Mel B hasn’t let go of her inner Scary Spice, with the pop star promoting her memoir, “Brutally Honest,” during a slew of recent media appearances wearing several leopard-printed clothing items in recent days.
Arriving at the “Tamron Hall Show” Tuesday morning, the former Spice Girl — whose real name is Melanie Brown — sported a halter top leopard-printed catsuit, paired with a long black fur coat and gold chrome heels.
Brown, 48, exited the “Drew Barrymore Show” later on the same day in a similar getup, this time sporting a floor-length leopard-printed trench coat and the same stilettos.

The ”Wannabe’ singer styled the second look with a black bodysuit and a pair of reflective sunglasses and wore big hoop earrings with her curls up in a high ponytail.
The former “X-Factor” judge has been fully embracing the leopard look, with her back-to-back outfits on Tuesday just the latest in a slew of cat-tastic finds of late.
On Monday, the pop sensation was spotted in New York City sporting another set of statement-making coats, the first shorter leopard-printed coat, which she wore over a long-sleeved blue turtleneck top and knee-high lace-up boots.

She also arrived on set of “The View” on March 25 in a different trench coat and matching Christian Louboutin heels.
Despite her dedication to the animal print, none of Brown’s travel outfits were featured during her March 25 appearance on “Today with Hoda and Jenna,” where she jokingly walked off set after being asked about the potential of a Spice Girls reunion tour.
However, she did spill that “us five” — meaning herself, Melanie Chisholm (Sporty Spice), Emma Bunton (Baby Spice), Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice) and Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice) — are currently “working on something that’s going to be announced soon.”
“For starters, I didn’t think I was going to win,” Catherine Holstein says of being up for the CFDA American Womenswear Designer of the Year award this past November. “On top of that, I don’t like attention.” So when presenter Christina Ricci called her name, she found herself onstage “looking at all these designers I have admired and respected for so long and thinking, ‘Are you serious?’” At the podium, the soft-spoken designer cradled the silver trophy in her hands, saying, “I’ve had many failures, so I guess this is failing up.”
In a world of social media braying and relentless self-promotion, Holstein’s modesty is refreshing. She lets her clothes speak for themselves, and like her, they’re understated, but come with some intriguing undertones. In mad-scientist fashion, she’s constantly tweaking the formula, splicing together combinations that shouldn’t work, but do: cashmere bralettes, sheer stirrup leggings, or partially unzipped leather skirts that look like slick wet suits. Often, there’s a union of primness and daring, as in a sheer bodysuit worn under a flower-print skirt, or a black bra layered over a cream sack dress. Even her touchstones, as cited in her show notes, are unexpected—they range from Isaac Bashevis Singer to David Lynch to the darker, pre-Disney-fied New York depicted in Martin Scorsese’s After Hours. Even the name on the label is deceptively complex. In addition to being a stylized version of her nickname, it’s modeled on the Greek word χαίτη, which translates to “long, flowing hair” (something both Holstein and many of her muses possess).

Holstein had a peripatetic upbringing between California and London. Her fashion career began in earnest in 2005, when she was still a student at Parsons School of Design. Barneys New York bought her junior thesis collection. She dropped out of school, then set out to launch an eponymous label, but the learning curve was steep. “I was a kid out of college! I had no idea what I was doing, and that does not make for a good business,” she says now. “You learn through time and experience, and I didn’t have that then.”
Shuttering the line circa 2008, she went on to work at classic American brands including Vera Wang and Gap—experiences that influenced her next step. Khaite, which she launched in 2016, is “rooted in American sportswear—the functionality, the versatility, and the reimagining of materials…and in moving that concept forward through a specific point of view.”
Holstein has scored the rare hat trick in fashion: She is critically acclaimed, beloved by street-style stars and internet-shattering celebrities, and (as any designer will tell you, this is the hardest part) wildly successful to the point where her items regularly command the hefty wait lists usually seen at much more established fashion houses. Her designs feel like modular building blocks for a modern wardrobe, but not in the interchangeable manner of much minimalist fashion. They “are designed to be combined and recombined, yet each is special on its own, because it’s been thoroughly considered. It’s a very American approach,” she says, and it’s one that has won Holstein a fervent following. When I tell her that those acolytes include many ELLE editors, she’s flattered, but doesn’t have a theory as to her fans’ loyalty, saying, “That may be a better question for our customer than for me.” And who is that customer? “She is intelligent and confident. That can apply to any age, time, and place.” Some of her designs have even gone viral on celebrities like Katie Holmes, an experience Holstein describes as “crazy. It is something that you just can’t put into words.”

