What’s Rihanna cooking up?

It appears Rihanna is gearing up to once again to shake up the beauty industry. According to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the mogul and style icon filed a trademark for “Fenty Hair” under her company Roraj Trade LLC. The new hair accessories line could potentially include products such as barrettes, clips, wigs, scrunchies, curlers, hair brushes, combs, and hair extensions, among many others. “Fenty Hair” seems like a natural next step for the entrepreneur, whose business empire already includes Fenty Beauty, Fenty Skin, and the lingerie line Savage x Fenty. Just say the word Rih, and you can take all our money.

Natalie Portman, Yara Shahidi front Dior Beauty’s Rouge Dior Forever campaign

To accompany the launch of its new Rouge Dior Forever lipsticks, a solid bullet version of its much beloved Rouge Dior liquid lipsticks, Dior Beauty released a mesmerizing new campaign starring brand ambassadors Natalie Portman and Yara Shahidi. According to the LVMH-owned brand, the opaque and long-wearing Rouge Dior is the best selling lipstick worldwide—as if Portman and Shahidi hadn’t convinced us enough already. The campaign for the Rouge Dior Forever range features a clip directed by Arnaud Uyttenhove and a still campaign shot by Viviane Sassen. In the imagery, Portman and Shahidi can be seen moving around an open, arid, hilly landscape wearing flowing silk gowns that correspond to their chosen lipstick shade. The new Rouge Dior Forever line, conceptualized by Dior Beauty’s creative and image director Peter Philips, touts a 16-hour no-transfer wear time and comes in 22 shades, which will be launched on September 1.

Ye takes over the Times Square Gap for the Yeezy x Gap collab

Who would’ve thought that we would ever have a reason to go to Times Square? And, who would’ve thought that Ye would give us that reason? Well, this week, the Gap store in Times Square became the first brick and mortar location to carry the Yeezy x Gap collection. As one might imagine, the Donda rapper didn’t just allow his collab to be showcased in folded piles and color-coded racks. Instead, he redesigned the entire store to fit his own particular vision. This included doing away with the customary displays and checkout registers and replacing them with dark gray furnishings, images of doves projected onto the walls, and touch-screens that allow customers to scroll through the collection. Guess we gotta go brace the tourists and selfie sticks to see it for ourselves…

Thom Browne Resort ‘23 is giving the spring suiting of dreams

After a provocative men’s Spring ‘23 show, which featured extremely low-rise skirt suits, printed jock straps, and tweed bikinis, Thom Browne presented its women’s Resort ‘23 collection in Paris. Friends of the brand, which included Amy Fine Collins, Dree Hemingway, and Debra Shaw, were photographed strutting past the Paris Automobile Club for the collection’s lookbook. As ever, whimsical tailoring was the primary focus, with Browne presenting a series of expertly-constructed, reimagined suits.
