The same style of sleepwear that was once strictly relegated to bedrooms and boudoirs has now become the summer dress of the year. Reformation’s Holly Sleep Dress, a floaty mini dress with a scrunched 1950s-style neckline with scalloped edges, was inspired by “vintage nightgowns that you can probably get away with wearing out and about,” the brand’s website read. Similarly, fellow cool-girl label Damson Madder noted that its Elspeth Nightdress, which features dainty floral embroidery and a broderie hemline, is “effortlessly wearable from night to day.”…

Olympics Fashion and beauty Harry Styles People in entertainment See all topics Facebook Tweet Email Link They were once worn by athletes to win Olympic track races in the 1970s.

Facebook Tweet Email Link When Prada sent several pairs of brown sandals with distinctive toe rings and intricate stitching down its menswear runway in Milan last month, observers were quick to point out their resemblance to a centuries-old piece of Indian heritage. The storied Italian fashion house may have presented the shoes as a new luxury creation, but many in India simply saw a pair of Kolhapuri chappals — traditional hand-crafted sandals with roots stretching back to the 12th or 13th century. Prada’s initial failure to acknowledge the inspiration behind the shoes, which had earlier been described by the brand…

London CNN  —  From bondage styles to safety pinned dresses, daring party frocks are widely considered to be the key protagonists of Gianni Versace’s sartorial legacy. But the late Italian fashion designer was also responsible for some of the most majestic silk shirts of the 1990s, and his close friend Elton John owned one in every print. “They’re just works of art,” shared the acclaimed singer-songwriter in a promotional video for auction house Christie’s last year, characterizing his deep affection for Versace’s patterns. “I never wore half of them, I just wanted to hang them.

CNN  —  Even if you have never been to Los Angeles, you may still harbor a subconscious awareness of Studio City Farmers Market. There, amongst the 85 organic produce vendors, did paparazzi first snap Jeremy Allen White back in 2023 straining against the weight of freshly-cut flowers the size of his torso — a sight that has since become a viral sensation. So memorable is that sighting of White that it was even raised during a recent appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” “You’re always carrying giant bouquets of flowers everywhere you are, I love it.

CNN  —  During the Fall-Winter 2025 haute couture shows in Paris, Morticia Addams — the eerie and elegant matriarch from “The Addams Family” movie franchise — can be seen slinking around the cobblestoned streets of the French capital. Tall, ghostly pale, and with long jet-black hair cascading down her back, this Addams could pass, at a quick glance, for the actor Anjelica Huston, who played Addams in the 1990s films.
