In the absence of a ticket, I watched Simone Bellotti’s debut SS26 show on YouTube. As one of 13 key designer debuts this season, it’s one of the first shows that will be discussed big. Coming from a very critically successful few seasons at BallyBellotti has engineered a lot of good feeling from the press.
I loved this debut. It felt stripped back to the spare linear silhouettes of OG Jil Sanderwith a pure colour palette that nodded to Raf-era. Within that I particularly liked the cold eroticism of Lucio Fontana-esque cutaway slashes in the skirts and cut-out back details, unexpected pops of silver, some great bags and the flat shoes.
It felt like a reset, palate-cleansing the proportions from Lucie and Luke’s XXL to something more elegantly wearable. Maybe next season there will be more Simone in the mix, but the response in the room was enthusiastic (I love a cheer at a fashion show). Early responses from buyers are promising – Dover Street Market called it “incredible”, while Carla Sozzani praised the craftsmanship and “beautiful work”. It will be interesting to hear what the rest have to say.

Sabrina Carpenter wore a wintery polka dot manicure for the Variety Hitmakers 2025 brunch.
She paired the nails with soft glam and a gown that offered her own take on the Ralph Lauren Christmas trend.
Are you of the mindset that polka dots are only for summer? That’s nonsense. If this year has proven anything, it’s that polka dots are always in—and might look even cuter in the cold months.
Don’t get me wrong: the pattern is still nonsense! But it’s nonsense in the “A Nonsense Christmas” by Sabrina Carpenter sense. Fun nonsense, as a bunch of tiny dots painted against the background color of your choosing should be.
Sabrina Carpenter’s Polka Dot Manicure

Over the weekend, Carpenter attended the Variety Hitmakers 2025 brunch event in Los Angeles where she was named the hitmaker of the year. Taking the stage to accept her award, she showed off the cutest black-and-white polka dot manicure.
The artist’s nails were filed into a short, rounded shape before they were painted with a milky white base coat. (Could it be her regular nail artist Zola Ganzorigt’s go-to Funny Bunny by OPI?) Then, they were stamped with a multitude of tiny black dots.
Getty Images
Like the rest of us, dots have been Carpenter’s go-to nail art pattern this year. The difference is that she’s one of the stars who kicked off the trend. Back in June, Ganzorigt gave her a white-on-white polka dot manicure for her “Manchild” music video. She’s been loving the look off and on since.

The Rest of the Look
For her breakfast-slash-lunch date on the town, the 26-year-old gave the Ralph Lauren Christmas trend her own spin in a pale strapless Ralph Lauren silk patchwork gown from the designer’s Spring ’03 collection. (Again, she defies the seasons.)
Getty Images
Her famous blonde curls were styled into messy beach waves instead of a bouncy vintage blowout, and her makeup artist Carolina Gonzalez went with a lighter glam look that included bright, liner-less eyes, a blurry lip, and plenty of blush.
The key word here was softand though there were aspects of her look that screamed spring and summer, she was undeniably in Brinaclaus mode. How do I know this?! She gave us a present! Glam inspo to last us all winter (and spring, summer, fall) long.
The role of skincare within this new framework of well-being is evolving: it is moving from reactive care to a truly proactive conception of life. Take a look at one of our key Beauty Foresight trends below, Life Resiliencewhich maps emerging opportunities for brands able to activate the functional and regenerative potential of skincare.
Emotional resilience – mood as the foundation of skin health
Longevity and resilience are no longer abstract ideals: they become tangible, measurable, trainable, and integrated into daily routines. Aging healthily and holistically is now a major driver of well-being: up to 60% of consumers consider it a “priority” or “very important” goal (McKinsey, 2025). A clear trajectory allowing skincare brands to reformulate narratives around resilience and health.
In this emerging space, the emotional well-being is quickly becoming a new territory of modern beauty. Consumers increasingly recognize that their mood, stress level and internal rhythms directly influence how they look, feel and age. THE emotionally connected routinescapable of stabilizing the nervous system, regulating sleep and building lasting resilience, find a powerful echo — especially since 40% of Gen Zers report feeling “almost always stressed” (McKinsey, 2025).
Emotional balance is no longer a luxury: it is an essential health strategy.
Emotional harmony
The stakes are real: chronic stress can reduce life expectancy by 2.8 yearsmaking emotional harmony an essential pillar of longevity (National Institute for Health and Welfare, 2020). Consumer interest is exploding: Instagram posts associated with stress-relieving have increased by +261% in one yearwhile TikTok sees a growing craze for stress-modulating ingredients: adaptogens (+505%), magnesium (+50%) and lavender (+18%). [1]
Beauty and wellness brands are responding with products and programs combining mood management and biological optimization. RoC Skincare funds research into the link between emotional balance and skin function, while the initiative Tatcha x Open’s World Mental Health Day (World Mental Health Day – October 2025) integrates conscious breathing into skincare rituals. Functional formats also accelerate adoption: gummies Serene State of Sacred Life and bath pebbles Serenity Soaks de Primally Pure (both launched in September 2025) anchor the care of the nervous system at the heart of everyday life.
Sleep balancing – sleep balance
Restorative sleep becomes an equally crucial dimension. Quality sleep can add up to five years to life expectancystimulating innovation around circadian support and neuro-restorative active ingredients.
Neurae – The Sleeping Mask (August 2025) exploits Gardenia Jasminoides for a melatonin-like signal. Eyeam – Magnesium Glymphatic Sleepy Butter (June 2025): promotes nocturnal cerebral detoxification via transdermal magnesium and chlorophyll. Reframe – Circadian Cream (May 2025): a “shape memory” cream imitating melatonin to reduce skin stress and optimize nighttime repair.
Together, these innovations mark a new era of emotionally intelligent beautywhere calm becomes a catalyst for longevity.

