A ‘Frozen’ Wedding Dress Now Exists

by 8 mins ago

The rumors are true, y’all. Disney announced earlier today that they’re making a Frozen-inspired wedding dress, which is a collaboration between Disney Consumer Products and designer Alfred Angelo, who is known for his range of bridal gowns based on Disney Princesses.

“[Frozen character Elsa] is beautiful and elegant, and her inner beauty shines through when she is ultimately not afraid to embrace who she is with confidence and poise,” Alfred Angelo’s Chief Creative Officer Michele Piccione told InStyle. “We wanted to translate Elsa’s inner beauty and individuality into a sophisticated gown that exudes this.”

The result is an “ice blue sheath gown” with a sweetheart necklace, all-over beading that mimics freshly-fallen snow, and a Watteau train, which is a classic style of train that falls from a bride’s shoulders to the floor. Piccione adds that it’s a final touch that “captures Elsa’s regal appearance and her bold personality.” Those wanting a slightly more traditional gown will able to purchase it in ivory as well. The Elsa wedding dress will be available January 2015 both online and at Alfred Angelo stores.

So, why a Frozen wedding dress? Well, it was the highest-grossing animated film of all time for one, and it has inspired a fervent following. One quick glance at Pinterest—the internet’s leading site for ladies who are fantasizing about their future weddings—demonstrates that there is a definite want and need for a Frozen-themed gown.

I mean, just look at this.

There’s this Frozen wedding ...

Here’s How To Get Your Hands On Those ‘Back To The Future II’ Air Mags

by 27 mins ago

Good news for sneakerheads and fans of Back to the Future. Universal Studios has officially OK’ed a pair of replica Nike Air Mags just in time for Halloween and your inevitable Marty McFly costume. I’m sure you’ve been waiting on this news since the movie’s release in 1989, and once again in 2011 when a small batch of the sneakers (1,500 pairs to be exact) were created by Nike and auctioned off on eBay for charity. All proceeds went toward the the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.

This go-round, they’re coming from Halloween Costumes, which finally got the licensing deal from Universal Studios. The sneakers feature light-up soles, an adjustable velcro strap, a USB cable to charge your shoes (~modern~), and a collector’s box to house them. Since these aren’t the Nike-endorsed/created kicks, there isn’t any Nike branding on the sneakers (not even so much as a swoosh to be found). Also, these don’t have power laces. But might they be available in 2015? Fingers crossed.

BACK TO THE FUTURE 2 LIGHT UP SHOESHalloweencostumes.com


The sneakers can be found on the Halloween Costumes site for $100, but—gasp—they’re currently listed as “sold out.” But we knew better than to take no for an answer when it comes to sneakers/Halloween and so we gave Halloween Costumes a call. Here’s what we found out:

They’re not really sold out. Halloween Costumes hasn’t ...

Here’s How To Recreate Rita Ora’s Faux Bang Top Knot

by 30 mins ago

At this point, we shouldn’t be surprised by Rita Ora’s hair game. We’ve seen her with beautiful blown-out waves, choppy blunt bobs, and an assortment of braids. We’ve even spotted her rocking a cotton candy shade of pink during her Adidas Originals shoot. Basically, homegirl is fearless when it comes to her strands. What we haven’t seen, however, is the “Black Widow” singer wearing a topknot with heavy bangs—and temporary ones, at that!

Rita OraGetty Images

Rita wore the striking hairdo at a Marchesa show during London Fashion Week paired with a seriously smoky eye and plum lip. So, who’s responsible for her smart-yet-stunning lewk? Her mane (heh) man, Chris Appleton, of course, whom you might remember from our House of Style: All Up In The VMAs special (along with Ms. Ora herself). She gave her hair stylist a shout-out on Instagram saying, “What you mean you can’t turn a knot into a fringe? @chrisappleton1 he can lol! #hometimeselfie.”

If you want to replicate this look at home, you’re in luck! We found a tutorial that walks you right through the process, and seriously, it’s a lot easier than it looks.

