Priyanka Chopra’s Day Date Beauty Strategy Is Your New Summer Go-To

Sometimes, scene-stealing summer beauty is as simple as honing in on a buoyant color palette. The point was proven today by Priyanka Chopra, who took to the streets of Paris—husband Nick Jonas in tow—with pops of pink that played off of her ensemble.

A blush-toned skirt suit served as a jumping off point for the effortlessly romantic look, Chopra's glossy brunette mane was pulled back into a mid-level ponytail, characterized by a bit of volume at the crown, that ensured focus fell on a berry-stained pout. The only aesthetic rival? A petal pink polish job, the hue swiped across fingers and toes to saccharine effect.

Though Chopra's outfit didn't call for sandals, a pair of transparent heels kept the pedicure on display—furthering the actress's legs-for-days agenda in the process. Accessorized with gilded hoops, slim sunnies, and a slice of midriff, consider this City of Light look—or simply a personalized play on pink—a go-to for your next afternoon rendezvous.

Swae Lee, Reformed Sneakerhead, Is Now Making the Case for Rappers in Heels

As Swae Lee combed through the clothing racks in his expansive closet before the Grammys in February, he boldly proclaimed that men don’t know how to dress. He’s clearly the exception to this rule, though, as he proved that night. For the awards show, he chose his favorite piece: a lacy white shirt that he insisted was unisex. Lee anticipated Instagram comments from people bemoaning the fact that he stepped out in a women’s shirt, but he persisted. “It’s 2k19 boy, it’s unisex, alright? Get with it.”

Lee has just taken this agender approach to dressing to new heights in a literal sense. He debuted a head-to-toe oxblood-colored outfit on Hollywood Boulevard yesterday, combining a bowling shirt, a Gucci belt, a well-tailored pair of slacks, and his signature pile of chains with patent leather heeled boots. It’s rare to see a rapper donning such towering footwear (especially for a sneakerhead like Lee) but men in heels is definitely becoming a thing again—just take Xavier Dolan’s Cuban heeled leather Christian Louboutin oxfords that he wore to Cannes last week, or American Horror Story actor Cody Fern’s Tabi boots from the Golden Globes red carpet. Lee might not be the only man keen to add a few extra inches, but he’s one of the first to bring heels into the world of contemporary hip hop. It’s only a matter of time until, to borrow a phrase from Lee himself, his peers get with it. In the meantime, we’ll be patiently waiting for Lil Uzi Vert to step out in some platforms.

Of Course Rihanna Pulled This Super Bold Look Off the Runway

When it comes to fashion, Rihanna is fearless. She is the ultimate style shape-shifter: she’ll go from a breezy, beachy look to suited-up tailoring with complete ease. She loves switching up her aesthetic and taking a risk with her outfits, and rarely has it not paid off. Her latest challenge? Taking one of the boldest, most over-the-top looks from the recent Fall 2019 runways and managing to make it look completely wearable on the streets. And without a doubt, she pulled it off.

Spotted in her home of Barbados, where she took in a Buju Banton concert, Rihanna wore a look from Off-White’s recent Fall collection, which was first shown in February in Paris. The Virgil Abloh–designed ensemble—a floor-length jacket, hot shorts, and booties all in the same checkered print—is one of those tricky runway styling jobs that’s purposefully pushed to the extreme. Yet Rih wore it exactly as shown, committing to the designer’s original head-to-toe take. And, magically, she made it look super casual in the process. Now, any average person would maybe take one graphic piece and incorporate it into their wardrobe. But Rihanna? She’s a master of extremes.

Christian Louboutin’s First Trip to Nashville Included Dinner With Dolly and a Blowout Party

An instantly recognizable signifier of fabulosity, Christian Louboutin’s iconic red-soled heels have traveled the world. Now the designer himself is making an epic journey—he’s determined to discover the United States one state at a time. Last week he traveled to Nashville, home to many of his most ardent fans and a thriving fashion scene. The destination was ideal for the designer who made the trip with Nordstrom for a party thrown in his honor hosted by Karen Fairchild of the Grammy-winning band Little Big Town.

