For model Lulu Tenney, Paris and Dior are forever linked. That’s because Tenney’s first show in the city of lights was for Dior, after exclusively working with a Raf Simons-led Calvin Klein for a considerable period. Tenney, who let Vogue capture her prep process for the house’s fall 2022 couture collection in a new video, still beams when she reflects on her debut. “I was so excited about it because it’s, you know, Dior,” she says. “It’s, like, a pretty huge deal.”
Tennney’s pre-show routine kicks off in true Parisian style: with a shot of espresso. “The airline lost all my luggage,” Tenney shares in-between sips, serving casual glamor with her hair wrapped in a plush bath towel. “But then I was like, ‘Stuff? Who needs it? I’ll be a minimalist!’” Tenney then moves on to getting dressed and completing her skincare routine, showing off the personal photos and mementos she travels with during the process. Once ready, Tenney takes some time to bask in the morning soleil. “I love Paris because obviously the buildings are so old, and so classic and beautiful, but there is this young, fresh, exciting energy that I’m kind of discovering,” Tenney says.
Off to the show site: a tent pitched in Musée Rodin’s sculpture garden. Once there, Tenney gets her hair, makeup and nails done. The look for the day: “Natural glow, natural beauty,” a member of the show’s beauty team shares, pointing out Tenney doesn’t need much help. Afterwards, Tenney takes some time to practice her walk for the show. (Some tips from Tenney: Keep a level eyeline. Shoulders back. Calm demeanor.) “I know Maria Grazia likes a very powerful, strong walk, so maybe I do something like this,” Tenney says before testing out a strut. She runs through the key marks she has to hit, which includes a Vogue Runway camera. “This is the photo that everyone sees.”
Now it’s forty-five minutes before showtime and Tenney is ready to go. The Dior-favorite dons one of the collection’s standout pieces: An off-white dress that showcases the meticulously intricate embroidery of the Dior atelier. Once the show is over, Tenney is immediately off to the next show. Her chosen mode of transportation? The back of a moped. Au revoir!

This week, the best dressed stars embraced theatricality on the red carpets. Big, bold silhouettes prevailed at movie premieres and Hollywood parties—whether it was dresses with voluminous ruffles, slouchy denim boots, or even sequined hoods. The memo among A-listers was to expect the unexpected when it came to their fashion choices.
Some of the standouts this week? Certain celebrities opted for vintage ensembles with strong shapes. Take Sydney Sweeney at the HCA TV Awards this weekend, when she revived a Mugler dress from 1981 that had exaggerated peplums. Or Kylie Jenner, who celebrated her 25th birthday this weekend in a vintage Paco Rabanne look. The silvery getup complete with a disco ball-like hood, which was ready to party the night away in.
Impactful colors also had a moment. On the Jimmy Fallon show, Never Have I Ever star Maitreyi Ramakrishnan opted for a Zimmermann floral dress with tons of ruffles, While out in New York, Lili Reinhart also slipped into Tory Burch’s sporty dress with a dash of yellow color-blocking. Speaking of New York, however, there was one city street style moment that truly stole the show: When Rihanna emerged in Y/Project’s extra-slouchy denim boots, fresh off the runway. A head-turning accessory only the Bad Gal herself could truly pull off.
Which were your favorite celebrity looks this week? Be sure to vote below, and check back on Friday to see which ensemble is the ultimate best dressed of the week.
If you’ve been following the Kardashian-Jenners since their early days on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, you’ll know that the stylish siblings have always loved a body-con dress: Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe in particular. The show skyrocketed to fame in the early 2010s, after all—there was no better time for skintight Hervé Léger bandage dresses. Over the years, the five siblings’ personal styles may have evolved, but their penchant for form-fitting frocks has never quite quit (Kim, for instance, has been favoring Balenciaga’s spandex catsuits lately). This weekend on Instagram, Kylie posted a new photo with Kendall and Kim, and their trio of summery outfits showcased a more modern update on their signature body-con dressing.
Posing aboard a yacht for Kylie’s 25th birthday celebrations, the three sisters did figure-hugging dresses in a fresh, new way. Kylie wore a sequined and sheer off-the-shoulder dress, complete with an asymmetrical high slit. It’s a more minimal (and elegant) take on the vacuum-sealed style. Kim opted for a shredded red Rick Owens gown that had one long sleeve, her design favoring the more futuristic vibe she’s been channeling as of late. Kendall, meanwhile, slipped into a two-piece, choosing a glitzy bra top and skirt that’s perfect for a night out.
Fashion in general has been moving back towards body-con silhouettes—see the clingy pieces at Mugler, Jacquemus, and Eckhaus Latta—so the Kardashian-Jenners are clearly onto something with keeping their signature sexy look alive. It would be a sight to see the Kardashian-Jenners slip back into their 2010s club wear—but their 2022 takes on the vibe is pretty close. They’re a little more (okay a lot more) current.
Homemade hack! Cardi B is proud of her long locks thanks to an unusual shampooing process.
“My last 2 washes I been boiling onions and using the water to wash my hair.” the “Bodak Yellow” songstress, 29, wrote via Instagram on Friday, August 12, alongside a photo of her long, natural hair. “I used to do this 6 years ago when I started my healthy hair growth journey.”

She added: “I stopped cause I got really lazy. It’s odorless and I notice that it’s been giving a shine to my hair.”
The New York native’s social media followers were quickly amazed that the water from the vegetables could help her hair grow without a strong aroma. “Dominican remediesssss 😂,” one Instagram user replied.
The rap star is not the only one to wash her hair with onions. In fact, Illuminate Labs’ Dr. Andrea Paul told MarthaStewart.com in March that applying onion juice on the scalp is good to treat hair loss due to the amino acids, which help restore hair follicles. She added: “For convenience, it probably makes sense to apply the treatment prior to showers, as it will be quite pungent.”
While Cardi — who shares daughter Kulture, 4, and son Wave, 11 months, with husband Offset — did not further detail her haircare routine, she’s previously been candid about her go-to beauty products.
“Would you shower at my place?” she previously captioned an August 2021 photo of her bathroom via Twitter, showing off tubs of Vaseline, Dove body wash, Degree deodorant, Dr. Teals scrubs and Lubriderm lotion.
The Hustlers actress continued at the time: “I loooveeeee to exfoliate down south with [the St. Ives Apricot scrub] after I shave. I can’t laser or wax til I give birth [with baby No. 2] so I like to exfoliate right after I shave. Body scrubs is good for the leg & body but I feel is too oily for the bikini line.”
Cardi has also frequently made headlines through the years over her changing hairstyles and wigs, but her natural look has remained one of her favorites.
“OK guys, so this is really how my hair is,” Cardi said in a June 2020 Instagram Story video. “My hair gets like this when you blow dry it and then two days later it looks puff puff like this. Even when you braid it.”

The “WAP” performer told her social media fans that she calls her hair “straight” which is different from Kulture and her “little coils” of curls.
“All the good things that you put in your body, you gotta put in your hair,” she added in the clip, noting that she swears by a DIY hair mask using avocado, raw eggs, mayonnaise and more. “You’re not gonna put soda in your hair because soda ain’t good for your body.”
She continued: “This treatment is really good for curl patterns. I don’t really have a curl pattern but my baby does.”
