Also known as the Costume Institute Benefit or the Met Ball, it is a luxurious charity event held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The event first started as a simple dinner hosted by fashion publicist Eleanor Lambert in 1948, but later became what it is today by Diana Vreeland, the former editor of US Vogue.

Pearl jewellery is back (but not as you know it)
Jewellery designer Laura Vann often incorporates pearls into her sought-after pieces, and has recently created a pair of earrings that features irregular, elongated gems, as well as more traditional rounded shapes. 'Pearls are a timeless trend, so it's really about how they keep getting reinvented,' she says. 'Oversized styles are key, as they add a bold, sculptural element that feels fresh and modern.' At enduringly popular demi-fine jewellery brand Missoma, which still designs every piece in its Notting Hill studios, pearls are a permanent fixture. The most playful takes come to the fore in the brand's collaborations; partners have included fashion designer Harris Reed and, more recently, Paris-born brand Rouje. As for how to style the new pearl pieces, erring towards simplicity keeps things unstuffy and lets the gems speak for themselves. 'When it comes to styling, layering oversized pearls with clean lines and casual clothing like a leather jacket or a white tank top with jeans helps to break up a traditional feel,' says Vann. 'Equally, chunky pearl chokers look effortlessly cool with an open-collar shirt and sharp tailoring.' Just don't worry about what your grandmother would say. Under £100

How to really make your eyelashes stand out, according to celebrity make-up artists Lucy Bridge and Carolina Pizarro, with help from Chanel, Hourglass, La Mer, Sisley and Augustinus Bader products
Lashes are making a splash. On spring/summer 2025 runways, they caught the eye as they were transformed into attention-grabbing miniature sculptures. At Harris Reed, clumpy, exaggerated lashes channelled porcelain doll aesthetics, turning 'messy' into something mesmerising. The creative genius of make-up artist Lucy Bridge delivered a burst of surrealism at Dries Van Noten, with gravity-defying lashes in electric pinks and yellows. Meanwhile, Ganni's debut at Paris Fashion Week featured fluttery, ethereal lashes that practically floated off models' faces. Sisley Phyto-Noir Mascara. Photo: Handout Off the runway, mastering the fluttery lash look without lurching into chaos comes down to understanding your arsenal. Mascaras, like the lashes they transform, aren't created equal. Each formula offers its own kind of magic, and choosing the right one can mean the difference between runway-level drama and a clumpy, spider-lash misstep. Advertisement For those drawn to long, wispy elegance, lengthening mascaras are the ultimate enablers. 'They are packed with fibres, often nylon or rayon, and can latch onto lashes and stretch them to incredible proportions, creating an almost celestial effect,' says Los Angeles-based celebrity make-up artist Carolina Pizarro . Think extensions minus the glue. For bulking up volume, however, you need thick, high-impact formulas. 'Volumising mascaras can beef up lash lines with a more dramatic intensity, turning even the shortest lashes into a bold frame for the eyes,' Pizarro adds. Noir Allure by Chanel sits comfortably at the top of this category, balancing bold volume with a clump-free finish that feels luxurious and easy to apply. Chanel Noir Allure Mascara. Photo: Handout The quiet star of the lash revolution is tubing mascara: a technical marvel that coats each lash in polymer tubes for a polished yet natural-seeming look. Smudging, flaking and drooping are banished, leaving lashes fanned and flawless all day. Hourglass Unlocked Instant Extensions Mascara is a strong player, delivering the kind of salon-worthy finish that typically requires an appointment (and a good dose of patience). Best of all, removal is effortless as the product melts away with warm water – no need for tugging or tantrums. But the artistry doesn't stop at the formula. Even the most luxurious mascara is only as good as its application. Make-up artist Lisa Moore says a lash curler is non-negotiable, coaxing lashes into the perfect curve before a wand even enters the scene. 'The key here is precision. Starting at the roots, a quick squeeze locks in the curl,' she explains. From there, a mascara wand swept upwards in a zigzag motion ensures each lash is coated from base to tip while maintaining lift and separation. For extra drama, Moore recommends adding a second coat to the outer corners, creating a cat-eye effect that perfectly elongates and fans out lashes. Hourglass Unlocked Instant Extensions Mascara. Photo: Handout Nailing the fluttery lash requires walking a line between full, fabulous volume and the dreaded clump fest. For starters, that frantic pumping of the mascara wand needs to be retired. Not only does it invite air into the tube, drying out the formula, but it also turns a favourite mascara into a flaky nightmare. 'A gentle twist of the wand is all it takes to gather just the right amount of product. And when clumps inevitably appear, a clean spoolie brush is all you need to separate your lashes with more precision,' Pizarro says. Lower lashes, often an afterthought, deserve their moment, too. A light touch is key here, using the tip of the mascara wand to delicately coat them without overloading. For those serious about their lash game, a mascara specifically designed for lower lashes can make the difference, not to mention save under-eye concealer from unnecessary sabotage. 'Being patient is a must here. Allowing each coat to dry slightly before applying the next is a safe way to keep 'fluttery' from turning into 'sticky spider web' territory,' Pizarro suggests.

