The upcoming 2(X)IST S/S16 Collection made its stunning debut at Manhattan's Skylight Modern venue on Wednesday night, showcasing everything the brand has in-store for the new year. We were front row capturing it all as we were most eager to see their new underwear and everything else they have to offer - since 2(X)IST is much more than just an underwear brand. 2(X)IST is a lifestyle brand also designing athleisure and swimwear looks, even accessories such as bags and watches. Their latest venture though is their first line of women's intimates and activewear, which also made an appearance on the 2(X)IST Spring 2016 Runway.

Jason Scarlatti, Creative Director for 2(X)IST, clued us in on what to expect from the brand at this year's Project Menswear Tradeshow. As a whole, 2(X)IST is big on experimenting with different fabrications. The brand is riding the micromodal train into 2016, focusing on materials that react with your body - in this case, a natural moisture-wicking ability.

Standout looks from the 2(X)IST S/S16 Collection were, of course, the newest iterations of their No-Show Briefs - one of which was made from a transparent mesh material, a first for the brand.

In terms of apparel, a shirt with mesh panels on the shoulders left a burning impression and showcased the "fun fabrications" Creative Director Jason Scarlatti promised. For the women, one standout top was designed with attractive cutouts just below the shoulders, both revealing and breathable.



What look off the brand new 2(X)IST S/S16 Runway has you most excited for the upcoming collection? Has your personal 2(X)IST collection extended beyond the brand's underwear yet? Let us know in the comments below, or by tweeting us @underwearexpert.

JWoww's Dramatic Wedding Dress Revealed!

Jenni "JWoww" Farley chose one hell of a dress for her October 18 nuptials to Roger Mathews. 


The "Jersey Shore" star walked down the aisle at the Addison Park banquet hall in Keyport, New Jersey in a custom Ysa Makino gown that featured a whopping 10-foot train.


 



"I wanted my dress to look like it’s from the Victorian era,” Jenni told In Touch magazine.


According to her website, JWoww changed into a different dress for the reception. She described her wedding day to In Touch as "everything I've dreamed of and more." 


The couple's memorable day included a first dance to John Legend's "All of Me" and a surprise announcement that none of their 325 guests knew about: the bride and groom revealed that they are expecting a second baby.


 



"Roars came from the room because literally nobody had any idea,” JWoww told In Touch. "We didn't tell a soul, not even our families. So everyone was in such total shock! It was amazing."


The couple became parents for the first time in July 2014 when they welcomed daughter Meilani.

So Nike finally got around to self-lacing shoes. But for those of us who don't live in the future, the below trick is a groovy substitute.


Turns out you've been tying your shoes wrong forever... and too slowly, to boot. (LOL, see what we did there?!) This super speedy trick -- which Imgur user fuzzydustmite brought to our attention -- involves winding both laces around your thumb and index finger, then pinching them together in one fell swoop. 


Whoa.

This post is part of a weekly series celebrating #ThrowbackThursday with reflections of our favorite childhood memories, past pop culture moments and more!


Many reggae and hip-hop artists throughout history -- from Rick James to Meek Mill -- have rocked their long hair unapologetically. 


From picked-out puffs to press and curls and tight braids, musicians have rocked hairstyles that exemplified the ultimate #hairgoals for everyone. Looking at their tresses make us want to never forget to schedule our bi-weekly hair appointment, moisturize our scalps and sleep with a satin scarf on at night. 


Since none of these artists have started a natural hair YouTube channel yet (a pity, we know), we decided to pay homage to the glorious manes. Pay attention because your next hairstyle inspiration may lie within the hair of these 19 men:

This Instagram Account Has All The Eyebrow Inspiration We Need

If you're not following Kelley Baker on Instagram, we suggest that you do so ASAP. The celebrity makeup artist's account is an ode to the most perfect eyebrow arches we've ever seen. 


EmbedContent(562911a4e4b0aac0b8fbf97e,

,Embed,html,Some({}))

Boasting 13 years of experience, Baker knows how important well-groomed brows are to an individual's look. She makes this crystal clear with the shocking brow makeovers she posts on social media and the celebrity clients (Zendaya Coleman, Michael Douglas, Naya Rivera, Mandy Moore and Kelly Rowland, just to name a few) who flock to her Venice, California salon.


"A brow transformation never gets old to me," Baker told HuffPost. "It's the boost of confidence I see in each client after I have transformed their brows that gives me so much joy. The brows are the focal point of the face and creating the perfect shape brings out their most beautiful features."


