Jennifer Lopez may be a singer, actress and the reason Google images was invented (opens in new tab), but as of today, the highly accomplished multi-hyphenate can now add another addition to her resume: footwear designer.
Yes, JLO (opens in new tab)has teamed up with US retailer Revolve to launch an exclusive collection of footwear. The collection is set to launch in three separate drops, the first of which is available to buy now.
The star took to Instagram over the weekend to celebrate the collab and offer her 238 million followers a sneak peek at the collection. In the caption, Lopez wrote “I love shoes! Can anyone relate?” Over 500,000 people subsequently liked that post, presumably agreeing with her notion.
Revolve also hosted a party in honour of the collaboration. The star-studded event included appearances by Tiffany Haddish, Chloe and Halle Bailey, and of course, Jennifer Lopez herself.
Of the collaboration, Revolve’s Chief Brand Officer Raissa Gerona, said, “At REVOLVE, collaborating with influential tastemakers in fashion and entertainment has been one of the keys to our success. Through these partnerships, we are able to provide our customers with exclusive products that they can only purchase from REVOLVE.”
She continued, “Jennifer Lopez is a pop culture icon and an inspiration to millions of people all over the world, so there was no question of doing an exclusive collaboration with her line, JLO Jennifer Lopez. We’re so excited to introduce the new line of footwear.”

Though we cherish the memories that made them, the smile lines around our eyes are a different story. Since the skin around our eyes is the thinnest on our body and extra delicate, it’s one of the first areas to show signs of aging, particularly fine lines and wrinkles. Crow’s feet, eye wrinkles or whatever you want to call them, are an inevitable part of aging — but that doesn’t mean you can’t minimize them if you’d like.
We asked Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty, Health and Sustainability Lab scientists and top dermatologists for the real deal on crow’s feet, including what causes them and treatment options that really work.
First, what causes crow’s feet?
Any movement around the eyes — we’re talking squinting, laughing, frowning — works those muscles, eventually causing crow’s feet. “Lines around the eyes are caused by the action of the orbicularis oculi muscle,” explains Dr. Dustin Portela, a board-certified dermatologist in Boise, Idaho. “This is a circular muscle that goes all the way around the eye. When we smile or express with our eyes it contracts and pulls inward. It is directly attached to the overlying skin and therefore the skin is pulled with it. Repeating this action over the course of years will cause grooves or lines to develop in the skin.”
When do crow’s feet start to appear?
There’s no hard and fast rule for when you can expect to first see fine lines around the eyes, since everyone is different. However, for most people these lines will start to become apparent in their mid-30s.
“Depending on genetic and environmental factors one may notice crow’s feet as early as their 20s,” says Dr. Sherwin Parikh, a New York City-based board-certified dermatologist and founder of the Tribeca Skin Center. “We often see people as young as that because it can be very much hereditary.”
Genes aren’t the only determining factor, though. Behavior and lifestyle play a huge role. Smoking, excessive tanning or UV exposure and even skipping moisturizer can lead to seeing crow’s feet sooner. “Sun exposure and tanning beds will cause ultraviolet light exposure which is one way to accelerate the breakdown of collagen in the skin,” Dr. Portela says. “The thin skin around the eyes is especially susceptible to these effects. As we lose collagen there is less support of the skin and lines will develop much easier.”
What is the best way to prevent crow’s feet?
Sunscreen is your best friend. Look for one with an SPF of 30 or higher to protect your peepers. “To avoid the look of overly-rugged lines around the eyes, always moisturize and hydrate, use a thicker, richer eye cream when desired and wear SPF,” Dr. Parikh says. “Sunglasses provide extra UV protection, and also reduce glare, so we don’t squint, causing unnecessary muscle strain.”
Products with ingredients that fortify the delicate under-eye skin are your best bet. According to Dr. Parikh, those include hyaluronic acid and peptides that boost hydration and collagen. Lancome Absolue Revitalizing Eye Cream was the winner in our Beauty, Health and Sustainability Lab’s most recent anti-aging eye cream tests, ranking the best among consumers for reducing the look of crow’s feet, with its combination of grand rose extracts and shea butter. It topped our list for hydration and firming skin, plus it didn’t cause irritation around the eyes. One tester raved, “It was effective in making my skin softer and reducing crow’s feet.” While the ROC’s Multi Correxion 5 in 1 Anti-Aging Eye Cream also measurably reduced wrinkles and crow’s feet.
Eye creams aren’t the only option you can do from home to prevent and minimize fine lines. “There is some small evidence that at-home red-light therapy can be helpful to stimulate collagen production, and there are a number of red-light masks available for purchase,” Dr. Portela says. “In my experience you must be very consistent with these and have realistic expectations about the modest results.” LED face masks use visible light to improve the skin by sparking collagen production and decreasing inflammation and bacteria.

