My elder millennials will remember: Before there was Zendaya to reliably shut down the Met Gala red carpet every year, there was Sarah Jessica Parker. The Sex and the City and And Just Like That star has been attending the Met Gala since 1995, when she wore a dress from a thrift shop and did her own glam for the event. If only that version of SJP could see how she shows up now: in a custom couture gown and headpiece by British designer Richard Quinn, accompanied by an entire lion’s worth of hair…

Here at Allure, we think a lot about nails. The easiest ways to stop biting them; when to pierce them; how to paint them with a giant turkey for Thanksgiving. But as any dermatologist — or manicurist — will tell you, nail health is the most important factor when considering all 20 of your digits, far more than what shade of polish to use. If you’ve noticed discoloration or thickening in your nails, you may be dealing with nail psoriasis, a finger- and toenail-specific offshoot of the chronic inf…

In the early ’80s, Jellies were the shoe of the moment. In the ’90s, the rainbow-colored sandals came back into fashion. And just last year there was yet another resurgence. There’s a pattern of nostalgia here — the same one that’s happened on our nails. Right now, jelly nails — with the same translucent concept as the coveted sandals — are the manicure of spring… once again.
Though soft and sheer pastels aren’t groundbreaking for this season, the way we are wearing the color palette is. “The Y2…

Oscar nominee Danielle Brooks glittered her way down the red carpet on Sunday evening. She wore platinum and diamond jewelry — all of which matched the boning on the corset of her gown — but what really caught our eye was her manicure, which features dozens of crystals that form French tips, and one statement nail studded with the number 26.
Brooks, who is up for a Best Supporting Actress award for her portrayal of Sofia in “The Color Purple,” shared the symbolism behind the number in a red carp…

Barbiecore, Barbie pink, Barbie Botox: For almost a year now, we’ve had to talk about Barbie-inspired fashion and beauty trends until we were pink in the face. No one has dealt (suffered?) this fate more than Barbie herself, Margot Robbie, who has dressed in outfits pulled straight from the body of her character’s plastic namesake and worked pink into more beauty looks than we can count. On Oscar Sunday, the culminating evening in a very long press tour and awards circuit journey for Barbie, Rob…

Chloë Bailey isn’t the kind of artist who opts for a signature beauty look. Almost every time we see the actor-singer, she and her hair stylist Fesa Nu have created a totally unique work of art — and the occasion of the 2024 Grammys is no exception. On Sunday night, Bailey stepped onto the red carpet with a brand new, red hair color. (Not unlike, we should point out, her sister Halle’s shade of Little Mermaid red.) The shade is a golden, burnished copper; it falls somewhere between the red we’ve…

Lana Del Ray is the quintessential mall goth, so it’s no surprise that the singer is perpetually playing with different bang styles. We’ve seen her wear side bangs and we’ve seen her wear curtain bangs, but we’ve never seen her wear bangs that are so long that we’re impressed she can even see from underneath them. She showed up at the 2024 Grammys red carpet with thick, full fringe that reached even past her lashes.
The singer also did her own spin on the hair bow trend that we’ve seen on multip…

As Miley Cyrus’s godmother, Dolly Parton, once said, “The higher the hair, the closer to god.” On the occasion of the 2024 Grammys, Cyrus took that timeless advice to heart. The pop singer, who is nominated for six(!) awards, strode down the red carpet with a sky-high mane of curls that will be housed forevermore under the word “volume” in the dictionary.
Styled by her longtime hairdresser Bob Recine, Cyrus is taking one of the biggest beauty risks we’ve seen on this year’s Grammys red carpet wi…

The award show has been on a long and winding path to redemption, but the Golden Globes red carpet beauty looks are as glam as ever. The production has faced multiple controversies in recent years, including the 2021 revelation that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the former voting body of the awards, had no Black members; allegations of pay-to-play awards for celebrities and movie studios; and an accusation of sexual harassment against former HFPA president Philip Berk.
The Globes may…

There’s a common refrain that tattoo naysayers like to repeat: “Would you still want that design on your body when you’re in the old folks’ home?” The answer is yes. When Gen Z-ers and millennials grow elderly, we’ll be happily dotted with tattoos of tiny tacos, delicately inked rings and bracelets, and hyper-realistic portraits of our furry friends. “People are a lot more in-the-moment and aren’t as concerned about how something will age,” says Ian Haight, a tattoo artist in Portland.

You’re in the midst of a psoriasis flare-up, dealing with red, itchy, scaly skin that often comes with the condition that more than seven million people in the U.S. live with.. You’re worried about whether your dermatologist is still covered by your insurance, and if you should apply makeup to cover the irritation. To put it mildly, it’s not the easiest time to stop, take a breath, and think: “What could have brought this outbreak on?” Meet the Experts Marisa Garshick, MD, is a board-certified…
