Blake Lively Brings a Rainbow Twist to the Skirt Suit Trend
If there's two things Blake Lively loves, it's Chanel and a novelty bag. Sometimes it's a sheer and sweet white midi dress, a sherbet sequin gown, or that classic tweed skirt suit in a litany of colors and fluffs. Othertimes it's a pizza-shaped bag, a crystal peony ball clutch, or a bejewelled crossbody number from her beloved Judith Leiber. This time, Lively combines both in a sunshiney, summer in the city look. Photographed yesterday (June 10) on the streets of New York with a friend, the Another Simple Favor actor outfitted herself in an aforementioned staple, the Chanel tweed skirt suit. This time, Lively gave the set a bright and bold twist, opting for a fluffy rainbow jacket and skirt from Chanel's Cruise collection. The skirt suit has had somewhat of a Gen-Z re-evaluation, of recent—an officewear staple of the '80s revived by the likes of Lily-Rose Depp, in the ladylike fashions of Mikey Madison, with vintage numbers for Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner, and a padded shoulder Calvin Klein set offering for Daisy Edgar-Jones. Lively, a face of Chanel, has long had a penchant for the French house's tweedy co-ords, bringing her own personal touches to the C-suite silhouette. And as Lively likes to do in styling herself, for this look, she added a legion of eclectic accessories. She reached for a pale blue beaded Susan Alexandra bag adorned with 3D cherries, and added sparkly blue peeptoe heels, as well as two chunky charm necklaces and multiple gold hoop earrings.

The Blake Lively self-styled wardrobe teems with color, texture, and unexpected accessories. Following the news that It Ends With Us actor and director Justin Baldoni's defamation case against her and her husband Ryan Reynolds was dismissed, Lively appeared at Chanel's Tribeca Festival Artists Dinner in good spirits and wearing a sweet crochet midi dress and pearly pumps, adding a bedazzling Chanel Scarab Minaudière from the house's Karl Lagerfeld-designed 2019 Métiers d'Art show in Egypt, and a more casual blue chore jacket draped over her shoulders. Now free of any press tour, Lively can enjoy some relaxed, summer in New York dressing—donning Chanel ambassador tweeds and picking up whatever novelty accessory that catches her eye next.

Why labubu dolls, Disney cartoons have entered the adult wardrobe
Gift this article Open up a social media feed, and you are bombarded with blink-and-you-miss-it trends. There is one quirky movement, though, that's been enjoying a fan following among the stylish for months—the cuddly toy. Look around you—a small doll with a mischievous smile might be strapped to a work bag or a cartoon-ish motif is adding a pop of colour to a shirt in an office. Even mobile phones are getting more personality thanks to anime-inspired charm bracelets and covers. Cutesy toys and figurines in various shapes, sizes and colours from a child's world have entered the wardrobes of grown-ups.

Even mobile phones are getting more personality thanks to anime-inspired charm bracelets and covers. Cutesy toys and figurines in various shapes, sizes and colours from a child's world have entered the wardrobes of grown-ups. Fashion is tapping into 'toycore"—the marriage of fashion and cuddlies. While luxury brands like Miu Miu, Judith Leiber and Hermès have long launched toy-centric charms and bags, more designers and fast-fashion brands are offering their interpretations in clothes. Earlier this month, designer Kanika Goyal launched a limited edition collection in collaboration with Disney, aimed at adding the playfulness of Mickey Mouse and his friends to adult fashion that's fit for office, a brunch as well as an evening party. There's a two-tone jacket in denim blue and beige cotton to create concentric circles shaped like Mickey Mouse's ears that are filled with embroidery—pop culture meets streetwear. 'Disney characters are part of a shared global imagination. I grew up with them too—they weren't just cartoons. Childhood motifs act like emotional codes," Goyal says. 'We're living in a moment where people are looking for meaning and emotion in what they wear." Besides the nostalgic value and the playfulness, the other big pull of toycore fashion is the opportunity to tell the world about your personal style or current mood. One of the best-sellers of the latest collection in Kazo, a Delhi-based occasionwear fashion brand, is a white-purple striped formal shirt with prints of Bambi and Thumper. Also read: The latest trend in fashion: a show venue that tells a story 'We were also a bit surprised to learn that people are interested in a formal shirt with a cartoon than a casual T-shirt," says creative director Divya Aggarwal. Her guess is the growing confidence among consumers to wear 'conversation-starter pieces that speak of their mood and help them stand apart." Bambi and Thumper Kazo shirt Priyanka Sanghi, founder of Hair Drama Co., a homegrown luxury hair accessories boutique, offers a more detailed answer. 'Why would someone pick a charm shaped like a donut over one that's in the shape of an ice-cream? Your choice basically reflects your state of mind. Even an old bag becomes new if you add a small doll to the handle," she says. Hair Drama Co. founder Priyanka Sanghi's charms hat Her brand started offering charms over a year ago, given their rising popularity. Today, she has over 400 types of charms that can be customised for hats, hair accessories, bracelets and everything in between. In a month, they sell at least 100 charms, shaped like Barbie, palm trees, bags, cartoon characters, chillies and more. Almost half of their clients buy for themselves; the rest, for their children. 'The cartoon/toy vibe has been around for a while—look at those colourful Japanese ice-cream parlours, China's boba bars, Korea's ramen cafes. What's changed now is that toys have become mainstream. The current trend around labubus is crazy." Labubus are the viral China-made little Nordic elves with mischievous grins that many, like Sanghi, say led to the toycore fashion mania. The likes of David Beckham, Dua Lipa and Jahnvi Kapoor are all proud owners of labubus. So is Sanghi, who owns eight of them. 'It makes me feel like a child," says Sanghi, who turns 40 this year. 'I might be feeling a little down but a sight of a labubu (an original costs around ₹ 800, but can fetch up to ₹ 1 lakh on reseller sites) will instantly cheer me up; it's like having a pet. My friends are buying clothes for them." A labubu bag party in Delhi At a time when the news of war and global warming is keeping the world on edge, it's not a stretch to imagine that a cute-looking fluff ball can offer some comfort, even if momentarily. 'It's like a permission to not take everything so seriously," Goyal says. 'It speaks to a quiet, collective urge to hold on to the parts of ourselves that are still curious and unfiltered, especially in a world that's constantly asking us to be composed and contained. And there's something incredibly comforting about wearing a piece that brings you back to a simpler time, even momentarily."
