Demi Lovato Got Married in Vivienne Westwood—And No, She Didn’t Copy Miley’s Wedding Dress
Demi Lovato has officially entered her bridal era—and spoiler alert: she ate. The former Disney Channel star, powerhouse vocalist, and forever internet legend (Poot still lives rent-free) said “I do” to Canadian singer Jordan “Jutes” Lutes on May 25, 2025, and honestly? We’ve never seen her look this at peace. Or this stunning. The Dress, The Vivienne of It All For the Santa Barbara ceremony, Demi walked down the aisle in a pearl white Vivienne Westwood gown that looked like it was custom-made for a romantic daydream. (Spoiler: it was.) Speaking to Vogue, Demi said she kept circling back to Vivienne’s work for one major reason—corsets. “The silhouettes really compliment the curves in your body,” she explained. Translation: structured, snatched, and serving. But here’s where things get extra interesting (and just a touch nostalgic): eagle-eyed fans noticed the gown bears a striking resemblance to Miley Cyrus’s 2018 wedding dress. Yes, that Miley. Yes, that wedding. Yes, also Westwood. Both gowns feature off-the-shoulder necklines and that ethereal “I’m not a princess, but I’m not not a princess” energy. Were they the same dress? No. But were they distant Disney cousins in bridal couture? Absolutely. A little shared sartorial DNA between Disney alums never hurt anybody. From “Holy Fvck” to Holy Matrimony Demi and Jutes’ relationship has been pure “slow burn to soulmate.” The two met while working on Demi’s 2022 album Holy Fvck and made their romance Instagram official not long after. By December 2023, Jutes was down on one knee in what Demi described as a “personal and intimate” proposal. (Cue the crying.) In her engagement post, Demi went full softie, writing: “I’m still speechless 🥹… I can’t believe I get to marry the love of my life… every day I’ve spent with you has been a dream come true.” We’re not crying. You’re crying. Shut up. The Ceremony: Joy, Tears, and Just a Little Gossip According to sources with very soothing voices and first-name-only credits in PEOPLE, Demi was beaming throughout the intimate ceremony, with a few teary-eyed moments in between. “She’s never been happier,” one insider shared. And honestly? We believe it. After years of public highs, lows, and healing, it’s beautiful to see Demi get her fairy tale—on her terms, in her dress, with her person. Who would’ve thought? From the Camp Rock days to real-life rock-solid romance. It’s a full-circle moment for the girl who once sang “This Is Me” with a trembling lip and a flat iron in her bangs. And now? This is her—confident, radiant, and married in Vivienne Westwood couture. You can see the photos Vogue shared of Demi Lovato’s wedding below:
SJP Spills the Tea: Was Carrie & Big’s Love Story Actually Toxic?
At this point, Carrie Bradshaw is basically the patron saint of chaotic love lives. She’s been floating in and out of pop culture for decades—from the early aughts Sex and the City glory days to the movie sequels we pretend didn’t happen to the reboot And Just Like That…, where she’s still serving looks and confusion in equal parts. And while we’ve all moved on to streaming services and therapy, Carrie? She’s still out here debating whether she should’ve ended up with Big or Aidan—as if the answer isn’t clearly “neither.” Everyone’s Got a Take (Including SJP Herself) Are you Team Big, Team Aidan, or a rare Team Berger truther with a flair for chaos and Post-it note trauma? Either way, you’re not alone. Even Sarah Jessica Parker—yes, actual Carrie—has officially weighed in, and let’s just say… she gets the criticism. Speaking to E! News ahead of the And Just Like That… Season 3 premiere (May 29), SJP admitted she totally understands why fans side-eye Carrie’s relationship with Mr. Big. And honestly? Thank God. Because we’ve been screaming “RED FLAG!” since the Clinton administration. What Did She Actually Say? SJP called it like she saw it: a big ol’ beautifully chaotic mess. “It was romantic, and it was a disaster. It was destructive, and it was healthy,” she said. Which, sure, sounds poetic—but is also what people say right before texting their ex at 2 a.m. with “u up?” Still, she didn’t dismiss the relationship as all bad. According to her, the Carrie-Big love story was layered. “All of it was a mess, and all of it was wonderful.” A line