2022’s Emmy Awards in Los Angeles, California celebrated the year’s best television shows and performances—but on the red carpet beforehand, the paparazzi were cheering on something a tad different: A-listers in their finest formalwear. Sticking to tradition, many stars in attendance adhered to the event’s signature glamorous feel. The designer dresses were heavy on the sequins, shining brighter than a disco ball in Studio 54.
Given the night’s best gowns went all in on sequins and beads, many of the silhouettes were simple and streamlined as a result. Squid Game star Hoyeon Jung’s sequin patchwork, for instance, was done on a no-fuss slip dress; Amanda Seyfried’s lilac sequins came via Armani Privé’s strapless column dress, with a sheer (and barely-there) accent of tulle at the bust. Both allowed for the frocks’ delicious texture to shine. Equally, Lily James’s slinky Versace chainmail dress, and Christina Ricci’s bedazzled Fendi Couture slip dress, were formfitting—and all about accentuating the shape.
It wasn’t all razzle-dazzle, though. A few celebrities opted for more of a pared-back elegance. Zendaya, in custom Valentino, embraced Old Hollywood with her strapless, full-skirted gowns. It’s a nod to an archival Valentino design from its fall-winter 1987 collection. The White Lotus’s Alexandra Daddario also stood out in a sheer, one-shoulder tulle gown from Dior Haute Couture, finished with sublime beadwork.
There were even a few risks tonight, too—namely Julia Garner’s embroidered Gucci dress with a cutout at the belly button, and Jasmin Savoy Brown in Christopher Kane’s latex dress with cutouts at the hips and bust. Skin is clearly in!

Whether it’s a rare ’80s Jean Paul Gaultier piece or a ’90s Chanel coat in bubblegum pink, it’s no secret that Rihanna is a vintage obsessive. That certainly applies to her vast handbag collection, which is packed full of rare gems that only the keenest of eyes will have picked up on.
Case in point: the megastar stepped out with a Tom Ford-era Gucci bag from spring/summer 1996 earlier this month, which was sourced from archivist Lab2022 and covered in the designer’s iconic python print. It’s not the first time RiRi has sported Tom Ford’s Gucci designs either, with her ’90s velvet monogrammed bag being a wardrobe staple.

Vintage Dior is another favorite. Rihanna has several of the French fashion house’s iconic saddle bags in her collection, including one in camo print that she sported with a maternity crop top earlier this year, as well as a Noughties tie-dye version. Rather than just sticking to classic styles in easy-to-match neutrals, the singer gravitates towards rare collectors’ items, such as the brand’s bowling bag, again in a camo print, dating back to the early 2000s.
The same can be said for Rihanna’s growing assortment of vintage Fendi bags, too. In March, the beauty mogul added the brand’s rare Squirrel Spy bag in velvet to her collection, which also includes the iconic Croissant shape, sourced from Vintage By Misty. She’s also been spotted with a number of limited-edition Louis Vuitton bags, such as the LV X Stephen Sprouse Pochette bag, as well as the brand’s 1998 soccer ball-shaped purse created to commemorate the World Cup.

Ensuring she’s got all bases covered, RiRi owns a number of vintage Chanel accessories too, including a tangerine terry-cloth camera bag dating to the ’90s, as well as a rare velvet quilted box bag that she was first spotted with back in 2012.

It just goes to show, you don’t have to stick to the classics to build an impressive vintage bag collection. Keep an eye out also for the rarer, collectable pieces that show off your knowledge of fashion history, and – like Rihanna – make you stand out from the pack.

Blake Lively’s birthday isn’t for nine more days, but she’s gonna celebrate whenever she wants to.
The actor shared photos from an early birthday celebration at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, on August 15, alongside her older sister Robin Lively. The Age of Adeline star turns 35 on August 25.
“Find me a happier place on earth to start my birthday celebrations early,” Blake captioned the Instagram carousel of Disney pics. “I’ll wait.”

The Lively sisters took in all the must-see Disney sights, apparently even making their way to Disneyland’s park next door, California Adventure Park. Ever generous, Blake obliged fans including Princess Jasmine, Jessie from Toy Story 2, and a few ungrateful Stormtroopers with photos.
“Imagine being a Disney princess and having to stay in character when the beautiful perfect Blake Lively stands next to you for a picture,” mused one of Lively’s followers in her comments section. “I love the type of millennial that you are that actually uses the filters that come on the Instagram app,” added another with the millennial giveaway: the cry-laughing emoji.

