Joining the colorful Chance cohort, Splendide’s lilac liquid is both fruity and floral, blending sparkling raspberry with powdery violet.

This is a spring scent if there ever was one.

Summer is coming and if you’re lucky, that might mean travelling to somewhere hot and beachy.

There’s also a new version of the TikTok-popular FD01 sneakers, with a cushion-y sole and two shades on offer.
The original Shiseido sunblock stick was viral for a reason, thanks to its easy glide application, water-resistant capabilities and all-around handbag friendliness.

The biggest night in fashion is upon us. The 2025 The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala, best known as the Met Gala, is Monday, May 5, and this year’s theme is “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” It’s an ode to Black dandyism in all of its refined and sophisticated glory.
The theme is inspired by Barnard professor and guest curator Monica L. Miller’s 2009 book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. But prior to the theme reveal, those not in the trenches of fashion may have never even heard of Black dandyism. But most likely, they could identify it: a well-tailored suit, hard-bottom shoes and a flamboyant hat or walking cane to bring it all together.
The Met will “illustrate how Black people transformed from being enslaved and stylised as luxury items, acquired like any other signifier of wealth and status, to autonomous self-fashioning individuals who are global trendsetters,” according to Vogue.
This year’s Met Gala co-chairs are Colman Domingo, A$AP Rocky, Lewis Hamilton and Pharrell Williams. Each of their respective styles is an example of modern day Black dandyism. And even though that may paint a picture, that doesn’t exactly define Black dandyism. Before Monday’s big event, here’s a definitive guide to this year’s theme.
What is Black dandyism?
On its surface, a dandy is defined as “a man unduly devoted to style, neatness, and fashion in dress and appearance,” as noted by the Oxford Dictionary. But historically, dandyism has roots in 18th century Britain when enslaved Black people were used as accessories for white people to flaunt their wealth. During the transatlantic slave trade, enslavers dressed Black people in extravagant clothing and paraded them around, calling them “luxury slaves.” It was used as a dehumanizing form of minstrelsy that further objectified Black men.
As time went on, Black people reclaimed Black dandyism. What once was used to demean us became a subversive tool for resistance throughout the diaspora. Historical giants Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois used fashion to command respect, dignity and authority during the Reconstruction and post-Reconstruction eras.
During the Harlem Renaissance, Zora Neale Hurston, Langston Hughes, James Baldwin and others continued the tradition of dandyism, pushing for both revolution and agency with their own style. Their fashion wasn’t asking for permission, rather running to the edge of social convention and daring the rest of the world to keep up.
Fashion historian and assistant curator of The Cleveland Museum of Art Darnell-Jamal Lisbytold CDFA that Black style has long been a tool to communicate and navigate power.
“It forges cultural expressions independent of Eurocentric definitions,” he said. “Black dandyism, in particular, carves out identity – at times rejecting Eurocentric ideals and at others existing within or alongside them. This refined self-styling conveys Black agency and consciousness.”
Even to this day, we see Black dandyism as a bold form of expression and rejection of the boxes society aims to keep us in. It’s evolved to include more contemporary interpretations, including streetwear and haute couture.
What are some modern examples of Black dandyism?
Today’s dandyism emphasizes bold colors, extravagant accessories and unique tailoring, but is still rooted in Black self-expression. Along with the co-chairs, great examples of modern day those who draw from dandism are Janelle Monáe with her perfectly-fit suits, Ayo Adebiri and her red carpet looks (often courtesy of Thom Browne), and Jidenna in his “Classic Man” era. Vogue’s May issue, captured by Tyler Mitchell and styled by Law Roach, features Domingo, Rocky, Adebiri, Monáe, Lakeith Stanfield, John Batiste and more Black stars breaking down their interpretation of dandyism.
