The Fit, The Fab and The Face: Outfit and Inspo Thread

[danielledanielle]

I realized we don't have an OOTD, outfit of the day thread, which isn't needed but can still be a lot of fun.  It's dress up for me, but make it adult.

This was part spurred by my natural hair journey, Tress Trek - A Transition Journal from Relaxer to Natural and NYFW and Zendaya.  99% Zendaya.

The Fit- this can be your attire, or what has arisen from the Capsule Challenge, your makeup bag.  Hair and fragrance "fits" count, too


The Fab - What you loved enough to be inspired by or loved the most about your look


The Face - the proooodduccctsss, so I can add to my loves list, y'all. Or a pic of your face

Note: posting your actual self is optional.  Feel free to post pics or lists of what you included.  This really is about seeing what others are doing and getting inspired to try or retry things.

Also feel free to cross post to existing threads (and browse)

And I love that you took inspiration from a bird of paradise with that *fantastic* outfit/look, that's amazing! I've always wanted to do some looks inspired by my favorite birds...hmm, something to think about 🤔

Thank you for sharing this amazingness!!! 💜

[danielledanielle]

The Fit: RTR, cinq a Sept.  The top and pant are purchases from there as well.  Flats, jewelry, mine.

The Fab: More Love for Lou from Ocean's 8 .

Enjoying this version of suiting, plus I added a 90s feel with the bunched up curls and hoops.

The Face: I took this from a runway look, smoky burgundy eyes.. Wanna say Milan, Gucci show but if I go to check, I'll get logged out 😑

 

This was achieved largely with Natasha Denona.  NATASHA DENONA Mini Bronze Eyeshadow Palette (midi) and her Eye Sculpt, Texture and Tone Dramatic + VIOLETTE_FR YEUX PAINT Liquid Eyeshadow & Eyeliner Paris La Nuit 

And.... We've entered moody lip szn!  This is Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Stunna Lip Paint Longwear Fluid Lip Color I'm Unlawful with Ami Colé Soft Shape Waterproof Lip Liner Midnight .  I touched it up with Eadem's Pan au Chocolat when it got a little dry 🤌🏽🤌🏽

[danielledanielle]

Leaving this here -  long read, but I think it's inspiring (kindness) and something to think about.  Even with the recent passing of Giorgio Armani, it's a reminder that looking good and feeling good is for everyone.

When Cruelty Is In Style, the Most Promising Fashion Pushes Back

Fresh off her book about Virgil Abloh, Robin Givhan reflects on designers who embrace optimism and community

By Robin GivhanPublished: Sep 10, 2025

For a little sliver of recent history, fashion seemed to be creative and welcoming, as well as increasingly profitable. In short, fashion was everything that most anyone could want it to be. It wasn’t perfect—far from it. But it seemed to be making real strides toward being the best possible version of itself.

The body-positivity movement successfully pushed for a range of physiques to be celebrated on the runway, in advertising, and in magazines. Corporate gatekeepers were making a conscious effort to open the doors to those who had been historically marginalized. Diversity, equity, and inclusion were desirable aspects of the cultural conversation. Gender was a big, beautiful, blurry spectrum. And Virgil Abloh’s rise, from 2013 until his death in 2021 at the age of 41, was proof that if fashion only widened its aperture, a lot of talent on the periphery would come into focus.

Fashion exuded optimism, and optimism looked good.

I’ve spent the last two years devoting much of my time to understanding the fashion world that Virgil Abloh created. Abloh, of course, was the first Black artistic director for Louis Vuitton menswear and the founder of Off-White. He made history and broke barriers, all while helping a great many disenfranchised people who loved fashion, who especially adored its big designer brands, feel as though they were part of an exclusive universe. He somehow managed to make the rarefied feel welcoming.

Abloh’s incredibly short but impactful career was the subject of my research, which resulted in Make It Ours: Crashing the Gates of Culture with Virgil Abloh. The book is a biography but also a cultural history of the changes within the fashion landscape that allowed Abloh—who hadn’t gone to design school, boasted a long list of apprenticeships, or been the scion of a fabulously wealthy family—to succeed.

