InStyle Makes A Scandal-ous Blunder On Kerry Washington’s Cover Photo

Featured Video

InStyle magazine is the latest publication to come under fire. They have broken one of the media’s most important rules for image alteration––don’t get caught. While significant steps are being taken to present people with images of real women on magazines, InStyle took a step back with the obviously altered image of Kerry Washington on their March cover. Excited about her InStyle feature, the Scandal star took to social media to give her fans a sneak peek. However, fans immediately noticed that her skin––although flawless, as usual––appeared significantly lighter than her real skin tone.

Kerry’s fans commented on the actress’ post, as well as posted complaints to InStyle. The magazine denied altering Kerry’s skin color, but considered that the lighting may have contributed to the change. You think so, InStyle? Kerry Washington, on the other hand, gracefully thanked her fans for bringing the issue to light, saying it was an “important [one] to be had”––and she’s right. Airbrushing, photoshopping and manipulating images through other means have always been sensitive issues in the fashion and entertainment industries. Many publications have come under fire for rendering stars unrecognizable in their photos. In fact, this is Kerry Washington’s second controversial cover appearance. In 2013, fans barely recognized the star when she appeared on Lucky Magazine.

With this most recent incident, let’s ask the age old question: Isn’t it about time we see what these celebrities actually look like? Let’s face it, paparazzis have been taking “natural” shots of them for years, so fans do have a rough idea of how they look in real life. Factor in social media, and it’s apparent that image “touch-ups” have become a thing of the past. Why pay for a cover where your favorite celeb is barely recognizable when you can go on Instagram and see the real deal?

Menswear Takes Center Stage at NYFW

Featured Video

Looks like America is finally catching on to the menswear hype. The CFDA has announced that this year’s New York Fashion Week will include a dedicated Menswear Week…well, three days actually. On July 13-16, menswear will be shown exclusively for the first time in NYFW history. The shows will be held at the Skylight Clarkson Square in Manhattan. American Menswear designers will be able to show their Spring 2016 collections without having to fly all the way to London or Paris.

NYFW’s decision to include a Men’s Fashion Week is further evidence of the rising status of menswear in the fashion ladder. Just last week, the creation of the South African Menswear Week was announced. Now, America has followed suit. The success of last year’s London Collections: Men probably showed the world that the demand for menswear is quickly rising, and with it, the demand for wider exposure. New York Fashion Week: Men’s would make sure that the American designers will not miss out on the exposure enjoyed by their peers from Europe.

This new development tells us that more and more men are becoming interested in fashion. The growing market for menswear gives rise to greater opportunities for lesser known designers to break into the business. New York Fashion Week: Men’s will be a big part of that. Who knows, after several years, the reign of European brands such as Armani and Versace may finally come to an end in the menswear field.

Beyonce ‘Crazy in Love’ with Jamie Dornan?

Move over Jay Z, Beyonce’s got a new man in her life and that’s Jamie Dornan. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the drop of the exclusive Fifty Shades of Grey remix of Bey’s hit single ‘Crazy in Love’ since the trailer was first released 6 months ago––and it’s finally here.

The film version of ‘Crazy in Love’ is far from the original pop single that was released back in 2003. The remix is sultry, slowed down, and oh so appropriate for the Anastasia Steele-Christian Grey love affair. The song was remixed by longtime Beyonce collaborator, Boots, and will be featured on the ‘50 Shades of Grey’ soundtrack. The soundtrack will be released on February 10, a few days before the film, and is available for pre-order on iTunes. Listen to the official track below!

Can’t get enough of Beyonce and Fifty Shades of Grey? Queen Bey has another exclusive single on the soundtrack. A reworked version of ‘Haunted’ from her self-titled album has also been released today. The song, remixed by Michael Diamond, is arguably sexier than Christian Grey himself.

Other artists that are featured on the soundtrack include Sia, Frank Sinatra, and The Weeknd. While we remain skeptical about the movie, at least we know the soundtrack is good.

Kendall and Kylie Jenner are the Next Kate Moss, Sisters Confirm Topshop Line

It seems the fashion industry’s day wouldn’t be complete without one of the Kardashian-Jenner clan making its headlines. Today Kylie and Kendall Jenner officially confirmed their exclusive collection for Topshop, following in the footsteps of supermodel Kate Moss. Kate’s title as it girl of the century is dangerously close to being reclaimed by the Jenner sisters however. This announcement comes less than 24 hours after Kylie going blonde and Kendall going topless for Love magazine.

The capsule collection for the European retailer is set to launch in early summer. Topshop states that the clothes were designed by the duo, and the retailer is simply stocking the collection. This is not the Jenner sisters’ first foray into design, however. The two recently collaborated with U.S. retailer PacSun, which sold their line ‘Kendall & Kylie’.

As for what we can expect in the collection? The details are being kept mum, but we’re hoping to see equal parts Kendall––with polished garments and neutral colors––and Kylie’s penchant for 90s grunge––flannels and denim cutoffs.

Whatever the collection beholds, you can guarantee that we’ll be the first in line to get our hands on it.

Does Paris Hilton’s Cleavage Hint a Comeback?

Featured Video

Paris Hilton has been irrelevant for a few years now, aside from her questionable forays into electronic music and her brother Conrad making headlines yesterday for losing it on a plane and being checked into rehab. Perhaps the 33 year old reality star got wind of just how irrelevant she was becoming or heard that she landed on our list of Scariest Grammy Dresses, but Paris has been on a 24-hour selfie spree––and one of the selfies shows some major cleavage.

