How to Recreate 2 Iconic Lady Gaga Beauty Looks - Straight From Her Makeup Artist
Lady Gaga thinks you should know: you don't have to recreate her beauty looks. The intention behind Haus Laboratories, in fact, is for you to "use these products as tools for self-expression," said Sarah Tanno, the star's longtime makeup artist. "There are no rules - just enjoy the process."
Still, any Lady Gaga fan worth their weight in Monster merch knows the woman is a beacon of makeup inspiration - the kind that could shape an entire persona - and who are we to deprive you of your creative outlet? I know I'd personally give my left leg for her Met Gala lashes (and frankly, I know I'm not alone), which is why we're serving up the next best thing: a step-by-step tutorial to two (of 1.2 million) iconic looks.
"She always used to say that for her, it was watching her mother put on her lipstick and be brave for the day that made her love makeup," said Tanno. "I see that come full circle in Gaga's life, where maybe she's not feeling her best but we put on her face and she goes out there and she does it - no matter what it is. It's like her armor."
"The tips and tricks are built into this makeup; it's not the product that makes it crazy, it's about what you do with the product and how the product works."
To recreate these two in particular, we used a handful of the new Haus products (which are now available on Amazon) and a mix of other brands, too. "[The response] has been all over the place," she said. "Some people expected it to be super crazy, but the truth of it honestly is we have very sophisticated taste in makeup. The tips and tricks are built into this makeup; it's not what the product is that makes it crazy, it's about what you do with the product and how the product works."
Coming right up: proof of Tanno's makeup magic that'll leave you all Gaga, ooh la la.

These Cats Cosplayed as Jon Snow, Spider-Man, and Bob Ross - and They're Such Good Models!
If you needed a reason to smile today, then this Instagram dedicated to cats dressed as different TV, movie, and video game characters is definitely it. Cat Cosplay features three trained cats - Fawkes (a black and white tuxedo cat), Pike (a calico tabby), and the late Nak (a tortoiseshell dark calico) - who let their owner Freyu dress them in all sorts of elaborate costumes, including Bob Ross, Deadpool, Detective Pikachu, Jon Snow, and Spider-Man, just to name a few. So cute!
Freyu and his wife, who are based in the Seattle area, have spent over four years running their Cat Cosplay account. "We've been working at Renaissance Faires since 2010 with our cat, Nak," Freyu told POPSUGAR via email. "She would ride on my shoulder in costume and we would busk for shows and take pictures with patrons. Then we started doing sports-related events and photos which were so well received locally that we decided to do a Halloween costume one year, and that took off online."
A standard photo shoot only takes about 10 or 15 minutes for the sake of the cats, but designing their costumes can take anywhere from two to 50 hours of work. Still, Freyu says it's definitely worth it to see how happy the cat photos make everyone. "We started the Cat Cosplay accounts with the mission to simply bring people a smile every day, and through 4+ years, I think we're still accomplishing that!" Freyu said. "What I didn't expect was it to blow up into a second job . . . It's been a weird, surreal experience." Keep scrolling to see some of Cat Cosplay's cutest costumes, and prepare to smile!

