The sartorial effect of Bridgerton continues to steadily shape our closets. Corsets have been reimagined for 2021 in relaxed and minimal silhouettes. And thanks to the expert styling of celebrities, editors, and fashion insiders, we have tons of fresh new takes on the structured top that has come in and out of fashion for centuries. Rihanna, Bella Hadid, and Dua Lipa are strong advocates for the return of the corset in 2021. Rihanna was spotted in a Western-inspired snake-print corset while shooting a video with A$AP Rocky in mid-July. Hadid wore a corset to attend the Dior dinner at the Cannes Film Festival and paired it with loose-fit tailored trousers for a more relaxed interpretation. Lipa wore a decadent gold Jean Paul Gaultier corset for her “Demeanor” music video release...
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 ...
A star in bikini? Get it? Never mind . . . Bona-fide fashion victim Lady Gaga‘s new starfish bikini is so cute that we bet The Little Mermaid herself is rushing to the place the next order. The A Star Is Born actor and musician shared a cheeky video to her Instagram page, confidently walking out of a pool in Malibu while showing off her orange star-shaped sustainable bikini. “⭐️⭐️ Little starZ”, Gaga captioned the sultry Instagram video post, where friends, fans, and fellow creatives weren’t short on hyping her up. The cute, orange star-shaped bikini is Lali + Layla’s Stella halter wrap bikini top and the brand’s Hazel bikini bottoms, both in the colour Cherrybomb. Gaga completed the look with a vintage Chanel gold ID plate ch...
It’s safe to say that when it comes to social skills and styling our outfits, we could all use a bit of fine tuning. This spring, we couldn’t be more excited to try bold and colourful new outfits formulas. Getting the chance to slow down this past year means that many of us are able to appreciate the season in a whole new way — and the colours of new blossoms, bright blue skies, and fun and playful prints are inspiring our favourite spring outfits. This season, we expect to see a lot of vivid colour blocking. We’re particularly fond of bright combinations like fuchsia and red, light pink and creamy orange, and lime green and blue. If you’re new to wearing colour, then a head-to-toe tonal outfit is an easy formula that looks polished and full of personality. Fancy ta...
It’s safe to say that everyone needs a great pair of jeans that make you feel like you can take on the world. And with much of our shopping moving online, it’s tricky to choose the perfect pair for your body shape when you can’t try before you buy. Luckily, that’s where social media comes in with endless photos of women from all over the world, showing you exactly how your next favourite pair will fit — and how it could make you feel. For spring 2021, we’re almost exclusively shopping eco-conscious and sustainable denim brands like Closed, Monki, Weekday, Ganni, and Lucy & Yak. We’re also loving statement denim designs, like Agolde’s criss-cross jeans, classic Levi’s cuts, and patchwork pieces. But before you purchase that gorgeous new pa...
In summer 2020, cottagecore enthusiasts stumbled upon a comforting escape from the news cycle — Lirika Matoshi’s Strawberry Dress. The pink tulle midi dress with puff sleeves, ruffle hems, and a glitter strawberry print went viral on TikTok and Instagram, and now you can create your own dream dress with help from Instagram user @crescentshay‘s tutorial. Cosplay fashion designer Shay (@crescentshay) has a lot of experience creating fantasy dresses. On her Instagram, she has shared dozens of behind-the-scenes videos of how she re-creates Disney princess dresses, dresses worn by Effie Triket in The Hunger Games, a replica of Lady Gaga’s fuchsia gown from the 2019 Met Gala, and even a “social distancing” dress with a skirt that measures 12 feet. Shay’s most ...
Priyanka Chopra must have the most incredible collection of saris. The Indian actor celebrated the Hindu festival of Karwa Chauth on Wednesday, 4 Nov. while wearing a stunning, custom-made red sari. She shared a series of photos wearing the beautiful dress, and looking loved up with husband Nick Jonas to her personal Instagram, accompanied by the caption “Happy Karwa Chauth to everyone celebrating.❤️ I love you Nick Jonas.” Chopra’s gorgeous red sari was designed by Mumbai-based fashion brand Jade by Monica and Karishma, and styled by Ami Patel, who completed the look with a stack of delicate gold bangles on the actor’s wrist, statement gold rings, earrings, and a necklace. But the most beautiful addition to Chopra’s look was the love she has for...
Every so often we are lucky enough to find a fashion Instagram account that shows us something completely new and inspiring. When scrolling through the Explore page a few weeks ago, two photos by Japanese designer Daisuke Takamatsu (@dimda_) were so out-of-the-box creative that we had to instantly like and follow. Daisuke takes ordinary household items like cotton face masks and net foam for fruits and turns them into customised luxury accessories like Prada and Dior handbags, while also upcycling vintage designer pieces. Daisuke is a surrealist fashion designer, like Elsa Schiaparelli in the 1920s, who uses the cut-up technique created by Dapper Dan in the 1980s. What Daisuke’s work adds to Dapper Dan’s approach to knockoff culture is a focus on sustainability. The designer...
Rowan Blanchard was the most sultry person on our Instagram feed today, thanks to her sexy, sheer mint-green cutout dress designed by London-based fashion brand Poster Girl. The actor, model, and Disney alum is no stranger to being an Instagram baddie. For her latest thirst trap, Blanchard showed off her mint-green Poster Girl Charlotte Dress from the brand’s Spring/Summer 2021 collection. The dress comes in four colours — bone, lilac, fuchsia, tangerine — which suggests that Blanchard’s mint dress is custom made. Available in sizes XS to L, the Charlotte dress (£89) is shapewear inspired and features a “psychedelic swirl” pattern lace, cutout crystal heart embellished details, and asymmetric lettuce hemline. Charlotte is semisheer on the stomach, hips, and shoulder...
H&M’s timely collection with The Vampire’s Wife officially launches today and it’s already become a firm favourite amongst fans everywhere. The Victorian-inspired range of glittered lace capes and flute-sleeved dresses promises to make even staying at home this Halloween a night to remember. Spotted flaunting the sparkly sleeves on Instagram during a shoot just hours before the collection dropped, Laura Whitmore has become the latest celebrity to feature in the collection. Draped in the Lace Cape, Whitmore’s latest post has us ready to splurge on the entire range. And it’s not just us, comments on Whitmore’s post from Daisy Lowe, Stacey Dooley, and June Sarpong mean we aren’t the only ones with our eye on the prize. The full Vampire’s Wif...
Chiara Ferragni recently announced that she and husband Fedez are expecting their second child! Ferragni shared the news last week with an Instagram photo of the baby’s ultrasound photo and has been celebrating with a series of sweet photos showing off her baby bump — the most recent of which features the influencer in the cutest little yellow tea dress. Ferragni’s first official maternity photos for Instagram shows the social media guru wearing a bright and sunny canary yellow Giambattista Valli midi dress to celebrate her little chick on the way. The dress features an empire-waist design cinched under the bust by a thin bow, a round neckline, and long sleeves in a sheer fabric, with ruffles at the hemline and a white tulle lining under the skirt. Ferragni paired the dress wit...
