Hautelemode Youtube : BAFTAs 2021 FASHION ROAST (I Can’t Keep Calm Or Carry On With These Ugly Looks)

The BAFTAs or British Academy of Film and Television Arts Award show was held both in person and digitally this year. It’s interesting to see these hybrid award shows come together, as it definitely creates red carpet styles vs more editorial images! Except Andra Day, she had her own step and repeat and I loved it!

Big actors like Renee Zellweger and Regina King unfortunately disappointed in some of the bigger luxury brands like Armani & Christian Dior. But new faces on the red carpet like Kosher Ali & Kingsley Ben-Adir killed it in Alexander McQueen Dior Men respectively! Leslie Odom Jr. gave us something to think about in Versace, while Priyanka Chopra also opted for multiple looks in Ronald van Der Kemp & Pertegaz!

Hautelemode Youtube : Fashion Critic Reacts to UGLY Say Yes To The Dress Bridesmaids (burn it all)

Say Yes To The Dress is always a favorite of mine, it’s usually heartwarming, happy, and filled with just enough drama. But Say Yes To The Dress Bridesmaids is my guilty pleasure because it’s filled with pettiness and ugly dresses!

Hautelemode Youtube : Fashion Critic Reacts to Tik Tok Thrift Flip Fashion

Tik Tok has without a doubt become one of my favorite, and most addicting habits since the Covid-19 quarantine hit! Although, I was lowkey using it before that. But getting to see the fashion community growing on the app, which is promoting conversations about sustainability, luxury brands, and fashion history is really cool.

Today’s video focuses on creators that have been up cycling thrifted or second hand garments into items that are either cooler or more wearable, which is really cool to see. Of course, with climate change and other issues like this becoming more and more apparent, fashion has been saying it wants to transition away from wasteful practices. Some of this is definitely just greenwashing, but some brands are really finding their voices through these ethical practices.

But there’s a whole other side of people, who aren’t solely designers or make a living off of fashion that are creating and up cycling garments into styles that are unique and super cute. I think it’s important to see that you don’t have to be a luxury brand to incorporate sustainable or upcycled pieces into your wardrobe!
