Ever since Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth reportedly got engaged again in January, we've been on "ring watch."

And this week, Cyrus was spotted wearing her gorgeous gold and diamond band while strolling around New York City on Tuesday, dressed in high-waisted flare jeans, a white T-shirt, black jacket and colorful backpack. 

The singer, rocking recently dyed light-blond locks, added sunglasses and black boots to her rather conservative outfit. 

Cyrus recently attended a New York Knicks game with her mother, sister and trusty engagement ring. She sported a more covered-up look than normal, making sure to comment on the outfit by posting a NSFW Instagram. 

Even though Cyrus and Hemsworth haven't officially commented on their rumored on-again engagement, the singer's godmother, Dolly Parton, did the talking for them a few weeks ago.

When asked by Entertainment Tonight if Parton liked the couple together, the country singer said, "Yes I do," adding, "I was really happy to hear that they had gotten back together."

Hello, Mrs. Carter. 

Beyoncé graces Elle's Women in Music issue and talks about everything from fashion to feminism. For the cover image, she dons a black bathing suit from her new Ivy Park athletic wear line. 

While the issue is not available everywhere until April 6, Queen Bey shared the cover on her Instagram Thursday.  

According to Vogue, her activewear collection will go on sale in mid-April at Nordstrom, Topshop and Net-a-Porter. 

She also appears on the Elle U.K. cover.

After more than a year of waiting with bated breath, our first look at Beyoncé's highly anticipated workout line Ivy Park is finally here. 

A video released by the brand on Thursday morning has everything you could ever dream of from Bey: Home videos of her with Solange, sprinklers, a shot of Beyoncé emerging from water looking #flawless, that sultry voice narrating the whole time, and even an *adorable* Blue Ivy cameo. 

The name Ivy Park appears to pay homage both to Blue Ivy and a park in which Beyoncé used to go running as a child. She explains in the video just why it holds such a sentimental place in her heart. 

"There are things I'm still afraid of. When I have to conquer those things, I still go back to that park. Before I hit the stage, I go back to that park. When it was time for me to give birth, I went back to that park. The park became a state of mind. The park became my strength. The park is what made me who I am," she said.

The line isn't quite what we had originally predicted back when it was first announced in Oct. 2014. Instead, the over 200-piece collection appears to boast both workout gear and athleisure items, with many looks featuring "Ivy Park" emblazoned across them. 

Also revealed Thursday was the perfectly timed May issue of Elle, which features the songstress wearing a look from the collection on its cover (of course).

The collection will be sold (and consequently sold out) at select stores, Topshop.com, Nordstrom.com and Zalando.combeginning April 14. 

Now excuse us while we go find our parks ASAP.

While "American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson" fans are buzzing about Marcia Clark's (Sarah Paulson) famous haircut, we're gushing over Paulson's actual hair. 

The actress attended an upfront screening for the FX miniseries in New York City on March 30 rocking a bob that is now our summer hair inspiration. Full of texture, face-framing layers and just a hint of her dark roots, Paulson's bob hairstyle enhances her cheekbones. Plus, it's a look that can be worn in similar beachy waves, or sleek and straight.

Check out Paulson's sexy, messy bob below and see which other celebrity beauty looks we loved this week.

King Kylie Jenner, movie star or kriminal?

The 18-year-old reality star turned beauty guru released a violent short film on Thursday for her Kylie Cosmetics brand. It really showcased her acting skills, if you count "acting" as posting up in a car texting while wearing designer duds. 

The film shows Jenner and a gang of glammed-up girls, named after her upcoming lip glosses "Like," "Literally" and "So Cute." The video vibe is a "desert drug deal gone wrong," with guns, gorgeous girls, lots of cash and flashy cars. Except the theme, of course, is beauty. 

Though Jenner never brandishes a gun, she remains the main focus of the video with her snakeskin top, matching bottoms and large fur coat.

Look for the glosses on kyliecosmetics.com when they drop Friday. We're pretty confident this isn't an April Fools' prank.

A new photo series is reclaiming the beauty of the black female body.

"Body Noire, A Celebration Of Black Female Bodies" is the brainchild of Nigerian-American multimedia journalist Abi Ishola. In October 2015, Ishola founded the website BeyondClassicallyBeautiful.com, months after launching a photo series in direct response to the New York Times piece which described actress Viola Davis as not "classically beautiful."

On Beyond Classically Beautiful, Ishola and her team create visual content to challenge society's beauty standards while shining a spotlight on the undeniable beauty of black women.

The site's latest project, "Body Noire," features striking black-and-white portraits that focus on the diverse physiques of everyday black women. Ishola says the inspiration for the series came during Serena Williams' domination of female tennis in 2015. 

