The activist-turned-politician is highlighting the realities of being “a regular person going to Congress.”…

VOGUE: God, why is it so refreshing to hear a woman in politics speak matter-of-factly about weight gain?
CB: It is what it is! Doing activism, I gained weight. Running for office, I gained weight. Like, I just had other stuff on my mind. And then, during the pandemic, I had double-pneumonia. My doctor thinks I had COVID-19, probably, and anyway they gave me these steroids and they made me bigger, too. So my old clothes, it’s like—well, too bad. Guess I need a whole new wardrobe. But like I tweeted, damn that’s expensive.
VOGUE: What kinds of things are you shopping for?
CB: Everything. Blazers, suits, skirts, blouses, sweaters, scarves, shoes, purses, jewelry. All of it. And I can’t just put on a black blazer and black slacks. It can’t just be basics. What I’ve found for myself is that, when I’m going into places where I always have to fight, where I have to bring it, I need something to make me feel good.
VOGUE: How would you describe your sense of style?
CB: Oh, pretty classic, for the most part—but with flair. I like to push it. I’ll put on a plain-looking, dark suit, but my shoes will be…what?! I love pink. But not that Pepto pink—deep pink. And sparkles, I love sparkles. Clothes with rhinestones and sequins, I’m so into that. Even if I need to bring it down a notch, I’ve always—always—got sparkles on my nails. I do them every two weeks, and they are never, ever just a plain color. I’ve got to have that sparkle. So when I’m feeling down I can look at my nails and it snaps me out of it.
VOGUE: Which female politicians do you look to for inspo? I noticed that AOC was giving you advice.
CB: Yeah, I got tips from Alex, from Rashida [Tlaib], from Ayanna, from Ilhan [Omar], and from Grace Meng. She told me about this great consignment store here in D.C. that I went to today. I do like a lot of the stuff Ayanna wears, and she was also telling me how to do the makeup on a budget, the lashes on a budget… But I can’t say there’s any one woman in politics I look at and think, I want that. I guess the closest would be Michelle Obama. She always looked good.

A$AP Rocky Turned An Entire Manchester City Kit Into His Album Rollout
A$AP Rocky doesn’t do album rollouts quietly, and this one recruited an entire Premier League club to help. Manchester City, PUMA, and Rocky teamed up on a limited apparel run tied to “Don’t Be Dumb,” his 2026 album, timed around his September 5th show at Co-op Live.
The centerpiece is a long-sleeve PUMA King jersey in black and archive gold, with “DON’T BE DUMB” running down the sleeve and AWGE branding worked in throughout. A bold “MANCHESTER” graphic covers the back. Fans could also add limited “A$AP 11” name-and-number printing onto the club’s actual Home, Away, or Third kits, while supplies lasted at retail.
There’s a players-only version too, and it never went up for sale. That one sticks closer to City’s usual sky-blue identity, with its own sleeve detailing and back graphic — the kind of piece that exists purely because a handful of people got lucky.
The whole rollout kicked off with a one-night pop-up on September 4th, when PUMA turned a spot in Manchester’s Northern Quarter into a pop-up cafe for the night, mixing football, music, and street style into one room before the wider release hit the stadium store the next morning. Some of those jerseys even came with golden tickets to the concert or that Saturday’s match.
Rocky has called the project true to his own design language, and it’s not even his only club collaboration this cycle — a similar drop with AC Milan landed around the same time. At this point, the line between fashion week and matchday has basically disappeared.

Quavo And Lids Are Going All In On Atlanta With Their New Cap Pack
Quavo has never been shy about his hat obsession, and Lids just gave him another outlet for it. Their new “Atlanta” pack drops September 12th, marking another round in a partnership that’s been running strong since 2019.
The collection is a love letter to the city, spread across three very different caps. One mashes up pinstripes, script lettering, and Braves branding into a single design, working navy, red, white, and light blue into the mix. Another goes the opposite direction entirely — fully iced out in crystal detailing, done up in black and red, with both the Falcons and the Braves showing up in the design. The third strips things back to an old-school “ATL” trucker cap in red, white, and gold, the kind of understated piece that lets the city’s name do the talking.
None of this is new territory for Quavo. He’s talked before about waiting on hat releases as a kid, and that same excitement seems to be what’s kept this partnership going years past most celebrity collabs. His earlier Lids run leaned on one moment — the Braves’ 1995 World Series win — but this pack pulls from the city’s whole sports history instead of just one highlight.
Lids has called Quavo one of the rare voices who can blend music, fashion, and sports without it feeling forced, and this drop backs that up. Given how fast his past releases have moved, Atlanta might want to set an alarm for September 12th.
