The Modern Icon: Bottega Veneta's Drop earrings

Many ‘It’ pieces are made in the hands of a Hadid, but most fall out of fashion as quickly as they came in. In fact, few viral must-haves manage to maintain their desirability for longer than a single season.

The real story of JFK Jr and Carolyn Bessette's relationship

I had been living in New York only a few weeks, fresh from sunny L.A., and I held my glass of bubbly near as I self-consciously scanned the room.

Versace just recreated Jennifer Lopez's famous green Grammy dress Versace pre-autumn/winter 2019

And, last night, Donatella Versace brought the creation back to life, sending an updated version of the design down the catwalk on Amber Valletta, the model who originally wore the dress on the catwalk for spring/summer 2000.
