Hailey bieber is just so… blah. Feel like shes always being pushed into the spotlight and forced into it girl status but theres no IT with her. Im sure shes a nice lady i am just soooo uninterested
I really agree. She is pretty and seems cute and nice but she is just blah. I feel like with the rising of the clean girl aestethic she gained her popularity. Her fashion sense is ok but I feel like it gets exaggerated a lot on tiktok as if people never saw someone wear blazers with jeans
I also feel like nepo babies should go out of their way to go to arts schools and sponsor people who don't have nepotism to help them break into the industry. Like I think people would like nepo babies a lot more if they then use their privilege to start a scholarship or a charity. Or would take an apprentice under their wings every couple years. I just feel like if I broke into a very sought-after industry because of who my family was and not my own skills I feel like I would try to spend the rest of my career doing that for other people who weren't born with the same privileges as me.
@@WhitneyDahlin problem is, that would mean they’d have have to realize and embrace that they‘re simlpy priviliged and that‘s exactly what they seem to be incapable of
Okay, I ordinarily would NOT pick that kind of outfit for Anne Hathaway but I love it. Her + her styling team found a great edge between taking a fashion risk/looking feminine and chic. Honestly great job.
I have different opinion. There is something in her beauty that does not go along with all these 'fancy' looks. I can't tell exactly why, to me she is kind of 'nerdy kid from the school'....or 'girl that we see on Sunday mass'. Idk, she is beautiful but I just don't see these looks on her.
the red lace in margot's dress was supposed to be a hint to her character's red dress in Babylon! I understand that it might not be for everyone but i personally enjoyed the little detail
I thought that too! While Luke was talking, I was like "You, who are always begging stars on the press junket to pull their characters into their wardrobe, didn't say anything about the connection between the red lace and Nelly's red orgy dress?" Lol edit cause my phone changed orgy to organ.
Jeonghan is a part of Seventeen. Tbh I am so happy that at least some korean idols are pulling through with some interesting fashion choices. I hope they continue to improve though
I am happy too because some have real interest in fashion . But i agreed they need to improve , especially the ones that have a excentric style or experimental :) for exemple it would be interesting to see the8 in loewe? Suga or jhope in thom Browne. They need to let it go 🤓
agreed, they need to improve like they do those in the album shoots, so dont know whats stopping the stylists to do the same in these red carpet events.
The Nepo baby shirt doesn’t work on Hailey like I need a more interesting Nepo Model or one that’s known for being a bit bratty to do something like that for it to be “entertaining or impactful” idk it just so bland on Hailey imo
I honestly cannot understand how Salma gets it wrong so many times, being in the position that she is. Of course she can try to do something new and it might not work sometimes. But she has direct access to all the Kering brands, which there are many. There’s even a nice variety of different styles. Even if she goes outside the group, she’s famous, she can get good stuff.
The idea that Schiaparelli, with all of their exquisite looks, would even OFFER THAT MESS to Michelle Yeoh is offensive. She’s on a Victory Lap. This queen doesn’t need my (or anyone’s) defense. I was just too offended not to speak. She’s never looked less than impeccable before…
The shape of the skirt was interesting, and the jacket was cool: The mismatch of color and embellishment was so jarring. I imagined it as if it were one piece, the skirt made out of the same orangey velvet as the jacket, with the same surrealist embellishments dripping out of the inside of the frothy gathered inside of the skirt, and a really nipped waist to balance out the big weird skirt/shoulders. It says to me someone needs a new stylist. Michelle Yeoh is a big enough star, she can command a custom look. She doesn't need to take straight off the runway if it's not working. Someone made that choice.
Aspen is in Colorado, not Utah. I do love your honesty, insight and all of the work you put into the videos. I look forward to watching them on Fridays!
Kendall is starting to give me 40-year-old-mom who’s had too much plastic surgery and now I’m not actually sure how old she is vibes, and I’m now uncomfortable.
Comments like this are so rude, why do people think it’s ok to say stuff like this. Why are we still so caught up on wanting people to look young, as if that’s all their worth. Especially for women, it seems like people just hate when women look older (through aging or plastic surgery), it’s exhausting.
Regardless of what anyone thinks is appropriate or not, the truth is Kendall is starting to look weird from too much plastic surgery/fillers. It is what it is. No need to sugarcoat it. She was really beautiful and to see her changing for worse is VERY sad. On top of that she’s way too young to have so much crap done to her face. Whoever thinks this is okay needs a reality check. It is her life but she’s a public figure influencing negatively young girls all around the world.
