Buckle up your rhinestone belt, dust off your fringe jacket and slip into your hot pink cowboy boots, because westernwear is getting the Barbie treatment.

We’ve all seen the pictures by now. When filming the upcoming live-action Barbie film, Margot Robbie (who plays the titular doll) was photographed in a hot pink ‘80s-style cowboy outfit, complete with a paisley bandana and metallic star detailing. The look went viral and now we all want to channel cowgirl Barbie this summer.

The vibrant aesthetic takes the character’s iconic hot-pink hyper-femininity and applies it to traditional cowboy get up like fringe, leather belts and flared pants. But don’t be fooled by its name — anyone, masculine or feminine, can participate in the trend. To see it come to life, look no further than the Calgary Stampede. Running until July 17, the festival is like Canada’s very own western wear runway. And this year, elements of Barbiecore could be seen in the crowds. Attendees are sporting sparkly stetsons, brightly coloured cowboy boots, glitter makeup and hot pink-lined bikinis.

The cowgirl Barbie look is gaining attention thanks to the hype surrounding the film (set to be released in 2023). But people have been reimagining traditional cowboy imagery for years. Cowboy aesthetics have been going mainstream for some time now, with country-style boots and hats becoming a staple of TikTok #OOTDs, not just rodeos. Not to mention, Lil Nas X has brought genderfluid cowboy fashion to our feeds since his 2019 hit single Old Town Road. Other stars have put their own stylized spin on the traditional country look in recent years, from Harry Styles to Lizzo to Cardi B.

While we may have come to expect Lil Nas X in a hot pink cowboy costume on the red carpet, this aesthetic is a radical shift from the cowboys of yore. In mainstream media, western styles have historically been dominated by the heterosexual white male cowboy archetype. But as hyperfeminine aesthetics like hot pink and sparkles take over the trend, cowboy fashion is now a tool for experimental personal style.

Western fashion has officially gone alternative (or should we say… y’allternative?), and cowboys and Barbies now live harmoniously together.

Get ready to dress like Barbie this summer! Thanks to Margot Robbie, who will be playing Barbie in an upcoming live-action film, the cartoon character’s signature style is having a moment. Westernwear is getting a Barbie makeover, with lots of hot pink, fringe, and cowboy boots. The character’s hyper-femininity is being applied to traditionally masculine items like leather belts and flared pants. Anyone can participate in the trend, regardless of gender.

Cowboy culture has typically been represented by a heterosexual white male archetype, but in recent years, that has begun to change.

With warm weather in full swing, it’s the perfect time to have fun with fashion and embrace new summer trends. Thankfully, Nordstrom is making that even easier for fashion lovers with its annual and much-anticipated Anniversary Sale.

From July 15th to the 31st, shoppers can buy brand new items at limited-time low prices both in-store and online. Featured brands include Rag & Bone, Hugo Boss and Charlotte Tilbury along with a few new additions like Mini Boden and Naked Wardrobe. Items will be available for men, women and kids under every category including beauty (special shout-out to our Estee Lauder and MAC lovers). They even have stylists on the floor available to offer quick and free fashion advice and help you build out a whole new wardrobe.

Along with the sale, Nordstrom will also host an in-store daily happy hour from 2:30-5:00 p.m. from July 14th to the 31st, which will include a menu of drinks and light bites at specialty pricing in their various locations. They’ll also host 18 days of beauty events both in-store and online; on July 16th will be an in-store celebration of all-things beauty featuring special offers, gifts with purchase, samples and makeup tutorials.

Ready to start shopping and elevate your summer wardrobe? We chatted with Stefanie Lowe, an in-house stylist at Nordstrom, for her take on this season’s hottest trends plus easy tips on how to make them your own.

Cut-outs

From tops and dresses to shoes, cut-outs are all the rage this summer. Whether you’d like to rock an open back, an exposed side or a cheekier stomach reveal (show off those abs), you can make this trend your own by looking for cut-out pieces that you feel confident in.

“We’re seeing cut-outs on the back, the side, the neckline, the shoulder, even on shoes and activewear. It’s super fun,” says Lowe. “My tip? Keep your accessories minimal and let the cut-out do the talking. Keep everything super simple, down to your hair and makeup.”

