Sorry diamonds, but there's a new jewellery trend that's latching on to the necks of the chicest celebrities this season. Less ostentatious and far more wearable day-to-day, stone necklaces are the fresh and playful accessory the most-stylish stars are reaching for right now.

With a boho-infused energy, this pretty necklace trend adds a relaxed element to an outfit in a way that few other jewels could. Already a mainstay in the wardrobes of fashionable famous people, I've spotted Nicole Richie and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley take to the trend in recent weeks, styling them with evening outfits and relaxed day-time looks alike.

Wearing a gold chocker necklace with a vivid red stone attached, Richie added a subtle flush of colour to her otherwise all-black ensemble in the chicest way last week. A timeless accessory that matched Richie's laid-back personality, the growing jewellery trend added a subtle point of friction to her polished evening look, creating an interesting ensemble that felt elevated yet uncomplicated.

Another new fan of the emerging accessory, I spotted Huntington-Whiteley style a pendant stone necklace with white roll-neck top and horseshoe jeans whilst away in Spain last week. Letting her long pendant necklace drape over her white top, the model's necklace added a point of interest to her outfit, without overwhelming her look.

Available in a wide range of colours, cuts and sizes, each stone necklace is packed with plenty of character. Whilst I like to look out for these kind of jewels in vintage shops and markets, there's a whole host of compelling versions cropping up across high street and designer brands.

Like so many other trends for this season, stone necklaces can somewhat be attributed to Chloé. Although I was surprised to discover they didn’t actually feature in the brand’s iconic autumn/winter 2024 show—it’s first under new Creative Director, Chemena Kamali—what the French fashion house did do was put boho back on the fashion map. And because of this, stone necklaces have bubbled up as an offshoot of this influence.

Playful and uniquely versatile, stone necklaces offer far more styling potential that their diamond counterparts. While both will look right at home with a black evening dress, one one is especially well matched when worn with a roomy knit or fresh white tee, too.

Quickly catching on as the accessory of choice, the celebrity penchant for the stone necklaces trend is certain to ripple in to style crowds too. To get ahead of the building trend, read on to discover our edit of the best stone necklaces below.

Although sisters Sofia and Nicole Richie have many things in common, I always thought that their taste in fashion was one of their few distinct differences. Always associating Nicole Richie with a more un-done, boho aesthetic, and Sofia Richie Grainge with a quiet luxury vibe, their latest outfits just put in to question everything I thought I knew.

Proving that they have even more in common than I imagined, the two stepped out on different occasions styling the same autumn bag trend this weekend. Pushing aside the brown and black hues that fashion people often reach for across the cooler months, the sisters instead plucked rich burgundy bags to complete their off-duty looks.

Selecting a Hermès Kelly bag in a deep burgundy shade, Richie Grainge wore hers slung casually over her body with a simple T-shirt, trouser and trainers outfit. Adding a flush of colour into her black and white look, Richie Grainge's sleek bag choice kept her outfit feeling refined and chic, but far from boring.

Whilst her younger sibling chose a style large enough to see her through her day's worth of activities, Nicole Richie's choice was neat, compact, and perfect for evening use. Selecting a small burgundy style in a supple suede fabric, Richie's bag choice felt chic and sophisticated and easily elevated her jeans and T-shirt outfit. Matching her bag to her burgundy boots, Richie knows this trick instantly pulls together a look.

It's no surprise that burgundy bags are catching on right now, as the trend made a huge impact on the runways in a February. Appearing across Gucci, Bottega Veneta, and Ferragamo's autumn/winter 2024 collections, the rich hue rivalled its black and brown counterparts as the style know about this season. Wearing well with soft shades such as butter yellows or rosy pink, the shade also works incredibly well with rich autumnal shades, including khaki, as Richie demonstrated with her subtle khaki layer over the weekend.

Set to dominate throughout the rest of 2024, read on to discover our edit of the best burgundy bags below.

Having earned the title of "style icon" in the early 2000s, Nicole Richie is no stranger to crafting an excellent outfit. And, last night she stepped out in a two-piece get-up that struck me as very similar to the specific pairing I've seen on the streets of Paris this summer.