The self-proclaimed Brow Queen of LA uses a four-step process (waxing, tweezing, trimming and filling) and her "Fab Four" kit (highlighter pencil, brow powder, angled spooley brush and highlighter smudge brush) to achieve stunning eyebrows.


EmbedContent(562911a4e4b0aac0b8fbf980,,Embed,html,Some({}))

"My goal is to create the brow to look as full and natural as possible. I am a stickler for straight lines," said Baker. "I like to enhance the brows in a soft manner without looking like they are drawn on. I also like to have my clients hold up a hand mirror as I do the fill in so they can achieve the same look at home with product." 


Even though Baker prefers that her clients not touch their brows in between appointments, she believes a good set of tweezers are essential to own so that you can pull out the strays under the brow line. 


Scroll down to see some of Baker's best eyebrow transformations and to watch a video of her giving one guy a much-needed brow makeover.

Oscar winner Helen Mirren looked simply divine walking the red carpet on Wednesday night at the opening ceremony of the Tokyo International Film Festival. 


The 70-year-old British actress wore a floor-length white satin gown with a sheer overlay embroidered with intricate pink floral accents.

Mirren recently visited Alan Cumming's interview series, "Remember That Time," and conversation quickly turned to the actress' most famous body part -- her "pleasure pillows." The "Woman in Gold" star revealed that she no longer feels pressure to appear nude on screen. 


“That’s the good thing about getting older,” Mirren said. “You don’t have to do that sort of thing any more ... [Now] my pleasure pillows are purely for my husband."

It's hard to blame people for wanting to imitate Frida Kahlo's distinct look. 


Arguably one of the most celebrated artists of all time, Kahlo’s personal style and aesthetics were as iconic and bold as her canvases. So it’s really no wonder why, more than 60 years after her passing, she continues to be an inspiration for many people’s #stylegoals -- especially around Halloween.


The secret to channeling Kahlo on Halloween (or ever) is to incorporate the famous accents, accessories and hairstyles often worn by the beautiful artist in photos and self-portraits, while still making the look your own. Need a little inspiration? Take a look at how these 23 people interpreted her look, and get ready to let your Frida flag fly!

Bradley Cooper And Jennifer Lawrence Don't Want To Sleep Together, Sorry

Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence have co-starred together in three movies, with a fourth, "Joy," hitting theaters on Christmas. 


With all that time on set together something must have happened, right? Wrong, says Cooper, who appeared on Howard Stern's Sirius XM radio show on Wednesday. 


The 40-year-old said we have director David O. Russell to thank for their repeated on-screen pairing and shot down the idea that there's ever been a romantic connection between them. "It just didn't happen," he said before Stern point blank asked if the co-stars were ever going to sleep together. 


"Never," Cooper replied. "It's not the way we are together."


Of course, Stern isn't the first person to ask the actor about the possibility of a romance with JLaw. Back in 2013, he cited their 15-year age difference as an issue, telling "Entertainment Tonight," "No, no, no, no, no. Not even close. First of all, I could be her father. No, I'm kidding. But no, not even close."


Cooper told Stern that was more of quick way to shake the media from that line of questioning, but it was an answer that would come back to haunt him. 


"I said that once on a red carpet just as a diffuse thing," Cooper told Stern "And then it became a thing because the girl I was seeing [Suki Waterhouse, who was 21 at the time] was as young as she was."


And if you're wondering Lawrence's take on all this, she previously told Us Weekly that she thinks of Cooper as her work husband, adding that there's "no sex!" in their relationship.

'Every Body Has A Story' Celebrates Unconditional Self-Love

Bodies come in all kinds of shapes, colors and sizes. Every so often, we all need a reminder that no matter where ours falls on the scale, or what it's been through, it is beautiful


The latest reminder comes from the "Every Body Has A Story" campaign by Knixwear. The video below features 14 women of different shapes and sizes and experiences, including cancer survivors, moms-t0-be and more, each examining the complicated relationship she has with her body.

"My body has not always been the greatest cooperator," says a woman who was diagnosed with Crohn's disease as a child. "I love these stretch marks because they are a reminder of giving birth to two beautiful, wonderful girls," says another. 


"I'm not 'too' anything," declares a third participant. "'Too' is a word that I don't need to use about my body anymore."


The message is clear: bodies, and the stories that come with them, should be loved the way the are -- imperfections and flaws included.


Head to stories-knixwear.com for more of the campaign.

It's no secret that David Beckham can bend it.


But his game face is in a whole other arena. Nothing could prepare onlookers for what went down when the retired footballer and cologne-maker walked into a dressing room and faced off with his hardest opponent yet: a huge camera.


Who won this ultimate staring contest? Check out the intense photos below:

6:02 p.m.: Beckham arrives in a casual shirt, but looks anything but relaxed once he spots his opponent across the room.

