5 New York Fashion Week Beauty Trends To Watch (And Try)

Now that the fall 2026 collections have walked the snowbanked runways of New York, many of our big beauty forecasts from last season have gained new energy. Pastel lids were just as blue at Marc Jacobs's nostalgic kickoff to the week's shows, and soon fingertips and toes at Rachel Scott's Proenza Schouler show were painted in an escapist shade of pale cerulean.

Margot Robbie Re-Creates Kate Moss's Sheer Indie Sleaze Dress From 2004

There was a moment in the mid-noughties, the period roughly between 2004 and 2007, when it was nearly impossible to find anyone in fashion circles who wasn't draped in Alexander McQueen's skull print. The likes of Kim Kardashian, Nicole Richie, and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were all devoted fans. 20-odd years later, and Margot Robbie is back on the skull print bandwagon, stepping out in a decidedly sheer look that winked to the pattern's heyday.

Cindy Crawford Goes Makeup-Free For 60th Birthday Lunch Celebrations With Her Lookalike Sisters An...

The retired supermodel celebrated the big 6-0 with her sisters Chris and Danielle and her mom Jennifer.

On the heels of a lavish birthday dinner hosted by Michelin star chef Juan Manuel Barrientos, Cindy Crawford is still celebrating the big 6-0 with her beloved family by her side. Most recently, that meant a casual birthday lunch with her two sisters and her mom, which Crawford attended completely makeup-free.

The first image showed a bare-faced Crawford with her sisters Chris and Danielle and their mom, Jennifer Sue Crawford-Moluf. The second snapshot featured a chocolate birthday dessert complete with a side of ice cream and two gold candles that aptly read ⁘60.⁘

Fellow 1980s icon Paulina Porizkova , who also semi-recently turned 60, even chimed in with her own well wishes in the comments: ⁘Happy birthday Cindy!!! May it be your best decade.⁘

Crawford's birthday celebrations kicked off with a new portrait of the Meaningful Beauty founder posing in a low-cut pinstripe vest on February 20. The daring top featured an unconventional wrap closure, which she paired with matching trousers and her signature blowout.

⁘60 is the new 60!⁘ She wrote in the accompanying caption . ⁘Grateful for all of it. Thank you for the birthday wishes ❤️.⁘

Pool A features Canada, Colombia, Cuba, Panama and Puerto Rico and begins play on March 6 in San Juan.

Marc Jacobs Kicked Off New York Fashion Week With An Historical Spring 2026 Collection

Marc Jacobs unofficially opened New York Fashion Week on Monday night with a runway show for his spring 2026 collection, which riffed on a slew of famed fashion moments from the past. Björk blared on the speakers inside the Park Avenue Armory, as models wore looks that recalled the midi skirts and unconventional geek-chic, jolie laide suiting of Prada spring 1996; the retrofuturistic shapes of Yves Saint Laurent 1965 couture; and the very New York, minimalist, black and white tailoring from Helmut Lang's fall 1995 collection.

Most importantly, Jacobs cited his own groundbreaking grunge collection for Perry Ellis, doubling down on the low-rise plaid skirts and greige knitted sweaters that reportedly got him fired from the gig back in '92 (and ultimately brought him fame). Spring 2026 included shrunken button-downs with skinny belts, chunky leather shoulder bags, streamlined coatdresses, and low-neck blazers with nothing worn underneath. Nineties X-Girl and Stüssy were also credited as Jacobs's inspiration for spring, along with his own shows from fall 1995, summer 1998, and spring 2013, among others.

Cindy Crawford Wows In Low-Cut Pinstripe Vest To Celebrate Her 60th Birthday

⁘60 is the new 60! Grateful for all of it. Thank you for the birthday wishes ❤️,⁘ she captioned a new Instagram carousel.

Crawford modeled a plunging pinstripe vest featuring an unconventional wrap closure, pairing it with matching trousers. In the second photo, she sported a halter-neck silhouette, while in the final slide, Crawford donned an ivory knit sweater and jeans.

"They were, to me, artistic," Gerber said of the portraits. "It wasn't vulgar; it wasn't objectification."

Alessandra Ambrosio's Self-Portrait Slip Dress Comes With Bold High Slits

Alessandra Ambrosio is reminding everyone why she remains a red carpet favorite, this time showing up rocking a slip dress with a sheer cutout and two super bold high slits. The Brazilian supermodel stepped out in a sultry lace number that perfectly blended vintage lingerie inspiration with modern evening glamor.

Alessandra Ambrosio turned heads in a burgundy satin slip dress by Self-Portrait featuring intricate black lace across the bodice and a daring cutout at the waist. The delicate lace detailing framed her neckline, while the silky skirt flowed dramatically with two thigh-high slits that added movement and just the right amount of edge.

She layered the look with a plush white fur jacket draped effortlessly over her shoulders, striking the perfect contrast against the deep wine hue of the dress. A sparkling diamond choker elevated the ensemble, giving the alluring silhouette a touch of Old Hollywood sophistication. Ambrosio completed the look with a structured black handbag and soft glam makeup, wearing her hair in loose, glossy waves.

Fans flooded the comments section with praise. "Gorgeous babe," one admirer wrote, while another exclaimed, "Wow, seriously, Wow." A third fan called her "stunning amazing style shining, elegance natural spells shining deep elegance," summing up the mood perfectly.

Kate Moss's Lace Slip Dress Proves Polka Dots Can Be Punk

Kate Moss built her wardrobe on bias-cut slips, cigarette-slim tailoring, and the kind of louche layering that feels almost slept-in. She is perhaps the main arbiter of sleek London model cool, of course, long allergic to anything resembling twee. Which is exactly why her latest outing felt like such an unexpected departure.

At the Los Angeles premiere of Sandiwara , a new short film by Sean Baker from Self-Portrait's residency program, Moss traded her signature rock-and-roll for something decidedly more polished and prim. She wore a silk two-piece blouse and slip dress done in an elegant navy satin with white polka dots. With its soft drape and ladylike finishes—buttons running up the bodice, demure lace trimming the hem—the ensemble felt like it belonged in the wardrobe of another Kate entirely. Middleton, that is.

