Neon to the max: Timothée Chalamet's and Zendaya's red carpet looks built on Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling's Barbie brights, and Charli XCX's Brat green, to turn the colour up to 10
If there's one commonality between high fashion and high street that you can't ignore, it would have to be the ever-polarising colour palette that is neon – as much a staple of fast fashion retailers as it is now a designer darling. This past season alone, neon made an appearance on the Tom Ford runway in designer Haider Ackermann's debut for the house, while master colourist Christopher John Rogers, who hadn't staged a show in two years, made his highly anticipated return to New York Fashion Week with several of his signature neon shades. As these two remarkably different brands – each with its own distinctive ethos – demonstrate, neon is back and brighter than ever. Most importantly, neon dressing is now more than ever a powerful statement of self-confidence. Tom Ford womenswear autumn/winter 2025-26. Advertisement There's a reason, after all, why construction workers and traffic cones are typically swathed in a shade of somewhat obnoxiously bright neon orange. The colour is unmissable – the message an unmistakable warning of traffic disruptions, lane closures and even potential danger ahead. Wearing neon colours, however intimidating they may seem, achieves an attention grab to similar effect, without all the negative connotations. Whether used sparingly or slathered head-to-toe, neon announces one's arrival with conviction and stands as a spectrum of individuality – the way you wear it says enough about who you are. But how did neon go from high-visibility workwear to the front row of fashion weeks around the world? Like so many maximalist trends in fashion today, we have the 80s to thank for neon's resurgence. Although neon has been around longer than you may think – Day-Glo, the company founded by Americans Robert and Joseph Switzer, which is credited with inventing and commercialising neon fabrics, first took off during the second world war, when bright fluorescent safety materials were in high demand – it was material girl Madonna , along with Jane Fonda's abs and VHS tapes, who really pushed these colours into the mainstream. Jane Fonda helped make neon brights fashionable in the 1980s.

Now, all shades of the neon rainbow can be found in modern sportswear and its distant cousin, streetwear, especially as it continues to cross-pollinate with high fashion (see the aforementioned Ackermann's tie-up with athleisure giant Fila, or other high-profile collabs between brands like Off-White and Nike). Neon's been around so long, in fact, that even as some have predicted its demise – 'Are the bright shoes here to stay,' asked The New York Times in 2013, 'or destined to be the acid wash jeans of tomorrow?' – it remains the colour of choice for gym-goers, joggers and athletes everywhere, from suburban streets to the Olympics.

'Nowadays often when we see a resurgence of a specific colour, it relates back to a pop culture moment,' explains Kay Barron, fashion director at Net-a-Porter. 'Along with the sense of nostalgia, there's a fun and youthful association that drives consumers to seek out these colours in their clothing and accessories.' Barron cites the film's Barbiecore pink dressing trend – inspired by the trademark doll's signature outfits – and its somewhat antithetical successor, the slightly off-putting chartreuse-lime shade dubbed 'Brat green' for the 2024 Charli XCX album cover that inspired it, as prime examples of pop culture's influence on consumer choices. Both neon-adjacent colours quickly made their way onto our social media feeds, into the cultural zeitgeist and yes, even into our clothes.

Anne Hathaway Is Giving Major Andy Sachs Energy
'Oh, and if you don't have that Harry Potter book by then. . . don't even bother coming back.' If you have ever watched the 2006 masterpiece that is The Devil Wears Prada, you know that line. Fierce Runway editor Miranda Priestley (Meryl Streep) tasks her assistant Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) with finding an unreleased Harry Potter manuscript for her twins—and she only has the morning to pull off the impossible. Cue Andy running around town in her stilettos and green Calvin Klein dress, where she eventually does source the hefty book. It's one of the film's most iconic (and stress-inducing) scenes. And almost two decades later, Hathaway is channeling that energy once again. Anne Hathaway in The Devil Wears Prada Photo: Courtesy of Everett Collection This morning in New York City, the actor was spotted shopping for books in the Upper West Side at Westsider Rare & Used Books—and her tote-carting energy was very modern-day Andy Sachs. Sure, Hathaway is buying books for herself, but one could easily imagine Andy having to schlep uptown to find rare first-editions for her boss, dressed in an impeccable outfit. Her Christopher John Rogers for golden barn jacket, for one, is chic—as are her cuffed jeans, heeled boots, and oversized sunglasses. It's precisely the casual-cool outfit we saw Andy wear at the end of the film, as she trailed off in the distance in search of becoming a newspaper journalist. Call the look Anne-does-Andy.

