The actress bid farewell to the series with the show’s finale in May 2026, after more than 10 years playing Claire Fraser on the Starz series. “Having been on a show for over a decade, my time was always so limited as to what I could do,” Balfe told WWD in March. Now, the actress is “like a child in a candy store,” taking on new projects, such as the upcoming “Sense and Sensibility” adaptation, and hitting the red carpet afresh with couture, runway and luxury styles aplenty curated by stylist and collaborator Nicky Yates. “I’m just so grateful that I get to do different things,” Balfe said. “I’m really curious  about what else I can do.” WWD breaks down some of those new moments from the actress’ post-“Outlander” chapter ahead.

What to Snag (And What to Skip) From Ganni x Lululemon’s Latest Linkup

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Copenhagen’s It-girl–worn label Ganni is tired of Scandi-minimalist design codes. Otherwise, it’s completely energized — and obsessed with movement, as shown in the contemporary fashion house’s newest collaboration with activewear giant Lululemon. Launching October 15, the capsule (which has already received its fair share of hype on social media) is a happy marriage between Lululemon’s technical, performance-focused excellence and Ganni’s playful, quirky, expressive, and pattern-rich sartorial ethos. Considering the fact that the athletic apparel destination’s cult-favorite leggings, sports bras, puffers, and golf polos are almost exclusively swathed in single colors — with the occasional, vintage-inspired color-blocking popping up here and there — Ganni x ...

The Story Behind Elizabeth Taylor’s 1964 Yellow Wedding Dress and More Details on Her Marriages to Richard Burton

While Elizabeth Taylor’s love life was one of the most publicized of the 20th century, her chapter with frequent costar and two-time husband Richard Burton stands out the most. The couple collaborated on more than 10 films together, two of which included the infamously beleaguered 1964 film “Cleopatra” and 1966’s “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” Their two weddings and marriages were just as famous as their onscreen performances. Burton and Taylor met on the set of “Cleopatra,” beginning an affair, and were married twice: in 1964 and in 1975. The early stages of the couple’s relationship caused such a stir that even the Vatican got involved, rebuking the couple and calling for Taylor’s children to be taken from her. Burton and Taylor’s relationship was brought into focus and chronicled in HBO’s 2024 documentary series “Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes,” which re-evalua...

We’re Buying These 7 Retro-Inspired Running Shoes With Modern Performance Features for Fall

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Sneakers have, for the most part, outrun their sporting origins, becoming more of a fashion statement than a performance-optimized necessity. Running shoes utilized as sartorial staples gained momentum in the 1950s, when relaxed school dress codes and a growing appetite for leisure helped push rubber-soled kicks beyond the running track and into everyday wardrobes. Hollywood, naturally, also cemented their style credentials. Marilyn Monroe made the case for off-duty sneaker pairings when she was photographed wearing canvas Keds on the set of “Clash by Night” in 1952. Three years later, James Dean reinforced sneakers’ lifestyle appeal in a photograph taken on the set of “Giant,” donning Jack Purcell tennis shoes. Today, retro-inspired running shoes successfully bring together nostalgic silhouettes and contemporary footwear...

The Most-Reviewed Blanket Brand in the World Teams Up With LoveShackFancy — Shop New, Whimsical Styles Here

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Blankets have never received a dedicated show during Fashion Week… until Lola Blankets came along, that is, and made history by sending its lavish, faux-fur throws down the runway last year. The circa-2021 luxury company, founded by two brothers, is making indisputable waves on social media as we speak. It has sold well over a million blankets at this point, and A-listers from Oprah Winfrey (Lola is on her “Favorite Things” list!) to Simone Biles and Selena Gomez (she wrote her vows to Benny Blanco while resting on a Lola blanket) have cosigned the brand in recent years.

Cynthia Erivo Drips in More Than $50,000 Worth of Delicate Diamonds at the London Film Festival

Cynthia Erivo dripped in jewels and brought fall’s bold color trend to London in custom Prada on Tuesday for the London Film Festival screening of her new film “Prima Facie” at The Royal Festival Hall. Cynthia Erivo Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images f Not only did the gown bring a ray of bold sunshine yellow to the red carpet, the Italian luxury fashion house dress also perfectly frame the Oscar-nominated actress’ tattoos.

The gown was crafted with a slim-fitting silhouette, with a square neckline and a mostly figure-hugging design. The skirt of the dress created a long train, which trailed the actress on the red carpet and created a liquid, puddle-effect. Cy...

The Fall 2026 Boot Trends Making a Strong Case for Retiring Last Year’s Favorites

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. There are few things more revealing about fashion’s current mood than its footwear. And judging by the fall/winter 2026 runways, designers are feeling particularly indecisive, in the best possible way. One minute, we’re embracing the sensible appeal of equestrian boots; the next, we’re entertaining sculptural wedges and reptilian textures that have absolutely no interest in blending in. At Hermès, Proenza Schouler, and Tory Burch, riding boots returned with a utilitarian sensibility, favoring structured leather, streamlined shafts, and minimal hardware over anything too precious. The message? You needn’t own a horse, or have any intention of getting near one, to appreciate a good equestrian reference. Elsewhere, fashion’s appetite for animal prints took a decidedly reptilian turn. Isabel Maran...

Britney Spears’ and Justin Timberlake’s Unreleased Song Brings Their Famous Double-Denim Moment Back Into Focus

Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake are back. No, it’s not 2001, but it certainly feels like it. Spears recently released a previously unreleased song she cowrote with Timberlake, titled “She’ll Never Be Me,” which was originally recorded for Spears’ 2001 album “Britney.” Ahead of the 25th anniversary edition of the album, out Nov. 6, WWD is looking back at the style moments that defined Spears’ and Timberlake’s relationship.
