December 04, 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 04, 2021 at 08:00AM Before we get into this, we would like to preface this article by saying that no one needs to spend loads of money on skincare. When it comes to skincare, pricier doesn’t always mean better. You can get great skincare products for less than a tenner that will help get your skin on track and keep it looking as healthy as possible. With that being said, some of the best skincare products out there do come with hefty price tags, but an eye-watering price doesn’t necessarily mean you’re being ripped off. You see, when we’re talking about highly specialised ingredients, formulating a great product that actually works requires huge amounts of research, resources and knowledge, and that takes cash. One of the most highly regarded skincare brands to fall into this super-luxe, super-efficacious category is Dr. Barbara Sturm.Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is a…

December 04, 2021 at 08:00AM Within the ever-colliding stratospheres of fashion and beauty, “rules” have become a bit passé, 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…

December 04, 2021 at 08:00AM While social media can be a hub for all things fashion and beauty, skincare is a topic that can get a little tricky, especially when certain products start to trend. I’d be lying if I said I haven’t been guilty of succumbing to a viral product only to be disappointed when it didn’t exactly work for my skin. While following trends for clothes and makeup can be an easier feat, with skincare, it’s crucial to be cautious because what works for others may not work for you, and some products may seem like they’re working but can actually cause damage and irritation later on. It’s important to pay close attention to the ingredients before purchasing a product and to consult an expert if possible, especially if you’re facing specific skin concerns. Since I’ve been seeing quite a few products circulate around social media that have…

December 04, 2021 at 08:00AM The saying “you get what you pay for” applies to so many things in fashion, but one thing we struggle to justify it for is lingerie. Never has so little fabric amounted to so many pound signs as it does when you peruse luxury lingerie. And seeing as it’s something we wear, quite literally, every single day, it’s not something we’re prepared to spend our entire salary on, which is why we’ve scoured the digital shopping sphere to bring you the best affordable lingerie brands we can find.Emmanuelle Koffi wears a white lace lingerie set from Gooseberry Intimates. While they’ll save you some pennies in the process, if there’s one thing these affordable lingerie brands don’t skimp on, it’s style. From comfortable jersey triangle bralettes and big briefs to lace-trimmed teddies and even sultry see-through shorts, from an array…

December 04, 2021 at 08:00AM The Duchess of Cambridge stepped out in rainy Wolverhampton today for a series of engagements and proved, yet again, that denim is not the only way to pull together an easy, chic outfit. Wearing a look that was very reminiscent of a navy ensemble she chose on a royal tour last year (more on those looks below) she assembled a fitted coat over a polka-dot, contrast-collar blouse and with a trouser style that is fast becoming her signature: tailored flares.On Kate Middleton: Tory Burch Silk Satin Polka Dot Blouse; Jigsaw trousers. In a couple of styling moves that are now recognisably very HRH, Kate chose to go tonal (a move that makes any outfit simpler), to add in some classic pearl earrings and to ensure that her wide-leg trousers were (probably) tailored just so, in order to sit neatly above her…

December 04, 2021 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…

December 04, 2021 at 08:00AM What is behind our continued obsession with tie-dye? And when I say “our,” I mean everyone, not just the fashion crowd. While the trend might have exploded on the runways a few seasons ago (Dior, Proenza Schouler and Versace, to name a few), it wasn’t until we hit the first lockdown that the trend suddenly became the print du jour, with online global shopping platform Lyst reporting a huge increase in searches for the print last year. I think part of its appeal is to do with its roots—most recently in ‘60s hippie culture—and as such, it’s associated with a more laid-back lifestyle. In a world where anxiety is, understandably, at an all-time high, tie-dye gives the impression of being more chilled out even when you probably aren’t. Personally, my motivation for wearing tie-dye is somewhere in between the above reasons. I…