Blake Lively Steps Out in a Corseted Bridal Dress With So Many Ruffles
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." As we've said before, amidst her Another Simple Favor press tour, Blake Lively loves to commit to a theme. And that's why, if Lively's movie character is getting married in a lavish Capri wedding, it makes sense that the actor would emerge into the streets of New York City looking like a blushing bride. As she arrived for her appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Lively embraced her bridal look. She joked to the show host, 'You didn't wear your wedding gown look?' She later teased that she didn't really know where to place all the ruffles of her dress, and playfully added, 'I have all my children under here.' (As readers know, Lively shares four children with husband Ryan Reynolds.) She was right that the Christopher John Rogers gown has a lot of fabric. Its plunging neckline meets a corseted bodice with buttons down the center. The buttons continue on the bottom of the skirt, where a cascade of voluminous ruffles begins. Lively paired the look with nude Christian Louboutin stiletto heels, each with a sparkly silver strap and a bright red sole. Her signature long, flowy waves added to the volume of the look, and she accessorized with round, dangly earrings. Spotted on the street in her dress, the Gossip Girl alum carried a very spring-appropriate flower-patterned tweed clutch courtesy of Chanel. Kerry Washington and Charli XCX have also previously worn this bridal Christopher John Rogers dress. Charli even wore it to do Saturday Night Live promos. Later in the day, Lively switched out of her wedding dress and into a tweed cerulean skirt suit by Carolina Herrera. The zip-up cropped jacket and miniskirt are both embellished with dangling grey jewels all over. The actor wore a pair of turquoise-colored dangly earrings to match, and carried a black-and-silver clutch. Lively once again capped off her look with those spiked Louboutin pumps that she's been flaunting around town to promote her film. She definitely got her 10,000 steps in these heels alone. Another Simple Favor came out on Thursday, but we'll always be able to look back at all the leather, sparkles, fitted suits, and butter yellow that Lively has graces us with during this press tour.

Iridescent Lips, Grungy Eyeliner, and More of Fall's Hottest Makeup Trends
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." I know what you're thinking: How can we discuss next fall's trends while we're still shoveling snow from the sidewalk? February marks the start of fashion month, which means that for the next few weeks, we will get to explore, analyze, and admire what the runways predict will be the fall and winter 2025 beauty trends. For makeup, several runway shows emphasized the importance of experimentation, demonstrating looks with unexpected colors, like blue and green. Interesting makeup placements also dominated the runways, inspiring us to think outside the box. Though simple makeup looks will always have their place, intensity, vibrancy, and passion reigned supreme this season, leading us away from minimalism and toward drama and fantasy. Below, take a look at the best makeup trends we spotted on the runway. Gone are the days when we would run away from blue and green eyeshadow. These colors will be inescapable this fall, and designers like Christian Cowan and Luar are leading the charge. The colors aren't as jarring as you may think; with so many ways to dip your toe into the trend, you can incorporate these colors in a way that works with your taste. If you are a novice, try using green or blue eyeliner, similar to the models at Anna Sui. However, if you prefer drama, fully saturate your eyelids with vibrant shades of blue and green from the Rimmel London Magnif'eyes Palette to get the Christian Cowan mod '60s vibe.$8.46 at Moving down the face, quirky, vibrant lips are in this season. And no, not just your typical bright red (although the models at Alice and Olivia and Coach made a compelling case for it). We're talking about shades of blue, purple, green, and even iridescent pearly tones. While some of the shades may not seem practical for everyday wear, designers like Christopher John Rogers exist to let you know that beauty is what you make it—there are no rules. Who says you can wear your makeup with a blue lip? At Christopher John Rogers, key artist Alex Levy used a mix of the MAC Cosmetics Perpetual Shock MAC Color Excess Gel Pencil Eyeliner, MAC Dazzle Shadow Extreme in color Emerald Cut, and MAC Dazzle Shadow Liquid eye shadow in color Diamond Crumblesover the lips. Then, he added the MAC Clear Lipglass as a finishing touch.$26.00 at Moody makeup looks will always be a cold-weather staple. Alluring, edgy, and sultry, something about dark, deep hues in a makeup look will always be a win in our book. Of course, one of the pillars of the moody grungy makeup aesthetic is the cat eye. At Kim Shui, the classic cat eye was the star of the show, with the tail of the black eyeliner lightly brushed out and surrounded by a soft white eyeshadow. Over at Luar, makeup artist Terry Barber was inspired by 'late '80s supermodel glam meets DIY club drag.' That translated to an ombre, cut-crease eyeshadow look comprised of chalky white, black, and grey eyeshadow and brushed-out eyeliner using the MAC Eye Kohl Pencil in Feline to get a pristine cat eye shape.$23.00 at A good blush is probably one of the easiest ways to elevate a makeup look. Whether you like a full beat or are loyal to the minimalist makeup aesthetic, the right blush—and strategic placement—will make all the difference. Marc Jacobs inspired us all to think outside the box with blush. Though you may not be placing big red dots on your face any time soon, this look was an opportunity to think about blush placement and how it can help accentuate your unique features. At Diotima, blush was vibrant, dewy, and bold, thanks to the Addiction Tokyo Blush in Raspberry Chocolate and Kiss The Night.$26.00 at The smokey eye, much like the cat eye, is here to stay. But this season, designers didn't just want you to buff out your dark shadows and call it a day—they wanted you to have a little bit more fun. At Khaite, shadows were applied higher up on the lids to allow for some negative space between the lashes and the shadow. At Tory Burch, instead of reaching for a black or deep brown shade, makeup artists opted for a light grey, almost silver hue for a subtle yet ethereal twist.

