Los Angeles is the place to be this week. Ahead of Vogue World: Hollywood, a celebration of fashion and film taking over Paramount Studios on Sunday (tune into the livestream at 6 p.m. PDT!), Vogue brought the excitement street side with an exclusive pop-up in the heart of Hollywood for one day only, on October 24. The shop offered an exclusive chance to shop the highly-anticipated collaboration with Fear of God IRL—a brand that embodies the city’s distinct blend of laid-back cool and cinematic glamour. ICYMI, or just couldn’t get your hands on the right size, the eight-piece collection is still available in-store exclusively at Maxfield LA, and online at Fear of God.

Founded by 2025 CFDA Innovation Award recipient, Jerry Lorenzo, Fear of God has long sought to distill the essence of Los Angeles in its DNA—fittingly, this capsule serves as a love letter to the brand’s hometown. “Los Angeles is home for Fear of God and a constant source of inspiration,” Lorenzo says. “From the creative energy of the Eastside to the quiet ease of kids surfing the waves in Venice; from the heart of the city in Inglewood to Hollywood’s red carpets. This partnership pays tribute to the diverse communities that define Los Angeles and the spirit of American luxury shaped through the California lifestyle.”

On the back, find an homage to the city’s iconic neighborhoods, with star detailing along the sleeves calling to mind Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. These are modern staples that feel just at home courtside as they do on Sunset Boulevard, where stardom meets seaside calm.

As Vogue global editorial director, Anna Wintour, described “Vogue World: Hollywood will be a one-night-only show with a huge cast of models and actors, setting great film costumes next to brilliant fashion collections…a runway show-as-rallying cry—a way to fix the attention of a huge global audience, to bring awareness, and sound an unmistakable note of positivity, creativity, and hope.”

Julianne Moore’s Brown Braided Bag is the Must-Have Tote for Fall-Winter 2025

Julianne Moore is carrying Madrid’s “must-have” bag of the moment.

There are trends that emerge on the runways, others on social media, and then there are those that simply become objects of desire through aesthetic repetition. The dark-toned braided bag is one of them. This luxuriously textured, handcrafted accessory has been gaining more and more followers, eventually finding its way into the wardrobes of almost every fashionista in Madrid, per Vogue Spain. No matter which neighborhood in the center of Spain’s capital you walk through, you’ll see it everywhere, and Julianne Moore also approves of this trend.

The braided bag began to gain traction a few seasons ago thanks to Bottega Veneta, but we know that trends follow a course from the moment they are worn on runways and celebrities until they truly emerge on the street. Now, we can say that this design has endured with the approval of celebs like Moore and the general public.

While the most stylish women will be styling their braided bags with jeans, blazers, and loafers, Julianne Moore adds her own take on the look with a style that screams confidence. A black knit sweater, wide-legged dark brown faux-leather pants, and gathered shoes come together in this outfit, spiced up by her braided shopper bag, aviator sunglasses, earcuffs, and a delicate necklace.

A City Girl’s Guide to Fall Shoes—7 Chic Editor-Approved Styles

Hyperbole or not, to work or live in Manhattan, you’ve got to get comfortable with walking. There have been days in the city where I’ve logged well over 5 miles on foot—usually lost in a song, strutting down 5th Ave like it’s my own personal runway. It’s a known fact that New Yorkers walk fast, so to keep up with this city’s stride, it’s essential that whatever is supporting your soles must provide comfort as well as style—so, coming to you as a shopping editor, an NYC commuter, and a previous Manhattan resident, here is my City Girl’s guide to fall shoes in 2025.

I’ve called on the latest Gen Z fall 2025 shoe trends—like the sporty sneaker, slouchy boot, and casual pump—plus two Parisian fall favorites, the slim loafer and the suede ballet flat. The classic Birkenstock Boston Clogs make an appearance, alongside the cult-favorite Frye boots. Join me as I try on, style, and review these seven NYC editor-approved fall shoes.

