There’s a moment in the life of every clotheshorse when a dedication to sartorial acquisition crosses into a different breed of hunger. For me, for a while, it was an altruistic mission. There I was, in a Thrift Town in San Antonio, Texas, in the late ’90s, a recent transplant from Hong Kong in my
Beauty
It may be April Fools’ Day, but this is not a joke. Rihanna just launched her first Savage X Fenty collection of 2024, and she looked incredible doing it. The Signature Script Collection is a full line of lace lingerie for everybody and every body. From slip dresses to bras and panties, the collection features
It’s no small wonder that there’s good shopping in Paris. Consider Le Bon Marché, Galeries Lafayette, or the iconic Champs Elysées, lined with high-end stores like Chanel, Dior, and Louis Vuitton, to name a few, and largely known as “the world’s most beautiful avenue.” But I’m going to let you in on a little fashion
A safe distance from the relentless madness of fashion month, COS strayed from the schedule and presented its spring/summer 2024 collection on Tuesday, March 26, in Rome. The London-based brand is known for elevated classics and laidback pieces that look as chic in meetings as they do at happy hour—and this season is no exception.
Believe it or not, Black people can get sun burnt. As a Trinidadian growing up on the Gulf of Mexico, much to my skin’s dismay, I know a bit about peeling skin from not religiously reapplying my favorite drugstore sunscreen. As a child, my mom would cut aloe straight from our garden and smear the
“French in London, English in Paris” is how Lily McMenamy sums up her identity. “Yet born in Pennsylvania with a Tunisian father!” She was also born into fashion, so to speak. Legend has it that as a baby, McMenamy “walked” the runway in the arms of her mother, supermodel Kristen. Years later, she made a
There’s no such thing as spoiling yourself too much. I’m a profound believer in buying myself a little treat here and there, but the only thing better than going out to a store to buy myself a present is finding one on my doorstep after a long day of work, just dying for me to
Welcome to Same Same But Different. As Gen Z and millennial fashion editors, respectively, we know a thing or two about shopping—for all ages, and especially our demographics. As we find the best products for you, we can’t help but do a little shopping for ourselves and build our personal (age-appropriate) wish lists. And now,
As a longtime seeker and sometimes finder, over the years, I’ve met with all matter of energy healers, past-life readers, and mediums. If it exists beyond the 3D, take me there. One place I never expected to uncover the secrets of the universe: within the Courier-font pages of declassified CIA documents, circa 1983. Buckle up—I’ll
Courtesy of Rosario Hevia In northern Chile, roughly 59,000 tons of secondhand clothing arrives in ships from the United States, Europe, and Asia every year. Some is resold, but what is unsalvageable, roughly 39,000 tons, ends up in a trash dump in the Atacama desert, a fashion graveyard in the driest desert in the world.
As a member of the wavy, unruly hair club, I’ve always envied folks blessed with naturally tamable locks (you know, those people who can run a few fingers through their wet hair, let it air dry, and still magically end up with silky strands). That was, until I found a way to fake being one
Hunter Abrams It was 2004, the year of “Nipplegate” at the Super Bowl halftime show and sexist late-night talk show barbs. Ambition, Tory Burch recalls, was a dirty word for women back then, to the point where she recalls “shying away when a journalist asked me [about it] in a sort of negative way” as
Tina Tyrell For Emily Weiss, founder of the billion-dollar beauty brand Glossier, motherhood can be summed up in a word: relinquishing. It’s “this relinquishing of expectation, of control, of plans,” she says. Giving birth to her daughter, Clara, in 2022 marked a transition from “spending most of my adult life being quite organized, ambitious, fast,
Amazon’s first-ever Big Spring Sale kicks off today and lasts through March 25. Along with discounts on top-rated sheets, spring fashion, and even shapewear, we spotted a special beauty deal that stopped us in our tracks: Over half off Revlon’s viral One Step 2.0 hair dryer brush. If you haven’t heard, one of 2024’s biggest
Courtesy of Argent In ELLE.com’s monthly series Office Hours, we ask people in powerful positions to take us through their first jobs, worst jobs, and everything in between. This month, we spoke to Sali Christeson, founder and CEO of Argent, the workwear brand beloved by women across industries, from comedian Amy Poehler to public servant
