ls the tea on last month’s juiciest fashion shake-ups, beauty trends and everything in between.
Not a month goes by without its fair share of drama, intrigue, and, of course, a few raised eyebrows. Starting with a dose of internet buzz, the popular Honey browser extension has come under fire for allegedly hijacking affiliate revenue from influencers. A youtuber has exposed that when users click on an influencer’s affiliate link, Honey replaces it with their own, redirecting commissions away from content creators. This has led to class-action lawsuits against PayPal, Honey’s parent company, filed by affected influencers.
In beauty news, Revlon’s Super Lustrous Lipstick in the shade Rum Raisin is having a viral resurgence. This ’90s throwback is being hailed as the perfect universally flattering brownish-plum colour, with TikTok beauty lovers and nostalgic make-up enthusiasts stocking up on this cult classic. If you haven’t tried it, now might be the time to add a little retro charm to your beauty bag.
On the fashion front, Balenciaga has done it again! This time with its barefoot shoes. Designed to mimic the look of toes, the divisive footwear has people questioning whether this trend is avant-garde genius or just plain baffling. Love them or hate them, Balenciaga certainly knows how to get people talking, and these peculiar shoes are proof.
And finally, a major shake-up in luxury fashion: Stella McCartney has officially parted ways with LVMH. While the collaboration has come to an end, Stella will remain with the conglomerate as the Global Ambassador on Sustainability. Known for her eco-conscious vision, this ongoing role ensures her influence in shaping greener practices across the luxury sector is far from over.