Ultimately, she allows, the secret sauce is “the emotion and materials. I am a big believer in ‘Good ingredients make good food.’ We are very specific with the use of our fabrics and the factories we work with to create the best possible product.” Holstein professes not to pay attention to trends, even the “quiet luxury” moment we’re currently experiencing. Though she’s not shouting, Holstein’s woman definitely wants to be seen.
For fall 2023, the designer focused on power, which she distinguishes from strength. While some of her pieces channeled the traditional definition of power dressing (think tailored coats and pinstripes), in Holstein’s world, a leather and shearling top paired with a leather skirt could just as easily qualify. “Power dressing can mean whatever you want it to mean,” she says. “It’s what makes you feel like the best version of yourself, and there is power in that.” You could imagine a modern-day version of Kim Basinger’s character in 9½ Weeks stalking the streets of SoHo in these looks.

Appropriately enough, Holstein recently opened her first store in the neighborhood, on Mercer Street—designed by her husband, architect Griffin Frazen. The space is as somber as a medieval tomb and as spare as a Brutalist gallery, but there’s a hint of lightness and earthiness—via two skylights, under one of which is planted an evergreen shady lady tree. The result, she says, is “the physical representation” of Khaite. “It should live and breathe as a body. It’s meant to be interactive. The sounds, the tones, the music, the real tree, and the changing light—it brings life into the space.”
In March, the growth equity firm Stripes, which has invested in other cultishly followed companies like A24 and Erewhon, made an investment in Khaite; the amount was not disclosed. Holstein says that with this infusion of capital, she wants to expand further in retail. She also says that, contra her shyness, “I love putting on a runway show.” Fashion Week “is my favorite time of year,” she says, so expect her to channel significant energy into the catwalk.
What continues to inspire her, and what might be as evergreen as both her designs and her shady lady tree, is the city she’s called home for almost 20 years. “I love New York more every day. It’s a city of extremes, brutal and beautiful. People don’t end up here accidentally. They’re driven here by an intensity I’ve never encountered anywhere else,” she says. “It’s a choice to come and it’s a choice to stay. One of the things I love most about New York is that even as it constantly changes, it doesn’t shed its history—it carries it forward. I think of Khaite in a similar way.”
This story appears in the September 2023 issue of ELLE.
Véronique Hyland is ELLE’s Fashion Features Director and the author of the book Dress Code, which was selected as one of The New Yorker’s Best Books of the Year.

Like many high schoolers in the early to mid-2000s, Telsha Anderson-Boone spent a lot of time scrolling through Tumblr. A fashion obsessive—now 30, she owns and operates her own store, called T.A., in New York—she saved any image that piqued her interest to a folder on her computer called “Style.”She didn’t realize it at the time, but many of the looks she liked had something in common: They were all designed by Phoebe Philo, the then-creative director of Celine (the brand was styled “Céline” during her tenure, but has since rebranded sans the accent). Later, Anderson-Boone changed the folder name to simply “PP.”

In September, Philo will launch her own eponymous label after a five-year hiatus from the industry and public life. Excitement around her return has been mounting pretty much since the day she left. But for many shoppers in their late twenties and early thirties, who were in middle school when Philo was at Chloé (2001–2006), and high school and college when she was at Céline (2008–2018), the occasion is an especially momentous one. Finally, after years of collecting “Old Céline,” as they call it, and hearing their elders talk about the good old days, when it was everywhere and theirs for the taking, they can purchase Philo’s ready-to-wear fresh off the rack and participate in the frenzy themselves.

“When I was in college, I could barely afford a slice of pizza, so at the time there was no way I was buying $800 shoes or a $1,500 dress,” Anderson-Boone says. “So I saved them [to the folder], and then I began to discover resale.” Over time, she tracked down and invested in her Old Céline favorites: leather mules, the two-tone Madame ankle boots from spring 2018, and the mohair slides from fall 2018. (Accessories, which tend to be more affordable, are oftentimes an entry point for young consumers.) “I waited a long time,” she says. Now she can’t wait to mix the old with the new.

