Emily Ratajkowski Proves Why the Best Golden Globes Makeup Happens at the After-Party

Last night's 2018 Golden Globe Awards showcased beauty notes designed to make a statement against the evening's all-black dress code, from the ubiquitous red lip to a sprinkle of emerald baubles, the latter of which paid homage to the Suffragist movement. For Emily Ratajkowski, a well-selected wash of striking color could be found at eye level, her almond gaze encased in a graphic pressing of watermelon shadow.

Makeup artist Hung Vanngo opted to turn the evening's collective lean toward carmine on its head, daubing Ratajkowski's pout with a shimmery pink nude that kept the focus on her high-impact eyes. Her power brow and swirls of apricot blush served as requisite signatures, while eyeshadow extended artfully away from the outer corners to Pop art effect. This isn't the first time Ratajkowski has embraced all-around eye color, but last night's iteration felt extra celebratory, and, when paired with glitzy hoops and glossy waves, made for an ideal addition to the event's menu of highly personalized beauty. Because a red lip is undeniably powerful—but so is a dose of irreverence.

Kim Kardashian West Tests Out Next Season’s Trickiest Evening Trend

Kim Kardashian West appeared on James Corden’s The Late Late Show last night to promote her newly released KKW Fragrance, before heading to the Bumble Bizz launch party in Los Angeles. For her TV appearance, Kardashian West took a page out of younger sister Kendall Jenner’s style playbook. Kardashian West channeled her inner Cher and donned Ralph Lauren’s beaded minidress. The original dress was paired with a glen plaid puffer, but Kardashian West kept things bare to highlight her physique. The beauty entrepreneur grounded her first look with a naked shoe for a leg lengthening effect.

To attend the launch, Kardashian West shrugged off her party dress for a tailored topper and shorts, ditching the shirt but accessorizing with a Yeezy gold medallion. While Kardashian West tested bike shorts earlier this year with more casual pieces in San Francisco, yesterday proved how sleek and sophisticated the messenger-friendly staple can be when paired with black tie.

“Having to Do This on Your Own Would Be Horrible”—7 Fashion Duos on the Rewards of Collaboration

In fashion, two is better than one. Look around: H&M is launching the collection Erdem Moralioglu designed for the fast fashion giant tomorrow in L.A. Earlier this year, we couldn’t stop talking about Louis Vuitton and Supreme. And don’t forget the 18 collabs Vetements did for its Spring 2017 show. Collaboration has become such a buzzword, in fact, Lou Stoppard of SHOWstudio has written a book on the subject; Fashion Together, published by Rizzoli, was released today.

Collaboration, Stoppard points out, isn’t a 21st-century phenomenon, but it has seemed to accelerate in the last decade, a fact that she chalks up to the industry’s fast pace. In the book, she quotes Rolf Snoeren of Viktor & Rolf, who said, “Having to do this on your own would be horrible. It’s a gift to be able to do it together.” As she watched the list of fashion partnerships grow, she started asking herself: “Who has the control? How is power balanced? Are there issues over ownership?” She came to the conclusion that collaborations “rely on some magic special ingredient. It’s a bit like romantic relationships really, it just works or it doesn’t.”

Stoppard’s first criteria for entry was that the relationship be unusual. “It would have been very easy to do a whole book just based on designers and their stylists or designers and their ‘muses,’ ” Stoppard says, “but I felt like that would have been too expected and maybe tired as a concept.” The second criteria was scoring in-person interviews with the collaborators together. That, she admits, was a bit like herding cats, and in the case of Shaun Leane and the late Alexander McQueen, it wasn’t even possible, but overall she was pleased by how much time her subjects gave her. “I think it’s a credit to how passionately everyone feels about the importance of collaboration.”

Fashion Together is a stuffed full of photographs, ephemera, and some of the most candid designer interviews you’ll read anywhere. “People were very willing to share their stories.”

No One Wore the Tommy Look Better Than EXO’s Chanyeol

The theme of Tommy Hilfiger’s Fall 2017 show may have been rock circus, but the most dynamic presence in the front row was a pop superstar. South Korean boy band member Park Chan-yeol (aka Chanyeol) stole the spotlight the moment he arrived, gaining the attention of photographers and countless fans who lined up to snap pictures of him with their iPhones. A singer, rapper, and member of K-pop juggernaut EXO, Chanyeol is a superstar in Asia and has the chic personal style to show for it. Where other celebrities may go with outlandish runway looks or clothes designed to get attention, Chanyeol often plays it cool, opting for a classic wardrobe that speaks to his status as a heartthrob.

