The word "iconic" has been thrown around so much in recent years that it almost feels like the definition has lost all meaning. However, if there’s anything worthy of that description, it’s these shoes.

Just like how manners maketh the man, the same can be said for how shoes complete an outfit. What would Princess Diana’s famous revenge dress be without the Manolo Blahnik BB Pumps she teamed it with? Or Kate Moss’s festival-style-defining Glastonbury outfit from 2005 without her mud-stained Hunter wellington boots?

Style insiders know this firsthand, which is why it’s the case that footwear is the first thing people rush to buy upon the launch of a new designer collection or expensive-looking high-street collaboration. (Yes, even before luxury bags.) Whilst this may seem counterintuitive, given that shoes will inevitably encounter more wear and tear than other accessories, the most tasteful dressers are acutely aware that the investment is well worth it in the long run. And to put it plainly, you can’t leave home without wearing them, so why not choose the most impactful pair imaginable?

But what makes a shoe iconic? Well, they must be veritable objects of affection, meaning that their appeal is only outranked by their timelessness. On the latter, it must be said that the most iconic shoes are all unified by their designs, regardless of whether the style is half a century old, like the Chanel slingbacks, or has barely been around for a year, like The Row’s Dune flip-flops. Furthermore, their desirability must be compounded by their virality, with each being culturally significant in its own right.

From Christian Louboutin’s famous red bottoms to Carrie Bradshaw’s preferred heel, uncover the nine most iconic shoes of all time ahead.

The 9 Most Iconic Shoes of All Time

1. Christian Louboutin So Kate

Style Notes: Standing at a staggering 12cm high, Christian Louboutin's So Kate is the French fashion designer’s most iconic pair of red bottoms. Finished with a razor-sharp heel and equally tapered toe shape, the stiletto derives its name from iconic supermodel Kate Moss. "The Kate is a sharp style, simple and very complex at the same time," the eponymous designer explained in an interview. “If the line is not very perfect, you do not have any embellishment to hide it. It sounded so much like Kate Moss, simple yet very sophisticated. I felt this pump just had to be named after her, because it was so Kate."

More recently, it’s Zendaya who has done the most to enshrine the legacy of the So Kate as an iconic shoe, with the actress rarely spotted on a red carpet or press event without wearing the arch-raising shoe. After being trained by legendary stylist Law Roach to wear them for formal functions at only 14 years old, the actress has kept the shoe at the forefront of her most elegant looks ever since. Talk about putting your best foot forward…

2. Maison Margiela Tabis

Style Notes: Another shoe that’s deemed iconic for the way it stirs controversy is the Maison Margiela Tabi. No longer under the radar, this shoe has transcended its underground origins to become a household name in its own right. But first, a little background. You might’ve become acquainted with the split-toe shape after the "Tabi Tinder Swindler" drama of 2023. However, the shoe has a far more storied history that’s worth telling.

The Tabi, a Japanese worker’s shoe, dates back thousands of years to the 15th-century Sengoku period. However, it wasn’t until 1988 that the shoe became a glorified entity in fashion circles after Maison Margiela closed its debut collection by sending Tabis stamped in red paint down the runway. With a wash of crimson hoof-like imprints on the stark white catwalk, the Maison Margiela Tabis broke new ground for what designer shoes could be.

3. Miu Miu Satin Ballet Flats

Style Notes: Whilst ballet flats were a firm favourite in the early 2000s, orthopaedic concerns and the rise of "norm-core" trainers exiled these dance-inspired shoes to fashion’s cemetery. That was until Miu Miu’s autumn/winter 2022 collection revived them from the dead. In one collection, pretty satin slippers became all the rage. Rivalling pointe shoes with a silky exterior, elasticated strap and charming bow accent, Prada's sister brand instantly resuscitated the style.

In the weeks that followed their launch, eager buyers were constantly battling a cycle of selling out and quick restocks, which only heightened their demand. They also earned the number-one spot on fashion technology company and premium shopping app Lyst’s index of the top 10 hottest products of the quarter. (Lyst also cited that there was a "1,100% spike in searches" for the shoes.) These are truly one of the most iconic shoes of the decade.

4. Chanel Slingbacks

Style Notes: They say that age comes before beauty, but Chanel’s slingbacks are a style that balances both. Whilst the luxury French maison is revered for so many creations, like its tweed jackets and quilted leather bags, this slip-on style is regarded as being in a league of its own. Created in 1957, the story goes that Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel took inspiration from the two-toned shoes worn by high society gentlemen when designing a shoe that was elegant and practical for her well-heeled clientele. The black capped toe came from her desire for a shoe that would withstand scuffing, whilst the trademark elasticated strap that wraps around the ankle is the consequence of wishing for shoes that she could’ve discreetly slipped off under the dinner table. The result? An enduring silhouette that’s stood the test of time.

5. The Row Dune Sandals

Style Notes: How can a shoe that’s barely a year old already be deemed as one of the most iconic? Debuted in The Row’s spring 2025 collection, this style silently garnered cult status before reaching its peak this summer. You need only look at the ferocity with which these elevated flip-flops have been discussed in the press, notwithstanding how feverishly they've been snapped up.

In one summer, The Row’s Dune Sandals have overhauled the way we approach this beach-ready silhouette. So, does the humble composition of simple rubber base and grosgrain ribbon straps warrant an eye-watering price point of £730? This is what catapulted this shoe to iconic status. Since all press is good press, they'll certainly always be famous, even if it’s just for the way they caused an uproar.

6. Saint Laurent Le Loafer

Style Notes: Perennially appealing, Saint Laurent’s Le Loafer is arguably the most sought-after and successful pair of loafers ever. Ever so slightly pipping the Gucci Princetown style to the post, this sumptuous pair is casually chic, earning approvals from the likes of Hailey Bieber, Zoë Kravitz and Dakota Johnson—pretty much every contemporary minimalist style icon. Their appeal is rooted in their non-descript nature. Opulent without being ostentatious, these shoes feature a softly ridged exterior and that all-important gilded YSL hardware.

7. Hermés Oran Sandals

Style Notes: Hermès is synonymous with luxury. There’s nothing quiet about the brand, from its burnt-orange packaging to the decadent bags it creates, with the luxurious offerings a testament to French craftspersonship and attention to detail. These qualities are upheld in the Oran Sandal, a flat shoe designed in 1997 and named after the coastal Algerian city of the same name. Characterised by the instantly recognisable cutout H shape, this style is something you’ll spot at ritzy holiday destinations across the world. From the Côte d'Azur to Lake Como, this luxury signifier of summer is one that will reappear season after season.

8. Manolo Blanikh Hangisi

Style Notes: The styling choices made by Patricia Field when designing the costumes for Sex and the City brought us many pop culture icons, but none are perhaps more relevant than the way the main cast’s outfits introduced Manolo Blahnik to the mainstream. In an episode in the show’s third season, the shoe’s legacy was cemented after Carrie Bradshaw decreed, "You can take my Fendi baguette, you can take my ring and my watch, but please don’t take my Manolo Blahniks." The message was clear: the Spanish footwear designer’s creations were the definition of sophistication and style.

Shop the Shoe:

9. Adidas Sambas

Style Notes: Trainer trends are probably the most fickle of all footwear. However, if there's one style that has dominated the conversation (and still holds the most amount of cultural cache), it's the Adidas Samba. The sneaker was first issued in the 1950s but reached fever pitch in the early 2020s after a slew of celebrity endorsements from Kendall Jenner, Emily Ratajkowski and Bella Hadid, to name a few. It’s not hard to make the sports conglomerate’s three stripes iconic, especially in the UK, but a co-sign with British-Jamaican menswear brand Wales Bonner certainly helped. From pitches to pubs and everything in between, this is one trainer with serious staying power.

Why Trust Us

At Who What Wear UK, fashion is our speciality. Our editors have years of industry experience, from reporting on seasonal fashion trends seen at international fashion weeks to working with some of the most recognisable names in fashion. Every item we recommend is carefully selected based on current trends, quality and real-world wearability.

