The classic hat style has been seen atop the heads of celebrities including Olivia Rodrigo, Harry Styles and Justin Bieber. Whether you want to channel the sporty style of Karol G, the chic stadium looks of Taylor Swift, the bold vibes of Rihanna or the laid-back look of Selena Gomez, incorporating a beanie into your outerwear can elevate your cold weather wardrobe in seconds.

Unlike bulkier hats, beanies provide a snug fit that keeps your head cozy and warm. Their sleek design allows for versatility, whether you’re running errands or hitting the slopes. According to market brand Logotech, beanies go way back to the early 20th century where, “traditionally, they were purely utilitarian— a simple and practical solution for workers to keep warm and their hair out of the way.” Over time, the style transitioned to the mainstream becoming an everyday staple in cold weather attire.

Lizzo‘s break didn’t last long. While participating in a panel at the Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit Monday (Oct. 14), the star shared that she’s not really taking a gap year as she works hard on her Yitty business and new music.
“‘Gap year’? Girl, who said ‘gap year’?” Lizzo began, laughing. (Spoiler alert: She did!) “I launched my company Yitty in 2022 at the same time as my album, Special … As soon as I stepped down home from tour — I may not be as public-facing — but I went straight to Yitty headquarters, and I’ve just been working, working, working. You may not see me, but I’ve been working.”

“It ain’t a gap year, it’s a grind year,” the “About Damn Time” musician noted.

The panel comes less than two months after Lizzo shared footage of her trip to Bali and wrote, “I’m taking a gap year & protecting my peace.” The Grammy winner has been open about how her mental health has suffered in the aftermath of her ex-dancers filing a lawsuit against her over claims of sexual misconduct and hostile work conditions, all of which Lizzo has emphatically denied. While speaking at the Fortune event, she declined to speak on the matter twice: “This isn’t the space for it, we’re celebrating CEOs and powerful women.”

Lizzo has also been open about how she’s taken refuge in making music and working out, both of which she touched on during the summit. Of the former, she teased that she’s “very close” to being done with her fifth studio album — “I’m really really proud of the music I’ve written,” Lizzo added — and of the latter, explained that she’s leaning into body neutrality instead of body positivity.

“One inevitability we all have to face is that our bodies will change … it’s a beautiful thing,” she said of her recent fitness journey. “My body is nobody’s business, other than me, my doctor, my trainer and my man.”

Plus, the businesswoman joined numerous other artists in praising one of 2024’s biggest breakout stars: Chappell Roan. “I see a lot of parallels … we had the same kind of rise, and it was so quick,” Lizzo said of the “Good Luck, Babe!” musician. “I watch how she handles her relationship to public and fame. If I had one thing to say to her: Call your therapist. I wore my therapist out when I was becoming famous. I respect her a lot for how she handles herself.”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s romance has already taken the NFL by storm, so it was only a matter of time before it enchanted another major sports league.   After the couple stepped out at Game 1 of the American League Championship Series in New York City Monday (Oct. 14), the official MLB TikTok account […]

In a recent interview on the Today show, Silva’s inspiring journey was highlighted, showcasing her roots and beginnings. Raised in a working-class Latino family in Los Angeles, she worked hard to achieve her success. To support herself while studying at fashion school, she worked at beauty counters in department stores before transitioning to a career as a makeup artist, where she had the opportunity to work with notable stars like Kerry Washington, Taraji P. Henson and Regina King.

On April 18, Silva posted on her Instagram account, sharing her backstory. “I was a makeup artist that did film and television for many, many years. And I was one of the first, if not the first, to create a tool for high-definition and that’s where this little baby was invented on the set of Girlfriends on the Paramount lot here in Hollywood, California.” For those unfamiliar with Girlfriends, it was a 2000s sitcom that aired for eight seasons, focusing on a variety of family and friendship dynamics.

Silva continued: “I was tasked with trying to make sure that the girls from Girlfriends looked really natural and beautiful while they were wearing makeup all day in high-definition when you would see every pore on their skin. And that’s where this little beauty was born.”

On Sept. 27, Silva was honored with the 2024 Entrepreneurial Award at the Kennedy Center’s Hispanic Heritage Awards. “The simple fact of having Latina aunts, mothers, cousins, there is no way of escaping beauty because in our community and in our heritage, beauty is such an important part of who we are and how we express ourselves,” she shared in an interview with PBS.
