I'm a 2021 Bride, and I'm Dreaming of These Wedding Dresses Coming Next Year

During these rare and unprecedented times, so many brides are left scrambling, wondering whether or not it makes sense to postpone their weddings or elope. Should they cancel their wedding-dress appointments or rather schedule a virtual one? My planned wedding date is not until May 2021, but there is no denying the fact that social distancing will remain the norm for a while, and the idea of my wedding dress (a big, important detail for a lot of brides!) remains just that: an idea.

"A wedding stands for hope and trust. Two values we need now."

Some fashion houses have decided to present an extended 2021 collection in October, forgoing the release of a Spring 2021 lineup altogether. But others are slowly providing assets - Oscar de la Renta shared this sketch by artist Tamas Haizer, a sneak peek at a bridal look to come sometime soon - because dreaming is still doable.

"In this difficult time we think it's important to dream. A wedding stands for hope and trust. Two values we need now," Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren stated in their press release for the Viktor & Rolf Spring 2021 Mariage gowns, which are inspired by classical gardens.

I'm the first person to agree that a wedding ceremony is a symbol of marriage, and the marriage itself is what sticks - dresses, flowers, shoes, and cakes, these are all just details. Just the comfort of knowing that your partner will be there down the line might allow you to open your mind to the idea of dreaming about the little things - and a wedding dress is a fine place to start.

I'm already starting to get a sense of the trends that are coming for the 2021 bride. While we have yet to see so many gowns that will be released next year, these are the ones inspiring my vision as the days go on.

In Inspiring News, Tommy Hilfiger Will Donate 10,000 White T-Shirts to Healthcare Workers

Tommy Hilfiger is one of the latest designers to join in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic and help healthcare workers who are on the front lines during this unprecedented time. In inspiring news, the iconic American designer is planning on donating more than 10,000 classic white T-shirts to support public health efforts in both the United States and Europe. The T-shirts will be beneficial to healthcare workers who are caring for COVID-19 patients because their personal protective equipment tends to get warm and causes them to change shirts up to three times a shift.

The designer is also planning on launching a capsule of limited-edition white T-shirts and sweatshirts, for which all proceeds will be donated to COVID-19 global relief efforts. The collection will be designed in collaboration with consumers and fans who can vote for their favorite designs on both Tommy Hilfiger and Tommy Jeans's Instagram accounts until April 30. The winning styles will be available for purchase in May on the brand's website. As for price points, the T-shirt will sell for $54 and sweatshirts will cost $109. Keep reading to get a closer look at the T-shirts that will be donated and check out Tommy's social media platforms for more updates.

10 Shoe Brands That Are Just As Popular Now as They Were in the '90s

It's been more than 20 years since the '90s came to a close, and yet we're more obsessed than ever with the decade. Our fashion has never felt more influenced by the trends that ruled so many years ago than it does now. Pretty much every look we're obsessed with lately seems to have '90s roots: baggy jeans, cute cardigans, slip dresses, tube tops, bucket hats, platforms, chunky sandals. We could keep going . . .

On the topic of shoe trends, it dawned on us that so many of our current favorites - of the sneakers, sandal, and boot variety - are from specific brands, including New Balance, Reebok, Adidas, Dr. Martens, Converse, and Nike. All of these labels were hugely popular in the '90s, whether it was a cult-loved combat boot, hip high-top, or time-honored trainer. So, we thought it'd be fun to roundup some of the most popular '90s shoe brands that are still totally on-trend today! Plus, we're shopping out some of the most beloved styles, which range from clean and classic to a little more fashion-forward and, of course, retro-inspired.

Keep scrolling for the shoe brands that made our top-ten list and shop your favorites; most of these come in under $100!

Today We Learned Billy Porter's Meme-Ready, Mechanical Hat Was Inspired By Billie Eilish

As the saying goes, great minds think alike - perhaps more so when they share the same name. In a recent virtual appearance on The Tonight Show, Billy Porter revealed that the inspiration behind his meme-ready, mechanical hat at the 2020 Grammys had actually been inspired by Billie Eilish.

"It came about because when we were at the American Music Awards, I was right behind Billie Eilish on the red carpet, and she was wearing this Gucci veil. It was so cute," Billy told Jimmy Fallon. (It's worth noting that Billie's veil that evening was actually by Burberry, but she would later go on to wear a Gucci face mask to the Grammys.) Though Billy loved the look, he was hesitant because, "I'm never wearing something that covers up my face. I've waited too long for this moment. Folks need to see my face."

"Somebody's gotta do it."

That's when his stylist, Sam Ratelle, offered a perfect solution: "What if the veil opened and closed electronically?" And thus, the retractible fringe hat was born from Sarah Sokol Millinery. Billy added, "Somebody's gotta do it." Watch Billy reflect on the memorable red carpet moment ahead, and then browse a few photos of both the look and its original inspiration.
