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 spring, it’s all about tradwife with a twist. For a recording of the “Mark and Kelly Show” in New York on Wednesday, Elle Fanning wore a girlish iridescent tutu and a buttery yellow polo shirt. From the waist down, she was dressed in her shimmering Sunday best. From the waist up, the look was slouchy and boy-ish — like an off-duty tennis player, or someone’s golf-loving father. The…

Milan, Italy —  Backstage at the runway debut of the new new Gucci – the third rebrand that the luxury titan has undergone since Alessandro Michele left in 2022 – designer Demna was feeling the amore. “I hope I made you feel Gucci today,” he said. “The energy, the passion, the fun, the sexy…. I feel like I’m falling in love with this feeling I cannot really understand.” Before a single look appeared on the runway, Demna had already generated big feelings with a series of AI-generated images shared to Gucci’s Instagram page earlier this week. Alongside real pictures of Sophia…

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…
