'Ocean's Eight' Trailer: Here's Your First Look at Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, and Rihanna in Action


Get hyped, my friends, because the first teaser for Ocean’s Eight has been revealed, and Cate Blanchett, Rihanna, and Sarah Paulson are here to save us all.

We don’t want to keep you waiting, so go ahead and check out the 15-second teaser trailer, below, and then we can discuss. (The full trailer comes out tomorrow, December 19.)

The teaser doesn’t reveal too much, but so far the film looks hilarious (and glamorous, of course). Overall, it seems to have all the elements that made the traditional Ocean’s franchise such a smash—but with a necessary feminist twist. It’s just one of several female-focused reboots that have happened over the past few years: 2016’s Ghostbusters was a critical hit and a remake of Lord of the Flies is also in the works, for example. Because it’s 2017, though, we’re sure people will find something negative to say about Ocean’s Eight—and star Sandra Bullock is prepared for it.

“It’s like, let’s just take a breath and let’s just see if we come up with something fun. There should be a moratorium. There should be a rule: You’re not allowed to say anything nasty until after it comes out. Obviously, that’s never going to happen,” Bullock told Entertainment Weekly.

The actress also said she and the other cast members (Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, Rihanna, and Helena Bonham Carter) were quick to bond on set.

“I realized as women we have been isolated for a while. I don’t even want to touch on that other subject, but women are now taking care of each other,” she said. “We all were like, OK, let’s just take care of each other for these six months and relish this opportunity we’re being given. But we don’t want it to be just for women. This is not a man-hating. We love the men. There’s men in this movie. We love them. But this one heist needs women.”

Ocean’s Eight hits theaters everywhere on June 8, 2018.

Here's Why You Won't Be Able to Get a Replica of Meghan Markle's Engagement Ring


If you’ve been subtly dropping hints to your S.O. about hopping across the pond to get your own replica of the engagement ring Prince Harry gave to Meghan Markle—casual!—think again: The jewelry company behind the ring won’t be making replicas.

Stephen Connelly, the director of the London-based Cleave and Company, told the Associated Press that the media attention the company has received since the couple’s engagement announcement has been “a bit of a shock.”

“We’re not going to be making replicas of it,” he said. “If you want a ring, then we’ll design you a different one.”

Harry worked with Connelly’s team to design the gorgeous three-diamond ring. The biggest diamond, in the middle, was sourced from Botswana, where the couple spent time at the beginning of their relationship. The two diamonds on either side were chosen from his mother Princess Diana’s collection. And everything is set in yellow gold, Markle’s favorite.

According to the AP, David Thomas, a former Crown Jeweler who now works with Cleave and Company, said that working on the couple’s was the “biggest and hardest secret” he’s ever had to keep. He said that the press has bombarded him with questions, but he refuses to answer out of respect for the couple’s privacy. “Jewelers are like doctors: We never discuss our patients!” he said. (He also refuses to share how much the ring cost.)

If you absolutely need to see what the ring would look like on your finger, you can virtually try it on. It’s not the same, but it’ll have to do.

Here's When To Share Relationship Details With Your BBFs


Do you stay with someone who’s totally great…but not so great in bed? Is it smart to disclose your weird hobby on a first date? How prepared should you really be for a booty call? We hit our favorite podcast hosts with these and more of our most personal Q’s. (After all, we listen to their shows for hours on end and already think of them as BFFs. That’s normal, right?!) Everyone from Dan Savage of Savage Lovecast (a wildly entertaining relationship Q&A show) to Georgia Hardstark and Karen Kilgariff of My Favorite Murder (which revels in true crime) got back to us with their best lessons in Glamour’s December 2017 issue—you’ll want to tune in.

But first, online exclusively, Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman, real-life BFFs and hosts of Call Your Girlfriend (a podcast in which they give each other a ring to talk all the things that you’d share with your person) are here with their love advice:

Aminatou (Amina) Sow: Our advice? Tell your close friends about both the good and the bad of your romantic relationships, so you don’t turn your love interest into a monster or a hero.

