You’ve got to give credit to Rihanna for her fashion versatility. She can look just as comfortable in daring barely-there sequins as she does in Dior Couture. But as much as we love her for her that, it’s her more demure looks that usually catch our eye. Divine and delicate, Rihanna rocked yet another different look in monochrome polka dots at the launch of her fragrance, Reb’l Fleur, at Macys in New York over the weekend. With her flaming red hair scooped up in a Mad Men-esque bouffant she looked ladylike and glamourous, but it was the intricately detailed Zuhair Murad dress that we loved the most. The black satin sash, the lace sleeves and the flamenco-style fold all made sure that RiRi’s style made a New York-suited statement. We wait with baited breath for her next fashion move, but in the meantime, what do you think of Rihanna’s look? Do you prefer her girly and glamorous or daring and dangerous? [poll id=”102″]

Read MoreRihanna’s super-short LBD
When we go shopping we’re usually in a pair of comfy Converse trainers and something that’s easy to whip on and off to avoid changing room stress. But Rihanna does things a little differently. Spotted in Westfield shopping centre in Sydney, Rihanna proved she’s a true pop diva and never has a day off from being totally fierce in this all black ensemble. Wearing her red hair poker straight, she showed off her toned legs in a mini shirt dress and a killer pair of Christian Louboutin courts – and Riri knows no celeb look is complete without a pair of Rayban Wayfarers. Her look may be high maintenance for a browse around the shops but that burly bodyguard beside her is probably there to carry her heels when she gets achey. Oh how the other half live… What do you think of Rihanna’s outfit? Daring or just far too diva? [poll id=”47″]

When big events such as the Brit Awards roll around, stars want to look their best. And instead of wearing any old dress, pop sensation Rihanna asked Giles Deacon to specially design her stage outfit – and of course, Giles accepted.
Read MoreRihanna asked to tone down her Brit Award performance
Last night, the 02 Arena in London played host to the 2011 annual Brit Awards ceremony with many a lyrical talent on stage, but one in particular was asked to tone down her raunchy set for the British public – yep, you guessed it… Rihanna! Her provocative S&M video has been under media scrutiny ever since it hit our TV screens, with Radio 1 refusing to play the song, being banned in 11 countries worldwide and now facing a lawsuit from American photographer David LaChapelle – talk about a global uproar, eh? Although Rihanna may have sugar coated some of her more risque lyrics for last night’s performance, she certainly wasn’t about to skimp on the outfit front, and dressed in a lace bodice with matching knickers and a flesh coloured body-suit underneath, the stunning pop star certainly brought back the sexual undertones to the song. On the red carpet however, Rihanna could be seen with few more clothes on, namely an eye popping Haute Couture Christian Dior gown, no less – complete with a purple floral bodice, mustard yellow waist sash and an enormous ruffled tulle lower half, the eccentric star proved she’s no stranger when it comes to a splash of vibrant colour. According to the Daily Mail, the Bajan beauty picked up the award for Best International Female Solo Artist on the night, handed by our very own Cheryl Cole, who seemed eager to meet her celebrity ‘girl crush’ in person. Take a look at Rihanna’s medley performance at the 2011 Brit Awards below… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EobjtO1_18

