Whilst straight-leg jeans have certainly earned their place in your denim drawer, I implore you to look beyond them when styling boots this season. Taking my inspiration from Florence Pugh, I spotted the actor stepping out this week in an ankle-boots-and-jeans combination that felt far more elevated than any straight-leg jeans and boots combo I've thrown together for some time.

Spotted styling a pair of cuffed jeans with black ankle boots, Florence's denim cropped neatly at at the ankle, the turned-up cuff pulling attention to her boots and preventing them from pooling over her footwear or falling into a straight hem.

For petite dressers, in particular, this is a boots-and-jeans pairing I keep recommending. Whilst longer, wide-leg styles can sometimes overwhelm a smaller frame, a neatly cuffed hem brings balance to the outfit, all the while revealing the chic shoes that lie beneath.

If you're looking for a low-key way to update your denim wardrobe, read on to shop the cuffed jeans I recommend this season below.

If you're looking to get ahead on your winter wardrobe, can I make a suggestion? Inspired by one of the chicest over-50s on my feed, Tracee Ellis Ross, I'll be stepping away from my jeans drawer as we head towards November and working checked trousers into my winter rotation instead.

There's something inherently wintery about the rich checks of Tracee's trousers. Perhaps it's their association with traditional tartan, or the depth of colour that makes this timeless print feel particularly suited to the colder months. Either way, they have a richness that makes them look luxurious.

While Tracee kept things light with her oversized shirt and a chunky scarf, I think checked trousers would look just as chic paired with a chunky wool jumper as we move deeper into winter. Add a pair of black boots and have a comfortable, cosy outfit you'll reach for on repeat.

Elegant, elevated and a welcome alternative to everyday denim, checked trousers are firmly on my winter wish list. I've tracked down the best styles on the market right now, so read on for my edit.

We've entered the time of year in which jeans are the primary outfit component, and It girls across the globe are proving it daily as of late. Two recent examples are the 20-something Daisy Edgar-Jones and the 30-something Emma Stone, who stepped out this week wearing the rich-looking trend all the chicest dresses are wearing with jeans right now: jacquard jackets (or, similarly, brocade jackets).

The theme of fall 2026 fashion has been opulence, and jacquard jackets have become the buzzy item people are primarily shopping for as a result. These jackets, in which the ornate pattern is directly woven into the fabric, are the easiest way to dress up jeans and make your outfit as a whole look incredibly expensive. As for Edgar-Jones, she opted for a fitted white jacquard jacket from Mango, while Stone went with a longer gray collared iteration with her jeans. It's an easy, versatile outfit combination that looks both trend-forward and classic.

Scroll on to see Edgar-Jones and Stone in their similar jean outfits, and shop chic jacquard jackets to follow their lead.

There are so many flat-shoe options on the market right now; it can be hard to pick between the countless pairs when shopping for your next style. But I'm here to tell you that the best option if you want your shoes to look expensive and polished with every outfit is to avoid classic colors like black and brown and instead opt for a navy blue pair. Don't just take my word for it, though. Kendall Jenner is backing the flat-shoe color, too.

This week, when the supermodel went on a dinner date at Sushi Park in Los Angeles with Hailey Bieber, she chose a satin pair of flat mules from The Row, called the June Mules, which—you guessed it—were navy blue. She styled the flats with a matching knee-length skirt and a black boatneck T-shirt, adding a mustard-colored leather shoulder bag for a pop of color. Black or brown flats would have looked fine with the ensemble, but her choice to wear navy made the outfit appear infinitely more elegant and expensive. No added effort required.

On Kendall Jenner: The Row June Mules ($1000) and Terrasse Bag ($3500)

Sadly, Jenner's specific mules are currently sold out, though if you want to join the waitlist for a pair, I wouldn't argue against you. They're gorgeous and will surely restock at some point given their popularity among the celeb set. That being said, her June Mules aren't the only option out there. The Row even has another navy-blue satin slide, the Tilda Mules ($1050), that make for a great alternative. For a more affordable swap, you can't go wrong with Reformation's Buffy Ruched Ballet Flats ($228). Even more price-conscious shoppers could go with Old Navy's V-Cut Ballet Flats ($18), which are currently on sale.

Cast your mind back to early summer, when every fashion person emerged from their house in a silky slip dress, complete with a silk or cotton bandana cinching in the waist. Remember the look? Alexa Chung was one of the trend’s earliest adopters; in fact, she helped cement it as one of the season’s defining trends.

So, when I spotted her swapping her silk bandana for a wide-brimmed cummerbund this week, I knew I had to pay attention. Taking the menswear essential into her own wardrobe, Alexa styled the sleek sash around her waist, neatly bridging the gap between her skirt and knitwear in place of where a simple belt might once have sat.