There were many reasons for Abloh’s success. The first, of course, was that he was talented. The others had to do with the rising importance of menswear, sneakers, social media, and Black men in the fashion ecosystem. But a significant contributing factor to Abloh’s success was his sense of optimism.

“A little bit of how I got to where I’m at, I’m even keel. I’m also an optimist. I do believe the world can be a better place. I formally say yes to that,” Abloh once said.

Abloh understood that optimism was foundational to the clothes he created—some great, a lot just okay, and others that were, well, not good—but, more importantly, it was fundamental to the way in which he engaged with his customers. If he could achieve, they could achieve. He relished his success, but he delighted in the success of others with undeniable gusto. His Instagram page was akin to a group chat about creativity and possibility. Abloh was nice. This was the word, more than any other, that people used to describe him to me. Kindness was his currency, and it was a down payment on his achievement.

“I’m not saying that Abloh was successful because he was nice,” said Fraser Cooke, who worked with Abloh on a sneaker collaboration at Nike. “He seemed to be genuinely open and evenhanded with everyone.”

“I think that made people warm to him and want to work with him,” Cooke told me. “And unfortunately, not so many people are like that. It’s very special.”

Indeed, kindness is rarer than it need be in fashion. But right now, it’s in short supply for the whole country. We are moving deeper into a presidential administration that brags about its meanness. The modern tech industry is less interested in subscribing to a motto that once warned, “Don’t be evil” and now seems perfectly happy to break both things and people. Along with these political and business shifts, the aesthetic mood has taken a turn too. It’s moved toward gender stereotypes with tradwives and the misogynistic villainy of the manosphere. Money has become a measure of human value rather than a form of security and a means to buying cool stuff that brings delight.

Meanness has ceased being an unfortunate by-product of striving for a pot of gold; it’s become the point of the journey itself. Many images exemplify the current political, social, and aesthetic climate, but one of the most searing involves Kristi Noem and a gold watch.

Noem is the secretary of Homeland Security, which is the governmental agency tasked with overseeing the Trump administration’s goal of deporting some 3,000 undocumented immigrants per day. Attempts to reach that number have involved masked federal agents corralling men and women on the street, in parking lots, and during traffic stops. Housing these detainees has proved challenging. Before the administration unveiled Alligator Alcatraz—a somewhat wobbly detention center constructed amid the Florida Everglades, with its hurricanes, mosquitoes, and aforementioned reptiles­—much of the public’s attention was focused on the government’s decision to send its detainees to an enormous warehouse prison in El Salvador known as the Terrorism Confinement Center.

“FASHION is truly fashion when it INSPIRES US to be more AUTHENTICALLY OURSELVES rather than some PRESCRIBED version.”

As Noem toured the Latin American facility and talked to the gathered media about crime, deportation, and immigration, she was wearing a long-sleeved white T-shirt, gray drawstring trousers, a Homeland Security baseball cap … and an 18-karat-gold watch that sells for roughly $50,000.

The watch might have gone unnoticed, but Noem recorded a video in which she stood in front of a cellblock filled with prisoners stacked on top of one another like cords of wood. As she warned migrants who might be considering coming to the United States that the Salvadoran prison could well be their fate, light reflected off of the watch’s gold band. Her brown hair cascaded past her shoulders in Utah curls. And her makeup was camera-ready, if not downright glamorous.

There was something vicious in Noem’s flirtations with old-fashioned Breck-girl glossiness and her display of wealth. Everything about Noem’s appearance delivered the message that not only was she more privileged than the imprisoned men, she was also more human. She was all-American, the way it used to be defined back in the 1950s. The prisoners staring into the camera had had their heads shaved. Many of them were shirtless. Those who were fully clothed wore white prison uniforms whose overarching purpose is to destroy any sense of individuality and autonomy.

Over the years, there’ve been a lot of fashion trends that gave those who embraced them a 🤬 froideur. Fashion has churned through all sorts of buttoned-up, trussed-up styles that were meant to convey wealth and status and s3x appeal but also had the effect of glazing the wearer in ice. I’m thinking back to the Masters of the Universe era, with its social X-rays and its Wall Street titans. The clothes back then, the power ties and Armani suits, as well as the Christian Lacroix poufs, were about extravagance and power, but there was also something louche and, well, good-humored about them. They were a celebration of personal success.