“I remember watching a Style.com video about her spring 2010 Céline show and thinking, Oh, this is going to change the tides,” says Blythe Marks, 28, a vintage dealer and writer, who was a teenager living in Phoenix at the time. (She also collected Céline images under the Tumblr tags “Art Gallery Owner” and “AGO.”) “By fall 2010, you couldn’t go anywhere without minimalism being the buzzword, and Phoebe was at the forefront of that. So I was intrigued from the jump.”

“It gave [me] permission to be bold but also relaxed,” says Alexis Novak, 32, founder of Tab Vintage, of Philo’s Céline era, from which she’s since collected about 60 pieces. “She humanized fashion, in a way, and made me realize that you can just wear sneakers and some cool tailored trousers and still be stylish.” Olivia Haroutounian, 24, a vintage dealer and TikToker based in Texas who collected Philo’s more “girly” Chloé-era pieces on Poshmark in high school, also found her Céline look to be aspirational, yet attainable. “It felt like the adult I wanted to be,” she says.

Beyond what Philo sent down the runway—which evolved beyond minimalism to offer something more eclectic, yet equally wearable, by the end of her time at Céline—her personal style inspired a cult following as well. “I definitely bought a pair of Adidas because of her in high school,” says Eden Pritikin, 26, also a collector.
I hope she does literally whatever she wants.”—Blythe Marks
This bodes well for a line that, although backed by LVMH, has no heritage to live up to other than that of its founder. “I hope she does literally whatever she wants,” Marks says. That said, she still has some wishes: Given that Philo’s taken time away from the spotlight, “I would like her to address an aging woman’s wardrobe. What is sexy for women in their fifties and beyond that isn’t being dictated by an algorithm or the fantasy of a designer? I started buying Céline because I could see myself, as someone in my twenties, wearing it until I am [Philo’s] age, or older, and I hope she continues that.”

Philo’s younger fans have grown up along with her, and it’s the timeless, principled quality of her output that appeals to them, especially in today’s era of rapid microtrends and empty buzz. Pretty much whatever she does, they’ll follow her to the end, Marks says: “Even if it’s just a good white T-shirt.”

Her work has since been featured in The New York Times, T Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and more. She also took *that* video of Larry David at NYFW.
Style Points is a weekly column about how fashion intersects with the wider world.
So much for that old stereotype about New Yorkers only wearing black. Laura Baker tells me that her fashion buyer friends from other cities have been marveling that “New York is like a bag of Skittles. People are wearing color here.” Baker adds, “That’s what we like. We bought a lot of color.”
“We” refers to the retail destination ESSX, soft opening on Thursday. When I visited last week, Baker, the store’s co-founder and retail director, and her team were putting the finishing touches on the 7,000-square-foot Leong and Leong-designed interior. “Everyone kept saying, ‘We can’t wait to see it.’” she tells me of the still-slightly-raw space. “And we kept saying, ‘Well, us too.’ Two weeks ago, our project manager, Darren, was like, ‘It’s going to open. It’s going to open.’ I’m like, ‘Are you sure?’ There’s plaster, wires, everything, but nope, it’s here. It’s all happening.”

On the Lower East Side’s bustling Essex Street, the store looks out onto a liquor store and a vape shop. A sign for “New York Hardcore Tattoos” can be seen from the corner. Inside, conversely, is a calm, spaceship-like space, a UFO in the concrete jungle, dotted with ottomans from Darren Romanelli that are made from upcycled jeans and T-shirts. Baker says the team wanted the store to reflect “what we want to buy, what the kids in the neighborhood are wearing, versus—there’s nothing wrong with them, but big brand names that are highly promoted. We wanted to bring back a real discoverability aspect.”
We want to see New York win.”
Together, we reminisce about the lost days of New York independent retail: befriending that sales associate at Barneys who would clue you in to the right up-and-coming labels, or stumbling across a new designer in Opening Ceremony in a buzzed post-brunch haze. Further back in time is Charivari, where Marc Jacobs once cut his teeth as a stock boy. Those kinds of places have become thin on the ground, thanks to the pandemic, economic uncertainty, and the dominance of e-commerce. But if anyone can make brick-and-mortar great again, it’s the team behind ESSX: Baker and co-founders Yoel Zagelbaum and Abe Pines, along with style director Lauren Ferreira, who has worked at Kith and as a wardrobe assistant to Drake.

