As a manicure-obsessed beauty editor, there's nothing that excites me more than a fresh set. I spend hours scrolling on Pinterest and sifting through my favorite nail artists' social media posts to see which image I should recreate next—whether a glitchy mismatched set or stunning single-polish paint job—but it recently dawned on me that most of my saved photos were shot across the pond.

If you looked through my phone, you'd see a camera roll peppered with snaps of Dua Lipa's trend-setting manis, crafted by London-based celebrity manicurist Michelle Humphrey, or the detailed work of Milan-based nail artist Oksana Zavora, who creates intricate sets directly inspired by fashion trends and timely runways. Though I still find inspiration in trendy American celebs, my taste tends to favor those overseas—so I asked top European manicurists what their stylish clientele have been requesting these days.

"Nail trends constantly evolve, but at the moment, London nails tend to feel more understated, individual, and fashion-led, often with shorter, more natural shapes," Humphrey tells Who What Wear. Fellow Brit (and celebrity manicurist) Imarni Ashman adds that European nail trends often center around "immaculate nail preparation," texture, and high-quality finishes. However, both artists agree that the U.S. approaches manicures in a slightly more extreme fashion. "American trends often embrace longer lengths [and] bolder colours and designs—think Hailey Bieber and Kylie Jenner," says Ashman. "Although this is not always gospel!" Humphrey adds.

6 Summer Nail Trends Dominating in Europe This Summer

Chiffon Shades

If there's one trend that unites the American and European nail scene, it's the milky manicure trend. "Sheer, glossy colours have been huge—from milky nudes to bright jelly shades," says Hughes. From translucent polishes to barely there soap nails, this reigning trend embraces hues that are closer to gauzy layers of chiffon than pigmented polish. "Sheer nude nails that look healthy, glossy, and expensive are still one of the most requested looks," Humphrey adds. "The clean girl aesthetic prevails!"

Shop Chiffon Shades

Summer Goth

After seeing It girls like Suki Waterhouse and Lipa rock black nails in the middle of summer (Summerween nails, some may call them), I knew we had a chic seasonal trend on our hands. Humphrey confirms my theory by calling out Essie's Like it Loud as a great color for summer 2026—an inkblot shade that, ironically, goes great with a tan. Ashman agrees, adding that other gothic hues like black cherry are equally striking in the summertime. "A tan with a deep black-red looks very chic," she notes. "I’ve created similar looks on Lily Collins and Lily Allen this summer."

Shop Summer Goth Polishes

Ethereal Dimension

American tastemakers may still be on the glazed-donut chrome manicure wave, but Europeans have graduated to sets that look a bit more dimensional. "Cat eye nails have become a staple," Humphrey croons. These metallic polishes develop a sparkling finish when put in close contact with magnets, giving the color a spatial effect that looks deep and futuristic. To take things up a notch, try pairing a cat eye base with eye-catching pill box art like Ashman's trendy set above.

Shop Cat Eye Nail Products

Kaleidoscope Claws

Whether buttery pastel hues, vibrant primary colors, or captivating animal prints, Humphrey is getting a lot of requests for mix-and-match designs in her chair. Whether it's combining a cheetah-print French tip with 3D gemstones for Olivia Dean or an every-nail-is-different kaleidoscope of color, Humphrey agrees that "mismatched manicures" have been going steady this summer. It's the indecisive beauty lover's dream to not pick one, but them all.

Shop Mismatched Nail Sets

Juicy Jelly

"For the more maximalist clients, I’m getting requests for juicy jelly shades—particularly reds [and] pinks," says Humphrey. These vibrant, semi-sheer hues were trending with a similar fervor last year thanks to a healthy heap of nostalgia—the sticky-sweet colors reminding us of popsicles melting under the blazing sun and sorbet-stained lips. For a "juicy glow," Humphrey recommends Essie's Cin Cin (a glassy cool-toned pink) or Highballer for a punchy raspberry sheen.

