My Most Complimented Dress Is From This High Street Brand - And It Looks Designer
Dress season is finally within arm's reach, and while we're sure you've already bookmarked some of your favourite spring dresses, let's be honest - there's truly no such thing as too many. We've already waxed lyrical about the hidden gems at H&M and Zara, but I've just unearthed a new treasure trove of affordable, high quality finds from an unexpected high street hero. Enter: Next, whose dresses have emerged as my surprising go-to for the season. The brand's dress game has quietly levelled up, but the style I can't stop wearing? The Bandeau Midi Dress, a drop-waist style that nails alfresco style without even trying. Already loved by the fashion crowd, Next's bandeau midi has gained plenty of popularity, courtesy of its simple yet chic navy and white colour block design, and on-trend drop-waist style. Made from a soft-to-the-touch cotton fabric, it'll keep you cool once the weather turns balmy, making it a non-negotiable suitcase staple for the kind of summer holidays that consist only of poolside lounging come daytime and dinner plans come evening - with an Aperol Spritz on standby, of course. 1. Next, Bandeau Jersey Woven Mix Midi Dress - Navy Contrast Add this drop waist midi to your dress rotation for the fast approaching summer. This one-and-done midi makes summer dressing a walk in the park, with the only thing left to consider being your choice of kitten heels and accessories (a Y2K-style bangle should do the trick when it comes to jewellery). But that doesn't mean you can't wear it for every day occasions - just pair with trainers for a more laid-back look, or opt for toe-ring sandals for a slightly more put together ensemble. With drop-waist dresses emerging as one of 2025's biggest dress trends, it's no surprise this Next number has quickly risen to the top of fashion editor wish lists. The silhouette first made waves during the SS24 runway shows, where Ferragamo sent out pleated drop-waist minis and Jil Sander paired full skirts with clean, ribbed tank tops. Now, the look has filtered onto the high street, with more affordable brands like Next and COS embracing the trend across everything from minis to flowing maxi dresses - proving the drop waist is as timeless as it is stylish. So, if you're looking to invest in a versatile summer staple that taps into one of the season's biggest trends without compromising on comfort or wearability, this Next dress is it. Shop it now before it inevitably sells out. 2. Next, Bandeau Jersey Woven Mix Midi Dress - Yellow 3.

Katie Holmes Experimented With the Peekaboo Bra Trend in a Strapless LBD
Katie Holmes is extending her run on Broadway with another strapless LBD that verifiably stole the spotlight at the Barrymore Theatre for the highly anticipated premiere of Othello. Stepping out on Sunday evening, the Dawson's Creek alum looked impossibly chic in a black column gown courtesy of Khaite. Simple yet elegant, the dress cleverly tapped into the peekaboo bra trend with a contrasting fabrics on the bust and bodice that offered just a hint of edge. She paired the look with strappy black "Bella" heels and a Y2K-style baguette crocodile-embossed purse also from the New York brand. When it came to beauty, Holmes embraced her hair's natural wave and opted for minimal makeup with a coral lip. Her minimalist jewelry came courtesy of Tabayer. Although Holmes wasn't in this production, the star is no stranger to Broadway. Earlier this year, the actress took her final bow with her castmates in Our Town, which closed at the Barrymore on January 19. Her daughter, Suri Noelle, took a break from university to cheer on her mom from the audience. It was Holmes's first role on stage since she played Lorna in Dead Accounts. As for Othello? The premiere was a star-studded event by any measure, with the likes of Jill Biden, Jennifer Lopez, and Jamie Lee Curtis also in attendance. The play stars Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal as Othello and Iago, and quickly became the highest-grossing Broadway play of all time after it earned $2.8 million in a single week. "It's the most excited I've been this century," Washington told CBS News. "Seriously. I haven't been this excited about anything I've done as I am about this." Read the original article on InStyle

Y2K crimping is coming back, according to fashion week runways
Chet Lo brought back Y2K crimping at London Fashion Week, steering away from the hyper-natural hair trends of the moment, and leaning into style nostalgia. The Asian-American designer, known for his clashing textural designs, collaborated with celebrity hairstylist Anna Cofone and Authentic Beauty Concept to create a textbook Noughties look. Cofone combined pin-straight hair with uniform crimps, creating a quintessentially Y2K look for Lo's autumn/winter 2025 collection. 'The inspiration for today's look is very much a continuation of patterns and panels,' said Cofone, 'we wanted to mimic the patterns in Chet's clothes, so we've got these cool, crimped panels appearing at the back of the model's hair and on some of the sides.' As for the products, the goal was to look shiny and slick, so Cofone used Authentic Beauty Concept's hair balms and glow serums to calm any flyaways and add that Y2K-style shine. While flat and shiny hairstyles are reminiscent of the early Noughties, crimping also recalls the trends of the Eighties, which have been observed on this season's runways. 'I think it's great that it's got this reference to the Eighties,' says Cofone. 'Do I think [crimping] is going to come back? I think people can definitely play with crimps and see what shape they get – for sure.' The nostalgic crimped hair was the perfect accessory for the low-rise skirts and asymmetric tops that flooded this season's runway – ushering the return of early 2000s fashion – much to Gen Z's happiness.

L.A. County sheriff's computer dispatch system crashes again
For the second time in just over a month, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's computer dispatch system crashed on Wednesday evening, rendering patrol car computers unusable and forcing deputies once again to handle calls by radio. Previously, the 38-year-old computer-aided dispatch system — known as CAD — went down on New Year's Eve, when a Y2K-style glitch was 'not allowing personnel to log on with the new year," according to the department. Three days later, the department said a "temporary fix" got the system back up and running. This time around, it was not immediately clear what caused the system failure or how long it would take to repair. Read more: 'Our own little Y2K': L.A. County sheriff's computer dispatch system still down As before, other systems — including body cameras, 911 lines and department emails — are still functioning. Deputies are still able to respond to calls, though they can't run license plates or background checks from their patrol cars. 'Now, the call takers have to write down all the information for each call, and then the dispatch has to voice all the details and the patrol unit has to write it all down,' one deputy explained when the system crashed before. 'They don't have the ability to run people or plates. They can't pull report numbers to give to people, so they have to call dispatch.' Early last month, the department said it had been in the process of trying to upgrade the dispatch system for some time, and that it had issued a request for proposals for a new CAD system in mid-2023. The department also said then that it was still evaluating options and that testing of one potential system was slated to begin imminently.
