Bangles Are the Accessory All The Cool Girls Can't Stop Wearing
It's no secret that accessories can make or break an outfit. Sometimes it doesn't matter whether you're in a crisp white tee or a full head-to-toe look, the right jewellery can instantly transform your style. And right now, there's one piece stealing the spotlight: bangles. The once-beloved 70s accessory is experiencing a full revival, perfectly aligned with fashion's current obsession with maximalism. This season, everything is louder, punchier, and bolder than ever, from the return of printed jeans (credit to Roberto Cavalli for leading the charge) to the rise of 'ugly shoes' like Vibram Five Fingers, Camper Kobarahs, and Givenchy's chunky Marshmallow slides. In this moment, minimal jewellery simply fades into the background; it's the statement pieces that take centre stage. Of course, bangles have never really been out of fashion, but if you need inspo for how to style yours now, turn to the 1970s, where arm candy was often stacked in multiples, jangling with every movement - a visual and audible celebration of more-is-more styling. That playful energy is exactly what's fuelling their comeback today. It helps that some of the world's most influential style setters are firmly on board. Dua Lipa stacked chunky resin bangles with her white bikini and shorts while on holiday, proving they work just as well ocean as they do in the city. Bella Hadid has been spotted layering them with bohemian prints and low-slung denim, channelling a laid back vibe. Influencers are following suit, showing off resin, enamel, and tortoiseshell styles in everything from streetwear edits to breezy vacation looks. ©@dualipa, @solelamalila, @6kenza, @cinziabayliszullo The best part? You don't need a designer budget to get involved. High street retailers are offering plenty of statement styles for under £20, making bangles one of the easiest and most affordable ways to elevate your look. We say this to say, bangles are the perfect way to tap into the maximalist mood of the season. Loud, fun, and unapologetically bold - they're the jewellery trend that refuses to be overlooked.

Why the super-rich are downsizing their handbags
It was a moment so scathingly accurate that it slipped easily into everyday fashion lexicon. Succession 's Tom Wambsgans (played by Matthew Macfadyen) launching an unforgettable takedown of an unwelcome guest's 'ludicrously capacious' Burberry tote in the fourth series of the satirical drama. A big bag, Wambsgans made clear, was an unmistakable sign of a class interloper. This is a message Lauren Sánchez Bezos looks to have taken to heart, if recent photographs of her on a sojourn to the south of France are anything to go by. Out and about in Cap d'Antibes with her husband Jeff Bezos, the newly-wed wore a bias-cut, cowl-neck dress from Roberto Cavalli's spring/summer 2001 collection, which featured bold shades of blue, pink and chartreuse. But more striking than the psychedelic print was the bag she carried – a micro Lady Dior, which looks like it wouldn't hold much more than a lipstick. The now sold-out limited edition piece, featuring a Rêve d'Infini motif from Dior's 2022 collaboration with artist Pietro Ruffo, retailed for more than £11,000. But even for those unaware of the inversely proportional size-to-price ratio, the inference is clear: Mrs Bezos doesn't need to carry anything around with her. It was a point she also seemed to make earlier this year in LA, armed with a £4,350 Balenciaga calfskin clutch shaped like a coffee cup. Intended to speak volumes through its meagre size, the inconveniently small bag seems to be becoming a strange trophy of the super-rich. 'We see micro-bags as the ultimate flex,' says Matt Heiman, the founder of luxury handbag subscription service, Cocoon. 'They're not about utility, but about projecting a certain kind of ease – the idea that you don't need to carry anything because everything is handled.' At the Bezos wedding in Venice, the Kardashians were pictured taking this to a new extreme; while they carried only an iPhone or Chanel Mini Hoop bag, one of their fleet of bodyguards carried an overspill Hermès Birkin. The micro bag has had various moments on the catwalk too, from Jacquemus debuting its two-inch Le Mini Chiquito in 2019 to Coperni's 2024 unveiling of the Air Swipe, a bag made almost entirely of air (and 1 per cent NASA-backed 'Aerogel'). O ther notably small creations include the micro version of Miu Miu's matelassé Nappa leather Wander bag, and