If Spring/Summer 2022 fashion weeks have made anything clear, it’s that the cutouts and racy straps have solidified themselves as a trend that is here to stay. These styles have made their way from street to multiple runways, and celebrities are strongly embracing indie brands and designer labels like Rui, Nensi Dojaka, Hyein Seo, Ottolinger, Dion Lee, Eckhaus Latta and Louisa Ballou who consistently bring these body-positive, edgy fashions to the runway. It may seem risqué at first, but you can pull off the look too! Here’s how…

Mesh

Who says you have to let it all show at once? Ease into the cutout trend by layering your strappy piece with a sheer item for just a little extra coverage. Same affect, different feel! We’re taking notes from Dua Lipa in her Nensi Dojaka ensemble:

Neutrals

Give the illusion of a second skin by shopping beige, tan and brown hues for your cutout pieces. It’s effortless and highly stylish at the same time, a win-win for everyone. Do it like Draya Michele in Dion Lee:

Get the look: $290 Dion Lee Lustrate Fork Crop Top

Cutout Bottoms

Style your fit with something unexpected by wearing strappy cutout pants or, like RiRi, a skirt! Another easy way to introduce the trend into your wardrobe while keeping it simple yet fresh:

Similar style: $650 Dion Lee cutout mini skirt

Cutout Blazer/Button Shirt

Keep it classy yet interesting for those dressed-up occasions with a cutout blazer or button-up shirt. Ciara went all out in this full Mugler cutout blazer and illusion mesh panel pant:

Paris Fashion Week has been nothing shy of exciting. In the latest highlight of the iconic fashion week, Balenciaga took an unconventional route when it came to its Spring/Summer 2022 show.

Models mixed with celebrities flooded the red carpet which was also posed as the runway for the latest collection. An excited crowd of fans and photographers could be heard as models strutted the carpet and posed in the Summer 2022 pieces that were indeed red-carpet and street-style ready. Essentially, guests were modeling all the while participating in the traditional Hollywood-style occasion. Figures like Lewis Hamilton, Offset, Elliot Page, Amber Valletta, and more were amongst the models for show.

Other familiar faces were attendance including Cardi B and her stylist Kollin Carter, Michele Lamy, and Naomi Campbell.

Pushing boundaries by combining fashion and pop cultural entertainment, the Summer 2022 presentation included a screening of a special collaborative episode between Balenciaga and animated comedy show The Simpsons, a show creative director Demna Gvasalia has always loved. The 10-minute viewing takes place during Marge Simpson’s birthday of which Homer Simpson requested a Balenciaga gown to fulfill her longtime wish of having a piece from brand. The gesture influenced an animated Gvasalia to include everyday people from the city of Springfield to be in his next show in Paris, which the Simpson family models in. The exclusive episode includes many humorous references such as Kim Kardashian and Kanye West in the front row wearing their 2020 Halloween costumes, Anna Wintour shedding a tear that is reserved for a perfume bottle of “Wintour No. 9”, and jokes surrounding Balenciaga’s prices and the pronunciation of the brand’s name. There are also appearances of pieces from past Balenciaga collections shown in the visual as well.

The 64-piece collection continues the Balenciaga aesthetic of reimagined ready-to-wear with silhouettes that either cling to the body or drape slightly off due its super oversized nature. While the color palette was overall muted, pops of pinks and blues matched with shimmering silver foil-like material and vibrant prints like polka dots made for standout details. Also, accessories definitely made themselves seen and known as the brand introduced new and reinterpreted footwear, eyewear, handbags, and jewelry. Not to mention, a new metal-studded platform Balenciaga x Crocs shoe made its way down the red carpet-runway as apart of their ongoing collaboration.

Balenciaga’s Summer 2022 collection not only offered a playful take on fashion, but it showed that the brand truly cannot be placed in a box when it comes to the actual pieces and even presentations.

Ciara recently announced her latest business partnership where she became co-owner, investor, and director rum brand known as Ten To One Rum.

