April 24, 2020 at 12:10AM Ever since Killing Eve returned for a third season, my fashion daydreams have been more vivid than ever. Jodie Comer’s Villanelle has been my style icon from the start, and I deeply relate to her shopping addiction – don’t worry, that’s strictly the only aspect of her character I identify with. I have loved all of her head-to-toe looks throughout the past few years, but it’s a season one outfit that I can’t get out of my mind: that pink Molly Goddard dress and Balenciaga boot combination that cemented her as an icon. Maybe it’s the fact that we’re staying inside all day, or that I have a closet of Spring dresses collecting dust, but I’ve had this ensemble in my thoughts constantly as I peruse retailers. There’s something about the absurdity of it; Villanelle, a hired assassin, prancing around in a glorified tutu. Or perhaps it’s the combination of a sweet dress with edgy boots that makes it stand out. If she was wearing strappy heels, I might not have thought twice about it. Whatever the reason, this outfit is more special to me now than ever before. I just might attempt to match her level of frivolity by wearing a puffy bubblegum dress in my living room. What can I say, my escapist tendencies are more prevalent than ever these days. Read on to get a full view of Villanelle’s look, then shop some similar styles I have my eye on. Related: Current

Two Models From Different Generations on New York, Music, and Spring Style
April 23, 2020 at 11:31PM I first met Sylke Golding (pronounced zil-kuh), our 53-year-old model turned architectural-firm manager turned model once again, and our 20-year-old model and musician Tomy Grein at the fitting for this shoot back in late February. While any presumptions I had about this pair should have vanished as soon as they each, in turn, tucked their identical haircuts behind their ears while saying hello, I was sure these two would differ in terms of their style personalities (and actual personalities). Spoiler: I was wildly incorrect on both fronts. I’ll be the first to admit that I didn’t expect Golding, who walked in wearing very on-trend lug-sole boots and a belted puffer jacket, to gravitate as quickly as Grein did toward a backless sequin bodysuit that hung among the range of spring Gucci ready-to-wear we’d prepared on a rack. But that was just the beginning of their shared senses. It quickly became clear that these two seemingly very different women were unexpected kindred spirits in more ways than I could have expected. Like so many models, both Golding and Grein now call New York City home, each having found their way to the center of the fashion world somewhere around the age of 20. Grein, born one of 10 children in Ethiopia, actually spent the majority of her childhood and teenage years growing up in the South. In New Orleans, she lived in the same neighborhood as Lil Wayne, which influenced everything from the music to the
The Low-Maintenance Haircut Everyone Is Trying Because of French Girls
April 23, 2020 at 10:33PM 2020 is ushering in a lot of surprising beauty trends we never thought we’d see again. Things like the vivid blue eyeshadow of the ’90s to the equally nostalgic hair claws celebs adore have made a triumphant return, and we’d like to add more to the list: the shag haircut. Popularized in the ’70s, the retro cut isn’t just making a return—it’s fully arrived. While everyone from celebrities to models to influencers has been opting for the cut recently, we’d like to point out that French girls have low-key been perfecting the tousled, effortless look for a while now with fringe bangs and long layers being the hallmark of many Parisian hairstyles. Whether you pull inspiration from the retro shags or the modern iterations, one thing is clear: less is definitely more when it comes to maintaining these cuts, which might be one reason why we’re seeing them gain popularity. Who wouldn’t want to look cool with the least amount of effort? Just to be sure we weren’t hallucinating, we polled the experts who agreed that they’re also seeing the revival of this iconic cut. According to celebrity hairstylist Rebekah Forecast, shags are the natural progression after all the bobs and lobs we saw over the last few seasons and it’s not hard to make the transition—grow out your bob a little and add layers, she advises. Patrick Wilson, another hairstylist with a roster of A-list clients, says he loves that this cut is super easy to maintain, and with more people embracing their natural
Kate Middleton Just Wore the Prettiest $200 Dress on All of ASOS
April 23, 2020 at 09:43PM Kate Middleton knows just what we need to get through the week: a dose of royal family cuteness. Yesterday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge released adorable photos to celebrate Prince Louis’s 2nd birthday. It was also a sweet tribute since the rainbow has become a symbol of solidarity with the National Health Service in the UK. Today, the family is again showing their appreciation by participating in Clap for Our Carers, a weekly show of support for healthcare workers. The family’s new appearance was also part of a television special on BBC that raises money for essential workers. Since they were going to be on TV, we don’t blame them for changing out of their sweatpants and into adorably color-coordinated blue outfits. The duchess looked especially chic in the Ghost Anouk Crepe Midi Dress ($204), which is currently selling quickly on ASOS. Scroll down to see the brand-new photo, and shop Kate Middleton’s blue floral dress.