Shop Jelly Nail Polishes

Delicate Designs

Ashman says that meticulously curated designs—ones that toe the line between minimal and maximalist—are the sweet spot for a fashionable European this summer. The manicurist spotlights sets that utilize "negative space with immaculate prep" and simple designs, like this recent lace-inspired look she created on Iris Law. "I love creating designs with her," Ashman quips. "They always look effortlessly cool."

It's still July, and while we're grateful to be enveloped in warmth, we're also looking forward to fall layers. In fact, fashion people are already teasing fall trends to try. For example, Dua Lipa just stepped out in a fall-friendly outfit utilizing the perfect jacket—with a twist. Her main layer wasn't black or brown, colors often associated with fall and winter. Instead, it was a bold, head-turning hue: bright red.

Dua Lipa wore a pair of baggy jeans tucked into her black Ann Demeulemeester boots and layered a red jacket by Polo Ralph Lauren over a white button-down. She accessorized with a matching red bandana, black sunglasses, and an Hermès Birkin bag. This look is the perfect example of a colorful fall outfit that isn't cheesy. While a black or brown jacket would still look chic and put-together, a pop of red is the eye-catching detail needed to elevate a look even further.

Don't default to Sambas. If you're investing in a new pair of trainers this summer, there are much cooler styles to step into. Case in point: Dua Lipa, who was spotted this week styling track pants and a vivid green T-shirt with one of the season's most covetable sneaker collaborations.

Choosing the Completed Works X Asics GEL KAYANO™ 20 Black Flower Sneakers (£225), Dua skipped the low-profile trainer trend that's dominated for the past few years in favour of a fresher silhouette. Whilst Sambas earned cult status for their understated, goes-with-everything energy, Dua's pair, set on a chunkier sole, leans more sculptural, whilst the black rendering keeps its wearbility in tact.

Complete with beaded floral embellishments, the intricate detailing lends the trainers a softer, summery feel without introducing bold colour. And while the floral accents add personality, the dark colour palette keeps the design feeling modern and timeless. Dua styled hers with sporty track pants, but I can easily picture them with straight-leg jeans or even track shorts for an easy, London-ready summer outfit.

Unsurprisingly, Dua's exact pair is close to selling out, but there are plenty of black trainers that channel the same mood. Scroll on to shop my edit of the best styles below.

While it's easy to assume that there's a line between your summer and fall wardrobes, the best dressed people know that the two can happily coexist for those in-between months of August and September—provided you know how to style the pieces together. Today, we're getting a master class in transitional dressing by none other Dua Lipa, whose most recent outfit consisting of a polka-dot halter dress from Réalisation and black knee-high boots is a great example of how chic people will be getting dressed next month.

Lipa was spotted heading into NYC's famed Electric Lady Studios for the zillionth time this week, prompting fans to speculate about a fourth studio album in the making. While most of us would think to pair a pretty polka-dot dress with ballet flats or flip-flops, the pop star's simple shoe swap is actually kind of genius because it can extend the shelf life of all your prettiest dresses into the fall. She opted for a classic pair of black leather knee-high boots, a style that keeps returning year after year.

Ahead, see how Dua Lipa styled the season's biggest dress trend with boots and shop polka-dot dresses and knee-high boots to replicate her summer-to-fall look.

Not to be speculative, but it appears that there may be new Dua Lipa music in the works, as she's been spotted coming and going from Electric Lady Studios in NYC quite a lot recently. Time will tell, but I'm here to talk about one of her latest outfits for an alleged recording session that included jeans and an accessible, classic basic that she made look quite trendy.

We're going to be transitioning from summer to fall before we know it, and adding pieces to your wardrobe that work for both seasons sooner rather than later would be wise. One that I'm recommending is a bit specific, but that makes it even cooler. It's a Polo Ralph Lauren button-down shirt, which Lipa chose in black linen and wore unbuttoned over a black tank, pairing it with low-rise jeans and black pointed-toe boots. It's an incredibly versatile piece that you could feasibly wear over a swimsuit now and layered under a V-neck sweater later. It also comes in a million fabrics, colors, and classic prints, but you can't go wrong with Lipa's black version with the signature Polo logo in white. Scroll on to shop hers and a handful of other iterations to wear again and again.

