The best time of year is upon us. It’s the season for candy corn, slasher flicks, and letting cobwebs pass as decor (when really, you just need to dust). If you haven’t sorted out your Halloweekend outfits yet, don’t fret. We have lots of cute costume ideas here at ELLE, but I’m here to break

Back in 2021, Manolo Blahnik introduced a virtual archive on its website where you can freely explore the world of the luxury shoemaker, from the eponymous designer’s first-ever silhouette to his muses and inspiration throughout the decades.

America Ferrera got ready to attend her first Chloé show in a festive way: with music and dancing.

The Barbie star—who poured her

If you’re into Sambas—or anything else from the brand, for that matter—Adidas has plenty to choose from before Black Friday officially arrives. SHOP NOW While Alo Yoga hasn’t officially announced the details of its Black Friday sale, I have a strong feeling it’ll host one with up to 30 percent off (going off what the

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. Anyone envying a designer appointed to a luxury post would do well to check their jealousy for a second. The challenge of taking on a legacy brand, with all its airtight codes and intricately spiraling “house DNA,” is not one for

Each September and February, I get particularly excited to see what the next big bag trends will be. Why? Because purses serve a purpose. They’re functional. I rely on my bag to carry my necessities. Translation: I can justify purchasing a bag more than, say, yet another frock. This fashion month, as we look ahead

It’s the most wonderful time of the sartorial year. The time when temperatures fluctuate just enough for us to don layers and style shoes in combinations that are unexpected, chic, and absolutely wearable.

You may just be getting into the latest fall 2023 fashion trends—and honestly, why shouldn’t you? The time has come for proper transitional dressing: cute fall boots, apple cider donuts, and pumpkin spice lattes abound.

There are plenty of people who would consider Hailey Bieber an icon—she does star in the Victoria’s Secret Icons campaign alongside the likes of Naomi Campbell and Gisele Bündchen, after all. But the 26-year-old model, street style savant, and beauty mogul would say otherwise. In her words, an icon is “someone who stands the test

Meghan Markle is always clad in stylish ensembles when she leaves her Montecito, California home, and we’ve mostly resigned to the fact that emulating her ’fits will cost a high percentage of our paychecks. However, the Duchess of Sussex wore chic earrings recently that are available on Amazon for just $22. Scout Curated Wears Stone

When Beth Hutchens of FoundRae set her sights on another store location for her jewelry brand, it wasn’t as easy as snapping her fingers. In fact, settling on a second storefront to house her modern heirlooms, or what I call expressive armor, happened by chance and fate. In the middle of a blizzard this February,

After weeks of speculation, Taylor Swift was finally spotted in the same general vicinity as Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce yesterday. That place was a home Chiefs game against the Chicago Bears where the sports star scored a touchdown. Swift looked fantastic for the game. The music icon kept it simple and chic

During the weeks that comprise fashion month, most people have their eyes firmly fixed on the clothes. And that’s wholly understandable, especially if you’re keeping a tab on the best spring 2024 fashion trends. But, coming from someone who lives by the sartorial rule that accessories make an outfit, you simply cannot overlook the details

To be dripping in diamonds usually means that one has reached the upper echelons of success. The sparkling stones often represent life’s milestones—a diamond ring may signify everlasting love, a diamond pendant can symbolize a significant work anniversary.

Well, well, well, what a fashion month it has been. As models have floated down catwalks all around the world—from Spring Studios to the Place du Trocadéro—I’ve been taking notes on which trends, styles, and silhouettes will be everywhere come the spring thaw.

Luxury is often associated with unattainability—high cost, utmost quality, and opulence. What if it didn’t have to be quite so impossible to achieve? Since the onset of the pandemic, the cost of a classic Chanel flap bag has gone up from $6,500 to over $10,000. Other classic luxury labels like Hermès and Dior have also

While #FashionTok may have taken over our feeds, delivering all the latest microtrends straight to our phones, coffee table books still reign supreme when it comes to preserving fashion history. No hashtags or paid ads, just the thumbing of a few pages to find your favorite designer, runway look, photograph, or editorial. And now, with

There are always a handful of designers on the radar of every editor, buyer, influencer, and fashion fanatic as the must-see shows of New York Fashion Week.