that feels suspiciously like something Carrie would write in one of her columns before lighting a cigarette and ghosting therapy. And About Big’s Death… If you forgot (or blacked it out for emotional safety), Big died literally right after a Peloton ride in the reboot’s pilot episode. It was abrupt, dramatic, and weirdly sponsored. For SJP, killing off Big wasn’t just a plot twist—it was a full-blown existential crisis. “Big dying was really, really hard to do both professionally and personally,” she said. “It just felt really untethered.” Untethered. Like Carrie in season 4 after one too many Cosmopolitans and a life-altering Dior shopping spree. So Where Do We Go From Here? Carrie’s latest chapter involves revisiting her other long-time emotional boomerang: Aidan. Yes, the man who made her refinish floors in heels. If Big was emotionally unavailable and rich, Aidan was emotionally available and… there. Both come with baggage. One comes with wood polish. Because I Can’t Help But Wonder… Maybe Carrie was never supposed to choose between Big and Aidan. Maybe the real love story was the apartment, the shoes, and the column all along. But one thing’s clear: even Sarah Jessica Parker knows the drama was messy AF—and we loved every toxic second.
Hailey Bieber Sells Rhode Beauty for a Billion (Yes, Billion!)
I know the internet’s got a love-hate situationship with Hailey Bieber—especially if you live on SelenaTok—but you might wanna unclench for this one, because Mrs. Rhode Bieber just pulled the kind of move that has venture capitalists and beauty influencers alike foaming at the mouth. Hailey Bieber, Chief Aesthetic Officer of the clean girl era and full-time possessor of glass skin, just sold her skincare brand, Rhode, for a cool $1 billion. Yes. With a B. One billion. The company sliding that check across the table? None other than E.l.f. Beauty, the drugstore darling with a chokehold on Gen Z’s makeup drawers. This isn’t just a big day for Hailey. It’s a defining moment for the celeb-beauty industrial complex. Let’s unpack it—because this wasn’t just about lip balm. Wait, When Did This Go Down? The deal officially dropped May 28, 2025, but insiders say it’s been in the works since late 2024. Apparently, Rhode and E.l.f. approached each other like two skincare girlies bonding over moisturizer samples at a facial bar. Love that for them. So… How Much Is Lip Gloss Worth Now? Apparently? A lot. The deal breaks down into $800 million up front (in cash and E.l.f. stock), with a performance-based bonus of $200 million over the next three years. That’s not just money—it’s billionaire badge energy for Hailey, whose brand only launched in 2022. And if you’re still wondering if Hailey’s lip tint is worth the hype—well, it just got a billion-dollar stamp of approval. Why Did Hailey Sell Rhode Now? Two words: strategic partnership. According to E.l.f. CEO Tarang Amin, Hailey isn’t just a pretty face. He described her as a “thoughtful founder” with “incredible instinct and a beautiful aesthetic”—which is corporate speak for she gets the girls and the algorithms. Plus, Rhode made $200 million in the first quarter of 2025. Translation: Hailey launched a brand that prints money and looks cute on a vanity. Every founder’s dream. Is Hailey Bieber Still Involved? Or Did She Just Cash Out? She’s not going full ghost. Hailey will transition into a “strategic advisor” role—aka she’ll still have her hand in the glossy aesthetic and viral product pipeline. Before the sale, she served as Chief Creative Officer and Head of Innovation, which sounds fake but actually means she helped dream up products, campaigns, and maybe the perfect selfie lighting. Important work. What’s Next for Rhode? Oh, just a Sephora rollout this fall, NBD. This was already a long-awaited launch (some fans have been begging), and the E.l.f. deal just turbocharged it. Expect to see Rhode’s peptide-packed products lining shelves, probably right next to the TikTok-viral E.l.f. Halo Glow filter. In other words, your wallet isn’t safe. Hailey Bieber did what every influencer-founder dreams of: she built a sleek, minimalist brand in three years and flipped it for a billion dollars—while being hate-watched by half the internet. Love her or loathe her, Hailey just made beauty business history. And she did it while applying lip treatment with a glazed donut finish.
