With two decades of making over thousands of women from across the globe under her belt, Trinny Woodall says there’s one thing she can often determine the minute she meets a new client: the decade in which they learned how to do their makeup.

“I’ve noticed that women tend to stick with a look that makes them feel their most appealing,” says the 58-year-old former fashion journalist who came into stardom as one-half of the straight-talking duo on the BBC series What Not to Wear. “As they go down the path of life, that look reminds them of a feeling they once had—of power, success and confidence in themselves. Their makeup becomes an automatic thing. But when you wind your movie forward 10 years, your face’s shape, texture and colour have all changed. The things you did then are not ideal for the face you have today.”

Woodall’s jetsetting career has also helped her recognize the frustrations that women—particularly those over 35—commonly feel. “I’ve learned that all women—no matter their skin colour, religion or context of life—have the same mindset. I could be speaking to a woman in the West Bank in Israel or a Hindu lady in India and I always find her thinking ‘I feel lost at this stage’ or ‘I feel I’m not being spoken to and I don’t know what products to use.’”

With “the voices of 5,000 women in [her] head,” Woodall would eventually birth the fast-growing digital-first beauty line Trinny London in 2017. Her finger-friendly stackable pots of lip and cheek stains and shade-adapting skin tints have taken the makeup market by storm, and earlier this year, the direct-to-consumer brand entered the skincare space with refillable staples that include cleansers, exfoliating acids, moisturizers and serums.

“I’m not appealing to the glossy Charlotte Tilbury girl,” says Woodall. “I’m appealing to the woman who might have confidence in many areas of her life—in being a mom and in her career—but would like somebody to guide her on what she should be doing beauty-wise. I love that kind of woman!”

It’s a guide made simple thanks in large part to a short quiz, dubbed Match2Me, on the brand’s website that directs customers to the products and colours that suit them best rather than to the trends of the season. “We don’t sell ‘rock chic’ looks or ‘femme fatale’ moments, and we’re not about making products confusing or difficult to use,” explains Woodall. “We’re about the emotional connection women have with Trinny London—feeling better about themselves after an experience with us.”

Below, Trinny Woodall shares the go-to staples on her vanity.

The late Queen Elizabeth II knew the power of fashion. Throughout her 70-year reign, she used clothes, colours, hats and jewels to conduct soft diplomacy and developed a stylish language of covert symbols. So it was only fitting that today, as the world paid its final respects at the Queen’s funeral at Westminster Abbey, Meghan Markle, Kate Middleton, Princess Charlotte and other members of the Royal Family continued the late monarch’s stylish legacy.

Needless to say, black was the colour of choice for the 2000+ royals, politicians and dignitaries that attended, but the sea of monochromatic ensembles seemed even more striking than usual. It’s a well-known fact that the British Royal Family must adhere to a stringent dress code. While most rules address appropriate necklines and hem lengths, there is one that states members of the monarchy can only wear black for mourning purposes. Meghan has famously broken this rule on multiple occasions, but you can probably count on one hand how many times you’ve seen Kate or Camilla in a dark dress—and Charlotte even fewer. So to see everyone so sombrely attired at the Queen’s funeral was especially compelling.

To pay tribute to the woman who was so much more than a monarch—a mother-in-law, grandmother-in-law and great-grandmother—the females of the family accessorized their sombre attire with meaningful jewellery. Meghan Markle wore a pair of earrings her Majesty gifted her in 2018. Kate Middleton, the newly titled Princess of Wales, wore a pearl-and-diamond choker and earrings that once belonged to the late monarch. And Princess Charlotte wore her first-ever brooch, one of the Queen’s trademark accessories.

See for yourself below, as we’ve broken down all the hidden symbolism in the royal jewels.

Dana Richardson-Blewett doesn’t know how many vintage coats she has in her collection. “I stopped counting once I reached 108,” she laughs from her home in Toronto. “I just can’t tell anymore because there are way too many.” And indeed there are.

