If there’s one person who has managed to make strength, confidence, and having fun look like the ultimate form of wellness, it’s Ilona Maher. The Olympic rugby star has built a following far beyond the field by being refreshingly candid about body image, movement, ambition, and what it actually means to show up as your best self. From competing on the world stage to becoming a bona fide pop-culture favorite to an audience of over 10 Million on Instagram and TikTok combined, Maher has made a career out of authenticity — and encouraging everyone else to do the same.

The Zoe Report caught up with Maher beyond her viral moments and athletic accolades (Maher won the 2024 Bronze Medal in Paris, a first for the divison in France) to unpack the latest tool in her repertoire: Burn Boot Camp. “Burn has a real sense of community, and in the current fitness landscape we’re losing that feeling of actually enjoying the space you’re in. This workout was different,” Maher tells TZR. The inclusive 45-minute workout “Camp” was designed for women and families to stay consistent with strength-based workouts that truly challenge your body and mind and push you to level up your fitness game (for example, you won’t find 3- or 5-pound dumbbell anywhere at Burn). The global sports icon surprised the cult fitness community in Poway, San Diego for a signature circuit training session and learned even more about the workout from its current devotees. “It’s a great opportunity for women who may be intimidated by the gym — everyone is so welcoming, it’s just engrained in the culture.”

Whether Maher is training solo for rugby season or spicing up her routine with classes, the dynamic athlete and creator spills her approach to fitness, mindfulness, and the rituals that keep her feeling her best on and off the field.

What does a week of workouts look like for you?

As a professional rugby player, my typical workouts are four times a week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday with two on-field sessions a day; this can include running, conditioning, and playing the game. Then, there’s usually a gym session where we're lifting, so it ends up being about three workouts per day. I am blessed to do this as my job, and I understand not a lot of women get to do this for work. That’s another cool thing about Burn Boot Camp — they have child care, so moms are able bring their kids and still get to focus on themselves for an hour.

What are the wellness rituals that you keep up with, even on the road?

I'm actually a really simple person when it comes to wellness — I’m not a fan of trends. My big wellness thing is sleep. Sleep is so important for me; I must get my eight hours a night and or more. I also think that food is an important factor of wellness — I mean real, quality food. I'm getting much better about skipping take out and cooking for myself at home.

What is your favorite recipe to cook for yourself?

For the past two years I've really been on-the-go a lot and this is my first time being at home and getting to cook breakfast and dinner. I’ve been working with a dietician on recipe hacks and making better choices for me and my body; a dinner hack I've been doing recently is taking Greek yogurt — I don't do non-fat, something like two percent or five percent— and mixing in ranch or French onion seasoning as a protein dip. It’s so good.

You’re known for your body positivity messaging online. What advice do you have for a younger generation struggling with comparison in an algorithmic world?

It's really tough, honestly. I am very thankful that I didn't grow up in this age where I'm just constantly dumped information. Growing up in our generation with magazines, beauty ideals were still very narrow; you never really saw any sort of plus-size models or fashion.

Today, kids and young adults are going to constantly be seeing more and more about what’s considered beautiful, or what’s “right” — and we combat this by identifying a new version of beauty through other amazing influencers who are plus-size or incredible athletes as inspiration.

What is a tool you use to balance mindfulness?

I have great support system around me that helps me handle comparison. I also like to use actual tools like the Brick. I’ve been encouraging some of my teammates to get it, too because we don’t need dopamine hits all day. I love using the Brick when I wake up and going about my morning routine and realizing, ‘Oh wait, I haven’t checked Instagram yet today,’ and I’m not mad about it.

What is a wellness mantra you stand by?

I love Chelsea Handler’s books and she has this amazing quote about wanting to look back and know that she did that — her legacy. One day, I want to be old on my porch looking back and say, ‘Wow, I really lived. That was my life.’

Hardly a week goes by without Hailey Bieber wearing something millions of women will happily sell out in a matter of hours. Sometimes that’s a shade of nail polish, other times a simple pair of flip-flops. Recently, the Rhode founder has been on a tear when it comes to covet-worthy fashion moments while bouncing around Europe for Paris Fashion Week and other overseas events. On Monday, she resurrected Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s rehearsal dress from the archives, then she followed that up with an oversized Saint Laurent suit for the house’s memorable runway show on Tuesday. Making it three-for-three, on Wednesday, Sept. 30, Bieber’s gold dress instantly became NYE inspo for those who are already dreaming of holiday dressing.

Lately it seems the Saint Laurent ambassador has been embracing minimalism more than ever — as evidenced by the aforementioned Narciso Rodriguez dress from Cerruti’s spring 1997 collection. So when she arrived at the Café Rhode pop-up at Paris bistro La Bonaparte Wednesday evening, it was no surprise that she was chic yet understated in a metallic babydoll mini dress styled simply with matching strappy sandals and a diamond bracelet. Bieber kept the shimmering champagne-colored Saint Laurent dress as the star of the show with her newly chocolate brown hair down and loose with a manicure to match.

Whether she was aware of it or not, Bieber got fashion followers everywhere already giddily planning their holiday looks. It hits all the usual marks: sparkly, sexy, and able to be layered up as the season cools down (just add a black blazer and tights). Beyond that, the simple silhouette also has that ‘90s nostalgia factor that’s still a major trend. It’s something you might have expected to see on Jennifer Aniston or Kate Moss three decades ago.

That said, you certainly don’t have to wait for the holidays to copy the Rhode founder’s look — even if you can’t get your hands on her exact gold Saint Laurent dress. Look for hallmark characteristics like a micro-mini length, an empire waist, and a lingerie-inspired bodice. And of course, it should sparkle like a disco ball on New Year’s Eve. For even more Bieber-esque styling, keep your hair, makeup, and accessories pared down. It nods to the ‘90s while still feeling timeless — the kind of look that truly never goes out of style.

While some might see an obsession as a negative or unhealthy inclination, Chemena Kamali is choosing to see it as a good, nay, great thing. Indeed, obsessions can spark joy, inspiration, and creativity — not to mention Chloé’s latest collection for Spring/Summer 2027. In official show notes, the creative director explains the little things that she loves, in regards to both the brand and fashion in general.

“I wanted something deeply personal – to return to things I love, the emotions they trigger in me,” she says in the official notes for the Oct. 1 show, which took place at the L’Observatoire De Paris. “It felt liberating to work this way, to listen to the resonance of everything I feel for Chloé.”

This includes leaning into the romantic retro-bohemian aesthetic that the label is known for, but with a touch of Old World refinement. A shining example of this was the elaborately fringed skirt-and-pant sets topped with heavy, structured blouses that resembled neoclassic chandeliers set in neutral hues of mauve and vivid white. In the same vein, intricately embroidered dressing gowns with voluminous, puffed ruffled sleeves, corseted bodices, and lacy lingerie-inspired ball gowns with layered, bubbled silhouettes took a captivated audience back to 19th-century boudoirs.

“We precisely referenced 19th-century archival threadwork, translating it to fabrics ranging from the lightest of organzas to crisp, heavy cottons,” read the show notes.

It wouldn’t be a Kamali collection without a hefty dose of carefree bohemian spirit from yesteryear and Spring/Summer 2027 delivered in spades. Retro floral embroidery, whimsical scalloped collars, and fitted, tailored Bianca Jagger-inspired suiting (inspired by the label’s original 1972 ‘Noel’ suit) all felt like a welcome return to a simpler time, as well as a nod to the French brand’s “prêt-à-porter” roots.

Kamali is seemingly obsessed with throwback outerwear, as evidenced by the caped raincoats and coordinating wide-brimmed take on the “sou’wester” hat. “Over these silhouettes, I layered transparent vinyl in smoky shades drawing on the rainwear of the 1950s, to create graphic and sharp silhouettes,” explained Kamali in show notes.

Also worth noting was an emerging accessory trend already seen at Dior: the singular accent earring. While Anderson showcased models with trailing petal-adorned floral pieces, Kamali opted for heavily embellished shoulder-grazing jeweled statement styles worn on one ear. It’s only a matter of time until the it girls get the memo and start jumping on the single-earring bandwagon.

Ahead, highlights from Chloé’s obsession-worthy collection.

While some iconic fashion houses have distanced themselves from their usual trademarks, others are leaning all the way in — and that includes the work Creative Director Chemena Kamali continues to do at the helm of Chloé. For decades, the French label has won over A-list fans like Sienna Miller, Kirsten Dunst, Jennifer Lopez, and many more for its signature bohemian touches like layered skirts and dresses, late ‘60s and ‘70s-inspired silhouettes, soft textures, and delicate needlework. The luxury brand’s latest collection includes all of these expected calling cards with a subtle freshness, namely in terms of vibrant pops of color. And attendees got the memo, with actors, supermodels, and other trendsetters seated in the front row of the Chloé Spring/Summer 2027 runway show sporting canary yellow, cherry red, and lilac amid a sea of standard neutrals.

The show, which took place on Thursday, Oct. 1 during Paris Fashion Week, was a “who’s who” of Chloé devotees — ranging from the legacy icons like Claudia Schiffer and Lou Doillon to more emerging stars like Maude Apatow. Other notable guests included Cynthia Erivo, Alexa Chung, Soo Joo Park, and Claire Danes, to name just a few. The impressive crew made sure to embrace the house’s codes, with a series of lingerie-inspired camisoles, lace-trimmed knits, platform clogs, and, of course, Paddington bags in every size and shape.

As a more surprising addition to the usual suspects was the bold use of color, which also played out in the runway presentation. Whether used as an accent or the main attraction of their ensemble, Chloé’s front row guests were sure to intersperse their looks with saturated shades. See all the chromatic moments ahead.

Cynthia Erivo

Mixing cherry red, cobalt blue, and muted purple with classic black and white, Erivo embodied Chloé’s current direction.

Alexa Chung

The evergreen it girl took a more subtle approach to color, with a pale yellow and blue satin camisole and coordinating bag.

Maude Apatow

The Euphoria actor’s canary yellow knit mini with lace bib detail was anchored by leather accessories in a classic fall shade: chocolate brown.

Claudia Schiffer

While the supermodel wasn’t one of the attendees who chose to wear vibrant shades, she still looked as chic as ever in a stark white suit.

Claire Danes

The star of The Beast in Me paired a pale blush cropped blazer with voluminous black pants.

Lou Doillon

The model and French style icon’s look was all about a pair of cherry red leather pants, which she paired with a blue button-down, structured grey blazer, and camel leather thigh-high boots.

Taylor Hill

Wearing high-waisted denim with a cropped lilac sweater, Hill followed the neutrals-paired-with-brights theme of the day.

Soo Joo Park

The model and musician topped a light lavender slip dress with an olive green leather bomber, all layered over grey knit tights.

New York City is magical all year, but the Big Apple does feel especially romantic around the holidays. The department store displays, the tree at Rockefeller Center, ice skating in Central Park — NYC and the merriest season just go together. So when Bobbi Brown Cosmetics embarked on a holiday partnership, it made perfect sense to collaborate with another Manhattan institution: The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Launching Oct. 1, 2026, Bobbi Brown x The Met is a limited-edition collection that marries iconic products by the former with iconic pieces of art held by the latter. Beloved Bobbi Brown formulas such as the Luxe Lipstick, Luxe Eyeshadow, and Extra Lip Tinted Balm come housed in packaging bearing works by artists including Claude Monet, Gustav Klimt, and Henri-Edmond Cross.

“Bobbi Brown Cosmetics has always had such a strong connection to New York City, its vibrancy and beauty aesthetic, so it was a dream come true to collaborate with The Met, a true New York City icon,” says Cassandra Garcia, global pro artist for Bobbi Brown Cosmetics.

And the tie to the City That Never Sleeps wasn’t the only thing that made the collab such a natural fit. “When I think of makeup and how it helps someone enhance their natural beauty, I think of how an artist uses paints, blending colors and textures to create a beautiful piece of art; how the colors blend into each other, their placement, and how light hits the skin,” says Garcia.

One artistic movement, in particular, really resonated with the teams. “We were completely aligned on choosing art from the Impressionist period,” says Garcia. “The artists’ use of color and imagery to reflect true beauty aligns perfectly with the brand’s philosophy of bringing out a person’s individual beauty through use of complementary colors and naturally enhancing features.”

The featured works include Cross’ “Landscape with Stars,” Klimt’s “Mäda Primavesi,” Redon’s “Pandora,” and “Bouquet of Sunflowers” by Monet. “Once the works of art were chosen, we created color stories inspired by each painting,” Garcia says. Her personal favorite? A Parisian Red Luxe Lipstick wrapped in “Pandora.” “The pairing of this stunning packaging with such a beautiful shade of red is truly special to me,” she says.

Bobbi Brown x The Met is available now at BobbiBrown.com, select Bobbi Brown counters, and authorized retailers worldwide.

Every scent evokes an emotion. In Scent Stories, TZR asks tastemakers, celebrities, and industry insiders to share the stories behind the smells of their past and present.

Between an award-winning acting career, running the successful newsletter Beau Society, and becoming a first-time mom, Hailee Steinfeld has a full plate. And when your iCal is consistently jam-packed, it’s easy to get caught up in your schedule and gloss over the little slices of joy that add to your day. Making these tiny mood-boosting moments more of a priority is the inspiration behind Estée Lauder’s new fragrance, Glimmer, an ambery-floral gourmand scent. The relatable concept is what drew Steinfeld to signing on as campaign star.

“I loved the idea of a glimmer because I think we all have these tiny moments throughout the day that can completely change our mood. I put so much emphasis on these tiny little pockets of joy in my day-to-day life that can so easily be just brushed over,” the actor tells The Zoe Report. “I’m a very sentimental person, so I love anything that connects emotion to a sensory experience.”

What made this role so special was that it also marked Steinfeld’s return to music. She recorded a cover of Nina Simone’s “Feeling Good” for the campaign spot. “It was such an amazing experience bringing it to life and being a part of something so big and so special, and getting to sing in the campaign was incredibly special to me,” she shares. “It felt like a really personal way to tell a story with fragrance, and I love that.”

Ahead, Steinfeld shares the scent memories she holds closest.

The Glimmers In Her Life

“Oh my gosh, there are so many. My daughter laughing is probably number one right now. I would say my dogs losing their mind when I walk through the door, my husband making me laugh, especially when I absolutely do not feel like laughing. Oh, God, what else? A really good workout, a cup of tea at the perfect temperature, and honestly, music. I feel like there are certain songs that can change my entire mood in three minutes.”

How She Likes To Wear Glimmer

“I love fragrance when it feels a little unexpected, but I guess, is it unexpected if it's just an everyday part of your routine? I'll put it on before I get dressed, even if I'm just home for the day. I love that feeling of getting ready for yourself even when nobody is going to see you. I feel like that can set the tone for the day that you want to have. And then obviously, before dinner or going out, I will add a little more.

This fragrance feels very me. It's feminine and warm. I am very mood-driven as well, but I feel like it's somehow that perfect cherry on top of any look I'm going for, any feeling I want to feel, and any vibe I'm setting out for that day or night. So it's the perfect finishing touch for me.”

The Role Fragrance Plays In Her Life

“Fragrance is like a time capsule, and that’s the role it plays in my life. I've become extra aware of it in the last few months, where I’ve smelled something and have been completely catapulted to another time.

I've been thinking so much about this with Glimmer and through my newsletter, Beau Society. I've talked to so many readers about scent memories and experiences that have a correlation to a strong scent.

Scent can just teleport you to a different age or being with a certain person. So I think that's what makes fragrance so emotional.”

Her Earliest Scent Memory

“The very first that pops into my mind is my mom's perfume. I think it’s probably the most powerful one because you don't even realize that those memories and those ties are being created when you're so little. But I can distinctly remember my mom, and I still see her do it now, that putting on her fragrance is her final step before, ‘I'm about to walk out of the room and take on the world in whatever capacity.’ Watching my mom get ready has always seemed like such a fabulous thing to me; doing her hair, doing her makeup, getting dressed, and then running back into her bathroom just to spritz on her perfume.

But I had a moment the other day where I was blowing up a splash pad for my daughter. I was totally frustrated by it because it wasn't happening as quickly as I wanted it to. When it did fill up with air, and that smell of that plastic pool toy came to life, it took me back to childhood. I was like, ‘Oh my God, I'm about to play colors in the pool with my brother and my dad.’ Maybe that's so random, but that scent was distinct thing. And that was summer, that was pool days, that was family, that was friends, that was sunshine and being outside; it all came back to me.”

The Scent Of Joy

“I would say it smells like being outside in the sunshine and having nowhere to be.”

The Scent Of Comfort

“Comfort smells like a really beautiful home at nighttime with soft lighting, clean sheets on the bed, your favorite people around, and the smell of some really yummy food cooking in the oven.”

The Scent Of Hope

“Hope would be something fresh. I'm looking outside, and it’s been raining on and off. So it’s like the smell of the ground after it rains.”

The Scent Of Nostalgia

“I would say my mom's perfume, apparently, a splash pad, and maybe sunscreen. There are certain summer smells that take me back to being a kid, and sunscreen is for sure up there as well.”

Glimmer Eau de Parfum

Notes of raspberry mousse accord, orange flower, macaron rose accord, amber embrace accord, and patchouli come together to create an unforgettable fruity-floral gourmand scent.

The bob might be the most popular short haircut of the moment (if not the decade), but its even shorter sisters are giving it some serious competition. Pixies, bixies, and buzzcuts are seeing a major uptick in popularity — both in Hollywood and among the Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2027 street style crowd.

Attendees sported above-the-ear haircuts including close-to-the-skull buzzcuts; short, razor-cut pixies in bold shades of blonde; a chic update to the bowl cut hairstyle; and a glossy, ear-skimming bixie that perfectly straddled the line between a French bob and a classic bob.

All signify a shifting tide toward going even shorter than the classic bob. As hairstylist Alex Pardoe told TZR in August, the wispy pixie — “a longer, softer take on a traditional pixie, with extra length through the top and around the face” — is one of fall 2026’s trendiest haircuts, thanks to its “feminine, cool” energy and surprising versatility. “A small amount of styling cream or pomade is usually all you need to add definition and piece out the ends, and you can switch between sleek and textured depending on the look you want.”

Ahead, check out the pixies, bixies, and buzzcuts of PFW S/S ‘27.

