Constance Wu Put Mental Health In Asian Communities In The Spotlight. Here’s What’s Next.

Writer and director Huy Vo disagrees with what happened to Wu and the behavior of the Asian community towards her after her tweets about Fresh Off The Boat’s renewal. “Constance is not a monolith for Asian people. The show Fresh Off The Boat is not a monolith for Asian culture. I don’t think her actions hurt Asian Americans at all,” Vo, the creator of Patriot Nails, a series about an Asian American man who discovers fame before discovering himself and his intergenerational trauma, tells Refinery29. Instead, as Vo notes, it’s important to remember that Wu was allegedly sexually harassed by a producer on Fresh Off the Boat while working on the show, which she shared in an October 2022 episode of Red Table Talk with Jada Pinkett Smith. “Constance and all professionals in entertainment are allowed to treat TV and film as work because it is work. That means Asian representation is important, but no one should be giving up their safety for it. No one should be hurt, physically or mentally, for a TV show or film,” Vo says. read more

If Coachella Is Any Indication, These Warm-Weather Trends Will Be Everywhere

Another Coachella has come and gone, and as a first-time attendee, I have to admit, I had no idea what to expect. What was once an item on the bucket list I kept as an angsty 13 year old on Tumblr has now been crossed off more than 10 years later. As someone who grew up watching Vanessa Hudgens and Alessandra Ambrosio frolic along the Polo fields in Indio, California, to attend the country’s largest music festival, I thought I knew what to expect from attendees: cowboy boots, cowboy hats, cowboy vests… you get the idea. Coachella, as a concept, has been torn apart and put back together by shiny TikTok algorithms. In a digital-first world, it’s the fashion community’s first stomping ground to set trends for the upcoming summer. This year was no different. read more

14 Celebrities Who Aced the 2023 Met Gala Theme

The Met Gala, aka the Super Bowl of fashion, was in full effect on Monday, May 1. A-list attendees went all out for the high-profile event, turning the 2023 Met Gala red carpet into one of the world’s most talked-about runways. The 2023 Met Gala theme is based on the Met’s Costume Institute spring exhibit, titled, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” a retrospective dedicated to the late designer and fashion visionary. The exhibit showcases more than 200 sketches and garments from Lagerfeld’s six-decade-plus career at notable fashion houses including Chanel, Chloé, Fendi, Balmain, and his eponymous label. While many of Lagerfeld’s personal views were controversial, it’s impossible to deny his immense impact and legacy on the fashion industry. read more

Alles, was du über deinen Hautunterton weißt, ist falsch

Kurz gesagt besteht dein Hautton aus zwei verschiedenen Elementen: der Helligkeit (das sind meist „fair“, „light“, „medium“, „tan“, „dark“ oder „deep“) und dem Unterton, der den warmen, kühlen oder neutralen Tönen innerhalb einer Hautfarbe entspricht. „Wenn du jemandem direkt ins Gesicht schaust, siehst du nur den oberen Ton. Wenn du aber genauer und auch mal von der Seite oder aus unterschiedlichen Winkeln hinschaust, fallen dir die verschiedenen Komplexitäten des Untertons und der Oberfarbe auf“, erklärt Kia Ragland, Leiterin der Produktionsentwicklung bei Kylie Cosmetics & Skin. „Das alles sollte ideal zueinander passen, und damit auch zu dir passen.“ Es ist vor allem dann wichtig, deinen Unterton zu kennen, wenn du Produkte für deinen Teint auswählst, kann aber auch bei farbigen Produkten wie Rouge oder Lippenstift helfen, um dir einen ausgeglichenen, harmonischen Make-up-Look zu garantieren. Als ich zum Beispiel letzten Sommer auf der Suche nach dem perfekten pinken Lippenstift war, musste ich akzeptieren, dass mein Unterton dafür sorgte, dass sich die Farbe des Lippenstifts in der Tube enorm davon unterschied, wie sie auf meinem Gesicht aussah. read more
