-cool type, or someone who simply loves a good outerwear moment, consider this your shortcut to gifting something that’ll actually get worn (and photographed) all season long.For The MinimalistClean, classic, and all about quiet luxury — this pairing could’ve stepped right out of a ’90s style moodboard. The tailored gray wool coat brings timeless structure, while the chunky chain bag adds that touch of city sleek. Perfect for the friend whose wardrobe is mostly black, beige, or any perfected neutral.DKNY Single Breasted Wool Coat, $, available at DKNYDKNY Riona Flap Crossbody, $, available at DKNYFor The Cozy QueenShe’s the one who owns at least eight loungewear sets and believes coffee runs count as an outing. This snuggly sherpa coat with buckle details delivers full-on plush energy (essentially doubling as a fleece blanket), while the slouchy chain bag adds just enough edge to balance softness with structure. It’s that irresistible mix of tactile and cool — cozy textures paired with sleek hardware that make every errand feel considered.DKNY Zip Sherpa Jacket with Buckle Collar, $, available at DKNYDKNY Fiona Small Hobo, $, available at DKNYFor The It-GirlIf her FYP and IG saves are all street style snaps, this combo was made for her. The longline white puffer somehow delivers both unparalleled warmth *and* style. Offset the cozy outer layer with sleek accoutrements, like stirrup leggings, stilettos, and a chic tote with beautiful knotted detailing. This enviable blend of relaxed and refined gives “effortless,” despite totally being thought out.DKNY Silky Long Quilted Parka, $, available at DKNYDKNY Paula Small Commuter Tote, $, available at DKNYFor The Refined MaximalistShe never met a color she didn’t love — especially when it’s oversize and tactile. This rich Bordeaux duo is plush, dramatic, and imbued with Main Character Energy. The monochrome palette makes it the ultimate throw-on-and-go outfit that somehow feels elevated and styled to perfection (even if she's out the door in five minutes).DKNY Faux Teddy Fur Jacket, $, available at DKNYDKNY Medium Paula Commuter Tote, $, available at DKNYFor The Athluxe LoverShe’s the friend who always makes leggings look intentional. This glossy puffer nails the balance of form and function, while the metallic silver tote reflects her sporty-but-luxe sensibility — practical at heart, but with an eye for shine. Both pieces are wardrobe workhorses: the black puffer pairs with everything, and the tote transitions seamlessly from coffee runs to nights out.DKNY Funnel-Neck Lightweight Puffer Jacket, $, available at DKNYDKNY Hadlee Small Metallic Logo Tote, $, available at DKNYLike what you see?

Mia Goth Explains Hidden Details In Frankenstein Costumes: “That Was Deliberate”

