How I Turned My Ikea Couch Into a $10,000 Designer Sofa
I don't believe you grow out of Ikea past the age of 25. I love the Swedish brand's minimalist aesthetic. And since I like to mix things up, the price point works for a design commitment-phobe like me. Despite my Ikea love, after three years, my Karlstad sofa started to look a bit sad. Since the low-profile sofa fit perfectly in my open living room, I decided to give it a designer-couch makeover instead of replacing it.
This Raleigh Sectional from Design Within Reach (pictured above) served as my inspiration. The walnut frame matched the midcentury vibe I strive for, and the light fabric color would add to the airy look in my bright living space. That sofa retails for as much as $10,000. I knew I could DIY the look for less. Read on for how I did it.
Meghan Markle Can't Keep Her Eyes (or Hands) Off Prince Harry During Their Latest Appearance
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been making us melt with their affectionate appearances ever since they went public with their relationship. Since since their engagement, we've seen the couple make numerous PDA-filled trips around the UK. On Wednesday, they joined forces with Prince William and Kate Middleton for the first Royal Foundation Forum, a chance to discuss the causes and charities they care deeply about.
From the moment Harry and Meghan stepped on stage for the first discussion of the day, we got a glimpse at how loved-up the pair clearly are. Their body language said it all, and even when Harry had to leave Meghan's side to make a solo speech, photographer Chris Jackson captured images of the former Suits actress watching from the audience, rapt with a dreamy smile on her face. Take a look at their cutest moments from the day now, then catch up with everything we know about their upcoming wedding.
Don't Worry, Other This Is Us Fans Cringed as Hard as You Did During THAT Strip Club Scene
The following contains spoilers for This Is Us.
When it comes to This Is Us relationships, we've always felt like Beth and Randall Pearson might have an even more iconic romance than Jack and Rebecca . . . but during the 16th episode of season two, fans see a side of their marriage that we never knew was there. The episode shows Randall and Beth, who usually make us think "relationship goals!" even when they're mid-argument, erupt into a brutal fight in the middle of a Las Vegas strip club - a Magic Mike Live show, to be specific - and the fan reactions to the scene say it all.
The argument isn't like the ones Beth and Randall usually hash out, where they recognize that they're a team and work collaboratively to solve their issues; rather, it includes deeply personal attacks in the most cringe-worthy public setting imaginable. Add bachelorette Kate for a hefty dose of family drama, and you've got a Pearson family sh*tshow of epic proportions.
Fans couldn't contain their horrified (yet entertaining) reactions to the strip club fight, so we've gathered some of the best ones here for your enjoyment. And good news: before you go writing off Randall and Beth's marriage, check out what Sterling K. Brown has to say about the state of things.

Ever since their first appearance at Christmas, captured by a member of the public in a very memorable photo, we've been waiting to see more of them together. On Wednesday, they definitely looked like royal besties!
Not only are they attentively listening to each other and giggling away among themselves, but they're also twinning in blue outfits. This isn't the first time they've taken tips from each other, either. Meghan definitely took a cue from Kate's bouncy blowouts, and they've both shared fashion tips and even worn the same brands. Clearly, these ladies are two peas in a pod. Ahead, see more of Kate and Meghan's adorable moments together from the event.
Guys, We Have Some Sad News About This Adorable Queer Eye Couple
The season premiere of Queer Eye was a sweet and emotional introduction to the recently released Netflix reboot. The episode followed grandfather and Tex-Mex enthusiast Tom Jackson as he learned how to modernize his wardrobe, establish a skincare routine, and win back his ex-wife Abby, who he maintains is the love of his life.
In the end, Jackson manages to woo Abby with his snazzy new style and the questionable Greek yogurt guacamole recipe Antoni Porowski taught him. They even set up plans for another date in the near future! Unfortunately, the rekindled relationship didn't last long, and Jackson recently updated Queer Eye fans with the news that they are no longer together. To quote Luann de Lesseps, "How could you do this to me? Question mark."
I just watched my episode for about the 20th time. I cry 😭 like a baby 👶 ever time I watch it. Just to let the world 🌎 know, Abby and I are no longer together. She will always be the love ❤️ of my life. I will always love ❤️ her more than anything!!!!!!!
- Tom Jackson (@TomJack20176306) February 28, 2018
On Twitter, Jackson said he was emotional while watching his episode for about the 20th time. (Twenty? Damn.) He added, "Just to let the world know, Abby and I are no longer together. She will always be the love of my life." It does seem that things are amicable between the two, as he has continued to share photos of them spending time together since filming.