We regularly try on pieces ourselves—everything from best-selling jeans to designer shoes—and speak to external experts and fashion insiders, staying closely connected to what our readers are searching for. Our advice is grounded in expertise, and each and every buy we feature has to meet our exceptional taste standards—so you can feel confident in every recommendation.

Winter and luxury are two words that just go hand in hand in the world of fashion. After all, it is the season of over-indulgence, so why not extend the sentiment to our wardrobes too? We've already nailed our layering choices throughout autumn, and now we're looking for pieces that can cater to our consistent need for cold-weather style. The importance of finding those hero pieces that can stand up for winters to come is a responsibility that I personally think lies in the territory of investment buys.

I can attest for myself and say that my favourite items in my winter wardrobe are the classics that have seen me through year after year and which I still get unashamedly excited to dust off as soon as winter rolls around. These are the pieces that we can rely on, the ones that never fail to get us compliments and can withstand any trend cycle. But if you're struggling to think of a few items you already own that are worthy of a place on your forever list, then read on, as I've narrowed down five key pieces that are well worth the investment. 

1. Wool Coat

Style Notes: I'm not shy about my love for a chic long, wool coat. This kind of coat is simply a no-brainer during a cold winter—it boasts practicality by guaranteeing warmth, yet is so effortlessly stylish and easy to wear. Although some can come with a bold price tag, I still strongly believe that it's best to have one in your wardrobe for this time of year. After all, something this classic will last you for years and years. On those wintery nights out, pair with a sleek ribbed dress and boots, then dress down with a pair of straight-leg jeans and a fine merino knit.

2. Leather Jacket 

Style Notes: The iconic leather jacket is an item that can carry you through all seasons. Easy to layer, this classic piece adds an element of cool to any winter outfit. It's a classic for a reason, and in my opinion, is superior to every other jacket trend. I love Anouk Yve's bomber style (pictured above), which is effortlessly balanced with slim-fit jeans and loafers. There are countless ways to incorporate a leather jacket, whether that be a biker, blazer or trench. Style with statement accessories like a bright beanie or beret.

3. Sleek, Chunky Scarf

Style Notes: Winter accessories are hands down my favourite part of chilly-season fashion. You're given the chance to add a whole new dimension to outfits that you've had on rotation for a good few days or weeks, not to mention the extra layers of warmth that a scarf, hat and gloves bring. In particular, the statement chunky scarf knows exactly how to put in the work for your wintery outfit. Whether it's a pop of colour, a contrast in texture or just a switch up in silhouette, a good scarf can do it all. 

Shop Chunky Scarves:

4. Knee-High Boots

Style Notes: When the cold creeps in, classic knee-high boots make their way to the front of the shoe rack. They mean business and are an easy way to elevate your winter ensembles. With so many variations to choose from and so much styling potential, there's truly a boot for everyone. This is an investment buy you won't regret.

5. Bold Knit

Style Notes: A statement knit is that one item you look forward to styling every winter. It's your favourite of the bunch—the one that washes well, maintains its vibrancy and above all, keeps you cosy. You needn't worry about what the rest of your outfit is doing when you have this to bring it all together. A stellar knit should be versatile enough to wear throughout party season as well as on errand-running days, and I love Laura Klein's vibrant argyle jumper (pictured above) for this reason. Paired with straight-leg jeans, it's a look to rotate all winter long.

For a dinner out in New York, Taylor Swift pulled together an autumn-ready outfit we’ll be copying all season long. Joining friends Zoë Kravitz and Greta Gerwig, Swift stepped out in a sleek LBD, brown wool coat and the season's favourite black knee high boots for a casual evening outfit that has us itching to replicate the style at home.

As we sit in the sweet-spot of early autumn, where the last remnants of summer's breeze dutifully linger and autumn's leaves begin to fall, we're presented with a rare few perfect weeks to style some of our favourite outfit combinations, whilst the weather permits, such as a jumpers and sandals, or bare legs and knee boots.

Taylor Swift styled a brown wool coat from Vince, £840, with a black LBD, black Pumppie Botta Leather boots from Christian Louboutin, £1,570 and a black handbag.

Opting for the latter, Swift styled her black knee boots with a black mini dress, omitting tights for the warmer evening. To ensure she stayed warm all night, Swift styled her look with a houndstooth coat from Californian brand Vince.

This isn't the first time Swift has fallen back on this simple styling solution, just yesterday the singer was spotted styling a little red dress with brown knee-high boots and an oversized, longline denim jacket.

A proponent for the easy autumn styling trick, we'll be taking a leaf out of Swift's book this autumn and beyond. Read on to shop our favourite black knee-high boots below.

Blake Lively's a busy woman. Between raising four kids and her successful acting career, it's understandable she'd forget to do something once in a while. That's why we didn't fault her for making us wait an entire year to see photos of what she wore to Gigi Hadid's NYC birthday party at Zero Bond. Luckily, 365 days after the bash, she finally shared her look.

This week, Lively posted a gorgeous photo of the magenta minidress she wore to Hadid's 27th birthday last April on Instagram. She captioned her photo of the very Serena van der Woodsen outfit, "Happy one-year anniversary to the day I meant to post this photo." She added red embellished heels from Christian Louboutin and a red Chanel clutch to the Sergio Hudson body-con micro-mini, which is currently on sale at Net-a-Porter.

Luckily, we did get a glimpse of Lively's look in April of last year, thanks to some photographers outside the event. But nothing beats a behind-the-scenes shot from the subject herself, which is likely why Lively's post is currently going viral. See it and shop her dress (while you still can) below.

The last four months have been busy for Italian actress Beatrice Grannò. Following the premiere of season two of The White Lotus, where she broke out playing Sicily native and aspiring singer Mia, Grannò has appeared on talk shows, on magazine covers, in a Skims campaign with co-star Simona Tabasco, and front row at Paris Couture Week and New York Fashion Week. It’s been a whirlwind press tour for the 29-year-old that culminated in an exciting and well-deserved win at the 29th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. The star-studded cast turned out in full this Sunday to take home the coveted statue for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series, marking yet another big night for the Mike White series.

For the occasion, Grannò selected a gorgeous black dress with a deep-V neckline and thigh-high slit from Valentino’s Urban Riviera collection accompanied by Tiffany & Co. jewelry and Christian Louboutin heels. The look, styled by Valeria Marchetti, was complemented with slicked-back hair and her signature red lip. Who What Wear was there to document all the details of her look before she hit the red carpet, and we caught up with the actress the next morning to talk about the special evening.

Congratulations on season two of The White Lotus and your Screen Actors Guild Awards win for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series! What has it meant to you to be a part of this show and incredible ensemble?

The fact that we won as an ensemble is what makes this award really special. Sometimes in this job, you feel like it’s a very individual job. You are very much by yourself. And also with awards, you are always competing with other people. So the fact that we all won as a group, it was something that I had never experienced before, and it was so beautiful when we were there all together celebrating. We kept saying congratulations to one another. We all had our own [statue]! And these types of experiences make you remember that you are never alone. Your job is not just you. It’s loads of people’s jobs, especially when you are an artist. And the fact that all the actors voted for us, it’s beautiful. 

Looking back, what excited you most about playing a character like Mia?

I love that she is so unpredictable. You never know who she’s going to be, what she’s going to become, or what she’s going to do. I love the fact that she is musical. At the beginning, that’s what made me fall in love with her—to be able to play someone who can sing. But I loved the fact that she started out as this innocent young girl, and she flipped into something else. Also, last night, we were all having dinner, The White Lotus cast, and I was having a conversation with Will Sharpe, who is a very clever guy, and he was saying that he realized me and Lucia were… You know Midsummer's Night Dream? That’s a very similar story, and the character Puck could be me and Lucia, so I love the fact that they could not even exist. They could be like two imaginary friends, but they are there to fix things, break the equilibrium. I just love this about Mia and, of course, Lucia.

Mia is a great character. I also love how determined she was to get her moment in the spotlight. 

She is so determined that she becomes blind. She doesn’t see what she’s doing. I said this before, but you know when you are late? You’re in a rush, and you have to leave. You become clumsy, and you leave a mess. And then you come back home, and it’s like, "Oh, how did I do this?” I think that Mia … wants to get there [so quickly], and then she’s so clumsy. 