Moss managed to rough it up, however. She wore jet black lace-up boots, adding a fair amount of edge to the look, and opted for stacks of silver rings and mismatched bracelets. The model completed her look with natural skin, a nude lip, and her famous tousled blonde hair with dark roots.

Moss has never been shy about experimenting with her style. But, over the years, the model has become associated with a kind of undone, rock minimalism rather than the softly polished femininity she showed last night. Her latest outfits, including slim jeans and a major Conner Ives coat , pared-back tailoring , and sleek model-off-duty staples , only reinforce that reputation.

With Paris Fashion Week on the horizon, should we expect a new, more romantic Moss to emerge? We won't hold our breath.

Florence Hunt Wore Dior To The ‘Queen At Sea' Berlin Film Festival Photocall

Following her front row appearance at the Dior Men's Spring 2026 show last month, and the official announcement earlier this month as a Jonathan Anderson's newest Dior ambassador, it was inevitable that Florence Hunt would step onto the red carpet at the Queen At Sea Berlin Film Festival premiere wearing Dior for both the photocall and the premiere.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I am not entirely against the photocall look from the Dior Spring 2026 collection. Yes, the front-draped panel adds weight to the silhouette. However, she's 19-year-old, the oversized proportions feel age-appropriate as most teenagers are embracing baggy denim and relaxed tailoring, so this did not feel out of step with her generation.

I was less convinced by Florence's second Dior Spring 2026 look, largely because I never liked it to begin with. The pink skirt still does not quite land for me. I think a black skirt would have worked better here.

I also wish her stylist had selected look one from the collection instead. That option would have been a stronger moment for the newly appointed ambassador.

It's hard to believe but Spring Training is already here! Here's how to tune in to the MLB pre-season.

Emma Laird Wore Louis Vuitton To The ‘Mint' Berlin Film Festival Premiere

Emma Laird attended the Mint premiere during the 2026 Berlin International Film Festival on Sunday.

When the British actress was first introduced to us, we immediately placed her in the Jennifer Connelly and Sophie Turner category of Louis Vuitton ambassadors who can wear even the trickiest runway pieces and sell them with conviction.

This halter gown is less about architectural drama and more about controlled elegance, yet it still commands attention.

That said, I do not interpret this as Emma turning her back on her more directional style. These recent choices feel calibrated for high profile premieres, where romance translates well on the carpet. I feel that her more experimental instincts are still feel intact; this simply reads as range rather than retreat.

She completed the look with the Phenomenal ring set with one LV Monogram Star cut diamond from the Awakened Hands , Awakened Minds Louis Vuitton High Jewelry collection.

Longshot medal hopes or not, Glenn is ready to reclaim her joy for skating on Olympic ice in Thursday's free skate.

Shiffrin experienced Olympic glory for the first time in eight years. Meanwhile, men's hockey featured two thrillers that could have put its bracket in a blender.

From Bobbi Brown lipstick to her classic tortoise shell headband, CBK's beauty faves work as well today as they did back then.

Nike's Losing Streak: Tapestry And Ralph Lauren Step Up

TPR and RL are Nike's counterparts in the Apparel, Accessories and Luxury Goods sector that possess:

1) A lower valuation (P/OpInc) compared to Nike stock
2) However, greater revenue and operating income growth

This disparity between valuation and performance may suggest that investing in TPR and RL stocks is preferable to purchasing NKE stock.

The backdrop to this comparison is a period of sluggish performance at Nike, which has seen softening demand for athletic footwear and apparel, heightened promotional activity squeezing margins, and inventory drawdowns signaling weaker consumer spending. At the same time, Tapestry and Ralph Lauren have delivered more consistent top-line growth, driven by resilient luxury and premium segments, strategic pricing power, and better inventory management. This divergence highlights a broader shift in consumer preferences toward premium lifestyle brands and raises questions about Nike's ability to regain growth momentum in an increasingly competitive market.

If you are looking for potential gains with reduced volatility than investing in a single stock, think about the High Quality Portfolio (HQ) – HQ has surpassed its benchmark – a blend of S⁘P 500, Russell, and S⁘P midcap index, achieving returns over 105% since its inception.

This is merely one method to assess investments. Trefis High Quality Portfolio examines much more and is crafted to mitigate stock-specific risk while providing upside exposure.

One way to determine if Nike stock is currently overpriced compared to other tickers is to observe how these metrics compared across companies one year ago. In particular, if a significant reversal in Nike's trend has occurred over the past 12 months, the existing mismatch might also likely reverse. Conversely, ongoing poor revenue and operating income growth for Nike would strengthen the conclusion that the stock is overvalued relative to its peers but may not correct soon.

Chanel Denim Is Coming For Your Makeup Bag

If there's one fabric that is quintessentially American, it's denim. But despite its strong roots in the US, the material has become a global staple, with countless designers putting their stamp on it, whether that's through the countless washes, classic jeans or innovative silhouettes that depart from the essentials. Now it's even coming for your makeup bag with Chanel 's new limited-edition denim makeup collection.

"In my opinion, it's all about versatility," says Chanel Makeup Artist Tyron Machhausen . "Denim is a timeless material that constantly reinvents itself. Depending on the context, it can go from a simple, everyday companion to an extraordinary couture look. Denim is also deeply personal. We all have stories about our first perfect jeans and the connection they hold to our lives. And makeup, like fashion, is becoming more expressive and personal, making this denim collection the perfect bridge between the worlds of fashion and beauty."

"It has that soft glow that doesn't try too hard. It's not shiny or sparkly—it just catches the light in a really natural way, the same way denim does once it's been worn and loved," Machhausen says. "I love applying it to the high points of the face—cheekbones, temples and the bridge of the nose—for an effortless glow. It's also beautiful lightly swept across the eyelids or right below the brow-bone for a fresh, modern highlight."

Meanwhile, the Les 4 Ombres Denim Dream and Coco Jean palettes evoke jeans in eyeshadow format in a slightly more literal way. "They remind me of denim washes—from faded to deep indigo," Machhausen says. "The textures are key: some shades feel soft and matte, others catch the light, just like denim does depending on how it moves. The textures allow you to build or sheer out the color, which is exactly how I like to work as an artist. I love keeping it really soft—one blue shade blended across the lid, clean skin, good lashes. It feels modern and chic without being intimidating. For night, I'll just deepen the lash line, elongate it a bit and stop there."

