Lupita Nyong'o looks breathtaking just about any time she sets foot on a red carpet, so should we really be surprised that her look practically stole the show at the Governors Awards? Not really, but that still doesn't change the fact that my jaw is currently on the floor.
The Black Panther actress made an appearance at the Sunday evening ceremony wearing an ivory Tom Ford fringe dress that's giving me all the 1920s It-girl vibes in the world. The floor-length gown's design featured cold shoulder sleeves, layered fringe, and a plunging v-neck.

This Bride Is the Daughter of a Shoe Designer, So You Can Imagine What's Under Her Wedding Gown
Casadei shoes - you know 'em? Worn by the likes of Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lopez, and Ciara on the red carpet, the luxury footwear brand is fronted by Cesare Casadei, whose daughter, Arianna, works closely with him at the company. Arianna's now-husband Nicolò also works for Cesare, making Casadei a true family-run business.
When the pair celebrated their Summer nuptials in San Mauro Pascoli, Italy, Arianna knew what dress she would wear. "From the very beginning, I always dreamed about getting married in Elie Saab . . . At first, I didn't want to try on the dress I ended up picking. It was 'so me,' and I wanted something different for such an important occasion. But my dad really wanted to see it on, and once I [put it on], it was love at first sight," Arianna told Vogue of her strapless, embroidered design that fell to the floor.
Her custom bridal heels, on the other hand, were not revealed to her until the day of her wedding and featured surprising details like a heartwarming message on the sole: "Alla mia cucciola," which means, "To my darling girl." Not only that, they were the stars of the show, despite being hidden underneath her ivory lace and tulle skirt, complete with multiple ankle straps and crystal floral appliqués.
Arianna's jewelry was her something borrowed, a pair of earrings from her aunt's collection to wear on her special day. Ahead, scroll through gorgeous shots of Arianna's ensemble, and check out the silver metallic sandals she changed into for dancing. For natural reasons, it seems that two pairs of shoes were more crucial than a second dress for this bride. Hmm, we wonder why?
17 Celebrity Fall Denim Looks That Feel So On Right Now
There's no one better to turn to for chic-as-hell denim than celebs. Hollywood's elite get their hands on styles that often haven't even been launched yet. Meanwhile, the supermodels are pioneers for some of the risky trends we couldn't even imagine pulling off ourselves - that is, until we start to feel inspired by staring at their outfits all day long. For Fall 2018, women like Emma Stone, Alexa Chung, and Chloë Grace Moretz seem to be up on the dark wash boot-cut wagon, while Kourtney Kardashian and Mila Kunis rock the mom jean like it's nobody's business. We gathered their looks and came up with some tips and tricks so you don't run out of ideas all season long.
OK, Now We're Convinced Kate and Meghan Text Each Other About Their Outfits
Meghan Markle wasn't the only duchess to step out on Wednesday in a burgundy outfit. A few hours after Meghan visited the Hubb Community Kitchen in West London, her sister-in-law Kate Middleton made an appearance a few miles away, at University College London, as part of her ongoing work concerning early intervention.
For the occasion, Kate once again pulled out an old faithful, choosing a Paule Ka suit that she first wore in 2012 (seriously, how big is her closet, and does she ever throw anything out?). We last saw the double-breasted jacket and A-line skirt in 2017, when she styled the suit with a turtleneck sweater and knee-high boots. This time around, she kept the turtleneck but swapped the boots for a pair of block-heeled pumps.
The dark red outfit was the perfect match for the look Meghan wore earlier in the day. The double duchesses also accessorized in an eerily similar way: both wore thick black tights (well, it is 40 degrees in London right now) and chose velvet textures for added detail: Meghan's dress had a velvet collar, while Kate wore a pretty (and very on-trend) velvet ribbon in her hair. Keep reading for a closer look at Kate's ensemble.
Kaia Gerber and Cindy Crawford Have Mother-Daughter Street Style on Lock, Can't You See?
When Kaia Gerber and mom Cindy Crawford exited the Bel-Air Hotel in Los Angeles, their outfits didn't appear entirely similar - at least, not at first glance. Kaia was sporting a breezy blue wrap dress with the same high-top Converse she wore the day before while out with Kendall Jenner. However so subtly, Cindy matched her daughter in a cobalt blazer and denim, choosing an oversize crocodile tote in black, whereas Kaia carried a mini version. Cindy's oversize hoops were the answer to Kaia's tiny, delicate ones, and Cindy wore Christian Louboutin stiletto booties for ultimate sophistication.
While Kaia and Cindy enjoyed warmer weather, we can't help but be drawn to Kaia's floaty printed number, which would be any gal's go-to as she packed for a mid-Winter getaway. Ahead, check out more pics of Kaia and Cindy's outing, then shop similar looks to Kaia's throw-on-and-go piece.
This Is Why Amal Clooney's Outfits Are Always So Darn Good
If you're the type who arrives at a party, the office, or even the movies dressed to impress, you're not alone - that's just how us fashion girls roll. But while statement shoes and furry jackets will surely make jaws drop, it might be time to take some tips from a star who's got classic, elevated style down pat: Amal Clooney.
No matter where she's headed, from court to the red carpet, Amal's outfits always stand out in the crowd. It's not so much that what she wears is so different or out-there; it's that she doesn't overdo it, knows how to accessorize, and always keeps things classy (no revealing dresses here).
Read on for 19 tips we'll be borrowing from Mrs. Clooney.
Lady Gaga in a Voluminous Valentino Gown Is More Than a Look - It's an Entire Mood
Lady Gaga stole the show when she hit the red carpet at the Governors Awards on Sunday evening wearing a voluminous Valentino gown. The design, which we first saw at the Spring 2019 runway show, featured an off-the-shoulder neckline with giant puffy sleeves. The exaggerated trapeze shape made sure this dress made a serious statement. If the silhouette seemed familiar, it could be because Tracee Ellis Ross wore a similar style in hot pink to the Emmys.
Gaga teamed the dramatic gown with equally dramatic jewels, namely a pair of Harry Kotlar diamond cluster earrings and her stunning pink sapphire and diamond engagement ring. She made sure to show off both to full effect as she posed during the event. Keep reading to see her look from every angle and to see the gown on the runway.
Selena Gomez's Shoes Have Enough Sex Appeal to Turn Us On - Yep, We Said It
When it comes to shoes, Selena Gomez wears two types: sneakers or ridiculously sexy stilettos and sandals that have the ability to make an outfit look hotter than lingerie. The star, who works with stylist Kate Young, gets her hands on everything from mismatched Jacquemus designs to Coach's Western inspired lace-up booties that'd make any fashion gal weak in the knees.
When she's walking down the street and not headed to a workout, Selena's usually rocking denim with towering sandals or slingbacks, her legs appearing to be miles long thanks to a model-like strut. Ahead, read on to digest Selena's sexiest shoe moments in recent history, and shop her closet while you're at it.