Now the clothes seem to be celebrating others’ failures or their inability to measure up to a backward standard of femininity or masculinity or patriotism. Or whatever.

The tech bros of the past reveled in their ability to move through the halls of power as schlumpily as they liked. Those hoodies and saggy jeans suggested a kind of idealism about power—that it shouldn’t be passed along through bloodlines, that it didn’t have to be bound up in traditions and assumptions, that it could be nimble and aimed at opening the world and connecting people across boundaries. But so many of the tech leaders have now draped themselves in MAGA meanness—a style of dress that is almost cartoonish in its malevolence.

During the height of his slashing of government programs and jobs, Elon Musk stood onstage at a conference for conservative activists in his Dark MAGA baseball cap and held up a chainsaw like a trophy. Mark Zuckerberg, whose Facebook has made distinguishing between fact and disinformation increasingly more difficult, has given himself a makeover. Now, instead of looking like an idealistic adolescent with a crew cut and wearing a hoodie, he’s grown out his hair, he wears a gold medallion engraved with a Jewish prayer he sings to his children at bedtime, and he occasionally wears a gold chain that he said was gifted to him by the rapper T-Pain. The combination gives the effect of cosplaying a cyber tough guy—not a dad prepping for an evening lullaby. And Amazon founder Jeff Bezos long ago transformed from a bookish entrepreneur into a sunglass-wearing, tight-T-shirt-sporting, pumped-up billionaire who has insinuated that all the regulations aimed at protecting the environment, the less fortunate, and democracy as we know it have somehow held back financial growth in this, the richest of all countries.

Meanness is in style. Cruelty has become a kind of aesthetic flourish. So many of the cultural references touch on strict gender iconography. Women: long flowing hair, formfitting dresses in bright colors, heels, jewelry, big furs, tight dresses. Men: power suits, pomaded hair, guns (whether biceps or otherwise), red ties, red ties, red ties.

But fashion is truly fashion when it inspires us to be more authentically ourselves rather than some prescribed version. Fashion is at its best when it pushes back against pessimism and celebrates optimism, when it finds inspiration in outsiders—the eccentrics and goofballs—not the privileged.

The most memorable recent collections have come from designers who aim to delight their audiences with quirkiness and youthful energy. Or those who embrace the seriousness of the times but also express a stubborn belief that the way forward is with determination and kindness.

Jonathan Anderson approached his Dior debut for the Spring 2026 menswear collection with respect for the house’s history but a willingness to be playful with it, to mix Easter-egg colors into Dior gray, to not get bogged down with gender traditions, to leaven fussiness with ease. It was a collection that left you wanting to lean in to see everything in greater detail. Willy Chavarria’s beautiful Spring 2026 collection, also shown in Paris in June, dramatically acknowledged the Trump administration’s attack on immigrants. To the strains of “California Dreamin’,” sung in both English and Spanish, Black and brown models in oversize white T-shirts walked down the runway and knelt in formation like so many deportees had been forced to do after they were shipped off to prison without due process. But the collection, which was titled Huron, after the Mexican-American designer’s hometown in California’s San Joaquin Valley, also included elegant, confident men and women in shades of sunshine yellow, persimmon, and teal. It celebrated the swagger, vibrancy, and optimism inherent in being of recent immigrant stock. Fashion is at its most remarkable when it helps amplify, rather than drown out, that tiny voice in the back of your mind saying that just maybe, a dream can become reality.

Abloh knew that to be true. For a long time, he was an outsider peering into a glamorous, cool, sophisticated world. He loved fashion, not because it made him feel more powerful than others or better than anyone else. He loved it because it made him feel like he was part of a community. A community built on optimism. Something that’s not only good for fashion, it’s also good for the soul.

Thanks for this post @danielledanielle . 🙏 His was truly a real loss. This, her commentary and the creative ideas from you guys ⬇️ gives me nostalgia and such good memories from decades past in the world of fashion and design plus some hope for the future as well. Maybe? hashtag kindness. 😔 ❤️

[danielledanielle]

That makes me so glad @Sunnysmom .  I found it a really good read, and wasn't sure about posting it since there's some strong opinions in there.  While I try to keep stuff light, I felt this one was important.  His loss was indeed a big loss.

