Nov 25, 2024 | texasmonthly.com | Lauren Castro |Taylor Prewitt

Glen Powell was the subject of a look-alike contest in Austin over the weekend—the latest in a string of social media–driven meetups in public spaces, where civilians channel celebrities in hopes of winning modest prizes and, perhaps, fleeting internet fame.
Meow Wolf Houston Is Unmistakably Texan but Still Otherworldly

Oct 31, 2024 | texasmonthly.com | Taylor Prewitt

In the sixteen years since its Santa Fe, New Mexico, founding, Meow Wolf, the immersive arts and entertainment company, has taken for its mission the all-encompassing task of creating whole worlds out of boxy warehouse spaces. These colorful, maximalist realms exist in their own universe, often with no reference to the worldly places—Las Vegas, Denver, Santa Fe, Grapevine—whence they came.
Eight Texas-Themed Halloween Costumes, Ripped From the Headlines

Oct 22, 2024 | texasmonthly.com | Taylor Prewitt

Halloween is always a toss-up in Texas: Either it’s too cold for the sexy rodeo-clown getup you were planning, or you find yourself sweating through a cow-print onesie—again. What isn’t a toss-up is that the best costumes—the ones that get the greatest giggles and the most knowing nods—are those that reference whatever inane or insane pop culture phenomena happened over the previous year.
Uh-Oh! NYC Found Out About Homecoming Mums.

Oct 3, 2024 | texasmonthly.com | Taylor Prewitt

Fall means football in the state of Texas. But in other circles, far from the gridiron, cooler temperatures also indicate a changing of the fashion guard. With a new season come new trends, and lately, the two disparate autumnal interests are intersecting in the most kitsch of accessories: the homecoming mum. In July, Brooklyn-based fashion forecaster Mandy Lee posted a video to TikTok and Instagram Reels predicting that prize ribbons, also called cockades, would be a niche trend this fall.
Dominico Lee Is the Rising Star of Tejano Couture

Aug 20, 2024 | texasmonthly.com | Taylor Prewitt

The heroines of Dominico Lee’s design sketches look as though they escaped the pages of a storybook. The intentionally frayed hems of the gowns, in silk and tulle, suggest a chase or struggle. The exposed boning of the corsets hints at a lingering sorrow, a heartbreak beneath the glamour, emphasized even more by dark accessories—cowboy hats and boots, all in black. The allusions are purposeful.
The Man Behind the Hair: How the Cowboys Cheerleaders’ Stylist Gets Those Perfect Curls

Jul 23, 2024 | texasmonthly.com | Taylor Prewitt

Since its introduction in 1972, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders’ look has been iconic: short shorts, fringed vest, knotted top. Equally iconic: the cheerleaders’ hair. The squad’s dance routines, including Thunderstruck, which has gone viral in the wake of the Netflix docuseries America’s Sweethearts, involve hair flips and shoulder shimmies that send the sweethearts’ curls bouncing.
“Western” Shoes Have Gone Too Far

May 22, 2024 | texasmonthly.com | Taylor Prewitt

Western wear has never been a style defined by nuance and subtlety. It may have been derived from necessity, but in the intervening years—from gilded boots custom-made by a master craftsman to decked-out hats donned by Dripping Springs bachelorettes—even its most authentic forms have acquired an air of ostentation. Consider the details of the genre: dyed leather, fringe, dyed leather, Nudie suit–type embroidery, rhinestones, tassels.

May 21, 2024 | texasmonthly.com | Taylor Prewitt

Across the state, on storefronts and in bodegas and convenience stores, Texans are increasingly spotting products—vape juice, gummies, and even beverages—purporting to contain THC. These are not to be confused with the also-proliferating number of edibles and drinks containing CBD—the quaint cannabinoid meant to engender feelings of relaxation. These THC product labels tout true, mind-altering effects.
