  • Price Difference Between These Near-Identical Bags Is Astounding

    One look at this video, and it's clear that Strathberry of Scotland handbags are very special. The attention to detail and meticulous craftsmanship are captivating. The "Be" Dior bag will cost upwards of $4,000, and Strathberry bags retail for less than $650 -- not exactly a steal, but significantly less expensive than its competitor.

  • If This Isn't The Spitting Image Of Diana Ross ...

    It was only a matter of time before Taraji P. Henson landed a major fashion cover after stealing everyone's heart playing Cookie on Fox's "Empire." That's why we're not surprised to see Allure tap the actress for its July 2015 issue. Not only does Henson look glamorous in her '70s disco-era look, but it's also great to see a woman of color grace a mainstream magazine cover -- since it happens so rarely. In the issue, which hits newsstands on June 30, Henson dished about her own experience doing hair as a side occupation in college.

  • The Career Lesson We Can All Learn From This 'Parenthood' Actress

    You can count Joy Bryant as one of the countless celebrities with a fashion line.

In fact, it all started in Bryant's kitchen, when her stuntman husband David Pope used a sewing machine to recreate a pair of his wife's favorite Thai fisherman pants.

  • An Exclusive First Look At Gucci's Fall 2015 Campaign

    Only six months ago, Alessandro Michele was promoted from head accessories designer at Gucci to his new post as the label's creative director.

"I wanted to bring my creative vision to life through this advertising campaign, the first one featuring my collections," Michele told The Huffington Post.

  • 13 Body Scrubs That Are WAY Better For The Environment

    If you haven't already stopped using beauty products containing microbeads, we suggest you do so immediately. The synthetic granules, which can be found in face and body cleansers, hand washes and most toothpastes, are so small they bypass waste-water filtration systems and end up polluting our natural waterways. The problem has gotten so serious that several states -- including New Jersey, Maine, Illinois, Indiana, Colorado and Maryland -- have passed legislation banning companies from using microbeads.

  • Watch This Fashion Icon Strip Down And Reveal Her Greatest Accomplishment

    The mission of StyleLikeU's captivating video series, "The What's Underneath Project," is to honor how style isn't simply about the clothes you wear. It might first seem strange, then, for the site to profile someone who's made a career of modeling stylish clothes and helping others to do the same. Except, of course, if that someone is Bethann Hardison.

  • Why Tamar Braxton's New Clothing Line Will Be Your Summer Shopping Obsession

    Since Tamar Braxton first stole the spotlight on WE TV's "Braxton Family Values," the 38-year-old singer has snagged a spinoff reality show and became the host of daytime talk show, "The Real." And just when we thought she couldn't fit anymore on her plate, Braxton launched an eponymous clothing collection. The Tamar Collection by Tamar Braxton, which debuted earlier this year, is the star's first foray into fashion. The line's body-con dresses, fitted blazers, jumpsuits, luxe track pants, and sexy stilettos align with Braxton's high-end personal style, but thankfully lack the hefty price tags.

  • Joan Smalls Reveals The Secret To Her Flawless Skin

  • How To Wear A Bodysuit Like A Grown Woman

    Let's take a moment to consider the bodysuit. You know, the snap-crotched clothing item that gained popularity in the '60s, had a high fashion moment in the '80s thanks to Donna Karan and Norma Kamali, and then a decade later became a tween style craze that could be purchased at your local mall.

  • Gina Rodriguez Lands A Big Ad Campaign, And We All Rejoice

    The moment actress Gina Rodriguez won a Golden Globe, we knew it was only a matter of time before the fashion industry would come knocking. “To me, Kipling has always embodied the perfect blend of comfort and femininity," Rodriguez said in a press release.

  • Did Cosmo Deserve To Be Blasted For Being Racially Insensitive?

    Fast forward three months and the story is at the center of a controversy that has labeled the piece for being racially insensitive. Users on Twitter rediscovered the feature and were upset that the publication used white models and celebrities, with the exception of Nicole Richie who is bi-racial, to illustrate the beauty trends that are "in" for 2015. Supermodel Joan Smalls even joined the chorus of offended readers and Cosmo responded with an apology.

  • Black Supermodel Wants To 'Ignore' Fashion's Racism Problem

    Malaika Firth is one of the few black models that have experienced soaring success in fashion -- an industry that is notorious for its lack of diversity. The lack of racial diversity is a prevalent issue in modelling but I try to ignore it. Well, that seems to be the route that Firth is taking, despite the fact her contemporaries -- like Jourdan Dunn, Chanel Iman and Joan Smalls -- are using their supermodel status to speak out against the lack of diversity.

  • These Ladies Are About To Make Your Favorite Jeans Even Better

    Making "mom jeans" cool was once considered an impossible mission, at least until NYDJ launched in 2003. Now, NYDJ has pulled together a group of fashion insiders, who are being referred to as the company's "creative board," to take the brand to a new level of awesomeness. The creative board consists of "Blue Bloods" star and the face of NYDJ, Bridget Moynahan, along with Fiona Stiles, a celebrity makeup artist who has worked with Gabrielle Union, Natalie Portman and Anna Faris.