How to wash your hair
If you didn’t know there was actually a proper way to wash your hair, now you do. Think more like when you visit the salon, they gently massage your scalp while you fall asleep. Just kidding, sort of… the proper way to wash your hair while helping keep it healthy and promote growth is all in the technique. Gently massaging your scalp and only shampooing your scalp and roots is key, following up with cold water to rinse.

Heatless curls
To achieve healthier and longer hair, heat should be avoided as much as possible to promote stronger strands and less damage. Our favourite reveals on TikTok hair have been heatless hairstyles. Whether you try braiding your hair for a crimped beachy look or tying your strands around a rope, these looks are getting the views. One of our fav transformations is @stephaniealexxandra heatless curls using her heatless curler with hair oil. Contrary to most heatless curl hacks, leave your hair dry for this one and sleep with it overnight!
If you’re trying to add hair oil into your hair care routine, it’s important to keep in mind that it’s not a one size fits all kind of addition. Depending on your hair type specific oils can help or actually do the opposite. This TikTok rounds up the best hair oils for your hair type and gives options for you to try.

Regrowing lost hair is a common concern for many individuals experiencing hair loss. The possibility of regrowth largely depends on the cause of hair loss and the individual’s overall health.
Conditions such as stress, illness, or nutritional deficiencies can lead to temporary hair loss, which often reverses once the underlying issue is addressed.
However, genetic factors like hereditary hair loss can be more challenging to reverse, although some improvement may still be possible with appropriate care.
Is Hair Loss Permanent?
Not all lost hair is necessarily gone for good. Temporary hair loss due to factors like stress, pregnancy, or nutritional deficiencies can often be reversed.
However, hair loss caused by genetic factors or severe scarring may be more challenging to address.
Early intervention and appropriate treatments can significantly impact the potential for regrowth, so it’s important to seek professional advice as soon as you notice significant hair loss.
Is Hair Regrowth Possible?
Hair regrowth is possible, but it depends on several factors, including the cause of hair loss and how early intervention begins. Early intervention is crucial; the sooner you address hair thinning, the better your chances of regrowth.
Various hair loss treatments and home remedies work to can aid in this process, alongside a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, which is essential for hair growth. Gentle hair care practices can help thicken thinning hair, and avoiding excessive heat styling and chemical treatments can also prevent further damage and encourage healthier hair growth.
Consulting with a healthcare professional can help to determine the most effective approach for your specific situation.
Can Hair Regrow After Falling from the Root?
Hair loss from the roots can often regrow if the hair follicle is still intact and healthy.
Conditions like telogen effluvium, where hair falls out due to stress or illness, typically resolve on their own, and hair begins to regrow within a few months.
Ensuring a nutritious diet, reducing stress, and avoiding harsh hair treatments can support the regrowth process.
Can Hair Regrow Even in Bald Areas?
Regrowing hair in bald areas is challenging but not impossible. Natural treatments and home remedies can sometimes stimulate hair growth, though results vary.
For the best outcomes, a combination of gentle hair care practices, healthy lifestyle choices, and consistent treatment may be recommended.
However, expectations should be realistic, as complete regrowth in bald areas may not always be achievable.
How Can Females Regrow Thinning Hair?
Women experiencing thinning hair can benefit from various approaches aimed at stimulating growth and improving hair density.
Ensuring adequate intake of essential nutrients, such as iron and biotin, can support hair health.
Gentle hair care routines and avoiding excessive heat and chemical treatments are also important.
Additionally, natural remedies like scalp massages with essential oils can stimulate hair growth and improve hair health.
Does Aging Affect Hair Regrowth?
As we age, hair growth tends to slow down, and hair thinning becomes more common.
However, it is still possible to regrow hair after 40. Approaches such as maintaining a healthy diet, managing stress, and avoiding harsh hair treatments can support hair health and encourage regrowth.
Additionally, natural treatments and holistic practices can also play a role in promoting hair growth in older adults.
How Long Does Hair Loss Take to Grow Back?
The timeframe for hair regrowth varies depending on the cause of hair loss and the treatment used.
Generally, noticeable improvements can take several months. For example, temporary hair loss from stress or illness may begin to reverse within a few months once the underlying issue is resolved.
Patience and consistency with the chosen approach are crucial for achieving the best results.
Is It Possible to Stop Hair Loss and Promote Natural Regrowth?
Preventing hair loss and encouraging natural regrowth involves a holistic approach. Maintaining a balanced diet rich in vitamins, green tea, and minerals, managing stress, and using gentle hair care products are essential steps.
Natural remedies like scalp massages with essential oils can also stimulate hair growth. Avoiding excessive heat and chemical treatments can protect the hair and support its natural growth cycle.
Understanding the complexities of hair loss and the potential for regrowth can empower individuals to seek the right treatments and make informed decisions.
Consulting with healthcare professionals and adopting a comprehensive hair care regimen can significantly improve the chances of regaining lost hair and maintaining healthy hair growth.

