Dua Lipa’s Stage Style Is Red Hot (W Magazine)

@dualipa Dua Lipa is ready to return to the golden age of over-the-top lingerie, and not just for the boudoir. Currently on the Oceania leg of her Radical Optimism tour, Dua hit the stage in Auckland, New Zealand, last night in a look the lingerie world really hasn’t seen much of since the 1980s. Yet, thanks to some creative subversion, her look isn’t nearly as revealing as it may first seem. Dua’s Balenciaga fit, which she recycled from the first leg of her world tour, consisted of a sheer and embroidered negligee, long fishnet stockings, and a giant faux fur chinchilla coat. It’s pure vintage va-va-voom, yet Lipa isn’t nearly as exposed as she may seem. It’s a custom rework of a look Balenciaga...

WANT IN ON THE BALLET SNEAKER TREND? HERE ARE 13 TO TRY NOW (NYLON)

We may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article. When I was shopping this weekend, I noticed all the sneakers in the stores I hopped into were, for lack of a better word, deflated. They were mere suggestions of shoes, with incredibly thin soles and zero support. They also all had straps across them, around them, looking more and more like ballet shoes than regular lace-ups worn to the gym. The fashion pendulum has swung away from chunky sneakers (which we’ve documented before) but they’re hybridizing into a ballerina sneaker mix we also first saw on the runway at Miu Miu (where else?), then again in November from Onitsuka Tiger’s Patou collab, and now, we officially cannot ignore...

Top 5 Trendiest Clothing Brands, According to Lyst & How to Shop Them for Under $300 (teenVOGUE)

In fashion, we tend to focus on different styles every season, but the trendiest clothing brands can also shape the scene big time. Whether a brand is known for a niche aesthetic or a wardrobe staple that transcends subcultures, there are certain brands you just can’t miss, even without a noticeable logo. These days, familiarizing yourself with the trendiest clothing brands is easier than ever. Sure, you’ll still spot someone ultra stylish wearing them on the street or drive by a storefront. But now, you can also see people from all walks of life talking about how much they love a brand on social media. You can buy second-hand and vintage clothing from someone on the other side of the country or even the world. The cycle moves faster and has a...

Chanel Ties Paris Fashion Week Up With a Bow (ELLE)

LAUNCHMETRICS SPOTLIGHT Long before the “bow girl,” in all her coquettecore glory, became a fashion archetype, there was Chanel. This morning at Paris Fashion Week, the French house wrapped the Grand Palais in a massive black ribbon to celebrate one of its most beloved motifs. (One which dates back to the braid that was embroidered on many of Gabrielle Chanel’s early creations.) Carlo Scarpato//LAUNCHMETRICS SPOTLIGHT The installation was designed by Willo Perron, and the ribbon inspiration extended to the collection, created by the in-house Creation Studio (incoming artistic director Matthieu Blazy will present his first show in October). With Tyla, Raye, and Camila Cabello looking on, the show explored the many uses of the trope. Jacket collars and cuffs were decorated with bows, of both the real and trompe l’oeil variety....

8 Best Spring 2025 Nail Trends, According to An Expert (Cosmopolitan)

Matteo Valle The overarching theme among spring's 2025 nail trends is simplicity. Sure, we have a few unexpected pops of color and design elements (mismatched nail art, charms, we love you) but for the most part, things feel kinda minimal around here with a focus on nail health and simple nail designs rather than intricate art. “Overall, the vibe right now is all about soft, wearable, and effortlessly chic nails,” says nail artist Erica De Los Santos. “Whether you go for a clean sheer look or add a little texture and detail, it’s all about finding a style that feels polished but not overdone.” Take a look at the below trends to see for yourself. Everything from pastel shades (makes sense) to basically naked nails...

Experts Are Calling It: These 7 Perfume Trends Will Be Taking Over for Spring 2025 (Cosmopolitan)

Courtesy of Phlur / Arquiste We may earn commission from links on this page, but we only recommend products we love. Promise. Just like I swap the clothes in my clothes to match seasonal trends, I always edit my perfume collection to vibe with the time of year. Like, I couldn't possibly wear a heavy vanilla perfume when it's above 65 degrees, just as I wouldn't dare spritz on a bright citrus fragrance unless it's summer. Spring has its own scent rules and a whole new set of trends that dominate the season too. Sure, I could easily stick to the basics (fruity perfumes and sexy beachy notes, maybe), but experts say the coolest fragrances to douse yourself in right now aren't so obvious. We're moving...

EVERY OFF-DUTY OUTFIT DUA LIPA HAS WORN ON TOUR (NYLON)

Dua Lipa is back to her preferred routine: plane, concert, another plane, another country. She’s taking her third studio album, Radical Optimism, on the road, starting off in Australia and winding her way through Europe and North America come fall. Her stage looks are all custom, of course, including some fantastic Chanel, Balenciaga, and Jean Paul Gaultier, and while they’re all drool-worthy and fit her like a glove, we’re taking the microscope to her day ‘fits. The Chanel 25 handbag ambassador has rarely been spotted without the cargo-style purse these days, and when she’s not performing, she’s pulling fresh-off-the-runway looks from Fall/Winter 2025 to eat at local haunts, party at dive bars, and pull up to her merch pop-ups in Melbourne and Sydney. By our count, she’s already worn three outfits that hit...

TikTok Loves This Viral $42 Slick-Back Brush. Does It Live Up to the Hype? (W Magazine)

Image treatment by Ashley Peña We may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article. I’m not ashamed to admit that styling my hair is my least favorite part of getting ready. While I could happily sit and do my makeup for hours, my hair is a different story. I don’t have a hairstylist bone in my body, and especially when it comes to updos, my unruly, frizz-prone strands have me waving a white flag of surrender. But all of that changed when I started using the Emi Jay Mini Boar Bristle Brush. Is it dramatic to say that I’m a happier person having this boar-bristle hairbrush in my life? Yes. Is it true? Absolutely. I credit my...

Selena Gomez’s ‘Sunset Blvd’ Glam Is Inspired By a Cult-Classic ’80s Film (W Magazine)

YouTube Selena Gomez is taking inspiration from those cult classics. In a new video for her song “Sunset Blvd,” the singer and actor went full ’80s vixen in hair and makeup that nodded to Francis Ford Coppola’s 1982 film, One from the Heart. The vintage-inspired visual, directed by Petra Collins, begins with Gomez daydreaming about her fiancé Benny Blanco. Gomez changes between several looks in the video—black Victoria’s Secret lingerie, a cherry red look, and a white button-down—but maintains a singular beauty look throughout. She opted for a bold red lip and coiffed Hollywood curls. A classic red manicure completed the look. Like a true Hollywood starlet, she draped herself in tons of diamond bijoux. One specific moment in which Gomez sings adoringly to...
