Open up Instagram right now and you'll see any fashion person with an appreciation for minimalist and timeless designs wearing the same pair of sandals.

They're easy to slip on with just about anything from jeans and a white linen shirt to poplin midi dresses, with the sleek silhouette and now-iconic 'H' cut-out detail elevating even the simplest of outfits. (Yes, even shorts and a swimsuit.) View this post on Instagram A post shared by Valeria (@ The Oran sandals are made by hand in Italy, available in 34 colours, from the classic tan shade to more brighter options such as a coral orange and fuchsia pink, and have become a cult purchase despite their designer hefty price tag (a pair retails between £610 and £1,120).

The 34 Top Spring 2025 Makeup Launches
Sisley Paris Cloud Color A new season is a good excuse to refresh your makeup bag. While there are always classics like new mascaras, blushes and bases, spring 2025 makeup is all about lips. The category is flooded with new hybrid options that straddle the line between skincare and makeup. Think lip masks that deliver color too, lipgloss and lip oil combos and balms that go beyond nourishment with mega-watt shine and color. These are the best new makeup launches for spring 2025. YSL Loveshine Plumping Lip Oil Gloss Think big—a bigger tube, a bigger wand and bigger lips. This plumping gloss delivers fuller looking lips with spicy ginger oil and hyaluronic acid to hydrate. Lips are left extra juicy, soft, smooth and a little shimmery. $40, Burberry Beyond Wear Setting & Refining Powder Burberry Makeup makes its stateside return with its Beyond Wear collection that spans face, eye and lip products and pays homage to gabardine, the famous fabric of the Burberry trench coat. Trench Protect Technology is infused in every product to deliver antioxidant and antipollution ingredients that protect from weather while making it comfortable to wear. The Beyond Wear Setting & Refining Powder is a pressed powder that keeps skin matte for up to 24 hours and has a soft-focus effect to blur. Bamboo extract zaps excess oil and the light coverage is buildable; it can be worn solo or to lock in foundation. It comes in four flexible shades to cover all the bases. $58, Westman Atelier Sun Tone Bronzing Drops No tan? No problem. Get beautifully bronzed sans any skin damage with this liquid bronzer that delivers just a tint of color.

Available in four shades, it moisturizes too, with carrot oil and a prebiotic moisturizing complex. $58, Sisley Paris Cloud Color Whether you wear it on your lips or cheeks—or both for a monochromatic effect—this velvety mousse indeed feels like a cloud on skin. Go soft and subtle or build it up to a pop of bold color with all three shades with a matte powder finish: Tawny, a deep nude; Rosy, a fresh pink; and Berry, a raspberry. $66, Valentino Puffer Gloss If a lipgloss and a lip oil had a baby, it would be this new Valentino hybrid. Blending the best of both worlds, it features the proprietary Valentino Puffer Complex to immediately plump lips in all seven shades. Hyaluronic acid, ceramides and vitamin E provide major moisture. $38, Hermés Rouge Brilliant Silky Lipstick Gregoris Pyrpylis, the creative director of Hermès Beauty, looked to the luster of the brand's famous silk scarves for inspiration for their latest lipstick. Each shade leaves a veil of shimmering color behind and the palette features beiges, reds and pinks that are all buildable from sheer to bold. Pierre Hardy, creative director of Hermès Beauty objects, designed the striking refillable tube. $77, Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Beauty Soulmates Face Palette The jewel-adorned heart-shaped palette is incredibly charming—and so is what's inside. There's a color correcting shade of the popular Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder and a Pillow Talk Powder Blush. Available in two shades—a pink and a peach—it'll help you ace your base. Use the Airbrush Flawless Finish powder under the eyes and anywhere else you'd like to lift, brighten and color correct, then apply the blush to the apples of the cheeks up along the cheekbones. $52, Trinny London Trinity Quite the jet-setter herself, Trinny knows the importance of multitasking beauty products that travel well. Trinity will be the MVP of your carry-on. The dual-ended stick has a glowy shade on one side and a complimentary creamy matte on the other and can be used on lips, eyes and cheeks.

