Thandiwe Newton and Daughter Nico Parker Wear Versace to Celebrate First Film Together
Thandiwe Newton‘s adorable daughter Nico Parker is following in her mum’s footsteps. The duo attended the premiere for Reminiscence on Tuesday, 17 Aug., which is their first film together. To celebrate such an epic mum-daughter milestone, Newton and Parker both wore sparkling Versace minidresses on the red carpet. Nico Parker’s acting career is starting out strong thanks to her mama, and it seems that her red carpet style is also getting superstar guidance. To attend the premiere for Reminiscence, Newton wore a metallic, one-shoulder Grecian-inspired Atelier Versace minidress with a single yellow silk sleeve, and gold-and-silver fringe and vine details. Parker wore a sparkling blue paisley-print Versace minidress with matching tights from the brand’s 2022 resort col...
The 2021 British Fashion Awards Returns to the Royal Albert Hall This November
After a year-long hiatus from a dazzling red carpet, The Fashion Awards is returning to the Royal Albert Hall on Monday, 29 Nov, 2021. While celebrating those who have had a transformative impact on the fashion industry in 2021, the British Fashion Council (BFC) is repositioning this year’s event as an entertainment platform to show how fashion is a cultural meeting point for brands, creatives, designers, and artists. The most anticipated awards at The Fashion Awards 2021 will go to Designer of the Year and the recipient of the BFC Foundation Award. Previous winners of Designer of the Year are Daniel Lee for Bottega Veneta (2019), and Pierpaolo Piccioli for Valentino (2018), with previous recipients of the BFC Foundation Award going to Wales Bonner (2019), and Molly Goddard (2018).

The Moment Princess Diana’s Wedding Dress Designer Knew Her Life Was Forever Changed
Image Source: Getty via Bettmann Kensington Palace’s summer exhibition Royal Style in the Making is an exquisite look at the craftsmanship behind the royal family’s most memorable gowns. With a focus on dresses worn by Princess Diana, Princess Margaret, and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, one of the most exciting parts of the exhibition are the exclusive interviews with some of the most decorated royal couturiers. Elizabeth Emanuel, along with her partner David Emanuel, cocreated Diana’s iconic 1981 bridal gown, and the designer shared the moment she knew her life was forever changed.

Normani, Cher, and Saweetie Star in Pirelli’s 2022 Calendar Dedicated to Musicians on Tour
The 2022 Pirelli Calendar “On The Road” by musician Bryan Adams and shot by photographer Alessandro Scotti celebrates some of the world’s best musical talents from diverse nationalities, music genres, ages, and levels of experience. “On The Road” shares an intimate look at musicians on tour during different stages of the day — starring Cher, Grimes, Jennifer Hudson, Normani, Rita Ora, Bohan Phoenix, Iggy Pop, St. Vincent, Kali Uchis, and Saweetie. “On the road where I have been for the last 45 years,” Adams explains his inspiration in a press statement. “Because the life of a musician is made up of roads, travel, waiting in hotels, hours back stage.” Shot between Los Angeles and Capri, the 48th edition of the iconic calendar features St...
Mabel Wears a Sultry Mugler Catsuit For a Special Performance at the Love Island Villa
Swedish-English singer Mabel confirmed her It girl status at the 2021 Love Island villa by wearing a sultry Mugler catsuit during her special performance. Following her win for Best Female Solo Artist at the 2020 BRIT Awards, it’s only fitting that the High Expectations singer wore the most sought-after designer of the summer for her Love Island debut. It’s no secret that Mugler’s fetishistic designs are in the midst of a renaissance. It all started when Cardi B wore the iconic Oyster dress from the brand’s autumn/winter 1995 collection to the 2019 Grammys, and then Kim Kardashian wore an archival Mugler wet-look dress to the 2019 Met Gala a few months later. The illusion catsuit worn by Mabel on Love Island looks to be from Mugler’s spring/summer 2021 collect...

