H&M x Stella McCartney Is Back After 20 Years, & Modeled By Fashion’s It Girls

Twenty years after Stella McCartney partnered with H&M on its second-ever designer collaboration (which has since become the retailer's signature shopping event every year), the English icon is back for round two.

"I get asked to do things like this quite often, and I, on the whole, say no because it’s not normally the right partner with the right set of belief systems or standards. But 20 years ago, I was interested in doing this," McCartney explained in a press junket. "But I stipulated a very clear list of requirements all around sustainability. They managed, to their credit, to deliver on [those] sustainability [goals], and it sold out in seconds."

Today's collection, which features modern takes on archival styles and "icons,"like the brand's studded "Rock Royalty" tee and Falabella chains, keeps sustainable materials at the forefront, featuring organic cotton, recycled crystals, and RWS Standard-certified wool.

"I really wanted to make it quite gender-fluid. Because I wear men’s suits all the time, so anyone can wear it," McCartney said, adding: "I want a younger, wider audience to have access to myself [and] to impact people’s wardrobe in a positive way."

From sharp tailoring, oversized shirting, chic shoulder bags, and trench coats (for more workwear-inspired pieces) to bejeweled prints, sparkling tops, mixed-metal jewelry, and mesh dresses (perfect for parties), the collection is equally nostalgic and modern, especially when modeled by today's It girls like Reneé Rapp, Adwoa Aboah, and Angelina Kendall.

Ahead, preview the much-anticipated H&M x Stella McCartney collaboration lookbook. Then come back prepared on May 7th to shop your favorite limited-edition pieces before they inevitably sell out.

"The foam bounce technology gives just enough cushion at the ball of the foot to take the pressure off without changing the fit of the shoe. It’s one of those small upgrades that completely changes how wearable your favorite heels are," she raved.

Old Navy And Christopher John Rogers Created The Collab Of Our Closets’ (And Wallets’) Dreams

It’s a great day for Christopher John Rogers fans. The New York-based designer has teamed up with Old Navy to deliver a collection filled with those dopamine-inducing designs at prices for the masses. Kimora Lee Simmons and her daughters, Aoki and Ming Lee, are also joining the campaign, starring in undeniably fabulous photos.

The glam trio can be seen striking a pose in playful patterns—like the instantly identifiable Christopher John Rogers stripes and abstract polka dots. Of course, there’s a ton of sprightly colors too. Think chartreuse denim and cherry red off-the-shoulder tops.

SHOP OLD NAVY X CHRISTOPHER JOHN ROGERS

What’s even better? Old Navy and Christopher John Rogers are offering a host of accessories that are perfect for packing for a summer getaway or carrying through the city while running errands. There’s a wear-everywhere scarf that can be worn as a headband, as a skirt over your bikini, or even as a belt (one of my favorite styling hacks trending right now). You’ll also find carry-everything totes with long handles that sit comfortably on the shoulders. I can just picture it perched perfectly on top of a carry-on during a chic trip to the airport. These accessories are poised to be the next coveted collector’s items for all the fashion girlies.

If you’re looking for shopping advice, I’d grab the ‘CJR’ embroidered bags and knits or the graphic T-shirts first. The logo lovers are bound to scoop those up quickly. Naturally, it only makes sense to go for some of the denim pieces next, especially since Old Navy is known for making the coziest jeans.

I’m personally not going to miss this opportunity to get one of Christopher John Rogers’ rainbow dresses for a fraction of the price. And the minimalist inside of me isn’t going to miss the opportunity to grab that drop-waist white dress either. At $89 or less a pop, the only thing I’ll regret is not buying two.

Say “I Do” To These 5 Bridal Fashion Week Trends

It’s that time of year again. Yes, wedding season is officially upon us. And here in Manhattan, we’ve kicked off the festivities with New York Bridal Fashion Week — the epicenter of all things bridal. Every season, bridal designers from across the country and the globe gather in the Big Apple to showcase the latest collections while giving future brides and fashion industry insiders a first peek into the top trends of the season. 

Last year, you couldn’t attend a wedding without seeing a bride in a drop-waist gown, airy neck scarves, or a draped corset top. And while whispers of chiffon neck scarves and drop-waist silhouettes are still present, this year, the Spring/Summer 2027 collections are all about refined drama and soft luxury statements with detailing like ornate lace, voluminous bubble hems, and added pizzazz with a bit of color. 