Though he has experimented with wild hair colors and flashier looks in the past, Chanyeol’s wardrobe has become more understated of late. His Tommy look of a plaid shirt, white tee, and color-blocked windbreaker was fashionable without trying hard, and it’s that kind of effortlessness that he cultivates off-duty. Whether he’s breezing through an airport in an oversize trench coat and ripped jeans, or donning a Vetements bomber jacket, he’s the rare pop star who lets his attitude shine rather than his latest runway acquisitions—all of which makes him an ideal representative for all things Tommy.

See him headed into Heathrow in one of the brand’s gray sweatshirts and a pair of tailored trousers, or walking around London in a fuzzy blue and red fleece with a ’90s vibe. Chanyeol embodied the ease Hilfiger is known for, and provided the brand with something everyone can appreciate—effortless casual style.

Pink Dedicates Her Powerful VMAs Speech About Beauty and Body Image to Her Daughter

Tonight at 2017 MTV Video Music Awards, Pink accepted the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award—previous winners include The Beatles, David Bowie, Kanye West, Beyoncé, and most recently, Rihanna—for her inimitable impact on music, pop culture, and philanthropy. An honor she didn't take lightly, after performing a roaring medley of her most famous hits, the singer used her acceptance speech as an opportunity to speak candidly about body image and self-love, recalling a conversation she had with her 6-year-old daughter, Willow Sage Hart.

"Recently I was driving my daughter to school, and she said to me, out of the blue, ‘I'm the ugliest girl I know. I look like a boy with long hair,'" she explained. Bewildered at the admission, she came back to Willow with a PowerPoint presentation spotlighting gender-bending icons, such as Prince, Annie Lenox, and Freddie Mercury, explaining to her that they "live their truth, are probably made fun of everyday of their life, and carry on, and wave their flag, and inspire the rest of us." Underlining the fact that she herself doesn't fit society's narrow feminine ideals and has been criticized throughout her career for being too masculine, Pink posed four powerful, patriarchy-smashing questions. "I said to her, 'Do you see me growing my hair?' She said, 'No, mama.' 'Do you see me changing my body?' 'No, mama.' 'Do you see me changing the way I present myself to the world?' 'No, mama.' 'Do you see me selling out arenas all over the world?' 'Yes, mama.'" And that's how it's done.

Jennifer Lawrence’s Best Accessory Is Clearly Her Dog Pippi

This month, Jennifer Lawrence makes her second appearance on the September cover of Vogue. In the new issue, the 26-year-old actress opens up to Jason Gay about her professional as well her personal life, including two very special relationships: the romantic one she has with director Darren Aronofsky and the rather maternal one she has with her beloved dog Pippi. Lawrence constantly frets about Pippi’s welfare, and specifically whether the dog’s small size might make him susceptible to predators at her home in Los Angeles (where Lawrence has hung an oil portrait of the precious pooch). “Every 20 minutes I have a heart attack,” Lawrence admits in the interview. “I’m going to be a great mother.”

Dog ownership, despite its dubious stresses, has been an opportunity for Lawrence to make quite a few memorable style statements. The trick often starts from the ground up with practical shoes that toe the line between form and function. For instance, Lawrence wore suede Aquazzura espadrilles to dress up a pair of simple skinnies and a white tank while running errands with Pippi. On another occasion, she chose Alexander Wang grommet sandals to move a creamy slip dress to a directional new place—the ultimate piece to take its wearer from day to night (or rather the bedroom to the dog park) with ease.

Lawrence tends to gravitate toward tonal hues that lend even the most lo-fi of basics some polish. Look at the Alberta Ferretti outwear with the cozy shearling lining that mimics Pippi’s own fur coat for proof. She also packs in extra style points with her statement bags. Unlike Pippi, who is often transported in a traditional travel carrier, Lawrence has a rotating collection of bags—a textured Chloé shoulder bag, a studded Valentino tote, and a fold-over Victoria Beckham clutch among them. All leave her room to stow Pippi’s preferred essentials, such as the natty plaid bow tie he wore while catching a flight out of Los Angeles. After all, who says owners and their pets can’t have a shared love that extends to accessorizing?

Seasonal Shopping Slump? 6 Chic Summer Staples to Take Into Fall

Getting dressed in the morning becomes a little more daunting in August. Summer is winding down, but cooler temperatures have yet to set in. You can’t break out your heavy knits or boots, but the dresses and blouses you purchased in June leave you uninspired. Even Vogue editors hit the same late-summer slump. As Assistant Market Editor Madeline Fass puts it, “How am I supposed to shop for other people when I’m not even excited to shop for myself right now?” Fortunately, there is a solution for your inter-seasonal woes: the summer-to-fall transitional wardrobe.