On the bright side, Queer Eye recently gave an update on episode four's AJ and Drey: they are engaged! This show is truly an emotional roller coaster.
American Crime Story: Were David Madson and Jeff Trail Actually Dating?
When American Crime Story began season two, it largely stuck to the real-life script, dramatizing Andrew Cunanan murdering Gianni Versace on the steps of Versace's villa in Miami Beach. As the season has gone on and the timeline has moved backward in Cunanan's life, however, the events of the show have started to diverge a bit from real life. The most recent episode, "Descent," continues to highlight one big aspect of why Cunanan allegedly went on his 1997 murder spree - the supposed relationship between Jeff Trail and David Madson - but that actually couldn't be further from the truth.
In rebuilding the timeline of Cunanan's life before the murders, the show has made it look as though Cunanan became jealous of Trail and Madson's relationship, suggesting that may have been why he snapped and killed them both in April 1997. In the episode three weeks ago, "House by the Lake," the two talk in an elevator on the way up to Madson's loft (where Cunanan then kills Trail) about whether Cunanan knows about them; two weeks ago, in "Don't Ask Don't Tell," Cunanan is shown finding a photo of them together with Madson's dog, Prints, in Trail's apartment; and this week they are shown meeting at Norman Blachford's house and hitting it off at Cunanan's birthday party. But from what we can find, Trail and Madson were nothing more than friendly acquaintances.
According to Maureen Orth's book Vulgar Favors: Andrew Cunanan, Gianni Versace, and the Largest Failed Manhunt in U.S. History, which is the source material for this season of ACS, not only were Trail and Madson not involved with each other, but they were also each seeing other people at the time of their deaths. The book claims that Trail was dating a man named Jon Hackett, while Madson was involved with several men: Cedric Rucker in Virginia, a graphic artist in Atlanta, and a local Minneapolis man. Prior to that, they had both been in other relationships. Trail moved to Minneapolis with a man named Casey Murray, and Madson had been dating Robbie Davis. The only mention of them spending time together is at a sushi dinner with Cunanan and three other men in the Spring of 1996.
So even though Madson and Trail had hung out together socially with Cunanan, it doesn't sound like they were having some kind of relationship with each other behind his back. In Orth's Vanity Fair article that preceded her book about Cunanan's life and murder spree, she says that Madson "casually" befriended Trail when Trail moved to Minneapolis and that Trail warned Madson that Cunanan was a liar, but that seems to be the extent of their relationship with each other.
American Crime Story is making them out to be secret lovers, perhaps trying to assign some kind of motive behind their senseless deaths. It's quite the leap to take, especially since the show is not viewing everything strictly through Cunanan's eyes. If it were doing that, it might be logical to explore how Cunanan was having some paranoid delusions about his two friends becoming involved with each other. But that's not what the show is doing; instead, this seems to be one of the aspects where the writers have taken great liberties with the truth.

You may recognize the 28-year-old Mexican actress from Baby Driver and Justin Timberlake's "Supplies" music video.

This Is Us: Does Toby Even Have a Last Name?
We've learned quite a bit about Toby (Chris Sullivan) during the past two seasons of This Is Us - he was previously married; he's a fan of big romantic gestures for his fiancée Kate; and he really loves dogs and old TV shows. But there's one thing about Toby that we never really hear about on the series - his last name.
So, what is Toby's last name? According to IMDB, Toby's last name is Damon. Toby Damon. Probably no relation to Matt, but it does raise some questions: will Kate take his last name if and when they get married, or will she continue to go by Pearson? Kate's close bond with her late father, Jack, suggests that she may not want to get rid of his surname. Either way, you can now rest knowing Toby's full name and go back to staring at his over-the-top outfits.

Kelly Clarkson Can Barely Finish This Bizarre Version of "Stronger" Without Cracking Up
Jimmy Fallon's hilarious Google Translate game is back! During Kelly Clarkson's appearance on The Tonight Show, she graciously agreed to sing her hit song "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)," but there was a catch. Jimmy ran all the lyrics through Google Translate, resulting in bizarre lines like, "Think you have destroyed my hair, I will try a new exercise, don't dodge my kid because I'm crazy." Needless to say, Kelly could barely get through it without cracking up (we don't blame her).

Bachelor Fans, It Sounds Like We're in For One Wild Season Finale
Chris Harrison may be the host who cried "most dramatic," but he's promised this season of The Bachelor will end with a shocking finale. If Arie's comments about the season are any indication, it sounds like Harrison might not be exaggerating this time.