In her family, ELLE.com digital beauty director Danielle James is the resident skin-care expert—an ace at helping her loved ones build routines that work for their complexions and lifestyles. But she’s not the only woman in the family dropping wisdom; Danielle has learned plenty of valuable beauty lessons from them, too. Recently, she got together
I learned my first beauty lessons at the school of yearning and longing. There, I learned that beauty was “aspirational,” and I was only ever aware of how much I wanted to be beautiful, or perhaps worthy of love and celebration, when I felt empty. Beauty, as I knew it, wielded significant influence; an Achilles
Like many fashion editors out there, the thrill of finding high-quality, affordable pieces fuels my never-ending quest for jewelry. While I don’t even wear that much jewelry (my engagement ring and statement earrings are more than enough), the pieces I do own have been the product of nitpicky research for quality that doesn’t come at
The box holding Néroli Plein Sud—Guerlain’s latest fragrance—is a passport to adventure—the fragrance serving as the journey. The box resembles a sunset featuring a desert orange shade melding into the white and blue skyline. The artwork on the box holds a historical touch and is courtesy of author and adventurer Antoine de Saint Exupery, a
If your current earbuds run out of juice too quickly or you’re ready for an upgrade, we have great news: the Apple AirPods Pro is under $200 during the Amazon Big Spring Sale (March 20-25). Now that the official event is underway, score the second-generation Apple AirPods Pro for $60 off, making it easier to
Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. In the hands of Dries van Noten, a color combination that might feel “wrong” elsewhere became unaccountably, delightfully right: blood orange and toothpaste green, lavender and canary yellow, mahogany and lime. The Belgian designer, who announced today that he will be
One thing you’ll never hear me complain about is the arrival of another birthday. As someone whose mother died of breast cancer in her 50s, I know the hard way that getting older is a gift. My approach to aging has been to focus on being as healthy as possible on the inside, and assume
Reformation is likely already your one-stop shop for everything from wedding guest dresses to celeb-approved knitwear. But now, the fan-favorite label is truly checking off every sartorial box with its first foray into swimwear since 2019. Just in time for summer, Reformation dropped a new 19-piece collection of separates and one-pieces designed to fit seamlessly
At age 21, I was a doe-eyed college senior brimming with excitement to buy my first tequila shot. At 25, my focus shifted to nailing down my no-makeup-makeup look on Zoom, thanks to a global pandemic that derailed my plans to be “outside” post-breakup and, thus, led me to develop a mild addiction to tinted
As the saying goes, “You can’t have everything.” You can be born with beautiful eyes and poor vision; you can be tall but terrible at basketball; you can have an excellent voice and lack the ability to rap. In my case, I’m a beauty writer with access to a host of products—skin care, body care,
I love to walk. I would rather use my own two legs to get somewhere than a bus, car, or train. As a result, I have always lived in walkable neighborhoods and cities—even when I lived in Los Angeles, a city notorious for its lack of pedestrians. Now that I am on the East Coast,
“It’s actually quite stressful to constantly be thinking about the way you look instead of using that time to prepare for an interview,” 26-year-old Sirayah Shiraz from London tells me on the phone before heading to a press conference. Shiraz has worked in sports journalism for over five years but has been in front of
And with that, the 2024 Oscar Awards ceremony (and the award season) is officially over, but not without giving folks another chance to marvel at Cillian Murphy’s chiseled, perfectly engineered cheekbones or Coleman Domingo’s moisturized, expertly trimmed mustache. The race for the Academy Award for Best Actor in a leading role was a rough one.
Who better to pay homage to than yourself? Lupita Nyong’o did just that at last night’s Oscars ceremony. The Academy Award winner wore a custom Armani Privé sequin gown, encrusted with crystals and feathers, in Nairobi blue—a nod to the Prada dress that she wore in 2014 when she won for Best Supporting Actress. To
Lily Gladstone glided onto the red carpet Sunday evening for the 96th Annual Academy Awards looking as gorgeous as usual. The Killers of the Flower Moon actress, who is of Siksikaitsitapi and NiMíiPuu heritage, has already collected multiple accolades for her performance in the Martin Scorsese film, and she is the first Native American woman
