Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. I have long maintained that the worst thing you can do to me is send me an email. But lately, I’ve had to revise that stance to “maybe some emails are good.” Between Molly Young’s books newsletter Read Like the Wind,

Taylor Swift took a moment on stage at the Grammys to accept her award for Album of the Year—and for the first time at an awards show, she gave her boyfriend of over four years, Joe Alwyn, a very direct shoutout. She also thanked Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, plus their children Betty, Inez, and
It’s been a few years since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s October 2018 Australia royal tour, but one accessory to emerge from the trip has remained steadfast: the effortlessly chic Veja sneakers the Duchess of Sussex sported on a boat in Sydney. As anyone else who’s ever waited for a restock of Veja’s core styles
K-pop superstars BTS graced the Grammys with one of their best performances of the year so far. J-Hope, Jimin, Jin, Jungkook, Suga, RM, and V did an electrifying and visually breathtaking performance of “Dynamite.” They recreated the Los Angeles set from Seoul! Every second of dancing and singing was can’t-l00k-away. It was truly one of
Craig BarrittGetty Images Brandon Maxwell has quite the resume, from designing for Michelle Obama to Lady Gaga to his designs draping the bodies of Meghan Markle, Regina King, Anne Hathaway, and more. But before he was a purveyor of high-end fashion, he spent much of his childhood shopping for goods in Walmart. Today, Maxwell becomes
Peering through the thick bars cutting a horizontal strata in the window, I watch the streams of fog soften the edges of the housing unit’s silhouettes lined up outside. Towering stadium lights illuminate the prison grounds when it is dark; this morning they beam a soft light through the mist. This is what mass incarceration
There are few bags that stand the test of time better than a Chanel. Specifically, the Chanel 11.12 comes to mind when one even thinks of an iconic style. Colloquially known as the flap bag, the design first came on the scene in the ‘80s, when Karl Lagerfeld reimagined the house’s signature 2.55 (which was
It’s been two years since news of the college admissions scandal broke, sending high-profile celebrities, financiers, and Ivy League athletic coaches to prison. There’ve been podcasts, books, and even a Lifetime scripted telepic based on the twisty tale. Now there’s also a docudrama: Netflix’s Operation Varsity Blues: The College Admissions Scandal delves into the seedy
Rowan Blanchard was woke before we even knew what being awake meant. By the age of 13, the bubbly actress was a keynote speaker at UN Women’s HeForShe conference. In 2014, she openly discussed her struggles with depression, creating a public discourse around destigmatizing mental illness, and in 2017, she spoke at the Women’s March
The internet of Peloton is vast, but easy to miss if you’re not looking for it. God knows I white-knuckled alone through many a sprint before discovering the Facebook group that first sucked me in. Like thousands of other riders, I’d bought my $1900 bike at the height of the pandemic, with hopes of arresting

Country singer Ingrid Andress is attending her first Grammys from home, garnering three nominations for Best New Artist, Best Country Song for Andress’ single “More Hearts Than Mine,” and Best Country Album for her
Megan Thee Stallion graced the 2021 Grammys with an in-person appearance tonight, and she brought her best red carpet (during a pandemic) fashion to the occasion. The Grammys are taking place outdoors in Los Angeles but will also feature some pre-recorded performances. Megan wore an orange dress with a high leg slit and a diamond
Courtesy of Louis Vuitton Scientific research claims that the act of planning a trip, one you don’t even intend on taking, boosts dopamine levels the same way actually traveling can. With flight restrictions in play and the population still largely unvaccinated, the very thought of venturing outside of your country—hell, out of your borough—can induce
More details have come out about why Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez ended their four-year relationship and two-year engagement on multiple outlets, including who ended it. While the decision was ultimately mutual, Lopez was the one with serious doubts, according to Page Six and Entertainment Tonight. A source told Entertainment Tonight, the two “decided their
Ironically enough, in Simone Rocha’s early days showing at London Fashion Week, the most truly subversive thing you could do was go against the punk-influenced grain of the time. Back when the leather-and-chain-clad off-duty model ruled, Rocha presented a counter-narrative larded with lace, bows, pearls, and, yes, even the dreaded pink. A look from the
With each passing year, a dystopian show about the threat to women’s reproductive rights continues to be eerily relevant. That means a fourth season of Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale, originally adapted from Margaret Atwood’s novel of the same name, is on its way. The Emmy-nominated series will arrive after a delay—and with a slightly abbreviated
