No Comments on Lupita Nyong'o Wore a Spectacular Warrior-Inspired Gown to the *Black Panther* Premiere

To the surprise of exactly nobody, Lupita Nyong’o, who attended the world premiere of Black Panther at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood on Monday, won the ~~red~~ purple carpet in a dress inspired by her onscreen warrior character. The Oscar winner matched the carpet in a vivid purple custom Versace gown with a long, flowing train, a deep V-neck, and a spiky metallic armor-like overlay embroidered on the bodice that wrapped around her neck, shoulders, and waist, and was dotted with coordinating purple jewels. Nyong’o wore a delicate gold headband around her head and pulled the rest of her hair back into a tall, narrow bun. She accessorized with plum lipstick, a Versace clutch, Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, and Beladora vintage rings and earrings in gold, to match her gown’s textured bodice.

“Purple Reign. #BlackPanther #WelcomeToWakanda,” N’yongo captioned a series of photos on Instagram of her in her gorgeous gown. The actress plays Nakia, a “war dog” spy for the fictional African nation of Wakanda and the main love interest of Wakanda’s ruler T’Challa (AKA the Black Panther), in Marvel’s newest movie,

Micaela Erlanger, the star’s longtime stylist, spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about Nyong’o’s look. “We found out there was a purple carpet after we had chosen the dress, but it was kind of a perfect reason to go with the gown; I think it’s a new addition to the Lupita rainbow!” she said. “There’s definitely a nod to her warrior character Nakia here, without being costumey. It’s a really glamorous take on our vision and it’s very fierce, certainly.”

Earlier this month, Nyong’o spoke to THR about what made her sign onto Black Panther before she had even read the script. “We were creating an aspirational world where an African people are in charge of their own destiny,” she said. “And that really appealed to me and had the little girl inside me jumping for joy. To just have African people, black people, at the center of that narrative is so exciting.”

Bella Hadid Just Dropped in on a Political Protest in a Red-Carpet-Worthy Gown

No Comments on Bella Hadid Just Dropped in on a Political Protest in a Red-Carpet-Worthy Gown

Typically, political protests aren’t really something you need to dress up for—it’s just important that you’re comfortable and warm. Of course, if you’re Bella Hadid, then it’s an entirely different story (see: when she dropped by a protest wearing a red-carpet-worthy gown and a fur-trimmed white coat).

It all happened on Friday, according to People, when the model headed to the opening of the Tag Heuer’s flagship store in London (she’s the face of the fancy watch line). She did her ambassador thing, peaced out, and then swung by a demonstration outside of the U.S. Embassy.

The demonstration was organized after President Donald Trump declared Jerusalem the capital of Israel. Those at the protest were holding up signs that said “Free Palestine”—a debate that Hadid has close ties to: Her dad, Mohamed Hadid, is of Palestinian origin.

Here is the outfit in question:

She posted on Instagram about the protest with an emotional caption summing up her feelings:

“?I’ve been waiting to put this into perfect words but I realized
there is no perfect way to speak of something so unjust. A very very
sad day.Watching the news and seeing the pain of the Palestinian
people makes me cry for the many many generations of Palestine. Seeing
the sadness of my father, cousins, and Palestinian family that are
feeling for our Palestinian ancestors makes this even harder to write.
Jerusalem is home of all religions. For this to happen, I feel, makes
us take 5 steps back making it harder to live in a world of peace. The
TREATMENT of the Palestinian people is unfair, one-sided and should
not be tolerated. I stand with Palestine. There is no hate against
anyone… There are no sides… All religions living side by side..
Now it is Just one man..it has always been a factor of trying to bring
peace… Where is the hope..?”

Kate Middleton Just Stole the (Royal Variety) Show in This Icy Blue Gown

No Comments on Kate Middleton Just Stole the (Royal Variety) Show in This Icy Blue Gown

Kate Middleton has rightfully been a style icon ever since she stunned the world with her iconic Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen wedding gown in 2011. She and stylist Natasha Archer are collectively genius at incorporating looks from the high street (that’s British for “stores we normal people shop at”) into her wardrobe, leaving us #blessed with outfit inspiration courtesy of favorites like L.K. Bennett, Zara, and J.Crew. But one thing she’s always been incredible at? Getting dressed up to the nines—we’re talking glittery, gorgeous gowns that are truly fit for a princess.

On Friday night, Middleton and Prince William attended the Royal Variety Performance in London where she made a statement in a gown one of her go-to designers, Jenny Packham. She walked the red carpet in an icy blue, floor-length dress that makes her look exactly like a certain Disney princess from Frozen.

The gown’s entire sheer blue overlay is embellished with silver and blue sequins and transparent floral beads. Kate paired it with a pair of silver heels to match. Take a look at the whole ensemble—gorgeous, no?

Here’s a closer look:

We’ve seen this color on her before—she seems to keep it in rotation in her wardrobe, and she looks fantastic each time. She wore a similar shade of silvery blue, this time with a lace overlay, back in October for her first appearance after announcing her third pregnancy. This latest evening-wear pick, however, also reminds us almost exactly of a very Blair Waldorf look she had going earlier this year in March during a visit to Paris. Also by Jenny Packham, her Paris gown shared the icy blue, sheer neckline, shimmery embellishment of her most recent dress—although the latter was definitely the most glam out of the two.