For even more hair-related tutorials, be sure to check out our red carpet-themed episode of House of Style, and to see Rita’s stylist talk about all-things hair and beauty, peep the video below!

Watch Lady Gaga’s Jazzy ‘Bang Bang’ Cover At The ‘Harper’s Bazaar’ Party

by 36 mins ago

New York Fashion Week might be over, but it still lives on thanks to Harper’s Bazaar. The magazine has blessed us with footage of Lady Gaga at the Plaza Hotel performing Nancy Sinatra’s “Bang Bang.” The event was a celebration of global fashion director Carine Roitfeld’s Icons shoot, which fatures none other than September cover girl Lady Gaga. The event’s guest list was basically a who’s who of the music and fashion industries, including some of our favorites: Nicki Minaj, Sky Ferreira, and Joe Jonas.

We’ve already seen what Mother Monster was wearing to the event, but now we have a glimpse of the actual performance, and we are just—well, kinda overwhelmed by a lot of feelings, TBH. If this is any indication of the ARTPOP singer’s collaborative album with Tony Bennet, Cheek to Cheek, which is slated to drop later on this month, we’re all for it.

See All 10 Outfits Rihanna Wore To New York Fashion Week

by 14 mins ago

If you’re anything like us, your favorite part of New York Fashion Week is seeing what Rihanna is wearing. If you’re even more like us, than you know you’ll want a place where you can look at all of Rihanna’s NYFW ~lewks~ without much work. Below you’ll find every look Rih work throughout the past week. (No need to thank us–we’re just sharing something we’d probably compile anyway.)

RihannaGetty


Is that Wilma Flintsone? No, it’s just Rihanna at Adam Selman’s show wearing a white, flouncy baby doll dress from the designer’s SS15 collection with Christian Louboutin pumps. If the name sounds familiar it’s because he’s the one who created with Rih’s crystal-studded “naked” CFDA dress, collaborated with her on River Island and dresses her on tour.

Here, Rihanna is stuntin’ on us in an Alexander Wang navy (Navy!) jacket, shoes and bucket hat with Lynn Ban necklace and rings at Wang’s Spring 2015 show. She was joined in the front row by Nicki Minaj, Miguel, and, like, 100 other cool people.

At the Altuzarra show, Rih’s cleavage almost entirely distracted from the fact that she wasn’t wearing any pants. While the fringed blazer was originally shown with pants underneath–like a suit, if you will–Rih ditched ...

Betsey Johnson’s NYFW Show Was A Love Letter To Marriage Equality

by 39 mins ago

Betsey Johnson’s Spring 2015 collection was a “love song to LGBT marriages.” The the show–entitled “Prenup”–featured every iteration of bride in a parade of taffeta and tulle in shades of white, metallics and pastel. Editors were sent packets of rice with their invitations.

Elaborating further on the collection’s theme, Johnson said:

“[It's] trendy and transgendy. Prenup is a part of the whole world of straight brides, gay brides, transgender marriages, everybody getting married. Finally, freedom. The clothes are my first shot at all kinds of brides. It’s been the most fun to work on this show. A lot of kind of new, more abstract ideas: see-through plastic dresses and dresses made out of scuba fabric and horse hair.”

Stacey GriffithGetty


The runway opened with SoulCycle’s Stacey Griffith in a white suit and black and white slip-ons, accompanied by a model in a clad in feathers and fringe. Both were matching “Prenup” necklaces.

Sharon NeedlesGetty


Johnson, no stranger to reality television herself cast models from UPN, Bravo and LOGO including but not limited to: Real Housewives’ Cynthia Bailey, Kristen Taekman, and Camillle Grammer; America’s Next Top Model contestant and transgender model Isis King; and RuPaul’s Drag Race stars Sharon Needles and Willam Belli.

by 26 mins ago

Miley Cyrus“Dirty Hippie” collaboration with Jeremy Scott might’ve been the biggest news to happen this week, but another standout moment for this season’s New York Fashion Week took place at Mark McNairy‘s show. (Though, we’ve still got one more day left of NYFW.) The runway MVP, who hopped, skipped and floated his way into our hearts? Travi$ Scott, doyyyyy.

