Singers from Beyoncé to Lizzo have mastered it—the “mean mug.” You bring the edges of your top and bottom teeth together and lift your lips away from your gums.

As people who are lucky enough to be able to work from home slide into their 12th week of doing so, certain fashion standbys are starting to feel as remote as a matinee with a large popcorn or a night out at a crowded bar. I’m talking about jeans and all other “hard pants,” anything

On Friday night, May 22, the internet belonged to a black woman.

Victor VIRGILEGetty Images Maybe our current all-sweatpants-all-the-time lifestyle has you dreaming of couture: the creampuff ballgowns, the intricate embroideries, the elaborate confetti-strewn finale.

Victor VIRGILEGetty Images There’s been a lot of talk about how to fix fashion and make the industry more sustainable, but much like the weather, it’s too often a topic that generates much discussion and comparatively little action.