Lively kept her filters turned up and her look low-key, opting for a simple, long-sleeve black shirtdress that she styled with black sneakers and white ankle socks. She wore her hair in her natural waves, and opted for a no-makeup makeup look.
It’s hard to beat a Disney birthday, but Lively still has time to outdo herself. Her sister Robin commented, “Happy birthday month sweet sister,” on the post, leading us to believe that the Lively-Reynolds family goes hard for a full 30 days (or in her case, 31). Your move, Ryan Reynolds.

When you think of a cool shoe, do you think of a ballet flat pump? We didn’t think so.  Low-heeled pumps are reserved for octogenarians going to church or lunch on Madison Avenue. But allow Lindsay Lohan to change your mind! The actor was spotted in New York this week giving the grandma shoe a brand new feel.
On two separate occasions this week, Lohan was spotted wearing Salvatore Ferragamo’s black Viva pumps, which retail for $850 (AED 3,122) and have a large bow on the toe. They’re a decidedly prim-and-proper shoe, but Lohan made them feel a little more modern and casual. For a Broadway outing this past weekend, she first wore them with a white summer dress complete with fringe and laser-cut detailing, finishing off the ensemble with a luxe Hermès bag (in its signature orange hue). Yesterday, she then paired them with a black lace mini dress for a more monochromatic feel, as well as black shades and a cream Hermès bag.

Lohan isn’t the only star to make them feel fresh. A few years ago, Zoe Kravitz put a cool twist on a pointy kitten heels when she styled them with neon green pants; More recently, Chloë Sevigny embraced the low-heel pump via Margiela’s Tabi shoes, their split-toe detail making it feel instantly hip and downtown-worthy. So, it’s official: Don’t discount the low heel. They’re a versatile piece that can be paired with everything from dresses to jeans. And they’re way more comfy than hobbling around in stilettos!

Amal Clooney told Vogue in 2018 that being with her husband George “felt like the most natural thing in the world… Before that experience, I always hoped there could be love that was overwhelming and didn’t require any weighing or decision-making,” she said.
The couple met in the summer of 2013 after Amal visited George’s residence in Lake Como with a mutual friend. The Hollywood actor’s agent had reportedly told the actor that they had “met this woman who’s coming to your house who you’re gonna marry”, as George revealed to David Letterman years later.
In April 2014, he proposed to Amal with a seven-carat emerald-cut diamond ring. The pair hosted a star-studded wedding celebration in Venice on September 27 the same year, followed by a party in the UK, held by Amal’s parents, in October.
For their wedding at the Aman Grand Canal Hotel, Amal wore a breathtaking lace gown designed by Oscar de la Renta. “George and I wanted a wedding that was romantic, and elegant and I can’t imagine anyone more able than Oscar to capture this mood in a dress,” she told Vogue of her exquisite bridal look.
They made their first appearance as Mr and Mrs Clooney at the Golden Globes in January 2015, for which Amal wore a floor-sweeping black dress and white opera gloves by Dior. On the night, George gushed about his new wife as he accepted the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement. “Amal, whatever alchemy it is that brought us together, I couldn’t be more proud to be your husband,” he said. In June 2017, the couple welcomed twins, Ella and Alexander.
They’ve attended countless movie premieres, film festivals and charity galas, but the Clooneys were the best-dressed guests at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding. Amal looked radiant in a mustard-yellow look by Stella McCartney and George was by her side in a grey suit.

Hot pink has dominated the season – thank you, Pierpaolo Piccioli – but Gigi Hadid is making a case for another scene-stealing color. At the British Vogue x Self-Portrait summer party, Gigi, in a high-shine lime-green dress, played host with editor-in-chief Edward Enninful and Self-Portrait founder and creative director Han Chong.
The supermodel joined guests at Chiltern Firehouse wearing said zingy Self-Portrait dress, metallic heels and Self-Portrait’s new-season Bow bag – Han’s first-ever bag design, which he added to his accessories line-up earlier this year.

Gigi Hadid wore her bright blonde hair in a bun, with strands framing her face. Beauty-wise, she kept things simple, and went for a light blush-colored eye, a slight feline flick and a nude lip. She also sported a poppy blue manicure to offset the vibrant hue of her dress.