Bella Thorne, Olivia Palermo, Taryn Manning, And More At NYFW

by 5 mins ago

Today is New York Fashion Week’s final day–can you believe it? Are y’all still with us? While we may be sleep-deprived, all our faves are still fresh-faced and hitting up all that NYFW has to offer. We’ve been keeping tabs on who’s in the front row, who’s backstage, and–most importantly, IMHO–who is getting into the after-parties. Below are a few of our picks from yesterday’s shows!

Bella ThorneGetty


Bella Thorne attended Jeremy Scott in a custom bright green monster-print dress from the designer. The highlight of the show for Bella? Sitting on Miley’s lap, I assume.

Taryn ManningGetty


Whoa, Pennsatucky cleans up nice. We’re so used to seeing Taryn Manning in a prison uniform on Orange Is The New Black, that we’re pleasantly surprised to see her in something other than sweats and khakis. Taryn looked incredible at the Jeremy Scott show in a strapless button-down dress, a sheer black cardigan, and studded boots.

Olivia Palermo and Michael KorsGetty


Olivia Palermo went for super boho chic at Michael Kors. She all suede and fringe everything, while designer Michael Kors stuck to his uniform of jeans, a black tee and jacket with sensible sneakers. Nice New Balances, Michael. How normcore!

2 Chainz, Rita Ora, Dakota Fanning, And More At NYFW

by 19 mins ago

We’re nearing the homestretch for New York Fashion Week, but that doesn’t mean our enthusiasm has dampened in the least. We’re just as excited as we were on Day 1 (which seems so far now…) and can’t wait to tell you about all of your favorite celebs making the rounds at major shows and parties. LEGGO!

Rita OraGetty


We’re starting to think Rita Ora might actually be a superhero after all. Girlfriend is everywhere, and she constantly kills it on the style front. One of our favorite looks was at at Diesel Black Gold earlier in a black and white striped blazer, a deep v, black skinny jeans with gold zipper details, and slate gray boots. Perfection.

2 ChainzGetty


Whoa, can we talk about 2 Chainz at the Skingraft fashion show? There are some layers to this. Literal ones, as the rapper layered a monochromatic overcoat, over a black sweater, and baggy white jeans. The finishing touches were a flat-brimmed fedora, and Versace Medusa Head sneakers. I’d say more on the matter, but my internal monologue is basically: “Swag, swag, swag, swag, swag…”

Dakota FanningGetty


What is this Emma Frost, White Queen realness? Dakota Fanning wore pieces from Rodarte’s Spring 2014 Ready to Wear collection to the label’s runway show. The all-white look composed of a bodysuit, hammered silk ...

Holland Roden, Kiernan Shipka, Keke Palmer, And More At NYFW

by 33 mins ago

OK, now we’re really deep into New York Fashion Week. It’s a marathon, not a sprint, y’know? While we’re tired from just sitting here looking at photos, our faves have been out and about all day and night hitting up shows and after-parties. We’ve been keeping tabs on major appearances all week, and today is no different.

Holland RodenGetty


Um, how gorgeous is Holland Roden? The Teen Wolf star stunned in a nude dress at Adeam with some cleverly placed sheer paneling. Her white strappy heels added to the “barely there” vibe. We’re feeling that perforated skirt detail pretty hard.

Kiernan ShipkaGetty


At Zac Posen, Kiernan Shipka opted for pants—a flip of the script that we are obsessed with. We are pretttty into whatever Kiernan does, but especially fond of this sartorial decision. Kiernan’s structured navy top, brocade trousers, and pointy heels are making us emotional in some kind of way, TBH.

Keke PalmerGetty


Dang, Keke, don’t hurt ’em! The actress and host of Just Keke wore a sheer sleeveless black blouse, an iridescent skirt, oversized sunglasses, and barely there heels at the Milly by Michelle Smith show. We are very into the sheen that her skirt is giving off, and we are all about the floral detail on her blouse’s collar. It’s super sweet and ladylike, which is so on-brand for Milly. A+, Keke.