You ask, we answer! Many of you requested details on Joie Chavis’s recent look. @clairemoniquexx says, “Hi can you help finding Joies shirt and shoes 😍” @jaylalove adds, “Heyyy do you know where this top is from?”

Joie Chavis continued her birthday festivities as the model was spotted enjoying a night out with friends! As a fashionista to watch, she stepped out in a head-turning look, of course. She wore a $1,990 Mugler oversized shoulder open back poplin top and denim shorts. She paired the ensemble with $1,390 Bottega Veneta wire stretch sandals, vintage 1990s Versace chain frame sunglasses, and a Chanel crystal and silver-tone metal mini flap bag.

It is no secret that her Mugler structural white top is the star piece of this look. The $1,990 top serves a fresh take on the classic button shirt with updates including a sexy open back with a tie detail and dramatically broadened shoulders. Pairing this shirt with your favorite denim bottoms, like Chavis, will surely give you a significant yet casual look for an outing.

Would you splurge on her top for your birthday?

You Ask, We Answer! @luv2beavirgo says, “Can you get the details on this jumpsuit?” and @k_mack07adds, “Hi, can you tell us what Tia is wearing here?”

While attending Variety‘s 2021 Women of Power event in LA, Tia Mowry rocked a black leather look which included the $250 Donna Karan Signature Twist Faux-Leather Blouse in black and $295 Alice and Olivia “Shelby” high waist vegan leather pants, styled by Judy Kaufman. She paired the look with Jennifer Fisher’s $500 4″ Lily Hoops and a pair of Gianvito Rossi PVC strap sandals.

The special thing about Tia Mowry’s look is that it gives off the impression of a jumpsuit while it is actually two separate pieces. The Donna Karan signature twist faux-leather blouse is currently sold out in black, but it is available in a cream-toned color known as Palomino. You can still get Tia’s look with the same exact Alice and Olivia trousers by going with the almond colorway instead.

Cardi B is truly owning this year’s Paris Fashion Week as she keeps delivering stunning looks during her visit. Continuing her style takeover, the rapper stepped out in the Parisian streets in more new looks.

Cardi B was spotted in another Schiaparelli look, once again from the brand’s Fall/Winter 2021 RTW collection. She was spied in the Measuring Tape Coat paired with the maison’s Padlock Drop Earrings. She wore the double-breasted viscose cady coat as a dress, opting for a black bodysuit underneath the garment. She finished the look with $150 Elisa Johnson “Lyric Leigh” sunglasses in white (gold pair pictured below), black sheer stockings, and a pair of $745 Christian Louboutin So Kate black suede pumps. Upon her head, she sported a Dior black leather beret, tapping into her inner Parisian style (get a similar look with Dior’s $1,050 D-Dream Beret).

For her second ensemble, Cardi B caused a stir (a good stylish stir, that is) as she was spotted in the streets wearing a Richard Quinn Spring 2022 spiked and studded leather coat. She paired the look with other edgy pieces including $695 JAUPIN “Iris” sunglasses (coming soon), D’heygere belt, Chrome Hearts leather baker boy hat, Rick Owens platform thigh-high boots, and By Lolita jewelry from their black jewelry collection.

Cardi B went to a romantic dinner with Offset overlooking the Eiffel Tower. For the love-filled evening, she wore a $9,450 Chanel Pre-Fall 2020 glitter jumpsuit paired with a $200 Ruslan Baginskiy khaki cotton beret and $745 Louboutin So Kate black suede pumps. She also rocked By Lolita jewelry from their black collection.

Cardi B was spotted leaving the Schiaparelli store in Paris, delivering a blossoming green look. She wore a Richard Quinn Spring 2022 ensemble coordinated with $510 Bottega Veneta sporty oval sunglasses in green. Her Richard Quinn look sparked some conversations on social media as fans compared the look to Will Smith’s sunflower costume on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

Cardi B attended the Messika fashion show wearing another monochromatic look by Richard Quinn. This time, the rapper opted for the purple pleated look from the Spring 2022 collection. Joining her look’s lavender aesthetic, she wore a purple headband, $510 Bottega Veneta oval sunglasses in lilac and Messika High Jewelry Sea King necklace.