Rooted in the history of formal menswear, the cummerbund brings a sleek, sophisticated edge to an outfit, making it an unexpectedly effective way to elevate everyday dressing. While I love the borrowed-from-the-boys appeal of pairing one with tailored trousers, I suspect it’s the knee-length skirt combinations that will resonate most in fashion circles this season, particularly given the growing momentum behind this skirt silhouette.

If Alexa has inspired you to give the look a go, read on to shop the cummerbunds on my radar right now.

It was one of the first truly crisp nights of October when Willow Smith took the stage at Sony Hall in New York. Beneath the iconic music venue's starry ceiling, a crowd of undeniably cool concertgoers milled through the smoky atmosphere like ants swarming a popsicle-splattered sidewalk. The crowd erupted in applause when the singer and youngest of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith's children emerged from the velvet curtains—a vision in persimmon lace and chartreuse silk, with a striking wash of lavender shadow across the eyes. Why purple? I later asked the singer when we rendezvoused in a cozy green room several flights below the stage after the show. "Purple is the color of the third eye chakra," she replied coolly. The intentionality of her artistry—from the thrumming beats of her spiritually charged music to the symbolism of her Dior makeup choices—is not lost on me as we dive into the beauty behind her latest album, The Thread.

At just 25 years old, The Thread marks Smith's eighth solo album. But it's not merely a new project for the artist: Smith refers to the collection as "a devotional album," one inspired by nature, the different chapters of her life, and an inner sense of homecoming as she continues to forge her journey. "It feels like a sense of an arrival at a certain point in my career," she explains. "Obviously there's so much more to go, but The Thread is a through line through every different era that I've ever been through." And Smith is the first to acknowledge the bold beauty choices that have marked each one.

"I've been bald. I've done big hair. I've done a lot of stuff. I've done nothing," she tells me, leaning forward on the plush chaise. "I used to just not wear makeup on stage, like, ever—I used to feel like it would get in the way," she adds, "but now I feel like it adds to the energy. And I'm always down for a little change, honey."

Smith's creative confidence in beauty can be traced back to her mother, who was one of her earliest examples, she tells me. "Watching her do her makeup—just being so enamored by her sense of what she knows looks good on her…knowing herself inside but also out so well—that was very inspiring to me," Smith says with a small smile.

It takes a fellow visionary to translate the abstract themes of Smith's ethereal music into beauty, so celebrity makeup artist Dee Carrion—praised for her work with Doja Cat, Doechii, and Ayo Edebiri, to name a few—has been the conduit for these colorful makeup manifestations. "She really has been so instrumental, specifically [with] the makeup looks, for this album rollout," Smith praises. We take a few seconds to effuse over her gray-toned glam on Doechii at the 2025 Grammys. "The girls love her!" she exclaims.

Carrion herself is much humbler about her recent work when discussing Smith's color-splashed new era. "I use a lot of shimmers, sparkle, soft pastels, and washes of color to translate the ethereal energy into the makeup look and overall ensemble," she explains simply. Smith's look that evening—a bright lilac eye, accentuated by brown feline liner—was a symphony of Dior eye products, including Diorshow 5 Couleurs in Plum Tutu, the Flash Stick in Celestial Star, and the Waterproof Liquid Liner in Satin Brown. "

"There's a color-blocking element that's happening," Smith says, elaborating on her recent kaleidoscopic looks. Her previous album—Petal Rock Black, released this February—followed a black-and-white theme that reflected the artist's period of creative isolation. "I wanted to do something that was a juxtaposition to that," she adds. "I feel like it is very expressive of all the colors that nature uses to paint this insane tapestry that we call life."

Carrion applauds Smith's creative approach to beauty ("She’s down to do fun glam," the makeup artist tells me) but also respects her discernment when she knows a performance would look and feel better stripped back. "Most of our glams are pretty collaborative, and I think each [one] really depends on her energy that day," she explains.

Though every session with Smith produces a new, creatively charged look, there are a few ol' reliables that Carrion keeps close by. The Diorshow Overvolume Waterproof Mascara in Overblack is one— "It’s the blackest mascara, and we need the waterproof!" the artist explains—and the Dior Backstage Glow Maximizer palette and Dior Forever Glow Luminizer are the others. "The Glow Maximizer palettes are so versatile, and I love the shimmer payoff—they’re just beautiful," Carrion muses. Alternatively, she relies on the Glow Luminizers for lit-from-within radiance versus eye-catching shine. "I reach for both often."

Smith is aligned on the glow front. "I love a good highlighter," says the singer, her eyes trailing off in memory as if looking back on the stage she just left. "Picking it up on the camera… a good highlight always hits the light so well." The pair relied on the Dior Backstage Glow Maximizer in the new Icy Rose Glow palette—an array of frosted white, lilac, petal pink, and champagne shades—and the Diorshow Flash Stick shade in Celestial Star for touches of radiance on the star's cheeks and eyes. "It has this really beautiful icy purple shade that added such a gorgeous sheen and glow to her cheeks and complemented the eyes," says Carrion. She then added "the perfect sparkle" to Smith's inner corners with Celestial Star—something that made all the difference under the lights.

