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.

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.

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...
There's something uniquely captivating about close-set eyes — they create an intense, focused gaze that can be absolutely magnetic. If you've ever wondered whether your eyes are close-set, or how to make the most of this distinctive feature, you're in the right place. Let's explore expert techniques to enhance your natural beauty, drawing inspiration from some of Hollywood's most striking faces. Identifying Close-Set Eyes Ryan Reynolds has close-set eyes.
