BRITs 2021: Fashion’s New Socially Distanced Accessory Is a Pair of Opera Gloves
Opera gloves were the unexpected accessory of choice at the 2021 BRIT Awards. Held live from London’s O2 Arena on Tuesday, 11 May, some of the best dressed stars on the red carpet had a few things in common: pastel ruffles, neon gowns, and “COVID friendly” accessories like designer masks, socially distanced headpieces, and opera gloves that completed a co-ordinated look. Two of the most memorable outfits on the red carpet came from Mabel and Raye. The singers wore body-hugging neon gowns with Mabel in lime green, Raye in fuchsia, and long elegant opera gloves to match. Jessie Ware and Lianne La Havas also chose opera gloves to complete their looks, but instead went for a more minimal palette of black and animal print. It makes so much sense why opera gloves are so popular...
Taylor Swift Wears a Sparkling Miu Miu Ensemble to Accept the BRIT Award For Global Icon
While we were all staying safe during lockdown, Taylor Swift was busy releasing three whole albums. To honour her hard work and hustle, the Lover, Folklore, and Evermore singer accepted the 2021 BRIT award for global icon in a sparkling Miu Miu co-ordinated set. “I want to thank the BRITs or anyone who thought that I would be worthy of this incredible honour,” Swift said while accepting her BRIT Award. “I’m really really proud to be a part of this musical community. Especially in a year when we all needed music so much.” Swift’s sparkling, custom Miu Miu ensemble featured a spaghetti-strap bralette crop top with clear beaded floral embroidery, a matching high-waist pencil skirt, shoes by Miu Miu, Jessica McCormack earrings, Sophie Bille Brahe rings, and ...
Dua Lipa’s Vivienne Westwood Dress Is a Tribute to London and Being Together Again
Dua Lipa is certainly one of the most stylish stars on the 2021 BRIT Awards red carpet. The Future Nostalgia singer arrived looking like a winner wearing a golden-yellow Vivienne Westwood minidress with head-to-toe accessories by the iconic British punk fashion brand. “I wanted to make it British, quite London, have some fun with it,” Dua told hosts Yasmin Evans and AJ Odudu on the BRIT red carpet live stream. “It’s all about getting people together.” Dua’s outfit featured a golden-yellow Vivienne Westwood bardot minidress with a neon-purple mesh overlay and the brand’s signature three-row pearl bas relief choker necklace (£340), with earrings, bracelets, and rings by the brand, including a Union Jack ring, a pair of deep-plum platform lace-up heel...
BRITs 2021: The Best Dressed Stars Wore Sparkling Outfits and Neon-Green Gowns
The 2021 BRIT Awards are a much-needed fashion indulgence. Unlike film and television award red carpets, music award shows are dedicated to over-the-top celebrity outfits, and with stars like Dua Lipa, Little Mix, and Harry Styles leading the nominations, the looks promise to be sparkling, sensual, and totally unforgettable. Opening the red carpet was a lot of sparkle with hosts Clara Amfo and Maya Jama wearing coordinated outfits inspired by smart, black suits but featuring sexy, sparkling details. Maya wore an Area coordinated set with diamanté crystal embellishments, and Clara wore a Poster Girl silver chainmail minidress inspired by Paris Hilton‘s 21st-birthday outfit. BRITs 2021 Rising Star award winner Griff also tried the sparkling trend in a purple-rainbow-pastel, mermaid-ins...
7 Times Harry Styles Copied Mick Jagger’s Iconic ’70s Outfits
Harry Styles might be a one in a million star, but we can’t help but see similarities between his style and that of Rolling Stones frontman and 1970s icon Mick Jagger. There have been a number of occasions where Styles’s love of statement suits, androgynous outfits, and sensual, on-stage swagger have been compared to Jagger’s — and we found some of the best photos of their matching style moments. We aren’t the only ones who think Harry Styles and Mick Jagger are doppelgängers separated by half a century. Rumours of the One Direction singer being tapped to play the Rolling Stones rocker in a biopic were swirling online for years, until Styles set the record straight by confirming he had “never heard anything about the film”. Even so, it’s pretty cle...
Duchess of Cambridge Rewears a Blouse From Her 2010 Engagement Photo in New YouTube Video
Despite amassing an extensive wardrobe since becoming the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton still reaches for some of her favourite wardrobe items time and time again. In a recent video added to The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge Youtube channel, the Duchess is seen wearing a cream coloured Whistles silk ruffled blouse that she previously wore in her 2010 official engagement photo with Prince William. In support of Catherine’s Hold Still campaign, the Duchess shared a video to The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s new YouTube channel where she checks in with one of the campaign participants — a young child named Mila who has been isolating separately from her parents due to being only 4 months into chemotherapy when lockdown began. In the video, the Duchess rewore her Whistles ...
