As a fashion writer, I spend a lot of time considering the power of colour within an outfit, as well as the specific colour pairings that can make an ensemble really stand out. And, lately, I've developed a new favourite. While it might not be the first combination that springs to mind for summer dressing, I’ve found that brown and gold is one of the most sophisticated—and expensive-looking—colour combinations out there, and I have examples to back it up.

This understated pairing has been growing on me for some time, but it was a recent Jessica Alba street-style moment that crystallised it for me. Stepping out in a glossy, calf-grazing brown strapless dress, the actor completed her look with a pair of strappy gold heels and sculptural gold earrings. A thoughtful detail that brought the most out of her dark chocolate dress, the richness of the brown and the warmth of the gold played off each other beautifully.

The appeal of this combination lies in its inherent richness—brown and gold are two colours that are synonymous with sophistication and wearing them together guarantees a luxurious-looking payoff, no matter how much your outfit might have cost you.

Able to be played out in endless ways—a simple brown dress is exponentially elevated when cinched at the waist with a gold chain belt. Likewise, a tonal brown outfit—think linen trousers and a silky tank—can be lifted with the addition of gold earrings, a delicate cuff, a clutch bag or a glossy metallic sandal.

If, like me, you’ve never been drawn to bright, punchy hues (even at the peak of summer), brown and gold might just be the refined colour combination to look into this summer.

If there’s one thing I’ve learnt this year, it’s that 'airport style' is most definitely a thing. Traditionally, long-haul dressing was all about comfort but nowadays our favourite celebs know that a stylish travel outfit can be just as impactful as a red carpet look.

And while you might not be jetting off to the same destinations or events as the celeb pack, it doesn't mean you can't still dress to impress on your next flight (or even train journey!). When it comes to nailing travelling in style, there are few things that celebrities always seem to rely on, like a large tote bag, sunglasses, great denim and easy layers. But you might be surprised to know that chic celebrity airport looks also always feature an unpredictable footwear choice: Heels. 

From heeled ankle boots to strappy, barely-there sandals, the inspo is endless when it comes to what type of heel celebs are wearing at airport security and beyond. Style icons like Amal Clooney and Kate Moss have thrown their trainers and uggs to the side in favour of heeled boots, while the likes of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Jessica Alba have opted for a classic heeled shoe. 

Scroll down to see our edit of celebrity airport looks as well as shop the pieces you may need to help recreate the outfits on your next trip.

1. KNEE HIGH BOOTS

Amal Clooney wears a knitted dress with knee-high boots.

Style Notes: Amal Clooney kicks off travelling in style with her expensive looking knit dress. Her Christian Louboutin knee0high boots are sold out but go for a style that hugs the leg for a similar silhouette.

2. WHITE STILETTOS

Jessica Alba wears a striped shirt with dark denim and Dior bag.

Style Notes: White pumps work so well when they are like Alba's: Minimal and mid-height, with dark denim and a muted colour palette. Everything about her look is considered and chic and we are here for it.

3. SUEDE ANKLE BOOTS

Kate Moss in black blazer, clutch bag and black ankle boots.

Style Notes: Queen of airport style Kate always gets it right. Keep it classy in head-toe-black and pack an extra t-shirt in your carry on to pop on when you land to avoid any creases. 

Shop the look:

4. STRAPPY HEELS

Anne Hathaway wears a patchwork jacket, jeans and strappy sandals.

Style Notes: Keep it comfy when wearing denim and follow Anne's lead with a relaxed flare, adding a squishy quilted jacket and a pop of colour with kitten heels.

5. TAN ANKLE BOOTS

Victoria Beckham wears a yellow blazer, jeans and tan boots.

Style Notes: A lesson in how to wear flares, when it comes to VB she never gets it wrong. She favours teaming her's with a round or almond toe chunky heel boot to help balance out the silhouette. If you're not a fan of a chunky heel a wedge boot would work just as well.

6. TOE THONG SANDALS

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley a wears beige trench-coat and toe thong heels.

Style Notes: Rosie knows you can't go wrong with a trench-coat and slick accessories. Go for a pared back toe thong style sandal, they always look so much more expensive than they are IRL.

Long, full hair may be the standard (thanks, old-school shampoo commercials!), but in reality, it's far from the norm. There are a lot of reasons someone might have thinner hair, from genetics to postpartum hair loss. And while hair thinning is more common as we get older, anyone of any age can have thin hair, or fine hair (aka hair that's physically smaller in diameter than its fuller counterparts). That's why, as always, the right haircut can be a total game-changer. 