My pick: Madewell Mylie Ballet Flats ($128)

Vivienne Westwood Spring 2026 Ready-to-Wear Collection

by jummy84
written by jummy84

While the Vivienne Westwood team’s spring 2026 collection was shot in a house close to the Champs-Élysées, captured in its light-filled chambres and wild garden, it was just down the road at Christie’s auction house in London where inspiration first took root. There, the late Dame Vivienne Westwood’s wardrobe was on display for auction: her fall 1983 Witches collection, a corduroy suit she wore for decades, Yorkshire tweeds, 18th century samplers. This set the scene for designs made for traversing the English moors, discovering the dark and decay amid the vegetation.

Rococo-style suiting, the impeccably tailored Bettina jacket, mini-skirts, and shorts that recall the Cafe Society collection were remixed in treated denims, windswept silks, and undyed, organic fabrics, with a rumpled and ragtag feel—like a tumble taken in the Garden of Eden. The ever-popular Sunday dress was made in crinkled gauze, and there was a spectrum of kilts in classic and high-octane colored tartans. Soft, airy knitwear sets featured a new take on the ‘Paradise’ print by artist and frequent collaborator Dominic Myatt, depicting a trash-filled, tarnished utopia—a tribute to Westwood’s climate activism and the brand’s continued eco ethos.

Nods to recent runway pieces from Andreas Kronthaler confirmed a growing sense of fluidity for the house, from A.K. to bridal (though, would you believe, the brand’s first-ever bridal-focused show only took place in April 2025?). In the mix were a bag-waisted pair of pants for both men and women, a diaphanous, inky-print jumpsuit, and sequin and trussed-up taffeta evening gowns. The Westwood lens on sportier sensibilities—including a pair of playful, visor-like sunglasses—and a deeper offering of the house’s classic tailoring reflected the wants of a younger audience who have become enamored with Vivienne Westwood through Depop dives and Bella Hadid. The brand has garnered increasing interest from young men, especially, looking for those slashed and remade silhouettes.

Selena Gomez Paired Her Merlot Mani With a Sweaterdress for Maximum Cozy Vibes

Selena Gomez hath spoken: We’re officially in cozy season. The actor said so (sartorially, at least) when she stepped out for dinner with friends in Santa Monica on October 23 wearing the fashion equivalent of a warm hug.

The newlywed layered a cream coat over an oatmeal-colored crewneck sweaterdress that just kissed her ankles. A supple white leather handbag and woven white Mary Jane ballet flats added to the luxurious textures at play in the deceptively simple look. I know the quiet-luxury trend is a bit passé in the micro-trend-obsessed world of social media, but folks, this is how you do it.

Gomez’s glam was the icing on the cozy cake. The 33-year-old was heavy-handed with her blush, giving herself the rosy flush of someone who’s just spent an hour in front of an open fire, a glass of red wine in hand. Speaking of wine, her almond-shaped nails were screaming “fall” in a glossy merlot shade that will always be on trend during this, the season of pumpkin spice. And what goes better with a perfectly polished manicure than a whopper of a diamond ring? Two diamond rings.

Tom Bachik, Gomez’s nail artist, recently gave fans a better look at her diamond-encrusted wedding band, which sits next to her massive engagement ring from her husband, Benny Blanco. Some luxury is quiet, but that luxury is screaming.

H&M’s $50 Heeled Sock Boots Look Just Like Designer Ones

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Recently, there’s been some debate about ankle boots—whether they’re “in” or not. As someone who’s chronically online and works in fashion, I believe I know a lot about this topic, so I want to clarify that ankle boots are not just “in” for 2025, but they’re also everywhere, especially heeled sock boots. Brands like Khaite, Toteme, Reformation, and Docle Vita are all embracing this fall boot trend. Even H&M offers a pair that looks just as luxurious as those from high-end brands and is one of the best designer-passing pieces I’ve come across recently.

H&M’s Heeled Sock Boots are the shoes in question. They are priced affordably at $50, but don’t let that fool you —they look far more expensive, making you think that H&M forgot to add an extra zero to the tag. The ankle-high design features a snug yet stretchy upper that fits like a sock, and the pointed toe adds a sleek and sophisticated touch. The best part is that they come in three color options—black leather, chocolate-brown leather, and brown suede—catering to different styles. I’ll be adding all three to my wardrobe because, together, they cost less than the single designer pair I’ve had my eye on.