At this point in Smith's life and career, there are few beauty risks she has yet to take. What's important to her now is inner work—not just as an artist, but a person. "I'm trying to actually see myself—not through a lens of lacking something, but through a lens of intentionality and your sincerity," she states. "There is nothing that is more important than your sincerity." Smith is candid about how the experience of performing onstage can rattle her if she lets it ("Sometimes I'll be like, 'Oh, I fucked up that note. I fucked up that guitar riff. I wasn't good—and that's not cute on the inside."), but is vigilant enough to understand that these self-described flaws are worth embracing rather than shunning. "I think that the real beauty comes from loving yourself and loving your imperfections."

It's this self-love journey that makes her even more grateful to be a beauty ambassador for Dior Beauty. "As an extremely tattooed and pierced African American woman, to be involved in this campaign is, I think, groundbreaking," says Smith. "I want other people to see that the perception of beauty is wider than ever before, and it's only going to get wider and wider until hopefully one day it encompasses literally every fucking body. And that's what I want."

After an action-packed fashion month that came to a suitably high octane close in Paris, I’ve used the last few days to take stock of my own wardrobe. While the fashionable capital was full of full-throttle glamour and directional trends we’ll no doubt see everywhere next summer, I’ve always found myself far more interested in what is happening on the streets outside the shows. Perhaps it's a particular shoe colour that suddenly everyone seems to be wearing, or a certain bag that has show-goers enthralled. Whatever it happens to be, very quickly the rest of the set will clock on too. And this October, the fashion crowd's off-duty wardrobes have a serious soft spot for grey trousers.

In a look that feels equally as preppy as it does borrowed-from-the-boys, Maude Apatow was the first to put me onto the growing trend. Spotted outside of Miu Miu’s spring/summer 2027 show, her brown-and-grey houndstooth, barrel-leg trousers instantly caught my eye. Styled up with a matching relaxed blazer, blue shirt, tan button-up cardigan and maroon pointed-toe heels, the look was a masterclass in playing with proportions.

If I hadn’t already been convinced that grey trousers were making a comeback, enter the OG It girl herself, Alexa Chung. Now, it must be said, there's very little fashion-wise Alexa can’t convince me of, but her look outside Chloé show sealed the deal on the grey trouser. Styling a butter yellow, satin tank top with a pair of fitted, pinstripe trousers with a slight flare, had me instantly sold. The contrast of these soft, powdery hues brought a lightness into her look that felt decidedly unfussy. Both understated and quietly luxurious, it couldn't feel more Alexa if it tried.

Then, showing us how to take grey trousers from runway show to afterparty, Nara Smith's full Miu Miu look of low-rise bootcut trousers, a nearly nude top and vinyl heels felt every bit the It girl she is. But I knew the trend really had legs when, mere days later and over 2000 miles away in New York, Elsa Hosk posted a grey trouser look to her social media feed. Choosing a Herringbone set not dissimilar to Maude's, she made a compelling case for monochromatic dressing with utilitarian structure, to bring a clean sharpness to her daytime look.

So if you're looking for a reason to add grey trousers to your autumn wardrobe, I've rounded up the best of the best. Keep scrolling to shop the grey trousers that are getting my stamp of approval right now.

If you've been online lately, you've probably seen a certain photo of Hailey Bieber circulating on Instagram and TikTok. In it, her skin is luminous, her lips are blurred, and her blush is...well, blushing. The photo in question was taken during an appearance on a French TV show that's famous for its soft-focus studio lighting. It's so famous that the internet is now referring to it in plain terms as "The French show with the good lighting."

The show is actually called Quotidien, and it's a news and pop culture talk show hosted by Yann Barthès. Bieber appeared on the September 30 episode to promote the European launch of her skincare brand, Rhode, at Sephora. She's the latest celebrity bringing attention to this (admittedly niche) internet obsession. For a long time, people have been sharing old images of Margot Robbie, Sabrina Carpenter, Harry Styles, and other A-listers on the Quotidien set, marveling at their ultra-flattering, fresh-faced appearances, and attempting to understand how it's done.

Lighting is important—there's no doubt about it, but makeup also plays a major role. Luckily for us, Bieber's makeup artist, Diane Buzzetta, just revealed the exact products she used on set. (FYI: Buzzetta also works with Kendall Jenner and Margaret Qualley, so she's an expert at creating flawless, luminous looks.) Ahead, see every single makeup product Bieber wore during this internet-viral appearance.

Before we know it, winter will arrive, and we'll all be trading our band jackets and trench coats for heavier outerwear, like fur toppers. Although this warm silhouette is timeless and versatile, It girls are already showcasing that a specific denim trend makes the perfect pairing. One fashion person leading this movement is Tate McRae.