[Sunnysmom]

I get that @danielledanielle .  I never want to overstep here at all. Such a tricky time and this is a beauty-based forum but still… This all just feels different and important. And I’m so glad you did. 😘

[itsfi]

I thought I was going to take a longer break from drawing inspo from movie characters for my day-to-day dressing. But the Bay Area weather being what it is gave me a couple of opportunities to put together a couple of looks inspired by the Jordans from Ocean's 8 that might not ordinarily be worn in the same season, let alone the same week. 

Who are the Jordans, you ask? (see spoiler - it's been 7 years since the film came out, but if you haven't seen it and don't want to know, don't open the spoiler )

Spoiler

Photo cred: Just Jared
The Jordans of Ocean's 8 would be Rihanna's Nine Ball (aka Leslie) and her little sister, Veronica, who helps the crew figure out how to work their way around the magnet to remove the necklace from the neck of Anne Hathaway's Daphne Kluger as part of the heist taking place during The Met Gala. 

Nine Ball

I decided to reinterpret Nine Ball's polar opposite looks in Ocean's 8. The character's attire is very casual and laid back for the entire movie except for one scene - at The Met Gala with the glam red dress. So I decided to go for street casual with an air of a high fashion sprinkled about. 

The Fit:

• Black square neck, cap sleeve tee, Free People
• Army green, midi cargo skirt - I found this at a boutique when I was traveling 4-5 years ago - I should let go of it but it's one of those pieces that just come in handy on the weekend when it's not warm, but not cold outside but you don't feel like wearing jeans or yoga pants
• Oversized, zippered hoodie, Fear of God Essentials - for the cooler mornings & evenings (mine is not so stark white, more of a light heather white hue)
• Fenty x Puma hat
• Sneakers, Converse x Play Comme Des Garcon Chuck Taylor Chuck 70
• Black hoop earrings (mine are slightly thinner) - bought at the same boutique as the cargo skirt, but maybe 3 years ago?
• Rasta bracelet, from a vendor on Telegraph Avenue (Berkeley, CA) when I was in college - it's vintage at this point

The Fab:

• The hat
• The shoes

The Face (and Fingernails):

• All Fenty, except the nail polish. I'm pretty sure I have a red polish from Dior (Rihanna is the face of Dior J'adore) but I couldn't find it easily. So we're going with Gucci Glossy Nail Polish 25 Goldie Red because it's one of my favorite reds and I could put my hads on it easily. 
• Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Stunna Lip Paint Longwear Fluid Lip Color Uncensored, blotted and lightly topped with a little Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Plush Puddin’ Intensive Recovery Lip Mask With Pomegranate Sterols + Vitamin... to keep my lips moisturized. Gotta get that red in there.

Veronica Jordan

The Fit:

• Plaid blouse, Rails - this was from a few years back, and I bought it because it reminded me of a shirt I had when I was in high school, definitely not from Rails back then, probably from Mervyn's
• Barrel Jeans, Frame - credit goes to @PDXXXX for these. I never would have ever thought I could pull off barrel jeans, but here we are.
• Navy jacket, J Crew - it's like windbreaker and bomber jacket in one
• adidas Superstar 80 ADV
• Army green cotton backpack 
• Adjustable bracelet, Stella & Dot (from a long time ago, maybe close to when they first started actually) - chose it because it has nine silver balls, as sorta an homage to the Nine Ball character 😉
• Not shown in the collage, but I also wore the earrings worn for the Nine Ball inspired look because don't little sisters "borrow" things from their older siblings?! 🤣

The Fab:

• The top, because it's a throwback - styles do come back around
• The Fenty makeup bag because I really wanted it, thought I had missed out on it, and then months later saw it was included as a promo giveaway at an event 🙌
• Lip look is one of my fall go to's that I've trying out for the last month and a half, a red-brown / brown-red lip combo posted to Lips on Lock 🔐: List Your Lip Combos 💄👄 - Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Trace'd Out Longwear Waterproof Pencil Lip Liner Brown'd Out HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA Color Fuse Longwear Hydrating Glassy Lip + Cheek Blush Balm Stick Glassy Clov... Rare Beauty Lip Oil Blaze (new-ish so I'm not able to tag it)

The Face (and Fingernails):

• Mostly Fenty - Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Hydra Vizor Huez Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum Mineral Spf 30 Sunscreen ... Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush 10 Rosé Latte and lip combo above
• DIOR Nail Glow Polish 0.3oz / 10 mL - it's usually this or Canmake Nai Hardener on my nails most days

[danielledanielle]

VICTORIA JORDAN?!?!  How do you come up with these?!? @itsfi 

I want that hat.  I know you listed the deets, but I should avert my eyes.

