POPSUGAR: How did it feel to be chosen for the 50th anniversary of the calendar, and what was your experience like on set?
Teyana Taylor: Oh my god, it felt so amazing because Pirelli is super iconic. When I got the call, I’m like, ‘Me? They want me? With who? And who? And who?’ I was really grateful. They embodied who I was with the garden, the roses, the spaceship, and the crazy ensemble. It was really giving Mother Alien, and you can tell it wasn’t like, oh yeah she’s hot right now, so let’s get her. Every detail was carefully thought out, and to experience Africa in that way was so amazing. Although I only had 30 hours there, I would wake up early to go to the markets, get clothes, and experience the culture, and it was just really beautiful.
With the focus on quiet luxury reaching such great heights as of late, it’s confirmation that I’m not the only one looking for ways to infuse an expensive-looking air into my current rotation of outfits. My looks rely heavily on jeans, so I am laser-focused on finding any denim styling tip or trick to achieve that elevated feel I aim for—the easier the better. Imagine my excitement when I came to spot a new denim trend percolating that manages to instantly make your outfit look more expensive: dark-wash jeans.
Prepare to say so-long to your skinny jeans, because Anne Hathaway’s chic tapered cargo pants are about to take over. The actress was spotted wearing in New York City wearing a bright white Des Phemmes suit, complete with sparkly embellishments, Bulgari jewelry, and matching silver Jimmy Choo pumps. We’ve got to admit it’s one of our favorite celeb looks of the season thus far.
Overusing heavy products on delicate eyebrow hairs can damage them, leaving brows dry, sparse and harder to groom, explains Sherrille Riley, brow expert and founder of Nails & Brows Mayfair and Beauty Edit Mayfair. If you do use heavy-duty brow gels, make them the last step in your brow routine, says Baldesberger, so that you aren’t tugging on overly stiff hairs with other pencils, products or tools. “Also, opt for brow gels that have hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid or castor oil,” adds Baldesberger. How you remove your brow gel is just as important. Consider a gentle, oil-based cleanser to dissolve all traces of product. “If you’re not washing the product off effectively, this will cause buildup, which can lead to irritation, clogged pores and potentially breakouts around the brow area,” says Yana Gushchina, founder of London-based brow bar, Browfique. “Likewise, if you’re removing products harshly and constantly tugging or rubbing the brow area, this could make hair fall out, which may result in brow thinning, potentially even causing the hair to stop growing from the follicle over time,” says Gushchina.