What is the best treatment for crow’s feet?
When you want to take wrinkle-fighting up a notch, see a dermatologist or professional for treatments to reduce crow’s feet. Injectables are one of the most effective treatments to prevent and reverse crow’s feet. They work to relax those muscles of expression, so lines don’t form on the skin. “The muscles around the eye contract and lead to line formations, which is how tiny injections of neuromodulators help reduce the look of crow’s feet,” Dr. Parikh explains. “They also prevent future lines from getting deeper by inhibiting constant muscular contraction and tension.”
Tightening treatments can also deliver results, such as radiofrequency, which can help diminish the appearance of crow’s feet by tightening the collagen and helping to stimulate new collagen growth. Lasers are especially effective in reducing the appearance of crow’s feet. There are many types of lasers that can deliver results, so be sure to have a discussion with your doctor about the best treatments for the results you want to achieve and what the expected downtime is. “Lasers and microneedling can help, but must be used with absolute precision around the eyes to avoid any damage,” Dr. Parikh says. “Only a board-certified physician should do those procedures. Newer, safer technologies such as Tixel by Sentient have entered the US market, and also help the look of the skin around the eyes.”
Another option to help reduce the appearance of fine lines is microneedling. “The small injuries to the skin caused by microneedling can help to induce new collagen growth, as well as tighten the skin,” Dr. Portela says. “Radiofrequency microneedling is a new treatment that can have excellent results to induce collagen formation and tighten the skin.”
Bottom line:
When it comes to crow’s feet, sometimes the simplest solutions are the best ones. Dr. Portela says, “The best ways to prevent crow’s feet are to avoid smoking, wear sunscreen daily, get plenty of sleep each night and consume a healthy and well-balanced diet.”

Women’s history month is a time to celebrate inspiring women (opens in new tab) across the globe, and while we’ve already covered both female-founded fashion brands (opens in new tab) and female fashion duos this month, Rokeya Khanum deserves a spotlight of her own.
To say her story is inspiring would be an understatement. “It seems kind of crazy, in hindsight where I am today,” Rokeya tells Marie Claire, explaining that at 17 she became a young mum and subsequently found herself homeless and living between hostels.
“I didn’t want to fall into the stigma that society places on women like myself,” she said. “I wanted to ensure that I studied and got my academic qualifications, just as a way to prove a point that even though I’m a young mum, I could still achieve all these kinds of goals.”
And so she did. Rokeya went on to study law at university and landed herself a job in financial services before deciding to start her own eponymous fashion brand. The designer saved money from her full-time salary for start-up capital and worked on Khanum’s on the side for 18 months before taking the leap and committing to the brand full-time.
For Rokeya, ending up in the fashion industry was almost inevitable, as the designer inherited an interest in clothes from her parents, who were both garment workers when she was growing up. “I think there was this unintentional conditioning that happened with my exposure to the garment industry from such a young age,” she said, explaining that her father worked for a local factory in Brick Lane, while her mother worked from home stitching garments.
“I witnessed my mum cutting patterns and cutting fabrics on our dining table. She didn’t have the resources of an actual manufacturing environment. But she did what she could with the means that she had,” Rokeya explains. “I was always fascinated by it.”
This initial curiosity became more prevalent in her teenage years when Rokeya would sketch designs, which her mum helped her bring to life.
Upon starting the label, Rokeya knew from the get-go that she wanted Khanum’s to have a sustainable ethos and made-to-order model. “It was just a no-brainer,” she explained. “It just doesn’t make sense to me to bulk produce garments that might not have a home in the end. I want to push intentional and mindful purchases.”
She continued, “When you place an order with us, I want you to know that this dress or jacket is for you. I’m not interested in people just hastily purchasing.”
With this initial mindset, Rokeya has continued to focus on taking actionable steps to increase the sustainable side of her business. She entered into a fashion sustainability accelerator programme which allowed her to look into every aspect of the business and pinpoint places in which she could make positive change.
Today, 80% of Khanum’s products are produced here in the UK, with embellishments and trims added in Khamun’s in-house studio.
The brand is undoubtedly one that’s made for women who want to stand out. Royeka’s intention is to always ensure women feel empowered and confident in her designs. “I want any woman wearing Khanum’s to feel like they’re the only woman in the room,” she explains. “Jaws will be dropping and heads will be turning when you are wearing Khanum’s.”
The designer describes it as making a statement. “That is the whole intent and purpose of the brand. We offer statement signature styles. She should feel like the statement in the room.” Keep scrolling to shop statement styles from Khanum’s now.
With spring (opens in new tab) on the horizon, in recent weeks I have found myself gravitating forwards lighter colours when getting dressed in the morning, swapping our darker shades of black, navy and grey for fresh hues like purple, yellow and even pale pink.
Evidently, I am not alone, as the team at Radley has reported that they have seen an 800% spike in searches for pastel and pastel accessories recently. Indeed, it seems like everyone is thinking about preparing themselves (and their wardrobes (opens in new tab)) for spring.