As the owner of two businesses that sell and rent vintage clothing (Victory Girl Vintage and Victory Girl Collections), Richardson-Blewett has accumulated her own personal reservoir of retro outerwear, which would rival the archives of MGM Studios and Paramount Pictures combined. Her closet is like a perfectly preserved fashion time capsule, transporting those lucky enough to step inside it into a world where long fur stoles from the 1930s and ’40s intermingle with psychedelic patterns from the ’60s and ’70s and where leather trenches and wool capes conjure images from American Hustle and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. And this isn’t even a quarter of her hoard.

“Coats are a crazy thing to collect because they take up a lot of room,” says Richardson-Blewett, lamenting her lack of storage space. As a result, she’s been forced to split her stockpile between her basement, her front hall closet and her parents’ house. (They don’t seem to mind.) It’s actually her family that’s to blame for her love of vintage. Her mother bought consigned clothing for Richardson-Blewett before she was even born. Her stepmother was a fashion professor at Brescia University College in London, Ont. And in the ’40s, her grandmother chose to forgo food for a month so she could afford a full-length mink masterpiece (although Richardson-Blewett believes this is probably an exaggeration).

Fittingly, one of the first pieces in Richardson-Blewett’s collection was a gift from her grandmother: a shorter version of the aforementioned furry finery. Another early addition was a blue leather jacket from the ’60s, a purchase inspired by her fascination with Twiggy and Mary Quant. However, Richardson-Blewett shares that her style has evolved since her teen years. “Now, it’s a mash-up of decades,” she begins. “After those early years, I wore a lot from the ’30s and ’40s, but now I’m really into the ’70s. It’s not about having one fashion icon but more of an overall vibe,” which she describes as feminine, eclectic and classic.

But with such a fascination with all vintage fashion, why collect coats? Well, for starters, Richardson-Blewett says that they’re easy to buy because “the fit doesn’t have to be perfect” and “there are always so many beautiful new ones to be discovered.” She also adds that older outerwear can work effortlessly with modern outfits. “When customers come into my store and say they want to get into vintage but don’t know where to start, I always tell them to buy a coat,” she explains. In fact, one of Richardson-Blewett’s favourite feelings is walking down the street in a statement ensemble and watching the reactions from passersby. A few strangers have even run after her, desperate to know where she had found a particular piece. She smiles at the thought of this and says, “I feel like a million bucks when I wear the right coat.”

And therein lies the truth about Richardson-Blewett’s jumble of retro jackets: It’s fuelled by pure, unabashed joy. She loves imagining the earlier life of a well-worn trench and delights in rummaging through the pockets of a repurposed peacoat, eager to find a souvenir from a previous owner. And, most importantly, Richardson-Blewett feels like the best version of herself while wearing them. “There’s something very powerful about sporting a beautiful vintage coat. I know I’m not going to blend into the crowd, and I like that.”

Diesel launches its first all-gender fragrance

Wearing a signature scent is comparable to putting on your favourite pair of jeans; it just feels right. And let’s be honest: No one knows denim quite like Glenn Martens, Diesel’s creative director. Just look at the brand’s Fall 2022 Milan Fashion Week runway collection—Martens’s first for the iconic label—and you’ll find everything from outerwear made of hand-shredded denim manipulated to look like faux fur to chambray-style boot pants. Now, the Belgian designer’s creativity can be experienced in D by Diesel, the Italian fashion house’s first gender-fluid fragrance, which was overseen by Martens. With a cap resembling the rivets on a pair of Diesel jeans and a warped bottle made from 25 percent post-consumer recycled clear glass, the dynamic new spritz features notes of vanilla, lavender and ginger.

We’re obsessed with Guerlain’s new eyesahdows

Like a delicious box of assorted chocolates, the best eyeshadow palettes are the equivalent of a one-stop shop, all neatly housed in eye-catching casing. Purse-size and pigment-packed, Guerlain’s Ombres G eyeshadow quads boast a luxe edit of rose oil-laced shades in satin, matte and metallic finishes that encourage you to play and customize your own perfect colour combo.