Muted London fashion week wraps up with Burberry show
London Fashion Week wraps up with Burberry sending its Autumn/Winter collection down the catwalk on Monday, capping off a relatively muted event in the rainy British capital. Brands are grappling with a reduced appetite for luxury products worldwide, while a slimmed-down schedule with several absentees have raised concerns about London Fashion Week's future. Still, there was room for spectacle -- from striking silhouettes in designer Harris Reed's opening show and hats made of glass by master milliner Stephen Jones. On the catwalks, the bubble skirt from the 1980s in several forms was one of the trends spotted. Meanwhile, Irish designer Sinead O'Dwyer set out to show all women can be sexy, no matter age and body type. Diversity was a common theme across many collections.

(Photo by BENJAMIN CREMEL / AFP) - Burberry - Hopeful fashionistas have been holding out for the biggest name of the week -- British megahouse Burberry -- which showcases its collection at 1900 GMT at the Tate Britain museum. The fashion giant famed for its trench coats and signature tartan print is going through a difficult period, and is the subject of rumours about the departure of its creative director. Daniel Lee arrived a little over two years ago and has tried to give the British mega-house a facelift. Lee could be replaced by English designer Kim Jones, who left Dior Men at the end of January after seven years, according to media reports. Burberry, which has been experiencing months of financial difficulty, began an "emergency" refocusing on its iconic products such as the famous trench coat late last year in a bid to stave off falling sales. Last month it announced a further decline in sales, hit by weak demand in China, but the troubled group was showing signs of recovery under new leadership and the decline was less severe than forecast. - Slipping behind - Despite the presence of renowned designers such as Simone Rocha and Richard Quinn, and promising stylists such as S.S. Daley and Harris Reed, several fashion experts said London Fashion Week was falling further behind Paris and New York every year. "There is a bit of a damp spirit, an empty feeling, to the London schedule at the moment," Daley told The Guardian newspaper before his show.

(Photo by BENJAMIN CREMEL / AFP) Caroline Rush, the director of the British Fashion Council which organises London Fashion Week, acknowledged it was "a particularly challenging time" for British brands. Brands have been dealt several blows following the pandemic, such as Brexit and last year's closure of the global luxury online platform Matches Fashion. This year's event is almost a day shorter than the previous Autumn-Winter 2024 fashion week, with several designers opting for a dinner or presentation instead of a pricier runway show. Buyers and influencers such as Beka Gvishiani of Style Not Com, an Instagram account that charts fashion news, did not make the trip, while Northern Irish designer Jonathan Anderson was also absent with his brand JW Anderson. Rush, who is organising her last London Fashion Week, said London Fashion Week remains "so relevant because ... we have so many small independent businesses, they need a platform to be able to show to reach global audiences." —AFP

