Thandiwe Newton and Daughter Nico Parker Wear Versace to Celebrate First Film Together
Thandiwe Newton‘s adorable daughter Nico Parker is following in her mum’s footsteps. The duo attended the premiere for Reminiscence on Tuesday, 17 Aug., which is their first film together. To celebrate such an epic mum-daughter milestone, Newton and Parker both wore sparkling Versace minidresses on the red carpet. Nico Parker’s acting career is starting out strong thanks to her mama, and it seems that her red carpet style is also getting superstar guidance. To attend the premiere for Reminiscence, Newton wore a metallic, one-shoulder Grecian-inspired Atelier Versace minidress with a single yellow silk sleeve, and gold-and-silver fringe and vine details. Parker wore a sparkling blue paisley-print Versace minidress with matching tights from the brand’s 2022 resort col...
The 2021 British Fashion Awards Returns to the Royal Albert Hall This November
After a year-long hiatus from a dazzling red carpet, The Fashion Awards is returning to the Royal Albert Hall on Monday, 29 Nov, 2021. While celebrating those who have had a transformative impact on the fashion industry in 2021, the British Fashion Council (BFC) is repositioning this year’s event as an entertainment platform to show how fashion is a cultural meeting point for brands, creatives, designers, and artists. The most anticipated awards at The Fashion Awards 2021 will go to Designer of the Year and the recipient of the BFC Foundation Award. Previous winners of Designer of the Year are Daniel Lee for Bottega Veneta (2019), and Pierpaolo Piccioli for Valentino (2018), with previous recipients of the BFC Foundation Award going to Wales Bonner (2019), and Molly Goddard (2018).

I Never Wear Lipstick Without Liner, and These Are the Only Ones I Rate
No matter how small my bag is, there are always three makeup items that I have with me at all times: lipstick or balm, a mini perfume and a lip liner. Anything else that finds its way in there is an added bonus, but these are what I consider to be my absolute essentials. And while for some, lip liner might feel like one step too far when it comes to a low-maintenance makeup routine, I simply can’t wear anything on my lips (be it balm or lipstick) without lip liner anymore. And this is why. A lip liner has the undeniable power to elevate your lip look from basic to “wow” in mere moments. Even if I’m just wearing a balm, I’ll apply a neutral-brown lip liner first, and then blend it in with one of the many lip balms t...
30 High-Street Buys That Are Worth the Investment This Autumn
Sorry, summer-fashion fanatics, but I’m having a hard time concealing my excitement at the fact that autumnal buys are starting to drop on the high street. The new-in categories are no longer dominated by floaty dresses and heatwave separates. Rather, they have become a veritable celebration of cold-weather heroes. Think crisp shirting, sumptuous knits, immaculately tailored jackets and stompy boots. It’s enough to make any layering lover swoon.

Sweet Perfumes Can Have a Bad Rep, But These 12 Smell So Good
When it comes to fragrance keepsakes, I know of many a perfume lover that continues to cling onto a dusty bottle (or two) of their saccharine, coming-of-age scent—purely for nostalgia’s sake. After all, is there anything more comforting than a vanilla-infused spritz of the fragrance that saw you through your teenage years? To this very day, I I still reminisce about my first ever fragrance: Avril Lavigne’s Black Star Eau De Parfum. Combining two of the ’00s most vital perfume ingredients (a celebrity endorsement and a syrupy aroma) even just a glance at the star-shaped bottle takes me back to 2009. Yes, the scent itself was sickly-sweet, but the more subtle notes of pink hibiscus, black plum and dark chocolate spoke to me—and have been inspiring my frag...

It’s been a tough old year for the Great British high-street, with every week seeing another gloomy headline that speaks of lay-offs and store closures. Yet, behind the media coverage, M&S (surely one of the longest-standing members of the affordable fashion community) is continuing to do what it does best: Deliver timeless, well-executed staples for the shopping public. Fashion-wise, August is always a tricky time of year, with temperatures remaining balmy, but the cool winds of autumn not far off.

