Topshop Teases New Relaunch Campaign — And It Stars Cara Delevingne
The countdown is on: Topshop 2.0 is almost here — and for the big comeback, it's partnered with longtime brand muse Cara Delevingne. The beloved high street brand, which is relaunching next month, has chosen Delevingne to be the face of its new era, casting her in its Autumn/Winter 2025 campaign shot by Bartek Szmigulski. 'To be asked to be part of the relaunch, it meant so much to me — and my teenage self, who remembers going into Topshop and really feeling like you could find anything you wanted,' Delevigne told ELLE UK. To celebrate the partnership, the model has curated a special 30-piece Topshop edit, which will be available to shop on the newly relaunched website set to land on August 16. Among Delevingne's picks are a black-and-white faux shearling coat, a stand-out '80s-inspired jacket, and updated takes on Topshop's cult Joni and Jamie jeans. 'A lot of them are really fun pieces that I do feel like that you could wear and change up,' she explained. 'You could style them how you want, whether you wear all Topshop or you mix it with something vintage — it feels very eclectic, but also modern.' The model is also working on a full capsule collection, set to launch for Autumn/Winter next year, the brand said. Delevingne has a long history with Topshop, first appearing in a video to promote one of the Kate Moss x Topshop collaborations in 2010. She went on to walk in a number of Topshop shows during London Fashion Week, before landing a solo campaign for the high street giant in 2014, aged 21. For Topshop, Delevingne was the obvious choice for the face of the brand. 'Cara is the perfect embodiment of the Topshop spirit—bold, creative, and unapologetically herself,' Managing Director Michelle Wilson said in a statement. 'This partnership is more than a campaign; it's a statement of intent as we reintroduce Topshop to the world.' Last week, Topshop confirmed it would be returning to the catwalk for the first time in seven years, staging a fashion show at a 'landmark' setting in London to reveal its AW25 collection. The show will be followed by a street party, complete with live music, DJ sets and surprise guests from the London creative community, with both events open to the public. The show will coincide with the relaunch of with Topshop and Topman looks available to purchase right after they've debuted on the catwalk, alongside Delevingne's special edit. Delevingne says there's 'something for everyone' in her edit, which is a mix of statement pieces and staples. But if she had to pick her hero buy? 'The updated Jamie jeans, those are my favourite,' she said. 'Skinny jeans are back!' ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.

Playful Blush And Juicy Lip Oils: Dior Unveils New Backstage Make-Up Collection
It's no secret that the backstage of a fashion show has long been the birthplace of novel make-up techniques and soon-to-be-viral beauty trends. Whether make-up artists are flexing their creativity or teasing new product launches, this is where experts come together to dictate the make-up trends that will soon monopolise our feeds, and the behind-the-scenes tip and tricks we'll soon want to emulate in our own daily routines. This was the driving force behind Christian Dior's Backstage Collection which launched to great fanfare in 2018, giving us a taste of backstage beauty favourites and the formulas that not only withstand the runway but speak to the beauty zeitgeist, whether that's glossy, high-shine textures or bold, forward-thinking trends. The first was a face and body foundation that withstood bright lights and maintained a luminous glow that centred upon skin health rather than the concealing, caking and covering that was monopolising at the time. Years later and Dior has unveiled a new make-up collection that speaks to a growing trend for playful, juicy textures. Fronted by Jenna Ortega - who is the new face of the new collection - the latest make-up spans a glossy lip oil, an innovative powder blush, and a unique glow-enhancing stick, which all feature in a series of fun, ebullient colours. 'The concept of the Backstage Collection was to apply the expertise that you find backstage to make-up – think of it as a professional make-up artist giving you all the tools to apply your make-up at home.' shares Peter Philips, Christian Dior's Creative and Image Director. 'This new collection is far more delicious, and playful than anything we've built before,' he adds. The three-part collection is a nod to social media's fascination with glossy, glass skin textures and a resurgence of vibrant colour within make-up. The first is a Rosy Glow Stick which Philips explains reacts to the natural pH in your skin (resulting in either cool pink or warm coral undertones) and creates a beautiful wash of bespoke colour and a luminous glow. Dior has also expanded its lip range with a millennial-friendly Lip Glow Butter – this isn't the sticky, high-shine gloss of old, however; it's infused with skin-boosting peptides and nourishing squalane for long-lasting hydration. Finally - and already a firm favourite among the ELLE UK beauty team - Backstage Rosy Glow leaves a soft matte finish to skin, but unlike its counterparts, the formula adds a wash of colour that's hydrating and smooth. 'The Lip Glow Butters and blushers all react to your own pH; the aim here is to have a collection that's truly yours and a unique and personal formula for everyone,' shares Philips.

