Lena Dunham is a woman of many talents, accolades, and now hairstyles.

We’d come to associate the “Girls” girl with a signature short ‘do, so we were completely thrown off by the edgy long ombrè look she rocked Wednesday night, just days ahead of her show’s final season premiere on Feb. 12.

Another shift from what we’re used to seeing: Dunham wore a super fashionable high-waisted skirt paired with a crop top. If you think the whole look was working for her, apparently you’re not alone. 

Dunham posted an Instagram photo with co-stars Allison Williams, Zosia Mamet and Jemima Kirke, writing that Kirke told her she “looked cool for the first time in like 17 years. Win!”

We’re not sure we agree it’s Dunham’s only cool look in over a decade, but we have to at least affirm that she looks great.

Just a heads-up: your hair has super strength.

Research tells us that a single strand of hair can hold approximately three ounces in weight. That may not seem like much, but take a look at the video above ― you’ll see that one hair can withstand the weight of over a dozen pennies without breaking.

If one hair can hold that much weight, how much can all the hair on your head hold? The answer is staggering. One head of hair can hold up to 12 tons, or the weight of two elephants. 

So what makes your hair so freakishly strong?

Human hair is made of keratin, a powerful structural protein found in horse hooves, animal claws, and our outer layer of skin. Keratin’s cross-linking nature allows for hair’s unbelievable tensile strength, i.e. the force required to pull something like rope or wire to the point where it breaks. 

Your hair is naturally tough, but there are certain behaviors that can weaken its tensile strength. Your hair can become dry and brittle if you don’t ingest enough vitamins or protein. Moisture and temperature can also have an effect on your hair’s texture.

So if you want your hair to be Connie Britton-level flawless, eat plenty of protein, protect your hair from sun damage and get trims every six to eight weeks. Your hair will be Rapunzel-ready in no time.

At this point, we’re used to Pamela Anderson baring it all. Just not when it comes to her face.

That’s apparently changing, though. The 49-year-old attended a gala in Paris on Jan. 27, looking absolutely fresh-faced and stunning in light, minimal makeup and soft hair pulled back from her face. 

Anderson’s face wasn’t the only one worth noting: She wore a strapless gown with a full skirt that was adorned with a bevy of interesting faces, too. 

The look is a stark departure from her typical heavier makeup, as shown in this photo taken a year ago in February 2016.

Keep doing what you’re doing, Pam.

Before we get into this, make sure to check on the Beyoncé fan in your life to see if he or she is still breathing because their world has just been stopped ... again. 

A day after breaking the internet (and Selena Gomez’s record for most liked Instagram photo ever) by announcing she and husband Jay Z are expecting twins, Beyoncé truly out-Beyoncéd herself by dropping an entire pregnancy photo album.

The album titled “I Have Three Hearts” appeared on her website Thursday alongside a a poem written by Somali-British poet Warsan Shire, whose work was featured on “Lemonade.” 

The photos show a pregnant Bey in a variety of different poses and outfits, but a cluster are thematically linked to her original announcement i.e. lingerie, an insane floral budget and major Virgin Mary vibes. 

In one new pic, Beyoncé is perched on top of a broke-down car filled with flowers, while her her arms and legs are also covered with flower tattoo sleeves. She is backdropped by a fake blue sky with clouds because this is her album and she can do whatever she wants. 

Another series of photos feature a more stripped-down Bey, with the singer posing sans clothing, giving us a serious Demi Moore in Vanity Fair moment. Other black-and-white photos show Beyoncé nearly nude except for (you guessed it) flowers and a soaked white dress. 

Bey ditches the flowers for some underwater time in a different group of photos and clips (!) with the “Hold Up” singer donning the same color of yellow fabric she made famous in “Lemonade.” Bey served us some similar moments on her sixth album, where she was completely submerged underwater in a bedroom duing the second chapter titled “Denial.”

And last but certainly not least, Blue Ivy makes an appearance in some adorable mother-daughter photos, because this album is a family affair. In one pic, Blue cuddles up to mom, while the two lounge on a recliner. The 5-year-old also kisses Beyoncé’s belly in another photo while holding a fistful of pink and white roses.

