Let’s get one thing straight: We’ll never forget Arya StarkMaisie Williams in her leather armor, needle tucked in her belt. But after appearing in head-to-toe Dior rain gear for the French fashion brand’s show on Tuesday, Williams gave us another standout look to think about for a while. For the fashion show, the Game of Thrones actor, along with her boyfriend, Reuben Selby, chose matching ensembles: Williams wore an oversized khaki anorak as a mini dress with fishnet socks and knee-high rain boots, while Selby paired a structured trench coat with slacks and lug-sole loafers. Both carried Dior handbags, Williams’ a tiny top-handle in black and Selby’s a khaki-and-white Saddle bag which he wore across his body. Even their face masks — which were also khaki-colored — were a perfect match.

Williams and Selby are hardly new to the Fashion Week front row — or matching their looks. In September of last year, the duo sat alongside CFDA Fashion Fund judge and model Paloma Elsesser and Moonlight actor Ashton Sanders at the Helmut Lang show during New York Fashion Week. Later that season in Paris, both appeared at Thom Browne, not only wearing matching tweed suits and knee socks but also coordinating makeup. For fall ‘20, they dressed to the nines for Christopher Kane, only to one-up those looks in head-to-toe seersucker Thom Browne in March. Now, we shouldn’t be surprised by Williams’ prowess in the style department. She is, after all, a Stark.
Even with so many previous ensembles to contend with, between the footwear and the It bags, this latest fashion moment is certainly their best. Alas, Paris Fashion Week is just beginning, and with these two in the City of Love for a few more days, who’s to say what’s yet to come?

Planning a wedding, even before the pandemic, came with a lot of responsibilities. For starters, you had to book a venue, fine-tune the guest list, and, of course, find the perfect wedding dress. Now, on top of those decisions — plus those ensuring the safest wedding day possible — another to-do has been added to every bride’s pre-wedding checklist: buying a wedding-appropriate face mask. The same goes for your wedding party and your guests.
At an event as heavily photographed as a wedding, whether you’re seated on the bride’s side of the aisle or you are the bride, you may want a style that’s a little more photo-worthy than a standard medical mask. But, while the face covering should be aesthetically pleasing and on par with your wedding-day look visually, it should still be effective against the spread of COVID-19. According to the CDC, face masks should have two or more layers of breathable, washable fabric, and should fit snugly against the sides of your face. But if the mask you want to wear doesn’t match these guidelines, don’t fret. You can always add protective layers underneath that no one, including the wedding photographers, will ever have to see.
From satin to lace, here are 10 dressy face masks that work just as good for the bride as they do for members of the bridal party and those lucky few guests who made the micro wedding cut.

In August, cult fashion brand Ganni used its slot on the Copenhagen Fashion Week calendar to press refresh on the traditional way of doing things. Instead of putting on a runway show, Ditte and Nicolaj Reffstrup, the brand’s co-creative directors, held a three-day exhibition. Music was played, essays were read, and clothing made out of archive Ganni collections was sold. The exhibition was also used as a platform for a big announcement: Ganni teaming up with heritage denim brand Levi’s on a capsule collection of rented denim. Now, every piece of hand-sourced archival denim — which the designers transformed to fit the Danish brand’s popular aesthetic — is available for rent as part of Ganni Repeat.
The collaboration is made up of three versatile pieces: patchwork jeans, bubble-sleeve snap-up shirt with an XXL collar, and snap-up mini dress. What you receive in the mail won’t be identical to the delivery for your fellow #GANNIGirl; depending on where the pair you rent is in the denim lifecycle, it could have more rips or be more faded than others — which is all part of the charm. As Reffstrup says, “The beauty of denim is it just gets better over time.” You probably won’t style the pieces the same, either. Both the shirt and the dress can be worn oversized or cinched using a detachable snap-on belt. They can be styled open or closed, tucked-in or loose, sleeves flowing or buttoned up, with the collar attached or detached. Even the jeans include two separate button-flies, one that’s designed for low-rise styling and the other for high-rise.
As someone who’s spent many hours in thrift shops and flea market stalls searching for a pair of Levi’s that fits, is worn in (but not too worn in), and doesn’t cost me an arm and a leg — as well as is a fan of Ganni — this seemed too good to be true. I had to try them. Upon slipping on the Ganni Repeat jeans for the first time, though, I was hooked. All of my vintage Levi’s have either been too big in the waist, thus leaving a gap in the back (you know the one), or too tight in the thigh and butt area. I’ve lost count of the many pairs I’ve ripped from trying to compromise on fit in one area just to get it right in another. To remedy that, these have a standard button-fly closing and an asymmetric one that allows for a tighter fit in the waist. (The asymmetric buttons, along with the patchwork details, check off two of the most popular denim trends.) Worn up high, the rise pairs perfectly with a tucked-in button-down, T-shirt, or tank top. Slouched, you can style them with an oversized sweater or a vintage tee. I chose the former, wearing the jeans tighter with a tucked-in white button-down. For one look, I tucked the hems into a pair of hunter green lug-soled rain boots. For another, I went classic with Gucci loafers.
I wore the Ganni Repeat Western-style shirt untucked, over a collared shirt, though it can also be worn solo, as a shacket, with a black, pleated mini skirt and ankle boots (pictured below). Like the jeans, the shirt and dress are made of patchwork denim, with one side being a lighter wash than the other, and the collar a dark denim that contrasts with its ruffled, light wash piping. Unlike the jeans, though, both are more statement pieces than staples, making them perfect for a rental program like this one. Wear them a few times, and then send them off in the RePack that every Ganni Repeat package arrives in. “Just like your Ganni x Levi’s piece, I can be reused again and again, so don’t forget to return me,” the bags have written on them. (According to the press release, by choosing reusable packaging over single-use packaging, up to 80% of C02 emissions can be saved.)
Ganni and Levi’s also teamed up with SharpEnd, a connective experience agency, to allow renters to unlock the history of each piece and discover which #GANNIGirls rented it before them. (Renters can opt out of the latter if they don’t want their information shared with the next person.) Along with the pieces, wearers will each receive a video welcome, as well as a “love letter” from Ditte Reffstrup. They will also gain access to exclusive content including campaign shoots, style inspiration, and content created by previous renters. Like the #GANNIGirls community, which has over 50k posts from self-proclaimed members around the world, this collection was designed to bring people together, even in a pandemic. Think: Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
To try the Ganni x Levi’s rental program, choose your items (you can rent for one, two, or up to three weeks), and pay the $55 to $60 per week fee. (Jeans cost $55 per week, while the shirt and dress both cost $60 per week.) Who knows? Maybe, along with your new favorite pair of recycled denim, you’ll also get a (digital) note from the last wearer, à la Lena, Bridget, Carmen, and Tibby, from some far-off destination around the world.