"As she embarked on yet another grand slam somehow her physique became the topic on social media and in mainstream publications," Ishola told The Huffington Post.

"At a time when the world should have been celebrating her for her talent, she was being body shamed for her natural body type. We wanted to do something to honor black women, once again, since that is our main objective."

The result, a powerful photo series featuring women of all sizes and shapes, unapologetically glorifying the power, strength and beauty of their bodies. The stunning photos were taken by photographer Kunle Ayodeji (who also happens to be Ishola's husband), accompanied by candid written confessionals by several women sharing their personal "body stories" and how they've come to love their bodies. 

"I think it's very important to shine the light on black women when it comes to body acceptance because black women have been somewhat left out of the mainstream conversation," Ishola says.  

"Black women are constantly held under a microscope when it comes to the way we look, so it only makes sense to refocus the idea of body positivity on black women in particular." 

In an Editor's Note accompanying the series, Ishola honestly opens up about her own "love-and-hate" relationship with her body, her struggles with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and the way in which having her daughter helped her reconcile many of her body issues. Her own personal journey of self-acceptance ultimately was one of several catalysts that led to this project, which aims to encourage black women to reclaim and redefine the narratives around their own bodies. 

Her hope is for the women who see the "Body Noire" project to "feel represented, loved and celebrated."

"There's no greater celebration than the ones we do for each other.  That is the Beyond Classically Beautiful mission, which I feel has become my life's purpose."

When it comes to self-presentation, Hillary Clinton can't win.

On Wednesday morning, Page Six reported that Clinton spent 600 whole dollars -- the horror! -- on a haircut at a high-end salon in New York City. Clinton, who is running for President of the United States and is a former First Lady, also committed the cardinal sins of (1) having "a huge entourage in tow," and (2) "being ushered through a side entrance." (Security detail? Entourage? Basically the same thing!)

Hillary Clinton is a woman who is constantly in the public eye and on television. She is a person who is constantly photographed. She is also a person who has money, not unlike many other high-profile political figures, and sometimes she spends that money on her personal grooming.

Clinton's hair has become a news item before, like when she wore a scrunchie... 

Or when Matt Drudge started the rumor that she wore a wig... 

Or when she wore a headband... 

The above headlines are all from the last five years. Let's not forget the many snide comments written about her hair before the Internet archived every such piece. As Michelle Goldberg outlined in a piece for Slate in November, Clinton's hair has been a topic of conversation for actual decades, her changing hairstyles used as proof of her "conniving inauthenticity": 

“Not only has Clinton’s hair changed since the campaign season, it seems to change just about every day,” said a 1994 piece in the San Jose Mercury News. “Just this week alone, her 'do went from softly feathered bangs on Tuesday to sleekly coiffed pageboy sans bangs on Wednesday. It’s most discomforting for the national sense of identity, Clinton watchers mutter. After all, you wouldn’t want the Statue of Liberty changing her hemline every other week.” 

Clinton is not the first politician to face criticism over her or his hairstyles and their upkeep -- John Edwards, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders all come to mind. But the tenor and consistency of such critiques feel unique to her. Both Trump and Sanders have faced dumb jokes and rude comments about their hair, but neither's character or "authenticity" has been called into question over it. 

Being a woman in this country means having your worth and respectability tied inextricably to your looks. Women are, of course, not obligated to keep up with beauty norms, but they are always expected to. As a woman who has been in the public eye for years, Clinton knows that all too well. She has not only had her hair picked to death, but also her glasses, her makeup (or lack thereof), her smile and her voice. 

So is it really that crazy to think that she might invest her own money in a nice haircut?

Plus, as writer and editor Anna Holmes pointed out on Twitter, paying hundreds of dollars for haircuts and coloring isn't a habit unique to the Democratic frontrunner:

Preach.

This week, it looked like spring on the best-dressed list. 

Kelly Rowland stepped out in a floral dress, Reese Witherspoon rocked a skirt and bright accessories and Tina Fey and Ellie Kemper matched in blue. 

But the real star of the week was Claire Danes, who proved that having a style uniform can make your life so much easier. The actress wore a tight Narciso Rodriguez dress, very similar to one she rocked a few weeks ago. But hey, if it ain't broke ...

Music festival season is upon us. And kicking things off is arguably the biggest, most popular one of them all, Coachella. 

And you know what that means. Flash tats and flower crowns and fanny packs, oh my. These days, the weekend-long festival in Indio, California, seems to be more about the fashion than the music. People show up dressed to the nines, and the street style photographers are there to capture every minute of it.  

