Met Gala 2025 Best (and a Worst) Of Both in Black & White Yes, it’s a very classic, stylish look. No, it is not the most original – as we can see by the fact that, first of all, there are myriad variations on this theme seen here, and second, that there are other looks we highlighted elsewhere that could, in theory, have By Duana • May 06, 2025 12:26 pm
Style Power and Style 2025 This is probably my favourite issue that The Hollywood Reporter does every year – and it always happens right after the Oscars: The Power Stylists List and this year THR has named Jason Bolden the Stylist of the Year, well deserved!
