Margot Robbie Wears the Miniest Mini Dress—Because When in Italy
The actor and producer was photographed on the balcony of the Grand Hotel Parker's, the elegant and oldest hotel in the Italian city, enjoying the sun and swigging acqua frizzante. She wore a strapless mini dress with a colorful, embroidered elephant print and flat cream sandals. Robbie wore her long blonde hair with a slight wave, and in a middle part. She was joined by her husband Tom Ackerley.
The mini dress was a go-to silhouette for Robbie during the Barbie press tour, with looks that included a fiery a red custom Dilara Fındıkoğlu dress when promoting the film in London, and a custom-made hot pink and white halter-neck minidress by Valentino with a midriff cut-out that directly referenced supermodel Karen Mulder, who was dubbed the 'real-life Barbie' in her heyday. The elevated mini dress is a chill, one-and-done staple for the summer, with more than one way to go about it to fit it into your own personal style lexicon: think elegant shift dresses, easy linens, lacy slips, and more sporty numbers.
Across the summer so far, Robbie's vacation wardrobe has comprised of easy, breezy, chic ensembles: A semi-sheer maxi skirt, billowing palazzo pants, extra-large raffia beach bags, and black Alaïa mesh flats.

Rumors have been swirling that Robbie is tipped as the frontrunner for the leading role in the forthcoming reboot of the iconic '90s movie Basic Instinct, which originally starred Sharon Stone—a film with its own very famous mini dress moment… The original costumes were by veteran Hollywood costume designer Ellen Mirojnick (of Fatal Attraction, Showgirls, and Bridgerton), which revelled in luxurious fabrics, sensual tailoring, and icy, Hitchcockian color palettes. Imagine the Margot Robbie press tour wardrobe for that.

Yes, It's OK to Care More About Your Kid's Clothes Than Your Own
Among my friends, the reaction to Rihanna's sons Riot and RZA wearing custom Dior Homme on a recent red carpet fell into two camps: those aghast at the ludicrous spend on clothes the boys will surely grow out of in months, and those, like me, who wish we also had a direct line to Jonathan Anderson when our children need a special-occasion outfit. I kid, somewhat—and anyway, Rihanna was probably gifted the bespoke looks. But what fascinated me most about the debate over the boys' Dior was who took what side. The mothers in the chat? They were almost uniformly swooning over the tiny, double-breasted blazer and skinny pink tie. You'd think it would be the opposite—that being a parent would force you to confront how dangerous it is to put a child into white shorts (white anything, really); how many fruit snacks it would take to coax your newly mobile toddler into a jacket, wherever it came from. But I'll take the liberty of speaking for parents here: Yes, we are aware…but sometimes, we do it anyway. While Rihanna herself was similarly resplendent on that carpet, dressed in a Saint Laurent gown with an olive green sash, I'd venture to say that most parents I know plan their children's outfits with far more meticulous care than their own, even for major events. But why, you may ask, when kids barely fit into clothes for a season, and—perhaps more importantly—they are mostly oblivious to labels (unless it's the itchy kind)? For one thing, anyone who has given birth knows that in the post-partum months, none of your own clothes fit. Your breasts are swollen to one, two, maybe even three cup sizes larger than what you normally wear. Regardless of what kind of birth you've had, you're sore somewhere down there, which makes soft pants a necessity, not just a preference. And, most likely, there's just … more of you. I'll head criticism off at the pass: yes, birth is miraculous. Yes, my body can do wonderful things, like growing a human. But, Christ, it kind of sucks when you can't fit into your favorite pair of baggy jeans months and months after delivery. And so, you hunt for a modicum of control in this new life, one made up of nursing bras and shirts perma-stained with breastmilk. This is not the moment for debating whether to buy into low-rise jeans (again)—but does that mean you're forbidden from caring about fashion? That because you're now raising a child, you're required to pay attention only to the big stuff, like sleep schedules and skin-to-skin? New parents, please read this sentence more than once: You are allowed to dress your baby however you damn well please.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner's role on ‘The Cosby Show' made him family to the Black community. They are mourning him as such
