Dua Lipa returns as the face of YSL Beauty’s Libre, unveiling a campaign that channels a bold, unapologetic glamour and a spirit of fiery independence.
There is a specific kind of magnetism that only a confident woman in a tuxedo jacket possesses. Dua Lipa embodies this entirely in the new YSL Beauty Libre “Free at Heart” campaign. She’s no stranger to bold fashion statements, but here, she commands the frame with a powerful, almost defiant elegance that feels completely new.
After a long period of sartorial experimentation, Margaret Qualley attends The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon debuting a sleek, minimalist look that makes a powerful case for the new wave of American chic.
Ah, there she is. I must admit, for a while there, it felt as though Margaret Qualley was caught in a fashion-limbo of sorts. We’ve seen her in some… complicated Chanel looks—grand, yes, but often lacking the effortless grace that seems to be her natural state. It was a classic case of wearing the dress rather than letting the dress be worn. But then, on the evening of August 14, 2025, she attended The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon , and something just clicked. It was not a grand gesture. It was a perfectly simple, classic gesture. A beautiful sartorial exhale.
For her late-night appearance, she unveiled a streamlined vision of American elegance. The piece in question? A crisp, ivory Sir Noemi halter mini dress. Made from a lightweight linen blend, the dress’s genius lies in its severe simplicity. The halter neckline and straight bustier cut create a modern, almost architectural silhouette, while the short hemline allows for a clean, uninterrupted line. It’s a design that dares to be unembellished, confident in its own form and function. It’s almost a direct echo of that pure, confident minimalism we saw sweep through fashion in the ’90s—the kind of look that whispers rather than screams.
And the shoes, darling, the shoes. She grounded the look with a pair of matching Gianvito Rossi pumps, the perfect counterpoint. Their delicate point and stiletto heel elongate the leg and anchor the entire ensemble in a realm of high-fashion polish, preventing the look from veering into a casual territory. The clean, monochrome palette from head-to-toe—or perhaps I should say from nape to pointed toe—shows a masterful understanding of visual harmony. There was no need for a fussy necklace, no clashing accessories. The story was the silhouette.
This is a powerful statement. Is this the end of her more experimental, sometimes-awkward style journey? One can only hope. What Qualley has done here is a testament to the power of returning to basics, to the idea that a simple, well-cut dress is sometimes the strongest tool in a celebrity’s arsenal. It’s a look that’s not about the brand’s history, but about her own. It’s an act of sartorial reclamation, and quite frankly, it’s thrilling to witness.
Now, if you want to capture this same kind of effortless confidence, the message is clear.
Get The Margaret Qualley Look
- Embrace the Halter: Look for a dress with a clean, classic halter neckline. It’s universally flattering and feels both vintage and incredibly modern.
- The Power of Monochrome: Choose a single, bold color—or a crisp neutral like ivory or black—and stick with it from your dress to your shoes. It creates a sleek, cohesive line.
- Invest in a Classic Pump: The right shoe can make an entire outfit. A pointed-toe pump, like the Gianvito Rossi ones Margaret chose, is a timeless investment that elevates any look.
- Minimal Accessories: Less is always more. Let the lines of the dress and the confidence of the silhouette speak for themselves. A single ring or a pair of earrings is all you need.
This wasn’t just another look on a late-night show. This was a statement. A homecoming. A testament to the power of chic, American-style simplicity.
Joséphine Jobert trades the idyllic scenery of Saint Marie for a captivating editorial, fusing casual elegance with raw, unfiltered allure.
There’s a certain magic to a candid, sun-drenched photograph that a perfectly lit studio shot can never replicate. In her latest photos, Joséphine Jobert gives us a masterclass in this kind of unstudied, effortless chic. It’s a series that feels less like a formal photoshoot and more like a stolen moment, a quiet afternoon where every detail—from the light to the pose—is simply right.
In one shot, she stands framed by the stark lines of a window, her arms raised in a gesture that is both languid and strong. She wears a black cropped top, its lace-up front and intricate lace detailing adding a soft, feminine contrast to the sharp geometry of her surroundings. Paired with form-fitting black trousers, the look is simple yet powerful, a modern uniform of confident ease. The single gold cuff on her wrist and a delicate necklace are the only accessories needed to complete this minimalist urban portrait.
Then, there’s the second image, a study in a different kind of grace. Here, she’s seated on a wooden lounge chair, wrapped in what appears to be a flowing white sheet. The fabric drapes and pools around her, creating an ancient, almost statuesque silhouette that recalls a classical muse. It’s a look that requires a certain poise and, more than anything, a great deal of confidence—something she clearly has in spades. The play of light and shadow on her skin and the soft, tousled waves of her hair make the entire scene feel intimate and timeless.
