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...

Doechii and Tyla Teach Two Different Lessons In Sheer Dressing (W Magazine)

Gilbert Flores/Billboard/Getty Images According to Doechii and Tyla, there’s no one way to wear a naked dress. The Grammy winners hit the red carpet over the weekend in sheer looks that approached the art of transparent dressing quite differently. While Doechii went the vintage route for her dress (with a Carrie Bradshaw-approved accessory to match), Tyla stayed current in a see-through number straight from the most recent Paris runways. Doechii slipped into a vintage Donna Karan piece from fall 2014 to attend the Billboard Women in Music event. A daring hip-high slit was balanced by a touch of modesty thanks to the velour paneling throughout the bodice and skirt. Sheer dresses might seem like a fairly new phenomenon on the step and repeat,...

We may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article. If you’ve ever been jealous of Sydney Carlson’s ability to pilfer pieces from her older sister Devon Lee’s closet during a sleepover, the fashion world has listened to your desires. Specifically, Reformation tapped Devon Lee and her carefree Venice Beach energy for a collection of Y2Chaotic-lite fashion and of-the-moment accessories that are worthy of a close look (or payment plan). Devon Lee quickly went from phone-case purveyor to Balenciaga model with her easy California style mixed with hits from the early aughts. Her devil-may-care SoCal spirit is evident in the Reformation line, with polka-dot minis, suede skirts, farm-girl tops, and retro going-out tops that feel aligned with the inimitable style from 13 Going On 30....