Still breathing? Carry on.

For Vogue, by LIANA SATENSTEIN AND ANNY CHOI.

If there is any season when a dress is truly fit for a princess, it is, of course, couture. And though many of these fantastical creations do end up on actual royalty, the regal gowns on the runway also bear a striking resemblance to the stars of our animated dreams: Disney heroines and princesses. The puffed and embellished shoulders of a gown from Ulyana Sergeenko would be perfect for The Little Mermaid’s Ariel, while Giambattista Valli’s canary yellow number was a spitting image of Beauty and the Beast’s Belle’s magical dress. At Guo Pei, the rounded sleeves on one magical piece were reminiscent of Rapunzel, and Viktor & Rolf’s upcycled confection was just right for a modern-day Snow White.

After all, who says cartoon characters can’t wear couture? Iris van Herpen’s crystalized creation was a perfect match for Frozen’s Elsa, while Elena of Avalor could have easily slipped into a ruffled pink dress courtesy of Valentino, and the nymphlike dress at Christian Dior was a stellar reinterpretation of Princess Tiana’s petal-tiered gown. Let the fairy tales come to life.

Here, see the best gowns of Paris Couture Week fit for a Disney princess.

The epic Versace gown-sized hole left by Michelle Obama at the White House still stings like a fresh wound. It makes the following revelation about said gown all the more incredible and devastating.

In a new interview with W Magazine, Donatella Versace was asked who picked out the unforgettable, unexpectedly fabulous chain mail gown Obama wore to break both the internet and our hearts at her last state dinner. 

“She did,” Versace replied. “She is a woman who knows what she wants. The speeches she made during Hillary’s campaign should be written down—they make up a philosophy of life. If she ever ran for president she would win. We are all in mourning about the American election; it preyed upon people’s phobias. But we should continue to go ahead as far as possible, with all the women in the world.”

We’ll raise a rose gold glass to that, Donatella!

The designer is one of W’s March cover stars, starring alongside Taraji P. Henson, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Chastain, and Kate Moss. The issue honors powerful women, making the mention of our former first lady all the more appropriate.

If you've spent even a second on Pinterest, you've been inundated with minimalist-home fever dreams. Blank white walls, exposed shelving, "capsule" wardrobes. Our lives have been Marie Kondo-ed to the extreme. But what if you toss an item and completely regret it? Before you tackle any spring cleaning, protect these seven pieces.

Related: 5 Secrets of Women with Perfectly Organized Closets

1. That dress that makes you feel like a million bucks. We’re not talking about your Homecoming gown from 1994; we’re talking about your class reunion number from 2014 that you can bust out anytime you need an ego boost.

2. The leather jacket that makes you feel like a badass. You don’t have to be a moto chick 365 days a year. But that one day you do want a little edge, you’re ready.

3. Your first grown-up handbag. You saved and saved and saved for that Kate Spade satchel. The empowering memory alone deserves a spot on the shelf, however high up.

4. Any family heirloom jewelry. Even if it’s not your style, don’t donate Aunt Daisy’s pearls (real or costume). One day your daughter will obsess over them.

Even if it's not your style, don't donate Aunt Daisy's pearls (real or costume). One day your daughter will obsess over them.

5. Those themed t-shirts from your college years. Band merch, sorority functions, anything with an illustrated graphic. You don’t have to save all of them, but edit down a solid collection. Again, your kids will live in them.

6. Your appallingly worn-out Chucks. Those low-tops have seen everything. Stash them in the back of your rack. They’ll keep you honest.

7. Your appallingly cheesy travel haul. Have you ever had an occasion for that turtle-motif muumuu? Not likely. Does it flood you with piña-colada-soaked memories of your bachelorette weekend every time you reach for a swimsuit? Worth it.

February is full of so many fun events like Valentine’s Day, the Super Bowl and the start of tax season. OK, maybe not that last one, but the good news is that now’s the time to save big on all of the above — and then some. Here, eight items that will be heavily discounted this month.

