Month: July 2020

July 01, 2020 at 03:36PM Dua Lipa was one of the many famous faces British Vogue reached out to for snapshots from home for the magazine’s August issue. In a similar fashion, American Vogue featured postcards from the fashion industry for June/July, giving us a glimpse at what celebrities are doing at home. For Lipa herself, it’s wearing very comfy, fashion-forward loungewear looks alongside her SO Anwar Hadid, who also helped her dye her hair pink during lockdown. Dua has certainly been giving us sweatsuit envy on Instagram, and her submission to Vogue brings a new pair of checkered crochet shorts into light, which Dua paired with Raf Simons’s Smiley Face Jumper that rings in at a cool $753. The crochet style is a trend we can get behind, especially in shorts version, when we’re looking for lightweight, mood-boosting clothing for couch lounging and social-distance walks. Scroll ahead to read Dua’s full quote about what she and Anwar are up to – in their very cool athleisurewear – then shop some similar crochet shorts we love and read the full celebrity feature in the August issue of British Vogue, available via digital download and on newsstands Friday, July 3.

July 01, 2020 at 03:00PM This July, we’re shopping Black-owned businesses for feel good, stylish summer items that put smiles on our faces. You can be sure we’ll rally behind these exciting bag and shoe labels, jewelry designers, and swimsuit companies year-round, but let’s focus on summer staples, because we’re finally venturing outside and willing to dress up a little for social distance walks and small, safe gatherings (accessorizing with a mask first and foremost, of course). That calls for breezy throw-overs, swimwear, lightweight handbags, and delicate jewelry made for layering. A lot of the items on this list have unique stories, too. The woven raffia bow pot bag Dana has her eye on is handcrafted by women in Ghana, who are passing down their signature artistry. Meanwhile, Lisa calls out her big love for Lemlem, which was founded by supermodel Liya Kebede and partners with artisan groups across Africa to complete its gorgeous collection of bohemian essentials. Ahead, you’ll discover even more gems to shop in support of these incredible Black artists and designers who are on our radar now and forever.

July 01, 2020 at 02:56PM Beyoncé allowed us all to direct our full attention to her BET Humanitarian Award acceptance speech on Sunday night, when the event aired virtually. For that, we are grateful. Though she gave us a sneak peek at the jewelry she was wearing behind the camera – we all got to see her crystal drop choker and how it played up her beautiful makeup done by artist Rokael Lizama – we were less focused on the possibility of an elegant outfit and more in tune to her moving, powerful message. Later, however, Beyoncé’s stylist Zerina Akers shared her full look: a velvet, high-low Alessandra Rich dress with floor-grazing ruffles, a bow at the waist, and three crystalized buttons to go with the accessories. Bey added mesh gloves and, peeking out from underneath her gown, we spotted her crystalized ankle-strap sandals. It’s safe to say that she proved, with just one look, fashion is truly seasonless, and a thick, velvet dress can be appropriate for a summer award show if she and Zerina give it the nod of approval. Even though we wouldn’t have been disappointed to miss a fashion moment from The Queen this time around – we’d still have that speech to rewatch over and over – we’re glad Beyoncé did, indeed, go glam for this very special moment.
