Dua Lipa Celebrates Her Birthday in Tiny Gucci Bralette, and Her Look Is So ’90s
View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sarah Lysander Svendby Carter (@sarahlysander) Dua Lipa is a woman after our own heart. If she's not heading up the biggest movie of the year (it's "Barbie" fyi, if you've been living under a rock) with a stellar single, and working on a brand new album, she's giving us plenty of fashion envy with her street and red carpet style. And it seems that her fashion streak is continuing for her birthday celebrations, in which the singer welcomed her 28th birthday on 22 August in an enviable 90s look. Posing for some stunning pictures with her friend and fellow model Sarah Lysander, Lipa wore a tiny Gucci mesh bralette. Pairing the statement lingerie with a Y2K-esque mesh bolero, the star added some sparkle with diamanté lilac slack...
Celebrating Thierry Mugler’s Inimitable Legacy
Prolific fashion designer Thierry Mugler died on Jan. 23 at the age of 73. Through the 1980s and 1990s, the French designer helped to shape an era of colourful catwalks with artfully sculpted and larger than life designs. More recently, Thierry Mugler and his eponymous brand experienced a renaissance since stars like Cardi B and Kim Kardashian were often seen wearing his archival creations — and we couldn’t help but indulge in finding Mugler’s most over-the-top ’90s fashion designs. It was 2019 when Mugler charmed Instagram’s influential set of baddies. Cardi B showed up at the 2019 Grammys in a Mugler Couture oyster gown from 1995 that was inspired by the 1480’s painting The Birth of Venus by Botticelli. The following year, the “WAP” singer wore a...
Mariah Carey’s Favourite Y2K Fashion Trend Has Fluttered Back Into Our Wardrobes
Fashion just can’t get enough of the biggest ’90s and Y2K trends, and neither can we. First, slip dresses returned with a vengeance, then strappy sandals became the unofficial shoe of summer, and now butterflies are making a major comeback. This sweet detail has recently been seen on Dua Lipa, Bella Hadid, and Olivia Rodrigo. The Future Nostalgia singer wore a Versace dress featuring a crystal butterfly on the bodice at the 2021 Grammys that took over our timelines. Rodrigo has worn countless butterfly printed outfits while promoting her new album Sour (2021). And both Lipa and Hadid have been seen wearing Blumarine’s Y2K butterfly-themed collection for the 2022 resort season. Instagram’s style set has also given butterfly details the seal of approval, and the cute ...

I Dressed Like Rachel Green From Friends For a Week and Learnt a Few Things About ’90s Style
Costume design is this really interesting area where fashion and entertainment meet. Series like Gossip Girl and The Handmaid’s Tale, and films like Clueless and The Devil Wears Prada, have had a major impact on how we dress. We’d love to credit Blair Waldorf for the recent revival of headbands. And if it weren’t for Miranda Priestly, would we ever know the difference between turquoise and cerulean blue? Fashion’s dynamic relationship with pop culture is undeniable. For the past couple years, we’ve experienced a very nostalgic ’90s style renaissance. Even icons of the era, like Keanu Reeves and Celine Dion, are getting in on the action. So, we decided to try out Rachel Green’s great style from one of the decade’s most defining series, Friends...
Mariah Carey’s Favourite ’90s Fashion Trend Has Fluttered Back Into Our Wardrobes
Fashion just can’t get enough of the biggest trends of the ’90s, and neither can we. First slip dresses returned with a vengeance, then strappy sandals became the unofficial shoe of the summer, and now butterflies are surprisingly making a major comeback. This sweet detail was recently worn by Dua Lipa at the 2021 Grammy Awards. The Future Nostalgia singer wore a Versace dress featuring a crystal butterfly on the bodice that instantly took over our timelines. On the catwalks, butterflies were spotted all over Temperley London and Zimmerman’s spring/summer 2021 collections. But thanks to Instagram’s style set, butterflies have been making an appearance on all things clothes, and accessories, and even beauty. Who could forget those ubiquitous butterfly clips of the &#...
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...
Love Princess Diana’s ’90s Style? Here’s How to Recreate the Royal’s Most Rebellious Outfits
When flipping through the coolest photos of Princess Diana, there’s always one thing that runs through my mind — imagine if a royal were to wear bike shorts today? The scandal! Even more than her inimitable fashion sense was her rebellious spirit, which is why I am more than okay with Diana’s ’90s style shaping our wardrobes once again. Around the time of Diana’s divorce from Prince Charles between 1991 and 1996, the Princess of Wales began wearing very short and slinky dresses to public engagements. When off-duty, she would wear surprisingly casual — and American — pieces like cowboy boots, baseball caps, and bike shorts. The “revenge dress” was perhaps the princess’s most iconic fashion moment, when she turned up to a 1994 Serpentine summer party...
Knit Princess Diana’s Iconic Black Sheep Jumper For Free With the Original Vintage Pattern
I always knew Princess Diana was cool, but seeing photos of her wearing that Warm & Wonderful black sheep jumper in 1979 made me realise just how much of a rebel she really was. Recently, the iconic knit was reissued for a collaboration between Warm & Wonderful and Rowling Blazers (£250). But even better, the original vintage knitting pattern is now available for free online as a charitable campaign to raise lifesaving funds for Doctors Without Borders – we think Diana would have loved that idea. Pennies Per Hour of Pleasure (p/hop) is a knitting fundraiser for nonprofit organisation Doctors Without Borders (MSF). In an effort to raise lifesaving funds for medical care in over 60 countries, p/hop collaborated with Sally Muir and Joanna Osborne (the founders of Warm & Wond...
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...