Jack Black launches a new Acne Remedy product

Among the masses, acne is easily one of the top skincare concerns. Whether it’s hormonal, hereditary, or even just here-and-there, we’ve all had our fair share of breakouts. And although acne is a very human (and normal) experience, grooming brand Jack Black has put its lab coat on to create a new addition to the Acne Remedy line. Enter: Clearing Spot Fix. With 10 percent sulfur in its formula, the oil-free product does a diligent job of penetrating pores and quelling the curse of blemishes, one dab at a time.

Amika’s new dry shampoo is an oil magnet

If you dread hair wash days, fret not—Amika’s newest offering is here to extend time between washes. The Perk Up Plus Extended Clean Dry Shampoo is a mighty, scalp-nourishing formula infused with a gentle AHA. Packed with other great ingredients like rambutan seed extract, arrowroot powder, mandelic acid and peptides, your head and hair will feel fresh, with an ideal balance of hydration. Plus, it’s invisible and grit-free.

Two wonderful things in life are sleep and skincare. And when combined, well, that’s just a bewitching moment. Take Filorga’s new Sleep & Peel 4.5 for example. The high-performance cocktail of active ingredients is designed to visually improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and boost radiance, even after just one night. It may be presumptuous to think you can free two birds with one key, but we’re betting high on this one.

I am terrified of Mia Goth. And I mean that in the best way possible.

The 28-year-old actor has recently cemented herself as nothing less than a modern horror icon, while disrupting tired tropes and serving insidiously captivating red carpet fashion along the way. And it’s all because of her starring roles in Ti West’s stylistic slasher trilogy comprising the movie X, its newly released prequel Pearl and the upcoming final installment MaXXXine. In this franchise, Mia Goth—who plays both the victim and the villain—knows exactly what she’s doing.

Set in the 1970s, X (released in March 2022) follows a group of free-spirited young adults who rent a cabin on a farm to make a porn film. The only problem? They have to do it without being caught by the puritanical elderly couple who owns the acreage. As you might have guessed, chaos ensues. Spoilers ahead.

In the film, Mia Goth plays Maxine, a young actress with hopes of becoming the next big star. But she also plays Pearl, the elderly woman who seeks violent revenge on the filmmakers. She flips between an effortlessly beautiful, sexually liberated character to a prosthetics-donning older woman who feels she’s losing her femininity. And often, Goth gives these performances in the same scene.

Unsurprisingly, the prequel, Pearl (in theatres September 16) is already making waves. Set in 1918, it follows the titular villain in her younger years as she tries to pursue a career in showbiz. While X hones in on the horror of living a life unfulfilled, Pearl spotlights the lengths required to achieve one’s dreams. Crucially, both call attention to the inescapable passage of time. I can’t help but feel the spine-chilling air of the films come to life off-screen, too.

On the red carpet, Mia Goth’s looks are severe and layered, just like her roles. When attending the Pearl premiere at TIFF, she donned a lace look with dark lipstick and a subdued black veil covering her face. It should be noted that the ensemble was designed by Dolce & Gabbana, a brand with its own disturbing associations. Overall, it’s a style that screams, “funeral, but make it a fashion show.”

In fact, most of Goth’s promotional outfits for Pearl have fallen into Chic Widow territory. At the Venice International Film Festival, she attended the film’s photo call in an all-black Dolce & Gabbana getup comprising a corset, mesh opera gloves and a head scarf paired with oversized shades. Later the same day, she emerged onto the red carpet in a velvet gown with romantic goth mesh detailing. It’s giving drama, and we should expect nothing less.

I mean, horror, at its core, is about garnering a fantasy—albeit, an unwanted one. And Mia Goth, by expertly switching between opposing roles and bringing her films’ morose tones to life on the red carpet, is serving us gloomy icon imagery.

