'Office siren' trend makes this forgotten fashion chic — and sexy — again - New York Post

Corporate America isn’t exactly known to be the world’s hottest catwalk, but that’s quickly changing with the rise of boardroom chic.

Pencil skirts, stiletto pumps and collared blouses, oh my — the more conservative look once reserved for a librarian is now winter’s sexiest attire.

Dubbed the “office siren,” the aesthetic is defined by neutral-colored pieces — made visually interesting with structured, form-fitting silhouettes or texture — paired with bold yet simple jewelry and pops of red with a handbag or long, painted-on coffin nails.

“She’s ’90s and 2000s Calvin Klein archive, Dolce & Gabbana, and Ralph Lauren,” Asia Bieuville, 22, said in a TikTok.

The fashion student added: “Everything she has is basic, but nothing she does is basic. She’ll wear a high neck, but she’ll put her hair inside the collar.”

In this rendition of the workplace wardrobe, the hallmark “corpcore” cubicle frump is swapped for sex appeal: A pencil skirt with a slit, an off-the-shoulder sweater, a generously unbuttoned Oxford, a sheer blouse.

The “office siren” might even wear ugly-yet-cool Bayonetta glasses, which have been brought back from the early-aughts grave and rebranded as “geek chic” or “librariancore.”

The slender, nerdy specs, which dull the nonnegotiable hotness of the wearer — see: Bella Hadid and Julia Fox — have gone viral on TikTok and, subsequently, caused searches for the dated lenses to soar on popular resale site Depop, per British Vogue.

Paired with a bold, dark lip — hello, ’90s — the “office siren” is both timelessly en vogue and mystically sultry.

“We’ve often been told that women have to adapt to masculine codes to be respected and admired in the corporate world, but I think there’s another, more sensual and stylish way,” Bieuville told Who What Wear.

“The woman who represents this has ambition, likes to assume her sensuality and femininity, and doesn’t care about judgment. She proves herself through her actions. She’s Samantha Jones in ‘Sex and the City’: feminine, sexy and successful.” 

Bieuville pointed to recent runway collections — such as Miu Miu’s FW23, Gucci Ancora SS24 and Tom Ford SS24, designed by the brand’s new creative director Peter Hawking — for “office siren” inspiration.

But there’s a fine line — a few buttons or inches of skin — between the mysterious allure of the “office siren” and dressing “inappropriately.”

“The corporate side is still very much present, but [the office siren] lifts it all up with a play on materials, and in the end, it’s quite a subtle balance,” she explained.

See Kate Middleton's sexy college catwalk — that grabbed William's attention — on 'The Crown' - New York Post

From runway to royalty.

While only six episodes remain of Netflix’s long-reigning show “The Crown,” things are only just starting to heat up as the show gets ready to introduce the future Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton.

In a first look, Kate (played by Meg Bellamy) can be seen rocking a catwalk in a sheer dress during a 2002 fashion show at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.

Middleton and Prince William — who was in the audience that night — met freshman year at school.

Photos also show a flustered William (Ed McVey) speaking to his future wife.

Middleton and William would go on to announce their engagement on Nov. 16, 2010, and they got married at Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011.

The future king and queen are now parents of Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5.

According to the official description, the second part of “The Crown” Season 6 picks up as “Prince William tries to integrate back into life at Eton in the wake of his mother’s death as the monarchy has to ride the wave of public opinion.” 

“As she reaches her Golden Jubilee, the queen reflects on the future of the monarchy with the marriage of Charles and Camilla and the beginnings of a new royal fairytale in William and Kate,” continues the description.

Imelda Staunton returns as Queen Elizabeth II one final time, alongside Jonathan Pryce as Prince Philip, Luther Ford as Prince Harry, Lesley Manville as Princess Margaret, Dominic West as Prince Charles, Claudia Harrison as Princess Anne, Olivia Williams as Camilla Parker Bowles and Bertie Carvel as Prime Minister Tony Blair.

Elizabeth Debicki, who played Diana in the first four episodes of the season — which focus on the “relationship blossoming between Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed” — revealed that everyone involved with filming the death of the People’s Princess felt an “immense responsibility.”

“It’s difficult to describe. It was something that we thought about, that we carried with us, that woke us up in the night,” Debicki, 33, told “Entertainment Tonight” at the premiere.

The Australian actress also took a moment to assure fans and critics that they tried to tell Diana’s story right.

“We tried our very best to do [the story] properly,” she said. “My message is just — thank you for sticking with the show, thank you for watching it. I hope that we give you what you need from it.”

The “Great Gatsby” actress’ portrayal of the late princess concluded with her ghost visiting Prince Charles and the queen.

The final episodes of “The Crown” will debut on Netflix on Dec. 14.