When Baker told people about the new project, she says, she heard a lot of sentiments like, “‘I can’t believe you’re opening retail. It’s so scary. You’re in for it. Say goodbye to the rest of your life. Or ‘If it’s not experiential, then it’s not worth doing.’ Or ‘How are you redefining retail?’ And the thing is, what does that even mean? I see headlines all the time about experiential retail. Do you want a circus tent in here? Do you want acrobats coming from the ceiling?”
Ultimately, she says, “I think experiential is person to person. People have forgotten how to interface and have a conversation.” She wants a trip to the store to feel “more like a hangout: ‘Hey, let’s get to know the brand.’ If they find something amazing, I mean, we hope they walk away with something, but it really is about learning.”

So, to recap: no circus tents or VR wizardry are in evidence, but what ESSX will offer is fashion, and lots of it. Younger customers “have money, they have resources, they’re hyper-intelligent, they have the internet at their fingertips, they geek out on stuff,” she says. Baker has been working with emerging brands for 15 years through her agency PBLC TRDE, and she eagerly enumerates the store’s eclectic buy. ESSX will be the only store in New York to carry Berlin designer Ottolinger; other labels on tap include “hometown hero” Winnie, Ahulwalia, 4S Designs, Wales Bonner, and Drake favorite Glass Cypress, alongside heavy hitters Comme des Garçons and Jil Sander. The offerings skew look-at-me; Baker disdains the current moment of minimalism and quiet luxury. “We hope our customer spends their money at Uniqlo on the basics, versus getting those here,” she says. “We have a very niche audience, but we are confident that they are going to support the store and everything that’s in here, and also, tell their friends.” There’s a particular emphasis on repping local talent because, Baker believes, “New York stores just don’t support New York brands.” (Those who can’t make the trip to NYC, never fear; there will also be an e-commerce arm to the business.)

Vintage is sprinkled throughout; Baker goes through a rack picking out a Deee-Lite T-shirt, then a Madonna shirt that references HBO, “so it’s real vintage.” A ring of all-black band tees, sporting names like Metallica and Destiny’s Child, anchors the space. They came from a mysterious figure only identified as Mr X, who she describes as “a very legit vintage dealer. He works with a huge celebrity clientele, so he’s constantly buying and trading with different celebrity collectors. He’ll go right into their closets. People,” including celebrity stylists, “have been seeing it on our personal Instagrams and some are spoken for already.”
Taking me through a “secret passage” to the mirrored VIP section, Baker gestures to Ferreira, who’s wearing a brightly colored Saint Laurent soccer jersey. It was her idea to create this style studio, if, say, a celebrity is in town and looking for a personal shopping session. Also in the works: a rental studio that will cater to stylists and editors.

The store décor is meant to reflect the neighborhood around it. ESSX is working with NewCo, the design and creative agency founded by Rob Cristofaro, who also founded LES staple Alife. “They were the first ones to work with [A$AP] Rocky, the first ones to work with Drake. That was a community playground for so many people, but also the birth of their brand and the birth of real sneaker culture. So it was important to work with someone who really had ties to the community,” Baker says. Local florist Joy Flowers will provide arrangements for the space, while 78-year-old artist and neighborhood standby Clayton Patterson, who has documented the Lower East Side since the ’70s, will get a retrospective in the store timed to New York Fashion Week. A partnership with the Henry Street settlement will see the store train local youth in all things fashion and retail under one of its team leaders. “Because we’re all from here, we want to give back to the community,” Baker explains. “We want to see New York win.”
Just as stores like Fiorucci and Dapper Dan once served as bustling community spaces, ESSX has designs on becoming a hub for creative types. For the store’s official opening in September during fashion week, “all these designers are coming in, from Spain, Japan, Korea…and that’s where the magic happens. That’s when people start collaborating and and making deals. I’m not saying the store’s going to do all that,” she adds. “But hopefully we’re a step in the right direction.”