Becca and Lauren B. are the final two women competing for Arie's heart, and he's already told both women that he's in love with them. History (aka Ben Higgins's season) tells us that multiple L-bombs will spark a controversy or two, and fans got a hint that some serious drama is on the horizon courtesy of Caroline. During "The Women Tell All" episode, she called Arie out for his behavior, saying, "I know what you did, and I don't know how you could do that. I just really don't understand, but I hope you found what you're looking for." Yikes.
So what, exactly, did Arie do? Caroline didn't reveal specific details on air, but she told E! News that she was sticking up for a friend, saying, "I needed to have that best-friend moment where you're like, 'Hey, I know what you did. Screw you.'" We'll get to see exactly what she's talking about when we tune in to the finale next week, but Caroline told The Hollywood Reporter "it was so much worse than anything, ever, in Bachelor history." She said, "I feel like it is probably the worst heartbreak in the show's history."
Arie has also dropped hints about what's to come in the season finale. "I made a mistake," he told People. "And I'm prepared for the backlash. But all I can say is I had to follow my heart."
Ladies and gentlemen, will this truly be the most dramatic season of The Bachelor yet?
Why The Name of the Wind Will Be the Next Game of Thrones
I've never tried heroin. But the reason it's addicting is because users are always chasing after that first, and best, high. The problem is they're working with the same substance over and over again. For book-lovers, we are fortunate enough to have a different substance each time. In each read, there's always the chance that we'll get lost in the pages, have an experience we've never had before, and won't be able to put the book down. And for lifelong readers, this is always what we're hoping for when we buy our next book.
For me, The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss was one of those experiences.
While I read widely now, I grew up on a steady diet of fantasy novels by authors like Tolkien and Lewis to Terry Brooks and Robert Jordan. And like any fan, I have enjoyed George R.R. Martin's series A Song of Ice and Fire. Now, with Martin's novels launching fantasy epics into mainstream popularity with the HBO series Game of Thrones, Martin has paved ground for more to rise up just like it. But nothing has quite been able to follow.
Enter Patrick Rothfuss, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and the next big thing in fantasy. With a forthcoming movie, TV series, and video game produced by Lionsgate, here are three reasons I think The Name of the Wind is primed to take the throne after Game of Thrones.
A Unique and Excellent Fantasy Epic
First and foremost is the quality of the story and the characters. If you're a fiction reader, you've probably heard of The Name of the Wind; if you're a fantasy enthusiast, then you definitely have. It's a first-person account of one young man's journey of revenge. OK, there's a lot more to it than that. It's an excellently written story with characters that you just want to hang out with in a fantastical world that is - and isn't at all - similar to Westeros. In the fantasy genre, this series stands out for its style, characters, magic system, and world-building. If you haven't read it yet, get on it!
An Avid Fan Base
Like Martin's books, Rothfuss has built for himself legions of fans. According to a 2015 article in Forbes, his novels have sold more than 10 million copies. His events are frequently packed, with hour-long book-signing lines. There's been countless cosplaying, fan art, and fan fiction, and this year he released a 10th-anniversary edition of The Name of the Wind. All this to say: fantasy fans are some of the most enthusiastic fans in the world, and there's no doubt they're primed for a Name of the Wind takeover.
The @PatrickRothfuss came through and it was as glorious as I'd hoped. Earned my pipes. pic.twitter.com/uVpYMR7mcy
- Lin-Manuel Miranda (@Lin_Manuel) June 25, 2016
Lin-Manuel Miranda
Excellent novels; a drooling fan base; a movie, TV, and video game deal - this story is only missing one thing. And you're all thinking it: Lin-Manuel Miranda. Lately, everything the writer/actor/singer touches seems to turn to gold, from Disney's Moana to his Pulitzer Prize-winning Hamilton. Fans worried about an adaptation of The Name of the Wind must have breathed a collective sigh of relief when Lin-Manuel Miranda stepped in as "chairman of the Don't F*ck It Up Committee." According to Variety, he'll "serve as producer of the franchise and is expected to compose the original music and write the songs."
Don't get me wrong here: I don't want to claim that The Name of the Wind adaptations will attempt to copy or be anything like Game of Thrones. The story and characters and style are vastly different. Each has its own unique qualities. The Name of the Wind will be a completely new experience. But with the growing excitement for the fantasy genre stirred up by Martin and HBO, it seems like the perfect time for the next big fantasy obsession to take the media by storm. And I say "storm" because with wonderfully imaginative stories, with fans that will show up and dress up, and with a creative (Pulitzer Prize-winning) team, The Name of the Wind has all the ingredients for a perfect fantasy hurricane. So hold your breath, keep an eye on the news, and, in the meantime, go read the series!
Quentin Tarantino's Manson Murders Movie Now Has a Title and Brad Pitt!
