Winter luxe from Mihlali Ndamase and more
As the cold season settles in, fashion remains just as essential. While winter dressing can feel like a challenge with striking the right balance between staying warm and looking stylish, it's far from impossible.
The key lies in clever layering and texture play with colour also playing a role in winter styling. Vogue describes how the season's standout shades are none other than the timeless duo of black and white.
While black and white may reign supreme this season, they're not the only colours that work. Rich tones like burgundy and earthy hues like deep browns can also elevate a winter look.
We spotlight celebrities who have mastered the art of winter dressing this week:

Martha Stewart sparks hot dog debate over ‘diabolical' condiment
A lifestyle and culinary icon recently took a firm position on the age-old debate of whether ketchup belongs on hot dogs or not. Martha Stewart, founder of Martha Stewart Living, expressed her opinion in an Instagram reel on June 17. 'I love hot dogs with the works,' Stewart said in the video. She added, 'It has to have bacon, mustard, ketchup, relish, sauerkraut.' Her endorsement of ketchup on hot dogs polarized some of her fans — especially those in the Windy City. 'I love Martha, but ketchup on a hot dog is f—ing diabolical,' one user wrote. 'As a Chicagoan, I cannot abide the ketchup on a hot dog,' another chimed in. 'That'll get you thrown right out of that town faster than disliking deep dish pizza.' 5 Martha Stewart has weighed in on whether ketchup belongs on hot dogs or not. Getty Images 5 'It has to have bacon, mustard, ketchup, relish, sauerkraut,' Stewart said about hot dogs. Brent Hofacker – But others appreciated Stewart's vision and spoke out in favor of condiment-packed hot dogs. 'Martha knows what she's talking about,' a ketchup enthusiast wrote. 'Me too, Martha,' another said. Stewart took the pro-ketchup stance after sharing her Chicago-style hot dog recipe earlier in June, writing that 'there's really only one steadfast rule – no ketchup.' Her comment referred only to Chicago-style hot dogs, though. 5 'Martha knows what she's talking about,' a ketchup enthusiast wrote. WS Studio – Still, some of her fans thought she was in their anti-ketchup camp. 5 'There's really only one steadfast rule – no ketchup,' Stewart said, referring only to Chicago-style hot dogs. Getty Images for Netflix One admirer wrote, 'Absolutely NO ketchup – love you, Martha!' Another chimed in, 'Yes, queenie, no ketchup.' One brave commenter came out in support of ketchup on hot dogs – and was promptly shut down. 5 Fans in the Windy City were not fond of those putting ketchup on hotdogs. DAVID – 'Ketchup is a MUST,' the ketchup fan wrote. 'Not in Chitown,' an Instagram user wrote. 'Not in Chicago,' another repeated. So why is ketchup considered such a controversial addition to hot dogs? Chris Christou, owner of Poochie's Hot Dogs in Chicago, told Fox News Digital his rationale behind skipping ketchup. Christou said the tomato-based condiment's flavor is too overpowering for a Chicago-style hot dog. 'I always felt like ketchup, because of its sweetness, overpowered the rest of the condiments,' the restaurateur said. 'Especially the yellow mustard and dill pickle.' But some devil's advocates continue to support the sweet-and-sour condiment. 'Not only does it enhance the flavor, but adding ketchup offers some real health benefits.' New Jersey-based dietitian Erin Palinski-Wade told Fox News Digital she encourages incorporating ketchup into more meals. 'You need ketchup on your hot dog,' she said, sharing her insights as 'a registered dietitian and mom of three,' she added. 'Not only does it enhance the flavor, but adding ketchup offers some real health benefits.' The dietitian said ketchup contains high amounts of lycopene, which has cancer-fighting properties. '[These] benefits [are] thanks to its high content of lycopene, which is more bioavailable in ketchup versus raw tomatoes due to the cooking process involved in making ketchup.' Palinski-Wade added, 'Studies link higher dietary intake of lycopene from tomatoes and ketchup with a reduced risk of stomach and prostate cancer, thanks to lycopene's antioxidant and anticancer properties.' Fox News Digital reached out to Stewart for comment.

