Meghan Markle’s Off-the-Shoulder Bodysuit Is a Sweet Nod to Princess Diana

April 18, 2022 at 11:15PM Meghan Markle’s elegant sense of style was on full display at the Invictus Games in The Hague, Netherlands. The Duchess of Sussex took the stage during the opening ceremony in a sophisticated bodysuit that instantly recalled a famous Princess Diana portrait. Displayed as part of an exhibition titled “Diana, Princess of Wales by Mario Testino” in 2005, the image was among Testino’s last photographs of the Princess of Wales. In the portrait (taken five months before her death), she posed in a stunning off-the-shoulder gown by Catherine Walker, draped similarly to Markle’s look today. Designed by New York label Khaite, Markle’s off-the-shoulder bodysuit feels like a sentimental nod to the late princess. Combining classic draping techniques with a modern touch, the bodysuit features a plunging neckline, a textured knot detail, and a stretchy cotton jersey bodice. The duchess…

Jess’ Fiji Travel Guide + PicsApril 18, 2022 at 11:00PM We recently visited beautiful Fiji for my mum’s 60th birthday celebrations. It was just gorgeous! Dean and I went a couple days early to celebrate my birthday at Tokoriki… so the trip turned into a double birthday extravaganza. It was truly such a special time. For me, the highlights of Fiji are the people and the exceptional turquoise waters. Now that international travel has opened back up, I definitely recommend a visit to Fiji. A bonus of this holiday is that it is less than a 4 hour plane ride from Sydney Airport! We had taken off and landed in paradise before we knew it. Where to Stay Tokoriki Perfect if you want an authentic, luxe-chic and adults only stay. Highly recommended for honeymooners. I just loved Villa 7! Highlight: The people, food and…

12 Ways to Wear White to a Wedding Without Offending the Bride

April 18, 2022 at 09:35PM As a rule of thumb, the short answer to “Can I wear white to a wedding?” is generally no, simply out of respect for the bride who will likely be wearing a white gown. Of course, there’s a chance she may be an unconventional bride who likes to make her own rules, and she might go for less popular silhouettes, like short hemlines, and non-white colors for the big day. Still, if you won’t see the final look until the day of, it’s wise not to compete and make it harder to know who’s actually getting married. When in doubt, chat with the bride about your potential ensemble. Etiquette experts typically agree that unless the bride gives explicit permission, guests should avoid the color at all costs. As an alternative, there are plenty of seasonally appropriate colors and…

How Ayesha Barenblat is Working to Create a More Sustainable Fashion Industry

April 18, 2022 at 09:07PM Ayesha Barenblat founded Remake with the mission to create a more transparent fashion industry. And over the last six years, the non-profit organization (a “community of fashion lovers, women rights advocates, and environmentalists,” according to its website), has made some major headway. Its brand directory scores fashion companies based on what they’re doing to lessen their environmental impact and create a more equitable supply chain. But she’s not just here to call out the industry’s biggest players for failing to keep the pace with societal change. With Remake, Ayesha Barenblat hopes to educate, too. “If we continually shout at people and make them feel terrible about their shopping habits, we are not going to move the needle — guilt and shame can only take you so far. Remake is very much rooted in love because I believe that’s…

J Lo’s Date-Night Gown Comes With the Most Dramatic Thigh-High Slit

April 18, 2022 at 08:51PM View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jennifer Lopez (@jlo) Jennifer Lopez’s latest date-night dress is the perfect mix of sexy and sophisticated. The newly engaged singer and actress recently posted an Instagram carousel, showing off a leg-baring green number with the caption “About last night 💚🍀 #JLovers #ThanksForVoting #DateNight.” The 52-year-old star wore a moss-green gown designed with a turtleneck and a dramatic high slit on one side that reached all the way to her hip bone. She posed on a bed in the head-turning look, which she accessorized with gold hoop earrings, chunky bracelets, and a matching gold belt around her waist. It wouldn’t be a J Lo outfit if a pair of high heels didn’t finish the look; she wore dark-green ankle-strapped heels to match her dress. Clearly, the star has a lot…

Harry Styles’s Rainbow-Sequin Jumpsuit Will Go Down in Coachella Style History

April 18, 2022 at 07:03PM Harry Styles lit up Indio, CA, like a disco ball when he took the stage at Coachella. While headlining the music and arts festival on April 15, the “Watermelon Sugar” singer dazzled in an all-sequin outfit custom designed by Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele. Similar to the getup Styles wore in his “As It Was” music video, the festive look appeared at first glance to be a jumpsuit but was actually a sleeveless top tucked into high-waisted trousers - which seems to be his new performance uniform. Both pieces were completely covered in multicolored, reflective sequins, and the tank top featured a plunging V-shaped neckline that showed off the star’s butterfly chest tattoo. With input from stylist Harry Lambert and creative director Molly Hawkins, Styles accessorized with heeled Gucci loafers, his go-to necklace featuring a cross and phallic…

10 Timeless Items French Women Have in Their Wardrobes

April 18, 2022 at 05:00AM I can trace my obsession with French style all the way back to the first time I watched Beauty and the Beast. Belle might have been bored with her provincial life, but I certainly wasn’t. I begged my aunt to let me cut the hem of an old blue bridesmaid dress that resembled Belle’s dress, asked my mum to style my hair in a bow every morning and insisted upon carrying a basket with me wherever I went. Today, I still find myself trying to emulate the look of French women, albeit with less taffeta. I trawl through vintage photographs of Paris, looking at the outfits French women have worn in the past, and I have an entire archive dedicated to saved images of the ensembles my favourite French influencers wear.Deciphering French style has been made easy thanks…
