Born in Washington DC and raised in a Maryland suburb, Candice Huffine did a little bit of everything when she was growing up, from being captain of the cheerleading squad to taking her turn as a pageant queen.
Sydney Sweeney Just Re-Created This ’90s Dress From My Best Friend’s Wedding
Sydney Sweeney just might be the queen of red carpet references. At the 2022 MTV Movie & TV Awards, for instance, she re-created a Todd Oldham S/S 95 runway look originally worn by Shalom Harlow. Then at last weekend’s Oscars after-party, Sweeney dug into the archives and re-wore Angelina Jolie’s 2004 Academy Awards dress by Marc Bouwer. And last night, she wore another excellent look with a fun backstory.

I often joke that one of my regrets in life is I wasn’t a teenage girl when Olivia Rodrigo first burst onto the scene in 2021 with her debut single “Drivers License.” The song became an anthem for a new generation of emotionally in-tune teen girls, and I was a little sad that I’ve definitely aged out of that particular group by a good decade and some change.
What Do Black Women In Hollywood Deserve? We Asked Them.
Across industries, Black women make 64% of what non-Hispanic white men are paid (according to stats from 2021) and as white women close wage gaps, Black women fall further behind. Black women’s wage gap was worse in 2022 than it was in 2021. That gap exists in Hollywood, even if there isn’t as much hard data to back it up. What we do have are the anecdotes from Black women in the industry who continually share their frustrations while it seems like gender progress is reserved for white women only. We see that truth amplified during awards season. Emma Stone just won her second Academy Award. It’s not that she doesn’t deserve the accolade. Stone was incredible in Poor Things. But as Sarah Marrs wrote for LaineyGossip about Lily Gladstone’s loss (she was up against Stone for Best Actress and would have been the first Indigenous woman winner and only third woman of color), “The concern, always, is that there simply aren’t the same opportunities for women of color as their white peers. Lupita Nyong’o’s presence at the Oscars this year reminded everyone that in a decade, she has not had another role to put her in Oscar contention,” Marrs wrote. “Meanwhile, Jennifer Lawrence bagged four nominations and one win in five years, and in the same decade Lupita was an Academy Award winner, Emma Stone got four acting nominations and two wins…. there is more to a career than an Oscar, but even WITH an Oscar, it can be hard for women of color to advance.”

When I spot the same unusual accessory on celebrities twice in the span of four days, you can bet my interest is piqued. First, I noticed Irina Shayk wearing a garter belt on the red carpet at the Oscars after-party on Sunday. Then today, I was scrolling through Getty Images looking for an intriguing celeb outfit to cover, and I came across Kristen Stewart wearing the very same thing. I don’t believe in fashion coincidences, so I have a feeling garter belts will quickly become the next big lingerie-inspired trend.
