He’s tall, lanky, nail polished, and your roommates hate him. His tattoos are stupid, his band is not as good as he says they are, your mom won’t tell your grandma about him, but underneath all that chaotic energy, there’s a little heart of gold that runs primarily on whiskey and clothes he borrowed from your closet. So let me introduce you to your new Internet boyfriend.
The fascination with the bad boy who’s only nice to you is an old trope, but now there’s something new and fresh around the 2021 aesthetic. Now, we’ve stepped into the glam. So, what is that aesthetic exactly? It’s more glam-rock than your black-and-white punks of the ’70s, with impeccable tailoring, perfectly done nails, eyeliner, a chainlink necklace, and a hint of a contour. Throw in either bleach or blue-black hair dye, and you’re most of the way to building one of these guys from scratch.
The ideal set of nails is the first step when entering your name to be 2021’s, new pop-punk boyfriend. Even the baby punks, who haven’t donned their first kilt and whose hair is still virginal, will paint on a coat of black nail polish. If you want to take it up a notch, grab a nail file and give yourself a faux-chipped look without needing the legitimate wear-and-tear.

So while a simple black manicure is the ideal first step, there are also some new levels to reach. For example, you could go a little more glam, using TikTok’s Lil Huddy just released limited-edition nail sticker collab with Glamnetic. Or, if you’re genuinely committed to the aesthetic, get the longest acrylic nails possible, à la MGK.

Whether you decide to dunk your head in a vat of bleach or darken it with some blue-black dye, one thing is for sure: You absolutely cannot go au naturel with your locks if you’re trying to compete with the other punk boys on Instagram. Of course, going platinum blonde is always encouraged, but even if you decide to stay away from chemical treatments, you’ll need to at least rake some gel or pomade through your strands.

If you decide to change your natural color, the more unusual the new tone, the more we want to learn more. Black dye is a serious commitment, but some lime green or a shock of red wouldn’t go amiss either.

This is where it gets tricky because makeup is optional. Would we prefer to share our eyeliner with our lovable punks? Sure, why not. But a makeup-free boy doesn’t lose his punk rock card if he doesn’t feel like throwing on some lipstick that day.

When they decide to break out a little beauty, keep to the classics: Black eyeliner and red lipstick, both smudged. If that’s not enough to do the trick, embellish in the vein of Machine Gun Kelly, who wore pearls on his face to the VMA’s. If that’s not swoon-worthy, I don’t know what is.

So why are we now trying to find a single punk-adjacent boy again? Have we reached our punk-rock bottom? Maybe it’s because we identify with all that pent-up rage that we used to find unbearable. Personally, the appeal lies more in the fact that we could share ripped-up sweaters and book a couple’s manicures. But it does seem that the current variation of the cliché seems to go a little deeper: He probably has good political views, he’s not confined to gender norms, he’ll show you on his Instagram if your ‘fit goes with his aesthetic.

On Wednesday night, Jennifer Lopez arrived in Los Angeles with her 13-year-old twins Max and Emme. The family was likely there to join Lopez’s boyfriend, Ben Affleck, for the Thanksgiving holiday. Lopez recently returned from the much colder climate of British Columbia, Canada, where she was filming her latest project, The Mother.
J. Lo touched down in her private jet wearing a teddy fur coat from Coach’s Autumn/Winter 2019 collection, and a pair of Ugg boots. Classic airplane outfit, celebrity style. Lopez and Affleck originally dated in 2002 and broke up in 2004. Their romance was rekindled earlier this year, soon after Lopez ended her relationship with baseball player Alex Rodriguez. The new couple went official in July, while celebrating Lopez’s 52nd birthday abroad.
Affleck’s most recent relationship with Ana de Armas ended in January after about a year together. He had divorced ex-wife Jennifer Garner in 2015 after being married for almost a decade. Garner and Affleck had three daughters, Violet, Seraphina, and Sam.
Before traveling back to the U.S., Lopez posted a story to Instagram Reels about how grateful she was to be headed home.
“Hey everybody, it’s my last day here shooting on The Mother out in Smithers in the snow, it’s been beautiful, but tonight I’m on my way home,” she said, as she walked through the wild landscape in a black coat and beanie.
“I’m so excited for Thanksgiving! I hope everybody has an amazing weekend with their families and their loved ones, there’s so much to be grateful for this year. I’m on my way!”
This is the first major holiday of the year since Lopez and Affleck reunited, so it’s likely to be a big one for both families.

This is not a drill: Everlane just kicked off its Black Friday sale. Now through Monday, November 29, the direct-to-consumer brand is offering 20 to 40% off its cozy sweaters, minimalist activewear, and popular jeans. If you’re not super familiar with Everlane, let me spell it out for you: this is a big deal.
The e-tailer might be known for making sustainable, ethically made clothes and accessories at a fair, affordable price, but Everlane rarely has sales beyond its Choose What You Pay section. So, if you want to stock up on cute basics for less, now’s your time to shop.
And, in true Everlane fashion, the brand is taking this opportunity to give back. Everlane is partnering with Rodale Institute and help U.S. farmers transition their farmland to regenerative organic—and donating $15 per order to the cause. A great sale that gives back? I’m sold.
But, hurry! These deals are going to sell out fast, so you won’t want to waste any time filling your e-cart.