In honor of this, erm, expressive time of year, we've rounded up the 15 most "Coachella" outfits in the recent history of Coachella.

Olivia Pope ... er, Kerry Washington didn't find fashion until later in her life. And since then, she's really handled catching up like a pro.

Take, for example, her most recent look: a sleeveless, ankle-length, full-skirted Dolce & Gabbana gown covered in poppies that retails for $6,495.

Washington, who wore the look for the premiere of her new HBO drama "Confirmation," looked absolutely stunning in the elaborate gown. Pairing its boldness with an updo and strappy black heels, she appeared to take a page out of the handbook of fellow fashion icon FLOTUS.

The "Scandal" star appeared alongside friends and co-stars for the premiere of the film, in which she plays Anita Hill during Clarence Thomas' confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court. 

Playing another fierce female character and looking fierce while doing it? Shocking.

It's not like it's a contest or anything, but if it was, Britney Spears is definitely winning when it comes to throwback photos. 

On Thursday, the 34-year-old shared a photo of herself and Leonardo DiCaprio, who is throwing up a "West Cost" sign and looking like a total dork with his slightly off-center Boston Red Sox cap.  

Spears simply captioned the snap "#tbt," but if we had to guess, her patch-covered jean vest and bucket hat make us think this was taken around 2001 or 2002.

Regardless of the actual date, the photo is just peak early aughts -- a time when Britney was pop music's reigning princess and Leo was the king of the world.

Something magical happened during James Corden's "Carpool Karaoke" special on Tuesday: Audiences everywhere witnessed Jennifer Lopez receive a text message from Leonardo DiCaprio.  

"You mean tonight, boo boo? Club-wise?"

That was the text Lopez received from the Oscar winner after Corden prank-texted him from her phone, writing that the singer wanted to "cut loose" and signing it "J.Lo, you know, Jenny from the Block."

It was pretty great, but did it really happen? Are we to believe the fates aligned in such a way that it would produce such a viral moment?

According to J.Lo, yes. 

After "American Idol" on Thursday night, the 46-year-old told reporters that DiCaprio was pretty understanding when she admitted the text exchange was actually a joke. 

"I did have to explain it to him," Lopez said. "He was a great sport about it ... I was like, 'So hey, this is what had happened! I was with James Corden ...'"

The "Idol" judge said she didn't end up going out to the club with DiCaprio that night, but it seemed like there were no hard feelings about the prank. 

"He was totally like, 'Do whatever you want, I don't care,' Lopez said. "I don't know if he'd say that today!"

Whatever you say, Boo Boo.

“The 21st century is the century of the woman,” said Oscar de la Renta in 2010.

You can see this declaration manifested throughout his work, and throughout his current retrospective at the de Young Museum in San Francisco. His designs, known for their boldness, femininity and opulence, require a woman to be comfortable taking center stage, whether it’s in a full floral ballgown, vibrant kaftan or an embellished tunic.

It’s no surprise then that powerful women from the realms of both politics and pop culture have continuously been loyal clients of the designer throughout his career, from presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to pop star Taylor Swift. At the end of the day, women -- and how they felt in his clothes -- were always what drove his vision.

“I believe that my sole purpose as a designer is to create something that I think a woman would want to wear,” said de la Renta in 1972.

Although there are more than 120 ensembles produced over five decades on display, every piece seems to make one unifying assertion: “Look at me.” His work embraces a singular expression of womanhood, reveling in its aspects of adornment, attention and drama. If all the world’s a stage, de la Renta’s clothes are what you’d want to be wearing for your moment in the spotlight.  

While the retrospective highlights his global influences, from East to West, it also conveys his overarching American attitude toward change. The Dominican Republic-born designer refined his craft in Paris but left for this reason: “I’d come to New York because I believed the future of fashion was in ready-to-wear.”

“Over the course of his career, he mixed an incredible sensibility of ready-to-wear and haute couture, creating demi couture, an amazing synthesis of both,” Richard Benefield, the de Young’s Acting Director and Exhibition Organizer, explained to The Huffington Post. “Oscar could do it all -- whatever was the most fashionable at the moment, he’d do it with his distinctive flair and eye for aesthetics.”

Like a story out of a fashion fairy tale, on his very first night in Manhattan, de la Renta met cosmetics mogul Elizabeth Arden, who offered him a job the following morning designing haute couture gowns for her design house. Two years later, he started his own collection bearing his name.

His legendary status doesn’t end there -- in fact, it was just building. In 1973, he represented the United States as one of five designers at the notorious “Battle of Versailles” fashion show, a competition between French and American designers. De la Renta and the other Americans were a sensation, challenging old-world European haute couture with their ready-to-wear designs.

