Beauty Tips

 Ariana Grande attended the AFI Awards held on Thursday in Los Angeles. The musician attended alongside her “Wicked” co-star Cynthia Erivo.

The “7 Rings” songstress popped into a pair of rich deep brown pumps. The chosen pair included glossy chocolate brown leather uppers accompanied by rounded toes and what appeared to be equally unique sculptural heels. The style closely resembles Loewe’s Toy silhouette.

Neutral footwear is a must-have for many. A good simple pump can act as a supporting actor of sorts, allowing the ensemble to take the spotlight. During Grande’s lengthy “Wicked” press tour, she’s often been spotted in neutral-toned footwear from brands like Stuart Weitzman, Schiaparelli and Jimmy Choo, among others.

The “Don’t Look Up” star partnered her sculptural pumps with a silky custom gown from Loewe. The dress was sleeveless and boxy, crafted of a champagne-colored silk fabric. On the accessories front, Grande toted a white Loewe Flamenco clutch.

When it comes to shoes, Grande often opts for platform sandals and pumps by Versace, Givenchy and GCDS. Stiletto pumps from Jimmy Choo and Giuseppe Zanotti are also common in her red carpet rotation. When off-duty, the “Positions” singer can be seen in Laurence Decade and Sergio Rossi ankle boots, as well as Prada and Ugg slippers.

Grande is currently nominated for “Best Supporting Actress” for her role in “Wicked.” The cast of the hit film also includes Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Bailey, Bowen Yang and Jeff Goldblum. The adaptation acts as a prequel to “The Wizard of Oz,” and recounts everything that happened before Dorothy made her way down the yellow brick road.

 Baby, it's cold outside — but bundling up doesn't have to feel like a chore. If your winter coat is feeling a little uninspired, it's time for a stylish refresh. While a good puffer is a must for running errands, something snazzier can make heading to work and dinners out a little more fun. We've got our eyes on the Tanming Wool Blend Trench Pea Coat, a luxe-looking topper ideal for layering. It's on sale for just $50, down from $90.

Why is this a good deal? 💰

Similar wool blend coats from big brands will easily set you back more than $120 (and that's when they're on sale!). So when we can snag an on-trend coat for just $50, we're excited. This is also one of the lowest prices we've seen for this pea coat, so if you're hoping to up your winter-style game, now is the time to add this cutie to your cart.

Why do I need this? 🤔

Aside from the stellar savings, there's a lot to love about this long-line coat. First, the cozy wool-blend fabric is thick but not too thick, and snuggly enough to stand up against the cold. The cut is also incredibly sleek — a mid-long length reaching to the knees, with a double-breasted pea-style cut that is a classic for a reason. And that reason? It's flattering on just about anyone!

Choose from a variety of colors from elegant black to on-trend camel to fun shades like red and teal — just about all sizes and colors are on sale now.

What reviewers say 💬

Over 2,500 Amazon shoppers have given the Tanming Wool Blend Trench Pea Coat five stars, with many highlighting the quality and construction.

Pros 👍

"I wanted to look like a Hallmark movie character this winter, so my friend ordered a red one and I ordered a green," shared one happy shopper. "We are big-time businesswomen living in a small town. She's Noel and I'm Holly. We both want to own a bakery and with any luck, one will just fall into our laps. I hope our landlords aren't a couple of handsome single men because we won't notice if they are interested in us, being so busy in our charitable foundations funded by our wealthy great aunts who left us everything."

"This coat is amazing!" enthused a second reviewer. "I wanted something classic and timeless, double-breasted with a nice lapel and in a camel color to wear both with jeans and with more dressy outfits, especially because I travel to Europe in the winter and want to change my black puffer coat for something more sophisticated. This camel coat fits the bill to a T! The quality is unbelievable. It is a nice thick wool material, fully lined, with quality buttons. ... The arms are long enough to go past my wrist and although I am only 5 feet 4 inches, [the coat] hits at the perfect spot on my calves."

Another fan wrote, "I love this coat. I bought this because I needed a coat for the weekend, but didn't have time to go shopping. I figured the quality of the coat would reflect the price, and I was OK with that. I figured I could just wear it to run errands or go to work, not necessarily to nice places. Boy was I surprised when I got it! It exceeded all my expectations! It's the perfect fit and thickness. There's little to no difference between the quality of this coat and the $220 coat I bought from Loft."

Cons 👎

Of course, some shoppers still say the design could use some improvements.

"This coat is great for the price," began one shopper, who also added, "I think my only gripe is that it doesn't really cover the top of your chest, even when it's buttoned up, but I think this can easily be solved by wearing a scarf or just making sure what you have underneath doesn't leave your chest too exposed."

Another buyer added: "I wish it had a small loop near the tag so I can hang it up if needed, but I mostly use a hanger due to its size."