I monitor trends for a living, and right now it feels like everywhere I look, I find flip-flops. Whether it's rubber pairs for Euro-summer beachside afternoons or sleek leather styles elevated with a kitten heel, you'd be hard-pressed to step into any fashion crowd without spotting this season's favourite sandal.

That's exactly why I take even more notice whenever someone opts for something different. And this weekend, Dua Lipa did just that. Stepping out to watch the World Cup final, she bypassed the ubiquitous flip-flop trend, instead styling her straight-leg jeans with what is, in my opinion, an even more elegant alternative.

Rendered in an eternally chic snakeskin finish, Dua's low-heeled, closed-toe shoes brought polish to her otherwise casual outfit. She tempered the dressier feel of the printed shoes with relaxed straight-leg jeans, a white halterneck top and a white baseball cap. Tucked under her arm sat Chanel's 25 bag, whilst husband Callum Turner strode by her side.

Whilst leopard print has enjoyed seasons in the spotlight and cow print has had its own moment, too, snakeskin has never reached overexposed status. As such, it's retained a timeless quality that makes it feel just as relevant now as ever.

So, if you're not sold on this season's toe-baring shoe trend, consider this your cue to try a closed-toe alternative instead in this timeless print instead. Keep scrolling to discover my edit of the best snakeskin shoes, plus the straight-leg jeans to wear them with.

Always one styling step ahead, I just spotted Dua Lipa out and about in the autumn shoe trend that's set to dominate in just a few weeks' time. Stepping away from the flip-flops and barely-there sandals we've all been living in for the past few months, she instead reached for their antithesis: a pair of knee-high biker boots.

Poised to become one of autumn's biggest shoe trends, biker boots bring a slightly grungy edge to an outfit, which Dua put to work by pairing with a series of light, floaty dresses this week.

Spotted in the new-season pairing, not one, but twice, Dua first styled her Miu Miu Leather Biker Boots (£1890) with Marant Etoile's Preya Embroidered Cotton Minidress (£520), embracing the summer's white cotton minidress trend, all the while nodding to the autumn shoe trend that's yet to come. The chunky Miu Miu boots anchored the lightness of the dress, creating the transeasonal contrast that fashion people return to every year as the seasons begin to shift.

Later in the week, she returned to her Miu Miu boots, pairing them with a black lace-trim slip dress. Finished with a bandana tied over her hair and oversized bug-eye sunglasses, she created exactly the kind of transseasonal outfit I'll be recreating as soon as temperatures begin to dip.

As ever, Dua is a step ahead of the rest. If you're already planning your autumn wardrobe, scroll on to shop the best dresses and biker boots to recreate her looks below.

A closet full of quality basics goes a long way, no matter the season. Whether it's a simple pair of trousers or jeans to wear with tank tops and T-shirts, the styling options are versatile and endless. However, the fashion set has turned its head to a trendier bottom trend to wear with tank tops and tees, and Dua Lipa's recent look is the perfect example.

While out in NYC, Lipa was spotted wearing a pair of trousers from Helsa with a chic twist: a skirt attachment. She kept it simple by styling her pants with a plain black tank top. Accessories were also kept to a minimum—black Gucci sunglasses and, for a pop of color, a pair of very Carrie Bradshaw–coded yellow polka-dot heels by Jimmy Choo. If you ask me, her tank top looked much cooler with these trendy bottoms than it would with a pair of plain jeans or regular trousers. The effortless layered detail adds some movement and texture to her outfit, which is all you really need to dress cooler.