How Meghan Markle Found the $195 Jeans She's Worn 5 Times Since Announcing Her Pregnancy
The most important thing you should know about the jeans Meghan Markle's been wearing religiously - Outland Denim's Harriet High-Rise Skinny ($195) - is that they are made sustainably by women in Cambodian villages who depend on their careers as seamstresses to avoid poverty. Outland's founder James Bartle has made it the label's mission to set new standards for people who work in the garment industry by caring for its staff through wage and training, teaching them superior strategies for sewing premium denim.
We're sure Meghan is well-aware of Outland's story. And when we talked to a representative from the brand, the "Meghan Markle effect" was acknowledged immediately: "We are happy to report that in the two weeks since Meghan first wore the jeans on October 17 in Dubbo, our global sales online (through our suite of sites - .au, .com, .ca, .co.uk) have increased 2374 percent, while our global online traffic has increased over 3000 percent, excluding purchases made at our retailers." Wow.
But how did Meghan get her hands on the jeans in the first place? "A representative of [Outland Denim] was able to present a representative of Meghan's with a modest selection of our jeans, and the process went from there. We are just thankful that she loved the product and the story behind it enough to choose to wear them. We believe that she may have a few [additional] styles in her personal inventory, but it's quite clear the Harriet are her favorite, particularly in these early stages of her pregnancy," we were told by the brand, which is headquartered in Australia.
While Meghan is the first "celebrity of her caliber" to step out publicly in Outland, we doubt she'll be the last. She has now worn the Harriet exactly five times on her royal tour of Australia, styling the slim fit with everything from Stuart Weitzman booties to pumps and coats that make for memorable outfits. But the foundation for these looks starts with Outland. If you want to know more about Meghan's go-to pair and shop them for yourself, scroll to see her wearing them and find out what makes them so unique.