Bella Hadid Does Valentine's Day Solo

This Valentine's weekend, Bella Hadid proved the ultimate love story might just be between a girl and her vintage closet. Out in Los Angeles, the model celebrated the holiday in full bombshell mode: unapologetic, archival red.

On Thursday, Hadid attended a pre-Valentine's event for her fragrance brand Orebella in a vintage number from Georges Chakra's spring 2003 collection. The two-piece ensemble centered on a fitted semi-sheer slip dress complete with glittery pailettes and a flouncy, ruffled maxi skirt. Over top, she wore a matching chiffon shawl that cascaded down her arms. Hadid sported her blonde hair in a tousled half-up, half-down style complete with a red flower clip pinned at the back. She finished the look with pointed-toe heels and a dark red clutch.

Less than 24 hours later, Hadid was back out on the town, this time heading to Chateau Marmont for a Galentine's dinner with friends. The dress code was decidedly more low-key, though she still found a way to weave in a few choice archival gems. The model slipped into a vintage Versace top complete with a bold baroque print and off-the-shoulder silhouette. An archival Chanel bag hung from her shoulder, while a burnt orange coat—thrift-store in spirit, if not in origin—added a touch of Americana. She finished the look with black trousers, pointed heels, and a single red rose in hand.

Gigi Hadid Looks Unbothered In A Cozy Coat For Theater Date With Bradley Cooper After Her Ex Zayn...

Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper stepped out for another cozy date night — this time bonding over one of their shared passions: Broadway.

The pair attended Sean Hayes' one-man Off-Broadway show, The Unknown , at the Studio Seaview theater in New York City, where the production is running through April 12.

In a viral clip captured after the performance, the supermodel was seen in a sleek monochrome ensemble, wearing a brown suede trench coat cinched at the waist with an oversized belt. She paired the statement outerwear with a matching shoulder bag, keeping the look polished.

Her warm blonde hair was styled down in a center part, and she opted for minimal makeup, letting her natural glow shine through.

The actor kept things equally low-key in a navy blue sweater and reading glasses, embracing an understated, intellectual vibe for their theater night out.

Broadway outings have become a go-to date night for the pair. The couple is frequently spotted supporting both Broadway and Off-Broadway productions, turning theater visits into one of their favorite public activities together.

Over the past year, they've attended shows such as Chicago , Sweeney Todd , and Waiting for Godot . In a Vogue profile, Gigi shared that Bradley has played a big role in reigniting her love for live theater.

Kendall Jenner Hooks Cheekily Poses In Nothing But A Thong And Bra

Lingerie photoshoot, but make it low-key contortionism. This could easily have been the inspiration for Kendall Jenner 's latest photo. Taking to Instagram on Valentine's Day, the model posed in one of her most confusing and most risqué poses yet. Rocking a set of black lingerie, Jenner lay on her stomach and, somehow, managed to hook one of her clean PVC heels through the back of her underwear. I am impressed. And also kind of wondering how she got out of this position after the photoshoot was done. She let the photo speak for itself with a "💘" emoji as her caption.

Jenner is no stranger to a lingerie or swimwear moment, whether it's for an ad campaign, a photoshoot, or just a night out on the town. Last month, the model posed in a cozy butter yellow bra and legging set from Alo as part of a campaign for the athleisure brand. Back in December, she opted for a chocolate brown workout set paired with unexpected ballet flats . She also recently rocked a sleek black one-piece bathing suit while appearing in a Super Bowl ad for Fanatics Sportsbook in which she joked about her former boyfriends and the "Kardashian curse."

Jenner has, in fact, always been happy with showing a little skin for the sake of modeling. Back in 2014, one of her first modeling jobs saw her going topless on the runway for Marc Jacobs. "I don't know why I wasn't nervous about that. I was really excited about my tits being out actually," she later told W Magazine . "It's weird, I love my tits being out! It's like one of my things I guess."

Robust Earnings Set Off Shiseido's Biggest Stock Rally In Almost Eight Years

Shiseido rose the most in nearly eight years after the company's fourth quarter earnings and full-year forecast beat analyst estimates.

The stock surged as much as 15% in Tokyo trading Thursday, the biggest intraday gain since May 2018.

The jump came after the cosmetics and beauty company said Tuesday that core operating profit for the fourth quarter rose 61.4% to ¥14.4 billion ($94 million) from a year earlier. It expects core operating profit of ¥69 billion for the year ending December, beating a Bloomberg consensus of ¥63.7 billion.

Coty Inc. (COTY) Price Target Cut On Disappointing Quarterly Results And Guidance

Coty Inc. (NYSE: COTY ) is one of Goldman Sachs' top penny stock picks . On February 9, Canaccord Genuity lowered its price target for Coty Inc. (NYSE:COTY) to $2.50 from $3.50, while maintaining a Hold rating.

Meanwhile, Coty issued disappointing guidance, signaling a potential sequential decline despite year-over-year comparisons. The company expects like-for-like sales to decline by mid-single digits due to weakening Consumer Beauty sales trends, and has also withdrawn fiscal year 2026 adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow guidance.

"Our financial performance over the past year and a half has been disappointing, and our current share price reflects that reality. […].In parallel, we are continuing our portfolio review to identify opportunities to unlock shareholder value in both the near and long term, complemented by other value-driving initiatives, such as the recent divestiture of our remaining stake in Wella at the end of CY25, which delivers on our commitment.

While we acknowledge the potential of COTY as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk. If you're looking for an extremely undervalued AI stock that also stands to benefit significantly from Trump-era tariffs and the onshoring trend, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock .

E Lauder (EL) Is Up 10.1% After Raising 2026 Guidance And Reporting Margin Gains – Has The Bul...

In early February 2026, The Estée Lauder Companies reported improved quarterly results with sales rising to US$4,229 million and net income reaching US$162 million, reaffirmed a US$0.35 quarterly dividend, and revised full-year 2026 guidance to forecast 3%–5% reported sales growth and Reported EPS of US$0.98–US$1.22.