If you want to keep jeans in your summer rotation, then you'll appreciate the chic denim-and-sandals pairing I just spotted in New York. Stepping out in the city, Dua Lipa styled a classic pair of straight-leg stovepipe jeans with black leather flip-flops, bringing an effortlessly cool, '90s-inspired energy into her low-key look.

Building on her understated foundation, Dua layered a black tank top beneath a white button-down shirt, finishing the look with oversized black sunglasses and a roomy black leather shoulder bag, creating an unfussy but polished summer outfit that's so easy to recreate.

Whilst ballet flats will always look chic with jeans, this latest heatwave makes the pairing feel a little impractical. Instead, open-toe leather flip-flops have become the summer shoe of choice. More refined than the chunky fisherman sandals that have dominated the past few summers, this pared-back style works particularly well with this season's slimmer jean silhouettes, creating a sleek, warm-weather outfit that you can keep coming back to.

We're all well aware that cutoff jean shorts are a bit of a polarizing thing in this day and age, but when paired with elevated pieces, dated they are not, and I say this with conviction. If you're skeptical, I have a recent Dua Lipa outfit to present to you that proves my point.

Dua Lipa was in NYC last week and spotted exiting Electric Lady Studios. Her outfit for the recording session (just a guess that's what she was doing there) was casual, but it included thoughtful touches that made it look cool—cutoff denim shorts and all. The two pieces, in particular, that made a significant impact on the outfit were the white long-sleeve T-shirt, a basic trend that fellow It girls such as Hailey Bieber are embracing in 2026, and her ballet flats. The shoes were Chanel's Coco Beach 2026 ballet flats, to be exact, a beloved style that the fashion house wisely brought back from the archives. As expected, fashion people are clamoring for the oversize logo–emblazoned leather flats.

Bikini season is officially on, making now the perfect time to be up to date on the trending silhouettes so you can refresh your summer wardrobe and enjoy the long, sun-soaked days in style. This year's bikini trends offer something for every person, from bikini shorts for the sporty dresser to embellished silhouettes for the maximalist dresser.

However, that's not all to look forward to this summer. If you ask the vacation queen, Dua Lipa, what bikini style is on-trend, her answer wouldn't be any of the above. Instead, it would probably be the lingerie-inspired design—a lace-trim bikini. How do we know? While honeymooning in Italy, specifically at Hotel Il Pellicano, Lipa was seen in an image sitting seaside playing a card game. For the occasion, she wore a yellow bikini with hot-pink lace trim.

On Dua Lipa: Mars The Label The Taliyah Bikini ($70)

The romantic trend of lace trimming has been having a moment in fashion for a little while now. Last summer, we saw it take hold in satin shorts, specifically the viral pair from Dôen. This spring, it was seen on everything from slip dresses and midi skirts to pant-and-camisole sets. And now it's on bikinis, proving that the lace-trim trend is not slowing down anytime soon.

Dua Lipa is back at work, but she's still wearing bridal white. Last month, she married Callum Turner in a town hall wedding in London, followed by a bigger bash in Sicily. The newlyweds then took a fabulous Italian honeymoon tour, staying at a slew of the chicest hotels in Italy, all of which my colleague expertly identified for you. All good things must come to an end, however. Dua and Callum were photographed deplaning at JFK yesterday, and the singer quickly got back to work today at Electric Lady Studios.

For her post-honeymoon return to work, Dua wore a Chloé Gold-Tone and Leather Necklace ($1230) and Paddington Bag ($2750) with a Bulgari B.Zero1 Ring ($3850), Chrome Hearts belt, and Christian Louboutin 100mm Me Dolly Patent Sandals ($945). No doubt the transition from honeymoon bikinis and flip-flops to city-ready jeans and elegant heeled peep-toe mules wasn't the easiest change to make, but it had to be done—in style, of course.

