Kaia Gerber Just Wore the #1 Trend Every Celeb Is Wearing Instead of Jeans

April 11, 2022 at 06:41AM At this point, I’m beginning to sound like a broken record, but I’ll say it again: slouchy trousers are hugely popular with celebrities right now. Elle Fanning, Kate Middleton, and Jennifer Lopez are just some of the A-listers trading skinny jeans for all things relaxed and baggy. Never one to miss out on a stylish trend, Kaia Gerber was also just photographed wearing the same look.For a farmers-market stroll in Los Angeles with Austin Butler, Gerber wore a Leset Zoe Cable Crop V-Neck Pullover with Reformation Mason Pants, as well as her favorite Celine Triomphe 01 Sunglasses in Black Acetate and Chain Shoulder Bag Triomphe.

Scroll down to shop Kaia Gerber’s new outfit. On Kaia Gerber: Leset Zoe Cable Crop V-Neck Pullover; Reformation Mason Pants; Celine Triomphe 01 Sunglasses in…

I’m a Fashion Expert, and I Want to Copy These 18 Perfect Outfits

April 11, 2022 at 06:34AM Sometimes it feels like Instagram is only providing wild, adventurous, trend-smashing outfit ideas, and don’t even get me started on TikTok trends. The most visual social media hubs are, perhaps understandably, where colour and print and a bold approach are often rewarded. As a result, it can be hard to track down chic, easy, understated outfits to test for oneself without A) having to spend an absolute fortune, B) needing to rework an entire wardrobe or C) being an ardent minimalist.So while I’m all here for a crazy print clash, a vibrant hue or a strong silhouette, I also occasionally find myself in the mood for a little respite from the merry-go-round. That’s what this story provides. I’ve spent many years analysing outfits—on the streets, within the industry and now on platforms like IG—and can tell a winning, easy, copy-able look when I spot one. So below…

Oversized Blazers Are Big News—Here Are 21 We’re So Impressed By

April 11, 2022 at 06:24AM Looking for the perfect oversize blazer? We have a few suggestions.Some wardrobe essentials benefit from being a little roomy. Jumpers with a bit of give in them always seem to wear better, while relaxed shirts can bestow any outfit with an instant injection of cool. Similarly, constricting fabrications, such as leather, look all the more expensive and effortless when they don’t cling. And if there’s one item we always seem to gravitate towards with a slouchier silhouette, it’s oversized blazers.Previously, blazers were considered a stagnant piece of an office-worker attire; a stuffy item that you’d never consider wearing beyond the 9-to-5. But my, how times have changed. We don’t remember the moment blazers became “fashion,” but we can recall when oversized blazers became a thing, for this update was much more recent.Maybe six years ago, when ‘90s fashion made…

The Celeb-Approved Dresses That Are Taking Over Instagram

April 11, 2022 at 06:09AM There’s nothing the fashion set love more than a supremely extra party dress, and while The Vampire’s Wife has held the top spot for a few years now, we have a feeling that new entry Taller Marmo might just be about to steal the spotlight. Named after the Spanish word Taller, meaning workshop or studio, and Marmo, the Italian word for marble, the Milan-based label was founded in 2013 by designers Riccardo Audisio and Yago Goicoechea. With its distinctively nostalgic spirit, Taller Marmo specialises in luxurious eveningwear, specifically kaftan silhouettes that hark back to pieces worn by the likes of Elizabeth Taylor and Sophia Loren in the 1960s and ‘70s.While each dress has its own unique aesthetic—from jewelled tones and monochrome neutrals, to both fringed and feathered trims—they all boast a loose, flowing fit that drapes beautifully on the body. Spotted on the likes of Kylie Minogue and Pixie Lott, alongside plenty of…

J.Lo Wore Fashion’s Favourite Flat-Shoe Trend for a Date With Ben Affleck

April 10, 2022 at 08:00AM Jennifer Lopez is better known for wearing platforms than flats, but even she can’t resist the power of a practical shoe trend. Photographed with Ben Affleck in Los Angeles this weekend, J.Lo wore black Chanel loafers, a Wolford Colorado bodysuit layered under a Dolce & Gabbana jumpsuit, a Bottega Veneta bag and Prada sunglasses. Phew—that’s a whole lot of designer names all in one outfit. Although Lopez’s shoes are by Chanel, loafers are an extremely easy trend that you can buy at a range of price points. There’s no need to shell out tonnes of money to try the look. And yes, they’re very much on-trend right now. Below, I rounded up my favourite J.Lo-inspired loafers to fit different budgets. On Jennifer Lopez: Wolford Colorado bodysuit (ÂŁ173); Dolce & Gabbana jumpsuit; Bottega Veneta bag; Chanel loafers; Prada sunglassesI like the little block heel on this…

Experts Agree This One Skincare Product Is the First Step to a Healthy Glow

April 10, 2022 at 08:00AM If there’s only one beauty lesson that everyone should know, it’s that you should always remove your makeup. Leaving makeup on or even *shudders* sleeping in it can cause a whole host of skin problems, from breakouts and dryness to inflammation and irritation. Not properly cleansing your face to remove makeup is a situation you really don’t want to find yourself in.And I’m not talking a quick pass with a face wipe or micellar water, either. Makeup should be properly removed with deep-cleansing formulas. But honestly, I get it. Taking off your makeup every night with a proper cleanser feels like a lot of effort, and it can be all too easy to slip into bed with the promise to yourself that you’ll totally do a mask in the morning, right? The truth is taking makeup off after…

Makeup Artists Say These 6 Moisturisers Will Age You in Reverse

April 10, 2022 at 08:00AM “Benjamin Buttoning.” Ageing backwards. Stopping time. If there’s one effect or buzzword that elicits the same visceral reaction from beauty editors, skincare experts, and customers alike, it’s anything with the term anti-ageing in it. The truth of the matter is this: There’s no miracle cream, gel, serum or treatment that has the power to actually reverse or halt the signs of ageing on the skin. (Sorry, it just doesn’t exist.) That said, there are a small number of products that come pretty close, and we’re about to share an edit of them below.Per a roster of celebrity makeup artists—Emily Cheng, Naoko Scintu and Emma White Turle—we’re uncovering a curated selection of the best anti-ageing moisturisers. The keyword here being curated because according to them, not every cream or moisturiser on the market works the same. Luckily, they find that the below six do wield high-performing effects…