The trick is to invest in staples that can be worn on their own now, then layered in the coming months. Street style favorite Rejina Pyo makes tailored shirts you’ll come back to each season, while Poland-based designer Magda Butrym has mastered the cut-out dress in dark and moody floral prints that work equally well in summer and fall. Not a fan of dresses or skirts? Cropped trousers are always worth picking up, so is denim in darker shades, like Lorod’s cult zip-through pants, as worn by the likes of Bella Hadid and Pop artist Haley Vassar. Last but not least, tie it all together with a lightweight statement coat, tossed loosely over both shoulders. Who said shopping in August can’t be fun?

Advisory Board Crystals Makes Transcendental Clothing for the Spiritually Connected

One way to describe Advisory Board Crystals, the California brand by Remington Guest and Heather Haber, is spiritually serendipitous. The couple met while sharing an Uber Pool ride in Los Angeles two years ago, and ended up at the same party later that night. “Truly divine timing in practice,” says Guest. The universe has been conspiring in magical ways for them ever since. “On one of our first ‘dates,’ he walked me into a crystal shop to buy me a lepidolite. From there, we knew crystals were a part of our love story,” adds Haber. Before they started Abc., as they shorthand it, the pair held positions at Band of Outsiders. Eventually, they just couldn’t not do their own thing. “In just a few months, we had already come up with the concept, the Instagram, the website, and future plans all in the works,” says Haber.

Up until now, Abc. has existed as a series of one-off projects and collaborations. The brand began with some truly groovy tie-dye shirts made in collaboration with Colette, Bergdorf Goodman, and menswear resale site Grailed. “The first shirt we ever did was representative of a rose quartz. The only way we could hit that visual was through a sort of dye process,” says Guest. From there, the tie-dye quickly became a brand signature that represented the mystery of crystals, but also the joys of getting dressed. “When I went to get dressed each day, today still, I want to wear tie-dye. We created our own tie-dye process. It’s similar to painting. We also utilize crystal-infused dyes that we create in our studio.”

Guest and Haber are as devoted to crystals as they are to fashion; they tell you the properties of amethyst, say, in the same breath that they rattle off the qualities of their favorite Nike sneakers. With Abc., they’re hoping to distance the stones from their kooky roots and bring them to a new generation of believers. “The visual and physical aspects alone are fascinating enough,” says Haber, “but when you add in the aspect of metaphysical properties and the infinite mystery that crystals embody, it makes them the most interesting subjects in the tangible world. I love crystals of all kind, including Swarovski, actually.”

Tomorrow, Advisory Board Crystals will launch their second collection, an exploration of spatial themes and emotional bliss. “Romantic” is how they both describe it, and with tees that read Soulmate Specialist, you can’t disagree. But like all things Abc., the latest offering has layers. The lookbook stars artist Jim Krantz, the photographer behind the iconic photograph of the Marlboro man that was reappropriated by Richard Prince. The images were shot at California’s Major Mount Wilson observatory, itself a sort of a temple to the intergalactic, by Guest and Haber on their iPhones and showcase their now range of printed tees and floral trousers. “When people look at the brand today, I’m sure most would say streetwear. But the plan we have is something else. We have a project with the New Museum in the works, amongst others that will begin to reveal the true vision of Abc.,” says Guest. When pressed as to what other projects are in the pipeline, however, the pair remains mum, emailing back—what else!—an emoji of a crystal ball.

News About Foy 'emotional' over death scene

Wolf Hall star Claire Foy has told how - unlike her alter-ego Anne Boleyn - she had to work hard to hold her emotions in check while filming her character's death scene.

Anne's execution is played out in the popular BBC Two drama, starring Mark Rylance as Thomas Cromwell and Damian Lewis as Henry VIII.

Claire, 30, told Radio Times magazine that the execution scene, in front of 200 extras, was a difficult experience.

"I had to have a bit of a word with myself, because I was feeling very emotional about the whole thing whereas Anne, by all accounts,really kept it all together," she said.

"She takes her death sentence on the chin and that's what I find really heartbreaking."

Claire added: "She obviously had real moments of desperation while she was in the Tower, but I think she genuinely believed that if she had been accused falsely in this life, she would find justice in the next."

The actress, who was in the early stages of pregnancy when she filmed the series, added: "We used her own words, verbatim, for the scaffold speech and shot the whole thing a bit like a documentary. So for the audience it feels like you're watching the whole thing live."