One fabulous frock to walk down the MTV Europe Music Award’s purple carpet on Sunday was a floor length Marchesa gown, and of course, it needed someone equally spectacular to wear it. There’s no denying it, the dress does look slightly wedding-ready on Rihanna, but that’s not to say the Barbadian beauty has anything of the sort on her mind. The overpowering cream ruffles and pearly white swirls may have been too much to handle for most, but not ol’ Rhianna – her flame red hair and feisty attitude allows her to pull off even the most daring of dresses. And the extravagant fish tail and accentuated one-shoulder detailing meant the singing soulstress looked truly elegant on the nigh t- heck, why does Madrid get all the fashionable fun, eh? Oh well, there’s always next year… Image
Read MoreGet the look: Rihanna in J Brand
Rihanna left her hotel in Beverly Hills earlier this month in these super cool J Brand Farrah denim shorts, once again proving she’s definitely one to watch on the style scene. We love her casual T-shirt and cut-offs combo, which is effortless yet still on-trend with the trilby hat adding a quirky and playful edge. Her oversized hoop earrings and long-length cross pendent offer a hint of glamour to an otherwise simple outfit, plus, her choice of brown brogues brings the look right on par with the ever-popular preppy look. Despite it being a little cold for bare legs nowadays (well, it is November), we’ve been inspired by Rihanna’s easy daytime-cool to recreate a casual look for a change, so here are our top picks for stealing the singer’s style… Reclaimed Denim Cut Off Shorts, £25, ASOS In a similar cut to the J Brand shorts, these reclaimed denim cut offs from ASOS are perfect for any season – wear with bare legs in the summer a la Rih Rih, or simply add opaques and a chunky-knit for winter. Just like Rihanna’s pair they’re an ideal high rise, and we love the light denim wash, too – ideal for dressing up or down. Truly Madly Deeply Night Horse Burnout Tunic, £22, available at Urban Outfitters This tunic by Truly Madly Deeply is dead-ringer for Rihanna’s T-shirt – not only does it bear the same black-on-white vintage-inspired design, it’s got the same slouchy neckline, too. Simply tuck it in to your denim shorts to re-create Rihanna’s look, and wear it over skinny jeans when you’re too tired to be a pop star. Knitted Slouchy Cardigan, £45, Topshop We all need knitwear in winter to keep us warm, and Topshop’s slouchy cardigan in a vibrant burnt-out burgundy is perfect for this look […]

Rihanna has posed topless for Italian Vogue. The ‘Umbrella’ singer has taken part in a raunchy photoshoot with famed fashion photographer Steven Klein for the magazine’s annual couture supplement. The Grace Jones-inspired cover of the special publication sees the star clad in a structural feathered Valentino gown and patent knee-high boots, throwing a bucket of water at the camera. Inside, the daring pictures see the ‘S.O.S.’ star clad in just skimpy pants, with glitter covering her chest. Other images show her in a Madonna-style conical bra, and another has her donning a sharp-shouldered jacket teemed with just lace knickers and suspenders and boots. The Barbados-born beauty’s hair also dazzles in the pictures, sculpted into a range of high quiffs and cones, teamed with dramatic dark eye make-up and deep red lips. Most of the pictures have been shot in black and white, with a lone colour photograph depicting her wearing a turquoise dress and boots.

Read MorePolls: Rihanna’s Hair Evolution
Celebs are known to chop and change their looks fairly often, and Rihanna is no exception. Since last year, the pop singer has debuted so many different hair styles, it’s been hard to keep up. What’s next, a shaved head? Starting off with wavy and voluminous long hair that gave Beyonce a run for her money, Rihanna effortlessly gave off a glam, sex kitten vibe. Then came the asymmetrical bob that quickly started a media frenzy and showed that Barbadian beauty was a risk taker and wanted to be different. Soon after, it was the Katie Holmes helmut bob which took shape. The “do” looked great framing her long and thin face, but it was unlike her to follow the crowd. Most recently, our hair chameleon shocked by opting for a barely there pixie cut with side swept bang… a look that only women with great cheekbones and stunning features, like herself, can pull off. I personally liked the asymmetrical shag best, it was fun, stylish and showed that the pop star was comfortable in her own skin. {democracy:17}

How These 7 Luxury Handbags Became Fashion Icons
There’s something magical about a luxury handbag. It’s not just an accessory—it’s a statement, a legacy, a piece of fashion history. Let’s be real: we all dream of owning at least one iconic bag that turns heads and never goes out of style. But what makes a handbag iconic? Why do some designs stand the test of time while others fade into the background? These seven handbags are more than just bags. They’ve become symbols—of elegance, power, and timeless style. Whether you’re a collector, a fashion lover, or just someone who appreciates a well-crafted piece, these bags have a story to tell. 1. The Hermès Birkin The Holy Grail of Handbags It’s 1984, and Jane Birkin, the British actress and style icon, is struggling with her straw bag on a flight from Paris to London. Fate intervenes when she’s seated next to Jean-Louis Dumas, the chief executive of Hermès. Little did they know, their conversation would birth a legend! The Birth of an Icon Inspired by Jane’s dilemma, Dumas sketched a design for a practical yet luxurious bag. And voilà! The Birkin was born. But what makes this bag so special? For starters, each Birkin is a masterpiece of handcrafted perfection. A single artisan meticulously creates each bag, investing up to 48 hours of skilled labor into every piece. This level of craftsmanship contributes to the bag’s exclusivity – you can’t just waltz into a store and buy one. In fact, there’s often a years-long waiting list for these coveted accessories! But the Birkin isn’t just a pretty face. It’s also known for its investment value. These bags have been known to appreciate in value over time, making them not just arm candy, but a savvy financial move too. Talk about fashion that pays off! The Birkin Effect The Birkin […]