Image Source: Getty / Kevin Winter
It's clear by now that Quentin Tarantino isn't afraid of diving into some pretty gory, gruesome stories, and his next project only further confirms it. In July 2017, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Tarantino is in the early stages of putting together a film described as "a unique take on the Manson Family murders." Here are the scraps of information we've been able to pull together so far:
The Production Team
The drama, which would be his follow-up to 2015's The Hateful Eight, will be called Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and a source confirmed that Tarantino has already penned the script for Sony and will direct. The movie is being produced by Tarantino, Harry Potter's David Heyman, and Shannon McIntosh, with Georgia Kacandes serving as executive producer.
The Cast
On the casting front, THR confirmed that Inglourious Basterds alum Brad Pitt will play stunt double Cliff Booth, and longtime Tarantino collaborator Samuel L. Jackson will likely play a lead in the film as well, Deadline reports. Jennifer Lawrence has also been approached, but apparently she's not being considered for the role of Sharon Tate (the pregnant actress murdered by members of Charles Manson's cult). Instead, it seems Tarantino has his eye on Margot Robbie for that role. Hopefully they can finagle the movie's production schedule around her work in the upcoming Harley Quinn spin-off, because she seems like a spot-on choice.
Although Tom Cruise is reportedly still being considered for Manson, THR revealed that Leonardo DiCaprio will be playing the role of struggling actor Rick Dalton (Pitt's character is his stunt double). According to Tarantino, "Both are struggling to make it in a Hollywood they don't recognize anymore. But Rick has a very famous next-door neighbor . . . Sharon Tate." The decision seems pretty fitting, considering how great DiCaprio and Tarantino worked together on 2012's Django Unchained. We can bet he'll deliver a standout performance. After all, it will be the actor's first film since winning an Oscar for The Revenant in 2016.
In a statement, Tarantino said, "I've been working on this script for five years, as well as living in Los Angeles County most of my life, including in 1969, when I was seven years old. I'm very excited to tell this story of an LA and a Hollywood that don't exist anymore. And I couldn't be happier about the dynamic teaming of DiCaprio & Pitt as Rick & Cliff."
The Story
Script details are still very much under wraps, but the script is a "Pulp Fiction-esque movie set during the time of the Manson murder spree in Los Angeles," according to Deadline. That definitely makes it seem like the infamous murder itself will be more of a backdrop to the actual story, even if Sharon Tate and Charles Manson make appearances.
Tate, the Hollywood actress and pregnant wife of famed (and disgraced) director Roman Polanski, was brutally murdered by the followers of cult leader Manson in August 1969. Tate and four other people - Wojciech Frykowski, Abigail Folger, Jay Sebring, and Steven Parent - were staying at Polanski's LA home in Benedict Canyon when Manson followers Tex Watson, Susan Atkins, Patricia Krenwinkel, and Linda Kasabian broke in and savagely murdered them with guns and knives. Tate was eight months pregnant at the time, adding an even more tragic touch to the already disturbing case.
A few months later, Manson and his followers were arrested for auto theft, including Atkins, who later told her cellmate that she was responsible for Tate's death "because we wanted to do a crime that would shock the world, that the world would have to stand up and take notice." By 1971, Manson and a few members of his following were sentenced to life in prison for the Benedict Canyon murders.
The Premiere Date
Deadline reports that Once Upon a Time in Hollywood will hit theaters on Aug. 9, 2019, which is the 50th anniversary of Sharon Tate's death. Talk about macabre.

I Didn't Eat Dinner For 1 Week and This Is What Happened to My Belly
My almost-nine-month intermittent fasting (IF) journey has been life-changing. Who knew not eating breakfast would make me feel so energized, more focused, and less bloated, as well as help me sleep better and lose that extra baby weight I had been holding onto for years? I love that it gives me the freedom to eat bigger meals and to eat what I want. Sticking with IF has been a no-brainer.
Before
The only issue is, as you can see from the above photo, even though I've kept up with my workouts, I've been chowing on a little too much during my eating window and I've gained a few extra pounds. While intermittent fasting helps me keep my calories in check throughout the day, over the last month, I got in the habit of overeating at dinner.
Not only could I see it in my belly - the first place I tend to gain weight - but I felt so uncomfortably bloated. Stomach pains were keeping me up at night, and feeling bloated in the morning made it hard to push myself during my 5:45 a.m. CrossFit classes. Another side effect: I was feeling super hungry a couple hours earlier than I normally would the next day.
After
I had to make a change. After talking with fellow POPSUGAR Fitness editor Gina Florio, who also does intermittent fasting but eats between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., I decided to switch up my eating window. Instead of skipping breakfast, I was going to skip dinner and see how I felt.