Bowl-Cut Bixie

With a glossy finish and wispy bangs, this bixie gives the classic bowl cut a chic upgrade.

Cheetah-Print Buzzcut

Who says a buzzcut can’t be versatile? This cheetah print look might be one of the season’s most creative street style moments.

Razor-Cut Pixie

A choppy razor-cut like this one is a great way to add visual volume to thinner or finer hair types.

Sleek Bixie

Not quite a French bob, not quite a pixie, this might just be the Platonic ideal of a bixie cut.

Classic Buzzcut

Talk about a “wake up, and you’re out the door” hairstyle. This chic buzzcut is as punk rock as it is elegant.

Accessorized Pixie

Cute clips and fun headbands just hit different on an immaculate pixie cut.

Platinum Pixie

Pixies make a statement on their own, for sure, but a shocking platinum blonde shade ups the impact even more.

Considering the fact that Anne Hathaway has gone on record to say that her third pregnancy was a surprise, she wasted no time leaning all the way in and embracing her maternity style. 2026 has been a banner year for the The Devil Wears Prada 2 star, with one press junket after the next as she released a slew of film projects — giving her plenty of opportunities to hone her particular brand of bump-friendly fashion. And now, as her year of promotion (and her pregnancy) reaches its end, she seemingly capped things off with one of her most epic. Anne Hathaway’s maternity ballgown by Prabal Gurung is arguably the pinnacle of her press run, cementing her spot alongside stars like Rihanna, Sienna Miller, and Jennifer Lawrence as a muse for expectant (and non-expectant) women everywhere.

On Tuesday evening, the actor and soon-to-be mother of three graced the red carpet for the New York City premiere of Verity at AMC Lincoln Square in a strapless, drop-waist ballgown — a custom creation by the NYC-based luxury label. With its sweetheart neckline, tonal embellishments, voluminous skirt, and tulle cape, the gown completely encapsulated classic old Hollywood glamour. And as expected, the Bvlgari ambassador was also decked out in jewels by the brand, including a Serpenti bracelet and ring and jeweled drop earrings.

The Odyssey star, who has been working with long-time stylist Erin Walsh throughout this latest press run, clearly loves the way Prabal Gurung suits her pregnancy style, as she chose a high-low crop top by the label for the The End of Oak Street premiere last month. Other recent highlights include a Prada gown with a crystal-covered bodice, a Moncler Canadian tuxedo, a boho Blumarine mini dress with thigh-high boots, and a goddess-inspired McQueen gown — each one reimagining what maternity fashion can be and embracing the individuality that has made Hathaway one to watch through every phase of both her career and her personal life.

If this dazzling ballgown marks her final maternity style moment, she is certainly ending her impressive series of looks with a bang. Either way, we cannot wait to see what she does next.

In the latest installment in the Colleen Hooververse, Verity, Dakota Johnson plays a writer tasked with finishing a book series started by Verity Crawford, a bestselling author played by Anne Hathaway — and while I haven’t read the book, I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that the film will do something with the duo’s similarities. While they don’t necessarily look alike, there are some undeniable commonalities between the two: They’re statuesque, they’re brunettes, and they know the power of a matching red lip and red nail moment.

At the Verity premiere, held Sept. 29 in New York City, Johnson hit the red carpet in a rich, vampy crimson lip, courtesy of makeup artist Georgie Eisdell (whose IG comments are filled with requests to name the shade). The ruby pout popped against the star’s beaded-white Calvin Klein two-piece set, styled by Kate Young. It also paired perfectly with her manicure: A bright red set by nail artist Ashlie Johnson.

The matchy-matchy look was very similar to one worn by Hathaway earlier this month. For BVLGARI’s "Serpenti Infinito" Celebration party, the Devil Wears Prada 2 star stepped out with a lighter, neutral red lip and deeper, crimson nails. (So kind of the inverse of Dakota’s red-on-red hues.)

Speaking of Hathaway: Back at the Verity premiere, the actor wore a strapless black Atelier Prabal Gurung gown — which many interpreted as a fun, intentional contrast to Johnson’s all-white ensemble. Duo method dressing? Intriguing.

When you think of Anthony Vaccarello’s decade-long run as creative director of Saint Laurent, a few signature codes come to mind: achromatic dressing, structured silhouettes, sharp tailoring, a seamless blend of masculine and feminine motifs. And as the iconic fashion house — and specifically Vaccarello — continues to collect a legion of loyal celebrity fans, certain A-listers have adopted them as their trademarks as well. So of course, as the designer presented Saint Laurent’s Spring/Summer 2027 collection, the front row was filled with the style icons you’d expect in looks that embody what the label is all about.

On Tuesday, Sept. 29, at Fontaine du Trocadéro, the Belgian designer showed off a series of opulent ensembles — metallic gold trench coats and windbreakers paired with textured pencil skirts, fur-trimmed lace and brocade — all bathed in the warm light of a larger-than-life chandelier with the Eiffel Tower shimmering in the background. And to witness his gilded vision come to life, the creative director dreamed up a guest list of actors, supermodels, and French icons who got the all-black memo as they strolled into the show in combinations of sheer, lacy slip dresses and separates, oversized suit jackets, and or course, coordinating eyewear (yes, even at night).

Saint Laurent devotees like Zoë Kravitz and Hailey Bieber were in attendance for what Vaccarello has called a deeply personal show, as were supermodels Carla Bruni, Kate Moss, and Jerry Hall. Additionally, more auteurs, French actors, and pop stars happily brought their monochromatic looks to the event in honor of this exquisite presentation. Ahead, see some of the standouts and how they dressed for the occasion.

Zoë Kravitz

In a two-piece black lace look with coordinating slingbacks, Kravitz opted to embody Saint Laurent’s more romantic side. Jessica McCormack diamond earrings and bracelets completed the look.

Hailey Bieber

No stranger to the fashion house’s oversized suits, the Rhode founder selected the signature silhouette once again with a single-button blazer and pants, paired with oval-shaped sunglasses and Jessica McCormack hoop earings.

Rosé

The K-Pop star chose a fitted black leather jacket with bow closures, which she styled alongside skinny black pants and slingbacks.

Kate Moss

The OG supermodel and longtime Saint Laurent lover attended the show in a 70s-inspired black velvet dress with blousant sleeves. A black belt with a gold buckle and lace-up boots completed this quintessentially YSL look.

Zoe Saldaña

Pairing two of Saint Laurent’s classic codes — sheer lace and sharp suiting — the Oscar winner arrived in a lingerie-inspired slip dress and tuxedo jacket.

Adèle Exarchopoulos

The embodiment of effortless Parisian style, Exarchopoulos accessorized her structured black suit with a matching fur muff.

Carla Bruni

An icon of French style, Bruni also adopted the lingerie-inspired trend in a sheer lace LBD. And of course it wouldn’t be a Saint Laurent look without a pair of sunglasses.

On Tuesday evening, Saint Laurent presented perhaps the most quintessentially Paris Fashion Week show, hosting press, talent, clients, and friends of the house to take in Anthony Vaccarello’s Spring/Summer 2027 collection beneath a larger-than-life ornate gold chandelier and glittering Eiffel Tower.

The setting’s opulence was not just an aesthetically pleasing choice, but rather a reflection of the clothing itself. As jazzy organ chords filled the outdoor venue, the first model appeared on the massive catwalk, sporting a gilded lamé tech jacket and matching pencil skirt. The two-piece set was made all the more dramatic by a billowing silk scarf knotted around the neck, with its excess fabric lingering behind in the wind, acting as a train.

“Nothing radiates and reflects light like gold, and it’s that single evocative color which defines Anthony Vaccarello’s Saint Laurent Summer 2027 collection,” read the show notes. “It has a long history with the house, of course, as Monsieur Saint Laurent himself adored it. ‘I love gold, it’s a magical color,’ he once said. ‘When reflecting a woman, it’s the color of the sun.’”

A slew of similar looks followed the first, with the most noticeably different detail consistently being the material’s shade of gold. Brassier yellows led the charge, while pale, faded, amber, antique, burnt, and rosy iterations appeared in a sequence of varying silhouettes. The metallic hue made up 49 of 59 total looks, a choice by Vaccarello that “allows him to explore once more the power of repetition,” the notes explain. Gold is “magical and mythical, can alchemically transform everything it touches,” they continue. “His use of gold, pervasive, hypnotic, almost obsessive, isn’t merely about ornamentation, but purpose and emotion.”

And the show was certainly emotional. The aforementioned organ soundtrack alluded to that of a funeral, and the overwhelming number of front-row celebs — such as Hailey Bieber, Zoë Kravitz, Rosé, Carla Bruni, Jerry Hall, Francis Ford Coppola, Mark Ronson, and more — were all cloaked in black, as if to mourn the end of an era. With this show marking almost 10 years to the day that Vaccarello made his creative director debut at Saint Laurent — plus the incredible magnitude of the event itself (which was designed to look like the ballroom where Saint Laurent, the designer, hosted his couture salons) — it’s not so far-fetched to infer this could have been the Belgian designer’s last with the maison.

“A light shines all the more brightly because we know it cannot be held,” Vaccarello wrote in his notes. “What passes sometimes leaves more light than what remains.”

To call the last 10 years a golden age for Saint Laurent would be a major understatement. Since taking the helm of the label in 2016 (with his successor Hedi Slimane’s grunge glamour legacy looming over him), the now-44-year-old has crafted his own singularly recognizable look that is synonymous with both himself and modern Saint Laurent. The oversized-yet-sexy black blazer and leather capris combo that, in many ways, kickstarted Bieber’s run as a certified fashion player; the ‘80s style suiting of Spring/Summer 2025 that is a direct callback to the original couturier’s specialty; and the sequin-covered black-and-white animal-print shoulder-padded party dresses of indie sleaze moodboard dreams are all just a few examples of Vaccarello’s indisputable impact on both fashion and culture.

Many of those same pillars remain in Spring/Summer 2027, with additional signatures like funnel-neck velvet coats, cropped denim-like lamé jackets, drapey silk blouses that flow like liquid, and plisée camisoles with intricate embroideries filling out the collection.

As the final walk played out under the sparkling Paris sky, French actor and singer (and daughter of Jane Birkin, as well as muse to Vaccarello) Charlotte Gainsbourg rose from her seat, making her way to center stage for a performance of a seemingly original song — an ode to Saint Laurent and Vaccarello.

“Women smoking like loaded guns, Paris dissolving beneath the drums // She whispers slowly while the saxophone bleeds blue // You’re so much, Yves Saint Laurent,” Gainsbourg sang. “Decadence walking through the dark // Every sin dressed elegant, again // Anthony, you are so much.”

On cue, Vaccarello stepped up to the runway to take his bow alongside the cast and Gainsbourg, looking particularly stoic and prideful, if I do say so myself.

While the rumors of the designer stepping down are just that — rumors — for now, regardless of whether this will be his last presentation for the brand or merely another hit collection to add to his résumé, Vaccarello undoubtedly delivered a breathtaking, history-making show that will surely leave a significant mark on his fans, contemporaries, and the designers who follow.

Below, see more highlights from the Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2027 show.

In the age of social media, sometimes a fateful DM is all it takes to land a job. At least, that’s how Gunnar Deatherage started designing custom looks for Chappell Roan. The fashion designer shot his shot one day, reaching out to the Grammy-winning musician’s stylist, Genesis Webb, after seeing her buzzy wardrobe at Coachella in 2024. “I was just like, ‘this girl is doing something so cool,’ and I wanted to be a part of it,” he tells TZR.

Just months after the music festival, Deatherage created Roan’s now-iconic swan costume for the artist’s performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “Genesis came over to my garage, which was my studio when I lived in Pasadena, and we just kind of talked about everything,” Deatherage explains. The stylist brought along sketches of Roan’s upcoming looks and asked Deatherage which one he wanted to take on. He immediately gravitated toward the swan — and had just three days to bring the design to life.

It was clearly a success, given that Deatherage has created a number of Roan’s looks ever since, including her Saturday Night Live performance outfit and a clown masquerade-inspired costume for the Orange Festival in Warsaw, both of which were collaborations with his now-husband, multimedia artist Christopher Minafo. Much like the swan moment, Roan’s festival look quickly gained traction online. “My fiancé painted her face on the bustier; that was a six-day turnaround on the whole thing,” says Deatherage. “It’s kind of turned into this collaboration between the two of us with them, and I’m really thankful for it,” he adds of working alongside Minafo with Roan and her team.

Today, Deatherage is behind some of Hollywood’s most memorable looks, but his creative beginnings were far more humble. “I'm from a small town in Indiana that kind of borders along Louisville, Kentucky, and so, you know, we were super creative growing up,” he shares. “There wasn't access to a lot of anything really, and so I grew up with a grandmother who was a seamstress who was such a big inspiration for me, and I just loved it.”

Deatherage likens the feeling he first experienced while designing to having a superpower. “I always wanted to be better at it; being as professional as possible was important to me,” he recalls. When it came time for college, however, the designer couldn’t afford to enroll, so he pursued beauty school instead. “Beauty school paid for fashion until fashion paid for fashion,” Deatherage shares.

His first big break was landing a spot on Project Runway Season 9 in 2011. “In some ways, I think Project Runway acted as, like, a degree from college,” Deatherage reflects. Only 21 at the time, Deatherage suddenly had an audience for his work. “I was able to prove to myself I could make clothing, so it was really formative in that way,” he says. During those early years of designing, Deatherage was largely inspired by the idea of simply being able to construct clothing, meaning many of his pieces were more rudimentary than experimental.

These days, though, Deatherage is constantly raising the bar for himself and taking on new challenges — like, for instance, creating 15 gowns and multiple suits for his wedding to Minafo last month. “The process has been crazy,” he says of the year-and-a-half-long undertaking. “We've treated this like we’re basically releasing a collection together.” Deatherage continued to advance his skill set while designing the wedding looks, working with fabrics like tulle and chiffon, which are notoriously tricky to master, he says.

However, Deatherage’s “wedding collection” hasn’t been the only project on the docket this year. This time, it was Deatherage who received a DM about a custom design for an A-lister, with stylist Nicolas Bru reaching out on behalf of Shakira. Bru asked Deatherage to create an outfit for her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, marking the designer’s first-ever tour look. He ended up making a metallic top and coordinating fringe skirt in various colors, from bronze to blue.

“Then in the midst of all of that, they came and asked us to do her World Cup look for the music video for ‘Die Die,’” he recalls. Deatherage and Minafo then flew to Miami, where they had just four days to create Shakira’s turquoise fringe-and-bead ensemble, along with costumes for her five dancers.

Deatherage has been finding inspiration in the Gilded Age as of late. “I’m a huge history buff,” he says. “I just, like, think what an interesting glimpse into American history, even if it’s, you know, a little bit far-fetched.” He looked that far back in history when creating Chappell Roan’s aforementioned looks, such as her festival ensemble. “We really referenced kind of niche things in history, and it was cool to be able to give our take on that,” he shares. “I think that that’s an era where you get to mix and match mediums and colors and textures, and you just get to play, really.”

Recently, Deatherage took on an assignment unlike any of his past work: creating a dress out of Viva paper towels. “I was like, ‘I’m going to treat this very much like a Gunnar challenge,’” he says. Flexing his design muscles, Deatherage transformed the household staple into a 1960s-inspired baby blue gown, complete with a floor-sweeping train (see here). “I was able to dye it and manipulate it, and it just held up because it is durable,” he shares of the cloth-like product. For Deatherage, the partnership offered a welcome opportunity to experiment and push his creativity in a new direction.

Though Deatherage has clearly achieved a lot in his career, there’s one area he’d still love to explore: the film industry. “I think it is a hard job, and a thankless job sometimes, but I would love to do a really costume-heavy film,” he shares. “That’s a dream of mine.” Until then, keep your eyes peeled for more celebrity costume moments — and, perhaps, another unexpected paper towel design.

September’s back-to-school energy probably has you feeling like you should completely overhaul your life, from establishing a productive weekday morning routine to revamping your entire beauty routine post-summer. Yes, it doesn’t matter how old you are, the month will always feel like the beginning of a fresh start. The best new beauty launches of September 2026 are on the same wavelength. These upgrades to your current skin care, makeup, and hair care lineups will help you tweak your routine to the fluctuating, cooler temps, and in turn, hopefully prevent seasonal struggles such as dry lips and static stands.

Dryness is arguably the most common fall beauty concern, and there are plenty of just-released products to help you on all fronts. For skin care, Lennox And Sixteenth have made soothing, non-stripping toner pads, and Clé de Peau’s latest moisturizer is restorative and strengthens the skin barrier. Makeup brands have also recognized your skin can use all the extra hydration. MAC’s dewy skin tint has a serum-like formula, while MAKE UP FOR EVER’s lip tints double as conditioning balms. Finally, your hair will stay soft and smooth, thanks to Goldwell’s multitasking leave-in spray and Dyson’s snag-proof blow-dry brush.

Keep reading for all of the month’s standout launches.

Whirlwind is perhaps the best way to sum up fashion month. Year after year, the style pack flocks to New York, then London, followed by Milan, before ending things in Paris (the festivities actually begin in Copenhagen, if we’re talking about all the cities). Somehow, for the Spring/Summer 2027 season, we’ve already reached the last stop: the City of Light. And, as always, it seems fashion attendees saved their best outfits for the final hurrah — at least judging by the looks outside the Paris Fashion Week shows so far.

You can always count on the French fashion set (and those in town for the shows) to step out in some of the season’s hottest looks during PFW. And such was the case on day one, with a steady stream of trends hitting the streets. For instance, fur-trimmed outerwear appears poised for a major moment this fall, at least in Paris. One guest contrasted her fuzzy coat with an embellished midi skirt, a statement combo that’s bound to strike a chord with maximalist dressers. Prints are also out in full force — zebra, checkered, and everything in between.

Day 3

Dark-wash jeans instantly dress up a preppy polo top, as proven by model and actor Bar Refaeli.

This attendee brought her fashion A-game to Paris, accessorizing with a long fringe necklace and high-shine belt.

Styling hack: Swap a blazer button for a brooch.

Yes, a long trench coat can moonlight as a dress.

A subtle way to partake in the camo print trend? Tie a button-down in the pattern around your waist.

Day 2

According to fashion girl Ludovica Sciatti, bug-eye sunglasses are still very much en vogue this fall.

