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.

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.

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 term has rapidly gained traction online, with searches for ‘tanmaxxi...
