Over the past few months, we’ve introduced you to a plethora of lingerie and underwear trends. You might not have known that cage underwear is a thing and string undergarments are popular again, but when we spot a “complicated” or interesting lingerie trend we’re here to share it. Today we’re adding to the list and showing you the latest trend to spark our attention. Enter naked underwear, well let’s not limit it to underwear we’ve also seen the look designed on bras as well.

So what exactly is naked underwear? Just what you’re picturing, lingerie made to have an illusion of looking bare, barely there or see-through. This can be through mesh lining or embellishments with slivers of “naked” details. Popular lingerie brands like Fleur du Mal and For Love & Lemons are leading the pack designing styles like the Georgi panties and below Lili thong. Enough with the explanation, scroll down to see the newest undergarments trend to hit the lingerie world.

Brigitte Macron may not be French royalty, but she looked every bit the princess for a state dinner at Versailles on Wednesday night. The president and first lady of France hosted a dinner for Japan’s Crown Prince, and one element of Macron’s outfit happened to follow a British royal outfit rule: her nude tights. Once Meghan Markle became a duchess, she started wearing nude tights to adhere to the royal protocol for more formal occasions. CNN royal expert Victoria Arbiter explained the guidelines to Insider.

“You never see a royal without their nude stockings,” Arbiter said. “I would say that’s really the only hard, steadfast rule in terms of what the queen requires.”

Although Markle has opted out of nude tights for less formal affairs, they remain a part of her duchess wardrobe. Of course, the definition of nude is different for everyone, which is why we’ve spotlighted brands like Heist that make seven different shades so you can find your match. Scroll down to see how Macron and Markle wear nude tights and to shop the look for yourself.

Fashion month always has one dangerous side effect: It makes us want to shop. And we’re not just talking about the clothes on the runway, as the street style set is usually the group that determines whether items will become cult pieces or not. We are only a few days into New York Fashion Week (the first on the monthlong schedule), there are a number of items that have already emerged as new hero buys for fall. There’s Staud’s new It dress, the new designer handbag name to know, and Shrimp’s new beaded beauty. Keep scrolling through the gallery below for this season’s ultimate street style shopping list.

Is your office throwing a Halloween bash during or after work? Are you allowed to dress up in disguise on or around October 31 rather than showing up in your typical workwear? Then there is just one simple thing to keep in mind: Make sure your costume is work-appropriate, because even if your office is down with Halloween, it’s super important to keep it SFW (safe for work). That means it may be wise to skip the slightly more risqué, skin-baring, and gory outfits and makeup, instead opting for something that is more, well, HR-friendly.

Need some help with creative costume ideas for work? Then you’re in luck because below, we’ve curated a list of 19 Halloween looks to try if you’re unsure about how to dress up. You’ll find one of the most popular and, quite frankly, easiest looks to put together. (Sneak preview: Where’s Waldo only requires a striped red shirt, a pair of round glasses, and a red pom-pom.) And if you’re a movie buff, you’ll find plenty of characters costume ideas as well, from a trendy take on Harry Potter to the super-adorable Boo from Monsters, Inc. As you can see, we tried covering it all in the realm of easy, fun, but work-appropriate Halloween costumes to try. Ready to see what we found? Then read on for our office-friendly costume edit.

Next up, check out nine awesome under-$50 Halloween costume ideas.

Elon Musk’s fleet of all-electric Teslas may be brimming with advanced technology—and some old-school Atari games—but the same can’t be said about the vehicles’ security systems. 

Case in point: A team of researchers at Belgium’s KU Leuven university have discovered a way to hack any Tesla Model S key fob and retrieve its cryptographic code in under two seconds using just $600 worth of gadgets. 

From there, they can simply unlock the car and drive off. Wired has further details on the preparation needed to perform the hack.

The researchers found that once they gained two codes from any given key fob, they could simply try every possible cryptographic key until they found the one that unlocked the car.

They then computed all the possible keys for any combination of code pairs to create a massive, 6-terabyte table of pre-computed keys.

With that table and those two codes, the hackers say they can look up the correct cryptographic key to spoof any key fob in just 1.6 seconds.

