Jaguar’s Vision GT SV Is a Voluptuous Virtual Supercar for the PlayStation Set
Last year, Jaguar showed off the Vision Gran Turismo Coupé, a virtual design study showcased in the Gran Turismo video game. Like most digital-only creations, it’s fanciful, futuristic, and provocative. The Vision GT SV is an evolution of the earlier design, again rendered digitally, but also paired with a real-life, full-scale model to help realize the design itself. We’re unlikely to ever see anything like this hit the road, but as Porsche’s recent design studies showed us, even certain shapes never intended for production can influence future road car design. Plus, unlike those previously unseen Porsches, you can actually spend some time with this Jag if you own a PlayStation.

Dua Lipa is Having ‘Snow Much Fun’ in Her Stylish Snowsuit
Oh, the weather outside in New York is frightful, but Dua Lipa‘s snow outfit is so delightful. The Future Nostalgia singer camouflaged herself in a head-to-toe ’60s-yet-futuristic floral weatherproof outfit for a snowy photo shoot. Her matching puffer coat, tights and pumps came straight from the Richard Quinn x Moncler Genius collection. Celine Dion rocked the same exact print back in March while she was taking a stroll in a much sunnier NYC. “Avinnnn snow much fun,” Lipa captioned the wintery photo series on her socials Wednesday. She announced that she’ll be on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday night (Dec. 17) “for a Christmas treaaaat,” according to her caption of another trio of style shots f...
Nissan GT-R (X) 2050 Concept First Look: A Wearable Autonomous Supercar?
The Nissan GT-R (X) 2050 concept is quite obviously a flight into the future. Designed by Nissan intern Jaebum (JB) Choi, it is an autonomous supercar designed for a single occupant who puts on a dockable body suit, climbs in, and lies face down and face first. This contortionist exercise is no mere sketch, either. David Woodhouse, vice president of Nissan Design America, was intrigued enough by Choi’s vision that he approved a full-scale model to be built. See all 35 photos Nissan GT-R (X) Concept: All About the Size and Shape The concept is almost 10 feet long but is only about 2 feet high. It only has room for one person—who, technically, is not the driver since it is an autonomous vehicle. Would you ride in something like this, in that face-first, face-down position? We̵...
Chinese-Market Ford Mustang Mach-E Goes All-In With a Single Front-End Design
Arguably the most important new global product for the Blue Oval is the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E electric SUV. Not only is this the first use of the Mustang name on an electric vehicle (not to mention four-door, or SUV), but it’s Ford’s first new global electric vehicle since the afterthought compliance vehicle that was the Focus Electric. In other words, this is one new vehicle Ford can’t afford to screw up here or anywhere, really. Ford is therefore making one small change to the Mustang Mach-E to suit local tastes in the Chinese market—currently the largest EV market in the world. That change is to the front fascia of the Chinese-market Mustang Mach-E—essentially the Mach-E’s face. While North American and European Mustang Mach-Es (both sourced from Ford’s ...
The Puffer Coats That Katie Holmes, VB and Other Celebs Are Wearing RN
Celebrities are not impervious to the cold, even if they manage to somehow look more glamorous dressing for it than we mere mortals. Where some similarities do lie, however, is in their sensible choice of outerwear. Whether you’re having a wild time at your favourite Sainsbury’s Local or going on a walk around the country manor grounds with David Beckham (you too? Weird!), what brings A-listers and our wardrobes together is a shared love for puffer coats and jackets. Only today were we reminded of the fact when 2020’s official “queen of casual” Katie Holmes, stepped out onto the chilly sidewalks of NYC wearing a snuggly, puffy black cropped jacket. It’s a style of basic padded outerwear that I’ve seen all over the streets of eas...
Ditch Your Foundation and Try These Anti-Ageing Alternatives
BB creams are effectively skin tints that offer creamy light to medium coverage for daily wear—not to be confused with CC (colour-correcting) or DD (daily-defense) creams. The “BB” stands for “beauty balm,” and they are rich with proactive ingredients, including peptides and antioxidants such as vitamins A, E, and C. So what do you need to look for in an anti-ageing formula? There are various BB creams suited for both oily and dry skin types. For anti-ageing, SPF is one of the key ingredients, and wearing a BB cream can help you remember to wear an SPF every day, another anti-ageing bonus. Personally, however, I do struggle to find a BB cream to match my brown skin tone. Often made with a subtle one-shade-fits-all pigment (or not) and SPF, they can someti...