Ann Friedman: Which isn’t to say you should take out a press release to everyone you’ve ever met. Your extended friend group doesn’t always deserve to be completely in the know, but with best friends it’s important to be close to hundred percent honest.

Don’t turn your love interest into a monster or a hero

Amina: Sharing only half the picture it isn’t healthy for those friendships. If you only vent about your boyfriend, your friends won’t like him, and if you only disclose the good things or always project a sunny outlook, when your relationship is in a tough spot your friends won’t be able to respond appropriately.

Ann: Don’t do that Instagram-fake-life-stuff. I’ve been guilty of selective detail sharing about a relationship, and I think it’s because there was something I didn’t want to admit to myself. If you’re running a shadow PR campaign for your relationship, you probably aren’t being honest with yourself either. Your close friends want the best for you, but if you don’t give them the full picture, they can’t be as good of a friend as they probably want to be.

Amina: Some of not wanting to confront something has to do with shame and avoidance. But you don’t have to deal with those pressures with a best friend—they’re supposed to be the person you’re the most transparent with.

If you’re running a shadow PR campaign for your relationship, you probably aren’t being honest with yourself either.

Ann: We’re not saying it’s easy; it can be pretty hard figuring out what to share with your friends. Personally, I know it’s time to check in with my friends is if I’m writing about a relationship issue a lot in my journal and not talking about it with them.

Amina: I agree with the journal for sure. And if you don’t know how to say something, the phone can provide a safe distance, which might make the conversation easier. In other words: Call your girlfriends.

Ann: Who would’ve thought?

Here's the Deal With I.AM.GIA, Instagram's Favorite New Fashion Brand


The Instagram crowd’s favorite new fashion brand, I.AM.GIA, is also one of the most elusive. A section titled “Who Is Gia?” on its website simply reads: “CAN I TELL YOU A SECRET? YOU’LL NEVER KNOW.” That’s because Gia isn’t the name of the founder or designer—rather, it’s a persona that inspired (and continues to inspire) Alana Pallister to create the label. “The concept behind Gia was to create a character that every woman could embody and feel empowered by,” she tells Glamour. “Gia is a strong, independent badass who can take on the world and that is exactly how we want her to make other women feel.”

I.AM.GIA is barely six months old (it launched in mid-2017!), and it’s already a go-to for some of the most-followed fashion stars in the business: Bella Hadid, Jordyn Woods, Emily Ratajkowski… the list goes on. Scroll through Instagram on any given day, and odds are you’ll come across a very stylish individual wearing the brand’s pieces. (The tan Cobain pants, $84, and cropped Ankaa top, $54, are quite popular.) Pallister recognized the crucial role social media played in growing not only I.AM.GIA’s reach, but also the concept behind the whole endeavor. “I wanted to take away this ‘Insta famous’ facade that so many young women aspire to be. I wanted Gia to come out and tear apart those stereotypes. There is no rule book to wearing Gia. She is an advocate for going against the grain and being true to yourself. Some girls will wear a Gia piece with a pair of heels, some girls will wear a Gia piece with a combat boot—and either way is incredible.”

A big turning point for the brand was when they received a message from Bella Hadid’s stylist just four weeks into the business. “At that point we didn’t have a large following on Instagram and we didn’t have many ambassadors wearing the product,” Pallister says. “I remember reading the message and thinking, ‘This must be a joke’. I couldn’t believe it.” Lo and behold, her request for pieces to work during Haute Couture Paris Fashion Week was legitimate. Over the course of a week, she wore (and was photographed in) I.AM.GIA separates. “From that point it was a snowball effect in terms of sales because Gia had gained attention,” she says. “People within the industry were talking about her and wondering where she had come from.”