Elizabeth Hurley proved once again that age is just a number as she showed off her fit figure in a chic bikini on Instagram Thursday — and her cheetah-print swimsuit had fans going wild.
The “Austin Powers” star, 57, modeled the chain-link Cheetah Bikini ($182) from her own Elizabeth Hurley Beach line in the snaps, looking relaxed in the Maldives as she beamed at the camera.
“Yay!! My favourite Cheetah Bikini is back in stock” she captioned the post, adding four dancing emojis and a link for fans to shop her suit.
Hurley accessorized her tiny two-piece with beaded hoop earrings, a smoky eye and beachy waves.

The star, who’s currently vacationing at the Vakkaru Maldives resort, also made sure to show off the turquoise waters outside her luxury villa.
Fans were in awe of the “Gossip Girl” star’s youthful looks, with one commenting, “She has clearly made some Faustian deal to stay smoking hot forever.”
“So good to see a woman from my age group look so damn good,” another added, while a third Instagram user said, “Gosh, how you manage to look so beautiful all these years, inside out. Love seeing women like you succeed.”

Jennifer Aniston emulated Marilyn Monroe’s iconic “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” dress — and Kim Kardashian’s 2022 Met Gala outfit — when she attended a photo call in Paris for her new movie, Murder Mystery 2, last night.
The “Friends” actress, 54, brought back memories of the Hollywood blonde’s gown when she posed on the red carpet in a flesh-colored dress covered in sparkling crystals, with the look coordinating with the golden lights shining on the Eiffel Tower in the background.

Aniston’s version of the dress featured spaghetti straps and a longer hem as compared to the thicker straps and slim silhouette of the Monroe gown Kardashian borrowed for the Met Gala.
Just like Kardashian — who caused controversy when she donned Monroe’s actual historic gown — Aniston added a white fur draped around her arms as she bundled up along the Seine.
The “Morning Show” star wore her hair in her usual straight style and kept her jewelry simple, accessorizing with a gold bracelet and several gold rings.

The “Break-Up” actress isn’t the only star to channel Monroe with her recent look.

Ana de Armas — who played the Hollywood legend in “Blonde” — wore two Marilyn-inspired outfits for the 2023 Oscars, sporting back-to-back sparkling nude dresses for a pre-party and the awards themselves.
Along with the similarities to Monroe’s gown, one fan pointed out on Twitter that Aniston’s frock was actually similar to one her character, Rachel Green, wore on a 1996 episode of “Friends.”
It seems like a nude dress never goes out of style.
Lauren Sánchez can’t get enough of boyfriend Jeff Bezos.
The former news reporter, 53, and Amazon founder, 59, showed some PDA while on an “unforgettable” date at the Versace Fall-Winter 2023 fashion show in Los Angeles.
“Right before the Versace fashion show in LA with my favorite person ❤️,” Sánchez captioned a snap with her billionaire beau on Instagram Thursday.
“The clothes were jaw-dropping and Donatella Versace is a fashion icon. Thanks for an unforgettable show. @donatella_versace.”

The pair — who began dating in 2019 — matched in all black, with Sánchez rocking a dress covered in belts while Bezos opted for jeans and a patterned suit jacket.
After getting settled into their front row seats, Sánchez gave Bezos a sweet kiss on the cheek, as seen in a photo posted by Derek Blasberg.
The twosome looked every bit in love as they snuggled up to one another as Sánchez latched onto Bezos.
“When I first heard his laugh, I was like, ‘Whoa! What is that?’ Now I love it,” she told WSJ. Magazine last month.
The pair started dating in 2019.WireImage
“He’s so happy, he inspires me every day, he makes me a better person every day; he’s the most loving human I know,” she said.
Prior to their romance, Bezos was married to MacKenzie Scott, whom he divorced in April 2019 after 25 years of marriage. The former couple share four children.
Similarly, Sánchez was married to Patrick Whitesell for 13 years. The twosome settled their divorce in October 2019.
Valentino is living up to his fashionable namesake.
Julia Fox took her mind-bending fashions from New York City to Italy, turning up at the Diesel show during Milan Fashion Week with a special date: her 2-year-old son.
The actress posed with the tot while arriving at the show, wearing a tiny bandeau top emblazoned with the brand’s logo, a low-slung pair of jeans and all-denim accessories, including her heels and purse.
Valentino was also decked out in denim, sporting a tiny jacket and jeans with a vest over a T-shirt and adorable black cowboy boots.

