March 11, 2022 at 07:15PM As a former New Yorker, I don’t own a lot of colorful clothing. I’m a neutrals kind of gal with a preference for all-black everything - but I’m trying hard to change that, especially since spring is near. Right now, it also just so happens that everyone’s talking about the dopamine dressing trend for 2022, aka the art of dressing in bold, colorful pieces that boost our mood. With this in mind, I’ve been slowly but surely adding some color to my wardrobe. And so far, so good. My latest investment? Old Navy’s Brushed Shaker-Stich Cardigan ($45), which caught my eye for its overwhelming amount of five-star reviews. So despite my natural inclination to buy it in black or cream, I pressed “Add to Bag” in a pink color dubbed Dried Rose. It felt like the perfect piece…

March 11, 2022 at 07:00PM Dua Lipa and Megan the Stallion released a new single, “Sweetest Pie” on March 11, and the accompanying video is a fashion feast for the eyes. Embracing this season’s Victorian and Matrix-inspired trends, the two Grammy award winners make a case for patent leather, opulent jewelry, extravagant headpieces, and spider couture. Set in an enchanting forest, the opening scene finds Megan moving gracefully in a tight-fitting, black patent leather gown featuring a plunging neckline, long sleeves and a cascading bell skirt. Accessorized with gold bracelets, collar necklaces, and a black wide-brim hat, the 27-year-old rapper’s look packed plenty of allure. Lipa, who posed next to her, donned an ornate Schiaparelli couture gown that turned her into the chicest witch on a mission to captivate her suitors. The surrealist-looking design featured a gold-trimmed sweetheart neckline and S-shaped horns embellished…

March 11, 2022 at 05:43PM Bella Hadid joined the list of models donating their Fashion Week earnings this season. Inspired by her sister Gigi Hadid and Argentine model Mica Argañaraz, the model announced on March 9 that she would be allocating her total fall 2022 Fashion Week earnings to those affected by conflict in Ukraine and Palestine. Hadid, whose father is Palestinian, walked in at least 15 runway shows this season. In a statement on Instagram, Hadid said her donation would go toward organizations providing refugee and medical aid. “I wholeheartedly stand with them in support.” Hadid said it’s been an “emotional and humbling experience” witnessing Ukrainian friends and colleagues work through Fashion Week despite Russia’s invasion of their home country. “We rarely have control of our work schedules and this week has really shown me the strength and perseverance of the people…

March 11, 2022 at 05:30PM The fall 2022 season found designers in the four major fashion capitals reflecting on the state of the world. The result? A new set of trends - from reimagined sportswear to reworked denim - to welcome a future where we resume our pre-pandemic lives, hopefully with wisdom gained from the past couple of years. With Miu Miu’s viral low-rise miniskirts, the love affair with Y2K fashion continues. Diesel’s denim-clad models and Loewe’s jean shoes signal a new era for the timeless textile. Elements inspired by motorcycle racing were introduced; blazers were tailored to project a sense of gravitas; and lingerie-style pieces like sheer bras and corsets were designed to be seen. And for those of us who feel the return to normalcy is too abrupt, there’s no shortage of blanket silhouettes that don’t sacrifice style or comfort. Each…

March 11, 2022 at 04:45PM Following appearances at Fashion Month where she attended the Dior show in a sheer lace slip, Off-White in a leather minidress, and Gucci swathed in purple fur, Rihanna is not slowing down. Every maternity style moment she executes is more memorable than the last. For an outing in Beverly Hills, the beauty mogul, designer, and star channeled ‘90s grunge in two edgy, leather Acne Studio pieces layered expertly: a fitted python vest and oversize moto jacket. She left her coat open to highlight the coordination between its black-and-beige distressed detail and the buff-toned snake print. As usual, she piled on the gold jewelry, including a Patcharavipa diamond necklace, jumbo zodiac pendant from Briony Raymond, and Jacquie Aiche’s delicate Sophia bra, to trace the shape of her bralette. A pair of baggy, ripped Vetements jeans gave way to a…

March 10, 2022 at 09:45PM As a shopping editor, I personally check Free People every day for new arrivals, because I love the unique pieces. March’s new arrivals are full of flowy dresses, playful jackets, and lacy tops. I will say, with over 700 new releases, it can be hard to figure out what’s worth buying. That’s why I curated a shopping guide of the coolest, cutest pieces that should be on your radar. Ahead, check out my top choices that you should consider adding to your cart for spring.

March 10, 2022 at 09:25PM On a visit to the Ukrainian Cultural Centre in London on March 9, Kate Middleton wore a yellow-and-blue pin (Ukraine’s national colors) and a soft-blue Alexander McQueen sweater to emphasize the point. The duchess learned about the efforts being made to support Ukrainians in the UK and across Europe as well as details about donations being made to those on the front lines following Russia’s invasion. Some will note that the style choice follows in Princess Diana’s footsteps, who routinely wore specific colors or designers out of respect for the territory or country she was visiting. For her first royal visit to Wales in 1981, for example, Diana styled silk suit separates in the signature Welsh shades of green and red. For Emperor Hirohito’s 1986 banquet at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Diana wore a royal-blue dress by…
