Kate Middleton Skipped the All-Black Dress Code at the BAFTAs, and Some People Are Upset

All eyes were on Kate Middleton as she marked her arrival at the 2018 BAFTA Awards on the red carpet. The pregnant royal managed to find a solution to her most recent fashion conundrum: To wear black to this year's event, or not. 

Both choices carried consequences, which made her decision even more meaningful. If she wore black, the royal would show her support for the Time's Up movement, along with actresses, like Margot Robbie and Octavia Spencer. However, the color choice would break royal rules, as it can often be seen as a political statement. Slipping on a bold shade would be risky, too.


After much speculation of what she would do, Middleton followed protocol, and opted for a forest green Jenny Packham gown. The dress's dark hue was a happy medium between the two principles: It was deep enough that it didn't feel out of place in a sea of black, and it respected the monarchy's long-standing policy. 

See All the Celebrities Sitting Front Row at London Fashion Week

As soon as the last model hit the runway at Marc Jacobs's fall 2018 New York Fashion Week show, editors and fashion insiders flocked to London for the next wave of looks that'll capture your attention.


But first, who's sitting in the front row? Mulberry kicked off London Fashion Week on Friday in a posh way with celebrities like Emma Roberts and Jourdan Dunn playing witness to designer Johnny Coca's latest collection, which came with a full-on live performance by British singer Alison Goldfrapp. So what else can we expect to go down in the days ahead? Design houses we for sure know will draw out an A-list crowd include J.W. Anderson, Burberry, Simone Rocha, Mary Katrantzou, and Erdem.

All the Major Model Moments You Can’t Miss from Fall/Winter 2018 Fashion Month

Fashion month has just begun, and this year's catwalks are already shaping up to be some of the industry's most diverse yet. From newborn babies to fierce old ladies, fashion week has seen models from every walk of life on the runway.

The festivities began in New York City, and NYFW started off more casually than ever with Hailey Baldwin and Kendall Jenner's athleisure looks at Adidas Originals' unique, architectural presentation. Gigi Hadid made her 2018 debut with pink hair at Jeremy Scott, while Kaia Gerber walked her first runway of the year at Tom Ford.


Of course, that is just the beginning of what we'll see from these veteran models during the four busy weeks of fashion shows. From Moschino to Marc Jacobs, we can expect many a major model moment on the runway. And this year's Burberry fall 2018 show did not disappoint, with Cara Delevingne and fellow models strutting down the catwalk in LGBTQ-friendly patchwork sweaters and striped fur coats. 

From New York to London, Milan, and Paris, the hottest designers are showing off their fall/winter 2018 collections and using some major star power to do so. Scroll down to see what happens when these experts hit the runway, and you’ll understand why we’re seeing stars.

What We Loved at New York Fashion Week

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, New York Fashion Week was held at one, single location; a magical place called Bryant Park. Then, New York Fashion Week moved to another single location, this time, uptown; another magical place called Lincoln Center. And then everything sort of went haywire, location wise. 


It's certainly exciting seeing all these buildings and spaces around Manhattan where designers show their collections (Bottega Veneta showed at the New York Stock Exchange! Wang showed at the old Condé Nast building!) but nowadays, you spend more time trying to get to a show then you do seeing the actual clothes.

With that in mind, we bring you uninterrupted photos of our favorite looks from New York Fashion Week. No NYC traffic. No crowded elevators. Just. The. Clothes.  


At Calvin Klein, Raf Simons Tests the Limits of the Space Age, with a Nod to Jiffy Pop

You may be too young to remember this, but 20 years ago, Calvin Klein – the OG of American sportswear himself – created a bit of a media sensation when he became the first designer to publish advertisements on popcorn bags sold in movie theaters. 


Klein, then at the height of his influence as a pop-culture provocateur, set a new tone for marketing in theaters that were, at the time, seen as a respite from the cold, cruel world of advertising. He did this simply by promoting his jeans and fragrances on bags of popcorn. It was a big deal then, anyway, when cell phones were just toys.

How Ralph Lauren’s Vacation-Inspired Spring Fashion Show Came Together

Today in New York, Ralph Lauren sent his spring/summer 2018 collection down the runway. Inspired by the Lauren family's home in Jamaica, the show featured barefoot models, laid-back looks with a distinctly beachy feel, and (of course) a whole lot of classic RL charm.


