How Kate Gets Top Designers to Tweak Outfits Just for Her - Helping Her Avoid Being too Risqué
Fan's claim, Kate Middleton's dresses are adapted from the catwalk to make them suitable for a future queen. Edgy clothes that catch the eye on the catwalk rarely meet the exacting standards of the royal dress code. Adapting dresses is something the Duchess of Cambridge has done since soon after her marriage to Prince William in 2011

25 Photos That Show How Facial Hair Can Change Your Entire Look
Whether you prefer the softness of a clean-shaven face or the sophistication of an impeccably groomed beard, there’s no denying that facial hair, or the absence thereof, can entirely alter your appearance. Some men rock a smooth chin, while others grow out their wiry scruff to camouflage their baby face—and some switch it up depending on their mood or even the time of year. (Movember, anyone?) However you choose to tend to your ever-growing stubble, it’s clear there’s no one-style-fits-all when it comes to facial hair.

I Get Tons of Compliments on My Favorite Jeans (and They Cost $10)
Any of my coworkers can tell you that my daily uniform, 90 percent of the time, consists of jeans and a sweater or button-down. But that said, denim and I have a long, fraught relationship history; I’ve always struggled to find pairs that fit the way I want.

Kate Middleton's 16 Best Hairstyles Ever
Let's be real: Kate Middleton has been killing the hair game since way before she became the Duchess of Cambridge. The woman clearly has great genes — there's no denying that. But since gaining 24/7 access to what we'll refer to as the "royal glam squad," her hairstyles have only continued to get even more awe-inspiring. Most recently, Middleton traded in her waist-length strands for a shorter, just-below-the-shoulders 'do that proved a refreshing departure from the style she had for years. She may have a different, arguably more "sophisticated" look now — which of course, we're all about — but we'd be lying if we said we didn't live for looking down memory lane at all the head-turning hair moments she's sported over the years. Speaking of which, let's take a moment to stop everything and appreciate all the times the Duchess has hit us with a dose of major hair envy.

How Meghan Markle’s Beauty Has Changed Since Becoming a Royal
The Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle (born Rachel Meghan Markle) did not have a predictable or classic rise to British royalty—and the world (including us) is obsessed with knowing everything about her. Over the past year, UK Google searches for the duchess were more than double the amount of those for her sister-in-law Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge. However intriguing and atypical as her life is, the Duchess of Sussex has kept it fairly consistent with her beauty evolution. She has favored a bold eye with a nude or pale pink lip and blushing cheeks. MORE: 10 Royal Beauty and Fashion Traditions Meghan Markle Has Already Broken Her longtime makeup artist, Daniel Martin, Dior brand ambassador and Honest Beauty creative color consultant, has been working with the new royal since her Suits days and did her famously natural beauty look for the royal wedding, for which Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex thanked Martin repeatedly. Martin shares with StyleCaster that the makeup process on the morning of the wedding was pretty easy and one of his favorite looks of hers that he’s done.”[There were] no restrictions! I knew what she wanted from the start, so our time together that morning was seamless,” says Martin. Source: Instagram MORE: Past Outfits Meghan Markle Can’t Wear Anymore Now That She’s Royal Both the Duchess’s and Martin’s lives have grown tremendously and simultaneously in the past couple of years. And so has their professional relationship, which has quickly turned into a friendship. Though glamming a Duchess is cool, Martin’s favorite part of doing Markle’s makeup is the “laughing, catching up on mutual friends and talking about cooking.” “She has great recipes to share!” he says. After living in Los Angeles as an actress for most of her career, Markle was used to attending events and knew when and where to play with her beauty looks. “There’s a time and place to wear a lot of makeup, and she understood that, but in her real life, she keeps it simple,” Martin says. As the adopter of a fairly simple and sophisticated beauty archive, Markle has also become more and more comfortable with doing her own makeup, according to Martin. And though she mainly stays with her natural and neutral tones, Markle has become more experimental with her makeup—even daring to wear a dark lip, a bold color Martin previously told People that she would never do. “She’s gotten darker on the eyes and played around with a deeper lip too,” Martin says. As we continue to shine a spotlight on the royal mom-to-be, we’re sure the world will follow closely, wondering what products she uses (Martin isn’t allowed to reveal those coveted secrets) and how to re-create her hair in a loose bun or soft curls. Click through to see a beauty evolution of the duchess, from before Suits to her official international tours as a member of the royal family.

