Sienna Miller Just Wore the Ultimate London Lockdown Outfit
Another day, another image of a celebrity in a puffer jacket outfit we want to emulate. Yesterday we spotted Katie Holmes in a very affordable Mango look, and today we’re all about Sienna Miller’s cold-weather look. While Holmes opted for a knee-grazing quilted coat, Miller is making a case for a cropped style. Seen on the streets of London walking her adorable dogs, Sienna Miller chose a brown padded jacket, vintage wash jeans and a stripe beanie hat. Of course, no Miller look would be complete without a touch of understated luxury, so the star finished her outfit with a pair of very cosy, merino wool-lined Gucci ankle boots. Our dream attire for a dog walk? You bet. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates...
2022 BMW M5 CS First Look: Say Yes to the CS
August 2019. MotorTrend Car of the Year competition. I’m behind the wheel of the Mercedes-AMG GT63S and senior features editor Jonny Lieberman is riding shotgun. As we evaluated the big AMG, I distinctly remember asking him, “where would you ever use all 630 horsepower?” His response was simply, “everywhere.” Clearly, he isn’t the only person who thinks this, because BMW has now given the M5 largely the same amount of grunt. Meet the 2022 BMW M5 CS, now with 627 hp, 553 lb-ft of torque, and way less fat. In simple terms, the new M5 CS is the most powerful BMW to ever hit public roads. But it’s much more than that. BMW claims a 0-62 mph time of 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 190 mph. Not only that, but the M5 also goes on the Atkins diet in its tran...
Kia K900 and Cadenza Discontinued as Sedans Continue Their Decline
Another two sedans bite the dust as the market-wide move to SUVs continues to cut down the remaining four-door holdouts. Add the Kia K900 and Cadenza to the list: Both are dead for 2021, as originally reported by Car and Driver. That said, the shift toward SUVs isn’t new, and the K900—an S-Class-sized bargain luxury sedan—was already essentially a footnote in annual sales figures. The K900 had a steep hill to climb in a segment where brand prestige is a large part of the selling proposition, although anyone able to ignore such considerations found an excellent luxury car for tens of thousands less than its German competition. See all 33 photos The most recent model’s twin-turbo V-6 proved a better powerplant than the previous version’s V-8, and Kia made the ride and handl...
Dillon Francis is Hosting a Madden 21 Charity Tournament Tonight
Dillion Francis is set to kickoff a massive charity Madden 21 tournament tonight. While we won’t get to see him pick up the sticks, he will be manning the decks for a special performance at the livestreamed event. Dubbed “The Chunky Million Meals Challenge,” the event brings together NFL and Madden pros for a showdown to raise money to deliver 100 million meals to those in need. Included in the all-star NFL roster is Saquon Barkley of the New York Giants, Dalvin Cook and Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings, Miles Sanders of the Philadelphia Eagles, and James Robinson of the Jacksonville Jaguars, among others. Some of the event will be broadcast on EA Sports‘ Twitch channel, while the final will be both online and on the NFL Netwo...
If You’re a Shoe Person, Prepare to Gawp at These Cinderella Shoes
Lockdown has been hard in so many ways, but just looking at Mach & Mach’s rhinestone bow–adorned slingbacks is enough to fill us with the optimism we need to see it through and begin imagining how excellent our new shoes will look under the light of a disco ball. Dare to dream. In a slew of pretty hues, including cake frosting–inspired pink and blue, rich emerald, and dazzling pewter, their appeal is undeniable. They’re the sort of shoes we can imagine Miss Piggy cosplaying as Cinderella would wear, which, if you were in any doubt, is a good thing. They’re fabulous, sassy, bold, and playful. They’re sartorial endorphins. They’re sublime enough to make fashion editors with minimal aesthetics swoon. And they’re proving a hit, even amidst our ongoing social hiatus. You Deserve to Mak...

This Understated Nail Polish Is All Over My Feed Right Now, and It’s Beautiful
I’ve got to admit that I’m sold. Trying to find the perfect sheer polish that doesn’t deliver too much pigment and leaves nails looking naturally healthy and preened is no mean feat (trust me—I’ve spent years trying to find it), and it seems Dior unintentionally hit the nail on the head. Though it is technically a base coat to be used under your polish of choice, Westmoreland simply applies three coats of the base on its own and finishes up with a gel-finish topcoat to achieve the ultimate super-shiny, natural-looking mani. So if you’re anything like me and are desperate to embrace the new low-key, minimal nail aesthetic, look no further. After years of testing and trialling every blush-coloured polish around, I can officially say my search is over. Not too sheer (but by no means opaque), ...
I Practically Collect Zara Blazers—Here Are 15 on My Current Wish List
It’s almost impossible to think of a time when blazers didn’t dominate my wardrobe. Sure, I’d worn them at school (I was probably one of the only students who dutifully did so and, dare I say, enjoyed it). However, after leaving high school and enrolling at art school, they served no purpose in my closet. That was until I landed my first magazine internship in London. Unlike my hometown, which, at the time, had no Zara to speak, it felt as if there was a branch on every street corner. As such, during my four-week placement, my love of Zara only grew and grew and, subsequently, so did my blazer collection. For the purposes of this feature, I decided to count how many blazers I have in my wardrobe. In total? Nineteen. And how many of them are from Zara?...
We’ve Found Every Item You Need to Re-Create Katie Holmes’s Wardrobe
Celebrity style obsessions come and go, but some seem to last forever. In the days of Dawson’s Creek, Joey Potter’s (aka Katie Holmes’s) love for denim never failed to inspire us. Now, 18 years on, Katie has definitely found her fashion mojo. She hadn’t ever lost it, but this time, it’s extra good. Of course, A-listers go in and out of the limelight as they, well, get on with their lives, but Katie has become one of the most photographed celebrities of late, even in the midst of lockdown. Her resurgence was confirmed when she stepped out in one particular outfit back in 2019—her now-iconic Khaite cashmere bra-and-cardigan combo. This may not sound like a thing, but believe us. She made it one, and the look instantly went viral.&nb...
The Stats Don’t Lie: These 6 Designer Bags Are Always Worth the Investment
The term “investment buy” gets bandied around a lot in fashion speak. Sure, classic camel coats and well-made shoes will see you through many years, but they’re only an investment in terms of how often you’ll wear them. It’s unlikely you’ll make any more reselling a pair of worn-out shoes. This is why you really can put “bag” and “investment” in the same phrase. Some brands (we’re looking at you, Hermès) will even increase in value as they patiently sit in a dust bag at the back of your wardrobe because of the waiting lists for new styles owing to the time and craft needed to bring a single, say, Birkin to life. Other styles just never date—like Chanel’s 2.55. According to top resale site Open for Vintage, more and more high-end designers are lo...
Alexa Chung Loves These £35 Sandals and I Can’t Wait to Wear a Pair
As far as fashionable footwear is concerned, the prominence of Birkenstock Arizona sandals is nothing new. The style has been around for years (since 1973 in fact) and is heralded as one of the comfiest options available. Then, arguably due to the pandemic, it became the world’s second most-wanted item of clothing in 2020, after Off-White’s face mask. According to Lyst, the global fashion search platform, it was the designer collaborations with Valentino, Proenza Schouler, and Rick Owens that helped to boost the brand’s profile but I’d also wager that the time spent inside combined with needing shoes we can go for walks in boosted the shoe’s desirability even futher. Celebrities agree too, including Katie Holmes, Gigi Hadid and Alexa Chung, who ove...
