Nathalie Emmanuel made a surprise appearance at the 77th Venice Film Festival on Sunday, 6 September wearing a sweet purple co-ordinated set alongside her equally stylish actor boyfriend Alex Lanipekun.

Netflix’s New ’90s Fashion Documentary Is Required Viewing for Every True Fashion-Lover
Image: Getty Before watching The Remix: Hip Hop x Fashion, I didn’t realise the extent to which Black culture shapes the fashion industry. I knew about logomania and Lil’ Kim’s purple pasty outfit from the VMAs in 1999 — but I didn’t understand how stylists Misa Hylton and Dapper Dan created a ’90s subculture now used by the likes of Kylie Jenner, Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B, and countless luxury brands to represent what is hot, young, and cool. The Remix: Hip Hop x Fashion introduces us to some of the women behind hip-hop’s most influential style moments. Historians, stylists, designers, publishers, and editors from the US, London, and Milan explore how the ’90s “ghetto fabulous” aesthetic continues to transform contemporary culture —...
The Untold Fashion Story of Lil’ Kim’s Purple Pastie Jumpsuit From the 1999 MTV VMAs
When Lil’ Kim walked onto the MTV Music Video Awards red carpet in 1999, she had no idea that her iconic purple jumpsuit would cause even Diana Ross to absolutely lose it. When the two divas announced the VMA for best hip-hop video alongside Mary J. Blige, Ross just couldn’t resist jiggling Kim’s exposed breast that was covered by a single lilac seashell-shaped pastie over her nipple. If you’ve ever wondered what went into creating one of the most era-defining fashion moments of the ’90s, we spoke with Lil’ Kim’s stylist, Misa Hylton, who shared all the details ahead. “I had no idea that Diana Ross was going to fondle her. That was a nerve-wracking moment,” said Hylton to POPSUGAR. Neither did Kim, who opened up about the incident in a ...

Victoria Beckham Shows Us that Shorts Can Look Incredibly Smart at Any Age
The UK’s second royal family — the Beckhams — took a much needed summer holiday to Greece (which is still open to UK tourists). David and Victoria Beckham spent some quality time with their parents enjoying the Mediterranean views and modelling their own takes on resortwear — which, of course, meant a surprisingly smart outfit from VB in a crisp pair of white shorts. We love that no matter where Victoria goes, she combines the occasion with her own personal style and creates a look that’s uniquely on brand. The designer, mum, and Spice Girl complemented the Greek skyline of light blue, crisp white, and earthy brown with a preppy Oxford long-sleeved, very short shorts, and a thick square-buckle belt. If you’re anything like us, then wearing short shorts can be quite intimi...
5 Handbag Styles That Defined 2020 and Are Worth Investing in This Autumn
This year is teaching fashion to slow down, and it’s about time. Where every season we look forward to pretty new bags and accessories, we are starting to shift our focus to lasting pieces that transcend the seasonal turnover of trends. As the autumn and winter months approach, we’re taking a closer look at the handbag silhouettes that defined this year in style — and if you’re planning a purchase, then these are the pieces worth the investment. Handbags, like shoe trends, usually begin from the bottom up. A pioneering independent designer creates a piece that speaks to the zeitgeist — like By Far’s ’90s-inspired Rachel baguette shoulder bag — and because of fashion’s loose copyright laws, that sell-out design inspires high-fashion houses and is then dup...

The Untold Fashion Story of Elizabeth Hurley’s Versace Safety Pin Dress