No matter your hair length or texture, your next cut is just a scroll away. We caught up with three ultra-talented hairstylists—Sanda Petrut of Maxine Salon in Chicago, celebrity stylist Joseph Maine, and Ryan Trygstad of Mark Ryan Salon in New York City—to find out their tips for cutting and styling thin and fine hair, as well as the best products to use for styling it. (Best of all: Not an extension in sight.)

The Hairstylist: Sanda Petrut of Maxine Salon in Chicago

"So many factors are taken into consideration when choosing a haircut for thin hair," explains Petrut. "Is it thin on top? Is it thin on the sides? Is it thin all over? Is it thin due to illness? Is it thin due to ageing? I also consider features and lifestyle," says the stylist.

Petrut also pays close attention to length and texture. "For thin, straight hair I may choose a shorter haircut with clean lines. Maybe a little graduation or a little layer if hair density supports it," she says. 

"For medium-to-long hair length, I’ll choose a long fringe and/or framing," she says.

Finally, "If hair is wavy or curly I would definitely add layers," she says. "The layers would add volume and the hair would appear thicker."

The Hairstylist: Joseph Maine, Celebrity Stylist, and Color Wow Artistic Director 

"Typically, I recommend blunt haircuts or haircuts with very little layering for thin hair because you don’t want to remove density from the ends," says Maine. However, he says, "There are still ways to add shape by face-framing or adding minimal 'hidden layers.'"

For loose, voluminous curls like Jennifer Lawrence's, Maine recommends blowing hair out with a diffuser.

Rashida Jones's haircut may volley from chin to shoulder length, but she usually avoids layers to keep it looking fuller.

A soft bend and a side fringe adds texture and dimension to Emma Stone's bob haircut.

The Hairstylist: Ryan Trygstad, Celebrity Stylist and Co-Founder of Mark Ryan Salon in New York City

The hairstylist agrees that blunt cuts can be fantastic on thinner hair. "Mid-to-shorter lengths are great because the hair looks fuller," explains Trygstad, who adds that "Finer hair types are less likely to have a pyramid- or triangle-shaped style." 

One reason Jamie Chung's lob looks so sleek and cool? "Blunt shapes are better for fine hair," says Trygstad.

Another pretty idea inspired by Jourdan Dunn's look: slightly choppy ends.

Lucy Boynton's of-the-moment curtain bangs are the perfect face-framing detail to her blunt bob.

And now, 5 hair colours that don't do thin hair any favours—and 5 that absolutely do.

It feels like over the past five to ten years, everyone with celebrity status has launched a beauty line. What started as a concept everyone wanted a slice of has slowly but surely lost its allure. A recent study by market research company Ipsos found many social media users feel sceptical that celebs actually use the products they push and say the market is oversaturated. One commenter even went as far as saying, "Dear celebrities, please—and I mean this with the greatest respect—please stop forcing new skincare lines onto us. We don’t need it, we don’t want it. We know you’re not even using it. Please, just stop.” Sheesh.

For me, it was the announcement of Brad Pitt releasing his own skincare line in September last year that, quite frankly, sent me over the edge. "Where will it end?” I internally cried. However, I must give credit where credit is due, and flag there are certain celebs absolutely killing it in the beauty industry. Let’s take Fenty Beauty by Rihanna, for example, which launched in 2017 and is now worth $2.8 billion. Or newcomer Rhode by Hailey Bieber, featuring a line up of sellout skincare essentials and that viral peptide lip treatment. I’m yet to try the brand and I’m eagerly awaiting its arrival into the UK, so watch this space…

There are also a lot of skincare and makeup staples in my own beauty regime that were born from celebrity-founded brands, so it’s not all doom and gloom. If they clearly love and whole-heartedly believe in their brand, everything feels more authentic and it reflects in the product offering.

Not sure which ones are worth your money and which are best to swerve? Keep scrolling for my eight favourite celebrity beauty brands that are genuinely really good, plus the hero product from each of them that I just can't be without.

1. R.E.M Beauty

Launched in 2021 with Ariana Grande at the helm, the collection features ethereal shades and pigments housed in sci-fi inspired packaging. The brand prides itself on being fully inclusive, and just a quick scroll through the @r.e.m.beauty Instagram page, you’re served a ton of inspiring and out-of-the-box beauty looks. The matte lipsticks and lash and brow-boosting serums have become a cult favourite.

