It’s red carpet season again, friends, and today we are blessed with the distinction of the Emmys, honoring television that’s way better than movies and actors with fashion choices as eclectic as their acting ones. The theme tonight so far seems to be veering between super-sparkly and sweet and demure—except the queen …
Every year, in the swamp-assiest armpit of summer, the MTV Video Music Awards rollerblade into our lives, a string of musicians, reality stars, and “influencers” in tow. This summer being the most swamp-assiest in recent memory, it makes sense that 2018's VMAs lineup is more of a confused fever-dream than usual: Cardi…
The MTV Movie & TV Awards, for a famous person nominated or someone just looking for something to do on a Saturday in June, appears to be a very difficult event to get dressed for!
I’m going to be honest: I had to turn off the Billboard Music Awards a few moments in, unofficially because Westworld was starting, officially because I could not deal with Kelly Clarkson as host. That doesn’t mean I didn’t flip to the ultimate queen and my birthday twin Janet Jackson when she performed; it does mean…
The rigid minds in the industry love to call the Met Gala “fashion prom,” but this year, it’s something else: the afterworld. A world of neverending happiness; you can always see the sun, day or night. There’s a lot of wiggle room in its 2018 theme, “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination,” and with…
As the stars descend on the red carpet and some even have pointedly delayed conversations with alleged abuser Ryan Seacrest, The Rally Against Rape Culture/#OscarsSoComplicit protest is going down on Hollywood and LaBrea. If we have learned one thing this awards season, it’s that it’s difficult to turn an…
On January 29, 2018, a magnificent, historic coalition of Hollywood’s finest black talent convened to premiere what’s expected to be one of the greatest films of our generation, Marvel’s Black Panther. Early reviews are beyond promising. Damn near everybody (well, all the black attendees) at the Hollywood premiere…
If Getty Images is to be believed, this year’s Grammys afterparties had all the pizzazz of a slowly deflating balloon, with low-ish turnout and a level of glamour appropriate to parties co-hosted by, for example, American Airlines. That being said, you know, some people came out and looked good and we might as well do…
The Grammys typically showcase some of the more compelling ensembles during red carpet awards season thanks to an increased freedom of expression within the music industry compared to the film one. (That, and far fewer opportunities for corporate sponsorships from big-name designers).
The 49th NAACP Image Awards were pre-taped on Monday night, with a red carpet full of extravagant, glamorous fabrics for the eye to see. See all the LUKS looks below.
Celebrities have been planning for weeks to wear black on tonight’s Golden Globes red carpet, an expression of solidarity with Me Too and a plea for Hollywood’s climate of sexual harassment to never return to the status quo. But how will that actually play out in practice? Can a night that normally represents glamour,…
It’s awards season, yet again, and yet again we are here to prematurely evaluate everyone’s looks on the Emmys red carpet, aka the pre-Oscars. What are the fancy things everyone will be wearing? We shall update you, as ever, in our regular, hot-shit, constantly updating awards show fashion blog. Please, come on in...
The MTV Video Music Awards happened on Sunday night (they did) and no one made any bold fashion statements on the red carpet, but there were some pretty gowns, fresh suit twists and a lot of gladiator getups.
Sunday night’s BET Awards turned out to be largely uneventful, aside from three things: the Xscape reunion set, the New Edition tribute and the uncomfortable red-carpet confrontation between rappers the Migos and Joe Budden.
It’s the moment you’ve been waiting a whole year for, the Battle Royale-slash-Hunger Games of red carpets: the 89th Academy Awards. Who will live? Who will die? Who will revolt against the whole system in an attempt to save humanity from a genocidal caste system? Who will be this girl? Everyone and no one! Let the…
The goddesses of black entertainment came out and glowed at Essence’s Black Women in Hollywood Awards on Thursday night in Los Angeles. See all the red carpet looks from Tracee Ellis Ross, Viola Davis and more women who continually make us wonder how they do it.
The Grammys begin at something like noon in Los Angeles—by 2 p.m. Pacific, the red carpet was already in full swing—which is a side effect of how many awards they give away before the broadcast. It’s unfortunate, really, particularly considering people probably had to start getting “glam” at like 10 a.m., which seems…
Awards Season is in full force and, hopefully, we’re about to start seeing celebrities use their spotlights to speak out against injustice, particularly as they’re walking tonight’s red carpet while protests of Trump’s Muslim ban are taking place across the country. Would love to see some people carrying protest signs…
Are you so pumped for the official arrival of 2017 awards season, in which fancy people don fancy things and try not to smudge shit in front of 30,000 cameras? Us, too! The Golden Globes is, of course, always the best because there is drinking allowed, so who better to host than your mans Jimmy Fallon? Let’s see what…
The CMAs celebrated 50 years Wednesday night, which meant a night of real treats for longtime country music lovers: it opened with a procession of royalty performing a medley of hits through the years, including Reba McEntyre, Charley Pride, Charlie Daniels (terrible man, good music), Ricky Skaggs, and Randy Travis,…