This New Video of Beyoncé's Daughter Rumi Shows Just How Much She's Grown on Tour
THE RUNDOWN Rumi Carter is gaining confidence each time she appears on her mom Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour—and her growth is especially clear in a video her grandmother Tina Knowles shared on July 13 from the Atlanta show. The 7-year-old joins her mom and big sister, Blue Ivy Carter, while Beyoncé sings 'Protector.' Rumi twirls as she steps out onstage, waves at the crowd, and later mouths the words 'I love you' to them. She beams when Bey tells everyone to 'give it up for Rumi.' The clip is adorable, and her grandmother couldn't contain her pride on Instagram. Knowles gushed about Rumi, writing, 'My grandbaby girl Rumi in Red ❤️' Watch the clip, which already has 535,000 views, in full below: Rumi has wanted to be onstage for years. In June, Tina told ELLE UK that Rumi began asking her mom during the 2023 Renaissance World Tour if she could join. 'Rumi, for the last tour, just every day, said, 'I want to go out there. I want to,'' Tina said. 'She wanted to experience it, too. And so Beyoncé is allowing her to do it this time. And I'm really happy about it, because she has fun out there. She gets to be a kid, and when she gets offstage, she's right back to being Rumi, the little kid, you know, the little 7-year-old, adorable.' In May, Tina noted that Rumi was learning from Blue, calling it 'big sis energy in training. 🥹' 'The way she watches Blue and mirrors her every move… you can tell she's taking notes,' Tina wrote. 'She doesn't just want to join the legacy…she wants to SLAY it too! Rumi said on last tour that she was ready to hit the stage. She learned choreography and was ready. I'm so happy to see her on stage with her mommy and her sister. She really did straight out there. One day she's gonna cut loose and walk down the runway one day you watch!! Rumi❤️❤️ is also a great songwriter already! She will be a force to be reckoned with just wait!❤️❤️'

'Too Much' London And Brooklyn Filming Locations: The Restaurants, Pubs And Areas You Can Actually Visit
Lena Dunham's latest rom-com offering, Too Much, has a lot going on; from leads Jess (Megan Stalter) and Felix's (Will Sharpe) messy love affair, her toxic relationship with her ex's new fiancé (ELLE UK's cover star, Emily Ratajkowski) a bursting-at-the-seams celebrity cameo list (Jessica Alba, Andrew Scott, Kit Harington, Alix Earle and more). While you may have found yourself wrapped up in the drama of it all, one of the show's main components is its many locations. As the series sees Jess move to London, the city takes centre stage, with many well-known boroughs, pubs and restaurants featuring throughout the series. Below, we detail all of the exact filming locations seen throughout the 10-part series. At the beginning of the series, Jess's expectations of London and where she'll be living almost immediately falter when she quickly realises that she'll be living in a housing estate rather than a large aristocratic countryside home. The interior and exterior for her flat was filmed in a flat on St Peter's Estate in Hackney. Shoreditch's town hall doubled as the location for Jess's visit to the hospital after accidentally setting herself on fire and the vet where her dog Astrid was treated. After facing disappointment due to the reality of her less-than-glamorous living situation and surroundings in London, a level of hope is restored for Jess in the eighth episode when she accompanies Felix and his friends to a wedding at a country house estate. The wedding was filmed at Englefield Estate in west Berkshire. Throughout the series, observant restaurant-goers will have noticed that the show features a number of restaurants based in and outside of London. Frizzante at Hackney City Farm, The Ivy House in Nunhead and The Ivy Richmond Brasserie all make appearances. While searching for a location to film the agency's Christmas ad, Jess and her co-workers find themselves in the scenic village of Hambleden, Buckinghamshire, along with Andrew Scott's pompous director. While at a pub