Cherokee Nation to Jeep: It’s Time to Change Those Names
Earlier this week, Car and Driver spoke with the principal chief of the Cherokee Nation, Chuck Hoskin, Jr., about the names of the Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee SUVs. While the Cherokee Nation has long been opposed to cultural appropriation and naming concerns (note the Cherokee Nation spokesperson’s comments at the Cherokee’s 2013 reintroduction), the statement provided to Car and Driver is the first time the Nation has called directly on Jeep to change the name of its SUVs. In the statement, Hoskin said, “I’m sure this comes from a place that is well-intended, but it does not honor us by having our name plastered on the side of a car. The best way to honor us is to learn about our sovereign government, our role in this country, our hist...
2020 Lincoln Navigator Black Label vs. BMW X7 xDrive40i: ’Gator or Bimmer?
See the Full Model Overview At first glance, this pairing may seem a bit strange, but let us explain. The BMW X7 is the newest kid on the block, and if it’s going to join the three-row luxury SUV club, it has to face a veteran like the Navigator. Until recently, BMW trailed Mercedes-Benz in the market for years. Similarly, the Navigator is yet to reach the sales records held by the Escalade. The underdog status of both the X7 and the Navigator makes it the perfect match. Lincoln Navigator Black Label Vs. BMW X7 xDrive40i: Price Tags and Size See all 87 photos As tested, the Lincoln Navigator Black Label stickers for $98,850, and closely behind the BMW X7 xDrive40i checks out at $96,895. Although the difference between these two luxury SUVs is a mere $1,955, the X7 price includes $22,...
I Spent 30 Minutes with Rosie HW’s Makeup Artist, And This Is What I Learned
Over the past year, virtually all of my beauty inspiration has come courtesy of Rosie HW. The Instagram snaps of her go-to slicked-back bun, aesthetically pleasing shower line up and perfectly manicured nails have proved the ultimate form of beauty escapism for me. But despite all of her beauty triumphs, it is without a doubt her perfectly executed, natural-looking makeup that first piqued my interest. Her glowing complexion has always looked so immaculately polished, but relatable enough that, for some reason, I’m left thinking that maybe I could do achieve it too. So, when I had the chance to sit down with Wolff over Zoom a couple of weeks ago, there was only one thing I wanted to know: Is it really possible for us mere mortals to achieve a Rosie-esque look at home, during lockdown,...
All I Can Think About Is Summer—So I’ve Found 13 Outfits I Love
I don’t know about you, but the announcement this week about the road map for easing restrictions has meant that all I can think about is summer. If like me you’re dreaming of afternoons in beer gardens and summer parties with friends, then you might already be searching for the perfect summer outfits for our return to socialising. I for one bought a pair of sandals and a summer cotton dress within hours of the proposal for a restriction-free summer come July. Sometimes, summer outfits need to be straightforward and simple to assemble, with just a flourish of a key accessory or subtle injection of a new styling move, and sometimes—because the UK’s climate is so unpredictable—the layering and construction will be more demanding. (We’ve supplied the more ad...
It’s a Sin’s Omari Douglas Is the Most Stylish Man on TV Right Now
While Douglas says that he doesn’t have the “bravery to be as wild as Roscoe” and he doesn’t “show a lot of skin”, I wonder if he thinks that Roscoe’s wardrobe has rubbed off on his own style? “This week, I’ve been wearing a lot of Carlota Barrera and the jumper I’m wearing today is actually quite Roscoe [points to his wide-knit blue tie-dye jumper] so I think it’s bleeding into my own style. I think this [press tour] is definitely helping me to push it a little.” Clearly though, there’s always been an element of Roscoe in Douglas’s wardrobe, as he reveals he turned up to the fitting wearing something his character would wear. “I wore big hiking boots from Camper with an all black outfit and Ian [Fulcher, the costume designer] said “oh my god, Roscoe would so wear that”. You Deserve t...