Meet Aitana: Sexy Spanish model makes $11k a month thanks to her racy photos — but she isn't real - New York Post

Aitana Lopez is a vivacious, 25-year-old pink-haired model who has garnered a massive online following thanks to her stunning looks.

But there’s a catch: She isn’t real, although her income sure is.

The buxom babe is actually a bot dreamed up by Spanish designer Rubén Cruz, who uses artificial intelligence to help make thew animated model look as lifelike as possible.

Thanks to Aitana’s lusty online fans, the designer is now making a fortune, netting up to $10,900 per month.

“We did it so that we could make a better living and not be dependent on other people who have egos, who have manias, or who just want to make a lot of money by posing,” Rubén Cruz, told EuroNews.

The innovative designer is the founder of the AI model agency The Clueless.

Last summer, the idea to design Aitana came to Cruz after he struggled with the logistics of working with real-life influencers.

Now, a team from his AI agency meticulously curates Aitana and her life with the help of Photoshop, deciding what she’ll do, where she’ll go and which content to post — all without the hassle of working with human creators.

She has successfully amassed an impressive Instagram following and posts on the subscription site Fanvue. fit_aitana/Instagram

People “follow lives, not images,” Cruz explained, so her creators were tasked to “tell a story” with her content, since she isn’t a real person.

“A lot of thought has gone into Aitana,” Cruz said. “We created her based on what society likes most. We thought about the tastes, hobbies and niches that have been trending in recent years.”

Aitana is billed as a Barcelona-based fitness influencer and gamer, who even has a star sign (she’s a Scorpio, for the record).

Aitana has amassed an Instagram following of 132,000, and Cruz and his team can now charge up to $1,000 for an advertisement featuring her image,

Fans also fork out money for sultry images of the busty bot on the subscription-based platform Fanvue — an OnlyFans rival that has an array of profiles featuring AI models.

She’s so eerily real that high profile celebrities will slide into her DMs, not realizing she’s computer-made.

“One day, a well-known Latin American actor texted to ask her out,” Cruz dished. “He had no idea Aitana didn’t exist.”

Due to Aitana’s massive success, the designers crafted a second model, Maia, who they described as “a little more shy.”

They have now received an influx of requests from brands who want their own AI models.

“They want to have an image that is not a real person and that represents their brand values, so that there are no continuity problems if they have to fire someone or can no longer count on them,” Cruz explained.

The companies can also cut costs by employing a virtual influencer, rather than people like mogul Kim Kardashian or TikToker Alix Earle, who are rumored to charge a pretty penny for brand deals.

The Clueless thinks their digitized strategy could lower market prices and provide smaller companies the opportunity to create ad campaigns they otherwise would not be able to afford.

If Aitana Lopez seems too good to be true, you’d be right — the stunner is actually an AI model.

While the agency’s models pander to societal beauty norms — which have been criticized for promoting unrealistic body standards and hyper-sexualizing women — Cruz argues that it’s necessary for the models’ success.

“If we don’t follow this aesthetic, brands won’t be interested,” he said. “To change this system, you have to change the vision of the brands. The world in general is sexualized.”

But that has not been the only hiccup in artificial intelligence integration — the tech is used to cheat on schoolwork, create scarily realistic deepfakes and generate inappropriate images of underage girls.

Because of generative AI’s rapidly advancing capabilities — for example, a fake photo of a Pentagon explosion caused mass confusion earlier this year — some platforms have begun putting disclaimers on content that is created with the software.

The Couple Next Door review – a sexy, fantastic time with hot swingers - The Guardian

There are two extraordinary features to note about Channel 4’s new six-part drama series The Couple Next Door, which examines the combustible effects of a hot, swinging couple on a pair of conservative young things who move in next door. The first is that it succeeds in being sexy rather than cringemaking. This is vanishingly rare and comes courtesy of a clever, layered script that ties each of the narrative strands together perfectly and takes enough time to build every relationship within the foursome to allow what unfolds to feel plausible. Writer David Allison understands that even people destined to climb into bed with each other are capable of thinking and talking about other things while lust brews in the background, and cracking a few jokes along the way. I don’t know if this was present in the Dutch series New Neighbours, on which this is based, and Allison had the sense to keep it intact or if it’s all his own work but it is fantastically well done. There should be a special annual award for any creation that manages to deliver convincing spousal banter like Allison does here.