Both Mia and Lucia have so many great looks throughout the season. Do you have a favorite?

I think the white dress, the one with the feathers when she’s with Valentina. I just loved it because at that point she became sort of a femme fatale, a very strong woman determined to get what she wants. It reminded me of a Marilyn Monroe world. She also sings "Happy Birthday,” so it reminded me of that world.

Let’s talk about your look for the Screen Actors Guild Awards.

What I loved about that look is that it tells a story of sensuality that I like because it’s not upfront. It’s reserved, but it’s there. So sometimes through the gap of the dress, you can see my leg, but sometimes, you don’t. I love this kind of way of telling a story of sensuality. But also, I loved it because it is, in my opinion, what Italian fashion is, what it always was. So it’s chic but minimal but very definite and very strong. It doesn’t need that much—it’s there. I tend to have a very soft energy, so something that makes me feel more strong, it was just perfect.

Was it one that you tried on and instantly knew "This is the one,” or did you try many options?

I tried many looks from many brands, but for some reason, my eye would always go back to that one because that dress was one that we tried, but it didn’t fit. It was the most complicated one, but I kept going back to it.

You had such cool hair and makeup. What was the inspiration behind your glam look? 

I think that we were going for more of a natural look for the makeup. And then for the hair, we wanted a wet look, which is something I’d never done before and was exciting. The glam team was so talented. Peter Gray did the hair, and it was so good. And also the makeup artist Karoline Karakeosian works with Valentino Beauty. With makeup, I don’t like to have too much on. I always love a natural look, but this was the idea to create a sort of wet effect.

What are some self-care rituals you do on the day of a big red carpet event to keep yourself calm and feeling your best self?

I don’t think I have a ritual because every time is different. But I definitely have a few things I like to do. I don’t like to have a night out before. I really like to have a moment for myself and not really have fun. I don’t want to have fun because of the butterflies in your stomach. You should take care of them. So I drink herbal tea, spend time with myself, and try to get bored a little bit. So that’s what I normally do. Listen to music.

As if Rihanna didn't have enough to celebrate at the moment, between a record-breaking halftime performance at the Super Bowl and a second baby on the way, she can add turning 35 to the list. Naturally, the singer-turned-entrepreneur didn't ring in another year as the world's favorite billionaire on the DL, at least not in the dressing department.

To mark the occasion, Rihanna was joined by A$AP Rocky, her best friend Melissa Forde, her brother, and more close friends and family at her go-to spot in L.A., Giorgio Baldi. She showed up in four-inch, crystal-covered Louboutins aptly named the Just Queen Sandals, an off-the-runway Bottega Veneta coat, vintage Gucci by Tom Ford accessories circa 2004 (sourced by the one and only Vintage by Misty), and a micro-mini look that defies fashion's oldest rule—never wear white after Labor Day. 

To clarify, we know that this particular style guideline is staler than the snacks we indulged in during the birthday girl's epic show last Sunday. But it still goes to show that Rihanna continues to play by her rules and her rules only. To see her entire birthday look (as well as A$AP Rocky's epic Loewe ensemble), keep on scrolling.

I was (fashionably) late to the jeans party. My first foray into pants was experimenting with my mom’s old stirrup leggings, but beyond that, dresses and skirts were strictly my jam. Anything with separate legs felt restrictive and as far as hemlines were concerned, the shorter the better. 

That all changed when I discovered vintage in high school. Turned on to the "joy of the hunt” by a friend, I became obsessed with the adrenaline rush of discovering one-of-a-kind pieces. My previous grievances against pants were quickly forgotten when I fell for a pair of perfectly worn-in Levi’s. This was holy grail denim: buttery soft, slightly androgynous, and in the most perfect sky blue wash. I was hooked, and my repertoire expanded quickly: frayed cutoffs in lieu of miniskirts, indigo bootcut jeans over slip dresses. My sweaters were set aside in favor of oversized, distressed denim jackets. I’d turned into a true blue-jean baby. 

Denim still factors heavily in my closet. I’m in jeans almost every day. Recently, I crossed over to the dark side. Black jeans create a totally different look, and I was keen to switch things up. Revamping my denim drawer made me feel like I was in high school again, chasing a high through different cuts and washes. If you’ve recently fallen into a denim rut, read on to revitalize your black denim spark.

The perfect travel day outfit. The high crew neck is cozy and less restrictive than a turtleneck while a wide-leg faded jean is instantly more interesting than leggings or skinny jeans. Sneakers and a cute claw clip will keep you zipping through TSA to pre-board. 

A foolproof everyday look. Layering a colorful cardi will brighten even the grayest day. Straight-leg rigid denim is a subtle homage to the '90s, and patent leather lug soled boots are functional while staying on-trend.

Your to-do list is longer than a CVS receipt, and you need your getup to look as sharper than you feel. Keep it simple with a blazer-and-tee combo, then add some interesting texture with an over-the-shoulder striped sweater.

Date night on the books? A lace-edged cami and sky-high strappy stilettos add sex appeal, while baggy cropped jeans anchor the look. Top it all off with a delicate gold chain to highlight that collarbone.

New season, new scent is an adage I live by, so what better time to switch up your signature scent than at the start of a new year? Like a fresh haircut or a new pair of shoes, a new perfume has the ability to put a spring in your step and boost your mood in a single spritz, which is exactly what we need when heading into October… 

The quest to find a new fragrance is never easy—you never really know quite what you’re looking for until you’ve found it, and while letting loose in a beauty hall may be the best way to shop for perfume and find your new signature scent, it can also be overwhelming, to say the least. 

To give you some pre-shopping guidance, we asked beauty editors and fragrance insiders to share their predictions for the best perfumes of 2023. From bold oud blends to cosy skin scents, this is what perfume experts will be spritzing into the new year. I’ll go first…

1. Aesop Eidesis

If you’ve read any of my recent fragrance stories, you’ll notice that Aesop’s latest fragrance, Eidesis, features in quite a few of them. I can’t get this scent out of my head, and although I usually like to wear a different fragrance each day, I keep coming back to this one. It’s simultaneously sweet and spicy, which makes it quite unlike anything I’ve ever smelt before, and although it’s super subtle, I always gets compliments when I wear this. I’m predicting that warm, skin scents (like Escentric Molecules Molecule 01 and Phlur Missing Person) will be huge in 2023, and this definitely fits into that trend.

2. Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540

"This is a hard one as I’m such a fragrance lover and genuinely wear a different fragrance most days depending on my mood, outfit or the weather, but Maison Francis Baccarat Rouge is my ultimate favourite,” says Grant Donaldson, beauty content creator and fragrance expert. 

"I was introduced to it by a friend years ago, since then my best friend wears it, as does Andrew (my fiancé) so for me it’s the ultimate comfort. It’s like a cuddle in a bottle from those I love the most. It’s an instant smile. I think I’ll be wearing it for as long as they make it. It’s the perfect blend of warm, woody, oriental with a slight sweetness — although I often get a sort of menthol note from it too, which keeps it fresh without it being a typical citrus or linen musk. It’s for a true fragrance lover, someone who appreciates fragrance as an art form and not just because it’s been a viral fragrance made popular by celebs. Fragrance should be personal to you, not because it’s trendy but because it has an emotional attachment. The house of Maison Francis Kurkdjian is so luxurious and that’s reflected in the price. It’s often imitated but nothing comes close to the original.”

3. Vyrao Georgette Eau de Parfum for Self Love

"My fragrance preferences are pure chaos. On the one hand, I love light, fresh, metallic scents, but on the other hand I also adore dark, spicy, sexy scents that have an air of mystery to them,” reveals Sophia Panych, Head of Beauty Content at Farfetch. "Add to that the fact that I'm a sucker for coconut-y and vanilla-y fragrances in the summer and my perfume collection is all over the place. Vyrao Georgette somehow oddly encompasses all my preferences in one wildly intoxicating scent. It's spicy and smoky thanks to sandalwood, patchouli, and tobacco. There's a sharp, metallic quality courtesy of violet leaf absolute, and there's a touch of vanilla that adds a smooth creaminess. It has a surprisingly airy quality to it, for being such a punchy scent, and gives me a little added chutzpah with every spritz.”

