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  —  Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet renewed their status as one of Hollywood’s most discussed couples after an affectionate appearance at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday. It was Jenner’s second time at the ceremony supporting Chalamet, who was nominated for Best Actor in Musical or Comedy for his turn as Bob Dylan in “A Complete Unknown.” Last year, the couple made a somewhat lowkey official debut, Chalamet…

Milan CNN  —  Italian designer Rosita Missoni, co-founder of the eponymous fashion house known for its bright and patterned styles, died on Wednesday at the age of 93, a company official said on Thursday. She had launched the business in 1953 with her husband Ottavio Missoni, developing a brand which became popular for its colorful knitwear featuring geometric patterns and stripes, including the signature zigzag motif known as fiammato. Born into a family of textile artisans close to the northern Italian town of Varese, Rosita studied modern languages. On a trip to London in 1948 to improve her English, she…

From the surprising resurrection of the Gen Z-maligned skinny jean to an uptick in sophisticated sleepwear, here are…

CNN  —  Jocelyn Wildenstein, the Swiss-born socialite famous for the surgery-enhanced feline features that earned her nicknames in the American press like “Catwoman” and the “Bride of Wildenstein,” has died. Her partner Lloyd Klein told AFP she died of a pulmonary embolism in Paris. Wildenstein, who sometimes spelled her name “Jocelyne,” was a staple of New York tabloids for much of her adult life, due to her tempestuous love life, drastically changing appearance and the hefty payout she received in her divorce from an art world bigwig (though she eventually claimed she’d gone bankrupt, having depleted her billions). Wildenstein often…

CNN  —  If fashion is a language, Arianne Phillips, costume designer on James Mangold’s latest film “A Complete Unknown,” is a polyglot. In 2005, she mastered the visual lexicon of Johnny Cash’s style for Mangold’s “Walk the Line,” dressing the Rockabilly legend in Western work shirts and all-black stagewear. For 2019’s “Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood,” Phillips perused Sharon Tate’s real wardrobe to outfit Margot Robbie in the same snakeskin trench coat and yellow hot pants that the actor and model wore before her harrowing death in 1969. But for the last five years, Phillips has been studying Bob…

Editor’s Note: Examining clothes through the ages, Dress Codes is a new series investigating how the rules of fashion have influenced different cultural arenas — and your closet. CNN  —  Red velvet suit, white fur trim, tall black boots, cozy (if not indulgent) pom-pom hat. Santa Claus’ uniform may have some variations, from Tim Allen’s off-duty outfits in “The Santa Clause” as he slowly transforms into the legendary gift-giver, to The Plastics’ spaghetti-strap-dress versions in “Mean Girls,” but his signature look is ingrained in pop culture and popular imagination older than anyone living today. His dress codes ensure uniformity across…

CNN  —  Each week of 2024, CNN Style has delved into the standout or most talked-about celebrity fashion moment of the last seven days, from Heidi Klum’s show-stopping E.T. Halloween costume to the internet-breaking Harris-Walz camo caps released on the campaign trail. Not all ensembles were enviable, of course.

CNN  —  When Paul Mescal shot to fame in the BBC’s adaptation of Sally Rooney’s novel “Normal People” in 2020, the silver necklace that he wore in the show became an instant object of desire. Since then, the Irish actor has emerged as a global heartthrob and style icon. Now, fans have the chance to get closer to the man himself, as Mescal has decided to sell some of his personal belongings for charity. The star of “Gladiator II” is selling off a host of items that he wore during the international promotional tour for the Ridley Scott movie on…

CNN  —  “I feel you like a serpent crawling inside my body,” whimpers Ellen, played by Lily-Rose Depp — the tortured object of Count Orlok’s affection. In director Robert Eggers’ latest film, “Nosferatu,” the year is 1838, and the ancient Transylvanian vampire has been tainting Ellen’s dreams with psychosexual nightmares since she was a child. The original “Nosferatu” — a silent 1922 horror film directed by F. W. Murnau, inspired by Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel “Dracula” — casts Ellen as an unfortunate and somewhat random victim of the Count. Eggers’ version, to be released on Christmas Day in the US,…

CNN  —  Nicole Kidman has officially clocked into the press tour for her latest film, “Babygirl,” and she’s dressed for business. On Monday evening, the actor — who plays a high-powered executive in Halina Reijn’s movie, out Christmas Day in the US — arrived at the Late Show with Stephen Colbert in a fitted black pinstriped suit with a double-breasted blazer. After the taping, Kidman furthered her case for employee of the month by switching out her sheer blouse for an official “Babygirl” T-shirt from A24’s merchandise store. But Kidman isn’t the only A-lister to embrace the humble stripe. This…