The slasher genre historically punishes women for being sexually liberated, while sparing those who are most innocent. But in X, hedonistic Maxine is far from a “perfect” victim, and yet, she is the only person in her group to survive. With MaXXXine, which is reportedly set after X, viewers will get to see Maxine’s quest to become a star. By showcasing how any cliché character can be complex and nuanced, the actor is redefining the meaning of the “final girl” in horror.

Mia Goth is killing it, in more ways than one. As Pearl hits theatres and MaXXXine promises a final look into the eerie X universe, we have learned to expect the unexpected from the bonafide queen of horror. I, for one, am simply grateful to be along for the ride.

If you’re blessed with natural waves, curls or coils, it’s important to know that top-notch definition begins once you step into the shower—not when you get out—and that the products you select dictate how well your hair will hold up throughout the week. We know that mastering a wash-and-go can take a lot of trial and error, so we’ve consulted two Canadian curly-hair specialists to help you craft a washing routine. Read on for their top tips, from techniques to product recommendations.

Deep cleanse

The key to a ridiculously good wash-and-go? Start with a clarifying shampoo to create a totally clean foundation stripped of all buildup. “I always emphasize clarifying because it strips the hair of any product, oils, debris or dead skin cells—things that could affect the scalp and hair and lead to excessive dryness and breakage,” says Maegan Berment, founder of and chief stylist at Crowned Melanin Beauty in Winnipeg. “Once you have clarified and removed any buildup, your hair is now ready to accept moisture back into it,” adds Shelly Guerin, owner of Honey Curly Hair Studio in Calgary, who recommends a clarifier free of stripping detergents (a.k.a. sulfates). And take your time. “Give your scalp some love and attention,” advises Guerin. “You shouldn’t just be doing a two-minute scrub and then not washing it again for a while.” As for frequency, using a clarifying shampoo every seven to 10 days or every two weeks is a pro-recommended rule of thumb—it just depends on lifestyle. “Someone who is constantly layering products should clarify once a week,” says Berment, adding that you can always follow up with a moisturizing shampoo if you are worried that the process will leave your hair too parched. And if you want to do a gentler cleanse in between the deeper ones, perhaps due to working out or having looser waves and curls that tend to get weighed down quickly, a moisturizing shampoo or cleansing conditioner will be your friend.

Condition and detangle

One important thing to remember is that curl definition loves hydration and hydration starts with water. “We forget that water is moisture,” says Guerin. “It’s definitely the most important ingredient that we should be factoring in.” This means making sure that your hair is sopping wet when you’re applying the next step: a deep conditioner. “This helps the conditioner travel through the hair cuticles, which will result in less tension when it comes to detangling,” adds Berment. “Water also helps you avoid overusing product.” Once your hair is coated with conditioner, diligent detangling can begin. “I alternate between using my hands and a Denman brush or wide-toothed comb,” says Berment, who sections clients’ hair with clips during the process, especially those with thick locks. “I’ll go in with my fingers and pull apart any single-strand knots.” Once hair is knot-free (note: detangling to the roots will aid in elongating your curls), let your deep conditioner sit for a bit to help hair retain as much moisture as possible before rinsing it thoroughly. Afterwards, it’s time for a leave-in. “A leave-in conditioner seals in all the moisture from your conditioning and detangling and also keeps hair soft for styling,” notes Berment.

Depending on your curl pattern, your mileage from curl-defining products and techniques may vary, meaning there may be more steps needed. Both hairstylists recommend a water-based gel layered over your leave-in conditioner for amplifying springy curls and coils (“Tighter curls tend to have more moisture needs, and gels retain the most,” says Guerin) and a lightweight volumizing foam or mousse for looser curl patterns, which are prone to being weighed down. Again, don’t underestimate the importance of water: “Work in small sections, and rake your product through super-wet hair with either your fingers or a hair tool, like a Denman brush,” says Berment. (Tip: Keep your stylers in your shower so you can easily add more water as you go.) If your hair is especially dry or you live in a dry climate, Berment suggests taking the extra step of adding an oil-based topper (particularly if you have thick, tighter textures). For example, a moisturizing curl cream will help stop water from evaporating. And on the subject of tightly wound hair: It can sometimes clump together and seem undefined, which means a regular finger-raking process might not cut it. Other tried-and-true techniques? Shingling (applying a curl product through each curl to separate and smooth), finger coiling (twirling small sections of hair with a curl definer using your fingers) and two-strand twists (separating mini sections of product-coated hair into two pieces and wrapping them around each other as tightly as possible; hair is unravelled once it’s fully dry). Time-consuming, yes. But the results are beyond.

