Before Game 5 of the Western Conference finals in Oklahoma City, the San Antonio Spurs made a statement long before they reached the court. Their arrival at Paycom Center mixed Texas style, designer pieces and vintage streetwear, turning the pregame tunnel into its own kind of spotlight as the series stood tied 2-2. The strongest attention landed on Keldon Johnson, who arrived in a white cowboy hat, a brown leather Louis Vuitton jacket, denim jeans and Louis Vuitton cowboy boots. Victor Wembanyama went in a quieter direction with a dark quarter-zip, patterned trousers and white sneakers. Stephon Castle chose a…

Northwestern’s UNITY Charity Fashion Show returned Thursday, May 21, 2026, with a runway built around the theme of escapism. The student-run group staged the show at Seven Star Venue in Chicago, where Northwestern student designers and models joined Chicago-area and other guest designers for a night that mixed fashion, storytelling, and fundraising. All ticket money went to Snow City Arts, and UNITY leaders said the sold-out event brought in about $5,000 for the nonprofit. The event mattered for more than the clothes on the runway. UNITY leaders used the show to push two ideas at once: fashion can be a…

Teyana Taylor brought more than style to the 2026 American Music Awards. She brought her daughters, and the sweetest part of the night came when her oldest, Junie, gave her mother a glowing review of her look. Junie told Taylor that the purple gown was better than a 10 out of 10, adding, “Clock it,” in an exclusive exchange shared by E! News. The clip stands out because it mixes three things readers always click on fast: a major awards show, a fashion-heavy red carpet, and a real mother-daughter moment that feels unscripted. Taylor attended the AMAs with Junie and…

The 2026 Cannes Film Festival once again turned the French Riviera into a fashion test, and Vanity Fair’s best-dressed list shows that the strongest looks this year were the ones with real personality, not just sparkle. The 79th edition ran from May 12 to May 23, 2026, and the style conversation stretched well beyond the screenings, with major outlets such as Vanity Fair, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, British Vogue, and Reuters all publishing their own Cannes fashion coverage. What happened at Cannes Vanity Fair’s roundup of the 19 best-dressed stars at Cannes highlighted a mix of directors, actors, models, and couples…

Kristen Stewart has built one of Hollywood’s clearest style signatures by doing something that still feels rare on major red carpets: she keeps choosing sneakers. In Vogue’s new look back at her footwear history, the actress is framed as a long-running rule-breaker whose sneaker habit started years before it became a talking point at Cannes. The result is a fashion story that is as much about comfort and identity as it is about clothes. What happened The latest wave of attention comes from Vogue’s slideshow, “Heels? Please! A History of Kristen Stewart’s Rebellious Red Carpet Sneakers,” which traces how Stewart’s…

Lizzo turned heads at the amfAR Gala Cannes on May 21, 2026, with a custom Robert Wun gown that featured faux nipple piercings and a necklace draped from the bodice, a look that quickly became one of the most talked-about fashion moments of the 79th Cannes Film Festival. Vogue highlighted the outfit in a story titled Lizzo Just Wore a Nipple Necklace in Cannes, while People and Page Six also reported on the design and the reaction it drew. What Happened The appearance took place at the amfAR Gala in Cap d’Antibes, France, not at a film premiere on the…

If you have ever colored your hair brown and felt like something looked wrong afterward, you are not alone. Many people choose brown because it feels safe and natural, but the wrong shade can make skin look dull, eyes less bright, and features more tired. I have seen people switch from a warm caramel brown to a cooler ash brunette and suddenly look fresher and more balanced without changing anything else. That usually happens because the shade finally matches their undertone and season correctly. One of the biggest mistakes people make is thinking brown is just one color. In reality,…

Academy of Art University’s School of Fashion turned its 2026 spring showcase into a citywide moment this month, giving graduating designers a public platform in San Francisco and tying their work to one of fashion’s most recognizable archives. The show, called US NOW, brought 19 graduating designers to the runway, while a second event the next day linked student work with the With Love Halston Foundation in Union Square. What happened The main runway show took place on Thursday, May 7, 2026, at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. The school said the event included a 2:30 p.m.…

The Library of Congress is turning June into a month-long mix of fashion history, music, and public programming, and this year’s Live! At the Library lineup is built around a clear theme: American style and jazz as cultural history, not just entertainment. The official announcement says the June schedule includes a trivia night on American fashion, a costume ball, a sneaker-focused evening, and two jazz programs that spotlight Hazel Scott and Stanley Clarke. What the Library announced In its May 22 release, the Library of Congress said it is saluting 250 years of American fashion throughout June as part of…

Finding the right shade of blonde for your season can feel frustrating, especially when a blonde color that looks beautiful on someone else ends up looking too harsh, too yellow, or completely washing you out. Many people choose blonde hair based on trends, salon photos, or celebrity inspiration without realizing that undertones, contrast, and seasonal coloring play a huge role in how blonde actually looks on the face. I have seen people spend time and money on blonde shades that technically looked pretty, but did not feel balanced with their natural features. One thing I have noticed while studying seasonal…
