2021’s Best Red Carpet Moments From British Celebrities
British celebrities really came with their best for the return of red carpet fashion in 2021. The reopening of the fashion, film, and music industries encouraged the most stylish of Brits to embrace sparkling gowns, voluminous tulle, corsets, feathers, and sumptuous black velvet. Fancy finding out which Brits had the most memorable red carpet moments? We hand-picked 36 breathtaking looks that will set the standard for 2022 celebrity style. Of the best-dressed British celebs, Cynthia Erivo and Rina Sawayama really elevated our expectations. They both have fun with a statement outfit while also looking polished and glam on the red carpet. Sawayama’s lilac ruffle Balmain gown at the 2021 BRIT Awards was one of the most impactful red carpet fashion moments of the year. As with Erivo, it ...
I’m Shielding This Christmas, But That Won’t Stop Me Repping These 6 Party Looks
Our love of texture was stripped away from us in lockdown—suddenly, it became taboo to just reach out and touch. As virtual living put distance between us, the fashion world responded by offering us a melody of tantalising textures for the new season. Think tactile lace, slinky velvet, flossing, faux fur and sequins. Take inspiration from designers such as Molly Goddard, who filled her runway with swathes of tulle, tartan and taffeta. Likewise, Prada tapped into the theme of “connection” for its A/W 21 show, which manifested on the runway in sequins, faux-fur coats and psychedelic knits. When combining multiple textures in one outfit, stick to the rule of three to avoid looking like you’ve had a fight with the dressing-up box. If you’re a minimalist, opt for one eye-catching...
This Blusher Has Gone Viral This Year, and It’s Worth the Hype
It didn’t take me long to figure out why this blush has become such a success. On my first swipe, I was mesmerised at how noticeable and velvety the blush looked on my cheeks. I was initially quite apprehensive towards the bright-pink shade, as I wasn’t sure whether it would go with my complexion. But to my delight, it gave me the perfect flush of colour. It’s a really buildable blush that complements all makeup looks, whether you’re going for something subtle or something to make you stand out. I also found that it blended really well when worn underneath and over the top of some of my other favourite blushes and highlighters. Overall, I was really impressed with just how well suited my complexion was to this blush, despite initial reservations. TikT...
M&S Does the Very Best Jumpers, and These 14 Prove It
It might be absolutely freezing, but the up side to plummeting temperatures is we get to wrap ourselves up in fabulous knitwear until the weather changes. Brits have long relied on M&S for its excellent knitwear selection, and this year it is better than ever, with plenty of beautiful jumpers and cardigans to choose from. M&S is known in particular for its cashmere crew-necks and rollnecks, and this year they’ve added some amazing colours to its classic arsenal, including bright tangerine, ombre styles and a vibrant pink. When it comes to classic knitwear styles, you really can’t beat a chunky cable-knit jumper at this time of year. We love the simple ivory version, but also how M&S has added some subtle styling tweaks, such as the use of buttons and fringe detailing....
Celebs Are Retiring Their Beanie Hats in Favour of This Winter Accessory
It takes a lot for us to raise an eyebrow, particularly at a celebrity outfit. Spotlighting trends is what we do best, and after years of perfecting our craft, we seldom find ourselves surprised at what people wear. But that’s precisely what happened when we spotted not one but two major fashion muses sporting a somewhat controversial ’90s accessory this winter. Of course, given the recent cold snap, we’re all looking for ways to toastify our outfits, and both Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajkowksi happened upon the same item. Feeling the chill over in NYC, in the space of one week, both Hadid and Ratajkowski stepped out in the very same oversized furry bucket hat. Admittedly, it took a minute for us to wrap our heads around this look, but once we did, we fell hea...
11 Easy Outfits Everyone Will Want to Wear This December
It can be difficult to know what to wear in December when cold weather is undeniable and your schedule is packed. With freezing days to navigate, get-togethers to go to, big meals to eat (stretchy trousers are really the dream ticket), glitzy parties to attend (even if your numbers are small), workdays to still power through (wherever you may be carrying them out) and some cosy lounging moments to enjoy, multiple trendy winter outfits are required—this we know. Assembling them, however, is a different story. Striking the perfect balance between being warm and looking stylish isn’t an easy task, but don’t worry. We have a solution. We’ve looked to the stylish people we follow on Instagram to bring you some much-needed outfit inspiration for the month ahead. Wheth...
I Tried On Every Expensive-Looking High-Street Piece—These 11 Stood Out
After 18 months of only shopping online, I’ve come to the conclusion that a couple of hours browsing in your favourite shops, where you get to see and feel the material of a dress or jacket before making that all-important purchase, pays off. In fact, you’re more likely to pick up those extra-special affordable pieces, as they’re much easier to spot in the flesh. That said, shopping IRL can feel like an assault course at this time of year when the number of people largely increases as we shop for Christmas presents and endless deals and discounts entice customers into the stores. What makes it quicker and easier is knowing what to look out for. The British high street is one of the best in the world, but even I still get blown ...
I’m a Beauty Editor, and These Are the 4 Skincare Ingredients I Won’t Be Without
You see, retinol promotes cell turnover, which helps keep my skin looking fresh and alive so that new, fresh skin comes to the surface more quickly. Niacinamide, on the other hand, keeps my pores in check and soothes any irritation, while vitamin C boosts glow and helps my skin fend off damage caused by environmental aggressors such as pollution and UV rays. Top that off with my number-one skincare must-have, SPF, which protects my skin against ageing and sun damage, and I have the perfect recipe for healthy skin. The downside is that these powerful actives can be expensive. While single-ingredient serums might seem more affordable at first, quite often they aren’t formulated with all the hydrating ingredients that your skin also needs to maintain optimum health. Person...
30 Zara, H&M and Mango Items That Are Chic and Warm and Look Premium
Suddenly, it feels like winter. Gone are the days when I could quickly nip out of the house without a jacket or a considerable amount of knitwear, and it’s time my puffer coat was taken out of storage to be put back into work. It’s not technically “winter” until December 21, but many of us in the team are eagerly counting down the days until it’s appropriate to wear our Arket beanies once more. My boot collection has been finally unboxed again, ready for action. The tights are on, the layers are piling up, and I’m 100% here for it all. And while I’m not one to endlessly buy new items every time a season rolls around, I do enjoy looking at new-in winter items—a lot. It takes a great deal of research to find the best coat or ...

In fashion’s long history, the street style phenomenon might only be a recent one (in its current manifestation anyway), yet it has been pivotal for the formation of trends and subcultures and significant in the rise of many up-and-coming brands. As fashion editors, we find it quite hard to imagine a world without this invaluable source of inspiration. Well, after a not-so-brief hiatus from the normal fashion week scheduling, the spring/summer 2022 shows saw showgoers back with a vengeance, stepping out in all manner of enviable outfits. As always, we have been keeping our eyes peeled to glean inspiration from said outfits, and as you can expect, we were not short of options.