2. Rare Beauty

I really love Selena Gomez, but I don’t think that makes me bias in saying her brand hits all the right marks. Rare Beauty is all about building a safe space for everyone to experiment and enjoy beauty, plus it’s also an extremely personal project for Gomez, who donates a percentage of annual profits to a mental health charity she founded. The products are also genuinely good, and you’ll often find Gomez creating step-by-step beauty tutorial’s on Instagram or Tik Tok using a whole face of Rare Beauty.

3. Victoria Beckham Beauty

After the success of VB’s capsule collections with Estée Lauder we knew we were in for something very special when her very own beauty label launched in 2019––and boy did she deliver. Since then, we’ve been treated to a plethora of eye, lip and face treats plus a skincare collab with Augustinus Bader. All hail, Queen VB.

4. Rose Inc

Having struggled with breakouts for years, Huntington-Whiteley wanted to make sure her products work for all skin types, especially acne-prone skin. In an interview with Elle magazine she explained that authenticity and integrity are also extremely important to her, "I really wanted the brand to stand for something other than pretty products.” Clean and sustainable ingredients are at the forefront of the line up.

5. Kora Organics

Noni juice, known for its healing, rejuvenating and antioxidant properties, is at the heart of all Kora Organics products and was actually introduced to the world-renowned model by her grandma when she was 13 years old. I’ve been lucky enough to interview Kerr on several occasions and it's always struck me just how passionate she is about her brand––she hasn't taken a cent from the company and instead invests it into creating powerful products.

6. Kylie Cosmetics

Kylie Cosmetics continues to go from strength to strength––the beauty mogul keeps things fresh with fun collabs and limited-edition collections. One of the OG celebrity beauty brands.

8. Fenty Beauty

A beauty brand that really needs no introduction (refer back to intro for its sheer success figuratively speaking). Everything from lipstick to foundation works so well for every skin type that you'd struggle to find someone who doesn't count at least one product as a ride-or-die.

A rosy flush. A cherub cheek tint. That "just finished Barry’s Bootcamp” morning glow. There’s something about the perfect pop of rouge on your cheeks that evokes a fresh and healthy je ne sais quoi. While you might think that little pot of pink powder in your makeup bag is a product to reach for only when you are putting on a full face, think again.

There are variations of blush and flattering ways to apply it for every face shape and skin type: bouncy gelées, baked powders, glossy sticks, luminescent loose powders, blushes with a highlighter booster, and every flattering shade under the rainbow. With that in mind, we sat down with celebrity makeup artists Ashlee Glazer and Lisa Aharon to give us the lowdown on getting the best cheeks of your life.

By Face Shape

Should blush be included in your everyday, no-makeup makeup look? Celebrity makeup artist and on-air beauty expert Ashlee Glazer thinks so. "Blush is my favourite makeup product on every woman. It is the most flattering look for all ages. The universal goal is to add a touch of colour, brighten up your complexion and add softness to your overall look no matter what face shape you are,” says Glazer. We’re sold.

Additionally, when it comes to getting the perfect flush, the application process is everything. Lisa Aharon, a celebrity makeup artist whose clients include Rachel Brosnahan, Florence Welch, Gwyneth Paltrow and Anna Kendrick, has a few tricks up her sleeve. "You can use your fingers (make sure they’re clean), a sponge, or a brush, depending on your comfort level and the type of blush you’re using,” says Aharon. "I like to tap or press in the blush so that it deposits the colour evenly. If you need to blend it in further, use a foundation brush with a tiny bit of product patted on top. It becomes one with the skin this way,” she explains.

Ready for one last universal pro tip? Glazer swears her go-to blush trick will change your cheeks/face/life: "Place the two forefingers on the side of the nose and sweep up and out from the outside finger. It is flattering on everyone!”

Now, find specific tips for your face shape below:

Oval and Rectangle

"Sweep your blush higher and blend out toward the ears,” says Glazer. "You want to open up the face and end all your brushstrokes with wisps of the skin so you don’t end up with hard lines." 

Round

Round face shapes should go for a softer approach to application. "Going too close to the apples of your cheeks will look too cherub-y,” says Glazer. "Instead, apply slightly above the apples, keeping it very soft and swiping upward toward the temples to enhance the structure of the face.”

