Lydia West on ’80s Eye Shadow, Going Grey and Her “Really Intense” Skin Routine
We have to talk about It’s a Sin because it’s been such an enormous hit—congratulations! How did you prepare for the role of Jill? I did quite a lot of technical research. I tried not to be too well-informed on the time because Jill learns throughout the years, but through reading the scripts, my eyes were so opened to what happened and what people went through, so I had to dig into it. I read some amazing books—Ghosts of St. Vincent’s by Tom Eubanks and Viral by Ann Bausum. I watched all of the AIDS dramas and films probably ever made—things like The Normal Heart, The Inheritance, Pose—a lot from the American perspective. There’s also an amazing website—HIV.gov—which has a timeline of all the things that happened through the years. But I gained a huge amount of inspiration from Jill [Nald...
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Just Wore the Perfect Legging-and-Sandal Combo
This week, many of us will be thinking about our “re-entry” outfits, as restaurants and shops open for the first time in the UK since December. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was photographed in New York yesterday wearing the perfect outfit that was both polished and casual. She wore a pair of split-hem leggings by The Row, which she dressed up with a pair of strappy black heeled sandals by Bottega Veneta. This outfit is a perfect mixture of smarter items like heels and a structured, oversize trench coat by Bottega Veneta with casual staples like a T-shirt and black leggings. As one of Bottega Veneta’s most loyal fans, she showed her dedication by carrying not one but two handbags. She had the iconic Pouch bag tucked under her arm while she carried one of the huge Sh...
50 Cent Shockingly Shrugs Off Diddy Dating His Ex
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: WENN.com / WENN If you don’t know 50 Cent for much more than his slick takes on everyone else’s business, you’ll be floored to find that he had no jabs for Diddy. It was late last week when the news broke that Puff had been all over Miami entertaining 50 Cent’s ex-lady, 34-year-old Daphne Joy. In fact, things are even more interesting once we take into account that Fif and Joy weren’t just hanging out back then—they dated in 2011 and a year later, they had a child together, a son named Sire. Then a year after that, 50 was charged with domestic violence after reportedly tossing her bedroom and kicking her during an altercation. He pleded guilty to the vandalism charge and received three years probation as a sentence. So as online spectators licked their ch...
All the Looks You Need to See From the 2021 BAFTAs Red Carpet
There is no denying that awards season has looked very different over the last year. Celebrities à la Tracee Ellis Ross have posed alongside makeshift red carpets in their gardens, while Grammy winners such a Beyoncé and Taylor Swift have attended events wearing face masks to match their elaborate outfits. We’re all adjusting to this new normal, but celebrities are proving that while they may be taking part in virtual ceremonies and adhering to social distancing protocols, that doesn’t mean red carpet fashion has to be any less show-stopping. And today, the 2021 BAFTA awards further solidified this notion. Graced by a star-studded slew of celebrities who attended either virtually and in person at Royal Albert Hall, the BAFTAs provid...
Lady Gaga Just Got Married to Adam Driver (in a Movie, But Also in Our Dreams)
In the old days, you had to wait for a movie trailer release to get hints about a highly anticipated film. Now, however, we have paparazzi images giving us sneak peeks in real time—which is particularly helpful if the movie features two of your favourite actors and one of the most popular fashion brands of all time. Lady Gaga and Adam Driver are currently filming House of Gucci—based on the book of the same name—in Italy, and the latest scene happens to be a wedding. Driver plays Maurizio Gucci, who ran the company in the ’80s and ’90s, while Gaga plays his wife, Patrizia Reggiani. Their real-life wedding took place in 1973. Scroll down to see Gaga’s wedding dress in the film and other sneak peeks. You Deserve to Make Mon...
From SJP’s to Diana’s, These Are the 1980s Outfits Worth Copying
Ah, the 1980s. The decade of shoulder pads wider than doorways and hairstyles dependent on whole cans of hair spray was not an easy time for minimalists or shy and retiring types. Many people who lived through the extreme fashions of the day recoil in horror now at the thought of them returning. Eighties outfits were all about ultra-conspicuousness and being noticed. From meringue dresses and rah-rah skirts to leg warmers and stilettos, Spandex and lamé to door-knocker earrings and giant sunglasses, this was the era of OTT style, and the ’90s took a sharp about-turn following the visual overload. Now, with time and distance from this wild fashion period, not all 1980s ensembles seem quite as hideous as they once did. In fact, I’d go so far as ...
