Ah, the 1980s. The decade of shoulder pads wider than doorways and hairstyles dependent on whole cans of hair spray was not an easy time for minimalists or shy and retiring types. Many people who lived through the extreme fashions of the day recoil in horror now at the thought of them returning. Eighties outfits were all about ultra-conspicuousness and being noticed. From meringue dresses and rah-rah skirts to leg warmers and stilettos, Spandex and lamé to door-knocker earrings and giant sunglasses, this was the era of OTT style, and the ’90s took a sharp about-turn following the visual overload. Now, with time and distance from this wild fashion period, not all 1980s ensembles seem quite as hideous as they once did. In fact, I’d go so far as ...

The ’90s are back with a fervor. With trends first coming back onto the fashion scene a few seasons ago, we’ve truly hit our stride as we learn new and interesting ways to mix the retro trends into our more modern wardrobes. Without looking like we’re straight out of a Spice Girls music video or an Adidas advertisement from 1995, we’ve developed a huge crush on the style favorites that made the decade what it was. Our wardrobes are now rife with crop tops, track pants, and bomber jackets, and our after-hours looks consist of slip dresses, platform heels, and the occasional tube top. That’s right: We’ve reached peak ’90s nostalgia, but we’ve added a 2020 twist. Taking a retro trend and running with it isn’t always easy, though, so we’re looking for inspiration from some of our fav...

Is Maya Jama some kind of beauty industry diviner? In the year where we all spent a lot of time inside and, let’s be honest, continue to do so, Jama launched her own beauty brand. Her skincare line MIJ Masks launched with two masks—a hydrating all-over face mask and a some eye patch masks—and sold out in just 24 hours after it was released. When we spoke to her in December 2020, she told Who What Wear that even if she’s only had two hours sleep, “I’ll put on a face mask and it’ll feel like everything’s okay, even when it’s not”. It’s no wonder then that beauty products have continued to sell incredibly well over the pandemic.  Jama’s love of looking after her skin shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who follows her on Instagr...

It’s safe to say that we’re all looking forward to transitioning our wardrobes into spring. Though, it seems our excitement is surpassed by celebrities, the most stylish of which are already showcasing their impressive springtime wares. Just like the rest of us, the A-list clearly can’t wait to shed their winter layers in favour of floral dresses, sleeveless knitwear, and cover-ups that don’t involve excessive padding, as that’s precisely what they’ve been sporting over the last few weeks.  While celebrity street style is still relatively scarce at the moment, some stars are already serving up excellent new-season ’fits with their masks in tow. Cue, Kendall Jenner (in high street!), Gigi Hadid, Hailey Bieber, Katie Holmes, Chloë Sevigny, Emma R...

There’s something particularly alluring about timeless fashion. I’m always in awe of the kind of outfits you can look at and not necessarily pinpoint what year, decade, or era they’re from. Made from a combination of classic items—be it straight-leg jeans, button-down shirts, chunky knitwear, or open-toe shoes—these looks rely on the forever-favourite wardrobe heroes we wear again and again, season after season.  When it comes to celebrity style, I love stumbling across an image of someone who has been famous for years (think Jennifer Aniston or Naomi Campbell) and playing a silent, internal guessing game about when the photo was taken. For those celebrities who subscribe to a timeless aesthetic, this game can be more difficult than you’d think. ...

Early last year, Kendall Jenner did her part to make the Staud Tommy Bag an It bag, when she carried the zebra version on repeat occasions. A year later, she’s proving that the bag has staying power, as she just wore a newer colorful iteration of the bag out and about in New York. The Tommy Bag is a ’90s-style baguette shoulder bag covered in beads. This season, the offerings include animal prints, pastel gingham styles, geometrics patterns, and in Jenner’s case, a colourful psychedelic print called Millefiore.  No matter which you choose, each one of the bags is beautiful in person, and the style is roomy enough to hold all of your essentials and more. It’s also a great piece to add some excitement to your ward...

It’s not often that you see a Kardashian-Jenner wearing high street, but this weekend Kendall was photographed in New York wearing a £30 top from Mango. Her outfit was a departure from her usual styling, as she opted for a 70s ‘grandad’ look wearing loafers with ribbed socks, green khaki trousers and a vest top layered over a white Oxford shirt.  Her knitted vest has 70s earthy tones with a horizonatal stripe using terrocota, lime and dark grey colours, and is surprisingly still available in all sizes. We love how she layered it over a smart white shirt, which was left untucked and visible underneath the vest for a more relaxed feel. This vest also comes with matching knitted shorts, for those who are looking for summer loungewear options. As for the rest of the look...

Launching a business at any time is quite the feat, but launching a business during a pandemic? Model Leomie Anderson isn’t mad, but she is exceptionally hard-working, and such a task requires that kind of stamina. Before the pandemic, the longest she’d been in her home city of London was four weeks, she tells me. In fact, she hadn’t spent a full year in the capital in the past 12 years, as she was so often travelling for work. With high-profile gigs ranging from Redken commercials to L’Officiel covers, she clearly isn’t afraid of grafting at the behest of brands or magazines, but like most of us grounded in the UK, it gave her time to focus on other things, such as the relaunch of her multifaceted brand LAPP. Perhaps it’s unsurprising that she...

That said, Jamil is always quick to ensure she doesn’t come across as judgemental. “I’m not here to shit on anyone who’s had botox, there are a lot of trans people in the world who rely on surgery or botox to live a safe life. But I think we need to be more transparent about it and shift our goalposts to what we think is important. Those of us with big platforms have a duty to remind people that they are not just what they look like.” This perhaps is the key point Jamil is making. While plenty of celebrities, actresses and A-listers might look a certain way when dressed up and having had their hair and makeup done, when it’s off, they don’t look like that. Despite her desire to be transparent, that doesn’t mean Jamil hates clothes and makeup—far from it,...

A year ago, the A-list uniform largely consisted of beautiful occasionwear, high heels, sharp tailoring, and an endless array of designer arm candy. Of course, we’re aware that this aesthetic may not apply to everyone in showbiz, but for the most part, it rings true. However, after a year where premieres were cancelled, awards shows were held on Zoom, and celebrity street style was practically rendered obsolete, the stars have subscribed to the loungewear life in a big way—just like the rest of us. What sets celebrity loungewear apart from ours? Turns out, not a whole lot. There are, however, a handful of key items that everyone, from Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to Rihanna, seems to own. So, if you’re looking to upgrade your current loungewear situation, we’ve rou...

Zoë Kravitz is one of the few celebrities who possesses the rare talent to make just about anything look cool. Whether she’s on a red carpet in a fitted gown (when that kind of thing is allowed) and opera gloves or at an event in a shirt and black skinny jeans, Kravitz has the inimitable ability to make each and every look feel incredibly modern. Case in point? Zoë’s love of loafers. While the classic shoe may have come back into fashion’s good books a few years back when Alessandro Michele created Gucci’s fur-lined iteration, it’s since the start of 2021 that we’ve seen a sudden passion for the sensible leather flats once more. But Kravitz, as always, was well ahead of this curve. This time last year she was wearing loafers on repeat, when eve...
