That's It—I'm Officially Copying Dua Lipa's Style From This Moment On
I would like to first publicly state that I owe all of my Dua Lipa love and knowledge to one of my best friends, Trevor. I'll never forget the night it all began—we were hanging at his boyfriend's apartment watching the best music videos of all time (as one does) and when it was revealed that I had not seen the video for "New Rules" by Dua Lipa, Trev was #shook. No less than 60 seconds into the video, I commented on how incredible her style was, and that was the day I knew I wanted to be her.
After a quick follow on Instagram and many late-night stalking sessions, I learned that that Dua wears the brands everyone's talking about, takes the fashion risks I wish I was brave enough to take, and can rock a bra top unlike any human being I've seen walk this earth. Dua, if you're reading this, it's not too late to become my best friend which I feel would be a natural progression from being my girl slash style crush. Readers, if you're looking for a new fashion icon to fawn over, meet the Dua Lipa outfits we think will turn you into an instant fan. And everyone, I officially am copying everything this icon wears from this moment on. Thanks to her extremely entertaining and informative Instagram, I think it's going to be an exciting ride. Who's with me?
Speaking of killer Instagram style, check out what happened when one of our editors let her Instagram followers dress her for the evening.

In the photo, Duff is wearing what can only be described as 2000s fashion in a nutshell—a Lisa Frank-esque handbag, bright-colored pants, an embroidered jean jacket, platform sandals, and a choker. Oh, and how about that crimped hair?
The cherry on top of this nostalgia-inducing throwback is, of course, Duff's hilarious caption. "Holy (insert avocado emoji). I survived this pink nightmare," she wrote. Yes, you did, Hilary. Now, read on to see the hilarious (and nostalgic) 'gram for yourself below.

5 Items a Celebrity Stylist Would Remove From Your Closet
When she’s not working with big names like Lupita Nyong’o, Jennifer Hudson, and Hilary Swank, celebrity stylist Micaela Erlanger also divulges her fashion expertise in our Ask a Stylist column. From the best places to source vintage to the secret to finding your most flattering jeans, come back each week for a professional’s perspective.
When it comes to cleaning out your closet, I always suggest grazing your wardrobe every few months. Aside from swapping in and out seasonal items like coats and sweaters, I look for five key items to move to the donation pile. Think along the lines of that overbearing drawer of socks or your stack of old T-shirts you’ve owned for way too long. Parting with these items on a regular basis will keep your wardrobe well organized and full of the freshest pieces you wear on repeat. Plus, not only will this habit leave your overall appearance looking perfectly polished, but it will also create more space in your wardrobe (and who can complain about that?).
Keep reading to find out the five items you should remove from your wardrobe…
We’re all guilty of owning mismatched socks. Where do the pairs go? We will never know, but I suggest finally taking the time to clean out your sock drawer and donate the mismatch pairs. Stock up on my favorite sets below.
It happens to the best of us. You find your favorite white T-shirt and wear it on repeat to the point where you earn some not-so-lovely yellowish stains. Restock your white tee collection with my picks below.
Maybe you sized down because they were on sale or perhaps the heel was deceptively shorter online—whatever the reason, if you can’t walk in them, it’s time to part ways. Find another home for the shoes and shop the heel style that’s most comfortable below.
Consolidate your denim collection every few months, and donate the pairs that no longer fit you perfectly. Jeans give and wear wash after wash, so it’s completely normal to have pairs that no longer flatter your body the way they used to. Freshen your denim selection with my go-to jeans below.
Similar to white T-shirts, your go-to blouse will gain stains over time. Whether it’s an underarm situation from your deodorant or an unfortunate coffee spill, if there’s any evidence of a stain, it’s time to toss. Stock your blouse collection with my picks below.

Late Bloomers, This Model’s Success Story Will Speak to You
Model Bianca Balti is anything but a fashion industry novice. The Italian model has walked the runways of fashion weeks around the globe as well as for Victoria’s Secret, and she’s appeared in countless major campaigns, including her most memorable work for Dolce & Gabbana. After over 10 years of experience you might assume so much of her work is been-there-done-that, but in the latest Fashion Firsts film, Balti tells us why earring a "rookie" title at age 33 was one of the craziest, and most rewarding, career moments of all.
Balti tells us that she was basically the oldest Rookie of the Year that the Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue had ever had (for instance, this 2018 picks were mostly in their early 20s). “This is amazing to me,” she says. “In life it’s never too late to achieve stuff.”