While pastel colours come in all manner of shades, it seems the one true standout this year is set to be pastel purple. Radley has revealed that they have seen a 250% increase in searches for the specific colour of lilac, revealing the hue as a key colour trend for 2023.
Of course, if purple is not your colour of choice, there are several other pastel shades to choose from, including pale yellow, green and pink, which are all also trending at the moment.
After last year’s obsession with all things Barbie-core (opens in new tab), it seems this spring’s pastel popularity is the subtle way to add colour to your wardrobe. Saturated shades are taking a back seat this spring, it’s time to embrace all things pastel. Keep scrolling to shop our favourite pastel accessories, just in time for spring.
Looking to boost your lashes without the commitment and cost of lash extensions? Meet the lash lift. “A lash lift is a process in which the natural lashes are curled and lifted, making lashes appear longer and eyes more open,” saysClementina Richardson, celebrity lash expert and founder of Envious Lashes in Miami and New York City.
Like a perm for your lashes, a lash lift semipermanently curls the hairs and is a great in-between option for those who want more than mascara but don’t want to commit to extensions. We tapped Richardson and Rebecca Hoffman, owner of Bespoke Brows NYC, for all the details on this trendy treatment.
What is the lash lift process?

Consultation. First thing’s first: “You always start with a consult,” Richardson says. “The lash artist will assess the natural lash to see how much lift is required to achieve the perfect look.” Richardson’s clients request different looks including cat eye and a “lifted opened eye look” and she will assess what would look best on each individual.
Lashes are adhered to a curling rod. After the consultation, “a rod is chosen and lashes are adhered to this rod using a medical-grade lash lift glue,” Hoffman explains. “The glue used is water-soluble, so it is different from and much more gentle than a lash extension glue.” Good Housekeeping Institute Deputy Editor Jessica Teich tested out a lash lift firsthand at Bespoke Brows with Hoffman and said this step (which took about 15 to 20 minutes) was the most uncomfortable part, although it wasn’t terrible. “The hardest part is keeping your eyes closed the whole time and just getting used to someone touching your eyes and lashes so much for so long.”
An activating solution is applied to activate the curl, followed by a neutralizing solution that seals everything into place. The final step of the lift is rinsing eyes thoroughly with a saline solution. “It took a little over an hour to do the lift, with each step of the process taking less time than the previous,” Teich says.
Lashes are tinted (optional). “Many of our clients do a lash tint in conjunction with the lash lift for more impact,” Richardson says. This would be the last step of the process. “The tint is mixed with a cream oxidant and applied to the lashes, and removed after just a few minutes.”

What’s the cost of a lash lift?
“A lash lift can run from $75 to $250,” Richardson says. “This is based on location and expertise.” At Bespoke Brows, lash lifts cost $99.