Something that meteorologists call a heat dome is headed for the East Coast later this week, and I, for one, will be daydreaming about fall clothes to get through it. If you ask me, it's not too soon to start thinking about what you're going to wear next season, especially since retailers have already started hinting at autumn in their new-arrivals sections. So what does this have to do with Dua Lipa? Well, her Italian honeymoon with Callum Turner has been fun to follow over the past couple of weeks, as she's been documenting it on Instagram, but all good things must come to an end, and the couple just landed at JFK. For now, they've traded vacation attire for airport attire, as they were both spotted wearing outfits that you'd be more likely to wear in September or October.

For the long-haul flight, Dua Lipa chose an outfit that included a button-down shirt layered over a white T-shirt, along with straight-leg jeans, black leather boots with an ultra-high heel, and a logo baseball cap. It made for the perfect travel outfit (well, maybe with a shoe swap) despite it being summer, as it always feels like winter in most airports and planes. Aside from that, it's a classic go-to outfit combination to keep in mind for those transitional summer-to-fall days that will eventually come.

Nobody is having a better summer than Dua Lipa, and that's a fact. On the heels of her stunning weekend-long wedding to Callum Turner that took place at an 18th-century hilltop mansion in Palermo, Sicily, the pop star has been doing what she does best: vacationing like it's her full-time job. For their honeymoon, the newlyweds have eschewed the traditional single-destination itinerary for a road trip throughout Sicily and mainland Italy, and naturally, that includes stops at some of the most renowned and sought-after hotels.

The couple has been spotted swimming, sunning, and sightseeing all over the map on what's surely set to define romantic getaways for the foreseeable future. Thanks to the enviable photo gallery that Lipa just uploaded, we're getting even more glimpses inside their seemingly never-ending vacation—including, importantly, the stunning hotels they're staying at along the way.

We're detailing every address where Lipa and Turner have stayed on their dream Italian honeymoon, from the famed Hotel Il Pellicano, where Slim Aarons captured some of his most well-known images, to the villa in southern Italy that's owned by filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola.

Every Hotel Dua Lipa and Callum Turner Visited on Their Honeymoon in Italy

Hotel Il Pellicano

Where: Porto Ercole, Grosseto

Lipa and Turner have most recently been spotted sunbathing on one of the iconic yellow striped loungers at the Hotel Il Pellicano. It was originally created as a private hideaway in 1950 by a young American couple before becoming the backdrop to many of Slim Aarons' most-recognized photos, making the cliffside resort an idyllic destination for a romantic holiday. The guest list alone is heavily star-studded, including everyone from Jackie Kennedy to Sophia Loren.

Mezzatorre Hotel & Thermal Spa

Where: Ischia

A sister property of the Hotel Il Pellicano, the Mezzatorre Hotel & Thermal Spa is another iconic spot that's been beloved by the fashion set for years. Set on the island of Ischia (Capri's more low-key neighbor), the hotel is drenched in an aura of 1950s glamour. But the main event is arguably the hotel's sprawling terrace which is best enjoyed with a negroni at sunset.

Villa Treville

Where: Positano, Amalfi

The Amalfi Coast is well-treaded territory, but the stunning Villa Treville is still one of the area's best-kept secrets made up of just 16 suites and a private beach club, giving the resort an air of exclusivity that has attracted many A-listers over the years including Elizabeth Taylor and Jennifer Lopez.

Hotel Locarno

Where: Rome

Hotel Locarno is charming boutique hotel tucked away on a quiet road just off the Piazza del Popolo but adjacent to all the best luxury shopping on Via Condotti. It's a favorite among tastemakers, fashion editors, and now pop stars for its 1920s Art Deco style.

La Posta Vecchia

Where: Palo Laziale, Lazio

Just a 40-minute drive from Rome sits La Posta Vecchia, an historic 17th-century villa that was once the private seaside mansion of billionaire J. Paul Getty. It's also the sister property of Il Pellicano and was featured in an episode of Emily in Paris season 5.