Dry

Guerin and Berment recommend using a hood dryer. The dome-shaped tool’s controlled heat reduces overall drying time and won’t blow hair around, allowing defined curls to set very quickly for a polished final look. There are many compact, portable options on the market, but if that’s not feasible, simply air-drying or using a diffuser attachment will do the job. And don’t touch. “Let your hair completely dry so you don’t disturb the curl pattern—you’ll get more longevity,” says Berment.

A good wash-and-go can take some time, so it’s helpful to know how to make your style last until the next washday comes around. Wearing a silk or satin bonnet at night will protect your mane from frizz-inducing friction while you sleep. It also helps retain moisture in the hair, notes Guerin. If your curls look a bit crushed come morning, reach for a fine-mist spray bottle filled with water or water mixed with a light conditioner for a quick refresh. (Berment personally loves cocktailing water and hydrating rosewater.) “Don’t oversaturate the hair,” she advises. “Just dampen it enough to make it flexible again.”

Reset, moisturize and style

If you’re blessed with natural waves, curls or coils, it’s important to know that top-notch definition begins once you step into the shower—not when you get out—and that the products you select dictate how well your hair will hold up throughout the week. We know that mastering a wash-and-go can take a lot of trial and error, so we’ve consulted two Canadian curly-hair specialists to help you craft a washing routine. Read on for their top tips, from techniques to product recommendations.

Deep cleanse

The key to a ridiculously good wash-and-go? Start with a clarifying shampoo to create a totally clean foundation stripped of all buildup. “I always emphasize clarifying because it strips the hair of any product, oils, debris or dead skin cells—things that could affect the scalp and hair and lead to excessive dryness and breakage,” says Maegan Berment, founder of and chief stylist at Crowned Melanin Beauty in Winnipeg. “Once you have clarified and removed any buildup, your hair is now ready to accept moisture back into it,” adds Shelly Guerin, owner of Honey Curly Hair Studio in Calgary, who recommends a clarifier free of stripping detergents (a.k.a. sulfates). And take your time. “Give your scalp some love and attention,” advises Guerin. “You shouldn’t just be doing a two-minute scrub and then not washing it again for a while.” As for frequency, using a clarifying shampoo every seven to 10 days or every two weeks is a pro-recommended rule of thumb—it just depends on lifestyle. “Someone who is constantly layering products should clarify once a week,” says Berment, adding that you can always follow up with a moisturizing shampoo if you are worried that the process will leave your hair too parched. And if you want to do a gentler cleanse in between the deeper ones, perhaps due to working out or having looser waves and curls that tend to get weighed down quickly, a moisturizing shampoo or cleansing conditioner will be your friend.

Condition and detangle

One important thing to remember is that curl definition loves hydration and hydration starts with water. “We forget that water is moisture,” says Guerin. “It’s definitely the most important ingredient that we should be factoring in.” This means making sure that your hair is sopping wet when you’re applying the next step: a deep conditioner. “This helps the conditioner travel through the hair cuticles, which will result in less tension when it comes to detangling,” adds Berment. “Water also helps you avoid overusing product.” Once your hair is coated with conditioner, diligent detangling can begin. “I alternate between using my hands and a Denman brush or wide-toothed comb,” says Berment, who sections clients’ hair with clips during the process, especially those with thick locks. “I’ll go in with my fingers and pull apart any single-strand knots.” Once hair is knot-free (note: detangling to the roots will aid in elongating your curls), let your deep conditioner sit for a bit to help hair retain as much moisture as possible before rinsing it thoroughly. Afterwards, it’s time for a leave-in. “A leave-in conditioner seals in all the moisture from your conditioning and detangling and also keeps hair soft for styling,” notes Berment.

