Versace Spring 2020; Image: Imaxtree It’s pretty much official: summer vacation is canceled for 2020. Even once we’re able to go out again, we’ll still need to practice social distancing.

Vogue Japan Opts for Another Multi-Model Cover for June 2020

We have always been down for a good ol’ Vogue Japan x Luigi & Iango moment. But the duo’s multi-girl covers for the Japanese fashion bible often fall flat. This year’s March cover was disappointing, last year’s September offering wasn’t much better and not even the likes of Irina Shayk and Imaan...

8 Hassle-Free Self-Tanners for an Instant Goddess Glow

There’s nothing like the anxiety you get every time you try out a new self-tanner. Will it come out streaky? Orange? Will it smell funny? Is it going to get all over my clothes?

As if you weren’t already on the struggle bus, between the self-tanning mists, sunless lotions,...

20 Mother’s Day Gifts She’s Guaranteed to Love

While traditional Mother’s Day gifts are well and good, this year it’s time to think outside the box of chocolates. We’ve got nothing against candy, flowers or a simple card, but why not curate your gift to your mom’s personality? Got a mom who’s trendy AF? Hook her up with a stylish hat. Does she love perfume? Give her a fresh scent to rock straight through summer. If she’s a lipstick lover, a ruby...

Freja Beha Erichsen and David Sims Team Up for Prada’s Pre-Fall 2020 Campaign

We were definitely disappointed when Miuccia Prada ditched Steven Meisel as Prada’s campaign photographer back in 2017. Since then, we’ve endured several underwhelming Willy Vanderperre campaigns, witnessed a Drew Vickers and Keizo Kitajima pairing and tolerated Jamie Hawkesworth’s Spring 2020 offering....

How to Master an At-Home Bang Trim

Image: Imaxtree Since most of us can’t head to the salon right now to get a haircut or even a quick trim, we’re having to become a little resourceful a la Bella Hadid.

Jennifer Lawrence Stars in Christian Dior’s Vintage-Inspired Pre-Fall 2020 Campaign

Since taking over the helm of Christian Dior back in 2016, Maria Grazia Chiuri hasn’t exactly received a great deal of praise when it comes to the brand’s advertising campaigns (or collections for that matter). It’s always more of the same old, same old — from repetitive model choices to the use of...

11 Going Out Tops for When We Can Go Out Again

All the May 2020 Magazine Covers We Loved and Hated

Most glossy magazines plan issues in advance so it’s not surprising that many of the covers for May 2020 seem tone-deaf. Just like the rest of us, most models, photographers, designers and stylists are practicing social distancing. That means that fancy photoshoots aren’t really an option. When it comes to this month, there were some standout May 2020 cover stars, including Greta Thunberg and Helen...

Get Ready to Show a Little Skin Because Cut-Outs Are About to Be Everywhere and on Everything

We know that cut-outs are nothing new. They’ve been popping up on the runways for a few seasons now. But at the Spring 2020 shows, they seemed more omnipresent than ever. Not that we’re complaining.

Joey Yung Poses in Gucci on Vogue Hong Kong’s Sleek and Minimal April 2020 Covers

Before You Wax: 7 Products That Make At-Home Hair Removal a Breeze

Tank Tops Are to Spring and Summer What Turtlenecks Are to Fall and Winter

All too often, we’re (overly) obsessed with trends. What’s hot and what’s not is what matters. But there are certain staples every wardrobe should have in its repertoire. We’re talking turtlenecks, tailored blazers, jeans and, the most underrated of them all, tank tops. While you may have a slinky camisole or two, it’s no replacement for a classic tank top. When we say classic, we mean no OTT frills...

Jihyo Serves Face on Allure’s May 2020 Cover

11 Bralettes for When You Just Can’t Deal With Underwires

Voluminous Dresses Are Our New Quarantine Uniform

Now that we’re cooped up at home, we have time to try lots of things we never would have dared. Take voluminous dresses.

We’re all for magazines giving celebrities new looks and Interview gave Selena Gomez a makeover to mark her appearance on its Spring 2020 edition.