"Georgette is a woody, spicy, floral that errs more on the woody/spicy end of the spectrum than the floral one. It reminds me a lot of the Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black (RIP Mary Kate and Ashley's now discontinued range), but it is great for anyone who wants a standout scent that's warm and spicy and woody, and who doesn't mind patchouli, as I know it can be a polarising note. Vyrao is an indie, niche fragrance brand, which I feel is a category of scents people are really paying attention to these days thanks to TikTok discovering unique perfumes like Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge. But Vyrao is also a brand that sees fragrance as a mood booster and wellbeing tool. This trend of "functional fragrance" has really taken off since the start of the pandemic and I think Vyrao does it in such a beautiful and elevated way.”

4. Miller Harris L’Air de Rien

"I will admit to wearing the same perfume for an embarrassingly long time,” confesses freelance beauty editor, Jenny Brownlees. "I have long loved the light, floral notes of Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle, and wearing it since my late teens means it holds so much nostalgia. Now in my 30’s – I wanted to switch to a scent that felt more ‘grown-up’. I have fallen for Miller Harris’ L’air de Rien, which will be my signature for 2023. I like the notes of amber, earthy moss, musk and Neroli set off against a warm woodiness. It brings to mind a hint of vintage books, which I love. The fact it was created for the ever-chic Jane Birkin speaks to the Francophile in me, and not to judge a perfume by its bottle – but this is a real beauty.”

"If you like second skin scents with a hint of woodiness, it’s a winner. L’air de Rein translates as "the essence of nothing” and ties into the trend of individuality within fragrance – seen with Glossier’s You and Phlur’s Missing Person. These aren’t overtly bold scents, they often smell different on different people’s skin, and seem to encourage closeness and intimacy. The exclusivity of L’air de Rien is another aspect I enjoy – since it’s limited to annual small batches of production each year, it makes it feel extra-special.”

5. Loubirouge by Louboutin

"For me i would have to be Loubirouge by Louboutin. It transports me to the Hollywood set of a cigar lounge or powder room in the 1920s,” says Nicole Koremblum, content creator and TikTok fragrance reviewer. "It’s a blend of beautiful powdery iris and addictive vanilla. Such a perfect signature, all year round scent, and extremely underrated. I'm slowly becoming addicted to iris scents, but I would recommend it to anyone who loves a statement fragrance. It’s not too overpowering but still potent, perfect for anyone who loves iris or a powdery scent with a gourmand touch!”

6. Experimental Perfume Club Tonka Extraordinaire

"I tend to wear a collection of The Ones, rather than The One,” reveals Alice du Parq, fragrance presenter, expert and host. "Coming into January - which is always so miserable and slow - I will want something cosy and nurturing, so I'll be adding Tonka Extraordinaire by Experimental Perfume Club to my winter scent wardrobe. It's a warm, smudgy blend of tonka bean (a bittersweet kernel that smells like dark chocolate, toffee and liquorice), sesame seed (nutty and toasty), amber (golden and glowy) and iris (buttery and creamy). It's addictive but not sugary, like the soft suede lining of a handbag covered in smeared lipsticks and Nutella. People who love 'gourmand' fragranced but don't want it overly fairground-sweet will love this. 

"My followers are all wanting snuggly, skin-melting, human-touch style fragrances that feel like a cosy maternal hug. I can see this trend really radiating into 2023 with more of those warm-embrace and skin-to-skin scents. They're almost like no-perfume-perfumes, where big obvious floral notes have been replaced with elegant pillowy musks, powdery notes and damp, milky wood aromas.”

7. Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Satin Mood

"I’m getting married in February, and my chosen wedding scent is Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Oud Satin Mood,” says Hannah English, author and beauty expert. "I’ll want to wear it constantly to remind me of the big day. I’m so excited!”

"It’s loud, it certainly makes an entrance and smells deep and delightful, like a smoky Turkish Delight. The notes are violet (powdery), rose, and vanilla, grounded by the smoothest oud you’ll ever meet. It’s for lovers of vanilla and gourmands. If you like to smell edible but you’re looking to add some depth and richness to your scent wardrobe, you’ll love it. Fragrance is the next skincare, in that it’s growing as a category and we all want to learn more about it. In 2021 and 2022, I took myself a little too seriously and wanted to wear strange, intellectual scents that I didn’t necessarily enjoy. For 2023 I’ve moved past that and like many others, I just want to smell delicious. We’re all more comfortable liking what we like and having fun with it.”

8. Narciso Rodriguez for Her

"For 2023, I'm going back to one of my old favourites, which is Narciso Rodriguez For Her,” reveals Who What Wear beauty editor, Eleanor Vousden. "I remember reading an interview with Narciso years ago and I knew I had to get my hands this perfume (which was created by Francis Kurkdjian, who is also behind Baccarat Rouge 540). This scent is an ode to musk, which is one of my all-time favourite fragrance notes. It's warm, skin-like and lingers on the skin all day— you only need one spritz of this and you'll smell it on your scarf or jumper all day. With the popularity of Phlur's Missing Person in 2022, it has put musk back into the spotlight.”

9. Jean Paul Gaultier Le Belle Le Parfum Eau de Parfum Intense

"My 2023 signature scent will be Jean Paul Gaultier Le Belle Le Parfum eau de Parfum Intense. I believe perfume should be alluring, mysterious, and bewitching. This perfume does just that,” begins Irene Wainman, TikTok fragrance influencer. "This spellbinding perfume smells of amber, vanilla, tonka, and jasmine. It's long lasting and the initial blast of sweetness muddles down to a lingering heavenly scent. This perfume falls into the same category as my signature scents like Tom Ford's Rose Prick, Lancome's La Nuit Tresor, and Tom Ford's Noir Pour Femme. All of which have spicy, syurpy, incense-like notes. If you're looking for an office friendly, non offensive perfume, this is not your category, but I would recommend this perfume to anyone who wants a new take on a sweet perfume. 

"It’s the perfect mix of a sweet, innocent girl next door, and an absolute vixen. For all of my vanilla lovers out there, this is a seductive warm take on vanilla. I’ve noticed that the trend went from floral, flirty, light perfumes to more intense, deep, and complex notes. I love that people are venturing away from the typical rose and bergamot perfumes and instead pairing their rose with notes like saffron and cedar. There is a new mix of perfumes embodying both masculine notes as well as feminine ones. A vanilla perfume always smells beautiful, but pair vanilla with black pepper, patchouli, or woods and you’re in for a treat. Let your nose take you through adventures of decadence and vice.”

10. Xerjoff La Capitale

"I could never pick one, and with a signature scent, I’m unable to enjoy my fragrance wardrobe, so instead, I prefer the idea of signature notes, which will always meander around oud, sandalwood and vanilla,” explains Nateisha Scott, deputy beauty editor at Harrods. "For that blend alone, I imagine I’ll be heavily rotating Xerjoff’s La Capitale, Guerlain’s Oud Nude, and Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s Oud Satin Mood. All three are rich and warm yet sweet and sophisticated."

"Those that adore sweet and mature fragrances, and those that want to be complimented and stopped in the street will love these. Plus, woody scents are finding a new meaning for their ties to nature and nostalgia. They act as a sense of comfort.”

11. Sana Jardin Tiger by Her Side

"My 2023 signature scent will be Sana Jardin, Tiger By Her Side,” says freelance beauty writer, Kelle Salle. "I tried her Discovery Set recently, and it was the scent that I liked the most because it’s strong, subtle and mood lifting. I feel like I can do anything when I wear it. It’s warm, sensual and long-lasting - I would recommend it to those who like sweet perfumes that aren’t overpowering, but also those who are looking for a fragrance that will make them feel confident and powerful. Sustainability is a huge trend for 2023, and it’s something Sana Jardin pride themselves on - since launching in 2017, their packaging waste has reduced by 63%.”

