From Hepburn to Aniston: 49 Oscars Red Carpet Looks We’ll Never Get Over

March 27, 2022 at 06:08AM Awards season is back, and the jewel in its crown—the Oscars—is upon us. Sure, most of us night spend our days in sweatpants and jeans, but we’re looking forward to the sartorial escapism that the Oscars red carpet will bring this year.  Since 1929, the Academy Awards has maintained firm footing in the zeitgeist not only by being a point of contention and conversation but also for history-making moments, including some of the best red carpet looks of all time. While some years are more memorable than others, we prefer to focus on the standout moments that made us smile. Sequins, satin, and sleeveless dresses may be timeless, but the best Oscars looks of all time aren’t always the safest bet—they’re daring, bold, and sometimes deemed “the worst” at first, but that’s what makes them iconic. Ahead, you’ll find the 49…

I’m a Shopping Editor, and These $45 Old Navy Jeans Rack Up the Compliments

March 26, 2022 at 04:05PM It’s hard to believe that my wardrobe consisted solely of skinny jeans. Looking back, it’s a bummer that I didn’t have a comprehensive denim collection, but I’m working overtime to make up for it these days. Enter my newfound appreciation for wide-leg styles, particularly those from Old Navy. Just a few weeks back, I waxed poetic about the Old Navy Extra High-Waisted Sky Hi Ripped Wide-Leg Jeans, but now I’ve added yet another epically good pair to my (growing) collection: the Extra High-Waisted Sky-Hi Straight Wide-Leg Jeans ($45), which look straight off of a runway. When I scrolled past them in the brand’s New Arrivals section, I did a double-take. The silhouette features curved forward-facing side seams and subtle fading, making them look vintage - and four times the price. They stood out in that they’re different than…

The genderless capsule collection made its debut at Paris Fashion Week last month and showcases Abloh’s affinity for reinterpreting classic designs with new references.

Valentino takes over Toronto’s Type Books Photography courtesy of ValentinoWhen one thinks of Valentino, the first thing that comes to mind isn’t necessarily books. However, the luxury designer wants to change that with Valentino Collezione Milano:…

11 Reasons Victoria Beckham Looks So Amazing at 47

March 26, 2022 at 08:00AM I’m lucky enough in my job to have access to celebrity facialists, top beauty brands and the best experts in the industry, but I’ve noticed more and more that it’s A-listers themselves who are becoming all the more influential when it comes to serving up legitimately good beauty advice. Of course, celebrities like Beyoncé and Jennifer Aniston are surrounded by the beauty industry’s cream of the crop on a daily basis—from makeup artists to hairstylists—so it’s really no surprise that they’ve picked up some expert beauty tips along the way. There’s one celebrity in particular, however, whose skincare knowledge I trust more than most: Victoria Beckham.With her very own beauty line under her belt and a dedicated beauty reel of product recommendations and top tips on her Instagram, Beckham’s love of all things beauty is obvious. Her passion for products combined with how open she has…

I Just Spent Hours Searching for the Best Midi Dresses for Spring

March 26, 2022 at 08:00AM Avalon Afriyie wears one of her favourite spring midi dresses.I’m a firm believer that midi dresses can be worn year-round and styled in myriad ways, whether that’s with a polo-neck and knee-high boots, an oversized jumper or wrap styles worn untied like a flowy bohemian-style cardi. However, come spring, when our choices are less about retaining heat under bundled layers and more about fanciful styling, the midi dress really comes into its own. I’m already envisaging flocking through tufts of overgrown grass and picnicking with friends at the mere thought of wearing a dress without tights.The efficiency of the spring midi dress is one of its many appeals. In one step, you’re dressed head to toe, with only accessories and outerwear to mull over. They’re just the right length to make you feel warm enough on blustery days yet light…

8 Spring Trends That Are Already Huge in Paris

March 26, 2022 at 08:00AM I used to live in Paris and try to make a point to visit, but no matter how long it’s been, I always keep a close eye on the fashion unfolding there. It’s truly one of the cities where fashion really happens on the streets, and there is perhaps no better example of that than Paris street style during Couture Fashion Week.Both local insiders and fashion people from across the world come together to attend the couture shows, and they also bring their coolest looks for the occasion. Seeing their outfits is a chance to preview which trends from the runways actually translate to fashion-insider wardrobes and which are about to take off in the coming months. With that in mind, there are plenty of great takeaways about what’s about to be big and the pieces worth adding to your cart now. Ahead are…

Top Hairstylists Have Spoken—These Are the Best Cuts for Every Face Shape

March 26, 2022 at 08:00AM Within the ever-colliding stratospheres of fashion and beauty, “rules” have become a bit passĂ©, if not obsolete altogether. Gone are the days when we’d refuse to wear white after Labor Day or dismiss navy and black as an ill-conceived colour pairing. Currently, we feel inspired to dye our hair a demurely shocking shade of lavender. A hot-pink eyelid is cooler than yesteryear’s smoked-out cat eye, and we’re even experimenting with crystal-studded manicures and cute-but-clashing polish shades. Our point? It’s an exciting time to be in fashion and beauty, and more so than ever before, our hair, makeup and fashion aesthetic reflect that.Hair, especially, has been the comeback kid of 2021. Previously old-fashioned styles like the mullet have been artistically resurrected, and we currently own more scrunchies, hair claws and butterfly clips than we did circa 1999. Impressive. That said, one…

The One Shoe Style All the Coolest Girls Will be Wearing This Year

March 26, 2022 at 08:00AM Platform boots have been back in our regular wardrobe rotation for a while now, and we’ve even had a warm weather version in platform flip flops. So it makes sense that something a little fancier would be next, especially since the comfort of the pandemic is now being exchanged for nights out again. A platform heel is, it turns out, the perfect transitional shoe to get us all used to dressing up again. But for 2022, it’s not the humble ‘70s platform that looks set for yet another comeback. It’s actually the stompy mary-jane that has caught the eye of the coolest girls around, and you can bet they’ll all be wearing them this year.In fact, many of our favourite fashion girls have been spotted in platform mary-jane heels already, from Camille Charriere to Susie Bubble and Lucy Williams (keep scrolling to see…
