TikTok Blasts Vogue Magazine for Allegedly Lightening Teyana Taylor’s Skin— With Receipts

A newly resurfaced video has fans questioning why Taylor looks so different in the iconic magazine's social posts.
  • Of Course, the Emperor Who Has No Clothes Is 'Not a Fan' of the Duchess of Sussex

    In the upside-down we currently live in, a racist, sexist grifter who has already proven woefully incompetent for the presidency (with increasingly tragic results) nevertheless believes he should be exempt from the democratic process and simply appointed king of America. So it only stands to reason that this imposter to the nonexistent throne would foster…

  • Designer Romeo Hunte Alleges Burberry Copied His Latest Collection

    Designer Romeo Hunte Alleges Burberry Copied His Latest Collection

    Fashion Week ended less than a week ago, but at least one spring collection is already sparking drama. Burberry’s Spring-Summer 2021 presentation was a forest fantasy, but designer Romeo Hunte delivered a reality check this week, accusing the luxury label—and by proxy, its creative director, Riccardo Tisci—of copying looks from Hunte’s Spring-Summer 2020 collection. “To…

    'Vote Loud,' Make Change: Gucci Changemakers Partners With Michelle Obama's When We All Vote

    If nothing else, our past two election cycles have made abundantly clear that in order to truly make substantive change in America, perhaps the most crucial demographics we need to engage in our political process is young and marginalized voters—specifically, BIPOC voters ages 18-24. After all, as 24-year-old Zendaya reminded us while making history as…

  • Well, This Is Major: Jonathan Majors Covers October's GQ

    There are many qualities to love in HBO’s Lovecraft Country. There’s the centering—and survival—of Black characters and other nonwhites in the horror/fantasy genre; there’s the magnificent acting; there are the jaw-dropping special effects and period costuming; not to mention the historically relevant Easter eggs peppered throughout. It’s no wonder showrunner and co-creator Misha Green is…

  • Chioma Nnadi Is the New Editor of Vogue.com

    Chioma Nnadi Is the New Editor of Vogue.com

    As racial unrest and black boxes sprang forth in abundance in early June, Condé Nast Artistic Director Anna Wintour made a startling but not surprising admission: “I want to say plainly that I know Vogue has not found enough ways to elevate and give space to Black editors, writers, photographers, designers and other creators,” Wintour…

  • There May Not Have Been a Red Carpet, but the 2020 Emmys Stayed Home in Style

    There May Not Have Been a Red Carpet, but the 2020 Emmys Stayed Home in Style

    Plunging necklines. Shimmering sequins. Tailored tuxes. They may not have made their way onto a red carpet this year, but there were nevertheless plenty of each at the reimagined 72nd Annual Emmy Awards, where Hollywood showed us that one pandemic don’t stop no show. In fact, the modified ceremony was both a happy distraction from…

  • From 'Old Town Road' to Loveland: Lil Nas X Debuts a Designer Collab That Benefits Black Queer Youth

    From 'Old Town Road' to Loveland: Lil Nas X Debuts a Designer Collab That Benefits Black Queer Youth

    The jury may still be out on whether Lil Nas X will score another cultural zeitgeist like “Old Town Road,” but the rapper is certainly not wasting the platform earned by his record–breaking, history-making hit. That said, his latest release isn’t a new single, but a new collection with designer Christian Cowan, who helped Lil…

  • Telfar Is Cozying Up to UGG With a New Collaboration

    When one door closes, another door opens. So too, do the seasons; as summer began, we were lamenting the cancellation of Gap’s canceled collaboration with designer-of-the-moment Telfar Clemens, a 2020 Glow Up 50 honoree and creator of a logo bag so synonymous with the street-style set that it’s been nicknamed the “Bushwick Birkin.” On Monday,…

  • Everyone Calm Down, We're Still Getting a Savage X Fenty Show

    A distanced, predominantly virtual, and therefore abbreviated New York Fashion Week has come to a close, seemingly without one of our favorite presentations of the season: Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty show. Granted, the brand is only just over two years old, but in the two seasons Rih and her cast of scantily clad models have…

  • Set Your Clocks, Because Beyonce's Stylized Adidas Superstar Drops Tomorrow

    When it comes to superstars, it’s difficult to conjure a bigger one than Beyoncé, which makes her latest collaboration with brand partner Adidas especially fitting. Our orange Ivy Park boxes may have gotten lost in transit this January, but Bey’s next drop for the brand is slightly more accessible—if you’re ready. As reported by Teen…