I Dare You Not to Gasp When You See Priyanka Chopra's Sexy Booties
Just in case you needed more evidence that Priyanka Chopra's style has never been better, the Quantico star stepped out in a fiery ensemble that might make your jaw drop - you've been warned. For an afternoon in New York City, the bride-to-be teamed a camel Nili Lotan jumper with a fiery red skirt by Lorod and matching ankle boots by Pierre Hardy, having us wondering why we've never thought about trying this clever color combination.
Finished with a camel Max Mara coat, vintage Louis Vuitton bag, gold hoop earrings, and large sunglasses, Priyanka's outfit was simple yet incredibly chic. But then again, we wouldn't expect anything less from the stylish 36-year-old star.

You Don't Need Binoculars to Zoom In on Meghan Markle's Go-To Heels - They're Obvious
Ever since we laid eyes on the strappy heels Meghan Markle wore to announce her engagement to Prince Harry, it was obvious she has good taste in shoes. We've been keeping tabs on Meghan's footwear ever since, including those now-iconic pairs of bow slingbacks she owns and the custom pumps she styled with her Stella McCartney reception dress for her wedding.
These pumps all have one thing in common: they're by Aquazzura. It's safe to say that Meghan puts her trust in the Italian luxury label most often, but there are three more brands she's worn on repeat since taking on royal duties - at least, when she's looking for a height boost from a sharp stiletto or pin-thin bootie. Ahead, find the four designers Meghan keeps on rotation when it comes to her heels, and scoop up some of your own.

I'm Crowning This the Perfect "Sneaker Dress," and I'm Wearing It Nonstop
When it comes to adding pieces to my closet, there's one variable that's routinely at play . . . a question I regularly ask myself before purchasing: can I wear sneakers with this? And not in a lazy sort of way that might indicate that I've completely given up; it's gotta be something I like. Something I might, say, want to take a picture in.
The search certainly extends to dresses, where the sky is the limit when it comes to hemlines. Maxi, midi, knee-length, and mini all work with sneakers (IMO). So when I spotted this POPSUGAR at Kohl's Flounce-Hem Mini Dress ($24, originally $60) that hit just above the knees but still had a whimsical hem with tons of movement, I knew I'd hit sartorial gold. "Can this be worn with sneakers?" got a big fat check mark.
See how I've been wearing this number ahead.
Zoë Kravitz's Engagement Ring Is So Huge, You Could Likely Spot It From Outer Space
Leave it to Zoë Kravitz to confirm her engagement in the most casual, nonchalant way. During a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the 29-year-old star spilled the beans, admitting that her now-fiancé, Karl Glusman, popped the question this past February. The opposite of casual and nonchalant, however? Her enormous engagement ring, which she's somehow been waltzing around with on her left hand for the past eight or so months without raising any suspicious eyebrows.
Zoë's ring hails from The One I Love NYC, a shop that carries both antique and modern fine jewelry. Mia Moross, the store's owner who worked with Zoë and Karl on the ring, described it as an "18th century diamond half loop," meaning yes, it's an actual antique that was made in the 18th century. She added, "It hosts a row of beautiful collet-set rose-cut diamonds in a closed back setting of silver topped gold, which was common during the time period and allows for the stones to emit a rich smoky hue. The piece was completely hand fabricated, and the craftsmanship is impeccable." We couldn't agree more about that impeccable craftsmanship, especially because the diamonds were meticulously cut by hand so long ago, and yet it's still in pristine condition.
Zoë notably wore her gorgeous engagement ring to the Met Gala this year, along with a supersexy Saint Laurent gown, and she's been pictured with the ring at a few other public events since getting engaged to her soon-to-be hubby. Considering the fact that her sparkler deserves its own zip code, we're pretty surprised it flew under the radar for so long. Keep reading to zoom ALL the way in on the blinding details of her bling.
One Look at the Triple Conch Earring Trend and You'll Run to the Piercing Studio
There is always something so pretty about that perfect collection of piercings, and a dainty pair (or multiple pairs) of earrings can truly make an outfit. Although we're still obsessing over heartilage and constellation piercings, we're equally in love with a new earring trend: the triple conch.
The triple conch piercing is a small line of studs on the inner ear that makes a surprisingly pretty and delicate statement. This piercing will take your love of tiny earrings to a whole new level. The best part about this trend is that you can play around with studs, colors, and designs. Some people have opted for three tiny studs in a line, and others have created little accented designs.
Ahead, take a look at some of our favorite triple conch piercings to inspire your next set of jewels.