The company's progress on its profit recovery and turnaround plan, led by stronger performance in skincare and fragrance and better margins, signals that recent restructuring and growth investments are beginning to translate into healthier earnings.

We'll now examine how this improved profitability outlook and raised guidance may influence Estée Lauder's existing investment narrative and risk profile.

The latest GPUs need a type of rare earth metal called Neodymium and there are only 30 companies in the world exploring or producing it . Find the list for free.

To own Estée Lauder today, you need to believe its profit recovery and "Beauty Reimagined" plan can steadily rebuild margins while travel retail, China exposure, and makeup weakness remain manageable. The latest quarter's return to profitability and higher full year guidance support that turnaround thesis, but they do not remove the key near term risk that any setback in Asia travel or emerging markets could quickly reintroduce earnings volatility.

The reaffirmed US$0.35 quarterly dividend alongside improved earnings and guidance is particularly relevant, because it shows management pairing profit recovery with ongoing cash returns to shareholders while still funding restructuring and growth investments. For investors focused on the turnaround catalyst, this balance between reinvestment and payouts will matter if revenue growth or margin gains come in at the low end of the company's new outlook.

Uncover how Estée Lauder Companies' forecasts yield a $104.30 fair value , in line with its current price.

The Two Rachel Scott Women, Explored At Proenza Schouler And Diotima

This New York Fashion Week was bound to be a big moment for Rachel Scott—well, two big moments, as the designer shared a collection at her Diotima and her first-ever for Proenza Schouler. We've had a glimpse into her beauty perspective at past seasons of Diotima, which included undone Jamaican glam, but with a second show on her schedule, how would it change?

These put together imperfections carried on into the details of the show's beauty look. "[We took] elements of a classic makeup look and deconstructed them," makeup artist Thomas de Kluyver told me backstage. "It's makeup as an accessory." De Kluyver dreamt up three off-kilter looks utilizing Byredo's assortment of colorful cosmetics. The traditional eyeliner was eschewed—a chunky black kajal swiped across the lid on one eye, then on the lower lash line on the other. Some model's look was lip-centric. The average red power lip (shade Red Coma) was reworked in a similar style: one half-swipe of liquid matte lipstick in shade Red Coma on the top lip, and a half-swipe on the bottom lip to a jigsaw effect. "These slightly distort the face in a way," de Kluyver continues. The last look centered around dramatic lashes; a simple coat of mascara was swapped for a foil-crusted eyelash coated with Byredo's Astronomical Mascara in shade Space Black. Otherwise, skin was kept fresh and glowing—thanks in large part to Furtuna Skin's lineup.

Hair, too, embraced imperfection to embody "the woman who put herself together, and then kind of had to rush out the door," said pro makeup artist Holli Smith , who imagined a low ponytail that appears simple and effortless, but required time and precision. Curls, waves, and natural texture were enhanced by Oribe products, then set into place with T3 hot tools. The finish was sleek and out of the way, but undone.

A few days later, on an equally dreary day, came the Diotima show in the Financial District. "At Diotima, beauty is inseparable from the political," Scott said in the show notes. She drew inspiration from the work of Wilfredo Lam, an artist known for his portrayal of Afro-Cuban culture and spirituality. Lam's work embodies resistance, and Scott called out Lam's femme cheval motif in particular. The designer considered how this figure, both human and divine, transforms the object of desire into a cultural power.

Unilever (LSE:ULVR) Valuation Check After Recent Share Price Momentum

Find winning stocks in any market cycle. Join 7 million investors using Simply Wall St's investing ideas for FREE.

Unilever (LSE:ULVR) has caught investor attention after a recent run of positive returns, including a 12.16% move over the past month and 6.49% over the past 3 months, against a £53.55 last close.

Beyond the recent gains, Unilever's 11.04% year to date share price return and 15.58% 1 year total shareholder return suggest momentum has been building over both shorter and longer timeframes as investors reassess growth and risk.

If this consumer staples strength has you thinking about where else capital is flowing, you might want to scan 3 top founder-led companies as a fresh source of potential ideas.

With the shares at £53.55 and only a 2.69% intrinsic discount indicated, it is fair to ask whether most of Unilever's appeal is already reflected in the price or if the market is underestimating its potential.

Against the £53.55 share price, the most followed narrative tags Unilever's fair value at £53.07, leaving only a small premium for investors to weigh.

Curious what it takes for Unilever's margins and earnings to back up that valuation call? The narrative leans on specific growth, profitability and pricing assumptions that are anything but casual.

However, volume weakness in key regions and pressure on operating margins could quickly challenge the idea that Unilever's current pricing and earnings profile are secure.

Analysts see Unilever as only 0.9% over its £53.07 fair value, but our DCF model tells a slightly different story, with the shares at £53.55 and a fair value of £55.03. That 2.7% gap is small, yet it raises a simple question: which scenario do you think is more realistic?

We're In A Trade-down Economy, And Ulta Is Winning

If you're feeling anxious about the economy, you're not alone. Consumer confidence is at its lowest in more than a decade . Americans are worried about inflation, a possible recession, and job security—and that anxiety is reshaping how they spend.

Even high earners are pulling back. Households are cutting big-ticket indulgences like vacations, fine dining, and designer fashion and redirecting spending toward essentials like groceries and personal care. Even then, they're choosing retailers that feel like smart value plays. Higher-income shoppers have increasingly frequented discount chains like Walmart and Costco—both of which have seen record-breaking quarters.

Ulta is poised to win in this economy. Since its founding in 1990, Ulta has specialized in selling mass-market beauty products, with some luxury brands sprinkled in. Walking the aisles, you'll find a $12 Maybelline foundation across from a $190 bottle of Chanel No. 5 perfume.

"We're very focused on being inclusive, and we want to be a destination for everyone," says Ulta CEO Kecia Steelman. "We can take care of your beauty shopping needs no matter what your budget is."

In a booming economy, that kind of mixing can feel unglamorous. Aspirational shoppers tend to gravitate toward retailers like Sephora or Nordstrom, where everything signals luxury. But for most people, this isn't a boom time. As consumers tighten their belts, Ulta's flexibility starts to look like a feature, not a flaw.

