Today, Australia’s Jessica Lane took home the Miss Earth 2024 crown – congratulations to her! In light of her win, we decided to look back over the past five years of Miss Earth winners to see which body shapes have prevailed. You will be surprised: not a single Hourglass figure made the list! 2024 Instagram/@missearth The winner: Jessica Lane of Australia, a 21-year-old environmental activist and a journalism student. Instagram/@jessica_m__lane Body shape: Pear. Jessica’s body shape is defined by her prominent hips, with narrower shoulders and ribcage, creating a beautifully defined waist that curves gently down to her hips – the signature of a Pear shape.

Years ago, I worked at an upscale boutique specializing in evening and cocktail dresses. There was one customer who would always come into the store and announce: "I need a new dress." She would then browse the new arrivals, picking out a selection of midi-length bodycon dresses—all in size 0. The problem was, she was actually a size 4. But she refused to try on anything that wasn't a size 0. She WANTED to be a size 0. She BELIEVED that she was, and nothing could convince her otherwise. Often, she managed to squeeze into those tight clothes. If she loved a dress but the size 0 didn't fit, she'd simply pass on it. Sizing up was never an option...
Politics has always been considered a men's game. In movies, we have Claire Underwood in "House of Cards" and Kate Wyler in "Diplomat", but in real life, women in high political office remain relatively few. There was never a female president in the United States, and the highest position a woman has held is Vice President. So, for any female who decides to run for President, their public image becomes incredibly important, and their appearance should be carefully crafted depending on the message they want to project. In Kamala Harris's case, the message seems directed at her male politician colleagues: "I'm your equal" and at all people of America who are going to vote: "I'm strong, and I'm a leader"....
The fashion world is speaking in whispers — or should we say, through veils. In the last several days, we had a chance to see three photoshoots with celebrities wearing veils. When three style icons - Eiza González for M Revista De Milenio, Naomi Campbell for V Magazine, and Ariana Grande for Swarovski — all appear veiled within days of each other, we're witnessing more than coincidence. We're watching a trend unfold. Eiza González for M Revista De Milenio Naomi Campbell for V Magazine for Winter 2024 Ariana Grande for Swarovski The Art of Wearing Veils A veil transforms more than your appearance — it transforms your presence. A veiled face has a magnetic quality — the more it conceals,...
At the 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards, Katie Holmes wore the dress that no one would imagine on her, except for her stylist maybe. This style is absolutely unusual for an actress, and the bold color scheme was definitely borrowed from another season's palette (it belongs to Spring family), but she looked just stunning. So, why did it work? Let's analyze. We are talking about Carolina Herrera SS25 color-block gown in light pink and red-orange. First thing you notice about the dress is its color. This color combo is very pleasing to an eye: it's warm (warm colors always generate more arousal than cool ones), it's refreshing and these pigments can be found in human's skin — think natural blush and...