Patterns + Textures

Summer is the perfect time to make bolder fashion choices and this season, it’s all about vivid patterns and textured pieces. Luckily for you, the one-of-a-kind Nordstrom Anniversary Sale features a wide variety of vibrant pieces that you can mix and match into eye-catching looks.

“We’re seeing lots of texture and loud prints shine through; think faux leather or more retro patterns,” says Lowe. “You can dive in loudly with bold matching sets, or you can make a nod to this trend by incorporating single pieces into your look. Either way, being bold is an absolute must. Don’t be afraid to take risks, then you can accept all the compliments.”

So, go for a loudly patterned dress or jumpsuit or a certain texture from head to toe (hello, faux leather matching set), or you can pair a bolder piece with some denim and break it up.

White Shoes

Whether it’s sneakers, booties or a pair of pumps, white shoes are a staple in a summer wardrobe (and beyond if styled correctly). They’re the easiest way to tie together a look and have the power to fully dress it both up or down.

“Nothing screams fresh like a pair of white shoes. My two favourite choices are a white sneaker and a white cowboy boot,” says Lowe. “For an effortless look, wear your white sneakers with your dresses and trousers this summer. For a statement, rock a monochromatic look, pairing your white shoes with an all-white outfit.”

Denim

Skinny jeans are *finally* a thing of the past and now, there’s so much more room to play in the denim category, especially during the summertime. Whether you like a boot cut, flare, straight or a wide leg, these different cuts of denim are so versatile when it comes to styling different looks.

“Updating your denim for the season is the number one way to stay on-trend,” says Lowe. “I love styling straight leg denim with an oversized poplin shirt, either worn open over a tank or with a half tuck.”

Summer Suits

As we make our way back to the office, it’s the perfect time to level up your summer work looks and find the perfect office-friendly pieces that can transition into happy hour without a hitch. The key is to stay light and breezy. For both men and women, find suits and blazers made with lighter materials and colours for both summer and fall.

“I love a matching set. We are seeing a relaxed suit vibe all over street style. Consider a pleated trouser short with a relaxed shirt, blazer or even vest,” says Lowe. “Mix up these statement pieces with sneakers for a more unexpected approach to everyday dressing.”

Accessories Galore

Finally, the key to tying any look together is accessorizing. From sunglasses and jewellery to luxe timepieces and handbags, take advantage of The Anniversary Sale by looking for both summer statement pieces and more timeless accessories that you’ll be able to wear season after season.

“Sunglasses complete a look. What’s trending are geometric shapes—think hexagonal, rectangular or even square,” says Lowe. “Embrace the revival of nostalgic fashion with your accessories as well, and add a straw or trinket bag to your look.”

To simply call Violet Chachki the winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race season seven is a severe understatement. Yes, it may be where she got her start back in 2015, but since then, she has outgrown the franchise (sorry, Ru!) and found fame on a global scale. The glamazon is part model, part performer, part artist, part muse and 100 per cent herself at all times, as I discovered when we chatted on the phone. She is not afraid to call it as she sees it, hence her Queen B reputation. But in our conversation, I see the true Violet doesn’t take herself too seriously.

Because of her busy schedule, we weren’t able to Zoom, but if we had, I imagine I would’ve been treated to an outfit of epic proportions. Her combination of old Hollywood glamour and femme fatal fetishism has earned her a spot amongst the fashion glitterati. Besides being a front-row fixture at fashion week, Chachki was the first ever drag queen to front a lingerie campaign in 2017. She gave Marilyn Monroe a run for her money in Prada’s Fall 2018 film. She’s walked countless runways, including Moschino’s and Richard Quinn’s. And she’s one of the select few who have descended the Met Gala steps in full drag. Not only that but she’s also dipped her toe into the beauty, fragrance and music worlds and recently collaborated with Canada’s own Allie-X on a single.

In honour of her “A Lot More Me” tour coming to Canada (tickets for which are now on sale), starting in Montreal on July 22, FASHION chatted with Violet Chachki about her upcoming performances, the newest season of Drag Race, and owning who she really is.