The Best Heart Nails Ideas To Wear For Valentine's Day And Beyond

For this festive nail design, paint three of your nails red then trace some strips in shades of pink and white in the style of a serpentine nail design. On top, paint small hearts and dots for a cute and dainty result. Go for a monochromatic look and wear a red outfit.

If you love minimalist manicures with a romantic touch, this design is ideal. It combines a nude or translucent pink base with pastel-pink Frenchie tips and white mini hearts that add a sweet and delicate detail. It's perfect for short to medium nails and works for both Valentine's Day and everyday wear. If you're not such a fan of pink, you can change the tips to any shade like baby blue, lilac, or butter yellow.

If you're a lover of the French manicure , but want to flip it upside down in the coolest way, ask for pink-tipped almond nails with red hearts on top. This combination looks great any time of year, especially when paired with denim and white garments. Plus, the colors project joy and love.

This design opts for an ultra glossy black base with negative space hearts outlined with silver glitter. The contrast is elegant, modern and not cheesy at all, ideal if you love Valentine's Day but with a more sophisticated and mysterious mood. Proof that black can also be romantic!

'I'm The Women's Health Fitness Director — Here's All The Equipment I Picked...

I've tested more than my share of fitness gear in my role as Executive Health and Fitness Director of Women's Health US. I know the difference between "fun to try" and "worth owning." But when it came time to choose big-ticket items like racks, benches , and adjustable dumbbells for our home, I treated it like a serious assignment, researching options, comparing specs, and making sure every piece would earn its place in our space and in my training routine.

We wanted a setup that felt functional without being cluttered. That meant picking equipment that was versatile, durable, and at least somewhat nice for me to look at. I went down so many review rabbit holes, stalked what my trainer friends were using, triple-checked dimensions (basement ceilings are sneaky), and weighed cost against quality.

In this roundup, I'm sharing all the gear we landed on — from free weights and mats to storage and mirrors — along with the specific reasons they made the cut for me. While I'm lucky to receive a lot of fitness gear through my job, almost everything on this list is something we personally invested in.

How To Make Your Lipstick Last Longer, According To Bobbi Brown

"What I love about lipstick ," Bobbi Brown tells me, "is that it's easy, it's quick, and it just makes you feel polished." The beauty entrepreneur knows a thing or two about the category—she has been formulating the makeup staple since 1991, the year she unveiled her first-ever products–a 10-strong lineup of brown-toned lipsticks–to Bergdorf Goodman in New York under her then eponymous brand Bobbi Brown Cosmetics.

Fast forward to 2026 and her newer venture, Jones Road , where Brown remains a clean cosmetics pioneer, is staying true to her roots with a line of easy-to-use, makeup heroes that break the internet with each new innovation—lipstick included. So who else to ask how to make your lipstick last longer?

"My approach to creating a lipstick is, first of all, looking at formula," she explains. "Formula is everything, because if it's not a flattering formula, it's never going to look good." As for the color-ways, "I always make sure there are lip-tone colors. I always make sure there's a red, an orange, a pink, a deep and a burgundy."

How do you find the right color for your lip tone? How do you find the right texture? What are common lipstick application mistakes? And most pressing of all, how do you give your lipstick longevity? Brown reveals all below.

When choosing a lipstick, Brown says it comes down to three things. Firstly, your personal style. "If you are someone who loves a bold lip, it doesn't matter if it works with your skin or not, that's your color. Do you like a neutral color? Do you like bright colors? Do you like dark colors?"

TikTok's Blythe Doll Makeup Trend Serves Up Easy Inspiration

When someone compliments your makeup and says you look like a doll, they usually don't mean it literally — at least until the viral Blythe trend came along.

On TikTok, many people are pulling beauty inspo from these cute (and slightly creepy) toys, which were originally released in 1972 . Blythe dolls have big eyes, pouty lips, and perfect makeup, plus really fun outfits, hairstyles, and accessories.

Because there are so many versions of the doll — think a Fenty-level range of skin tones — it's said that everyone has a Blythe that looks exactly like them. There's a doll out there that matches your hair, eye color, and overall style, and you can use her as inspo for your next makeup look.

To find your Blythe doll , go to the search bar on TikTok, type in "my Blythe doll," and if the algorithm is working in your favor, you should see a version that matches your look or aesthetic .

On Feb. 3, creator @itsbabykelz said, "I did the 'my blythe doll' trend and I'm OBSESSED … that's my twin FR." Her doll's face was giving full glam, so she packed on concealer, followed up with bronzer, and then applied blush to the apples of her cheeks.

Princess Kate's £25 Orelia Gold Hoop Earrings Are 'Perfect For Daily Wear*

A favourite of Catherine, Princess of Wales, who has worn them on numerous occasions, including during a visit to Maidenhead rugby club, the Chain Earrings are from Orelia.

The elegant earrings are ideal for everyday wear, being understated enough to match any ensemble. They're somewhat more distinctive than standard gold hoop earrings , featuring a chain-textured design.

Customers who have already purchased the earrings have left glowing reviews, with over 50 people rating them 4.76 out of five. One person described them as 'classy and excellent quality,' 'lovely everyday earrings,' but 'equally great for evenings out.'

Featuring a small gold hoop earring with a trending chain texture detailing, complete with an easy to wear click clasp fastening.

Another shopper remarked: ⁘I think these are wonderful. They are really easy to put on (I have arthritis in my fingers), and my nail technician noticed them and said she couldn't tell they were solid gold. I liked them so much that I bought 2 other pairs of huggies.⁘

The Famous, Soft 'Ballet Slipper' Nail Trend Is Back And Perfect For Minimalists

I know what you're about to say: Essie Ballet Slippers is the original nail colour. It's so famous that even the late Queen Elizabeth II adopted the shade as her signature manicure. Launched in 1982, the iconic bare pink polish has long held cult status, so how can it be that this barely-there hue is now making the rounds again? We have the beautysphere's obsession with sheer, milky, next-to-nude manicure trends to thank for that.