How long does a lash lift usually last?
“Lash lifts generally last between3.5 and five weeks, based on the growth cycle of your natural lashes,” Richardson explains. Meaning if your hair grows quickly, you will be on the three to four week schedule, as the lift grows out with your lashes.
What’s the difference between a lash lift and lash extensions?
Think of extensions as the top tier treatment in terms of look and cost. “They add density, length and curvature to your own lashes,” Richardson says. However, extensions are often more expensive and require a lot of maintenance and upkeep. Lash growth serums are a more subtle option which “help strengthen natural lashes” and are used at home, although results may take a while to see. A lash lift is that middle ground: an professional treatment that lasts weeks and has immediate results.
Do lash lifts damage your lashes?
“As with any chemical process there is always a slight chance for damage, but when done properly, lash lifts are not damaging to lashes,” Hoffman says. “On the contrary, a lot of guests experience increased lash strength when receiving consistent lash lifts because they are forgoing their eyelash curlers, which can put a lot of strain on and impart damage to the lashes.” There is also a built-in keratin treatment in most lash lift treatments which further helps to strengthen and fortify the hair.
“Damage to natural lashes can only occur if they are over processed,” Richardson says. “The technician must be aware of how much time is needed for a lash lift based on the type of hair follicle the client has, which trained technicians should know.”
Are lash lifts painful?
One thing to watch for: lash lifts could cause a reaction on those with super sensitive or allergy-prone skin. “Visit a salon that offers a patch test for allergies to the solutions,” advises Dendy Engelman, M.D., a dermatologist at Shafer Clinic Fifth Avenue in New York City. “And you may want to avoid it if you have very fragile lashes.”
While Teich found the process painless overall, she did say that “if the activating or neutralizing solution gets into your eye, it definitely stings a lot.” When she accidentally opened her eye, she experienced instant burning and tearing that was quickly eased by the technician swiping her waterline with wet Q-tips. “While it isn’t dangerous, it is uncomfortable at the time, so just be careful to keep your eyes closed throughout the entire process,” Teich advises. “My eyes felt totally fine after I rinsed them with no residual effects.”
Can you do a lash lift at home?
Both of our experts agree that lash lifts are not meant to be a DIY process. “This is one treatment that should definitely be left to the professionals,” Richardson advises.
Can you still wear mascara with a lash lift?
Mascara is fair game post-lash lift. “Just wait 24 hours after the treatment is done,” Hoffman says. “I would advise avoiding a waterproof mascara though, as this product tends to be quite dehydrating.”
Lash Lift Pros
Both experts and Teich are big fans of lash lifts for these reasons:
A lash lift requires little maintenance and you can stop at any time.
It’s a great option for boosting blonde or light-colored lashes.
It can make lashes appear longer.
It’s great for curling straight lashes.
A lash lift may be better than lash extensions for those with sensitive eyes.
It’s customizable.
It can take away the need for mascara or a lash curler.
It makes getting ready faster.
It reduces potential damage to lashes from an eyelash curler.
You can still wash your face as usual, which is not the case with eyelash extensions.
It can make people look more polished and put together without any additional makeup.
Lash Lift Cons
As with any professional treatment, there are a few caveats:
It could be damaging if you have super fragile or thin lashes.
The cost and time. “It’s pricey and temporary, and there’s a certain level of commitment involved,” Teich notes.
Your “new lashes” can take some getting used to. “It felt like I was wearing falsies for a few days,” Teich says. She noticed her lifted lashes bumped against her hooded lids.
What does lash lift aftercare involve?
“The biggest thing is that I couldn’t wet my lashes for 24 hours following the service, so no washing my face or putting on makeup and no steams or saunas in that time,” Teich explains. For the weeks following, Hoffman advised Teich to brush lashes daily with a spoolie and to avoid sleeping with an eye mask or using a lash curler which could impact the longevity of the lift. And of course, try to keep your hands off your eyes as much as possible (no rubbing!). “Otherwise, business as usual,” Teich says. Meaning, mascara, makeup, cleansers and makeup removers of your choice.
“You can optionally incorporate an eyelash protein treatment into your daily self-care routine to prolong the results of the lash lift and keep your lashes in as healthy a state as possible,” Hoffman says. Richardson is also a big proponent of using a conditioning lash serum twice daily, as “it will give you denser, longer lashes which will result in a better lash lift the next time around.”

It’s official. Pamela Anderson is *the* moment. After launching back into the spotlight this past January with a Netflix documentary, (opens in new tab) Pamela Anderson has yet again become a centre point in the cultural zeitgeist. Last week she attended the Versace show in Los Angeles (opens in new tab), and just a few hours ago she walked the runway for BOSS opening the brand’s Spring/Summer 2023 catwalk show (opens in new tab).
While BOSS (formerly known as Hugo Boss) usually hosts its fashion shows during Milan Fashion Week (opens in new tab), this year the brand chose to stage its Spring/Summer 2023 runway show in Miami. And it was certainly a star-studded affair, both on and off the runway. On the catwalk, we spotted the likes of Naomi Campbell, recently retired celebrity stylist Law Roach (opens in new tab), musician DJ Kaled and the aforementioned Pamela Anderson.