I would be remiss if I first didn’t ask you about RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 7, the franchise’s latest season where previous show winners come back to compete for the ultimate crown. As the winner of season seven, did you ever get the call, and did you want to get the call?

For a minute, I wanted to get the call, but my opinion on whether I would actually go back on the show changes weekly. Sometimes I think, “Oh, it’d be so fun,” and other times I’m like, “That gives me so much anxiety and absolutely not” [laughs]. So my thoughts on being in an all-winners season constantly change.

In the online series Fashion Photo RuView, you and Gottmik critique the runway looks from the latest season of Drag Race. Recently, Raja’s (the season three winner and renowned “fashion queen”) fans have come after you for your negative reviews of some of her outfits. What is your take on the situation?

I love Raja! She’s definitely an icon but [this whole situation] is just so funny. I think fans singled her out because she was the one that started the show Fashion Photo RuView in 2014, and then [I came on] critiquing her, but that’s the whole point of the series! Many fans are pretty young and just really attached to these queens. So when someone comes in and critiques them, even if it is their job, people can get upset about it. I mean, I tried to be fair with all of my criticism, and it’d be boring [if I said] everyone was great or bad the whole time. All the queens have their moments, and at the end of the day, it’s just one opinion, and it’s just clothes. Don’t get me wrong, I love fashion and drag, but let’s be real here: we’re just playing dress-up. There are so many more important things going on right now.

So what are you looking for when you toot or boot an outfit?

There’s just so much drag now that it’s become saturated, so it’s getting harder and harder every year [to stand out]. There’s a lot of mediocre and copycat drag out there. So for me, I’m looking for something I haven’t seen before. I want to see who pushes the art form in a new direction.

You had such an impact on the fashion in Drag Race. How do you think drag fashion has changed over the years?

Photography courtesy of Violet Chachki

I think many different people have helped shift what drag fashion is and what it could be. Sharon Needles [the winner of season four] really shook up what it could be. And then Raja took the show in a fashion direction, and yeah, I think I helped shift it as well. In those early seasons, everyone was so different, unique and specific to where they came from in the country. But now it feels like all the queens [on the newer seasons] are blending into one another. Everything is so self-referential and has become almost like a parody of itself.

Drag queens have been taking the fashion industry by storm. What do you think has spurred this takeover? Because it feels like they have become fashion’s new muses.

I think drag and fashion have always influenced each other. Fashion is about confidence and creation, and that’s what drag is about too. But I don’t know if I’d call it a takeover. There are designers like Richard Quinn and Jean-Paul Gaultier who have always represented the community, and there are others who never have and never will.

You once told Vogue that you’ve always thought of fashion as a language. Can you expand on that and how it applies to your style?

I think of fashion like armour. I love using clothes to say something without speaking, and I think it’s true that a picture is worth a thousand words. You can use clothing to take up space, get attention and even hide. A good example is after I won Drag Race, I was getting so much criticism for things that I’m not: “she’s not an actor,” “she’s not a comedian,” “she’s not as talented as so-and-so.” So when I came back [for the season eight finale] to pass the crown down, I wanted to make a statement saying a big f*ck you to everybody who was so critical of me. I wanted it to be almost scary how regal and royal I looked. I had a prosthetic crown growing out of my head, and I think it worked really well. It was just such a powerful message without saying anything.

You’re pretty famous for your corsets, and now the rest of the world has caught up. What do you think is the eternal appeal of the corset, and what’s the craziest one you’ve ever worn?

Some people think corsets are just about being skinny, but that’s not what draws me to them. I love the extreme silhouette they create, the artistry of how they’re made and all the time that goes into making one. The smallest corset I’ve ever worn was probably the 18- or 19-inch corset I wore on the show. It was for the “Death Becomes Her” runway challenge, so I was really going for it. We had to walk the runway twice, so I went around once and then I had to take a break because it was honestly a health concern.

And on Instagram, you’ve teased a lot of corsetted costumes for your “Violet Chachki Presents A Lot More Me” tour. What can fans expect from the show?

