Putting together a sun holiday packing list might sound tiresome, but for a stress-free vacay, you’ve got to do it. A tried-and-tested formula of interchangeable pieces that actually work (rather than remaining in a creased pile at the bottom of your case) and that you can simply pull together every time you go away will put the pleasure into packing.

Leave it to Bella Hadid to find a way to make a rainy-day outfit look chic. The model was photographed out and about in Paris yesterday, and though it wasn’t actually rainy at the time she was spotted, she wore what we’re certain will be your new go-to ensemble when you are, in fact, caught in a downpour.
The base of her look? A pair of loose-fitting jeans, a white Chanel tank top (with the brand’s logo emblazoned on the front), and a pair of crisp white sneakers. But that’s not all. The model completed her rainy-day outfit by adding in two water-resistant pieces—a transparent trench coat and a matching bucket hat by Chrome Hearts.
So, the next time you’re faced with a rainy day and just don’t know how to deal with it, channel Bella Hadid and throw on a rain or tench coat (and a matching bucket hat, if you dare) for a look that’s equal parts cool and practical. Ready to see it for yourself? Read on to see Bella Hadid’s rainy-day outfit and then shop some of our favorite raincoats on the market right now.

The latest attempt from struggling theater subscription service MoviePass to retain its dwindling user base comes in the form of yet another change to its monthly plan. This time, however, the company is automatically enrolling lapsed former subscribers into its service, saying its choosing those users to be part of a “select test group” to try a version of MoviePass similar to its original one-movie-per-day plan.
In an email sent to select MoviePass customers who decided not to opt into the company’s revised three-movie monthly plan, first unveiled last month, the company says it’s decided to enroll those people into a new subscription because “we really hope you begin enjoying your MoviePass subscription.” If they don’t want to be…
We may have just found the best BFF matching moment of the week—and it stars none other than model duo Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner.
The two were spotted in Paris earlier this week, both wearing dresses rendered in one of spring 2019’s It colors: Fiesta, an orangey red that is both eye-catching and mood-boosting at the same time. And once you see Jenner and Hadid sporting the powerful, attention-grabbing shade, we’re certain you’ll be convinced to scoop up a few Fiesta-hued pieces as well.
Hadid sported a mid-length, long-sleeve dress by Emilio Pucci that featured a Peter Pan collar and a button-down front. She accessorized her outfit with a Dorateymur handbag and a pair of Emilio Pucci sandals. Jenner, on the other hand, opted for a one-shoulder, crystal-beaded dress by Alexandre Vauthier, grounding her nighttime look with Yeezy PVC sandals.
Now, read on to see the best matching moment of the week, and then shop a few of our favorite orange-hued pieces for fall.

Microtrends are often an offshoot of defining looks from the runways. After a few months of percolating and being adopted early by fashion enthusiasts, the eagle-eyed can start to see the key (albeit it less-obvious) buys emerging.
What’s more is that they are often easier to weave into our daily looks without resulting in side-eye from passersby in the street. Take animal print, for example. It’s undoubtedly one of fall’s frontrunners (showcased at Dolce & Gabbana, Givenchy and Halpern in the most delightfully extravagant ways), but you may find that in reality, wearing it head to toe isn’t the simplest option. Instead, we’ll likely turn to hero pieces like a coat, skirt, or a sweater.
Another example of a microtrend that came to life this past summer via street style and social media was Réalisation’s leopard-print skirt. Why did it become so popular? Because it’s a game-changing item we can style with T-shirts and our go-to shoes.
In addition to reflecting the top trends, you’ll also find that microtrends are often more affordable (win) and more likely to garner a nod from those in-the-know (double win). Keep scrolling to discover and shop the microtrends dominating fall/winter 2018.