Ageing Gracefully? Darling, We’re Aiming for Ageing Fabulously! The Secret to Living Better, for Longer.
We all want to live our lives to the absolute fullest, don’t we? Waking up with that sparkling energy to truly enjoy time with our nearest and dearest, chase our passions, and totally crush it at work. Yet, as the years gracefully (or sometimes not-so-gracefully) tick by, many of us find ourselves feeling increasingly tired, a little more fragile, and sadly, more vulnerable to those pesky illnesses. It can feel like age is, quite frankly, getting the better of us. But darling, here’s the truth: ageing doesn’t have to mean declining. No, really! We’ve seen it firsthand. We’ve worked with patients in their fabulous 80s who swear they feel like they’re back in their vibrant 40s. CEOs have emerged from retirement not just revitalized, but practically reinvented. And groups of friends have swapped quiet lunches for globe-trotting adventures that would make a travel influencer blush. The secret, my dear? It’s all about longevity medicine. So, What Exactly Is This “Longevity” Everyone’s Talking About? One of the questions we get asked the most is, quite simply, “How can I live better for longer?” Now, traditional medical practice, while incredibly important, has often focused on treating the symptoms of our ailments – prescribing pills and quick fixes that suppress the immediate problem. But the real root cause? It often remains, only to pop up later as a different ailment or, worse, a recurrence. So, our answer to that burning question almost always boils down to two fundamental elements: truly empowering yourself to feed and protect your astonishing 30 trillion cells properly. By nourishing and safeguarding our cells, our tissues and organs naturally fall into line, taking care of themselves. And that, my dear, is the magic key to setting ourselves up for a truly better-lived life. And that, to us, is longevity. Longevity isn’t just about extending your years; it’s about extending your best years. It’s a sophisticated way of life that allows you to remain the very best version of yourself for longer. It uses cutting-edge science to increase our awareness to the subtle risks of decline, and then, crucially, helps us mitigate those risks before they can express themselves as decline, disease, or disorder. Chic, isn’t it? Midlife Longevity Mistakes We Must Avoid! We’ve all been there, thinking we’ve got it all figured out. But here are some common missteps we often make in midlife that secretly sabotage our longevity goals: Assuming Good Eating and Adequate Exercise Are Enough: While a clean plate and regular jogs are non-negotiable essentials, they’re only part of the puzzle. Factors like sleep quality, stress management, and mental well-being play absolutely critical roles in our long-term health. Did you know your gut, which is essentially your main immune system, can decline from stress alone? Protecting that precious gut microbiome is paramount! Believing Hormones Are Just About Menopause: Oh, honey, no. Hormones are the silent puppet masters impacting everything from our metabolism to our mood and even our brain function. Imbalances can quietly begin long before those traditional midlife symptoms even dare to appear. Get to know your hormones! Accepting Symptoms as “Normal Ageing”: Fatigue? Unexplained weight gain? That frustrating brain fog? Far too many of us just shrug and say, “Oh, it’s just age.” But accepting these signals can lead to missed opportunities for proactive health interventions that could dramatically improve your quality of life. Don’t settle! Lifestyle Habits Sabotaging Your Longevity (Ditch Them, Darling!) If you’re serious about living your best life for longer, it’s time to politely (or not-so-politely) ditch these habits: Eating Processed Food: Those highly processed culprits are often packed with sugar, unhealthy fats, and additives that relentlessly drive inflammation and metabolic issues. Your cells deserve better. Poor Sleep: Chronic sleep deprivation isn’t just about feeling groggy; it impacts your brain health, weakens your immune system, and significantly increases the risk of serious conditions like heart disease and dementia. Beauty sleep is vital, indeed. Chronic Stress: Long-term stress, even when it’s subtle or suppressed, wreaks havoc on your hormone balance, weakens your immune system, and basically puts your ageing process into overdrive. Find your calm! Lack of Movement: Sedentary lifestyles lead to muscle loss, sluggish circulation, and reduced metabolic function – all of which are intrinsically linked to decreased longevity. Get up, get moving, darling! Social Isolation: This one’s a biggie. Loneliness and a lack of meaningful connection can be as detrimental to your health as smoking or obesity. It increases the risk of depression, cognitive decline, and even early mortality. Nurture those connections! 