Skirting the pretty blouses and boxy tees that fashion people often come to during the summer months, Richie reached for an elegant strapless top to form the base of her evening-ready look. Selecting a strapless top with with a curved finish, Richie's pretty pairing added a sculptural feel to her relaxed denim outfit that made it perfect for the late-night occasion.

With a dressed-up feel that outcompetes vest tops, the strapless top trend is one that French women have been using to energise their summer outfits for years. Styling well with minimal jewels for a je ne sais quoi finish, the top also looks elevated when layered up with charm necklaces or a silk scarf.

Wearing hers with a slim black belt and mid-wash wide-leg jeans, Richie chose to accessorise her look sans neckwear, reaching for statement earrings instead. Emerging hand-in-hand with her friend Hillary Duff (the friendship we didn't know we needed!), Richie's casual evening ensemble was drenched in the same cool-girl energy she's carried for decades.

If you're petite, you know all too well that shopping can be somewhat of a struggle. While some brands do cater for those under 5'4", petite women are still a largely underrepresented group within the retail realm. Trouser hems are ridiculously long—so much so that they often leave me looking like I'm setting off for my first day of clown college (while the waistline tends to slip down to my hips). It's frustrating, to say the least. Which is why I've turned to the A-list to help me with my petite plight.

So many short celebrities have excellent fashion sense (think Sienna Miller, Zoë Kravitz and the ever-stylish Olsen twins), so I've deciphered their go-to looks to create the ultimate petite capsule, the fruits of which you'll find below. The goal isn't to change the way you look; instead, it's about making your physique more in-proportion. Once you crack how to do that, you can wear anything you please. From the dress Sienna swears by to the shoes Ashley rarely leaves the house without, keep scrolling to see the few key pieces short celebrities rely on.

Style Notes: Be it in suit, trouser or dress form, vertical stripes are an essential part of any petite girl's wardrobe as the lines create the illusion of length, as evidenced by 5'2" Zoë Kravitz. Furthermore, ensure you keep the look tailored to enhance your shape.

Style Notes: Ashley Olsen's go-to shoes are undoubtedly flesh-coloured pumps, which she's worn on a multitude of occasions. By matching your footwear to the colour of your skin, you trick the eye into thinking you have longer legs, balancing out your silhouette in the process. We'd never believe Ashley is a mere 5'0" in this outfit.

Style Notes: Ashley isn't the only Olsen who knows how to dress her petite frame well: Mary-Kate—who stands at 5'1"—is also an expert. One of her failsafe tricks is to cinch her waist with a wide belt. In doing so, she divides her body proportionately, making her seem taller in the process. Simple but so effective.

Style Notes: You might not think it, but high necklines give the appearance of a longer torso, which in turn makes your overall frame look longer, too. Case in point? Lupita Nyong'o, who, at 5'4", looks significantly taller in her Gucci dress.

Style Notes: Measuring 5'1", Nicole Richie continually serves up excellent petite outfit inspiration, and this ensemble is no exception. Her bold printed blouse commands the overall focus, allowing her block-colour maxi skirt to elegantly drape to the floor, which bestows her longer-looking legs. Masterful.

Style Notes: You might not think it, but midi skirts are extremely flattering on petite frames. They sit neatly on the waist, helping to define it while skimming your legs to create a flattering silhouette. The flash of ankle on show then makes your legs look leaner. Indeed, we'd never guess Jenna Coleman was 5'2" in this getup.

Style Notes: Scarlett Johansson, at 5'3", knows that wide-leg trousers are a petite's best friend. They're classic, hang elegantly and make your legs look never-ending. Make like Scarlett and pair yours with a fuss-free tee and strappy sandals.

Style Notes: If you're constantly having to take long dresses to your tailor to be hemmed, it's high time you added a dip-hem style to your wardrobe. Sienna Miller, who is 5'4", wears them on repeat, as they give the same elegant air as maxi styles but require no alterations whatsoever. Also, much like midi skirts, the subtle flash of ankle helps break up your overall silhouette, making you look taller, too.

Style Notes: Just because you're petite doesn't necessarily mean your body is in proportion. If you're like Lucy Hale, who is 5'2" and has shorter legs in comparison to her torso, try balancing out your frame with a pair of high-waisted jeans.

Style Notes: Her penchant for lycra is undeniable, but Kim Kardashian West, 5'2", also knows that long coats look chic and frame her physique perfectly.

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.
