Fashion is always functioning as a statement. What you choose to put on your body, whether it’s intentional or not, sends a message to the outside world about who you are. But for women who adhere to modest fashion — a style often shrouded by reductive associations of restraint — these clothing connotations are more complicated. On the Cannes 2024 red carpet, Somali-born star Rawdah Mohamed is using her covered-up looks to push the conversation forward. Last year, the model went viral after sporting Robert Wun’s scorched bride couture creation on the Cannes 2023 red carpet. The macabre moment ..read more

WORDS BY ANNIKA LAUTENS Paris Hilton is not hot — far from it. It’s an early evening in March and we’re in the courtyard of Pad90210, a beautiful midcentury house in Beverly Hills. Reliably warm L.A. turns chilly as the sun fades. Posing in a tiny Prada two-piece on the set of FASHION’s Summer 2024 cover shoot, Hilton bravely tries to hide her shivers. Dress, $4,995, Michael Kors Collection. Rings (left and ..read more

Fashion’s Super Bowl, the Met Gala, is the event for many celebrities — the one night they can truly go wild with fashion and beauty, donning pieces of art that are meant to be ogled instead of marketed to be sold (if they can score a coveted invite, of course). It’s a huge night for anyone who loves looking at beautiful people wearing beautiful things, which is why it’s major news when a Met Gala regular skips out. And at the 2024 Met Gala, there were a lot of red carpet fixtures who didn’t dress up this year. Below, all the Met Gala 2024 missing stars who missed fashion’s biggest fête in 202 ..read more

In case you missed it, on May 6, the biggest stars in movies, music and fashion hit the botanical green carpet of the 2024 Met Gala, outfitted with the evening’s “Garden of Time” dress code in mind. As expected, there were a lot of hits (yes, Mindy!), a few misses (really, Doja Cat?) and many celebs who were rendered temporarily immobile in the name of fashion. Cardi B’s gargantuan gown require ..read more

The annual Met Gala brought celebs back to the Metropolitan Museum of Art carpet in some serious looks. From gravity-defying nature-inspired headpieces to theatrical makeup and avante-garde gowns (singer Tyla was literally wearing sand!!), the biggest stars truly pushed the limits.

The ensemble featured a cashmere cardigan draped over an antique silver brocade corset and a silver metal overskirt featuring intricate details of lace, flowers and leaves — a nod to the g ..read more

Attending the Met Gala for the first time is decidedly no small feat. There are Kim Kardashian antics to contend with, flocks of photographers shouting from all angles, and, of course, the daunting task of ascending steep steps as the internet eagerly judges on. But at the 2024 Met Gala, one newbie arguably stole the show: Tyla. What did Tyla wear to the Met Gala? Known best as the singer of “Water,” a bop that has taken over TikTok, the 22-year-old star came to the Met with a look that added new depth to her artistry. Wearing a body-hugging Balmain dress made of actual sand, her hourglass fig ..read more

On the Met Gala red carpet 2024, stars like Ashley Graham, Gigi Hadid and Emma Chamberlain wore floral couture in keeping with the evening’s dress code, “Garden of Time.” This year’s soirée, co-chaired by Zendaya, Jennifer Lopez, Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth, celebrates The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute’s latest exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” honouring exceptionally rare and delicate garments — the “sleeping beauties” of the Costume Institute’s co ..read more
