CNN  —  Canadian model Winnie Harlow has announced her engagement to NBA star Kyle Kuzma in a post on Instagram. “To eternity,” wrote Harlow in the post, published Tuesday, alongside the hashtag “#shesaidyes.” Harlow published a series of photos showing the happy couple on a beach, as well as a video in which she held her engagement ring aloft while fireworks exploded overhead. Harlow is one of the most recognizable faces in fashion and the founder of the Cay Skin skincare brand, which also posted about her engagement on social media. “Are you kiddddddingggg me… Congratulations to our queen and…

Editor’s Note: Featuring the good, the bad and the ugly, ‘Look of the Week’ is a regular series dedicated to unpacking the most talked about outfit of the last seven days. CNN  —  In a time of rising living costs, when celebrities are often lambasted for being out of touch with reality, it seems one A-lister has finally succeeded in relating to the everyman. On Sunday night, Emma Stone helped thousands of sneaky cinema snackers feel seen in a red halterneck dress that housed two pockets filled to the brim with medium-sized portions of popcorn. The moment of unity came…

London CNN  —  Considered the biggest night in the UK film industry, the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs) on Sunday afternoon was a welcome distraction from a dreary climate that extended beyond the country’s weather. (Alongside one of the gloomiest winters on record, the UK has faced a challenging social and political landscape under a new Labour government.) The 78th edition of the awards, which took place at London’s Southbank Centre, was hosted by Scottish actor and “Doctor Who” lead David Tennant and featured musical performances from 1990s boy band Take That and “Wicked” star Jeff Goldblum. Noticeably absent was…

CNN  —  Twenty-four years since actor Renée Zellweger first appeared in the film adaptation of Helen Fielding’s literary bestseller “Bridget Jones’s Diary,” she’s back for her fourth turn as an endearing, klutzy character looking for love. Although this time, in “Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy,” she’s no longer a carefree young woman, but a widow in her 50s, with two kids. Jones’s personal style — a quirky, at times ill-fitting wardrobe of short skirts, cleavage-revealing tops, mumsy cardigans, granny pants and long scarves — helped cement her character into an unforgettable part of noughties pop culture history. Though, this…

Editor’s Note: Featuring the good, the bad and the ugly, ‘Look of the Week’ is a regular series dedicated to unpacking the most talked about outfit of the last seven days. CNN  —  This year’s Super Bowl halftime show was hardly a fashion extravaganza, with headliner Kendrick Lamar keeping things simple in a backwards cap and motorbike-style varsity jacket, which he kept on throughout. And without the costume-change roulette we’ve come to expect of halftime shows, the internet fixated on one item in particular: his jeans. While not quite the bell-bottoms of decades past (the 1970s and the 2000s, specifically),…

New York CNN  —  What is the state of American fashion right now? It’s a question at least partly answered by New York Fashion Week, which concludes Tuesday, where brands including Calvin Klein and Thom Browne are showing their latest collections in a season marked by major debuts, returns and decisive shake-ups for American designers. Amid a wider industry reshuffling, several major labels and cult mainstays — including Proenza Schouler, Area and Helmut Lang — are absent from the schedule following the departure of their creative directors. Some heritage brands like Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren skipped the season entirely,…

CNN  —  The Grammy Awards are renowned for outlandish fashion. But on a night of tributes to first responders and victims of LA’s recent wildfires, many guests struck a comparatively restrained note at the Crypto.com arena on Sunday. The all-black trend seen at recent award ceremonies was embraced by everyone from Miley Cyrus (in a cut-out leather Saint Laurent dress) to Olivia Rodrigo (in a slinky halter neck Versace number). Lady Gaga set a somber tone in a dramatic long-sleeved ball gown by Vivienne Westwood, though some attendees took a more light-hearted approach, whether it was J Balvin’s long silk…

CNN  —  Postponed twice due to the wildfires that devastated LA last month, the Critics Choice Awards finally got underway in LA on Friday evening. Held at Santa Monica’s Barker Hangar, just a few miles from the fire-ravaged Pacific Palisades neighborhood, this year’s ceremony occupied an unusual Friday evening slot. The red carpet was also an atypical affair, with organizers earlier announcing the cancelation of the customary televised pre-awards live show. Attendees showed up in style, nonetheless. As at last weekend’s Grammys, there were plenty of demure, dark-colored gowns and restrained styling choices. Cynthia Erivo (in a shiny leather Armani…

Editor’s Note: This article was originally published by The Business of Fashion, an editorial partner of CNN Style. CNN  —  If you’ve recently started running, the hardest part may have been deciding what kit to buy. Options for running apparel are so plentiful that a cottage industry of online directories, Instagram mood boards and sub-Reddits have sprung up to help would-be joggers and marathoners make sense of it all. Performance sneakers boasting carbon plates (a technical innovation in the shoe’s mid-sole designed to help energy return to the runner) or lightweight materials now come with sneakerhead-coded collaborations and colorways that sell…

London CNN  —  Anna Wintour is rarely seen without her shades. But for a special occasion, she was prepared to break with tradition. The legendary Vogue editor-in-chief was presented with the Order of the Companions of Honour by King Charles III at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday. She was appointed to the order in the King’s 2023 birthday honors for her services to fashion, as well as her philanthropic work fundraising for causes like HIV/AIDs research and the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute. The honor is granted to those who have made a major contribution to the arts, science, medicine…