In NYC this week to celebrate the launch of her fragrance, Tate 01 Eau de Parfum, McRae was photographed in a fur-coat outfit. She chose a short black style and paired it with a quarter-sleeve white tee and cropped straight-leg jeans. To complete the look, she added pointed-toe heeled mules, retro sunglasses, and a black Miu Miu bag.

On Tate McRae: Miu Miu Solitaire Bag ($3130); Cou Cou Intimates Rina Long Sleeve ($68); Chanel shoes

Choosing low-rise, cropped straight-leg jeans feels intentional and fresh. While they offer the same versatility as standard straight-leg jeans, the cropped hemline and low waist lend a more modern, polished edge. The shorter length reveals a bit of ankle and highlights statement footwear—like her lace-detailed mules—preventing winter layers from looking overly bulky.

Fall weather is here in many parts of the world, and already, fashion girls appear to be tired of the traditional elements of autumnal dressing. They don't want to wear knit beanies and scarves, but rather baseball caps and shawls, the latter specifically. In recent months, we've spotted everyone from Jennifer Lawrence and Kendall Jenner to Zoë Kravitz donning printed shawls and pashminas, worn wrapped around their bodies to keep warm on chilly days in New York and inside brisk airports. Think of them like blankets that happen to be printed with ornate designs that turn any outfit—even just a travel-day pair of lounge pants—instantly desirable and worthy of compliments.

Lawrence was the most recent A-lister to lean on a printed shawl to combat the cold weather, wearing a long black coat with a black-and-burgundy printed shawl tied around her neck. She finished off the early-winter look with a baseball cap, Garrett Leight sunglasses, and The Row's cognac-colored Hugo slides.

On Jennifer Lawrence: Garrett Leight sunglasses; The Row Hugo Suede Mules ($1050)

Earlier this season, Kendall Jenner was seen wearing a printed shawl on two occasions, first at the Emporio Armani show in Milan paired with a '90s-inspired black pencil dress and strappy sandals, and later at the airport following her trip to Venice for the Venice Film Festival. For the travel day, she wore a blue velvet shawl with a jacquard print, paired with statement sunglasses, dark-wash jeans, and leather The Row flats.

And in August, Kravitz was seen arriving back home to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, from the airport wearing a dusty rose–colored shawl around her shoulders—a perfect cover-up for a warm day after you've been stuck in a cold airport or plane all day. She paired the vintage-looking accessory with a New York Times baseball cap and Thistles sunglasses, plus slouchy The Row Gala pants and suede flats. The travel outfit was completed with a large woven Estelle tote bag by The Row.

This just in: one of the chicest French women around, Emily in Paris's Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (aka Sylvie Grateau), has put me onto one of the smartest airport outfits I've seen this season. Better still, it centres on two of my own in-flight essentials: jeans and trainers.

Making this tried-and-tested travel pairing look particularly polished, Philippine opted for fresh white trainers with a matching pair of white jeans. From there, she built on the crisp, tonal palette with a boxy white blazer and a coordinating baseball cap, pulling the whole look together without sacrificing an ounce of comfort.

For me, it's the head-to-toe approach that makes this outfit feel so chic. By keeping everything within the same colour family, Philippine gives two casual wardrobe staples a more considered feel. Well worth saving down for your next flight, not least because it'll make heading straight out after landing that much easier. And, of course, you don't need to be travelling to make it work: this is just as suited to a busy day running around town.

Pinned to my travel-day moodboard, if you're taking notes, too, I've rounded up the white jeans and trainers I'd recommend shopping below.

Whilst jeans as a category are an enduring wardrobe staple, certain cuts and crops ebb and flow with the seasons. Where skinny jeans once ruled the roost, relaxed, straight-leg styles have largely taken their place. But beyond these bigger shifts, each new season brings its own smaller denim trends to the fore. And as we settle into autumn, I've started to notice one particularly chic style circulating in fashion circles: cuffed jeans.

Taking the trend out for a spin this week, I spotted Zendaya stepping out in a mid-wash blue pair finished with a generous turned-up hem. Styled with black shoes—specifically, a pair of heeled ballerinas—her look brought together two of the season's biggest denim and footwear trends in one. Finished with a longline leather coat and a simple white tee, the outfit was simple, but the thoughtful combination of jeans and shoes made it feel so distinctly 2026.

Beyond adding an extra dimension to the denim, the thick cuff creates a cropped effect that taps into another key silhouette of the season. Paired with sleek black heeled ballerinas, it feels polished yet unfussy, with a distinctly French-girl energy that makes the combination all the more appealing.

If there's one celebrity that everyone is talking about at the moment, it's Daisy Edgar-Jones. The star is currently on the press tour for her latest film, Sense and Sensibility, and her stylist, Dani Michelle, has created some incredible looks, including custom Miu Miu dresses and vintage Armani suits. However, her makeup and hair have truly stolen the show for me, and I've been keeping an eye out for which products she's been using.