7 Times Harry Styles Took a Few Notes From Mick Jagger’s Iconic ’70s Style Book
Harry Styles might be a one in a million star, but we can’t help but see similarities between his style and that of Rolling Stones frontman and 1970s icon Mick Jagger. There have been a number of occasions where Styles’s love of statement suits, androgynous outfits, and sensual, on-stage swagger have been compared to Jagger’s — and we found some of the best photos of their matching style moments.

The Oscars Red Carpet Declared the Crop Top the Quintessential Summer Fashion Item
We can’t be the only ones who have been itching for glamorous award-show fashion moments, and the 2021 Oscars delivered all that and more. Some of the most spectacular dresses from the Oscars red carpet shared a very summer-appropriate design detail — an exposed midriff, otherwise adorned by a showstopping, floor-length gown. Who would have expected that elevated crop tops and exposed midriffs would be the defining look of the 2021 Oscars red carpet? We certainly didn’t, but we love to see it. Crop tops and exposed midriffs are all about a carefree, body-positive summer, which is exactly what we need after such a long year indoors. For some, belly-baring tops are a bit intimidating or they can seem a bit too casual, but the stars of the 2021 Oscars red carpet offered examples f...
Dua Lipa Wore Thousands of Pounds of Diamonds to Perform at Elton John’s Oscars Preparty
Diamonds were the standout star on both of Dua Lipa’s performance gowns at the Oscars preparty benefit hosted by the Elton John AIDS Foundation. The Future Nostalgia singer started her string of solo performances in a black gown and later changed into a sparkling outfit to perform duets of “Bennie and the Jets” and “Love Again” with Elton John. Dua Lipa is no stranger to a very sexy red carpet moment, particularly if it’s sparkling. Her sparkling butterfly Grammys dresses are already some of the defining red carpet outfits of 2021. But while Lipa usually goes for ’90s-inspired dresses or sexy, sheer looks, her Oscars preparty gowns were expectedly formfitting but impressively elegant. Dua Lipa’s first look was a black velvet high-neck and lon...
Priyanka Chopra’s Elegant Butterfly Gown at the BAFTAs Is Entirely Made From Recycled Materials
While most stars chose one immaculate outfit for the 2021 BAFTA Film Awards, Priyanka Chopra Jonas chose two. The first included a red floral jacquard jacket, and the second featured a stunning black butterfly Ronald van der Kemp set made from entirely recycled materials. Chopra Jonas’s BAFTAs 2021 wardrobe was handpicked by leading Hollywood stylist Law Roach. The first look was a red floral jacquard, open-bust jacket and white harem trousers, with a contrasting black waistband from Spanish designer Pertegaz’s autumn/winter 2021 collection. She paired the look with black Louboutin pointed-toe heels, black Wolford tights, and a Bulgari high jewellery, turquoise tassel necklace, with the brand’s Divas’ Dream rose gold earrings, and two Serpenti Viper rings. Her secon...
BAFTA Film Awards 2021: The Best Dressed Celebrities of the Night
The 2021 BAFTA Film Awards red carpet looked a little different this year, with our favourite celebrities’ fashion choices coming from the red carpet and at-home, virtual photo shoots. Hosted by Edith Bowman and Dermot O’Leary, the presenters and nominees throughout the evening had us buzzing to get dressed up again by giving glimpses of sartorial selections that ranged from shimmering dresses to smart suits. Opening the red carpet was a lot of Louis Vuitton. Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Phoebe Dynevor, and Cynthia Erivo all wore stunning designs by the brand’s creative director Nicolas Ghesquière. We also noticed a few standout trends like metallic and sparkling, silver and gold dresses worn by Mbatha-Raw and Erivo; fringed details on Clara Amfo’s black suit, Sophie Cookson...
David and Victoria Beckham’s Matching Outfits From the Early 2000s Deserve a Comeback
David and Victoria Beckham pioneered ’90s couple style in a way we hadn’t really seen before. Posh and Becks were fashion icons in their own rights, but once they started dating in 1997 — and debuted coordinated couple outfits — our love for them went to a whole new level. In the late ’90s and early 2000s, Posh and Becks were shaping their individual styles while creating a shared couple aesthetic. Victoria would often wear some defining fashion pieces of the decade — chain mail, halter tops, chain belts, trucker hats, gradient sunglasses, and her own collection of animal-print details. David’s style would revolve around looking like he was straight out of a ’90s R&B music video, with some sporty tracksuits, varsity shirts, and an occasional silk hair scar...