Instead of eating from noon to 7 p.m., I ate from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., keeping up with the seven-hour eating window that worked for me. Here's what I ate:
9:00 a.m.: Overnight oats with peanut butter, chia seeds, pecans, and blueberries or a protein smoothie with a homemade granola bar
1:00 p.m.: Big kale salad with tofu, chickpeas, sunflower seeds, and avocado
3:30 p.m.: Banana with nut butter or Kite Hill almond milk yogurt with berries and nuts
The first three days were f*cking hard. It was weird to eat before noon after not eating breakfast for almost nine months. I hated how foggy-headed I was and how low-energy I felt from digesting.
Here's the part that sucked the most. Having two young kids, family dinner time is everything. I absolutely love cooking and creating nourishing meals. I love sitting around the dinner table, sharing a warm home-cooked meal, talking about our days, laughing, and just enjoying the one time we can all be together during the day that isn't rushed. I was still able to chat with everyone, but sitting there with a cup of tea and an empty plate just wasn't the same. I wasn't prepared for how sad I'd feel missing out. I wasn't hungry at all - I was just sad.
Physically, I did feel much better. Falling asleep was more challenging, since I felt a little hungry and daydreaming about food kept me up. But since I wasn't overeating at night, I had no more evening bloating and I slept well. When I woke up at 5 a.m. to go to the gym, I was unusually starving, though. Hunger pangs went away after I started the workout, but I felt a little less energized to push myself.
I could not wait to go back to my old eating window of skipping breakfast. It just works better with my life and feels way more effortless, so it's something I can maintain. This one-week challenge did teach me a thing or two about controlling my overeating issues, though.
Missing out on family dinner time has reminded me why it's so damn important. I've been putting less food on my plate and really focusing on talking more and eating slower. I realized that much of my overeating happens after dinner is over. So now I don't finish what my kids didn't eat and I put away the leftovers before we start eating so I'm not tempted just to grab extra spoonfuls of pasta or soup just because it's there. I've also stopped nibbling on food while making the kids' lunches for the next day.
Although I loved how amazing my belly felt (and looked) after skipping dinner, there is no way in hell I could maintain this and still be happy. I'll never skip dinner again! If you're going to try intermittent fasting, find an eating window that works with your life. It should be effortless. If it's not, you're not doing it right.

9 Travel Mistakes to Stop Making Once You Hit 30
Life changes when you hit 30 - in a good way. When I turned 30, I felt like I really settled into myself and my life. I learned to live with things I didn't like in my 20s (myself, mostly), and I learned to let go and just really live. I also have made new promises to myself for when I travel, and a lot of them revolve around spending a little extra money here and there to travel more comfortably. Sure, travel is about going outside your comfort zone, but I'd rather not spend extra time in an airport or on public transportation if I don't need to. I want to be on my vacation, not spending forever getting to it. So, friends, if you're in your 30s or very near that point in your life, take my advice and do these nine things to enrich your vacation.
I Tried CBD Oil to Calm My Nerves While Flying, and This Is What Happened
I have such an intense love/hate relationship with flying. I think flying is one of the coolest experiences, but it still absolutely terrifies me for reasons that make no sense whatsoever. While in flight, I go through several routines that help calm my nerves, and if any of it is thrown out of whack, I find myself having a near meltdown. But at the advice of POPSUGAR Fitness editor Dominique Astorino, who used CBD oil for anxiety, I decided to try it on my last batch of flights to see how it would work for me.
My CBD oil of choice was Diamond CBD oil in cotton candy flavor, because I'm nothing if not a child at heart. Over the course of four flights, I experimented with how much I used and when to see if I could find the magic formula. I opted to fully use it as a tincture, as that is the easiest for me to do while traveling. But, rather than drop it into any liquid, I put it straight in my mouth for efficiency.
Flight 1: New York to Denver
Because of poor planning on my part, I got to the airport much later than I wanted to for this flight, which meant I didn't take my CBD oil until I'd already boarded the plane. I opted to do two nearly full pumps of the dropper because I tend to be fairly resistant to CBD and THC and I wanted to really relax. About an hour into the flight, I started to feel slightly tired but not drowsy and pretty relaxed. Overall, the flight was pretty calm, but once we were coming into Denver, which is never fun, I was hyperaware of everything, and the CBD had no effect at that point.
