Jennifer Aniston Ventures Outside of Her Fashion Comfort Zone—And Scores

Wearing an all-over abstract print presents its fair share of challenges, perhaps most of all finding a flattering fit. Fortunately, Jenner Aniston has the issue covered. The actress wore a black dress dotted in a subtle brush stroke motif while attending today's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony for actor and The Switch costar Jason Bateman.



Aniston is a known minimalist, often favoring neutral color palettes and wardrobe staples when off-duty. The print was a marked departure form her monochrome tendencies, though the visual element transformed what would have otherwise been just another little black dress. An accompanying belt at the waist lent the shift a sense of shape, while the asymmetric hem added movement. Her shoes were also a stylistic step forward: She recently stepped out in nude suede sandals while visiting New York, but the pink metallic pair seen here was more playful while still reading like a neutral, to similar leg-lengthening effect. She kept things classic with the rest of her accessories, like a quilted shoulder bag with a chain-link strap that coordinated with her usual touches of barely-there gold jewelry in the same finish.

Victoria Beckham Is Summer's Most Stylish Rebel

It looks like Victoria Beckham is switching things up, yet again. At the start of the month, the designer put a citrus-colored twist on her uniform and her posh stamp on suits and pajama dressing. Tonight at Christie’s in London, where she arrived to toast her son Brooklyn’s book debut, Beckham debuted a sleek alternative to her usual punchy palette that retained her cool approach to tailoring.


Beckham’s midnight blue and black combo was a total knockout from top to bottom. Her double-breasted, peak lapel blazer was the ideal foil for her foulard-inspired top, as the piece helped maintain the look’s structure. Equally fluid trousers amped up the louche ’70s vibes, while a discreet ladybag sans chain gave the outfit a clean finish.

Marion Cotillard Finds the Ultimate Concert Tee at Cannes

Marion Cotillard may be associated with the kind of classic French style she exemplified as the face of Lady Dior, but her Cannes wardrobe has been far from traditional. From arriving in sporty Y-Project at the photocall for her latest film, Ishmael’s Ghosts, to donning a custom Michael Halpern jumpsuit at the Chopard Trophy event, Cotillard and her stylist Elliot Bliss have kept things modern and edgy throughout her time at the festival. And her latest look may be her most daring yet.



Joining the luminaries of international film at the photoshoot for Cannes’ 70th anniversary, Cotillard chose a nostalgic t-shirt from Belgian label Filles à Papa which she paired with a lace skirt and glossy red Fendi thigh-high boots. The resulting combination was a sexy contrast to the prim dresses worn by other attendees. Forgoing the standard for unexpected pieces seems to be Cotillard’s preference lately, but her ultimate concert t-shirt was more than a fashion moment. Bearing the likenesses of David Bowie, Michael Jackson, George Michael and Prince and the words “Never Forget,” the shirt was a loving tribute to the music icons of the 80s. At an event all about celebrating the legacy of the past, the choice couldn’t have been more appropriate.

Bella Hadid Makes the Case for Spring Fur

Don’t put away your fur coat just yet. Bella Hadid stepped out earlier today in a duster that was light enough to transition into spring. While Hadid has sported a similar look before, her latest came in a brighter, bolder shade, ideally suited to the new season. With its distinct mustard hue, the coat recalled the Guo Pei masterpiece Rihanna wore to the Met Gala in May 2015. And if Rihanna can do it, well, Hadid can, too.

Hadid’s pelts were a nice contrast to her black T-shirt and RtA jeans, which, with the straight-leg silhouette, felt right in line with her often ’90s-minded fashion sense. She topped things off with a newsboy cap and tinted sunglasses, which also had a certain throwback slant. A pair of patent leather boots with sturdy platform heels elevated the off-duty moment and tied in with a shoulder bag in the same finish. Here’s hoping Hadid turns up on this year’s Met Gala red carpet with just as much stylish swagger.

Paris Jackson Makes Her Late Night Debut in the Perfect LBD

Between sitting front row at Givenchy’s Fall menswear and couture collection in January and appearing on the red carpet at this year’s Grammy Awards, Paris Jackson has been making her way through the rising star milestones. With magazine covers and millions of followers online, the daughter of pop legend Michael Jackson has officially joined the generation of celebrity children turned fashion influencers, and last night on The Tonight Show she continued her streak of winning looks. Stepping into the hot seat with host Jimmy Fallon, Jackson chose a star-patterned little black dress from Rebecca Vallance. She showcased the easygoing style she’s becoming known for by mixing the feminine ruffled mini with crimson Dr. Martens.



Sharing her thoughts on first crushes and favorite albums, Jackson gamely participated in the familiar late night antics. Her appealing yet affordable dress—the design retails for under $300—made it the right look for playing a messy round of egg Russian roulette with Fallon and transitioning to evening with the addition of rounded sunglasses and vintage leather jacket. Jackson and her stylist Sonia Young have been smart about maintaining the hippie sensibility of her off-duty wardrobe when dressing for important events. Even when she’s polished and ready for her close-up, Jackson’s choices retain an every-girl appeal that’s refreshing.