6:03 p.m.: Camera starts off strong -- for a second it looked like Beckham would blink, or possibly crack a smile, but no! He remained solid while he took off his shirt.

6:15 p.m.: Oh, but camera was bolstered by support from his coach! Could Beckham possibly lose this one while he puts on a green jacket?!

6:21 p.m.: NO! HE MADE IT. Clear eyes and looking sharp. But next comes the hard part. The tuxedo. Can Beckham Go All The Way?!

10:36 p.m.: GASP. NO. He couldn't hang. The camera was just too much for Becks. Good thing he sure looks nice in a suit. Winner: camera.

The Color of Makeup

Make-up is a part of every day life, and many people turn to it to highlight their features and embrace an updated face. However, there is more to makeup than simply the application of color. There is energy in every color, and that energy shifts and changes with the depth of shades you use, as much as where it is applied. Each color chosen has a direct correlation to the way your mood might swing and, ultimately, how you feel about yourself. Enhancing the vibration through color choices will promote a more confident you. You can feel the difference when you apply certain hues over others. Choosing your colors with intention as well as for coverage, will brighten up your personality and add positive energy to your makeup experience.

Here are three basic shades and their meanings to keep in mind when choosing colors. Used in association with your intention, you can create positive energy. I can't emphasize enough that you be sure your choices are coupled with your intention for results that will match your own energy.

Pink - offers us the opportunity to convey self-love. When pink is used it conveys kindness and will make you more approachable.

Red - offers us strength and energy through pure passion. If you want to convey power, red is your color.

Black - offers you the luxury of boundaries and mystery. Black will always help you fill in the blanks while conveying secrecy and protection.

Look at your face from this standpoint and you will be able to associate the colors you apply with the way you wish to feel. When we customize our makeup through the understanding of the energy of color, we come away with a more balanced and whole feeling about ourselves.

Why I'm #PlusPositive

I sometimes get fans saying things like, "Why do they even call you Plus Size? You're just a normal-sized woman."

2015-10-22-1445476398-5895812-Insta_PlusPositive.png

While it's true that the average American woman is a size 14, like me, "normal" or Straight Size models in the fashion industry tend to be size 0-2. I don't like the idea of women above a size 2 being made to feel ostracized because of their size, but I think that the label of "Plus Size" is a great one, and I'm proud to call myself a Plus Size Model.

The reality is that we live in a society that functions on labels. It's our nature as humans to want to put a name to things, and we rely on these as frameworks to interpret the world around us. For women who are seeking to be comfortable in their skin, "Plus Size" has given us a powerful community to engage with. It's also allowed women in the fashion industry to organize around a central idea, which is why we're now seeing so much more recognition of the Plus Size population in marketing and development of fashion brands.

And it's important to note that at the end of the day, modeling is all about marketing. There's a reason that women who make their living showcasing fashions are called "models." Because fashion is about embodying an image that other shoppers are going to want to emulate. So in addition to showcasing garments in an aspirational way, models ultimately become role models for different personas and the ideals behind them. This can be positive or negative, and I love the fact that being a Plus Size model gives me a platform to make women feel beautiful, happy and loved.

Plus size models have created a space in the fashion world for women of all sizes to feel good about their bodies, and for the ideals that say, "you deserve to feel beautiful," "your body is a thing to be celebrated" and "you are worthy of being loved." It's not about vanity, but rather about knowing your worth as a human being and being able to put it to work in the world.

Feeling good about yourself and letting your inner beauty shine is not just good for you. Ultimately, it's good for everyone around you as well. Feeling good about yourself enables you to get out of your head, to move through the world, to make decisions that are healthy for you and to share positive energy with others. This quote from Marianne Williamson is a favorite one of mine that sums this up well:

We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? . . . Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do . . . And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.


That's why I'm proud to wear the label of #plussizemodel and be #pluspositive!

This 3-Year-Old's Instagram Account Is Cuteness Overload

Overalls, bandanas, military jackets, flower crowns -- it may sound like we're talking about a fashion blogger's wardrobe, but in reality we're describing a 3-year-old's. But make no mistake, Ava isn't just any toddler. The Florida native has a better fashion sense than most women we know (and an Instagram account to prove it). 


The tyke's feed, run by her parents, showcases her in oversized glasses, animal print vests and adorable topknots. And if it looks like this little girl knows how to pose, it's because she does. Ava is a child model who has worked with brands like Guess and Gusella. 


It might be a few years before we see her on any major catwalks, but in the meantime we'll get our cuteness fill from her Instagram account.
