Oil Spill Hair

If your whole vibe is urban and grunge, you may wanna try this one out. It’ll go really well with an industrial-inspired look, perfect for Wireless or Parklife. This unique look will top off any dark, edgy outfit and give you an ethereal glow. The effect is created by blending different cool colours like blues purples and greens to create this one-of-a-kind hairstyle.

@mikaimikai stood out from the crowd by creating the oil spill effect on a few strands of hair – keeping it classy, while still adding a bit of an edge to the look.

Star Stencils

Sometimes pouring a bunch of glitter in your hair, just to spend 3 hours taking it out the next day just isn’t worth it. But this look will dazzle up your outfit without all that hassle. Using a couple of star stencils you can create several designs on your hair to spice up the look a little bit.

Starry Eyes

^{Image by Eva K. Salvi}

This trend is for the daring makeup lovers out there, who are ready to try something sparkly and new. You can use stencils (or even try freehand if you’re really that brave) to paint a splash of stars across your eyes and face.

@ashleyrtistry_ on TikTok created this ethereal look by using white eyeshadow and star-shaped stencils to create some beautiful constellations across her face and under her eyes.

This look doesn’t have to be super over the top if you’re not feeling too daring yet. @gucciganggabbi on TikTok showed her followers a simplified version of the trend, resulting in a subtle, but still unique look.

Pearls Everywhere

Face pearls have been everywhere on social media recently, with creators using them in their own weird and wonderful ways to create some stunning designs on their faces and bodies.

Marika D’Auteuil shared a photo on Instagram of a look using silver pearls all around the model’s face, paired with a natural base. The pearls gave the look an exquisite glow and left people in the comments speechless.

Sometimes face pearls don’t have to make up the whole look and can simply be used to enhance what’s already there. Imma Puii (@immapuii on TikTok) showed us this in her 30-second tutorial where she used pearls to line her crease.

Gold Tears

Ever since SZA rocked this look at the 2018 met gala, the internet went crazy. And now that it’s nearly summer, it’s time for it to come back. A touch of gold makes any makeup look stand out and this look in particular is bound to turn some heads. While tears are seen as a sad thing, gold tears are far more exquisite, making them perfect for this year’s festival season. @illumin_arty on Instagram created this eccentric look and took it ten steps further by painting gold drops along her shoulders and topping the look off with a gold tiara.

@trinsmakeups went for 3D tears and gold stars in her take on the look.

Double Denim

Double denim was all the rage in the 2000s; Britney Spears, Victoria Beckham, and Paris and Nicole all rocked fully denim outfits. Whilst the jeans and jacket combo might be a bit hot for festival season, Kali Uchis rocks a denim corset top with a low-rise mini skirt and denim boots. Trade the denim boots for wellies, and you have yourself a very 2000s festival outfit!

Belts

Belt choices in the early 2000s were questionable to say the least. Bohemian ‘disc’ belts, low-rise belts that served no purpose, oversized waistband belts, and sequin scarf belts all had their moments. Bizarre belts have been making a comeback recently too, with Miu Miu showcasing double-belted skirts, Diesel’s literal belt miniskirt, and Rina Sawayama wearing belts in lieu of tops on the cover of Nylon magazine and at the Brits afterparty. The possibilities are endless, as Sita proves, layering a variety of styles to create this very risky belt dress.

Speaking of wellies, Kate Moss has proven to us time and time again that the boot your parents probably made you wear as a child does not have to be shunned. Whether pairing Hunter wellies with short-shorts and a waistcoat or a glittery dress and pointless belt, Kate embraces the harsh reality of a UK summer- clouds, rain, and mud everywhere!

This trend is definitely back, with influencers sporting metallic cowboy boots and Paco Rabanne’s coveted sequin skirt, while TikTokers apply gold and silver leaf to their favourite jeans. Metallic pieces are the perfect way to spice up a boring festival outfit!

Lace

Lace can be perfect for a festival because it is super lightweight and breathable. It adds detail to an outfit and can be layered (think: Blake Lively Kids’ Choice Awards 2005). Sheer lace skirts and lace-edge tank tops are cute and easy to find in shops, and lace gloves are also becoming more and more popular. Practical for a festival? Probably not, but cute.

Cut-out tops are a piece that can be dressed up or down, but dressed all the way up is the way to go for a festival. Go classic y2k with a bedazzled butterfly top, or keep it cool with a white star top like Emma Leger. These summery tops would look great with any early 2000s festival accessory — long bohemian necklaces, gold shiny tattoos, or feathers in your hair!

Terry cloth will keep you dry as you dance all night! And is super comfy and breathable which is essential for a hot sweaty festival. A staple in any early 2000s wardrobe, from Juicy Couture terry tracksuits to beach cover-up dresses, terry cloth is both fashionable and functional. Sophie Suchan has styled this Chanel co-ord with layered chain belts and a matching Chanel purse. So simple but so classic.

The Coach monogram had 2000s teenagers in a chokehold. Everyone wanted the little monogrammed clutch as their going-out bag after it was spotted on the arms of celebrities like Ashley Benson, Paris Hilton, and Ashley Tisdale. The resurgence of the y2k aesthetic meant Coach relaunched their old styles, including the classic monogram in different colours and even denim. Elsa Hosk opted for an elevated classics look, posing by a vintage car in a monogrammed bikini top with matching jeans. The coordinated patterns make this simple look seem tied together and are perfect for wanting to look good without the high maintenance at a festival.

The post These Y2K Trends Will Level Up Your ’23 Festival Looks appeared first on Voir Fashion.

