Money-making hack: Renting clothes online - BBC News

Posted: 28 Sep 2019 07:02 PM PDT

When best friends Tash and Marie dusted off their old going-out dresses, they had no idea they'd be making over £1,000 from them - without selling them.

They've started renting their clothes to women in their area, advertising dresses, shoes, bags and hats for rent on Facebook Marketplace and Instagram.

They say it's a great way for young mums to make money without being drawn in by multi-level marketing schemes.

"With a dress worth £100, four hires and it's covered the cost," Tash said.

"We've found a way to make money, have fun with it, and work with your best friend."

Strictly fans bemused by Tess and Claudia's 'Bacofoil' dresses - Mirror Online

Posted: 28 Sep 2019 01:31 PM PDT

Strictly Come Dancing hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman's outfit choices came under fire on Saturday night.

Claudia, 47, decided on a gold number that featured a plunging neckline and added more sparkle with large hooped ear rings and Tess, 50, showcased her lithe physique in silver number that had a sexy cut-out detail across the chest.

The duo, deciding to slip into shiny dresses for the second episode of the 2019 series, were slated on Twitter for their ensembles that viewers thought resembled "bacofoil."

Proving viewers were not keen on the sparkling material that the garments were crafted out of, a number mocked how closely they resembled kitchen foil.

One joked:"Tess and Claud in the foil a bar of milk choc and a bar of dark choc... Tess won the 'who gets a better shape' coin toss. 6/10 #Strictly #ItsAllAboutTheFrocks ."

Another posted an image of kitchen foil and penned: "Claudia and Tess #Strictly ."

Others added: "Tess is wearing a tin foil dress classy girl ha ha #strictlycomedancing2019 #Strictly2019 #strictly #StrictlyComeDancing ," and "Why are Tess & Claudia wearing tin foil? #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing ."

Jennifer Lopez Almost Didn't Wear That Iconic Green Versace Dress - E! NEWS

Posted: 21 Sep 2019 03:02 PM PDT

The dress that made the world stop.

Jennifer Lopez is taking a walk down memory lane and opening up about the iconic green Versace dress she wore to the 2000 Grammys. Yes, the one that launched Google images and has become part of pop culture history.

Putting it back on people's radar (not that it ever left our minds, amiright?), the 50-year-old star recently shut down the Versace runway show during Milan Fashion Week wearing an even more dramatic version of the original design.

However, J.Lo reveals she almost didn't wear "the dress." Speaking to Vogue, the Hustlers actress recalled that her stylist at the time, Andrea Lieberman, didn't exactly want her step out on the Grammys red carpet wearing a dress that had already been photographed on Spice Girls' Geri Halliwell and Donatella Versace herself.

"[Andrea] came with three dresses, which I'm very spoiled now, people come with a thousand dresses when they come to a fitting for me," she said with a laugh. "That day, there's two or three dresses, and I'm looking."

She continued, "I tried on the green one, I came out, everyone was there, glam and everybody, and they were like, 'That's the dress.'"

However, J.Lo's stylist at the time wasn't part of the crowd cheering on the design for an understandable reason. "Andrea, my stylist, was like, 'No you can't wear that.'"

"She was like, 'No, it's just that you can't wear that one. Somebody else has worn it," the Hustlers actress recalled. "Actually, Donatella herself has worn it. One of the Spice Girls has worn it. Sandra Bullock has worn it in another color.'"

However, the "Medicine" singer was adamant that she was stepping out with that Versace number. "I said, 'This is what we're gonna wear. This is it.'"

And as they say, the rest is history.

Over the years, Lopez has worn several versions of the green design. But it became a viral moment once again after she hit Versace's runway on Friday afternoon. "So this just happened," the 50-year-old star captioned her Instagram video.

It's safe to say fans can't get enough of the fierce and fabulous lewk, so keep these updated versions coming Donatella.
