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

The fashion industry experienced a first on Thursday: Dior showed their Pre-Fall collection in Mumbai, marking the first time a major fashion label outside of India has shown in the country. The large island city hosted a bevy of stars, from Bollywood and beyond, and industry insiders to take in creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri’s

In BC times (before children and—yes, shrug—before Covid), shoe shopping was an act of indulgent self-care. Sky-high pumps, over-the-knee boots, oversize platforms were equal recipients of “hello, lover,” equitable math equations (who said my tour of duty at an investment bank wasn’t a learning experience?), and my hard-earned cash money. Decades later, a peep in

Over the last decade, we’ve all become increasingly well-informed about where, how, and by whom our clothing is manufactured. Activist Aditi Mayer has been one of the voices bringing attention to those questions. She began examining the historical, social, and political injustices that bolster the estimated $1.7 trillion industry in the wake of 2013’s Rana

This year is shaping up to be all about clownery in fashion. For Christopher John Rogers’ pre-fall 2023 collection, the designer unveiled a magical ivory white clown suit, replete with silk flowers for added drama. The theme of the clown has seemingly reached its sartorial peak: it was literally everywhere at the spring 2023 couture

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. This season, fashion pulled a fast one. Dopamine dressing? Serotonin-seeking maximalism? Aughts bodycon? We don’t know her. Instead, trends were out and wardrobe-building was in; on the runways, stealth wealth reigned in a way it hasn’t since the glory days of

I am a cold girl. As in, I’m cold all the time. I get chilly at the hint of a slight breeze, and I need an extra layer when the temperature drops below 70. Suffice to say, winters are hard. Having grown up in the tri-state area, I’ve learned to manage, but every time the

Shoppers, rejoice! Today, Target announced the highly anticipated lineup for its spring designer collection—and it couldn’t be better. Editor-loved labels RHODE, Fe Noel, and Agua Bendita have officially been named as Target’s latest limited-time partners. All three companies are woman-founded and owned, so there’s no better way to round out Women’s History Month than with

Elizaveta Porodina Beauty compounds. That’s the theme of Wes Gordon’s latest campaign for Carolina Herrera (as in treatments formulated to deliver results). For their fifth collaboration since 2020, Gordon once again teamed up with photographer Elizaveta Porodina—but this time, to amplify the artistry of the designer’s resort and spring/summer 2023 collections, he tapped Dove Cameron

The Jikaria Sisters, reigning queens of the dance video and staying true to their own styles, are it rn. Their hook is super-fun clips that incorporate many styles of dance (seriously, we’re talking everything from classical Indian movement to hip-hop), performed in super cool spaces around their hometown of New York City. They take serious

The babydoll dress swept through the spring 2023 runways like no other silhouette. From Loewe’s dynamic striped wonders to Versace’s Courtney Love-esque little nothings, loose-fitting, pint-sizes dresses with major volume quickly became the garment on everyone’s minds. And then, there was M3GAN, 2023’s lifelike AI doll horror heroine who proudly sports a pale pink silk

KlevanG Everything Harry Styles wears becomes news fodder. Whether he’s rocking a dress or a Halloween costume, his fearless sartorial statements only make him more lovable in the eyes of his ever-growing fan base. You could argue his style is what he’s become known for in recent years—pre-Don’t Worry Darling press tour, at least—but OG

There’s this look I can’t get out of my head lately. It defies neat categorization. Drenched. Asymmetrical. Slightly disheveled but in a considered, intentional way. SZA does a version of it in her music video for “Shirt” (the one where she and LaKeith Stanfield cycle through disguises and spray gunfire on everyone they meet). It’s

Halle Bailey, Hanni, and Julia Garner starring in a Gucci campaign together was definitely a surprise on my 2023 fashion bingo card, but noteworthy nonetheless. For the relaunch of the Horsebit 1955, the Italian house tapped the unexpected trio of zeitgeisty stars (Bailey will play Ariel in Disney’s live-action remake of The Little Mermaid; Hanni,

Courtesy of Madewell, Banana Republc and Kate Spade | Collage by Leah Romero I’m in need of a sartorial reset. Apparently, so is the rest of the fashion world. Yes, the runways are dotted with spectacles and performances worthy of endless social media posts. And yes, maximalism may always be in the trend rotation. But

