Move over, lingerie dressing. As the holiday season draws near, another major trend is continuing to build momentum — and now it’s being endorsed by pop music royalty. Fringe has been popping up all over for the past year, from high-fashion runways to the collections of your favorite accessible brands. Part of the larger Fall/Winter theme of richly tactile surfaces and movement, this ‘70s staple now takes a more opulent form, and Beyoncé’s hula-inspired fringe skirt from Jay-Z’s Los Angeles concert is the ultimate example.

When it comes to Halloween, nobody does a coordinated friends costume like Benito Skinner and Mary Beth Barone.In recent years, the two comedians, actors, and Ride podcast co-hosts—who are also real-life BFFs—have nailed the storied art of incredibly niche, highly specific, social media brainrot Halloween costumes. In 2021, they paid homage to Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian; In 2023, they dressed up as Kylie Jenner and the Schiaparelli lion. What a roar! This year, they even recreated the iconic exchange between Dakota Johnson and Ellen DeGeneres (on her daytime talk show Ellen) in which Johnson quipped, “That’s not the truth,…

Kardashian has a long, dappled history with shorter hair. Back in 2015, she debuted a textured lob for Kanye West’s first Yeezy show, before embracing a sharper, angled shoulder-length cut in 2016. By 2018, she had gone shorter still, experimenting with razor-sharp blunt bobs that barely grazed her shoulders. In 2023, she revamped the look with a jaw-skimming cut. And earlier this year, she arrived at the Vanity Fair Oscars party with a tousled, collarbone-length clavi-cut, before trying out an icy-blonde chin-length bob over the summer. Kim Kardashian always seems to find her way back to the short and sleek.And…

From a dermatologist’s perspective, that is particularly…
What if there was a world where only women existed? How would that impact how women dressed at night? Florentina Agu, founder and creative director of Hertunba, asked. Those questions formed the basis of Agu’s spring 2027 collection titled, which dreams of a women-led, liberated society where fashion is no longer policed and women are free to be “daring and bold.”As a firstborn daughter growing up in a religious and strict household, Agu has some personal hurdles she wants to overcome, and she used this collection as a stepping stone. “Even with all my independence and mental liberation, I can’t…
When you think of the Oshobor brand, drama comes to mind. “People like to lean into the conversation that less is more,” said Peter Oshobor, founder and creative director of the label. “I’m a maximalist, and I like to believe there are many other maximalists out there too.” This season, he was keen to continue the conversation that his last collection started, one of mystery, spiritual awakening, and magic. The show began on a strange and eerie note. Backstage, he explained his desire to mirror the closing look of his spring 2026 collection, which saw a model walking down the…
One and Done: Anastasia Beverly Hills Genesis Eyeshadow PaletteAnastasia Beverly HillsGenesis Eyeshadow PaletteAllure associate social media manager Katie Gunderman after applying the Anastasia Beverly Hills Genesis Eyeshadow Palette Katie GundermanWhy it’s worth it: Circa 2016, cut creases were all the rage, lip combos came in coordinated “kits,” and the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade was the product for sculpting brows.