Well, the show quite literally means me taking control over my career. I’ve wanted to do a show like this for so long, and I named it “A Lot More Me” because, after years of being wrapped up in Drag Race and touring with other people, I finally get to do my solo show and do something that is totally me, my vision and my style of drag. And I think people can expect truly the most produced solo touring drag show that’s ever happened. I mean, so much production goes into this show, from the costumes to the music to visuals to the aerial performances. It’s a drag, vaudeville, circus and fashion show all in one. It’s a complete labour of love, and it’s just about me coming into my own, owning my star power and showcasing the kind of drag I love.

Violet Chachki is way more than just the winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race season seven. Since 2015, she has outgrown the franchise, found fame on a global scale, and become an inspiration to many. She is a combination of old Hollywood glamour and femme fatal fetishism, and her style has earned her a spot among the fashion glitterati. Besides appearing front and center at fashion week, Chachki was the first drag queen to ever be featured in a lingerie campaign in 2017.

And she’s one of the select few who have gone down the steps of the Met Gala in full drag. Not only that, but she’s also dipped her toe into the beauty, fragrance, and music worlds and recently collaborated with Canada’s own Allie-X on a single. Obviously, I love being a part of the Drag Race family, but I won and I made some amazing friends. After a while, I just kind of was like, “I don’t know if I have anything else to prove.”

Violet Chachki describes how, as the winner of season 7 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, she was invited to participate on the show’s latest season, Drag Race All Stars 7. She explains that her opinion on whether or not to participate changes frequently, as sometimes she feels it would be fun and other times the idea of it is too anxiety-inducing. Chachki ultimately decided that, after winning Drag Race and making great friends, she doesn’t feel like she has anything left to prove. My thoughts on being in an all-winners season constantly change. Recently, Raja’s (the season three winner and renowned “fashion queen”) fans have come after you for your negative reviews of some of her outfits. What is your take on the situation?

I love Raja! She’s definitely an icon but [this whole situation] is just so funny.

Raja took the show in a different fashion direction, and I helped shift it as well. In the early seasons, everyone was so different and unique to where they came from in the country. But now it feels like all the queens on the newer seasons are blending into one another. It seems like everything has become very self-referential and almost like a parody of itself. Drag queens have been increasingly present in the fashion industry. Do you think that this is due to queer people becoming more accepted in society, or do you think there are other reasons? I think that drag and fashion have always influenced each other. Fashion is about confidence and being creative, and drag queens embody those qualities. However, I don’t know if I would call it a takeover. There have always been designers like Richard Quinn and Jean-Paul Gaultier who have represented the community, and there are others who never have and never will. You once told Vogue that you’ve always considered fashion to be a language. Can you explain what you mean by that and how it applies to your personal style? I think of fashion like armour.

I wanted it to look like I was in control and unaffected by the negative comments. I had a prosthetic crown growing out of my head, and I think it worked really well.

Hailey Bieber might as well be the face of summer’s minimalist beauty trend. The model and now skincare mogul’s “glazed donut” glow is the season’s most sought-after look. But much like her dewy complexion, Bieber’s glistening talons are hard to miss — and we have celebrity nail artist Zola Ganzorigt to thank.

The Los Angeles-based manicurist (whose clientele includes Sydney Sweeney, Vanessa Hudgens, Kendall Jenner, Maude Apatow and Simone Ashley) is responsible for creating what she calls “glazed donut nails” — a nude chromatic combination that resembles the confection it’s named after.

Just because we’re ditching the heavy makeup this summer doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy a little sparkle, especially when it comes to our nails. So we caught up with Ganzorigt to talk about her favourite trends, creating the perfect nude shade and her predictions for fall.

What’s your favourite nail trend for this summer?

Usually bright colours would be my answer but this time I’d say Hailey Bieber’s glazed donut nails. It’s really simple and minimalist but catches everyone’s eye from a mile away. (Ganzorigt shared everything she used to create this look on IG, which you can shop in the gallery below.)

What are the most sought after nail looks by your clients?

When summer comes, bright colours are more popular. So recently, I’ve been getting requests for bright neon colours such as orange, yellow, blue and pink.

What shapes and lengths are most on trend right now?

