Moore wore an all-black look with dramatic volume and bright green accents, while Tallulah matched that mood with cream and chartreuse pieces that echoed the same bold color story. What Happened at Balenciaga The appearance came during Balenciaga’s couture show, where the house unveiled Pierpaolo Piccioli’s…
Flip-flops are having another fashion moment, and this time the debate is bigger than a beach day outfit. In a new Guardian column, Jess Cartner-Morley says the humble sandal has moved back into the style spotlight, but only if people wear it with some restraint and a sharp eye for fit, styling, and setting. The comeback matters because this is not the old flip-flop story. The new version is not just for the pool, the shower block, or the post-pedicure walk home. It is showing up in luxury form, on celebrities, and even in runway-inspired styling conversations for summer 2026.…

This July, fashion is not sitting still. Paris Haute Couture Week, celebrity red carpet choices, and a clear shift in summer style have all pulled attention in the same direction, and the result is a month that feels busy, glossy, and very focused on clothes with a story behind them. I keep seeing the same pattern across the biggest style headlines: fashion people are paying attention to craft, archive pieces, and looks that feel personal rather than generic. That mix is shaping the conversation far more than any single viral trend. What happened this July The biggest fashion story this…