The second extraordinary point is the casting of Hugh Dennis as a stalker. Alan (Dennis) is obsessed with Becka, the more free-spirited of the hot swingers (played by Jessica de Gouw, coupling her innate credibility as a hot swinger with a nuanced portrait of a woman making the best of a life she never expected and which will soon take a turn for the worse). And it turns out that Dennis, after decades of providing gentle humour in roles playing on his unthreatening affability in the likes of Outnumbered and Not Going Out, is the perfect creep. Alan starts off as what you might call a bit of a saddo, but as his circumstances change and appetites grow, we watch with bated breath as his behaviour escalates and his mood darkens. It would be a brilliant performance even if its purveyor were not so unexpected, but the casting adds an extra touch of uncanniness to the whole.

The plot of The Couple Next Door is relatively slight. What if, it asks, you suddenly found yourself presented with a world of possibilities you never thought you would entertain? Strictly raised Christian schoolteacher Evie (Eleanor Tomlinson, modulating perfectly from innocence to wonder and, after a series of catalytic events, to rapacity) and husband Pete (Alfred Enoch, great as a man scrambling desperately after his wife as she runs towards possibilities whose ramifications she cannot appreciate) are the polar opposites of their new neighbours Becka and Danny (Sam Heughan, concentrating too hard on disguising his Scottish accent to match the fine-tuned performances of the rest). The latter are non-monogamous – there are a few clunky scenes in which they laboriously explain to us and their new friends how it all works – and both Pete and Evie’s eyes widen at the news, but not for quite the same reasons.

There are a couple of subplots, the main one hinging on Danny’s involvement with a corrupt local councillor who may be the key to a huge story Pete, a journalist, is working on for the local paper. But The Couple Next Door is all about the couples. What happens when feelings start getting in the way of fun? Unequal feelings, unreciprocated feelings, feelings stronger than love, love stronger than any other feeling? What is the difference between morality and successfully repressed natural desires? And what happens when they can’t be repressed any more?

As the sexual and other tensions – Alan, I’m looking at you and your growing malevolence and your poor wife (Kate Robbins) about to find your perverted little eyrie upstairs – grow, it also finds time for a sideways glance at modern masculinity (skinny Pete rolls his eyes as Evie teases him about Danny’s musclebound physique, but his apparent potency plays on their different vulnerabilities), the harm done by the prurience and judgment of others and whether – especially in the age of the internet – you can ever escape it.

But, you know, fun and sexy too. Enjoy.

One of Amazon's most popular blouses just dropped to $19 for Cyber Monday: 'Arms feel so sexy' - Yahoo Life

It is time to transition your wardrobe into the cozy season with a winter-friendly find or two. Something with a sleeve. Something simple but special. Well, we've found it: a feminine, goes-with-everything, figure-flattering blouse. We're eyeing the smart, sexy, eminently wearable Miholl lace-sleeve top and it's down to $19, from $38 at Amazon for Cyber Monday.

MIHOLL

This versatile femme top is light and flattering, yet keeps you fully covered. You can get it in 42 colors and styles.

$19 at Amazon

Why is this a good Cyber Monday deal?

Tops that are pretty and affordable are tough to come by, but this one's both. At nearly 50% off, we haven't seen the price drop this low since May.

Why do I need this?

If you're not a big fan of showing off your arms, this top is for you: It has peekaboo lace sleeves, so your arms can be covered up but still breathe. It doesn't hug them, either — it's more of a romantic blouson sleeve — which gives a dramatic, slimming effect. More than 46,000 shoppers give it a perfect five-star rating.

The top itself is loose, but not so loose that you end up swimming in it. Available in sizes small to 2XL, it's designed to fit just a bit oversized, but it's still easy to tuck into jeans and pants. Best of all, it drapes in the most flattering way. Choose from 42 colors, and you'll be party-ready but still as comfy as you would be in your softest hang-at-home gear.

What reviewers say

"I got the coral/pink and LOVED it," shared a delighted shopper. "So flattering despite my mom pooch. Just be mindful: Light colors may be see-through."

Another fan stated: "I have a big tummy so it’s difficult to find shirts and sweaters that are flattering for my body shape. When I had this top on my husband said, 'You look great! Have you lost weight?' I loved it so much I bought more in different colors."

Perhaps the best part (besides the price) is that it's the comfiest "dressy" top you'll have in your closet.

"I actually layered a long sleeve top underneath this, I prefer the extra warmth and it maintained its beautiful style," another pleased shopper reported. "This is lightweight and feels as though you could wear it any season, especially if you layer a sleeve top under it as I did, you can create some additional dimensionality if you wear a contrasting long-sleeve shirt underneath or go with the monochromatic look. Very versatile both seasonally and how you can style it up or down."

It also packs plenty of va-va-voom — at least, according to this shopper: "I like how thick this is, but it is still a little see-through. Great quality and feels sturdy. Arms feel so sexy!"

Amazon

Over 46,000 shoppers are fans of this pretty top for a reason!

$24 at Amazon

If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)

The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.