Michelle Li, a stylist and content creator, faced the gloomy weather in style, pairing an animal print jacket with a ruffled skirt in the same color scheme.

A silly little hat is sure to add some personality to your look.

Photographer and it girl Olivia Galli grounded a fringe skirt with a wool jacket.

Content creator Tina Leung made a bold statement in a paisley peplum jacket and embellished pants.

Double the plaid, double the fun.

Day 1

Black, white, and pastel pink is a color trio worth trying.

French model Flora Coquerel layered a structured corset over a crisp white button-up, finishing the look with raspberry-colored pants.

Between the Nomasei loafers and textured PLEATSMAMA bag, this look was a true showstopper.

Content creator Kenza Bel Kenadil oozed romance in a voluminous sheer gown adorned with pink flowers.

The only way to describe this street style moment is très chic.

A slouchy tote bag can, apparently, moonlight as a clutch.

Blurred lines. That’s how I might sum up Jonathan Anderson’s creative vision in the (very) simplest of terms. Indeed, the Northern Ireland native has become known for embracing the tension between different elements: Surrealism, sculpture, nature, craft. Emerging during his 11-year tenure at Loewe, this exploration is fully materializing at Dior. His collections over the past year have captivated and stunned the fashion set, thanks to his expert skill of reshaping the brand’s traditional design codes and silhouettes. This talent was showcased yet again for Spring/Summer 2027.

Anderson debuted his nature-inspired collection at the Le Bassin Octogonal in the Jardin des Tuileries, Paris, amidst a cluster of specially installed camphor trees (which “will be replanted in the Tuileries so they can continue to flourish in the years to come,” according to a post on Dior’s Instagram account). Ahead of the show, the designer teased his vision, stating the traditional Chinese practice of hand-rolling wénwán walnuts was an heavy influence on the label’s spring offering.

“Typically, a pair is held in one hand and each walnut rotated around the other until — over time — their surface acquires a smooth sheen,” reads the caption for the Sept. 29 post. “Pairs that are similar in shape and size are difficult to find and especially prized. Perfect symmetry is elusive.”

This unique asymmetry was explored in the airy, mix-and-match looks that walked the mist-lined runway. Models emerged in sheer, ultra-feminine takes on spring suiting: feather-light mesh blazers were layered over similarly transparent takes on the classic Oxford blouse, paired with asymmetrical silk mini-skirts that resembled flowers near bloom. Florals were definitely a running theme for the collection (Miranda Priestly be damned), from the textured blazers covered in petal-inspired embellishments and printed midi-skirts that resembled a fine watercolored masterpiece you might find in a Parisian museum.

Speaking of skirts, the once neglected bottom which was the recent star of Prada’s latest runway show, also seemed to be at top of mind for Anderson. The piece was celebrated in a variety of forms: gauzy minis, asymmetrical ankle-grazing silhouettes, fluted, pleated, accented with tulle trim. It’s official: 2027 will be the year of the statement skirt.

And while soft neutrals and quiet pastels made up the collection, a clear color champion reigned: baby pink. Also rampant on the London Fashion Week runways in more vibrant renditions, Anderson’s approach to the shade, skews more ballet slipper than bubblegum, splashed on the aforementioned petal-covered blazers, high-low ruffled skirts, pleated chiffon dresses, and statement handbags (a standout was the fringe-covered tote that will certainly be an it girl fave in the coming months).

See the highlights from Anderson’s dreamy vision for spring.

As one of the most buzzed about labels in recent history, Matières Fécales (more commonly known as its English translation, “Fecal Matter”) was poised to have a powerful presence at this season’s Paris Fashion Week. The avant-garde luxury fashion house always puts on a dramatic presentation, but for its Spring/Summer 2027 runway show on Monday, September 28, the hype grew even more with one very notable front row guest. Dressed in a tinsel-textured skirt suit by Matières Fécales, Rihanna solidified the brand’s it girl appeal as well as the Fenty founder’s affinity for dramatic jackets.

The show, which Montreal-based design duo Hannah Rose Dalton and Steven Raj Bhaskaran titled “The Ninety Nine Percent,” took place at Paris’ Place de la République and unsurprisingly featured an inclusive selection of models (from pregnant women to body builders) as well as some poetic, conceptual looks. But even as models with mohawks, head wraps, and structured feather gowns walked the runway with businessmen mannequins over their shoulders, the “Diamonds” singer’s deconstructed metallic suit still managed to pull focus.

Referred to as “golden thread knit couture” on Matières Fécales’s social media, this fringed fitted jacket and matching midi-length pencil skirt had a deconstructed sensibility, without losing its luxurious quality. A nod to trendy lingerie-inspired dressing — as well as her role as founder for an intimates label — Rihanna styled the skirt suit with a sheer black bra and finished off the look with black patent leather Christian Louboutin pumps and a matching bag.

With its exaggerated texture and proportions, the jacket alone was a no-brainer for Rihanna, who famously has a preference for bold outerwear. From vintage furs and sporty puffers in off-duty moments to epic couture creations at the Met Gala, the fashion and beauty mogul lives for a statement-making jacket or coat — so she was an obvious choice to wear this whimsical style.

Rihanna is just the latest of trendsetters to co-sign Matières Fécales’ avant garde designs. First, Zendaya sported a pair of the label’s angel wings for the Odyssey press junket (which some have considered one of her best looks ever), and then Gabbriette chose the fashion house to dream up her Victorian-inspired wedding dress. With the “Umbrella” singer’s endorsement, and the brand’s buzzworthy PFW show, it’s bound to be more in-demand than ever.

What makes Parisian style so unique is the fact that the city so seamlessly intertwines fashion and visual art. As a destination for some of the world’s best couture and artistic institutions, it only makes sense for the two mediums to commingle — and what better time than Paris Fashion Week to celebrate how one informs the other? That’s exactly what took place at the annual Tiffany & Co. and Musée des Arts Décoratifs dinner on Monday, Sept. 28. For the fourth consecutive year, the iconic jewelry house and world-renowned museum gathered some of the most stylish entertainers, designers, models, entrepreneurs, and influencers to commemorate Jean Schlumberger’s massive archive. And with so many embodying the quintessentially French fashion codes, it was a fitting start to PFW.

As has come to be tradition, this year brought a balanced group of established trendsetters — Anya Taylor-Joy, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Cynthia Erivo — alongside emerging style stars like Chase Sui Wonders and Lena Mahfouf. While the looks ranged from sleek and minimalist to classically romantic, each one managed to feel effortlessly cool in that coveted Parisian way. The roundup also featured quite a few current trends, from monochromatic dressing to fresh takes on menswear. Of course, none of the ensembles were complete without a smattering of Tiffany jewels. Ahead, take a closer look at some of the most impactful looks from the art and fashion-focused evening.

Anya Taylor-Joy

The Lucky star’s satin-and-lace strapless gown captured the romance — and the color palette — of Paris.

Greta Lee

In a black satin pencil skirt and silky button-down, The Last House actor nailed the monochrome dressing brief.

Amanda Seyfried

A little black dress always feels quintessentially French, and Seyfried opted for one in a strapless column silhouette, which she styled with a layered necklace.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

The supermodel’s tailored Saint Laurent tuxedo felt timeless and of-the-moment, all at once.

Cynthia Erivo

Erivo’s head-to-toe leather look by Khaite channeled the edgier side of Parisian style.

Diane Kruger

While other attendees took the minimalist route, the Little Disasters star opted for a floaty floral dress by Erdem.

Chase Sui Wonders

Another take on the LBD, Wonders’ strapless black dress featured dramatic cutouts and draping for a fresh perspective.

Anne Curtis

Breaking up the mostly black color palette, the Filipino actress and host arrived in a butter yellow slip dress by Mark Bumgarner.

Lena Mahfouf

The French social media personality’s off-the-shoulder white dress with dramatic side cutouts stood out in a sea of moody black ensembles.

Anne Watanabe

Wearing a blush nude slip dress and coordinating jacket, the Japanese model and actor also embraced a monochromatic moment.

Fall is always filled with beverage-themed beauty trends, but this year is feeling especially libations-oriented. Mulled Wine and Velvet Espresso both made the cut for the season’s top hair color trends, with Dakota Johnson having already adopted a variation of the latter. Similarly, autumn’s makeup trends include smoky eyes featuring “diffused cocoa, taupe, [and] espresso shades,” per pro makeup artist Charlie Riddle. And it looks like the drinks are coming for our nails, too — because Hailey Bieber just popped up in London with the perfect dark chocolate manicure for fall.

In a post shared on Instagram on Sept. 28 by members of her glam team, Bieber can be seen wearing her decadent new set, created by celebrity manicurist Kim Truong. Glossy and dark brown, the nails evoked a rich cup of mocha (or a dark chocolate Godiva assortment; take your pick). They were the perfect not-quite-black accessory for her minimalist ensemble, which included a vintage Cerruti by Narciso Rodriguez sheath and strappy heels, styled by Dani Michelle.

Rounding out the rest of the beauty, Bieber wore her newly darkened strands in loose, center-parted waves —courtesy of hairstylist Irinel de León — while makeup artist Diane Buzzetta painted the Rhode Beauty founder’s signature soft glam.

Bieber isn’t the only star to rock a chocolatey mani in recent weeks: Earlier this month, both Kerry Washington and Tracee Ellis Ross opted for dark brown nail looks for the opening of the Lucas Museum in Los Angeles. I think it’s safe to say this is a nail trend worth adding to your fall mani menu.

High Sport Kick Pants. Chan Luu Techno Taffeta Barrel pants. The Row Gala Pants. Still Here Sport Jeans. J.Crew Luna Pants. Pants have been top priority for so many in fashion over the last year and change, and I — a forever skirt girl — have waited patiently for the sartorial tides to shift.

Turns out, all it took was one really fabulous Prada show to turn you pantleg-lovers into budding Skirt Girls. Welcome. Miuccia and I have been waiting for you.

ICYMI, Prada’s Spring/Summer 2027 show, appropriately titled “The Skirt,” was a completely pants-free production. All 63 models made their way down the runway in skirts, many of which boasted knee-length pleats, color-blocked chunks, or one of Prada’s signature garish-in-a-good-way funky prints.

“The skirt is a Prada obsession,” the show notes declared, and the statement couldn’t bear more truth. That said, it wasn’t the only skirt-heavy show of the season. Designer Joseph Altuzarra went all in on pencil and A-line midi skirts for a show inspired by the liberated femininity of retreat-goers at Casa Susanna during the ‘50s and ‘60s.

A smattering of exceptionally good skirts also turned heads on the runways at 6397, Alberta Ferretti, Ferragamo, and Jil Sander. Diane von Furstenberg and Connor Ives got the memo on Prada-esque flashy prints. Bottega did theirs with excessive fringe. Burberry’s had dangling drawstrings at the hems.

Still, I feel confident in my claim that the only collection of skirts strong enough to rival Prada’s latest can be found in my own very messy closet. I’ve been a bona fide Skirt Girl as long as I’ve had knees, and over the years of prioritizing midi and maxi skirts above all else, I’ve learned a thing or two about styling skirts to suit any season.

Bella Gerard

The runways are, of course, predicting the Skirtpocalypse come spring and summer, but in the meantime, I’ve gathered up some guidelines for skirt styling this fall.

I know, I know — you just got your hands on the perfect jeans for autumn. I promise you can still work them into rotation when your good skirts are at the cleaners.

Determine Your Happiest Hemline

Though technically both skirts by definition, a micro mini from Guizio and a tiered asymmetrical midi from Tory Burch have about as much in common as Law Roach and my grandmother. I love them both, but they’re very, very different.

You can delight in skirts of every shape and silhouette, but it’s best to get a feel for exactly which lengths work the best for you, so that you can maximize styling potential. For me, longer-length skirts are ideal, and this seems to be the way the industry is trending overall. That said, designers are opting for slightly shorter midis more than any other length, with most styles hitting just below the knee, as opposed to mid-calf.

Proportion Play À La Miuccia Is Encouraged

Does a midi feel more modest than your usual? Fear not. A third of the skirts on the runway at Prada were styled simply with barely-there bralettes or bandeau tops. It’s exactly this level of contrast and proportion play that makes the brand’s approach to skirt styling so exquisite.

If your skirt has a billowing A-line cut, consider something fitted up top. If it’s more bodycon, break out an oversized knit. If you’re committed to the aforementioned micro-minis, a longline tunic top helps give a traditionally night-out look some daytime perspective.

And of course, if you want to embrace Prada’s pro-bra propaganda with your midis and maxis, consider throwing on a baggy bomber or knee-length jacket worn open to make the look a bit more practical for real-life excursions. Outerwear works well in conversation with longer skirts because a layered look creates more interest, even if the pieces in play are simple.

The Bolder The Skirt, The More Versatile

I didn’t own a black skirt until this fall — and I never felt a need for one. The majority of my skirts are patterned, embellished, fringed, or otherwise textured. This makes paring them back to basics a breeze, as well as dressing them up or down depending on the occasion.

Repeat after me: The skirt is the outfit. Capiche? I wear my funkiest skirts time and time again, while my “safety skirts” (think: solid-colored bias-cut satins) gather dust despite their ol’ reliability. Why wear something uninspired when Tibi makes a sculptural nylon bubble midi that feels as versatile as track pants?

Consider Your Footwear Pairings Carefully

I won’t front: the only thing I find intimidating about the trending below-the-knee hemline is the shoe situation. It’s not technically the most flattering cutoff area of the leg for a skirt to hit at. Luckily, the rise of trends like the Wrong Shoe Theory proves there’s really no bad option, so long as you’re making an intentional decision.

For me, the safest shoes here are a kitten heel to show off some leg, or a calf-hugging knee-high boot to cover things completely. Both are sexy in different ways. Of course, you can’t go wrong with a ballet flat, mule, or slim loafer this season. As for color, pattern, and texture, the bolder, the better.

The only thing that really, truly clashes with this length would be a sneaker or loafer that leans chunky, or anything with a platform. But again, Wrong Shoe Theory persists. If you need that extra chunkage, double down on the decision and style with a bold red sock.

The Midi-Cardi Combo Will Never Fail You

For ridiculously easy day-to-day styling, may I present to you my never-fail outfit recipe: The Midi-Cardi Combo. I’ve styled a million different midi skirts with fitted cardigans, and I’ve looked great every single time. Can I say that? It’s the truth!

It matters not the silhouette of the skirt — a cardigan, either buttoned to the top and worn as a shirt, or styled open with a simple tank or tee underneath, pairs well with a midi skirt every single time.

If you want everyday cardis, my go-to’s are from Tuckernuck’s cashmere line, and I have a few great options from Vince as well. For more of a statement, click through the options from Hades Wool, a British knitwear brand known for funky, often irreverent designs (the what's-in-my-bag-inspired Handbag Cardigan is one of my favorites).

While many commuters require a bag that can fit a massive laptop, there are just as many in the 9-to-5 crowd with less extreme toting needs. If you’re on a quest for a bag that’s roomy but not ludicrously capacious, Coach’s Tabby Shoulder Bag 36 offers a stylish solution. The latest and largest in the Tabby collection, the Tabby 36 features the same classic, ‘70s-inspired design and luxurious materials as its sister sizes (the 19, 20, and 26) — but it’s updated with some extra inches to accommodate all your essential items without compromise. Combining chic style with everyday utility, the Tabby 36 is the bag for commuters who travel light — and ahead, you’ll find all the important details, from what it fits to how to style it for work days and weekends alike.

What Fits Inside The Tabby 36 Work Bag?

The Tabby 36 is the Goldilocks of work bags, roomy enough to fit a tablet and notebook without the cumbersome bulk of a giant tote. Measuring in at 14.25-inches long and 7.75-inches high, the Tabby 36 technically can fit a 13-inch laptop, but it’s likely the magnetic clasp won’t close fully (it’s worth checking your laptop’s specs). There’s also room for other daily musts: three main internal compartments separate essentials like a wallet, phone, and small toiletries bag. You could even slip in a pair of foldable ballet flats if you have a feeling your feet will need a break. An inner zipper pocket is the perfect spot for keeping your smallest items handy, like keys and ear buds — since luxury means not having to dig around your bag at the end of a long day.

How To Style The Coach Tabby 36: From Polished In-Office To Casual Off-Duty Days

One of the challenges of a day that involves the office and after-work plans is finding a bag that’s both accommodating of your daily needs and chic enough that it won’t read as merely functional — and the Tabby 36 easily qualifies. Accented by the brand’s iconic gold-toned hardware, with a relaxed foldover top, the minimal rectangular design easily transitions from work to a dinner date. For the office, try it with wide-leg trousers, a sleek turtleneck, and loafers. As the weather cools, pop on a midi trench — the 9-inch strap leaves room to still sling it over your shoulder as you make a mad dash for the train. And since the strap is detachable, you can remove it to carry it as a clutch as you effortlessly transition to post-work plans.

For off-duty days, style it with jeans, a vintage tee, and sneakers, or pair it with slouchy joggers, an oversize button-down, and a blazer thrown on as the late-afternoon temps demand an extra layer. The Tabby 36 is the polished yet practical bag that can handle a weekend filled with errands; you can stash that fresh bottle of conditioner or moisturizer without the hassle of an extra tote.

Is The Coach Tabby 36 Worth The Investment For Everyday Use?

An investment bag that’s intended for daily use needs to hit a couple targets — and the Tabby 36 hits all the marks, making it an easy yes for starting (or adding to) a bag collection. It effortlessly elevates your outfits, while carting all your essentials, while still feeling breezy to throw on and go. With its larger size, you may wonder if it looks bulky when styled as a shoulder bag, but the minimalist silhouette and not-too-long, not-too-short shoulder strap prevent it from appearing at all overwhelming. Crafted from suede, the Tabby 36 is buttery and luxurious — practical but not precious. This is the bag you want to show off, but that’s also built to be used; its high-quality craftsmanship characteristic of a brand known for designs that start out as of-the-moment musts and wind up being handed down from one generation to the next.

Some hats serve a practical purpose — think beanies to ward off the cold in the winter or baseball caps to shield your face from harsh UV rays. Others, however, are purely for fun. In fact, 2026 has been the year of the silly little hat: think a topper with no real function beyond injecting a dose of whimsy into an outfit. And if the Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2027 runways are any indication, the kitschy micro trend isn’t going anywhere next year. Over the past week, Italian designers embraced all manner of quirky, impractical hats.