12. Arabian Oud Sehr Al Kalemat 

"I wanted to share some information about my background as it has shaped the fragrance lover that I am today. I was born and raised in Italy, in a town just outside of Venice. For the past 11 years, I have lived in London, Dubai and now LA. Throughout my time in London and Dubai, I travelled extensively to different parts of the world,” explains Elena Menegaldo, fragrance personal shopper and content creator. "My true passion for fragrances started in Dubai, the moment I stepped off the plane! The very first thing you experience in the airport is a very distinctive smell, the bakhoor in the air mixed with every other scent you can imagine! It's an irresistible cocktail.”

"Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the UAE – they all carry beautiful Arabian scents that are part of the culture and heritage of the region. For 2023, I have chosen an Arabian fragrance as my signature scent. It is my absolute favorite: Sehr Al Kalemat by Arabian Oud. This scent will be with me forever. It’s an addictive, enchanting, heavenly warm amber, with smoky brown sugar vanilla and oud - a combination made in heaven. To me, this fragrance is a masterpiece. Rich and dark, it has an incredible projection and longevity, surely a beast mode scent and absolutely unisex. This is not the classic type of scent, it is definitely suited for adventurous types, those who are not afraid to experiment and are not faint-hearted. You have to love woody and amber tones and a hint of animalic scents.”

13. Ruth Mastenbroek Dagian

"My Dagian fragrance is such a hopeful fragrance, with its bright citrus top notes and heart of orange blossom,” says master perfumer, Ruth Mastenbroek. "After the turmoil of the last few years, I am glad to surround myself with its clear, transparent notes that make me feel honest and calm. It inspired memories of a golden holiday, sipping a mojito while dipping my toes in the warm sand on an island beach. I am looking out at the sun rising, full of hope for the day ahead. Lime and grapefruit combine with mint and a dash of rum in the top, merging into orange blossom and jasmine, while amber notes and sultry sandalwood linger in the background. I’d recommend it to anyone who likes Aqua di Parma, and generally anyone who wears cologne type or fresh floral fragrances, with fresh, citrus top notes and light floral notes on amber base notes.”

14. To the Fairest Order Cosmique

"To The Fairest Ordre Cosmique is a perfume I discovered this year and I've been spritz happy ever since I got my hands on it” says Tori Crowther, freelance beauty editor. It's a small-batch, independent British brand that I think is truly special. This scent (and the brand's other scent Cécile) is definitely one I'm going to be raving about and wearing well into 2023. With top notes of cardamom and bergamot, a heart note of cinnamon, and base notes of cacao pod and musk, it's definitely a woody, traditionally masculine fragrance with a crisp freshness.”

"I'd recommend this to those who gravitate towards the deeper woody, less floral scents. It also comes in a body oil (which, when paired with the fragrance, gives the scent amazing lasting power) and a candle — for those who become truly dedicated to signature scent. What’s more, being able to share it with my boyfriend has been really nice. It's a traditionally "masculine" scent and one that we both adore. We rarely share fragrances so this one feels special.”

15. Blocki Sanrovia

"My signature scent heading into 2023 is a no-brainer. It has to be Sanrovia from a brand called Blocki, which is one of the frag community’s best-kept secrets,” reveals TikTok fragrance content creator, Emelia O’Toole. "Blocki was founded in 1865 by John Blocki and ran until 1950. He was a pioneer of American perfumery—he used to preserve real flowers in bottles of his perfume! In 2015, the Blocki family decided to revamp some of the original scents, added a few new smells to the lineup, and relaunched to the public.”

"All of the scents from this line are truly masterpieces of perfumery, but Sanrovia stopped me dead in my tracks upon first sniff. I bought this back in October and have worn it nearly every day since—it’s that good. Featuring a citrusy triad of lemon, orange, and bergamot at the top, a floral heart of geranium, lavender, jasmine, and rose, and a sweet, balsamic woody base known as a Bois Doux, Sanrovia is really a once-in-twenty-lifetimes scent. I like to describe it as a London fog on a hike in the woods: the bergamot and lavender give it a stunning aromatic, almost sharp, tea-like quality, while the woody base gives it this complex sweetness, depth, and warmth.”

16. Ruth Mastenbroek Oxford

"My go to scent in 2023 will be the Ruth Mastenbroek Oxford fragrance, because of it’s perfect mix of fresh and sweet notes that revitalise and ground me at the same time,” says perfumer Nic Mastenbroek. "It’s like a walk in an exotic garden after a downpour of rain. It has this lovely mixture of freshness and energy which comes especially from the bergamot and basil, and this sultry elegance from the vanilla and amber. It screams sophistication while being deeply personal and refreshing. Try it if you are looking for something off the beaten track, like products made entirely in the UK (which is rare!), and if you love green, herbaceous and ambery fragrances.”

"This year, I've tried to challenge myself more when it comes to fragrance", says contributor, Ata-Owaji Victor. "I've loved wearing and exploring multi-layered scent journeys like the BVLGARI's Allegra collection but now I am steering away from my usual deep musks and towards more complex versions of florals as displayed in this scent. In autumn I always find myself feeling connected to a lighter scent that balances out the introduction of coats and jumpers into my wardrobe."

Even as a beauty editor, I am often stuck in my ways when it comes to my makeup. Whether it’s a day at the office, date night, a work event or an impromptu trip to the pub, it’s almost as if I go into autopilot mode, applying the same look time and time again. First up, my trusty flick with a brown kohl liner (a game changer by the way), then a slick of mascara, a foundation mixed with some kind of glow cream, a bit of bronzer, cream blush, powder, a lip gloss and I’m away. And yes, I always do my eyes first and yes a lot of people find it weird.

When this time of year comes around, however, it’s as if the inner Ru Paul in me awakens and I want it all going on at once. Glitter eyeshadow? All over it. Fake lashes? I’ll take a full and fluttery corner set, please. Oh, and while you're at it, you wouldn’t mind sticking on a few rhinestones? Anywhere will do.

But my favorite beauty product for party season, without a doubt, is an amazing lipstick. Whether it’s a bright red, hot pink, or a glitter extravaganza, there’s just something about a lipstick that can really compliment a festive getup and add a sprinkle of extra to the vibe you're going for. 

With that in mind, here are the best party lipsticks that don’t compromise on comfort, ease of application, staying power, or pigment. You best believe I’m rolling up to the Christmas 'do, Winter Wonderland, my Grandma’s annual festive family gathering and New Years Eve wearing one of them.

Next Up: I've Noticed These 6 Winter Makeup Trends Are Taking Over Already

Jennifer Lopez always looks incredible, but the outfit she wore for a recent appearance on Good Morning America is a moment. The look utilizes one of our favorite tricks to elevate an ensemble: monochrome, baby. Pairing similar shades to create one cohesive look is a simple yet effective way to make any outfit look more expensive. In this case, J.Lo went for all camel.

Worn together, the turtleneck, leggings, and coat (all from the Michael Kors F/W 2022) on Jen pack a seriously chic punch. Any icon knows that it's all in the details, and J.Lo completed her look with a pair of sky-high beige Louboutins and a handbag in a near-matching tone is a no-brainer. A monochrome look works well with any color palette. The only rule? When shopping, try to find shades that are as close as possible for maximum effect. If you can locate a matching set, that's even better. To get you started, I've compiled a few of our favorite monochrome fits below, as well as some basics to get J.Lo's look.

On Jennifer Lopez: Michael Kors Collection Cashmere Leggings ($690), Michael Kors Collection Reefer Wool Coat ($2650), Michael Kors Collection Turtleneck Cashmere Bodysuit ($770), Christian Louboutin So Kate Pumps in Nats ($775), Marina Raphael Micro Riviera Top Handle Bag ($754), Rahaminov Diamonds ring

We also love it without the coat.

This is just monochromatic perfection.

I know, I know—it's hard to concentrate on what Zendaya is wearing when it's taking every ounce of will not to stare at her hand, clasped inside of Tom Holland's. I get it. But once you've gotten your fix of M.J. and Peter Parker out together on an IRL date (right after Valentine's Day no less), we need to discuss the Euphoria actor's low-key and utterly stunning date-night ensemble. That, and how to copy it, of course.

For the couple's night out in NYC, Zendaya wore the basic that I'd bet every single one of us owns at least one of: an oversize, button-down shirt. But she didn't style it in the normal way, like with jeans or a skirt. Rather, she went pantless for the occasion, choosing instead to make her button-down into a dress and pair it with a statement belt; sheer, black tights; and a pair of point-toe Christian Louboutin pumps. Alongside her, Holland wore a black turtleneck with a classic, light-gray suit, thus making them our new pick for best-dressed couple of the year.