Flight 2: Denver to San Francisco
I had a very short layover in Denver and wasn't sure if I should try topping off my earlier dose of CBD, but I went for it, because, again, Denver airport problems. I only used one dropper full this time, and it was about five hours after my previous dose and about 30 minutes before my flight. Our takeoff was terrible, so I would have loved to be relaxed, but this time I felt no effects of the CBD oil other than my palms feeling extra sweaty. The relaxation reached me later in the flight, but at that point, I didn't feel like I needed it as much.
Flight 3: Los Angeles to Denver
Poor planning on my part resulted in me flying through Denver again to come back home, despite how much anxiety the flight route gives me. But I was better prepared on the CBD front this time, which was a very good thing when I realized that a lot of my usual comforts during a flight were going to be taken from me. I checked into my Southwest flight far later than I usually do and was stuck with a bad boarding spot, which meant no window. Then the passenger who had the window seat of my row closed the shade, and I actually wanted to panic. Luckily, I had taken three droppers full of CBD oil about 45 minutes prior to this and had already started to feel drowsy. Despite being very uncomfortable during the entire flight, the CBD absolutely helped to calm me down.
Flight 4: Denver to New York
I finally got it right for the fourth flight. After another layover in Denver, where I topped up on the CBD with another two droppers, I was actually able to nod off during the flight. It's extremely rare for me to feel calm and comfortable enough during a flight to actually fall asleep, so this was a bit of a miracle.
Overall, I would recommend this particular CBD oil for anyone who is a nervous traveler. The percentage of CBD in the oil is low enough to make it legal to purchase, carry, and use, but it's still concentrated enough to give you the calming effects. The small bottles are actually perfect for travel, because they meet TSA requirements for the amount of liquid you're allowed to bring on a plane. However, all that being said, make sure to read the instructions that come with any CBD or hemp products you purchase and adjust accordingly to see what will work for you.

The 6 Biggest Trends to Come Out of Fashion Week Are Exactly What You Want to Wear
If you're the type to shy away from new trends out of fear they're too eccentric, welcome Fall 2018 with open arms. At New York Fashion Week, all we saw were familiar patterns, colors, coats, and layering tricks, perhaps just worn in new ways. The five most prominent style statements are ones virtually anyone could pull off - and they're all ridiculously flattering, too.

Elizabeth Taylor Had Some of the Strongest Hat Game in Hollywood History - and It's Perfect Inspiration
It's been seven years since Elizabeth Taylor passed away, and the Hollywood legend left behind a legacy of classic films, HIV/AIDS activism, and iconic style. Elizabeth found a way to make the trends of each decade work for her, whether it was the form-fitting dresses of the 1950s, the floaty caftans of the '60s and '70s, or the shoulder pads and bold prints of the '80s. But one major style staple that Elizabeth owned more than any other was her headwear. Liz had some of the strongest hat game in Hollywood, from oversize headdresses to bright, artfully wrapped scarves. While she certainly didn't begin the headwrap craze, Elizabeth Taylor definitely made it one of her signatures. Read on for the legendary actress's most stylish headwear moments.
I Wore Leggings to Fashion Week Because I Didn't Feel Like Dressing Up, and It Was Liberating
For fashion girls, getting dressed up for New York Fashion Week is like a rite of passage. There's pressure to look good at shows, especially if you're sitting front row, and to be harmonious with the stylish crowd. I mean, there's the chance you could potentially run into Anna Wintour! And what if that run-in feels like a scene out of The Devil Wears Prada? You know, like when Andy Sachs awkwardly meets Miranda Priestly for the first time. I kept all those notes in mind while picking out outfits for shows last year. But this season, something changed. I didn't give a sh*t about dressing up.
That's not to say I went to shows in sweats (I thought about it), but I wasn't going to stay up until midnight picking out a look or spend my weekend creating seven "Fashion Week-worthy" outfits. I decided to dress like myself this season - to be genuinely satisfied with what I already had in my closet. I did not ask designers or brands to borrow clothes, though fashion editors are notorious for doing this ahead of Fashion Week. (I did, however, borrow combat boots, only to participate in a fellow editor's photo shoot.) But I most definitely didn't buy new pieces just to wear to shows.
What was my motive? I wanted to prove to myself that my everyday style isn't "bleh" and that I don't need to dress up for shows to have fun. (If you thoroughly enjoy doing that, though, all the power to you.) I wanted to simply go appreciate a designer's collection without making the day all about me and my outfits. I think many women beat themselves up over not "having anything to wear" out of fear of repeating separates, but if you have invested in quality pieces that you feel good in, who cares if they're not statement-worthy?
So while my coworkers were asking each other "What are you wearing?" and "How should I style this?", getting excited over their new fashionable finds, I sat there, saying, "I don't know. I think I will wear leggings one day."