The Old Money vs New Money Aesthetic Style Divide
There’s no better way to understand old money style vs new money style than by taking a look at the style icons who embody each aesthetic When you think of the old money aesthetic, certain names immediately come to mind right? Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Jackie Kennedy…these women weren’t just fashion icons; they were the embodiment of understated elegance. Their style was like a whisper in a world full of shouts – soft, subtle, but impossible to ignore. Grace Kelly, with her timeless sophistication, could make a simple white shirt and pencil skirt look like a million bucks. Audrey Hepburn’s little black dress in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” became the gold standard for chic simplicity. And who could forget Jackie Kennedy’s pillbox hats and tailored suits? These women didn’t need flashy logos or over-the-top accessories to make a statement. Their style was all about quality over quantity, refinement over ostentation. More present day old money style icons include Sofia Richie and Kate Middleton. The Bold and Beautiful New Money Style Now, let’s zip forward to the present day. You’re scrolling through Instagram, and BAM! You’re hit with a riot of colors, designer logos, and jaw-dropping bling. Welcome to the world of new money style! New Money style icons are a whole different breed. Some examples of new money style icons are, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Rihanna and Beyoncé.

They’re the trendsetters, the rule-breakers, the ones who make us go, “I can’t believe she wore that… but wow, she looks amazing!” Kim Kardashian turned bodycon dresses and contouring into an art form. Kylie Jenner can make a simple Instagram post cause a lipstick to sell out in minutes. Rihanna’s bold fashion choices on the red carpet leave us all in awe. And […]

Coco Chanel If there’s one iconic fashion designer who’s influenced the industry more than any other, it’s definitely Coco Chanel.

And today, more than 50 years after her passing, her influence is still felt. Coco Chanel’s early life wasn’t an easy one, marked by tragedy and hardship. Her mother passed away when she was young, and she and her siblings had to be raised at an orphanage. Despite everything, Chanel was determined to make a name for herself in the world. Her designs stood out from the crowd, effortless and refined. She transformed fabrics that were traditionally associated with men’s clothing, like tweed and jersey, into chic, comfy pieces for women.

10 Icons Who Redefined Style & Fashion Over The Past Decade
Fashion is often described as a cycle: every generation draws on aesthetic inspiration from past generations. Cowboy boots are in again, but not as they were in the 80s and not how they will be in the 2040s. But there are always icons that completely turn the fashion world on its head. 10 Fashion Icons That Redefined Fashion in the 2020s A fashion icon is someone who creates a cultural conversation and captures our imaginations for years to come. Here are 10 icons that fit that description now and, likely, in the future. 1. Lil Nas X Rap and Hip Hop artists have long been at the forefront of fashion but are rarely praised for it. You can’t ignore Lil Nas X’s fashion moments. His pink cowboy Versace look at the Grammy Awards was stunning, but the confidence he brings with his outfits cements his icon status. 2. Britney Spears The princess of pop and fashion icon Britney Spears continues to inspire modern trends to this day. With Gen Z bringing back the Y2K trend, we’re starting to see Spears-inspired outfits and accessories, like denim on denim, low-rise jeans, matching workout wear, and pigtails again. 3. Rihanna Rihanna is a trendsetter in her own right for popularizing baggy jeans and crop tops, but her power as an icon goes well beyond that. Her Met Gala outfits are a sight to behold, especially the golden ensemble made by Guo Pei, which took 50,000 hours, or two years, to make. 4. Harry Styles Harry Styles broke the internet and the gender binary when he wore the Harris Reed dress in Vogue magazine. Styles is often seen wearing a mix of masculine and feminine silhouettes, including Victorian-era blouses with slacks and Peter Pan collars with pearl necklaces. 5. Victoria Beckham It would be […]