8 Simple ’90s Outfits I’d Happily Wear Today
The ’90s are back with a fervor. With trends first coming back onto the fashion scene a few seasons ago, we’ve truly hit our stride as we learn new and interesting ways to mix the retro trends into our more modern wardrobes. Without looking like we’re straight out of a Spice Girls music video or an Adidas advertisement from 1995, we’ve developed a huge crush on the style favorites that made the decade what it was. Our wardrobes are now rife with crop tops, track pants, and bomber jackets, and our after-hours looks consist of slip dresses, platform heels, and the occasional tube top. That’s right: We’ve reached peak ’90s nostalgia, but we’ve added a 2020 twist. Taking a retro trend and running with it isn’t always easy, though, so we’re looking for inspiration from some of our fav...
The Contents of Maya Jama’s Makeup Bag Cost £136—Here’s What’s Inside
Is Maya Jama some kind of beauty industry diviner? In the year where we all spent a lot of time inside and, let’s be honest, continue to do so, Jama launched her own beauty brand. Her skincare line MIJ Masks launched with two masks—a hydrating all-over face mask and a some eye patch masks—and sold out in just 24 hours after it was released. When we spoke to her in December 2020, she told Who What Wear that even if she’s only had two hours sleep, “I’ll put on a face mask and it’ll feel like everything’s okay, even when it’s not”. It’s no wonder then that beauty products have continued to sell incredibly well over the pandemic. Jama’s love of looking after her skin shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who follows her on Instagr...
7 Stylish Celebrity Outfits You’ll Want to Re-Create This Spring
It’s safe to say that we’re all looking forward to transitioning our wardrobes into spring. Though, it seems our excitement is surpassed by celebrities, the most stylish of which are already showcasing their impressive springtime wares. Just like the rest of us, the A-list clearly can’t wait to shed their winter layers in favour of floral dresses, sleeveless knitwear, and cover-ups that don’t involve excessive padding, as that’s precisely what they’ve been sporting over the last few weeks. While celebrity street style is still relatively scarce at the moment, some stars are already serving up excellent new-season ’fits with their masks in tow. Cue, Kendall Jenner (in high street!), Gigi Hadid, Hailey Bieber, Katie Holmes, Chloë Sevigny, Emma R...
8 Throwback Celebrity Outfits That Look Like They’re From 2021
There’s something particularly alluring about timeless fashion. I’m always in awe of the kind of outfits you can look at and not necessarily pinpoint what year, decade, or era they’re from. Made from a combination of classic items—be it straight-leg jeans, button-down shirts, chunky knitwear, or open-toe shoes—these looks rely on the forever-favourite wardrobe heroes we wear again and again, season after season. When it comes to celebrity style, I love stumbling across an image of someone who has been famous for years (think Jennifer Aniston or Naomi Campbell) and playing a silent, internal guessing game about when the photo was taken. For those celebrities who subscribe to a timeless aesthetic, this game can be more difficult than you’d think. ...
Kendall Jenner Wore Spring’s Prettiest It Bag
Early last year, Kendall Jenner did her part to make the Staud Tommy Bag an It bag, when she carried the zebra version on repeat occasions. A year later, she’s proving that the bag has staying power, as she just wore a newer colorful iteration of the bag out and about in New York. The Tommy Bag is a ’90s-style baguette shoulder bag covered in beads. This season, the offerings include animal prints, pastel gingham styles, geometrics patterns, and in Jenner’s case, a colourful psychedelic print called Millefiore. No matter which you choose, each one of the bags is beautiful in person, and the style is roomy enough to hold all of your essentials and more. It’s also a great piece to add some excitement to your ward...
Kendall Jenner Is Making Us Want This £30 Mango Vest
It’s not often that you see a Kardashian-Jenner wearing high street, but this weekend Kendall was photographed in New York wearing a £30 top from Mango. Her outfit was a departure from her usual styling, as she opted for a 70s ‘grandad’ look wearing loafers with ribbed socks, green khaki trousers and a vest top layered over a white Oxford shirt. Her knitted vest has 70s earthy tones with a horizonatal stripe using terrocota, lime and dark grey colours, and is surprisingly still available in all sizes. We love how she layered it over a smart white shirt, which was left untucked and visible underneath the vest for a more relaxed feel. This vest also comes with matching knitted shorts, for those who are looking for summer loungewear options. As for the rest of the look...