Louise Trotter, the creative director of Bottega Veneta, led the charge on the look. At the luxury label’s show, silly hats took the spotlight, bringing a playful spirit to the runway. Though Trotter debuted a collection of headwear, one silhouette quickly became the focal point: open-knit styles with exaggerated pointed crowns, seen in colors like stark white and rich purple. The design gave homemade vibes, albeit in the chicest, most luxe way possible. (Craftcore, anyone?) Some were styled with equally statement-making ready-to-wear, like oversized crochet sweaters, while others offset tailored outerwear. Elsewhere, open-weave hats made from knotted fabric strips appeared, along with floppy woven styles.

MM6 Maison Margiela, too, accented ensembles with quirky headwear, namely deconstructed baseball caps with exaggerated, upturned brims. While some came in solid navy blue, others featured playful prints, including classic plaid and a red-and-white design emblazoned with a large “M,” which almost resembled an old soda logo. Emporio Armani, meanwhile, opted for a closely fitted beanie with a folded cuff, as well as a beret with a structured band and a soft, slouchy crown.

Then, over at Antonio Marras, one model donned a cream-colored cap that appeared pieced together from plush fabric. The impractical accessories trend continued at Marco Rambaldi, where small sculptural fascinators commanded attention. Pinned to the side of the head, the whimsical designs featured vintage-looking crochet, wispy feather plumes, and dangling strands.

Clearly, designers at MFW are hell-bent on keeping the industry’s silly little hat trend going into 2027 — and by the looks of it, they’ll be quite successful. Because if labels like Bottega Veneta and MM6 Maison Margiela are on board, you best believe fashion girls will be, too.

In Milan, fashion week is like one of the negronis from the iconic Bar Basso. Or perhaps it’s best compared to a Fellini film. Classic yet outsized, timeless, and also glamorous. The city is home to a handful of the industry’s most iconic houses, and for Spring/Summer 2027, they brought both the overt sexiness and sense of composure Milan is known for.

If London was about romance and New York was about boldness, Milan was about excess, or at times, the stripping away of it. Whether you look to Prada’s statement skirts or Gucci’s sultry take on luxury, the week’s collections seemed to take an idea we thought we understood, and subvert it. It’s a challenge that after a few years of quiet luxury feels welcome, and surprisingly palatable. Revealed lingerie may initially feel incongrious to your existing style, but to see it realized on the runway in so many iterations transforms it into something a little more digestible. After all, where’s the harm in a bralette peaking out from under a sheer tee?

Learn more about the season’s top trends from Milan ahead, from the updates on workwear to the throwback trend that isn’t going anywhere.

The Lingerie Look

Exposed bras were all over the runways in Milan. At Prada, they were paired simply with the show’s many skirts, while elsewhere they were layered under suiting or exposed under dresses. The bra reveal marks part of a larger lingerie-inspired look that popped up at houses like Fendi and Blumarine, defined by a vintage-inspired mix of slinky slips, sheer coverups, and more.

Eyes On The Skirt

Prada’s entire runway show centered around Miuccia’s signature skirting, but elsewhere the style served as an outfit hero as well. While knee- and calf-length styles seemed to dominate, shorter silhouettes popped up too. The message: a skirt can serve as the statement piece in your look.

Switching Up Workwear

For a few years now, workwear has been defined by sleek, quiet luxury silhouettes. That’s now being disrupted thanks to the likes of Jil Sander, Tod’s, and Marni, where fresh silhouettes and surprising color combos are making it onto the runway. Shrunken jackets were perhaps the most notable shift, but cropped hemlines on pants were another notable change, loose and oversized is on the way out.

Aughts Redux

A little flash, a little bohemian, and a whole lot of Britney-inspired — the styles of the early aughts were back. Most notable was the way leopard prints popped up throughout the week, ranging from sumptious coats at Gucci to flashy separates at Roberto Cavalli. But, shimmery fabrics and barely there hemlines, styles that seem plucked right from the stage of a Zara Larrson or Hilary Duff concert, are an homage to the past while still feeling modern.

See-Through Sensibilities

Like the lingerie that popped up throughout the week, sheer styling was a choose-your-own-adventure runway trend. From totally see-through bottoms at Max Mara and Ferragmo to lightly sheer dresses at Missoni and Armani, there was a little something for everyone. For a more realistic take on the trend, use a sheer piece as an overlayer to your usual outfit — like layering a see-through skirt over another skirt or even jeans — no need to show your underwear.

No one does the Video Music Awards quite like the queen of pop. Since 1984, Madonna has delivered so many memorable moments from one of music’s biggest nights, and on Sunday, Sept. 27, she made history once again with a live set that packed in plenty of celebrity cameos and Easter eggs from her four-decade-long career. Opening the show, Madonna’s 2026 MTV VMAs performance was truly a return to form as well as a celebration of her past, present, and future artistry.

This year, the pop culture icon released Confessions II to both fan and critical acclaim, and Sunday’s awards show was a reflection of that. With 13 nominations — the most of the night — the album solidified Madonna’s status as one of the foremost names in dance music, and her opening performance proved this fact even further. Set in a club bathroom, the 8-minute-long set kicked off with “Bring Your Love” alongside Sabrina Carpenter, who was clad in glittery short shorts, suspenders, and a beret, while the 68-year old star sported a belted satin coat over a wine-colored bodysuit, knee-high boots, and her ever-present fingerless gloves.

As the performance unfolded, the icon’s other Confessions collaborator, Charli XCX, joined in on the fun, emerging from a bathroom stall wearing a custom Dsquared2 look, cigarette in hand. The two launched into “Danceteria Afterhours” as Charli moved across the stage in her micro-mini dress and fishnets — a fitting ode to Madonna.

But of course the references didn’t stop there. As the set continued, more and more stars appeared. Of course long-time BFF Debi Mazar was present, as was Julia Garner (who was once rumored to play the pop star in a now defunct biopic), cone bra and all. Additionally, Gabbriette, Sombr, and a leather-clad Seth Rogen made notable cameos with nods to Madonna’s past performances and videos sprinkled throughout.

The fact that so many celebs turned up for Madonna comes as no surprise, considering that her last VMAs performance in 2003 famously ended in kisses with fellow pop stars Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera as she seemingly passed the torch. But over two decades later, the singer proved she’s still a force to be reckoned with in the scene, taking home seven awards including Album of the Year and Best Collaboration.

Changing out of her performance look, Madonna accepted her awards in another on-brand outfit, a pair of black short shorts with a matching corset and lace gloves. And as she mingled with fellow attendees like Taylor Swift, she layered the look with a leather biker jacket — a quintessentially VMAs piece. Serious icon behavior.

For the color-curious who’s grown tired of minimal, “clean girl” makeup, consider the Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2027 runway beauty looks are like a Pinterest that’s been curated just for you. While the New York Fashion Week shows might have been maximalist with a capital “M,” (think Thom Browne’s rainbow winged liner), the Milan runways are slightly more refined middle ground. In other words, great looks to reference when you’re experimenting with color after a long stint of no-makeup makeup.

One entry-level look that was popular on the MFW runways? Blue eye makeup. While the color might conjure up images of the ‘80s, the MFW runways demonstrated modern, approachable ways to wear it. At Jil Sander, models wore a sheer wash of cornflower on the lids, micro-wing liner, and fluttery lashes, while Roberto Cavalli went for mermaid vibes with metallic turquoise eyeshadow. For those ready to graduate to more adventurous looks, there’s Luisa Beccaria robin’s egg blue liner and shiny coral lips.

Of course, it wouldn’t be MFW without some bolder looks, too. Gucci featured extreme smudgy smoky eyes with various pops of color, while Prada teased models’ hair to extreme shapes.

Here, TZR highlights the best beauty moments from the MFW S/S ‘27 runways.

Marques ' Almeida’s Witchy Glam

Call it the Practical Magic 2 effect: the whimsigoth trend was seen on a ton of runways this season, including Marques ' Almeida. Naturally, the hair and makeup followed suit with tousled waves and smudgy winged smoky eyes.

Barbara Rizzi’s Chocolate Brown Lips

While chocolate brown is often associated with fall makeup, the Barbara Rizzi runway demonstrated the decadent shade is just as gorgeous when the temps are above 65.

Gucci’s Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Glam

Together, makeup artist Sam Visser and hairstylist Anthony Turner created two drastically different takes on glamour: the party girl with smudgy, colorful indie sleaze eye makeup and tousled hair, and the refined woman with soft smoky eyes, red lips, and a voluminous blowout.

Roberto Cavalli’s Mermaid Eyes

The metallic turquoise eye makeup and fluffy wavy hair might be a nod to Y2K party girls, but it’ll still feel so fresh on nights out next summer.

Blumarine’s Disco Ball Eyes

No, glitter makeup isn’t just for the holiday season. Case in point: the sparkly silver eyeshadow that was worn with ruffles and lace in springtime colors.

Jil Sander’s Pop Of Blue

Jil Sander is one of the many MFW runways that co-signed the return of blue eyeshadow. Rather than the icy finishes of the ‘80s, models wore a wash of cornflower blue on the lids with micro-wing liner and fluttery lashes.

Sportmax’s Edgy Clean Girl

This edgy twist on the “clean girl” look included wet, just-out-of-the-shower hair pulled up with a claw clip, and dewy skin with dramatic black winged liner.

Luisa Beccaria’s Blue Liner

Color-blocking isn’t limited to your outfits. The sky blue eyeliner and dewy coral lips at Luisa Beccaria created a cool contrasting look that even color-curious makeup minimalists will want to try.

Prada’s Teased Hair

Combs worked overtime backstage at Prada, where lead hair artist Guido Palau and his team backcombed the hair for volume and texture. Some looks resembled bedhead, while others were teased into bouffant-like shapes. Lead makeup artist Lucia Pieroni went with a skin-focused look. The models’ complexions were touched up with Prada concealer and powder where needed, then a wash of Prada Touch Cream-to-Powder Color in Bow was added to the cheeks.

Diesel’s Post-Makeout Lips

Considering Diesel’s show featuring models spontaneously making out among guests in the stands, the makeup look naturally included smudged lipstick. Another beauty mishap gets the runway treatment.

With a roster that includes Madonna’s bridal bustier, Pamela Anderson’s pink fuzzy hat, and Lil’ Kim’s purple sequin pasty — to name only a few — the annual MTV Video Music Awards has canonically been a place for bold, unapologetic forms of personal expression on the red carpet. And thankfully, this year was no exception. The event, which took place Sunday, Sept. 27 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, was filled with icons of the industry as well as newcomers who used their moment in the spotlight to solidify their trendsetter status in everything from goddess-inspired gowns to nearly naked ensembles. And despite that wide range, the best looks at the 2026 MTV VMAs all had one thing in common: a focus on individuality.

Throughout its history, the VMAs has given musicians, models, actors, and influencers alike a place to channel their inner rock star with leather, denim, and animal print always well represented. Naturally, this year’s fête included all of these (see: Tyla, Olandria, and Ciara Miller), but it was hard to ignore a shift towards more classic glamour as well, as seen in Taylor Swift’s sequin and velvet gown and Raye’s Marilyn Monroe-esque embellished halter dress. But even with this expansion on the traditional motifs, the most stylish attendees still made their marks by sticking to what represents them — and their work — the best. Ahead, check out the looks that still have everyone talking.

Charli XCX

The “SS26” singer showed up to the event in a black, two piece Saint Laurent number with a low rise skirt (one of the night’s biggest trends) and voluminous sleeves, then changed into a custom Dsquared2 mini dress with Pandora jewels for her performance with Madonna.

Taylor Swift

Swift’s Tamara Ralph mock neck gown was a nod to her cover art and music video from the artist’s newly released single, “Patient Zero”. The gathered hip detail inspired by classical statuary was another popular theme of the night.

Dakota Johnson

Johnson, who starred in Swift’s “Patient Zero” video, ignored the evening’s rock star memo and opted for a minimalist sequin dress from Calvin Klein Collection.

Megan Lawless

Obsession’s breakout star chose a black sequin cut out top and culottes by Bach Mai for her VMAs debut.

Tyla

With its exposed butt crack, bra top, and animal print, Tyla’s two-piece by Nigerian-British label Mowalola hit all the marks for a quintessential VMAs look. Chopard jewels added a finishing touch.

Normani

The Dopamine singer chose Robert Wun Couture for the night’s festivities. The metallic mock neck gown featured a mermaid silhouette with sculptural shoulder detail.

Sienna Spiro

The Best New Artist winner channeled Botticelli’s Venus in a gathered champagne gown by Valentino, accessorized with a Metallic Caviar Chanel bag.

PinkPantheress

The “Girl Like Me” singer went the romantic route, wearing a ruffled polka dot dress by Nina Ricci.

Lisa

With her lingerie-inspired gown by The Attico and Quine Lin fur coat, Lisa was one of the red carpet’s biggest statement-makers.

Raye

True to her vintage-inspired sound, the “I Will Overcome” singer selected a sheer, embellished halter neck dress by Georges Hobeika, which felt like a modern take on Old Hollywood.

Teyana Taylor

Continuing with the boudoir-inspired looks, Taylor — a presenter and nominee — opted for a sheer, feather-trimmed coat dress by Zuhair Murad from the label’s Fall 2026 Couture collection.

Troye Sivan

The Australian singer’s Erdem tuxedo from the Spring/Summer 2027 collection featured dramatic waist draping and feather details.

Lisa Rinna

A housewife turned fashion darling, Rinna also looked to classical statues for inspiration with her sculpted SEKS gown.

The 2026 MTV Video Music Awards were held Sept. 27 in Los Angeles, and it was a big night for Taylor Swift. The singer-songwriter took home the inaugural MTV VMA Artist Director Honors award, picked up a Moonman for directing her “Opalite” video, and debuted her latest video, “Patient Zero” (directed by, you guessed it, Taylor Swift). And what better way to celebrate such a visuals-oriented evening than by switching up your personal visuals — in this case, officially debuting your lob?

The shoulder-grazing cut was styled by the star’s longtime hairstylist, Jemma Muradian. With a sleek finish and flippy ends, the lob was a pretty dramatic departure from the long lengths and loose waves Swift has favored in recent months. And the hair wasn’t the only big beauty switch-up: She also swapped her go-to red lip for a peachy-pink pout, paired with winged eyeliner — you can’t expect her to give up every aspect of her signature look, after all — and a subtle contour.

While this was the lob’s first official red-carpet outing, it does appear that Swift has been wearing the shorter style for a few weeks now. At the top of the month, she was photographed on date night with husband Travis Kelce wearing the cut with a loose wave, and at the 2026 Emmy Awards, she popped up in a Law & Order: SVU-themed clip with a similar look.

Another fun beauty detail in Swift’s VMAs ensemble? Her manicure, which featured silvery glitter and gems over a clear base. The trobaritz famously uses nail art to communicate new eras and releases to her fans. Perhaps the frosty nail art was a nod to the snowy opening of “Patient Zero?”

Just days after releasing four new songs under the new deluxe album, The Life Of A Showgirl: The Encore, Taylor Swift made her return to the MTV Video Music Awards to celebrate a slew of nominations — plus a very special, brand new award honoring her work as a director.

Since being on a bit of a maximalist, colorful run in more recent red carpet appearances (her floral embroidered-and-rhinestoned multi-textured Erdem minidress at the Toy Story 5 premiere and pistachio green beaded silk Wiederhoeft number at the 2026 iHeart Radio Awards being just a couple of examples), Swift took a more minimalist approach to the acclaimed music ceremony, doing her version of pared-back in a Tamara Ralph gown.

Instead of opting for something custom, Swift wore Look 36 from the designer’s Fall 2026 Couture collection, which showed on the Paris runways back in July. Featuring a dramatic turtleneck detail, the black velvet, sleeveless bodice makes up the top half of the outfit before meeting an asymmetrically draped maxi skirt detail at the hip. The bottoms’ microsequined fabric is so seamless and precise that, from a distance, it looks as though it’s one solid sheen of silver. That, of course, changed the second Swift stepped on the carpet to meet hundreds of camera flashes — all of which reflected off the skirt, turning it into a beaming, high-contrast mirrorball (how very Folklore).

The ensemble was also on the sexier side for Swift, with the top’s material being shaped into an hourglass silhouette, revealing a nearly 360-degree cutout covered by two mesh panels starting at each side of the singer-songwriter’s waist, and ending in an opaque corset-like lace-up closure up the length of her back.

For her shoes, Swift — alongside stylist Joseph Cassell Falconer — selected a pair of equally sparkly Le Silla strappy sandals, equipped with a sizable stiletto heel. The artist continued the glittering theme with matching three-row dangling Leviev earrings (accompanied by various diamond cluster Anita Ko ear climbers), Etho Maria and Forever Diamonds cocktail rings, and, naturally, her estimated-10-carat Kindred Lubeck-designed engagement ring, which sat atop her partial eternity-style wedding band.

Despite recent critiques of her latest releases, Swift was unsurprisingly met by roars of applause and giddy fans inside the event. She also kept on her red carpet gown for the show’s duration, unlike fellow attendees Charli xcx and Blackpink’s Lisa, who both changed into second looks after completing the turquoise-colored step-and-repeat.

The “Call It What You Want” singer wrapped up her evening accepting the inaugural MTV VMA Artist Director Honors, which recognizes performers’ work behind the lens and visual storytelling achievements. Dakota Johnson — close friend of Swift and now “Patient Zero” music video co-star — presented the trophy to the superstar wearing a custom pale pink sequined dress by Calvin Klein Collection.

“I gotta tell you, though, the main reason why I love writing and directing music videos so much is because you, the fans, make it so much fun,” Swift said in her acceptance speech. “You make it so rewarding because you actually care about what we’re making. So I want to say thank you to everyone who ever worked on a music video that I got to be a part of. I learned something from every single person that ever worked alongside me on these projects.”

With this latest accolade — plus her wins for Video Of The Year with “The Fate Of Ophelia” and Best Director for “Opalite” — Swift now has 33 of the coveted moonman statues, making her the most awarded artist in the show’s history.