The Rise of the Small Handbag
Far from the concept of ‘less is more’, the ’00s saw handbags that were big enough to fit everything including the kitchen sink. However, over the last couple of years, handbags have been shrinking and the micro bag trend has well and truly taken off. Here are some of the reasons why the small handbag has overtaken oversized bags in popularity. Essentials Only When big handbags were trendy, there was no need to whittle down what you wanted to take out with you. In fact, you could pretty much pack everything in that you’d possibly ever need…that isn’t necessarily a good thing. An overcrowded bag often means more time spent rummaging for what you actually need, leading to embarrassment in shops when you can find everything but your purse. A big bag also means it’s heavier to carry around with you all day, leading to shoulder pain or arm ache. Having a bigger bag also means you’re much more likely to end up carrying other people’s stuff – whether it’s your partner’s wallet, your kid’s toy or your friend’s sunglasses, your handbag will soon become the dumping ground for anything that anyone else doesn’t want to carry. The rise of the micro bag, on the other hand, means you have to be ruthless about what you pack. In most cases, mini handbags will only fit the bare necessities, such as your card, phone, keys and lipstick at the absolute most. This means you’ll always be able to find what you need and you’re not weighed down by unnecessary baggage. It also makes it easy to say “no” when someone asks if they can pop something in it! Loved by Celebrities Small handbags are much-loved by celebs from Rihanna to Dua Lipa. The micro bag is having a big moment in […]

Hailey Bieber Loves Leather And We Do Too. Gorgeous Leather Jackets And More On Sale Now!
As far as style icons go, Hailey Bieber is fast becoming one of our favourites (shhh don’t tell RiRi). She loves to experiment, rarely gets it wrong, and gives us sooo much inspo. With leather being huge last year (it looks set to be a biggie this year too) we’ve loved how she’s championed the trend so tastefully. ‘Cause let’s be real, leather can be a hard one to pull off and only a select few can look good in leather-on-leather. How to wear leather? Oversized leather jackets paired with jeans, a leather skirt teamed with a print blouse and chunky jewellery or leather leggings contrasted with a hoodie or a t-shirt and blazer,….now those outfit combos work really well. While we tend to only think of wearing leather in the winter, there’s no reason why leather can’t be worn all-year-round. Just take a look at how loved the biker jacket was on the spring/summer 2021 catwalks, and leather shorts in summer with a stunning top and sexy heels? Well, that’s just gorgeous. Now, leather can be a tad pricey, so with the sales in full swing, there’s no better time like the present to snag a bargain or two. Here’s our edit of some of the best leather jackets and more fab leather pieces on sale now.

How Athleisure Has Taken The Fashion Industry By Storm
Winter is creeping up on us fast. Soon we will blink and it will be Christmas. With most of us stuck inside, and the weather getting colder, there is nothing better than putting on a nice pair of ‘trackies’ to snuggle up on the couch. Of course, traditionally tracksuits, yoga pants, sports bras and the like are traditionally known for their use for exercising. Nowadays, more people are shopping for comfort and fit, and so are turning to athleisure for their daily clothes. With this trend has come a massive development in the styles and designs of athleisure wear, and even a design challenge on Project Runway dedicated to it! If its good enough for Heidi Klum and Karlie Kloss then its good enough for us. What is ‘athleisure wear’? Athleisure is simply the combination of ‘athletic’ and ‘leisure’. In other words, it is fashionable athletic wear that can be worn day to day. Athleisure wear includes sweatpants, hoodies, gym tanks, tracksuits for women and men, sports bras, trainers, and much more. It’s true that the demand for athleisure has soared in the age of COVID-19, with more and more people flocking to online stores to secure the latest and greatest in stylish, comfortable clothes. With nowhere to go but the kitchen, front room, bathroom or bedroom, what else would you wear except the likes of stretchy trousers and a cosy jumper? What makes it fashionable? Athleisure bridges the gap between functional active wear, and fashionable clothes made to fit well and be comfortable. And, lets be honest, who doesn’t want to be able to wear the trendiest and most comfortable clothes? As it is based on active wear, it is often wrinkle-free, stretchy, odour resistant, and more durable. And as more people turn to athleisure for their casual social […]

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Is Super Cool In BCBGMaxAzria
We think we can say pretty safely that Rosie Huntington-Whiteley gets it right every time when it comes to her style. Her outfit yesterday while out in L.A was no exception. Really, it wasn’t. Now the truth is, this BCBGMAXAZRIA pinstripe trench coat with matching wide-leg trousers could have gone horribly wrong. And on pretty much anyone else (Rihanna excluded) it probably would have been. But the model pulled it off to perfection. Accessorising with sunnies, a brown clutch and a cup of coffee, Rosie looked fantastic. This is definitely a spring vibe we’ll be channelling. If you love her outfit as much as we do, you’re in luck. It’s available online over at the BCBGMaxAzria website. Click here to purchase the trench and here for the trousers. [Image]

