Blake Lively Wears Party Dress and Heels to Gym, Admits She's Not Good at Athleisure


In a single week, Blake Lively has expertly channeled a Renaissance queen and “…Baby One More Time”-era Britney Spears with her wardrobe. She’s proven to be quite the style chameleon, but there’s one look that she can’t quite master: athleisure.

After attending a Baby2Baby Mother’s Day event on Saturday afternoon, Lively decided to pay a visit to trainer Don Saladino—except, she didn’t change out of the pink-and-white Jenny Packham dress, bow-topped Christian Louboutin heels, and oversized Alison Lou earrings she wore to the first function. As she admitted in her Instagram Story late Sunday night, it can be tough to get back into leggings and ratty T-shirts after spending most of your public-facing life in couture gowns and six-inch stilettos. Relatable.

“I’ve never been great at ‘athleisure,'” Lively captioned a shot of her holding up two 20-pound weights in the gym in a not-quite-athleisure-at-all outfit. “Chill @donsaladino,” she added, evidently responding to the disapproving look her trainer is giving her in the photo. She rounded out the snapshot with an eye-roll emoji and an all-too-appropriate “wearin’ what I want” GIF sticker.

Lest you think Lively actually works out in heels, rest assured that the 30-year-old does, in fact, own a pair of running shoes: Back in February, the mom of two shared a photo on Instagram of her posing with her trainer and, yes, wearing black leggings and a matching sports bra—though the ensemble is, of course, many times more chic than most of what the rest of us wear on the treadmill.

It’s okay, Blake—we relate more to the Saturday Night Live interpretation of athleisure ourselves.

First Lady Melania Trump Wears Chanel Haute Couture Gown to First State Dinner


President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump hosted their first official State Dinner at the White House Tuesday evening, in honor of French President Emmanuel Macron and Brigitte Macron. In keeping with an unofficial custom, FLOTUS paid homage to the guests’ country of origin through her fashion, opting to wear a custom silver gown by Chanel Haute Couture.

The style was adapted from a jumpsuit that appeared on the house’s Spring 2018 couture runway, according to Vogue; FLOTUS appears to have requested the pants be changed to a floor-grazing sequin skirt, but that it maintain the same mesh neckline, crystal embellishments, and contrasting sheer hem.

Mrs. Macron, meanwhile, decided on a long-sleeved white dress by Louis Vuitton, also custom.

This isn’t the first time Mrs. Trump wore Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel while in office, choosing a red Chanel coat for the National Christmas Tree Lighting in Washington, D.C., in December 2017.

Historically, FLOTUS’ gowns for State Dinners have been informed by whoever they’re hosting. Michelle Obama famously picked designers and brands who had some sort of connection to the country her guests were from—like how she wore Jason Wu to greet Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Sophie Trudeau from Canada, and Atelier Versace for Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and Agnese Landini of Italy.

Since becoming First Lady, Mrs. Trump has received criticism for the high cost of the clothing she wears to official events, like the time she chose a $2,950 Delpozo dress to deliver a speech that referenced child hunger at the United Nations. An haute couture gown would certainly fall into that bucket, as these incredibly detailed, often meticulously hand-made garments come with exorbitant, only-upon-request price tags—especially if they’ve been customized.

Neither Chanel or Karl Lagerfeld have released a statement about dressing Mrs. Trump for the State Dinner, and requests to Chanel for comment weren’t immediately returned.

Blake Lively Wears Red Hair With Pin-Up Bangs on the Set of Her New Movie


Blake Lively is nothing if not committed to switching up her beauty looks for a movie role. The latest example comes courtesy of her upcoming project The Rhythm Section, which is currently filming. In it, she plays Stephanie Patrick, a woman who loses her family in a plane crash—and when she finds out that the crash may not have been an accident, she becomes an undercover assassin to track the culprits down. Since it started filming, we’ve caught her in no fewer than three completely different looks; this latest one, which features Blake in long red hair and pin-up-like baby bangs, looks so different we did a major double-take.

It wasn’t that long ago—just back in November—that photos of her on set emerged showing a Blake we honestly didn’t recognize at first: in a short, shaggy wig with a grown-out, brassy dye job that was a far cry from the rather glam Blake of the Long Golden Waves we normally see in red carpet and paparazzi pics. And then, in early December, Blake posted an Instagram of herself in a jet-black pixie cut.

But with the new year comes another new Blake—though, strictly speaking, the look is a first for the film only. After all, we’ve seen Blake with long red hair before: Remember her mermaid-like copper waves in 2011? Of course, this is a different kind of red (golden-red, to be precise). And check out that retro fringe!

We can’t wait to see what other looks this role throws our way—and to see them all together when the film finally comes out next February.

