Geoff Kim, Courtesy of the Brands Geoff Kim South Korea has quietly become Hollywood’s biggest competitor, churning out wildly popular music, TV dramas, and beauty and fashion trends with global appeal. This week, ELLE celebrates the K-World we’re all living in. You could say South Korea has had an influence on global pop culture, but

How many nights have you spent counting sheep in a bid to fall asleep quickly for once? Same. We’ve all been there, but apparently it might not just be because we’ve got a million and one things on our minds, but because of a legit condition: delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS). Dr Jess Andrade, an

Lizzo has broken down in tears following the onslaught of racist and fat-phobic abuse she’s received after dropping her new track ‘Rumours‘ with Cardi B.

Since reaching the dizzy heights of fame with One Direction, Harry Styles has carved a unique solo career out of music, winning a Grammy for his single ‘Watermelon Sugar‘; acting, including his newest role in My Policeman alongside Emma Corrin; and fashion, as one of the stylish men, ever. Naturally, when rumours began to circulate

It would be fair to say that there’s a lot of opinion out there on digital birth control app Natural Cycles, which recently received FDA approval to launch ‘wearable’ contraceptives.

The Lambda Coronavirus variant is believed to have come from Peru, where cases seem to be subsiding, but the UK is playing close attention to the strain since it’s hitting South America hard, and could potentially be more transmissible than the Delta variant.

Kourtney Kardashian has chopped her hair into a shoulder-skimming lob, and now we want to chop off our hair into a shoulder-skimming lob. It comes after the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star let her boyfriend Travis Barker cut her previously waist-length hair whilst in quarantine. While it wasn’t revealed why the pair had to

I think we can all agree that you don’t always need a partner in the bedroom to achieve the level of satisfaction you’re looking for. To put it bluntly, sex with someone else isn’t the be all and end all – in fact, we’re big fans of going solo with sex toys. Think bullet vibrators,

The erratic British weather has well and truly outdone itself lately: one minute it’s pure blue skies, the next it’s torrential rain and darkness at midday. We all know the science behind seasonal affective disorder (SAD), but it turns out these sorts of short-lived changes in the weather also take a toll on our physical

The shoes Kobe Bryant wore for his VERY FIRST NBA game can now be yours — if you got half a milli lying around — ’cause the iconic kicks are hitting the auction block! The Black Mamba arrived on the scene for the L.A. Lakers on November 3, 1996, against the Minnesota Timberwolves … going

Four times a year, my mother, grandmother and I would make the pilgrimage from Buckinghamshire to the East London Black hair shops. Growing up, Afro-Caribbean cosmetics were confined to specialist shops in multi-cultural areas meaning that for those of us that lived outside of big cities, something as basic as finding appropriate shampoo for our

Last month, content creator and influencer Em Sheldon met with the Parliamentary Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee (DCMS). There, she told MPs about the “dark spaces of the internet”, on forum sites like Tattle Life, where “grown women with children” target influencers, bloggers and other public figures with relentless abuse. Some of her peers,

Rihanna‘s fashion show nearly got a musical artist decapitated, because they played the wrong version of a song at a fashion show … this according to a new lawsuit. Rihanna’s Fenty brand is being sued by a musician who claims RiRi’s company reached out to use one of her songs during a Savage X Fenty

My most used and loved beauty products weren’t love at first sight. It wasn’t the spenny serum that had been stewing in “add to cart” for months, or the hair mask on my pay day wish list or even the inspo being hoarded in my Instagram saved list. It’s those “oooohhh” moments when a product

When it comes to closets, Paris Hilton is unmatched. The Hollywood style icon is giving ELLE a tour of her hottest pieces on Clothes of Our Lives, from her biggest splurge, to her top Y2k picks, and her favorite ’fit to cook with, as seen on Cooking With Paris. This content is created and maintained

When it comes to “Instagram” brands that have achieved cult status almost solely through influencer adoration, LA-based Reformation is the OG. It was founded back in 2009 and has spent the past decade-and-a-bit garnering an army of die-hard celebrity fans – from Kendall Jenner and Meghan Markle to Hailey Bieber, Taylor Swift and Adele. But

A bed without a pillow is like trying to fall asleep on a plank of wood – no matter how good your mattress, mattress topper and bedding is (sorry). In comparison, sleeping with a neck pillow is comparable to snoozing on a cloud. So dreamy. My search for the best pillows for neck pain came

Erica Mena is copping to ruining some of Safaree‘s property, but says she only went HAM after finding out he was sleeping around … allegedly. According to new legal docs obtained by TMZ … the ‘Love & Hip Hop’ star admits she damaged her now estranged husband’s personal items toward the end of her pregnancy,

If you’re someone that menstruates, chances are you’ll be all too familiar with some of the dreaded physical side effects that come with periods. Because as if trying to address the actual bleeding isn’t enough, there can also be PMS (which can entail bloating, mood swings and tender boobs), cramping, back pain, nausea, diarrhoea and

The order of your skincare routine can be confusing, admits beauty entrepreneur and skincare founder Tina Chen Craig. “After you cleanse, there was always this confusion, when do I use my retinol? When do I use my vitamin C? When do I use my multi hydroxy acids or peptides? I mean so much confusion, right?”

Since cutting my hip-length hair off some two years ago now, I’ve become more adventurous when it comes to styling my locks. Before, the weight of my long tresses would mean that anything other than straightening was nearly impossible – I’d finish curling one strand and by the time I got to the next it

The L.A. penthouse once owned by the founders of Mattel — and the makers of Barbie — is hitting the market for someone else to live and play inside … and it’s going for a bundle. The 3-bed, 3-bath condo in the luxurious Century Towers is about to list for just under $10 million after

They say mama knows best, and in Kaia Gerber’s case, her mama, Cindy Crawford, definitely knows a thing or two about serving up some truly delicious hair inspo, what with being a ’90s supermodel, NBD. Since trends are cyclical – and the nineties was known for its next level blow dries – it makes sense

In more recent years, conversations surrounding sexual violence, street harassment and the safety of women, non-binary people and female-presenting people in public spaces have been forced to the fore. This was particularly the case following the rape and murder of Sarah Everard in March 2021 by a member of the Metropolitan Police, after which it

For some, Sabyasachi is not yet a household name. For 4.7 million Instagram followers, however, he’s an international sensation. The Indian fashion designer is known for his rich textiles, bridalwear, high-end jewelry, and a distinct aesthetic that beautifully weaves traditional silhouettes and techniques with a modern sensibility. Now, the Kolkata-born talent is bringing his vision

Now, I know what you’re thinking: New Look wouldn’t usually be your first port of call when it comes to clothes shopping. Believe me, until I actually gave it a chance again and started browsing the its “new in” section, I wasn’t convinced either. It’s no shade to New Look, but I had always thought

Barack Obama had more than enough face masks on hand for his birthday party guests this past weekend — custom ones at that — but it’s clear a lot weren’t put to good use. 44’s been taking a ton of heat these past few days for throwing himself a huge bash on Martha’s Vineyard, where

In an unsettling turn of events, Jesy Nelson has deleted all her posts on Instagram, unfollowed everyone on the platform, and replaced her display pic with a pinky-red circle. She has totally wiped her account clean – except for her 8.2 million followers, naturally. Fans have been left wondering what on earth this all means.