The “Uncut Gems” star held Valentino and showed off her signature fox-eye makeup look and her freshly dyed red hair, which she debuted in NYC earlier this month and did herself.
Diesel is a particularly significant fashion brand for Fox; not only was she born and raised in Italy, but she also starred in the brand’s Fall 2020 ad campaign.

She really got the fashion treatment in January 2022 when her then-boyfriend, Kanye West, wooed her on their second date by surprising her with an “entire hotel room” filled with 40 looks by the brand — with a rep telling Page Six Style at the time that the clothes totaled up to $100,000 — which the rapper curated for her.
“It was every girl’s dream come true. It felt like a real Cinderella moment. I don’t know how he did it, or how he got all of it there in time,” Fox wrote in a blog-style Interview magazine story at the time, which was accompanied by a full photo spread showing the pieces and West dressing up his then-muse.

Though the highly publicized romance didn’t even last a month, Fox’s relationship with Diesel has stood the test of time.
One week after her breakup from Ye, Fox dutifully sat front row at the brand’s fashion show — solo.
The actress, 33, took to the runway for Alexander Wang’s first New York Fashion Week show since 2019 last night — and her see-through ‘fit definitely turned heads.
Wearing an oversized, sparkly black blazer and a pair of beige panties under a sheer, nude mesh dress covered in crystals, Fox went sans bra as she strutted during the designer’s “Cupid’s Door” show, closing out one of the presentation’s three acts with her bold look.
She wore her hair slicked back in a straight style and added a bold red lip, sporting clear heels to go with the outfit’s see-through theme.
In a video posted on Wang’s TikTok, Fox spoke with controversial beauty Youtuber Nikita Dragon — who was arrested in November after she was charged with felony battery — saying, “I feel like a sexy siren, ready to suck souls.”
Indeed she held open her blazer, showing off her bare chest both in the interview and when she eventually hit the runway in the same look.

The designer’s return to New York Fashion Week marks a new chapter for Wang and his brand following multiple sexual assault allegations that emerged three years ago, and it’s no surprise Fox took part in the flashy show.
Along with her appearance in the runway show, Fox rocked several other standout looks in New York this week — and in typical fashion, she found a way to make denim walk the wild side.
On Tuesday night, she wore an outfit by Mpaz Studio that was constructed entirely from waistbands of jeans, with the thin strips of fabric draping across her in a dress of sorts and exposing plenty of side boob.

Attending a party hosted by “Gossip Girl” actor Evan Mock and Pandora, the mom of one sported denim Gia Borghini booties ($646) and later covered up with an oversized jean jacket.
Fox kept the style moments going last night as she wore a ripped white crop top with a shiny, cargo-style skirt and a matching jacket at Saks Fifth Avenue’s NYFW kickoff party at L’Avenue restaurant.
Joining stars like Emma Roberts for the event, the actress — who recently defended her tiny NYC apartment — added a spiked black collar choker and tall platform combat boots to complete her edgy outfit. Plus, she appears to have darkened her recently bleached brows, though she whittled them down to a very nineties skinny shape.
The Fox fashion moments are bound to get more exciting as NYFW officially kicks off tomorrow.
Sylvester Apollo Bear is already following in his model mom’s footsteps.
Emily Ratajkowski’s 1-year-old son had landed his first fashion campaign, joining his mother in Tory Burch’s new spring 2023 ads.
“Sly ! My little 👽⭐️ alien superstar. I love my Tory family so much,” the “Gone Girl” actress, 31, captioned a carousel of Instagram photos from the mommy-and-me shoot Tuesday.
In the images, little Sly models three different costumes, dressing up as a neon green alien (accessorized with a teeny matching Tory Burch bag), a chicken and a carrot.
He also tries on an adult-sized denim jacket that reaches down to his ankles.
