Hilary Duff looks phenomenal in metallic chainmail dress for show-stopping AMAs return

Hilary Duff certainly knows how to make an entrance after her show-stopping return to the American Music Awards on May 25. The singer and actress, 38, made her first appearance at the event in 21 years, and she arrived looking every inch the star that she is. Hilary looked incredible in a silver metallic Rabanne gown that skimmed her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit-worthy physique. The striking chainmail dress featured a plunging sweetheart neckline and a subtle slit that exposed her matching silver open-toe stilettos.

Allen, the comedian and media executive who founded Allen Media Group, told NPR that his Comics Unleashed show would avoid the political satire that became central to Colbert’s, particularly during Donald Trump’s presidencies. “At the end of the day, I’m not trying to replace Colbert,” Allen, 65, told the public broadcaster ahead of his show’s debut on Friday. “I am not trying to hold on to his audience because Comics Unleashed has been around 20 years and has its own audience. And we’re speaking to people who have been ignored. And good luck finding another show that’s had on more comedians of every shape and size and colour.” Comics Unleashed, launched in 2006, features Allen alongside a rotating panel …

Shein Buying Everlane Actually Makes Perfect Sense

Shein Buying Everlane Actually Makes Perfect Sense

On Friday, the ultrafast-fashion giant Shein finalized its acquisition of Everlane, a US clothing retailer that made its name by promising “radical transparency” into how its clothes were made. Neither company disclosed the price of the deal, but Puck reported last weekend that it clocked in at $100 million. Founded in 2010, Everlane became synonymous with a certain strain of millennial consumerism that was supposed to be the exact opposite of Shein. It mainly sold elevated basics, and told a generation of anxious and high-minded shoppers that they could feel morally good about buying yet another pair of plain ballet flats or black high-waisted skinny jeans. Shein, by contrast, became notorious by flooding the internet with astonishingly cheap, trendy clothing produced at enormous scale. It has been criticized for years for alleged poor labor practices. Given how differently Shein and Everlane positioned themselves, many people online felt the acquisition fell somewhere between darkly ironic and outright dystopian. The fashion writer Derek Guy, better known online as the “menswear guy,” articulated the vibe in a post …

Meet the iconic 80s supermodel who ruled the runway the year you were born (and what she’s doing today)

Meet the iconic 80s supermodel who ruled the runway the year you were born (and what she’s doing today)

Better known as the decade of decadence, the 1980s didn’t just change fashion; big players of the era created the rise of the elite supermodel.  With towering height, unforgettable runway walks and larger-than-life glamour, the decade’s biggest modelling icons became as famous as movie stars, redefining beauty trends for an entire generation.  From Paris catwalks to glossy magazine covers and New York streets, these women ruled the fashion world long before social media turned influencers into tastemakers and global stars.  Names like Linda Evangelista and Cindy Crawford dominated the space for the entire decade, but for each year, a standout woman was leading the charge. Let’s see which iconic supermodel was ruling the runway in the year you were born… © Sports Illustrated via Getty Ima 1980 – Christie Brinkley Achieving icon status at the turn of the decade, Christie Brinkley secured her spot as the most famous face of 1980, after she was booked for an unprecedented three consecutive Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue covers.  She was known for defining the era’s sunny, athletic, and …

Oh, and FYI — prices are accurate and items in stock as of time of publication. Haven’t you heard, it’s the year of whimsy? Although, admittedly it’s hard to maintain a whimsical attitude when I just left my house for two hours and came back drenched in sweat. Seriously. If it wasn’t for the fact I’m wearing head to toe cotton, I would have possibly passed out on the bus. And that’s not even me being dramatic. Ladies and gentlemen, we have officially reached the point in the year when it’s socially acceptable to wear as little as possible. And while I can’t say I love the aspect that means I get severe boob sweat when I walk even a few paces, I am an avid dress lovers, so I’m …

Relief all round as Bad Bunny brings back regular-length shorts | Men’s fashion

Relief all round as Bad Bunny brings back regular-length shorts | Men’s fashion

Men can breathe a huge sigh of relief this week, thanks to Bad Bunny, whose debut collection for fast fashion company Zara includes a pair of shockingly normal mid-thigh shorts. While for the last few years, short-shorts have threatened to make every day a leg day, the sight of the Puerto Rican star wearing shorts that come comfortably to within a few inches of the knee will signal a welcome shift for many. Grigor Dimitrov, also in regular-length shorts. Photograph: Matthieu Mirville/DPPI/Shutterstock Bad Bunny, or Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, is not alone in his relatively modest hemline choice. As Hikmat Mohammed, beauty editor at Vogue Business, points out: “All the tennis players have been wearing longer shorts recently.” Grigor Dimitrov suffered a shock loss at Roland Garros this week wearing shorts a similar length to Ocasio’s. “I don’t really think anybody should be wearing long shorts,” says Mohammed. “However there does seem to be a natural move for men.” He thinks it has to do with “relaxation, feeling maybe more comfortable in your body; it’s …

The babydoll is back – and so is the moral panic | Fashion

The babydoll is back – and so is the moral panic | Fashion

In the music video for her recent single Drop Dead, pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo saunters beguilingly through the ornate rooms of the Palace of Versailles, her eyes fixed on the camera. It is an all round soft-girl production, shot by Petra Collins who captures a hazy teenage aesthetic close to a carbon copy of Sofia Coppola’s 2006 film, Marie Antoinette. But when the video aired last month, it was met with instant backlash online – not for her halting tourists from visiting the world heritage site for the day, but for Rodrigo’s Pinterest-inspired, pastel blue, babydoll ensemble. The outfit – a floaty off-the-shoulder Chloé pre-fall 2026 babydoll top, styled with silky bloomers peeking out underneath and white pointelle knee socks – did not impress the keyboard warriors (likely, bots), who accused the singer of infantilising herself and invoking a ‘Lolita’ aesthetic. A few weeks later, Rodrigo donned a similar look (pictured top) on stage in Barcelona for Spotify’s Billions Club Live concert: a pink and white floral puff-sleeve babydoll top with matching ruffled bloomers from …

Is Demna the Ryan Murphy of Fashion?

Is Demna the Ryan Murphy of Fashion?

My mom first took me to New York in the summer of 2011. Naturally, we hit Times Square first—a perfunctory ritual for any virgin tourist. I felt like I’d stepped into a Nam June Paik video installation where competing billboard ads for American Eagle, Domino’s, and Glee coalesced into a chorus of commerce, hijacking my attention from all angles. I had found the control room of the monoculture. When Demna took over Times Square for his first Gucci cruise show this week, he clarified his intentions for reviving the brand: Gucci should be everything, everywhere, all at once, coming at you 24/7 in 8K and surround sound. He called the show “GucciCore,” and even from the livestream, the spectacle was awesome: a smirking Tom Brady garbed as a Gucci’d down leather daddy; Mariah Carey, Kim Kardashian, and Lady Bunny seated front row; 50 screens blasting ads for fake Gucci products. At the Italian label, Demna is evolving the populist approach to fashion that became his signature at Balenciaga. But this time he’s abandoning the high-minded …