This One Colour Is Going to Take Over Your Wardrobe This Spring
The message coming through loud and clear from fashion buyers for spring 2021 is that clothing is going to be joyful with a capital J. Sure, we’ve all come to rely upon comfortable, chic basics and neutral colour palettes, enjoying our dalliances with quietly luxurious loungewear and easy-peasy knitted dresses in somber tones, but the gods of style have decided enough is enough and your wardrobes are overdue a little fun. Designers and brands are delivering said goodness in the form of anything and everything rendered in hot pink. Softer, Millenial-pink tones are still relevant and can enjoy plenty of airtime for seasons to come, but it’s the punchier, highlighter-worthy hues that have been the focus po...
Our Editors Agree, These 5 London Fashion Brands Are the Very Best
Elinor Block, says: “It’s rare to find a brand that’s been going for such a short time and yet has already made quite the impact. Designer duo, Marco Capaldo and Federica Cavenati, co-founders of 16Arlington showcased their first collection at London Fashion Week in 2019 and already have A-list fans, including Lena Dunham and Alexa Chung. In a world of copycat minimalists, 16Arlington injected some much needed fun into fashion week with the brand’s take on partywear. While there are plenty of feathered creations from the brand, there was something about this hot pink dress that caught my eye. I wouldn’t usually go for such a strappy dress but as I’m contemplating the new ’roaring ‘20s’ and what that will mean for my wardrobe, I’m definitely open to suggestions. Plus, when...

I Asked the Experts What Perfumes Everyone Will Want This Year
It’s safe to say that I adore perfume. It has the unique ability to transform your frame of mind with just one spritz—evoking nostalgic memories and lifting your mood like no other beauty product can. However, having such an emotional connection to fragrance means that I tend to play it pretty safe when it comes to the perfumes that I wear. Unlike my makeup bag which I switch up regularly to experiment with new colours and textures, my perfume wardrobe stays pretty much the same all year round. I know which types of scents I like—musky vanilla, heady patchouli and modern rose, FYI—and I gravitate towards them time and time again. This year, however, something has changed. I’m not sure if it’s those first glimmers of spring sunshine or t...
5 Trending Colours H&M Is Backing In a Big Way for Spring
H&M has proven itself to be the high street brand to beat over the last twelve months, with countless of its pieces achieving cult status. It’s actually been frustrating for us editor types, whose job is to bring you the best new buys before they sell out, as they’ve already gone before we get the chance. So, we’ve had to up our game. We find ourselves checking H&M’s new-in section almost by the hour on the off chance that we missed the next big thing on our previous scroll. In doing so, we’ve been able to ascertain a few things. 1) That shackets are still proving popular for the brand, as they seem to have five new styles every time we check. 2) That oversized dresses are going to be just as prevalent for the season ahead as last year. And 3) tha...
Ford Extends King Ranch Beyond F-Series and Expedition, Possibly to Explorer
It’s been twenty years since Ford first introduced the cowboy-themed King Ranch trim, named after the King Ranch in Texas and featuring liberal use of the ranch’s W-shaped brand. King Ranch has since become staple of the Ford F-150 and Super Duty pickups, slotted above the XLTs and Lariats but below the high-end Limited and Platinum models. From a marketing perspective, a King Ranch Explorer makes sense. It’s possible Ford would pattern such an Explorer after the pickup trucks, slotting it between the $35,890 Explorer XLT and the $46,895 Explorer Limited. We think it’s more likely that a theoretical King Ranch Explorer would follow the Expedition’s lead and be based on the top-of-the-line Platinum model. If that’s the case, a Kind Ranch Explorer would li...
2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 First Look: Forget the Ioniqs You Know
Do not adjust your screen brightness or call your optometrist—that image above is not a rendering. It’s not a depiction of a concept car, either. As futuristic and cyberpunk as it may appear, this is your first glimpse at the very production-ready 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5, the first vehicle from Hyundai’s new Ioniq sub-brand and visually in a different ionosphere from the humdrum Ioniq range of affordable electrified compact cars that preceded it. This is roundly one of the most significant new Hyundais we’ve seen since the 2011 redesign of the Sonata, a car that ushered in a new era for Hyundai/Kia design and inarguably elevated the Korean manufacturer onto the same playing field of Toyota and Honda. Multiple Battery and Motor Combinations With the Ioniq 5, Hyundai...