News Moderator - Tomas Kauer — Sun, 16 Nov 2025 11:00:12 +0000

The newest adaptation of Mary Shelley’s timeless novel Frankenstein has captivated audiences, with director Guillermo del Toro’s film being praised for being mostly faithful to the source material. Starring Australia’s own Jacob Elordi as The Creature and Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein, somehow it’s Mia Goth, as Elizabeth Lavenza, who steals the show — adorned by Tiffany & Co. jewels and 19th Century gowns. Her extensive wardrobe for Frankenstein came from the mind of Emmy Award-nominated costume designer Kate Hawley, who has worked on projects such as The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power and Crimson Peak. Goth’s character Elizabeth has an interest in entomology and botany, so Hawley included nods to beetles and other insects through patterns and garment shapes. Along with wasp-waisted tight corsets, certain fabrics were also chosen to mimic paper-thin beetle wings. “With the green dress… that design was inspired by butterflies, and the patterns on butterfly wings,” Goth tells Refinery29 Australia. “[This] was something that Guillermo and Kate were exploring a lot with Elizabeth and [with] all of the costumes, everything was thought through.” To create unique insect-like patterns, Hawley studied both cellular structures and the anatomy of beetles. “It’s all about echoing those insect and beetle-like qualities, just fitted to the period,” Hawley says in the production notes. Jewellery was also key to defining Goth’s character, with her blue outfit featuring a Tiffany & Co. signature piece from the early 1900s. The Louis Comfort Tiffany necklace is made up of blue glass beetle motifs in a gold setting. “We wanted to pull pieces that were from the age of Mary Shelley so that you could study the choices our designers were making at that time,” Christopher Young, Vice President and Creative Director of Tiffany Patrimony and Global Creative Visual Merchandising, said in a press video. The result is what jewellers describe as blurring the line “between jewellery and art”. One of Elizabeth’s most striking dresses is her final look, a white dress where white satin ribbons wrap around her arms. Made to resemble surgical bandages, it pays homage to both Elizabeth’s fate and The Creature’s origin. “That was deliberate,” Goth says. “That was there to mimic The Creature and his band aids that he has when he’s first born.” This white dress also features multiple layers of fabric that capture the light in an interesting way, a design element thought through by both the costume designer and director. “Guillermo wanted Elizabeth to be very ethereal, and there’s an iridescence and ephemeral nature to some of those colours and fabrics that helped us [portray this],” Hawley notes. There’s also a religious nod in many of Elizabeth’s outfits, particularly seen through the use of bonnets. “Religious language is a big part of Elizabeth’s character, and that bonnet is like a halo,” Hawley explains. “Mia has such an amazing, mercurial face — one of the first fittings we had, we put that bonnet on her, and we put the yellow veil over her, and she just became this other creature.” While Goth jokingly tells R29 she couldn’t breathe in her restrictive wardrobe, stepping into the period pieces helped frame her performance as Elizabeth. “That was helpful, because that’s exactly how a woman in the Victorian world would feel, and it formed how I moved and how I sat,” Goth says. “I felt once I started to see where the costumes were headed, I found my character, Elizabeth, kind of from the outside in this time around. “So, [by] seeing what they were doing with her on the outside, I was then able to kind of figure out what was going on in the inside.” Frankenstein is streaming on on Netflix now.

“I Don’t Just Have To Be A Gymnast.” Simone Biles On Ice Skating, WAG Life & Her New Athleta Collection