Making History: Beyoncé On The Cover Of Vogue’s September Issue
It’s the moment we’ve been waiting for ever since Vogue announced Beyoncé would be the cover star of it’s much-anticipated September issue. Here are the images of Queen Bey, as shot by 23-year-old photographer Tyler Mitchell. Yes, you read correctly, he’s just 23, but most importantly Mitchell is the first African-American photographer to shoot Vogue’s cover in its 126-year history, making this a very historic moment. As part of the feature, we’re treated to two cover shots as well as various images of Beyoncé taken in a country home on the outskirts of London. The first cover shot sees the mum-of-three seated wearing a floral headpiece and a Gucci dress and in the other she opts for a belted stunning strapless gown (the latter possibly being our favourite). Taking a minimalist approach, gone is the high-glam we know and love Beyoncé for and in its place is a barely-there look, which was in fact intentional. In an as-told-to interview by journalist Clover Hope which accompanies the editorial, the singer said, “I think it’s important for women and men to see and appreciate the beauty in their natural bodies. That’s why I stripped away the wigs and hair extensions and used little makeup for this shoot.” And what’s it like working with one of the most famous women in the world? Speaking to Vogue, Mitchell said, “When she sat down for me there was immediately the kind of comfort level you’d have with a friend, which was quite unexpected.” He continues, “You’d imagine someone as famous as Beyoncé to be protective of her image, but she was really an open book—and that’s exactly what you want as a photographer.

Rocking The Glam Goth Style
The Gothic outfits people are wearing nowadays are quite different from the ones worn in the past. Back in the ‘70s people were looking like vampires when they rocked this style, but now they look like having a unique fashion sense. Nowadays it is something normal people to prefer black, when it comes to clothing articles. The glam gothic style is a little different from the traditional gothic one, because it combines two different styles, the gothic and the glamorous one. People who prefer this style include in their outfits bright colours not only dark hues, and they even combine gothic elements with androgynous ones. The main fashion icons of this style are Marilyn Manson and Dita Von Teese. But they are not the only ones who inspired people to try this style, other celebrities also preferred to sport unique outfits. Dita Von Teese It is important to start with Dita Von Teese, because she is the fashion icon women around the world still admire, and she is the source of inspiration for millions of women. She is famous for her black curled hair. However the curls are not traditional ones but glam curls, that combined with red lipstick and gothic outfits help her impress everyone wherever she goes. She was and she still is considered one of the sexiest women on Earth, and we think that many years from how she will be seen like one of the most beautiful women of the world, because she seems to not get old, as the years pass. Her glam curls are her trademark, but it does not mean that you cannot achieve the same look. You only need a little practice, quality GHD curlers and some hairspray. Angelina Jolie Angie is also considered one of the most beautiful women on the […]

Valentino Closes Paris Couture Week AW18 With An Explosion Of Colour
We love Couture Week for it’s fantasy and escapism, of which there was no shortage at Valentino. Closing 5 days of unapologetic decadence, to say Valentino’s collection is absolutely stunning is literally an understatement. Complete with bold, colourful, extravagant gowns that would look right at home on Rihanna at the Met Gala, Valentino’s presentation featured 63 looks designed by creative director Pierpalo Piccioli. Hair was as big as it could be (as seen on Kaia Gerber), while extravagant floral headwear brought an added dimension of exceptional beauty to the collection. Inspired by an eclectic mix of Ziggy Stardust, Greek mythology, Pasolini films, 17th and 18th century paintings, medieval armor and photographs of Deborah Turbeville, the presentation was received warmly with a standing ovation and even Valentino himself shed a tear or two. Awww….. [Images]

It’s the event every fashionista has been waiting for. The annual Met Gala took place last night at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the majority of celebs in attendance didn’t disappoint. Hosted by Rihanna, Donatella Versace, Amal Clooney and Anna Wintour, the theme of the evening was “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination.” While as per usual, some starlets copped out by playing it safe in a standard gown that would have been at home at any red-carpet, to the delight of us here at MFL, others such as Rihanna (whom never lets us down), Sarah Jessica Parker, Blake Lively, Zendaya and many more put in 150%. Here’s our top 20 best dressed at the Met Gala 2018!

