Ombre hair has become a timeless trend embraced by countless celebrities across the globe. Its appeal lies in its versatility, soft and subtle, bold and high-contrast, natural or playful with pastel hues. Ombre, meaning "shaded" in French, is a hair coloring technique where the color gradually transitions from dark at the roots to lighter at the ends. This gradient effect can be as understated or dramatic as desired, making it an ideal style for the red carpet, music videos, photo shoots, and everyday glamour. The celebrity ombre lookbook showcases a variety of stunning interpretations, from sun-kissed brunettes to icy platinum transitions.

Marrakech in May is unseasonably tagine-hot. Hapless tourists are being felled by sunstroke merely from sauntering across the city’s pulsing medina square, which is all but abandoned by the native food and trinket traders, snake-charmers, and storytellers who will throng it in the desert cool of evening.

But in the oasis sanctuary of the Ksar Char-Bagh, all is balmy dolce far niente. A luxe spa hostelry built in imitation of a castle-like fort in the middle of the Palmeraie, it has crenellated towers that hide a private dipping pool and afford views down to a central marbled courtyard modeled on Granada’s Moorish Alhambra, and across the palm groves to the distant Atlas Mountains. Guests are lounging poolside in the shade of an allée of date palms, seemingly oblivious of the Academy Award–winning deity in their midst, who is the focus of the Vogue cover shoot in full fluster around them.

Jewelry has long been a symbol of elegance, luxury, and personal identity, but in recent years, it has taken on a new dimension as an essential part of street fashion. On sidewalks around the world, from Tokyo and Seoul to Paris and New York, accessories once reserved for formal occasions are being reimagined and integrated into casual, everyday looks. Street jewelry fashion is bold, expressive, and ever-changing. It thrives on layering, mixing materials, clashing styles, and above all, reflecting individual flair.

The leather jacket has long been a staple of rebellious fashion and timeless cool. From Marlon Brando to modern streetwear icons, this wardrobe essential has transcended decades and subcultures, proving its staying power in fashion. Dressing stylishly with a leather jacket goes beyond simply throwing it over your shoulders. It’s about how you pair it, how you layer it, and how you let it reflect your personal aesthetic. Whether you prefer a sleek moto cut, a vintage bomber, or a cropped style, the leather jacket is endlessly versatile and adaptable for every wardrobe.


Street style has become one of the most powerful forces in shaping modern fashion, influencing not only runways but retail and real-life wardrobes around the world. At the heart of this sartorial movement lies one key accessory that continues to make bold statements: the handbag. No longer just a functional item, handbags in street style fashion have transformed into icons of personal expression, status symbols, and outfit-defining pieces that can elevate even the simplest look.

When it comes to nailing casual glamour, few do it better than Alessandra Ambrosio. The Brazilian supermodel, known for her beachy waves, sun-kissed glow, and laid-back elegance, has long been a style icon both on and off the runway. One of her signature go-to looks? Short shorts, styled to perfection with a mix of bohemian flair and model-off-duty edge. Whether she’s strolling through the streets of Malibu, heading to a music festival, or running errands in Los Angeles, Alessandra proves that short shorts are a versatile wardrobe staple sexy yet wearable, playful yet elevated.