This idea isn't exactly out of the box if you've been following the athleisure trend. Celebrities like Kendall Jenner and other street style stars have made leggings, and by extension, joggers and track pants, trendy again, rocking them with crop tops, sweaters, and sporty sneakers. Brands like Adidas have capitalized on the athleisure uniform and labels such as Off-White and Vetements show that casual streetwear looks are now the norm, not the exception. So with the approval of these major industry players, I wore my usual attire of sweaters, jeans, and hoodies to the shows.
To take the work out of creating outfits, I even let my boyfriend dress me for a day, thanks to a genius plan devised by my fellow editor, Nikita. I also repeated clothes and accessories and didn't give that a second thought. In fact, I wore the same Topshop coat so much, our photographer politely suggested that maybe I leave it out for our final round of outfit photos. I nodded and LOL-ed to myself.
My looks were admittedly not the most exciting to street style paparazzi, hungry for those "OMG" outfit shots - they let me walk on by without taking a single snap - but that was completely OK with me. I still felt confident, happy, and at ease as I walked alongside ladies who were definitely dressed to impress in the latest designer gear. I felt liberated to be wearing whatever I wanted and I rode that high every day to shows.
On one of the final days of Fashion Week, I did wear my Zara leggings, as promised, with a black sweater and a leather jacket. I rocked this outfit while sitting front row at Anna Sui and I have never felt more comfortable at a show than I did then.
The best part? I don't think anyone remembered the outfit I wore. (Granted, I wasn't someone of Blake Lively's caliber sitting front row, though I'd challenge her to rock leggings to a show one day, too.) All the guests busily 'grammed Gigi and Bella Hadid on the Anna Sui runway and were too enamored by the Fall '18 collection to notice a girl in the front row wearing leggings. In my opinion, that's the way it should be.
Kate Middleton's Trick For Staying Stylish Yet Comfortable While Pregnant Is Absolutely Brilliant
Kate Middleton's latest fashion lesson might just be her best one yet. When she stepped out for a visit at the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in London, the Duchess of Cambridge wore a bespoke Jenny Packham coat over a matching dress, which she accessorized with a clutch, Jimmy Choo pumps, and sapphire jewels. While we're used to seeing Kate wearing blue - it is her power color after all - we'd never realized that there's an ingenious reason behind her gorgeous pregnancy outfits.
As her baby bump starts to grow, the duchess generally turns to tailored coats and floaty dresses, and it all makes perfect sense: the fitted outerwear allows her to look incredibly stylish, while the dresses mean that she can stay comfortable during her official visits. It's a simple yet totally brilliant trick that makes all the difference! Ahead, get a closer look at her outfit, then shop similar pieces for yourself.
Kate Moss's Cool Girl '90s Style Is Just as Covetable Now
In July 1990, a fresh-faced Kate Moss graced the cover of The Face magazine. The accompanying spread, famously shot by photographer Corinne Day in Camber Sands, England, launched her career as a model. It caught the attention of the team at Calvin Klein, who soon had a topless Kate posing with Mark Wahlberg for one of the brand's most famous underwear campaigns, as well as signing her as the face of the fragrance Obsession. Along with her supermodel pals, Kate Moss ruled the '90s: she even had a hot Hollywood boyfriend in Johnny Depp.
Those early days gave us a glimpse at an evolving personal style that would turn her into an enduring style icon, from her predilection for all-black outfits, to a passion for simple satin slip dresses. Even in her early 20s, Kate knew exactly how to put together an outfit that would turn heads with its simplicity and nonchalance (um, and those supermodel good looks). Take a look back at some of Kate's early appearances now, as we plan exactly how to re-create some of her most memorable '90s looks for ourselves!

Jennifer Aniston Might Have a Hard Time Saying Goodbye to Her Enormous Engagement Ring
After Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux announced their separation, many fans started to speculate about a Jennifer and Brad Pitt reunion. But we fashion girls had something else on our minds. We wanted to know what would happen to her engagement ring! Justin proposed to Jen in 2012 with an estimated eight carat stunner, after more than a year of dating. While Jennifer admitted back then she took awhile to get "used to it," since she wasn't a "diamond girl," Jen wore the ring on every red carpet since receiving it.
The sparkler, however, has now become a hot topic in the ex-couple's divorce. Will Jen keep it? Will she give it back? An L.A. based attorney and certified family law specialist may have given us a clue as to what will happen. "The engagement ring pre-dates the marriage, and therefore is Jennifer's separate property regardless of whether it is mentioned in the prenuptial agreement. As long as the parties get married, then the recipient keeps the engagement ring," said David Glass to People.
