Pretty in plush! Hollywood beauties are wearing black velvet dresses on the red carpet for a vibe that’s equal parts regal, romantic and cozy. The elegant fabric — that looks as good as feels — makes a glam statement. Some stars went short, like Bebe Rexha in an embroidered Yanina Couture mini; and Dua Lipa who picked a puffy-sleeved Attico style, which is on sale for $646 and you can buy here.
Just three years in, Brandon Maxwell’s sleek and chic label is already a hit with Hollywood tastemakers. He first gained popularity as Lady Gaga’s stylist, creating a polished and sophisticated image for the pop star — a far cry from her previous out-of-the-box sartorial choices (hello, notorious meat dress)! “I met Gaga as an assistant stylist through the incredible Nicola Formichetti, and our relationship quickly progressed into something much more than just work,” Maxwell told Us back in 2015.
Kris Brock and Laura Vassar — a couple in both romance and profession — are the brains behind Brock Collection, the latest brand to take Hollywood by storm. The husband-wife duo have said they aimed to “create luxury pieces you can live in,” and celebs can’t get enough! The line consists of effortlessly romantic dresses and separates that are equal parts polished and laid-back California-cool. The versatile styles work just as well on or off the red carpet, like Sarah Paulson’s off-the-shoulder cotton frock or Zoe Saldana’s floral-print silk jacquard midi.
It’s getting hot in here! Celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and Hailey Baldwin aren’t afraid to let their underwear show. That is, if it’s a super sexy g-string! Stars seem to be embracing a peek-a-boo thong trend, making it a chic staple of the mainstream. And we don’t hate it! Made famous in the ’90s thanks to the popularity of low-rise jeans, this look has slowly been working its way back into our pop culture for almost a year now.
May the force be with you! Brie Larson, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and more celebrities aren’t afraid to nerd out when it comes to loving Star Wars. Though Larson’s loyalty lies with the Marvel franchise, George Lucas‘ space operas have always held a special place in her heart. When preparing to film the heart-wrenching movie Room, which earned her an Academy Award, the California native knew just how to earn her costarJacob Tremblay‘s trust.