Pharrell along with André 3000, a host committee member, and Big Boi of Outkast have helped reshape dandyism from a hip-hop lens, leading to younger acts like Tyler, the Creator to adapt the style. Playwright Jeremy O. Harris called himself a dandy, in a recent Vogue essay, “To be a Black dandy is to dress as though you know you’re loved and therefore have no use for shame.”
Fashion icons Dapper Dan, also a host committee member, and June Ambrose are also exemplary dandies whose impactful contributions have helped the style evolve over the years.
It must also be noted that one of the most prolific recent examples was the late André Leon Talley. The Vogue editor and fashion icon was the magazine’s first Black male creative director. His passion for fashion and tailoring was apparent, as his voice became the one you wanted to hear every Met Gala up until his death in 2022. And it’s a voice that will be deeply missed this year as the theme feels like it was made especially for him.
Why is this year’s Met gala theme important?
On fashion’s biggest night, all eyes will be on the attendees paying homage to a timeless style with roots in Black history. It’s the first time in more than 20 years that the exhibit exclusively features menswear. It’s also the first time in history that the co-chairs of the Met Gala are all Black men, with LeBron James as honorary co-shair.
The actual exhibition will tell the story of Black dandyism’s evolution over time through clothing and accessories, showcasing the work of designers like Virgil Abloh and Grace Wales Bonner. It will also highlight style in living rooms, lecture halls and night clubs. The exhibition opens on May 10 and runs until Oct. 26.
“Dandyism can seem frivolous, but it often poses a challenge to or a transcendence of social and cultural hierarchies,” Miller, who’s also professor and chair of Barnard’s Africana Studies Department, said in a statement. “It asks questions about identity, representation, and mobility in relation to race, class, gender, sexuality, and power. This exhibition explores dandyism as both a pronouncement and a provocation.”
This year’s theme also comes at a time when diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives are under legislative attack, leaving even non-federal organizations folding under the pressure. Add onto that the fashion industry’s less than welcoming reputation for inclusivity.
Met curator Andrew Bolton told Vogue that this show signifies a big step in the museum’s commitment to diversity “as well as redressing some of the historical biases within our curatorial practice.” He continued, “It’s very much about making fashion at the Met more of a gateway to access and inclusivity.”
The theme is Black as hell. What could go wrong?
This is the first time a Met Gala theme will be honoring Black style specifically. Though the moment is celebratory and long overdue, it’s giving some pause. Historically speaking, many white people have had a hard time — or just been plain ignorant — about the line between appreciation and appropriation of Black culture. From cornrows to trends deemed as “ghetto fabulous,” all too often we’ve seen mainstream culture co-opt and capitalize off of Black culture while simultaneously villainizing those who created it.
Though the dress code is “Tailored for You,” a nod to the exhibition’s focus, some social media users fear there will be non-Black attendees who may make racist and egregious choices. (Blackface isn’t totally outside of the realm of possibilities, unfortunately, some believe.)
One person on X said “I’m still nervous about this Met Gala theme [because] it can get real racist, REAL fast.” Some have also noted that they will be keeping their eye out for notable figures who should be at this year’s gala but have never been invited in years prior. Bria Van Cooten posted a TikTok video calling out the Costume Institution for never inviting Ambrose, an influential dandy and costume designer. While things could go sideways, it is refreshing that this year’s theme is honoring the impact of Black style. Let’s hope white celebs read the room and approach their outfit choices wisely, and with the reverence the theme deserves. Overall, viewers just want to tap into their inner Miranda Priestly, not their inner Jesse Jackson.
The Met Gala will take place on Monday, May 5 in New York City. Viewers can watch live coverage on Vogue’s YouTube channel, E! and Peacock at 6 p.m. ET. And keep it locked to @r29unbothered on Tiktok and Instagram for our coverage!