called The Royal Standard in Beaconsfield, Jess has an awkward drink with Scott's director. Once again, Jess finds a moment to escape the realities of London and takes a trip to Notting Hill to see the area where the titular movie was filmed. In one scene, Jess poses outside 280 Westbourne Park Road as Felix takes a picture of her. On two occasions, we see Felix play gigs alongside his band: one in a flashback and the latter in present day. The former takes place at a record and book shop called Dash The Henge in Camberwell. The venue was inspired by Lena's husband, Felix, who has previously played several gigs there in the past. Felix's second gig in the series takes place at the fictional Hackney 'DonkeyFest', which actually takes place at Hackney City Farm. He plays with his band as Jess and the Pollys (three of Felix's close female friends) look on and get to know Jess. During a flashback, we see Jess's awkward run in with her ex-boyfriend Zev and his new fiancé, Wendy. The encounter takes place at Cuppa Hive Coffee, Brooklyn. After many privately recorded video messages to Wendy later, Jess finally meets her Zev's new fiancé in the final episode. The pair meet for a coffee, at a family-owned restaurant called Chambers, near Victoria Park. As another flashback takes place, we see how Jess and her then boyfriend Zev came to be. The pair first met at Alligator Lounge in Brooklyn, a well-known bar where guests can buy budget friendly drinks alongside free pizza.

Bandanas Are Summer 2025's Hottest Accessory - Here Are The Cutest Styles To Shop Now
What do Hailey Bieber, Alexa Chung, Timothée Chalamet and Gucci's AW25 runway all have in common? It's a jaunty bandana-style headscarf. Beloved by A-listers, influencers, editors and design houses alike, this 1990s does 1950s accessory is the styling trick you need to take your summer dress from snooze to snazzy. There are a few ways to style the square piece of fabric, be it in cotton (which offers better grip) or silk (feels a little more luxe). Chalamet opted for the Gucci AW25 approach - the most daring of the bandana on head styling options by far - by wearing his over a cap tied under his chin. Chung similarly went for the Queen Elizabeth II, Brigitte Bardot and Audrey Hepburn-approved under chin tie technique while on holiday. Though the British style star eschewed the cap accessory, she wore her navy bandana with a royal purple top, red shorts and a striped tote bag. If an under the chin tie feels a bit traditional, consider tying your headscarf over your hair and head. This feels like the most polished iteration of the look, and could take you into work with some oversized earrings and a shirt. We're partial to Bieber's more Nineties and Noughties styling technique of tying under your hair at the nape of your neck, adding some whimsy to your ensemble while still keeping things practical (perfect for keeping flyaways at bay). While you can pick up a vintage bandana or silk scarf with ease, brands like Miu Miu, Rejina Pyo and If Only If all have their own offerings in crochet, polka dots and more. If Only If's chocolate-hued, gingham iteration was a sellout style, with those in the know pairing it with their matching mini dress or mixing it up with other outfits during the UK's heatwave. 'Last summer when I was designing this year's spring summer styles, I really started to notice the trend of people wearing our nighties as daywear and I thought it would be lovely to add in a matching bit of kit that elevated their nighties-as-day-wear pieces,' If Only If's owner and creative director Emily Campbell told ELLE UK. 'Never one to shy away from a matchy moment, I went head first (excuse the pun) into our chocolate gingham dresses adding a matching headscarf with contrast ric-rac trim. I was tentative with the buy - would people feel the same way I did - would it all feel too Maria Von Trapp? Of course, I should not have worried. Our gingham headscarf was our first sell out style this summer. I know why; practical (windy hairs be gone) and cute. What more could you want?' We couldn't agree more.