In my opinion, people are going towards a more natural look and most of my clients get the medium length oval shape.

Do you have a favourite design that you’ve created?

My favourite design right now is, as I mentioned before, Hailey Bieber’s glazed donut nails. You can create it with any colour and it just makes them all more elegant and pretty.

When you’re working with a client for a photoshoot, how do you coordinate their nails with the rest of their look?

First I look at what they’re wearing and understand what they’re trying to present. Then I talk to the client and we come up with an idea together [and decide] if [they] should do [a] design or just go simple and neutral.

How much of a consideration is skin tone/undertone when you’re selecting a colour for a client?

That’s really important especially when it comes to nude shades. So that’s why I always mix at least two different nude colours depending on my client’s skin tone.

What are some tools that you would recommend for at-home manicures?

The fundamental [part] of [a] good and long lasting manicure is good nail prep. So I’d recommend nail prep tools such as a pusher and nipper. They aren’t hard to find and you can get them from Amazon. And also, always keep your nails moisturized and use cuticle oil, or any beauty oil, every day.

Any predictions around nail trends for fall 2022?

When it comes to nails, it’s really unpredictable nowadays. But usually dark, warm toned colours get more popular in fall. Since chrome nails are so hot this year, I’d say dark chrome nails will be really trendy in fall.

Zola Ganzorigt: One of my favorite trends for summer is the “glazed donut” nails. It’s a nude chromatic combination that resembles the confection it’s named after. I think it’s a great way to add a little sparkle to your nails without being too over the top.

What’s your advice for creating the perfect nude shade?

Zola Ganzorigt: I would say to start with a light base coat and then add a few layers of color until you achieve the desired shade. I also like to add a little bit of shimmer to my nude nails for an extra pop.

What are your predictions for the nail trends we’ll see this fall?

Zola Ganzorigt: I think we’ll see a lot of dark, vampy shades this fall. I also think we’ll see more matte finishes and less shine. What are the most sought-after nail looks by your clients?

Right now, my clients are mainly asking for bright colors, like orange, yellow, blue, and pink. Neon colors are definitely in right now. Shapes and lengths vary, but right now I’d say the most popular shapes are oval and almond, and lengths are either medium or long. I think people are moving towards a more natural look, and most of my clients get the medium length oval shape. My favorite design right now is the glazed donut nails that Hailey Bieber wears. You can create it with any color and it just makes them all more elegant and pretty.

Like many current what’s-old-is-new-again fashion trends such as Juicy Couture tracksuits and low-rise denim, the trend brings us right back to 2000s style with its flowy skirts and beaded necklaces. Think early 2000s Rihanna with splashes of Blue Crush and The O.C. But after the aesthetic took off last summer, Polynesian creators were quick to point out that the term “coconut” is actually a slur in Pacific Islander culture. The clothing itself is a nod to Y2K beachwear, but that too got its inspiration from islanders (see: hibiscus-patterned dresses and shell necklaces). So, this summer, when you’re channeling your inner Marissa Cooper, it’s important that we keep these origins in mind. And so, without further ado, here’s more on the Y2K beach girl aesthetic plus where to shop the trend.

What is the Y2K beach girl aesthetic and where did it come from?

A beach girl is breezy, bright and reminiscent of the early 2000s. Full of pastel pinks, blues and yellows, this aesthetic brings Y2K to the beach. With some Floridian influence, it has also been dubbed the “Key West kitten aesthetic.”

Though new to some, this style was first popularized years ago, notably in TV shows and movies that are set near the beach, such as Aquamarine (2006) and H20: Just Add Water (2006-2010). Thanks to the style’s renewed popularity, the Y2K beach girl aesthetic is a Gen Z-favourite summer micro-trend. In comparison to mainstream trends that typically stick around for three to seven years, a micro trend stays “trendy” for only a few months. A word of caution: the fleeting popularity of micro trends can contribute to overconsumption, as people often stop wearing the clothes once the trend cycle ends. A way to combat this is by shopping more intentionally: buying something because you like it, not just because it’s trendy, and shopping more sustainably by thrift shopping.