Amal Clooney Graces The Cover Of Vogue For The First Time
We’ve been just a little obsessed with Amal Clooney of late. She’s stunning, smart and knows how to throw together an envy-inducing workwear outfit. So you can imagine how pleased we were to find the lawyer, humanitarian and mother-of-two on the cover of Vogue’s May edition. Shot by Annie Leibovitz, Amal spoke to the fashion bible about everything from gun control to her hubby George Clooney. She didn’t shy away from offering her opinion on the #MeToo movement either, on which she said, “I think because of the brave women who have come forward to tell their stories, the future workplace will be safer for my daughter than it was for people of my generation.” She continued, “we’re in a situation where a predator feels less safe and a professional woman feels more safe, and that’s where we need to be.” The cover coincides with Amal’s gig at the Met Gala next month at which she’ll share co-hosting duties along with Donatella Versace and Rihanna.

Dresses Over Trousers: Yay Or Nay?
Promising to be a major player during this transitional period from spring to summer and loved by international streetstyle stars everywhere, dresses over trousers for us, is a big fat “nay”. Sadly, not all of us possess the ability to pull off all of the weird and wonderful trends that emerge every season – a super power reserved for the stylish elite that walk among us such as Rihanna, Caroline Issa and Susie Bubble. And while there was a time when we could just about get away with skirts over jeans, the sad truth is, now we’re unable to wear neither skirts or dresses over trousers without looking like a right mess. We’ve tried glam long gowns complemented with jeans, to short floral spring dresses worn over cigarette pants, with no luck whatsoever. And so, with a heavy heart we admit defeat. Dresses worn over trousers is simply not for us. That, doesn’t mean however that we can’t appreciate the beauty of the trend when executed properly. Here’s some of our fave looks… [Image 1, Image 2, Image 3 & 4, Image 4 & 5]

Finding The Right Glasses For Your Face
Shopping for clothes is tough, shopping for glasses is tougher. This is because our faces are the most unique parts of us. Think about how many other people you know who are the same height or body type as you, or have the same foot size. We choose the length of leg or width of waist when buying jeans, and shoes come in helpful sizes and even half sizes. So why then is it so much harder with glasses and sunglasses? Why are there no sizes or precise criteria for us to follow? And it’s worse, because glasses can either work with our features or against them in a way clothes usually don’t. And the stakes are even higher with glasses — especially if you wear them every day. Well this guide looks to demystify glasses and how to choose the right pair for your face shape and size. It’s been written with the help and insight of Red Hot Sunglasses, who are experts in all things glasses and sunglasses. Face size First of all, it’s important to work out whether or not you have a large face or a small face. This can be trickier than it sounds as it can be arbitrary as to what constitutes a small or large face, and especially hard if you think you might actually be somewhere in the middle. Small face If you don’t know if you have a small face, compare yourself to these celebrities: Women: Kristen Stewart, Sarah Hyland, Reece Witherspoon Men: Colin Farrell, Jude Law, Leonardo DiCaprio If your face is small and you’re a woman, then the best advice is to opt for large or oversized glasses and sunglasses as the big, chunkier frames will actually emphasise your more feminine, softer features. Other great styles include cat eye […]

Wrap Up Warm In A Duvet Reminiscent Puffer Jacket
We’re not quite sure when it happened, but at some point the weather went from zero to hundred real quick. We’ll give it to summer, it hung on for dear life, for as long as it could. And then all of a sudden the temperature dropped and we’re now left wondering, where autumn went to? Rather than enjoying cool autumnal breezes, it feels like we’re in the early stages of winter. And whereas usually when we’d use this time of year to show off our transitional outerwear, e.g blazers and oversized cardis, we’re now seriously considering busting out the heavy duty puffer jacket. Not that we’re complaining too much – being one of this season’s major staples, the puffer jacket has had a lovely makeover and it’s bigger and better than ever. As seen on the AW16 catwalks oversized puffer jackets were the norm…and there’s only one way to wear it – slightly off the shoulder as seen at Balenciaga and more recently on RiRi during Paris Fashion Week. Impractical? Yes. Sexy? Hell yes! And therein lies one of this season’s biggest fashion dilemmas – how to wear the puffer jacket while still remaining impeccably cool and collected as we navigate through our daily lives of commuting and school runs?! But hey, it’s “fashun”, we’ll work it out… In the meantime here are some slightly less oversized puffer jackets that’ll make braving the wintry winds, pure pleasure. RAF SIMONS oversize down jacket available at FarFetch.com Moncler Sotiria down jacket available at mytheresa.com Monki Oversized Padded Jacket With Fur Collar available at ASOS.com Satin Puffer Jacket available at Topshop.com Puffa Oversized Padded Jacket In Angular Camo available at ASOS.com

