Exclusive | ‘Bridgerton’ fans are dropping hundreds of dollars on dainty, sassy pumps — and turning NYC into a royal runway

“Marie Antoinette” and “Bridgerton“-inspired shoes are inspiring the latest footwear that New York City fashionistas are strutting down the Big Apple sidewalks in, treating them like the queen’s ballroom.

With the popular period drama‘s Season 4 Part 2 landing on Netflix Thursday, Feb. 26, fans are stepping into off-screen fantasies by wearing dainty, “coquette” Regency-era (1811–1820) shoes that mix romance, drama, and a touch of sass from stores like Upper West Side’s Sole, West Village’s Scr...

Exclusive | ‘Bushwick Birkin’ — or Big Brown Bag? What an NYC woman’s tote says about her

In New York City, the shopping bag you carry around says almost as much about you as your shoes — sometimes more.

From thrift stores and grocery aisles to luxury department stores and an Upper West Side family institution, reusable shopping bags have quietly become the city’s most democratic status symbols — swung over shoulders like Birkin-adjacent badges of honor.

In a city where everyone tries to look effortlessly cool (and eco-conscious while they’re at it), Gothamites are hitting up store...

Exclusive | NYC singles are looking for love at Medieval Times: ‘It’s like Hooters— but for women’

Fed up with swipes, screenshots and soul-sucking situationships, singles are deleting their dating apps — and heading straight for the castle.

Not a fairytale one, either.

The surprisingly steamy singles scene is unfolding at Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament in Lyndhurst, NJ, where turkey legs, jousting matches and helmet-clad heartthrobs have become the hottest new alternative to Hinge.

Between sword fights and royal decrees at the family friendly dinner-and-tournament show (made famous af...

Exclusive | ‘Poetcore’ is the new granny-chic trend that’s transforming fashion for angsty geeks and celebs

The party-girl era is packing up her micro-bag — and Gen Z is reaching for tweed, knits and something that looks like it might’ve belonged to their grandmother.

Instead of dressing for bottle service or viral club fits, young fashionistas are embracing a quieter, more subtle look — one that feels handwritten rather than algorithmic.

Think oversized sweaters, worn-in blazers, satchels, lace collars, and the unmistakable air of someone who definitely journals.

The aesthetic has a name now — poe...

Exclusive | I needed a wardrobe makeover — could an AI ‘stylist’ save me?

It’s one of the most annoying dilemmas women face — wanting to look stylish at work, on weekends and on nights out, but getting stuck in a rut.

At the same time, finding the budget for standout pieces — or the hours to hunt online for clothes that actually flatter your shape — can feel impossible.

Personally, beyond the trial-and-error misery of online shopping, I’m burned out from slogging through fast-fashion stores and “basics” sections — a far cry from the joy I find in thrifting.

Exclusive | Post reporter transforms into a cast member of the city’s spookiest lair for a night of fright

Behold, New York City’s newest “scream queen.”


It takes a lot to truly rattle me. I live for the eerie and the strange — the haunted houses, the folk horror flicks, the spooky vintage thrift store knickknacks.


So when I recently got an offer to go full freak show and freak out New Yorkers at NYC’s boo-tacular Blood Manor — the hugely popular, 10,000-square-foot labyrinth with 22 themed rooms of gore, guts and high-voltage trauma — I was all in.


And, really, who wouldn’t be?

Exclusive | Nike x SKIMS launch fizzles in NYC: Kim K collab doesn’t draw big crowds — or big raves

What a SKIM-py turnout.

The much-hyped NikeSKIMS collab dropped in New York City Friday morning — but for all the buzz about Kim Kardashian’s takeover of both the gym and the runway, Manhattan didn’t break a sweat.

But Post reporter Marissa Matozzo sure did, braving a barrage of squeezing, tugging, hopping and holding her breath to (sometimes) fit into eight pieces that promised effortless workouts — if not effortless dressing.

When The Post hit Nike’s Fifth Avenue flagship at 8 a.m., just th...

Exclusive | Single women are using Hinge to get their furniture built by matches — for free: ‘It felt like getting the boyfriend experience on a first date’

Move over, Mr. Right — Gen Z gals are looking for Mr. Fix-It.


Savvy single ladies in NYC and beyond are treating the dating app Hinge like a handyman service —updating their profiles on the trendy pair-off platform to say they can be “won over” by a man who can help them install, well, hinges.


Dinner and drinks? Later for that — these practical women on the prowl say the ideal “first date” includes hex keys and hammer drills.

Exclusive | Fashionistas are swarming an NYC pharmacy to snatch Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s coveted, iconic headband

She’s still turning heads — and inspiring headbands.

Nearly three decades after Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s life was cut short in a devastating plane crash, her chic, minimalist and unfussy style legacy lives on — and Gen Z can’t get enough.

A $36, ¾-inch tortoiseshell headband made by French hair accessory brand Charles J. Wahba and famously worn by the style icon in the ’90s has become one of the hottest summer accessories — thanks to a recent social-media moment.

As a result, fashion mavens...