Cardi B is feeling blue… in a good way! The Am I the Drama? rapper gave us some winter hair color inspiration in an indigo bob inspired by the ever-iconic pair of jeans.
Cardi, who recently welcomed a baby boy with boyfriend Stefon Diggs, celebrated Diggs’s birthday over the weekend with a variety of fabulous wigs and outfits, kicking things off with a short, chin-length bob in a platinum-and-deep blue color palette reminiscent of vintage denim. Her hair, styled by her go-to hairstylist Tokyo Stylez, was deeply parted to one side for a peekaboo effect and to show off the icy blonde roots, which transitioned from a steely baby blue to a dark denim at the ends.
From the front, the wig appeared to be a straightforward ombré style, but when viewed from other angles, the blue color was more prominent than your typical blonde-to-blue pattern—more concentrated near her face, with a softer diffusion throughout. Her hair was curled under to cup her jawline and frame her glam by Erika La’ Pearl, which included a winged eye, long lashes, and peachy blush. And if you’re wondering, yes, Cardi did pair the denim blue bob with a matching denim gown for a monochromatic moment.
If you’re not quite ready to take the plunge and go blue, you could easily replicate the vibe with your makeup; pros told us that ’80s-inspired shadow shades, including all blue hues, will be big in 2026.
Would you like to stop fighting with frizzy and unruly hair every day? You may have found a new friend in keratin treatments.
As an added bonus, you can also improve your hair¿s look and health with keratin treatments, but it’s essential to match the treatments properly with your hair needs and type.
If you are not sure which type of keratin treatment is right for you, you’re in the right place. Read on to learn more about the different types of keratin treatments.
What is a Keratin Treatment?
The protein known as keratin is found naturally in the skin, nails and hair. However, due to sun radiation and pollution, over time, our hair is unable to maintain its original keratin level leading it to moisture loss, fraying, drying and loss of gloss.
Hair salons that offer keratin treatments in Sydney include heat sealing and applying keratin solution to the hair. By smoothing the hair cuticle, minimizing frizz, and enhancing gloss, this procedure gives your hair a healthier-looking and feeling texture.
5 Types of Keratin Treatments
Here are five types of keratin treatments you should consider:
1. Brazilian Keratin Treatment
Receiving a Brazilian keratin treatment is among the greatest methods available for improving the appearance of damaged hair. Over time, this process has become more and more popular since it helps reduce frizz and curls, which makes hair easier to manage and more manageable.
A keratin solution, often containing formaldehyde or a formaldehyde-free substitute, is used during this procedure. To ensure that the treatment is well absorbed, your hair will next be blown dry and flat ironed.
2. Japanese Keratin Treatment
In case you’re seeking for a straightening remedy that lasts longer, the Japanese keratin treatment may be the best option. It employs a thermal reconditioning solution in addition to keratin to straighten and smooth your hair, combining the advantages of keratin with the traditional Japanese hair straightening procedure.
3. Keratin Expres Treatment
Do you desire the advantages of a keratin treatment but are pressed for time? A speedier and less expensive option is the Keratin Express Treatment.
Keratin express treatment requires less time to apply and process since it employs a lighter keratin mix. You can still experience smoother, glossier hair for up to 4–6 weeks after the procedure, even if the benefits don’t stay as long as with regular keratin treatments.
4. Japzilian Keratin Treatment
Unable to pick between keratin treatments from Brazil and Japan? It is not necessary for you to. The greatest aspects of both worlds are combined in the Japanese keratin treatment.
The Japanese thermal reconditioning method is used first in the hybrid treatment to straighten the hair, and then Brazilian keratin is used to enhance luster and smoothness.
The result? A six-month treatment that leaves hair lustrous, frizz-free, and very smooth.
5. Soft Keratin Treatment
The Soft Keratin Treatment is a mild option for people with fine or gently wavy hair who don’t want to lose their natural texture.
It adds shine and smoothness while enhancing the natural texture of your hair thanks to a moderate keratin recipe that contains less harsh chemicals. It is ideal for anyone seeking a softer, more natural-looking finish and lasts for up to two or three months.
Conclusion
There are many solutions available for keratin treatments which suit different types of hair and needs. Whether your goals are straight and sleek or just less frizz and more shine – there is a keratin treatment for everyone.
Don’t forget to get advice from a qualified professional to find the ideal treatment for your particular hair type and desired outcoumes.