"Everyone wishes for a magical place where they can step out of time into the beauty of nature," Lauren said in a press release. "For Spring 2018, I wanted to share the mood, the light, the blue and white freshness of my retreat in Jamaica. My collections for women and men conjure up the carefree, sophisticated style of this special experience—exuberant, luxurious, timeless!"


But before everything made its New York Fashion Week debut, there was work to be done. Looks had to be decided upon, fits perfected, and models cast. Here's a look at the final fitting before the show, where the guys donned the clothes they wore down the runway today.


What's particularly interesting—besides getting a look behind the proverbial curtain—is seeing how things shift and final decisions are made. Take, for instance, this look, which initially included a suit jacket:

5 Trends To Embrace In 2018

Set your sights on the new season? Up your game with Vogue's edit of trends for 2018. We're talking ugly shoes (it's a thing!), the fresh model face to know, and the unlikely return of cycling shorts... all beautifully illustrated by fashion's favourite illustrator, Tanya Ling.

Cycling shorts are back, requisitioned from the Eighties aerobics studio. Well, only if they’re beautifully rendered in lace, as seen at Saint Laurent, where they were worn underneath a voluminous ball gown, or Nina Ricci, where they underscored tassel-heavy shirts. Time to tone up those thighs.


The style cognoscenti don't waste time with handbag clutter. Streamline your daily haul and upgrade your wallet: with plastic as a key catwalk trend at Valentino (seen here, with a studded purse interior), Chanel and Céline, your entirely see-through handbag should only reveal a neatly curated interior.

Any summer wedding guest can throw a cardigan over their dress - it’s those who are fastening them at the throat with a bejewelled brooch, arms left trailing (à la Erdem) that are winning right now.


You're never too old to play with porcelain: a raspberry chain of embroidered dolls on white cotton at Simone Rocha, inspired by her collection of childhood toys, is the new-season update on florals. If that feels a little girly, try chintzy feet: Mulberry's sleek ankle boots come with a bone china heel fit for a country house dresser.


We love the lissom Yorkshire teen Fran Summers, who stormed spring at Saint Laurent, Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton and Céline in her debut season. Her agent signed her up on the premise that she reminded him of a young Natalie Portman, playing child assassin Mathilda in Léon. True to form, she's killing it.


How Many People Does It Take To Make a Couture Dress?

A dress is a dress, is a dress, is a dress, right? Well, not exactly. Not if said dress is couture. And definitely not if the said dress is Valentino Couture.

Yesterday in Paris, Pierpaolo Piccioli sent his Spring/Summer 2018 couture collection down the runway. The pieces took a breather from the typical uber feminine dresses he shows and instead, appeared modern and almost utilitarian (a fun sentiment when you add the most amazing feather hats ever). It was “a Haute Couture of present times,” the brand said in a press release.


One non-everyday piece that veered more traditional couture was a stand out red dress (how Valentino of them). The dress, “Floriana” is a celebration of the House of Valentino. Made entirely by hand (it’s couture, baby!), the dress was created using a technique known as pagine—which translates to mean “pages.” “The effect is that of the slightly offset superposition that can typically be found in the pages of an open book or between the petals of a flower,” the brand tells InStyle.com exclusively.

The dress, made entirely by hand by six seamstresses from a light organza, has more than 375 Valentino-red scallops. Chic.

Why Twinning With Your Coworker Is No Coincidence—It’s Science

“One time I saw Cady Heron wearing army pants and flip-flops, so I bought army pants and flip-flops.” Remember that iconic Mean Girls quote? Half of it came to fruition on a recent Friday, when three Vogue editors—Fashion News Director Chioma Nnadi, Emerging Platforms & Fashion News Editor Steff Yotka, and Living Editor Ella Riley-Adams—happened to wear three variations of camouflage cargo pants to the office. Each had a different reason for wearing the combat-ready trousers (the search for a “subversive uniform,” or an “office-to-Netflix” transitional piece).


This trifecta of camo had a strange effect on me, too. When the next Friday rolled around, I found myself gravitating toward a pair of camo Wranglers—not quite as casual as jeans, not quite dress pants. They had just the right amount of printed funk to add some kick to my standard lazy look, and suddenly, I was ready to match with my colleagues, too.
