Only Lauryn Hill Could Make a Big Tulle Skirt and Cowboy Hat Work Together

Lauryn Hill’s tour for the 20th anniversary of her debut solo album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, has proven to be a nonstop parade of colorful looks. She wore a pastel patterned Marc Jacobs ensemble (turban included) to her show at Harlem’s Apollo Theater a few months back, and just the other weekend she layered two Balenciaga pieces—a canary yellow blouse and a wraparound floral dress—underneath a massive tulle skirt. And lest you think that her admiration for the Demna Gvasalia–helmed brand needs to be made any more explicit, she added a surprisingly casual finishing touch with a hot-pink baseball cap with the label’s name printed in black font.

Hill’s latest look once again adds an unexpected twist to an otherwise girlish white tulle skirt. Performing at the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago over the weekend, the singer-songwriter wore a black cowboy hat and layered a boxy striped polo shirt atop the voluminous garment. Even when Hill repeats an element of an outfit, she makes it look completely fresh—and who else could make tulle skirt look fit for the frontier?

Victoria’s Secret Angel Martha Hunt Breaks Down Her Summer Style Strategy

When it comes to clothes, Martha Hunt doesn’t do complicated. Though she's regularly seen on the runway in all things glitzy and pink thanks to her status as a Victoria’s Secret Angel, Hunt prefers to keep her off-duty look comparatively pared-down. “My fashion strategy is to keep it simple,” shared Hunt via email from Los Angeles. “Not in a basic way, but by showing how simplicity can be beautiful and a statement in itself.” With that mission and a designer-filled wardrobe that steers clear of the usual suspects, she has been on a roll as of late. Whether wearing Thom Browne on the red carpet at the CFDA Awards last week, stepping out in slinky Jacquemus for Russell James’ book launch back in May, or keeping things unexpected with forays into vibrant Sies Marjan during fashion month, she doesn’t adhere to any of the model off-duty formulas.

Hunt's style icons range from classics like Brigitte Bardot to modern cool girls like Zoe Kravitz. “As cliché as it may be, I would definitely raid Kate Moss’s closet it I could,” adds Hunt. The North Carolina native takes a page from classic European beauties when it comes time for summer. “I think of Jane Birkin and a cool French girl on the Riviera," she says. "I like to try to dress very effortlessly sexy with really nice denim and a lacy bra poking out of my tank top. Lately I’ve been really into wearing sleepwear as outerwear, which is really great for flying—Victoria’s Secret has some really cute matching sets with fun prints.”

Hunt credits her years of modeling with giving her an insider’s perspective on dressing creatively. “My work has definitely impacted how I want to present myself day to day,” she says. “I’ve become more interested in fashion throughout the years because I’ve become inspired from what I see on set.” Her fellow angels have also played a role in her development. “[They’ve] led by example,” says Hunt. “In terms of how they’ve led their lives and worked so hard while taking such great care of themselves and having successful careers. The best advice I’ve received has probably been from Lily Aldridge, who has been a mentor to me. She’s always been there to support me; I can ask her questions about anything. It’s so important to have these girls to look up to and to aspire to be like.”

Hunt is currently exploring her bohemian side together with her stylist Emma Jade Morrison: floral-print dresses by Proenza Schouler, flowing blouses from Altuzarra, and a few pieces of vintage Ossie Clark. But even though her outfits are often displayed on Instagram, her closet still contains still contains a few surprises. “[I have] my whole box dedicated to Burning Man. It’s still very dusty,” she says. “I’ll never be able to get rid of all that dust!”

Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert Serve Up the Cutest Couple Sneaker Moment

When a couple loves fashion it shows. And Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert are a perfect example. Though they can certainly hold their own in the fashion department, they take things to the next level with their distinctive streetwear and designer-filled wardrobes as a duo, continuously finding inventive ways to coordinate. Taylor took to Instagram earlier today to share a behind-the-scenes snapshot herself and Shumpert in matching Balenciaga sneakers. With Taylor opting for the neon colorway, the same shade of green as the shirt beneath her sweats, and Shumpert selecting the all-white version, they were a study in his-and-hers sneakerhead style.

On social media the couple is constantly experimenting with their style—the hashtag #TheShumps is a testament to that—but they’re at their best when they settle on a singular look. Whether it’s chilling at home in identical Fear of God track pants, or sporting couples Kith front row during Fashion Week, they’ve made an art out of matching. Still, their Balenciaga moment is maybe their best yet, thanks to Shumpert doing the chivalrous thing and fixing his wife’s shoes. Captioning the gesture with “when dad checks out mom’s steezzzzzz,” it’s clear Taylor was impressed. If finding someone who ups your sneaker game isn’t true love, then what is?