M&S has the solution—its online store is packed-full of trans-seasonal gems that will blend seamlessly into your capsule wardrobe and adapt...
I’ve Worked Out the Items Carrie Bradshaw Always Wears No Matter the Decade
Carrie Bradshaw is nothing if not a fashion devotee. After all, she is the character who once said she would sometimes buy Vogue instead of dinner because she felt it “fed her more.” And while I would by no means advocate for that sort of behaviour, you do have to admire her passion for the cause. From the original Sex and the City series to the movies and new season on the horizon, Bradshaw’s wardrobe has long been a hotly debated topic of conversation. Between the eclectic styling, OTT accessories and sheer number of Manolo Blahniks, there’s always been a lot to discuss. However, while we could spend hours debating the best SATC looks of all time or dissecting in great detail the true meaning behind Bradshaw’s latest outfits, today, we’re here to recou...

Thankfully, there’s plenty to choose from this season, whether you’re in the market for a slick suit or flowing floral maxi. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

This Best-Selling Dress Has Just Been Restocked—5 Ways I Plan on Wearing It
Since breaking out on the fashion scene, Ghost has become one of my all-time-favourite dress brands. I own its iconic Jenna Dress in three colourways (blue, black and pink, in case you’re wondering), which I managed to snap up in various sales. I’ve also recently dabbled in the Luella, which is just as excellent. However, out of all Ghost dresses, the Palm has perhaps piqued my excitement the most. As I’ve alluded, it’s a slip dress, but one with a subtle V-point scoop neckline and straps thick enough to wear over even my comfiest bra. If I could have designed my perfect slip dress, it would look exactly like this. It’s available in four chic shades—deep taupe, peach, sage and khaki—and when the dress first launched, the green hues swiftly sold out, ...
I’m Obsessed With Puffers—These Are the 20 I’ve Already Noted Down
I can pinpoint exactly when padded coats became a desirable item for the fashion crowd. It was March 2016 during Demna Gvasalia’s first Balenciaga collection. He had just become the creative director of the fashion house and was very specific about what our autumn/winter wardrobes would look like: structured hourglass blazers, bold patterns and padded coats. No longer reserved for the likes of ramblers and extreme sports enthusiasts, Gvasalia’s red puffer jacket worn off the shoulder over the top of a bejewelled bodysuit with black jeans and gemstone-encrusted heels proved this item’s sudden fabulousness. Across the high street and luxury fashion houses, designers scrambled to create a similar look—such was this garment’s influence. You Deserve to Make Mon...
2020’s Coolest Sandal Drop is Back, and I Road-Tested the Best Styles
Fashion collaborations come in a variety of guises; some result in an exciting fusion of design aesthetics while others, well, let’s just say should’ve just stuck to what they do best. Proenza Schouler and Birkenstock might not have been the most obvious of fashion bedfellows, but when these two brands dropped their first sandal collaboration last year, the fashion crowd couldn’t get enough—and neither could we. Bringing all of Proenza’s design know-how and the comfy, hard-wearing appeal of Birkenstock’s iconic sandal, the resulting styles entered the market just as the ‘Gorpcore’ trend was hitting the big time. With their clean lines, pops of colour and comfortable fit, they were a rare meeting of form ...
Kendall, Bella and Hailey All Love This Controversial Trend—And I Do Too
It’s a real feat of fashion design to be able to tread the line between uber-sass and sophistication. But Jacquemus somehow manages to pull it off season after season. Whether it’s cut-out skirts, fitted dresses or cropped shirts, there’s no escaping that his more revealing pieces still look chic. Part of the winning formula is to do with the way in which an outfit is styled but also I’d say that he often sticks to a more muted palette (with the exception of the bold pinks and oranges) and this gives the pieces a more demure sheen. This season, it’s the turn of the micro cardigan. Spotted on various celebrities—Kendall Jenner on the most recent Jacquemus runway as part of the La Montagne collection, Hailey Bieber out an about in L.A. and Bella H...