From low-top Keds or Converse Chuck Taylors taking over in the 1950s, Air Jordan 1s changing the game in the ‘80s, or the ultra-chunky Balenciaga dad shoe hype of the late 2010s, sneakers have always been a part of the broader fashion conversation.

The 72 Spring Sneaker

Marc Jacobs -

This new Marc Jacob style is everything — a fun pop of color for the colder seasons, but rich enough to pair effortlessly with anything year-round. For a designer shoe, they come at a relatively reasonable price point and are known for being incredibly comfortable. And, of course, there’s the cheeky remark on the tongue for the not-so-sporty girls who still want to lean into that sporty-chic look.

Tokyo Shoes

Adidas -

Ballet Runner 2.0

These calfskin sneakers from Loewe are true beauties. The suede detailing on the toe and heel, along with the sole creeping up over the sides, makes for an ultra-luxe appearance.

Speedrock Technical Mesh and Leather Sneakers

Prada -

These elastic, thick-laced slip-on sneakers (also made with cooling mesh technology) will have you looking incredibly stylish and feeling luxurious. Prada is known for being That Girl in general, so it’s no surprise they’ve also mastered the sporty footwear department.

Kiko Kostadinov x Lyasa FF II

Asics -

Another buzzy collab has entered the chat, and they happen to be a split-toe option — perfect for Tabi lovers. Freaky, fun, and fabulous, this deep chocolate paired with turquoise feels like a childhood color combo that withstands the test of time. Plus, they come in a lighter colorway if another hue better suits you.

Dries Van Noten -

You don’t need to wait for a new year or season to shake up your look — but let’s be honest, it’s a great excuse. From revamping your closet to experimenting with bold lip colors or refreshing your highlights, switching things up can feel transformative. But few beauty moves offer the immediate impact of a pixie cut. It puts your features front and center, adds an effortless sophistication to any outfit, and brings a bold, confident energy. If you're considering a serious transformation for the first time or just looking to spice up your already-short hair, there are plenty of celebrity pixie cuts ready to provide endless inspiration — there’s a reason it remains a red carpet staple.

The best celebrity pixie cut looks aren’t just super short hair, either. They’re endlessly versatile and customizable, reflective of the celebrity’s event, career era, and personal style, too. Halle Berry’s tousled pixie faux-hawk and Miley Cyrus’s Mia Farrow-ish, razor-cut layers may be the same length, for example, but spell out two completely different (though equally enviable) vibes. The cut can even be tailored for one celebrity a million different ways; for example, Rihanna’s Rated R-era pixie, which is light-years away from her softer 2012 chop.

Looking for your own perfect pixie? You’re at the right destination for inspiration. Ahead, see some of the best celebrity pixie cuts in recent memory — all it takes is a few snips, and you’ve got pure magic.

Zendaya

Bobdaya had the girls (gender-neutral) in an absolute chokehold, but Pixiedaya really might be taking it. The actor debuted her new wispy cut at the 2026 Emmy Awards, where she drew plenty of comparisons to early 2000s Halle Berry.

Teyana Taylor

One of the biggest breakthrough stars of the 2026-2027 awards season, One Battle After Another’s Taylor paired her immaculate, avant-garde gowns with a chic, choppy pixie. While she’s been favoring longer lengths lately, her short-hair era will definitely go down in beauty history. (And will hopefully make a comeback in the not-too-distant future.)

Jessie Buckley

Another standout pixie (well, bixie) wearer during the 2026-2027 awards season was Buckley. The Irish thespian swept the Best Actress category — culminating in a win at the Academy Awards — often accepting her trophies with side-parted, slicked-back strands.

Emma Stone

Stone debuted a fresh new pixie on the 2025 Golden Globes red carpet. The closely cropped cut featured wispy bangs that framed her face softly.

Keke Palmer

Ahead of her 32nd birthday, Palmer chopped off all her hair and unveiled a pixie cut on Instagram. The new look is the same ginger red color she’s sported since the beginning of 2025.

Quinta Brunson

Brunson stepped out with her pixie cut in 2024 and has found versatility with the short look. In October, the actor styled her hair in loose curls, adding volume and texture.

Tilda Swinton

For the 2025 Golden Globes, actress Swinton walked down the red carpet with a blonde pixie. The top of her look was swept back for added height while the sides were tapered to highlight her features.

Da'Vine Joy Randolph

Randolph revealed a curled pixie cut in a rich warm brown hue at the 2025 Oscars. The look was complete with soft micro bangs and plenty of volume and texture, giving the style a bold yet elegant finish.

Jourdan Dunn

In February 2024, Dunn cut off all her hair, and her hairstylist Jordan Brumant shared all the BTS details on Instagram. “Jourdan decided to embark on a journey of self-reinvention through the transformative power of a pixie cut,” he wrote in the caption. “The symbolism of shedding old energy and embracing new beginnings resonates deeply, marking a bold step into uncharted territory.”

Janelle James

Like her Abbott Elementary co-star Quinta Brunson, James has also recently adopted a pixie cut. She paired the short haircut with a bold red lip at the 2025 SAG Awards.

Anne Hathaway

When Hathaway joined the cast of Les Miserables, for which she’d take home the Best Supporting Actress Oscar, her role required a full, on-camera head shave. Not only did she cinch a gold statue for her work, though, but she also got to grow her hair out into one of Hollywood’s all-time best pixie cuts, complete with long, retro-inspired bangs.

Halle Berry

When you think “celebrity pixie cuts”, you think Halle Berry — period. And though it’s short, Berry’s proved there are seemingly infinite ways to wear a pixie, too. One of her best go-to looks involves some glamorous tousling with rocker-approved hair pastes that allow her warm highlights to catch some rays.

Emma Watson

Somewhere between a true pixie and and punky “chixie” cut, Watson’s grown-up take on ultra-short hair thrilled fans when the look debuted at a Prada fragrance event. Not only did Watson lean into an edgier vibe with shorter, choppier bangs, but a new, rich, ebony hair color heightens the drama, too.

Gemma Chan

When Chan unleashed a first look at her dramatic, side-shaved pixie undercut from a Marvel movie set, she instantly doubled the film’s intrigue. Longer on one side for an artsy, asymmetrical feel, the cut can be styled in so many different ways.

Angela Bassett

Bassett’s elegance could take any haircut to the next level, but her sultry, spiked pixie cut is in a league of its own. Fluffed up and locked in place with a palmful of pomade, the choppy layers are peak gamine glamour.

Charlize Theron

Theron’s famously experimented with quite a few super short haircuts over the years, often returning to an icy blonde pixie cut. Notably, though, she often goes for a shorter, more classic take on the style rather than those featuring longer bangs.

Janelle Monáe

The short, dynamic nature of a pixie cut makes it perfect for showing off every sort of hair accessory. At the Oscars, Monáe was head-to-toe gilded when she tucked a gleaming gold headband into her wavy pixie.

Jamie Lee Curtis

Signature cut, signature color, signature pose — Curtis is so radiant with her silver pixie that you can’t help but let out an “OKAAYYY!” Her wispy, tiered bangs frame the face to further emphasize her bone structure.

Lily Collins

Collins is one of the greatest hair chameleons of our time — and she switches between pixies and ultra-long hair so often, she’s like that Barbie with the retractable ponytail. While many times she’s wearing a wig, this very real deep side part and wispy, ear-hugging layers add so much vintage playfulness to her otherwise sultry Oscars look.

Jennifer Lawrence

Jennifer Lawrence shocked the world when she chopped off her long blonde waves at the height of her stardom, only to reveal the sweetest lash-skimming pixie. She’s since grown her hair back out again, but the sharp tips and face-framing shape have fans longing for another J.Law pixie moment — though she disavowed the cut in Vogue in 2022.

Rihanna

Is there anything Rihanna can’t do? Is there any outfit she can’t wear? Is there any haircut that isn’t wildly flattering on her? From someone who’s done the research, that’s a big no. Rihanna’s pixie cut is even shorter than most celebrities, opting for the most classic version of the beloved style. Showing off her refined features and elegant neck (not to mention adding visibility to her delicate neck tattoo), Rihanna’s pixie inspired thousands to experiment with the scissors.

Bella Hadid

When Bella Hadid showed up at the Met Gala in a ‘20s-inspired pixie cut, it immediately ignited the internet — was her ultra-short, side-swept hair real? Was it a wig? Turns out Hadid didn’t actually cut her hair off, but based on how elegant she looks (and how much love this hair got), maybe it’s worth considering.

Miley Cyrus

Every millennial remembers where they were when Miley Cyrus cut off her famous tiny bun to reveal the bleached blonde rocker look that would define her next decade. While she typically wore her choppy pixie in experimental, edgier styles, this softer look from a Grammys party is equally stunning.

Zoë Kravitz

With her raven pixie, almost Caesar cut-like bangs, brick-red lipstick, and Bardot neckline, Zoë Kravitz looks like the proverbial French ingenue. She’s had a pixie several times before, but that’s understandable — she looks good in it every time.

One of the hottest trends for fall fashion: Personality pieces that are anything but quiet. Whether it’s a striking animal print, a vibrant jolt of color, or swaying fringe, this season’s most sought-after fashion finds are all about boldness. Pair a silk tank in rich purple and suddenly your everyday denim seems fresh. Similarly a slouchy suede bag in an high-impact color or an oversize floral brooch can be used to give your current wardrobe a ‘ripped-from-the-runways’ update. Consider this your invitation to turn up the volume.

Jennifer Behr Gladiolus Gold-Plated Brooch

Net-A-Porter -

Brooches might be one of fashion’s most versatile personality-led pieces, so this brooch deserves your full attention.

We saw it in London (and New York and Milan), and we’ll probably see it in France — for the Spring/Summer 2027 season, designers are really into showing off underpants...particularly colorful ones.

While the concept of naked dressing is nothing new or groundbreaking, the vast majority of those celeb red carpet or night-on-the-town moments have been aided by plain black or nude underwear, usually with the goal of making the body or the sheer layer on top the focal point of the look. This season, designers are pushing back against that theme and encouraging us to not just show off some statement lingerie, but to also make it our ensembles’ centerpiece.

New York was first to jump on board, specifically spotlighting vibrant triangle bralettes. At Aknvas, bras peeked out from under floor-length lace gowns, and at Carolina Herrera, they were paired with a matching cardigan in the same diamond knit design. Christian Cowan and 7 For All Mankind followed suit, showing off bright purple garter belt-stockings-combos and sexy neon lace bralettes through a top with a plunging midriff-reaching neckline, respectively. Wes Gordon, creative director at Herrera, told TZR backstage that his approach to the more youthful styling choice was about “playfulness and joy,” describing the Carolina girl as the one “in the middle of a party.”

But having visible undergarments in an outfit doesn’t always have to mean looking like the center-of-attention party girl (although there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that). Other designers — such as Anna Sui — took a more casual approach to the trend, layering satin balconette bras over long-sleeve opaque tops, making for an ultra-high-contrast (and fully covered-up) look. However, Sui also leaned into the nakedness, showing off a gauzy lilac and satin eggplant two-tone lingerie set under a completely see-through black polka dot maxi dress.

What felt most exciting about the latter Sui look as it walked down the runway, was that it didn’t feel even remotely male gaze-y (as Sui’s designs never do, to be fair). Instead, the act of flaunting the vibrant underwear beneath the frilly top layer felt like the result of a silly, fun, feminine game of dress-up at a sleepover with friends — and that innocent, simple amusement that comes from pairing pretty mismatched pieces together without a firm intention is one of the best parts of this overall exposing trend.

That same idea carried over across the pond in London, where Simone Rocha dressed a model in bright cherry red hipsters and placed a sequin-embroidered black tulle mermaid gown over top. It just goes to show, you can be a bit cheeky without actually showing that much cheek.

Chopova Lowena had a similar approach, showcasing a black bra-and-undies set covered in red-and-purple floral embroidery, with the bottoms’ waistline teasingly peeking out above a ruffle-tiered pair of knee-length bloomers. Susan Fang brought things back full circle to New York’s taste, displaying sportier triangle bra and high-waisted underwear styles beneath a matching sheer T-shirt-and-capris set.

Fast forward to the ongoing Milan Fashion Week, and the Italians are joining in on the fun. At Fendi, silk teal and salmon-hued bralettes with a black ribbon outline were worn with matching thigh-hitting, black-lace-trimmed shorts with a formal wool coat overtop, further making the case for underwear as outerwear. Glenn Martens at Diesel went for a more indie sleaze vibe, presenting barely-there flower-decorated balconettes (also outfitted with the brand’s signature “D” logo at its center) below torn graphic tanks and sweatshirts.

Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons also contributed to the trend at Prada, taking a more direct stance by simply styling cropped cherry red bustiers and vibrant, geometric-patterned bandeaus as-is with a vast array of midi skirts. Seriously, who needs a real shirt anyways?

As Paris Fashion Week gets closer, it’s highly likely the colorfully skimpy fad will continue — particularly at labels like Vaquera, Cecilie Bahnsen, Rick Owens, Ottolinger, and Miu Miu, all of which have regularly shown statement-making bras in past seasons.

Although the trend will surely maintain its takeover on the runways, the question of how it will translate commercially remains. It’s not dissimilar to the oh-so-2016, Coachella-esque fad of bras peeping out beneath DIY-knotted tees, so, who knows? With plenty of 2016 nostalgia lingering in the culture, these designers might just be onto something.

Since taking over as creative director last year, Demna has revealed his vision for the new era of Gucci in increments. A year ago, for his debut Spring/Summer 2026 collection titled La Famiglia, the designer tapped into the label’s signature flamboyance, while Pre-Fall 2026 read more archival, nodding to defining eras in the brand’s history. Fall/Winter 2026 was a lesson in sexuality, showcasing sultry, revealing designs that celebrated the body, and the most recent Cruise 2027 presentation (set in NYC’s Times Square) helped solidify the brand’s foundational wardrobe icons. A culmination of all of the above, Demna’s “research” is fully materialized for Spring/Summer 2027 as the The Store Show in Milan on Sept. 25.

“The conclusion of my research is that Gucci stands for being rooted in the desire to belong to a more glamorous world and in the audacity to remake that world in your own image,” says Demna in the official show notes. “Gucci is about luxury that wants to be seen. It is about the tension between propriety and sensuality.”

Set in a custom-built replica of a flagship Gucci store, the collection kicked off with an homage to the “polished bourgeois respectability” the brand was originally built on a century prior. The sleek riding ensembles topped off with iconic pieces like the logoed Boston and Lady Lunetta chain bags, as well as the millennial-loved GG monogram belt, nodded to the equestrian aesthetic that became a signature for the Italian label in the 1950s.

The procession evolves to Gucci’s most memorable periods, in which “eccentricity, danger, sex appeal” are at the center, presented in thigh-grazing mini skirt suits paired with opaque black tights and pointed stiletto pumps — a take on the ‘80s power suit. Tom Ford-era Gucci seemingly inspired the fitted, low-waisted pencil skirts worn with bralettes and statement-shouldered blazers as well as the slinky floor-sweeping jersey gowns with generous cut-outs and up-to-there slits.

Jet-set glamour and the label’s deep Hollywood ties were reflected in the extravagant and copious outerwear, clearly meant more as statement pieces. A rounded leather bomber jacket worn by Elsa Hosk was paired with shiny gray cargo trousers, a striped polo, and heels. A cheetah-print full-length teddy coat served as a focal point, tied over black leggings and, that’s right, stiletto heels. Demna is making it clear that the Gucci girl may be varied and complex, but she is always owning the room.

“I want Gucci to embody that same spirit today: a place where seemingly dissimilar people can meet, connect, and inspire one another,” read the show notes. “Because Gucci is a space of possibility where anyone can become whomever they choose.”

Ahead, see highlights from Demna’s fully formed vision.

Sloane Stephens has long admired Roberto Cavalli, even recalling her grandma wearing the Italian fashion house’s designs when she was a kid. “It’s a heritage brand and household name,” the tennis star tells TZR over the phone. Above all, Stephens loves how you can immediately clock a Roberto Cavalli design — something that can’t be said for every luxury label, she notes. Suffice it to say, the athlete was overjoyed to receive a front-row invite to the brand’s Spring/Summer 2027 show. Making the moment even more special, it was Stephens’ first time attending Milan Fashion Week, too.

When choosing her look for the show, Stephens, who had help from her stylist Brittany Hampton, forewent neutrals and went all in on vibrant shades. “I love bright colors; I very rarely reach for anything black,” she explains. “I always want to have some type of energy behind the look.” Her ensemble — a bright purple and hot pink color-blocked velvet and satin look that oozed ‘80s vibes — was certainly full of personality. “This was different than anything I’ve ever seen before.”

She upped the ante with her footwear, skipping pared-back pumps for of-the-moment snakeskin heels. “I could have picked, like, regular leather shoes, but again, of course, I had to do the most,” she laughs. “I just became a fashionista in two seconds,” she says of the fitting process. Stephens was in good company at the show, sitting alongside her mom, who donned a sleek black look.

This color-clashing look perfectly aligned with the tennis player’s personal style, which she describes as bright and outgoing. “I wouldn’t say I’m a risk-taker, but I don’t like to blend in with the crowd,” Stephens says. “I don’t like anything that’s basic or boring when it comes to fashion.”

As it happens, this is only the second show Stephens has attended — the first was Cult Gaia at New York Fashion Week earlier this month. “It was honestly, like, a perfect show to get my feet wet; I’m super familiar with the looks and brand.” For the occasion, Stephens stunned in a long green fringe gown, which she also picked with Hampton’s assistance.

While her number one priority is tennis, Stephens is slowly stepping into the fashion industry. “Tennis prohibits you from doing a lot of extra things, so it definitely has to be a conscious decision to come here and go to the shows,” she says. However, given her love for fashion, the tennis player is more than happy to spend her time away from the court taking in new collections.

On that note, keep a close eye out for Stephens at upcoming fashion shows — because Roberto Cavalli certainly won’t be her last.

Occasionally, celebrities will wear outfits from the same brand or collection each season. Outside of a branded fashion show, those are rarely worn in the same week. However, that’s exactly what happened with Rihanna’s latest outfit, a two-toned dress she wore to see Celine Dion’s residency in Paris last night.

