6 Scene-Stealing Performances to Have on Your Radar This Winter

WHAT: The movie musical Mean Girls.

“That’s so fetch!” When we first heard Mean Girls, the Broadway musical version, would be adapted into a movie, we were excited to see what a 2024 version of one of our all-time favorite films would look like. That enthusiasm doubled when we heard who would be stepping into the high-heeled shoes of the Plastics. We stan Reneé Rapp, of course, but we also love a fresh face and couldn’t wait to see Avantika Vandanapu and Bebe Wood in action. Wood—whose previous credits include Hulu’s Love, Victor, Ryan Murphy’s The New Normal, and ABC’s The Real O’Neals—is so fun to watch as the catty but vulnerable Gretchen Weiners. Not only does she deliver on the laughs, but she also has a noteworthy musical number in “What’s Wrong With Me.” What’s more, she’s a fashion risk-taker and lover of all things vintage—a woman after our own heart. read more

7 Refinery29 Editors On The Charlotte Tilbury Products They Actually Repurchase

“As Refinery29’s Deputy Beauty Director, I’m lucky enough to receive an abundance of makeup samples a year, but no matter how many blushes I try, I always come back to this one. I have multiple backups in a drawer! Unlike other cream or liquid blushes, this is a breeze to blend and never feels greasy, nor does it form a crater in my foundation base. My favourite shade is Pinkgasm, which makes me look like I’m flushing from within, but Peachgasm is equally as pretty on my light olive skin. On days where I’m in a rush, I dab on a little concealer and swipe this over my cheeks, chin, forehead and nose, finishing with a tap on my eyelids; it makes me look alive. This does boast a shimmery finish, but it never looks gaudy or unnatural. My top tip: Always remember to click to close (there are instructions on the base, just under the sponge), otherwise it’ll splurge out into the lid, which is a huge waste.” read more

True Fashion People Are Rule Breakers—8 Ways They’re Wearing White Denim Now

There was a time when wearing white jeans at any time of year besides the summer was a true fashion faux pas. White jeans were for summer, and blue jeans were for everything else—no room for debate. While many traditional folks still buy into this narrative, fashion people tend to disagree. What can we say? We like to break the rules. Wearing white jeans whenever it feels like the right time to put them on is exactly what I would expect from the fashion crowd, and I’ve been seeing a lot of it lately. read more

17 White Platform Sneakers That’ll Get You Embracing the “Ugly” Trend in No Time

When it comes to fashion, I’m always down for an “ugly” trend. There’s just something about an obnoxiously weird design that makes me go, “I need that.” We’ve seen plenty of controversial sneaker trends over the past few years, from dad-inspired styles to chunky soles galore, some even becoming necessities in our forever wardrobes. (I wear my grandpa-esque shoes almost daily.) As trends always come back in rotation, 2000s platforms have reappeared on the fashion scene, taking on sandals and everyday sneakers. At 5’3″, I’m not mad, as I could use the additional height. read more

The Best Clitoral Vibrators, According To A Sex Therapist

In fact, Mintz tells R29 that around 96% of people with vaginas require external clitoral stimulation to orgasm. “While sex researchers are still debating if there are different kinds of orgasms, many contend that all [vaginal] orgasms are clitoral,” she expands. (That means that your G-spot massager is actually a clitoral vibrator, too!). That’s why, when it comes to sex toys, the clitoral vibrator options are endless. Subcategories like oral sex toys and newfangled contraptions like tongue vibrators and soul-snatching suction vibrators have popped up everywhere. And that’s not to mention tried-and-true wand vibrators, bullets, and grinders! So if you find yourself adrift in a vast sea of infinite variations of clitoral stimulators, fear not. read more
