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).

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

Matteo Valle The overarching theme among spring's 2025 nail trends is simplicity.

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...