Best Dressed At The MTV VMA’s 2016: Beyonce, Hailey Baldwin, Heidi Klum & More
Yesterday stars of the music, fashion and film world gathered to celebrate all that music has had to offer visually over the past year at the annual MTV VMA Awards, and boy was it a night to remember… From Drake professing his long term love for Rihanna, the debut of Kanye’s latest video which was of course accompanied by an infamous Yeezy rant, to Beyonce’s statement red carpet entrance with the mothers of four unarmed black men killed in the U.S along with her date for the night, Blue Ivy. Yep, there were definitely too many memorable moments to mention… …. and while the red carpet wasn’t the best in VMA history, there were certainly a number of starlets who looked nothing short of fabulous. See below for our top 10 best celebrity dressed at the MTV VMA’s 2016. Holland Roden wearing KAYAT Hailey Baldwin wearing George Chakra Beyonce wearing Francesco Scognamiglio and Blue Ivy wearing Mischa Aoki Heidi Klum wearing Roberto Cavalli Ashley Graham wearing Naeem KhanJoan Smalls wearing Off-White Kim Kardashian Naomi Campbell wearing Brandon Maxwell Nicki Minaj wearing Bao Tranchi Tinashe wearing Juan Carlos Obando

Denim Thigh-High Boots: Are You Loving Or Loathing It?
While currently touring in the U.K, RiRi took some time out to let her hair down in London, wearing a pair of denim chaps from her Rihanna x Manolo Blahnik collection…a look we’re positively sure only the bad gal could pull off. And, on the other side of the pond, Kim opted to go semi-casual over the weekend on a family outing to the movies, in an oversized white shirt and thigh-high YEEZY season 2 distressed denim boots. Both very different looks but the message is clear – denim boots are a micro-trend. Yes, despite the fact that it’s summer. While we definitely can’t see ourselves wearing jean chaps on a night out, admittedly they’re more appealing than the YEEZY Season 2 option (of which we’d much rather prefer the knitted version), but we have no doubt we’ll be seeing a lot more of denim boots, both ankle and thigh-high in the very near future. …so what say you ladies? Love or loathe?

Caitlyn Jenner’s Collaborating With MAC Cosmetics
Just as we were about to complete an upcoming post titled “5 of our fave MAC lipsticks”, news came in of an upcoming collaboration between the cosmetics brand and none other than Caitlyn Jenner. The 66 year old has officially revealed her latest campaign with MAC which involves a brand new shade of lippy (of which all proceeds from the sales will go to the MAC AIDS Fund Transgender Initiative) and we must say Cait, looks stunning. Wearing the rosy lipstick which is named Finally Free and champions, ‘All Ages, All Races and All Sexes’ the reality star explained the choice of name, “I wanted a name that I use, and which represents the community. This is who I am: Finally Free. “No more secrets. I’m free. I woke up the other morning, and I was just happy. Getting dressed, going out, I’m accepted in the world; people are nice. Life is good. I’m Finally Free. That’s why I’m glad I was named Barbara Walters’ Most Fascinating Person last year, because this year I have no more secrets. I’m going to be very boring!” Set to be released on April 7th in stores and online, Caitlyn joins a squad of fierce females (Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj) who’ve also released their own lipstick with MAC. We can’t wait to try it out.. [Source]