@@roselynmvm But that's the thing beauty is subjective, you may think she looks weird, others think she looks gorgeous (I personally think she's beautiful but that's beside the point). Regardless what our opinions are though, it's wrong to police and judge this persons body especially when it has nothing to do with anyone else. These types of comments just come off as rude and mean spirited.
Hi, Luke amateur fashion historian here just wanted to let you know the historical bullet bra photo you referenced was shopped! the original photo is still quite pointy but a lot more subtle. Love your work as always!
She should rather wear a shirt that says Justin's wife. Cause I don't think her connections really made her achieve anything else other than bagging Justin Bieber 😂
I think the nepo baby tee would have been kinda iconic if someone like Lily-Rose Depp did it because she’s the one that started/added fuel to this whole big debate 😂but Hailey wearing it is just cringey lol
The BEST would have been if someone truly iconic, super-talented with a respected body of work and accolades, who is also "technically" a nepo baby, had done it. I would have DIED to see Laura Dern, Robert Downey Jr. or Jaime Lee Curtis rocking that shirt. It would have really put a point on how ridiculous the whole thing is. I love Gen Z for so many things, but there's something about the way the world works that each generation gets outraged about when they discover it for the first time, and I guess one of their's is realizing this is how entertainment has always been.
@@danaglabeman6919 it's not ridiculous and "it's always been this way" has never been a good argument 🥴😅 This is also not remotely just a Hollywood thing, classism is everywhere hunty. Its done irreparable damage to society since forever and we while always have to fight it, because it's a struggle a "modern" society will always have to face. It will never go away, but it will significantly get worse the longer and more you ignore it, and countries that are actually taking it seriously have been able to reduce the damage considerably.
Jeonghan is from Seventeen, you’d probably love some of their recent collective outfits as a group, but also some of the members solo outfits for events 👀
I might be in the minority but OMG MEN IN SKIRTS! Please more of this. I think it's such a sexy trend. Designers could do soooo much with different silhouettes and play around with how formal they could make them. PLEASE MORE MEN IN SKIRTS!
nepotism would be less infuriating, or at least less would complain, if everyone who got their careers through it were at least competent in their careers. The sheer number of them that are NOT really just highlights how it's literally only their daddy/mommy handing them a high-position and job, contributing to making the world worse and throwing their privilege around in the midst of growing calls to give the bourgeoisie a French Revolution Style anti-aging treatment. or something like that I haven't been on twitter much since Elon took over
Part of the issue is it's really subtle and complex how much nepotism has actually gone into someone's career, and it's so closed-door, there's no way to know. Of course you have those who were like, "Daddy, I wanna model, call your friends and get me a job," but there's also involuntary nepotism, like when someone hides their last name and tells no one who they are, but casting agents find out anyway and chose them because their parents will come to the premiere, or when a director puts their 4 year old in a picture so, like it or not, as a preschooler they already have a SAG card. And of course some aspects of talent are genetic, but teasing apart how much someone owes to mom and dad is inherited and how much to back door connections? Impossible. It's like Louisa Jacobson: she changed her name to hide her connections and has never used her parents' fame: she's actually really self conscious about making sure she doesn't. But it's not that easy to hide who you are. Everyone knew who she was. Within weeks, it was a byline next to her name in every article about "The Gilded Age." And turns out she's not that good. Not bad, but I'm sure they saw many more talented actresses. Of course they picked her, partially, for her family connections. But was that her fault? No. In every profession, for forever, that is subjective, you're gonna have a similar situation. However, Hailey seems to be a pretty obvious case of "I'm only in your face because I was born a Baldwin, married a Bieber a d made friends with a Jenner" I mean, she walked the runway for what, a season?
@@danaglabeman6919 that’s not the case with Haley though. She quit modeling because some casting person told her she wasn’t good and since then she hasn’t tried anything. She just gets pay to show up at every event you see her at. And I highly doubt the t-shirt meant what Luke said (sorry that I’m a nepo baby and can’t help it). It probably means “Im privileged and you’re not” to people that criticize her for, well, not really working hard for anything. That’s probably why people are annoyed about that t-shirt .
The ethos of somebody getting a job because of who they know rather than hard work and merit is a slap in the face and unfair. That is why Nepotism is not valued or appreciated at all.
