Last week, Sports Illustrated unveiled its 2021 Swimsuit covers which included inspirational female figures Megan Thee Stallion, Naomi Osaka, and Leyna Bloom. To commemorate the 2021 release of their famous Swimsuit issue, Sports Illustrated held a launch party at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida. Of course, the magazine’s covers stars Leyna Bloom and Megan Thee Stallion were in attendance with Megan showing off her figure in a shimmering dress on the red carpet and a black studded ensemble while performing at the party.
Megan Thee Stallion wore a custom dress by Natalia Fedner, styled Zerina Akers. Designed completely by hand, the custom gown appeared in a crystal and chainmail design, consisting of over 1800 feet of silver chain. The dress also featured a standout side opening held together by embellished chains where 40 feet of Swarovski crystals were used. More crystals from Swarovski were also used on Megan’s Dolce and Gabbana silver heeled sandals for the added chain component. Her look also featured a custom silver chain thong which can slightly seen underneath her dress.
Megan Thee Stallion opted for a knotted messy bun with spiraling baby hairs, executed by Kellon Deryck. She also went with soft glam for her makeup look.
Megan later performed at the launch party in a custom look by Rey Ortiz, also styled by Zerina Akers. Perfectly fit for the hot girl, her look included a cutout ribbed knit and mesh top, hot pants, and thigh-high chap boots, all of which were adorned in gold studs. While performing, she ditched her messy knotted bun for a high curly ponytail.
You ask, we answer! @wowinginsexiness says, “Can you tell me where Cardi shorts are from?” @shaylerrichmond adds, “Hey, what are the detes on Offset’s bag?” @_kurby types, “Shoe details please.” @msblackeducated types, “Can you please find out who makes Cardi and Offsets shorts?”
Cardi B and Offset went shopping in Fairfax wearing causal coordinating looks from Gallery Department along with matching Hermès Birkin camouflage handbags with Offset carrying a slightly larger size. The two were outfitted in matching cut-off camo shorts from Gallery Department which are sold out, but available in a size 33 for $2,656 on Grailed. Cardi B wore the camo shorts with a $565 Quantum Tee from Gallery Department paired with $7,500 Bottega Veneta Coil sandals (unavailable), a purple velvet-look bucket hat, oversized gold hoop earrings, and rhinestone sunglasses. Offset opted for Gallery Department’s orange French Collector Long Sleeve Tee (sold out) accessorized with $65 Clean Socks from the brand (sold out), an orange trucker hat, and Nike Air Force 1 Low “Orange Skeleton” sneakers (ranging between $140 and $157 via resale markets like StockX, Flight Club, and Stadium Goods).
As they stopped in a store, the two snagged a quick mirror selfie where Cardi B swapped her rhinestone sunnies for a pair Jimmy Choo “Zelma” sunglasses.
Many celebrities including the Migos, the rap trio which includes Offset, are huge fans of Gallery Department. In fact, the hip hop group recently collaborated with Gallery Department for a collection surrounding the release of their fourth studio album, Culture III. The now sold-out collection included t-shirts, trousers, hats, hoodies, and an autographed and regular digital copy of the album.
Her sunglasses are characterized by a distinctive rectangular silhouette and bold, chunky lines. Refined acetate layers glued to the side trim on the frame front and geometric temples create contemporary, elegant allure.
Her dress has a round neck, flared sleeves, and a leopard printed lining.

Traveling in the post-pandemic period can be harsh: vaccination, PCR tests, and many other things we have to consider before traveling. Besides that, we have to keep in mind the dangers of the sun, bites, and many more. The main thing is to remember and observe safety rules and adjust the usual composition of a travel cosmetic bag.
COVID-19 Protection
Quarantine measures have not been finally lifted in many countries, which means that collecting a suitcase must be revised. The first and most obvious change: health is beauty. Therefore, antiseptic, protective masks and gloves must lie between the sunblock and the nude lipstick. It is better to take several antiseptics: leave one in the room, and always carry the second with you. Reusable face masks are a tolerable replacement for a bunch of disposable masks, and they are also better to take with a margin: to have time to disinfect and change every two to three hours.
The principle “we will figure it out and buy it on the spot” will not work. The top way to stop the spread of the virus is to avoid crowding, and you should not rush out to the store for wet wipes if you can take them with you. The ideal option is to collect all the products or order in advance what you need.