Fashionista Fun: Dressing Like Your Favourite Celebrity
Many celebrities are well-known style gurus who can’t help but launch new fashion trends. Because celebs frequently jet-set around the world, they’re able to pick up on up-and-coming fashion trends in fashionable places like Milan, Paris, or even the streets of Harajuku in Japan. If you enjoy keeping up with the hottest styles, be sure to check out what some of your favourite celebrities are wearing. Superga Italian shoes have long been revered for their high quality and effortless style, but the latest shoe craze to come out of Italy isn’t high heels or leather loafers–it’s Superga sneakers. European uber-fashionistas are sporting Superga sneakers and celebs like Jennifer Aniston and Katie Holmes. Over-the-Knee Boots If you are sporting a mini dress or skirt, consider ramping up the wow factor of your outfit sleek and colorful over-the-knee boots. Celebrity Katharine McPhee recently wore a pair of wine-colored boots with her gray-knit mini dress and the result was jaw-dropping chic. Jennifer Lawrence was also seen departing a car in a pair of over-the-knee black boots. Camel Color Gigi Hadid is a major fashionista these days. She’s been wearing camel, a rich and elegant shade that is perfect for autumn sweaters and wraps. The warm brown and spicy tones of camel clothing are a nice change of pace for ladies who find themselves gravitating toward neutral shades. Off-the-Shoulder Dresses Maybe it’s easier for Angelina Jolie to look like a classic Grecian goddess when wearing an off-the-shoulder gown or dress, but there’s something incredibly timeless about this fashion. One of the reasons that Angelina makes this style work is that she only bares that single shoulder; the rest, she leaves covered up to add to her mystery. Military Coats Military-style jackets and coats have been in and out of the fashion pages over the […]

Our 10 Best Dressed at the Met Gala 2015
Anyone else disappointed with the red carpet at this year’s Met Gala? We’re not sure if we just had really high expectations but we can’t say we were floored by any of the outfits. Celebrating the start of the exhibition which runs from 7th May to 16th August, and showcases the work of 40 designers inspired by Chinese culture and art, the theme was China: Through the Looking Glass. In theory, with the prospect of East meeting West, this should have been a great opportunity for the celebs to go all out with the fun and drama. But, sadly no. The majority played it safe or nude. As we’ve seen in previous years, there’s a fine line between fashion forward and tacky, and this year while their bodies were to die for, Beyoncé and JLo pretty much pushed the sheer envelope way beyond the line. Kim K on the other hand managed to get it just right in Peter Dundas’ first creation for Roberto Cavalli while Rihanna was effortlessly on theme in a stunning handmade gown (which took 2 years to make) by Guo Pei. At this point, we’d like to draw your attention to someone who in our opinion is a major style icon in the making – Zendaya. The young starlet was absolutely flawless in Fausto Puglisi and we predict big things to come from the gorgeous actress and singer. On that note, here’s our 10 best dressed Xin Lei in Alexander McQueenRosie Huntington-Whiteley in VersaceRihanna in Guo Pei Poppy Delevingne in Marchesa Kim Kardashian in Roberto Cavalli Kendall Jenner in Calvin Klein Kate Hudson in Michael Kors Karolina Kurkova in custom Tommy Hilfiger Jessica Hart in Valentino Zendaya in Fausto Puglisi

Our 10 best dressed at the 2015 Grammy Awards
This year’s Grammys were eventful to say the least but not even Kanye could steal the spotlight from the ladies that ruled the red carpet. The biggest trend without a shadow of a doubt was a heavy dose of bling, glam and figure hugging dresses, but thankfully there were those who broke the rules and thought outside of the box. Naturally Rihanna rebelled and we’re so glad she did! Love or hate her outfit at least she gave us something different! Here’s our 10 best dressed celebs… Wearing one of our fave couture looks this season courtesy of Giambattista Valli, Rihanna was a delight in this show-stopping, pink strapless gown. Cue all the “cupcake” jokes….. Always one of our red carpet favourites, Chrissy Teigen failed to disappoint in this perfect white floor-length gown by Emilio Pucci. Gwyneth Paltrow showed off her gorgeous long legs in this Saint Laurent sparkly number paired with beautiful stilettos. Custom made by Proenza Schouler, Beyoncé opted for a plunging v-neck gown to accentuate her bootylicious curves. Katharine McPhee’s first Grammy red carpet saw the singer looking lovely and demure in an Emilio Pucci coral cut-out evening gown with silver hardware. Deciding not to opt for a traditional dress, Gwen Stefani as usual was on trend in this edgy Atelier Versace strapless jumpsuit with netting detail. Yes, yes and yes! Elie Saab is to thank for this ADORABLE combination of evening gown meets party dress complimented perfectly with Giuseppe Zanotti heels and modelled to perfection on Taylor Swift. Rocking none other than Tom Ford, Nicki Minaj was nothing short of stunning. Classic, understated and absolutely gorge. We’ve been loving Versace’s red carpet gowns of late and this beauty on Ariana Grande is no exception. With chainmail detail and cut-outs in all the right place, Ariana gets a thumbs up […]
