Glossy, chirpy and colorful, Netflix’s “Next in Fashion” — debuting Jan. 29 — is one of two new entrants to the televised fashion design competition arena this year. The 10-episode series, hosted by “Queer Eye’s” Tan France and presenter and designer Alexa Chung, also marks Netflix’s first venture into a category that for years has been dominated by “Project Runway.”
“Fashion is something that is really appealing and relatable, and so it made sense for us to get into that space considering our viewers around the world,” Netflix vice president of unscripted originals and comedy specials Brandon Riegg told Variety. “It is also an opportunity to gauge the fashion enthusiasm of fans and showcase some amazing talent and stories [from designers], the struggles and the victories, and help them elevate their own brand to the next level through the show.”
It just so happens that France, known for being the Fab Five’s fashion guru,...

Add one more honor to Sandra Oh’s list. The “Killing Eve” actress, who was recently named to the Time 100, has landed on another list of 100 esteemed people: Gold House’s A100.
On Wednesday, Gold House – a collective of pioneering Asian founders, creative voices, and leaders – released its second annual A100 List celebrating Asians and Asian American & Pacific Islanders (Aapi) who’ve made transformative contributions to society. The list honors impactful Asians in a number of fields ranging from media and entertainment to social activism and politics.
Oh has become the face of much of the increased representation for Asian Americans (the Korean Canadian actress acquired U.S. citizenship last year.) Not only is she one of the handful of Asian lead actors in a TV series, but she’s also the first actress of Asian descent to be nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in...

Mom jeans, crop tops and all your other favorite '90s styles are here to stay, but if you aren't from that decade, can you still pull off the look? Yara Shahidi says yes. The gen-z star has been killing it on the promo circuit for her spin-off show, Grown-ish. Between turns in a Claudia Li jumpsuit and 3.1 Phillip Lim flouncy dress over a white button-down, the 17-year-old star stopped by The View in comfy ensemble that would make Lisa Turtle and Kelly Kapowski proud. Yara offset a muted white, red and blue, vertically striped top with high-waist, cropped trousers in the same color palette. An oversize Opening Ceremony reversible coat brought...