5 Easy Ways to Support Your Longevity (Starting Today!) Ready to truly invest in your fabulous future? Here are five simple (but powerful!) ways to support your longevity: Eat Less, But Better Quality: Focus on whole foods, darling, with a mindful approach to carbohydrates. Want to take it a step further? Explore high-level supplements like glutathione and chlorella (fantastic for detoxing!), Vitamin D (essential for overall body support), and pre, pro, and postbiotics to lovingly protect that precious gut. Protect Your Sleep: This isn’t just about the number of hours you clock; it’s about the quality and consistency of your rest and recuperation. Establishing a regular, habitual sleep process is far more important. Those high achievers waking at 4 am? Their success is down to the quality, not just the quantity, of their sleep. Feed Your Brain: Your brain is working in the fast lane every single minute of every single day. So, nourishing this most vital organ should be a top priority. We always recommend methylated B vitamins and excellent fats like avocado to truly fuel that magnificent mind. Spend Time in Nature Whenever Possible: There’s absolute truth to it being “good for the soul.” Being in nature means you’re away from polluted environments that damage our delicate systems. Even a little “grounding” or “earthing” can help balance you and significantly reduce stress. Get outside, breathe deep! Harness Relationships: This is the cornerstone of longevity, truly. We were designed millennia ago on the savannas, where
Chanel Just Overtook Louis Vuitton in the Luxury Brand Power Play
In a plot twist that would make even the most stoic fashion executive do a double take, Chanel has leapfrogged over Louis Vuitton to become the world’s second most valuable luxury brand, per Brand Finance’s 2025 rankings. Behind only Porsche (yes, the car), Chanel posted a jaw-dropping 45% surge in brand value—making it the fastest climber on the luxury ladder this year. Translation? Chanel didn’t just step up—they moonwalked past Vuitton, flipped their signature flap bag over their shoulder, and kept it moving. The brand now sits at a cool $37.9 billion, while Vuitton, bless them, grew a modest 2.1% to $32.9 billion. Is the crown slipping? Chanel’s Rise While the rest of the market took cautious baby steps, Chanel was busy eating the luxury girls up. The brand flexed across every vertical—from haute couture to beauty to high jewelry—like it had something to prove. Spoiler: it didn’t. But it did anyway. France gave Chanel a perfect score for awareness, consideration, and customer satisfaction (we stan a national treasure), and key markets like the U.S. and Asia kept showing up and showing out. Oh, and in the Brand Strength Index, they jumped from fifth to fourth with a sizzling 89.6/100. What’s Fueling the Fire? Two words: strategy + vision. CEO Leena Nair and CFO Philippe Blondiaux are clearly not here to play. The brand has been on a global conquest, opening its first beauty store in India and linking up with Nykaa for a retail power move that says, “We see you, emerging markets.” Creative-wise, the arrival of Matthieu Blazy—formerly of Bottega Veneta—as artistic director signals a stylish shake-up. We’re all holding our breath for his debut collection this autumn, but Chanel’s been keeping the energy alive with six shows a year (because when has Chanel ever been caught slacking?). And let’s talk product: ready-to-wear is booming, while leather goods (once Chanel’s cash cow) are… well… not giving. But the hope is Blazy’s magic touch will restore the sparkle. Wait—They’re Doing All This While Losing Money? Yup. In a surprising twist, Chanel’s revenue dropped 4.3% to $18.7 billion, and operating profit tanked 30%. Sounds grim, right? But here’s the kicker—they still spent big: Clearly, the brand’s playing long-term chess while the others are busy budgeting lunch. The Price Problem (and the Gen Z Factor) Let’s address the elephant in the boutique: prices keep going up, and not everyone’s thrilled. Leather goods saw a dip, likely due to sticker shock. But Chanel claims they’re now syncing increases with inflation and doubling down on design, quality, and storytelling. Enter the Chanel 25 bag, launched with help from Dua Lipa and Jennie of BLACKPINK. It’s aimed at both longtime collectors and TikTok scrollers who want the bag that says taste and tax bracket in one frame. TL;DR: Chanel Ate—and Left No Crumbs This isn’t just a Chanel moment. It’s a reshuffling of the luxury elite. The top 50 luxury brands are now worth a combined $317 billion, with fashion claiming 70% of that pie. And yes, France still runs the show. But while others coast on legacy, Chanel is doing the most—with style, with strategy, and with a wink. And somehow, it’s working. In 2025, they’re not just in the conversation. They are the conversation. So if you hear a faint rustle in the fashion wind, that’s just Gabrielle Chanel rolling over to smirk in approval.