a confusing recent swathe of bag-shaped bag charms that ask, why not add a 'Nano Baguette' keyring to your Fendi bag? The new status symbol Entertaining fashion moments aside, the tiny tote might be losing something of its power as a stealth wealth stunt. These days, the marker of a certain kind of 'old money aesthetic' proliferating on social media is more likely to be a beaten up leather tote, an overspilling Margaux bag from The Row or anything modelled on Jane Birkin carrying the original Hermès style named after her. That bag, which its inspiration famously adorned with charity stickers, bohemian beads and bag charms, recently sold for more than £7.4m. For further evidence, see Kate Moss recently making fashion headlines for using her insouciantly scuffed calfskin Hermès Kelly as a beach bag in Ibiza – the direct opposite of the Sánchez approach. Free-spirited personalisation has re-emerged as a trend in recent years, and there's been a notable swing back towards roomier bags beyond multi-million Hermès pieces. 'We've seen a natural shift towards totes and more structured shapes on the runways in recent seasons at Miu Miu, La Maire and The Row,' says Olivia von Christierson, Net-A-Porter's buying manager . 'Micro bags have been a long standing trend, but realistically, they often mean carrying multiple bags to fit essentials, including a laptop. While style remains key, practicality is becoming increasingly important to customers.' It's a similar case among those renting bags, according to Heiman. 'We've seen a noticeable shift in recent months,' he says. 'While micro and mini bags are still popular for events, we're seeing a resurgence in demand for larger, functional styles – think roomy totes from Bottega and Loewe.' This has reached the high street too, with oversized styles dominating the shelves of brands with a finger on the fashion pulse – Cos, M&S and Reformation, to name but three. It's good news for anyone tired of carrying around a second bag filled with the daily drudgery of Tupperware and trainers, without a Birkin butler to assist. For those who still delight in a little bag, the key might lie in rejecting the micro trophy in favour of something small but sensibly formed. For inspiration, see the Princess of Wales carrying DeMellier's Nano Montreal handbag, Keira Knightley toting vintage Chanel and Naomi Watts carrying Prada's Mini Bucket Bag. Unashamedly embracing a little silliness with a quirky statement piece is another option – accessories designer Lulu Guinness is an expert in that field. 'People tend to hold their phones separately, or on a chain like me, so the bag can be tiny and more fun,' she says. 'The smaller, the better.' Tom Wambsgans, for one, would agree.

‘Like tracksuit pants': The jeans Bella Heathcote can't live without
This story is part of the August 3 edition of Sunday Life. See all 13 stories. Each week, we quiz a prominent person about their style and the inspiration behind it. Ahead, actor Bella Heathcote. How would you describe your style? It's somewhere between five-year-old girl, teenage boy and occasionally their mother who's chic and dressed appropriately. What's the oldest thing in your wardrobe? I was only 12 when Mum died, and I inherited some of her clothing: incredible suits and designer pieces that at the time I could never imagine wearing. I recently wore a gold Roberto Cavalli dress [of hers] to my friend Phoebe Tonkin's wedding in New York City. I feel protected when I wear something of my mum's; it's a good luck talisman. And the most recent addition? A Moschino x Candy Crush backpack from 2017 that I bought on The RealReal. It's tacky and fantastic. What would you wear … on a first date? What I wear on any given day: a button-down shirt and jeans with a loafer. … on a plane? A white tee, vintage men's Levi's jeans, an oversized denim jacket, a silk scarf and sneakers. … on the red carpet? The gold Saint Laurent dress I wore to the Fifty Shades Darker premiere in 2017 was incredible. Loading What's your favourite fashion era? The 1970s, '80s and '90s all have something: high-waisted jeans, big shoulder pads, a good blazer. Who's your favourite designer? If I love something, I love it whether it's Saint Laurent or from a random op shop. Having said that, I do love what Alessandro Michele did at Gucci. Lee Mathews does a great shirt, and if I want to look good for an event, Zimmermann will have something for me. What's your fragrance of choice? 'Air' perfume oil by Bodha. I also love their incense.