Experts Tell Me These 5 Engagement Ring Trends Will Dominate Next Year
Out of the nine jewellers who I spoke to, over half told me that coloured stones and gems are going to be big business in 2021. Emma Clarkson Webb says she’s seeing a “real movement towards coloured gemstones—from salt and pepper diamonds to tsavorites and tourmalines.” Similarly, Lucy Crowther, the founder of Minka Jewels, says she’s seen a rise in the popularity of coloured pieces. “I love chunky gold rings with a flash of colour, and this coming year, I think we will be seeing a lot more of them,” she says. Phoebe Coleman also said that she expects to see an increase in people being more adventurous with their stone choices, “opting for grey sapphires rather than royal blue for example,” she tells me. Yo...
100 Years Later, We’re Still Wearing Trends From This Decade
When it comes to the revolutionary power and the decadent style of Gatsby-era fashion, you can’t deny the freedom-fuelled razzle-dazzle of the 1920s. Flapper dresses with string pearls, feather boas, and cloche hats (worn without a hint of irony), Chanel’s then-radical androgynous “garçonne” silhouette… It was a time of wild abandon, empowering new cuts, shorter hemlines, and unabashed party dressing. Marlene Dietrich, Joan Crawford, and Zelda Fitzgerald (née Sayre) ruled the style scene, and we’re only just getting started on why this is the decade our wardrobes should be really celebrating. A century later, it might be surprising to learn that we still, perhaps without even realising it, constantly reference this decade in our wardrobes. Not only do we still ...
Taylor Hanson & Wife Natalie Welcome Their Seventh Baby: ‘7 Is a Beautiful Number’
The 37-year-old singer announced that he and Natalie, who have been married since 2002, were expecting their seventh baby in a sweet Instagram post back in September. “The best kind of unexpected. Number seven coming this December. #2020,” he wrote. He told Today’s Parent in 2017 about the lessons he’s learned of being part of a big family. “I think what’s really cool about bigger families is that everybody develops this innate ability to figure out how to compromise, work with others and realize that the entire world doesn’t revolve around you,” he said at the time. “It also encourages you to be an individual because you can clearly see your differences from a brother or sister. I see that with my kids: They’re very different, ...
The 2020 Toyota GR Yaris Is a Street-Legal Rally Car You Can’t Buy
Toyota Yaris Full Overview Every so often Toyota, purveyor of sensible, family-friendly SUVs, minivans, and sedans, builds a car that absolutely blows you away: The 2000GT that debuted in 1965 and was intended to take on the Jaguar E-Type; the rally-inspired Celica GT-Four of the early ’90s; the flawed but fabulous Lexus LFA with its screaming naturally aspirated V-10. The 2020 Toyota GR Yaris is without a doubt a member of this select group. In fact, it might be the best of the lot. You see, this little hot hatch, specifically designed and engineered to allow the Yaris to compete in the World Rally Championship, is perhaps the most focused driver’s car you can buy right now this side of a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. First things first: The GR Yaris has nothing in common with the subco...
2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS: What We Know About the EV Flagship
2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS: New Electric Architecture Mercedes plans to put six EVs on the market by 2022, and at the forefront of the three-pointed star’s electric vehicle pursuits is the EQS sedan. Unlike the GLC-based Mercedes EQC electric crossover, the EQS is due to ride on a dedicated EV platform, dubbed EVA2. It might be the S-Class of Mercedes EVs, but the EQS won’t share its architecture with the brand’s recently redesigned flagship sedan. Although we’ve yet to hear from the German automaker regarding the production EQS’s specifications, we suspect the big EV will initially debut with all-wheel-drive (one electric motor at each axle) and an approximately 100-kWh battery pack. 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS: Big Range See all 27 photos 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQS: Deca...
These 3-Piece Outfits Are So Easy to Style But Don’t Look Simple
If I’m being frank, my aim when finding an outfit is to be able to get dressed in under five minutes and give it little to no thought. Of course, I want to give the illusion that I haven’t just thrown on whatever I’ve found on my clothes pile and that I’ve spent time leisurely getting ready. Throw-on outfits are my thing, so I scrolled through my recently saved Instagram posts to share with you some easy-to-style ensembles that don’t look quite so simple. Below, I’ve found nine no-brainer outfit ideas that work for our more low-key December plans but are interesting enough to still give the impression that you’ve got dressed up a little. Items that stand out as being particularly easy to style include scoop-neck long-sleeve tops, ribbed k...