दिवंगत एक्ट्रेस श्रीदेवी की लाडली () भले ही बॉलीवुड में तीन फ़िल्में पुरानी हों लेकिन स्टाइल के मामले में वह बी-टाउन की बड़ी-बड़ी हसीनाओं को टक्कर देती हैं। अपने इस छोटे से सफर में जाह्नवी ने न केवल अपनी शानदार एक्टिंग से लोगों के दिलों में एक खास जगह बनाई है बल्कि एक्ट्रेस की सार्टोरीअल पिक्स इस बात का सबूत हैं कि उन्हें फैशन की समझ अपनी मां श्रीदेवी से विरासत में मिली है। ऐसा ही कुछ हमें हाल-फ़िलहाल में एक बार फिर देखने को मिला है। लेकिन न जाने ट्रोलर्स को एक्ट्रेस के इस लुक से भी इतनी आपत्ति क्यों है। यूं तो जाह्नवी कपूर अक्सर ही अपनी ग्लैमरस तस्वीरों से फैंस को खुश करती रहती हैं लेकिन कभी-कभार बेहद स्टाइलिश होने के बाद भी अभिनेत्री के फैंस को उनका अंदाज कुछ खासा रास नहीं आता। ऐसा इसलिए हाल ही में जाह्नवी कपूर ने बॉलीवुड के फेमस फैशन डिजाइनर मनीष मल्होत्रा के लेटेस्ट केलक्शन रूहानियत के लिए ब्राइडल लुक को कैरी किया था। हालांकि, दुल्हन के लिबास में जाह्नवी हर बार की तरह काफी प्यारी लग रही थीं लेकिन कुछ 'संस्कारी ट्रोलर्स' अभिनेत्री के इस अंदाज से भी खफा हो गए। दरअसल, मनीष मल्होत्रा ने डिजिटल प्लेटफॉर्म पर अपने लेटेस्ट कलेक्शन 'रूहानियत' यानी हेरिटेज वेडिंग को ध्यान में रखते हुए एक फैशन शो का आयोजन किया था, जिसके लिए जाह्नवी कपूर ने दुल्हन के अवतार को अपनाते हुए पिस्ता हरे रंग के कशीदाकारी लहंगे को चुना था। इस ग्रीन एंड गोल्डन लहंगे में जरदोजी और जड़ाऊ कढ़ाई के साथ जटिल कटवर्क वाली जालीदार कारीगरी की गई थी, जो लहंगे को खूबसूरत बनाने में कोई कमी नहीं छोड़ रही थी। यही नहीं, लहंगे की ब्लाउज को सीक्वेंस के साथ-साथ जड़ाऊ हैंडवर्क से तैयार किया गया था। लहंगे में एक्स्ट्रा ग्लैम जोड़ने के लिए के लांगटेल भी जोड़ी गई थी, जो इस ओवरऑल अटायर को खूबसूरत बनाने में कोई कसर नहीं छोड़ रही थी। यहां तक तो सब ठीक था लेकिन जैसे ही दुल्हन के लिबास में जाह्नवी की तस्वीरें सामने आईं ट्रोलर्स ने उन्हें आड़े हाथों लेना शुरू कर दिया। जहां कुछ फैंस ने जाह्नवी के इस लुक की जमकर तारीफ की तो कइयों ने कहा- थर्ड क्लास। यही नहीं कुछ यूजर्स ने तो जाह्नवी को तस्वीर तक डिलीट करने की हिदायत दे डाली। खैर जो भी हो, हमें तो जाह्नवी दुल्हन के लिबास में काफी प्यारी लग रही हैं। वैसे आपका एक्ट्रेस की इन तस्वीरों को देखकर क्या ख्याल है? हमें कमेंट करके बताना न भूलें।