With a career-long retrospective, it’s easy to see that the 1980s were the designer’s spiritual and aesthetic home. His bold clothes during that time reflected American might and confidence. “In the eighties, it was back into rich, opulent clothes, which were my thing,” he's said.

After the 1980s, the designer was always forward-thinking though, especially when it came to looking to diverse cultures for inspiration, including Chinese embroideries, Indian textiles, Uzbek and Kazakh ikat-patterned cloths, Japanese woodblock prints,and traditional Russian fabrics and ornamentation.

“Today, people -- clothes -- are international. Frontiers are non-existent,” de la Renta says.

His sentiments, like his clothes, feel eternally modern yet timeless. “Oscar de la Renta: The Retrospective” presents the life and legacy of a man who loved life and encourages you to celebrate it, too. With the show’s lush exuberance, it’s an invitation that's hard to resist.

“Oscar de la Renta: The Retrospective” is on view until May 30, 2016 at the de Young in San Francisco, Calif.

Body positivity. It's definitely become a buzzworthy topic over the past few years. 

This year, IMG Models (finally) launched a "brawny" division for plus-size men, and celebrities with bodies not typical of your average model have become figurative spokespersons for the movement -- most recently, the Internet rallied behind Wentworth Miller when he responded to a meme about his weight gain.

While we at The Huffington Post agree that everyone should feel confident and proud of the body they have, the trend isn't as new as you might think -- in fact, in the mid-1800s, a "Fat Movement" gained momentum when affluent people (who didn't have to work and could afford to eat copiously) started gaining weight. It wasn't long before overweight men fraternized around their heaviness, which they liked to call their avoirdupois.

The fat club was born.

The Fat Men's Association of New York City, which first met in 1869, is the first club to organize, according to Kerry Segrave, author of "Obesity in America: A History of Social Attitudes and Treatment." It set off a trend that would spread across the country and into France and Germany, where members could network, eat a lot of food, and, perhaps most importantly, defiantly wear their weight as a badge of pride and honor: "We're fat and we're making the most of it!" they said.

When we read NPR's story about the forgotten history of Fat Men's Clubs, we had to know more.

What was a fat men's club?

Self-proclaimed "fat men" -- wealthy, usually powerful men in major U.S. cities -- gathered together in clubs (with names such as the New England Fat Men's Club, the Jolly Fat Men's Club, the United Association of the Heavy Men of New York State, the Fat Men's Beneficial Association and the Heavy Weights) at various annual events such as picnic excursions, balls and clambakes that they'd have to weigh-in for. In most cases, anybody who weighed less than 200 pounds would have to watch from the sidelines.

While photos of the groups are hard to come by, here is a video, from the archives of the newsreel service British Pathé, that follows the French club, called Les Cent Kilos ("The Hundred Kilos"), along an outing down the Rue de Belleville.

Why would someone want to be in a fat men's club?

To be in a fat men's club was a status symbol. It was exclusive -- "membership was generally only open to men who weighed 200 pounds or more, which was about as close as one got to a working definition of 'fat' in this period," Segrave describes in the book -- and it gave you access to some of the most influential men in your community.

According to Segrave, an 1870s-era roster of the Fat Men's Association of New York members included the Superintendent of the Brooklyn Water Works, the Inspector of Sewers, the Keeper of the Kings County Penitentiary, lawyers, contractors and NYPD sergeants and captains. 

What did one do in a fat man's club?

You ate, basically -- a lot. At an August 1884 clambake held by the New York Fat Men's Association, for example, its president Philetus Dorion reportedly gained 8 pounds from just that dinner (it's worth noting that Dorian was described by a journalist as "huge [and] ponderous ... the most hardened lean man cannot gaze upon his magnificent proportions without unconsciously made purer and holier," Segraves writes).

They were popular because, for members, it was essentially a huge party.

And they were enjoyed by everybody else because, well, people liked to gawk at them. 

In her history of The New England Fat Men's Club, Polly Tafrate describes that the town enjoyed the annual parties as much as the members:

"Townspeople looked forward to the summer meetings. Children would gather at the railroad station as guests arrived. They enjoyed watching the oversized members walking the streets, exchanging their secret hand clasp and listening for the secret password. As told in 'The History of Newbury,' one rainy day a young boy remarked to his friend, 'Gee, look at that stomach! Let’s get under it and keep out of the rain!'"

Being fat started to fall out of favor in around the roaring '20s, when obesity was a rising problem (and not just a privilege reserved for the wealthy), and when the medical community began to understand its negative health effects. But at least for a little while during the fin de siècle, it was a fat man's world.
