Anybody can buy vintage clothing, but few can style it as impeccably as Alexa Chung. It was a huge trend on the Met Gala red carpet this year, with Kendall Jenner, Zendaya, Emily Ratajkowski and Bee Carrozzini all donning archival gowns that were truly mesmerising. And although the 40-year-old’s stylish presence was missed at this year’s ball, she’s still providing just as much iconic vintage dressing content this week with her latest Instagram post. Newly engaged Alexa shared a photo ‘dump’ with her 6.3m followers, leading with a mirror selfie of a quintessentially AC outfit.

Before marrying Prince William, Princess Kate (nee Middleton) had already begun mingling with her future royal in-laws, including attending high-profile weddings without her then-boyfriend. While the Prince of Wales was visiting Kenya, where he attended his ex-girlfriend Jecca Craig’s wedding, Kate joined the likes of Prince Harry and Chelsy Davy to celebrate Peter Phillips and his ex-wife Autumn Kelly’s nuptials at St. George’s Chapel on 17 May 2008. © Anwar Hussein Collection/ROTAPeter and Autumn were married from 2008 to 2021 In unearthed pictures shared exclusively with HELLO! magazine, Princess Kate arrived for the ceremony in a black knee-length dress layered underneath a pastel pink corset-style lace-up jacket.

Princess Charlene of Monaco’s unmistakable elegance seems to be rubbing off on her daughter, Princess Gabriella, who matched her mother’s sartorial prowess at the 2024 Monaco E-Prix at Circuit de Monaco on Saturday.  Princess Charlene, 46, was a timeless beauty wearing a head-to-toe Louis Vuitton ensemble. The South African-born royal stunned in the designer’s ‘Wetsuit Pull Tailored Jacket’, black cargo pants and the ‘Heartbreaker’ black leather pumps.  The wife of Prince Albert swept her platinum blonde pixie cut into a sweeping side parting, adding a soft smokey eye, fluttery faux corner lashes, a peachy-toned blush and deep pink lipstick to complete her ageless beauty glow.  © GettyPrincess Charlene of Monaco wore head-to-toe Louis Vuitton All eyes appeared to be on the Monegasque royal’s mini-me, however. Princess Gabriella, nine, looked so chic in white jeans, ballet pink suede loafers and a striking candy pink leather jacket.  Looking the image of her mother, the honey-blonde haired royal wore her tumbling locks in a plaited crown woven across her hair, letting her block fringe frame her delicate features.  …

Dua Lipa’s off-duty denim jacket and metallic Gucci bag is a major spring vibe

Published by skeptic

Leave it to Dua Lipa to send our spring-style senses into overdrive. The singer, songwriter and style muse just stepped out in a seriously killer ensemble which has made us rethink our seasonal wardrobe switchup.  © GettyRespectfully, I am obsessed Spotted yesterday out and about in Tribeca New York, the Illusion singer swapped out her ‘no pants’ and bodysuit music video look for a tailored dark grey maxi skirt made from suiting material, a structured denim jacket, black knee-high boots, sheer tights, lightly tinted sunglasses and a light-catching silver metallic horse bit bag from Gucci.  Although her stellar ‘fit isn’t on the traditional spring wardrobe guide which usually includes floral prints, brightly hued statements and mesh ballet flats, the way she styled the monotone look is still perfect for spring, likely due to her bold cherry cola hairstyle doing all the heavy lifting.  This is the first time we’ve seen the street style maven out and about for a while, most likely because she’s been in the studio cooking up her third studio album, Radical Optimism, …

The perfect travel jacket is the pet-tree-kor jacket

pet-tree-kor’s Green Helicteres Isora Jacket. (Photo Illustration by Beth Hoeckel) We find ourselves in that time of year dedicated to the most sensuous and worldly of the earth signs — that is, Taurus season. We are so grateful for our baby bulls, because they remind us that food, drink, sex and money exist to be experienced in all their glory. And what better way to indulge in all these things than by traveling? Liberate your carefully selected and impeccably preserved vintage designer purse strings (we’re talking Taurus, after all) and go somewhere. The ritual of travel is as visceral as it is spiritual. It’s the sweat collecting under your collar while you speed-walk to your gate (just to make sure it’s there, right?) as much as it is a 4 a.m. kiss on a starry beach accessible only by motorcycle. And the ritual before the ritual — packing — becomes a delicate, fraught dance of selection, a personal curatorial Everest that requires the traveler to dream, first and foremost, of how rainy the breeze might …

Duchess Sophie has the best selection of jackets, coats and blazers we’ve ever seen. We’re calling it! She accessories her outfits perfectly with a series of outwear staples, and knows the importance of a great coat. It finishes off any outfit perfectly. So we were delighted to see her rocking a brand new military design on Wednesday afternoon. The royal looked stunning as she visited Yeo Valley Farm in Blagdon. © GettySophie, Duchess Of Edinburgh wows in her Bally jacket The mother of Lady Louise Windsor and James, Earl of Wessex styled the coat with a heavy A-line skirt in a navy cord material with a pale blue floral shirt underneath.  As always, we heart her choice of accessories – she opted for leather boots in brown, her trusty ‘Lunatic Clutch’ from Sophie Habsburg and her ‘Changing Berlin Earrings’ from Lucia Odescalchi Jewels, which we’ve seen her repeatedly wear. © GettyMeghan rocking her stunning Celine jacket in 2021 We couldn’t help but notice that Sophie’s Bally blazer looked just like a garment the beautiful Meghan Markle wore in 2022. …

Mary Berry’s Secret Ingredient For The Best Jacket Potatoes

Mary Berry’s Secret Ingredient For The Best Jacket Potatoes

Published by skeptic

We’ve written before about how Mary Berry adds unexpected ingredients to everything from her midweek lasagne recipe to her mash. And it turns out that the Cordon Bleu-trained chef also has a… lesser-known (to us, anyway) approach to jacket potatoes. In a recipe for her fancy baked spuds, it turns out that the baking queen adds an extra step after the tatties have cooked. After opening up the potatoes to mash their centres ahead of receiving toppings, the former GBBO star adds butter (standard) and… milk (less usual, we feel). We’re not saying it doesn’t make sense “Slice each potato in half and scoop out the soft potato into a bowl,” her recipe reads. Then, “Add the milk and butter and mash with a fork. Stir in the topping of your choice… season and mix to combine.” I mean, loads of us do it with mash. I’d just never heard of doing it with baked potatoes before ― but of course, it’s the same principle, so maybe we shouldn’t be so alarmed. After all, we …