Lindsay Lohan's Freakier Friday press tour looks: from Balmain to Jacquemus
Lindsay Lohan is officially back. The former teen star appears alongside Jamie Lee Curtis and Chad Michael Murray in new film Freakier Friday – the sequel to the 2003 hit Freaky Friday – and she's been making a series of stunning sartorial statements on her press tour. She even wore two looks paying homage to her iconic dual role of Annie James and Hallie Parker in 1993's The Parent Trap. Cue the nostalgia. Lindsay Lohan's Roberto Cavalli look was a nod to her character Hallie Parker in 1993 film The Parent Trap. Photo: @fotogramas_es/Instagram For her Live with Kelly & Mark appearance on July 28, Lohan wore the chinoiserie-inspired Oriental Bird print dress from Roberto Cavalli's pre-fall 2025 collection layered under a matching bustier. The look perfectly captured Hallie Parker's rebellious spirit – and the pink cheongsam-style dress she wore in the film's final scene. Lohan finished her modern-day look with a Cavalli Roar bag and Khaite x Oliver Peoples sunglasses. Advertisement The Balmain Resort 2026 look Lindsay Lohan wore to appear on Good Morning America recalled an outfit worn by her character Annie James in The Parent Trap. Photo: @fotogramas_es/Instagram Earlier in the day, Lohan wore a yellow tweed miniskirt and jacket from Balmain's resort 2026 line that brilliantly recalled Annie James' polished style in the movie. Diehard film buffs might even say the outfit echoed another '90s classic – that famous yellow plaid skirt suit Alicia Silverstone wore as Cher in Clueless. These two outfits, which channel the twin characters Lohan famously portrayed nearly three decades ago, were the brainchild of stylist Andrew Mukamal, who is known for his narrative-driven dressing – as seen on Margot Robbie's Barbie press tour . His skilful nods to Lohan's cinematic past have created a forceful blend of nostalgia and contemporary fashion as she promotes her new film. Here's what else Lindsay Lohan wore during her Freaky Friday press run. Custom rock chic look while off duty in New York While out in New York on July 28, Lindsay Lohan sported a custom T-shirt that paid tribute to her fictional band from Freakier Friday. Photo: @fotogramas_es/Instagram On the same day that she wore those nostalgic looks, Lohan appeared in New York City wearing a custom T-shirt referencing Pink Slip, the fictional band in Freakier Friday. She paired the simple top with a black leather miniskirt and belt, Balenciaga heels and accessories from Cartier, Hermès and Jessica McCormack for the ultimate rock chic look.

"Roberto Cavalli is not for sale" says owner as it moves to quash speculation
There have been rumours lately that the Roberto Cavalli business is up for sale but its owner quashed them with an official statement on Thursday. See catwalk Owner DAMAC Group, said it was 'addressing recent speculation in the press about Roberto Cavalli ' and wanted to give a 'clear assurance about the future of the business'. It added: 'Since acquiring the Roberto Cavalli business in 2019, DAMAC have invested significantly in the growth and success of the company. Roberto Cavalli is not for sale. As before, we remain interested in strategic partners who can add value to the business.' The statement came after the company last month said it was assessing the 'strategic partnerships' referred to in today's statement as part of its growth options as Italian media began to speculate about a potential sale. Cavalli has faced the same challenges that have hit the rest of the luxury sector in recent years but has been busy this year opening new boutiques and launching regular collections as well as collaborations. This year alone those new stores have included Ibiza, Dubai Mall and Los Angeles, while collabs have included SKIMS and LeSportsac. Launched in 1970, the label's founder died a little over a year ago. The company had been bought just before the pandemic by DAMAC, which is a multi-billion-dollar business conglomerate founded and headquarted in the UAE by Hussain Sajwani. The parent company also invests in luxury real estate, capital markets, hotels/resorts, manufacturing, catering, and data centres.