Beyoncé Just Helped Another Couple Reveal Their Baby’s Gender – And It Was Sweet
Can Queen Bey get any more iconic? We think not! Beyoncé has once again made a couple’s dream come true, helping them reveal the gender of their baby in the most unforgettable way. This amazing moment happened on night four of her Cowboy Carter Tour at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Beyoncé, ever the gracious superstar, was looking at all the different signs held up by fans in the crowd when one special request caught her eye. “First born, Carter,” she read from the sign into her microphone. “Gender reveal. Right now? I’ll be back,” she said, before stepping off stage, as fans captured on video. But don’t worry, all hope was definitely not lost for the excited couple! After a quick outfit change (from a fierce red leather look to a cool all-black jumpsuit with American flag-themed flared bottoms – chic!), Beyoncé kept her word. “I’mma take my time,” the mum of three told the cheering crowd, before taking the couple’s envelope and opening it up. The camera zoomed in, showing the piece of paper she held, with “COWBOY” written clearly in black and blue. “It’s a boy! God bless you. Congratulations,” she announced, as the stadium erupted in cheers. “Thank you so much for letting me be a part of it.” What a moment! Videos of the reveal quickly spread across social media, even shared by her proud mum, Tina Knowles, this past Wednesday. And this isn’t even a first for Beyoncé! Back in July 2023, during her Renaissance World Tour in Cologne, Germany, she also paused her show to help a fan with their gender reveal. “I wanna do this right, because, since the beginning of the show, I’ve seen this sign that says: ‘Do my gender reveal,’ ” she said back then. “I just want to do it right! Do I have to open the envelope?” “Can somebody hand me the envelope, please?” Beyoncé asked. Then, with that iconic flair, the “16 Carriages” singer simply said “girl” into the microphone, using a tone that instantly reminded everyone of her 2011 hit “Run the World (Girls).” “Congratulations! Congratulations, beautiful!” she added. “God bless you!” She truly gives her all to the BeyHive!