6 new jewellery launches this spring: Hermès and Cartier top our wish list – the former clearly with the classic Birkin bag in mind, while the latter's motifs are all animal-inspired
Spring heralds renewal in nature and that sense is felt too in jewellery, with many brands picking up on the optimism in the air to issue a revamped annual collection perhaps, or find a favourite motif to revisit. Read on to find out how six jewellery houses are marking this spring. Nature is, of course, the muse most had in mind, but there are also some more left-field inspirations and interpretations as well. Hermès Sac Bijou Hermès Sac Bijou. Photo: Handout Advertisement Hermès handbags are the holy grail when it comes to luxury collectibles that stand the test of time. And this one-of-a-kind creation is inspired by one of the maison's signatures: the Birkin. Named Sac Bijou, this 'jewel bag' is from the maison's high jewellery collection, Les Formes de la Couleur, which 'expresses colour in shapes', as Pierre Hardy, creative director of Hermès Jewellery, interprets it. Cartier Trinity bands Cartier Trinity pieces are embellished with motifs drawn from the brand's signature animals. Photo: Handout Cartier's Trinity range, known for its three interlocking bands, celebrated its 100th anniversary last year with new designs that turned the circular bands into squares, reinventing an icon. This year, the brand unveils pieces embellished with motifs reminiscent of Cartier's signature animals: the panther, the tiger and the snake . Reptile scales appear on the white gold band, while panther spots and tiger stripes in black lacquer adorn the yellow and rose gold bands. Pascale Monvoisin Marcel collection Pascale Monvoisin Marcel lighter-inspired bracelet.

The label's trademark symbol appears as a clasp in chain bracelets and necklaces, and even as a pendant that can function as a chic keepsake holder.

Style Edit: Hermès' new high jewellery collection, Les Formes de la Couleur, translates Pierre Hardy's take on colour theory into wearable art featuring diamonds, emeralds, rubies and sapphires
For Hermès, colour has always been a language of its own – woven into silks, painted onto leather and wrapped around its most coveted designs . But for the first time in the house's history, that mastery of colour takes centre stage in high jewellery. The new Hermès haute bijouterie collection, Les Formes de la Couleur, is a bold, kaleidoscopic exploration of light and form, where emeralds, rubies, sapphires and diamonds – green, red, blue and white – are transformed into something entirely new. Supracolor necklace. Photo: Handout 'This collection expresses colour in shapes,' says Pierre Hardy, creative director of Hermès Jewellery. 'I wanted to build a strong, autonomous and independent identity.' That vision unfolds across a series of striking, sculptural pieces, where geometry and colour theory meet the craftsmanship of haute joaillerie. Advertisement Color Icons double ring. Photo: Handout Hardy, who studied colour theory at university, revisited it with a fresh perspective, using it as the foundation for designs that challenge how we see jewellery. In the Portraits de la Couleur chapter, rubies are structured into perfect squares, while sapphires form deep blue circles and beryls become bright yellow triangles. 'If red is square, what is that square saying?' Hardy muses. 'It could remind you of a superhero's emblem, a work of art, a memory.' Hermès Diaprés necklace. Photo: Handout Beyond structure, the collection plays with texture and movement. The Fresh Paint pieces feature the illusion of brushstrokes on canvas, with precious and semi-precious stones forming fluid, painterly patterns in rich gradients. In Arc en Couleurs, articulated bracelets and necklaces shimmer with subtle colour transitions – one necklace features nearly 1,400 individually selected stones to achieve its seamless spectrum. Designed to mould to the body's curves, these pieces feel as much like wearable art as jewellery. 'I wanted to explore the whole spectrum,' Hardy explains. 'Rather than stifling diversity, I wanted to celebrate it.' Arc en Couleurs bracelet. Photo: Handout There's also an element of science at play, with pieces designed to capture the effects of light diffraction. The Supracolor necklace, a hypnotic, architectural piece, uses rutilated quartz as a prism, revealing hidden rays of colour beneath its surface; while Hermès Diaprés contrasts emerald-cut diamonds and sapphires with iridescent mother-of-pearl, the gems glowing softly against intricate settings. Meanwhile, Color Flash takes a modern approach, with pavé-set, pixelated compositions of vividly coloured stones appearing almost like a digital screen frozen in time. Color Flash bracelet. Photo: Handout This collection marks a shift in the way Hermès approaches haute bijouterie – bold, experimental and entirely unafraid of colour. It's jewellery that doesn't just decorate but sparks conversation. 'I wanted to express a lot of ideas at the same time,' Hardy says. 'It's possible to want different things all at once.' If this is what colour at Hermès looks like, the possibilities are endless.
