Sydney Sweeney looked stunning in the fashion world’s latest trend: the navy and black color combo. The 27-year-old actress was spotted with co-star Brandon Sklenar, 34, on their way to watch Cult of Love on Broadway.
The Anyone But You star wore a tailored navy minidress under a black leather trench coat. The dress boasted a plunging neckline with delicate black lace embroidery, while the coat was lined with soft fur at the neck and sleeves. She completed the chic look with sheer black tights, pointed-toe heels, and a small black satin handbag.
The star styled her long, blonde hair into beachy waves, while her makeup remained natural and glowing, with a touch of blush, bronzed cheeks, and a rosy lip. Her The Housemaid co-star, Brandon Sklenar, kept it casual in a grey Carhartt denim jacket with brown detailing, paired with black jeans. He layered the stylish jacket over a simple white t-shirt.
When Suki Waterhouse isn’t performing on stage in fluffy coats and custom boho Chloé dresses, she’s often seen in more understated outfits with a similar chic vibe
While out in New York on Monday, the singer, songwriter, and actress showcased a bold fashion choice that perfectly highlighted her style. Fans of 2000s fashion are absolutely obsessed!
For her chic city outing, Suki styled sheer black tights with denim mini shorts, paired them with a cozy camel brown knit jumper, and topped it all off with an ultra-fluffy coat.
Channeling the eclectic 70s vibe of her on-screen character Karen Sirko from Amazon Prime’s hit series Daisy Jones & The Six, Suki embraced bold accessories. She completed her look with patent black cowboy boots, a black shoulder bag, vintage-inspired slim sunglasses, and classic wired Apple headphones.
We’re obsessed with the mismatched combo! Tights under shorts made a major comeback in 2024, paired with micro-minis, knickers, and hot pants, as seen on stars like Sydney Sweeney, Kendall Jenner, and Emma Corrin. As for jorts, they hadn’t returned—until now!
If you were a dedicated Tumblr user in the mid-2000s, Suki’s look might feel nostalgic. This style was a favorite of stars like Emma Roberts, Miley Cyrus, and Rachel McAdams, as well as popular bloggers like Zoe Sugg and Tanya Burr.
As a fashion writer, it’s essential to stay updated on celebrity trends. After all, keeping up with these styles is a key part of the job!
Every day, I carefully review the latest celebrity outfits to find the most newsworthy styles. By spending so much time analyzing their looks, I’ve created a personal shortlist of stars who always get it right. One recent addition to this list is actor Pamela Anderson. Her refined and polished silhouettes, paired with subtle nods to current trends, never fail to grab my attention.
This week, during the press tour for her latest film, The Last Showgirl, she showcased a series of stunning outfits that perfectly embodied her effortless take on elevated dressing. While her chic monochromatic looks stood out, it was a subtle yet striking accessory trend in two of her outfits that truly caught my eye: 10-denier sheer tights.
This hosiery trend, which rose to fame in the 1980s, was a natural fit for the decade’s polished, professional aesthetic. Paired with power suits, pencil skirts, and structured dresses, 10-denier tights were the final touch that made every outfit feel effortlessly refined. However, after its peak in the ’80s, the trend began to decline in the late ’90s and early 2000s as fashion shifted. While the 2010s embraced patterned and nude hosiery, black semi-sheer tights mostly faded into the background.
While 10-denier tights have never truly gone “out,” their resurgence stands out after a season filled with thicker, colorful, and patterned styles. Their delicate semi-sheer finish adds a touch of understated sophistication to any outfit. However, their low denier makes them more prone to snags, so investing in a high-quality pair is crucial to avoid mishaps and keep them in top condition. By pairing hers with all-black ensembles, Anderson’s minimalist styling allowed this quietly elegant accessory to shine even more.
As Who What Wear’s fashion editor, I spend a lot of time searching through runway trends to pull together edits of the looks you really need to see, but often it becomes clear that the go-to place for everyday inspo is really street style. Aside from a handful of buzzy new pieces, the street style set often make heroes out of pieces we already own but with a fresh new spin, and their new season outfits are no exception. Wondering what all of 2025’s biggest trends have in common? We spotted them on the streets of Europe in outfits way ahead of the curve.
Before booking your flight to join the fun, stylish Europeans are filling our feeds with endless outfit inspiration. They remind us how exciting it is to dress up again! Curious about how French women make skirts look effortlessly chic? Amazed by how Scandinavians play with bold proportions? You’re in the right place. After extensive research, I’ve uncovered the top fashion trends Europeans are already embracing. These trends are set to dominate everywhere in the coming year!

1. The Trend: Sized Up and Structured Bags The Location: Spain
Style Notes:This year, brands like The Row and Ferragamo are doubling down on oversized bags, proving that bigger is better. In Spain, it’s common to see women swapping classic crossbody bags for stylish, roomy totes.