Related: 10 Expensive Things That Cost a lot Less in January

MATTRESSES

All hail Presidents’ Day weekend sales. Rumor has it the discounts are tied to the fact that our founding fathers — specifically, George and Abe — were actually lousy sleepers. It doesn’t hurt that it’s a three-day weekend and stores are looking to clear room for new spring merch. (Two reasons that are more plausible if you ask us.) Regardless, you can expect to see major markdowns to the tune of 25 to 30 percent.

JEWELRY

Cue the Valentine’s Day promotions. Sure, you’ll probably see price cuts leading up to the Hallmark romance-inspired holiday, but if you can hold out until after February 14 to buy a piece of bling, you’ll probably see even bigger savings. (Sometimes as much as 60 percent off.)

TAX SOFTWARE

Financial planners will remind you: Do not — we repeat — do not wait until the last minute (ahem, April) to start organizing your receipts. An incentive for getting an early start? Tax software like that offered by TurboTax and H&R Block typically gets marked down 10 to 15 percent for early birds. (Just be sure to price compare online retailers for savings.)

Related: 7 Tax Deductions You Didn’t Know You Could Take

HDTVS

You can thank the Super Bowl for this one. Retailers know that the beginning of February is the perfect time to drop the price of HDTVs. You could see savings of as much as 40 to 50 percent leading up to February 5. And if you can hold out until after the big game, the discounts will probably increase to 60 percent. (Hey, all the new models were just revealed at the Consumer Electronics Show in January — stores have to make room.)

SWEATERS

Wool? Cashmere? Nah, retailers know that at this point in the season, your thoughts are on spring. That’s why you can expect to see heavy discounts — as much as 40 to 50 percent off — on cold-weather attire as stores try to clear away winter merch.

...PUFFER COATS

Same deal as the sweaters. Who cares about a dowdy puffer jacket at this point when you could invest in a cute — and spring-ready — trench? Cue the sales.

Related: How to Wear a Puffer Coat (Without Looking Like a Marshmallow)

AIR CONDITIONERS

When it’s below zero, no one is thinking about whether or not they’re prepared for a summer heat wave. Simultaneously, your local appliance store needs to make room for cold-weather equipment like snow blowers and shovels. Browse stores (or search online)  to see what discounts and deals you can find. Even 10 to 15 percent off can add up.

A CRUISE AROUND EUROPE

For regular cruisers, February marks something called “wave season” — a time when passengers are eager to book peak-season trips. That’s why you should be on the lookout for major promotions — not just two-for-one deals, but special cabin upgrades and credits for shopping and food.

Activist, style icon and intern Malia Obama started working in New York City this week, and boy, do we wish the dress code was this laid back in our own internship days. 

The 18-year-old looked super casual and super cute as she arrived at her gig working for Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein in a crop top, belted high-waisted jeans, lace-up boots and a big shearling coat. 

If the coat looks familiar, perhaps it’s because it looks an awful like the coat she was spotted wearing while protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline last week.

We have to hand it to Malia for making mom jeans look this cute. Just think how proud her backwards hat-wearing fellow normcore enthusiast Barack Obama must be right about now. 

Sigh. Though mom jeans have been trendy for a bit, they can be a bit tricky. Our advice is to avoid pleats at all costs, and take some inspiration from Malia and these other style stars, perhaps in one of the pairs below?

At first it seemed like a normal neighborhood restaurant. The Mexican Festival on 102nd and Broadway in Manhattan is colorful, crowded and noisy. It was Friday about 10:45pm and the customers who were finishing up their dinners were talking - even yelling - over the live mariachi band. I took a seat at the bar, which was a little quieter and darker than the main dining room.

At around 11, the mariachi stopped. I wondered why the bar seemed to be getting more crowded instead of less. A man sat down and opened a small upright piano, which I hadn't even noticed was there. A young woman handed him sheet music, and he began to play. She opened her mouth and began--dramatically, beautifully, caressingly--to sing a German aria (I believe it was a Schubert leid, the last thing I expected to hear in this venue).