Giveaway Day #1 – All My Favorite OSEA products (Undaria Algae Body Oil, Dream Night Cream, Undaria Cleansing Body Polish, Anti-Aging Body Balm & Oceans Eyes value $374)
**Please note all giveaways are open to U.S. only
OSEA Malibu has one of the neatest origin stories in clean beauty. The founder, Jenefer, was inspired by her grandmother, who believed the ocean helped heal her after a serious leg injury. After dreaming about the sea, she went for a swim—and within weeks, she recovered. That experience stuck with Jenefer and eventually shaped the heart of OSEA.
When creating the brand, she leaned into those roots and chose nutrient-packed seaweed as the base of the skincare line. Seaweed is naturally rich in minerals that help nourish, soothe, and restore the skin—exactly what OSEA is known for today.
OSEA has also been leading the clean beauty charge for decades. Back in 2002, they were the first to sign the “Compact for Safe Cosmetics,” pledging to keep harmful chemicals out of beauty products. More than 1,000 companies have since followed their lead.
Here is a closer look at some of the top OSEA Malibu products:
Seabiotic Water Cream
This cream instantly becomes a staple in everyone’s routine the moment they try it! I remember my first time using it and being so impressed. It delivers amazing hydration without feeling heavy or greasy—just that perfect, instantly absorbed moisture. And the real magic? Your skin still feels hydrated the next morning.
Even better, the price is unbeatable. While most creams creep up toward $100, this one comes in at just $54. A total win. Get it here!
Ocean Cleanser
This cleanser is a total fave! First, the frosted glass bottle is so chic—love it on my counter. The formula itself is incredibly soothing yet super effective. It removes all my makeup and daily grime, even the stubborn eye makeup, without leaving my skin feeling stripped or dry.
Instead, it leaves my skin hydrated and nourished with vitamins and minerals. And the scent? It seriously smells like candy. The lime stands out the most, with hints of juniper and cypress. It’s such a great all-around cleanser—I truly can’t get enough! Get your Ocean Cleanser here!
Sea Minerals Mist
This mist is SO good! I even had my husband try it because it felt so soothing and hydrating. Most toners just feel like a quick spritz of water—refreshing for a second and then gone. But the Sea Minerals Mist is totally different. It actually feels like a lightweight, hydrating layer on the skin that lasts even after it dries.
It’s loaded with aloe and seaweed to deeply nourish and calm the skin. Use it after cleansing to prep your skin before serums and oils, or spritz it after a day in the sun to cool and refresh. If you’ve been looking for a toner that truly does something, this is it. Get it here!
Hyaluronic Sea Serum
If you have dry skin or fine lines, this serum is for you. It instantly adds moisture to thirsty skin and helps smooth everything out. Hyaluronic acid is the star here—it can attract up to 1,000 times its weight in water, which is why it does such an amazing job boosting elasticity and leaving skin soft and supple.
But this formula goes beyond hyaluronic acid. It also includes three types of organic seaweed packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. In other words, it’s a total powerhouse.
I love using it after the Sea Vitamin Boost and pressing it into my skin before oils. It makes my makeup apply more smoothly and gives my complexion a fresh, polished look. Can’t recommend it enough! Get your Hyaluronic Sea Serum here!
Atmosphere Protection Cream
This is the perfect everyday face lotion. It feels super hydrating without any greasiness—just the ideal lightweight texture that layers beautifully under makeup. So many daily moisturizers can feel heavy, but this one is light, airy, and comfortable on the skin.
The formula is packed with seaweed, shea butter, and omega-rich oils to nourish and balance. It’s one of those products I recommend constantly, and everyone ends up loving it! Get it here.
Undaria Algae Body Oil
This body oil is such a decadent treat—I can’t stop using it! It’s packed with skin-loving nutrients and infused with seaweed that’s soaked in Undaria oil for six months. The result is an antioxidant-rich oil full of minerals that leaves your skin incredibly soft and deeply nourished.
And the scent? Amazing. It’s sweet and refreshing thanks to passion fruit and grapefruit oils. I love applying it right after a shower while my skin is still slightly damp for maximum hydration. Truly can’t recommend it enough! Get it here!
Salt of the Earth Body Scrub
Talk about a scrub! This body polish does not mess around. It’s packed with Dead Sea and Himalayan pink salts, Bolivian rose, and of course, organic seaweed. Plus, it includes acai, shea butter, and passionfruit to leave your skin feeling unbelievably soft—like butter.
I apply it to wet skin and use circular motions, and every time my skin feels so refreshed and clean. We often focus on exfoliating our face, but our body deserves that same love too! Grab your Salt of The Earth Body Scrub here!
Seaglow Resurfacing Scrub
This scrub does it all! My skin is not only brighter but so much smoother after using it. The formula combines flower acids with oceanic physical exfoliants to boost cell turnover and help minimize the look of pores. And the best part? It also works as a cleanser, washing away dirt and grime from the day. Get it here!

