Angelina Jolie and Gemma Chan Among the Best-Dressed Stars on the Eternals Red Carpet
Marvel Studios’s Eternals delivered a very coordinated celebrity red carpet. Featuring Angelina Jolie, Gemma Chan, Salma Hayek, and Kit Harington, the stars wore neutral-coloured outfits with subtle sparkling details to attend the Eternals premieres in Los Angeles and Rome. Angelina Jolie and Gemma Chan were some of the best-dressed celebrities on the Eternals press tour. Jolie wore classic floor-length gowns in black, brown, and silver while attending premieres with her equally well-dressed daughters Zahara and Shiloh. We particularly loved the simple black one-shoulder Ralph Lauren gown that Jolie wore to the Eternals photo call at the Rome Film Festival. Chan’s looks were definitely the most memorable. Chan, who plays Sersi in the film, wore couture pieces by Miss Sohee and ...
8 Boots That Should Be Worn With Skirts to Be Fully Appreciated
Any trouser-phobe will tell you that skirts aren’t only for summer; they open up a world of styling opportunities come winter, too. All you need are the perfect boots to pair with them. This season, however, it seems there are more boot options to choose from than ever before—hiker, thigh-high, combat, lace-up, Western, to name but a few—which in turn makes deciphering which styles look best with which outfits all the more difficult. So, shifting our focus back onto the aforementioned skirt, we decided to uncover the best boots to wear with skirts, with a little help from some of our fashion friends. Keep scrolling to see eight flawless boot-and-skirt pairings. Then, proceed to shop everything you need to re-create the look for yourself. You Deserve t...
9 Outfits That’ll Make You Rethink Neutrals Being “Boring”
Like anyone, we love a good pop of colour every now and then, but—hear us out—all-neutral outfits can be incredibly chic. We also can’t deny how simple they make getting dressed—which is sometimes why colourful dressing is deemed trickier. Sticking to a spectrum of cream, brown, and beige means you can mix and match with abandon because all these shades go together seamlessly. Still, worried that working in the absence of vibrant hues will make your minimalist outfits a little lackluster? Trust us when we say neutral-toned dressing is anything but boring. It just takes a jolt of inspiration to get the outfits right. Think about layering textures when testing out monochrome dressing, and you’ll stand out but in a subtle way. To prove our point, we rounded up some of our fav...
I’ve Had So Many Compliments On My Lashes Since Using This Cult Product
To say I was humbled is an understatement. With consistent use, my lashes are longer than I could have imagined. When I look up and shift my eyes from left to right, I can feel my lashes tickle my brow. When I add mascara into the mix, they look like I’ve added in individuals. I feel like it’s given my coy eyelash batting a new lease of life, especially in the era of the facemask. I have to put emphasis on the need for consistency though. You do need to be disciplined– every night before I go to bed, I swipe the brush across my top lash line and allow the ingredients to sink in to encourage growth. I used it at night because the body repair itself at night so I figured that was the best time for aiding growth, however, if you prefer, the morning is fine too. Whatever time you use it ...
This Is Where Our Editors Plan on Buying Their Chunky Boots This Winter
Luckily for us, it doesn’t seem like chunky boots are going anywhere anytime soon. Year after year, they come back stronger than ever—so much so that we’re pretty sure they’ve officially transitioned from a trend into a classic wardrobe staple. As you can probably tell from all our Instagram photos and WTBYB shoots, we Who What Wear editors are big fans of the chunky boot in all its iterations. Ankle, knee-high, lace-up—you name it. Maybe we love them so much because they’re just so versatile. Throw them on with your favourite full-length jeans, cropped jeans, mini skirt or midi dress, and they’ll upgrade the most basic of looks instantly. You can even wear them with your summer dresses to carry them straight into autumn. Plus, they’re practical, and we love it when form and function meet ...
’70s Nail Art Is Everywhere Right Now—Here Are 10 Looks We’re Obsessed With
While nail art has always been a thing, it’s undeniable that the reopening of nail salons earlier this year recaptured our imagination when it came to experimenting with our manicures. Basic nail colours were pushed aside in favour of vibrant blues, cute pastels and glitter while a penchant for prints (I’m talking everything from cow to colourful French tips) gave way to a summer of covetable nail micro-trends. And as for the nail trends that will be seeing us through the autumn and winter months? Well, there’s one, in particular, that’s dominating my Saved folder on Instagram right now: retro ’70s prints. Yes, I’m talking psychedelic swirls, clashing colour palettes, flower prints and pops of brown. When it comes to nails, there is no doubt that the ...

Behold: 13 Mesmerising Beauty Trends From the Spring 2022 Runways
When it comes to beauty and fashion month, pretty much anything goes. And as self-professed hair and makeup obsessives, we pretty much live for it. (In our eyes, the weirder and more outlandish, the better.) The sparkling shows in New York, London, Milan and Paris have come and gone, but the artistic visions of designers (and the leagues of über-talented makeup artists and hairstylists) are still swirling in our inspiration-starved brains. We’ve taken a beat to ingest everything we saw—from glitter-crusted earlobes and limbs to bumblebee-stamped complexions—and put together a comprehensive list of the most notable (and actually try-able) beauty looks we spotted repeatedly in each and every city. Y2K inspirations continued to pull their weight via glitter, centre parti...
If Your Blue-Jeans Outfits Need a Refresh, Here Are 9 Cool Looks to Try
Blue jeans—where would our wardrobes be without them? We dread to think. No item in your wardrobe is as hard-working and versatile as blue jeans. You can wear them for everything from shopping trips to brunch, walks in the park to weekend cocktails. But still, our reliance on them can sometimes mean we take them for granted and don’t give them the same love and attention as we do other items on our outfit roster. We simply throw them on without giving them so much as a second thought. Well, no more! To stop them from becoming stagnant—particularly in the colder months when we wear them as frequently as we do jumpers—we’ve found nine blue-jeans outfits that will help you truly appreciate them and unlock their full style potential. So whether you’re looking for new ways t...