Glossier Spent Two Years Creating the Perfect Hand Cream—and It’s Finally Here
April 23, 2020 at 12:31PM The first 10,000 went to hospitals and healthcare workers. Historically, we’ve referred to every single launch from Glossier as “important.” Each new formula feels more innovative, exciting, and buzz-generating than the last, and certain products like Boy Brow ($16) and Balm Dotcom ($12) have become nonnegotiable inclusions in the kits of everyone we know—from family members to makeup artists to fellow beauty editors. Another thing we love? Glossier actually listens to its legion of fans, internalizing customer feedback into existing and future formulas and prioritizing specific product requests from its overwhelming fan base. Interestingly, Glossier’s loyal followers have been begging the brand for a Glossier hand cream for years, and the brand, with open ears and perfectionistic formulating tendencies, has spent nearly two years concocting the ultimate formula. (Think lush ingredients, a “second skin” finish, and a speedy, five-second absorption time.) Of course, no one could have expected the final product launch would come at such a pivotal time when high-demand products like hand cream and hand sanitizer are conjuring record-tall request rates. Normally, the first samples of a highly anticipated Glossier debut would be dispersed to editors, influencers, and other important people within the beauty industry to test and review pre-launch. But given the current circumstances, Glossier took the initiative to prioritize all of the hospital and healthcare workers who really, truly need an amazing hand cream right now and donated the first 10,000 units to help support those on the frontlines of the COVID-19 response. (The brand has also donated thousands
The 5 Most Effective Healthy Eating Methods, According to a Nutritionist
April 23, 2020 at 06:44AM No industry is influenced by trends quite like health and wellness. We live in a world where one food group can be outlawed for an entire decade, a new wellness brand comes out every other day, and a single ingredient is declared “healthy” one minute and “unhealthy” the next. The sheer amount of advice, literature, and opinion permeating the health and wellness industry is enough to give anyone decision fatigue. That’s why we tapped clinical nutritionist Samantha Franceschini of Nutrition by Sam for her professional opinion on healthy eating methods. “Healthy eating can be very intimidating for people who are just starting out,” she told THE/THIRTY. “From working in clinical practice, I have found that different techniques work for different people, and the most successful clients are those who create a lifestyle rather than a diet.” Below, read up on what she believes to be the five most effective healthy eating methods for anyone looking to cut through the health trends and improve their lifestyle. Like countless other medical professionals, Franceschini is a fan of the Mediterranean diet. “Although I try to stray away from the word ‘diet’ and focus more on lifestyle, I always recommend [that] my clients start with a form of the Mediterranean diet, simply because it’s the most beneficial in creating a lifestyle change,” she says. As a refresher, the Mediterranean diet is built around plenty of vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, legumes, whole grains, bread, seafood, and extra-virgin olive oil. Mediterranean diet devotees
“Naked” Underwear Is Now a Thing

You might not have known that cage underwear is a thing and string undergarments are popular again, but when we spot a complicated or interesting lingerie trend we’re here to share it. Today we’re adding to the list and showing you the latest trend to spark our attention. Enter naked underwear—but let’s not limit it to underwear since we’ve also seen the look designed on bras as well. What exactly is naked underwear?

Popular lingerie brands like Fleur du Mal and For Love & Lemons are leading the pack designing styles like the Pastille panties and the below Lemon Drop thong. Enough with the explanation—scroll down to see the newest undergarments trend to hit the lingerie world. The embroidered daises here are so pretty. These also come in two different colors. You can’t go wrong with a matching set. Not your average black bikini bottoms. For Love & Lemons true designs the pretties lingerie. Subtle “naked” cutouts here. Sometimes you just want something simple. Remember when we introduced you to this complicated trend? Shapewear is getting in on the trend too. On sale La Perla? We’ll take it. String thong chicness. You can always count on Hanky Panky for comfort. Figs is a new lingerie brand

April 23, 2020 at 06:00AM Where are fashion girls to go when they are sick of everything in their closets in addition to all their go-to shopping destinations? Down Under, to the land of the Aussies, of course. We often associate Australia with sun, fun, and everything they entail, but what we frequently fail to realize is just how objectively fashionable it secretly is (to us at least).
