September 20, 2021 at 07:50AM TV’s (and now streaming’s) biggest night is here—the Emmys. While last year’s show was mostly virtual, this one is in person, but it’s not exactly like past shows. The guest list is smaller, with just nominees and a certain number of guests, and there’s a limited red carpet.Even though it’s a smaller red carpet, hey, at least we get one! As we’ve seen with both the VMAs and Met Gala, everyone seems to be turning it up even more, perhaps to make up for lost time. We’re not mad about that. While we love to see what everyone’s wearing, we’re equally excited about the makeup looks. Granted, the Emmys might be a little bit more subdued than the VMAs and Met Gala, but there were some dramatic and showstopping beauty looks this year. Take a look at some of our…

September 20, 2021 at 06:09AM It’s Fashion Week season! Well, sort of. While some of the action is still taking place on a digital scale, this feels like the first time shows are going ahead with a semblance of normality about them since the start of the pandemic, and we think that’s worth celebrating. Chances are you’ll already have seen our team up bright and early, donning our glad rags and hitting the streets of Soho on social. And, to mark the glorious return of London Fashion Week, we’ve charted some of the incredible designers on the schedule for you below, a showcase of what Great British style has to offer. As only about half of the usual LFW designers are hosting in-person shows, we have decided to embrace our digital-based existence by championing the amazing Brit designers whose collections usually hit the runways twice…

September 20, 2021 at 06:05AM The vast majority of lingerie trends come and go, but knickers are for life, which is ironic seeing as they’re the underwear style that is constantly overlooked. Bras command most of the attention, likely because they can be styled in a way that makes them integral to your outfit—think a flash of lace underneath an unbuttoned blouse or simply on its own as your ensemble’s main focal point. However, as knickers are, for the most part, going to be covered up (sheer and naked dresses aside), they’re all too often forgotten about. It’s a shame because there are so many beautiful briefs out there.Now, though, lingerie brands are putting knickers back in the spotlight, making shopping for your smalls a more stylish endeavour than ever before. But do you know your Brazilian from your bikini? Your French from your…

September 20, 2021 at 06:00AM Ask any skin expert what the most important part of your skincare routine is, and hands down, you’ll find that the answer is always the same: cleanser. It’s no surprise, really. Cleansers are basically the cement that holds the rest of your products together. Get that first step wrong and the rest of your routine is likely to crumble. Not only do cleansers do the hard work of removing daily grime, pollution and makeup from your skin, but if you choose the right one, it can also do everything from sloughing away dead skin cells to calming breakouts. With so many cleansers out there, how do you really know which one is going to do the best job for your skin?To start with, it’s important to really understand your skin type—something which can be genuinely confusing to the…

September 20, 2021 at 06:00AM I love a good suit. An alternative to the traditional cocktail dress, I love opting for tailored pieces for weddings and other formal events. However, come summertime, I’m a pretty big advocate for going trouser-less. This is why I’m such a fan of the trend that celebs like Dua Lipa and Jennifer Lopez just can’t stop wearing on the red carpet: the tuxedo dress.The perfect marriage of a suit and minidress, tuxedo dresses are essentially just elongated tuxedo jackets or blazers and are sometimes cinched at the waist. They’re a surefire way to look polished for any occasion. What I love most about them is their versatility. They look great paired with towering sandals or pumps, but they can just as easily be paired with any of 2021’s sneaker trends for a casual yet elevated look. Another styling tip? Many tuxedo…