Gucci Glossy Nail Polish 25 Goldie Red is a beautiful red, and perfect tie in!

Oh yes, barrel jeans.  They are excellent transition pieces, def cred to @PDXXXX 

[itsfi]

lololol @danielledanielle, I thought you would get a kick out of Miss Veronica Jordan, Ocean's 8 resident high school student / professional hacker who spills the beans on Nine Ball's real name. I was trying to get some inspo for Rihanna's looks from the film and I caught sight of the pic of her on set with the actress who plays her sister so I rewatched the movie (and after watching it again, she's like the key to the whole heist being a success, so go Veronica!) I was just really excited when I saw that I actually had a shirt that looked like the one she (Veronica) wears in the film, which yeah, shows that it's an old shirt. 😂 And, again, thanks to Ms. @PDXXXX my look was elevated to something on trend with the barrel jeans. 

Edited to add: You neeeed the hat. I forgot which season / year that hat came out but there are a few different color combos. I remember there was a black with white ribbon one I really wanted but that sold out quick.

[danielledanielle]

The Fit RTR - Thebe Magugu olive blazer with BR satin joggers and silk dress (worn as a shirt) 

The Fab: Still suiting.  The silky and satiny is a nod to @itsfi call to Oceans 8, particularly to Cate Blanchett's Lou.  Also, olive green tones are my neutrals, so I enjoy monochrome or color family looks with them.

 

The Face: Capsule Challenge Wurkhouse Week.. we've got Danessa Myricks Beauty Groundwork: Defining Neutrals - Palette For Eyes, Brows, Face & Lips , Danessa Myricks Beauty Linework Paintbrush Fluid Liquid Eyeliner 0.034 oz / 1 ml , Nars Blush combos and lip combo all in the vein of Mocha Mousse 

[itsfi]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This turned out so well! I love olive green as a neutral and it looks great with those jogger pants. Lou would be proud @danielledanielle. The sunglasses are so her!

[danielledanielle]

@itsfi , TY! I know it's not an exact Lou fit, but the shiny shirt dress, the shades and the leopard details makes it more so.

I think these sunglasses were picked up at a lunch break during jury duty.  I needed some shiny stuff and there they were, never thought I'd get this much use out of them.  I feel like the best accessories are usually the ones we "just picked up."

[itsfi]

The whole ensemble has Lou vibes @danielledanielle, but I agree, the accessories really bring it together - it's in the details. It's fun seeing how everyone puts together the looks, whether it's a replication of the original or an adaptation of it. 

I have to say I've discovered some of the best things before jury duty or during the lunch break during jury duty - a new-to-me coffee shop, a new perfume, a new lunch spot, etc.

[itsfi]

Here we are, the last of my inspired outfits from the original The Devil Wears Prada movie 🎥 (shameless plug - The Devil Wears Prada 2 slated to hit theaters 5.1.2026). These outfits were inspired from the film's ending scene. As Stanley Tucci's Nigel would say "All right everyone, gird your loins!"

Starting off with the new assistant. A very small part in the film, but Emily and Andy were once Miranda’s assistants. I don’t even think they credit her character with a name and she doesn't have a verbal speaking part, but she's the one to whom Emily remarks (in praise of Andy) "You have some very large shoes to fill. I hope you know that."

The Fit: The outfit the character wears in the film is far more stylish, even just the one shot. I kept it classic, straightforward.