Frances Bean Cobain Brings Wearable Art to the Red Carpet

Jeremy Scott never shies away from a reference. His Pre-Fall womenswear collection for Moschino was filled with the work of Carlo Mollino, the Italian architect and photographer whose Polaroids made their way onto Scott’s dresses and overcoats. Wearable art can make for exciting fashion, and on the back of Frances Bean Cobain, Scott’s unique creations came to life. Stepping out last night at the Daily Front Row’s Fashion Awards in Los Angeles, Cobain wore a series of pieces that highlighted Mollino’s oeuvre. Both her olive trench and gauzy transparent dress were covered in the artist’s erotic portraits, and Cobain brought images that were hidden during the Mollino’s lifetime (his Polaroids were released only after his death in 1973) into the most visible place imaginable: the red carpet.

An accomplished visual artist herself, Cobain brought a personal touch to the look. Taking to Instagram post-event to congratulate Scott on his big win of the night, she termed it the “psychedelic sea witch meets fräulein Maria ensemble,” aptly summing up the outfit’s appeal. With her bright pink waves, fish bone necklace, and glossy high boots, she wore each piece with rebellious flair—exactly the way Scott intended.

How Paris Jackson Pulls Off Casual Dior

When you think of Dior, it’s easy to picture flowing gowns and decadent couture, but last night at a brand beauty launch party in Los Angeles, Paris Jackson put a quirky spin on the iconic house’s aesthetic. Arriving in a pair of patchwork-embellished jeans and a yellow sweater with a serpentine symbol and the word “positive,” Jackson looked effortlessly casual, yet completely in line with designer Maria Grazia Chiuri’s whimsical style. The look came direct from the Spring 2018 runway, which incorporated abstract Niki de Saint Phalle artwork. With a bright Diorevolution bag on her shoulder and sparklers from Djula Jewelry and Tiffany and Co., Jackson enjoyed an epic night out at the bash hosted by Bella Hadid.

Jackson and her stylist Sonia Young have been smart about infusing her designer look with personality, and her Dior outfit was no exception. Rather than opt for the runway styling or a standard take on fancy dressing, they chose to go for something fresh. Given the youthfulness of Grazia Chiuri’s runways, Jackson’s vision of Dior managed to capture exactly the right vibe.

Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan Came as Mr. and Mrs. Grey to Fifty Shades Freed’s Paris Premiere

Dakota Johnson wore Prada with Tiffany & Co. jewelry, Jamie Dornan was clad in Tod’s, and combined, they created the most elegant and notable arrival for tonight’s Fifty Shades Freed premiere in Paris. It was fitting for Johnson to wear white, as in the previous installment of the Fifty Shades trilogy, she and Dornan’s characters tied the knot. And while in the film she chose a princess-style dress from Monique Lhuillier for the big moment, Johnson went streamlined and sophisticated for the night.

The actress wore Prada’s white matte sequin slip, a throwback silhouette that she also wore to the Venice Film Festival in 2015. Where the blush version worn in Italy was more simple, tonight’s version went for glamour with asymmetric ruching and a subtle floral motif. As for Dornan, the actor also went modern, yet sleek in a Tod’s velvet suit. The two-button style was a slick alternative to black tie, while the open-collar, no-tie look amped up the louche vibes.

How Issa Rae’s Golden Globes Gown Took Socially Conscious Dressing to the Next Level

With the launch of the Time’s Up initiative targeting sexual harassment, the majority of the stars at the Golden Globes opted to wear all-black as a form of solidarity. The subdued color palette resulted in an appropriate sense of uniformity, but a truly great dress always stands out from the crowd. When Issa Rae arrived on the red carpet in Prabal Gurung’s liquid chiffon gown, she couldn’t help but make an impression. With its plunging neckline and thigh-high slit, the dress evoked sex appeal while keeping with the night’s overarching theme. Accented by floral ruffles on the shoulders and a dramatic train that caught the light, Rae’s look was a perfect combination of sultry and stately.

Striking the right balance at an event where the stakes were especially high was no small feat, but Rae’s ensemble managed it. With a portion of its sales going to #TIMESUP, her dress took the idea of socially conscious dressing one step further, which appealed to both Rae and Gurung. Taking to Instagram post-show to share a quote from the star, Gurung posted an update that summed up both the look and the motivation behind it. “There’s a new resolve, and it feels like even with the action points that we have with the legal defense fund, and making agencies employ more women in positions of power, that it feels like this can actually get done,” said Rae. “So it’s more than just a color. It’s more than just wearing black. We’re about that action.”