While off the runway, the attendees’ list included the stars of Daisy Jones and The Six, Suki Waterhouse and Camila Morrone, as well as Demi Lovato, Tiffany Haddish, Christine Quinn and more.

In terms of the clothes, this season BOSS focused on a relatively neutral colour palette comprised of mainly black, white, pale yellow and shades of grey. Tailoring was a key element of the collection, in both the men’s and women’s wear displays. The looks included double-breasted suits, trench coats, tailored vests and more.
A motif that ran across the collection was the reimagining of the button-down shirt. Shirt sleeves were draped around models’ necks in the form of scarves and were seen peeking out from the bottom of various tailored blazers and waistcoats.
You probably know which category your hair type falls under, whether you have straight, wavy or curly hair hair. After all, that crucial piece of information influences so much about your hair, from how to style it to your haircut to the types of hair products you stock in your shower. But, when it comes to hair porosity, figuring it out isn’t as simple.
So what is high porosity hair?
“Hair porosity refers to how well the hair is able to absorb or hold on to moisture,” explains Marisa Garshick, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist and assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Cornell-New York Presbyterian Medical Center. “It often is a function of the cuticle, the outermost layer of the hair, to determine how much moisture passes in and out of the hair which can determine how porous your hair is. Different types of hair processing, such as heat, coloring or chemical processing, may impact hair porosity.”
What are the characteristics of high porosity hair?
If you have highly porous hair, you can expect lots of frizz, especially during humid weather, dullness and tangles. Your hair will also likely be prone to breakage and damage, and may look and feel dry.
More From Good Housekeeping
How can you tell if you have high porosity hair?
Hair porosity falls into three categories: Low, medium and high.
“Low [porosity means it’s] difficult for moisture to penetrate and also difficult for moisture to escape,” says Brandie Devillier, platform educator at the Aveda Arts & Sciences Institute and certified color educator at Elevate Hair. If it takes a long time to blow dry, that’s a key indicator of low porosity. Low porosity hair can also be resistant to coloring, like gray hair.
“Medium porosity can accept moisture and release moisture easily,” Devilllier says. The hair cuticles are not tightly woven together and in general absorb products and moisture well, making it easier to care for.
High porosity means the cuticle layer of the hair is open and could have breakage.This type will dry quickly but it’s prone to frizz and feels very dry. High porosity hair often “looks dry and brittle, it is weak and breaks easily,” Devilllier says.
How to determine your hair porosity
Figuring out which type of hair porosity you have can make styling and keeping your hair healthy a lot easier. “There is an easy, old school trick to test your hair porosity at home,” says John Kahen, M.D., Chief Hair Surgeon and founder of Beverly Hills Hair Restoration. “Brush through clean hair, and gather the strands that shed naturally. Drop the hair strands in a glass of water and if they float, the hair is low porosity. If the hair sinks slowly after floating, it is medium porosity, and if the hair sinks instantly, it is high porosity.”
What causes high porosity hair?
Though hair porosity is largely determined by genes, it’s unknown exactly how that works, according to Trefor Evans, Ph.D., Institute Fellow at TRI Princeton. “It’s a very complicated question,” he says. “How your hair grows is down to your body’s physiology and there are so many things that control the body’s physiology.”
There are other factors at play, too. UV exposure from the sun, not using a heat protectant before styling, color and bleach can lead to high porosity hair. “Most of the porosity is genetic, but it can also be altered based on what you have done to your strands — things like chemical treatments to your hair or heat damage can take a role,” says Dove Partner & Celebrity Hair Stylist Lacy Redway.
How to care for high porosity hair
1. Opt for moisture-rich products
High porosity hair tends to be thirsty, so look for words like “hydrating” and “moisturizing” on the labels of your products. “Choosing the correct products based on your hair porosity is important,” Redway says. “Moisturize daily to help your strands from breaking and causing further damage.”