Florals for Fall? Actually Groundbreaking
In one particularly iconic The Devil Wears Prada scene, Meryl Streep—as renowned (and fictional) editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly—berates a staff member for suggesting a fashion story about spring florals. “Florals? For spring?” Priestly asks with incredulity, before delivering her sarcastic kicker: “Groundbreaking.” Spring, with all its April showers and May flowers, is (of course) an inherently floral season. It’s pervaded by vibrant pastels, fresh energy and literal plant blooms. Naturally, the fashion set has drawn inspiration from the season time and time again, leaving the rest of us with a diverse array of floral dresses we shelve until spring makes its annual appearance. But this season, our favorite designers have branched into legitimately groundbreaking territory: They’ve tried to make fall florals happen. MORE: Cutting-Edge Ways to Style a Muted Autumn Wardrobe Just as the phrase “spring florals” sounds like a given, “fall florals” sounds like an oxymoron. Fall is about muted colors, chunky knits and clunky footwear. And we’ve long accepted that dainty, colorful florals belong nowhere in that sartorial scene. But this year, they do. MSGM, Valentino, Zimmermann and a handful of others have redefined the floral print—rendering it in a darker, more haunted autumnal palette that would take any peasant dress from “dreamy afternoon at the park” to “blustery morning in New York City.” The floral pieces they’ve created feel distinctly cold-weather appropriate—worthy of pairing with heavy layers, heavier outerwear and even heavier shoes. It’s like floral prints have been given new life—or more grounded, perhaps. They feel edgy, sophisticated and surprisingly cozy all at once. MORE: 17 Faux Fur Jackets That Aren’t Too Over the Top to Wear Daily It’s possible this sounds crazy to you—more like a nightmare than a dream. But as someone who resents the practice of seasonally retiring clothing, I’m very on board with this sudden shift. And I’d wager you will be, too—once you actually see the fall florals I’m talking about. Ahead, 31 ways to shop (or at the very least, browse) fall’s most surprising trend. Dive in—groundbreaking fashion awaits.

Autumn’s Favorite Color Story Is 50 Shades of Turquoise
Fall is largely a season of neutrals. People snuggle into their finest olive, camel and burgundy knits, all but mimicking the tones of the piles of leaves that surround them. But autumn brings a handful of other, oft-overlooked colors to the fashion forefront, as well—rich, deep jewel tones like emerald green, sapphire blue, ruby red and this year’s favorite, turquoise. MORE: This Fall, Stores Are Full of Chunky Gold Earrings that Look Like They Belong in Another Decade The turquoise clothes pervading retailers this fall are less a singular shade and more an array of hues—a color story spanning myriad jewel tones within the turquoise family. There’s the light aqua of aquamarines, the rich blue-green of blue chrysocolla, the desaturated blue of blue smithsonite, the deep teal of blue topaz and of course, the opaque turquoise of traditional turquoise stones. When considered together, the collection of colors resembles the feathers of a peacock—rich, varied and undeniably stunning. And even more exciting: This diversity of shades will allow any turquoise clothing aficionado to keep their monochromatic ensembles more dynamic than plain. MORE: Autumn Animal Prints Are Brighter and More Saturated Than Ever Ahead, you’ll find 31 of the most stunning turquoise pieces on the market this fall. Whether you’re 50 shades of obsessed with teal clothing or you’re just interested in dipping your toes into the jewel-toned trend, you’re sure to find something pretty enough to warrant a quick purchase. (Like we said before, there’s so much variety—how could you possibly walk away empty-handed?)