The Fenty Beauty founder stepped out for her second viewing of Dion’s concert series in the finale dress from Ferragamo’s Fall 2026 collection by Maximilian Davis. The formal style included a sheer black bodice, flounced sleeves, and a shiny brown pleated skirt gathered into a mermaid hemline. Her outing actually marked the second time a celebrity wore Davis’s Ferragamo designs this week. On Tuesday, Pamela Anderson wore a metallic gold dress from the same Ferragamo collection— which included the same gathered skirt silhouette — at Vogue World: Milano during Milan Fashion Week. It’s a savvy, yet stylish coincidence that Rihanna chose a piece from the same line just days apart.

Naturally, Rihanna added a mix of luxe accessories to complement her latest outfit. The star matched the look’s dark palette with a black velvet and pom-pom-trimmed Saddle handbag from Dior’s Fall 2002 collection by John Galliano, as well as thin rectangular sunglasses. A set of Amina Muaddi’s black satin Felicia mules brought her look a sharp finish, along with a layered gold and diamond Halley ring from Spinelli Kilcollin.

Rihanna’s Ferragamo dress was her most recent look that was fresh from Fall 2026’s runways. During her first viewing of Dion’s residency, she wore a deep blue Tom Ford suit by Haider Ackermann with snake-printed Muaddi pumps and a crystal-covered Lady Dior bag. Days later, the mogul similarly leaned into suiting with a light brown blazer and pants, a black quilted Dior shoulder bag, and Saint Laurent’s towering Vendome slingback heels. Lest we forget, nobody can pull off a bold look — or a bold shoe — like Rihanna can.

There’s that unmistakable chill in the air, the days are getting shorter, and suddenly, all those summer blondes have re-emerged with cozy new shades of red and brown. That’s right: It’s fall, y’all. With the new season comes a crop of new trending hairstyles, and for those with textured hair and/or who wear protective hairstyles, the name of the game in autumn 2026 is pure romance.

This fall’s top textured hairstyle trends have an undeniable air of “she’s come undone” effortlessness. In one case, quite literally: Big, soft, natural texture, achieved through unraveled twist-outs and braid-outs, will be a go-to look for the season. Also in the offing are center-parted curls and coils, air-dried to showcase texture in all its natural glory, and elegant pixies with movement and dimension.

The trending protective styles are equally enchanting. They include sewn-in, braided leave-outs, a style that gives you all the versatility and beauty of boho knotless braids but requires a fraction of the time in the salon; miracle knots, a lower-tension (but equally flowy) alternative to goddess braids; and thick two-strand twists, a classic look that’s much more versatile than you might think.

Read on for a full breakdown of the top protective and textured hair trends of the season, straight from the pros.

Textured Styles

Big, Soft, Natural Texture

“If you want big hair and to express yourself [more vibrantly], big, fluffy hair is hot right now, and just right for you!” says hairstylist and Wella ambassador Dereq Clark. What’s great about this style is that it truly works for any and every curl pattern; “you can always adjust the amount of volume and definition to the individual’s texture and density to create the look” you desire, he says. To channel your inner disco diva, “start with a twist-out, braid-out, or stretched wash-and-go, then separate and fluff at the root,” he instructs. As for maintenance, redo your twists or braids as needed, and wear your bonnet every night: “Try to preserve the shape overnight, and don’t feel like you have to completely restyle every morning,” says Clark.

Pixies

The pixie cut has found a high-profile fan in Zendaya — and according to Sharley Viola, associate director, brand marketing & education, for Curlsmith, this “effortless and modern” style will garner many more devotees this fall. And you don’t have to have Audrey Hepburn (or Z’s) hair type to wear it: “One of the biggest misconceptions about the pixie cut is that it only suits certain people,” says Viola. In actuality, while it is especially great for those with finer hair, “it also works beautifully on wavy, curly, and coily textures, where natural movement adds character and dimension to the cut.”

You’ll want to book a salon appointment to get the look — this is not a style to DIY — and when you do, “ask for a pixie that complements your face shape, hair texture, and styling preferences,” says Viola. “For those with curly or coily hair, it's beneficial to arrive with your hair worn in its natural state so your stylist can accurately assess how your curls or coils naturally sit. Keep in mind that tighter curl patterns experience more shrinkage, so what appears to be the perfect length when wet may sit significantly shorter once dry.”

To keep up with it, “focus on enhancing your natural texture while maintaining moisture and definition,” says Viola. She suggests using Curlsmith’s Awestruck Definition Cream; “As we move into autumn, polished, sculpted curls continue to trend, making defined yet touchable texture the perfect complement to a modern pixie cut.”

Center-Parted Curls & Coils

“I’ve been loving a center part with curls down for fall,” says hairstylist Sophie Rose Gutterman. “This look is chic and still allows your hair to be big.” (It’s especially flattering on those whose hair is all one length.) To get the look, she recommends skipping the diffuser; instead, apply gel to wet hair, then let it air dry. She’s a fan of The Potion Studio’s Control Potion Styling Gel. “For my girls that have shorter hair and want to try this look, try using an elongating cream — DevaCurl Quench'N Stretch Cream is bomb — to stretch out the curl pattern.”

Protective Styles

Sew-in, Braided Leave-Out Hybrid

Celebrity hairstylist and Amika stylist circle member Lacy Redway has been a fan of the hybrid sew-in with braided leave-out for two decades. Now, she’s seeing the style — which consists of “leave out” braids at the top of the head and tracks sewn into cornrows around the sides and back of the head — grow in popularity. This is due in no small part to convenience: You get the look of a fully braided head, but with significantly less time in the chair.

“When I wear this style, I always try to keep my braid down hydrated and try to find products that make it easier to do so,” says Redway. She’s a fan of Amika’s Soulstruck Nourishing Dry Hair Mask, a sprayable leave-in. It “allows me to spray the leave-in onto my braids and in between the extensions without disrupting my style,” she notes.

Miracle Knots

“Miracle knots perfectly align with the growing shift towards softer, more natural-looking protective styles,” says Viola. With this style, loose hair is crocheted into individual braids. “The beauty of this look lies in its effortless, bohemian finish and lightweight feel. Unlike some traditional protective styles that can place significant tension on the scalp and hairline, miracle knots offer a flatter, more natural-looking installation with less strain, making them an excellent choice for those who want to prioritize both style and hair health.”

At the braider’s, “ask for lightweight miracle knots with a soft, natural finish that complements your hair texture and face shape,” she says. She also recommends taking the protective style as an opportunity to play with color: “Consider opting for a rich chocolate brown shade. This warm, dimensional color adds softness and depth while tapping into one of the season's biggest hair color trends.”

Overnight, “protect the style with a satin bonnet or sleep on a satin pillowcase to minimize friction, reduce frizz, and help prolong the life and definition of the style,” Viola instructs.

Chunky Two-Strand Twists

Both Clark and Redway sing the praises of the two-strand twist. This low-tension style “can give you curl definition if you find that your texture doesn’t naturally have it,” or, similarly, “provides an opportunity to style your hair with a different curl pattern than you naturally have.”

And this season, Clark sees this classic look getting a supersized update. “I love a chunky twist because it feels effortless but still very polished,” he says. “For fall, I see twists becoming a little more sculptural, playing with size, parting, and shape instead of everything being super uniform.” To get the look, he recommends sectioning your clean, conditioned hair based on your desired shape, then creating your twists. “I like using a small amount of Wella Professionals Ultimate Smooth Miracle Oil Serum through the hair for shine and to help control frizz,” he adds.

Thanks to the revival of early-aughts fashion, Coach’s slouchy Brooklyn bag has become the It-girl approved carryall. A minimal riff on the hobo styles popularized in the Y2K era, the Brooklyn was previously available in three sizes: The 28, 34, and 39. But now a new silhouette has entered the chat: the sleek, elongated Brooklyn 26 shoulder bag. With a gently curved top and horizontal east-west proportions, this hobo-meets-baguette hybrid taps right into the season's biggest bag trends. Ahead, find everything you need to know about the chic new Coach bag — plus how to style it.

Coach’s Newest It-Bag: Everything To Know About The Brooklyn 26

The latest addition to Coach’s line of Brooklyn shoulder bags, the 26 is the most compact version to date. The Brooklyn 34 and 39 are the line’s roomiest, designed to meet the needs of commuters, students, and travelers, while the Brooklyn 28 features the same chic hobo silhouette, in a slightly smaller size that can still fit a tablet. At 10.5-inches long, the Brooklyn 26 is the line’s babygirl — and perhaps the most evening and occasion-ready of the group. While the other Brooklyns feature a boxier silhouette, the 26 is leaner and more rectangular, an on-point interpretation of the stretched out designs trending on runways worldwide. Not to be outdone by the larger Brooklyn’s versatility, the Brooklyn 26 features a similar single shoulder strap, with an 8.25-inch drop; this allows you to sling it over your shoulder, carry it in the crook of your arm, or style it as a top-handle bag.

Why Coach’s New Brooklyn 26 Bag Is Worth The Investment

If a luxury bag has been on your investment bucket list, the Brooklyn 26 positively brims with treat-yourself features. Offered in natural grain leather or velvety suede, the luxe material is guaranteed to make you swoon. Gorgeous but not so delicate you’ll be afraid to take this bag out on the town, the material elevates the simple silhouette without distracting from the bag’s otherwise minimal design. That minimalism is precisely what secures its status as an instant classic, one you’ll reach for for years to come. Accented simply by a tiny, subtle gold stamp with the brand’s logo, and a logo-embossed tag in matching suede or leather, it tapers out ever so slightly at the bottom, an elegant and understated accessory that can be styled for a laid-back brunch or for a dress-to-impress date.

What Fits Inside The New Brooklyn 26?

Sized for days that don’t require a heavy schlep, the 26 has plenty of room for your daily (or nightly) musts. It easily fits an iPhone 17 Pro Max, along with other essentials you’d want regardless of the time of day — like your wallet and ear buds. Designed with a magnetic snap closure and two inner slip pockets, a center zipper compartment adds versatility. You can use it to keep small items like your keys or lip balm easily accessible — or use it in place of a wallet to free up extra space for other necessities, like a small makeup bag or travel-size perfume, if you happen to have plans that take you day straight on through to evening.

How Do You Style The Coach Brooklyn 26 For Everyday Wear?

When it comes to styling, there’s little the Brooklyn 26 can’t do. For a lunch date, pair it with straight-leg denim, a slouchy cashmere sweater, and add a pair of leather jazz shoes; the look will be put-together without being overly dressy. Offered in rich neutral shades like a mahogany brown or classic black, it somehow stands out while also effortlessly blending in, so you can grab it for last-minute plans without fear that it’ll overpower your look — even very casual sneakers aren’t off-limits. If after-hours plans are in the making, opt for the aforementioned denim with a fitted top, and adding a statement heel, the Brooklyn 26 becomes an evening-ready bag. And for outerwear, the trending silhouette and luxe material pair just as well with a leather bomber as with a rainy day trench coat, or a rich wool camel coat; it’s sure to be a mainstay of your seasonal looks.

Braids are one of the few truly timeless hairstyles because they are both versatile and practical. Whether you need a quick and cute way to pull your hair out of your face on a hot summer day or a protective style that will help minimize curl breakage, there’s a braid type for you. While romantic halo braids and other Pinterest-popular styles of the 2010s had a moment this summer, thanks to Zendaya’s The Odyssey press run, the Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2027 street style crowd are demonstrating the range of other possibilities.

Many of this season’s attendees are opting for simple three-plait braids versus more intricate styles, which is totally valid when you’re in a rush to get ready for your first show of the day. But that doesn’t mean their hair looks basic. From side-swept styles to pigtails, there are so many ways to make this type of braid your own, and these varieties are all over the Milan streets. Showgoers who had slower mornings opted to incorporate French braids into their styles. There were also stunning knotless braid spottings.

Ahead, see how the MFW S/S ‘27 street style stars are styling braids.

Side Braid

A loose braid casually thrown over one shoulder creates a care-free, effortless feel.

Every scent evokes an emotion. In Scent Stories, TZR asks tastemakers, celebrities, and industry insiders to share the stories behind the smells of their past and present.

Few understand the link between fragrance and taste as intimately as Kilian Hennessy. In fact, one could argue he downright embodies it. A scion of that Hennessy family — French purveyors of fine liquors for nearly 300 years — Kilian founded his niche fragrance house, Kilian Paris, in 2007. While the brand has released several cult classics over the years that have little to do with libations, many of its signature scents are like a strong drink for your wrists; specifically those in The Liquors Collection, which consists of boozy concoctions (including the bestselling Angels’ Share) housed in rocks-glass-inspired bottles. At Kilian boutiques, they’re even served up from a literal fragrance bar.

The spirit of, well, spirits continues with the brand’s latest release, The Cocktails, a trio of fruity fragrances inspired by mixed beverages. “I wanted to start with three cocktails [everyone knows] and kind of follow through the night,” Kilian told The Zoe Report on a sunny afternoon in his SoHo boutique.

The evening starts with the bubbly Sparkling Royal, an interpretation of Kir Royale that creates effervescence through a blend of citrus notes and aldehydes, complemented with mint, rose, and black currant. Next up: the tropical Piña Paraíso, which brings together pineapple, coconut, and vanilla bourbon for a vacation-ready, piña colada-inspired fragrance that won’t leave you with a hangover; it’s “built on a patchouli-palmarosa type of accord, to give it structure,” as Hennessy explains. Rounding out the trio is Midnight Espresso, a gourmand nightcap with coffee and dark chocolate accords alongside vanilla bourbon notes.

Ahead, Hennessy discusses the origins of The Cocktails, the role scent plays in his life, and more.

The Origins Of The Cocktails

“The centerpiece of all our scents is the bar. We introduced the bar in 2021, and when it started to come to life, I felt that a bar without liquors would be very sad. So we came up with what we call The Liquors Collection. We launched with two scents: Angels’ Share and Roses on Ice. Then we launched Apple Brandy.

When you go to any bar, you can order a gin, you can order a vodka, a whiskey neat — and you can order a cocktail, right? Once you have the bar, it’s natural that in that bar, you serve liquors and cocktails; in a way, [we should have] provided much sooner. But they’re here! And the next cocktails are already created for the next few years. We’ll do [them all]; at one point, once that’s done, I want to start working with a mixologist and really see the bridge I can create between art, cocktails, and perfumes.”

The Role Scent Plays In His Life

“Very big! I wake up in the morning and go to bed thinking about scents. I have to wear all these scents, you know? But I think it plays [a huge part] for more and more people, you know. We were discussing how there are more and more very young men who are very interested in perfume and come into the store. Like half of my customers in Paris or here are below 32 years old. I think it’s one way of playing with the different facets of your personality … That’s why niche fragrance emerged; we offer you a way to build your own wardrobe, to be unique every day.”

The First Scent(s) He Ever Purchased

“I was 13 or 14, and it was the only perfumery in Cognac. We’re talking 1984, 1985; at that time, there were not a lot of men’s perfumes, right? I remember I had Pour Homme de Caron, Vétiver de Guerlain, Jules de Dior. The choices were very limited!”

His All-Time Favorite Scent

“Of my collection? Angels’ Share. Because it is my homage to my memory of the Hennessy Cognac, it feels so close to my home. It took me 14 years to create.”

The Scent Of Nostalgia

“Imperial Tea. I went to Kyoto in the spring for sakura season, and there’s a very famous walk, a water path, which is along a little river that is surrounded by sakura trees. And on that day — it was a gorgeous day, beautiful blue sky, but windy — the wind was blowing the sakura petals in the air, and it felt like it was snowing in the spring. That’s what I tried to re-create with Imperial Tea. It’s really this emotion, of the delicate flower petals blowing in the air around this little water stream. That’s why it’s a little aquatic over a very strong, woody base, because those sakura trees are gorgeous black trees. This one takes me back to that moment.”

The Scent Of Clarity

“Bamboo Harmony. It’s very peaceful, very simple, but complex at the same time. It’s very relaxing. I think you need to be in that state to find clarity. It’s built on a musky white tea with a citrusy freshness.”

The Scent Of Comfort

“Straight to Heaven. It’s a woody scent, very cozy. It’s warm: patchouli, cedar, ambrox, nutmeg. It just feels like a big cashmere sweater.”

The Scent Of Joy

“Oh, Sunkissed Goddess — the scent of holiday. Sun, tanning, summer.”

At this point, it’s clear that Dua Lipa’s Chanel handbag collection is unmatched. The star was named a house ambassador in 2024 by Virginie Viard, a role that’s continued under the creative direction of Matthieu Blazy. With their shared love of statement dressing and color, Lipa’s clearly basking in her muse status and enjoying all of its perks — including the newest addition to her Chanel bag family.

During a trip to Italy, Lipa snapped an elevator selfie on Instagram while toting Chanel’s black Shopping Bag from its Métiers d’Art 2026 collection. The black leather tote was covered in flat quilted stitching, including an angular top handle that showed a dark red lining. A removable chain strap and gold “CC” clasp hardware finished the style with more of the French brand’s signatures.

Lipa paired her tote with a casual look that fit into her existing range of boho vacation outfits: a white ruffled Isabel Marant Etoile blouse, light blue jeans, and a Chrome Hearts belt. The star completed her look with layered gold necklaces, particularly her go-to Chloé Elixir pendant necklace that is currently sold out. Her latest bag acquisition joins a diverse Chanel lineup that includes the brand’s reptilian Fall 2026 shopping bag, Cruise 2027 striped tote, viral Maxi Flap bag, and multiple versions of its cargo-pocketed Chanel 25 bag.

Of course, a Dua Lipa vacation wouldn’t be complete without a packed itinerary — and plenty of bold outfits. Days before, the singer wore a feathered lace-up Ashi Studio dress for the opening night of the “La Traviata” opera in Milan. Also in Italy, she stepped out for a sun-drenched lunch in a lacy blue Chloé camisole, Chanel jeans, and Gucci shield sunglasses, followed by late-night cocktails in a floral Marant blouse and Chrome Hearts leather pants. Afterwards, she even made a brief appearance in London in a blue stone Lou De Betoly top, black trousers, and a Bulgari Serpenti wristwatch.

Though Lipa’s been busy traveling and adding to her Chanel bag collection, she’s also had a particularly full 2026 so far. The musician married her husband, Callum Turner, earlier this summer, and evidently returned to the recording studio after their honeymoon. She also stepped out with Turner for the premiere of his film One Night Only, and just appeared at Bulgari’s Serpenti Infinito collection launch party at Boom during New York Fashion Week.