J Lo recently shared some snaps of herself and ARod traveling for business, and while she was decked out in a tweed pencil skirt, Chanel belt, Hermès bag, and PVC pumps, and he in a suit and tie, it was their aviator sunglasses that set them in sync.

Kendall Jenner's Heels Will Have You Wondering If She's Playing a Magic Trick
When Kendall Jenner attended the Chaos SixtyNine Issue 2 launch party in London, the cold weather didn't stop her from showing off her enviably long legs. For the occasion, the 23-year-old model wore a high-neck, canary-yellow minidress, but it's her barely there heels that made us look twice.

From Beach Dresses to Ball Gowns, Meghan Markle's Maternity Style Is Totally on Point

The thing in question? Why, all the maternity ensembles the duchess would be wearing, of course.

I Won't Buy Presents For My Husband's Family, Because That's His Responsibility, Not Mine
Few things make me happier than Christmas shopping. In fact, I shop for the holidays all year round. Call me crazy, but I swear that I get better deals, I'm not battling crowds, and when November arrives, I am practically finished and can just sit back and enjoy the season. I buy for everyone: my husband, kids, parents, siblings, friends' kids, and dog, and I even stockpile for charity. But when it comes to my husband's family, he's on his own.
For years, we would alternate where we spent the holidays: one year with my family, the next with his. But no matter where we spent them, I would handle all of the shopping for both of our families. I took the time to find what I thought were the perfect presents and sent them to those we would be seeing for the holiday and those we wouldn't. I did this, happily, year after year. Then we had children of our own and quickly learned that his family takes an out of sight, out of mind approach to the holidays.
If someone had taken five minutes to make a phone call and wish our children a Merry Christmas, I would have sent a gift. Plus, if my husband wants to buy something for someone in his family, he can do it himself.
We spent our daughter's first Christmas with my husband's family. We were met with surprise by a few family members who didn't realize we were coming and had "forgotten" our daughter's gift at home. They apologized and promised to mail whatever it was they had supposedly forgotten (they didn't). At the time, we were so elated to be celebrating our daughter's first Christmas that it didn't matter who gave her a present. Besides, Santa had been more than generous to our then-8-month-old, and the last thing we needed was more stuff. We didn't sweat it. The following year, we spent Christmas with my family and, as usual, sent gifts to his side. Not a single person acknowledged receiving a gift from us, nor did anyone send anything to our daughter. And that's the year I decided I would no longer shop for or send gifts to my husband's family.
That was also the year we stopped traveling for the holidays because we both agreed it would mean more to have our children wake up on Christmas morning in their own home. After that, I remained steadfast in my decision to not shop for my husband's family. He was on the fence about it, but we ultimately agreed to wait and see if anyone acknowledged our children. If someone sent them a card or a gift, then we would send one in return. Hell, if someone had taken five minutes to make a phone call and wish our children a Merry Christmas, I would have sent a gift. Plus, if my husband wants to buy something for someone in his family, he can do it himself.
After a few weeks of waiting, guilt got the better of him and he went out at the last minute, purchased a stack of gift cards, and gave them to his mother to dole out on Christmas. Once again, no one sent so much as a text to say thank you. And no one acknowledged our children (our daughter had become a big sister since the last time we spent Christmas with my husband's family). Most of them have not even met our other children. I'm not sure what he'll do this year, but I do know I'll have no part in whatever it is.
Christmas isn't about presents. I just happen to love shopping, and I enjoy giving gifts. I don't expect anything in return, and I'm working hard to impart that same attitude to my children. They don't need more gifts, and not receiving anything from relatives they hardly know certainly isn't ruining anyone's holiday. It's knowing my husband and our children aren't even an afterthought for his family that breaks my heart. And it's watching them profess the importance of family all over social media that actually makes my blood boil. But maybe it's all for the best. The past few years have taught my husband some harsh lessons about his family, but they've also taught him that the people who put you first are the ones who matter the most.

