Chloe Kim has never been afraid to fall down (she always gets back up), nor to ask for food in the middle of a press conference (she’s frequently hungry, she said…), even less to perform unbelievable tricks, spins, and flips that she alone masters (at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, no less). Not even gravity

My first love was a pair of Birkenstocks. I was on the brink of tweenhood taking cues from the cool older kids at my school, where, seemingly, one shoe was part of the mandated uniform: the Birkenstock Boston clog. The teens of the time insisted on wearing these so much that the principal eventually accepted

Just look at her latest collection, CeLOUbrations, which fêtes her first decade in business. And when the occasion in question becomes the entire holiday season, she’s the perfect person to ask.

They say history is doomed to repeat itself, but to simply say that Hedi Slimane is repeating himself would be trite. Indie sleaze has been the trend on everyone’s tongue recently, inspiring a social media rehash surrounding the hazy days of the mid-aughts. But nobody knows it better than Slimane himself, who curated and perfected

Zoey Grossman + Design Leah Romero As one of the most influential models of the past several years, Paloma Elsesser knows a thing or two about fashion, taste, and the finer things in life.

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. She has a seemingly endless, trousseau-like wardrobe; an affinity for matching sets that is unrivaled even by 1989-era Taylor Swift, an aperitivo permanently welded to her hand, and a travel adapter on her Dyson AirWrap. Daphne Sullivan, the object of everyone’s

Diamonds are definitely a girl’s best friend, but a watch may be her best investment. Kristen Shirley recognizes that the world of watches is one shrouded in mystery and filled with machismo that makes buying a watch daunting if you’re new to the game. Shirley, an ELLE alum and industry veteran, set out to lift

You’ve probably seen them plastered across your Instagram feed or on the heels of your favorite influencers: chunky platforms, knee-high boots, and mules in bold patterns that range from gingham to daisies, in playful silhouettes and eye-popping shades like fuchsia and metallic silver. The brand? Larroudé. Over the past two years, the ’70s-influenced footwear has

As we enter the winter season, let’s have a little refresher on how to elevate our basic winter style. We took inspiration from today’s IT-girls like Bella Hadid and Zendaya and the hottest runway shows to give you the best foundation for your winter looks.

For her first big fashion moment, Alexandra O’Neill was locked down, pre-vaccine, and totally alone save for her dog. When newly-minted First Lady Dr. Jill Biden appeared at President Joe Biden’s inauguration in 2021 wearing a turquoise coat and dress designed by her brand, Markarian, she—and the label—became famous overnight. Nearly two years later, when

You’ve undoubtedly heard the term, but auras remain an abstract concept for most of us. A form of energy, auras are said to be colorful emanations that surround the bodies of all living things. (Even animals!) An aura is felt—only psychics and readers are privy to physically seeing them—and can tell you more about a

Britney Spears is on the radio again, George Lopez has returned to television, and Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez actually tied the knot

The magical season is here. No matter your celebratory style, there’s a distinct dazzle that envelops our environment.

Thanksgiving may be past us, but that only means one thing: The holiday season is just beginning. Your last handful of weeks before we officially ring in 2023 are sure to be chock-full of festivities, and there’s no doubt you’ll need a few good outfits to have on hand.

Getty + Design Leah Romero Everyone wants to be Emma Chamberlain, or at the very least be her friend. How could you not? She’s effortlessly cool, wildly stylish, and refreshingly low-key. “Low-key” for someone with 16.2 million followers on Instagram, that is. The internet-influencing, coffee-sipping, art-collecting, sweater vest-wearing 21-year-old is, ostensibly, good at everything, which

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. Putting aside the burgeoning 2010s twee revival, the word “quirky” gets a bad rap in fashion. But when Alessandro Michele, then largely unknown, came onto the scene seven years ago, he made eccentricity feel cool again after years dominated by tastefully

You ready for some good news? DeMellier, a.k.a. designer Mireia Llusia-Lindh’s handbag line that’s loved by Meghan Markle and legions of fashionable people alike, is taking 20 percent off its entire site for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. And when I say entire site, I can also specifically attest that the swoon-worthy forest green top-handle

I was already convinced that fireworks follow wherever Sir Elton John treads when he arrived at Saks Fifth Avenue on Tuesday night, ready to ignite the department store’s famous annual holiday lights and window display. He wore, as he’d promised me in an email interview that morning, “head-to-toe Gucci”: a red-and-blue tracksuit, Gucci x Adidas

Alessandro Michele, the 49-year-old who came from the anonymous caverns of the design department to revolutionize Gucci, will exit the brand, Gucci announced in a statement today. In the press release, Marco Bizzarri, president and CEO of Gucci, thanked Michele for his dedication to the house over the past eight years, “and for his vision,

Glamour is a weapon and Precious Lee knows it. She’s sitting under a giant bronze crossbow wearing a Thom Browne blazer with a custom satin bodice, which adds to the whoa of it all.

As someone who is currently knee-deep in (checks notes) season five of Suits, I gotta admit I have a girl crush on Meghan Markle. I mean, what’s not to love? The hard truths she drops on her podcasts? The philanthropy work? And can we talk about the clothes?! If you want to bring a little

’Tis the season for a packed holiday schedule of soirées dinners and celebrations as well as the need to sort out stylish looks for every occasion. One gift that continues to shine through it all is an iconic handbag. The latest collection of the classic Polo Ralph Lauren’s Polo ID handbags, are elegant carryalls that

Few women on earth embody the title of “icon” quite as naturally as Naomi Campbell. The iconic supermodel got her start in the industry over 30 years ago, and quickly rose through the ranks to international success.

Chez Panisse, the Bay Area locavore mecca helmed by chef Alice Waters, has long served a singularly minimalist dessert at its casual upstairs café: ripe fruit in a bowl. To select the right figs or pears or olallieberries for each bowl, Chez Panisse’s kitchen staff carefully tracks the ripeness of each one, sorting, sniffing, and