Miuccia Prada knows a thing or two about designing a really good skirt. After all, the silhouette has become Miu Miu and Prada’s bread and butter in recent seasons (who could ever forget the former’s internet-breaking miniskirts circa 2022?). And once again, the veteran designer, alongside Co-Creative Director Raf Simons, set her sights on skirts, debuting an array of statement-making styles on Prada’s runway this week — many of which are already going viral. She’s not the only one declaring spring the season of the quirky skirt, either. Across the Milan Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2027 runways, the trend is running rampant, popping up at shows like Jil Sander and Etro.

If you think about it, it’s about time statement skirts got their due, as bold, attention-commanding pants have hogged all the glory these past few years. Fortunately, you’ll have plenty of styles to pick from in the coming months. Prefer a glitzy, in-your-face skirt? Prada has you covered, showcasing sheer looks embellished with colorful floral-shaped rhinestones. On the brand’s runway, pleated skirts also took center stage, seen in shades ranging from bubblegum pink to butter yellow. And lest we forget about the printed pieces. Some skirts were splashed with eye-grabbing psychedelic motifs, while others boasted ‘60s-inspired ditsy florals. The Prada-approved way to style a statement skirt this spring? With a bra top.

Though the trend kicked off at Prada, the co-creative directors weren’t the only ones who got the statement skirt memo. Jil Sander’s Simone Bellotti, too, put his stamp on the playful look, sending fuzzy hot pink midi skirts and minis with asymmetrical waistlines down the runway — the latter sure to make anyone do a double take.

Diesel also zeroed in on unexpected waistlines, debuting a gauzy blue midi skirt with a layered waistband. Meanwhile, over at Etro, sequined skirts were juxtaposed with sporty zip-up jackets, a combo poised to steal the hearts of fashion girls everywhere.

Considering Prada is something of a North Star in the fashion industry, it won’t be long before statement skirts are everywhere. So, get ahead of the curve by adding a few standout styles to your wardrobe, stat. And you needn’t pair yours with a bra top à la Prada — make the piece your own by styling it with anything from a structured blazer for work to a white tee on the weekends. Because isn’t that what fashion is all about?

Call it an early Halloween treat: American Horror Story is back with its spooky new season, simply titled 13. For the Wednesday night premiere, stars stepped out at Hotel Chelsea in their sleekest all-black outfits. After all, the newest slate of episodes follows the coven from the show’s beloved third and eighth seasons, so plenty of witchy fashion was in order.

Jessica Lange made a rare public appearance, sporting Valentino by Alessandro Michele — fitting for the iconic performer (and the Supreme) who will play five different roles in American Horror Story: 13. Sarah Paulson delivered a dramatic red carpet look in a black gown with a ruffled and mesh neckline from Valentino’s Spring 2025 couture collection. Texture also reigned in dresses worn by Billie Lourd, Angela Bassett, Mena Suvari, Jamie Brewer, and Elle Chapman, ranging from soft velvet to eye-catching sequins and flowers.

On the other side of the fashion spectrum, stars like Gabourey Sidibe, Avantika, and Leslie Grossman chose minimalism in subtle styles with luxe fabrics. Each used standout jewelry to further elevate their looks. Take a closer look at all of their on-theme ensembles below.

Jessica Lange

Who’s the baddest witch in town? That would be Jessica Lange, of course. The iconic actor hit the red carpet in a black Valentino midi dress and matching block-heeled pumps, complete with her signature tousled hair. Lange’s most enchanting statement came from her Valentino DeVain bag, which was covered in gleaming beaded flowers.

Sarah Paulson

Sarah Paulson wore a black velvet gown from Valentino’s Spring 2025 couture collection by Alessandro Michele. The style included layers of tulle and a mesh neck panel for added drama. Stylist Karla Welch matched the piece’s flair with long diamond and pearl drop earrings and a large Effy Jewelry diamond ring.

Angela Bassett

Angela Bassett stunned at the premiere in a black Falguni Shane Peacock dress. The sculptural piece included an asymmetric neckline and tiered hem with rows of thin feathers. To finish her look, stylist Jennifer Austin added black platform heels, a bejeweled skull clutch, and diamond jewelry from Marie Mas and Mindi Mond.

Billie Lourd

Billie Lourd continued her love of vintage-influenced pieces in a Rodarte minidress. The black velvet style featured a flounced neckline and cold-shoulder straps, complete with a cluster of rosettes. Thin black slingback sandals finished the actor’s ensemble.

Gabourey Sidibe

Gabourey Sidibe wore a black gown with an asymmetric neckline and drop-waist silk skirt for her return to American Horror Story. The star’s look was complete with a gold bangle and intricate drop earrings.

Avantika

AHS newcomer Avantika arrived in a black floor-length dress with a sparkly lace bodice. The actor let her dress take center stage, pairing the V-necked piece with diamond cluster post earrings.

Leslie Grossman

Leslie Grossman was polished in a black strapless dress with a V-shaped neckline. The actor added a satin clutch and ankle-strapped pumps to her minimalist look, which included a red lip that perfectly matched the red carpet.

Jamie Brewer

Jamie Brewer bloomed at Hotel Chelsea in a black lace dress covered in pink and green embroidered flowers. The textured piece was paired with diamond starburst earrings, as well as a set of crystal-trimmed sandals.

Mena Suvari

On the red carpet, Mena Suvari shone in a black Christian Siriano dress that just walked the runway at New York Fashion Week. The actor’s Spring 2026 style included an asymmetric skirt and high neckline covered in sequins. Slingback pumps, layered rings, and a blood-red manicure and lip rounded out the look.

Elle Chapman

Elle Chapman made a sleek entrance in a short-sleeved crop top and midi skirt. Both lace pieces were covered in swirling floral patterns, which the actor elevated with thin black sandals.

If Florence Pugh has one fan, it’s me. Not only is the English actor one of the finest screen presences of her generation, bringing raw emotion and grounded strength to just about every role she plays; off-screen, she’s also got a wicked sense of humor and experimental personal style. (Again: I’m a huge fan.) When she’s on a press tour, we’re all but guaranteed two things: Cheeky interviews and looks. And lucky for us — aka me — she’s back on the circuit and delivering the latter, most recently in the form of a bouncy, ‘60s-inspired updo tied with ribbon.

While promoting her upcoming film East of Eden in London, the star donned a blouse-y, empire-waist Chloé number in soft terracotta and, later, a draped jacquard coat from Dior’s 2026 Pre-Fall collection. Both looks had a late ‘60s, mod-meets-hippy energy; a vibe further enhanced by the glam, including a bouncy, pumped-up blowout by hairstylist Hyungsun Ju. With soft, brushed-out curls at the ends and a bow-tied ribbon at the top of the head, the hairstyle would be right at home on a 1968 cover of British Vogue (or on an impossibly chic girl shopping for mini dresses at Biba).

For makeup, artist Alex Babsky took a subdued approach to the mid-century look, opting for peachy tones, a radiant glow, and a very subtle wing — with no pastel eyeshadow or heavy lashes in sight.

Considering she has two more massive releases on the calendar this year (Avengers: Doomsday and Dune: Part III), Team Pugh likely has plenty of show-stopping looks planned for the coming months. And I, for one, can’t wait to see them.

One of Kate Middleton’s most defining fashion traits? Aside from her prim and polished personal style, the Princess of Wales has always been known for rewearing pieces from her closet. Over the years, Middleton has become renowned for bringing back items from past years and red carpets to the present, no matter how bold, colorful, and memorable they may be. It’s a refreshing way to see a public figure get dressed, given that most people who aren’t famous or part of the royal family “shop” their closets every day. Within that practice, however, Middleton certainly has a select few items that she wears the most, and we found six of them that you can still shop today.

Shoes and accessories are the most commonly re-worn pieces in Middleton’s closet. Nude and lightly colored pumps — particularly Gianvito Rossi’s signature pumps — have made frequent appearances in the Duchess’ outfits over the last 15 years. Her white Superga sneakers have also proven a reliable shoe option on more casual outings, especially when in nature and enjoying family time with Prince William and their three children, George, Charlotte, and Louis. Beyond footwear, there’s also plenty of classic British outerwear, plush cold-weather sweaters, and more from Middleton’s closet that are still on the market right now.

Below, check out six of Middleton’s most-worn pieces that you can add to your own closet as fall begins.

Go-To Pumps

For over a decade, Middleton has been wearing Gianvito Rossi’s classic Gianvito 105 pumps. The pointed-toe suede pump is a style the royal has worn for formal and diplomatic occasions. She loves them so much, she’s worn them in at least nine colors.

Favorite Cold-Weather Jacket

Barbour has been a mainstay in British fashion for over a century, and many of its coats and jackets are worn for hunting and nature excursions by the royal family. Middleton’s particular Winter Defense Waxed jacket is a lined cotton style she’s thrown atop multiple cold-weather outfits over the years since first wearing it in 2012.

Best Dress(ed)

Middleton often wears contemporary and luxury British brands in her day-to-day life, including Beulah London. The label’s Ahana dress is a midi-length style with a flattering attached belt, which Middleton has worn in both short- and long-sleeved versions to multiple events — including Wimbledon matches and the Young Victoria & Albert Museum opening.

Preferred Purse

Middleton doesn’t often wear a bag, but when she does, it’s typically a ladylike piece she’ll recycle in future outfits. The Multrees Chain Wallet from Strathberry is a leather clutch style she’s carried in multiple colors for more proper events, including the Order of the Garter and Commonwealth Day Service events.

Everyday Jewelry

Kate might regularly wear Princess Diana’s jewelry suite for fancier fêtes, but tends to mostly favor simple metal jewelry for daytime meetings and events. Laura Lombardi, whose jewelry she’s worn for years, counts Middleton as a fan of her Portrait necklace that can dress up casual looks and enhance even the most basic separates.

Classic Kicks

Though Superga is known for its range of white sneakers, Middleton gravitates most to the label’s 2750 Cotu Classic style. She’s laced into the white canvas style numerous times, including her royal visits to Canada, Germany, and the Caribbean.

Since her debut Fendi show a year ago, Creative Director Maria Grazia Chiuri has shown a knack for bringing generations together at her runways. That was no different at Fendi’s Spring 2027 show, which marked her third collection for the Italian house. This time, Chiuri had some familiar Fendi faces alongside newcomers in the front row during Milan Fashion Week. Plus, everybody brought their it bags from the house for the occasion — from reissued Baguette and Peekaboo styles adorned with fringe, sequins, and studs to the critically underrated Fendi Croissant.

Rachel Zegler toted the latter alongside a black ponyhair jacket and plaid skirt, marking her first-ever Fendi show. A similar dark color scheme was worn by stars Yara Shahidi and Monica Bellucci, who wore all-black looks at the show. Meanwhile, Iris Law sparkled in a silver slip dress and matching Baguette bag. Maisie Williams and content creators Tamu McPherson and Leonie Hanne also wore different combinations of Chiuri’s Fendi separates, mixing blazers and suiting-inspired accessories together just like they were shown on the runway.

Below, discover all the stars — and their statement bags — spotted in the front row of Fendi’s Spring 2027 show.

Rachel Zegler

Rachel Zegler took a page from Carrie Bradshaw’s book with her Fendi Croissant bag. The rounded black-and-brown style swung from the actor’s arm in the front row, where she wore a black ponyhair jacket over a silk blouse and gray plaid midi skirt.

Maisie Williams

Fresh off her Practical Magic 2 press tour, Maisie Williams suited up in a white collared shirt and black tie beneath a matching peacoat and shorts. The actor swapped sunglasses for gold-rimmed aviator eyewear, with a grungy touch from a black leather Baguette bag trimmed in metal studs.

Yara Shahidi

Yara Shahidi returned to Fendi’s front row in a simple black slip dress, which she accessorized with the label’s black leather cuffs. The actor added a black leather Fendi Peekaboo satchel to finish her minimalist outfit.

Iris Law

After walking Vogue World: Milano, Iris Law sparkled in a silver sequined dress. The glittering piece was given an edge by white Fendi Vertigo pumps with studded straps and embossments. Law completed her look with a matching sparkly Baguette bag with a thin strap.

Monica Bellucci

Monica Bellucci, who attended Chiuri’s first two Fendi shows, returned for her third in a black silk shirt and trousers. The actor dressed up her relaxed set with rounded sunglasses and a large fringed black leather Peekaboo satchel.

Tamu McPherson

Tamu McPherson was suited up for Fendi’s show in a classic black tuxedo blazer and trousers. The content creator finished her look with large aviator sunglasses and pumps in the same dark hue, plus an ostrich-embossed Peekaboo bag.

Leonie Hanne

Leonie Hanne mixed business and pleasure with her black Fendi blazer and sheer lace dress. The content creator layered both pieces over a shirt collar-style choker, matched with black socks beneath the brand’s slingback pumps. A rusty brown leather Baguette added a rugged accent to her outfit.

In the fashion industry, September is something of a reset. No, there’s never really a dull month — but after a summer full of OOO days and some much-needed relaxation, we’re once again off to the races. Blame it on the start of fashion month and award show season, but September is always a whirlwind, and this year is proving no different. Case in point: The month’s fashion news is already taking over our social media feeds, spanning new product launches, brand collaborations, and star-studded fall campaigns.

Good news for your wardrobe (and not-so-good news for your wallet): September marks the month when fall runway collections finally hit stores. Perhaps the most talked-about release thus far is Givenchy’s cult-favorite Shark Pinch boot, which creative director Sarah Burton has reimagined in six new iterations. Speaking of accessories, Gap is all the rage right now, thanks to its new GapBag collection, designed by Reed Krakoff, the brand’s executive director of accessories. The line features five silhouettes, all inspired by Gap’s bestsellers over the years.

What else is happening in the fashion world this September? Scroll onward for this month’s need-to-know news — and, as always, keep checking back for more updates throughout the month.

Danimás Launches Ready-To-Wear

On September 24, Danimás — a lifestyle label founded by businesswoman and former professional bodybuilder Dany Garcia — made its first foray into ready-to-wear with a Fall/Winter 2026 collection, months after launching with workout gear in April. The 28-piece line includes standout styles like the Everything jogger, made from breathable taffeta, as well as the Warm-Up jacket and coordinating pants, crafted from recycled Italian matte nylon.

“Women should be able to express themselves in the gym with the same freedom, confidence and glamour they bring to every other part of their lives,” Garcia said in a statement. “That was a void I experienced personally. I could find extraordinary fashion for the rest of my life, but when I walked into the gym, the choices became much narrower. Danimás was created to change that. We are bringing in luxurious materials, exceptional design and true performance into the training environment — so women never have to compromise and leave their sense of style at the door.”

Jacquemus & Nike Unveil A New Color Of Its Moon Shoe

Jacquemus and Nike’s co-designed Moon shoe just got a bright update, arriving in a new colorway: Emerald Rise, a multi-blue palette inspired by Miami’s vibrant scenery, from the ocean to its iconic Art Deco façades. Though the palette is evolving, the silhouette remains the same, featuring a ruched nylon upper, Nike Grind outsole, and ballet-inspired design.

Banana Republic & La Ligne Collaborate

On Sept. 9, Banana Republic and La Ligne debuted a 36-piece collection and accompanying campaign, fronted by actor Zoey Deutch. The line hones in on day-to-night dressing, with pieces like striped sweaters and suede skirts bringing La Ligne’s playful aesthetic to Banana Republic’s signature silhouettes.

“Banana Republic's archives have such a rich design vocabulary, and getting to spend time combing them was a dream for us," La Ligne’s co-founders said in a statement. “For this collaboration, we wanted to honor that heritage through a La Ligne lens — our love of stripes and timeless design, our attention to details, our insistence on quality, and our quest for joy. This collection is really a conversation between two design languages that turned out to have so much in common: a belief in pieces that are classic but never boring, built to move seamlessly through a woman's day.”

Jimmy Fairly Introduces Collection Lab

Jimmy Fairly seized the opportunity to get in on the sartorial happenings this month, launching Collection Lab, a limited-edition line made exclusively for fashion month. Inspired by the retrofuturism of the ‘70s and ‘80s, the new five-piece collection exudes a distinctly vintage vibe, featuring vivid colors and throwback silhouettes. The frames are available to shop online and at Jimmy Fairly locations across all four cities on the fashion month calendar.

Bergdorf Goodman Celebrates Its 125th Anniversary With A Star-Studded Party

On Sept. 9, the eve of NYFW Spring/Summer 2027, legendary department store Bergdorf Goodman celebrated its 125th anniversary with a star-studded party featuring celebrities and tastemakers — including The Zoe Report’s Founder and Editor-at-Large, Rachel Zoe. Guests were treated to a slew of special experiences throughout the evening, from signing the legacy Assouline tome as a guest book and posing for photographer Hunter Abrams to enjoying a surprise birthday cake. To round out the night, singer-songwriter Ravyn Lenae took the stage to perform songs from her newly released album, Blue Island.

KREWE Eyewear Makes Its NYFW Debut On The Zankov Runway

Jimmy Fairly isn’t the only eyewear brand partaking in fashion month. Krewe made its NYFW debut on the Zankov runway with Muse, a new NYFW-exclusive frame. The oval-shaped shades, featuring interior acetate finishes in bone and leopard, were styled with five runway looks, underscoring their versatility. You can shop the sunnies on Krewe’s website.

Kallmeyer Launches Its Magazine Bag

From clothing to accessories, industry-favorite label Kallmeyer has you covered in the wardrobe department. And this month, it has a buzzy new handbag to add to the mix: the Magazine bag. Though the silhouette was first unveiled on Kallmeyer’s Fall/Winter 2026 runway, it officially dropped on Sept. 10. Named after Magazine Street in New Orleans, the purse is crafted from full-grain leather with a suede lining and custom Italian brass hardware. According to a press release, the bag will return in new iterations season after season.

The Beekman Celebrates 10 Years In Lower Manhattan

The Beekman has plenty to celebrate this summer. The Thompson hotel officially marks 10 years in Lower Manhattan, where it opened in the historic Temple Court building in August 2016 following an extensive renovation. To commemorate the milestone, The Beekman — a stylish, it-girl-favorite spot — is rolling out exclusive anniversary offerings and original content honoring the people who have been part of its story.