Welcome to opera night at Mexican Festival, where in the midst of lively bar chatter which only seems to diminish a little for the performers, classical singers get up to sing their hearts out, one after the other--sometimes alone, other times as a duet or trio. Many seem to be students. Some are dressed up in sparkles, and some are in sweats or jeans and you would never expect what was about to come out of their mouths.

A few of the singers seemed nervous as they walked up to the piano and plopped down their music, but that vanished with their first intake of breath. They knew they were good. Besides Mexican tenor Juan del Bosco, who moves his audience with an amazing combination of verve and sweetness, I was delighted by a powerful tenor named Lindell Carter as well as an artful soprano, Heather Bobeck. When Bobeck sang "Sempre Libera" from La Traviata, all the singers boisterously sang the responses from wherever they happened to be sitting around the room, including the man sitting next to me at the bar. I admit, it startled me at first. Later, one plaid-clad mezzo, deep into her role, flirted her way down the room as she sang "The Habanera." Hardly anyone seemed to be listening, but of course I was wrong: A dozen people belted out "Prends garde à toi!" exactly on cue--then went back to their drinks.

Being at Mexican Festival on Friday nights is a bit like being on the set of an opera--as if you are one of the extras on stage who happens not to be singing--or like being at an opera cast party. It's Cheers for opera lovers. Juilliard with a shot of tequila. There is an extraordinary sense of camaraderie. The place oozes good spirit, encouragement, and fun. Naturally, one of the songs that inevitably gets performed is "Toreador" from Carmen. Even the non-singers will join in on that one.

To me what makes this such a unique phenomenon is the combination of casual atmosphere and formally-trained voices. A lot of people seem to be just hanging out, talking to their friends while the singers are performing. Until your senses become adjusted, it seems oxymoronic to be listening to such proficient opera singers in this dark Mexican restaurant on Broadway and 102nd St. at midnight.

It all began one day when the aforementioned Juan del Bosco happened to stop by the restaurant and discovered they had mariachi. In Mexico in the early decades of the 20th century, mariachi was actually sung by operatic tenors. So it was natural for Juan to ask if he might sing occasionally with the band at Mexican Festival. He soon got to know the restaurant's two owners, Tony Carcamo and Jaime Lucero, and he started inviting friends to come there to hang out - they were mostly singers, dancers and musicians.

Then one night Juan said to Tony,

"What if we do opera night here?"

Tony said, "What do you need?"

"Just a piano."

And so Tony bought a piano. (You know what they say: Build it and they will come.)

In a city that is choking with tourist traps, chain stores and entertainments that most people can't afford, it feels miraculous to find a pocket of secret musical magic going on in this unexpected corner. I guess it shouldn't surprise anyone, given how many creative people are clustered on this island; indeed three of the best music schools are right here--Juilliard, Mannes and Manhattan School of Music. Still it's amazing to wander off of an almost deserted Broadway into such a treasure trove of talent and musical communing. It's obvious that many of these singers are friends. Whenever I go I always get the impression that I had somehow gotten into a private party - or some sort of relaxed audition scenario I am able to watch because I knew the secret password.

A couple of weeks ago I took some curious friends there for after-dinner drinks. Juan was there to greet us (when he is not singing, he serves as host), as was the ever-charming co-owner, Tony. Only in a small town does one usually experience that "we're-closed-but-who-cares-it's-just-us" feeling. In fact, it struck me that there is no sense of Diva behavior here; everyone supports each other, there is no visible competitiveness. One of the reasons for this might be that no one is paid to perform - except the pianist. (According to Juan there are three or four different pianists, who rotate depending on which one is free that night). And just to make it even more appealing, every once in a while, a opera superstar will perform there, such as the renowned Javier Camarena, who sang there last March, on his birthday.