Kantamanto Market, a secondhand exchange in Accra, Ghana, has piles of clothing taller than the people walking through it. When the wind picks up, T-shirts whirl around the seemingly endless rows of clothes, most of which have been discarded and donated from Canada, the United States, and Europe. It’s impossible to know the exact amount

As cliché as it sounds, warm weather does feel like a breath of fresh air. After months of darkness, the moment the sun shines well into the evening, it’s all about outfit planning for balmy nights spent sitting outside at dinner with a drink and friends. To create actual looks this spring, update your closet

Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world. Of all the things to re-enter the fashion chat for spring, an 18th-century accoutrement that has zero real-world practicality was probably not on anyone’s bingo card. Nevertheless, panniers, or hooped petticoats undergirding the hips, and their 16th- and 17th-century relatives, farthingales,

It’s official: the -cores are dead, and with their timely demise comes a resurgence of preppy, minimalist dressing that focuses on well-made pieces meant to stand the test of time (and trends). And Tommy Hilfiger, the American designer famous for pioneering the ’80s and ’90s prep aesthetic, knows a thing or two about timeless, perpetually

Peek into my closet and you’ll find a sea of black skirts that serve as centerpieces of my outfits. Before you write it off as boring or uninspired, let me explain: These selects are far from basic and simple. Usually featuring ruffles, pleats, or details like asymmetrical hems, they’re distinctive and attention-grabbing. Often they become

Camila Mendes isn’t one to shy away from her true identity. The Brazilian-American actress, best known for her breakout role in Riverdale and, most recently, as the fallen Queen Bee in Netflix’s Do Revenge, knows the value of self-acceptance, whether it’s onscreen, IRL, or “In My Tabby,” her new campaign for Coach, debuting exclusively on

Two days after the Oscars, Law Roach used his platform to make a big—and totally unexpected—announcement: he’s retiring. In a candid and cryptic Instagram post, the 44-year-old celebrity stylist wrote, “My cup is empty…the politics, the lies, and false narratives finally got me! You win…I’m out.” People were shocked, airing their protestations and expressing mass

In ELLE.com’s monthly series Office Hours, we ask people in powerful positions to take us through their first jobs, worst jobs, and everything in between. This month, we spoke with Sarah LaFleur, the founder and chief executive officer of M.M. LaFleur, a woman’s fashion brand built on creating stylish, comfortable clothes for women in the

Chances are, Kim Jones made your favorite sneakers—or at least, they would be your favorite, if they hadn’t sold out in five seconds. He’s the artistic director at Dior Men and the brains behind the “Air Dior” Nikes that literally broke the brand’s website, plus collabs with Converse, those coveted skate slip-ons at Louis Vuitton,

“Versace is always the dream,” says Dua Lipa. She is sitting on the roof of a parking garage in Los Angeles, surrounded by a thrumming crowd of fashion editors bleary from the Paris runways, stylists taking a break from their A-list clients for the upcoming Oscars, and K-Pop princes in popsicle-colored suits. Elton John zips

Hailey Bieber presumably has access to every piece of designer clothing she could possibly want. Yet when given the opportunity to flex her design skills, she skipped the sequins and ball gowns and instead dreamed up double-breasted overcoats, long-sleeve tees, and pleated trousers. Her capsule collection with Wardrobe.NYC came about because even she felt like

Anne Hathaway is back at it again, proving she’s red carpet (in addition to Genovian, of course) royalty. At Versace’s Fall/Winter 2023 show in Los Angeles, the actress delivered a killer all-black ensemble. The outfit: a Versace crocodile-effect minidress, sheer tights, sky-high platform boots and sunglasses, and sparkling Bulgari jewelry. The dominatrix-style set would do

ELLE’s series Clothes of Our Lives decodes the sartorial choices made by powerful women, exploring how fashion can be used as a tool for communication. Below, in her own words, Olympic boxer and fashion model Ramla Ali shares the story behind her custom Off-White boxing robe—which she says gives her a confidence boost before a

One of the main reasons I became a fashion editor was my fascination with personal style: clothes as a medium for self-expression. The first way we get to know someone (even before speaking to them) is simply by looking at their outfit. We often communicate who we are with our wardrobes—which can make developing your

This just in: Gen Z’s favorite bikini brand has partnered with the TikTok demographic’s favorite bombshell on a swim collaboration that is sure to heat up summer 2023. The Sydney Sweeney x Frankies Bikinis collection is the brainchild of the Emmy-nominated actress and producer and the Los Angeles-based beachwear brand, who already teamed up to
