Over the past 75 years, fashion shows have evolved from intimate presentations to global spectacles. Vogue takes a look at the rich history of fashion’s illustrious front row. Dior’s 1950s “New Look” revolutionized femininity, while the ’60s embraced individual freedom and exclusivity. The ’70s introduced cultural influencers and turned shows into entertainment, paving the way for the extravagant glamour of the ’80s. By the ’90s, mainstream appeal dominated, and the 2000s saw celebrities strategically claim the front row. The rise of influencers in the 2010s, fueled by social media, democratized access to Fashion Week. Even as the pandemic briefly halted live shows, the industry adapted and returned. Today, the front row itself has become part of the spectacle with celebrities like Kylie Jenner wearing the same outfit we also see on the runway.

Bella has blown up but somehow remained grounded and has not turned into annoyingly sophisticated celebs. I love her!

The idea of infecting mothers purposefully is great, unfortunately in the current timeline Ellie doesn’t know how she’s immune, and the only person who knew exactly what happened is dead, as well as the person who probably guessed what happened is dead. The only chance they have is maybe Marlene wrote her theory of what happened somewhere?
Also, efficiency-wise it would be best to infect mothers of twins+ so you get multiple immunities out of just one death.

Common you guys, we’ve all known that she’s an immortal ever since we saw her in GoT.

i’m not a fan of the theory that ellie is actually joel’s biological daughter, it makes more sense that they’re found family. i think “she’s his biological daughter and that’s why he loves her even though they don’t know it” would be just a cliche plot twist and sort of invalidates adopted/found family, she can be a daughter to him without being related by blood
anyway, bella is so cool and this was a fun interview!!
