Kelela Puts a Fiery Twist on a Simple Summer Slip Dress


Kelela is clearly a master at wearing white. Over the past few months, the singer-songwriter has seemingly only been pictured in the achromatic color: She’s performed onstage in white stand-alone puffy sleeves, she’s worn a lace-up Maryam Nassir Zadeh dress while on her way from San Francisco to Seoul, and she’s gallivanted about in northern France in a creamy Lado Bokuchava dress with built-in sleeves. Even when she does add a pop of color to her wardrobe, as she did recently in Ireland in an Alex Mullins jumpsuit with a bright, almost tropical print, the fundamental color of the garment is—you guessed it—white.

With her latest Instagram photo, Kelela yet again subtly disrupts this all-white streak to great effect: She added some fiery flair to a classic white slip silhouette in Osaka, striking a pose in a breezy Priscavera dress embellished with orange flames that flowed upwards from the hem. Leave it to Kelela to give a typically sweet piece just a tad more bite.

Nicole Kidman Wears Fresh-Off-the-Runway Dior to Comic-Con



With the 2018 Comic-Con International festival in full swing, a slew of A-listers have made their way to San Diego, California, to debut their new films and participate in cast panel discussions. Nicole Kidman attended the festival yesterday for her new film, Aquaman, where she talked her new project alongside stars Jason Momoa and Amber Heard. But there was no cosplay or superhero-inspired garb here—unless Superwoman wears fresh-off-the-runway Dior looks.

For the appearance, Kidman wore a cotton tulle-embroidered dress with transparent sleeves from Christian Dior’s Cruise 2019 collection (Look 15), styled with a thick black leather belt. Designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri, the Cruise collection was inspired by escaramuza, the Mexican sport featuring female rodeo riders, which resulted in voluminous silhouettes paired with structured jackets. Kidman kept the look relatively simple, wearing it exactly how it was shown on the runway, save for the traditional escaramuza hat. She did, however, add simple embellished sandals, also by Dior, to give the ensemble more of a red carpet feel.

Lizzo Shares an Exclusive Tour Photo Diary and Recap Video—And They’re Totally OTT


Supporting Haim on tour is a daunting task, particularly when it comes to one’s tour wardrobe—if Este, Danielle, and Alana are going to appear onstage in custom Chloé looks, how does one compete? But few artists are more poised to hold their own than Lizzo, whose sense of confidence radiates from both her music—her recent music video for “Truth Hurts” is a case in point—and her custom, curve-hugging looks, styled by the ever-boundary-pushing multi-hyphenate Brooke Candy.

Lizzo, fresh off her tour with Haim, has now shared an intimate photo diary that showcases her over-the-top sense of style and similarly outsize personality. From striking a pose in a bright blue lace-up bodysuit to hanging out backstage in sheer ruffled off-the-shoulder pieces, Lizzo clearly knows how to make a fashion statement. Her custom pink rhinestone-adorned bodysuit (designed by Seth Pratt) that she debuted last year makes a notable appearance as well. Take a look at her glamorous tour photo diary above, and watch her tour recap video below to learn more about how she stays present and empowered on the road—or if you just want to see all of those rhinestones in action.

Kendall Jenner Makes a Patriotic Street Style Statement, Just In Time for Memorial Day



After a whirlwind week in the South of France for the Cannes Film Festival, Kendall Jenner is back on American soil, specifically the sidewalks of New York. It seems the model is already flying her international fashion flag high in an American-meets-Parisian mashup of sorts: When she stepped out today in Manhattan, she sported a vintage Jean Paul Gaultier sweater modeled after the U.S. flag for a patriotic street style statement in the lead up to Memorial Day.

The look felt all the more homegrown thanks to her classic blue jeans—an all-American wardrobe staple, if there ever was one. Jenner kicked the off-duty ensemble into high gear with Givenchy boots, then carried a Prada nylon bag, which was a welcome change of pace from her ever-present fanny pack. And while the overcast skies and 60-something temperatures in New York didn’t exactly scream “long weekend,” Jenner worked in a subtle vacation-ready touch in the form of tinted shades that felt like a welcome salute to the summer months ahead.

Børns’s Leg-Revealing Coachella Look Proves Men Can Wear Short Shorts, Too



Who wears short shorts? Børns wears short shorts! This past weekend at Coachella, Garret Borns—the artist known as Børns, a man with lush Aphrodite tresses and a siren’s voice—wore a deliciously risqué Gucci outfit that included a pair of Daisy Dukes. The micro shorts showed off Børns's hunky hamstrings, which he told Vogue.com, stay toned and limber through regular yoga: “Flexibility and balance make a huge difference in a performance for me.” Another bonus point for the thigh-baring ensemble? Børns claimed his defined gams glistened thanks to “a mixture of hot desert sun and adrenaline.” Noted.

It’s not the first time that a man has worn tiny cut-offs. The men’s runways were filled with itsy bitsy shorts for Prada Fall 2018 and at Gucci Spring 2018. But Børns’s get-up was a new kind of daring—not only due to the amount of leg exposed, but in its color choice, too. He opted for rose pink, a hue that his stylist Kat Typaldos says was a way for the look to “really pop against the desert style.” And while most men might not be as bold as Børns to show off their cared-for calves and god-like quadriceps, the entertainer left us with one last piece of short shorts wisdom. “Remember, your legs are the pillars to your temple,” he says. “Let them be free and the rest of you will follow.”
