"Shut . . . UP!" Anne Hathaway Just Took on the Pillow Challenge, Princess Diaries Style

Image
View this post on Instagram A post shared by Anne Hathaway (@annehathaway) on Apr 22, 2020 at 7:52am PDT Ladies and gentlemen, kindly join me in bowing down to Anne Hathaway , who just knocked Instagram's popular #PillowChallenge out of the freakin' park. The actress channeled her Princess Diaries character, Mia Thermopolis, to take on the social media trend, which challenges participants to transform a pillow into a stylish dress. All I have to say is: "Shut . . . up !" Whereas most #PillowChallenge acceptors have simply belted one pillow to themselves and called it a day, Anne somehow managed to fashion three cushions - two white and one blue - into a layered gown of sorts, and used accessories to truly unleash her inner Princess of Genovia. The 37-year-old star donned black sunglasses and headphones and wore her hair slicked back, just like she did while posing for the 2001 Disney movie's official poster. Plu

Troye Sivan's Nightly Skin Routine Includes Some Cult Favorites and a $326 Cologne

Image
Like many of us still struggling to make sense of this strange time, Troye Sivan is still adjusting to living back at home with his family in Australia - but at least he's not letting his skin-care routine slip through the cracks. In a new video for Harper's Bazaar , the singer gave fans a look at his nighttime routine, which is a combination of a some cult favorites, luxury products, and a few things he stole from his sister, Sage. Sivan starts off the 7-minute video by wiping down his face with Neutrogena Makeup Remover Night Calming Cleansing Towelettes ($6) before cleansing with Kiehl's Since 1851 Ultra Facial Oil-Free Cleanser ($21). He follows up by quickly shaving his face using Bulldog Original Shave Gel ($6), finishing with his sister's Glossier Soothing Face Mist ($15). The most interesting part of his routine, though, is toward the end when he reveals that he sprays himself with Fueguia Ett Hem Fragrance ($326) every night after coming across the fra

Nordstrom Is Making It Easy to Shop For Beauty Sustainably - Here Are Our Picks

Image
In 2020, we're happy to report that sustainable and accessible are (and should be) one and the same. Megaretailers like Nordstrom are making that possible. In celebration of Earth Day, Nordstrom rounded up all of its eco-conscious brands into one easy shopping destination, and we couldn't be more thrilled to see sustainable beauty products included in the mix. Brands like Tata Harper, Paula's Choice, and Indie Lee have been making waves in the industry for a minute now, but there's still a stigma that natural and sustainable products fall into "specialty" categories. In some cases, this can also mean "hard to find." But not this time. Now, when you're shopping for new shoes, clothes, and accessories, you can slip a few eco-friendly beauty buys into your cart, too. Ahead, we've rounded up our top picks from the site, including skin-, body-, and hair-care formulas. Just keep scrolling to shop them now. Source: https://ift.tt/2zmS07G

While Mondo prefaced his advice by saying you can do whatever you want with your hair, he explained that these tips can be helpful in picking the optimal hairstyle for you if you're stumped.

The $28 Sweats That Make Me Question If I'll Ever Need "Real" Pants Again

Image
Even before the world was staying home, you could find me curled up in my apartment in some iteration of comfy loungewear on any given night and every weekend. Some of it cute, but most of it questionable - mismatched pajamas or ripped and pilled sweats and trackpants. Then, when I started working from home daily and wearing lounge clothes on repeat, it got to me. While there is nowhere to go and no one to dress for , pleasing myself became enough of a reason to find a great pair of sweats that could serve both fashion and function. Turns out, the right pair was an unlikely contender I had snagged on a whim while walking by the Brandy Melville store in my neighborhood a few months back. Let me preface this by saying, I don't frequent Brandy Melville. It's not on my usual list of shopping destinations, and when I say a "whim," it is in the most literal sense of the word. I walked by on my way to pick up takeout, and there they were hanging in the window with a crop

See Barbie Ferreira's "Quarantine Givenchy Boot" Outfit in All Its Artistic Glory

Image
I'm sure Barbie Ferreira's latest Instagram put a smile on everyone's face. I couldn't help but break out into the widest grin when I saw her "Quarantine Givenchy Boot Piece" in all its artistic glory living on my feed this morning. Relatable? The fact that Barbie was wearing an oversize graphic t-shirt with a subtle tie-dye fade to it while cooped up at home. I mean, I'm pretty sure I just wore mine yesterday (or was it the day before?). Not so relatable? The fact that she's lounging around in boots that originally retailed for upwards of $1,500 and saw many red carpets in the highlight of their day. But alas, Barbie is an actress, and the Euphoria star has certainly mastered her own sense of style with the help of stylist Chris Horan . It's a look that I'd call high-fashion edge meets athleisure, and clearly her stay home aesthetic mirrors that to a T. While I'm definitely not in the market for her sea-green boots at the moment, I

Now, the designer is giving her fans and followers a deeper look into her life, from when she was young girl growing up in Connecticut to living in a Malibu mobile home (and everything in between), in her new book, “Betsey: A Memoir.” In the book, Johnson explains the timeline of launching and selling her eponymous brand, which was acquired by Steve Madden in 2010. Johnson still adds her creative input to this day as she works with different licensees and their designers on a range of products, including shoes, jewelry, dresses and more. Here, FN takes a look at even more surprising facts about Betsey Johnson: She was a design freelancer for years. Before launching her namesake label, Johnson designed different products for multiple clients, including shoes for

Supporting Independents: How Sarah Flint Is Saving Her Staff From Layoffs and Furloughs

Image
When Sarah Flint switched to a direct-to-consumer business model two years ago, the designer couldn’t have predicted the industry’s current situation. But the move has put her in the best possible position to weather the pandemic’s financial effects. “There has been a lot of uncertainty. People aren’t able to go to work or celebrate occasions and we make footwear that is for those things,” said Flint in a phone interview. “It’s been scary, but I think there’s still a lot of hope.” Though she has seen a significant drop in sales and longer shipment windows, Flint said she is still able to complete orders to customers due contingency planning. She added that while many companies have more than half of their businesses with department stores, being online-only has been a blessing. “We did anticipate this so we made changes early on,” she said. “We stopped boating our [made-in-Italy] product and aired it over to get spring in.” CREDIT: Courtesy of Sarah Flint To Buy: Sarah Flint’

With a new Quibi show on the horizon, a modeling career at its height and an 11-year-old daughter at home, one would think Denise Bidot would be overwhelmed by all that is on her plate, but it seems the plus-size model couldn’t be more ready. We had a chance to catch up with the star of “Fashion’s a Drag” amid a moment of downtime between at-home filming and homeschool teaching sessions. “Fashion’s a Drag” premiered on April 20 on the new streaming platform Quibi, centering on Bidot and her co-host, “RuPaul’s Drag Race” star Willam Belli, as they discuss the biggest news of the fashion world and shine a light on inclusivity and representation.
