After several years of all things ’90s retaking fashion and beauty trends, it seems a natural progression that the 2000s followed suit. But if the ’90s were known for sleek, minimalist looks, the decade after them was known for just the opposite. “Hair in the 2000s was wild because everyone was trying to do something a little different that no one had seen before,” says celebrity hairstylist and Color Wow artistic director Joseph Maine. “There were really no limits and people were experimenting with different textures and accessories. It was a playful time for style.” And playful is right. From dramatic hair colors to iconic (and unique) haircuts, hair in the early aughts was in a beauty league of its own.

Although some of today’s fashion icons like Bella Hadid and Megan Thee Stallion are no doubt inspired by this time in fashion and beauty history, it’s evident Read the rest

If you thought you’ve seen all there is of HBO Max’s buzzy Gen Z show Generation, fortunately, you thought wrong! The show, created by 19-year-old Zelda Barnes and her father, David Barnes, is back for the second part of the first season on June 17 – just in time for Pride Month celebrations. In case you missed it, the dramedy follows high-school students Chester, Riley, Greta, Arianna, Delilah, and siblings Naomi and Nathan as they explore their sexuality and identities against the backdrop of social media, conservative families, and adolescent antics.

For those who’ve seen even one episode of Generation, you know the costumes are key to the show’s world and the way each character expresses themselves. Costume designer Shirley Kurata’s Gen Z wardrobes are incredibly on point and back and better than ever in the second part of the series.

Kurata told POPSUGAR that she’s used a … Read the rest

Whether it’s the world-class pastries, historic architecture or language of love, Paris is a city that exudes romance. It’s also a fashion capital of the world, so it just makes sense that this is the destination married couple Justin and Hailey Bieber chose for their stylish summer getaway. The pair, who have been wed for almost three years, kicked off their trip to France earlier this week. Since their arrival, the Biebers have shown off their street style prowess in a variety of looks. Most recently, the couple made headlines after meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron. (What they discussed has not been revealed, but that’s a power move, right there.) Here’s a breakdown of the many Justin and Hailey Bieber Paris looks the couple has sported so far during their time in the city of lights.

We’re knee-deep into the summer sale season, with a plethora of designer events still ongoing, but I’ve been patiently waiting all year for one shopping event in particular. If you guessed Prime Day, you’re right on the money. It officially kicked off yesterday, (contrary to its name the event is actually two days), chockful of epic deals from kitchen gadgets to furniture, but I have my eyes zoomed in on the glorious assortment of lingerie. As I’ve waxed poetic before, Amazon is a really great place to stock up for the basic staples of any lingerie drawer. You can find pretty lace bralettes as well quality supportive bras in a wide range of sizes typically not found at other department stores. Amazon’s underwear selection was especially useful to me this year when I revamped my collection of briefs and seamless bottoms. The deals are especially sweeter this time around in

“Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.” Coco Chanel’s now-famous piece of style advice has transcended decades of style evolutions, serving many of us well on date nights, for prom, and even at the occasional job interview. Enter: TikTok LGBTQ+ Trailblazer and self-described icon Kenneth Pabon, whose personal style mantra is all about doing the most every single day. Known for his signature dating advice videos and his “How to Be Iconic” series with his mom, Patti, Kenneth is no stranger to bright colors, bold prints, and over-the-top accessories. Exhibit A: the four-inch heels, formal high-low dress, and glass of Merlot he regularly works on the treadmill, aka his at-home catwalk.

“Pick out the craziest piece of clothing that you want to wear, and then match everything else to that.”

“It doesn’t have to be Halloween to wear a nice costume,” Kenneth said … Read the rest

If I was asked to name a retailer with more organizational items in one place than Amazon, I don’t think I’d be able to do it. It’s truly a one-stop-shop for every useful item you could possibly need in life. And that’s probably why I was placing daily Amazon orders after I moved last year. Whether it’s your closet, kitchen, desk, or laundry that needs organizing, there’s something for every need. 

Given that it’s Prime Day and you’re probably shopping on Amazon anyway, what better time to add some of those useful organizational items you know you’ve been needing to your cart? Of the items rounded up below, I can personally attest to some of them, and others have great reviews, so you can shop with confidence. You’ll notice that some of the items I chose aren’t strictly organizational, but they’re very useful and definitely made my life easier, so … Read the rest

The vast world of beauty products can be overwhelming. Whether you seek advice from experts on Instagram, influencers on TikTok, or even our own editors, determining what products are actually worth your time—and investment—can be daunting. 

Fortunately, instead of cobbling together a spreadsheet with finds from the For You page on TikTok or filling up your cart through Instagram’s shopping feature, someone, or rather something, has done the heavy lifting for you. That’s right—Amazon has aggregated the most viral, top-selling products into a single handy Internet Famous landing page that is easy to filter by category and price, which, most importantly, makes it even easier to add things to your cart so you can experience these buzzworthy products for yourself while stocking up on Prime Day tomorrow.

With that in mind, we sifted through the four pages of viral products to unearth 33 of the most affordable (and efficacious) beauty … Read the rest