How to achieve the Y2k beach girl look

The beach girl aesthetic is simple yet unmistakable. To start, pair a tropical or floral print top with a pastel-coloured mini-skirt. Add a knit bag, and accessorize with layered shell or beaded necklaces and crochet bracelets and anklets. Take the Y2K beach-goer look a step further by adding a temporary sparkly tattoo (bonus points if it’s a dolphin), and voilà!

The beach girl aesthetic has hit us all with a wave of nostalgia. Is it possible the reason these Y2K trends have become so popular is because they remind us of simpler, more carefree times? Whatever the reason may be, early 2000s aesthetics like the coconut girl are not done making their way back into our lives.

Hemlines are higher, fabrics are sheerer and cut-outs reign supreme — skin is in, and the most recent Haute Couture Week was no exception.

On the surface, the rise of risqué clothing is a celebration of our newfound bodily freedom. But by featuring exclusively waify models in these wares, designers send the message that skin-baring self-expression is only acceptable on thin people. 

Take Schiaparelli. Creative director Daniel Roseberry’s collection was all about playful displays of nudity. Exposed breasts were accentuated with nipple covers, sculptural designs and mesh, while chain materials featured stomach-baring cut-outs that swung as leggy models strutted down the catwalk. Wide-brim hats cast a shadow over some of the models’ faces, making exposed body parts (namely flat stomachs) the focal point.

Cut-outs were also seen at the Jean Paul Gaultier presentation. The collection, designed by Olivier Rousteing, was an ode to slender silhouettes, with upper thighs, pelvic bones and toned torsos peeking through the clothing. While the creative director of Balmain did bring some body diversity to the runway by enlisting curve model Precious Lee, the overtly skin-baring pieces were shown only on thin models.

And then there was Fendi’s couture collection. The Italian fashion house sent a lineup of sheer gowns with exposed breasts, thigh gaps and flat stomachs down the runway in Paris. Vogue said the collection captured an “elegance” reminiscent of the work by late artistic director Karl Lagerfeld. Unironically, Lagerfeld famously defended the fatphobic practice of only hiring thin runway models.

What it all comes down to is this: By glorifying thin figures on the haute couture runways, designers perpetuate the idea only those body types can participate in high fashion. And at this point, using a flat stomach as an “accessory” is just boring.

The revival of Y2K fashion has brought back skin-baring fashion and forced the industry to reckon with its legacy of fatphobia. The early aughts maintained the “heroin-chic” aesthetic of the ‘90s that worshiped an unhealthy standard of thinness. During the original era of micro-mini skirts, low-rise jeans and teeny baby tees, it wasn’t so much the clothes that were “in,” but the bodies those clothes could fit onto. As 2000s styles re-emerge, these fraught ideals are materializing on the catwalk once again.

Brands like Blumarine and Sultry Virgin have dedicated entire collections to skimpy Y2K styles. But their retrospective collections inadvertently glorified 2000s standards of thinness by excluding larger sizes. This troubling trend continues with contemporary collections. Take recent viral runway shows by Mowalola and Thom Browne, which used risqué designs to touch on topics like censorship, sexual oppression and restrictive gender norms. These powerful messages ultimately fell flat because they were not presented on a diverse group of models.

And even when larger people are featured on the runway, they are still subject to unrealistic beauty standards. “If you’re fat, you’ve probably noticed how being plus size is only considered good or fashionable on a very specific body type,” model Jessica Blair said in a TikTok video. She adds that curve runway models often still have the sought-after hourglass figure. “Even plus-size models who aren’t necessarily thin usually have a flat stomach.”

That’s not to say there’s not been progress. From Collina Strada enlisting models in wheelchairs to Maryam Nassir showcasing scantily-clad curve models, the needle is moving, just not as quickly as it should be.

Made with precision to fit the wearer, haute couture is meant to offer escapism through tailoring, unusual textiles and imaginative designs. Couture is, at its core, about breaking boundaries. So why is there not more body diversity? Such collections are the perfect opportunity to redefine “fantasy” fashion by including everyone in sartorial dreamworlds, not just thin people. Because ultimately, representation shouldn’t be a fantasy. And a flat stomach shouldn’t be the standard.
