Victoria Beckham and Harper Wearing Matching “Posh and Baby Posh” Slip Dresses Is Too Cute
Links”>Victoria Beckham‘s youngest child and only daughter, Harper Beckham, is turning into a little mini me of her stylish mum. The former Spice Girl shared a photo of herself and her sweet daughter having a fashion twinning moment in matching mini slip dresses — so cute! VB’s most recent photo with Harper shows the pair taking a mirror selfie, or “usie”, in what appears to be Victoria’s closet. Both mum and daughter are wearing spaghetti strap mini dresses, with VB in black, Harper in white, and the caption reading “kisses from posh and baby posh ✌🏼💕💕”. If you’re familiar with Victoria’s style evolution in The Spice Girls, then you might know that Posh Spice is known for her little black Gucci d...
Dua Lipa’s 25th Birthday Outfit Is Designed by British-Indian Female-Owned Brand Supriya Lele
Dua Lipa celebrated her 25th birthday this past weekend on Saturday, 22 Aug. with friends and family, while dressed in a vibrant orange co-ordinated set designed by British-Indian-owned fashion brand Supriya Lele. This is a big week for Dua — reaching the milestone of 25 while preparing the release of her remix album Club Future Nostalgia on Friday, 28 Aug. Of the endless designers that the “Don’t Start Now” signer has access to, she chose to wear one of our favourite female-owned fashion brands Supriya Lele. Founded by a millennial BIPOC designer of the same name, Lele is of Indian descent and was slated as one of our ones to watch in Spring/Summer 2019. Dua Lipa wore Supriya Lele’s signature orange madras check co-ordinated set from the brand’s Spring/Summer...
Victoria Beckham Shows Us that Shorts Can Look Incredibly Smart at Any Age
The UK’s second royal family — the Beckhams — took a much needed summer holiday to Greece (which is still open to UK tourists). David and Victoria Beckham spent some quality time with their parents enjoying the Mediterranean views and modelling their own takes on resortwear — which, of course, meant a surprisingly smart outfit from VB in a crisp pair of white shorts. We love that no matter where Victoria goes, she combines the occasion with her own personal style and creates a look that’s uniquely on brand. The designer, mum, and Spice Girl complemented the Greek skyline of light blue, crisp white, and earthy brown with a preppy Oxford long-sleeved, very short shorts, and a thick square-buckle belt. If you’re anything like us, then wearing short shorts can be quite intimi...
5 Handbag Styles That Defined 2020 and Are Worth Investing in This Autumn
This year is teaching fashion to slow down, and it’s about time. Where every season we look forward to pretty new bags and accessories, we are starting to shift our focus to lasting pieces that transcend the seasonal turnover of trends. As the autumn and winter months approach, we’re taking a closer look at the handbag silhouettes that defined this year in style — and if you’re planning a purchase, then these are the pieces worth the investment. Handbags, like shoe trends, usually begin from the bottom up. A pioneering independent designer creates a piece that speaks to the zeitgeist — like By Far’s ’90s-inspired Rachel baguette shoulder bag — and because of fashion’s loose copyright laws, that sell-out design inspires high-fashion houses and is then dup...

The Untold Fashion Story of Elizabeth Hurley’s Versace Safety Pin Dress
It was the year 1994 when of-the-moment English heartthrob Hugh Grant would be upstaged at his own film premiere for Four Weddings and a Funeral – not by his sultry date, Elizabeth Hurley, but by the black Versace safety pin dress that would make her an overnight star. While many of us might be familiar with one of Versace’s most iconic creations, you’d be delighted to discover the lesser-known details that made that dress one of the most iconic pop culture moments of the ’90s. Elizabeth “Liz” Hurley was an unknown actor when she arrived on the film’s red carpet with up-and-coming actor and then-boyfriend Hugh Grant. Instead of being just another pretty face at a premiere, her black Versace dress held together by gold safety pins became the talking...

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge Wears a New Sustainable Brand for Her Summer Fashion Debut
With the easing of lockdown restrictions in the UK, comes Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge’s first summer fashion moment — a lilac floral tea dress that’s perfect for a sunny day of gardening. The Duchess visited The Nook Hospice in Norwich on Thursday, 25 June to help with planting a garden in support of Children’s Hospice Week. For her summer debut, the Duchess wore a lilac Marie-Louise floral mididress designed by sustainable Australian brand Faithfull the Brand.

The empire-waist tea dress features on-trend puff sleeves, a V-neckline, and a demure keyhole opening, in the po...
Move Aside Matrix Shades: Oversize Sunglasses Are Back and Better For Summer 2020
Summer 2019 couldn’t get enough of teeny-tiny, ’90s-inspired shades, but for summer 2020, we’re all about the oversize sunglasses look. I don’t know about you, but I am so glad for the shift in fashion, because unlike Matrix shades, big sunglasses suit every face shape, and they add a touch of ’50s glamour to your casual park looks. The world of fashion trends loves to play with extremes — whether that be fabrics choices (sweet floral organza versus edgy black leather), or favoured palettes (bold neon greens versus muted neutrals). Even when you think about handbag trends, we went from Jacquemus’s viral micro bags to oversize totes that will have you searching for your keys for hours. When it comes to sunglasses, we’re pleased for the change in pac...
10 Ways to Style a Silk Scarf and Instantly Elevate Your Casual Outfits
A silk scarf is your perfect spring and summer accessory. Besides being a favourite on the spring/summer 2020 runways, it’s also one of fashion’s most sustainable styling trends. You can make a scarf out of any fabric you have lying around and use it in countless ways: from saving yourself from a bad hair day to instantly elevating a casual at-home look and even as a makeshift mask for protecting yourself from the coronavirus (COVID-19). On the spring/summer 2020 runways, we’re taking inspiration from the scarfs worn as belts at Tommy Hilfiger, the scarf-print bandeau tops at Bronx & Banco, the massive pussy-bow-tied scarfs at Tory Burch, and the simple french-knot-tied scarfs at Preen by Thornton Bregazzi. We love that a scarf can be styled to look cool, as much as i...