News Moderator - Tomas Kauer — Sun, 16 Nov 2025 11:00:11 +0000

Simone Biles isn’t ready to get back in the gym yet. The Olympic gold medallist is the most decorated gymnast of all time and undoubtedly one of the most dominant and greatest athletes to ever grace sports, but these days, she’s taking time for herself. After competing for 22 years, Biles is on a “break” from gymnastics. Now, she’s focusing on hobbies like horseback riding, ice skating, pilates and long walks with her husband, Chicago Bears safety, Jonathan Owens. On NFL game day, you can find her on the field giving Owens a good luck kiss (his one pre-game superstition) and showing out in various football-appropriate ‘fits. Lately, football Sunday has turned into a who’s who of WAGs (wives and girlfriends) — celebs like Ciara, Hailee Steinfeld, Taylor Swift, and Normani are all partnered up with players — and their fashion makes weekly headlines. For Biles, game days are “so fun” but over Zoom, she says the attention is stressful: “I wish we didn’t have to walk the runway so much. I’m just there supporting my man.” It’s a good thing Biles has her own collection with Athleta to keep her looking good on game days. She even teased a custom Athleta look for the Bears’ upcoming faceoff against the Minnesota Vikings this weekend. Biles and Athleta have been partnering for years but this marks the Olympian’s second women’s and girls’ collection for the activewear brand. Like her last Athleta collab, the collection is affordable, size inclusive, and includes intergenerational styles as well as accessories. Whether you’re looking for soft hoodies, performance-ready tights (Biles told R29 that the Elation Ultra High Rise Shine 7/8 Legging is one of her all-time favorites), barrel-leg sweats, or a new fall jacket (the Sateen Bomber is another Biles must-have), Biles has you covered with pieces that are deserving of a game-day catwalk. Throughout our chat, Biles’ excitement for the collection is palpable but so is her joy for this current moment in her life. She’s letting herself be bad at things (“I’m learning every day!” she says) and she’s soaking in a softer, more “selfish” life. To put it simply, Biles seems free. It’s beautiful to behold, and even more inspiring that the woman who landed the hardest vault in the world so flawlessly that they renamed it after her is now happily losing at darts to her friends. After all of Biles’ public mental health struggles, the normal, quiet contentment she describes to me feels like her biggest win yet. Here, she talks more about her Athleta collection, how she really feels about being called a “WAG”, and supporting her friend and former teammate Jordan Chiles on Dancing With The Stars. Refinery29 Unbothered: Congrats on the collection! The pieces look so comfortable and chic. Tell me about this collection and how it aligns with how you approach working out. Simone Biles: It’s very different. It’s the boldest collection that we’ve had thus far. I’m obviously biased, but this is one of my favorite collections. We have followed some of the trends but really, I always say, that you can take it from the mat to conferences or whatever it is. It doesn’t have to be just for the gym. It’s my go-to travel style, as well as if I’m taking a pilates class with my husband. What are the pieces in the collection that everyone needs? SB: There’s a couple. I’m going to start with the sateen bucket bag. That is just such a fashionable piece. It’s just a really cute accessory. And I think people are going to love to layer it, as well as the Elation Shine Leggings, those have a subtle zebra print, which you can’t really tell until you’re up close. It just adds something extra without being overpowering. That’s really, really cute and fashionable. We have the sateen bomber jacket that in the fall and the winter, I just put over everything. We also have the Forever Fleece sweatpants, which are a barrel leg, and that is just so fun. What I love about Athleta so much is that everyone can wear it. We try to be inclusive — there’s extra extra small, all the way to extra large, as well as tall and petite sizing. And for me, at 4’8, that’s perfect. But then we got my girl, [Olympic swimmer] Katie Ledecky, over here, wearing tall. We don’t want it to be one size fits all. We want everyone to be able to rock it, especially through this fall and this winter weather. At the end of the day, I don’t just have to be a gymnast. I can do it all because I’ve seen us do it all.simone biles For so many of us, working out and going to the gym is a hobby or something we do to stay healthy. For you, it’s been your job. How do you separate the work of staying active from the joy of it and doing it just because it makes you feel good? SB: Now, I’ve started to explore other hobbies that still include working out, but it just looks a little bit different. Right now, although I’m not in the gym 24/7, I’m in my horseback riding lessons, and I’m about to pick up ice skating lessons because I feel like gymnastics, although it was working out, it was just it was so much fun for me and you don’t even realize you’re exercising. So I wanted to feel that similar feeling. I took up horseback riding because going to a gym for me and doing pilates and all that stuff seems a little bit scary and daunting, but if you put it as a hobby, and say “I’m working out for an hour or so,” it feels a little bit easier. I’m about to start doing my ice skating lessons. I’ve already called the ice rink. I know they’re tired of hearing from me [laughs]. What made you decide to do ice skating? SB: The rink is literally three minutes from my house and since I pass it all the time going to and from the airport, I’m like, okay, that’s going to be a fun, little