Lily James’s Latest Red Carpet Outfit Is 99% Cutouts

January 26, 2022 at 05:30PM We’ve seen a plethora of cutout dresses, cutout swimsuits, and even cutout pants on the celebrity style circuit as of late, but a cutout blazer? Now that, folks, is a first in our book. Lily James made a strong case for the unexpected trend during a Pam & Tommy press event on Jan. 25, and now we have no choice but to hop on board. The 32-year-old actor, who portrays Pamela Anderson in the upcoming Hulu series, seemingly paid homage to Anderson’s sultry style, wearing a pink blazer with so many crisscrossed openings, it resembled a fashionable cage of sorts. Playing peek-a-boo underneath was a silver corset-style minidress embellished with crystals and covered in - you guessed it - even more cutouts. Styled by Rebecca Corbin-Murray, James’s two-piece set hails from Atelier Versace’s fall/winter 2021 collection. She finished…

The Penny Lane Coat is the Ultimate Y2K Winter Staple

January 26, 2022 at 02:21PM There aren’t many things that get me excited about enduring a long, cold winter, but a Penny Lane coat is one of them. The cozy garment, with its signature furry lapels and cuffs, has long been a winter style staple. First invented in Afghanistan around the 1920s, it became known as the Afghan coat. By the late 1960s, the garment was a trademark of the hippie fashion scene in the west. But we have the 2000 dramedy Almost Famous, starring Kate Hudson as Penny Lane, to thank for solidifying the coat as a Y2K favourite.

I’m a Firm Believer in Statement Jackets, and This Mango Buy is Just So Good

January 26, 2022 at 11:18AM Someone once asked me the one item of clothing I would most recommend investing in. Perhaps expecting me to say a basic, she was surprised when I replied: a statement jacket. Yes, this isn’t something that will necessarily fit into everyone's wardrobe, but for me it’s the one thing I turn to again and again. It’s by far the easiest way to add personality to the clean-lined staples sitting in my wardrobe. Well, this week I stumbled across a Mango jacket that could not be a better example of the power of souped-up outwear.Coming in a cosy faux fur fabric, delicate shade of pale yellow and simple silhouette, I couldn’t help but fall in love with it the moment I saw it on the site. My suspicions were confirmed when trend-setter Blanca Miro was snapped in the jacket on her Instagram feed (styled with a very cool pair of animal print…

January 26, 2022 at 08:00AM Congratulations are in order for one of the OG French influencers Camille Charrière.

January 26, 2022 at 08:00AM If you have fine hair, you’ve probably gone through your fair share of dry shampoo, fringes sticking to your face, and curls that fall out within minutes.

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

January 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…

What to Never Wear on a Plane, From a Flight Attendant

January 26, 2022 at 08:00AM Despite how much we admire celebrity airport style, it’s not always so easy to figure out what you should wear on a plane when push comes to shove, especially now that many of us have put our travel plans on pause for a while. Stilettos and high-waisted leather pants look great in paparazzi shots of stars strutting through airport terminals, yet in action, these statement-making ensembles can prove a bit trickier. And though we’d all love to look our best when hitting the skies, certain wardrobe pieces are best left in a checked bag or carry-on. Who better to inform us of what to never wear on a plane than someone who works at 35,000 feet? We reached out to American Airlines flight attendant Andrea Fischbach to spill her list of things you shouldn’t wear when flying for the sake…