2. Get regular trims
“Because hair is dryer and more damaged, it is more prone to breakage and split ends,” Dr. Kahen says. “Regular trims help to stimulate new hair growth and keep the hair looking healthy and bouncy at the ends.” Aim for half-inch trims every four to six weeks.
3. Don’t shampoo too often
How often you wash your hair depends on your hair type, since you don’t want to strip your hair of its natural oils while finding solutions to help repair it, Redway says. On average, she recommends once to twice per week.
4. Read ingredient lists
“It is best to avoid sulfates when possible as these can be drying,” Dr. Garshick says, so opt for a sulfate-free shampoo at the very least. Additionally, be sure to steer clear of products that are clarifying or high alcohol content sprays, since these also zap moisture.
5. Suds up with the right shampoo
“There are two shampoos I recommend for high porosity hair: A damage repair shampoo and an added moisture shampoo,” Devilllier says. “Rotate these out weekly until your hair is happy again.” Our top shampoo for dry hair, Herbal Essences Bio:Renew Hydrate Coconut Milk Shampoo, conditions with coconut extract and aloe.
6. Never skip conditioner
High porosity hair needs all the moisture it can get, so be sure to always follow your shampoo with a conditioner. “You want conditioners that are deeply hydrating if you have high hair porosity,” Dr. Kahen says. “Especially leave-in conditioners can be effective because they can provide an additional barrier and layer of protection to help the hair retain moisture.”
He recommends plant-based oils like coconut and sea buckthorn oil, which are hydrating to the hair, as well as moisturizing ingredients like shea butter and manuka honey. Dr. Garshick suggests Andalou Naturals Argan Oil Conditioner, as it contains a blend of argan oil and avocado oil, as well as shea butter and vitamin E to both moisturize and condition the scalp.
7. Use a detangler
Hair that is high in porosity typically tangles easier, so it’s important to detangle hair to prevent further breakage when brushing out knots, advises Dr. Kahen. A top-rated hair detangler will help moisturize those tangles so they are easily released and you have no breakage. Garnier Gentle Detangling Hair Milk features a blend of oats, rice extract and aloe juice to glide right through knots while adding hydration to thirsty strands.
“Remember to comb from the bottom of the hair up to the scalp,” Devilllier says. “This will help with tension and ease of detangling.”
8. Skip tight styles
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that high ponytail may not be worth it. “For hairstyles, try to avoid ones that cause further damage or breakage like tighter hairstyles that can pull at the hair,” Dr. Kahen says. That means no tight elastics. It’s also best avoid excessive heat styling and go easy when brushing your hair. Use a wide tooth detangling comb or a gentle brush to prevent breakage.
9. Try a treatment
“Remember that all hair is already dead, so it’s important to nourish it as much as possible, especially if you’re doing damaging treatments that can lead to high hair porosity,” Dr. Kahen says. “Hair masks are a good solution for treating the hair and helping with its strength; leave-in conditioners and hair masks can help to seal gaps in the hair cuticles and protect the hair; and lastly, oils are all great options to seal in the hydration and help the hair retain it.” It’s a 10 Miracle Deep Conditioner Plus Keratin deeply conditions hair while preventing damage.
For an even bigger boost, you can ask your stylist for a repair treatment add-on when you visit the salon. For example, the Kérastase In-Salon Fusio Dose is custom created by your stylist to target your specific needs.
10. Fight frizz
High porosity hair is prone to frizz because it’s more damaged and cannot retain moisture as well. “Because of this, it is more difficult for hair to hold onto its natural smoothing oils that help to hydrate hair and prevent frizziness, as well as hold onto products that are added to the hair to help with hydration and frizziness,” Dr. Kahen says.
Look for a frizz tamer like the Goldwell Kerasilk Control Rich Protective Oil, a winner in the GH Beauty Lab’s test to find the best anti-frizz hair products for its ability to smooth and boost shine.
11. Sleep on silk or satin
“In between washes, continue to moisturize your strands and avoid surfaces like cotton pillowcases that may dry it out further or cause friction to lift the cuticle and have breakage — try using satin pillowcases,” Redway says.