Some celebrity deaths hit the Black community differently. Such is the case with the passing of Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who died Sunday at age 54 in a drowning accident in Costa Rica, where he was on vacation with his family. Much like the unexpected deaths of Prince, Kobe Bryant and actor Chadwick Boseman, Warner's death is being met in much of the Black community by the type of deep grieving usually reserved for family members. And it feels completely appropriate. Almost from the beginning, the world seemed to know that Warner was special. A child actor who appeared on various series at a young age, he exploded into superstardom when he landed the role of Theo Huxtable as a young teen on 'The Cosby Show.' As is the case with any skilled actor, Warner made the audience forget he was playing a role. It felt to viewers like he was Theo, the sometimes mischievous, but always well-meaning third child of the Huxtable family. Warner stood out in the series with Bill Cosby, starring as the patriarch, and Phylicia Rashad as the matriarch, given that Warner played their characters' only son. Centered around an accomplished and loving Black family, the show became a cultural touchstone for many in Generation X, especially young Black people. Off screen, Warner managed to sidestep the pitfalls and scandals that so many child stars face. After 'The Cosby Show' ended in 1992, Warner went on to other beloved series, including 'Malcom & Eddie,' 'The Resident' and '9-1-1,' an impressive career transition for any actor who has grown up on television. If his success is also measured in esteem from colleagues, Warner had that in excess. Fellow actors and former costars such as Morris Chestnut, who worked with Warner on 'The Resident,' Tracee Ellis Ross, who costarred with him on 'Reed Between the Lines,' and Eddie Griffin, who starred opposite Warner in the sitcom 'Malcolm & Eddie,' have expressed shock and grief over Warner's unexpected death. 'This loss has devastated me,' Warner's 'Community' costar Yvette Nicole Brown shared on social media. 'I don't have the words right now, so I am repurposing these beautiful ones from my dear friend, who I adored,' she wrote in sharing a video of Warner. 'To have him as a friend was a blessing from God. He was one of one.' That sentiment was shared by many. 'The death of Malcolm-Jamal Warner represents a significant cultural loss for the industry and Black audiences, in particular,' Samantha Sheppard, an associate professor of cinema and media studies at Cornell University, told CNN. 'Warner's career is indelibly linked to a program that reshaped the representation of Black middle-class life on network television.' ''The Cosby Show' and its cast have long existed in the shadow of Bill Cosby's widely publicized sexual assault allegations, which have complicated and, in many respects, eclipsed public memory of the show's cultural contributions,' she added. 'This eclipse has too often obscured Warner's evolution as an actor and artist following his years on the popular sitcom, including his work as a poet, musician, and versatile actor across a range of sitcoms and dramas.' Warner reflected on his multifacited career in a 2013 conversation with the Television Academy Foundation. 'I have peace of mind and for me, you can't put a price on that,' Warner said at the time. 'I can definitely say that I feel successful in my post-Cosby life.' Part of that peace was found in the love of his wife and young daughter, who have largely avoided the glare of celebrity life. In a conversation on the'Hot & Bothered with Melyssa Ford' podcast in May, Warner reflected on his 2017 wedding and wanting to build a family with his spouse. 'I've never, never second-guessed it,' Warner said of his marriage. 'There was a moment where I realized when people say, 'When you know, you know,' that's what that feeling is.' He also discussed understanding the importance of legacy, noting that his mother had once told him that 'Mr. [Bill] Cosby gave you immortality.' 'I feel like, okay, there's that legacy there, but then, because I've had this full life after that show, there's another lane of legacy that I get to leave,' Warner reflected. He was clear about how he wanted to remembered. 'There's part of me that I will be able to leave this earth knowing, and people knowing, that I was a good person,' Warner said. It was no act, which is why his community mourns so deeply for the man who was so much more than Theo.