To make re-creating Zendaya's look on your next date night a quick and easy task, I went ahead and lined up a bevy of button-down shirt options for you to shop ahead.

Actress Liz Gillies has taken more than one styling cue from her Dynasty character, Fallon Carrington.

"Fallon and I have similar taste, but she definitely goes places that I normally would never go in real life," Gillies explains. "She takes chances that I would not take, but she has influenced my style a lot." 

Prior to working on the show, Gillies only wore black, but that all changed when she started playing Fallon: "I started this show, and that changed really fast. Her fashion sense has definitely impacted me and my choices."

The dramatic coats, dresses, and shoes that Gillies wears on the show are meant to be an extension of her character. "Without these clothes, Fallon would not be the character that she is, and I think I can say that for all of the characters on the show," she says.

As Gillies and the costume designers are picking out Fallon's outfits, they have to take a lot of variables into account. "It's so important that we get it right when we're picking out these outfits," she says. "We're thinking about what kind of mood she'd be in, what the other characters are wearing."

When it comes to her closet, Gillies's character loves to show off. From a bold Gucci suit to more than one vintage-inspired Alessandra Rich dress, Fallon loves to make a statement. 

Speaking of making a statement, one of Gillies's favorite pieces that she's worn on the show is a Monique Lhuillier gown that has a train—yes, a train.

"I was living my '70s fantasy in this dress," she recalls. "I sang 'Leather and Lace' in this dress. A lot of good things happened in this dress."

We're also extremely jealous of the shoe collection that Gillies walked us through, including a pair of Gucci heels that Fallon wore one too many times.

"Fallon would not stop wearing [these] in season one. We wore them too much, and we actually had to retire them because we felt maybe Fallon wouldn't wear the same shoe that many times," she confesses.

One of Gillies's favorite pairs of shoes that her character wore is a pair of bedazzled Christian Louboutin heels that she wore to the ball in Paris in the second season, which she calls one of her favorite pairs of Fallon shoes of all time. 

We can definitely understand why.

Watch the video below to see Gillies walk us through the fictional closet of our dreams!

Shopping for a designer bag is equal parts exciting and stressful. It's an accessory that can be worn again and again (hello, cost per wear!), but there's no denying it can be a punch in the gut when the credit card charge hits your account. If you wish you had a handbag fairy godmother to help decide what styles are worth it, you're in luck. We enlisted Victoria Slane, designer and luxury handbag buyer at Nordstrom to share some insight. Who's better to help guide you than someone who literally buys bags for a living? 

"When I'm selecting an assortment, I like to ask myself, Who is the customer for this? Where are they wearing it? Will they want to pull it out every day or season after season?" Slane tells Who What Wear. (Yeah, a lot of decisions go into merchandising that gorgeous handbag section.) But she says one thing is nonnegotiable: "Spending money on any item should be about what it means to you," says Slane. "Whether it's a tried-and-true bag that's been around for years or a brand-new designer bag on the arm of every influencer, if it makes you happy and you will wear it and enjoy it, it's a good investment."

If you're still unsure where to start, Slane is sharing 20 styles that have a special place in her heart, from current It bags to all-time classics. "Bags that balance iconic elements such as silhouette, hardware, or branding details with emotional elements such as a bold color or interesting fabrication are the perfect balance to me," she says. Keep scrolling for some of her under-$300 picks, too. "As what constitutes 'investment' varies from one person to the next, the most important factors are that the bag functions for your life and that it makes you happy when you carry it," she explains. "This is more important than if a bag is popular or not."

For those seeking a break from bright nail colors and intricate nail art, it may be time for a polish palette cleanser. The answer we go back to time and time again? A go-to neutral. Arguably the most versatile nail color range, neutrals are also a big trend for 2020 (but really, did they ever go away?). By definition, they go with every outfit, so you’ll never have to worry about clashing colors. Plus, they tend to camouflage chips a little better than say, bright red, just in case your next manicure appointment is a little further away than you’d like. 

You can always rely on a neutral for anything from weddings to work. We rounded up 20 of the coolest polishes—from light to dark, shimmery to opaque—for every skin tone, to keep your neutral nail game feeling fresh.

Singer-songwriter Kacey Musgraves kicked off 2019 with a bang, earning six Grammys in February for her album, Golden Hour. Fortunately, Musgraves's momentum was just picking up; the "Butterflies" singer has parlayed her award-winning success into an extremely epic year, including her own Oh, What a World tour, several festival appearances, her memorable Met Gala debut, and the upcoming Kacey Musgraves Christmas Show holiday special premiering on Amazon next week.

Of course, the 30-year-old Texas native used her long-awaited turn in the spotlight not only to experiment with fashion but also to hone her A-list look with help from stylist Erica Cloud. With a year spent wearing It designers from Adam Selman to Zimmerman and Brian Atwood to Giuseppe Zanotti, it's safe to say that Musgraves is heading into the next decade a certified fashion favorite.

Is there anything Jennifer Lopez can't do? Short answer: no. Long answer: of course not!

The 50-year-old superstar first came onto the scene in 1991 as a Fly Girl dancer on the show In Living Color and has continued to build her momentum over the past three decades, adding recording artist, businesswoman, producer, and Golden Globe nominee to her list of professional accolades.

In fact, the Bronx-born multihyphenate had an exceptional 2019 that reflected the gamut of her talents. Not only did she release new music, but she also paid homage to her 2000s-era internet-breaking green chiffon Versace gown by wearing a replica of the original at the designer's Milan Fashion Week show and, most notably, earned rave reviews—and hopefully, an Oscar nomination—as Ramona in the movie Hustlers.

Of course, this banner year provided ample opportunities for J.Lo to show off another of her many talents as the ultimate Who What Wear fashion icon. From the runway to the red carpet, below are 28 of Jennifer Lopez's best style moments from 2019.

Actress Caitriona Balfe’s path to stardom hasn’t exactly been what you’d call traditional. While packing bags for a local charity in her native Ireland, she was scouted by a modeling agent and then made her way to Paris at 19, where she began a modeling career that touched all the major fashion houses. Balfe continued to work in New York City for nearly eight years, but after deciding that modeling wasn’t her true passion, she eventually landed in L.A. to pursue her lifelong dream of acting on-screen.

Fast-forward to 2013 when Starz was casting the coveted role of Claire Fraser for the highly anticipated adaptation of the Outlander series and Balfe was called in after a second look at her audition tape. Thanks to her chemistry test with co-star Sam Heughan, she won the role right before shooting began, which required her to uproot her life in L.A. and move to Scotland. (Well, we did say it wasn’t the most traditional path.)

This November, she’ll be starring alongside Christian Bale and Matt Damon in the upcoming movie, Ford v Ferrari, where she plays Bale’s wife, Mollie, who is an accomplished race car driver in her own right. It’s safe to say her career is about to shift into fifth gear. 

Just like the non-traditional characters she plays, Balfe tends to forge a sometimes unconventional path when it comes to her fashion choices. Whether earning eyebrow raises or applause, these looks have made her a darling of the same fashion houses she walked for back in the day. With that in mind, it makes total sense that she recently began working with A-List stylist Karla Welch, who is known for encouraging her clients to push themselves out of their comfort zones. As Balfe recently told InStyle, "I always say if I love it, then I’m happy. It doesn’t have to be for everyone else.” 

As huge fans of both Balfe’s career and style, we’ve rounded up some of the actress’s most eye-catching looks to date. From bold colors and prints to unique design details (hello, pockets and cutouts!), check them out below and be inspired to think out of your own style box.

There's been no shortage of amazing red carpet moments this summer. First, Beyoncé and Blue Ivy were literally dripping in crystals at The Lion King's L.A. premiere. Then, Tessa Thompson regaled us with risky trend after risky trend during the worldwide Men in Black: International press tour. And most recently, Iman stole the show in a statement-making feather-trimmed Valentino Haute Couture floral dress at the Venice Film Festival.

