As An Oily Girl I Have To Wear Matte Foundations– These Are My Favourites
I think foundation finish is one of the biggest points of difference that I have with my fellow beauty editors. It’s common amongst my peers to prefer a dewy, radiant finish for their base, if they even choose to wear one at all. It suits them, it just doesn’t tend to work for me thanks to my highly oily T-zone. No matter what my skincare routine is, or the time of year, or if I’m having an eczema flare-up, within a few hours of doing my makeup, I will always need to powder. So knowing this, a dewy foundation has never made sense for me as it increases the oily look that I’m blessed with. That’s why I prefer matte texture foundations.

Rapper Leikeli47 Photographed By Hedi Slimane For Celine
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Michael Kovac / Getty Hedi Slimane must be a Hip-Hop head, with good taste. The renowned fashion designer has photographed Brooklyn rapper Leikeli47 for a series of portraits for Celine. If you’re unfamiliar, Leikeli47, born Hasben Jones, is known for covering her face up with a mask when she performs, but moreso for the sharp bars. She recently dropped a new single called “Chitty Bang,” which was featured on EA Sports’ Madden 22 and an Apple iPhone commercial while her last proper album was 2018’s Acrylic. So props to Hedi Slimane aka the Creative Director of luxury fashion brand Celine, for featuring Leikeli in his latest set of portraits, outfitted in some mean Celine fits, too. Leikeli is seen rocking a Celine bandana scarf, naturally, as well as a tr...
“Next in Fashion” to Return For Season 2, and Gigi Hadid Is Tan France’s New Cohost
Image Source: Getty “Next in Fashion” is returning to Netflix for season two of the streaming platform’s international fashion competition. The second series will see Gigi Hadid replace Alexa Chung as the show’s cohost alongside Tan France. Following the show’s cancellation after season one, “Next in Fashion” fans are excited (and surprised) to see the return of “Queer Eye” star France and some of the world’s best emerging fashion designers. While we loved the chemistry between Chung and France, we are buzzing to see Hadid on our screens, adding an American take to France’s British perspective on style. “Who would have thought when we met over Facetime 4 years ago (thanks @evachen212) that we’d be hosting ‘...
According to J.Lo, This Is the Most Stylish Way to Wear Joggers This Year
Although Jennifer Lopez is often dressed to the nines (she does have plenty of occasions to dress up for, after all), she’s also no stranger to a good loungewear look. Whether she opts for leggings, track pants, a matching set, or sweatpants, Lopez always looks completely put-together and stylish. This time, it was a joggers look that she mastered. There’s nothing new about people wearing sweatpants outside the house, especially over the past couple of years. We thought we’d covered every possible jogger outfit trend imaginable, but J.Lo just found another one, and it’s particularly fresh for 2022. The reason? She paired an oversize bomber jacket—from & Other Stories, no less—with her grey baggy sweats and Nike Air Jordans. You prob...
I’m Fussy About Workout Clothes, But These 13 Legging-and-Top Sets Are Great
Whether you fancy yourself as a bit of a sporty spice, work from home or are a new mum and (like me) love the support you get from a pair of high-waisted leggings, activewear has been taking up a large chunk of space in our wardrobes for some time now, even long before Covid-related lockdowns began. This has meant an increase in the number of brands designing activewear and a wider variety of styles. Long gone are the days of purely functional workout clothes with unflattering seams and eye-watering prints. The rise of stylish athleisure brands means replacing our favourite jeans with a pair of leggings has become the norm. There has also been a huge rise in eco-friendly brands investing in innovative manufacturing processes and fabrics as we all grow more aware of what we wear a...
11 Date-Night Outfits Worth Getting Off the Sofa For
When you’ve been in a relationship for as long as I have (we’re talking 15 years), it’s not unusual for date nights to lose their sparkle, though, when I speak to my single friends about their upcoming dates, often, they too are less than enthused about prepping for them. Gone are the days, however, when “sexy” was the dress code to adhere to for date nights—whether it’s your first or fiftieth, it’s important that you stay true to yourself and wear an outfit that reflects who you are and your individual style. Still, no matter how self-assured you are, there’s always the conundrum about how fancy your outfit should be: Are jeans too casual? Will heels make me look overdressed? To help cover all of your date-night outfit needs, I’ve scoured the internet to find 11 impressive looks that...