“Brides are craving pieces that feel special and considered, rather than minimal for the sake of being minimal,” says Giselle Valdez, CEO of New York’s Spina Bride salon. “There’s also a return to richness in fabrication— layered silk chiffon, textured fabrics, and dimensional appliqué that feels couture.”

This season’s brides are also turning to accessories, such as embellished headpieces and mini veils, to accentuate full wedding looks. 

“Accessories are now becoming much more intentional and fashion-driven. We’re seeing brides start to treat them as part of the overall look rather than an afterthought,” Valdez adds. 

Whether you’re a 2026 bride, newly engaged and looking towards the future, or on a mission to update your summer wardrobe with some bridal white-inspired ensembles, say “I do” to our curation of ready-to-wear looks inspired by these five bridal fashion week trends sure to define the spring 2027 season. 

The New CBK Slip

There isn’t a bride who doesn’t have Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s iconic Narciso Rodriguez wedding dress on their bridal mood board. And with the recent success of FX’s Love Story, CBK’s minimalist style is more popular than ever before. And while refined maximalism and elevated drama are a clear theme of the spring 2027 bridal season, there will always be a timeless, effortless elegance to the simplicity of a classic slip dress. “Minimalism isn’t going anywhere— if anything, we’re seeing a cultural moment remind us just how powerful a perfectly restrained gown can be,” says Kyha Schott, founder and creative designer of Australian-based bridal brand KYHA. “But what’s shifting is the expectation that simplicity alone is enough. Brides still want modernity and ease…it’s less a departure from minimalism, and more an evolution of it.”

Non-White and Pops of Color 

Ahead of Bridal Fashion Week, Harris Reed’s Autumn/Winter 2026 show set the tone for colorful brides showcasing a runway of white lace gowns paired with bright blue, green, and pink veils. And as a bride who wore a custom blush gown down the aisle, I love a non-white bridal look. Branching out from the traditional bridal white, fan-favorite designers such as Monique L’Huiller and Galia Lahav celebrated color in their recent collections, showcasing gowns with crimson florals and lace, while KYHA’s Chroma collection featured fiery garments in blood orange hues. But if you want to depart from the classic shades of ivory and white with a more subtle color statement, you can’t go wrong with muted florals or soft pastels, including powder pink, blush, and baby blue — a dominant color for a selection of embellished suits and dresses in Tanner Fletcher’s romantic spring 2027 wedding collection.

Luxe Lace 

Lace will always be a regal style for brides, thanks to iconic wedding dresses worn by real-life royalty, including Kate Middleton and Grace Kelly. But the love for lace has gone beyond the royal wedding statement sleeve. Brides who love lace as more than just an accent are now committed to the all-over lace look à la Millie Bobby Brown’s custom Galia Lahav creation for her 2024 wedding. Once preferred as elegant embroidery, lace is now a full garb. And this season, it was the fitted lace gown that took center stage with eye-catching, open-lace designs featured in the collections of Dana Harel, Sarah Seven, Katherine Tash, and Ukraine bridal brand Milla Nova.

Vintage Birdcage Veils 

Ornate headpieces have returned to the forefront of bridal styling with the netted birdcage veil appearing as this season’s accessory favorite. The ever-sophisticated vintage style, which marries the idea of a mini veil and a chic chapeau, has been elevated for the modern era and featured in the spring collections of Monique L’Huiller, Ines Di Santo, as well as contemporary bridal and ready-to-wear brand LEIN, in collaboration with milliner Gigi Burris. Whether pinned in the hair or attached to a miniature hat, the netted veil, which classically sweeps across the face, can be worn bare or adorned with everything from florals (as seen on the Di Santo runway) to sparkling crystals and pearls.

Bridal Bubble Hems 

Believe it or not, bubble hems are still all the rage. The nostalgic early aughts style made its way from the ready-to-wear runways to the wedding aisles as a popular trend of 2025. And the spring 2027 bridal season is no different. “I’ve noticed a lot of puff skirts, puff sleeves, puff peplums, puff everything this season! The ‘80s are having a comeback,” says New York-based bridal stylist Maise-Kate Keane of the bubbled bridal week trend. From voluminous ballroom skirts—a staple in KYHA’s retro, 80s-inspired collection—to puffed-up minis seen in the collections of Danielle Frankel and Cult Gaia’s latest bridal drop, it appears the bouncy bubble hem is here to stay.
