Crystals! Gems! Pearls! These are the best jewelled nails at the Met Gala 2026
Every first Monday of May, as the world’s biggest stars ascend the steps of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, beauty enthusiasts wait with bated breath. While fashion and beauty can often feel predictable, this spring evening remains the exception, year after year. It’s what gets everyone talking - dissecting and judging each look with the precision of Miranda Priestly. Eyes zoom in on every detail, from hair length to monochromatic makeup looks and of course, nails. And at the 2026 celebra...
Portable fans have become the it girl accessory of the summer - here's our pick of the best
What do the Princess of Wales and I have in common this summer? A handheld fan, of course. This summer, the humble handheld fan has become an unexpected accessory. Once resevered for holidays abroad or the depths of a heatwave, portable fans are now popping up everywhere - clipped to handbags and making regular appearances on the Central Line. As temperatures continue to climb, staying cool has become just as much a fashion and beauty consideration as it has become a practical one.

Candy crush alert! These are the 10 best jelly bean inspired nails to try this summer
Was there a greater childhood thrill than being handed a pack of jelly beans? Arguably not.

Now, their playful charm is finding its place in the beauty world. This summer's most whimsical manicure trend looks as though it's been plucked straight from Candy Land. Enter: Jelly Bean Nails.

From Kate Moss To Naomi Campbell - these lip kits are the perfect ode to the '00s nude lip
A deliberately washed-out lip – often paired with pencil-thin brows – is the make-up look that dominated the noughties. Channeling peak supermodel, the decade’s most influential stars were storming the streets in impossibly low-rise jeans and bodycon dresses, paired with ultra-pale lipsticks. Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Beyonce, Victoria Beckham and Pamela Anderson, to name just a few, were consistently demonstrating the enduring power of the nude lip - and how differently it could work on everyo...
TikTok says drinking your skincare is the hottest beauty trend to know now - so we tried it
‘You would love LA’, is a phrase I hear all the time. The appeal stretches far beyond the sunny weather, scattered drive-throughs and hilly landscapes. It's rooted in the wellness culture that dominates the city. My first stop? Erewhon, LA’s cult organic supermarket, with one thing in mind – the Strawberry Glaze Skin Smoothie, courtesy of none other than Hailey Bieber. After all, if the beauty mogul says that a pink, collagen-packed beverage will give me radiant skin, who am I to argue? More rec...
A doctor explains why 'tanmaxxing' might be TikTok's most dangerous trend yet
The pursuit of a tan has never been without risk, yet its latest resurgence is being fuelled by a social media trend. 'Tanmaxxing' is pushing its users to chase the darkest possible tan - often by skipping sunscreen or overexposing themselves to UV rays - despite growing warnings from dermatologists about serious long term-skin damage. Behind the viral videos and glamorous bronzed skin aesthetic, lies a far darker reality.

The 10 standout shows at Paris Fashion Week Men’s spring/summer 2027
Sarah Burton hosted her first menswear presentation for Givenchy during this edition of Paris Fashion Week Men’s.

The best looks from Milan Fashion Week Men’s FW 26/27
The curtain has fallen on Milan Fashion Week, which wrapped up on Monday after three days where all eyes were on men. This one was about a man with no fear of stepping outside his comfort zone. A fearless man who embraces his masculinity in a non-conformist way, yet never ceases to be a gentleman.
Silhouettes were exaggerated — at Dsquared2 there were massive puffers and oversized parkas channelling après-ski, but made sexy. Meanwhile, at Prada, streamlined garments were elongated, mimicking des...

Dior continues its love affair with Japan for Fall ’25
Dior’s love affair with Japan runs deep, from Monsieur Dior making history as the first couturier to show a collection there in 1953 to John Galliano, then the house’s creative director, channelling the drama of Puccini’s Madame Butterfly, set in Nagasaki, for the spring 2007 haute couture show. So it comes as no surprise that last week the French house staged its autumn ready-to-wear show against the backdrop of Kyoto, choosing the peaceful surroundings of the Tō-ji Temple, home to Japan’s tal...
The best looks from Paris Fashion Week Men’s FW 26/27
As Paris Fashion Week Men’s drew to a close after five days of shows, the celebration of the male form was only just beginning. The fashion capital rarely disappoints when it comes to creativity and this season was no exception. While designers paid homage to the foundations of tailoring, few shied away from pushing boundaries. Take Feng Chen Wang, whose 37-look collection reworked structured tailoring by juxtaposing architectural silhouettes with relaxed materials and contrasting textures.

Our favourite shows from London Fashion Week FW 26/27

Nude Project’s Barcelona store is the label’s version of a temple
Each decorative adornment on the walls of Nude Project’s headquarters in Barcelona’s industrial Poblenou district carries a meaning. There are images of co-founders Bruno Casanovas and Alex Benlloch when they first started the brand in 2019, a t-shirt signed by Ronaldinho from their brand collaboration, a sealed glass containing an emergency condom and a store-count flip calendar.
There is a lingering sense of pride and a glint in Casanovas’ eyes, when he pulls off the number 10 from the calend...

I'm A Beauty Journalist - You Need To Try This LED Mask In The Black Friday Sale
There is something rather special about owning an LED mask. It might be the feeling of belonging to a sort of beauty cult or the dopamine boost that comes with a self-care evening ritual.

Perhaps we can thank our favourite manicure muse, Hailey Bieber for that, the model-turned-beauty mogul stunned fans when she debuted a cinnamon-glazed take on the three-dimensional design at the Academy Museum Gala in October this year. Or maybe the appeal...