I love opera, so I'm in heaven on these Friday nights. But a part of me wishes I could have experienced the karaoke hour that reportedly used to follow the opera, but which has since been (apparently) usurped by the opera crowd. To have been taken on the strange odyssey from Mariachi to Madame Butterfly to "Mack the Knife" all in one night would certainly have been one for the books. And then who knows, by 2am I might have taken the stage myself. (www.JeanneMartinet.com)

There has been no shortage of tributes to President Obama and first lady Michelle in the months since the 2016 election. But none have been quite as cool as this clothing collection by designer Joe Freshgoods, which launched on January 20. 

If you, like us, missed the first release of “Thank You Obama,” a collection of T-shirts, posters and sweatshirts all dedicated to the Obama family, all of that changed when Chance the Rapper tweeted photos of himself wearing the restocked goods on Thursday. 

“I’m a model now. #ThankUObama droppin in like 15 minutes. ThankUObama.us,” he captioned the group of images. He’s seen wearing a T-shirt featuring Obama in a crown, an airbrushed “Barack and Michelle wedding T-shirt” that looks like it came from the coolest amusement part of all time and oh, right ...

A T-shirt that has the name Malia emblazoned across it.  Said T-shirt, called “a message to Malia,” also says, “We all smoke, it’s OK.” The design and color appear to be an homage to Harvard, where Malia will study after a gap year.

On the Thank You Obama website, Freshgoods explained the inspiration for this extremely important project. “The night Obama won his first term gave me so much hope, especially and most importantly as a black man. I decided to make a collection saying ‘thank you’ and give me something to smile at every now and then when i look in the closet,” he wrote. 

According to Casual Fridays, the line sold out quickly when it first dropped, and this restock is already on a 1- to 2-week backorder, so you’d better move fast if you want to score some of this iconic memorabilia. 

Thank you, Chance the Rapper. Thank you, Obama. And thank you, Thank You Obama.

Buzz Aldrin took to the catwalk Tuesday in a New York Fashion Week debut he said was “as easy as walking on the moon.”

The 87-year-old astronaut ― who in 1969 became the second person to walk on the moon ― sported a metallic bomber jacket in designer Nick Graham’s show, aptly titled “Life on Mars.”

Aldrin couldn’t have looked cuter in his pants, sneakers and self-designed “Get your ass to Mars” shirt. Only the show’s finale tripped him up: “I wasn’t sure what side (of the runway) to get on,” he told the Los Angeles Times, adding, “I’m always calculating time and distance.”

We’re majorly impressed: 

Graham is apparently a huge fan of outer space. He invited Bill Nye to narrate the show and close with a walk of his own. Then the trio struck an alien pose for good measure:

Now THAT is some out-of-this-world style. Great job, guys!

 Nordstrom confirmed Thursday that after years of selling Ivanka Trump products, it will not continue carrying the brand “this season.” Trump-branded items have already been removed from the store’s website. 

The line simply isn’t performing well, the retailer said in a statement: 

We’ve said all along we make buying decisions based on performance. We’ve got thousands of brands – more than 2,000 offered on the site alone. Reviewing their merit and making edits is part of the regular rhythm of our business. Each year we cut about 10 percent and refresh our assortment with about the same amount. In this case, based on the brand’s performance we’ve decided not to buy it for this season.

Organizers behind the #GrabYourWallet movement are claiming victory. The group, which encourages shoppers to stop doing business with companies that work with the Trump family, went from hashtag to major boycott rather quickly when it launched back in October 2016. 

“You did this,” #GrabYourWallet founder Shannon Coulter tweeted to followers. “I am in awe.” 

Others took to Twitter to commend the power of boycott and to encourage other retailers to follow suit. 

Racked first reported Thursday that Nordstrom appeared to be dropping Trump, noticing by midday that the selection on Nordstrom.com was “down to four items and the Ivanka Trump label is also no longer listed on the list of brands Nordstrom carries.” By end of day, no items came up in a search at all. 

Nordstrom now joins the likes of Uber and Zulily on the #GrabYourWallet’s “dropped from the boycott list” section, though the retailer continued to maintain on social media late into Thursday night that the choice was “not political.” 

Still, we can think of a lot of people who are happy to get back to shopping at the iconic department store now that it has dropped the brand.

