Jennifer Lopez is a straight up beauty Queen. Alongside some incredible makeup moments (who could forgot the glamorous bridal makeup she wore for the American Music Awards??), she constantly serves epic hair looks.

Blockchain-enabled digital fashion creates new business models for brands
Nonfungible tokens (NFT) may be disrupting the trillion-dollar fashion industry, but NFTs are just one piece of a much larger puzzle that is revolutionizing this sector. Rather, blockchain technology as a whole continues to be a game-changer for the fashion industry. While blockchain-based supply chains served as some of the earliest use cases of how the technology could help detect fraudulent items, digital wearables being built on blockchain networks are now coming to play. Megan Kaspar, co-founder and managing director of Magnetic — a privately held crypto and blockchain investment and incubation firm — told Cointelegraph that digital fashion is

Dinesh Sivakumar Padmavathi and Janaganandhini Ramaswamy from Tamil Nadu, where wedding gatherings are currently limited to 100 people, have invited 2,000 people to their virtual reception next month. And as self-professed “Potterheads,” or fans of Harry Potter, the pair have opted for a Hogwarts-themed party that guests can attend via their phones, tablets or laptops. “Because of the pandemic, a physical, real kind of reception is not possible with the

Shopping for Side Tables – The New York Times
Side tables are among the smallest pieces of furniture, but they make a big difference in the way a room looks. “They’re like the bags and shoes of your outfit,” said Poonam Khanna, an architect who founded the Brooklyn-based studio Unionworks. “They’re accessories that are very important.” Just as knockout shoes can enhance the look of simple clothing, interesting side tables can add visual appeal to an otherwise understated interior, whether you choose clean-lined ones made from beautiful materials or tables with sculptural forms or unexpected colors. Of course, it’s not only about how they look. Side tables also

How digital fashion, the metaverse, and NFTs could change the fashion industry
In 2008, I purchased my first digital outfit. I gave little thought to the significance of my decision.

The game’s objective was to embark on a heroic adventure, and our virtual avatars had to be properly equipped for the journey. That meant swords, shields, capes, and all sorts of fantastical attire. The most eye-catching virtual clothes and accessories cost actual cash, not in-game money, which I would buy with allowance money from my parents. The individual items were available for purchase