But summer isn't over just yet. Stylish A-listers are currently walking the red carpet at the 44th Annual Toronto Film Festival, and (spoiler alert) they brought their A-game.

Up next, the most controversial red carpet looks of 2019 (so far).

No offense to Spider-Man, but damn: Mary Jane Watson just stole his spotlight. 

While we haven’t seen Spider-Man: Far From Home yet (yet!), if the worldwide press tour and red carpet premiere are indicative of anything, it’s that Zendaya is the star of the film, and perhaps even summer 2019. Teaming up again with longtime Image Architect, Law Roach, Zendaya has already stepped out in seven gorgeous red carpet outfits that are simultaneously fit for a fashion superstar while also demonstrating that summer trends aren’t limited to a combination of ribbed tanks, tie-dye, and Tevas. 

And, in case you haven’t noticed, Zendaya’s co-star, Tom Holland (aka Peter Parker aka Spider-Man), is also being styled by Roach. Perhaps this is why the dynamic duo looks as compatible on-screen as they do when they are indeed far from home… We especially love how Peter Parker’s glasses and MJ’s signature red hair (hat tips to Toby Maguire and Kirsten Dunst’s early-aughts trilogy for making this an integral moment in pop culture cannon) are incorporated into each red carpet look. If only Law Roch could be our friendly neighborhood stylist!

It's fair to say there is a current global obsession with Meghan Markle, and a large part of that is to do with her wardrobe. The Duchess wears timeless, classic pieces and adds her own stylish flare to everything she steps out in. She favours sustainable brands, and isn't afraid to re-wear her favourite pieces over and over again—as we saw on her recent Australian tour.

When it comes to sale-shopping, it's a good idea to keep in mind the pieces Meghan Markle herself (or her team of stylists) would buy. Below, we've rounded up 15 pieces currently marked down in the Cyber Monday sales we just know Meghan would get excited over. Keep scrolling, and shop these royal-inspired, classic items while they're still on sale.

Blake Lively has never not impressed us with her fashion choices. Whether it's mastering three outfit changes within a matter of hours (fashion marathoning at its finest) or perfecting the art of high-low dressing, she always manages to leave us in complete awe with her fun, unique, and oftentimes quirky ensembles. Her latest look? Proof, yet again, that Lively can work any trend.

Last night, the actress stepped out for the New York City screening of Final Portrait looking as stylish as ever in a trendy Monse gingham midi dress (which has, unfortunately, already sold out). But what really caught our attention was her choice in footwear—a pair of black Christian Louboutin pumps that featured the most interesting bubble detailing along the straps (hence the name "bubble shoes.")

While we haven't seen many heels like this before, we have a feeling Lively just made these fun bubbly shoes the next big red carpet trend. Read on to see her complete look, and then shop the shoes for yourself.

On Blake Lively: Monse midi dress; Christian Louboutin Atonana Patent Strappy Sandal ($1095)

If it were up to us, we would share a closet with Olivia Palermo in a second. Consistently striking the perfect balance between classic and modern, feminine and cool, her looks are spot-on every time. Over the years, she has even developed a signature style that remains true to her personal aesthetic. The best part about it? While she’s always stepping out in cool new looks, she has a tendency to re-wear her favourite pieces—meaning we can reliably look to her to see various tricks for styling her closet staples.

Olivia Palermo’s street style always draws our eye, but some of her iconic looks are among our favourites. In some, she demonstrates a mastery of mixing high and low, while others are showstopping, head-to-toe couture. There’s no question that she’s one of our favourite style icons, but what are her best looks ever?

2018 is already shaping up to be a big year for Kendall Jenner, with the model and reality TV star stepping out on the Golden Globes red carpet for the first time. POPSUGAR Australia points out that it's not quite clear why she was in attendance, but her stylist, Marni Senofonte certainly made sure she stood out. 

Jenner showed her support for the #TimesUp movement at the 75th annual Golden Globe awards, in a black Giambattista Valli mullet dress (are we doing this again?) and Christian Louboutin heels. The dress is quite dramatic, but we love the way she balanced it out by keeping her hair and makeup relatively simple.

As we all know by now, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley never shows up at the airport looking less than her best. The model and actress is renowned for her jet-setting style, and although we couldn't admire it more, sometimes it's not as, ahem, comfortable, as typical travel attire. (Stilettos and curve-hugging silhouettes are not uncommon for the star.) Recently, Rosie stepped out in a look that does check the comfort box thanks to one key piece: a robe coat.

Collarless and devoid of any detailing (save for a ribbon tie at the waist), her Isabel Marant coat is basically the sartorial version of a hug. But thanks to a minimalist design, it's also incredibly chic. Rely on this style as a throw-on-and-go solution to instantly pulling together a chic, flight-friendly outfit.

On Rosie Huntington-Whiteley: Isabel Marant coat; Céline sunglasses; Saint Laurent Sac de Jour Tote ($3490); Christian Louboutin Moulamax Boots ($945, available in petrol)

What does a Christian Louboutin and Star Wars collab look like, you may wonder? Well, you're about to find out. Today in unlikely fashion pairings, one of our favorite luxury shoe brands has teamed up with the biggest movie release of the year, and the result is some major eye candy (that's also for a good cause). 

"Disney's call regarding Star Wars was completely unexpected and surprised me," Christain Louboutin said in a statement. "But I like surprises and this one particularly intrigued me! At first sight, the Star Wars universe and mine seemed far away from one another, but when I saw the pictures of the red planet Crait, I instantly understood where it connected and why they had thought of me. Strong ideas and images spontaneously came to my mind." 

Louboutin designed four shoes inspired by four characters from Star Wars: The Last Jedi, including Daisy Ridley's Rey and Laura Dern's Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo. The best part? The shoes are being auctioned off on Charity Buzz to benefit the Starlight Children's Foundation, which aids hospitalized children.

Yellow is having a moment (take Blake Lively's two-piece set as proof if you don't believe us), as are princess-inspired looks. And it seems model Gigi Hadid is leading the pact in this trend, something we started noticing after she lost a shoe before walking the Anna Sui show during New York Fashion Week (sounds sort of like a Cinderella moment, doesn't it?)

When Gigi stepped out for Bella Hadid's 21st birthday party, she wore a baby blue bustier and matching pants that looked like a modern take on Cinderella's blue ball gown. And now, she's done it again, this time channeling a new Disney princess while out in New York City in support of Blake Lively's latest film, All I See Is You. 

Gigi stunned in an embellished yellow Prabal Gurung gown (which has, unsurprisingly, already sold out) that radiated serious Princess Belle vibes, which she paired with matching Christian Louboutin pumps. She pulled her hair into a tight updo, revealing a pair of oversize gold earrings that, yet again, alluded back to Belle. 

It's safe to say Gigi has officially mastered the art of dressing like a modern day Disney princess. Now, let's see which one she decides to channel next (and if these looks are any indication of what she'll be dressing up as for Halloween).

If I had to choose one word to describe Angelina Jolie's style, it would be consistent. For starters, she is incredibly loyal to understated colors such as black, white, and tan. She's also a staunch advocate for a structured handbag and a pair of oversize sunglasses. When it comes to her footwear, you can bet she's just as predictable. Instead of the latest shoe trends, you can reliably find her wearing nude pointy-toe pumps no matter the occasion.

Case in point: the newest outfit she wore for a shopping trip at The Grove in Los Angeles. She wore a black midi dress with a matching coat along with a Celine Clasp Bag. While I personally might have chosen a pair of sneakers for a mall excursion, Jolie opted for her favorite posh shoes by Christian Louboutin.

Trends come and go from season to season. No matter how long ago they began, or for however long they've been on the "outs," we can safely assume that the styles your mom or even grandma considered a must will return to favor again, no matter how much you make fun of the photos now. Currently, that trend is fishnets.

From the streets to the runway, to Instagram, fishnet has transformed from a simple pair of tights to a layering piece that's completely versatile. Not only have stockings been worn under just about everything, but fishnet has found its way to other styles of clothing, too. But where did it all begin? Below we're highlighting the journey fishnets have taken to become a defining trend of 2017. From a little bit of their early history to their reemergence over the past few seasons, we're breaking it all down below.

