Facebook Tweet Email Link 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. Fashion is fickle, and not many people can hold their own against the changing tide of trends. But yesterday Jennifer Aniston, while on her way to appear on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” in New York, proved once again she sits in that exclusive crowd. Promoting the latest season of the US drama series “The Morning Show,” Aniston stepped out in a black halter-neck…

Facebook Tweet Email Link New York  —  New York has been buzzing with star power as September kicked off with the US Open and MTV’s Video Music Awards, segueing neatly into New York Fashion Week, the first city to kick off fashion month. Before the week officially began with Michael Kors on Thursday morning, Kristin Davis, Anna Sawai and Alexandra Daddario were seen arriving at Dior’s new four-story flagship to celebrate its opening, while Kirsten Dunst, Billy Murray and Gracie Abrams fêted filmmaker Sofia Coppola over an intimate dinner as she launched a new book with Chanel. Off-schedule, Ralph Lauren…

Facebook Tweet Email Link London  —  Edward Enninful’s farewell cover for the March 2024 issue of British Vogue, marking the end of his six-year tenure as editor-in-chief, featured 40 very famous women: Jane Fonda, Oprah Winfrey, Serena Williams, Cindy Crawford, Victoria Beckham, Naomi Campbell — the list went on and on. Getting that crowd of Hollywood actors, supermodels, fashion designers and athletes in the same room for a group photo was a feat of complex calendar logistics requiring diplomacy and considerable industry sway. Few editors could have pulled it off. But few editors could boast the career he’d had up…

Facebook Tweet Email Link One month before this WNBA season was set to start, the league made an unconventional announcement: Coach, the American fashion house, would become the “official handbag partner” of the WNBA. The multiyear partnership, a first for both the brand and the league, cemented the already blooming relationship between the players and fashion. More and more of the WNBA’s elite have branded themselves as fashion savants, thanks to the growing influence of social media and the popularity of “tunnel fits” — the “tunnel” being the walkway into the stadium that has become a catwalk for basketball athletes.…

Facebook Tweet Email Link The best way to sneak into a fashion show is to be confident and friendly — at least according to Dan Bassini, who has been photographing New York Fashion Week for almost a decade, without being on the guest lists. You might catch the New Jersey-based photographer on the street taking celebrity portraits of the likes of Heidi Klum, Doja Cat or Dove Cameron, but he also makes his way inside shows, snapping front-row pictures despite being unaccredited — which is how this writer met him, at an Elena Velez runway last year. Once, he even…

Facebook Tweet Email Link The MTV Video Music Awards have a rich history of outlandish — and, at times, outright bizarre — fashion. Even without Lady Gaga’s meat dress or Britney Spears’ python, the annual ceremony is guaranteed to deliver over-the-top styling, playful accessories and tributes to icons of VMAs past. Sunday night was no exception. From underwear-baring sheer gowns to throwbacks from the fashion archives, the event’s red carpet was, this year, fun and risqué in equal measure. Here are some of the most memorable looks from New York’s UBS Arena. Wearing headphones to block out the red-carpet din…

Facebook Tweet Email Link Giorgio Armani, the visionary Italian designer who redefined modern elegance and tailoring on the world’s stage, became a mainstay at red carpets and award shows after launching his eponymous brand in 1975. But despite his global dominance, Armani — who died at age 91 on September 4 — will be honored for the last time in a private funeral ceremony away from the spotlight and near his birthplace. Armani was born in 1934, in the town of Piacenza, northern Italy. His intimate funeral will take place in Rivalta, a small village nearby. In preparation for the…

Anna Wintour appointed Chloe Malle as Vogue US’ head of editorial content, after months of speculation following Wintour’s announcement in June that she would be stepping down as editor-in-chief. Malle has been at Conde Nast since 2011, becoming editor of vogue.com in 2023.

Facebook Tweet Email Link Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani has died at the age of 91, the Armani Group announced on Thursday. The designer is credited over his decades of practice with curating a quintessentially Italian aesthetic in his clothes, as well as taking Hollywood’s red carpets to new heights. “Il Signor Armani, as he was always respectfully and admiringly called by employees and collaborators, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his loved ones,” the Armani Group said in a statement, describing the founder as “a tireless driving force.” “In this company, we have always felt like part of a family,”…

Messages celebrating the designer’s life and legacy also poured in from across politics, entertainment and pop culture — including from celebrity friends, like Julia Roberts and Leonardo DiCaprio, who have worn his creations on catwalks or red carpets.