From the start, Louboutin aimed to make the most of his time in country music’s capital. First on the agenda: a private dinner with Dolly Parton at the music legend’s home in Brentwood. Then it was off to the famed Gibson guitar factory for a special tour. A vintage aficionado, Louboutin hit up a slew of local shops in walking distance from the stately Hermitage Hotel in search of authentic cowboy boots and Western fare before heading to the bash.

The event featured a mini concert led by emerging local acts Fancy, The Brummies, and Lucie Silvas. Attended by a slew of country luminaries—Martina McBride, Jessie James Decker, and Kellie Pickler among them—it was a night filled with good music, good friends, and Southern hospitality. Here, the designer gives a behind-the-scenes glimpse at what happens when red soles meet Tennessee soul.

Rihanna Made a Fierce Fashion Statement at Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s Secret Oscars Party

Leave it to Rihanna to upstage some of Hollywood’s best dressed stars on Oscar night. The singer attended Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s super-secret post-awards-show party last night (it took place in the parking garage of the Chateau Marmont), making a fierce fashion statement in a piece off the runway: a ruffled leopard-print design from Alexandre Vauthier’s Spring 2019 Couture collection. Of course, the bad gal pulled off the OTT dress better than most, accessorizing with simple black stilettos, black tights, a matching clutch, and a wrist full of chunky bangles. Rihanna honored this big fashion win with a trio of Instagrams posted to her account today, no captions necessary.

Not much is known about Bey and Jay’s apparently gold-theme soiree, other than Rihanna’s wild ensemble and a few other major names on the guest list, including Drake, Adele, J-Rod, and newly engaged couple Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom. Rih might not have been present for the awards ceremony, but she sure did shut it down in the late hours once all of the accolades were handed out. One can only imagine the partying that went on inside Sunday’s most covert celebration, but no doubt Rihanna and her fierce couture had a ball.

Why I Love the New Kate Moss So Much Better Than the ’90s Waif

Kate Moss has been looking great lately. This past month, she celebrated her birthday in London with her longtime friend Stella McCartney and wore a black minidress with her signature monkey-fur chubby. (That same night, she stepped out on the arm of her hot boyfriend Count Nikolai von Bismarck.) Later that week in Paris, she was spotted with another old friend, Sadie Frost, and wore a cinched velvet jacket with a peekaboo leopard-print shirt. At 45, the supermodel has never looked so bright nor so put-together.

It’s radically different from the hard-partying Moss who I fell in love with when I was a teenager in the early ’00s. That was the second coming of Kate, about a decade after she had her mercurial rise as the infamous waif. I discovered Moss in this form on a French Vogue cover tucked away in the international magazine aisle of a Barnes & Noble. In the November 2004 issue, Moss wore a ridiculous green fur coat on top of a Nike sports bra and a pair of short white gym shorts. Maybe the image was so out of my world that I became transfixed. Or maybe it was because she was super flat-chested—just like me at the time!—yet had an electrifying confidence. (I was very insecure about my nonexistent bra size.) That cover gave me hope, a curious peek into another dimension.

By the mid-aughts, it appeared as if Moss had come into her own. I wasn’t so much a fan of her now immortalized ’90s wardrobe, like the sheer slip dress that she wore with Naomi Campbell or the matchy-matchy grunge-inflected outfits she wore with Johnny Depp. She seemed too quiet back then, too young. I liked her noughties energy. (Watch this grainy cut of Primal Scream’s “Some Velvet Morning” to get a visual feel). Plus, in 2005, she carved out a new name for herself in the fashion-verse. Moss had just begun a relationship with Libertines front man Pete Doherty. Her style became wild, bad-to-the-bone English rock ’n’ roll. She’d attend Glastonbury hanging off the arm of Doherty in tiny dresses with mud-caked Wellies and a cigarette dangling from her lips. On a regular day in London, she was effortlessly cool in a pair of black skinny jeans, ankle boots, a leather jacket or army jacket, and a skull-print Alexander McQueen scarf. Even if she wore these outfits in the back of a car, half asleep after a rough night out, I thought she looked amazing.