She said of filming the scenes while pregnant: "It was too early to tell anyone and it's quite unpleasant when you can't sit down or drink any water but, if I'm honest, all costumes, unless I'm in pyjamas, end up p***ing me off a bit."

The adaptation of Hilary Mantel's historical novel has become BBC Two's biggest new drama series for a decade, attracting an average audience of 3.9 million viewers.

Claire said of her character: "For the amount that she achieved, and given the limited role of women in her time, Anne really had massive balls - bigger balls, I think, than anyone at Henry's court. If she had been born in a man's body, I think she would have made an extraordinary ruler."

News About Mention of Angelina Jolie

The mention of Angelina Jolie is synonymous with passion, and none can ignore it. Every man would want her, and every woman secretly wants to be like her. The world has a wild and unstable image of her, but it can never pigeon-hole her. She is at once wild, untamed, sexual, nurturing, compassionate, loving, uncompromising, home-bound, nomadic, dominatrix - all rolled into one.

Although rumors of cosmetic surgery in that area have circulated for as long as she's been in the limelight, none of them have ever been substantiated. She is tall, very statuesque, and thin with a physique that is to die for and one that seems to be tailor-made for Hollywood. Presently, she doesn't bear any sign of having given birth to twins fairly recently.

A kiss shared with her brother the night she won an Academy Award fueled speculations of an incestuous relationship, which she refused vehemently. She's always very outspoken in interviews and very open about her sexual preferences. It is, indeed, no wonder that she's Hollywood's favorite bad girl. And if people aren't talking about her antics, they're talking about the new Angelina Jolie tattoo.

Anytime two people of the opposite sex are in close proximity on a regular basis for extended periods of time, the potential for emotional infidelity exists. Angelina Jolie has received numerous awards and recognitions, such as an Oscar for supporting Actress in "Girl Interrupted". There were other awards like an Emmy Award, Blockbuster Entertainment Award and Saturn Award for best Actress; just to name a few.

I know that we will continue to watch her grow as an actress and a mother. Her fan base is loyal and admiring and if you wonder why, rent some of her earlier films and a few new films and you will see that she gives 150% to her craft and to her fans. This famous icon will continue to amaze and appease the world for years to come. The world has a wild and unstable image of her, but it can never pigeon-hole her. She is at once wild, untamed, sexual, nurturing, compassionate, loving, uncompromising, home-bound, nomadic, dominatrix - all rolled into one.

Business of Fashion Launches in China

few years ago, Louis Vuitton brought its $8 million steam train to Shanghai for a big runway show. Countless other luxury labels have also made their way to China, hoping to tap into what is now a $300 billion fashion and apparel business. And for good reason—by 2020, the Greater China region is slated to become the biggest market in the world for luxury goods.
It’s only fitting that China’s rapidly evolving luxury market should have a website that documents its changes, challenges, and the people who make up the industry. Today, Business of Fashion’s Imran Amed officially introduced the world to his solution: BoF China.
“The hutongs have all but disappeared, fake Chanel and Prada have been replaced by the real thing, and fashion brands have been entering the market in droves to participate in the largest shift in economic and political power since the Second World War,” says Amed. “But in a market like China, the only constant is change. And on each subsequent trip to this vast and varied country of 1.3 billion people, I have witnessed incredible shifts in the market landscape.”
Though the new BoF China website and its Daily Digest Newsletter are both in Chinese, there’s also a BoF China hub in English that lives on businessoffashion.com, featuring the latest intelligence, insights, and analytics on the Chinese fashion market. The site debuted today with a feature story on the country’s hot and cold market as well as profiles on China’s fashion leaders, including Sham Kar Wai (the founder of I.T), actress Fan Bingbing, Adrian Chi-Kong Cheng (general manager of New World Development), and model Liu Wen.
If you don’t know these names, it’s probably time to study up. Even if the market is cooling in China, as Amed reminds us, “What is important to remember is that for a nation of China’s epic scale, even not so hot is still pretty hot.” We’re adding BoF China to our bookmarks tab right away.