• White, black & grey (tweed like print) pencil skirt
• White top
• Black stretch belt
• Black cardigan 
• Round toe pump, Kate Spade
• Bucket tote bag, Freja New York

The Fab:

• The bag

The Face:

• MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Color Pencil Long-Lasting Lip Liner 606 Wherever Walnut (Sephoria 2023 NYC)
• Prada Prada Monochrome Soft Matte Blur Lipstick B107 SEDONA - for this last set of outfits, every look included at least one Prada makeup product. 
• Rhode peptide lip treatment - lemontini (limited edition) for a little sparkle and hydration

Emily Charlton is one of the film's characters whose background I wish we knew more about. We saw Andy’s first day; what was Emily’s first day like? She loves fashion, and does try so desperately to please Miranda or live up to what she (Emily) believes is expected of her. But, how did she arrive at Runway? And, what are the other facets of her when she's away from Runway - is she ever far away from Runway?

Emily's fashion style is like her personality in the film- fierce and sassy. I would not describe myself or my fashion style as fierce or sassy. To try to copy Emily's look would make me look like a small child who raided her older sister's closet. But, I wanted to use her look in her final scene as inspo and an homage. 

I love the jacket Emily wears in her final scene in the first film. I debated whether to go with a similar plaid print Black Halo Jackie O dress, but that dress style, while beautiful, seemed a smidge too mainstream and corporate for Emily. So, after scouring my closet, the internet and a couple consignment shops in town, here we are. 

The Fit:

• Plaid blazer, amazon of all places
• Midi length dress with halter top and pleated bottom, A.L.C. - this I found at a consignment shop, while out of a walk. I know, I know - how very convenient that I happened to walk past a consignment shop, right?! That's my story and I'm sticking to it. 😉
• Faux obi wrap belt
• Purple suede pumps, Sam Edelman - a nod to Emily's purple belt in this scene
• Clutch, Cuyana
• Earrings & bracelet, Alexis Bittar - these were part of the Jacqueline Follet inspired outfit earlier this year. 

The Fab:

• The dress 
• The clutch
• The earrings - not as heavy as they look

The Face:

• Hmmmm, I went to tag the Gucci lip liner, but is Sephora no longer carrying them? It seems Gucci has discontinued (?) their lip pencils as they don't appear on the brand's site (but are available at Macy's online). Anyhow, Gucci Crayon Contour des Lèvres Long-Lasting Lip Liner Pencil 04 Rouge, a subtley orange-based red. I paired it with Rhode peptide lip treatment, unscented & clear.
• MAKE UP FOR EVER Rouge Artist For Ever Matte 24HR Longwear Liquid Lipstick 290 - Never-Ending Plum 
• Prada Dimensions Multi-Effect Refillable Eyeshadow Palette 01 PORTRAIT 
  
  

Miranda Priestly is a force, for sure. Her outfits, of course, are always polished and put together. I mean, the pajamas she's wearing in the scene where Andy stops by to bring her the copy of the yet to be released Harry Potter book for the twins, look fancier than the fanciest piece I own. 😅

The Fit:

• Black, high bateau neck sheath, Karen Millen - yes, this dress appeared in a previous TDWP inspired outfit. My version of Miranda wears her pieces more than once. 😊
• Black windowpane coat - I found this some time ago at a boutique in Seattle, Washington. I'm pretty sure it's a design patterned off of a Lanvin coat. The Lanvin one came in black as here, and a white one with black windowpane patterning, but both were full length coats.
• Black oversized rectangular sunglasses, Burberry
• Coral, orange, rust gem necklace, Kate Spade
• Assortment of rings
• Black suede pointy toe pumps
• Quilted tote 

The Fab:

• The dress
• The coat
• The shoes

The Face:

• Chanel Le Crayon Levres Longwear Lip Pencil 162 Nude Brun
• Prada Hydrating Lip Balm with Jojoba Oil U001 Astral Pink 
• Prada Dimensions Multi-Effect Refillable Eyeshadow Palette 07 Peony 

Finally, we have Andy Sachs, who has left her job at Runway and is embarking on a new career, her dream career, in jounalism. I thought about replicating Andy's outfit from the ending scene, but opted to be inspired by it instead, making it a little more business casual.

The Fit:

• White button down shirt
• Straight leg jeans, Paige
• Deep navy single breasted trench with dark tan trim - no idea where or when I got this; it was in the back of the closet in the guest bedroom.
• Pointy toe, ankle wrap heels, Steve Madden
• Dark red skinny belt
• Top handle bag, Mulberry
• Red tiger's eye necklace - this was part of the outfit inspired by the Nigel character, an ode to Nigel who helped Andy navigate the fashion world and Miranda.