Goop's Annual Gift Guide Includes a Custom Lullaby Recording For - Wait, How Much?
Goop's annual gift guide is always fun to explore, and yes, even the brand itself admits some of the products are "ridiculous but awesome." One such gift that could qualify is this Custom Lullaby Recording for babies. It's quite adorable: a British singer-songwriter named Lotte Mullan will write a lullaby based on information and treasured moments you share about your baby, plus what kind of mood you're going for - a relaxing ballad or something more upbeat. The catch is, it'll set you back $600.
Keep in mind you'll receive the lullaby in the form of a download that can be played forever, and the printout of the lyrics with your customized title - "Erin's Lullaby" - is pretty cute. This could be a great way to go in on a group gift for any friends who've recently had a baby, too! The acoustic song is professionally recorded and mixed in Lotte's London studio, and you can also contact the songwriter for any preferences. See more photos of the lullaby gift ahead to get a better visual, and then peruse lots more affordable gift options for kids.
These Doggies Sitting on Santa's Lap Are Definitely on the Nice List!
Our dogs do a million and one things throughout the year that make us crazy - they're born troublemakers - but every dog owner knows that there's no such thing as a pupper on the Naughty List, no matter how bad they may have been. It doesn't matter if they chewed up your slippers, TPd your bathroom, peed on every carpet in the house, or jumped onto the dinner table and ate an entire plate of chicken cutlets (that one might be from personal experience); your dog is your precious, sweet, adorable little baby who can do no wrong even when they do wrong.
And based on the following ridiculously cute photos of pooches, it looks like Santa, the keeper of the Nice and Naughty Lists, would have to agree. We can't decide who's cuter in these pictures - Santa or the pups (OK, obviously the doggos).

This Hilarious Mom Gets Stuck in a Pair of Jeggings and Decides She'll Have to Just "Live and Die in Them"
The foul-mouthed mom behind Knee Deep in Life who got stuck in a pair of Spanx earlier this year is back with some very relatable retail woes. After going into a store and trying on a pair of jeggings that fit her, she returned the following day to purchase a different pair in the same size. Common sense told her that the jeans should fit - they were the same size - but oh was she wrong.
In a new video she shared, she described the process of trying to get the pants on as "two pigs fighting to get in a plastic bag," and just as you've finished crying over her antics, she miraculously gets the pants on! Will she ever get them off? According to her, she'll be living and dying in them.
The struggle is real, and we applaud her!
I Leave Our Christmas Decorations Up Until February on Purpose
I may not be the first to the holiday decorating party, but you better believe I'll be the last to leave it. While I'm not the mom that busts out every festive piece of garland and string of lights the day after Halloween - or even Thanksgiving for that matter - I am the one who leaves the decorations up the longest. And this year will be no different. Aside from the obvious fact that I'm lazy, I like letting our mistletoe hang longer than most people because, well, it keeps me in holiday spirit and helps me fight the Winter blues. So, I plan on leaving all of the decorations, even the (fake) tree, up until February.
Once I get my Santa Claus figurines out and the Christmas tree decorated, I'm filled with holiday cheer. I blast the Christmas music in both the house and car, make hot chocolate regularly, and even throw away most of my screen time rules in favor of classic Christmas movie marathons. I even let Elf on the Shelf take over our home. But once the big day and the big guy comes and goes, we're often left feeling deflated. We're tired from everything that the holiday season took out of us and we're a little depressed that it's all over.
Plus, we live in a state where Winter seems to last forever once Christmas is over, and it's relentless. The post-holiday blues get even worse when we have a solid three more months of freezing temperatures and being stuck inside. So, if leaving our holiday decorations up longer will help keep our spirits up, then I'm more than fine with that. Plus, it's always a fun conversation starter for anyone who comes over. "Umm, isn't it Valentine's Day?" they joke. "Yes," I'll respond, "but we still need holiday cheer inside when the outside is so miserable!"
There will be days when I look outside and see two feet of freshly fallen snow. We won't be able to leave the house because the roads simply aren't safe enough to drive on. But I'll be able to stare at the twinkle of the bulbs on the still-standing Christmas tree. I'll be able to see the remnants of the holiday scattered throughout our home, and it will keep me in a cozy mood for a little while longer. Well, at least until the snow starts to melt.
