Angelina Jolie’s Dress-and-Sandals Combo Is so Simple Yet so Oddly Perfect
Queen of minimalist street style Angelina Jolie strikes again, folks. This time, her location is New York City and her outfit involves a dress, and it’s the most classic summer dress style you can wear. She opted for a lightweight white midi style with wide straps and a tie at the waist. The only other thing she needed was a pair of sandals. She opted for a pair of low-heel tan slides that are the perfect complement to a white dress. As usual, she kept the rest of her accessories minimal with just a shoulder bag and a watch. We’d be hard-pressed to name one dress style that’s more crucial for summer than a casual white dress. It’s one of the breeziest, prettiest things you can wear, and it will never go out of style. Just look at Angelina Jolie—this p...

These 13 Dresses Are Chic in the Front and “Wow” at the Back
When fashion analyst platform Lyst spots a trend, you know it’s worth paying attention to, and last week, the platform reported that cut-out and backless dresses are on the rise. “While interest for cut-out pieces has been consistently high since May, searches for ‘open-back dresses,’ in particular, are up 18% since the start of June,” the website stated in its weekly data report. “Shoppers are viewing backless satin dresses as well as voluminous open-back dresses. Searches have increased by 70% and 55% respectively over the last month. SIR the Label’s Alena Open-Back Dress and Cult Gaia’s Serita Dress have been popular in searches over the past couple of weeks.” You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates On...
Meghan, Rosie and Zoë All Swear By This Cult Concealer
Once in a while, there comes along a beauty product that shakes up the industry and completely changes the game when it comes to product formulation. One such shining beacon first launched way back in 1992 and came in the form of a now iconic golden pen. Inside, it held a first-of-its-kind formula—a skin illuminator and highlighter that was used to add light and radiance to skin at a time when matte complexions were all the rage. Of course, the product that I’m talking about is the Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Illuminating Pen (£27). A hybrid between a highlighter and concealer, this click-pen product boasts a multitude of uses. Apply it beneath eyes to brighten dark circles, on tops of cheekbones for a subtle highlight, around the nose...
This One Colour Is the Coolest Thing to Wear on Your Nails Right Now
From bubblegum pink and sunshine orange to soft lavender and minty green, summer’s trending nail colours come as no surprise. Whether it’s Crayola-inspired brights or pretty pastels, the warmer months see us heading to nail salons in droves for an injection of colour. But this year there’s one, in particular, that has gone straight to the top of everyone’s nail-colour wish list: blue. Yes, another nail-trend curveball for 2021. We’ve already had glitter and cow print. What’s next? Blue is having a major moment right now, and I predict it’s going to be everywhere this summer. It’s surprisingly versatile, and the great thing about the blue nail trend is that there’s a shade to suit every taste...
Is It Just Me, or Do All the Coolest Dresses Come in This Shade?
Back in spring, fashion analytics platform Lyst reported that green was on its way to becoming the colour of 2021, with searches for the hue rising 41% in the space of a month. I am certainly not immune to the draw of the shade, and I have found myself going green in all areas of my life: from interiors purchases to new-season accessories. There has, however, been something particularly alluring about the green dress, and while I haven’t always been the biggest fan of frocks, the recent slew of grass-coloured pieces has piqued my interest.

13 Summer Outfits We Love For Every Kind of Weather
I don’t know about you, but all I can think about is summer. If like me you are dreaming of afternoons in beer gardens and summer parties with friends, then you might already be searching for the perfect summer outfits for our return to socialising with fewer restrictions. I for one bought a pair of sandals and a summer cotton dress within hours of the proposal for a more free summer, and have been looking for outfit ideas ever since. Sometimes, summer outfits need to be straightforward and simple to assemble, with just a flourish of a key accessory or subtle injection of a new styling move, and sometimes—because the UK’s climate is so unpredictable—the layering and construction will be more demanding. We’ve supplied the more advanced levels, of course. Remember...
5 LGBTQ+ Fashion People on Pride Month, Style and Identity
What are some pieces of clothing that make you feel like the best version of yourself? When I want to feel myself a little more than usual, I like to use clothing as a way to build a fantasy for myself. So something like a heel or a bag can really transport me to another dimension. While wearing them, I am able to channel all of the powerful women that I’ve admired for the whole of my life. Now, it’s my turn to strut down the street and make people’s heads turn as I make a halt to whip out my gloss from my bag and touch up my lips! (Yes, I live my life in an incredibly cinematic way.) Fashion, in recent years, has had a big push towards inclusivity and diversity in general. I’m curious to know if there are any fashion brands, in particular, you see as being truly inclusive and celebra...
My Hair Has Never Looked So Healthy, and It’s Thanks to These 15 Products
Unsurprisingly, the sorts of products we’re using on our hair can make all the difference when it comes to strengthening strands. “Once the hair becomes brittle and the cuticles get damaged, it can’t be fixed,” says Smart. “However, there are things that temporarily strengthen the hair, including products containing protein. This allows an extra layer of protection by binding the cuticle and plugging any gaps to help strengthen. Secondly, you’ve got to infuse the hair with moisture,” she adds. As for the products themselves, look for deep-conditioning treatments and masks to get as much moisture into lengths as possible. “Using the right products to help keep hair strong is key, with conditioners and treatments being essential. A treatment will penetrate deeper into the hair to help r...
I’ve Pre-Planned My Summer Party Outfits, and They Look Like This
Out of all the fashion-based dilemmas in life, what to wear to a party has got to be one of the trickiest, as so many factors come into play. From how fancy or dressed-down to be, as well as working out which shoes won’t give you blisters seconds after you leave the house, it’s a veritable minefield of environmental and aesthetic hazards. Oh, and that’s not to mention the added layer of social distancing. As a self-confessed planner (yes, I’m one of those people who decide their outfit the night before), I’ve been scouting out key pieces to wear to parties this season. In my opinion, it’s better to plan ahead to avoid a panic-buying situation. Careful thought is so much more likely to lead to a smart investment you’ll wear...
Best Wardrobes in Britain: Fisayo Longe
So tell us more about how you invented the Gaia print and your inspiration behind it? We did that with a Nigerian woman called Adebusola Ekoko, from a print company called Grapes Pattern Bank, and I sent her a mood board and we started by discussing colours. She said she found my voice very fluid. So that was what inspired her to come up with the Gaia. When I first came up with it it was actually very different, I just knew I wanted lots of colours and brightness. It only took a few weeks of back and forth as she really understood my vision. It’s definitely our best selling product, and it’s frustrating that everyone has copied it because then it looks like I was just playing into a trend, and so now I’m figuring out what we do. It’s become what our brand is known for, as even our pa...
Rosie HW’s Facialist Just Shared These 7 Amazing Skincare Tips With Me
Shani Darden is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after aestheticians in LA. With an impressively starry client list—including the likes of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Jessica Alba and Kelly Rowland—she’s renowned in the industry for her hands-on experience with challenging skin conditions and a passion for healthy, glowy complexions. With a year-long waiting list for an appointment with Darden herself at her Beverly Hills studio, it makes perfect sense then that Darden decided to launch her own range of skincare products—giving all of us a chance to achieve that coveted A-list glow at home. And while her iconic Retinol Reform serum launched back in 2013 and quickly achieved a cult following, the full Shani Darden Skin Care line has o...