Here at Marie Claire, we love a sustainable red carpet moment. From Kate Winslet (opens in new tab)re-wearing her seven-year-old Badgley Mischka dress to the Avatar premiere to Cate Blanchet championing circular fashion at Cannes Film Festival, we are all for outfit repeating on the world stage.
And this week, Marie Claire cover star Salma Hayek Pinault (opens in new tab) and her daughter Valentina were added to the list of stars making more sustainable choices on the red carpet when they attended the 2023 Oscars (opens in new tab).
For the event, which took place on Sunday, Salma’s daughter opted to wear her mother’s vintage red strapless gown from 1997.
(Image credit: Getty)
The gown in question is by designer Isaac Mizrahi and Salma originally wore it to the Fire & Ice Ball in Los Angeles in 1997. At the time, Salma styled the dress alongside a bold red lip and shawl in the same colour.
With a little help from stylist Rebecca Corbin-Murray, Valentina managed to make the look feel a little more contemporary, choosing to style the gown more minimally alongside a silver necklace and Gucci bag.
(Image credit: Getty)
Of course, the vintage gown looked just as good today as it did over 20 years ago and we love the fact that Valentina chose to go for a pre-loved option.
And she is not alone. In recent years, we have seen a slew of celebrities and people in the public eye choosing to think more environmentally and consciously about the clothes they’re wearing on the red carpet. Even, the Princess of Wales has started to make more sustainable choices.
The 95th Annual Academy Awards took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles tonight and saw all our favourite stars pull out all the stops. Whilst this year’s awards were relatively subdued, when it came to the red-carpet Hollywood’s biggest night didn’t disappoint.
From Lady Gaga in Versace to Florence Pugh in Valentino, straight-from-the-runway was clearly a thing this year. And we are here for it.
Across the champagne carpet, sheer is in, pink is still going strong and stars were sparkling.

In true RiRi style, Rihanna showed up to the Oscars in a baseball jersey and bucket hat before getting red carpet ready in custom made Alaia. You may recognise this one from the Alaia AW 2023 runway…just add a bump.
Yes, yes and yes again. We are loving everything about this look, from the thigh high split (that is very much giving Angelina Jolie) to the diamond jewellery. This was the right year to have a champagne carpet because Delevingne is stealing the show.
4. Florence Pugh in Valentino

It wasn’t long ago Pugh told the crowd at London Fashion Week, “The art of dressing up allows us to express who we truly are,” and this look does just that.

For the 95th Annual Academy Awards, Gaga chose a drop waist, figure-hugging sheer gown from the Versace Autumn/Winter 2023 collection—less than five days after Gigi Hadid took to the runway. Elsewhere, Winnie Harlow in Armani Prive and Sabrina Elba in vibrant Richard Quinn.
Arguably the best-dressed man of 2023, Mescal just keeps looking better and better. Our OG Instagram crush (remember Connell’s chain (opens in new tab)?) wore a Gucci look and Cartier jewels and was styled by British stylist, Felicity Kay,

Sparkle was one of the biggest trends at the Oscars this evening and Bingbing oozes glitz and glamour in Tony Ward couture.
There’s no doubt about it, the pale pink Gwyneth Paltrow Oscar dress created by Ralph Lauren is right up there with the best Oscar dresses of all time (opens in new tab). In fact, it’s one of her most talked-about looks, period. No small feat considering it dates back to 1999.
She wore it to the 71st Academy Awards, during which she picked up the Best Actress statuette for her turn in Shakespeare In Love.
The bubblegum pink taffeta gown was created by Ralph Lauren, and features spaghetti straps, a V-neckline and full skirt. The simplicity of the cut means it has stood the test of time while symbolising everything that was iconic of that fashion era.
The actress wore it with a matching pink shawl and a Harry Winston diamond choker, bracelet and earrings set.
It’s said that at the time, Gwyneth didn’t work with a stylist, and simply went to Ralph Lauren a few days prior to the event to pick something out. It originally came with a corset-like top, which was switched for the more wearable one we know and love.

She didn’t want to put too much pressure on herself and simply wanted to “look really sweet” and it worked. On the red carpet, she even told a reporter, “If you think about how much people are talking about something as silly as a dress, I think it would make me absolutely incapable of leaving the house. So I just tuned it all out and wore what I thought was pretty.”
While the dress still divides some people (her mother Blythe Danner was said to hate it), it’s largely still loved by most to this day, and it looks like its story is set to carry on.
Gwyneth told The Hollywood Reporter that her daughter is welcome to it for her prom: “Maybe she’ll wear it to prom and do a Pretty in Pink thing and resew it and cut it up”.
