Rowan Blanchard’s Sexy, Sheer Mint-Green Dress Is £89 and Designed by Two Friends in London
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...
Cosy, Effortless Jumper Dresses Are Officially Our Favourite Part of Autumn
A jumper dress might just be your new favourite autumn-winter outfit for staying snug indoors, and making a quick trip outside when necessary. I’m a huge fan of knitted dresses, and I’ve been singing their praises for years — so I’m more than pleased that this trend is finally catching on, and the selection available online is divine. But before you search the web looking for the perfect jumper dress, I’ve found a few pieces that you need to see first. Personally, I’m a huge fan of wearing a knit midi dress with mid-heel, calf-high boots. I love that this outfit combination makes me feel put together with minimal effort and it transitions between events so well. In the years BC (before coronavirus), I would wear fitted jumper dresses to work on days that I had...
Clueless Costume Designer Mona May Reflects on the 25th Anniversary of the Classic ’90s Fashion Film
Clueless was way ahead of its time. The quintessential ’90s fashion film based on Emma by Jane Austen — which is now available to stream in the UK via NOW TV — is a cinema classic thanks to writer and director Amy Heckerling and costume designer Mona May. Unlike generic films about fashion or high school, Clueless doesn’t glorify mean girl behaviour, which is a reason it continues to be fun, fresh, and relevant since its 1995 debut. The film gives a rare look into the fictional friendship of two of the most popular girls in high school, who are expectedly rich, stylish, and desirable. And despite Cher and Dionne’s familiarity with being the envy of others, their solid friendship and genuine love for fashion makes Clueless an enduring teen hit. On the film’s 25th ann...

Miley Cyrus’s Blooming Flower Dress Is by Our Favourite New London Designer Miss Sohee
Miley Cyrus performed her latest power ballad “Midnight Sky” for The Graham Norton Show on Saturday, 10 Oct. The single is the lead track for her upcoming seventh album She Is Miley Cyrus, and although we love the message of finding yourself in the freedom of owning your mistakes, we were absolutely fixated on the iridescent dress worn by her cardboard cutout and designed by one of 2020’s most inspiring young creatives — Miss Sohee.

25 Fresh Ways to Style Your Puff-Sleeve Dresses, Tops, Jackets, and Coats
Whether you call them puff sleeves, balloon sleeves, bishop sleeves, or leg of mutton sleeves — yeah, that’s actually a thing — a voluminous statement sleeve is the most enduring fashion trend of 2020. Girlish and gentle puff sleeves make us feel safe, sweet, and playful, which is probably why we reach for them all year round. But where did they come from, and how do you style them? More on that ahead. Puff sleeves are a general name for the many variations of voluminous sleeve shapes that have become a fashion favourite since 2018.

Netflix’s New ’90s Fashion Documentary Is Required Viewing for Every True Fashion-Lover
Image: Getty Before watching The Remix: Hip Hop x Fashion, I didn’t realise the extent to which Black culture shapes the fashion industry. I knew about logomania and Lil’ Kim’s purple pasty outfit from the VMAs in 1999 — but I didn’t understand how stylists Misa Hylton and Dapper Dan created a ’90s subculture now used by the likes of Kylie Jenner, Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B, and countless luxury brands to represent what is hot, young, and cool.

The Untold Fashion Story of Lil’ Kim’s Purple Pastie Jumpsuit From the 1999 MTV VMAs
When Lil’ Kim walked onto the MTV Music Video Awards red carpet in 1999, she had no idea that her iconic purple jumpsuit would cause even Diana Ross to absolutely lose it. When the two divas announced the VMA for best hip-hop video alongside Mary J. Blige, Ross just couldn’t resist jiggling Kim’s exposed breast that was covered by a single lilac seashell-shaped pastie over her nipple. If you’ve ever wondered what went into creating one of the most era-defining fashion moments of the ’90s, we spoke with Lil’ Kim’s stylist, Misa Hylton, who shared all the details ahead. “I had no idea that Diana Ross was going to fondle her. That was a nerve-wracking moment,” said Hylton to POPSUGAR. Neither did Kim, who opened up about the incident in a ...
