Alex Consani And Anok Yai Address Feud Rumors, Sabrina Carpenter For Vogue Italia, Plus! Jack & Laz’s Loewe Makes A Splash!

It’s all love between Anok Yai and Alex Consani! The models have put their rumored “feud” to rest in style, thanks to a new cover story by Tyler McCall for Allure‘s October issue. The feature finds the friends reflecting on their supposed sparring after Consani won Model of the Year at last year’s British Fashion Awards. “Me and Alex have been hand in hand throughout our career,” said Yai.”We always confide in each other; we’ve cried together so many times and we’re always there to support each other. But the narrative was really spun for us.” The feeling is mutual on Consani’s end, too. “It’s quite funny to me, to see the way that people turn on us and our identities [instead of] focusing on us as people,” Consani said. “There’s value in giving girls their flowers, especially girls that are almost always mistreated. The focus of that whole situation should have been what we need to do to support one another, not creating some beef that was never there.”

The duo wear Presley Oldham pearls, gauzy Colleen Allen dresses, and Lillian Shalon jewels for Allure with styling by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson.

Sabrina Carpenter Brings Retro Glamour To Vogue Italia‘s October Issue

Suddenly, we’re craving espresso… Vogue Italia has found its new covergirl in Sabrina Carpenter, who’s photographed by Steven Meisel for its October cover. Fresh off the launch of her album Man’s Best Friend, Carpenter chats about the in-between period before continuing her Short n’ Sweet Tour this fall, plus fashion’s role in performing and her signature sense of cheeky humor. Meisel’s vintage shoot further embraces her current love affair with late ’60s and early ’70s glamour as well, seen in looks from ribbed knits to wrap tops, lingerie, and classic pumps from Manolo Blahnik, Olivia Von Halle, Loro Piana, Gucci, and Dolce & Gabbana.

“Part of life is making light of moments that maybe make us uncomfortable, or at least, that is for me,” Carpenter tells Chiara Barzini in her cover story. “My whole life I felt like humor was just this, and it wasn’t even always humor, I think it was usually just sort of a wit that kind of saved me. It was always there to make sure that at the end of the day I was protecting myself for the future.”