Billie Eilish Opened Up About Why She Wears Baggy Clothes - "Nobody Can Have an Opinion"
Billie Eilish has had to put up with more than a few comments about her baggy clothes over the years, namely from Internet trolls who think she should show off more of body, and she's fed up. "'If only I dressed normal, I'd be so much hotter.' Yeah, yeah, come up with a better comment. I'm tired of that one," Billie said in an Instagram post on Monday. In a Calvin Klein ad released in May, the 17-year-old singer revealed that her baggy clothes and unique style are a deliberate choice to avoid being sexualized. "I never want the world to know everything about me," Billie said.
"Nobody can have an opinion because they haven't seen what's underneath."
If you're a woman in today's world, chances are you know exactly what it's like to have others determine your worth based on your body image, and it sucks. It's a universal experience. As someone who's struggled with my perception of my own body, I know that hearing others' opinions of your body can be a real mind game, even more so if you're frequently in the public eye.
"It makes me mad. I have to wear a big shirt for you not to feel uncomfortable about my boobs," Billie added in a recent interview with Elle. "I'm gonna be a woman. I wanna show my body. What if I wanna make a video where I wanna look desirable?" Billie said, referring to the fact that she'll be 18 soon. "I know people will say, 'I've lost all respect for her.'"
"That's why I wear big, baggy clothes," Billie added. "Nobody can have an opinion because they haven't seen what's underneath. Nobody can be like, 'She's slim-thick,' 'She's not slim-thick,' 'She's got a flat ass,' 'She's got a fat ass.' No one can say any of that because they don't know." Billie's decision to dress in oversize clothing seems like an effective way to avoid the criticism of her body image overshadowing her actual musical talent. In several ways, however, her decision to dress in baggy clothes doesn't feel like much of a decision at all when the alternative is to have her body scrutinized by the public.
While it's heartbreaking to know that such a young artist feels the need to hide her body completely to avoid being judged, Billie's admission in the "I Speak My Truth In #MyCalvins" ad has sparked overwhelming discussion and support among her fans. "When Billie Eilish said, 'I wear baggy clothes so people don't have to know what's underneath, they can't judge,' I felt that," wrote one fan on Twitter. See more reactions to Billie's comment ahead.

I Got Kylie Jenner's Manicure, and It Changed My Opinion on Acrylic Nails
Prom night was not only the most anticlimactic experience of my high school career (my evening was, admittedly, very boring), it was also the last time I had gotten acrylic nails until very recently. I'd asked my manicurist for a full set with french tips . . . and that is all I remember of the beauty treatment.
I was recently inspired to get nail extensions because of the looks I'd been seeing on Instagram - particularly, Kylie Jenner's recent looks by her go-to artist, Chaun Legend. I decided to get my first set of acrylics in almost a decade at the very salon that many of the Kardashian-Jenners have gone to for their manicures: Modern Pamper Salon in Los Angeles.
It came with a few hesitations. They were mostly concerns I had surrounding how much the process would damage my nails and how the actual nails would make parts of my everyday routine harder.
Now that I have the manicure, there are a few things I knew before going through the experience.
- Parts of my routine that I thought would be difficult with tips on (like working out with free weights or, erm, using the restroom) didn't get any harder.
- Typing with acrylic tips, however, took some getting used to.
- Putting in contact lenses was only difficult if I let it be. Once I got over the idea of a pointy nail hovering over my eyeball, I was able to get my lenses in seamlessly.
- Play-fighting with my partner became a dangerous sport (and he has the scratches to prove it).
- The process of getting them was uncomfortable, but completely worth it. The tips elongate my fingers (which are otherwise very short) and the design I'd gotten are just a delight to look at.
Learn more about what it took to get the acrylic tips, ahead.

James Bay's Cover of "False God" Is So Good, Taylor Swift Kinda Freaked Out
Image Source: Getty / Visionhaus
James Bay recently blessed his Instagram followers with a video of him singing his own rendition of Taylor Swift's "False God," and I don't know about you, but I need a full cover of this song and a duet between the two artists pronto. Bay posted the video to his Instagram Story earlier this week, in which he's seen strumming his guitar and adding his own sweet and soulful vocals to the Lover track.
Not long after Bay shared the video, which began making its rounds on social media thanks to a few fan pages that grabbed it before it expired from his Story, Swift even gave the cover her seal of approval. "This is STUNNING. THE TALENT," she said via a now-deleted Instagram Story, according to Billboard.
This, of course, isn't the first time Bay has shown Swift some love. He also recorded a cover of "Delicate" last year for BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge and opened for her during her 1989 World Tour back in 2015. See the short clip of his "False God" cover below.