The heiress snapped a photo of her in a fluffy white robe that left little to the imagination. The occasion for this revealing selfie? Paris is releasing a new nail polish line called ‘Super Gels by Paris Hilton’. In another Instagram post, Paris reveals that she has a new purse collection, fragrance, sunglass line, and makeup selection all in the works.

Does this cleavage snap mean she’s planning a comeback? Or does the selfie only fuel rumors of her breast implants. Paris Hilton returning to the A-List isn’t that far fetched, just look at how far Kim Kardashian has come. Paris is known for her iconic looks, both positive and negative. We wonder what this new chapter of Paris means for her style––stay tuned to Fashion One to find out.

Harry Styles is Driving Models Wild…Here’s Why

Featured Video










Bad news, Harry Styles fans. Hazza dropped down one spot in Glamour Magazine’s yearly sexiest men poll. Say it ain’t so! The One Direction frontman came in this year at number 7. The world, according to Glamour, has decided that “Fifty Shades of Gray” star, Jamie Dornan is 2015’s sexiest man alive. Does this mean Harry is losing some style points? Harry Styles made headlines recently because of a recent addition to his body art collection. Rumor has it that Harry had his and a mystery girl’s initials inked somewhere on his body. People are speculating if the new ink says “NL” for his girlfriend, Victoria’s Secret Angel Nadine Leopold. However, with a bevy of supermodel ex-girlfriends still partying with him on his birthday, we can’t really tell for sure.

So why are all these hot models pining for Harry Styles? Apart from some serious vocal chops, and a smile that can make any heart melt, Harry Styles is pretty fashionable as well. While people most often see Harry in his trademark jeans and white tee, he is also known to don some very chic suits for red carpets or performances. Check out our gallery of Harry Styles’ best styles––pun intended.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard Tie The Knot! Which Wedding Dress Will She Wear?





At 51 years old, what more could Johnny Depp want in life? He has a hugely successful career, a private island in the Bahamas, a beautiful wife…Yes, Captain Jack just got married! Sadly, he didn’t end up with the lovely Miss Swan. Johnny Depp just wed his 28 year-old fiancé, Amber Heard. The couple started dating in 2012, 2 years after meeting on the set of their film, The Rum Diary. Depp shocked everyone when he broke up with his then girlfriend, Vanessa Paradis and started dating his co-star. That’s what love does, I guess. Depp did say that Amber Heard was “perfect for [him.]” The couple got engaged in January, which left fans anticipating a huge celebrity wedding.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard officially tied the knot in Depp’s home in Los Angeles in a civil ceremony. Does that mean we won’t get to see Amber in a wedding dress? Fear not, faithful fans! After all, it is a celebrity wedding. According to People Magazine, a formal ceremony will still be held on Depp’s Bahamas island. The date, however, is still unknown. While we wait, we can speculate as to which dress would look perfect on Mrs. Depp. With Couture Week finished, and Spring 2015 Bridal Collections available in stores, it’s the perfect time for Amber to shop for THE dress. If you want to shop with her vicariously, check out our favorite dresses from Spring 2015 Bridal Collections in the gallery above.

One Direction’s Music Might Be Sh*t, but Charli XCX’s Style Isn’t

Featured Video

Earlier this week, English singer and songwriter Charli XCX dissed the wildly popular teenage boy band, One Direction. Rumor has it that Charli XCX called the One Direction’s music complete “sh*t”. The trash talking didn’t stop there, however, and the songstress also threw shade at the band’s manager, Simon Cowell.

According to Classicalite Charli told Q Magazine, “I think Simon Cowell’s cool, I’d love to be in that position, but from the point of view of making music that’s not sh*t.” Charli went on to slam the pop industry as a whole, saying “I couldn’t make any pop music because I hated pop music. I just didn’t want to think about it I wanted to be free”––funny, considering the singer is listed as being in the genres of dark pop and electropop.

Regardless of Charli’s reputation for being a trash talker (Christina Aguilera, Flo Rida, Eminem…the list goes on) her style is anything but. Charli is taking the fashion world by storm and has appeared on the covers of V Magazine and Nylon, collaborated with Topshop, and is the subject of innumerable Tumblrs and Pintrest boards. Charli’s style is a unique mix of grunge, girl power, and neon, which is especially refreshing in a sea of Kardashian look alikes. Her DGAF attitude may get her in trouble with the media, but we love it when her attitude translates into her outfits.

Ashley Graham’s Itsy Bitsy Strappy Bikini, Sports Illustrated’s First Plus Size Model

Ashley Graham is on fire! Just last week, Bust magazine featured Ashley and ALDA in a fitness spread looking strong and sexy in their workout outfits. Now, Ashley has been named the face of #CurvesInBikinis––an empowering new campaign for the online retailer Swimsuits For All. Swimsuits For All’s mission is to make sure every woman enjoys shopping for swimsuits. They do this by providing customers with swimsuits that fit and flatter their bodies. The brand couldn’t have chosen a better spokesperson for their campaign than Ashley Graham, who is famous for embracing her curves to the fullest.

Ashley Graham is obviously excited about being part of the new campaign––and she should be. Not only is it a major swimwear ad, she will also make fashion history. The ad will run in Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue, making Ashley the first plus size model to appear in the magazine. The ad shows Ashley in a strappy black bikini that perfectly shows off her curves, which is exactly what the brand ordered in its tagline, “You’ve Got It. Flaunt It.”
