According to an article in the Daily Beast, Talley says, “She has dashed so many on a frayed and tattered heap during her powerful rule…I have huge emotional and psychological scars from my relationship with this towering and influential woman.”

Wintour’s friendship foibles over the years include replacing Talley with 24-year-old YouTuber Liza Koshy as the Met Gala Red Carpet correspondent, unceremoniously canceling his podcast, and neglecting to wish him Happy Birthday. He writes, “Anna is so powerful and busy; she simply put me out of her existence. Now she treats me as a former employee, brief greetings, never anything more than perfunctory salutations.”
Well, they never said the Angel Wears Prada…
Sounds like this memoir is going to be Juicy!

So I was a little late watching the latest episode of Insecure, but you guys were right on time with your wardrobe requests! So, I tapped the show’s costume designer extraordinaire Shiona Turini for the deets on all the looks you loved from the 2nd episode of Insecure’s 4th season:
HBO
@Gagirlee writes, “Do you have any details from the looks on Insecure last night, especially Molly’s lime dress and green suit?” Molly looked fly for date night in a lime Dion Lee dress, and hit the office in a suit from Off White’s Resort 2020 collection:

@ NialaCharles was up next with a wardrobe question! She wrote, “I need these shoes I saw on Insecure. Can you please find them?”
Condola has such great style, doesn’t she? And her hair is always on point! Anywho, her shoes are two tone patent leather boots by Christian Louboutin.
Many of you wanted details on Issa’s mixed plaid skirt as well! She is wearing Dries Van Noten:
They are both currently sold out! Get Condola’s boots for less with these options from Nasty Gal. Get a plaid Dries van Noten skirt for a steal here.
For the girls meeting…
Condola was in a Monse suit and an Hermes bag, Issa was in Nanushka, and Molly looked bomb in blue Sally LaPointe:

Lastly, for Self Care Sunday, the ladies still stayed!
Issa fought with a gnat (this was hilarious) in a KKCO set with matching socks and Nike sneaks; Molly rocked a Fendi set with Reebok sneakers :
That does it for now! What other looks intrigued you from the show? What do you think of the fashion? Shop a few items below:
What do you think of Insecure Season 4 thus far?
*A few of you asked about the neon sandals Issa wore in the scene below, and on promotional materials:
A white mesh thigh-high boot with spring perfect white daisy floral design embroidery, finished with a peep toe by shoe designer extraordinaire, Stuart Weitzman. Pair them with some denim shorts and white tee for a cool casual look. Or rock them with your fav mini skirt or dress for a more dressed up, lunch-date look. Either way, make sure you match these beauties with simple pieces to really let the boots do the talking.
The boots are named Venette and comes with a $795 price tag, currently for $477 in the sale on StuartWeitzman.com.
There may only be a few sizes left in the sale but there are more sizes available in black, in both thigh-high and ankle length ($550) named Vanna.
Beyonce looked pretty for an appearance on Global Citizen’s One World Together at Home Concert wearing a popping red lip and a $325 Sabrina Chain Detail hat by Eugenia Kim:
The cap comes in black and hunter green color ways.
Bey’s black wool felt version is sold out, but you can get the hat in summery fabrics here.