Bess Wohl and Whitney White on the Radical Relevance of ‘Liberation’

Bess Wohl and Whitney White on the Radical Relevance of ‘Liberation’

by jummy84
written by jummy84

A look into America’s political past, Liberation is also a personal story, inspired by Wohl’s own mother, who worked at Ms. magazine during the playwright’s youth. But the Tony-nominated playwright, who made her Broadway debut in 2020 with the comedy Grand Horizons, did not imagine her latest work would be quite so relevant today.

When Liberation opened off-Broadway in February 2025, directed by Tony nominee Whitney White, reviews were rapturous. The women’s fight against the patriarchy resonated with audiences reeling from the rollback of reproductive rights, and whose algorithms were flooded with tradwife content.

“I knew what we had, but you never know,” White says of the play’s reception. “Someone can have a message, but you have to deliver the right message at the right time. And I was like, ‘Is this the right time? Are people ready to hear this? And will they enter the story the way we’re entering the story?’ And as it turns out, it was.”

Audiences related to the story in many respects—to the anger at inequality in the workplace, the fear of losing bodily rights, the frustration with the sluggish pace of progress, and the exhaustion from the ongoing fight. In one scene, a character declares, “I am so hopeful, but I am burned the fuck out,” a line Wohl pulled from one of her interviews.

“She said, ‘By the 1970s I was burnt out on women’s liberation,’ and I thought, wow, the arc of history is so much longer than we realize,” Wohl says. “Already in 1970 women were feeling frustrated, like, ‘When is this gonna happen?’ And I think that that urgency really powers so much of the story of the play.” Present-day activists can relate: While the first Women’s March, held after Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration, counted more than half a million attendees in Washington D.C.—the largest single-day protest in US history—the 2025 People’s March, after his second victory, peaked at approximately 50,000 people.

Why Are ‘The Diplomat’ Sex Scenes So Distractingly Awkward?

Why Are ‘The Diplomat’ Sex Scenes So Distractingly Awkward?

by jummy84
written by jummy84

We need to talk about The Diplomat. Specifically, the romantic relationships on The Diplomat. And even more specifically, the sex scenes.

The Netflix thriller has been sitting comfortably in the top 10 most-watched TV shows since its third season premiered on October 16, and not since House of Cards has the public been so invested in the juicy inner lives of despicable elected officials. (The fictional ones, at least.) In the series, Keri Russell stars as Kate Wyler, a longtime behind-the-scenes strategist who, in season 3, plays double duty as both the second lady of the United States as well as the US ambassador to the UK. She appears slightly disheveled at all times and is not afraid to put ethics aside for the sake of her preferred outcome. She and her husband, Vice President Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell), also a duplicitous politician, are well-matched antiheroes.

I am a fan of the show. In a world full of flops, The Diplomat is a diamond in the rough, a rare TV series that has me reaching for my phone not because I want to mindlessly scroll on a second screen, but because I want to embark on a Wikipedia deep dive into the Law of the Sea treaty (a real thing!), the Runit Dome (a concrete structure in the Marshall Islands that “entombs” nuclear waste), the politics behind the Scottish independence movement (what’s really behind its failure?), and so on and so forth.

However, when deeply engaging moments like this are interrupted by out-of-left-field dialogue like, “I want to lick you until you scream,” it can feel like a slap in the face. I’m sorry, but what is going on with The Diplomat’s sex scenes?

For the record, I’m not a prude, or one of the Gen Z contingent who believes there’s too much sex on TV (a young millennial, I was raised on Gossip Girl—it takes a lot to shock me). Nine times out of 10, I’m all for a little sexy time on screen. But the relationships between Kate and UK foreign secretary Dennison (David Gyasi), Kate and Callum Ellis (Aidan Turner), and Kate and Hal in season 3 of The Diplomat felt forced in a manner that completely took me out from under the show’s otherwise unbreakable spell.
