Like interest in the Nike tracksuit Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was pictured wearing earlier this month after being seized by the U.S., interest in Macron's shades is just the latest example of a newsmaker driving attention to a piece of fashion, and parlaying a news item into an internet meme. Before you could buy a "Make America Great Again" hat on President Donald Trump's website, he wore one himself. Watch the news and shop the look.
Workers of the world, unite and dress nicely, if you can afford it. That appears to be Zohran Mamdani's approach, with Puck reporting on Wednesday that the New York City mayor-to-be has been working with Bailey Moon, a fashion stylist with a star-studded list of clients. The democratic socialist's wife, Rama Duwaji, has been getting fashion tips as well. Moon has worked with a number of celebrities, including Hollywood stars Diane Lane, Pamela Anderson, Zachary Quinto, Rebecca Hall, and her husband, actor Morgan Spector.