Pallister says the team doesn’t do trend research or forecasting for I.AM.GIA—rather, they design solely for what they imagine Gia is doing, where she’s going, and what’s inspiring her. “When we first launched the brand, the initial concept was to do four capsules a year,” she explains. (The first capsule came together in just four weeks, she says.) “However, once we took on the character of Gia, we realized that wouldn’t suit her lifestyle or the lifestyles of all women. Our girl is out there and she is doing so many different things, so now we create capsules monthly to keep up with her life.” The price point is meant to allow for that type of shopping: Prices start at $31 for a bodysuit, and cap out at $215 for a furry coat.

The Gia gang has grown to welcome more fashion influencers and industry up-and-comers, such as Kaia Gerber, a personal favorite of Pallister’s. “I draw a lot of inspiration from the ’90s so her mom, Cindy Crawford, has always been a muse of mine,” she says. “It was an insane moment for me to see this face of Cindy Crawford on this young incredible model who’s wearing I.AM.GIA.” As far as dream I.AM.GIA sightings go, Pallister wouldn’t hate seeing some mother-daughter outfits on the Gerbers. “I would love to see a ’90s supermodel in Gia next—Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford.” At this rate, it’s not out of the realm of possibility.

Ahead, see the one fashion brand Instagram can’t get enough of.

Here's How to Send Donald Trump Your Birth Control Bill


Following the repeated failures to officially repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, Donald Trump has taken the task of unraveling his predecessor’s signature legislation into his own hands—and has been looking for ways to incrementally undermine health care for millions of Americans.

One of the most drastic measures came earlier this month when the President took action to roll back the ACA’s birth control mandate and make it easier for employers to exempt contraception from their health insurance offerings on the grounds of religious or moral exemption. In their quest to make make birth control less accessible, the administration has said that it’s unsure if birth control decreases unplanned pregnancies (it does), it’s concerned that BC promotes “riskier” sex (it doesn’t), and warned of the negative side effects of certain contraception (which have been greatly exaggerated).

Through this murky reasoning, the White House has put coverage for the 55 million women who depend on the birth control mandate in jeopardy. Ninety-nine percent of women have used at least one type of contraception in their life, but out-of-pocket costs can prove to be a major financial burden. According to a 2010 study completed by Planned Parenthood, about a third of women struggled with covering these co-pays.

If you, like millions of other women, realize just how detrimental Trump’s actions could be, all hope is not lost. Before Trump’s proposed plan can go into effect, the Department of Health and Human Services is required to have an open comment period and give the public a chance to share their thoughts on the new rule. And this is where you (with some help from the Women’s Equality Center) come in.

WEC just launched their Keep Birth Control Copay Free campaign to flood HHS with plenty of opposition to Trump’s rule. Not only can you send the department a pointed, pre-written note outlining how bad this proposal would be, you can send Donald Trump the bill for your own birth control with a handy invoice generator. The tool automatically pulls in the average cost of whatever birth control you use—there are seven options to choose from, including the pill and IUDs—and gives you a chance to send it along to the President along with a message telling HHS not to go forward with the plan.

Right now, the teen pregnancy rate is at an all-time low. Unintended pregnancies are at a 30-year low. Abortion rates have hit a 40-year low and are continuing to decline. All of these stats can be linked to more accessible birth control—and these trends will likely reverse if contraception is made less attainable.

Beyond this, Trump’s actions could have wide-reaching socioeconomic ramifications. When women have more control over their own reproductive health care–including having access to birth control—they take better care of themselves and their families. They can pursue higher education. They can advance in their careers. They can be more active participants in the economy. If they’re denied access to affordable birth control, the effects could be overwhelming.

“Women are tired of footing the bill for male politicians’ attacks on essential reproductive health care,” Amy Runyon-Harms, the Keep Birth Control Copay Free campaign coordinator, told Glamour in a statement. “Together, we are pushing back against President Trump’s dangerous political decision to reduce access to birth control and today we are sending him the bill. Copay-free birth control saves Americans at least $1.4 billion each year. And we figure, with Donald Trump’s frequent proclamations that he’s ‘very rich,’ he shouldn’t have a problem absorbing the cost.”

Comments will be accepted until December 5, so go ahead, send Trump your thoughts—and make sure to send him your bill, too.