hobby. I walk my dog and I have a weighted vest but just going on walks and seeing the leaves change in the fall is also fun for me. I don’t think I’m ready to just get into a gym just yet, unless it’s a girls’ activity and we’re doing pilates or we’re doing something cute. I don’t think I’m ready. I still want to have fun with it. Just random sidequests. I’m Canadian so I love to see Black girls doing winter sports. SB: Yes! We can do it all. I’ve never seen as much representation as I have these days, and it’s so exciting. It’s inspiring me. At the end of the day, I don’t just have to be a gymnast. I can do it all because I’ve seen us do it all. Yes, you can. One thing we love seeing you do is show up on NFL game days supporting your husband. Will we be seeing a custom Athleta game day set soon? SB: Yeah! It’s coming soon. We’re planning on not this weekend but the next weekend in Minnesota. A little custom bomber going on, okay! Got a little custom action coming. Take me through what goes on behind your game-day fashion. How do you put your outfits together for games? SB: I really try to base it on the weather and where they’re playing. My husband wants me to wear more navy and orange [for the team’s colors], but I’m always going with the blacks and the whites and the grays and the neutrals. I’m trying to implement a little bit more of the Bears’ colors. But other than that, I really base it off of the weather. I know later this year when we play in San Francisco, you can get a little bit more cute and fashionable, because for me, with my height, it’s so hard to be cute and look fashionable [in the cold] when I’m just going to walk around looking like a marshmallow. I try to implement certain things like that. But definitely, we have a couple things coming, and so I’m really excited about that. But weather first and foremost, and comfortability, comfortability, comfortability! And movement! I saw a headline today that said: ‘Is Simone Biles NFL’s Best WAG?’ How do you feel about that title? SB: I don’t know about that! We still got Ciara, we got Normani. We can all fit in that space! There’s room for all of us. It feels like there’s so much attention on WAGs, specifically football wives and girlfriends. How do you feel about the term WAG and being a part of that club with, as you said, with Ciara and Normani, and then there’s [Hailee Steinfeld and Taylor Swift] and all these people? SB: I don’t mind the word WAG, because really, I’m just showing up and supporting my husband. Although the fashion is so much fun to do, I’m really just there to go support my man, and that is really important that we get to show up and support one another. We’re always working so hard, and we have a limited amount of time with each other. We don’t know how long each of us are going to be professional athletes playing on a stage like this. So it’s really just fun for everyone to show up and support. I don’t mind sharing the space. It’s so much fun. But again, there are a lot of eyes. I can wear a sweatsuit like this to a game, but I was telling my husband that every time I go on the field, even though I’m just supporting you, photos are everywhere. And that part stresses me out, because I just want to be relaxed. At the last game, I just did a messy bun, a sweat suit, and that was that. But you always have to pop off and I wish we didn’t. I wish we didn’t have to walk the runway so much. I’m just there supporting my man, but I know how much it is going to be highlighted. I can imagine that it gets stressful, especially because it’s every week. SB: I’m only on the field because that’s my husband’s good luck thing. He knows that he has to have me on the sideline. He said that’s his one thing. He’s not superstitious at all, but he’s like, “I know I have to have my girl on the field, get that good luck kiss, and then we’re good.” If not, y’all would never see me down there. I would be up in the stands hiding like y’all would never see me. But that’s my husband’s thing so that’s why I do it. That is really sweet! SB: I’d be hiding. I don’t like the attention — never have, and maybe never will. That stuff stresses me out so bad, I will be hiding as much as possible. I don’t like all of this attention but you get used to it, I guess. But it’s stress! Anxiety! I just want to just go do my thing and watch in peace and quiet. Next year, I think I’m going to stay home for the away games. I just can’t do it. I’m just so stressed. There’s a lot of behind-the-scenes logistics that goes into it as well. It’s not the easiest to try to get me into a stadium, either. It’s really important to listen to your body and your mind, because that literally can change the trajectory of your life. Be selfish, show up for yourself. simone biles Speaking of stress, I’m also an anxious girlie. We’re Unbothered so we always like to do a Black girl mental health check in. You’ve been so outspoken about mental health and the importance of therapy, especially Therapy Thursdays. Is there a piece of advice or something you’ve learned in therapy that you can share with us, with our audience, who are mostly Black women? Give us some energy! We need it! SB: I would say the one piece of advice that I have is you have to take that mental time to yourself and those personal days, because it really does change how you feel, talk about yourself, what your life looks like. So I would say, take those personal days. It’s really important to stay in tune and to listen to your body and your mind, because that literally can change the trajectory of your life. Be selfish, show up for yourself. We’re so in tune with showing up for everyone else, but at the end of the day, we neglect a little bit of our personal space and our well being. You