Don’t look now, but summer is coming! It’s time to nail down those vacation plans, plan long weekend getaways, and refresh your wardrobe. And let’s be real: There’s always a surprising summer shoe trend that creeps up until it’s nearly ubiquitous. Last summer, the mesh flat reigned supreme, proving weird shoes—although polarizing—can find their way

Earth Month may have just ended, but P180 has launched an e-commerce concept that puts the focus squarely on sustainability. The new enterprise co-founded by industry veteran Brendan Hoffman and CaaStle CEO Christine Hunsicker has joined forces with elysewalker on a collection, Borrow by elysewalker, featuring styles that are available to rent for up to

Tira Howard Indigenous fashion is in the spotlight, thanks in large part to actresses like Lily Gladstone and models such as Quannah Chasinghorse. But it isn’t merely a passing trend. This unprecedented, and long overdue, celebration of authentic Native representation has been thousands of years in the making—and it honors long-held cultural traditions and techniques

Clutching a sand-filled hourglass in one hand like the Goddess of Time herself, “Water” singer (and ELLE Women in Music honoree) Tyla ascended the Met Gala carpet steps this without touching the ground. As Variety captured on video, several men helped lift the pop star from step to step as she progressed through the main

Fresh off an Emmy win for her standout performance in The Bear, Ayo Edebiri continues to blossom. After ruling the red carpet during awards season, the newly-minted fashion darling walked the stairs at the 2024 Met Gala for the first time in a Loewe look with Boucheron jewelry, and hit the nail on the head

Bones and All actress Taylor Russell appeared like a Classical statue come to life on the 2024 Met Gala red carpet—but with a botanic twist. Adorned in a custom Loewe wood-painted bodice cast and an ivory skirt swung low on her hips, Russell played with the “Garden of Time” theme with a set of branches

At tonight’s Met Gala, The Great actress Elle Fanning looked a bit like a frozen flower about to be plucked by songbirds—not unlike the time flowers at the heart of J.G. Ballard’s 1962 short story “The Garden of Time,” from which the 2024 Met Gala found its theme. In the short story, a Count Axel

She’s no longer a blonde, Mamma Mia!’s Sophie be damned. Amanda Seyfried debuted a new hair look at the 2024 Met Gala, trading in her signature sunny locks for a structured, metallic-silver hair-do and tiara, smiling on the steps with a fuchsia lip. The 38-year-old actress, styled by Elizabeth Stewart, walked the carpet in Prada.

Days ahead of the first Monday in May—Met Gala Monday, as fashion folks call it—Law Roach was very busy, but content. “I retired and then unretired,” the image architect tells ELLE.com before adding, “I’m happy.” This sentiment is a 360-degree change from a little over a year ago when he announced via Instagram that he

Guillaume BlondiauLady Arpels Jour Nuit watch, Van Cleef & Arpels. Just as a couture gown is more than simply a dress, the watches in the Van Cleef & Arpels Poetic Complications collection are about more than just telling time. In the brand’s romantic interpretation, technical timekeeping elements are secondary to the drama that unfolds on

Welcome to Same Same But Different. As Gen Z and millennial fashion editors, respectively, we know a thing or two about shopping—for all ages, and especially our demographics. As we find the best products for you, we can’t help but do a little shopping for ourselves and build our personal (age-appropriate) wish lists. And now,

New York, London, Milan, Paris, and now, Marseilles. It’s officially cruise season, and Chanel kicked things off by hosting its 2025 show in the southern French coastal city known for its eclectic mix of culture, art, and breezy seaside fashion. Friends of the brand made it to the Mediterranean outpost for a rooftop presentation on

Wherever the summer takes you, be sure to have the right bag. And no, we don’t mean the most practical, efficient bag. We mean the cutest and trendiest, obviously. A stylish little It bag in the summer holds a power difficult to put into words, but you just know it when you feel it. There’s

Montblanc creative director Marco Tomasetta recently received a note for his birthday. It wasn’t sent on WhatsApp or via Instagram DM—the handwritten card was delivered in the mail. He locked it in a vault for safekeeping. “A letter is the most precious thing,” Tomasetta tells ELLE through a translator. “I would love to have a

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. If you read much current trend reporting, you might think that skinny jeans are verboten or that Sambas have finally reached their saturation point. Madé Lapuerta doesn’t necessarily see it that way. The creator of the Instagram account @databutmakeitfashion has become