There were several famous faces in attendance. Celeste, Mj Rodriguez, designers Harris Reed and Chet Lo, Little Simz, Kai-Isaiah Jamal and Bimini Bon-Boulash partied at Chiltern, while Sabrina Elba, Bukky Bakray and models Aweng Chuol, Devon Ross and Ella Richards were also dressed by Self-Portrait.

It goes without saying that there is a lot more to Amal Clooney than her enviable wardrobe and A-list husband, George (you might have heard of him). With an Oxford University degree and a 20-year career as a human rights lawyer, Amal has well and truly proved herself to be a force to be reckoned with.
But, as we all know, being a powerful and intelligent woman and possessing great style are by no means mutually exclusive, and let’s just say that we can spot a fellow fashion lover when we see one. Mrs Clooney? She has very much perfected the art of polished dressing.
Whether she’s heading to dinner or addressing a packed room at the United Nations, stepping onto a boat at Lake Como or dipping into a taxi, we have pored over Amal Clooney’s immaculate tailoring and pitch-perfect party looks over the years, while marveling at her ability to balance professionalism and style.
But don’t just take our word for it – in celebration of all things Amal, we rounded up the 10 style moments that will forever mark this woman out as an icon, in every sense of the word—along with picks from Taller Marmo, Safiyaa, and others that will help you recreate her best looks.

Let’s face it, summer is here. For some people, it’s time to break out the crop tops and daisy dukes. Others, such as Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Dakota Johnson, Gigi Hadid and Emily Ratajkowski, prefer keeping things sharp in season-appropriate suiting.
The possibilities are endless when it comes to tailoring for the warmer months, from figure-hugging skirts and matching jackets to louche velvets set to wear with a shirt and tie for more formal occasions.
Below, see how the It-girls are wearing suits this summer.
1. The femme fatale skirt suit
Photo: Getty
Opt for a skin-tight midi skirt suit that hugs the body in all the right places. Whether you choose joy-inducing Self Portrait gingham or vintage designer creations – like Kendall Jenner’s Givenchy autumn/winter 2007 haute couture set – make sure it delivers an hourglass silhouette.
2. The sheer suit
Photo: Getty
Naked dresses are all the rage this year, thanks, in part, to the Met Gala red carpet. But have you considered the naked suit as another option? The sheer set, which can be dressed up or down according to the occasion, strikes the ideal mix between sensual and sophisticated. See Gigi Hadid’s Dion Lee birthday look for reference.
3. The knitted set
Photo: Getty
Knitwear sets for the summer? Absolutely. But ensure they are breezy and lightweight, as well as navel-baring, for good measure. Make like EmRata and wear yours with #NormCore trainers for an optimum pared-back aesthetic.
4. Le Smoking suits
Photo: Getty
Thanks to Yves Saint Laurent in 1966, the Le Smoking tuxedo suit is a wardrobe mainstay for any stylish woman today. For a masculine twist, wear yours with a crisp white shirt and tie, like Dakota.
5. The safari suit
Photo: Getty
The safari suit combines femininity and functionality in the most ideal way. In order to emphasize your form, get a linen version that is suitable for summer holidays and make sure it’s cinched at the waist, like Hailey’s.

Barrister and human rights activist Amal Clooney has mastered corporate dressing in her own way, but lately, her style has been about all-out glamour. Back in April, she embraced spring’s sensual mood in a sparkly top, baggy jeans and a blazer, offering a grown-up alternative to the crystal-choked looks seen on recent runways.
Sexy is clearly still on the agenda for Amal. Over the weekend, she was photographed with her husband George Clooney in Lake Como wearing a sequined minidress by Ermanno Scervino. The 44-year-old’s head-turning mini was in a mermaid-esque shade of mint green, with flourishes of lace on the hemline and bodice. The neckline gave the appearance of a strapless dress, but featured thin spaghetti straps for support.
Though Amal has a penchant for scene-stealing florals – see: the caped Richard Quinn look she wore to the Met Gala in 2018 and the column gown she wore to the Prince’s Trust Awards in May this year – she’s a sucker for sequins, too. London-based brand 16Arlington supplied Amal with an ethereal feather-kissed gown last autumn, which she wore to attend the premiere of The Tender Bar at the BFI London Film Festival.