So, hosted by Derek Blasberg (the platform’s Head of Fashion and Beauty) The YouTube Beauty Festival will premier on our screens on the 14th of May. The virtual summit will include timely panel discussions and informative beauty segments, all with major celebrity guests and YouTube content creators alike. 

What a lineup it is. The festival spotlights celebrity beauty brand owners like Miranda Kerr (Kora Organics), Jessica Alba (The Honest Company), Milly Bobby Brown (Florence by Mills) and Pharrell Williams (Humanrace). Although they will be chatting about generally entertaining and useful information, it will also include “important conversations about amplifying diversity and equality across the beauty landscape.”

Additionally, there is also a chance to tune in to segments such as Ask a Drag Queen with RuPaul’s Drag Race winners Bob the Drag Queen and Monet X Change, the Black Beauty Founder Roundtable with YouTube’s Head of Creators Chanel Tyler and Pharrell Glow, where the founder and musician Pharrell Williams reveals his secrets on how he stays so youthful. Speaking to People.com Blasberg explained:

‘One of the first people I thought of when we were coming up with concepts for this festival was Pharrell Williams. Have you seen recent pictures of this man? He has not aged a day in, like, three decades. What’s the secret to his glow? He agreed to go over his beauty routine with three of YouTube’s top beauty creators, Asia Jackson, Sylvia Gani, and Nailea.’

We’ve never heard a truer word. How has he achieved this Benjamin Button status? We will be tuning in to find out!

The post Urgent: The Glastonbury Of The Beauty Industry Is Nearly Here! appeared first on Voir Fashion.

As summer continues, so does the sadness of cancellations. However, while we reminisce on what could have been, the hope of summer 2021 allows us to get excited about what is to come. Until that time comes, here are some songs from the lineups of August’s four biggest festivals, so you can have a socially distanced and safe alternative, for the time being.

Reading & Leeds

The Reading and Leeds lineup for this year would have been an eclectic mix, ranging from Bladee to Sleeping With Sirens to the reunited Rage Against The Machine and Liam Gallagher on the main stage. The twin festivals were supposed to take place on the 28th to the 30th of August, but will now be postponed until the same bank holiday weekend in 2021.

Listen to the two playlists we have compiled for this festival:

Reading and Leeds 2020 Indie

Reading and Leeds 2020

Boardmasters

This will be the second time in a row that Boardmasters has been canceled, after weather conditions last year were too bad for the Cornwall weekender to go ahead. The lineup this year included The Kooks, Dizzee Rascal, and Mura Masa with Skepta, Kings of Leon, and The 1975 headlining. The festival will be back at Newquay between the 11th and 15th of August 2021.

Listen to the Boardmasters playlist on Spotify:

Boardmasters 2020 Playlist

Boomtown Fair

Boomtown Fair ‘Chapter 12’ was cancelled in April and will return on the 11th to the 15th of August 2021. This year’s lineup would have included Wu-Tang Clan, The Libertines, Mura Masa along with underground artists from a diverse mix of genres – typical of the UK’s largest independent festival. The event was also supposed to feature a brand new multi-stage show with a theatrical circus and a 360-degree experience, but we’ll have to wait until next year to get the full details of the spectacular.

Listen to the Boomtown Spotify playlist here:

Boomtown CH12 Official Playlist (2020)

Creamfields

Tickets for Creamfields 2021 have already started selling as names are being added to the lineup. The EDM festival would have been from the 27th to 30th of August this year and would have featured artists such as Calvin Harris, The Chainsmokers, Example and Deadmou5.

Listen to the Creamfields Spotify playlist here:

Creamfields 2020

These are our playlists and the official playlists for what the weekenders could have been – minus the achy legs, wet clothes, and unhygienic loos.

The post The Sound of August 2020 Cancelled Festivals appeared first on Voir Fashion.

As a new season rolls around, unsurprisingly, a new ugly trend is on the horizon. This one has taken the fashion world by storm, from the runway to social media influencers. It´s time to chuck out your chunky trainers in exchange for a pair of dad-inspired Velcro sandals.

For many, this trend might be reminiscent of your childhood, parents forcing you to wear comfortable yet practical shoes – and that´s exactly what they still offer, comfort and practicality. You may feel sceptical towards the rubber soles and utilitarian details which were once reserved for out-of-place tourists, outdoorsy folks and grandmas, but this shoe trend has recently reached a much wider audience, thanks to the influencers bringing sport sandals into the mainstream.

They’ve been around for some years: Marni presented them back at SS15, followed by Chanel SS16. Like most trends, this one has excited a niche customer for years – but has only recently been appropriated by fashion´s power house: Prada. Their Logo Embossed Leather Canvas Sandals have taken over the fashion world, and are sure to be all over your Instagram feed. The SS19 runways continued to demonstrate that this style is as cool as it is comfortable, with designers including Anna Sui, Cecilie Bahnsen and Sandy Liang embracing the ’90s-throwback sandals in their collections. Whether you choose the most talked about sandal (within a reasonable price range) Teva Velcro sandals, the blinged out version by Gucci or The Row´s minimalistic leather version; these sporty sandals may feel a little tricky to style.

So, how can you infiltrate this slightly awkward shoe trend into your wardrobe? Whether you’re heading to next weekend’s Glasto, or just feel like donning some sporty chic, pair them with cycling shorts in summer’s hottest colour trend: neon. If that´s not bold enough, wear your sandals with tie-dye socks to complete the look and ensure you’re standing out from the crowd. If you fancy wearing your new ugly sandals on the daily, style them with straight jeans, a cute crop top and some fun accessories. Alternatively, pair a maxi/midi dress with some glitter socks. Despite their nerdy connotations, the socks and sandals combination will garnish any outfit this summer.