Meghan Markle Wears Self-Portrait for the Queen's Christmas Luncheon


The next manifestation of the so-called “Meghan Markle Effect“: fans being able to track down something she wears without even getting a full look at her outfit. Such was the case with the dress she donned to the Queen’s annual Christmas luncheon. Simply with a few blurry images of Markle sitting in the passenger seat as she and Prince Harry drove into Buckingham Palace, royal fashion sleuths identified the maker of her lace-topped dress—as well as the exact style.

Granted, the guipure lace is pretty distinctive, but it’s still no small feat. Here’s the best look we have at Markle’s dress for a holiday meal chez the Queen.

Markle’s lace-top dress is by celebrity-favorite brand Self-Portrait. Called the Nightshade Midi Dress, the style features the brand’s signature lace work (this one has embroidered flowers all over) cut into a short-sleeved top, as well as a black crepe, mid-length A-line skirt.

It originally retailed for £300—so a little over $400—but has since sold out on Self-Portrait’s website. You can still find different styles featuring the same Nightshade lace, though, including a mini dress version (on sale for £75, or around $101) and a long-sleeve ruffle top (also discounted right now, for £98, or around $131).

Markle has worn the London-based brand, which was founded by designer Han Chong in 2013, before. You may remember her light blue teardrop dress from Glamour‘s College Women of the Year event back in 2016.

Her future sister-in-law also appears to be a fan of the brand: Kate Middleton wore Self-Portrait’s Mia lace and pleated gown (low-key twinning with Paris Hilton, NBD) to the U.K. premiere of A Street Cat Named Bob last year. Great minds.

'The Devil Wears Prada' Is Getting a Sequel All About Emily, Thank God


Andy Sachs may have come out on top at the end of The Devil Wears Prada, but have you ever wondered what happened to the fashion-forward dreams of Miranda Priestly’s second assistant, Emily Charlton? Well, now is your chance to find out: A sequel book featuring Emily is on its way.

On Tuesday Entertainment Weekly published an exclusive sneak peek at the first chapter of the story. The plot revolves around Emily, who has apparently left Runway in the dust and Miranda to put her own damn coat in the closet. As Lauren Weisberger, author of The Devil Wears Prada, revealed, her forthcoming novel will be called When Life Gives You Lululemons and focuses on Emily’s life as a high-powered image consultant. For her next job, Emily must travel to Greenwich, Connecticut, to consult an A-lister with a DUI to overcome. Clearly, she’s got her work cut out for her.

From partying at Gigi Hadid’s house to working for a Justin Bieber–like pop star named Rizzo, the first chapter alone reads more like a Hollywood tell-all than a fictional novel. And that may be what makes this next chapter in The Devil Wears Prada series so much fun. At the very least, the new book will be the ultimate beach read when it hits bookstores on June 5, 2018.

Kate Middleton Wears Princess Diana's Favorite Tiara to Party at Buckingham Palace


UPDATE: Kate Middleton has been spotted wearing a remarkable piece of jewelry—Princess Diana’s favorite tiara—for the second time this year. On December 5 the Duchess of Cambridge wore the Lover’s Knot crown to the annual winter party at Buckingham Palace. There the royals hosted diplomats from more than 170 missions across the United Kingdom, People reported. Middleton paired the famous tiara with matching diamond and pearl drop earrings and an equally dazzling diamond necklace.

JULY 2017: Every princess needs the perfect tiara. And for Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton hers comes borrowed from Princess Diana—because when you’re part of the royal family, you get your pick of the best jewels. At a recent state banquet for visiting royalty King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain, Middleton wore a stunning pink lace Marchesa dress, a statement necklace borrowed for the night from the Queen, and a very special tiara. The diamond and pearl Cambridge Lover’s Knot tiara, as Vanity Fair notes, was a wedding gift to Princess Diana and known to be one of Diana’s favorite pieces.

The tiara is a historical treasure and is a little more than a century old, according to People—it was commissioned by Queen Mary sometime in 1913 or 1914. It has 19 arches and a total of 38 drop-shaped pearls.

The first time the Duchess of Cambridge wore the special tiara (is it now acceptable to name all of our jewelry, too?) was at a state banquet in 2015, according to People, and this year’s celebration is the second time she’s worn it since, so it seems like it has quickly become one of her favorites as well. Custom dictates that only certain occasions allow for a tiara, and as the largest event Buckingham Palace throws each year—this year, with more than one thousand people from 130 different countries, Vanity Fair reports—a state banquet definitely qualifies.

Following the Duchess’s wardrobe choices is a favorite pastime, especially because of her affinity for mixing it up from custom designer clothes to J.Crew; Middleton even wore a $51 Zara dress on the way to the wedding of her sister, Pippa. And clearly Kate is not afraid to re-wear her faves, which luckily means her mother-in-law’s prized possession can live on.
