Bella Hadid goes bra-free in a plunging silky slip dress as she joins friends for a baby shower
Bella Hadid showcased her country chic style as she joined her friends in the park for a picnic on Tuesday. The 28-year-old supermodel put on a daring display, forgoing a bra as she rocked a white slip dress paired with cowboy boots for her close friend's baby shower. She looked stunning with her long, blonde hair down, tucked behind her ears to showcase her oversize, gold earrings. She further accessorized with amber-tinted sunglasses, multiple bangle bracelets and a large, suede purse. She was in high spirits as she greeted a friend with a big hug before heading to the catering table to grab a plate for herself. The Orebella founder — who shared sizzling bikini photos of herself in Texas with her cowboy boyfriend Adan Banuelos — later took to Instagram to share photos of the special occasion. She posted several photos on her Instagram Story of her and her friends snapping photos and loving on their pal, the mom-to-be. The multihyphenate talent also posted a photo of her kissing her friend as they both cradled her baby bump. She also reposted a photo one of their friends took of her brushing the mom-to-be's hair out of her face. In another snapshot, she was helping her friend fasten her sandals and tying the string. She also shared a photo of her friend unwrapping a Prada gift box, presumably gifted by Hadid herself, alongside the text 'duh' and a laughing emoji. Then, the model shared a snap of herself in a cowboy hat and chaps at an equestrian event after getting on a plane to go straight from the baby shower in California to Texas. Since she started her cowboy boyfriend Adan Banuelos, Hadid moved to Texas and has been actively sharing photos of herself at horse riding competitions. Her boyfriend is the son of Ascencion Banuelos, the first Mexican-American to be inducted into the National Cutting Horse Association Hall of Fame. She was in high spirits as she greeted a friend with a big hug before heading to the catering table to grab a plate for herself He is renowned in horse riding and became one of the youngest people to be inducted into the NCHA Hall of Fame in 2017. Hadid is also an avid horse rider and often documents her love of the animal and sport online. In February 2024, Banuelos shared an image of Hadid on his Instagram and wrote in the caption: 'Congratulations to Bella and #MetallicTito on their first major aged event finals at their first aged event together!' He continues to support his girlfriend publicly via social media as she competes in equestrian events. In addition to her range range of alcohol-free fragrances, which she launched in May 2024, Bella is a co-founder of Kin Euphorics, a line of non-alcoholic functional beverages. Last year, she revealed that she has chosen to take a step back from modeling to focus on her businesses. She opened up about her evolution beyond modeling, telling Allure: 'After 10 years of modeling, I realized I was putting so much energy and love and effort into something that, in the long run, wasn't necessarily giving it back to me.'

The Coach Bag Andy Sachs Is Carrying Tells Us Everything About Her Style Now
Coach Gotham Slim Briefcase As The Devil Wears Prada 2 buzz builds, people aren't just curious about the plot - they're watching what Anne Hathaway's Andy Sachs will be wearing. It's been a while since we saw her first step into the fashion world, nervous and unsure, trading her lumpy blue sweater for designer looks. Her latest accessory choice speaks volumes about where her style stands now, and that's clear from the vintage Coach Metropolitan Briefcase she's been spotted carrying on set. It's not a flashy Chloe Paddington or a oversized Balenciaga City Bag drowning in bag charms or a Labubu's. Instead, it's a satchel with history - the kind of bag that's been around since 1987, built to last, with real character (no pun intended). Strutting the streets of New York, she's pulled the vintage Coach bag a few times to what we can only assume are days in the office. Our favourite look thus far has to be the crisp all-white ensemble - Phoebe Philo top and Nili Logan cotton-blend tapered pants - topped off with Modellerie spiked leather heels from Prada. Satchels like this have always been practical but stylish, favoured by people who want something functional but classic. Fashion insiders rarely wear the loudest pieces in the room. The more experience someone has in the industry, the more their style tends to strip back - fewer logos, quieter choices, better cuts, better materials. And now, decades later, these older models are almost impossible to find - especially in good condition. When they do surface on resale sites, they rarely stick around for long, often selling anywhere from £200 to £500 depending on the wear and colourway. The Metropolitan Briefcase fits into that world easily. It's structured, well-made, and doesn't ask for attention. Andy carrying it says a lot. It's not a stretch to say she could have any designer bag she wants and she's not interested in keeping up with trends or chasing the latest drop. Andy's Coach satchel is a quiet reminder that sometimes, the best style is the one with history behind it. 1. Coach Leather Satchel 2. Coach Gotham Slim Briefcase 3.