When the missus handed me a 20ml bottle of News the Merine Eu the Parfuum by Eight & Bob my initial reaction was “who the f**k are Eight & Bob” – I’d never of the fragrance or the brand and given that it’s taken about six months for me to write down my thoughts I gave this one not a second thought until I pulled out all of the aftershaves I hadn’t yet written about (there are over fifteen – when do I start classifying this as an addiction?!?).
Knowing nothing about the brand, the fragrance, the notes, nothing I went to take a peek and do a little research into who Eight & Bob are and where you can pick up a bottle. It turns out that 1, this stuff isn’t cheap – £130 for a 100ml bottle of it from John Lewis here and 2, it’s actually a unisex fragrance for both men and women.
Normally I find reading about the history of a brand quite tedious, but the story behind Eight & Bob is really quite interesting – I won’t ruin it here, but it involves a Parisian aristocrat and a young John F Kennedy in 1937. You can check out the history here.
The notes to Nuit de Megeve are:
Head: Grapefruit, petit grains and clove buds
Heart: Tonka beans, orris and black coffee
Dry-down: Vetiver, tobacco and musks
After a spray or two the first thing that struck me was that it was far, far too feminine for me – it was an instant “nope” from me and as the fragrance triggered my memory this reminded me of my Auntie Sue (in a good way – she has great fragrance tastes) but I didn’t want to be smelling like a 60+ female. Initially thoughts were not positive, but it was obvious from the fragrance that the sweetness of the grapefruit on the nose was a little too sharp for my liking. It is a rather heavy fragrance despite the citrus head notes but thankfully these don’t last and the fragrance evolves quickly and alters so much that I had to fundamentally change my assessment after fifteen minutes.
The sharpness of the citrus dries away quickly and it becomes a much smoother level of sweetness as the vanilla like note from the tonka bean blend with the coffee to make this much warmer, and in turn, much more masculine.
Within thirty minutes you are left with the final fragrance and this is where my love for Nuit de Megeve really explodes. The vetiver and tobacco provide excellent balance to the sweetness and tones it down to more of an earthy warmth. Lovely!
Even though it gets more masculine it sits perfectly as a unisex fragrance – not too light and not overly heavy on the musks and earthy notes.
Once dried down this is in a word – lush.
What really amazed me about this fragrance was it’s longevity on my skin – it’s quite possible the most hardwearing and long lasting of any aftershave I’ve ever tried before. A couple of sprays in the morning and you can still detect it on pulse points some 24 hours later – that’s astounding.
When testing this out I sprayed my wrists and then a couple of hours later had a shower – even after a good scrub in the shower I could still pick up hints of the tonka bean and vetiver. Wow!
Expensive, yes, but worth every penny. Sadly, this introduction to Eight & Bob is going to seriously destroy my bank account over the coming years. Since I started writing this post I’ve had the chance to wrap my sniffing tackle around a few other offerings from the brand and like this they just ooze luxurious quality.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