Whether you favour a hazy French tip or a pared-back Japanese mani , there's no bigger quiet-luxury beauty trend this year than a tidy, elevated set of tips. From 'princess' and ' bubble ' to 'milk' and ' vanilla gloss ', soft, flattering pink nail shades have dominated 2026 so far, and it's therefore no surprise that the vintage-inspired 'ballet slippers' nail trend is making a striking return. As we continue to watch trends roll in from the ELLE UK beauty desk, I decided it was time to give the original nude varnish (and the adjacent shades that have gained fame since) a much-deserved revisit.

While the trend of ballerina and ballet slipper nails have transcended the classic polish, there's no arguing that its roots lead straight back to the original Essie shade.

'Ballet Slippers works because it enhances rather than announces. It always looks polished, clean, and intentional without ever feeling dated,' says celebrity nail artist Michelle Humphrey . 'Trends evolve, but clean, natural nails will never not be a trend, they're the foundation of good grooming, and Ballet Slippers sits right at the heart of that and complements every length and shape of nail - Ballet Slippers is basically the little black dress of nails and should be in everyone's manicure wardrobe!'

She describes the shade as calm and considered, which I couldn't agree with more. 'It aligns with the wider move toward quiet luxury, skincare-led beauty, and manicures that feel effortless rather than overworked. It's understated confidence.'

The Cult Beauty x Lisa Potter Dixon The Art of Everyday Edit​ has been created with 'everyday' makeup in mind (Image: Cult Beauty)

For beauty fans looking for ways to enjoy a host of top-quality products without breaking the bank, a beauty box is always a good way to go. And Cult Beauty's latest edit in partnership with renowned make-up artist Lisa Potter Dixon is packed with iconic makeup brands and will only set shoppers back £7.50 each.

With names ranging from Fenty to Laura Mercier to Charlotte Tilbury, Cult Beauty explains that this haul has been created for 'everyone of all ages and skin tones' and boosts the 'everyday makeup routine with sheer colour and subtle radiance using versatile formulas to unlock an elevated, lit-from-within finish'.

The beauty edit claims to help shoppers save up to 70% on the products instead, rather than purchasing them full price. And with one of the makeup items inside valued at £30, this haul is pretty incredible.

The product in question is the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lip ⁘ Cheek Glow in 'Colour of Passion', which is loved for its easy-to-blend cream formula that delivers a dewy, sun-kissed glow. Made with Raspberry Leaf Stem Cell Extract , beeswax and Vitamin E, the Lip ⁘ Cheek Glow softens and hydrates the lips while it leaves the cheeks with a sheer, youthful radiance.

Shoppers adore its ease of application, with many people sharing how its perfect for on the go, with one fan of Charlotte Tilbury writing on its website: ⁘Love this, it's the one thing I go to when running out to the shop or just need a lift. At the other end of the scale, I love to use on my cheeks when going for the full-on going-out face.⁘

Charlotte Tilbury's €20 'Face Filter' Has Beauty Fans Ditching Foundation | Dublin...

Beauty fans are swapping foundation for a radiance boosting product from Charlotte Tilbury that mimics the flawless finish of a social media filter. The popular Hollywood Flawless Filter is available in a travel-friendly size for €20 , with a full-size version priced at €52 .

It's offered in four shades in the mini and 12 for the full size . This filter delivers a delicate hint of colour alongside a glow, smoothing the complexion without appearing cakey. It's versatile enough to serve as a primer, blend seamlessly with foundation, layer over base makeup, or wear solo for a natural look.

Customers should bear in mind the Hollywood Flawless Filter is designed as a complexion enhancer rather than a foundation. Anyone seeking fuller coverage might be better suited to a traditional liquid or powder base instead.

Alternatively, there's the Rimmel Multi-Tasker Better Than Filters at €14.94. This three-in-one skin tint is fortified with natural bio-peptides, including vitamins C and E, for a brightening boost.

Charlotte Tilbury's Hollywood Flawless Filter has racked up more than 6,800 reviews on the website, boasting an impressive 4.6 out of 5 star rating.

However, one customer wasn't convinced by the price tag or staying power. They remarked: ⁘Expensive gives a nice glow but after an hour or so it has gone⁘, awarding it just two stars.

This three star assessment noted: ⁘Not what I expected - but unsure how to use it⁘, so shoppers might want to check the website for tips and tricks.

The Armani Luminous Silk Foundation Is Back And Better Than Ever

That⁘s why I approached the updated Armani Luminous Silk Foundation with a mix of curiosity and caution. After all, when a foundation has stood the test of time through shifting trends, from ultra-matte to glass-skin glow, there⁘s not much you want changed. And yet, the Armani Luminous Silk has always been one of those rare formulas that transcends trends entirely.

The updated Armani Luminous Silk Foundation feels instantly familiar, but subtly better. The first thing I noticed was the texture. It⁘s slightly thicker than its predecessor, which initially gave me pause, but once applied, it melts into the skin effortlessly. It still spreads beautifully and settles without any heaviness, retaining that signature weightless feel.

Despite the richer texture, it remains breathable and flexible throughout the day. What really stood out to me was how well it held up around my nose area. This is usually where foundations reveal their weaknesses, especially on oilier skin. Even after hours of wear, there was no separation or patchiness. It stayed smooth and intact, which has become my personal litmus test for whether a foundation is truly well-formulated.

My skin looked fresh and luminous from morning through to evening, without feeling tight or uncomfortable, even in warm, humid conditions. The enhanced formula now offers 24-hour hydration, and it shows in how well the foundation wears over time.

Another noticeable improvement lies in the shade range and undertone accuracy. The Armani Luminous Silk Foundation now comes in 20 shades, enhanced by Armani⁘s precision pigment technology. Ultramarine pigments help prevent ashiness in deeper shades, while green pigments are blended into medium, neutral and warm shades to better suit olive undertones.

As someone with an olive undertone, this made a real difference. The shade matched my skin more precisely and blended seamlessly without pulling too yellow or dull. Once applied, the colour stayed true throughout the day, with no noticeable oxidation, which isn⁘t always a given.