Why Is Black Skin So Dry? Unpacking the Ashy Truth & How to Get That Glow
Alright, darlings, let’s be honest: regularly slathering our glorious melanin-rich skin with every cream, oil, lotion, or trusty dose of Vaseline imaginable is, for many of us, a fundamental part of the Black experience. And why? To valiantly counteract that notorious “ashiness” we sometimes feel naturally predisposed to. But why do so many of us battle dull, persistently dry skin on the daily? Well, according to the actual experts (and we love an expert), it all boils down to our genetics. Turns out, Black skin naturally boasts lower levels of ceramides. But fear not, because luckily for us, there’s a sophisticated way to counteract this! “Ceramides are a type of lipid (that’s a fancy word for fat molecule, darling!) found in the stratum corneum, otherwise known as our skin barrier – the outermost layer of our skin. They essentially act as the ‘glue’ that holds skin cells together, forming a protective barrier that not only prevents moisture from making a grand exit but also guards against environmental damage.” Now, scientists are still puzzling over the why, but studies conclusively show that ceramide levels in Black skin are simply lower than those in our white counterparts. Is it any wonder, then, that so many of us wouldn’t dream of leaving the house without some form of moisturiser clutched firmly in our handbags? It’s not just a preference; it’s a necessity! And unfortunately, it’s not merely the look of dry skin that this affects. “A leaky skin barrier doesn’t just cause dehydration and dryness; it also makes the skin far more susceptible to inflammation and irritation from various environmental aggressors, such as harsh chemicals found in everyday soaps, cleaning products, and even those highly-fragranced cosmetics.” And where there’s inflammation and moisture loss, a cascade of skin woes often follows: think dry, rough patches, persistent irritation, pigmentation issues, fine lines, wrinkles, a loss of firmness, and yes, even unwelcome bouts of acne. Not quite the glowing complexion we’re after, is it? Your Guide to Countering the Ceramide Conundrum To halt this unwelcome snowball effect of skin woes, boosting our ceramide levels is absolutely key. The kicker? Not only are we born with fewer ceramides, but just like with collagen and elastin, our natural production of these essential fats gracefully declines over time. “Ceramide production naturally decreases with age, particularly after the age of 30.” On top of that, those pervasive UV rays, urban pollution, and even harsh weather conditions can break down ceramides, leaving our skin feeling utterly parched. To readdress this delicate balance, we need a fabulous multi-step approach. Luckily for us, the beauty world has delivered! There’s a veritable treasure trove of ceramide-boosting and skin-barrier-bolstering skincare waiting to be integrated into our daily regimens. “Using skincare products that contain ceramides helps to reinforce the skin barrier and prevent trans-epidermal water loss.” As a skin-identical active (meaning your skin intelligently recognises the ceramides in products just as it does its naturally produced ones), you’ll often find them in hero barrier repair products, alongside ceramide precursors (like phytosphingosine and sphingosine) which work to stimulate our own natural ceramide production. Smart, right? But according to the experts, you shouldn’t stop at simply ramping up ceramides. By strategically adding barrier-supporting ingredients such as cholesterol, fatty acids, peptides, and niacinamide into your routine, you can fortify your skin barrier even further and even encourage your body to produce more ceramides, giving your stores a little boost. Tag-team those with other hydrating superstars like hyaluronic acid or glycerin, and then (and this is key!), top it all off with a glorious occlusive like shea butter or good old petroleum jelly (that trusty Vaseline we all grew up with!). Voilà – you have the perfect routine to truly lock in all that hard-earned moisture. Oh, and it’s always worth a gentle reminder, darling – do NOT skip sun protection. Yes, even our gloriously melanated babes need to shield their skin from damaging UV rays. Especially since a naturally weaker barrier will find it even harder to protect the skin from the sun’s onslaught, leading straight to hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, and that unwelcome loss of elasticity. Protect that glow! What to Ditch for Your Most Hydrated Skin Ever Applying all those fabulous ceramides and addressing overall hydration won’t be quite as effective if you’re still clinging to a few ingredients that are the absolute nemesis of ashy skin. Time for a ruthless purge, perhaps? “Ditch harsh sulphates found in many cleansers like SLS and SLES, and opt for gentle, pH-balancing varieties instead. And, darling, don’t overuse those exfoliating acids (we’re looking at you, AHAs and BHAs) or heavy-duty physical scrubs, as these can actually weaken the skin barrier and even trigger hyperpigmentation in Black skin” . Her sage advice? Stick to gentle exfoliators like lactic acid and PHAs. Dr. Belmo also advises against regular use of denatured (aka drying) alcohol-based products, “as this alone can disrupt the lipid barrier and deplete ceramides.” Seriously, step away from the alcohol. A word of caution to our vitamin A lovers with dry skin: exercise restraint with retinoids. “Yes, they’re brilliant for skin renewal, but high-strength formulas can cause dryness and compromise the barrier. If you’re using daily, always moisturise either after retinoid application or deploy a genius ‘sandwich’ style approach – applying a moisturiser both before and after. Or, simply reduce frequency to improve tolerance.” Lastly, and this is a big one: be very wary of skincare products absolutely laden with artificial fragrances and essential oils. While they might smell divine, these can be incredibly irritating for dry or sensitive skin, potentially leading to inflammation that, you guessed it, weakens the barrier over time. Not chic. Essentially, for ceramide-poor Black skin, it is of the utmost importance that you stay as moisturised as humanly possible to avoid looking dull, dry, and, dare we say, ashy. Your ultimate focus? Strengthening that magnificent skin barrier if you truly want to rock your best, most radiant complexion yet. Go forth and glow!