Square, Diamond and Heart

For square and heart-shaped faces, Glazer says to aim high, explaining that you want to add more dimension to the shape of your face. "Start by using your eye as a guide and place the brush on the cheek in line with the outer eye line, and dust up," she says. "Dusting up will give soft angles to the face, and add beautiful colour." 

By Skin Type

Rosacea/Acne/Textured Skin: "If there’s texture on that area of the face (spots, scars, etc.), cream blush tends to draw attention to those, so I’d grab that powder,” says Aharon.

Normal/Dry Skin: "If your skin is crazy-dry, and the thought of more makeup isn't for you, use a cream. I am a big fan of the blush sticks or liquid blushes that can be used all over,” says Glazer.

Next up, my eyebrows doubled in size after making these 6 sneaky changes.

I recently took a couple of warm-weather trips to Mexico and then Los Angeles, both of which offer a significant beach culture. But in my opinion, that doesn't make it a good idea to consistently wear the controversial sandal style that I kept seeing on people's feet during my travels. If you're thinking flip-flops, we're on the same page. What kills me is that there are so many shoe styles out there that are just as easy and comfortable as flip-flops but are significantly more protective of your feet.

I wanted to know how flip-flops rank on the airport practicality spectrum, so I reached out to the experts themselves and chatted to TSA spokesperson Lisa Farbstein and Delta travel agent Stacey Townsend. Farbstein pointed out that while you can certainly wear flip-flops to an airport, "even though they are thin-soled, they still will need to be removed at the TSA checkpoint, which typically means bare feet on the floor." So making the security process easier certainly isn't a valid reason to wear them.

Townsend told me, "flip-flops are great to slide on to head down to the pool, but as a flight attendant, they are not my footwear of choice when exploring a new city. They offer no support, which is basically my worry." I asked what she thought of wearing them to the airport and flying in them, to which she responded, "I mean, it's sort of gross. There's so much bacteria. Wearing flip-flops, you can get blisters and then bacteria can get into your feet." Yikes, right?

So with that in mind, here are six celebrity-approved shoes that are far more sensible for the airport. See which celebs travel in them and shop the styles below.

1. Pool Slides

Style Notes: If you really want to wear rubber sandals, take note from Rihanna and go with pool slides instead. Even better, wear them with socks (it's okay—it's cool now).

2. Sneakers

Style Notes: Alessandra Ambrosio proves that you truly can't go wrong with just wearing a pair of cool trainers at the airport. Comfy and cool, they're the perfect footwear of choice for travelling.

3. Low Block & Kitten Heels

Style Notes: Want a little height? Low-block or kitten heels will do wonders for your outfit and comfort level, especially if you're wearing loose-fitting clothing like Jessica Alba.

Shop the Look:

4. Ankle Boots

Style Notes: Ankle boots are a great option for when you want something that has the sturdiness of sneakers but with a more polished look. I love how Kate Bosworth has styled hers with a relaxed mini dress.

Shop the Look:

5. Loafers

Style Notes: Loafers are probably the shoes that I wear to the airport most often. I love how easily they slip on and off and that they perfectly complement jeans and leggings alike, as demonstrated by Karlie Kloss.

Shop the Look:

6. Leather Flats

Style Notes: If you've decided to wear flats to the airport, do yourself a favour and choose something with more polish and structure than flip-flops—a simple leather sandal in the warmer months like Jasmine Tookes, or ballet pumps when it's cooler out are just the ticket.

A four-day weekend can do wonders for gaining some clarity about your closet, and this undoubtedly includes thinking about what you wear day in, day out at work. 

Regardless of whether you work in a heels-24/7 kind of office or the kind of relaxed office where sneakers are a legitimate choice, we can all quickly become tired of our working wardrobe. 

We're told to dress for the job we want, not the job we have. So if we can't dress like a dolphin trainer (fantasy job number one) or a professional ice cream taster (fantasy job number two), we want to dress like we're Victoria Beckham skipping into VB HQ or Olivia Palermo in her mobile office on the front row.

Pretty much every woman, without exception, is a fan of wearing a maxi dress from time to time. Whether you're just going out to run errands or dressing up for an evening out, the garment seems to consistently be one of the most versatile in any woman's wardrobe.

So in the spirit of summer, we thought it a good time to present to you the very best outfits spotted on stylish celebs at Disneyland, and how to re-create them yourself. Word to the wise: We advise leaving the mouse ears at home, unless you’re actually going to Disneyland. In which case, lucky you!

