Women’s style

With more and more high-profile celebrities, from Michael B. Jordan and Timothée Chalamet to Pharrell Williams and Harry Styles, embracing the allure of jewellery like strands of pearls and blinged-out brooches, it goes without saying that men are feeling more comfortable expressing themselves with accessories. Tiffany & Co. is meeting this moment with the debut of the Charles Tiffany setting — its first engagement ring for men.

Named after the luxury brand’s founder Charles Lewis Tiffany (who introduced the women’s solitaire diamond engagement ring in 1886), the new design plays off the arresting silhouette of a signet ring — which has also had quite a moment in fashion circles in recent years. Featuring either a round brilliant or emerald-cut diamond in the middle, which can range up to five carats in size, the Charles Tiffany setting has a knife-edge band inspired by the New York-based company’s initial engagement ring style … Read the rest

Multi-talented journalist, brand founder and author David Yi is a beauty industry powerhouse. With over a decade of experience under his belt in the New York media space (where he’s written for publications like WWD and Mashable), Yi launched his own inclusive beauty site, Very Good Light, in 2016. His latest ventures include a new genderless skincare brand called Good Light and an upcoming book called Pretty Boys (to be released June 22).

Kicking off our series of brand founder interviews for Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, we caught up with Yi to chat all things beauty, including why he’s launched not one but two inclusive beauty brands, and how consumers can appreciate Korean beauty without fetishizing cultural practices and rituals.

Fashion’s biggest night had to be cancelled last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but the 2021 Met Gala is back. And while the show must go on, the star-studded fundraising event will look a bit different than it has in previous years.

Here’s what we know about the 2021 Met Gala so far.

When is the 2021 Met Gala?

Traditionally, the Met Gala is held on the first Monday in May at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. That’s not the case in 2021, however. Instead, the event will be held in two parts: A smaller, more intimate ceremony will take place on September 13, coinciding with New York Fashion Week, which will hopefully also be able to occur live (instead of completely virtually, as it has in recent seasons) in some capacity. This is all TBD based on evolving … Read the rest

Gen Z fave Emma Chamberlain was named Mane Addicts’ newest “Mane Muse.” The online hairstyling publication, which was created by celeb hairstylist and Ouai founder Jen Atkin, taps “celebrities and influencers that are standouts and trailblazers in the Gen-Z community,” so multi-hyphenate Chamberlain makes perfect sense as the brand’s first muse of 2021. (Previous title holders include Zendaya, Yara Shahidi and Addison Rae.) Chamberlain’s muse status comes with a fun photo shoot that features the YouTube star in a glam, early 2000s-inspired look (beaded choker included).
