Photography by Getty Images Did someone say fairy godmother? By Annika Lautens Date January 11, 2023 Facebook Twitter To paraphrase Groucho Marx: behind every well-dressed man is a woman. Never has the statement read more true than at this year’s Golden Globes where the fashion for men was frivolous and fun. The slouchy suit worn by Tyler James Williams, winner of Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy/Drama Series? Chosen for him by stylist Ashley North. Seth Rogen’s pastel pink ensemble? The brainchild of sisters Wendi and Nicole Ferreira. Jeremy Pope’s...

By Ivy Tang Date January 13, 2023 Facebook Twitter Grab your cream-coloured cashmere, it’s officially #vanillagirl winter.

By Natalie Michie Date January 12, 2023 Facebook Twitter Prepare your eyes: And Just Like That… season 2 is currently being filmed on the streets of New York City, and it’s displaying its whimsical costuming chaos for all to see. Written and directed by Michael Patrick King, HBO’s buzzy Sex and the City reboot follows main characters Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) alongside new friends as they navigate life in their...

Photography by Getty Images Category is: bling. By Lauren Knowles Date January 11, 2023 Facebook Twitter The ultimate accessory to a shiny gold trophy (or flute of Champagne) is a perfectly polished manicure. Case in point? The bejewelled Golden Globes celeb nails we spotted on the award show’s 2023 red carpet. As the stars stepped out in Beverly Hills for an evening of glamour at the 80th edition of the Golden Globes, the Swarovski crystal-encrusted nails worn by Selena Gomez and diamond-flecked polish spotted on Margot Robbie captured the essence...

Photography by Getty Images By adopting shape-shifting aesthetics, experimental makeup and gender fluidity, D’Arcy is writing their own red carpet rules. By Natalie Michie Date January 11, 2023 Facebook Twitter This year’s Golden Globes made a few things abundantly clear: menswear has entered its Hot Girl era, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky still take the cutest couple pics, and most importantly, Emma D’Arcy is a subversive style icon in the making. At the January 10 event, D’Arcy (who identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns) was nominated for Best Television Actress...

Coloured photography by Getty Images and black and white photography courtesy of Imaxtree, collage by Leo Tapel In 2023, I'm ditching "desirability." By Natalie Michie Date January 10, 2023 Facebook Twitter Growing up in the 2000s, I received my fashion education almost exclusively from TLC’s hit show, What Not to Wear. Running from 2003 to 2013, the makeover series was hugely influential thanks to its always-chic, brutally blunt hosts: stylists Stacy London and Clinton Kelly. Each episode spotlighted one contestant — usually a woman — who had been submitted by...

Photography by Getty Images Here are the most show-stopping looks. By Jennifer Berry Date January 10, 2023 Facebook Twitter After a one-year hiatus, the Golden Globes were back in full swing on January 10. The who’s who of Hollywood gathered in Beverly Hills for the 80th edition of the Golden Globe awards and with a nominee list stacked with names like Margot Robbie, Anya Taylor-Joy and Michelle Yeoh, the Golden Globes 2023 red carpet did not disappoint. For its return to prime time television — and its first full red...

Photography by Getty Images Win the war against the season's ashy wrath. By Sumiko Wilson Date December 16, 2021 Facebook Twitter Winter and dry skin just go together. The pairing may be unpleasant, but it’s perennial. Kind of like Tom and Shiv on Succession or Fitz and Olivia on Scandal. As the enfant terrible of the skincare world, chilly weather tends to unearth issues that otherwise get literally glossed over by summer’s dew. By the time the first snow falls, there’s often a new emergence of cracked lips and skin...

Photography by Getty Images Bieber was recently labelled a "double nepo" by 'New York' Magazine. By Jennifer Berry Date January 9, 2023 Facebook Twitter Hailey Bieber is ready to reclaim the nepo baby conversation. The model, beauty brand founder and yes, daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin, knows her name is being thrown around in recent conversations about Hollywood “nepo babies,” a buzzy, backhanded label for the children of Hollywood elite who have pursued careers in the entertainment industry themselves, as evidenced by her recent choice of cropped t-shirt. Bieber, who...
