When Rihanna debuted her first Fenty collection at a New York City pop-up on Tuesday, people not only took notice of the clothes, but also the mannequins wearing them. These in-store models weren't the svelte, 24-inch-waist figures displayed at regular retail stores. These mannequins had curves.

One photo from the event, posted by @TeamOfRihanna, made its rounds on Twitter after fans noticed the mannequin in the picture had hips, full breasts, and a little belly.

"Here for this mannequin having hip dips and a little pooch," user @Chaantellie tweeted. "Wow this mannequin is shaped like me," wrote another. Others responded with similar joyous reactions of feeling represented.

"Rihanna's vision for FENTY is to celebrate femininity in all its form," the brand told BAZAAR.com in a statement. "This Release 6-19 explores another facet of a woman's wardrobe, one that honors all colors, shapes, curves and styles. We wanted to illustrate the Maison's inclusive side by showing a size-range of mannequins which represent this reality."


The body shapes of the mannequins varied in size; some seemed to have flatter stomachs, while some had thicker thighs. They might not have technically qualified as "plus size" figures, but with their familiar curves and dips, they resonated with real women. It's important to see as some high-fashion brands still struggle to embrace bigger sizes on the runway and in ads.

Inclusivity is a constant theme in Rihanna's brands. She launched Fenty Beauty with 40 shades of foundation, which especially benefitted people of color who've often had limited options of darker cosmetic shades to choose from. She included a plus-size collection in her Savage x Fenty lingerie line and featured models of various body sizes (including two pregnant women) in the runway show.

The size representation does not stop with her Fenty fashion line, which goes up to the French size 46 (size 14 in the U.S.). "We have our fit models, which is the standard size from factories, you just get your samples made in one size," Rihanna explained to E! News at the pop-up launch. "But then, I want to see it on my body, I want to see it on a curvy girl with thighs and a little bit of booty and hips."

The singer-turned-designer, who's previously opened up about her "fluctuating body type," also credited her changing figure as something that guided her during the design process. "It's all of these things I take into consideration because I want women to feel confident in my stuff," she added.

Size diversity is just as impactful for consumers to see on mannequins as it is on runway models and actual clothes. Racked reported in 2017 that mannequins are the "strongest method of 'silent selling'" and one that "looks or is shaped like like the customer" is more likely to influence sales.

As The Guardian reported in 2015, the average mannequin has the following unrealistic measurements: six-foot height, 34-inch bust, 24-inch waist, and 34-inch hips. But the average American woman is about five foot three with a 38-inch waist, according to the CDC. Fenty isn't the only brand to embrace more realistic body types in its mannequins; J. C. Penny and David's Bridal have already done so, according to Racked, and Nordstrom and Target are adding shapelier mannequins to their stores, The Wall Street Journal reports. But with Fenty, a brand that stands alongside Dior, Givenchy, and Louis Vuitton in the LVMH conglomerate, Rihanna is bringing that change to a high-fashion space.


The 9 biggest sun protection mistakes you're making - Yahoo Style

Posted: 24 Jun 2019 03:33 PM PDT

For years we've been told by experts that wearing SPF daily is the ultimate preventative for skin cancer and skin aging. But if you think just one application of sunscreen in the morning is going to cut it, well, think again.

According to medical and cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Sonya Abdulla of Dermatology on Bloor in Toronto, just as you would target and treat other skin concerns, sun care comes with steps, rules, and other products to keep in mind.

After getting some pro-tips from Abdulla, I realized that there are some pretty substantial mistakes I didn't even realize I was making. If you're like me and just starting to take sun protection seriously, scroll through to find out what sun protection mistakes you're probably making too.

Mistake no. 1: Applying your sunscreen once you get to the beach or pool

"Newer sunscreens typically start protecting on contact with the skin. There is little to no delay for them to start working if applied uniformly and in adequate amounts. The bigger challenge is the human factor - we all spend time scouting out the perfect location at the pool, beach or sporting event, then getting settled in," Abdulla explains. "On average, this takes 20 minutes – more than enough time to sunburn."

Solution: Lather up before you head out, this ensures your sunscreen is applied to all hard to reach parts.

Mistake no. 2: Not re-applying sunscreen

"Current guidelines suggest that sunscreen should be re-applied every 2 hours – this largely because the original sunscreen formulations were not photostable, meaning that they would break down with sun exposure," says Abdulla. "Newer, innovative sunscreen formulations with UVA and UVB filters are stable with sun exposure but we rarely apply enough sunscreen the first time around and often skip areas, hence the awkward sunburn or skip areas."