Let’s be honest: New York Fashion Week desperately needed a refresh. With so many American designers pressing the pause button during the pandemic, the first stop on the stylish schedule has been a little empty and a little lacklustre. But thanks to the arrival of Fendi and Marni, Lil Nas X’s appearance at Coach and the Anne Hathaway The Devil Wears Prada moment, the “city that never sleeps” has woken up, and it brought the effortlessly cool and edgy energy with it.

See for yourself with our roundup of the most viral runway moments of New York Fashion Week 2022:

Michael Kors: Andrea Sachs, meet Anne Hathaway

The Devil Wears Prada came to life on the sidelines of Michael Kors’s Spring 2023 collection, and, as predicted, the Internet lost its mind. Sporting bangs, a black turtleneck and a brown croc leather coat, Anne Hathaway channelled her character Andrea Sachs from the film and, in an ironic twist of fate, was seated beside Miranda Priestly herself, Anna Wintour. In Manhattan of all places, the moment felt very meta and added some major nostalgia to the night. On the runway, Michael Kors looked further into the past (the 1970s, to be exact), as models resembled Lauren Hutton and other Halston muses with plunging necklines, sarongs, and disco-level sequins.

Coach: Lil Nas X enters the conversation

It was only a matter of time before the extremely stylish Lil Nas X ended up on the catwalk, and he chose none other than Coach to make his debut. Closing the Spring 2023 presentation, the rapper wore a leather vest and shorts with pink jellies and a gold wristlet. Other looks in the show followed suit and featured lots of colourful separates, varsity-inspired emblems, and unconventional materials.

Fendi: SJP, Marc Jacobs and Tiffany & Co. celebrate the Baguette

What do you get when you combine Fendi’s Baguette bag with Sarah Jessica Parker, Marc Jacobs, Tiffany & Co. and Porter? A 25th-anniversary celebration of epic proportions! In honour of the Baguette’s birthday, the Italian brand marked the occasion by staging a multi-way collaboration with quintessential New York tastemakers (hence the departure from Milan Fashion Week).

Tiffany’s presented pieces using its trademark robin egg’s blue, SJP’s purple purse was an ode to the one in Sex in the City, Porter paid tribute to its luggage-related roots, and Marc Jacobs brought his streetwear sensibilities. To top it all off, Linda Evangelista closed the show—her first runway appearance since her CoolSculpting nightmare. So all in all, a very sweet celebration!

Marni: Red hot in NYC

Marni brought Italian magic to this New York Fashion Week as it presented its Spring 2023 collection in a tunnel underneath the Manhattan Bridge in New York City. While the sun had set outside, the runway was bursting with vibrant shades of red, yellow, and orange. And the Apollo references didn’t stop there. Nearly every ensemble was adorned with a circle motif, including knitted crop tops, leather jackets and psychedelic jeans.

Tommy Hilfiger: Andy Warhol, who?

If you’ve ever wanted to visit Andy Warhol’s factory, Tommy Hilfiger’s Fall 2022 show is the closest you’ll get. To celebrate the new collection, the American designer staged a part runway, part party, part modern art museum at Brooklyn’s Skyline Drive-In and not even the rain could ruin this parade. True to Hilfiger’s preppy roots, models descended the catwalk in colourful polos, sweater vests and varsity jackets. But the assortment also featured a few surprises, including sweatpants with three waistbands and a collaboration with the UK’s Richard Quinn.

Kim Shui: Wear your selfie on your sleeve

Why have one designer when you can have 784? For its Spring collection, Kim Shui teamed up with Afterpay to present the world’s first crowdsourced garment: a dress designed using fabric made up of hundreds of digital images. If you look closely at the colourful confection, you’ll spot all the various photo and digital art submissions that resulted in the cultural mosaic pictured above.
