6 days ago | elle.com | Abigail Southan

Think of Poppy Delevingne and it’s hard not to conjure up images of the London glitterati that reigned supreme in the late-2000s. So, today, when the model and actor dropped her first collection with British brand Nobody’s Child, we felt a real pang of nostalgia.

Sono passati quasi dieci anni da quando Castaner ha rilanciato le espadrillas con la zeppa. Nel 2015, questa scarpa era stata relegata in fondo al guardaroba femminile, trascurata a favore di modelli più elaborati di sandali alla schiava o di robusti tacchi quadrati. Le espadrillas Castaner esistono dal 1927 e nella loro versione flat sono state indossate da icone come Salvador Dalì e Marilyn Monroe.

Shapewear has entered a new era in 2025. Newgen shaping solutions are more effective and comfortable than ever. And for mid-size women like me, this has opened up a whole world of options I never thought viable before. For something that was once seen as restrictive, it's incredible how empowering this underwear can be.

There aren’t many curly haired heroines out there in popular culture. Especially not in 2025 where overly facetuned features prevail and the only waves comes courtesy of a hot iron. And even those are manufactured – smooth, perfectly formed and evenly spaced throughout. One of the most memorable curly haired girls in history has to be SJP's Carrie Bradshaw.

It’s been the better part of a decade since Castaner successfully sparked the espadrille wedge’s renaissance. In 2015, this shoe had been relegated to the back of women’s wardrobes—bypassed in favor of fussier gladiator styles or sturdy block heels.

Spring's best slip dresses, according to the Bazaar fashion team

4 weeks ago | ca.style.yahoo.com | Abigail Southan |Roberta Schroeder

The slip dress is one of the few items that's managed to achieve staple status in recent years. The mark of a true capsule piece is not just in its timeless appeal, but the ability to be dressed up and down effortlessly. Versatility is everything. Back in the Nineties, when designers like Calvin Klein and Narciso Rodriguez introduced us to this 'underwear-as-outerwear' trend, it was seen as a risqué evening look – and most definitely not daywear.

The latter combo is one Hadid has worn before in a 2017 Nike Cortez campaign – an ode to Farrah Fawcett in that famous 1974 Charlie’s Angels skateboard scene.
