Demi Burnett — a ‘Bachelor’ alum who appeared on Colton Underwood‘s season — is saying she’s sorry for wearing a controversial Yeezy jacket … with a symbol of hate plastered on it.

While Sharon Chuter was calling for transparency and accountability in companies, Zerina Akers—stylist to stars like Beyoncé and sister duo Chloe x
Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. The first thing I notice about Norma Kamali over Zoom—besides her impossibly youthful, famously acupunctured face and her signature cat-eye glasses, that is—is the quote painted on the wall behind her, by Søren Kirkegaard: “Life is a mystery to be lived,
Exclusive Dr. Dre‘s estranged wife is demanding access to their marital home because she’s pretty sure someone’s been wearing her expensive shoes … and it ain’t Goldilocks.

I do not know this man. I think I recognize him, but WandaVision, Marvel Studios’s ambitious new series on Disney+, has me doubting even that. In my prime, I was scooping up comic books every Wednesday afternoon at my hole-in-the-wall downtown comic-book shop, and a good number of my favorite series featured a young—or old,

If the fan theory machine churning at full blast is any indication, WandaVision—Marvel’s first serialized foray into the uncharted waters of streaming—is a massive hit. The show siphons the best parts of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (the adventure, the powers, the Easter eggs) and blends them with the completely original element of all-American sitcoms. Elizabeth
Counting fans in Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton, and a few hundred thousand people on Instagram, Missoma’s appeal is hard to deny. The British jewelry brand is loved for making trend-forward, affordable pieces—and its empire’s reach is steadily growing.

Dana Trippe (@TrippyDana) For musician and artist Jesse Jo Stark, 2020 was supposed to be the year. She’d been touring like crazy to promote her music, which sounds—in truly the best way—like a Creamsicle doused in whiskey and set aflame with a Zippo in a dive bar.

Last April, a few weeks into pandemic lockdown, a strange phenomenon occurred. Friends and acquaintances messaged me to say they, in so many words, “finally understood what my life was like.” I didn’t know how to respond to those messages then, but I think I do now. See, I’m chronically ill. I live with Crohn’s,

Last year, Hollywood glamour came to a halt in the wake of a global pandemic. Gone were the days of couture gracing the elite days after a runway show. Ballgowns made-to-measure for A-listers gliding across the red carpet at a movie premiere ceased to exist. But that didn’t mean dressing up lost its luster—at least
