Jennifer Aniston Has a Brand New Show, But Her Dress Is Pure Vintage

No one understands the allure of a deep dark gown like Jennifer Aniston. As Hollywood’s reigning queen of the LBD, Aniston keeps her red carpet style minimal and monochrome. Though she’s been spotted in chic new pieces from Bottega Veneta, Alexander McQueen during this latest press tour, Aniston outdid herself for last night’s premiere of her Apple TV+ series, The Morning Show. Dressed in a vintage gown from James Galanos, Aniston gave the crowd at Lincoln Center a taste of old-school glamour with the classic piece that she bought at the Beverly Hills boutique, LILY et cie.

An icon of 20th century design who outfitted everyone from Marilyn Monroe to Nancy Reagan, Galanos helped to define American fashion with his ready-to-wear collections and onscreen costumes. Known for clean lines and a commitment to refinement, his work meshes well with Aniston’s less-is-more philosophy. With its halter neck and navy color, the gown was striking yet understated—completely in line with the looks Aniston and her stylists, Nina and Clare Hallworth, have chosen of late. A blast from the past that seemed completely modern, the dress was a welcome reminder that the most impactful outfits are the ones that come with history.

Kate Middleton Steps Out in the Ideal Comfortable Pump

This morning, Kate Middleton and Prince William stepped out together in Birkenhead, U.K., where the royal couple were attending a naming ceremony for a new polar research ship, titled the RRS Sir David Attenborough. For the occasion, the Duchess of Cambridge took a page out of Kristen Stewart’s recycle-and-re-wear approach to dressing by busting out an old wardrobe favorite: she wore a light blue Alexander McQueen coat-dress that she’s sported before on multiple occasions. But while Middleton’s choice of outerwear fell in line with her always-polished aesthetic, it was her choice of footwear that was truly noteworthy: look closer, and you’ll see she slipped on the most ideal pair of comfortable pumps.

Opting for a pointy-toe pump in navy suede, Middleton’s shoe of choice today was by Emmy London. She wore the label’s Josie pump, which retails for $455 and features a thick 3-inch block heel—a sturdy heel height that provides longer wear time than a pin-thin stiletto, but still adds plenty of elevation. Consider it the perfect work shoe for fall, and it’s a style you could even commute in (because we’ve all done the shoe swap once at the office). To finish off her look, Middleton then accessorized with a black Asprey clutch and tasteful jewelry. Discreet but chic: it’s a Kate signature, after all.

Sophie Turner Does a City Girl’s Take on Overalls

Denim overalls are one of those pieces that can go wrong real quick if styled incorrectly. Worn oversized and with a grubby tee? You could look like you're ready to corral cows on the farm, and possibly feature on a throwback episode of The Simple Life. But a more body-skimming style worn with a dressed-up top? Suddenly, the jean onesie becomes more chic than country. Today, Sophie Turner recognized the latter approach: hitting the streets in New York City with husband Joe Jonas, and offering a city girl’s take on the tricky item.

The key to Turner’s successful overall styling? She kept to a medium-to-dark denim wash, hers by Mango, and a snug fit, and then paired it with a crisp white cotton top, which matched her chunky sneakers. Meanwhile, accessories like a pearl-embellished headband and sleek sunglasses helped elevate the look. And as for her man? Jonas leaned into the dressed-up casual look as well, with a Harley Davidson T-shirt, skinny blue jeans, and white Converse sneakers. These two newlyweds are always on the same fashion page.

Dua Lipa Wears the Original Inclusive Streetwear Line

Long before Virgil Abloh brought his streetwear savvy to Louis Vuitton’s menswear operations and decades before Hood By Air offered up a gothic sheen on the fashion signifiers that ruled the Brooklyn streets of Shayne Oliver’s adolescent years, Cross Colours shifted the entire fashion paradigm in this urban direction. As the brand’s founder Carl Jones described in a 2014 interview, the underlying goal was to connect with people. “The positive messages, the colors, coming from the street, coming from the ghetto. It’s clothing without prejudice,” Jones said, reiterating the brand’s motto. “It’s clothing for everybody.”

This universal message quickly gained traction with famous celebrities of the era, including Tupac, Will Smith on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air ( Smith was the first major celebrity to wear Cross Colours pieces), and TLC with their oversize Cross Colours pants that they infamously decorated with condoms.

The brand’s inclusive, positive vibe is clearly resonating with artists of today, too. Dua Lipa just sported a Cross Colours denim bucket hat, accented by pops of bright yellow and red in London (the singer wrote she only got two hours of sleep the night before in her Instagram caption). She wore the accessory with an off-kilter sweatshirt and a pair of high-waisted jeans. Cross Colours is due for a comeback given streetwear’s ascendancy, and Lipa is one of the first from today’s celebrity generation to take up the charge.

Lady Gaga’s Latest Look Is a Powerful Win for Georgian Designers

Lady Gaga knows how to make quite the dramatic exit. Yesterday, as she left her hotel in New York City, the singer served a regular dose of her hip-popping attitude, this time with a little help from the Georgian designer Akà Prodiàshvili. Gaga was dressed in a full leather look that consisted of a tiny sheeny bandeau top for a full midriff reveal and a high-waisted, body-clinging skirt with a fist-size metal buckle smack dab at the navel. For some of that sassy Gaga take on old Hollywood glam, she wore the ensemble with matching opera gloves that recalled dominatrix garb, hulking lace-up platform boots for another slice of BDSM-core, and a pair of large sunglasses.

The look came from Prodiàshvili’s Spring 2019 collection. The 23-year-old was inspired by the small but vibrant drag scene in his hometown of Tbilisi, Georgia. He cited the stars of RuPaul’s Drag Race, including Sasha Velour and Violet Chachki, as inspirations. As for Gaga’s specific look? Prodiàshvili wrote that it was based on “The Matrix’s scene when Neo meets Trinity at the nightclub.”

While this may seem like just another newsy celebrity style look, Gaga wearing a Prodiàshvili design bears heightened meaning in Georgia. Prodiàshvili has expressed his support for the LGBTQ+ community in his designs, a group that is often violently marginalized in Georgia where ultraconservative sentiments are still present. “Lady Gaga is one of my favorite queer artists from my childhood,” writes Prodiàshvili. “She is a big inspiration for any LGBTQ+ representative so for me it is very important to contribute to the community this way.” Call it a very happy and very chic day for Pride month both stateside and in Georgia.