Palazzo Margherita

Where: Bernalda, Basilicata

Situated in the southern region of Basilicata at the arch of Italy's heeled boot is Palazzo Margherita, a lush hideaway restored and owned by filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola. Lipa posted images diving onto her perfectly-made-up bed at the villa and a screening of the 1948 Italian neorealist film Bicycle Thieves played from a projector onto one of the hotel walls.

Villa Paola

Where: Tropea

Leave it to this It couple to find the coolest under-the-radar hotels. After their jaunt across Sicily, the pair continued their romantic road trip up through the toe of Italy's boot with a stop in Tropea at the 16th Century-era Villa Paola. The villa, which houses just fourteen bedrooms, was originally part of a Franciscan convent and has just reopened this spring after a renovation project.

San Domenico Palace, A Four Seasons Hotel

Where: Taormina, Sicily

The wedding festivities began in Palermo, and shortly after the pair departed for their first stop in Taormina on the eastern coast of Sicily, specifically to stay at San Domenico Palace, a Four Seasons Hotel. The 5-star stay rose to fame as the filming location for Season 2 of The White Lotus, and it's build in a restored 14th-century convent with sweeping views of the Ionian Sea and Mount Etna.

For a long time, bridal fashion felt pretty straightforward: a big white dress, a dramatic train, and a venue grand enough to match. But as more couples opt for intimate weddings, destination elopements, courthouse ceremonies, and backyard celebrations, the bridal style landscape is looking a lot more interesting.

After recently eloping in a suit rather than a wedding dress, I've become increasingly fascinated by the evolution of bridal style. Brides today aren't necessarily building their look around tradition. They're building it around the experience. The all-white bridal outfit is becoming an extension of the setting itself, resulting in bridal fashion that feels more personal, creative, and individual than ever.

In 2026, brides are increasingly moving away from the expectation of a classic ball gown in favor of pieces that feel more aligned with their personal style. Think sleek slip dresses, chic matching sets, and romantic minis that feel fashion-forward without taking themselves too seriously. The goal isn't necessarily to look like a bride in the traditional sense. It's to feel like the best version of yourself on one of the most memorable days of your life.

Without the constraints of a traditional wedding setting, brides are having fun with fashion. Maybe that's why some of the most inspiring bridal looks right now aren't happening in grand ballrooms at all.

If you're planning an elopement in 2026, consider this your sign to skip the poofy skirt and embrace something unexpected. Ahead, discover the chic elopement outfit formulas redefining what bridal style looks like this year.

God really does take everything a girl wants, doubles it, and gives it to Dua Lipa. That's how the internet joke goes but honestly it's true. After serving us the chicest wedding inspiration of the year, Dua headed off to her honeymoon, wearing the kind of summer wardrobe we've been dreaming of.

One outfit we haven't been able to stop thinking about was featured in a selfie of one of Lipa's now iconic vacation carousel photo dumps. While somewhere in Italy, Lipa opted for a Isabel Marant navy sequin tank top with jeans and a Bvlgari Serpenti Seduttori watch.

It's a simple look but also serves as a reminder that wardrobe staples can still be fun. A white tank top and jeans is a classic outfit but it doesn't feel special enough to pack for Euro summer. A sequin tank top on the other hand, feels like a wearable disco ball. Here's to hoping packing one makes our vacation look as fabulous as Lipa's.

Congratulations are in order. After officially tying the knot at London's Old Marylebone Town Hall a few weeks ago—where the bride wore a custom, Bianca Jagger-esque Schiaparelli skirt suit and elegant wide-brimmed hat—Dua Lipa and Callum Turner have now shared photographs from the second chapter of their celebrations in Sicily.

For the first stage of the Italian festivities, Dua wore a custom Bottega Veneta halterneck gown featuring the house's signature intrecciato-inspired detailing. For the main event, however, Dua turned to a house with which she has a long-standing relationship: Chanel.

The bride wore a custom Chanel Haute Couture wedding gown adorned with feathers and crystal embellishments. The halterneck design featured a low back and elongated train scattered with delicate feather detailing. She completed the look with a feather-trimmed headpiece and a long embroidered veil.