After all, when you know what you like, stick with it—and that guidance definitely extends to royalty, too.

Gigi Hadid Narrowly Avoided Tripping Over Her Gown, Thanks to Bella Hadid

No Comments on Gigi Hadid Narrowly Avoided Tripping Over Her Gown, Thanks to Bella Hadid

The Hadid sisters are always there for each other, and that sisterly bond was on full display on Monday night when Bella Hadid attended the Glamour Women of the Year Awards to celebrate her sister, Gigi Hadid, who was being honored at the event.

But her support didn’t end there: Bella was also on hand to lend a steady hand as Gigi stumbled on her way to the Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, New York. A series of photos captured the moment when Gigi tripped, losing her balance in her floor-length gold dress. However, she was able to avoid fully falling by gripping the hand of Bella (her date for the evening).

You can see the moment in the photos, below:

Gigi spoke about receiving the honor on The Today Show, where she explained that no matter how many glamorous selfies she might post, she’s not perfect. “Someone in my industry might be looked at as perfect, but it’s of huge importance to let little girls know that just because I’m winning this award doesn’t mean that everything is figured out,” she said. “I wake up on days and it’s not necessarily that I feel like Woman of the Year every morning.”

Those thoughts on perfection seem to echo the message she conveyed in her acceptance speech. As she accepted the title, she explained what she’d like to be as a role model, saying, “I think my biggest responsibility, standing here, is to all the young women who are watching. I want to let you know that just because I’m standing here, winning this award, doesn’t mean that I have it all figured out. I’m so grateful for every opportunity, but that doesn’t mean that I wake up feeling like the Gigi that the world expects me to be on a daily basis.”

So relatable, kind of like almost tripping in a floor-length gown. Same, Gigi, same.

Jennifer Lawrence Wore a Wedding Gown to the Premiere of 'Faces Places'

No Comments on Jennifer Lawrence Wore a Wedding Gown to the Premiere of 'Faces Places'

Jennifer Lawrence seems to have gone wedding-dress shopping recently. At the very least, the Mother! actress has apparently been keeping up with the latest bridal collections, as she turned up to the premiere of Faces Places wearing a look fresh from the aisle.

The L. Wells Bridal gown that J.Law wore, with its low neckline and lace flutter sleeves, would be perfect for a late-summer wedding. The actress paired it with layered necklaces, metallic nails, a pink-red lip, and messy, undone waves. Add a flower crown and a bouquet, and Lawrence could head straight from the red carpet to the alter. (If that’s what she wanted, of course.)

Naturally, this hasn’t quieted the engagement rumors floating around about Jennifer Lawrence and her current boyfriend (and Mother! director) Darren Aronofsky. At the end of last year, the actress was spotted wearing a ring on that finger, though it turned out just to be a gold-and-diamond bauble. Could the fact that Lawrence is clearly on the lookout for white dresses from the bridal department be clues that she’s actually hunting for her very own wedding dress? Too early to tell, especially since she only confirmed her relationship with Aronofsky last month.

If Lawrence is set to tie the knot IRL anytime soon, you can bet that there won’t be any bridesmaids or groomsmen. She told Vanity Fair that after serving her bridesmaid duties four times, she was done with the entire ritual and “that part of her life is over.” She even pitched an idea for a bridesmaid union (10/10 would join). When specifically asked about her own nuptials, she said she’d skip a bridal party all together. “How can I rank my friends?”

Amal Clooney Wore a Atelier Versace Gown for Her First Red Carpet Appearance Since the Twins

No Comments on Amal Clooney Wore a Atelier Versace Gown for Her First Red Carpet Appearance Since the Twins

Human-rights lawyer Amal Clooney stepped out on the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival for the first time since she and her husband, actor George Clooney, had their twins. Named Ella and Alexander, the two babies were born at the beginning of June. Since then, the power couple has been busy—and not just with the newborns. They’ve been busy planning to open a school for Syrian refugees in the U.S., and George has been prepping for the premiere of his latest directorial effort, Suburbicon. And that brings us back to the Venice Film Festival, where Amal looked stunning. (But did you expect anything else?)

Amal paired her red lipstick, on-point brows, and vintage curls with a gorgeous full-length lavender silk dress—with a hint of peach peeking through from the last layer of chiffon. The gown itself is Atelier Versace, a line she’s worn more than a few times.

On Friday, she wore another elegant look. She was pictured leaving a restaurant in Venice with George wearing a strapless sapphire Missoni Resort 2018 gown, complete with layers of iridescent blue fringe that definitely call for some twirling.

But back to that Venice Film Festival dress: Check it out, below. Dreamy, right?

So floaty!

Of course, we’ve always kept an eye on Amal’s style because it’s just so damn good. After all, she took her maternity outfits to the next level pretty much right after the couple announced their pregnancy (that dramatic red coat!).

We’re hoping to see more of the Clooneys after this first official post-baby appearance—if only to catch more of Amal’s beautiful wardrobe.