Jameela Jamil and Jonathan Van Ness Wore the Same Dress, 'Cause Stylish Minds Think Alike
Jameela Jamil and Jonathan Van Ness are two peas in a pod, at least when it comes to this gorgeous pink Rochas gown. The Good Place actress and Queer Eye star each picked the dress for separate industry events in September, and their reactions to the twinning moment could not be sweeter.
"YOU DON'T NEED TO SAY IT! I KNOW @jvn WORE IT BEST BENCHES! 💕" Jameela tweeted on Sept. 16, in reference to Jonathan. He quickly saw her tweet and responded with some fangirling of his own. "Omggg queen great minds tho 😍 and the pocket game was next level," he wrote. Yes x1000 to this interaction between two fashion icons.
Jameela wore the Rochas gown earlier in the month for YSL Beauty's Libre launch, while Jonathan chose it for Netflix's Creative Emmys after party on Sunday night. Both Jameela and Jonathan let the dress act as its own statement piece and opted for minimal accessories. Jonathan simply carried a matching wrist bag, and Jameela kept things classic in black strappy heels. Ahead, see both of their individual looks. They each wear this dress so well!
The Trend I Wore All Fashion Week Will Be Even Bigger for Spring
As someone who appreciates simplicity, I totally understand why the puffy-sleeve trend can feel like . . . a lot. Ample arms, big shoulders, and billowing cuffs aren't exactly subtle. I generally subscribe to a classic and minimal aesthetic, but often find myself drawn to feminine flourishes like pretty prints, cute colors, and yes, you guessed it, fanciful sleeves, too; particularly when I'm craving a more standout look. So, as I prepared a lineup of outfits to wear throughout New York Fashion Week where novelty is rewarded on the street style scene, I decided to rock puffy sleeves in top, dress, and sweater form. And let me tell you, the trend is a lot more wearable trend than you may think.
Since I tend towards simple pieces, the bulk of my wardrobe can teeter into hum-drum territory if I'm not inventive. But with a closet full of classic silhouettes and neutral colors, I struggle to achieve impact sans the whole "try-hard" thing (me sporting an maximalist look would be akin to witnessing a mermaid on land: unnatural and technically not even a thing). It wasn't until I came across a few puffy-sleeve pieces that it dawned on me; a little volume can go a long way. I can still feel like me if I temper a bold sleeve with muted colors, clean lines, and uncomplicated accessories. Even if I dared to wear a puffy sleeve in a brighter hue (which I did!), I've deduced that minimal extras make me feel comfortable and more willing to experiment; what better feeling to enter into fashion month with?
My puffy-sleeve success story doesn't stop here, however. After witnessing the first few shows and presentations of the week, I quickly realized that the puffy-sleeve trend isn't going anywhere for Spring. In fact, it's getting bigger than ever with swingy bishop sleeves, Princess-style shoulders, and '80s-inspired shapes both for day and night popping up all over the runways. Am I just tooting my own horn for being in line with such a prominent trend? Absolutely not. But it makes me feel good knowing I've invested in a trendy silhouette that will be sticking around into Spring and Summer. And in turn, I'm hoping this encourages you to try your hand at the trend, too.
Without further ado, check out five puffy-sleeve outfits I wore to the Spring 2020 shows and presentations throughout New York Fashion Week ahead and shop my looks head to toe. Then, to preview the 2020 version of puffy sleeves, scroll through for all of my favorite moments from the runway.

High School Musical Fans Want Justice For Sharpay Evans, 13 Years Later
It's been over a decade since High School Musical premiered on Disney Channel, and as fans grew up, so did their opinions of Sharpay Evans. The blond theater-lover was long-regarded as an HSM villain, but a recent video and subsequent tweets put her whole character in perspective - even actress Ashley Tisdale responded!
In the HSM trilogy, Sharpay is passionate and driven by dreams while her classmates are more concerned with relationships. She tirelessly pursues parts in the musical, fabulous solos, and college opportunities, while Troy and Gabriella stumble into onstage success.

After the tweets about Sharpay started trending, now-34-year-old Tisdale chimed in with some thoughts of her own. "Finally, y'all are seeing the light," she wrote. Seems like she's glad to finally have some friends in Sharpay's corner! Keep reading to see more hilarious tweets about Sharpay. Maybe viewers will have a little more sympathy for the next generation in the upcoming High School Musical TV show.