Finding cool, well-fitting denim can be a challenge no matter your size — every brand has its own sizing, inseams, and idea of what defines “baggy” — but once you get beyond a size 12 or so, the difficulty increases in direct correlation with the way the selection decreases. Many brands simply do not make plus-size denim at all. And even brands that do often only offer a limited selection of styles, sticking to just mass market favorites and offering very little in the way of emerging trends.
So I always take note when a brand gets it right. Since it launched plus sizes in 2019, Anthropologie has been high on my list of denim recommendations. The work the company puts into extended sizes is apparent, with jeans that look and feel like they were made with plus bodies in mind. Its in-house denim label Pilcro is particularly good — the fit is reliably consistent and true to size (I wear 20W) and the denim is great quality, especially for the relatively reasonable price point, with most pairs under $150 but comparable to designer denim that retails for $250+.
Pilcro is also on top of it when it comes to buzzy styles. Often, once I see the early signs of an emerging trend, I immediately look for plus-size options. Unfortunately, plus-size fashion tends to have trend lag across the board, with plus-specific styles often debuting a trend months to years after it starts to hit the mainstream (if they ever offer it at all). That’s not the case with Anthropologie, which creates styles for both straight and plus-size customers alongside each other.
With denim front and center for 2025 trends, and silhouettes more varied than ever (see: barrel-leg jeans), it felt like the perfect time to try out Pilcro’s newest arrivals. Ahead, my impressions and fit feedback on six pairs of Anthropologie’s current denim. Spoiler alert: There are no duds!
The barrel jean trend might not seem like the most approachable one — the name alone is off-putting — but that hasn’t stopped it from becoming one of 2025’s most popular denim silhouettes. And for a good reason: The fashion-forward shape works when done right, but finding a pair done right in plus is no easy feat. Over the years, I’ve noticed a real reticence by many plus-specific brands to offer trends that aren’t traditionally “flattering,” and that was certainly the case when barrel jeans first hit the scene last year. Anthropologie was one of the first retailers I saw offering true barrel jeans in plus, and fortunately, they perfected the style with this pair.
The Pilcro Kenna is pretty much the platonic ideal of a barrel jean: Round, cool, and weird, with lots of volume through the leg. The tiny bit of stretch (1% elastane) gives the cotton denim just enough give while keeping the exaggerated proportions looking purposeful.
This is a jean that doesn’t require a lot of styling — it looks great with a simple tank and sandals — but I also kind of love leaning into the inherent silliness of the silhouette. So, for this look, I added silver Western boots for a little wink and nod to the “this town ain’t big enough for the two of us” cowgirl vibe. I completed the outfit with a sleek bodysuit and purple accents to keep it from becoming too literal, and loved the final combination.
These relaxed flares are another great example of Pilcro being on top of denim trends.
Flared denim has been sneaking back onto the scene for a bit now, with ’70s-inspired style peppering the runways and showing up in street style more often. But the real shift moment was Kendrick Lamar’s excellent Super Bowl performance, where he commanded a field-size stage in a pair of light-wash Celine flares. Since then, the flare renaissance has begun in earnest, with one particular variation leading the pack: relaxed, wider-width flares. This slouchy style brings the same nonchalant, cool girl vibes as barrel jeans, but in a much less daunting cut.
These jeans are 100% cotton, with no added stretch, but the fit is true to size, and the lightweight fabric softens even further with wear. This pair was a bit clingy on my lower belly area when I first put them on, but by the end of the day, they were perfectly relaxed and no longer clinging. That’s not the only reason I like this material, though: It is also part of Anthropologie’s Regenerative Cotton collection, a more sustainably grown fiber from its “partnership with environmental nonprofit Kiss the Ground to promote regenerative agriculture and raise awareness on the soil health movement.”
When I first pulled this pair out of the package, it looked so small that I had some serious concerns about whether I’d even be able to get them on my body. But I should have had more faith in Pilcro’s sizing consistency, because once I tried them on, the fit was perfect. The denim is substantial without being too heavy for warmer weather (it was an unseasonably hot 80-degree day when I wore these out), and the 2% elastane gives a good amount of stretch. The proportions of this pair are great, too, with the high rise hitting me at a nice spot on my natural waist, and enough room at the hips that I don’t feel squished. Paired with a fun Rachel Antonoff shell print top and mesh Mary Jane flats from Lane Bryant (one of my go-tos for comfortable wide-width shoes), I had a look that took me from a day of writing to a night of events.
I also really appreciate that these jeans are a true straight-leg silhouette. (It is all too common to see so-called straight-leg jeans turn into wide-leg or flares in plus sizes due to improper size grading.)
I liked all the denim I tried from Pilcro for this story, but this has to be my favorite pair. The vibe shift away from skinny jeans in 2020 has opened up the realm of denim silhouette possibilities, and I love it. These aren’t the classic flares of yore, nor are they traditional wide-leg jeans. The combination, done in a thicker denim with a bit of stretch and reworked denim panels on the side, adds up to be a really interesting pair of jeans — but one that is still surprisingly versatile. While wear-testing this pair, I found myself throwing these on for everything from dog walks to quick trips to the store, but they also look great more dressed up with a strappy heeled sandal and cute top.
I found this pair to be a bit snug on the first wear, but they broke in quickly, feeling just right by the end of my second wear. I wore these for a warm day that felt like a sneak peek of summer, and paired them with a striped tank and gold accents for my take on the fisherman aesthetic.
If you hear the words “low-rise” and immediately have to fight the urge to break out in nervous hives, don’t fear: These are not the ultra-low-rise jeans of the Y2K era! Indeed, the modern version of low rise would have been considered downright high rise back then, which makes it a lot less daunting for those of us who don’t want to have to worry about whale tails. (In modern terms, these are closer to a mid-rise, showing just a sliver of midriff with a tee.)
I always size up when it comes to low-rise jeans, especially when they are stiff, non-stretch denim, so I got a size 22W instead of my usual size 20W in these jeans to make sure they’d be lower slung as intended. My strategy worked, and they ended up hitting comfortably just below my belly button. I paired them with a crochet-detail tee and a longline blazer for a day of meetings and events.
One thing to note: These are only an inch longer in the inseam (30.5”) than the Darien wide leg flares, but the effect was much longer due to being worn lower on the hip, to the point that they sometimes dragged on the ground when I wore them with sneakers (I’m 5’4” and a half, for reference.)
Dark wash jeans are having a real moment, and this deep indigo wash pair is a great option if you are looking for a trouser-like style. The denim on this one is lighter weight — perfect for transitioning from cool spring temperatures to hotter summer days. There is a bit of stretch in this pair (2% elastane), but they didn’t lose their shape with wear. Indeed, between the deep indigo color and the considered details like the top-stitched pockets and cuffs, I’d say these are sharp enough for all but the most conservative office environments (how good would this pair look with sleek pumps and a crisp poplin button down tucked in?)
I styled them more casually for a day of running around Manhattan, with a crop top, a boxy car coat, and my beloved Crocs platform clogs. I found this pair to be the most comfortable of all the Pilcro styles I tried, to the point that I would consider wearing these for travel, even on a long flight — a true testament, in my opinion!