I gravitated toward her not only because her getups appeared easy and attainable but because she wore her out-of-control behavior well. At the time, I was a teenager with problems at home and school. Moss’s blasé, even tumultuous attitude resonated with me. I tried to re-create her style. I still have a tiny black dress from American Apparel and a low-slung, circular medallion belt floating around my parents’ house. I even wore ballet flats, as an ode to her Repettos. I also scooped up a pair of rosary beads, like Moss had worn in 2005 at Glastonbury with a vest and short shorts. (Fun fact: I’m not even Catholic.) And somewhere in my childhood bedroom shoved in the back of a bookshelf, there is a half-smoked pack of Marlboro Lights.

Then, Moss went to rehab. Soon after, I slowly started to grow out of my bad-teenager phase. Toward the end of the late 2000s, she dropped off of my radar. It felt as if she had lost her mojo. Years later, in 2015, she was photographed while playing a caricature of herself in Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie. She was waist-deep wading out of the River Thames wearing a body-skimming sparkling aquamarine dress with a glass of Champagne and a cigarette. And though it was an act, the image simply seemed too real.

And yet, suddenly this past month, Moss has come back on my radar. It’s not for falling on her knees exiting the club or zonking out on the seat of a black car. In recent weeks, she has really hit her stride, whether she was celebrating her 45th birthday or at Paris Fashion Week. The newswires show her looking incredibly chic and put-together. After all, she isn’t only a model but owns a modeling agency now and is dressing the elevated part of someone who makes decisions. Think: all-black everything, like a wide-leg pleated trouser that is polished or a velvet jumpsuit with a silk placket. She is glowing. It is almost as if she wants people to see the new her.

Coincidently, I have taken on a similar uniform in my own life, along with a more responsible attitude. There’s no more drinking, going out late, and, funny enough, no more sloppy outfits. (Though, I admit I never could pull of a chicly disheveled look à la Moss in her party years.) The other day I joked to my friend that even though I am not as fun because I go out less and that I dress like I’m attending a funeral in head-to-toe dark colors, I have never felt or looked better. I actually, probably like Moss now, thoughtfully consider what I am going to wear for a day at work or to a dinner. Do I sometimes miss those paparazzi images of Moss perpetually with a cigarette in her mouth, hanging out of a window at a party, or simply hanging off of Doherty while wearing something so down-to-earth and yet effortlessly fantastic? And do I miss my own crazy moments? Of course. But we all have to grow up at some point. So why not make it look good?

All That Glitters: 2018’s Most Dazzling Jewels, Bags, and Shoes to Inspire Your New Year’s Eve Look

We’re not in the business of mandating dress codes here at Vogue, but if we had to apply a rule for New Year’s Eve, it would be sparkle. Crazy sparkle. When else do you get the chance to wear a lamé minidress, glitter eye shadow, and bedazzled boots all at the same time?

Of course, it helps that there are so many ways to sparkle in 2018; the runways have been caked in glitter for a few seasons now, from Saint Laurent (in an ultra-sexy, ’80s-ish way) to Simone Rocha (a quirkier kind of shine). If you’re pressed for time—or just can’t justify head-to-toe metallics—a light-reflecting accessory can get the job done, too. On the jewelry front, there are Dries Van Noten’s stacked-up cocktail rings, Ralph Lauren’s layered heirloom necklaces, and Gucci’s nipple-grazing earrings—or consider a glitzy boot, like Christopher Kane’s crystal-studded pair or Miu Miu’s party heels. Celine and Rodarte made the case for sparkling veils and hair accessories, too.

Above, we’ve pulled 20 of the year’s best, flashiest accessories to inspire your New Year’s Eve look. With extras this dazzling, no one will even notice you’re wearing last year’s dress.