Supermodel Ashley Graham Launches A New Lambrusco

Lucci launches today at a price of $19.99 and is a Lambrusco style wine from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. Lucci is both fruit-forward and dry and described as "crisp, fruit-forward, ruby-red and refreshingly dry with notes of black cherry, blackberry and bright acidity." The new Italian wine brand will be sold at major retailers including Total Wine and Harris Teeter, as well as online channels ReserveBar and Wine.com.

In the U.S., Lambrusco had its heyday in the 1980s and was a top selling imported wine style until Italian winemakers began to tilt too heavily into sweet flavors that turned off American drinkers. Graham says she has found it difficult to hunt for Lambrusco at various restaurants and retail stores. With Lucci, she hopes to make Lambrusco more accessible and an approachable price point.

The idea to launch Lucci came three years ago while dining at the Los Angeles Italian restaurant Bestia, where Graham and her business partner, Danny Epstien, were having bone marrow, noshing on pasta dishes and sipping some Lambrusco. "And I said, 'Why don't we just make our own Lambrusco?,'" recalls Graham. Epstien is the founder of Los Angeles-based Skylark, an investment firm that focuses on consumer-facing brands, sports and entertainment.

The model reached out to an Italian winemaker on Instagram (Graham isn't disclosing who is making Lucci) and visited Emilia-Romagna four times to get the business off the ground, though it only took a couple of trips to get the flavor how Graham envisioned it.

"I knew that I didn't want to go so dry that it zinged down your throat," says Graham. "But I also knew I wanted to stay way, way, away from sweet."

The wine category, which generates $74.3 billion in annual revenue in the U.S., has plenty of offerings from celebrities including rapper Snoop Dogg's 19 Crimes, actor Brad Pitt's Miraval, and Avaline and Invivo X from actresses Cameron Diaz and Sarah Jessica Parker, respectively. But the category has faced challenges, including luring in younger drinkers, in part due to being stuck in the pricey fine dining "occasion" and not particularly youthful in its approach to marketing or branding.

Heidi Klum Serves Fiery Energy In Latex Leotard For New Music Release

Heidi Klum teased a new drop with Diplo in a latex attire. The promo shot reads like a single cover. The supermodel posted the studio image 10 hours ago with about 4.5K likes and 125 comments. Her caption announced "New Music Friday" on February 13 and confirmed "Red Eye" as her new single with the producer.

The look centers on a nude-illusion latex bodysuit with black flame graphics, styled like a latex stage leotard. The Victoria's Secret model doubles down with glossy, thigh-high stiletto boots and oversized black sunglasses.

The set stays minimal, using a gray seamless backdrop and hard studio lighting, while Diplo leans into dark shades and leather-heavy styling. Fans reacted quickly in the Instagram comments. One wrote, "Top?" Another said, "Oh beautiful ???" A third added, "Wou…queen ??"

A closer look at the people and places shaping design, from inspiring interiors to exceptional products, in an expert edit by Wallpaper* global design director Hugo Macdonald.

Tomorrow marks the beginning of New York Fashion Week , which, in turn, heralds the start of a month-long A/W 2026 season of shows, with subsequent stops in London , Milan and Paris . It looks to be a season of (relative) calm: after 15 creative directors made their debut for S/S 2026, the coming weeks look set to see designers hone their visions as they settle into their roles (as such, A/W 2026 looks to be defined not by the ⁘debut⁘, but the ⁘sophomore⁘ show).

That said, the debuts continue, most notably in Milan, where Gucci will hold its first runway show under new creative director Demna (last season, as an introduction, he presented a short film starring Demi Moore and Edward Norton), Maria Grazia Chiuri will show her first collection for Fendi , and Meryll Rogge will debut at Marni. And those shows aside, the schedule across the month remains busy ⁘ not least in Paris, where an eight-day schedule cements the city⁘s status as the world⁘s style capital.

Here, on the eve of a new season in style, everything you need to know about Women⁘s Fashion Week A/W 2026.

Elsewhere, New York⁘s usual banner names return: Michael Kors will show on February 12, Calvin Klein on February 13, and Eckhaus Latta on February 14. Surrounding them are some brilliant rising names: we are big fans Zane Li⁘s fledgling label LII , which marries 1990s minimalism with architectural construction and a bold colour palette, while Ashlyn, led by Yohji Yamamoto alumnus Ashlynn Park, is evolving into one of New York⁘s most intriguing young labels with its reimagining of historical silhouettes and straddling of Japanese and Parisian codes (she recently won the 2025 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund). Other moments to watch out for are Nicholas Aburn⁘s sophomore show as creative director of Area, and the latest runway show from Khaite, which ⁘ if previous runway shows are anything to go by ⁘ will come with cinematic scenography conceived by founder Catherine Holstein and her architect husband Griffin Frazen.

Clinique's Black Honey Lipstick Is $19

We've been championing Clinique's barely there (in the best way) lip color since 2017, when Amy Larocca , who was at that point our fashion editor-at-large, declared it an utterly "perfect" lipstick that manages to "look good on everyone." I've been a fan for even longer; Almost Lipstick's iconic silver tubes have been floating around my various tote bags, makeup bags, and desk drawers since high school. I've never been a big lipstick wearer or makeup person in general, which is precisely why I love Black Honey: The goth-tinged deep-raisin color of the stick is actually nothing more than a sheer veil of color when applied. A single swipe of that, plus some tinted sunscreen, and I simultaneously feel pulled-together yet extremely casual.

The 12 Best Café Au Lait Nail Ideas 2026

It's official – I'm in my clean nail era. After a recent trip to a Margaret Dabbs London clinic which offers manis and pedis to the highest standard – at one point, I had a warm compress on each hand –, I forewent coloured gel in favour of a milky-toned strengthener polish. As someone who rarely veers away from the kind of colours Wednesday Adams would approve of, this was kind of a big deal.

As I sit and write this, I'm a phone call away from booking my next nail appointment. I'm not ready to part with nude nails yet, but a slight switch up wouldn't go a miss. Enter café au lait nails: a creamy taupe which offers the perfect ratio of milk to coffee. Delicious.