Solution: Re-apply sunscreen whenever and as much as you can to avoid sunburns, especially after water exposure or intense sweating. If you're big on outdoor activities in the summer, we recommend using a water-proof formula.

Mistake no. 3: Priming your sun tan with a bed tan

"Artificial tanning has fallen completely out of favour," Abdulla says. "Using a tanning bed before the age of 35 years increases your risk of melanoma by 59 per cent, and continues to increase with each use."

Solution: To help maintain a long-lasting bronze complexion sans sun exposer and a tanning bed, you can't go wrong with a good self-tanner.

Mistake no. 4: Not using after-sun care

"If you have fallen victim to the sun, soothe your sunburn with gentle after-sun skincare products containing ingredients such as aloe vera or green tea extract. Be sure to moisturize regularly in the days post and do not peel or pick the skin," Abdulla recommends.

Solution: For some after-sun care product suggestions, be sure to check out our picks here.

Mistake no. 5: Assuming your clothes protect you from the sun

"A standard weave T-shirt confers an SPF between 4-8. Pretty shocking! This is where UV protective clothing is relevant for actual sun protection," Abdulla advises. "Look for UV protective clothing, including broad-brimmed hats, bathing suits and other styles of clothing with UPF 50+ for added physical protection. UPF can be loosely correlated with SPF, where an UPF 50+ confers UV protection of 97.5 per cent. Be mindful that UPF is evaluated only when clothing is dry so clothing with a tighter weave and denser fabric tends to be better."

Solution: Be prepared to replace this clothing intermittently for maximum protection.

Mistake no. 6: Thinking your makeup SPF provides enough protection

"Sunscreen included in make-up may only provide partial protection from UV exposure. Remember that SPF only reflects protection against UVB rays – not UVA," warns Abdulla. "This is relevant since 95 per cent of UV exposure is ultraviolet A, and most cosmetics do not contain specific UVA filters. Studies have also shown that intuitively, we do not apply a sufficient amount of cosmetic product to correlate with the SPF on packaging, so protection may be as little as 50 per cent of the SPF label."

Solution: For ultimate face sun protection, use both a sunscreen designed for face and body and SPF-infused makeup.

Mistake no. 7: Wearing sunglasses only as a fashion statement

"Eyes are equally susceptible to sun damage. Repeated sun exposure to the eyes is associated with increased rates of cataracts and macular degeneration, as well as damage to the cornea and non-melanoma skin cancers of the eyelid," says Abdulla.

Solution: Shop for large-frame sunglasses with maximum UVR protection (99-100 per cent) as well as visible light protection.

Mistake no. 8: Shaving before a swim or the beach

Abdulla says that "Shaving creates areas of microtrauma to the skin, creating portals of entry for bacteria resulting in razor bumps or folliculitis. Skin may also be more sensitive to sunscreen and other exposures immediately post-shave."

Solution: Shave four to six hours ahead of exposure and follow-up with a gentle moisturizer post-shave to limit the risk of infection and irritation. We suggest using an aloe vera cream.

Mistake no. 9: Not wearing retinol in the summer

"Retinol and retinoids can be used year-round," explains Abdulla. "Retinol and retinoids are major workhorses in dermatology for treatment of acne, hyperpigmentation as well as their anti-aging benefits. Longterm use of retinol and retinoids also prevents precancerous sun damage and some non-melanoma skin cancers."

Solution: Apply retinol and retinoids before bed to prevent breakdown of the molecule by UV light exposure. Like any skincare product, retinol and retinoids should only be used as tolerated (most common side effects include exfoliation and irritation). As long as adequate sun protection is used throughout the day and you continue to tolerate your skincare routine, retinol and retinoids can be continued year-round.

I’m glad sneakers are fashionable: Rakul Preet - Times of India

Posted: 22 Jun 2019 11:32 AM PDT

Fashion is… About comfort.

Five essentials of a woman's wardrobe


Nice pair of jeans, white T-shirt, little black dress, one formal shirt, and shorts.

My everyday outfit
Shorts and T-shirt or a summer dress or denims with a crop top.

A grooming tip
Always keep your nails well groomed.