The women of “Girls” enjoyed one final season premiere in New York City Thursday night before the sixth season begins Feb. 12. And they did it in style. 

Lena Dunham, Zosia Mamet, Allison Williams and Jemima Kirke arrived in a whirlwind of black, white, and mixed metallics. 

Dunham, who is sporting longer locks these days, wore her hair up in a ponytail with aggressively futuristic pink eye makeup. Williams hid her pants under a gown, Mamet looked adorable in a mini-dress and Kirke rocked white gown with asymmetrical straps. 

There’s no denying it: These girls, like their respective characters, are way more grown up than they were when the series premiered back in 2012.

Need proof? Consider their looks from past season premieres. With the exception of season 5, when Dunham skipped press to deal with her endometriosis, the girls have worn a bevy of beautiful dresses over the years.

According to a recent report from Axios, a new media company created by the co-founder of Politico, President Donald Trump wants the women who work for him to “dress like women.” 

Axios’ Mike Allen and Jonathan Swan spoke to a source who worked on Trump’s campaign who reported that the president is very particular about what his staffers wear. This goes for both women and men. 

“If you’re going to be a public person for him, whether it’s a lawyer or representing him in meetings, then you need to have a certain look,” one source told Axios. “That look ― at least for any male ― you have to be sharply dressed.” 

The source added that Trump really has one simple directive for his female staffers: “dress like women.”

“Even if you’re in jeans, you need to look neat and orderly,” the source said, adding that many women on the campaign trail ― even those in field offices ― “felt pressure” to wear dresses in order to impress Trump. 

Once this report was published on Feb. 2, Twitter ― in its usual fashion ― responded accordingly.  

Twitter users tweeted images of women dressed, well, like women: in a hijab, in a doctor’s gown, in a police uniform, in an astronaut suit, in a military uniform. The list goes on and on. Users posted these photos with the hashtag #DressLikeAWoman.

One Twitter user summed it up perfectly:

It’s almost getting to be that time of year again. Prom season is upon us!

You can save big on your prom dress, without losing one ounce of wow factor.

We’ve compiled 23 stunning prom dresses under $100 that look way more expensive than they are. You’ll walk out of prom with a crown on your head and money in your pocket wearing one of these gorgeous gowns.

The reason Goop doesn’t have a comment section on its website is specifically for articles like this bra-burning story. 

Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle site recently published a piece imploring women to burn their bras. While you might assume the ritual has ties to an anti-Trump movement or mourning for Hillary Clinton, it’s actually about letting go of bad memories from ex-lovers. 

“The lingerie you wore with past lovers can carry the toxic residue of those relationships, along with painful memories,” Suzannah Galland, a life advisor, writes. “While we might not think to trash lingerie that once made us feel so good ― or that we spent a lot of money on ― it’s a powerful, healing gesture to make.” 

Yes, ladies! Go “Marie Kondo” all of your old undergarments and throw away that set of $400 La Perla lingerie you own! (Or in our case, those 5-for-$25 Victoria’s Secret panties.) 

According to Galland, your full-moon fire ritual should go a little something like this: 

1. Find a safe place where you can light a fire. (Why not invite a few close friends to join you, too?)
2. Before you start, you might want to write out a few words, or recite a prayer to help release and forgive.
3. Throw your needs-to-go lingerie into the fire one piece at a time.
4. Watch intently as the pieces burn. Know that your past is recycling into the ethers, liberating your future.

You know what to do, ladies (unless, you know, you’re a real person with real bills you need to pay, and the thought of wasting perfectly good lingerie doesn’t sound like the most sensible decision):

Mariah Carey has brought the cabaret to the gym.

In provocative Instagram images posted Thursday, the singer wore fishnet stockings and stiletto heels to work out.

While we appreciate that the footwear is the sporting brand Puma (Fenty), we’re still not convinced that this passes muster as training gear.

But then again, she is Mariah Carey and we’re not.

Carey on Thursday also released her new song with rapper YG titled “I Don’t,” which is reportedly inspired by her broken engagement with Australian businessman James Packer.

Coincidence? Hmm.
