New Style Idea

Kate Upton did not mess around when it came to Halloween this year. Joining her husband Justin Verlander and their daughter, the group decided on a family theme inspired by “Monsters, Inc.” For the holiday, the model herself transformed into Mike Wazowski with a full incognito costume complete with the character’s signature round body and clawed feet. Verlander also was unrecognizable in his Sully costume while their daughter channeled Randall from the film and a family friend went as a member of the movie’s hazmat security team.

Showing off her shopping find on Instagram, the model paused for a quick dressing room selfie in her new leopard print outerwear from Saint Laurent; the collared  $3,890 design  included structured shoulders, double pockets and layers of tan suede fringe

“Everybody says the same thing, that this milestone is quite extraordinary. It seems to me like 50 days or months. I’ve been having such a divine time – bad times, too. In my mind, 50 years is a lie.” Manolo Blahnik  is Zooming in from his Bath, England, home, and the 78-year-old shoe legend is feeling particularly energized after receiving his coronavirus booster shot on this late October day. Off camera and masked up, Blahnik — who’s working alongside eagle-eyed house historian Jamie Prieto — frets about his voice, clearly frustrated about having to talk through a computer screen. The charismatic designer, reluctantly, has spent nearly two years online now — using technology to work with the factory on crafting his collections, since in-person visits haven’t been possible due to “this terrible disease.” “It’s so rewarding to talk to them — they know how I cut, they know how I put the colors [together]. They’re my best people. They’re artisans, and I love them. The factory is the

While she has been known to go above and beyond for Halloween, Kylie Jenner decided to keep things surprisingly casual this year. The media personality joined her daughter, Stormi, and beau, Travis Scott, for a more intimate Halloween celebration last night. Jenner, who is expecting her second child with Scott, decided to go as a classic cat, modeling a baby bump-hugging catsuit and platform combat boots courtesy of Prada. Her costume also included a leather jacket and, of course, black cat ears. As for Travis Scott, the rapper went as Michael Myers in a face mask, varsity jacket and surprisingly buzzy Nike Dunks.

To announce the news, Kylie tackled the theme of the collection with ease in a very Kardashian twist on a

Katy Perry may have just discovered the most 2021 costume to exist for Halloween. The “Firework” singer , alongside her fiancé Orlando Bloom, decided to go as a doctor and a vaccine for this year’s holiday. For her look, Perry wore a full shot costume complete with her name branded as “Katy & Perry” for a twist on Johnson & Johnson. Her outfit came complete with a face mask and bright blue sneakers while Bloom’s ensemble included scrubs, a white coat and Crocs. View this post on Instagram A post shared by KATY PERRY (@katyperry) Perry’s choice of costume comes as no surprise — the musician is known for her wild looks and love of dressing up. On the last season of “American Idol,” for example, she took her style to the next level in the most unexpected way. The “Daisies” musician transformed into Tinkerbell from Disney’s “Peter Pan” in a themed green glittering minidress; Perry even bleached her eyebrows and donned a pair of dramatic

Not that anyone is surprised, but Rihanna won Halloween again. This year, the “What’s My Name” singer decided to emulate her fellow musician, Gunna, with an eerily realistic recreation of one of his most infamous looks. For the costume, Rihanna modeled a Dior sweater layered under a leather vest and endless chain necklaces; the look also included knee-length shorts and designer shades.

The knee-high leather sneakers offered a unique appeal, set atop a white stacked midsole with a coordinating cap toe and contrasted by a pant-like widened shaft. Though the “Umbrella” singer deemed them “the Gunna’z” on Instagram, the pair actually comes from designer Rick Owens.

During his 50th anniversary year, Manolo Blahnik is celebrating big — but the shoe legend finds it hard to believe it’s been five decades since he got his start. “Everybody says the same thing, that this milestone is quite extraordinary. It seems to me like 50 days or months. I’ve been having such a divine time – bad times, too. In my mind, 50 years is a lie.” Reflecting on the year so far, the designer talks about a new way of working during the pandemic, a huge moment with Kamala Harris, his special anniversary Gold Collection and why his new flagship on Madison Avenue is so meaningful. The Quarantine Year While the world was on lockdown in 2020, Blahnik spent time at his homes in Bath, England and the Canary Islands. While some rituals didn’t change — he continued to sketch every day and be entertained by his loyal dogs— others did of course. Instead of staying up past midnight in his beloved factory, the designer resorted to zoom calls with his team. When he wasn’t working,

An attention-grabbing documentary. A global museum exhibit. Star-studded collaborations. The 2010s were frenetic — and unforgettable — for the designer. Here, Blahnik talks about “The Boy Who Made Shoes For Lizards,” “The Art of Shoes” exhibit — and working with Rihanna and Demna Gvasalia. Plus, the designer reveals the real story behind Kate Moss’ wedding shoes. Kate Moss Walks Down the Aisle in Blahniks, But the Shoes Almost Didn’t Arrive In 2011, when the designer was asked to craft the perfect pair of wedding shoes to match Kate Moss’ John Galliano dress, he was all in. “We finished the shoe and the heel was full of pearls, [placed] one by one,” Blahnik recalled. “And then the day before, she tried them on and she said, ‘Oh my shoe is catching on the dress. I have to have it with no pearls.’ So we got another version, and [a team member] came back on the last plane from Milan with the new shoes for the wedding the next morning.” The designer remembered having the “most beauti
