Per WWD’s resident historian and archives editor Tonya Blazio-Licorish, they “rose to prominence in the 1940s,” with “leather-trimmed straw basket bags, lacy openwork styles, and oversize totes in natural tones [becoming] staples for fashionable vacation spots in California, Palm Beach, and the Hamptons.” Notably, fashion muse Jane Birkin catapulted the accessory to new heights in the ’70s, taking it from protests to parties. Suddenly, everyone had to own one, and fashion houses from Ralph Lauren to Fendi started putting their own spins on the silhouette to turn it into a veritable colle...

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. The footwear you need to invest in for spring?

The Best Straight-Leg Jeans for Women to Wear From Work to Date Night This Spring

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission.

Team up the jean style with a trench coat and leather ankle boots for early spring, and you’ll become the office’s best-dressed employee. “In recent years, we’ve seen a huge shift in people moving away from the super-stretch skinnies and opting for more authentic, rigid fab...

On the Orange Carpet at the 2026 WNBA Draft

The 2026 WNBA draft rolled out the orange carpet at The Shed on Monday evening, where this year’s draft class showed up in looks inspired by old Hollywood, simplicity and feeling confident.  The night’s number-one draft pick, Dallas Wings-bound Azzi Fudd, wore a custom Coach gown covered in silver sequins.

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. The misting stations set up strategically around the Coachella grounds weren’t enough. This past weekend, during my inaugural trip to the iconic music festival, I felt like I needed more in the way of cooling for the entirety of the 80-plus-degree days. Glorious relief came in the form of Dyson’s portable fan debut, joining beloved beauty innovations from the brand like the Supersonic Nural. I was sent an early product sample of the HushJet Mini Cool fan, promptly packing the under-$100 arrival into my carry-on alongside ensembles from Hollister, Free People, and Nuuly. Little did I know how handy it would become in the dry desert environs (or how quickly the warm-weather godsend would sell out after officially releasing on April 9).

Monsta X Is Letting Their Next Chapter Unfold

Monsta X is on the move. “We’re just staying for two days,” says group member Kihyun. “We have to leave tomorrow.” Although the K-pop group’s latest visit to New York was brief, they made the most of each moment during a whirlwind two-day trip last week. Filling those days: an early call time for a live performance of their newest single “Heal” on “Good Morning America,” a visit to their Monsta X pop-up store in SoHo, a walk along the Hudson River and grabbing a slice from Joe’s Pizza. And lots of press for “Unfold,” their third English-language album.  Not even an early spring cold spell could keep their fanbase from coming out to welcome the group back to New York after their on-air performance, shortly after landing in town from L.A. “ That moment was so, so impressive,”  says Hyungwon, his hand held across over heart.  “[American fans] have been waiting a long, long time, because we couldn’t come here because of military service,” says Kihyun, whose hair is currently ...

Tom Blyth on Rom-coms, Dark Thrillers and Navigating Hollywood’s Spotlight

Despite charming the pants off of Netflix subscribers with his first foray into the rom-com space, Tom Blyth still can’t get used to the light and fun stuff.

Lululemon’s Viral 2-in-1 Dress Is Officially Restocked for Spring in Two Fresh Colorways You Can Shop Today

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. If you spent any time at all on TikTok last May, you know all about Lululemongate (what us style editors are unofficially calling the conversation — and controversy — that surrounded the release of Lululemon’s 2-in-1 Dress). Users immediately divided themselves into separate camps based on whether or not they thought the dress was chic to begin with, as well as all the ways in which it could and couldn’t be styled: sometimes pairing up the hot-ticket item with sneakers and other times extending its elongating powers with block-heeled mule sandals. By the end of that month, the dress was sold out in most sizes and colorways — surprising, considering people were expressing negative opinions about its steep cost in context of the piece’s material being nothing fancier than a stretchy, athletic nylon-slash-Lycra blend with some mulberry sil...

Qween Jean Reimagines Feline Fashion for Broadway’s ‘Cats: The Jellicle Ball,’ Inspired by New York Ballroom Culture

“My goal has been to allow every artist to shine, that their internal glow is the most beautiful thing about the design,” says Qween Jean from her costume studio in New York’s Garment District, seated next to a wall of her sketches. The costume designer is behind the roughly 500 looks created for “Cats: The Jellicle Ball,” which officially opens on Broadway on Tuesday after a hit run off-Broadway last year at the Perelman Performing Arts Center. The new interpretation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber classic “Cats” is directed by Zhailon Levingston and Bill Rauch and reimagines the Jellicle cats in the world of New York City ballroom culture, with the cats vogueing, dancing and competing for the chance to ascend to a new life. The production has been a years-long “love story” for Jean, who made her Broadway debut with the costumes for “Liberation” last fall.  Qween Jean Lexie Moreland/WWD “There’s been so many iterations that grew beyond our original ideas, that surpassed what our expect...

If you’ve ever Googled phrases like “clothes for tall people” or “how to make my pants not look like capris,” you might be entitled to compensation. On a more serious note, though, tall men and women are all too intimate with the struggles of finding a Goldilocks sweet spot when it comes to clothing size: Minidresses become shirts, suit pants awkwardly hike up the shin, and jumpsuits cause agonizing chafing and tugging. While pushes towards greater inclusivity in the fashion industry have paved the way for plus-size and petite options across most apparel styles, the same cannot be said for garments that accommodate taller figures. One exception? American Tall, which has been creating products “designed exclusively for height” since 2016. explore american tall's best styles Courtesy American Tall Its bestselling selections — from polos and lounge pants...

Patrick Ball Goes From ‘The Pitt’ to His Broadway Debut in ‘Becky Shaw’

Or the bad guy. “Anything I do — whether it be ‘The Pitt’ or ‘Hamlet,’ whether it be ‘Becky Shaw’ — I look for stories where there isn’t a clear good guy-bad guy dynamic,” says the actor.  Ball is currently on TV screens as Dr. Frank Langdon as “The Pitt” wraps up its second season, and also onstage in New York making his Broadway debut as one of the stars of “Becky Shaw.” The dark comedy, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2009, explores simmering power dynamics in the aftermath of a blind date. Ball stars as the young “feminist” husband of a woman grieving the loss of her dad. He introduces his new coworker, the titular Becky Shaw, into a complicated family dynamic.  “Each one of these characters are equally flawed and damaged — and also equally justifiable and redeemable,” says Ball, adding that he was attracted to the show’s overt versus covert power dynamics at play. “I thought that was really interesting, especi...