You're right, but it's not always so black and white. There's such a thing called involuntary nepotism, when someone does their best to hide who they are and not use any connections, and want to make it on their own merit, but it comes out and the people in charge use it to their advantage anyway. Sometimes it's the reverse of what we think: rather than "what can who my parents are get me?" it's more like, "what can we get from putting so and so's child in our production?" I'm not saying it's fair: of course it's not. No one should have a job they don't deserve over someone else who does, in any profession. But there's consequences to the nepo babies too. As someone with a parent with a very prestigious medical career, whom I had to FIGHT to stop from saying "just let me make a call," "I'll talk to so and so and you won't even have to interview," I would bet many of these people would LOVE to be judged on their own talents and have their family connections ignored. But sometimes the publicity those family connections can bring to the project are more important to the people making hiring decisions, and a nepo baby has to either accept that, or find a different career.
I think Margot Robbie seriously killed it and the red lace around the slit gives it an element of something we’re not perhaps allowed to say. I think she did it exceedingly well. The runway was just as beautiful but she pulled it. She full on pulled it down. ❤
The Schiaparelli *has* to be a handbag reference, no? I feel like this is the kind of dress that Cate Blanchett could wear and have it accessorized properly and look iconic. Kendall’s not selling the garment because (given her overall fashion repertoire) looking fuckable is always more important to her than actual fashion.
Love the dress on Dua, and I was ready for that white thong situation to be pointed out. I agree. I was NOT ready for the “crack of one’s crevice”. I am recovering still 😅
in my opinion, the only thing stopping Margot Robbie from fashion excelence now is the hairstyle... she would look incredible with a slick updo in that look!!!
I've been thinking this about a lot of women who just wore her hair like is. I mean they all have access to hair and make-up specialists so they could have requested a great and exciting look.
The bullet bras were never that pointy. That horribly photoshopped vintage pic gets shared constantly and it’s so exaggerated. The exaggeration on the the Schiaparelli look is ART and I love it, but it’s SO far removed from what a bullet bra actually was.
I like the red lace, but I don't love the hem of the blue fabric showing through. I think it ruins the eyeline. I'd rather see the hem either reflect the curve of the lace or the lace cut to the edge of the blue. Something to mollify the conflict.
Thank you for your channel. I look forward to your posts because your comments are well thought out. When something works, you explain why it works, even if it doesn’t appeal to your aesthetic. Also, when something doesn’t work you explain why, and usually offer constructive ideas on how it would work better. I trust your judgement and commentary. Keep up the great work!
This is exactly how I feel about the channel as well. He has a knack and style for delivering his commentary, and even when he’s a bit snarky with the criticism it’s usually warranted and explained why it’s so offensive. Plus he admits when something works even if it’s not to his taste. And he learns and grows. I remember when he wouldn’t forgive asymmetrical styles 😂
I agree with this 100%. I am starting to get more interested in fashion so since I don’t know anything about fashion history or really anything technical at all, I’m really enjoying his channel bc of the detailed explanations
I'm guessing you're already on it, but I NEED your opinion on those new MSCHF astro boy boots. They're just so iconic and popping on twitter rn, but no one knows how to style them 🥲
@@Feefbeef I've only seen like one guy succeed. I think the key is to have other elements in the outfit that compliment the kinda "cosplay" vibe... without being too costumey... 😂 yeah it's tough
as a sucker for blue and red color combination, I loved margot's dress and viola's tory burch! But Miley's Flowers dress is the fashion moment of January 2023.
I think I'm in the minority thinking her just wearing underwear beneath made it look really cheap. had she worn an underskirt in perhaps a strong color like red, green or blue it could have looked a lot better.
The Gabrielle Union Prada dress is similar to Raf's Dior Haute Couture FW 2013 look 11 & 12 and instead of using the Shibori technique, he replaced it with Prada-esque applique. I do quite like it.
I loved when he called it the landing strip. I can't unsee it now. It felt so funny because I scan a look top down, and when my eye hit the open capelet/deep v combo I was like, "oh , how elegant!!" then I made it to the landing strip and was like, why????? Even if the zipper HAS to be there for what ever reason, you're an atelier? Do you not know how to set in a hidden so it looks like a seam? Dillard's can do it!