The 5 stand-out London Fashion Week trends to know
London Fashion Week 2025 concluded last night with a star-studded Burberry show, which was as quintessentially British as you'd expect. The countryside capsule featured check, leather, tartan, suede and knitwear galore. Guests included Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham, Lauryn Hill, Kim Cattrall, Anna Wintour and Damien Lewis, while actor Richard Grant, Lesley Manville and Naomi Campbell swapped the front row for the runway. Unexpected celebrity cameos defined this season's shows. Florence Pugh conducted a theatrical monologue at Harris Reed on Thursday evening; Alexa Chung, Bel Powley and Fiona Shaw made an appearance on the Simone Rocha runway; Debi Mazar acted in a QVS-inspired skit at Completed Works; and Drag Race's Tayce and Bimini walked the Sinead Gorey and DiPesta's shows, respectively. Of the four big fashion weeks – Milan, Paris, New York and London – the UK capital was a markedly more muted affair this year. It lacked the influencer and A-Lister roll-call of the other weeks, while big-ticket names like JW Anderson and 16Arlington opted out of the schedule. But what it lost in viral moments, it made up for in unique, standout fashion from the city's best independent designers. Harris Reed's show was elevated and punk-inspired, featuring sculptural sheer pieces and semi-nude models in bird cages and corset gowns, while Sinead Gorey's facetious collection was a glorious walk of shame, with models eating KFC burgers, smoking cigarettes and holding chicken wings (guests even received a 'chicken cheque' in a paper goody bag). Elsewhere, Richard Quinn's winter wonderland paid homage to London, with the snowy scene lit by street lamplights and models wearing Georgian gowns in a profusion of Fifties and Sixties haute couture silhouettes. As always, Simone Rocha's A/W line was a blend of pieces born for both the runway and your wardrobe – think lace slip dresses, faux fur shawls, oversized cable knits and double-denim co-ords adorned with pearls. Roksanda – loved by The Princess of Wales – showcased its signature bold and offbeat colouring and draped, sculptural gowns, with added scarf detailing and cinched-in waists. Sinead O'Dwyer continues to be dedicated to a more inclusive image of fashion, sending a cast of women with various body types and disabilities down the runway in mini skirts, ripped tights and stomping boots. The London Fashion Week season has forecasted the trends we'll be shopping in autumn and winter (think Eighties-style tailoring and power dressing, tweed, polka dot and leather outerwear). But they're just as wearable this spring. To help curate your transitional wardrobe, these are the five trends to buy into now. Eighties-inspired power dressing The Eighties came calling this season, putting padded shoulders, exaggerated blazers, structured shirting and oversized trousers on the map for autumn/winter. Power dressing was seen all over the runways, from flowing white shirts and cinched-in blazers at Toga to Florence Pugh imploring us to 'be brave' and 'unapologetically you' in a Maleficent -esque gown at Harris Reed. Richard Quinn's take on occasionwear featured hourglass silhouettes with gigantic sleeves. Paul Costelloe made a case for strong shapes with elegant details by balancing broad shoulders with mini hemlines. The myriad of faux fur coats across the shows felt very Eighties too – Toga's boasted massive collars while Helen Anthony's were shaggy and maxi-length. To shop the trend now, try Aligne's viral Daphne blazer (£175, which boasts a fitted silhouette. For something more affordable, Zara's luxury-looking double-breasted style (£49.99, is perfectly oversized and androgynous. We'd recommend styling with H&M's bargain bootleg-style trousers (£24.99, Cos's pleated trousers (£118, or & Other Stories tailored trousers (£77, As for shirting, let this sub-£20 Oxford shirt form (£19.99, be the base of your outfits. Leather Leather in brown, burgundy and black appeared in nearly every form – from Noon by Noor's leather power skirt suit, Simone Rocha's oversized jackets and Burberry's trench coats. At Sinead Gorey, leather bustier dresses and halter neck unitards brought unapologetic party energy while Sinead O'Dwyer had a punk flavour, making a case for leather kilts and ripped tights. Elsewhere, a butter yellow leather trench from the SS Daley show is sure to be replicated across the high street, as is a pair of his burgundy leather slacks. For replicating Simone Rocha's runway looks, M&S's leather bomber (£225, or laidback jacket (£69, are both perfect. While River Island's leather A-line midi skirt (£42, is a nice take for the office. Kitri's vinyl coat (£220, is already doing the rounds on Instagram and would make a great alternative to Burberry's hero burgundy leather trench. Print Quiet luxury has been replaced by prints a gogo this season, with designers injecting a playful energy into their autumn/winter collections. Bora Aksu took inspiration from Empress Elisabeth of Austria for his gothic romantic show and put threaded polka dots, floral motifs and pinstripe through his characteristically delicate, fanciful collection. Meanwhile, Sinead Gorey's show was gloriously garish – pink check, lipstick motifs and tartan patterns were sent down the runway to house music. Though Burberry kept it classic with herringbone and tartan, Daniel Lee did inject colourful florals into his outerwear collection to brighten up the catwalk. For an easy and endlessly wearable take on the trend for spring, turn to Massimo Dutti's flowing check midi skirt (£119, or Zara's floaty tartan design (£59.99, Where polka dot is concerned, Ganni's maxi skirt (£345, will take you from your desk to dinner, but M&S's ruched maxi dress (£35, is quite possibly the best polka dot dress we've seen on the high street this season. Lace Whether layered at Bora Aksu, cut out at Simone Richa or draped at Jawara Alleyne, lace is set to return to our wardrobes come autumn. Richard Quinn used the romantic fabric in sheer, head-turning gowns while Simone Rocha featured lace panelling in her signature silky, slip dresses. Kate Moss's favourite vintage supplier Annie's Ibiza plumped for Renaissance-inspired lace sleeves and necklines, while Sinead Gorey took it back to basics with lace lingerie under a dramatic cape. It couldn't be easier to inject lace into your current capsule wardrobe. Bimba Y Lola's panelled lace maxi skirt (£80, wouldn't look out of place on the Simone Rocha mood board while Miista's lace maxi dress (£108, can be thrown over black lingerie or a slip dress for a Richard Quinn-esque evening look. Meanwhile, Susamusa's black lace shirt (£90, and Free People's white lace long-sleeve style are stellar layering pieces (£32, Textures From the dominance of faux fur coats and shaggy outerwear at the likes of Toga, Helen Anthony and Sinead Gorey to suede at Burberry and ELV Denim, London Fashion Week is your sign to add texture to your wardrobe. Chunky knits are also on the agenda, thanks to SS Daley (the 'Stay FaithFul to Marrianne' style – a homage to the late Marianne Faithfull – is sure to be a bestseller) and Simone Rocha, while fabric spikes at Harris Reed and studded leather at Sinead Gorey were anything but boring. H&M's textured shirt (£22.99, is an elevated high street take on the trend while Cos's fringed jumper (£135, and M&S textured crew neck jumper (£35, are transitional hero pieces you'll turn to all year round. When it comes to injecting faux-furt into your outerwear collection, you can't go wrong with this Zara faux fur coat (£135, or River Island's oversized Mongolian coat (£50,