“You don’t enter a fashion house to imitate the work of your predecessor,” Hedi Slimane told Business of Fashion for an article published earlier this week. The notably press-shy designer gave a rare interview that would, as we found out today, set the tone for what we could expect when his first collection for Celine made its runway debut. So, for Paris Fashion Week, Slimane sent his guests an invitation: a book filled with removable posters welcoming them to a venue built by the Hôtel des Invalides, distributed Celine-branded (sans accent) Champagne, and fully delivered on his word. Here’s what else to know from today’s show.
The runway opened with a party dress. Mini-length, polka-dot, strapless, with a bow tie at the bust that extended into wing-like oversize sleeves. Atop the model’s head, as well as most models in the runway show, a fascinator with a mesh veil. On her feet: moto boots. This is the new Celine, we thought.
Anyone’s who’s followed Slimane’s career, particularly during his tenure at Saint Laurent from 2012 to 2016, might not be incredibly surprised by the other notable themes in the collection. There was an almost exclusively black color palette, the favored hemline was short, and the presence of glam rock was palpable in sequins, feathers, leather, and silhouettes reminisce of the ’80s (think paper-bag waists, ruffled skirts, and broad shoulders). There were also variations on Le Smoking seen throughout.
While any of these elements would have provided a huge shift for the Phoebe Philo–era Celine identity, another defining moment of Slimane’s debut was the introduction of menswear. The silhouettes—be it suiting or trench coats—were slim-fit and classic. The ties? Even slimmer.
While this season, fellow new-to-a-brand designer Riccardo Tisci decided to opt out of a celebrity-heavy runway crowd, Slimane turned to some of his most influential friends for this new chapter. Most will remember Lady Gaga giving a first look at the new Celine It handbag nearly a month ago, and in a similar style, K-pop star CL shared a peek at another design—a quilted, chain-strapped Celine handbag—moments before sitting front row at the show. Among today’s A-list crowd was another famous supporter: Karl Lagerfeld himself.
For impassioned Philo fans who live for the designer’s brand of minimal, effortless, empowering fashion that Celine had previously been known for, this new era might take some getting used to. “At Celine, the weight of the past is not as strong as at Dior or Saint Laurent,” Slimane also stated to BoF, foreshadowing today’s show. “We can break free of it more easily.”
Simply put, S/S 19 Celine is steeped in Slimane’s identity as a designer. It’s rock ‘n’ roll, it’s structured, it’s moody—it’s everything Slimane had promised. But what it’s not? Philo. And it’s ultimately up to consumers to decide if change is good.
I don’t know about you, but for me, this week was bad. It was really bad! Truly, there’s nothing quite like working on the internet, covering internet news, all while the internet insists on reminding you, every single minute of your day, just how enthusiastic the people running your country are about putting sexual abusers in power. Boy, is it bad!
Ironically, this miserable fact is also how the best memes are born. The highest-quality memers online today — much like offline traditional comedians — do two things exceptionally well:
They possess a deep well of pop cultural awareness, and
They either know how to completely distract you from the absurd Hellmouth that public life has become, or they know exactly how to make the…
Hennessey Performance, the world renowned, Texas-based tuner outfit, never seems to be satisfied. When they’re not crafting supercars that are able to push past 300 mph, they’re pursuing other mad scientist endeavors like the brand new Goliath 6×6 pickup truck.
Coming into this world as a Chevy Silverado Trail Boss, the crack team at Hennessey has redesigned and jacked up the Detroit-born pickup into an entirely different animal. Or maybe beast would be more appropriate. Adding two extra feet of flat bed and a second rear axle, the Goliath perches on 37” tires and an 8” lift kit definitely gives this modified pickup some serious monster truck status.
Under the hood Hennessey’s speed freaks have a supercharged 6.2L V8 engine, capable of churning out 675 lbs of torque and 705 horsepower. Stomping the gas will get the enormous Goliath from 0 to 60 in around 4.5 seconds, truly a feat for a truck this size.
Having done a similar limited edition with their double-axle VelociRaptor, built on a Ford Raptor, it’s no surprise that only 24 of the Goliaths will be produced. Starting at a stomach-plunging $375k, options to bump the horsepower to over 800, upgrade the brakes or gussy up the interior are available and would likely take the price tag well past the $400k mark.
Hennessey is showing off the Goliath with either two-tone black or cherry red paintjobs but it seems unlikely that the entirety of this limited run will stay that way.
After all, who would want something boring and plain like a Hennessey Goliath in black when something like this is a possibility?