L'Oréal Q2 Organic Sales Rise 2.4%, Bolstered by Professional Products, Emerging Markets and China
NEW YORK – L'Oréal reported second-quarter 2025 sales declined 1.3 percent in reported terms but rose 2.4 percent on a like-for-like basis, bolstered by its Professional Products division, emerging markets and China. Adjusted for phasing linked to its 2024 and 2025 IT transformation, the world's largest beauty company's like-for-like sales growth was 3.7 percent in the three months ended June 30, versus 2.6 percent in the first quarter of this year. More from WWD Comme des Garçons and Max Richter Celebrate New Fragrance Boots to Open Stand-alone Fragrance Store Interparfums SA Stock Hit After Full-year Estimate Adjustment Sales for the maker of Lancôme, Garnier and La Roche-Posay products reached 10.74 billion euros in the second quarter. For the first half, L'Oréal's sales came in at 22.47 billion euros, up 1.6 percent on a reported basis and 3 percent in like-for-like terms. Currency fluctuations negatively impacted sales by 1.9 percent. 'As anticipated, L'Oréal's like-for-like growth accelerated between first and second quarter. The ongoing strength in emerging markets, the slight rebound in mainland China and the gradual recovery in North America more than offset the expected slowdown in Europe, once again validating our multi-polar model,' Nicolas Hieronimus, L'Oréal chief executive officer, said in a statement released after the market close Tuesday. He noted that acceleration was backed by a gradual improvement in the beauty market's growth worldwide, which L'Oréal expects will continue over the upcoming two quarters, as well as by the early success of the group's beauty stimulus plan, which is driven by key product launches. In the half, net profit excluding non-recurring items equaled 3.78 billion euros, up 1 percent. 'Our operating margin increased by 30 basis points in the first half, particularly thanks to rigorous management of our operating expenses,' said Hieronimus. 'Our numerous initiatives in the second half will benefit from strong brand support, notably our major upcoming launches including our new Prada for men and first Miu Miu fragrances.' By division and on a like-for-like basis, L'Oréal's Professional Products division's sales increased 6.5 percent to 2.55 billion euros; the Dermatological Beauty division's sales gained 3.1 percent to 3.86 billion euros; the Consumer Products division's sales grew 2.8 percent to 8.41 billion euros, and the Luxe division's sales advanced 2 percent to 7.66 billion euros. In geographic and like-for-like terms, the South Asia-Pacific, Middle East, North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa, or SAPMENA-SSA, zone and Latin America were the group's fastest-growing regions, registering sales increases of 10.4 percent and 10.3 percent to 2.06 billion euros and 1.66 billion euros, respectively. European sales equaled 7.53 billion euros, up 3.4 percent, while those from North America were 5.82 billion euros, a 2 percent rise. In the half, sales in North Asia declined 1.1 percent to 5.39 billion euros. On an adjusted basis, mainland China's business returned to growth, according to L'Oréal. Fragrance and hair care were the company's fastest-growing product categories in the half. The company remains optimistic about the beauty business overall. 'I am confident that we will continue to outperform the global beauty market — which we expect to grow, even amidst the current economic and geopolitical tensions — and to achieve another year of growth in sales and an increase in our profitability,' said Hieronimus, who will discuss results further with financial analysts and journalists during a call scheduled for Wednesday.

Why a 'Prada' to add value to Kolhapuris?
When the designer brand Prada SpA featured 'leather flat sandals' on the ramp at the Milan Fashion Week a month ago, Indians all over caught on they were being had. It was the modest 'Kolhapuri chappals' being plagiarized and they were rightly outraged. Prada did not acknowledge the cultural origins or the craftsmen who had made the 'Kolhapuris'a part of Maharashtra's daily wear; but what perhaps got the Indian goat was the pricing: A $5 slip-on tagged at $1,340 (Rs 1.16 lakh)! And the cheek, not a penny for the original designers of the unique toe-hold chappals? The backlash was severe. Prada had underestimated our nationalistic troll army, which went to town against the brand appropriating Indian culture. Within days, Prada acknowledged the Indian roots of its new footwear line, and accepted it was inspired by 'traditional Indian footwear'. But here's the rub. There are plenty upholding India's heritage. But why aren't there enough Indian entrepreneurs who can do what Prada did? Those who can design and brand 'kolhapuris' and other footwear and make them international products. Surely there is no rocket science about holding fashion shows andclevermarketing. The Kolhapuri is a 12th Century product. It has its innate strength. Why do you need a Prada to discover it? Low-value leather India has a huge leather industry. The domestic sector produces a whopping 3 billion square feet of leather annually and employs over 4.4 million people. India is the world's second largest exporter of leather garments, the third largest exporter of saddlery and harnesses and the fourth largest exporter of leather goods in the world. Unfortunately, it is high volume, but low value we export. In FY2023, leather and leather products exports peaked at about $5.4 billion. This is peanuts considering the size and the manpower the industry employs. Over the next two years, exports fell 18-20 percent, mainly does to the disruption of the Eurozone by the Ukraine war.