Favourite style trick
Oversized T-shirt with shorts looks stylish, is comfortable and makes a statement.

A fashion trend I hate
Bell bottoms.

A trend I love
I love crop tops and I really like the fact sneakers are in fashion as I am not a heels person.

My shopping strategy
I am a very bad shopper. I can't put two things together so I need someone to do that for me and it's usually my stylist, friend or mom I take along with me. I shop off the mannequins and displays!

Your style philosophy
Comfort comes first and when you own the outfit you wear, it naturally looks stylish.

Your must-have grooming essential
There are so many, as you need to be groomed from head-to-toe!

A skincare advice from your mom
Whatever fruit you are eating, apply it on your face. Then the usual haldi, besan, curd, lemon for removing tan.

Airport looks are...
Not cool. It's too much pressure at least for me as I like to travel easy, and take too many flights since I am juggling acting and modelling.

Paparazzi is…
Never there when we are dressed and always there when we have oil in our hair! But they are cool.

Your fitness regimen
For me, fitness is a lifestyle. I work out every day because I feel my brain doesn't work if I skip it. And I eat clean. I don't eat sweets and fried food.

Your guilty indulgence
Bags and shoes.

Short takes
A word for you
Hyper – I can't sit in one place


Ultimate fashion destination
London
Most stylish person in showbiz
Two people whose style I admire are Sonam Kapoor and Anushka Sharma (in pic) – her style is very classy, casual and elegant
l don't think a star can hack it without a stylist now. You are always under the scanner. There's no time to put a look together.

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled (PS4) REVIEW - Will Drive You Coco - Cultured Vultures

Posted: 24 Jun 2019 10:29 AM PDT

Crash Team Racing

Kart racers are such wonderfully simple games that so many developers still seem to struggle to get just right. Mario Kart is often viewed as the grandfather of the genre, with the pretenders to its throne including the likes of Diddy Kong Racing, Crash Team Racing, and roughly nine million licensed tie-ins that couldn't get out of 8th place. If you're familiar with Hello Kitty Kruisers on Switch, you'll know that there's a significant gulf between the best and the rest.

The aforementioned Crash Team Racing is the typical pick of those who grew up on Team PlayStation over N64, it more than slightly inspired by its closest competition. Taking the majority of the Mario Kart formula and giving it a decidedly more orange and wackier sheen, Crash Team Racing was the next obvious trip down memory lane for Activision after the success of N. Sane Trilogy. Does this remake let you keep your rose-tinted spectacles firmly on, or do the wheels come off the Crash revolution? My very fuzzy and possibly misleading childhood memories are happy to report that Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled stacks up very well indeed.

Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled

The most obvious improvement between this full-fat remake and the PlayStation classic is on the visual front. The sharp edges have been buffed out, the tracks feel more vivid and vibrant, and it feels every inch the overhaul that N. Sane Trilogy did in 2017. Similarly, Nitro-Fueled will also make you question whether you've become worse at games as you've aged — it's tough, significantly more so than my previously mentioned muddy memories care to admit. It had me exclaiming words and phrases my grandparents would be ashamed of me for, but this steep learning curve just meant that my success felt even more momentous.

You will spend the majority of your time in Nitro-Fueled ensconced in its Adventure mode, which is one of the most robust single player experiences you will find in any racer. When Nitros Oxide threatens the planet with destruction unless he is beaten in a race, Crash and the gang have to race each other to decide who the invader's most suitable rival is, which just takes the form of winning trophies and beating (cheap ass) bosses. You earn four trophies for each "environment" you conquer in for the mode's alive hub-world with there being four bosses in total to take on before you can challenge the zeppelin head himself, so there's plenty to work through.

Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled

Getting there is easier said than done, however. Compared to the original game (and basically all of its karting peers), the AI in Nitro-Fueled is relentless and unforgiving, even when playing on medium difficulty. Cornering needs to be mastered, tracks ought to be memorised, and power-ups need to somewhat be on the lucky side sometimes for you to even hope of crossing the finishing line first. While it was still technically possible to get back into pole position, falling off the track or getting hit by consecutive power-ups was enough cause for me to just restart the race all over again almost every time. There's a harsh learning curve (or should that be "corner"?) that may be too frustrating for those who are just looking for an absent-minded kart racer to play with friends. If you can commit to learning the near science of perfect cornering and boosting, however, you'll be utterly enthralled in the mayhem before long.