Handcrafted at Chanel's ateliers at 31 Rue Cambon in Paris, the gown brought together the expertise of several of the house's specialist métiers d'art. 480,000 beads were hand-embroidered across the dress, whilst the trompe l'oeil jewelled embellishments took 1,155 hours to create. The two-metre train was finished with 25,000 feathers, and Dua's six-metre tulle veil was similarly embellished with hand-embroidered beads and feathers for an elegant, cohesive finish.

The gown marks the first Chanel Haute Couture wedding dress designed by Matthieu Blazy for a friend of the house. As an official Chanel ambassador and the face of the Chanel 25 handbag campaign, Lipa's choice of wedding dress felt incredibly fitting.

Elegant and extraordinary, but not at the expense of her own playful style, Dua's feather-embellished gown has me thinking that the era of '90s style slinky designs is over, and that a new bridal trend is on the horizon.

If you follow celebrity news, you're probably aware that Dua Lipa and Callum Turner are having their wedding celebration in Palermo, Italy, this weekend after having their civil ceremony in London. And if you weren't aware, now you are. I mention this because the couple flew from London to Italy for the celebration, and it's my duty to report on what Lipa wore for the journey. It happens to be the biggest denim trend of summer 2026, but it's also one I'd truthfully be hesitant to wear to the airport. That said, her wedding-weekend airport outfit is swaying me.

The denim trend I'm referring to is white jeans, which don't seem all that groundbreaking, but all the coolest dressers are suddenly wearing them everywhere, including Lipa. She paired her straight-leg white jeans with a long-sleeve black tee, white sneakers, and a two-tone baseball cap. Wearing white pants is a bit risky for a travel day, especially if you're a coffee drinker, but she looks chic and fresh—more than she would in jeans of any other wash, in my opinion. If you're willing to take the risk for the sake of looking stylish at the airport, follow Dua Lipa's lead and wear white jeans on your next flight.

Keep scrolling for the travel-day outfit inspiration and to shop a handful of white jeans to wear to the airport and everywhere else this summer.

Dua Lipa can do—and wear—anything, something she proved this week when, in the matter of days, she went from her custom Schiaparelli wedding suit to an ultra-casual Ugg outfit. Both were copy-worthy in their own right, with the latter no doubt serving as Ugg styling material for years to come. Everyone wears them, but Lipa has a certain way of making Ugg boots look especially cool, and this time, a lot of that has to do with the pants she wore them with. Not leggings, not micro shorts—the just-married singer opted, instead, for white jeans, making her low-key boots look elevated and sophisticated. Her $3900 Phoebe Philo trench coat certainly helped, but really, it was her denim choice, combined with her Classic Mini II Boots ($170), that made the outfit.

The outfit, which Lipa wore to stroll around London with her now-husband, Callum Turner, ahead of their honeymoon trip to Palermo, had all the qualities of an enviable London ensemble. The trench gave it a rain-ready, incognito vibe, while the white jeans dressed up her Ugg boots, which provided comfort. White jeans also feel far more spring-coded than dark blue or black, which helped to bring her shoe choice—usually reserved for winter—into the current season, even if London's weather didn't comply.

Lipa's not the only person combining white jeans and Ugg boots, either, especially chestnut-colored pairs. On Pinterest, the combo is especially popular, and other celebs, like Elsa Hosk and Selena Gomez, have frequented it for years. What makes it is its unexpected chicness and polished appeal. Anyone can wear Uggs with leggings or baggy blue jeans, but it's less likely that you'll run into another person in your exact outfit if you're wearing white denim with your go-to shearling boots. Simply put, white jeans keep Uggs from looking dated or just like everyone else.

And now, with Lipa's stamp of approval, pairing Uggs with white jeans is set to become *the* chic way to wear the boot style in the latter part of 2026. It's written in the stars—kind of like her relationship with Turner. To get in on the duo right now, keep scrolling.