As an Estée Lauder global brand ambassador, it's no surprise that her makeup artist, Jo Baker, has been using some of the brand's icons to create her glowing makeup looks. But when it comes to hair, it seems as if Daisy has been using an affordable favourite of mine to get her fringe looking red-carpet-ready.

Daisy Edgar-Jones' hair has been looking amazing on the Sense and Sensibility press tour.

It's no secret that Daisy has some of the best curtain bangs in the business (seriously, she even convinced me to give the popular fringe a go), and her hairstylist Bryce Scarlett just revealed what products he used for her latest red carpet look.

Taking to Instagram to share Daisy's perfectly tousled, voluminous fringe, Scarlett included a picture of Redken products, including the brand's Root Lifter Volumising Mousse Spray (£26).

Designed to add body and lift, it appears that this under-£30 hair mousse is the star's secret to getting her signature voluminous bangs. Whilst Scarlett is yet to share exactly how he used the product, I recommend applying the mousse to towel-dried hair before blow-drying your fringe with a round brush.

For her final press tour appearance, Daisy paired her red-carpet-ready bangs with a lavender smokey eye and a 1999 Chloé by Stella McCartney corset set, and I will be thinking about this look for a long, long time...

If there's one thing Dakota Johnson is known for (aside from her acting chops and dry sense of humor, which has launched a thousand internet memes), it's shiny hair. For years, people have obsessed over how glossy her signature espresso-colored strands look, whether she's on a red carpet, hosting Saturday Night Live, or on a press junket. I'm no different. As a beauty editor, I've been on a shiny-hair quest for years, and she's my celebrity North Star.

Luckily for me, I just learned the *exact* products her hairstylist, Mark Townsend, uses to achieve her liquid hair look—at least for her recent appearance at the NYC premiere of Verity. It involved five styling products, including a $29 dry gloss that delivers expensive-looking shine.

"It's no secret that Dakota Johnson and I are inspired by '90s supermodels at the moment, and for the premiere of Verity in NYC we decided on a very '90s half-up hairstyle," Townsend says. "The two-piece Calvin Klein look that Dakota chose for the premiere was full of sparkle and shine, so we wanted her hair to be just as shiny and bright!"

Townsend used IGK Hair products. Below, shop all five, including the dry gloss.

"The Mother of Makeup" is more than just a moniker for the legendary Pat McGrath. It represents her 25-year tenure carving a path for makeup artists to experiment and perfect their craft. But her influence doesn't end with the beauty industry. It's uniquely tethered to our second favorite F word: fashion. Not only is McGrath responsible for some of the most iconic runway makeup looks (we're looking at you, Valentino spring 2020), but she's the creative director of cosmetics for Louis Vuitton and several other brands. Not to mention, her highly coveted Pat McGrath Labs products are likely in your beauty routines, makeup hauls, and Instagram tutorials.

The long list of McGrath's accolades is growing, with another successful Paris Fashion Week under her belt. And if you thought McGrath couldn't get any more impressive, think again. Today, Pandora x Pat McGrath officially launched in celebration of fearless self-expression, transformation, and color. Yes, we agree—one of the most prolific runway makeup artists joining forces with the world's largest jewelry brand just makes sense.

When you merge Pandora's stellar craftsmanship with McGrath's innovative use of color, you get a collection that honors jewelry as more than a mere accessory. This collection is a form of self-expression that marries beauty and jewelry through a vivid palette of 17 charms and rings. "To me, makeup and jewelry have always been the same art," McGrath says. And to no one's surprise, the beauty motifs are strong here. The charms include McGrath's signature glossy lips, Pandora's iconic shimmering hearts, mantra medallions, and so much more. (The Tube of Beauty Drip Earring has my name written all over it.) If this collection is not an ode to McGrath's bold, colorful makeup looks, we're not sure what is.

These pieces take fall layering to new heights, reminding us layering doesn't stop with our clothing. We're layering our accessories, starting with these necklaces, which are designed to be stacked. The image above features beloved model and TV personality Olandria Carthen, who stars in the campaign, effortlessly giving us a master class in jewelry stacking. McGrath and Carthen met nearly a year ago, sparking online requests from fans for a collaboration. "To be able to be here alongside Mother Pat with this amazing Pandora collaboration has been a dream of mine, so I'm just so excited, and I love her to death," Carthen tells us. We can confidently predict that fans will be overjoyed by this full-circle moment.

Above, Carthen dons charms with vibrant, eye-catching hues that twinkle in the light. According to Pandora Creative Directors Francesco Terzo and Alessandro Filippo Ficarelli, "This collection is the result of two creative voices coming together around one powerful idea: color as a force for transformation." Fiery reds, pops of purple, and glittering golds are just some of the shades juxtaposed with Pandora's signature 14-karat gold pieces. You can see them gracefully dangling from chains, hoop earrings, and bracelets.

