We Predict This Will Be the Trending Top of the Summer
Sometimes a trend comes along that’s so simple that anyone can get in on it without feeling like they’re being too ostentatiously “fashion.” Today, that trend is the sleeveless T-shirt. Once reserved for rock stars like Debbie Harry, thanks to brand of the moment The Frankie Shop’s versions, this top is now firmly back on the fashion industry’s radar. The defining details of the current style are that it needs to be sleeveless (of course) but with slightly oversize shoulders and a round neck. Colours are kept simple with white, cream, black and grey being the most acceptable hues. However, stripes and muted pastels are also great options. Further proof that this trend is going to be ubiquitous for the season is that you can find the top from lu...

Laura Whitmore was spotted wearing two wonderful things this week — one being her massive diamond engagement ring and the other being an adorable “Thank You” rainbow charity t-shirt that supports the NHS.

Cate Blanchett’s Style Is Undeniably Elegant, but These 13 Looks Surpassed Our Expectations
Cate Blanchett has always been a minimal style queen. Even in the ’90s, when fellow up-and-coming actors were finding their fashion bearings, Cate had already mastered her personal style. The reason she always looks so elegant on the red carpet is because of a winning combination: her go-to colour palette that complements her skin, hair, and eyes perfectly, a careful balance of classic gowns and casual suited looks, and consistently poised poses — she definitely knows her angles. Cate is a fan of classic black-and-white looks, and we can’t blame her; it’s the most timeless colour combination to grace the red carpets. When she isn’t in a sophisticated monochromatic outfit, she isn’t afraid to experiment with frothy floral gowns and sweet pastel suits. Embellish...

Meghan Markle’s Wedding Dress Designer Shares What It’s Really Like Working With the Duchess
Meghan Markle might have stepped away from royal life, but that hasn’t stopped some media outlets — and public figures — from trying to exploit her image. While rumours run rampant, one thing is for sure, the Duchess of Sussex is “warm and welcoming, completely disarming and joyful in every way,” said Meghan’s wedding dress designer Clare Waight Keller.

You Can Now Buy THAT J-Lo Green Versace Dress
The most talked-about look for the spring summer 2020 season was without a doubt Versace’s cutout gown, which was a reimagining of the dress Jennifer Lopez wore to the Grammys in 2000.

Every Outfit Kate Middleton Has Worn on Her Royal Zoom Calls
Like so many of us, Kate Middleton has been spending a lot of time on video calls lately, though the Duchess of Cambridge hasn’t been participating in virtual pub quizzes or Saturday evening digital drinks (…we assume). No, her royal highness has instead been appearing online as a part of her royal duties, calling in to This Morning with Phillip and Holly, thanking nurses as a part of International Nurse Day and spreading important messages about mental health awareness. As to be expected, each of Middleton’s appearances has garnered the attention of the press, not only because of the worthwhile causes the duchess is supporting but also because of her coveted Zoom outfit choices. Of course, Middleton’s at-home attire does not consist of oversize loun...
22 Very Old Trends I’m Still Wearing Today
I’m a huge fan of ’70s fashion—the era created a host of trends that still stand up today, whether you realise they’re from that time or not. Think of our current obsession with bright over-the-knee boots, folk-inspired printed dresses, velvet and corduroy, boho blouses, midi skirts and so on. While the ’70s sweeps over the runways every couple of seasons, there’s always still a hint of it on the streets if you look closely. Think of the iconic designer names that were indelibly marked into history during this decade, like Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld and Diane von Furstenburg. It was also a period where mass-market, trend-driven fashion was also more readily available. Barbara Hulanicki’s Biba kick-started the idea in London a decade earlier, alon...
