National Television Awards 2021: The Best-Dressed Celebrities on the Red Carpet
After multiple delays due to the coronavirus pandemic, the 2021 National Television Awards are finally here. Originally scheduled to take place in January, the ceremony — which honours the best of the best of British television — was delayed twice until a September date was eventually set. Hosted by The Masked Singer‘s Joel Dommett, the event took place on 8 Sept. at the O2 Arena in London and aired live on ITV. The NTAs brought out some of the UK’s biggest TV stars, and honoured 2021’s most-talked about shows, including It’s a Sin, which won for best new drama, The Great British Bake Off, which in addition to saving us during lockdown won the award for best challenge show, and Line of Duty, which took home two awards out of the four it was nominated for. But like a...
These Fashion Editor–Approved Boots Will Be Big News This Autumn
Making its presence felt both at fashion week and on Instagram feeds, this boot style is no longer a novelty in the shoe lineup and rather a reliable staple that is challenging classic knee-highs for the top spot. If the idea of an elaborate cutout detailing or snake print is enough to make you run for the hills, then rest reassured that 2021‘s offering is wide-ranging. There are plenty of subtle, block-coloured iterations that only have the merest hint of Western styling (think a Cuban heel or pointed toe). Cowboy boots are sure to work hard in your wardrobe now and right into the cooler months—whether it’s with a voluminous smock dress or a pair of high-waisted flared jeans (its great for adding a few inches). I would also recommend checking out secondhand sites, such as Etsy...

The H&M Studio Collection Just Dropped—Here Are the 21 Pieces We Rate
Readers, listen up. H&M’s been at it again. Yep, the high-street megastore has created a whole new Studio line, and this time, it’s for autumn/winter 2021. Much like the previous collections, this has a more directional approach than the main line’s items. This season’s inspiration seems to come from ’80s power dressing, so expect oversized shoulders, maximalist suiting and bold, bright colours. Oranges, blues and browns are the predominant hues throughout, but there are flashes of white, too. Accessories are similarly bold, with oversized sunglasses, statement earrings and chunky diamanté necklaces featuring prominently. There are also hints of a cool après-ski vibe thanks to the stirrup leggings and wrap-around sunnies. Ultimately though, these are pieces you’ll most likely...

Jen and Ben Are Cruising Through Venice Looking Utterly Glorious
Just when I was about to hit that mid-afternoon slump, along came Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck to save the day. Arriving in ultra-glamorous style to the Venice Film Festival, everyone’s favourite reunited couple took to the canals of this iconic Italian city in their finest garms—a white lace fit ‘n’ flare dress for J.Lo and, well, a standard black polo shirt for Ben—and canoodled in a luxe leather-clad speedboat. It was enough to send the paparazzi into a spin, and almost every frame of this fabulous journey was documented. I may be reading into things here, but white lace is rather bridal, isn’t it? Only a few days ago did J.Lo make yet another grand entrance into Italy for the Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda show. (You may recall her birt...
