Here’s How to Celebrate This Year’s Most Exciting Virtual 2021 Events and Experiences in Style

Whether you’re watching the inauguration or plan to dance along to this year’s Grammy performances, this is the gear you’ll need to get in the spirit….

I remember reading MIT professor, Sherry Turkle’s book Alone Together in college and being struck by her argument that our increasingly technological lives are leading to decreased emotional ones. In 2013, I found Turkle’s argument poignant and still I find it true, but in 2020, with the rise of the pandemic, technology really did serve as a lifeline to an emotional existence. In my own life over the last year, I’ve only maintained some semblance of normalcy through fitness classes beamed into my living room, virtual therapy sessions, and Zoom celebrations. I’ve remained connected to friends and colleagues through texts and calls and conversations on Instagram provoked by memes and intriguing images. Major movie or TV show drops on streaming platforms, like the Queen’s Gambit on Netflix, have given us something to talk about when every single day feels the same as the last. We were indeed alone together.

In 2021, the thrill of new virtual events and experiences are helping us ramp back up to normal life both emotionally and sartorially, giving us things to look forward to while fostering a sense of community and of course, staying safe at home. There’s a palpable anticipation for the release of new movies or upcoming livestreamed events like the Grammys and the Oscars because they are again tethering us to one another from our individual homes and giving us inspiration to shake ourselves out of a year-long sweatpants rut. In other words, it’s time to get reacquainted with our sense of style and fall back in love with fashion. Whether you’re celebrating by dressing up for the Inauguration or the Grammys, or you’re finding sartorial inspiration from a new Wes Anderson movie like his highly anticipated The French Dispatch or a new museum opening, there’s something soothing about knowing that millions of others are experiencing the same thing as you, even if you can’t physically be with them.

Vogue’s January Index features an array of virtual events and experiences we’re looking forward to in 2021, those of which will undoubtedly liven up our day-to-day wares. Here, these are the happenings that we’re actually getting dressed for this year, because there’s nothing like a little glamour at home to bring us all together from afar.

Cardi B’s $60K Birkin Bag Gets The ‘Mommy Treatment’ As Daughter Unleashes Her Creativity

Honk Magazine

In a moment of relatable frustration, Cardi B took to Instagram to share a funny yet surprising story about her expensive $60,000 Birkin bag, one of her favorite items from her luxury collection. Known for her bold personality and honest social media posts, Cardi revealed that one of her daughters had turned the fancy purse into a makeshift canvas, drawing a heart on it without permission. “Look what my daughter did to my purse,” Cardi said dramatically in her Instagram Story, showing off the iconic bag to her followers. “I literally spent $60,000 on this purse,” she exclaimed, still amazed by the unexpected ‘artwork’ from her little girl.

Although she was frustrated, the mom of three tried to take it all in stride, at least for the moment. Cardi values her hard-earned luxury items, especially her growing collection of high end bags. However, as any parent knows, kids have a skill for creating chaos even in the most cherished parts of life. For Cardi, that chaos includes her high-priced accessories. The post quickly gained attention online, with fans sympathizing with Cardi’s situation. Many found humor in the irony of the event, while others offered support, pointing out that such moments are just part of the unpredictable journey of parenthood. Cardi has previously emphasized that family is her top priority, even if it means dealing with some messiness.

But Cardi’s frustration didn’t stop there. She later took to Twitter to respond to comments made by Kanye West regarding her staying power in the spotlight. While she didn’t mention him directly, her tweet, “7 years 1 album… STILL being a topic and STILL being asked about my music!!!” sent a clear message. She confidently asserted her spot in the entertainment world, clarifying that her fans, known as “The Brim,” are not going anywhere. In the end, whether it’s a damaged Birkin bag or dealing with critics, Cardi B repeatedly shows that she remains unfazed by the ups and downs of fame, always staying true to herself and her family.

Kai Cenat Powers Up The BAPE By KidSuper Collection, Bringing Bold Streetwear Vision to Life

Honk Magazine

The collaboration between BAPE by KidSuper and Kai Cenat has officially launched, and it’s making waves in the streetwear world. Released on April 12, the BAPE by KidSuper collection represents a blend of BAPE’s iconic style from Japan with the vibrant, energetic vibe of KidSuper, which has its roots in Brooklyn. This partnership is particularly significant for KidSuper’s founder, Colm Dillane, who started his journey selling handmade t-shirts outside BAPE stores. Now, he’s a key creative partner with the legendary brand. What sets this collection apart is its deep connection to culture.

Social media star Kai Cenat plays a major role in promoting the collection, bringing a youthful energy that perfectly matches the spirit of the collaboration. The release captures a mix of past influences and modern style, appealing directly to today’s trend-conscious audience. The first look at the collection was revealed during Paris Fashion Week at KidSuper’s Fall/Winter 2025 show, titled “From a Place I Have Never Been.” This wasn’t just a typical fashion show; it was an immersive experience featuring oversized clothing, bright colors, and a comic-inspired theme celebrating youth, memories, and imagination. These ideas are reflected in every piece of the collection, from graphic t-shirts to special sneakers, jackets, and clogs, making each item feel like a unique piece of art.

The design and packaging of the collection are also very creative, enhancing the overall experience. The packaging, inspired by comic books, ensures that this collection is a celebration of a special moment in streetwear history. Raystar, who also participated in the show, infused his own creative energy into the project, adding another level of excitement to this already iconic partnership. In a time when collaborations are common, the BAPE by KidSuper collection stands out by tapping into the core of street culture and creativity. It’s a collection that many collectors and trendsetters are going to want to have.