McGrath's approach to jewelry mirrors her approach to makeup. "All beauty rules are worth breaking, but that's my name. My name is Pat McGrath, and we are about breaking rules. I think you should break rules all the time. There's always a surprise," she told us at the Pandora x Pat McGrath pop-up in NYC's Herald Square. And this collection is full of surprises. "I adorn the body with color, light, crystal, glitter, and pure pigment. Jewelry is that same instinct made eternal," McGrath says. The accompanying campaign, starring Ava Shipp, Chiharu Okunugi, Ali Dansky, and Alton Mason, spotlights McGrath's iconic jewel-toned hues. It takes a village to capture the magic. The campaign was photographed by Solve Sundsbo and styled by Emma Wyman, with videography by Willy Busfield, hairstyling by Ryan Mitchell, and makeup by McGrath herself. "With Pandora, the two arts I have always loved became a single language,” she says, and thankfully, we're now fluent in it.

Since arriving at Isabel Marant's S/S 24 show in Paris without a stitch of makeup, Pamela Anderson has become a figurehead for natural, fresh-faced beauty. She's attended Oscars events, the Met Gala, and her own son's wedding with a minimalist beat, so when she appeared at Vogue World: Milano wearing striking, inky eyeliner, she, of course, got people talking. "I never want to pigeonhole myself," the star tells Who What Wear about the decision to go full glam. At present, the bold liner has given way to a pair of thick, square-framed glasses that lend a scholarly air, heightened by the backdrop of Anderson's sprawling at-home library. Elbows perched on a copy of Vivienne Westwood's Get a Life!, she leans closer to the computer screen. "At that point in my life, I really wanted to strip things back and get to know who I am again," she continues, "but I also love makeup. I love glamorous looks. When I'm doing a film or if I'm in a play, I wear lots of makeup, but having good skin is the most important thing."

It's a lesson she learned from her mom, who frequently wears a strong eye, brow, or lip but always keeps her skin free of foundation. "I remember her saying that foundation and powder just sink into your wrinkles," Anderson shares. Keeping the complexion "raw," as she calls it, maintains the best of both worlds, allowing her to play with color yet remain authentic under a high-resolution camera lens. "When you go with a bare face, it's a more vulnerable, approachable, interesting look, but that's just my two cents. I've been having fun with it," she adds.

In other words, the switch-up isn't that serious. "I really just felt like it went with the outfit," Anderson says. She also had the opportunity to work with Dame Pat McGrath for the event, and when Mother invites you into the makeup chair, you might as well opt for a bold beat. "I thought, 'Let's just do it, but in a Michèle Lamy or Carine Roitfeld way'—like a Cleopatra eye that's a bit severe without anything else on my skin," she recalls. Indeed, she kept the rest of the look simple with nothing but a sheer wash of shimmer over her lips, courtesy of a brand-new Sonsie product she's had to keep firmly under wraps.

Like Anderson's return to bold makeup, the Wild Groundcherry Basic Balm has a breezy, lighthearted spirit. It boasts the same smoothing, plumping players as the original formula (25% sugarcane-derived squalane and a 1% hydrating peptide complex) and a flavor inspired by the unexpectedly earthy, semisweet ground-cherries from Anderson's own garden. Another surprising delight is the soft, golden shimmer, which is mica- and microplastic-free. "It just enhances the natural color of your lips," Anderson explains. If you were a fan of the brand's limited-edition Sugar-Dipped Rhubarb version, then you're likely familiar with that subtle, cool-toned sparkle. Wild Groundcherry has a similar effect with a warmer finish, and like its rhubarb-flavored predecessor, once it sells out, it's gone for good.

You can either wear it on its own, like Anderson, or layer it over your favorite lip product—say, a bold, colorful liner à la Westwood. "She was such a mentor to me," Anderson says of the late designer, stroking the spine of her current reread. "She wore red eyeliner on her eyelids and green on her lips. She didn't think about what other people thought of her." We could all use a little of that courage, Anderson adds, which is why she's embraced a new beauty MO: Expect the unexpected. "I feel very empowered at this moment in my life, and that, to me, means not following trends," she says. "You know, I have a very playful side. … When I find something new, I like to share it with people."

If I’ve learnt anything from monitoring the showgoers of Fashion Month over the past few weeks, it’s that blazers really aren’t resonating in quite the same way they were a season or two ago. In their place, boxier jackets with sweeping, built-in scarf details are permeating every fashion circle.

Leading the charge is undeniably Elsa Hosk, who this week stepped out once again swaddled in the elegant layer. Wearing the Helsa Italian Herringbone Jacket (£563) with the brand’s matching straight-leg trousers, Elsa crafted an elevated, polished and remarkably easy-to-pull-together outfit.