Devil Wears Prada 2 cast start filming and New Yorkers catch a glimpse
There is a feeding frenzy on the streets of Manhattan. The hunting pack: millennial fashionistas armed with iPhones and TikTok. The prey: Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci, Chanel, Fendi, Valentino and, most importantly, Prada. After years of speculation, the cast of the 2006 blockbuster The Devil Wears Prada are in New York City, filming scenes for a sequel slated for release around May next year. But whereas the first film was a sleeper hit, produced on a relatively small budget to surprisingly enormous acclaim, the second arrives with a pre-ordained fan base, dedicated followers of fashion who are all grown up and ready to reminisce about the old and obsess over the new. Social media is awash with videos filmed by fans. There is Hathaway, who leads as the wannabe writer Andy Sachs, strutting across Midtown; there is Streep, who plays the editor of Runway, Miranda Priestly, Anna Wintour-like in her ice-queen demeanour and enormous sunglasses; and there is Tucci as Nigel Kipling, the ever-loyal art director in perfectly clipped suits and jaunty glasses. Emily Blunt will rejoin the cast as Emily, the ambitious Runway colleague with a face like thunder, while Sir Kenneth Branagh makes a first appearance, as Priestly's probably-second husband. Other new names include Lucy Liu (Kill Bill, Charlie's Angels), Simone Ashley (Bridgerton), Justin Theroux (American Psycho, Mulholland Drive) and Pauline Chalamet (sister of Timothée and star of The Sex Lives of College Girls). The first movie was about Andy, a smug graduate desperate to write cerebral long-reads for a magazine that put only words on a page, but who was instead hired at one that was obsessed with pretty pictures. Instead of cracking her knuckles to write, Andy had to fetch the editor of Runway and her new boss, Miranda, coffees (Starbucks, tall, non-fat vanilla latte with two shots of espresso) and lunch (rare ribeye steak, two baked potatoes, a side of smashed potatoes and eight asparagus stalks, picked up from Smith & Wollensky, transferred on to a new plate then placed on her desk). 'That's all,' said Miranda famously, often after dumping her enormous fur coat on Andy's computer. The movie was based on the best-selling novel of the same name, written by the one-time Wintour assistant Lauren Weisberger. According to the news site Puck, the storyline for the second movie will follow Miranda as she navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing, going head-to-head with Blunt's character Emily, now a high-powered executive at Dior. With other details still redacted, fans are poring over the looks on the streets of the city to try to fill in the blanks: Andy standing next to a suitcase and a garment bag reading 'Runway', hinting at her return to the magazine; Miranda with the same haircut, same style, same sunglasses, as consistent as a Wintour; and Tucci's character, Nigel, sitting in a Midtown meeting room with Andy, hinting at their union as colleagues, but next to a sign for a new potential publication that reads: Adore. Instead of the high-glamour fashion transformation Andy had in the first movie, all thigh-high boots and bouncy blow-outs, the character seems to be looking much more rich-hipster Brooklynite this time around. She has been seen wearing the Chanel 'dad sandals' ($1,000+), almost orthopedic in their chunk and stamped with the two-Cs; a plain white tank top (Toteme, $110); and a denim jumpsuit from Re/Done in collaboration with Ford, whose previous collections have mostly consisted of cars. There has also been some of the brilliantly funny takes on workwear that the first movie did so well: this is high-camp fashion trying to disguise itself in pin stripes; this is corporate drag. Think a white T-shirt with a narrow panel that hits the floor like a train or the Margiela Tabi boots, which look normal until you notice that the big toe is separated from the rest. The genius of the first movie can be credited to Patricia Field, the now 83-year-old, Emmy-award winning costume designer also known as the brains behind Sex and the City, Ugly Betty and Emily in Paris. It is unclear whether she has been brought on for the sequel. A consummate New Yorker, Field was the owner of the legendary Manhattan boutique Pants Pub, later renamed eponymously. Field was famous then, as she is now, for her bright red hair and enormous winged glasses, leopard print on leopard print, punk on punk, cigarette in hand, a hard-rocking downtown rebel. 'My style is personal, happy, colourful,' she said. 'Everything in my closet goes together like a bowl of fruit.' Before the first Devil Wears Prada movie, Field took its director, David Frankel, to fashion week, 'to loosen him up a little and inspire him for the world he was about to shoot', Field later wrote in the Washington Post. For Miranda's style, she wanted something far away from trends, seeking special permission to rifle through Donna Karan's archive in a warehouse in New Jersey. The designer's representatives, she wrote, 'were astonished that I was the one climbing ladders and unzipping garment bags, and not some minion'. She continued: 'I pored [over] her designs from the Eighties and Nineties, which was when Donna introduced the world to what was known as her Seven Easy Pieces: bodysuit, skirt, tailored jacket, dress, leather element, white shirt and cashmere sweater.' She also fought for Miranda's famously white shock of hair, perfectly coiffed the same way every day, a mirror to Wintour's bob. Her white hair had been dreamt up by Streep's longtime hair and makeup stylist, J Roy Helland, who was inspired by then-septuagenarian model Carmen Dell'Orefice and Christine Lagarde, the French trade minister who went on to become managing director of the International Monetary Fund and president of the European Central Bank. When producers disagreed with the white hair, saying she should have a more stylish haircut, Field launched a campaign to persuade them otherwise. In the end, it was white. 'When Prada wrapped, everyone knew the picture was good,' she wrote. 'But just how well it would be received, we had no clue.' The film, which cost $41 million to make, grossed $326 million worldwide. Streep was nominated for an Oscar for best actress and Field for best costume design. And so back to New York, a city so tightly stacked on top of itself that it is impossible to keep any filming quiet, everyone watching and waiting to see if the devil will wear Prada, again.
