Fashion & Trend

If you’re like me, October 31 is a day to watch your favourite horror movies , eat an obscene amount of candy and slap together a last-minute costume for the sake of feeling involved. The finishing touch — and best part — of this annual tradition? Gawking at celebrity Halloween costumes. Because for the rich and famous, this is more than just any other holiday. It’s a challenge. With the pressure of red carpet outfit rankings and best-dressed street style lists, getting ready for any old outing is like a sport to celebrities. So Halloween , in turn, is the Olympics. From wearing gravity-defying getups to spending hours undergoing makeup transformations, celebrities know how to make Halloween into a spectacle. And with the wholehearted return to in-person festivities, high-profile costumes in 2022 are making up for lost time.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Kim Kardashian (@kimkardashian) Take Heidi Klum.

  This article was originally published in June 2016.  In June 2016, hundreds of people gathered in a mass virtual hex, organized by Iowa-based witch Melanie Elizabeth Hexen and intended to put a spell on Brock Turner, the 20-year-old former Stanford University student who was convicted of raping an unconscious woman (later self-identified as Chanel Miller ) behind a dumpster. “I felt good that there was something that I could do about my feelings of anger and helplessness about this case specifically,” says Paige Vanderbeck, a.k.a. The Fat Feminist Witch , a Windsor, Ont.-based witch and tarot card reader who participated in the hex. ”It also felt good to part of a community who felt the same way I did and felt compassion for the survivor of the assault. It felt good to be surrounded by like-minded people.” Vanderbeck says she doesn’t typically do a lot of cursing or hexing, but was compelled to participate after reading comments on the Facebook event...

It’s impossible to ignore Kim Kardashian’s fashion looks. No matter what the reality-TV star wears, you can guarantee it will be the top trending topic the next day. But is she actually stylish or just really, really famous? Two writers weigh in.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Kim Kardashian (@kimkardashian) Kim Kardashian Is a Fashion Icon By Jordan Adrienne Love her, hate her or hate to love her, Kim Kardashian’s style is irresistible. Even the reportedly once reluctant Anna Wintour has seemingly changed her mind. Kim is the original social media influencer — and has been for many years. Now, at 41, she’s traded in her Hervé Léger bandage dresses for experimental Balenciaga couture. (Have you seen her in the Fall 2022 campaign?) So, in my mind, it’s not up for debate: Of course she’s stylish! Think about it. Kim is constantly ahead of the curve. She taught us the importance of contouring and led the biker shorts...

As editor-in-chief Bernadette Morra writes in her editor’s letter for FASHION ‘s November issue spotlighting stylists, “everyone needs a fashion BFF who is going to steer them in the right direction.” For some, that might be your go-to shopping buddy who helps you choose an outfit for your big job interview. For celebrities, that style savant is often a stylist who readies them for red carpets, sources ensembles for press tours and helps curate their overall image. We asked 13 wardrobe wizards what the role of the stylist is in 2022,  and their answers ranged from retail therapy to image management.

Is it in poor taste to discuss fashion and funerals in the same breath? I’d argue not. The outfits worn to an event of mourning can be a stylistic nod to the person who passed. But beyond that, the wealthy widow character has been an aspirational fashion figure in her own right for decades. It is spooky season, after all. As Mean Girls ’ Cady Heron once (kind of) said, “Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total [widow] and no other girls can say anything about it.” And this year, funeral fashion is more alive than ever. Just look at the style stars du jour. It seems celebs are stepping up their sartorial prowess with dark and mysterious looks fit for a high-fashion funeral. Canadian actress Taylor Russel went viral in a gloomy Schiaparelli look, complete with a wide-brim slanted hat and a subtly embroidered jacket. Mia Goth , the unofficial queen of horror, has been sporting widow-appropriate attire with a particular penchant for lace, opera gloves and veil...

Celebrity makeup artist Emily Cheng first considered a career in makeup when, as a teenager, she realized that most of the makeup artists she visited with her friends couldn’t make the looks she wanted work with her features. “I have a monolid, and I learned really early on that you have to be able to look at someone’s face and know how to enhance it without necessarily copying and pasting every technique,” says Cheng. After working with clients of all ages and ethnicities at a Laura Mercier counter in her hometown of Vancouver, she spent years assisting other artists and climbing the ranks until she eventually found herself working alongside none other than industry veteran Pat McGrath .

After travelling back and forth for work in Los Angeles (and dealing with the ...
