December 24, 2021 at 08:00AM When promoting a fashion movie, one must dress the part, which explains why Lady Gaga, who is currently doing press for Ridley Scott’s upcoming Gucci biopic House of Gucci, has been going all out with her style choices of late. Her most recent look was especially on point, with the “Rain on Me” singer donning a chocolate-brown, flossy, cutout dress that featured an extremely high slit up the right leg. Making the look even sexier, she styled the dress—by the just-launched label Et Ochs (founded by former Cushnie et Ochs designer Michelle Ochs)—with D'Accori sky-high platform heels and gold jewelry courtesy of Alighieri. She wore the barely there look to a London screening of the film, which is out November 24. That same evening, she debuted a very different, though equally perfect ensemble that included a brown, logo-covered Gucci dress and matching cape from the Italian house’s…

December 24, 2021 at 06:30AM As much as we’d like to pretend they haven’t, winter temperatures have well and truly set in. The mercury has dropped, and to be frank, it is well below what a summer-loving Australian like me is used to. I am in need of a heavy dose of winter outfit inspiration, as getting through the coming months will require a lot of planning. Where better to turn than Instagram? From images of cosy coats shot among fallen leaves to envy-inducing fluffy jackets and roll-neck jumper combinations, our set of fashion friends definitely know how to make anyone crave winter dressing. While winter might not be my season of choice, one thing working in its favour is the fact that it provides more opportunity to experiment with my wardrobe. The abundance of layers required to get through the day inevitably equates to an endless number of outfit combinations, and…

December 24, 2021 at 06:30AM This year, beauty came back. After over a year (on and off) of not being able to visit our favourite salons, spas and clinics for our usual beauty pick-me-ups, their return was welcomed with open arms. Because sure, while learning how to do our nails, hair and waxing at home was fun for a little while, the truth is, going to the salon for a beauty treatment is an experience you just can’t recreate at home.Having said that, since beauty has opened back up, it’s safe to say that the way in which we want to spend our time has changed. Pre-pandemic, many of us wouldn’t have batted an eyelid at the prospect of running around town, hopping from salon to salon to tick off our beauty chores. Nowadays, however, we want convenience. Not only do we want to minimise the…

December 24, 2021 at 06:00AM Getting dressed can be a struggle at the best of times. Throw in the fact that it’s dark, cold and gloomy outside, and pulling yourself out of bed in the morning to choose an outfit is likely the last thing you want to do. So imagine how easy things would be if you had a handful of ready-made outfits at your disposal, all of which are weather-appropriate, incredibly chic and simple to assemble and will work just as well on wintry walks as they will for getting together with your nearest and dearest. Well, imagine no more, for we’ve compiled an edit of influencer-approved ensembles that do all this and then some.Below, you’ll find eight basic winter outfits that are anything but boring. In fact, you can likely compile with items that already exist in your wardrobe. They…

December 24, 2021 at 06:00AM The year 2000. We’ve been there, we’ve lived it, and I know I’m not alone in remembering the fashion wasn’t all that. I personally remember wearing a blue puffer coat, some low-rise boot-cut jeans, platform trainers and my Specsavers glasses to ring in the new millennium—not exactly imitation-worthy. That was (scarily) over 20 years ago, though, and in the way that fashion does, those noughties trends we thought we’d buried have well and truly come back around as if they’d never left.The resurgence may have been started by Gen Z in the depths of TikTok and Depop, but thanks to celebrities like Hailey Bieber, Bella Hadid and Dua Lipa sporting everything from baby tees to Juicy Couture, the Y2K trend is now a full-blown, very-hard-to-ignore thing. According to Lyst’s Year in Fashion report, the #y2kfashion hashtag has now generated more than 220 million…

December 24, 2021 at 06:00AM If the Duchess of Cambridge knows anything, it’s how to put together a Christmas Day outfit. Not that we’d expect anything less from Kate, but ever since her first appearance in 2011 with the royals at their traditional Christmas morning church visit, the duchess has been getting it right year after year, serving us some serious festive-dressing inspiration when we need it most. Like any good winter outfit, her looks always centre around a statement coat that says cosy but refined. Sometimes she pairs her outerwear with suede boots or classic courts, and there’s nearly always a fabulous headpiece, her go-to drop earrings and a hint of faux fur. As the duchess settled into royal life, her Christmas Day outfits only got better and better. You only need to glimpse at 2018’s wow-factor headband as proof.  So just in case you need last-minute outfit ideas for tomorrow…

December 24, 2021 at 06:00AM There isn’t a fashion girl we know who didn’t purchase or want a piece of Totême’s magic in their wardrobe this year. It was hard to avoid seeing the Stockholm-based brand all over our feeds—everyone from our favourite influencers to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (a long-time fan) and even Kourtney Kardashian was seen sporting the brand. Undoubtedly the label of 2021, it’s easy to see why. Our approach to dressing definitely shifted this year towards classic basics and seasonal staples more than ever before. It has, of course, been slowly happening for a while, but now more than ever, people are making considered purchases with sustainability and longevity in mind. And that’s exactly what Totême does best. Founded by fashion blogger Elin Kling in 2014, the brand creates classic staples that have a clear, identifiable edge, from denim and wear-forever outerwear to boots and even leggings. The Totême colour…

December 24, 2021 at 06:00AM It’s back! After what seemed like the longest wait, Emily has finally returned to Paris and our screens for a second season. Landing on Netflix last Wednesday, we’re presuming you’ve already binged at least some of it— or perhaps you’re saving it for that cosy lull in between Christmas and New Year to really enjoy it (totally understandable— and don’t worry, there’s no spoilers here). Either way, we all know it’s not Gabriel you’re watching it for (okay, a little bit Gabriel)— but mostly it has to be the outfits. Emily’s wardrobe may have divided opinion in the first season but whether you love her flamboyant style or loathe it, no one can deny the genius of the show’s costume consultant (and Sex and the City veteran) Patricia Field. From Emily’s bright and bold looks to Mindy’s outrageously fabulous ones and Camille’s…

December 24, 2021 at 05:42AM It may not be summer, but we can certainly dress like it. Ok, it might not exactly be bikini weather here in the UK, but we can look to next year’s biggest trends and start investing in pieces that will work hard in our wardrobe in the coming months and slot right into our spring/summer looks next year, too. Now, there are a lot of really fun trends for spring/summer 2022. To break it down, there is a divide between extreme minimalism (just think of the many monochromatic grids you will have seen whilst scrolling through your Instagram feed) versus the maximalism we also so very often see on some of our favourite influencers (especially in their Instagram Reels). From oversized suits to holiday dressing, I have handpicked my top 10 buys that tap into these key trends and that you can…

December 24, 2021 at 04:00AM There are a few classic winter pieces that many of our editors consider to be true wardrobe staples. Yes, timeless turtlenecks and black wool coats are at the top of the list. That said, given that we like to switch it up and test out new looks each season, there’s actually a new host of items that we’re adding to our rotations in an effort to update our closets. And yes, said items could easily become new wardrobe essentials.Ahead you’ll uncover an edit of the fresh winter trends that are front-runners for us because of their easy-to-style nature. For example, there’s a specific jumper silhouette that is bound to get a lot of mileage because it’s so versatile. There is also a denim cut that many on the team will be wearing on repeat throughout the season. Keep scrolling to check out…
