I’m a Beauty Editor and These Are the Lipstick Colours I’m Wearing for Autumn
As summer comes to what feels like a sharp end, things need not look bleak for the colder seasons. The start of the autumn/winter season signifies change, and one particular change I am ready for is to rework my makeup routine. After a summer of the ‘clean girl’ aesthetic, I think we’re all ready to inject a new lease of life into our beauty routines. I am what you call basic when it comes to my makeup. I have my go-to base routine, my uber-simple eyeshadow and never-changing brow routine, all of which have served me well. That has also left room for experimentation in one area, lips. Lip colour is one part of my routine, I am constantly changing up, it’s become a sort of accessory to finish up my makeup look. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for D...
I Just Tried On Totême’s Cult Autumn Buys—Here’s What’s Worth Investing In
My fellow editors and I often contemplate the age-old question, ‘if you had to wear one brand for the rest of your life what would it be?’ My answer is always Totême. The Swedish brand was founded back in 2014, and is known for its signature minimalist aesthetic which focuses on timeless style over any so-called ‘trends’— part of the reason I’m such a fan. Whether it’s a camel coat, or the perfect pair of black tailored trousers, the collections are based around a uniform of forever pieces that you can (and will happily) pull out season after season. In fact, a lot of their key buys are just restocked again each year, that’s how timeless they are. That’s not to say Totême does “boring” wardrobe staples though— unique design details and elevated fabrics turn a lot of the label’s pieces...
Versace’s Latest Bag Collection Has Arrived, and It’s Already Iconic
Even on my worst days, there’s nothing a good outfit can’t fix. Creating a look that oozes confidence empowers me to take on the day in a new way (even if I’m faking it). When I think of the brands that inspire the most confidence, Versace immediately comes to mind. This season, its offerings range from the signature Medusa corset to those already iconic platform heels, but the newest line of bags and accessories is really where it’s at. The Greca Goddess collection beautifully combines Versace’s sleek leather with its classic hardware—you know, that iconic gold insignia you’d recognize anywhere? In the words of Donatella herself, “When I touch the strong, cold metal of the Greca, it makes me feel my strength and confidence.” She’s...
Margot Robbie Radiates Wedding Energy in Strapless White Chanel
We have been used to seeing her in Barbie-inspired fuchsia pink, but Margot Robbie opted for a change of sartorial pace on 18 Sept as the actor attended the premiere of her latest film, “Amsterdam“, in New York. Wearing a strapless white gown by Chanel, her look would not look out of place at any wedding party. Robbie’s elegant look was straight from the Chanel Resort 2023 collection and features a strapless layered bustier teamed with a tiered lace maxi skirt. Keeping the look fuss-free, she kept her décolletage clear from jewellery and added an ear cuff and rings for accessories. Her fresh makeup was kept natural with peachy blush and lips, while her blonde hair was styled in beachy waves. Robbie hit the carpet alongside costars Andrea Riseborough and Rami Malek to prom...
Ana de Armas Is Prepared For Sequin Season in a Sparkling 3-Piece Suit
It might only just be autumn, but we are already pinning our Pinterest boards with party-season outfit inspo, and it seems Ana de Armas is one step ahead of us. The “Blonde” actor was dressed in top-to-toe sequins for an appearance on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” on 19 Sep, and her outfit is immediately on our wish list. The actor appeared on the show to promote her upcoming film “Blonde”, the first Netflix show to receive an 18 rating, with de Armas playing a fictional version of Marilyn Monroe. She arrived at the talk show wearing an eye-catching navy-grey sequin three-piece suit by Brunello Cucinelli. Styled by Samantha McMillen, the entire ensemble offered a welcome glow up of the tailoring trend, making it the perfect desk-to-dance-floor loo...

The Cult Moisturisers Rosie HW, Victoria Beckham and J.Lo Actually Use
A good cleanser might be the foundation of any successful skincare routine, but finding the right moisturiser can take your skin to the next level. While celebrities might have access to the very best facials and skincare experts in the business, there’s no doubt that most of the A-list have seriously good skin, and a lot of that will be down to the moisturiser they slather on daily. Although there are celebrity exceptions (Emma Stone reportedly loves olive oil, while Pixi Geldof swears by argan oil), a little bit of digging proved that basically all our favourite celebrities were loyal to one moisturiser. Ranging from £13 to £350, there’s a whole mix of price points and skincare solutions here, but keep scrolling for the very best moisturisers that the likes of ...
Getting Married? You’ll Want to Save These 25 Wedding Nail Designs
There are no rules when it comes to your nails, however, Class recommends some shades if you’re looking for a classic bridal manicure. “It’s always best to wear a shade that compliments your dress, skin tone and style,” she says. “Sheer nudes, soft pinks, and creams are always a safe bet. Choose one that works against your skin tone as it will be the most flattering.” However, if you’re looking for something more alternative, you could even opt for nail art or brighter hues. “Having a bespoke manicure for your big day is something special, like wearing a certain scent that will take you back to that day,” says Class. “As we are edging into autumn/winter, I think a pop of colour could be a great look for a winter bride. It could even tie...
Katie Holmes’s £50 Mango Jeans Will Sell Out by Tomorrow, Guaranteed
After getting all dressed up during NYFW for shows such as Khaite and Ulla Johnson, Katie Holmes took a break from wearing head-to-toe designer looks to instead roam around NYC in a jeans-and-tee look that, despite its casual appearance, appeared just as chic as anything she wore to sit front-row. For the late-summer occasion, Holmes specifically chose a baby-pink muscle-style T-shirt, which she tucked into a pair of wide-leg jeans from Mango’s new premium line, Selection. Mid-rise with a semi-cropped length and a slightly washed-out look, the £50 denim is about as close to perfect as a pair of jeans can get, especially when you consider that most jeans these days will set you back at least £100. To further elevate the low-key ensemble, she added her new go-to bur...
I Just Built 5 Expensive-Looking Outfits, and They’re All From ASOS
We fashion editors are often asked about how to curate the perfect wardrobe, and the answer is often the same: versatility. In an ideal world, your wardrobe should include some timeless, premium pieces mixed in amongst more affordable trend-led items (extra points for any vintage and secondhand pieces you can rewear). This mix of brands and price points will help your clothing will reflect your personality, and above all else, dressing in a way that is true to you is what makes fashion fun. That being said, I totally understand the appeal of building a capsule wardrobe from just one store. First of all, it’s an effective use of your time. (No one wants to traipse around the shops or endlessly scroll through every new-in section.) And secondly, pieces from the same store tend to look ...

The Best Boots to Wear With Mini, Midi and Maxi Dresses
I’ve never been a trouser kind of girl—aside from having given into the easy appeal of jeans, that is. Instead, you’ll find my wardrobe is dominated by one thing: dresses. Being curvy and petite, dresses are the item I feel most confident in, and I’ve garnered quite the collection of them over the years. However, when it comes to winter, I always find myself at a loss. During the summer months, I’ll style them with slip-on tan sandals or black minimal mules but, when the temperatures drop, I seem to struggle to find the right footwear to pair with them. Boots are, of course, essential at this time of year, but I’ve always found it difficult to decide which boot iterations look best with mini, midi and maxi dresses respectively. So, I set about rectifying that. Having spent l...