As a denim editor for ELLE, I get more than my fair share of pitches and press releases about new collections, collaborations, and, seemingly more than ever, sustainability initiatives. How is it, I wondered, that the denim industry became one of the leaders in environmentally responsible practices when it comes to ready-to-wear? Well, after a

I’m not going to spoil Challengers for you, but I am going to spoil which sneakers are worn in the tennis drama. The final ten minutes of the movie are undoubtedly the most intense and important, and as I teetered on the literal edge of my seat—torso pitched forward, elbows on my knees, intently focused

Mother’s Day is more than just a date on the calendar. It’s a day soaked in gratitude, colored with love, and bursting with the joys of motherhood. And of course, every mom is unique, a hero in her own right as she juggles life’s and parenthood’s challenges and triumphs. So this day isn’t just about

Wayfair’s Way Day sale is almost upon us, which means there’s never been a better time to splurge on home décor and furniture. Whether you’ve been budgeting for a comfortable sofa, quality area rug, or luxurious duvet cover, you can get all that and more for up to 80 percent off during the home retailer’s

I didn’t get married anticipating divorce. Nor did I, a fashion and beauty editor, expect to find all my garments suddenly unwearable. Yet there I was, alone in my bedroom, with a wardrobe full of nothing I wanted to wear. I wish I could tell you there was a big, explosive blowout, a tantalizing scandal,

Despite being a bona fide bag lady, the last thing I ever considered investing in was a quality work tote. Simply put, I didn’t feel the need for one when I had a perfectly good, roomy, and durable canvas option in my arsenal. But, after schlepping a heavy, bulky bag to more than one professional

In 2019, I wrote an article for ELLE titled, “WNBA Game-Day Fashion Deserves Recognition, Too.” It took five years to get here—but that recognition is finally pouring in. From game day to draft day, women in basketball are having a much-deserved moment in the sartorial spotlight. At the 2024 WNBA draft in Brooklyn last week,

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. Lisa Birnbach has seen this all before. The author of The Official Preppy Handbook, which went old-world viral in 1980, is peering out from her proverbial Lacoste visor at yet another preppy revival. Whether it’s Emma Chamberlain going full dark academia

For years, I dedicated an entire section of my closet to silver. Not jewelry, but clothes. Tube tops threaded with tinsel. Tanks weighted down in diamanté. Halters undulating with waves of sequins. They were advertised as “going-out tops”—flimsy things that I suspect would shudder and wilt if held too close to an open flame—but for

Some may say the only way to be a fully sustainable fashion brand is to, well, not be a brand at all. After all, according to the Geneva Environment Network, the garment industry is currently responsible for over 10 percent of the world’s carbon emissions and contributes to mass amounts of water and textile waste

Inspiration can strike at the most unexpected moments: A wisp of an idea floats leisurely by, before bubbling into a larger vision. Stylist Jaime Kay Waxman is no stranger to finding artistry in all places—most recently, in the form of bespoke wine bottles. Element[AL] Wines’ core lineup, bottled in lightweight aluminum, features bold, metallic packaging

There was a time, not so long ago, when the term “era” brought to mind strictly academic concepts: a scale to measure the Earth’s geological time; a system for classifying sweeping events of human history; a theoretical timeline of our known universe. These days, though, “era” brings to mind different phases in the careers of

The last few days have been filled with so much Taylor content—and we’re definitely not complaining. With The Tortured Poets Department release, a surprise extended version titled The Anthology, and a music video for the single ‘Fortnight’, we literally haven’t been able to catch our Swiftie breath. And along with the record-breaking album, Swift released

We heartily endorse adding trending shapes to your eyewear collection (hello, slim ovals!), but while you’re at it, why not embrace frames that seamlessly fuse your fashion sense with a nod to sustainability? The Calvin Klein Eyewear Naturals collection looks great, of course—the brand has long been at the forefront of minimalist design—but it also

Athleisure fans, we’ve got big news. Our beloved Reebok always kills it with cool sneakers and sporty-chic styles. And right on queue is the brand’s new vintage-inspired collab with Anine Bing. ICYMI, Anine Bing has risen to fame over the last decade for easy breezy California-ready fashion like oversize button down shirts and elevated basics.
