Jennifer Lawrence’s Jeans-and-Flats Look Is Perfect For a Low-Key Summer Day
New York City in the summer is always hot, but this year’s temperatures are especially toasty. But while I’ve been refusing to wear anything but scarves as tube tops and cutoff denim shorts for the last two weeks (that is, when I actually leave my AC-controlled apartment), Jennifer Lawrence appears wholly unperturbed by the recent 90ºF forecasts. And her latest look is her coolest (in more ways than one) yet. Spotted sipping an iced coffee and shopping in the West Village, the Silver Linings Playbook actress chose to beat the heat in our new favourite outfit recipe for a warm day: Baggy, wide-leg jeans and a crop top. Making the look even more weather-ready, she added a pair of flat sandals from Pierre Hardy, an XL Hydro Flask, and ...

4 M&S Essentials We’ll Be Wearing to Work From Now On
So long, summer. It was nice knowing you. Well, perhaps this goodbye is a little hasty, but after a bumpy start and an unforgettable heatwave, we now find ourselves in the transitional in-between—a confusing state of greying skies but muggy weather. Until we’re firmly in the throes of winter dressing, it’s time to get clever with what we’re wearing for the pre-fall season. As back-to-school looms, we’re also back to the office (at least, those of us who managed to get a holiday), and while we’re packing away our swimwear for another year, we’re also restocking our wardrobes in anticipation of a cosy autumn. But whenever we shop, it’s important to think smart about what will serve our wardrobes best, and investing in versatile pieces is always a goo...
I Always Wear a Dress for Date Night—Here Are 21 to Take as a Plus One
When it comes to date-night dressing, there are so many factors to consider. One, where are you going? and two, who are you going with? If it’s a first date, it might change things. But as someone in a relationship of five years, I tend not to focus too much on impressing (sorry, other half) and more on giving some of my favourite outfits a well-deserved night out. And when it comes to digging a look out from the back of my wardrobe or even opting to buy something new if it’s a special occasion, there’s one item I always rely on: a dress. It cannot, I repeat, cannot fail. When it comes to choosing said dress, anything goes, but of course, I’ve gone on a hunt to decipher the ones actually worth buying. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are l...
Every Top I Want Right Now Has This Flattering Neckline
The sweetheart neckline has never looked cooler. For a time, sweetheart necklines were mostly reserved for bridesmaid dresses, but a resurgence came when much-loved brand Khaite designed a sweetheart neckline top that almost all the fashion crowd had, or wanted. Whether featured on minimalist staples or patterned tops, the beauty of the neckline is that it’s incredibly flattering and has an elegant feel in its classic design. Alongside the traditional curved sweetheart neckline is the inverse sweetheart neckline. Instead of dipping at the cleavage, the inverse style curves upwards in the centre. Whichever style you choose, tops with the neckline have an expensive-looking feel whatever the price point. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking ...

7 Simple Preppy Outfits That Feel So Current
Growing up, I think I was the only one of my friends who actually liked wearing their school uniform. I didn’t attend a prestigious school, so the dress code was somewhat lackadaisical. Still, as my peers opted to loosen their ties or forgo their emblem-embroidered sweatshirts, I turned up on the daily wearing a shirt, tie, and blazer out of choice. What can I say? I was into the preppy aesthetic, and you know what? I still am. Preppy outfits were one of the reigning trends on the 2022 runways, with pleated miniskirts, cricket knits, and wool blazers worn together to full effect. Also on the preppy spectrum were ensembles with sporty undertones; baseball caps worn with tailoring, hoodies layered over dresses, and sports socks paired with loafers. Raf Simons and Miu Mi...
Sir Lewis Hamilton and Zendaya Get the Barbiecore Treatment in New Valentino Campaign
If you’re starting to think about your autumn wardrobe, there is one piece of advice that will serve you well: think pink. Fashion house Valentino put striking fuchsia on everyone’s radar when it took the single colourway to the runway for the autumn/winter ’22 show at Paris Fashion Week in March, and the brand has tapped actor Zendaya and Formula One champion Sir Lewis Hamilton to front the latest Pink PP campaign. Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli radically stripped back the Valentino aesthetic to a single hue in a bid to make the colour an identity in itself. “You cannot own a color, but you can own a feeling,” states the brands press release. And Zendaya, who has been working with Maison Valentino since 2020, has the attitude to match. Shot by Michael B...
Hair Colourists Are Sure These Autumn Hair Colours Will Take Over
Celebrity hair colourist Justin Anderson (who tends to the hair colour of Jennifer Anniston and Margot Robbie) summed it up best when I asked him about his hair colour predictions for this autumn. “I think that hair colour should always suit you; it should suit your lifestyle and it should suit your skin tone,” he said. “Think: when you see someone walk out of a workout and their hair is just a beautiful, natural colour that suits them, even if they’re not wearing any makeup—that’s good hair colour. It just works with every part of your lifestyle.” And other hair colourists feel the same way. “Recently, I’ve noticed hair trends have shifted to more subtle seasonal themes, and now more than ever, clients are looking to make ...
The Chicest French Woman I Know Just Schooled Me on Makeup, And I’m Enlightened
As a journalist, I have put a lot of effort into trying to get some time in with the French makeup artist-turned-brand-founder, wanting to pick her brains on anything and everything makeup. Having followed her for years on Instagram, barely a working day has gone by that hasn’t involved me fawning over her low-key, but impossibly chic, makeup looks. However, being one of the most in-demand people in beauty, pencilling any sort of time in with her appeared so difficult that I had almost given up. But when news broke in the beauty world that Violette had been appointed Creative Director of Makeup at Guerlain (a French beauty powerhouse, no less), not only was I excited for what this meant for one of my all-time favourite beauty brands, I also kne...
From A-Listers to Countless Fashion People, Copper Hair Is Still Trending
When I sniff out a sprinkling of a new hair trend, I am all over it, keenly looking to see if it’ll take off imminently. And that’s exactly what happened when I noticed more people dyeing their hair copper at the tail end of the A/W season 2021. Doja Cat and Barbie Ferreira marked the new year with their fiery hues and the trend was cemented with Kendall Jenner’s hair colour switch ahead of the A/W season, certifying it as one of the hottest colours of the year. Seeing it on the catwalks of Paris and Milan for the A/W 22/23 season was the cream on top of the cake. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Sienna Miller Just Wore the Dress Trend That’ll Dominate the Next 6 Months
For the occasion, Sienna chose a knitted midi dress with an on-trend sweetheart neckline and bell sleeves from Self-Portrait, the brand editors and influencers wear regularly. Of course, the knitted dress trend always comes into its own in autumn when we look to trade in our lightweight linens and other fabrications for something a little heavier. But, true to form, Sienna remains one step ahead of the curve in her blue midi. Pairing it with white sandals and a bag to match, I could also see this dress working with minimal slider sandals, should you want to give it a relaxed spin. As part of the brand’s new collection, you’ll be pleased to hear that Sienna Miller’s Self-Portrait knit dress remains in stock. Scroll down to see it and the black iteration too. Then continue on to shop o...