Dua Lipa never misses a beat with her fun, colourful, throwback outfits. The Future Nostalgia singer has fully committed to the Y2K fashion aesthetic with help from her exceptional stylist Lorenzo Posocco. If you’ve ever wanted to know how to copy her best Y2K fashion moments, we have a few tips that will make it a piece of cake. Dua’s take on Y2K style means a lot of pink and butterfly details. Some of her best summer looks include a baby tee or cropped top with a pair of animal-print jeans. She loves matching the colours in her outfit with her accessories — especially her shoes, baguette bags, tinted sunglasses, thin belts, and chunky rings. On the topic of rings, a Dua look is incomplete without them. Like fellow stylish star Sophie Turner, Dua loves stacking candy-coloured ...
Love Island 2021: 5 Clothing Brands the Bombshells Wear on Repeat
Fit boys, falling in love, and a gorgeous villa in Majorca — it’s not easy being a bombshell on Love Island 2021. And while we are on the edge of our seats to know who’s coupling up at the end of each episode, we’re equally curious about where all the gorgeous girls got their great summer outfits. You might be familiar with the ladies of Love Island wearing fashions from Pretty Little Thing and Oh Polly. But for the much-awaited seventh series, we were happily surprised with some new brands gracing the sizzling small screen. Zara is becoming a staple in the bombshell wardrobe with both Millie Court and Faye Winter wearing slinky slip dresses from the affordable high-street brand. We’re also keen about under-the-radar brand Farai London worn by Rachel Finni, which se...
What to Wear to a Music Festival This Summer, Inspired by Our Favourite Stylish Brits
When it comes to festival fashion, no one does it quite like the UK. At England’s best summer music festivals, don’t expect to see flower crowns, glitter makeup, or Woodstock-inspired outfits. Instead, it’s all about Hunter boots, a cute waterproof jacket, and the shortest shorts you can possibly find. We searched through the best celebrity fashion moments from Glastonbury and found nine classic music festival outfits that we bet you’ll copy at least once this summer. Joining the trifecta of wellies, short shorts, and raincoats are a few pieces that are equally worthy of praise. Although we aren’t ones to go full hippy like the Coachella lot, late-’60s and early-’70s style has perennially charmed British festivalgoers. Expect to see crochet looks, ...
Ahluwalia and Mulberry’s Capsule Collection Is a Powerful Tribute to Black Hair
Ahluwalia recently collaborated with luxury brand Mulberry, to release a limited-edition capsule collection of 12 tote bags and four silk scarves. Leading the collaboration is the signature Mulberry Portobello tote, which Ahluwalia has reimagined in three different variations. The first is a series of oversized Portobello totes, followed by five regular sized ones, and three mini totes — a size that was developed specifically for the capsule. According to the release, “the collection is influenced by Ahluwalia’s fascination with hair as a means of identity, protest and expression, drawing on the designer’s mixed Nigerian-Indian heritage, both cultures in which hair holds such importance.” In order to further the collaboration, Mulberry has signed up to the Halo Code...
How Victoria and The Serpent Shape Jenna Coleman’s Personal Style
Jenna Coleman found her signature style in 2016 following her role as Queen Victoria in ITV’s Victoria. Before playing the monarch, Coleman’s fashion sense was noticeably classic, with lots of maxi-length printed dresses in traditional silhouettes, but it became even more refined while playing the queen. In addition to the royal references, Coleman’s role as the stylish ’70s criminal Marie-Andrée “Monique” Leclerc in The Serpent had a sartorial impact on summer 2021 fashion trends, like wide-leg trousers and babushka scarves, as well as on Coleman’s own post-lockdown outfits. Coleman loves a printed midi dress in a richly textured fabric like jacquard, velvet, bouclé, or lace. When choosing pieces, she often goes for shades of blue, white, grey, or...
Reuben Selby on His Spring 2022 London Fashion Week Collection and Working With Maisie Williams
It’s been over a year since an emerging designer was able to put on an in-person showcase at London Fashion Week, and on 12 June, the spell of isolation was finally lifted. London-based designer Reuben Selby presented his second collection at this year’s London Fashion Week — after his Paris Fashion Week debut was met with immense praise — and the result was undoubtedly inspiring (there were also some pretty special guests in attendance, including Griff and Bimini Bon Boulash). The spring/summer 2022 showcase was inspired by Selby’s mum’s home in the Philippines, as well as the cultural melting pot that is the city of London. Titled “Clash”, the genderless collection was made up of deadstock materials from The Fabric House and featured a striking green t...
12 Modern Pearl Necklaces to Buy If You Love Vivienne Westwood’s Iconic ’90s Orb Choker
Pearl is the official stone of the month of June, but that’s not the only reason that summer fancies these classic water gems. Pearl jewellery has long been associated with evening wear and mature women, but since stars like A$AP Rocky, Harry Styles, and Machine Gun Kelly started trading their gold chains for pearl necklaces, the classic jewellery item has gained an edgier, gender-fluid following. Most credit is due to the men stars championing pearls for summer 2021, but it was really the comeback of Vivienne Westwood’s orb logo pearl choker necklace that inspired us to add a piece to our own jewellery collection. Recently worn by Dua Lipa at the 2021 BRIT Awards, while having a massive revival on TikTok, Vivienne Westwood’s Bas Relief Choker necklaces are the perfect co...