What to Put in the Cosmetic Bag
Multifunctional Products
Leave-in micellar water can be used to cleanse and tone the skin. A long-lasting black pencil will work for both a smokey and a modest day hand. A creamy blush will work as a shadow and as lipstick.
Mini Bottles
There is no point in lugging a bottle of shampoo on a week-long trip. You can purchase a travel format to throw away used packaging and free up space. You can use mini-bottles for the cosmetics running out, but keep in mind that full-size packages will take up more space on the way.
Easy to Use Products
You probably won’t want to fiddle with an alginate mask after a long walk. Imagine if the new formula also causes allergies. That is why proven items should settle in a cosmetic bag.
“Am I Going to Use That?”
Ask yourself this question three times not to get a palette of thirty-five colors into a quiet mountain village on vacation in a sanatorium. You will not use it.
Skincare Products to Take on Vacation
Cleansing
Micellar water and makeup remover wipes are enough for a short trip. You can take with you a foam for washing or gel for an extended vacation.
Moisturizing and nourishing
You can’t do it without at least one nourishing cream on your trip. Take a couple of soothing masks if your skin does not tolerate moving. You can grab a bunch of cloth masks. Hydrogel patches will not interfere with the flight – they will relieve swelling. Do not forget about Hyaluronic acid to keep the skin hydrated and hand cream. Lotions, tonics, essences – take them according to your wishes and needs.
Protection
SPF is necessary not only at sea but also in snow-capped mountains or southern cities. Another helpful comrade is a nourishing lip balm: you can take tinting and kill two birds with one stone.
Personal hygiene
This shortlist of personal hygiene items will save you anywhere: shower gel and shampoo, balm and leave-in spray, soap, deodorant, individual hygiene product, comb, toothpaste, wet wipes.
Makeup
The products of this section depend entirely on your makeup habits. You can also add perfume, jewelry, a set of hairpins, and rubber bands.
Wrap Up
It is possible to travel with pleasure in the post-COVID-19 epoch, pick the products we have mentioned and go on the best vacation in your life. Don’t forget to put the SPF in your cosmetic bag!
Summer is here. And that means that it’s time to switch up hairstyles and pick up trends of the season that would let your hair take a breather from the humidity and sweaty mess. The best hairstyle that would suit a hot and humid day is a cute or unique updo. And fortunately, they are in trend these days, and there are several ways you can go about tying your hair in a ponytail.
Rocking a ponytail can be hard sometimes. Not every ponytail style suits everyone and is easy to wear. Moreover, one thing that ponytails require is the volume that not every hair type is able to produce. For this reason, clipping in some hair extensions can be a better and more stylish measure. So here are some promising hairstyles with clip-in ponytails and bangs: a match that goes well together:
High Pony Tail with a Fringe
High and flowing ponytails are a trend that will always stay in fashion or keep coming back. And thankfully, they are in season this year. A high ponytail looks excellent with a decent fringe in the front. It depends on you how you want the rim to be, but curtain fringes parted in the middle would look great this summer. You can add as much volume as you require and length too by choosing the right toned clip-in ponytail for your hair.
Braided Ponytail with Side Fringe
Braids are versatile and look good on almost any occasion. However, it’s best to have some extensions in for creating voluminous braids in your hair that make the best look. A side fringe would pair best with braided hair and be a great addition to the whole fairytale look. As for the braid, you can create your own look and experiment as much as you like with braids on different sides of your hair to find the best suitable look.
Two Tails and Volume Bangs
Unlike the previously mentioned ponytails, mastering a two-tail can be tricky. No matter how pro you are, you will have to take the hairstyle off many times and get it made again to perfect the look. However, once perfected, there won’t be an image that looks better. You can go with no bangs at all for creating a cute yet bold two tails hairstyle or add a set of voluminous clip-on bangs that would go well.
Low Ponytail with Choppy Bangs
Low ponytails don’t have to look dull. They can help you rock an elegant yet sexy look easily if styled well. A low ponytail can be created by tying hair loosely at the bottom to make a prom-like hairstyle or arranged in a messy look that looks cute. You can also rock choppy bangs with a low ponytail to add some excitement to it. Make sure to help the whole style come together naturally, or it could get out of place. Use a cute hair accessory to tie the hair together at the bottom.
