More often than not these days, dressing for a red carpet event is all about the spectacle, even more so than the quality of the outfit. Mostly made up of over-the-top looks crafted to become viral moments, the practice of understated elegance has become something of a lost art at major events. Luckily, we can always count on Selena Gomez and her stylist Kate Young to err on the side of better, not bigger. Nowhere was this proven more than at Variety‘s 2022 Hitmakers brunch, which took place this weekend in Los Angeles. For the event, which Dua Lipa and H.E.R. also attended, the Only Murders in the Building star chose a midi-length little black dress made of extremely seasonally appropriate velvet and formalised with a sculptural, ruffled hem. Desig...
Even though it pains me to say it, Margot Robbie‘s Chanel-filled wardrobe is not available for Prime shipping on Amazon. I hate to burst your bubble. However, one very pretty accessory that she just wore on the red carpet is absolutely accessible to the masses: Her black hair bow. For a BAFTA event in London last week, Robbie’s hairstylist Bryce Scarlett gave her a half-up, half-down look and secured the back with an adorable bow. I immediately went to Amazon to find an affordable dupe and ended up buying one straight away. The perfect festive accessory, a black hair bow can instantly elevate a knitwear look, be paired with mini dress and tights or can add a pretty touch to a jeans-and-blazer outfit. Pick from satin, velvet or tulle as well as betw...
To quote Taylor Swift, what if I told you none of it was accidental? Meghan Markle’s most recent outfit may seem unexpected at first, but there’s actually a hidden meaning behind the colour combination she chose to wear. Listen, I don’t blame you if you were too focused on Meghan Markle’s empowering discussion to notice the colour of her shoes, but you know we’re all about style and substance here at Who What Wear, so you can bet I’ll be talking about both. Markle attended a fundraiser for the Women’s Fund of Central Indiana, which runs programs for women on intimate violence prevention, executive leadership, mental health, and more. For the event, the Duchess of Sussex wore a green Giorgio Armani dress with purple Manolo Blahnik shoe...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: YouTube / Youtube In another turbulent moment, Ye aka Kanye West is no longer acquiring the social media platform Parler. According to reports, the company behind the conservative social media platform that became a hub for right-wing figures and far-right extremists, announced that West would no longer be purchasing it. “Parlement Technologies has confirmed that the company has mutually agreed with Ye to terminate the intent of sale of Parler,” a spokeswoman said in a statement issued on Thursday (Dec. 1). “This decision was made in the interest of both parties in mid-November. Parler will continue to pursue future opportunities for growth and the evolution of the platform for our vibrant community,” the statement continued. Representatives for Ye didn’t...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Dominik Bindl / Getty It’s the end of an era. Angela Yee has officially exited “the World’s Most Dangerous Morning Show,” and is no longer a part of The Breakfast Club after 12 years. The new midday nationally syndicated show Way Up With Angela Yee is set to debut at the top of 2023 in a minimum of 30 markets. In a recent interview with Variety, Yee shared some of her memories from The Breakfast Club and some of her plans for her new show—which she said she hopes will give more women a platform. “To have had the opportunity to sit down with Nipsey Hussle and people like that, I think is really amazing for us, as far as history and even knowing these people in a different way than the rest of the world knows them,” she said. “ I love that we ha...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Dia Dipasupil / Getty The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to shed light on their life and love in a way never seen before in a new Netflix documentary. The first trailer for Harry & Meghan—the upcoming docuseries set to air on Netflix—dropped this week. The series will include personal footage of the couple’s life together including from their 2018 wedding reception, according to People. “Why did you want to make this documentary?” the couple is asked in the promo video. “No one sees what’s happening behind closed doors,” Harry says. “I had to do everything I could to protect my family.” Meghan then says, “When the stakes are this high, doesn’t it make more sense to hear our story from us?” The streaming giant describes the series sayin...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Variety / Getty Box office star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson stopped by a 7-Eleven convenience store in Hawaii recently where according to him, he used to shoplift as a teenager. “We were evicted from Hawaii in ’87, and after all these years ― I finally got back home to right this wrong,” Dwayne Johnson said, according to Huffington Post. “I finally exorcised this damn chocolate demon that’s been gnawing at me for decades.” The Black Adam star said that he used to steal a king-size Snickers candy bar from the store every day. “The same clerk was there every day and always just turned her head and never busted me,” he wrote on Instagram. Johnson shared a video where he purchased every Snickers bar in the shop and paid for purchases of some excited...
What initially caught my eye was her coat—a sublime wool robe coat complete with a rather practical hood. You could, however, argue that a hood is somewhat redundant in L.A., but that’s neither here nor there. As an aside, I was struck by just how versatile a coat choice hers is. From ‘S Max Mara, an easy-to-wear offshoot of Max Mara‘s mainline collection, such a coat would live quite happily in my wardrobe for a very, very long time. Pairing it with the year’s trouser silhouette to note, puddle pants, this look strikes the perfect balance of being completely and utterly timeless, whilst also appeasing the current fashion mood. Well played, Jolie. While her taupe round-toe court shoes will raise some eyebrows in the industry—it might shock you to...
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Jim McIsaac / Getty If some folks don’t have nothing else…they have audacity. Longtime radio host Howard Stern took to the airwaves this week to scold media mogul Oprah Winfrey for “showing off” her wealth on Instagram. “It’s f*cking mind blowing when you follow her on Instagram,” Stern said, according to a report from Variety. “You see her estates, her gardens, the people who service her and, you know…She’s got servants and, like, people cooking and it’s fucking wild. She knows how to be rich…She kind of likes to show it off, which is something I’m not comfortable with. I don’t think that people should show off their wealth.” He added that “Oprah’s not embarrassed by her wealth at all” and implied that she lacks self-awareness. However, his co-host...
If there’s one thing I’ve learnt this year, it’s that ‘airport style’ is most definitely a thing. Traditionally, long-haul dressing was all about comfort but nowadays our favourite celebs know that a stylish travel outfit can be just as impactful as a red carpet look. And while you might not be jetting off to the same destinations or events as the celeb pack, it doesn’t mean you can’t still dress to impress on your next flight (or even train journey!). When it comes to nailing travelling in style, there are few things that celebrities always seem to rely on, like a large tote bag, sunglasses, great denim and easy layers. But you might be surprised to know that chic celebrity airport looks also always feature an unpredictable footwear choice: Heels. From h...