There’s something about the way the scarf detail sweeps back from the shoulder that gives the jacket a more considered feel. Better still, the built-in scarf brings a little extra fabric and warmth to the equation, making it as practical for the cooler months as it is polished.

Elegant, elevated but unfussy, I’m convinced this is the jacket trend the chicest people will be investing in this season.

In 2026, a fashion friend group is easy to spot. You won't catch them in jeans-and-a-tee; instead, they’re giving their off-duty outfits a more elevated spin. Case in point: Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber, who I spotted stepping out for dinner in L.A., each wearing two of the year’s most significant wardrobe staples.

Let’s start with Kendall. Aside from the fact that she chose one of the season’s biggest trends to form the foundation of her look, she styled her pencil skirt with a boat-neck top, cut to a sleek three-quarter-length finish.

The season’s chicest alternative to a simple, clean-cut tee, the boat-neck top brings a relaxed, French-girl-inspired feel to any and all outfits. It has that slightly prettier, more considered quality that's still as easy to wear as your favourite T-shirt.

Then there’s Hailey. Starting with a simple strappy tank top, she completed her look with a pair of black bootcut trousers. Styled with slip-on strappy mules and sleek black accessories, the thoughtful switch from jeans to bootcut trousers gave her simple outfit a polished, elongated feel that denim simply can’t replicate.

So, if you spot two women walking side by side in outfits like these, know that you’ve probably just stumbled across a fashion friendship in the wild. Whilst their looks aren’t identical, they share the same philosophy: take a familiar wardrobe staple and make it feel just a little more considered.

Cool, practical, and chic, the Los Angeles–based activewear brand Set Active is best known for stylish, high-quality basics. Naturally, founder Lindsey Carter's personal style reflects that exact same vibe. Her wardrobe is built on elevated basics—versatile pieces she easily mixes and matches to pull together effortless outfits, even with the demanding schedule that comes with running a company.

Below, Carter shares the three pieces in her wardrobe that she couldn't live without. When they're styled together, the outcome is always fashionable. But first, a little more background on Set. The brand is community-driven with a dynamic drop strategy, believing that creating products (right down to the color) based on the actual needs of customers is a top priority. The result is cult-favorite leggings, sets, bralettes, and more. The brand also just released The Uniform, designed by Claudia Geissler, which offers pieces you'll want to wear regularly in your rotation—aka the items Carter herself wants to wear. Keep scrolling for more intel on Carter's three-piece fall uniform, along with more of her go-to pieces for wardrobe inspiration.

As per usual, Jennifer Lawrence, who has been out and about a lot this week, is bringing the outfit ideas. She's one of those celebrities who doesn't usually wear head-to-toe looks by one designer when she has an event or occasion to dress up for. Anyone with a stylist can wear an off-the-runway look. Lawrence mixes things up, and sure, she wears designer pieces regularly, but many of her eclectic outfits can be recreated using similar pieces. So, let's take a look at one she wore in NYC this week, because it's particularly chic.

Lawrence's outfit consisted of the basic outfit formula of a blazer, skirt, and heels, but the trends she chose are what made it special. For starters, she opted for a black straight-button blazer. The single-breasted, often fitted style is becoming more popular by the day this season, with stylish dressers buttoning them all the way up and wearing them in place of a top. The skirt color trend she chose was smoky lavender, and Lawrence's chiffon skirt by on-the-rise London designer Pauline Dujancourt couldn't be more stunning. As for the heel trend, she wore closed-toe satin mules (an upcoming Chloé style) that served as the perfect finishing touch to the pretty outfit.

Jeans and heels are among the most-worn pairings. With only a few exceptions, the combination is fail-safe. It consistently exudes effortless sophistication and lays a sleek foundation for any ensemble. While white jeans paired with tan pumps can be chic, nothing rivals the timeless polish and universal appeal of black jeans with black pumps. Case in point: Dua Lipa's recent outfit.

While in Paris for Fashion Week, Lipa was photographed on the streets wearing cropped jeans with a faded black wash and pointed-toe black pumps. She could have added a striped sweater or white T-shirt, called it a day, and it still would have looked cool, but she opted for a statement evening jacket. The intentional styling and outerwear silhouette felt true to Lipa's style because it was Chanel and featured black trim and red flowers. It also gave the jeans and heels a mature, ageless feel.

James Bond has raced through the streets of Monaco, hurtled down Austrian ski slopes, chased villains in Madagascar, crashed parties in Cuba, and jumped off trains in Istanbul. The missions have varied, and the backdrops have changed, but one thing has remained constant: the Omega watch on his wrist. Hollywood's best dressed action hero has worn an Omega Seamaster watch in every 007 movie since 1995. Now, 31 years later, the storied partnership is getting an exciting new addition.