Luke getting annoyed about Timothée is giving me life!! 😂🤣 Also Viola in that vibrant dress with POCKETS!! I'm so excited to see more and more pockets... just give me all the pockets. I agree, I would've preferred if Jimin and J-Hope had switched looks for Jimin's first outing as the new global ambassador for Dior. It's more impactful, but at the same time, those shoes though. 😅 Maybe he just wasn't willing to risk wearing those ski boot air braces in front of that huge crowd. J-Hope tripped a little, twice, just going from the car to the front entrance of the venue. What I really want to see, is for all the BTS guys to bring their *Special 8 Photo-Folio* energy to these fashion shows. 😮 Give them more interesting looks. Btw Jeonghan is one of the members of Seventeen, and I feel like Ni-Ki the Japanese member from Enhypen is one to watch out for. That viral pic of him attending the Prada show turned some heads; he's got that catwalk model look.
You probably just misspoke, but Aspen is in Colorado, not Utah. I LOOOVE this channel! I recently discovered it, and have been binge watching all the episodes ever since!
I really don't think they do... They keep marketing her as the 'it girl' when she is really really not. Because nobody really cares about what she is doing other than her husband's fans and even a lot of them don't care about her existence.
I think the Dua Lipa look was on purpose. Referencing Whale Tales from the early 2000s so it makes sense. I feel like if it looked too matching it would look like they failed to hide it, ya know?
I agree with the whale tale reference. Spotted that immediately. But I wish it was as a different colour. Like maybe a glittery metallic thong even. The white is just so stark 😅 but I guess it get the effect across.
luke should do more analysis of jhope's fashion, because Hoseok has really experimental tastes when it comes to fashion! j-hope and rm and v have some of my favorite looks when it comes to fashion, and all three have very distinct aesthetics and tastes!
Maybe the angle of the photo is helping the look, but my favorite is actually that Taylor Russel number from Bottega Veneta on the Harper's Bazaar cover. I adore it. My eyes just keep finding new fun details.
Hello from the Western slope of Colorado. Aspen is in Colorado. Park City, where the Sun Dance film festival is held, is in Utah. Right next door. We drink in Colorado. Love your content. Very interesting and different from this area. Your commentary on the history of fashion houses is deliciously informative.
CARATS need to find this, Jeonghan gets it! All of Seventeen are Fashion boys! I would love for you to do a deep dive into kpop fashion girlies and boys
To be fair, Hailey did not choose to be born into a famous family nor did she want to milk it that much and this wasn't her original career choice. She actually trained for several years to be a ballerina (a skill you have to perfect with hard work and hours and can't acquire via nepotism) and she was good at it. She got into modelling after a foot injury stopped her from doing ballet. Even after that, she didn't come off as particularly ambitious or someone who liked being in the spotlight. She could've leveraged friendship with the Jenners much more if she wanted to. That t shirt just made people associate nepotism with her even more when this wasn't her original career choice... she wanted to do something that involved discipline and skill perfection. Unfortunately she's seen as identical to the Kardashians and Jenners in how she got into the industry.
Sundance Film Festival is held in Park City, Utah. Which is similar to Aspen, as it is a resort town, but Aspen is in CO. Keep up the good work, love your vids.
Why is everyone yelling about Colorado . Sundance film festival happens in Utah , and many may forget that the Sun Dance is actually an Americanized term for Wiwáŋyaŋg Wačípi… kinda interesting considering native Americans were banned from celebrating it until the late 70s
I don't understand the complaints about the Margot Robbie dress. "it ruins the sanctity of the dress"??? it's a bit of lace. on a dress. it looks good. literally what's the problem. also you know if it weren't there people would be complaining about rehashing a boring old design so.
The thing with kpop idols is that they have like a different event etiquette, like they will wear interesting clothes in music videos but then you will see them at korean awards and they mostly wear black simple gowns, not like in the west were musicians do the most at award shows in terms of fashion. I think Blackpink are very fashion foward in their mvs but then in awards they play it safe and not just them I think its a korean thing xd they take the black tie very literally
Out of all the outfits ...some fabulous...that sky blue dress with the red lace on Margot was show stopping! Who thought this was cringe? It's unusual...but such a great 180 example of great combos. It's not Christmas at our house until we see Vera Ellen dance in a miniscule wedding dress with red lace gloves in the Minstrels number in White Christmas. The dusky sky blue background with that red baroque throne and red accents is incredible and all themed after Edith Heads costume design! RED was her accent color to make everyone take notice...just like on Margots dress. You nailed it Luke. You know your stuff, and so does your eye! Who thought this was bad? Non traditional, sure...but great? absolutely yes!