Princess Isabella, 18, Just Raided Queen Mary’s Wardrobe for Cannes-Worthy Prada (And We’re Obsessed!)
Right, darlings, gather ’round, because if there’s one thing we love more than a major royal fashion moment, it’s a major royal fashion moment that involves a bit of wardrobe raiding. And Princess Isabella, at a chic 18 years old, just delivered on all fronts. The daughter of King Frederik and Queen Mary was the absolute spitting image of her stylish mother in more ways than one as she stepped out onto the balcony of Frederik VIII’s Palace to celebrate King Frederik’s 57th birthday this past Monday. Not only is that gorgeous long brunette hair making her Queen Mary’s undeniable double, but our eagle eyes immediately clocked what made her look so effortlessly put-together: a stunning Prada blouse straight from her mother’s illustrious wardrobe. This designer gem, with its delicate chiffon overlayer, intricate floral embroidery, and that oh-so-on-trend pussy bow neckline, was a true standout. And honestly? It feels incredibly 2025 – proving that great style, especially when it’s Prada, is truly timeless. For those keeping score, Her Royal Highness Queen Mary first graced us with this very blouse back in April 2018, when she opened the ‘Transformation’ photo exhibition. She styled it impeccably with wide-leg black trousers and those killer patent stilettos. It even made a virtual appearance during her opening speech at the Womenomics Nordic Business Conference in 2021. Talk about getting your cost-per-wear! Isabella, however, proved that a royal hand-me-down can feel utterly fresh. And while she might have been the sartorial star of the balcony moment, Queen Mary herself was, of course, present and equally chic, rocking a sophisticated navy Soeren Le Schmidt dress, teamed with Gianvito Rossi snakeskin pumps and an exquisite leaf brooch by Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Because clearly, the apple doesn’t fall far from the exceptionally stylish tree. Consider Princess Isabella officially our new royal style crush. Sustainable, elegant, and effortlessly chic? She’s got it all.
Margaret Qualley Just Floored Us with the Most Exquisite Chanel Gown at Cannes
It is a truth universally acknowledged (at least here at La Mode UK) that Margaret Qualley wouldn’t know a sartorial misstep if it hit her squarely in the face. What’s more, The Substance actor never shies away from a truly daring styling moment – and, yes, somehow her unwavering commitment to originality always seems to pay off. Whether she’s rocking a bold fur, a striking print, or an impossibly tiny miniskirt, there truly is no garment she won’t make her own. Perhaps it’s her former life as a dancer, imbuing every look with that signature, effortless elegance. And what, we ask, could be more elegant than an ethereal, utterly luxurious Chanel number? Precisely. This past weekend, Qualley graced the Cannes Film Festival to present her latest film, Honey, Don’t! – and, naturally, she turned to her trusty Chanel. For this occasion, she captivated us all in a sublime nude gown crafted from a flowing silk fabric, featuring a delicate sweetheart neckline adorned with a charming flower appliqué at the centre. This divine creation, we discovered, was directly inspired by the Spring 1990 Chanel archives. A stroke of genius, if we do say so ourselves. But here’s the kicker, the detail that truly elevated this look from stunning to iconic: she paired it with a pair of simple ballet flats. Perfection! It’s that unexpected, playful twist that defines Qualley’s style. A long-time ambassador for the iconic French fashion house, Margaret Qualley consistently injects a unique touch of romance and whimsy into her Chanel ensembles. Just cast your mind back to her glamorous backless number at the Oscars, or those utterly dreamy swan sandals. She understands that true chicness isn’t about rigid rules, but about an innate sense of self – and she, darling, has it in spades.