Said mayhem comes about from the game's varied power-ups, which vary from a simple beaker to a an electric ball of death. Nitro-Fueled has a Mario Kart equivalent in almost every regard, though it must be said that they aren't quite as memorable. The same could be said of the roster: Beyond the main characters (Crash, Cortex, Coco, etc), there are a lot of names who won't be familiar to those who didn't follow the franchise from its PS1 to PS2 leap. This is more of a comment on the Crash IP as a whole — Activision can't readily call on the likes of Link and Donkey Kong, after all.

Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled

There's not a huge difference between the racers in Nitro-Fueled; I'd seriously struggle to suggest one is outright better than the other. Statistically speaking, racers like Crash are better all-rounders, whereas the chunky boys like Tiny struggle with acceleration but compensate with a higher top speed. While I seldom switched from Crash himself, experimenting with Nitro-Fueled's roster didn't make me feel like there was an undoubtedly distinct gulf between them, more that it's down to player preference. That being said, whenever the AI controls either Polar or Pura, they seem to suddenly become a part of the Schumacher family.

Once you've beaten Nitros Oxide, Adventure mode still has a remarkable amount to offer — there's possibly twice the amount of content waiting for you after the credits roll the first time. Players can take part in challenges involving collecting all crystals in an area within a time limit, beating track records, and even finding hidden CTR letters scattered around tracks. With each track having up to three challenges on top of the regular race and there being sixteen tracks in total, you are certainly getting your money's worth with Nitro-Fueled from a single player perspective.

Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled

Away from Adventure mode, Nitro-Fueled offers a glut of other modes to take part in, which includes Time Trials, Crystal Challenges, and Battle mode to name just a few. The latter is uproarious fun, it asking you to sap away the three lives of your opponents with power-ups in a contained area. Nitro-Fueled is also not stingy when it comes to its playgrounds of destruction, either, it paying reverence to the very first CTR game as well as its lesser-appreciated sequels, Nitro Kart and Tag Team Racing. The option to switch to the old "legacy" music is also a nice touch, and one that just adds to the heap of evidence that suggests Beenox loved the source material as much as everyone else. There's such an overwhelming amount of content here that's sadly beginning to feel like too rare an occurrence for this generation of gaming, which goes doubly for Activision. With Sekiro releasing as a complete experience and Modern Warfare promising no Season Pass, perhaps they're starting to turn over a new, more generally agreeable leaf.

Unfortunately, where Nitro-Fueled falls down most is in its inclusion of modern mechanics, namely its progression/customisation system. You earn Wumpa Coins for every race you take part in, win or lose, which can then be taken to the Pit Shop to be spent on cosmetic items. However, with most worthwhile items (new racers, skins) costing upwards of thousands of coins to unlock and you earning between 30-50 coins per race on average, there's a lot of work involved. Having bested Adventure mode and a lot of its post-content as well as diving into online for a couple of hours, I don't really feel like I've unlocked much at all.

Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled

Okay so look this game moves so fast that it's hard to get decent screens

To be clear, the depth of content and added incentivisation is highly appreciated, but the distribution could be much improved, as well as the Pit Stop being easier to get to than having to go all the way back to the main menu. On top of that, I'm not sure of the need to have timed, rotational items in a game with no microtransactions where the brunt of the fun is offline. Fortnite employs something similar and there's a huge culture around new items dropping in the daily Item Shop, but here it just feels a little awkward and pointless. If anything it turns me away from the grind even more.

Speaking of online, Nitro-Fueled really seems to struggle to fill out its lobbies, which is odd as Nitro-Fueled is one of the year's biggest games. It seems to create a lobby that any available players who started searching at the same time all join at once, and then kind of lies a little about searching for new players — not a single other player joined my lobbies after I did. I had one race with a full lobby from about twenty, which was just odd. Those other races were still fun, but the AI's moral compass made the bedlam not quite as pulse-pounding when they padded races out.

Though it's not the same game that you could play with friends while three sheets to the wind, Nitro-Fueled pays loving homage to its roots with an update that should now be seen as the definitive Crash Team Racing experience. The crazy amount of content will keep players busy for a long time, and with post-launch updates promising even more to come, Mario may just have to beware an inbound blue shell.

While its initially harsh difficulty may ruin your happy memories of the original in a hurry, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is kart racing nirvana with an abundance of content to dive into that makes it more than just an exercise in nostalgia.