⁘Soft, creamy nudes and taupes enhance the natural nail, which aligns with the growing desire for understated elegance and long-term nail health,⁘ explains expert podiatrist Margaret Dabbs. ⁘As more people move away from acrylics, shades like café au lait offer a polished, 'your nails but better' finish that complements every skin tone while still feeling elevated.⁘

The best way to embrace the trend? ⁘With a warmer finish, it compliments all skin tones and works as a great base for earth-toned French manicures e.g. brown and deep coloured tips,⁘ explains London-based manicurist Nails by Mets . To add a subtle depth to the trend, opt for velvet or cat eye which will catch eyes when they hit the light at certain angles. Alternatively, tap into spring nail trends such as polka dots and floral designs, with café au lait as the base foundation.⁘

Proof that a low maintenance mani gives a high impact finish. Short, square nails paired with the coffee-toned shade look instantly chic and elevated.

For longer, almond-shaped nails, try leaning into the ombré trend and taking the nails from a weak-to-strong café au lait shade. Finish with an ultra glossy top coat or chrome.

Proof that glitter should never be reserved for the festive season. A top coat like the Mylee Gel Nail Polish Glitter Top Coat works wonders with the caffeine-inspired shade.

Joan Smalls Pairs Giant-Sized Cargo Pants With A Tiny Bra

Not so long ago, cargo pants—with all their extra pockets and baggy proportions—were firmly in fashion's "don't" column. But the utilitarian silhouette, once a relic of construction sites and frat bros, has been steadily reclaimed by the fashion set over the past several months. Its latest champion? Joan Smalls.

Smalls made the case for oversized cargos at the Marc Jacobs spring 2026 runway show in New York last night. The model supersized the trend, however, by wearing a pair of deliberately huge trousers. Done in an army green color, her pants featured two comically large pockets on either leg and bunching at the hem. Though they nipped in Small's waist, they were so long that her black heels were almost all but hidden underneath.

Smalls went minimal up top. She wore a mustard yellow bra that bared her midriff, with a brown faux fur coat that she styled coolly on her arms. Tousled curls and natural, glowing skin were the finishing touches.

The look actually joined pieces from Jacobs's fall 2026 runway presented in July, which leaned into exaggerated, almost doll-like proportions. Though Smalls's pants were shown with a lavender bubble top, she opted to go the lingerie route on Monday evening.

Smalls isn't the only star embracing the look. At the Dior Men show in Paris last month, model Mona Tougaard took to the front row in a pair of too-big cargo shorts, designed with a sculpted bustle at the back, and a fitted knit top. The likes of Rihanna (and her sons, Riot and RZA ), Tyla , and Gigi Hadid have all gotten in on the resurgent trend too.

But cargos aren't just a celebrity phenomenon. In addition to Jacobs, the 2000s staple has been reimagined by Jonathan Anderson at Dior, New York favorite Willy Chavarria, and Sacai.

"As 2025 comes to an end, my heart is full," she added. "This year brought deep lessons and profound growth. Becoming a mother again reshaped everything—my time, my priorities, my heart. I'm grateful for these sacred moments that changed me in ways words can't fully hold."

Naomi Watts' Stella McCartney Polka Dot Top Look Is Classic Chic

When it comes to polka dots , it's one fashion element that never re ally goes out of style, and Naomi Watts just gave the classic print a fresh, polished spin for the taping of her appearance on "The Kelly Clarkson Show." For this occasion, she opted for a Stella McCartney polka dot top paired with a sleek leather skirt. This ended up merging this vintage and playful pattern with all things modern and structured, creating a sense of sophisticated sophistication and giving a nod to vintage charm with a touch of modern trends.

For this occasion, Naomi Watts opted for a spectacular ensemble that accentuated her oh-so-enviable curves. "The Ring" actress' latest look featured a stylish polka-dotted top from none other than Stella McCartney. This full-sleeved white top with black polka dots created a rather monochromatic touch. It also had a cowl-like neckline. Watts' look also featured an extended sleeve and an oversized silhouette, which added to its appeal.

Further, Watts' accessory game included bold gold hoops, a matching ring, and stylish black sunglasses. These added a touch of charm to her ensemble. Even her blonde locks were styled into a bob with a wavy twist and a middle parting. This perfectly framed her face. Even her natural-looking makeup, paired with bright pink lipstick, looked awesome with the whole look.

Nab that French-woman je ne sais quoi with these cold-weather basics that ooze sophistication (while still keeping you warm).

Ponchos are making a comeback, and we're here for the versatile style that adds extra dimension (and warmth!) to any outfit.

Inside The Olympics Opening Ceremony With Vittoria Ceretti And The Giorgio Armani Crowd

Milan's San Siro Stadium—the city's landmark sporting venue that opened a century ago this year (and which is set to be decommissioned after these Olympic Games)—was at overflow capacity. Not only in the stands that hold 80,000 people, but also on the grounds and walkways, too—every tunnel, ingress point, and food stand had a line, with mostly Italian insignia on view, though there was tons of American regalia too. I might have actually seen more stars and stripes, but, being American, I might've been looking out for the red, white, and blue more than other national motifs. Soon, and slightly to everyone's surprise (as the working line has been, "This is Italy, you never know"), the Opening Ceremony of the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Games started at 8:00 PM, Central European Time, on the dot.

I was fortunate to have been offered a ticket via Giorgio Armani, one of this particular Games' partners. The house's EA7 Emporio Armani line is the official outfitter of Team Italia. After finishing half an Aperol Spritz at the Armani Hotel, our group—including the Italian supermodel Mariacarla Boscono in an Armani jacket and the actress Diane Kruger in a scarlet Armani bolero—headed forth. We had to walk a few blocks to our ride because of road closures. A high profile crowd cramming into a bus? "This is Italy."

We'd only just settled into Section 155 in the San Siro when the ceremony began. At that point, it was still warm enough outside (probably in the high 40s, Fahrenheit). We nursed Coronas from mini bottles and watched as a balletic dance number commenced. It featured set pieces of XL sized faux Greco and Roman statuary framed in white neon, which felt very 1990s gay Italian discoteca , which I liked. The principal winged and whisked about, the vibes were high. Our seats were ostensibly front row, but this was one of those situations in which the first few rows actually diminished the view, given the huge expanse of the space. We turned our heads upward to the screens. Apparently, this dance was a tribute to Athens–the origin of the Olympiad.