You Heard Right: This '70s Denim Style Is Officially Back
We've hardly tried to hide that we're obsessed with '70s-inspired style. There's a reason this decade outdid all the others in terms of its sartorial staying power and it has a lot to do with bohemian-inflected styles like luxurious suede and neutral earth tones. What does this mean in terms of denim? That, yes, retro flare jeans are making a decided comeback, making the '70s more relevant than ever. And we're taking cues from the likes of Cher and Farrah Fawcett when it comes to styling them.
For a while there, we were certain the wide-legged denim would never again see the light of day. But lately we've been seeing a handful of celebrities in bell-bottom jeans that have us reconsidering the denim. So whether you're emotionally attached to your skinny jeans or have thought that the flare style never left, prepare to get on board with the retro revival. The key to making the '70s style feel current? A high-waisted fit and a great heel. Wearing heels with full-length flare jeans is particularly essential, as the added height will balance out the jeans' volume. If you're still feeling flats, opt for a pair of cropped flare jeans instead. Think you're ready to try out the trend, or maybe you need a little more motivation to be convinced? Let the following outfits get you inspired and then shop our favorite flare jeans to get you started.
Do you agree with us that bell-bottom jeans are coming back in style?

This Is How Much Money Kylie Jenner's Birkin Bags Are Worth
Over the weekend, Kylie Jenner Instagrammed a jaw-dropping sight: an entire closet dedicated to designer bags. From Chanel to Louis Vuitton, the youngest Jenner's collection is impressive, but her assortment of Hermès Birkin bags definitely took the cake. Arguably the most coveted bag in the world, Jenner owns at least 10 Birkin bags.
So how much would Jenner's Birkin collection set you back? Elle UK tapped the experts at resale site Vestiaire to offer an estimated value of her collection. Birkin bags are worth anywhere from $11,000 to $345,000, depending on the material and hardware used. Based on a previous Instagram, we know Jenner's collection includes exotic skin bags, which start at roughly $17,000, per Elle UK's experts.
So, with at least 10 bags to her name, that means Jenner's Birkin collection could easily be worth around $170,000 total. Not to rub salt in the wound, but just a friendly reminder that Jenner is only 20 years old. Impressive, right? Scroll down to see her closet photo.