The Fab:

• The trench
• The bag

The Face:

• Gucci Crayon Contour des Lèvres Long-Lasting Lip Liner Pencil 05 Rubis, a true red
• Rhode peptide lip treatment, clear and unscented
• Prada Dimensions Multi-Effect Refillable Eyeshadow Palette 09 Primula 

And, that's a wrap for The Devil Wears Prada inspired outfits, from the first film, at least @caitbird @danielledanielle. There's been leaks / sneak peaks of the fashion for the second film and that's sparked some ideas. Also, I've gotten it in my head to try reinterpreting some outfits worn by the Oceans 8 cast. If that strikes an interest for folks, join me and show us your outfits!

[danielledanielle]

The New assistant?!?  The characters you pulled from the movie surprise me to no end.  I'm tickled and amazed, like I vaguely recall her skirt more than I do her. @itsfi . The choices are all 🤌🏽🤌🏽

Ocean's 8! Ocean's 8! Ocean's 8! 

[itsfi]

heehee, this has been a fun movie to find inspiration for outfits @danielledanielle! The characters are great, too, so it ups the fun quotient even more. I'll work on inspo from Ocean's 8 and The Devil Wears Prada 2 on parallel tracks - should be easier with fall around the corner. I need to do a little digging, but I'm fairly certain I can do a full Fenty face for Rihanna's Nine Ball inspired look. 😍

[danielledanielle]

I'm dropping this and filling in when I can.  I got logged out looking up the name of something 🙄😞

The Fit: RTR, dress is No Pise La Camelia

The Fab: A linen dress with poet sleeves?  It's an outfit itself , minimal accessories needed

The Face: Urban Decay Honey with a moody lip thanks to Danessa Myricks Beauty Colorfix - Multi-Use Eye, Cheek & Lip Waterproof Liquid Pigment Chocolate 

The Fit: RTR, Stella Nova Out of Office topwith Sephora Swag 😎 (the Daphne Dover bag, bag charm and sunglasses from a virtual event)

The Fab: Riding the Devil Wears Prada wave with @itsfi , this is from the sequel.

The Face: after a brush washing day, I go either very light on makeup or do "all hands on deck" or what i sometimes call "fingerpainting". I did a decent smoky eye with the Makeup by Mario Eyeshadows 

The Fit: Kahindo. I thought the jacket was going to be too much, but sometimes you just gotta go for it. 

The Fab: I love a graphic print, especially something that's connecting me to my heritage, and in a suit form!  The jacket makes it suit-y, underneath is actually a romper.

The Face: ugh, I don't remember.. Will have to look back

 

The Fit: Boss suit, D'IYANU for the top

The Fab: Corset for the boardroom 

The Face: A blue gray smoky eye, courtesy of VBB Smoky Eye Brick in Royal 

The Fit: Rodejber Suit with WEWOREWHAT shirt and Coach loafers

The Fab: Vacation feelings 

The Face: I tried for a slickback 🤷🏽‍♀️ wirh Ceremonia Pequi Medium-Hold Styling Hair Gel 6.7 oz / 200 mL  I think this was Smoky Eye week, too

 

The Fit: Tom Baker floral dress with Hermes scarf and Converse 

The Fab: the dress is voluminous in the right places, but still gives a bit of snatching.  I went back and forth on purchasing this, gave in.  I also love my fro in progress 

The Face: I was definitely into face mapping this week, needed to blend out the eye just a bit more, but it still kinda works

[itsfi]

Oh goodness, I can't pick which outfit I like most @danielledanielle. Tell me they are taking up permanent residency in your closet! If any of these are from RTR, get them Get. Them!!! These are fab. That green geo print suit looks stunning on you - the necklace and cat eye sunnies, girl!!! 😍 And I love that eye look and the whole ensemble with the mint green suiting.

Ummm, Anne Hathaway and the DWP2 team should be taking some inspo from you with your outfit! The ice cream cone on the shirt adds such a fun touch and, is that the Sephora x Dagne Dover phone sling and Sephora x Bauble Bar lipstick charm?!!!