Omega's new collection is inspired by both Bond and his notorious adversary, Spectre, the secretive global criminal organization. Befitting the shadowy antagonist, the Spectre version features a sinister black dial and the syndicate's tentacled logo on the caseback. The Bond edition, meanwhile, suits the spy's polished persona with an elegant blue dial and the 007 insignia on the caseback. "Everyone has a James Bond side and a Spectre side, and for the first time, this Omega collection lets them wear both," Omega President and CEO Raynald Aeschlimann told Who What Wear.

I asked Aeschlimann why he thinks the James Bond character has remained culturally relevant for so many decades. "His values are easily understood from generation to generation," he replied. "Duty, class, and loyalty mean the same thing today as they did decades ago. His style has lasted for the same reason. People still look at the suit, the car, and the watch, and they take something from it for themselves. Spectre gives the story its other side, and I think people recognize both sides in themselves, which is where our collection began."

In honor of the new collection, Omega has staged a five-week exhibition inside its Glendale boutique at The Americana at Brand mall. Now open to the public until November 8, 2026, it features more than 20 original, rarely seen props from seven Bond films, plus several special watches worn in Skyfall and Casino Royale that normally live at the Omega Museum in Switzerland. If you ask me, the exhibition is the perfect way to bide your time while we wait for the next 007 actor to be revealed. See you there!

With Paris Fashion Week wrapped, we can finally bid au revoir to fashion month for another season. And naturally, with fashion's best-dressed racking up their step count, we had to take a closer look at the best shoes on show, from chunky trainers to animal-print boots. But whilst I adored Iris Law’s affordable leather loafers and have plenty of time for the understated ballet flats spotted on Dakota Johnson, there was one footwear category that truly had a hold on the fashion crowd this season: heels.

Whilst the French are often known for their ballet flats, I was taken aback by the sheer number of chic heel trends outside the shows this season. Zendaya's choice of classic courts had us all talking in the office, as did the nostalgic colour-blocking favoured by Chloe Sevigny. And before you write off black heels as "boring", the arresting shape that a very leggy Saoirse Ronan cast outside the Louis Vuitton show was one to silence the critics. Curious to see how these celebs adopted the shoe trends that dominated Paris Fashion Week? Keep scrolling to see and shop the heel trends so good you may actually want to trade in your flats.

Three Heel Trends Celebs Wore in Paris This Season

1. White Heels

Style Notes: Whilst everyone else was totally taken with Zendaya's jeans, tank top and statement jacket at the Louis Vuitton spring/summer 2027 show, it was her fresh white heels that had my attention. Her ruffled jacket would indeed leave a lasting impression regardless of the shoe choice, but her pointed-toe stilettos proved why white court shoes are so classic. Sleek in silhouette yet surprisingly versatile, they add just the right amount of polish, pairing particularly well with wide-leg, low-waisted jeans.

2. Curved Heels

Style Notes: Undoubtedly the year of the sculptural silhouette, this fashion week saw curved heels popping up everywhere, including on the feet of everyone's favourite Little Women star, Saoirse Ronan. Playing with proportions and lengthening the leg, the subtle outward curve creates a dynamic shape, adding an unexpected dimension to her scalloped-hem miniskirt and colour-blocked red jumper. This directional finish adds just the right amount of playfulness without feeling try-hard. All I need now is calves like Saoirse, and I'm set.

3. Two-Tone Heels

Style Notes: In 1957, Gabrielle Chanel introduced the eternally iconic two-tone pump, and nearly 70 years later, the style still manages to exude an effortless sense of everyday elegance, especially on the feet of fashion darling Chloë Sevigny. Arriving at the Louis Vuitton dinner, she paired a puff-sleeve floral minidress with a pair of brown two-tone heels, striking the perfect balance between nostalgia and modern-day cool. The vintage feel added to the look's energy, but its polish is what made it impactful.

If you want a temperature check on the trends set to ripple out next, you need only look across the Channel. Whether French or not, Paris's fashion set has a knack for offering up the styling ideas that matter most, so this week, as Paris Fashion Week has unfolded, I’ve been keeping a close eye on the off-duty street style set for inspiration to see me through these early autumn days.

So, when I spotted Uma Thurman out in the exact jeans-and-loafers combination I’ll happily be wearing on repeat this autumn, I was intrigued. Better yet? Her pairing featured an upgrade I hadn't even considered: Uma swapped the usual black loafers for a pair in a rich midnight navy.

Riffing on the blue tones in her mid-wash straight-leg jeans, the navy loafers created an easy tonal effect that made the whole outfit feel more considered and cohesive.

Wearing hers with a knitted longline blazer over a simple white tee, Thurman kept the rest of the look pared-back, finishing with fine-framed sunglasses for a modern take on '90s minimalism.

Naturally making jeans feel a little more put-together, I’ll be taking this styling trick with me well into autumn. If you will, too, read on to shop the navy loafers I recommend below.