Read on for a look, and shop the trend.

Fishnet tights can be traced all the way back to the end of the 19th century. Women during the Victorian era did not reveal their legs in public, but as the world began to change, so did women's wardrobes.

Fishnet stockings became a trend among showgirls and flappers in the U.S. during the 1920s. While they were not considered "mainstream," their popularity grew among a certain more "modern" crowd.

Through the later part of the 20th century, fishnets gained momentum, becoming a staple among the punk crowd of the '70s, the grunge of the '90s, and let's not forget Madonna.

Fishnets tend to spring up on one runway or another from season to season, but in 2016, fishnets started to catch on in new and unexpected ways.

On the streets of fashion week this past fall, style stars used fishnets to add a little extra edge to their ensembles.

From Instagram to the streets, it became a popular choice to let fishnets peek out from under a pair of jeans.

Now, fishnet tights are a key layering piece for 2017, but fishnet tops, dresses, and more have entered the mainstream, too.

In the upcoming Beauty and the Beast film, Emma Watson plays the independent, headstrong, and thoughtful Belle. In real life, Emma is equally inspiring, championing women's rights through He for She, and promoting sustainable fashion through her new Instagram endeavor, @the_press_tour. Emma is taking the opportunity to share the details about her BATB tour outfits, noting how each piece is made and raising awareness about eco-friendly clothing.

And while we've all been following along on her latest tour, we must note that we've had a longstanding love for Emma's red carpet looks. With the help of stylist Sarah Slutsky, Emma has never shied away from the unexpected, swapping gowns for cool trousers, or picking a dress with heart-stopping details. 

She may be just 26, but Watson is already offering up major inspiration both on the red carpet and in life. Read on for a look at Emma Watson's best red carpet style moments!

Miranda Kerr isn’t one to shy away from a figure-hugging party dress, and last night for the unveiling of the latest Jaguar Concept car in Los Angeles was no different. Kerr stepped out in a white David Koma cut-out dress—which felt super modern with the detailed neckline (you’ll see what we mean)—and a pair of studded metallic Christian Louboutin heels.

If the thought of tackling party season makes you feel a little anxious (DW, us too), then our advice is to splurge on the shoes instead. A heavily embellished pair of shoes will make last season’s dress feel brand new, or similarly, will dress up a pair of sleek pants and camisole for a cocktail party dress code.

What do you get when you mix a prestigious accessories brand with a cult ’90s TV show? Christian Louboutin's new ShoePeaks Clutch, of course. Inspired by Twin Peaks, the artsy minaudière incorporates the iconic red soles of the brand’s So Kate pointy-toe pumps. We couldn’t think of a better fashion and pop culture matchup.

So how exactly did the show inspire the design? “Born under the influence of Christian’s fetishistic 2007 collaboration with visionary David Lynch, ShoePeaks takes its name from Lynch’s ’90s cult TV series Twin Peaks,” the brand explained in a press release. “Brimming with a duality not unlike the double life led by the show’s starlet Laura Palmer, the minaudière melds two iconic So Kate shoes into one seamless objet d’art that is both an extraordinary, surrealistic sculpture and a functional clutch.” Dying to see what it looks like? Scroll down for a peek at the stunner.

When you're thinking about the value of an item of clothing, you often think about the cost per wear. The more versatile an item is, the more it's worth, right? Well, one of our favorite stylish celebs just showed us a totally new way to style an item you probably have hanging in your closet right now. In other words, we just increased the number of times you can wear it without spending a dime.

Here's the trick: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley just provided us a whole new way to style a button-down shirt. For the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund luncheon this week, the model donned a Monse look that featured a collared white blouse draped carefully off of one shoulder, like if you unbuttoned a shirt and let it hang loosely off one side. Of course, this particular piece was styled like this on the runway and for her ensemble, but a similar look is easily achievable with any buttoned blouse you might already own. It's a genius way to take an outfit from work to drinks. Simply wear it buttoned down with trousers or a nice skirt by day, and then slouch it down over one shoulder at night to show a bit of skin. Voilà! In one simple step, your button-down can take on a whole new life.

Alessandra Ambrosio knew she’d be too busy enjoying the Olympic festivities to worry about every detail on every outfit during her visit. The stylish model packed smart for her trip to Brazil, choosing to bring along a pair of nude Christian Louboutin sandals as her go-to heels for the week.

Ambrosio proved that the designer shoes are as versatile as they get, and just this week alone, we’ve seen her wear them with everything from a casual maxi dress to a red carpet ensemble. Not to mention that 3.3-inch heels, while admittedly on the higher end of heel heights, are still sensible, and the adjustable straps add to their comfort level. Plus, you really can’t go wrong with neutral-colored shoes. The supermodel knew what she was doing when she brought these go-with-everything sandals to Rio, and the results were effortlessly stylish.

The data is in, and the popularity of culottes is seriously waning. Retailers aren’t stocking the style, and certain industry experts such as Leandra Medine have been over the look since February. So what’s next? We’re feeling the wide-leg denim silhouette Kate Bosworth often wears and has many versions of. Consider these a longer cousin of culottes. The style feels particularly fresh, even compared to other options like flares and straight-leg denim.

On Kate Bosworth: Céline sunglasses; Citizens of Humanity Abigail High-Rise Wide-Leg Jeans (£153); Prada bag; Christian Louboutin Laperouza Embroidered Leather Loafers (£595).

Obviously, not every woman's skin colour conforms to what's typically considered "nude," and Christian Louboutin decided to do something about it. From porcelain to deep chocolate, the brand has created nude shoes in seven different hues to match a much wider range of skin tones. We're totally inspired by the inclusivity of this collection—because, let's face it, no one should miss out on the leg-lengthening power of a nude shoe.

When I go shopping, it’s in jeans (but they’re Acne Studios!) and a tee, but when you’re Blake Lively, things are a little different. This morning, Blake (basically Serena van der Woodsen IRL) stepped out for a quick spot of shopping in New York City wearing a Michael Kors Collection 3D floral appliqué gown and studded Christian Louboutin heels. And you know what? She looks like absolute perfection. Getting ‘dressed up’ makes you feel good, so I’m taking a leaf out of Serena's book… I mean Blake's! And when I hit Glenmore Road in Paddington this weekend for some shopping, I’m getting out of my jeans and into something a little more special.

While we all know exactly what spring racing is and what we should wear, the polo has been a bit more of an enigma in Australia—but it’s becoming an event on the social calendar that can’t be ignored (or missed). Ahead of the Jeep Portsea Polo in Victoria this weekend (AKA an opportunity to dress up in your finest and be fancy), we asked Anna Bamford—face of the 2016 Jeep Portsea Polo Marquee—to select her top 14 shoes to wear to the polo and how she approaches the fashions.

“Polo is all about an effortless summery look. I think it is a chance to have some fun and be creative with a daytime outfit. The polo is more of a casual event, but it’s always great to add a little extra to your look with a great pair of shoes, a hat or bag.”

One of the coolest trends of summer is moving straight into fall. Swap out your lace-up sandals for lace-up heels, boots, and the like.

What’s on point for fall? Power pumps with unique designs. Let these become your signature shoes, as they’ll step up even the simplest of outfits.

Add high shine to any look by slipping on a pair of shoes with metallic flair.

File this one away under the best/most hilarious news you’ll hear all day: A Condé Nast employee’s Christian Louboutin heel got stuck in the escalators at the Vogue parent company’s headquarters today, causing a halt in the machinery’s operations. The Internet swiftly spazzed, because only at Vogue would a Christian Louboutin heel ever cause such strife.

Condé Nast director of talent acquisition Katie Turrel shared the sparkling gem of information with the world via her Instagram, and for this we thank her. Of course, this could have been a more serious accident: If the heel’s owner had been wearing a strapped-on version of the shoe, she might have been seriously injured. Luckily, she opted for Louboutin’s classic So Kate pumps, which easily slide on and off.

We’re super happy no one was hurt, but we also have to confess that we find this hilarious. At no other company would a fashion shoe cause such a faux catastrophe. Keep scrolling to see photos of the incident now and to shop our favourite Louboutins too!
