These Are Autumn’s Top Cult Buys, According to Influencers
When you spend as much time looking at clothes as I do, you start to pick up on various, highly specific things. Whether it’s spotting an abstract print and instantly knowing which brand it belongs to or seeing the buckle of a shoe and being able to correctly identify its designer, there’s a certain encyclopaedic knowledge that comes with being a fashion editor. Recognising trends is simply a part of the job, and as everything takes place online these days, I often find myself making subconscious mental notes of the trends and popular items I see on Instagram. From Bottega Veneta’s fringe bag collection to JW Anderson’s instantly recognisable chunky chain accessories, the fashion set seems to be gravitating towards several st...
I Was Dubious About Natural Skincare But These 15 Products Actually Work
To push myself well and truly out of my beauty comfort zone, I made a pledge with myself to take home and test all of the natural beauty products that I’ve been sent over the last few weeks; after all, there’s no better time to experiment with your beauty routine than when you’re working from home. I also chatted with as many brands as possible to find out their natural beauty recommendations. Turns out, some of the products that are already a part of my regular skincare rotation are natural and I hadn’t even realised it. Disclaimer: I’m still learning about natural beauty so, while some of these products might not be 100% natural, they all harness plant-based and natural ingredients as a major part of their formula...
Yes, Celebs Served Looks for the Virtual Emmys—Here’s What They Wore
No red carpet, no problem. Like many of us, celebrities will take any excuse to dress up for a change, and the Emmys is certainly the perfect opportunity—even if it’s virtual. Nominees are tuning in from their own homes, but that didn’t stop them from dressing to the nines. Tracee Ellis Ross, for instance, stayed true to her bold red carpet style in a gold Alexandre Vauthier dress. (Bonus points for her mini red carpet!) With heavy hitters like Reese Witherspoon, Regina King, and Jennifer Aniston nominated, the night promises to be exciting. Scroll down to see what celebrities wore to the virtual Emmys in 2020.

These Are the 7 Most Photogenic Autumn Trends, Hands Down
Street style photographer Darrel Hunter is someone I always look to for capturing the biggest trends during fashion month. With an eye for what instantly reads as photogenic, the London-based photographer’s images are an instant study of what I immediately want to add to my closet and start wearing right away. Having spotted style photos that Hunter took recently at Copenhagen Fashion Week, I was curious to hear his thoughts on the biggest emerging autumn trends on his radar and what we can expect to see more of for the season ahead. From sleek leather pieces to the colours that are taking over to the suiting silhouettes we’ll be seeing more of in 2020, Hunter is voicing his thoughts about the photogenic autumn trends—both on and off the street style scene. Here, see w...
League of Legends Debuts “Worlds” 2020 Theme Featuring Jeremy McKinnon of A Day to Remember
Every year, the international video game behemoth League of Legends releases an anthem in honor of its annual World Championship, referred to in shorthand as “Worlds.” The game’s developer, Riot Games, has an in-house music team that actually creates each anthem and chooses the star collaborators to be featured on the yearly singles. In the past, the team recruited the help of Zedd, The Glitch Mob, and Imagine Dragons, among others. While each iteration has a slightly different theme, the anthems are all decidedly epic, channeling the immense magnitude of the international esports event. The “Worlds” 2020 theme is no exception to this rule, as Riot Games recruited three high-profile collaborators to bring the story of the tournam...
44 Fashion Week Moments That Stopped Us in Our Tracks
London Fashion Week, and fashion month, in general, is a strange one this season. While it’s a great privilege to run around to show after show, looking at beautiful garments and spotting A-lists on the front row (and maybe even sitting next to one), I really, really miss it. And especially the September one. It is exactly like being back at school—you see friends you haven’t seen in a while, you get to gossip and catch up and have a giggle. Yes, there are some ridiculous sights to see too, I won’t deny that, but it’s a moment in the calendar when we all get the chance to really celebrate the creativity of the fashion industry. We can take a step back and see how designers are interpreting our world right now and what they’re look...
Stacey Dooley Told Me Her Personal Style Formula
What are the best haircare tips you’ve ever received? “I’m not very high maintenance—quite the opposite. I wash my hair, at a push, once a week. I learnt very early on that dry shampoo is my best pal as I’ve been in situations in countries where I’ve not been able to wash my hair. I’ll have my hair down for a couple of days, then when it’s greasy, I’ll give my hair a quick spray of dry shampoo.” What are the weirdest haircare tips you’ve ever received? And did you try any of them? “Put lemon juice in your hair and you’ll get natural highlights, although I’ve yet to see that working! I tried colouring my hair when I was young but it never went well. I did also go through a phase of letting a girl on my estate...
Katie Holmes Has Convinced Us to Try This Autumn Footwear Trend
Ever since the now-infamous bradigan moment, Katie Holmes’ errand-running outfits have become a regular addition to the celebrity news cycle. This is hardly a surprise, given many of the actress’ best looks take place off the red carpet. After all, who could forget the suede fringe jackets, Birkenstocks sandals and enviably-cool pieces by cult label Khaite. While Holmes does have quite the affinity for Birkenstock Arizona Evas—she was spotted in the shoes several times throughout summer—with the changing of the season, it seems the actress has found herself another pair of preferred footwear. Holmes has been seen out and about on the street of New York a few times recently, sporting a pair of satin green mules by UK-based label, Le Monde Beryl. Handcra...
Jaguar’s XJR9 Is a Bonkers British Racer and Le Mans Legend
Sir John Egan, the man who pulled Jaguar out of the state-owned morass that was British Leyland, was a shrewd salesman. He knew Jaguar had enough money to launch the XJ40 sedan in 1986, but not a lot more. He realized the company’s long-term future, therefore, lay in persuading one of the global auto giants to fund the ongoing R&D needed to improve the XJ40 and build a replacement for the aging XJ-S, as well as invest in the news that Jaguar would be returning to Le Mans in 1986 with a factory-backed team, and aiming for an outright win, delivered exactly the sort of image-building media coverage Egan wanted. Built and developed by Tom Walkinshaw’s TWR Racing Team, and painted in the distinctive purple, white, and yellow of the team sponsor, the Silk Cut Jaguar XJRs became ...