7 Legendary Glastonbury Outfits You Can Copy Right Now
From the muddy fields to the main stage, Glastonbury isn't just a music festival, it's a fashion moment. Year after year, be it from A-list celebs to regular festival goers, the festival delivers a parade of iconic looks that blend utility with style. And whether you're dancing through downpours or soaking up sun at the stone circle, your outfit should be as memorable as the line-up. From Kate Moss' era-defining mini dress and Hunter boots to Alexa Chung's flawless mix of layering and high-low styling, Glasto has long been the ultimate runway for festival fashion. To help you pack for this festival (and beyond), we're breaking down some of the most legendary looks spotted backstage over the years and showing you exactly how to copy them. Whether you're channeling rock and roll glamour, off-duty model cool, or playful Britpop vibes, there's something here for everyone. Arguably the most iconic Glastonbury look of all time, Kate Moss' 2005 look is and was the epitome of rock and roll festival style. In the 20 years since Moss stepped out in a shimmering mini dress to Glasto, both Dua Lipa and Alexa Chung have dutifully followed suit. And for good reason: a shimmery mini dress brings effortless glam to even the most sodden of campsites, while the oversized belt adds definition and a tough-girl edge. Layered with a cropped leather jacket and mud-splattered Hunter wellies and be the coolest girl on the field. For a cool yet practical Glastonbury outfit, channel Sienna Miller's 2024 look. Featuring a checked, zip-up shell jacket and drawstring white utility trousers this ensemble is totally festival-functional. The oversized silhouette offers comfort and airflow, perfect for all-day wear, all while delivering a 1990s Britpop vibe. Welly boots are a must for muddy fields - consider a Chelsea boot style to go with trousers. Alexa Chung's 2024 Glastonbury look combines romanticism and vintage vibes with edge. A flowing, pastel yellow slip dress trimmed with lace is both dreamy and daring, particularly when paired with an oversized parka coat. Tough black boots ground the look and add festival practicality for stomping through fields. This outfit proves that mixing soft femininity with rugged outerwear creates a standout look you can recreate with secondhand finds and statement layering. For a playful and practical Glastonbury vibe, Margot Robbie's look is a festival win. An oversized, nostalgic sweatshirt adds a fun twist to even the most practical of outfits (Chloë Sevigny is a big fan of Mickey Mouse tees) and some Fear And Loathing-style sunglasses give you full license to quote Thompson all festival weekend long. While Margot can get away with full length leggings, we'd swap these out for capris or denim, but we're all in on the Hunter wellies and colourful backpack. This ensemble proves you can stay comfy, cute, and mud-proof all at once - ideal for the laid-back festival-goer. Stay incognito, like Adwoa Aboah, in hard-wearing but still cool camouflage. Pick up your camo pieces at army surplus stores at a steal, while ensuring you're wearing premium grade stuff. Jazz up your look with a 'personality hat' - we love Emma Brewin's furry bucket hats, but head scarves and fisherman hats would also do the trick. Embrace your inner eccentric, clash prints with purpose, and make your outfit as unforgettable as the music lineup itself. If you want to give it girl energy at Glastonbury, take notes from this iconic look. A tailored waistcoat worn as a top reads androgynous, while micro shorts and a studded belt keep the silhouette fearless. Pair, as ever, with black Hunter wellies and a simple crossbody bag keeps essentials handy without ruining the vibe. To recreate this effortlessly cool energy, layer some minimalist jewellery, and let your confidence do the talking. This is festival fashion stripped back and turned up. Alexa Chung's Glastonbury look is a masterclass in festival layering. To recreate it, start with high-waisted denim shorts over opaque black tights (for warmth). Add a fitted denim jacket for double denim done right, then top it with a waxed Barbour coat to stay practical and timeless. The key accessory? A printed neck scarf that adds a pop of personality. And of course, finish with essential muddy wellies. This outfit blends British heritage with cool-girl charm.
