YouTube is going further with livestreaming this holiday shopping season with a new weeklong event.
The social media platform is hosting its first YouTube Holiday Stream & Shop livestream event starting on Nov. 15. The event features a list of creators who will each host their own day of livestreams to sell products from their own brands and offer exclusive deals across fashion, beauty, entertainment and more categories.
“The vision of shopping at YouTube is really around the idea of how can we create an entertaining shopping experience that is shopping, but really about the entertainment value,” said Bridget Dolan, YouTube’s managing director of shopping. “The secret sauce is in the creators that YouTube has that have a deep passion and experience with whatever their category is, so they already organically sell products.”
The YouTube Holiday Stream & Shop event’s lineup starts off on Nov. 15 with the Merrell Twins, whose livestream will include deals from Walmart, Samsung and Verizon. On Nov. 17, livestreams will be hosted by chef Gordon Ramsay and Donut Media. Beauty influencer Patrick Starrr will host his livestream on Nov. 18, offering deals and unveiling new products from his own beauty brand, One/Size. Fellow beauty influencer Jackie Aina will

Congratulations are in order for Ivy Getty and Tobias Engel who tied the knot over the weekend.
The heiress, the great-granddaughter of billionaire oil tycoon J. Paul Getty, married Engel, a photographer, in a lavish wedding held in San Francisco’s City Hall and officiated by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The weekend reportedly involved a star-studded guest list that included Anya Taylor-Joy and California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and a 1960s-themed bash at the Palace of Fine Arts.
Getty wore a custom wedding gown designed by John Galliano for Maison Margiela Haute Couture, which featured four layers and shards of real broken mirrors, and shoes by Christian Louboutin. Her bridal party, including Taylor-Joy who was her maid of honor, also wore dresses by Galliano.
“A little over a year, 18 dresses, many laughs, teas and hugs later. Thank you @jgalliano and @maisonmargiela for making the two most beautiful wedding gowns I have ever laid eyes on,” Getty wrote on Instagram. “Working with you John has been such a pleasure.

Elizabeth Debicki caused a social media frenzy over the weekend as she perfectly channeled Princess Diana in her famous “revenge dress” while filming the fifth season of “The Crown.”
Debicki, who will play the late princess for the Netflix hit series’ final two seasons, wore a re-creation of the silk black evening dress with an off-the-shoulder design and asymmetric hemline that Princess Diana wore to a 1994 dinner at the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens. She also donned a similar layered pearl choker and the princess’ iconic bob.
The original dress was designed by Christina Stambolian and the princess had reportedly owned it for three years but never chose to wear it since it seemed too “daring.” According to The Times, the original dress retailed for approximately 900 pounds.

The princess wore the gown the night her estranged husband Prince Charles admitted to being unfaithful to her during their marriage. The admission was televised in a documentary called “Charles: The Private Man, the Public Role,” which was broadcast the same night of the dinner. The royal couple had been formally separated for two years at that time. The two would officially divorce in 1996.

The Fendi x Skims collaboration is finally here.
The collection is dropping on Nov. 9 at 6 a.m. PST on the dedicated fendiskims.com e-commerce site and will also be available at select Fendi flagships and retailers worldwide. The line features form-fitting silhouettes and bonded leather dresses in neutral tones, pink and black. The products range from $100 to $4,200.
The codesigned capsule was mostly inspired by a 1979 Fendi collection designed by the late Karl Lagerfeld, which highlighted twisted tube tops, pop colors and tight sashes.
“The idea for the collaboration came about when my team and I were sitting around a table at the studio in Rome,” Kim Jones, artistic director of Fendi womens collection, said in a statement. “Suddenly, all the women went silent and started looking at their phones. I didn’t know what was going on, but they were waiting for the launch of the new Skims collection. It was then that I thought: let’s do something together.”
“Both Fendi and Skims have a cultural power very different from each other, but equally as strong,” Kim Kardashian West, founder of Skims, added. “We share a desire to push boundaries, think differently and challenge convention which is why we found so much

Tati Westbrook Shutters Beauty Brand
Tati Westbrook is shuttering her namesake beauty brand.
The beauty influencer, who has 8.7 million YouTube subscribers and 2.2 million Instagram followers under her @glamlifeguru handle, revealed in a YouTube video on Thursday that she is closing her Tati Beauty brand nearly two years after she launched the makeup line.
“Tati Beauty is closing its doors,” Westbrook said in the video. “We are no longer selling product online and I say that with a heavy heart. I loved creating this brand. I had huge goals, dreams and visions for the future and you guys know prior to reviewing product on YouTube I’ve been a lifelong makeup lover.”
Tati Beauty first launched with its Textured Neutrals Palette, a 24-pan eye shadow palette that Westbrook said sold out 12 hours after the brand launched. The brand released several other eyeshadow palettes during its two years on the market, as well as a beauty blender.
Westbrook explained that the brand’s closure is due to two things: the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the current legal battle regarding her Halo Beauty supplements brand. In March 2020, the Tati Beauty Instagram account posted an update that it would no longer be able to ship new orders because its fulfillment center

Cristóbal Balenciaga, the founder of Balenciaga, worked tirelessly at mastering women’s couture and created a blueprint for the fashion designers of today.
Pillow hats, sack dresses and baby-doll dresses are a few of his creations that considerably impacted the fashion world. Balenciaga’s vision and passion for couture still flow through the brand’s veins as their designers uphold the late designer’s push for innovation in fashion.
Called “Fashion’s Picasso” by British fashion photographer Cecil Beaton, he was one of the most prominent designers of the 1900s, and his artistry has influenced the fashion world for more than 100 years. A couturier from the age of 12, he mastered his talents by creating patterns, shapes, cuts and designs that hadn’t been seen in women’s fashion previously.
Early Life
Balenciaga was born on Jan. 21, 1895 in Getaria, Spain. He was the youngest of five children to José Balenciaga Basurto, who died when Balenciaga was young, and Martina Eizaguirre Embil, a seamstress who taught sewing classes in her village. After working alongside his mother, he became an apprentice for a tailor in Gipuzkoa, Spain.
As a teenager, Balenciaga worked as a tailor at Les Grands Magasins du Louvre Parisian branch in the women’s clothing department. His early training