Keke Palmer stuns at New York Fashion Week: See her looks
Keke Palmer stuns at New York Fashion Week: See her looks Show Caption Hide Caption Keke Palmer stuns on New York Fashion Week's first official day At the Christopher John Rogers runway show, Keke Palmer and other celebrities stunned on New York Fashion Week's first official day. NEW YORK — "You know it's your girl!" Keke Palmer brought her brand of millennial diva chic to New York Fashion Week on its first official day, turning heads at the Christopher John Rogers runway show Thursday. The actress sat front row at one of the most coveted tickets of NYFW, donning a dramatic white dress – a v-neck, A-line frock with buttons down the center and ruffled detailing at the waistline, topped with a pastel teal feather and fur coat with taupe swirls draped around her shoulders. Her naked heart shoes, fiery copper hair and sultry smoky eye took the look to the next level. The show was a notable one for fashion enthusiasts and casual style lovers alike, marking Rogers' return to the NYFW calendar after five years. Fashion week: Whoopi Goldberg, Katie Holmes join star-studded front row at Christian Siriano NYFW show Stars stun at fashion week 2025 during Christopher John Rogers Palmer sat front row at the show alongside daytime talk show host Tamron Hall; stylist June Ambrose; theater producer Jordan Roth; "Real Housewives of New York" stars Jenna Lyons, Sai De Silva and Racquel Chevremont; and "Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" star Bronwyn Newport (who made the rounds during the day at Christian Siriano and Brandon Maxwell), among others. The colorful bunch of A-listers leaned in to Rogers' design ethos, which embraces bright colors in each collection and mixes in bold pops of rainbow stripes and lines into expertly (and whimsically) tailored pieces. For Rogers fall/winter 2025 collection, titled "Collection 015: Exhale," he said the pieces embody "this spirit of defiance and individuality by offering up delectable, idiosyncratic inventions that seamlessly integrate into a wardrobe, representing a confident step forward for our ready-to-wear." Materials oscillate between matte cotton piques and twills, and wool tailoring — very American fabrics — and rich satins and grosgrain in silk," according to the show notes. Rogers called the collection "a celebration of our roots — expressive occasionwear imbricated with declarative, playful daywear — and a continued effort to give space for our fantasies to flourish." Those fantasies were made a reality on the runway, with every color of the rainbow making its way down the runway in bold stripes, off-kilter tailoring, and oversized fringe and ruffled detailing. Standout pieces included a pink-multicolor drop-waist dress with exaggerated skirt and an asymmetric cowl neck; a lime green textured coat; and a siren red halter dress with a deep neckline and a black, corseted gown with rainbow stitching, both incorporating the voluminous skirting that's synonymous with the brand. New York Fashion Week returns: Your guide to the star-studded NYFW 2025 Rogers' rainbow runway, with Palmer at the center of the front row, was the final show of the kick off to NYFW. Earlier in the day, at the first show on the official calendar for Council of Fashion Designers of America, which oversees and organizes the fashion shows, the multi-hyphenate starlet appeared at the Brandon Maxwell runway. The "One of Them Days" star stunned in a backless, slinky baby pink dress from the designer. And in a mutual show of support, Maxwell and Rogers both attended each other's shows, with Rogers popping into Maxwell's fashion show in the early afternoon, and Maxwell returning the favor by pulling up to the Rogers runway in the evening.
