This Week's Hottest Stories


From beauty must-haves to red-carpet style, check out the biggest fashion, beauty and celebrity happenings of the week...

The week began with the CFDA Awards in New York. The industry hurrah honouredProenza Schouler, Alexander Wang andMarc Jacobs, but we were more interested in the designers’ model dates than the acceptance speeches.

As fashion feted its highest achievers, the industry also boosted its youngest entrants. A crop of young London designers received NEWGEN sponsorship, and the industry crowned its Graduate Fashion Week winners. Congratulations to all the honourees, particularly the sweetly deer-in-headlights Gold Award winner Rory Longdon.

And continuing her campaign to boost the increasingly regal British high street, Kate Middleton wore another Reiss dress (we almost wore this style to a wedding last week—Kate, let's be shopping buddies!) to the races. She kept with the pale tones but amped up the glamour with a Jenny Packham gown at a charity gala last night.

Elegant and refined though the gown may be, it just won’t do in a muddy field. Our editor made way for the Isle of Wight Festival with tent, sun cream (optimistic, we know) andfestival hair guide in tow. ELLE’s newly launched Travel channel told us about the best rural summer festivals, where that sun cream might actually see the light of day, and Beauty Writer Amy Lawrenson shared her picks for the top festival beauty items. No, Wet Ones are not included...
