The Screen Actors Guild Awards returned on Sunday evening, complete with a new name — and, for the first time ever, a thematic dress code. Now known as the Actor Awards, the annual ceremony’s 32nd edition sent attendees very specific sartorial instructions: “Reimagining Hollywood Glamour From the ’20s and ‘30s.” Some guests took the guidance more literally than others; many appeared to disregard the theme entirely. But there were, nonetheless, plenty of fringes, beaded embellishments and allusions to the jazz age on the red carpet at LA’s Shrine Auditorium. Chase Infiniti, the breakout star of Oscar favorite “One Battle After…

Milan, Italy —  There comes a time during fashion week, as you look at a throng of photographers fighting to capture photos of someone very thin wearing a very dated outfit, or watch Priscilla Chan — alongside her husband, Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg — stride into the Prada show wearing the €11,500 ($13,000 and change) Prada shearling coat with the blonde collar you fantasized about owning if you one day became a multimillionaire in some fabulously ethical way, when you ask yourself: who is all this for? Fashion has never been more omnipresent or less available. It has made itself as…

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. In front of the Louvre Pyramid, Eileen Gu stepped out this week wearing a set of diaphanous wings — a fitting ensemble for an Olympic athlete whose sport sends her airborne. Gu attended the museum’s second annual fundraiser, Le Grand Dîner du Louvre, timed to Paris Fashion Week, trading out her ski suit for couture less than two weeks after taking home three medals at the 2026 Winter Games.…

Paris —  “Stop this world, let me off,” the blues musician Mose Allison once crooned – a relatable sentiment when war has broken out, inequality is top of mind and a general darkness hovers over almost all things. Allison never intoned just which stop he’d like to get off on – but one imagines that Paris Fashion Week, where many of the shows this past week have been wackadoo with lovely, at times ditzy and always customer-pleasing prettiness, would make for a…

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. If Taylor Swift’s record-breaking engagement announcement is any indication, Polymarket bets, group chats and neighborhood wagers are undoubtedly sprouting up around the world to guess what she might wear for her upcoming wedding to Travis Kelce. But Kelce is no fashion slouch himself. A former GQ cover star, the Kansas City Chiefs player has helped spread the tunnel fit phenomenon with his vintage-inflected suits and goofy statement print pieces…

EDITOR’S NOTE:  CNN Style is one of the official media partners of Paris Fashion Week. See all coverage here. Paris —  At the Paris fashion shows that wrapped this week, there were luxuriously plain black dresses and coats of the kind favored by Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, models strutting down runways with theatrical flourishes, and in some cases, no cellphones in sight. Gen-X icons, including actress Chloe Sevigny and supermodel Kristen McMenamy, walked the runway at Miu Miu — with a special appearance by star of the 1990s hit show “X-Files,” Gillian Anderson. This is Paris Fashion Week circa 1998 — in…

When Glenn Martens became the creative director of Paris-based fashion house Maison Margiela in January 2025, he expected never to show his face again. After all, the founder of the brand, Martin Margiela, has rarely been seen. Ever. Anonymity was key to the Belgian’s conception of making clothes: rather than big, corporate, and pop, he saw fashion as small, artisanal, elusive. He covered models’ faces with masks and dressed his workers in white lab coats. In a famous portrait from 2001, captured by Annie Leibowitz for Vogue, the entire staff pose cross-armed in their little white coats, with a chair…

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. This week, fashion editors, influencers and those generally in the business of expensive clothes went green with envy at the sight of Harry Styles. Not just for the reasons one might expect (dashing good looks, fame and fortune) but because he was carrying a maxi leopard print Chanel flap bag designed by the French luxury house’s newish artistic director of fashion, Matthieu Blazy. It was a loud and proud…

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. Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. So goes the Victorian-era English rhyme that has long served as a sartorial checklist for bridal fortunes. With rumors swirling around her own nuptials to Tom Holland, and a promotional tour for her wedding-centered new movie “The Drama” underway, it’s three down and one to go for Zendaya. At the black comedy’s LA premiere last Tuesday, the star opted for something…

Fashion has long danced alongside the medium of art, with designers taking inspiration from the work of history’s great artists. With its technical prowess and avant-garde ambitions, many would argue that fashion belongs on the same plane as painting or sculpture. A monumental new show at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) celebrates the connection between the two disciplines in a more urgent way. “Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art” — which opens Saturday, March 28 —presents the groundbreaking work of the late Italian designer Elsa Schiaparelli as embodying the cultural gravity of art. Can the act of wearing a bold or…