What to Never Wear on a Plane, From a Flight Attendant
"I would advise against anything really constricting," says Fischbach. "You want to get the most comfortable you can be to avoid cramping, swelling, and anything that can affect you later." Allowing for healthy blood circulation is especially important to avoid deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which occurs when a blood clot forms in a vein, usually in the legs. "It's very important to be able to move around a bit in your seat—very difficult, I know—and keep your blood flowing," Fischbach explains. "If you are tall, travel a lot, or are on a long flight, this is extremely important because you face the risk of developing DVT." More innocuously, swelling in the stomach can also occur, causing discomfort—especially if you're in restrictive clothes. "Bloating is a major issue, even for flight attendants, so wear something comfortable around your waist like elastic," suggests Fischbach. "As cute as they may be, leather pants probably aren't the best."
While a fire may be one of the last things on your list of concerns when flying, it is something to take into account when dressing for your flight. Fischbach names fringe and flammable materials as hazardous items should there be an emergency. "Going a bit extreme here, but there is always a risk with long fringe should the plane have a fire," she says. "While our uniforms have polyester in them, I always wonder and worry myself that they could be a hazard if they got too close to extreme heat and melt on us." Though Fischbach admits it's a bit morbid (and most likely nothing to worry about), it is a scary reality in the event of an emergency. "I traveled a lot growing up and one rule my mother made me follow that I continue to follow to this day is to always have my body covered," says Fischbach, who opts for long sleeves and pants. "Emergency slides are not fun to go down and hurt—a lot—and it's not a smooth landing once you reach the end of the slide," she explains. "The more you cover the surface of your skin, the more protection for your largest organ."
Deciding which shoes to wear when flying can often be the trickiest part of the outfit to nail down, so we asked Fischbach if there's a specific style you should simply avoid when flying. "High heels and backless sandals make it difficult to quickly evacuate the aircraft, and heels can possibly cause further damage to emergency exits or hurt others if they go flying off somehow," she says. "I would really advise against high heels or flip flops or any slides, mostly for safety purposes. If there is an evacuation and slides are required, your high heels will have to come off as they can puncture the slide. Who knows where and in what conditions you'll land, plus they aren't very practical running gate to gate." (She suggests watching out for late flight attendants, and you'll see what she means.) Fischbach notes that even flight attendants change shoes during the flight because it isn't practical to wear heels the entire time. "As if another reason is needed, they make the metal detectors go off (if you are lucky enough to have pre-check) thanks to nails in the heels," she explains. "Flip flops and backless shoes can also end up flying off your feet, and your feet are more likely to freeze, especially during a long flight." Furthermore, open shoes can make for an unsanitary visit to the airplane lavatories. "Be wary of wearing sandals if you are planning on going in the lavatory," warns Fischbach. "That isn't water on the floor (yes, use your imagination), and sandals invite whatever that liquid is to splash on your feet."
As Fischbach noted with the nails in high heels, metal can slow you down significantly during security. She advises avoiding shoes "with large metal adornments" or "anything studded which some TSA agents might not allow through." Even the shape of your jewelry can be an issue. Fischbach notes that "anything that looks like a potential weapon is a no-go, so use your imagination at times," using multi-finger rings as an example. "I always am sure to take off all jewelry before I get to the airport and keep it in a convenient place for after I get through security," she says. "Even gold pieces you think are safe might not be. I've had my Cartier Love bracelet set machines off, and trying to unscrew that with a nail isn't fun—especially when you are frantically trying to do so."
One of the most common mistakes Fischbach sees when people are flying is failing to dress for the conditions of the plane. "Practically every flight, I see someone with barely any clothes on—crop tops with booty shorts; sports bras and leggings sans jacket; bathing suits and board shorts. You name it; chances are we've seen it," she recounts. "And practically every time we see this, these are the people who want a blanket on flights we don't provide them on. We all know airplanes are freezing, and it's just common sense to dress for it."
You can always keep extra layers, or even a full outfit option, in your carry-on. "It doesn't hurt to have a change of clothes on you," suggests Fischbach. "You might be that unfortunate soul next to the one person who gets airsick or ends up with a missing bag only to be found 3000 miles away." To sum things up, Fischbach says it really comes down to this bottom line: "Cover yourself up for safety and comfort, wear covered shoes in the lavatories. And yes, it is possible to dress comfortably and still look chic."
Once you've studied up on Fischbach's concise list of items to avoid while flying, sub in her flight-friendly go-tos. Layering is her top suggestion for ensuring you enjoy a comfortable flight. "I always try to layer for flights I'm on as a passenger," she explains. "If you must wear a skirt or dress, wear tights underneath, even if it's the middle of summer and you are traveling from Miami to Cancún." Fischbach says she favors cropped pants when she's flying as a passenger. "J.Crew makes a pair with an elastic waistband that are so comfy you feel like you are in your pj's but still sophisticated," she says. She also brings her own thick socks for extra warmth for her feet. "I usually bring a lightweight jacket or cashmere hoodie with lots of lightweight layers underneath," explains Fischbach. "I am always cold, so I need lots, but there are those occasions where the aircraft is blazing hot and even I need to cool off." One of her flying staples that offers versatility and an easy way to adapt to the temperature is a big cashmere scarf. "I never travel without that," she says. "A lightweight one for summer and thick one for winter," which is also great if blankets aren't provided on the flight. "It is possible to be comfortable without looking like you just came back from the gym or rolled out of bed."
For those who want to dress up for a flight because you're traveling for business or seated in first class, Fischbach reassures that "dressing up and remaining comfortable isn't as difficult as it sounds." She suggests the outfit formula of a blouse with a sweater and cropped pants as an easy go-to for traveling for business. "I've seen more and more companies incorporating elastic into the waistbands of many of their slacks," naming Uniqlo as one such brand, "and a flowy blouse can easily hide any evidence of a not-so-fitted waistband." Choosing the right material can also increase your level of comfort." Lots of dressier pants have a bit of stretch to them now, always a more comfortable choice in any situation," Fischbach notes. She also suggests sheath dresses which work with tights or nylons. "Don't forget blazers to dress it up if you're on your way to a post-flight meeting and maybe a change of heels if flats or loafers don't work for your total ensemble," she says. "And ask your flight attendant if it is okay to hang it in the closet. Who wants added wrinkles? Look your best!"

The Numbers Are In: the U.S. Buys More Leggings Than Jeans Now
It's a Saturday and you're heading out to run errands—would you wear leggings or jeans? If you would wholeheartedly choose the former, then statistics are finally catching up with your wardrobe. Quartz just reported on data that revealed a striking revelation: "US imports of women’s elastic knit pants exceeded those of blue jeans in 2017 for the first time, according to data from the US Census Bureau," the site explains.
Plus, Quartz explains that denim imports peaked all the way back in 2010, and have been declining since then. "Since their peak, women’s blue jeans imports have declined by an average of 3.9% annually," Quartz explains. "Over the same period, elastic knit pants grew 25.7% per year on average." Now, we're not saying jeans are going anywhere, but these numbers definitely prove that the athleisure trend shows no signs of slowing down.
