If you were to tell me years ago, when I started Olsens Anonymous, that I would be crazy inspired by another stylish twin sister duo as much the Olsen twins, I would have never believed you. Enter Amalie and Cecilie Moosgaard Nielsen. If the Danish twin models-turned-jewelry-designers aren’t already on your radar, it’s absolutely time to give them each a follow.
Amalie and Cecilie are incredibly stylish and have become my favorite duo to watch during fashion months, thanks to their cool minimalist wardrobes. They have a definite Olsen twins feel, meaning their style is the embodiment of quiet luxury. The chic sisters are also the co-founders and designers of Lié Studio, which is fast becoming a favorite among the fashion set for its refined collection of timeless jewelry.
Keep scrolling for a glimpse at some of their chicest style moments and to shop the looks, including pieces from their stunning jewelry collection. The earrings and necklaces alone are guaranteed to make you an instant fan.

NEW YORK, February 21, 2023 (Newswire.com)
– The global television network NTD announced that it is launching the First NTD Global Chinese Beauty Pageant, which carries the mission of promoting the traditional aesthetic character of Chinese women.
The pageant is open to Chinese women (at least one-third Chinese origin) aged 18-30 years worldwide. Application is available with the deadline of May 1, 2023.
“This pageant is for extolling virtues.” – Lucy Zhou, managing director of the NTD Global Chinese Beauty Pageant
In addition to external beauty, this pageant places good emphasis on inner qualities like Morality, Righteousness, Propriety, Benevolence, and Faithfulness, the common values of women of all ethnicities and races.
All qualified pageant candidates will be required to study a series of online courses covering topics of self-improvement and Chinese history, including public speaking, dressing for success, and understanding Chinese virtues. They will also receive basic training in classical Chinese dance, which will help them improve their poise and body flexibility.
Top finalists will advance and compete in person in New York, and these ladies will be evaluated through the procedures of in-depth interviews, on-stage Q&As, as well as presentations of fitness wears and evening gowns.
The Grand Finals and Coronation will be held at the Performing Arts Center of SUNY Purchase, New York on Sep 30, 2023, and televised to millions of viewers worldwide on the NTD Television’s network and platforms, including satellite and cable TV, website, and social media.
The grand prize winner, Miss NTD, will hold the honor of being the first queen ever crowned in this pageant earning the official Phoenix Crown. Miss NTD offers an opportunity of a lifetime that is sure to change the lady forever, for the better. During her full year of reign, Miss NTD will serve as the ambassador for the NTD Global Chinese Beauty Pageant. In addition to attending events as a speaker or guest of honor, Miss NTD will also have extensive opportunities for exposure in NTD’s programs and TV shows.
NTD is a New York-based global television network founded in 2001 by Chinese Americans who fled communism. NTD is dedicated to truthful and uncensored reporting with a mission to create independent media, which it believes to be crucial to a free society. In addition to its flagship news programs which strive to provide insightful coverage of the world with the highest ethical standards, NTD’s arts and lifestyle programs embody universal values that celebrate the best of humanity’s culture and traditions. This unique pageant is part of the independent broadcaster’s series of cultural and art events aimed at promoting the pure authenticity, pure goodness, and pure beauty of traditional culture.
Barefaced and strutting in her usual chicness somewhere in Los Angeles, Hailey Bieber just debuted a fashion clapback to recent internet drama (with help from a nearby paparazzi, of course). Paired with her dusty blue low-rise jeans and Prada shoulder bag is a white t-shirt that reads, “Nepo Baby.”
Bieber — who is the daughter of a Hollywood actor, niece of actor Alec Baldwin and married to Justin Bieber — hasn’t been left out of the nepo baby discourse. The model and Rhode founder has long been flagged for benefitting from nepotism herself. But now, she has officially joined the conversation — and the the long legacy of celebrity clapback slogan T-shirts. Anne Hathaway’s FedEx-inspired “FedUp” shirt. Britney Spears’ “Dump Him” tee, worn post-Justin Timberlake breakup. Then, there was Paris Hilton’s “Stop Being Desperate.” Fellow nepo babies Liv Tyler and Stella McCartney’s matching “Rock Royalty” shirts also give a similar energy.

This seems to be her way of saying, “it is what it is.” We’re not particularly empowered by it, but at least we know where she stands.
Fashion, at its best, is art. This is a belief to which the Pirelli calendar has stayed true for the past 50 years: The famously exclusive and nearly-impossible-to-obtain project — which is produced by the Italian car tire company as a corporate gift for distinguished clients and VIPs — has historically combined the glamor of high fashion with the raciness of nude photography, in an elevated, pin-up poster kind of way. And its big reveal has become a highly-anticipated event in and of itself.
The 2023 Pirelli calendar, lensed by Australian-born photographer Emma Summerton, is titled “Love Letters to the Muse,” and has quite the stacked crew (with set designer Viki Rutsch and costume director Amanda Harlech, who happens to be a former muse to John Galliano and Karl Lagerfeld herself) and cast.
Bella Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, Ashley Graham, Cara Delevingne, Karlie Kloss and more appear in this year’s spread, each assigned a label based on their unique passions. Ratajkowski, the author of the essay collection “My Body,” is named “the writer,” while Kloss — whose scholarship program Kode with Klossy teaches young women how to code — is the “tech savant.”
For Summerton, whose style is highly experimental, the Pirelli calendar represented a moment where she could abandon commercial constraints and instead focus completely on artistry through a whole body of work — a rare opportunity in a profit-oriented industry.
“I started thinking about a painter, music, film actress or book character that I loved,” she says. “It became about creative women who inspire me, and then the whole idea fell onto the page.”

The project evolved into a collaborative affair between Summerton and each of the 14 women. While their subjects are dubbed “muses,” the images dismantle the traditional artist-muse dynamic, not only celebrating the women for their physical beauty, but also highlighting their unique inner qualities.
“In working with these women who do so many other things, I thought it would be great to give them this platform to speak about the work,” says Summerton. “[The photograph] was tied around who the girl was, a lot of it was imagining what kind of world she could be in based on the message she was bringing.”
Kloss, for one, felt that there was something really special about bringing “all aspects of who [she] is to [this year’s] calendar.”
“What an honor to be named the ‘tech savant,’” she says. “[Emma] did such a beautiful job creating this tech dynamic with the neon lights, colors, abstract mirrors and dome…It was special because a huge part of who I am is the work I do with Kode with Klossy.” (In her photograph, Kloss dons a futuristic, light-up ensemble and silver boots with a neon-blue wig.)
Graham — a newcomer to the Pirelli calendar — says this “is a big marker in a model’s career… It’s more than just a beautiful woman stepping into her sexuality. There’s a story behind it.” She poses in silver latex stockings and underwear encased in a wave-like sculpted piece designed by Amanda Harlech. “I was wearing this huge piece of art. I love doing shoots like that because you can just lean into the fantasy.”
The images in the 2023 Pirelli calendar offer a magical glimpse into the multifaceted nature of these muses. It may be difficult to get your hands on the physical copy, but these visuals are a feast for the eyes — click through the gallery below to see some of the highlights.