Kendall Jenner Continues Her Plan for World Domination

Photo: Getty Images

If the fashion world was Monopoly, Kendall Jenner is well on her way to taking the board. First, she conquered fashion week, walking for Chanel, Givenchy, Marc Jacobs, and a list of other prestigious designers that only grows each season.
Now, she’s continuing her world domination, nabbing more campaigns, from Givenchy in June to Estée Lauder this week, and another new gig with Karl Lagerfeld, announced today. Women’s Wear Daily reports Jenner will appear in a spring 2015 campaign for the Karl Lagerfeld collection. The ads were recently shot in his Paris studio with three other models: Sasha Luss, Ming Xi, and Baptiste Giabiconi.
And if the rumors are true, we'll be seeing Jenner's face on one of Karl's runways quite soon. Jenner reportedly chose walking in Lagerfeld’s Chanel Métier d’Arts show in Austria over the glitzy Victoria’s Secret fashion show runway in London this year.

Why That Outfit: Margot Tenenbaum’s Bad Girl Prep in 'The Royal Tenenbaums’

Some outfits stick with us long after the closing credits. In a new recurring series, Why That Outfit, ELLE.com explores the psychological underpinnings (and on-set backstories) behind some of film and television's most inexplicably iconic looks.
Whether she was snipping off the tip of the right index finger on her baby pink cashmere gloves or smoking cigarettes on top of the toilet clad in nothing but a flesh-colored negligée, there was something so aspirationally unhinged about Margot Tenenbaum. And her clothes, which were anachronistic, moneyed, and age-agnostic, were so spot-on that it’s no wonder that 12 years after the release of the Wes Anderson classic, droves of grown women shrug on their grandma’s mink and line their eyes with kohl each Halloween. Here, we chat with costume designer Karen Patch (who also worked with Anderson on Bottle Rocket and Rushmore) about how she went about dressing one of the most complicatedly messy women in cinema history.

"You don't even know how many selfies I get on Halloween of various people dressed up like Richie and Margot. Some look great; some are not so good. But I always say it's great. Since The Royal Tenenbaums, I've had other directors say to me, 'I want this to be something that will be worn on Halloween.'
Margot Helen Tenenbaum is the adopted, chain-smoking, literary genius daughter, who also won a Braverman grant at age 11. She is missing a finger and wears a wooden prosthetic. She has a distant, unavailable father who introduces her as "my adopted daughter." She has relationships with her adopted brother Richie, a family friend, Eli, and of course her husband, Raleigh. I had a lot to work with! When you know the history of the character, it forms an image in your mind right away. Wes Anderson said that he wanted as much as possible to be designed and built exclusively for the movie. He actually said, 'Don't shop anything—make everything.'

That's an important directive because handmade pieces look different—you know you won’t be able to find those things on the rack somewhere. That's something we tried to do in the first two films, we did together Bottle Rocket and Rushmore, but we had such small budgets that I could only make specific pieces. Like for Rushmore, I did the green velvet suit, and I did his blazer, which had to be very specific. But we had a bigger budget for Tenenbaums and a little more time. The other part of it was that we agreed that Wes would stay available to me, because I didn't have enough time or money to make any mistakes. Several nights a week, he would come down to my office and we would go over everything while we were in prep.
The idea of Margot came together because I had seen an old Peter Sellers' film, called The World of Henry Orient, in which the young girl wears a mink coat to run around New York.

I wanted to put Margot in the same look when she was a child, and have her carry that through into adult life. She kind of knows who she is at a pretty young age. So then Wes and I talked about a sort of trench style. He drew a little line drawing, translated his notes into Italian, and I sent the sketch to Fendi. I asked them if they would build this coat for me and they did! We had it on loan for six months, and they made one for the little Margot, too. I wanted a certain lapel and I wanted it to have a tie-waist. There were other specifics, too. They sent me pelts and I went through all the caramel colors. It was the same thing with her dresses. People think Lacoste made Margot's dresses, but Lacoste didn't make striped dresses in that style at the time—they only made solids. So I asked them if they would just send me fabrics so that I could pick out the stripes I wanted to make the dresses with. But I had to get their approval because Wes really wanted to use the Lacoste alligator logo.
Margot's look was contradictory, which definitely made it more interesting. She was dressed in conservative pieces, but she was rebellious as a person: she never smiled; she wore heavy makeup; she chain-smoked; she was sexually promiscuous. . I think those contradictions—the fact that she was wearing what looked like her mother's clothes, or something kind of country-club conservative—made her edgy. I like to put unlikely things together—it certainly makes things more interesting.

She also wore Bass loafers, which were very typical of that time and the country club kind of look. The Hermes bag could have been her mother's so I thought that was fitting. Plus, I couldn't find anything I liked better. Who could, right?
I think Gwyneth, like everyone else at the fittings, was a little perplexed. 'Why is this so small for me?' 'Why are my sleeves too short?' Everything was cut a little small for that time. But when Gwyneth put on the loafers she said, 'Now I know who I am.’"
