On Monday, Warner Bros. and DC announced that Birds of Prey, Margot Robbie’s Suicide Squad spinoff where she reprises her role as Harley Quinn, is set to open in theaters February 7, 2020.

Details of the plot are still under wraps, but what we do know is that the movie will focus on Harley Quinn as she pulls together a team of superheroes—including Huntress, Renee Montoya, and Black Canary, and Cassandra Cain—to go up against a villain who still remains unnamed.

Plus, we know this won’t be aimed at kids, because Robbie confirmed it’ll have an R-rating. 

Though no other casting has been announced yet, The Hollywood Reporter says A Wrinkle in Time‘s Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Underground‘s Jurnee Smolett-Bell, and Hidden Figures star Janelle Monae are some of the actresses being considered to play Black Canary, and for Huntress, the studio is testing The Leftovers‘ Margaret Qualley, 10 Cloverfield Lane‘s Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Cristin Milioti from How I Met Your Mother. 

Birds of Prey starts shooting in 2019 and will be directed by Cathy Yan. The script was written by Christina Hodson, making it a fully female-centric motion picture all around—though it will have a “much smaller budget” than other DC films.

In May 2018 Robbie told Collider in an interview that it was crucial for the film to have “a female director to tell that story,” and that it’s important to give a woman “the chance to do big budget stuff.” Luckily, all of that is finally happening. 

Birds of Prey will hit theaters just three months after Joaquin Phoenix makes his debut as The Joker, meaning those few months are going to be pretty epic for DC fans.

Despite the fact that lingerie trends seem to be all the rage these days, I’ve somehow found myself utterly unable to relate. Whether it’s a bra trend, new thong style, or anything else really, if it strays too far outside the box of my classic favorites, it’s likely not to be for me.

Much like in my day-to-day fashion choices (aside from the rare exception), I like to stick to the simple things and figured some of you might too. So, today I’ve rounded up the best essential classic lingerie styles I think every woman should own regardless of their take on fads, but especially if, like me, they’re more trend-averse. From bra styles to underwear, to the fun part—extras—see and shop my picks in each category below.

It’s officially Libra season and as a true (and I mean true) Libra myself, there’s only been one thing on my mind—my birthday dress. To be completely honest, I don’t even know what I’m doing for my birthday yet, but that’s never stopped me from buying a dress to ring in another year of life in before, and 2018 is no different. If you’re anything like me (which I’m assuming you are if you’re a Libra), checking the “birthday dress” task off your list of things to do will have you feeling 10 times less stressed. Because let’s be real, planning a birthday kind of throws a wrench in your balanced little life and that just won’t do. 

Ahead, I have rounded up 20 dresses that were basically made to be the ultimate Libra birthday outfit. From sequins to feathers and back again, the selection ahead will have you feeling inspired to plan the best birthday of your life—or at least one that will get you your best birthday Instagram picture yet.

While New York girls undoubtedly pride themselves for having their own unique sense of style, there’s no denying that when there’s a good trend that suits the NYC aesthetic, they all embrace it. A couple of years ago, the bell-sleeve top trend was so wildly popular among NYC fashion insiders that we were starting to think it would never fizzle. But lo and behold, fizzle it did. Since bell-sleeve tops reached their peak some time ago, NYC girls are turning to other top styles to pair with their jeans, trousers, skirts, and shorts. While we’ll be ready when the flattering trend inevitably returns, we must admit that we won’t miss the hassle of dealing with the wide sleeves when, say, eating. (The struggle was very real.)

To prove our point, we’ve gathered a number of examples from the fashion-insider crowd at the most recent NYFW wearing anything but bell sleeves. Check out the five top styles they’re wearing instead, and shop our favorite ones on the market for yourself.

When it comes to choosing a wedding dress, It trends perhaps only play a small part in the decision-making on such a personal, special garment.

And no one is better equipped to speak to the least and the most popular wedding dresses better than the experts below.

Gathering insight from bridal buyers and store owners, we were able to deduce that, when it comes to wedding day style, many brides are forgoing over-the-top fussiness for designs that are more understated and practical, even.
