Ashley Park and Lily Collins Tease an Emily in Paris Season Full of Designer Looks

December 14, 2021 at 08:55PM Emily in Paris’s Ashley Park and Lily Collins are here to hype us up for season two of the Netflix series, where their characters Mindy and Emily will continue to be high fashion besties. Clearly, the tight relationship remains solid offscreen too, as both actors posted shots from their day of press in luxury designer pieces. While Collins wore a full look straight off the fall 2021 Celine runway, sourced by Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, Park, styled by Erin Walsh, coordinated a strong-shouldered double-breasted Balmain blazer with a kelly green minidress, gold chainlink necklace, Versace Virtus bag, and Thom Browne oxford platforms. “Hundreds of hours clocked with @lilyjcollins these past weeks… and each one better than the last truly đź’š,” she captioned her photo, confirming that the duo enjoy promoting EIP just as much as it seems.…

The Surprisingly Gendered History of the Vest

December 14, 2021 at 08:58PM The vest has been making its return for some time now. In recent years, it’s been spotted on the runway, and models like Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid have been sporting a reimagined version of the garment sans undershirt. And while you might associate this street style staple with the fashion of the early aughts, its lineage can actually be traced back to the 17th century, when King Charles II of England introduced the garment as part of “correct dress” for men (as fashion embraces the Regencycore aesthetic, it’s only fitting that the vest – and its royal lineage – follow suit). The unassuming top would later symbolize rebellion against ideas of gendered clothing, today exuding a stylish aura of androgynous comfort. Its appeal is in its versatility. When worn tightly with nothing underneath (Ă  la model off duty),…

Sure, Zendaya’s Slinky Chain Top Is Sexy, but We’re More Enthralled by Her Wild Cargo Pants

December 14, 2021 at 05:15PM Everyone’s busy talking about Zendaya’s beaded cobweb dress at the Los Angeles premiere of Spider-Man: No Way Home - and rightfully so; have you seen it?! - but earlier that day, the actress stunned in an equally as head-turning outfit that should not be overlooked. While heading to film a Jimmy Kimmel Live interview with Tom Holland on Dec. 13, Zendaya took a break from dipping into Law Roach’s vintage fashion archives and wore a straight-off-the-runway look from Balmain’s spring 2022 collection. Though her sheer metallic tank top was an instant attention-grabber, with its delicate gold chains strung together to create a ruched effect, we were more occupied by dissecting her intriguing white pantsuit. Both the oversize blazer and cargo pants of Zendaya’s suit featured long strips of extra fabric that trailed behind and grazed the ground as…

These 4 High Street Coats Look So Expensive

December 14, 2021 at 04:23PM It is now officially very cold, and so a reliable winter coat is an absolute essential. While a MaxMara or Toteme coat will always be my dream purchase, I’ve been really impressed by some of the tailored, wool coats that have been on offer on the high street recently. The key to an expensive-looking coat really is the silhouette. Think oversized, falling on the ankles and with plenty of room on the body so you can layer it over a chunky knit. There are four high street coats in particular that really stand out right now and all have this structure, and are either in ecru, grey and navy. My favourite is a stone-coloured overcoat from & Other Stories, closely followed by a black and white chevron-print coat from Zara. If you’re still on the great coat hunt, keep…

There Is an Invisible String Leading Me to Taylor Swift’s Golden Birthday Dress

December 14, 2021 at 04:29PM Taylor Swift had a birthday party with her “Sagittarius queen” bestie Alana Haim to celebrate their 32nd and 30th birthdays, respectively. Posting pictures from the event, Taylor promised fans they tested everyone for COVID beforehand and also made a cute reference to her song “22”: “*don’t say it, don’t say it OKAY I’m saying it:* I’M FEELIN 32.” Of course, if you’re a Swiftie, you might also be concerned with the gold sequin dress she was wearing, which has caused quite the stir on Twitter. Teamed with her signature red lip, what on earth could the look be signifying? The world knows that anything Taylor shares with fans usually packs a hidden meaning, so we’ve all taken note of this style move. “Taylor swift didn’t wear this gold dress on her b'day for y'all to say she is…

The Fashion Moments That Defined 2021

December 14, 2021 at 02:10PM This was the year that reignited our love for fashion. After the truly heinous 2020 - a deeply traumatizing year that gave us all emotional and mental scars - 2021 felt like a cautious step closer to being OK again. There was a collective feeling of “We all made it through the worst of it!” A global exhale of sorts that felt OK (or at least a little more OK) enough to celebrate silly, superficial things like fashion and pop culture again. Red carpets were back! It was OK to laugh at memes! Fashion Weeks returned! Celebrity couple debuts were no longer relegated to just Instagram posts, so we were allowed to celebrate Bennifer 2.0 the way we were truly meant to: through glorious paparazzi yacht pics from Saint-Tropez! Designers pivoted from cozy, homebound, tie-dye sweatsuits into ultra-aesthetics…

Zendaya Stuns in a Slinky Spiderweb Slip Dress and a Gothic Venetian Mask

December 14, 2021 at 02:08PM Zendaya’s stylist Image Architect Law Roach is such a master of his craft. For the Spider-Man: No Way Home premiere in Los Angeles, Zendaya arrived in a slinky, cobweb-covered slip dress that looked like it was hanging on by a thread. The dress complemented her costar Tom Holland’s sleek double-breasted Prada suit, with the couple matching in Christian Louboutin footwear. Zendaya’s beige, lace slip dress covered in black beaded spiderweb embroidery is a custom design by Valentino. Roach completed the look with sparkling, black pointed-toe Louboutin heels, jewels by Bulgari, and a black lace masquerade mask. Zendaya’s straight back braids, navy blue eyeliner, and wine-red tipped manicure added subtle texture and color to her outfit and the overall “spider theme.” Holland matched his date’s beige gown by wearing a double-breasted brown silk suit that was custom designed by…

22 Very Old Trends I’m Still Wearing Today

December 14, 2021 at 05:00AM I’m a huge fan of ‘70s fashion—the era created a host of trends that still stand up today, whether you realise they’re from that time or not. Think of our current obsession with bright over-the-knee boots, folk-inspired printed dresses, velvet and corduroy, boho blouses, midi skirts and so on. While the '70s sweep over the runways every couple of seasons, there’s always a hint of it on the streets if you look closely.Think of the iconic designer names that were indelibly marked into history during this decade, like Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld and Diane von Furstenberg. Also, during this period, mass-market, trend-driven fashion was more readily available. Barbara Hulanicki’s Biba kick-started the idea in London a decade earlier, alongside boutiques such as Bus Stop, and cool, connected girls were able to switch up their looks more readily, which likely led…
