J.Lo Wore the Jeans-and-Tee Combo Perfected by French Women

April 20, 2022 at 08:00AM Although it’s completely true that there’s nothing we love more than a full-blown Jennifer Lopez look (we’re talking about her iconic Versace jungle dress and, more recently, her bridal minidress by Giambattista Valli), it would be wrong for us to discount the Hustlers star’s more laid-back outfits. After all, whether it be a sundress or joggers, J.Lo really can make anything look good. Her latest one is no exception. While out and about in L.A., Lopez was spotted wearing the easygoing denim look that French girls have been donning for decades. Specifically, she combined a basic white T-shirt with high-rise, wide-leg jeans Ă  la Jane Birkin back in the 1970s. Keeping with the theme, she added a pair of sky-high platform heels, oversized sunglasses and large gold hoops. Apart from the absence of a woven basket bag (Lopez chose to instead accessorise with Coach’s logo-covered Beat shoulder bag), she…

These 12 Fragrances Smell Just Like Expensive Suncream

April 20, 2022 at 07:00AM Summer holidays are (finally!) back on the agenda and it’s never been more exciting to jet away to warmer climates. Whether it’s dozing under sun-dappled palm trees or returning from the beach with salty, sun-kissed skin, or sitting on your balcony pre-dinner with a packet of Lays, there are so many feel-good moments on a beach holiday. Perhaps that’s why the scent of suncream brings back those summer memories.After all, fragrance has the power to take you back to a holiday. There are some summer fragrances that we go back to every year, while some summers we stumble across a new-found favourite (this beauty editor’s favourite summer fragrance is just ÂŁ15) but, in my opinion, you can never go wrong with a fragrance that smells just like your bottle of SPF 50 and sun-kissed skin.So, what exactly makes suncream smell so…

Jennifer Lopez Wore a Chic Two-Piece Outfit to Copy When You’re Busy

April 20, 2022 at 06:52AM I’m probably not quite as busy as Jennifer Lopez, but not relatively speaking, I do consider myself to be pretty busy. And something that I never seem to be able to carve out time for is picking out outfits, even though it’s one of my favourite things to do. I usually wait until the very last minute to get dressed. Sometimes, I think about what I’m going to wear in advance, and sometimes, I don’t. My point is that I require easy outfit ideas in life that I can reach for when I have zero time to deliberate, and I’ll look for that easy outfit inspiration anywhere. This time, J.Lo provided it.While out in L.A. with fiancĂ©(!) Ben Affleck this week, Lopez wore a simple two-piece outfit consisting of a white T-shirt and black overalls (specifically, an overall-adjacent jumpsuit). I’m not…

Yes, You Should Be Wearing SPF Every Day—These Are the Only 15 Worth Your Money

April 20, 2022 at 06:30AM Given the miserable, cloudy nature of our climate, do we need to wear SPF in the UK every single day, rain or shine? No. Is it highly, highly recommended? Absolutely. The truth is, although UVB rays (the ones responsible for skin burning) can’t penetrate clouds or glass, UVA rays (the ones responsible for an acceleration in skin ageing) can. So although we might not require the daily application of SPF to the extent that other countries with higher UV indexes might, if you’re serious about preventing premature skin ageing, applying an SPF to exposed skin is the single best thing you can do for it.And no area of skin is more exposed to the sun than our faces. While the majority of our body remains protected underneath clothes, our faces lap up all of the damaging UVA rays that come…

How to Dress Sustainably This Festival Season

April 19, 2022 at 10:51PM Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty to love about Coachella fashion. I mean, where else would you see Harry Styles and Shania Twain perform in matching sequin ensembles? Over-the-top outfits have come to define the event, but that’s starting to change. As fashionable festivalgoers dress to impress in the crowded desert, a culture of overconsumption has become the norm. And one thing is urgently clear: we can’t keep going like this. After a three year pandemic hiatus, Coachella 2022 marked the return of in-person festivals on April 15. The fashion-forward affair was first in the line of various upcoming summer music events, including Canadian festivals Osheaga and Veld. But as the climate crisis intensifies, it’s impossible to ignore the environmental nightmare that is festival fashion. A 2019 study found that, every year, about 7.5 million festival outfits are…

Meghan Markle’s Cutout Minidress Reminds Us of Her Pre-Royal Style

April 19, 2022 at 09:35PM Meghan Markle’s latest style moments have incorporated several luxe white pieces into her wardrobe. During day two of the Netherlands-based 2022 Invictus Games, Markle attended the IGF Reception alongside Prince Harry in an ivory, floral laser-cut Valentino minidress with long sleeves, a rounded neckline, and a zipper at the back. Hitting above the knee, the silhouette allowed Markle to make the most of her footwear: brown suede pumps that perfectly complemented her husband’s oxfords. On the accessory front, she chose a gold Cartier Love bracelet and silver rings, including her three-stone engagement ring set on a sparkling, thin pavĂ© diamond band. Markle swept her loose waves to the side to reveal a bold red lip, which eagle-eyed Twitter fans pointed to as a pre-royal beauty move. An ornate white minidress was a look she previously gravitated toward in…

Hailey Bieber’s Stylist on Making Festival Fashion Interesting Again

April 19, 2022 at 08:25PM Supermodel Hailey Bieber, 25, has been a fixture at Coachella for years. She usually attends the Palm Springs, CA music festival in laidback looks with a nostalgic fashion slant; think ‘90s-inspired graphic tees mixed with cutoffs, or crop tops and cargo pants accessorized with body chains. For Bieber’sfestival outfits, her stylist Karla Welch - who also counts Justin Bieber and Tracee Ellis Ross as clients - often thrifts and sources items from her personal closet. That process inspired Welch’s new partnership with secondhand retailer thredUP on an edit of festival clothes ranging from printed denim to vintage tops. “The fashion from shows like 'Euphoria’ will definitely influence the trends people test out at festivals.” The collaboration couldn’t come at a better time, as festival season is proving to be one of the fashion industry’s most wasteful periods. thredUP…