In addition to a portable hard drive containing a table of all possible key codes, all the researchers needed was a Yard Stick One radio, a Proxmark radio and a little hacker know-how to boost the EV, as demonstrated in the video below:  

Wired has further details on how the process works: 

First, they use the Proxmark radio to pick up the radio ID of a target Tesla’s locking system, which the car broadcasts at all times. Then the hacker swipes that radio within about 3 feet of a victim’s key fob, using the car’s ID to spoof a “challenge” to the fob.

They do this twice in rapid succession, tricking the key fob into answering with response codes that the researchers then record. They can then run that pair of codes through their hard drive’s table to find the underlying secret key—which lets them spoof a radio signal that unlocks the car, then starts the engine.

The KU Leuven team says the Model S is hackable because its keyless entry system, which is built by manufacturer Pektron, uses weak encryption. KU Leuven researcher Tomer Ashur sure didn’t sugar coat his analysis of the issue. 

“It was a very foolish decision,” Ashur told Wired. “Someone screwed up. Epically.”

The researchers were paid a $10,000 “bug bounty” when they presented their findings to Tesla in August of 2017, but the fix didn’t come until June of 2018. 

“Based on the research presented by this group, we worked with our supplier to make our key fobs more secure by introducing more robust cryptography for Model S in June 2018,” a Tesla spokesperson wrote to Wired. “A corresponding software update for all Model S vehicles allows customers with cars built prior to June to switch to the new key fobs if they wish.”

For Model S owners who don’t want to pay for the new fob, Tesla just rolled out an optional “Pin to Drive” feature requires an additional code to be entered that prevents hackers from operating the car. 

But seriously, what’s the price of a set of keys when you’ve already paid $75,000 for a luxury ride? 

Apple’s yearly unveiling of new phones and gadgets just happened in California and the tech giant is enticing people to upgrade their current phones by expanding on the success and style of last year’s buttonless iPhone X. Feast your eyes on the iPhone XS, the iPhone XS Max and the iPhone XR. 

iPhone XS and XS Max

Pronounced 10 S (not like “excess”), the new cornerstone of Apple’s iPhone lineup is here. Based very closely off of last year’s X model, the XS and the pumped up version, the XS Max, seem to be bringing all the conventions of the buttonless iPhone into the future. The XS has a 5.8” screen and the Max has a 6.5” display but manages it in a smaller form factor than previous “plus size” versions like the 8 Plus. 

The guts here have been bumped up with a new, faster chipset that offers more power for normal tasks and faster FaceID facial recognition that’s also being touted as more secure than what was in the original iPhone X. Coming in the same space gray and silver flavors, Apple is also adding a gold option for the new phones as well as a new 512GB capacity option. 

The new phones add extra battery life over last year’s X (30 minutes for the Xs, 90 minutes for the Max) and bump the camera specs up to dual 12 megapixel for shooting gorgeous pics. Coming in 128, 256 and 512GB, the Xs will retail starting at $999 and the Xs Max will retail starting at $1,099. Pre-orders for these monsters start this friday, September 14th and will get to customers starting September 21st.

iPhone XR

Apple is doing away with last year’s iPhone 8 too, opting instead for another new, buttonless model that scales back the power and the price. Called the iPhone XR, Apple has again taken the iPhone X formula and changed things around to make it more accessible. 

The XR looks familiar with its notch and wall-to-wall screen but builds it all on an aluminum chassis. Other specs include a 6.1” screen, FaceID for security, a single camera setup (so don’t expect to get the same gorgeous DSLR style pics you’d see of the dual cameras in the XS) and the same A12 chipset as the other phones. 

The iPhone XR does seem to have an emphasis on style, coming in six colors as you can see in the image above. Available in 64, 128 and 256GB options, the XR has a starting retail of $749. Pre-orders start October 19th with the phone making it to customers’ hands on October 26th. 

Apple Watch 4th Generation

According to Apple, their Apple Watch isn’t just the most popular smart watch in the world, it’s the most popular watch overall. If that’s true then, chances are, you’re pretty familar with the way the Apple Watch looks and works already. 

Apple hasn’t done anything drastic for the 4th generation Apple Watch, a disappointment since fans were hoping for a major redesign with a more traditional, circular watch face. Instead, the 4th Gen will have a smaller bezel, more options for displaying new complications and some new health sensors…and it’ll be $499.
