Beyoncé is coming! And when we say Beyoncé, we really mean we’re about to return to Pride Rock. Posters for 2019’s The Lion King just dropped, and Pumbaa looks terrifying. Disney fans haven’t recovered from the fact that Scar has no mane, and now with Pumbaa’s unveiling, we’re pretty sure those who loved the original Disney animated film have gone into witness protection. Admittedly, we’re still hype for 2019’s The Lion King because Queen Bey will be delivering her vocals on the soundtrack and James Earl Jones is reprising his role as Mufasa. However, we’re not sure that we can deal with the live-action version of our beloved warthog, Pumbaa. To begin, we understand that warthogs aren’t the most luxurious looking creatures in the jungle. However, since 1994, we’ve grown accustomed to a cuddly looking warthog who loves bugs for dinner and gave us one of the most beloved sayings of all time, “hakuna matata.” With Seth Rogan stepping in to voice Timon’s bestie , we thought we were in ...

Every time a friend of mine is kind enough to invite me to their wedding, my heart soars—then sinks. To be fair, the soaring lasts for several months; the sinking, on the other hand, lasts a mere few treacherous weeks, and only really sets in once I realize my closet is ill-equipped to handle all the weddings on my radar. My wardrobe is woefully low on wedding guest dresses . And no matter how many times I encounter this problem, I never seem to really, decidedly fix it. You see, I’m a fashion editor living and working in New York City—and my wardrobe shows it. My closet is filled with statement-making, ’80s-inspired duds, and any basics that have managed to make it in are dark, chunky and a little bit edgy. In other words, my aesthetic doesn’t lend itself well to wedding season —and the thought of buying a dress to wear only two or three times a year hurts my efficiency-loving heart. Still, too many weddings are creeping into my calendar for me to let this frustration continue any...

A good thriller movie with elements of horror needs the right cast, some intriguing suspense, and a compelling backstory that reveals a bit about the villain’s motivation. Ma has several of these elements . Set in small-town Ohio, the film follows Sue Ellen (Octavia Spencer), a lonely veterinary assistant who randomly befriends a group of teens after reluctantly agreeing to buy them some much-coveted alcohol. There’s Maggie ( Booksmart’s Diana Silvers) who has recently arrived in town with her newly divorced mom, Erica (Juliette Louis). There’s Andy (Corey Fogelmanis)–the boy who catches Maggie’s eye, Darell (Dante Brown) the token Black boy in the crew (in a town that has a shocking number of Black folks), Chaz (Gianni Paolo) the pretty boy jock, and Hayley (McKaley Miller), who rides the fine line between being badass and overly entitled. Taking pity on the kids and their lackluster hideaway, which consists of the great outdoors and a disgusting pile of trash, Sue Ellen offers Mag...

In the beauty world, especially in the Middle East, Huda Kattan is a boss. The makeup-artist-turned-entrepreneur launched her namesake brand, Huda Beauty, back in 2013 and has been a dominating force in the industry since. To solidify her beauty boss status, Kattan released an office tour of her Dubai space in total MTV Cribs style. She takes her fans, all 37 million of them on Instagram, through her eclectic office that shows off her bright and colorful personality. “I love collecting beautiful pieces and showcasing memorabilia, so there’s a lot here,” explains Kattan of the ultra-fun office some may call cluttered. “But I absolutely love it! I spend more time here than I do at home, we all do! Nour loves coming here—she always sets up in an area and does her homework. This definitely is more than just an office, it’s an extension of me and my home.” She’s talking about the Judith Leiber keepsakes, Chanel matryoshka dolls and pretty much every makeup product you can imagine, so...

Contouring is one of the biggest beauty comebacks to resurface in the last couple of years, thanks in part to the Kardashians and viral YouTube tutorials showing the makeup technique’s transformative powers. However, if you’re not a pro, there’s a fine line between creating a chiseled and defined effect and looking like you’ve painted on muddy-brown stripes onto your cheek bones, jawline, nose, and forehead. Without the proper technique and tools, contouring can look harsh and downright disastrous. Aside from choosing the right formula and color for your face shape and skin tone–usually a neutral or cool toned brown or taupe shade — using the right contour brush is the key to success when it comes to creating a sculpted appearance that enhances your angles. Regardless of whether you opt for a cream or powdered formula, an angled sculpting brush is going to be your best ally when it comes to shaping the face. In general, you want to look for a densely packed option that’s either angle...

A Fenty icon, a pop legend! Badgalriri is who we want to be when we grow up. Unfortunately, we’ve been pronouncing Rihanna’s name incorrectly this entire time. Pardon us as we go to the corner and hang our heads in shame. For years, we’ve been calling the makeup mogul “Ree-Ah-Na” and almost since the beginning over her career way back in 2005 she’s been telling us that that’s not how her name is said. It’s actually “Ree-Anna.” We don’t know why this just sank in now but in a recent video for British Vogue — Rihanna introduces herself with the correct pronunciation of her name. She says, “Hello British Vogue, it’s Rihanna [Ree-Anna] and I want to welcome you to Paris where I am launching Fenty Maison .” We don’t know how we’ve gotten things so wrong/. Like many of us, one Twitter user was horrified that we’ve been sullying the legend’s name for so long. They tweeted, “so we’ve been pronouncing Rihanna’s name wrong this whole time.” Meanwhile, the Brits ( who are trying to claim our q...

When it comes to denim trends, rises continue to get higher and higher. While lengths of nine inches and over (from inseam to waistline) are considered “high-waisted,” a crop of even higher waistlines (we’re talking 12.5 inches, here) has begun to pervade the zeitgeist. AGOLDE denim’s “ pinch-waist jeans ” are a particularly iconic (and perpetually sold-out) example of the trend, which you’re sure to see everywhere this summer—if you haven’t already spotted it cropping up, that is. The ’90s-inspired pinch-waist style is comprised entirely of ultra-rigid cotton denim (read: zero stretch whatsoever), and is characterized by its strikingly rid-grazing rise (that has a slim fit and straight legs, to boot). This on-trend silhouette is basically the perfect fit for vintage fiends who’ve been hopelessly digging through thrift store bins to find something similar for years. What’s nice? The 2019 take on this very ’90s trend is figure-flattering—and much easier to come by. No more perusing ...