If what he says is true - and if Jennifer and Justin really got married (there are rumors they didn't) - then, obviously, Jennifer would get to keep the ring. Otherwise, it appears the actress might have to let it go. In that case, at least we'll always have the photos below. Read on to zoom in on her sparkler, then check out Jen's Jennifer Meyer wedding band.

Here's What Kate Moss Is Worth After Decades as a Model
When you think of supermodels, you most likely think of Kate Moss. The British model is one of the most famous models of all time, and she has the bank account to back it up.
Although Gisele Bündchen has held the title of highest paid model on Forbes's list since 2002 - until 2017, when she was bumped by Kendall Jenner - Kate has always remained relevant both in the industry and in her earnings.
In 2016, she was No. 13 on Forbes's highest-paid models list with $5 million in earnings, and in 2017, she earned $7 million but didn't even make the top 10. Kate's been in the industry since she was 14 years old, however, so she has a lot more money saved in the bank at this point, so not making the Forbes list is no big deal.
Thanks to her many years as a supermodel, earning campaigns with the top designers, including jewelry designer David Yurman, Stuart Weitzman, Burberry, and more throughout her career, Kate consistently earns near or above the $5 million mark (sometimes way above it), and technically she's not in her modeling prime. Last year's number is also partly due to her fashion collaboration with Topshop and previous work with Rimmel London.
In 2014, she was named Britain's richest model with approximately $70 million (or £50 million) as her net worth, beating out her fellow supermodel and close friend Naomi Campbell, who was at $28 million (£20 million) at the time. She has held the title of Britain's highest-paid model for numerous years, but in 2017, she was knocked down to the No. 3 spot, earning $7 million (£5 million), whereas Cara Delevingne, who earned the No. 1 spot, came in at $11 million (£8 million).
When it comes to her overall net worth now, however, Kate has approximately $80 million to her name, which is just insane. The fact that she's been working in the modeling world since the late '80s, making her a supermodel for at least three decades, is why she will always be one of the best models of all time - especially if you're talking British models - and we are big fans.
22 Times Kendall Jenner's Bikinigrams Were So Sexy, We Didn't Know Where to Look
Kendall Jenner is one celebrity who doesn't mind showing a little, OK, sometimes a lot, of skin. When she isn't twinning with gal pal and fellow model Bella Hadid on the streets, Kendall's showing off her amazing bikini style on Instagram.
The supermodel has pretty much tried every swimsuit style in the book, and she never fails to impress us. Whether she's in a retro pink Lisa Marie Fernandez swimsuit or a scandalous thong bikini by Montce Swim, you can always count on Kendall to bring the heat. Read on to have a look at Kendall's best bikinigrams over the years.
Kim Kardashian Landed Vogue India's March Cover, and It's All Anyone Can Talk About
Kim Kardashian landed herself another major magazine cover. The reality star graced the pages of Vogue India for the first time ever with the March 2018 issue. On the cover, Kim posed seductively in a Jean Paul Gaultier Couture tulle saree dress that featured a sheer hoodie. For the shoot, Kim actually wore several outfits by Indian designers such as Anita Dongre, Anamika Khanna, and Sabyasachi.
Since the news about the issue broke, Twitter users have gone into a frenzy arguing that the magazine should highlight Indian models rather than Western pop culture stars. Kim's not alone in facing this type of backlash. Her sister Kendall Jenner also stirred up controversy when she posed for Vogue India's 10th anniversary. Read on to see pictures from Kim's cover story to check out all the buzz.
My Boyfriend Dressed Me For Fashion Week, and Um . . .
There have been plenty of times where I dressed up in what I thought was a cute, fashion-forward outfit, only to have my boyfriend, Pat, say, "Is THAT what you're wearing?" Ironically, it's those exact outfits that have gotten me the most compliments. After talking with my coworkers and friends, it seemed like I wasn't the only who faced this conundrum.
With Fashion Week around the corner, I decided that instead of worrying about what I was going to wear, I would just make Pat choose my outfit. Plus, I have to admit, I was quite curious to see what he actually thought about Fashion Week and if he had learned my fashion likes and dislikes over the years. (I mean, it has been seven years - he must have picked up on some things, right?)
With this mission in mind, I enlisted the help of my fellow fashion editors to join in on the action and have their SOs dress them for one day too. From a shiny disco ball look to a Guy Fieri-inspired outfit, the outcomes were pretty amazing. Without further adieu, I give you all of the outfits our boyfriends dressed us in during Fashion Week.
Read on to look at the final outfits, along with our dudes' hilarious commentary that let us in on the inner workings of their minds. You can even shop some of the pieces we wore, that is, if you're feeling inspired.
