Ziwe Got Ready for Her Runway Debut With Some Help From TikTok

Published

on

Ziwe can certainly talk the talk. The mononymous New York comedian carved out a distinctive lane for herself through grilling celebrities on third rail topics such as race, politics, and gender on Instagram Live and, later, a late night talk show on Showtime. Her interview style pulls no punches. “Are there any marginalized communities you want to apologize to?” she once asked Chet Hanks, who has repeatedly faced claims of cultural appropriation. But on Thursday, during couture week in Paris, the comedian thrillingly illustrated that she can walk the walk too. 

The sharp-tongued star made her runway debut during Mugler’s mesmerizingly chaotic couture show in Paris. Helmed by creative director Casey Cadwallader, the show featured multiple celebrity appearances. Musician Arca stomped and stumbled down the catwalk, snatching a purse from rapper JT along the way. Pose star Dominique Jackson tapped into her ballroom roots. For her part, Ziwe strutted with a microphone in hand, addressing Real Housewives star Lisa Rinna, who sat in the front row, with an iconic Bravo-world phrase. “Are you ready to own it?” The entire experience felt much like Ziwe’s own brand: off-the-rails in a delightful way. 

“It was such a wild experience,” Ziwe said on Friday afternoon, on the way back to her apartment in Brooklyn from the airport. She says she’s been a fan of the Cadwallader era of the Mugler brand; she wore out the repeat button on their buzzy spring 2022 fashion film. But walking in a couture show was a pinch-me moment. “I’m really just basking in the glory and the hallucination of [it all,]” she tells Vogue over the phone. And although Ziwe hangs out with Emily Ratajkowski on the regular, she did not turn to the model for catwalk tips. At least, not directly. “Honestly I just watched a lot of TikTok videos,” she says. “I watched EmRata on TikTok.” 

Below, Ziwe shares how she got ready for her runway debut, feeling like she was in an episode of America’s Next Top Model, and the future of her talk show.

Kate Beckinsale Put a ‘Frozen’ Twist on the Sheer-Dress Trend

Published

on

Spring may be springing, but Kate Beckinsale looks positively icy in a sheer dress with a snowflake-like pattern. The star rolled up to the Fashion Trust US Awards at Goya Studios in Los Angeles on March 21 in the trend of the moment: see-through. Her slinky yet sculptural piece carefully covered her NSFW areas with beads and crystals. 

Is anyone else getting major Elsa vibes? Silver metallic platform heels, diamonds on her fingers and earlobes, mature makeup. To be honest, the forest green manicure threw me at first, until I noticed that they pick up on the fabulous emerald and diamond collar around her neck.

Do you have “Let It Go” stuck in your head again? Sorry.

Kate Beckinsale simply loves silver starbursts. Last July she combined silver and gold to match an award she won, proving that metallics really are her look.

And the actor has been embracing the see-through and the structured neckline of late, attending the Vanity Fair Oscars party in this beaded gown and voluminous silver coat. (She learned her lesson from last year, when she had to borrow Jason Momoa’s coat to keep warm and accidentally sparked dating rumors.) And please check out her absolutely slaying in this Elie Saab masterpiece.

The Inaugural Fashion Trust U.S. Awards Ceremony Seen Through the Eyes of Founder Tania Fares

Published

on

Back in 2011, Tania Fares founded her non-profit organization, Fashion Trust, as part of the British Fashion Council, with the aim to support up-and-coming design talents in the U.K. “I had my own label with Lulu Kennedy, called LuLu & Co., so I know how challenging it is to launch a brand,” Fares tells Vogue. “I wanted to give back, having gone through it myself.” She continued this spirit last year, when Fares expanded the organization with Fashion Trust U.S.—an arm of her non-profit specifically aimed at celebrating and supporting emerging American designers. “[It has a focus on] financial and mentoring to young designers, as well as building a community for them,” says Fares.

 Last night, the inaugural Fashion Trust U.S. awards ceremony was held in Los Angeles, and Fares documented the special kick-off event for Vogue. The eventful day began with Fashion Trust U.S. board members and finalists meeting each other. The board—which includes Proenza Schouler designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, actor Kate Hudson, and stylist Gabriella Karefa-Johnson—finalized who would be winning the night’s respective categories. Then, come evening time, it was time for the trophies to be handed out to six rising talents, including designers Aisling Camps and Jacques Agbobly. “It’s so important to help highlight and uplift young designers, because there is so much talent out there,” says Fares.

 For the affair, Fares naturally needed a strong look. She wore a custom latex bodysuit underneath a Proenza Schouler dress, mixed in with pieces from Handsome Stockholm, Tyler Ellis, and vintage Tom Ford. “I usually never wear black, but for some reason felt compelled this evening,” says Fares. “I also fell in love with the whole velvet and vintage combined. I’m a big fan of Proenza Schouler; I loved how simple but how chic the dress was.” 

The founder’s favorite part of the evening wasn’t playing dress up, however. It was “the speeches from the designers and their reactions as they won,” Fares says. “Also, getting to chat with them about their collections and overall, being inspired by them.” She looks forward to keeping that momentum at the many more Fashion Trust U.S. ceremonies to come. “Growing the initiative and being able to support more designers, which is my true passion,” says Fares.

Below, a closer look inside Fashion Trust U.S.’s inaugural awards ceremony.

As the Perm Returns, Nicole Kidman Revives Her Signature Strawberry Curls

Published

on

It was just a couple of weeks ago that Nicola Kidman was giving full PDA on the Oscars red carpet with her husband Keith Urban. Decked out in black sequins, the 55-year-old actor looked sultry and radiant, her hair longer and blonder than we’ve seen it for a while. Styled with a slight wave through the mid-lengths and ends, Nicole’s hair looked effortless—she was every inch the beachy blonde bombshell.

But, if a trio of photographs she posted to Instagram on Tuesday is anything to go by, Kidman has returned to her roots. The star’s signature bouncy red curls are back in the pictures, in which she looks happy and confident in an aqua dress. 

Has Kidman taken note of the uptick in other celebrities embracing curls? The return of the perm is upon us, with everyone from Emily Ratajkowski to Bella Hadid experimenting with tight corkscrew curls (mostly with the help of thin-barrelled curling tongs, as opposed to the chemical ’80s approach) recently. 

Already in possession of naturally tight curls—and as someone who wore them loud and proud in the ’80s, when the perm was all the rage the first time around—Kidman has a head start on the hair trend that’s set to explode over summer.