I’m A Stylist— and I Think These Are the Designer Bags Worth Buying
Buying a designer bag is a big decision. In most cases it comes with a pretty hefty price-tag and so, more than anything, you want to make sure it’s a purchase you don’t regret. That’s why it’s always worth doing as much research as possible beforehand. There’s so many styles out there now and it can be hard, especially with the nature of It bags coming and going, to know which ones are truly worth your money. Well, that’s where I come in. Just think of me as your fairy bag-mother— here to advise you on the most classic, timeless designer bags that will go with everything, and continue to elevate all your outfits for years to come. I’ve been a stylist for almost a decade and so I’ve seen a lot of bags come and go. The 25 styles I’ve listed below, though, have stayed the cou...
8 Denim Brands Fashion Editors and Influencers Swear By
While we might scour multiple stores in search of the perfect winter coat or pledge our allegiance to a number of different It-bag brands, when it comes to jeans, we tend to couple up for life. Despite the fact that no one likes shopping for them (how do they manage to spark insecurity like no other item of clothing?), it’s worth the hunt, as once you’ve found The One, there’s no turning back. The holy grail of good jeans lies somewhere in the middle of a Venn diagram covering fit, silhouette, comfort and, inevitably, cost. Recognising the needs of the masses by creating fashion-forward fits (especially for jeans) in technical, figure-flattering fabrics has only been achieved by a handful of brands. It’s rare to tick all the boxes, however, when it comes to the...
H&M’s New £20 Jumper Is Almost Identical to Princess Diana’s and Kate’s Versions
While browsing through H&M’s new arrivals for a story—yes, it’s is part of my job—I saw a sporty sweater that looked incredibly familiar. Then it hit me: none other than Kate Middleton has worn a similar version before. And upon further digging, I found a photo of the late Princess Diana in the very same trend, too. Is that kismet or what? Varsity jumpers are certainly nothing new, but H&M has a knack for translating trends into extremely affordable pieces that are widely accessible. So when I come across a royalty-approved trend at a £20 price point, I knew I had to share. Scroll down to see how Kate and Diana styled the preppy sweater trend and shop it for yourself.

If I Could Trade Wardrobes With Anyone Right Now, It Would Be Blackpink’s Lisa
Lalisa Manoban, aka Lisa, just so happens to be one-fourth of the world’s biggest girl group, K-pop powerhouse Blackpink. Not only that, but she’s the most-popular K-pop star on Instagram with a cool 72.7 million followers. In 2021, she released her debut single, the self-titled Lalisa, which further catapulted her into the spotlight. And somehow, in the midst of a career that just won’t quit, Lisa has also found time to take on one of the most coveted positions in fashion—her gig as a global style ambassador for Celine. This, in itself, is a big deal. Unlike other fashion houses, Celine hadn’t previously appointed official ambassadors to carry its sartorial messaging, but with Lisa, it feels like an intrinsic partnership. At the time of her appointment in September 2020, Lisa said, “...
13 Beautiful Dress Brands Making Me So Excited for Spring
As I type this, I’m wearing two pairs of socks on my feet, which are tucked into a pair of sheepskin slippers—and I’m still cold. So, you’ll forgive me for indulging in a spot of springtime daydreaming, escaping just for a second into thoughts of brighter days and warmer temperatures and, inevitably, the fashion that comes with them. And, when it comes to spring clothes, nothing feels more seasonally appropriate than a pretty dress. Admittedly I’m a dress girl, but I can’t be the only one who gets endorphins just thinking about slipping into one (without the need for thermal tights underneath). While I have quite the collection of them hanging in my wardrobe, which I can’t wait to get the wear out of, I can’t help but let my eye wander to the stunn...