To sum it up, power dressing is dressing like you’ve got your sh*t together, even if you don’t. We found seven celebrities who have definitely mastered the look and have their sh*t together, too . A glance at their on-point looks and you can’t help but notice the major boss-lady vibes they’re exuding. Some on our list are veterans of the game and some novices, but they’re all equally killing it. The best part? Not only are these women major influencers in the style department, their lives are aspirational to say the least.

Scroll down to see our countdown of the most influential celebrity power-dressers in all their glory, and to shop an assortment of our favourite blazers, a key piece in any power look.

Gone are Sienna Miller’s bohemian babe days. The actress’s cool, grown-up new look comes at a time of career reinvention and new motherhood. Even her wavy bob screams “power.” Everything is coming together for Miller, and it shows.

Jessica Alba, a busy mum, actress, and CEO, is an expert at melding her feminine sensibilities with that of a stylish professional. A lover of colour and print, she combines silky trousers and fitted blazers on the regular, creating a signature power-dressing look for herself.

Fact: Nobody commands a stage, or room for that matter, like J.Lo. Her powerful looks run the gamut from sexy to #bosslady and everything in between. Her unwavering confidence says it all.

Charlize Theron has been a major player in the power-dressing game for perhaps her entire career. A fan of minimalistic shapes and neutral hues, the actress often opts for strong looks make a statement—whether she’s on the red carpet or off.

One of our favourite celebs for date-night and airport-dressing inspiration, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is also a stellar power dresser (even on dates and at the airport!). The supermodel and actress proves that it’s possible to dress like a cool girl and a powerful woman at the same time.

Coming in a close second, Amal Clooney has been winning our hearts as of late. The It woman (you just can’t refer to her as girl) has class and accessible style for days. Her night-out and workday outfits are always appropriate and sleek, but still have a touch of fun.

Often donning pieces from her own line, Victoria Beckham is a veteran of the power dressing game at this point. In fact, some might argue that she helped to create it (ahem, Posh Spice). A big aspect of power dressing is wearing the hues and styles that help you to exude confidence, i.e. a vibrant red hue, a structured satchel, or a perfect-fitting blazer. Beckham often seamlessly incorporates these elements into her looks. No matter where she’s headed, she looks like she could conduct an important business meeting at any given moment—the ultimate goal of a power dresser in our opinion.

We love a good pair of best friends, but when the besties in question are our favourite stars and the powerhouse stylists responsible for their stellar outfits? Even better. That’s why we rounded up six celebs who are best friends with their stylists, beyond the job. 

Though the stunning blonde besties look similar enough to be twin sisters, they are, in fact, family (Williams and Watts’ brother have one child together). Williams’ Instagram boasts amazing behind-the-scene snaps of Watts getting ready for red carpet events and shots of the two of them striking Vogue-worthy poses all over the globe.

The gorgeous redhead and the woman responsible for landing her on best-dressed lists travel together constantly, with Stewart sharing goofy photos of Chastain getting glammed up for awards shows, events, and editorial spreads. The actress, in turn, recently shared a birthday pic for Stewart reading, "To the most stylish lady out there @elizabethstewart1 #loveyou.” Aww.

A longtime bestie of Kim, Rose has styled nearly every member of the Kardashian family at some point and was one of the honored invited guests at Kimye’s wedding.

Friends for years, Perry and Wujek don’t shy away from professing their undying love for one another, in both the professional and personal realm. Wujek shares #tbt photos with the singer, and a recent Instagram post by Perry dedicated to her bestie read, "To one of my favourite people in the universe @jwujek! You are one of the most loyal, selfless, optimistic, incredibly creative people I know. We are always challenging ourselves and coming up with the craziest/coolest/chicest lewks... And we ALWAYS have fun even if we lose our minds in the process! Thank you for you, I love you.” Tearing up yet?

As perennial travel partners for work and events, Alba frequently shares photos of herself cheesing out with the powerful styling duo, on and off the job. Check their personal Instagram for behind-the-scenes selfies and sweet moments with the chic mum of two.

How do you know if someone is really best friends with a celebrity? If the celeb named them in their ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, of course! Aside from tagging her mega-stylist in her viral video, Huntington-Whiteley frequently hangs out with Coulter in real life, and the two even attended Coachella together. Coulter, for her part, posts covetable outfit snaps of the breathtaking model that you won’t see anywhere else.
