On Sunday, ahead of the Critics’ Choice Awards, Billy Porter decided to show off his latest look in an unexpected fashion. The actor, who was nominated for Best Actor in a Drama Series for his role in Pose, took a moment before the ceremony to glide down a suburban sidewalk wearing a custom green strapless jumpsuit by Hogan Mclaughlin, a silver chunky choker by Lynn Ban, and platform boots by Coach. In the video, Porter wrote a caption that touched on his career trajectory and the difficulties he’s met along the way, including how his masculinity was always questioned. An important piece of wisdom to take away from the caption? “Your gift will make room for you and you must be patient.” Words we can all live by.
Fast forward to later in the week, and the men’s shows in Paris were in full swing. Unsurprisingly, the owner of Moscow concept store KM20, Olga Karput, was already out on the town. The angelic Muscovite headed to the Off-White fall 2020 show wearing, of course, pieces from the label, including a hole-punched white purse. Whoever said that fashion had to be practical?
Meanwhile, far from the bustlings of fashion week was Normani, who headed to Jamaica to soak up some rays. The entertainer took the opportunity while hanging out in the lush Caribbean scenery to slip into a very fashion-forward look. She sported a groovy turtleneck, cut-off shorts, a blue tiny purse, and matching blue heels. The accessory of choice? A fresh coconut, of course.
Finally, someone who’s certainly not feeling the January blues is Bella Hadid. The model took a selfie in a hotel bathroom wearing a sheer, glittering Burberry mini dress with a keyhole cut-out. She shouted out her friend Riccardo Tisci, creative director of Burberry, writing “24/Tisci” in the caption. Even if your wardrobe isn’t stocked with Burberry pieces straight off the runway, we can all take that upbeat energy into the week ahead.
