Jennifer Lawrence Adorns Her Baby Bump in an Ethereal Caped Gown by Dior
Jennifer Lawrence attended the world premiere for the anticipated disaster comedy movie Don’t Look Up at New York City’s Jazz at Lincoln Center On Sunday, 5 Dec. While her A-list costars (Leonardo DiCaprio, Ariana Grande, Kid Cudi, Jonah Hill, and Timothée Chalamet) definitely demanded attention, it was Lawrence’s light gold Dior gown that was the most memorable look of the evening. Lawrence wore a sparkling champagne-coloured gown designed by creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri. It featured embroidered silk with pleated cape sleeves and was selected from the brand’s spring/summer 2022 collection. The Dior gown was made even more stunning by Lawrence’s baby bump, which elevated the look with a goddess-like energy. Lawrence completed her ethereal outfit with ...
It’s The Year of the Clutch—These Are the Best Ones You Can Buy
As an inspiring fashion writer in my teens, I remember thinking of women holding clutch bags as the pinnacle of chicness. Tucked under one’s arm, maybe with a coat hanging off one’s shoulders, probably holding a glass of prosecco. To me, there was nothing cooler. I pictured myself embodying the likes of Carrie Bradshaw when I would tuck one under my arm for a school party. Now, here I am a decade later and they’ve come back, and I’m going to make the most of it. It’s not just The Pouch (with its investment-level price point) that we’re loving when it comes to clutch bags, either. There are so many to love—from quilted versions through to second-hand treasures. Keep scrolling to discover how the fashion set have been styling their clutch ba...
Trust Us, You’re Going to Want to Show Your Salon These 18 Winter Nail Designs
Nothing gets us excited for party season quite like scrolling Instagram and saving all of the prettiest nail inspiration down. In fact, by the time our first nail appointment of the season come around, we find it hard to choose just one to go for. And while one or two nail appointments would usually suffice to see us through Christmas party season, this year, we’re tempted to go all out. You see, after being denied the opportunity of popping down to see our favourite nail technicians for our pre-winter manicures last year, this December we’re vowing to make up for lost time. We are sticking to our guns and reminding ourselves that we should never, ever take nail appointments for granted. So, this winter, we’re treating our nails to the very best polishes and nail ...
I’m Already All Over Spring/Summer 2022’s Chicest Looks—This Is What I’m Wearing
Photo: Courtesy of Y/Project; Courtesy of Marques’Almeida; Courtesy of Jil Sander Is it too early to be thinking about spring? Not if I have anything to do with it. It’s true that the worst of winter has yet to rear its head (blizzards and holiday parties included), but the thought of vivid, saturated colors and breezy fabrics is all that’s occupying my mind right now. Much of that has to do with the brilliant looks showcased during the spring/summer 2022 shows. From Miu Miu’s “early aughts meets prep school” collection to Jil Sander’s minimalist show, there were several standout moments that have lived in my head rent-free since their debuts in October. They’ve also inspired a shopping l...
I Give This High Street Coat 24 Hours Before It Sells Out
Niche though it may sound, but Monki’s ‘squiggle’ print (technical term there) has been a real success story for the brand over the last 12 months. Firstly there was the squiggle print trousers, which both myself and Editor in Chief Hannah snapped-up—they promptly sold out and continued to do so through multiple restocks. Thus followed everything from squiggle print dresses to bikinis and, like the original style, none of them remained on shelves for long. Well, we are happy to announce that Monki has just dropped what we consider to be the best iteration of the squiggle print to date and, of course, it comes in coat form.

We Can’t Get Over All the Glamorous Celebrity Fashion at the British Independent Film Awards
The 2021 British Independent Film Awards were held at Old Billingsgate in London on 5 Dec. to honour 2021’s most innovative and creative independent filmmaking and filmmakers in the UK. And whilst the focus of the evening was on the incredible films and talented actors, directors, and screenplay writers, the nominees and guests used the opportunity to show off some incredible style. The BIFA red carpet was full of luxurious, sumptuous fabrics that felt spot on for the festive season, like the midnight blue velvet suit worn by Ruth Wilson and the sapphire-coloured velvet gown worn by Alice Eve. There were plenty of glamorous metallic dresses, like Gugu Mbatha_Raw’s shimmering beige dress and Alesha Dixon’s black-and-gold number, whilst Kate Beckinsale and Lauryn Ajufo step...
The Print Trends We’re Going to See Everywhere This Winter
Photo: Jil Sander; Christopher John Rogers; Vaquera No shade to our beloved neutrals, but prints are all we can think about lately. Sometimes, you simply want to blend in and keep it subtle, but it’s okay to be the centre of attention once in a while. The preferred way among insiders to stand out right now? Grabbing one of the striking prints that have been flittering through the fashion spheres this season. Much to our surprise, this season’s runways didn’t include the typical lineup of prints we’re used to seeing. Instead, it was a grab bag of patterns and graphics, from the extreme—see fanciful logos and zebra—to more subdued takes. All in all, everything felt amped up in a way that is fresh and exciting to the eyes. There&...
19 Hairstyles That Prove Gen Z Are Right About the Excellence of the Middle Part
As a millennial beauty editor, I am often left a little confused (and sometimes infuriated) by some of the things I see on TikTok. Typically, messages that promote using lube as primer or using a banana to apply winged liner aren’t the sorts of things that fill beauty editors with confidence. However, when Gen Z took to TikTok earlier this year to brand side partings as “cheugy,” I wasn’t totally aghast. Personally, I think that flipping your hair over to the side is one of the simplest and most effective ways to elevate and volumise any look. However, I do have to agree that the middle part is a superior way to style your hair. As someone who spent most of her adolescent life straightening her side-parted fringe and spraying can after can of Batist...
5 Affordable Outfits Made of Classic Pieces We Already Own
Readers of Who What Wear will be familiar with our We Try Before You Buy franchise, where the team tries on new items to help you decide what is really worth investing in. This involves trying samples and borrowing things from brands for the day, however this story is a little different this time. Instead of trying anything new or borrowed, we are all wearing pieces we actually own and many are items that we’ve loved for years and years. The word ‘affordable’ is often overused by fashion editors, but is a tricky and complicated term as what is considered affordable can vary hugely. This is something we are all too aware of. Below our editors have shared the one outfit that has proved to be amazing value for them, whether that’s because it’s comprised of charity shop finds, it’s an item tha...
Ariana Grande Went Pantless in the Most Popular Heels of 2021
Ariana Grande’s shocking ability to mimic music’s greatest talents—including Céline Dion and Whitney Houston—isn’t the only thing that the “Positions” singer has impressed us with lately. Her outfits, too, have been particularly awe-inspiring since she signed on to be a judge for The Voice a few months back. Grande’s latest getup for the NBC series, though, might just be her best yet—and that’s saying something after she wore the OG Versace minidress from 13 Going on 30 back in November. On Wednesday, Grande posted a slideshow on Instagram that displayed her look from Tuesday night’s episode. For the reveal of this season’s semifinalists, the newest coach on the show (wit...