have to show up for yourself first and foremost. Put on your favorite tunes, some Cardi B. Women are so powerful. We can do anything we put our minds to. And showing up for yourself is a win. We have to put ourselves first. One of the things that is so inspiring about you is that you are the best. And in being the best gymnast in the world, the best athlete in the world, you inspire me to think I can be the best at what I do. But I also think of the pressure or expectation that comes with that. What’s something you’re just OK at, and is there freedom in being mediocre sometimes? SB: Every day with me and my husband, we’re learning new recipes. Since I’ve done my craft for so long, over 22 years, it’s really hard for me. I love learning new things, but I’m always learning, and keen to keep learning. It never ends. I’m learning every day. I know I’m not going to be the best at it. We even did a wine and sip the other day. Did my painting look the best? Absolutely not. But I don’t care. I’m not trying to be the best. I didn’t train 22 years to paint so it looks like what it looks like, and every day when I’m doing new recipes in the house, because now I love to cook, I love to cook, it’s OK. I’m even trying to get better at my makeup and my hair. I was just bugging one of my makeup artists yesterday, like, girl, you really try not to have me be great at makeup, because I keep asking you to send me the tutorial, and she finally sent it to me yesterday. So now today, I’m going to go look at it, and I’m going to go practice my makeup. We always have more to learn. I’m okay with that. I love playing darts. I love playing ping pong. At our new house, which we sign for next week, we have a ping pong table and a dart board. Am I the best at it? No, but it’s about making memories, having fun and just still learning. I love that but I can also picture the competitive spirit in you trying to come out at the paint and sip. SB: You know, that’s actually so funny, because everyone thinks I’m going to be so competitive at whatever we do, but I literally don’t care if I’m last place. Every time, I’m still going to play, I’m still going to have a good spirit, good energy, because it’s about making those memories. Obviously for them, they’re like, “I beat Simone Biles at something!” I don’t care. I don’t care. Let’s just have a good time. Let’s kiki, have a good time, good conversation, good vibes, good energy. And that’s a win in my book, because we’re not going to be good at everything. I’m incredibly gifted, and to do what I do every day has been such a blessing and to come out on top. But I also know that’s not normal. I know that’s very rare. So I’m just incredibly blessed and thankful. That’s inspiring that Simone Biles can be so chill about losing or being bad at something. SB: Yeah, well I never wanted to be the best at gymnastics. I just wanted to go to college, hopefully get a college scholarship, and that was it. Obviously, the cards fell in place, and I got to do way more than my wildest dreams. But even as a young girl, did I want to go to the Olympics? No. Every one of my teammates said that. So I said it. I don’t even know what the Olympics was. I saw it in 2008 on the TV. And I was like, Whoa. How’d they do that? But I didn’t even want to go there. At that point. I saw the girls [gymnastics team] and they went to Italy. And I was like, how do I go to Italy? I want to compete in Italy. I never wanted to go to the Olympics. You just dream big and dream bigger. You were dreaming dreams you didn’t even know you had. Speaking of your teammates, you competed on Dancing with the Stars and now so is Jordan Chiles. She’s killing it. Are you watching? How proud of Jordan are you? SB: Oh my god, I’m so proud of her. She’s totally in her element. This is what she was made to do. She’s always been an entertainer, and obviously that goes hand-in-hand with gymnastics. On floor [routines], we do have to entertain a little bit, but this is her space completely. And she gets to be 100% herself. People get to see her personality shine. It’s a little glimpse of what we’ve gotten to see over the past couple of years, but now she gets to share it with the whole world. Did you give her any advice going into the season? SB: She needed no advice. She is so confident in who she is, and her personality is so big. I was too shy for that. Now I think I’m a little bit more comfortable in who I am, but this is perfect for her. So there was no advice, just “good luck, have fun.” And I told her, “you’re going to be on that show one day.” And she’s like, “No, I don’t think so.” Girl, look at you now! I said “they’re going to keep asking you and bugging you to do it.” And she’s like, “No, I don’t think so.” And now she’s like, “why are you always right?” I know these things. It’s like a sixth sense. I love being the friend who’s always right. SB: Yeah, I get badgered about that a lot. “You’re just always right!” OK. And am!

The Best Red Carpet Looks At The 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards

News Moderator - Tomas Kauer — Fri, 07 Nov 2025 11:00:07 +0000

The 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards commenced Monday evening at the American Museum of Natural History to honor some of the fashion industry’s brightest designers across four main award categories. The nominees, all with more talent than one can bear, will be welcomed by a room of colleagues and supporters dressed in many of their invaluable creations that inspire and push the industry forward.Setting the tone for what is sure to be a fashionable affair, the red carpet with an American black tie dress code brought out our most sartorial savvy faves across industries for a night celebrating craftsmanship and design.