For instance, the hotel is offering the Jet Set to The Beekman, a $10,000 one-night package that includes an overnight stay in the West Turret, a private terrace cocktail reception for six with selections from the hotel’s original opening menu, and an intimate dinner for six by Tom Colicchio’s culinary team — plus, a BLADE helicopter flight to Pier 6 in Lower Manhattan, where a house car will transfer you to the hotel. The anniversary festivities continue at The Bar Room and Laissez Faire, which are currently serving a signature celebratory cocktail.

“This anniversary is a chance to recognize all that has shaped The Beekman and carry that unmistakable spirit forward,” Titus Negrescu, the general manager of The Beekman, said in a press release. To further commemorate the occasion, the hotel recently hosted a chic dinner during New York Fashion Week, drawing a fashion-forward crowd.

Bloomingdale’s Introduces Hotel Bloomingdale's

This fall, Bloomingdale’s is introducing Hotel Bloomingdale’s, an immersive retail destination created alongside The Ritz-Carlton. From Sept. 10 through Oct. 19, customers are invited to Bloomingdale’s 59th Street flagship, where The Ritz-Carlton is bringing its signature luxury hospitality to the retailer’s iconic Carousel through fashion, beauty, wellness, home, and travel. Within The Ritz-Carlton x Late Checkout capsule collection, shoppers can discover offerings from 55 brands — including Alex Mill, Petite Plume, and La Prairie — 14 of which are new to Bloomingdale’s, as well as hospitality partners Diptyque and Frette.

Celine & Reebok Debut The Freestyle Lo

Celine and Reebok are joining forces on a sneaker, reimagining the latter’s Freestyle Lo, which originally debuted in 1982. Launching Sept. 10 on Celine.com and Reebok.com, the kicks will be available in eight colorways, ranging from fiery red to dark brown. The shoe was previously teased at the French fashion house’s Paris Men’s Fashion Week show back in June. According to a press release from Celine, the partnership is described as “heritage two ways: Paris street, American movement.”

Van Cleef & Arpels Launches A New Version Of Its Alhambra Collection

On Sept. 1, luxury jewelry house Van Cleef & Arpels unveiled a new addition to its iconic Alhambra collection, which dates back to 1968. For the latest iteration of the line, the Maison turned its attention to enamel, incorporating the precious material into a new jewelry set featuring a long necklace, pendant, bracelet, and earrings. Each piece showcases vibrant pink enamel framed by delicate tiny gold bubbles and finished with a distinctive textured effect.

“With these Alhambra creations in enamel, Van Cleef & Arpels opens a new chapter in the history of its iconic collection, symbol of luck,” Catherine Renier, president and CEO of Van Cleef & Arpels, said in a press release. “Thanks to our workshops’ expertise and capacity for innovation, enamel brings an original esthetic and shade to the Alhambra universe, which has continuously reinvented itself over the decades.”

Givenchy Releases Its New Shark Pinch Boots

On Sept. 3, Givenchy launched its Shark Pinch boots, first unveiled on the Fall/Winter 2026 runway earlier this year. Though the silhouette is a longtime signature of the fashion house, creative director Sarah Burton has given it a fresh update. Ranging from $2,550 to $2,690, the collection features six variations, each preserving the original double-shank silhouette. New details include an elongated shaft and metal “Pinch” hardware, which first appeared on accessories in Burton’s inaugural Fall/Winter 2025 collection. For the campaign, Givenchy tapped Kaia Gerber to model the reimagined boots.

Argent Launches A 10-Year Anniversary Capsule

This month, Argent hit a major milestone: a decade in business. To celebrate, the beloved workwear label launched a 10-year anniversary capsule starring 100 trailblazing women across business, media, politics, sports, and culture. The lineup includes Courtney Mays, Mecca James-Williams, Elizabeth von der Goltz, Laura Brown, and many more. The accompanying collection, meanwhile, debuts 10 pieces rendered in Argent’s signature magenta hue.

Gap Introduces The GapBag Collection

Gap continues to win over the fashion set — this time with a genius (err, jeanius?) bag line. On Sept. 8, the retailer released its GapBag collection, designed by Gap Inc.’s Executive Director of Accessories Reed Krakoff. Krakoff — a three-time recipient of the coveted CFDA Accessories Designer of the Year award — looked to the archives for inspiration, drawing from some of Gap’s most iconic designs, including its five-pocket denim and classic Arch Logo hoodie. Priced from $30 to $148, the collection features five styles — the Five-Pocket Tote, Hoodie Tote, Favorite Tote, Shoulder Bag, and Crescent Bag — along with a selection of charms.

To commemorate the new launch, Gap is kicking off NYFW with a four-day takeover at Rockefeller Center from Sept. 10 through 13. On-site, shoppers can pick up the Five-Pocket Tote from the collection and take advantage of customization experiences, including chainstitch personalization, limited-edition charms, and accessories.

Amelia Gray & Iris Law Front DKNY’s Fall Campaign

On Sept. 1, DKNY unveiled its fall 2026 campaign, fronted by models Amelia Gray and Iris Law. Directed by Trey Laird and lensed by Mikael Jansson, the campaign follows the duo around New York City, dressed in the label’s signature cool-girl separates. Gray lends her signature sleek, minimalist sensibility to the campaign, while Law embodies the effortless edge synonymous with New York style. The collection follows suit: A largely monochromatic palette evokes the city skyline, punctuated by bolder pieces inspired by Manhattan’s energetic downtown scene.

Repetto & Yohji Yamamoto Team Up For A Third Collaboration

Repetto and Yohji Yamamoto unveiled their third collaboration on the latter’s runway in Paris last March, and on Sept. 14, the shoes will finally be available to shop. For the latest team-up, Yohji Yamamoto reimagined Repetto’s Bolchoï design, a ballerina-inspired pointe shoe. The result? A ballet flat-loafer hybrid available in cherry red, black, and metallic silver.

For nearly four decades, Maria Grazia Chiuri has woven feminist storytelling into her designs. Most prominently in her tenure at Dior, the Italian designer has drawn inspiration from icons like Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, Spanish flamenco dancer Carmen Amaya, and historic monarch Mary, Queen of Scots. It seems Chiuri’s penchant for finding a fine balance between feminism and romanticism has not slowed in her new role as chief creative officer of Fendi. The label’s Spring/Summer 2027 collection was a shining example, as Chiuri tapped Italian pop culture star Raffaella Carrà as her muse.

“Raffaella’s performance with [Adriano] Celentano was an exhilarating collective dance, pervaded by this vitality — bodies that work and perform,” says Chiuri in a recorded video posted on Fendi’s Instagram account, referencing the famous 1974 performance on Milleluci, the popular Italian television program co-hosted by Carrà. “This spectacular performance, in this theater of mirrors, [showed] that they are the actors, where we all interact with one another. And I firmly believe that we exist in relation to others, to what surrounds us.”

Indeed, Carrà’s sensual Italian style — largely defined by fitted, body-hugging catsuits, high-neck mesh crop-tops, bell-bottomed trousers, and glittering bralettes — was noted in Chiuri’s latest collection. The designer sent models down the runway in bejeweled ‘70s-style maxi dresses that could easily have been spotted at an all-night bender in Studio 54 some 50 years prior. The aforementioned signature catsuit embraced by Carrà was reimagined as a black long-sleeved jersey style accented with shoulder cutouts and silver grommet studs.

Underwear as outerwear (a prevailing theme across all cities this fashion month) was heavily present, showcased in satin sets consisting of long lace-trimmed shorts and coordinating triangle bra tops in soft teal, peach, and classic black. Strategic exposure and body exploration were definitely the name of the game here: In her IG recording, Chiuri nods to E. E. Cummings’ poem I Like My Body When It Is With Your.

“We began with conversations about undergarments, our bodies, and then what happens when we share our body with someone else. [It became a reflection] on femininity, and thus also on the Fendi sisters,” she explains.

This notion materialized in plunging necklines, revealing bare chest or the sexy peek of a lace bra, sheer chiffon dresses and fringed tunics exposing cheeky unmentionables, and thigh-high playsuits with side cutouts to showcase one’s natural curves.

“Of course, fashion is shaped by the body, as is always said,” read the official show notes. “But [Chiuri] wants to reaffirm how in this powerful relationship, the most important thing for her is to surrender to that sense of emotional freedom that, when designing the collection, becomes an interpretation of the desires of today's bodies: strong and fragile at the same time, in their relationship with one another and where masculine and feminine meet.”

Ahead, see Fendi’s ultra-sexy take on spring dressing.

Time truly does fly when you’re having fun. Or at least, such is the case during fashion month, which is somehow nearing its end. New York and London are in the rearview mirror, with Milan Fashion Week now in full swing. And even if you aren’t in attendance, there’s a lot to gush over from afar. Two words: street style. Day one in Milan has already served up some swoon-worthy fashion moments from showgoers — but then again, we expected nothing less with Prada and Diesel kicking things off.

Though street style outfits in New York and London tend to appear as though they were plucked straight from attendees’ own closets, that’s not typically the case in Milan. Instead, guests often arrive at designers’ shows clad in their looks — and not just a piece here and there, but from head to toe. Case in point: Prada. It girl Anaa Saber, for one, arrived in the fashion house’s red floral embroidered midi skirt, while content creator Caetana Botelho cozied up in one of its red striped scarves and a burnt orange sweater. And with the schedule featuring Italian houses like Gucci, Versace, and Bottega Veneta, prepare yourself for a steady stream of designer moments from attendees.

Below, take in the best street style looks from MFW Spring/Summer 2027.

Why not coordinate with your friend by dressing in a similar color palette?

Influencer Yoyo Cao bundled up in a printed furry jacket, pairing the outerwear with slouchy cargo pants.

Note to self: primary colors can be incredibly chic when mixed together.

A tailored blazer instantly grounds a printed set — bonus points if the jacket is in the same color scheme.

Though electric purple can be daunting to wear, styling the color with black helps tone it down.

This guest gave the dress-over-pants styling hack a go, layering a pastel pink lace number over black jeans.

Adding embellishments to a polished skirt can truly make a world of difference, as seen above.

Pops of red take an all-black look from 0 to 100.

Why stop at one Diesel logo-adorned piece when you can wear two?

Good news: Saber’s Prada embroidered midi skirt is still available to shop (for now, that is).

This fall, try mixing traditional autumn shades with bright colors, as Botelho did here.

At Chicago’s Diva’s Run — a race designed entirely for women to cross the finish line in tiaras, pink tutus, and glamorous finisher medals — we asked racers a simple question: How do you celebrate your skin through every stage of life? A clear theme emerged: Women aren’t necessarily looking to turn back the clock. They’re looking for ways to care for the skin they’re in — and they want products that can keep up with them.

That philosophy is at the heart of Rodan + Fields, who was on the grounds with an activation at the finish line. The dermatologist-founded skincare brand was built around high-performance formulas and the idea that taking care of your skin should evolve right alongside you. So, from hydration and SPF to targeted treatments, here’s what women at the finish line had to say about aging, skincare, and learning to love every stage.

The goal isn’t necessarily to hide the evidence of all those years. It’s to care for the skin that has carried you through them.

The Mindset Shift

“Before I would be like, oh, I’m really getting older. Now I just think: ‘Let’s take care of what we got as long as we can.’” - Melissa, 40s

There’s a moment that happens in many women’s lives when “How do I look younger?” starts to become “How do I take care of what I have?” For some, it happens gradually. For others, it’s a deliberate choice to show up for themselves.

That mindset shift changes the skincare conversation, too. Instead of viewing every wrinkle or age spot as something that needs to be erased, women are becoming more intentional about supporting their skin through the years — with routines that prioritize hydration, protection, and targeted care. It’s a philosophy that aligns with Rodan + Fields’ approach to skincare: creating products designed to address visible signs of aging while helping women care for their skin at every stage.

The Basics: What Actually Works

When women talk about skincare, they’re not necessarily chasing every new trend. They’re talking about the things they’ve learned their skin needs consistently — and the answers are surprisingly universal.

Hydration, And More Hydration: “As I age, I notice that I have to drink more and more water. Moisture is what keeps the elasticity in the skin.” — Tequila, 30s

Hydration is truly a skincare basic that never really goes out of style. For women looking to give dry or mature skin an extra dose of moisture, a rich overnight moisturizer like Rodan + Fields’ REDEFINE Overnight Restorative Cream can be an easy way to make hydration part of a nightly routine.

Sun Protection Is A Non-Negotiable: “SPF daily. And definitely lots of water.” — Melissa

It’s hard to talk about caring for skin over time without talking about sun protection. Daily SPF is a foundational step for helping protect skin from UV exposure, making it one of the simplest — and most important — ways to care for your complexion long-term. Try: REDEFINE Triple Defense Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 30.

A Routine That Lasts: “I keep it clean, and then I like to use my retinal.” — Betty, 60s.

From gua sha to targeted treatments, women are finding plenty of ways to make skincare feel personal. But there’s something to be said for finding a routine you’ll actually stick with.

For women incorporating retinol into their routines, the REDEFINE Intensive Renewing Serum can complement a broader skincare regimen by helping visibly improve the look of fine lines, uneven tone, and skin texture — making it an easy addition for anyone looking to keep their routine focused and consistent.

The Reframe: Wrinkles as Wisdom

“I am embracing the grooves as wisdom, and I’m embracing the age spots as focal points.” - Therese, 60s

The biggest shift these women noted as they aged was perspective. Caring about your skin doesn’t have to mean being at war with it. You can want hydrated, healthy-looking skin while also embracing the lines and marks that come with a life well lived.

“Even though I have more wrinkles as I’m getting older, I’m learning to embrace them.” - Betty

For these women, skincare becomes less about chasing an impossible idea of youth and more about investing in how their skin looks and feels today. And that’s where having a thoughtful, consistent routine — and products formulated to support it — can make a difference.

The Performance Factor: Skincare For Women Who Show Up

The women we talked to on the grounds weren’t exactly slowing down. They were crossing finish lines in tiaras, celebrating with friends, and showing up for an experience that was all about feeling strong, accomplished, and unapologetically themselves. That same energy can apply to skincare.

The goal isn’t to make your skin perform like it did 20 years ago. It’s to give it the care it needs now — whether that means replenishing moisture with a nourishing cream, protecting it with SPF, or adding a targeted treatment to your routine. That’s the thinking behind Rodan + Fields: skincare designed around real concerns and real routines, so women can focus less on chasing perfection and more on caring for the skin they’re in.

Skincare As Self-Care

“Taking care of your skin is part of your self-love. It’s part of being yourself. I am 40-years-old, so I have to be a little more conscious about my skin routine.” -Nandini, 40

For many women, the daily skincare ritual has become something deeper than maintenance. It’s become a small but meaningful act of self-care. And that may be the biggest takeaway of all. A skincare routine doesn’t have to be about correcting everything you think is “wrong” with your face. It can simply be a few minutes in the morning or at night when you choose to take care of yourself.

Whether that means layering on a targeted Rodan + Fields treatment, smoothing on an overnight moisturizer, or keeping things incredibly simple, the ritual itself can be a reminder that you’re worth the time.

And perhaps most powerfully, there’s a gratitude running through these conversations.

“You know, so many people don’t get to age. It’s such a blessing.” - Melissa

That perspective puts skincare in a different light. Instead of treating every sign of aging as something to fear, caring for your skin can become part of appreciating the fact that you get to experience another year, another birthday, another finish line. The goal isn’t necessarily to hide the evidence of all those years. It’s to care for the skin that has carried you through them.

The Takeaway

Women aren’t redefining aging by giving up on skincare. They’re redefining it by making skincare more personal — and more positive.

• Stay hydrated: Inside and out, moisture remains a skincare essential.
• Protect your skin: Daily SPF is one of the most important habits for long-term skin care.
• Find what works for you: From retinal and targeted treatments to a simple moisturizer, consistency matters more than having the most complicated routine.
• Embrace the process: Wrinkles, lines, and age spots can be part of the story rather than something to hide.
• Make time for yourself: A skincare routine can be a practical ritual of self-care.
• Choose products with purpose: Dermatologist-founded skincare, like Rodan + Fields, gives women options for addressing the visible concerns that evolve with their skin.

The most beautiful part? There’s no single right way to age — or to care for your skin while you do it. What matters is finding what makes you feel cared for. Redefining aging isn’t about looking younger. It’s about feeling good in the skin you’re in — and giving that skin the care it deserves at every finish line along the way.

Leave it to Pamela Anderson to deliver another striking style moment before September ends. For decades, Anderson has been known for her effortless bombshell outfits. This season, she continued that renowned streak with a fashion-forward appearance at Vogue World: Milano, which highlighted the best current and past looks from Italian designers during Milan Fashion Week. For the occasion, Anderson turned to Ferragamo for an elegant ensemble that made a high-shine statement in the front row.

While arriving at the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II for the occasion, Anderson shimmered in a metallic gold Ferragamo Fall 2026 dress. Designed by Creative Director Maximilian Davis, the shiny silk piece includes a long bodice with slit sleeves and a mermaid train. A gathered panel at the knees and black trim brought a geometric detail to the style. Anderson accessorized the look with a pair of crystal-topped black Ferragamo heels and a crocodile-embossed clutch from the Italian house. A Pandora necklace covered with pendants from its new Pat McGrath collaboration finished her outfit with extra sparkle. Though she typically opts to go makeup-free, Anderson matched her dress for Vogue World with dusky gold eyeshadow and black eyeliner.

It marked Anderson’s latest Fashion Month outing, following her busy New York Fashion Week — which included appearances at Calvin Klein Collection, Khaite, and Carolina Herrera’s Spring 2027 shows. At Vogue World, she was joined in the front row by stars like Dakota Johnson, Naomi Campbell, Mikey Madison, Claire Holt, Ciara, Hunter Schafer, and Gabrielle Union.

Vogue World: Milano had plenty more eye-catching moments on the runway and in the front row. The event opened with Gigi Hadid, who bowed in a Valentino Haute Couture gown by Alessandro Michele. She was followed by a cameo-filled runway featuring Jennifer Lopez, Cardi B, EJAE, Levi McConaughey, Sam Claflin, Adria Arjona, Ava Phillippe, Lux Pascal, Aryna Sabalenka, and Machine Gun Kelly, plus designs by Versace, Etro, and more.
