🔮 While photos of the design have yet to be released, this romantic look could easily work as her “something blue.”
🔮 The quote was inspired by an experience Moms Offering More founder Kasondra Herrendorf Cohen shared with her father, Hershel Herrendorf, in May 2014.
🔮 (Which might explain why so many of my fashion-industry friends have bought into the brand, too.)
🔮 With its sweetly buttoned keyhole neckline, 3/4 sleeves and flirty A-line silhouette, Hadid’s mini offers countless styling possibilities; the star could’ve easily swapped her sneakerinas for kitten heels and ditched her jacket to take the laid-back look into evening. Priced at $95 and available in sizes XXS through XL in both black and ivory, the Jane Birkin-inspired dress is made from soft, stretchy organic Peruvian cotton jersey — so it’s machine washable, too.

🔮 Swift made her solo directorial debut in 2020 with the music video for “The Man,” and has since directed “All Too Well: The Short Film” in addition to her music videos for “Cardigan,” “Anti-Hero,” “Bejeweled,” “The Fate of Ophelia,” “Opalite” — and, most recently, “Patient Zero,” which is set to premiere during tonight’s show.
🔮 Taylor Swift surprised and delighted fans on Tuesday by announcing a new song, “Patient Zero,” which will be out on Friday. “I’ve been impatiently waiting to tell you that my brand new single ‘Patient Zero’ will be out on September 25 (!!!!!!!!!!!!) and it’s available to pre-order now on my website for 24 hours,” the Grammy winner shared on Instagram, along with the artwork featured on one of the three different single covers: a sultry shot of Swift posing in profile.