3. The Trend: Masculine Suiting The Location: Denmark
Style Notes:Scandinavian brands like Filippa K, House of Dagmar, and Toteme are known for their effortlessly polished, minimalist style. What’s more timeless than a tailored suit, complete with a chic tie for added elegance? While Jeanette’s look channels Copenhagen Fashion Week more than Croydon High Street, it’s easy to adapt. For a wearable, everyday outfit, opt for wide-leg trousers, boxy blazers, and oversized shirts. Simple, stylish, and undeniably Scandi!
4. The Trend: Sherpa Boots The Location: France
Style Notes: Here’s a trend you might not have predicted—unless you’re in Paris: the sherpa boot. Cute, cozy, and incredibly comfy, it’s the perfect mix of fashion and function.

Style Notes:Business suits are making a stylish comeback! Once you’ve rocked a full suit on the streets of Copenhagen or Oslo, mix and match the pieces for fresh looks.

For a cool-girl twist on corporate chic, opt for pointed-toe shoes or boots and balance it out with a casual touch on top. Effortlessly polished, wherever you go!
6: The Trend: Brown Cont. The Location: Bulgaria
Style Notes:There’s nothing like watching a trend evolve into a full-fledged classic, and chocolate brown is doing just that. What started as a microtrend in 2024 has now become a major style staple. Social media’s best-dressed are now embracing head-to-toe brown outfits for a luxe look that checks all the boxes. For extra style points, mix textures like suede, leather, cashmere, and silk to elevate the look even further.
7: The Trend: Statement Tights The Location: London
Style Notes:If there’s one thing London girls can agree on right now, it’s that a fun pair of tights can completely transform an outfit. Luckily, Swedish Stockings, Falke, and Calzedonia have dropped some fantastic styles to make it easier than ever. Throughout the party season, expect classic fishnets and lace, along with pops of red and merlot. But for 2025, our big predictions are white, ecru, pastels, and—of course—a bit more dark brown.
Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber follow the rule that best friends don’t copy—they match! On Sunday night, the stylish duo stepped out in coordinated chic outfits for a dinner at Giorgio Balfi in Santa Monica.
Kendall Jenner stunned in a waist-cinching blazer
The 29-year-old supermodel radiated elegance in a taupe blazer top paired with a black mini skirt. To complete her look, Kendall added sheer black tights, matching pointed-toe kitten heels, and a sleek clutch bag.
The 818 Tequila founder styled her glossy brunette locks into soft waves, complementing her signature radiant makeup. She chose a bronzed eye, a touch of rosy blush, and a nude lip for a flawless finish. Keeping it simple yet elegant, Kendall wore dainty hoop earrings while leaving her neck and fingers bare.
Hailey oozed ’90s chic in all black
Meanwhile, Hailey perfectly matched her best friend’s glamorous vibe with an all-black ensemble. The beauty mogul wore a sleek black top, a matching mini skirt, and sheer black tights, topped with a long black leather trench coat. Adding to her chic look, Justin Bieber’s wife styled black pointed-toe court heels and her signature ’90s-inspired black sunglasses.
Hailey completed her look with a black purse and styled her hair into a sleek ballerina bun, revealing a pair of golden drop earrings. The Rhode founder added a touch of sparkle by showcasing her stunning diamond-encrusted wedding ring.
The new mom enjoyed a night out with Kendall, taking a break from her baby boy, Jack Blues Bieber. The duo was joined by their friend, Devon Lee Carlson. Hailey and Justin, married for six years, renewed their vows in Hawaii on May 9. Just months later, they welcomed their first child, son Jack, on August 22.
Kendall donned The Row during her low-key outing
Seeing Kendall and Hailey in coordinated outfits is nothing new. Recently in LA, the duo even sported matching chunky lug-sole loafers from brands like The Row and Alaïa. Both styled their trendy shoes with wide-leg pants and white socks. Kendall paired her look with a red cashmere polo from The Row, while Hailey opted for a cropped leather jacket.

Kendall Jenner later joined guests at the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood to celebrate the 82nd Golden Globes Awards.
Hailey showed her support for YSL creative director Anthony Vaccarello by liking his Instagram post about producing Emilia Pérez, which won four awards at the Globes.

Despite giving birth just four months ago, Hailey looked stunning on New Year’s Eve as she rang in 2025 with a sizzling bikini photo. The 28-year-old flaunted her toned physique while posing on her staircase in a pink and white frilly bikini, layered under a cozy leopard print coat.
Pictures often say more than words. While it may sound cliché, it’s true. Over the years, countless articles have analyzed Chloë Sevigny’s effortlessly trend-setting style. For fans of downtown New York fashion, one iconic moment stands out: a young Sevigny at the 1996 premiere of Trees Lounge at Sony Village 7 Theatre, rocking animal-print tights.
That evening, the young actor dazzled in a sparkly black one-shoulder dress paired with a small floral boutonniere and open-toed heels. The highlight of her outfit? Her bold tiger-patterned tights. Known for clashing patterns and colors with ease, Sevigny always makes it look effortlessly cool. With natural makeup and a boyish bob, she proved once again that less truly is more.
It’s tough to call this ’90s minimalism, given the black shimmery dress paired with tiger-striped tights. However, it’s a perfect example of how great style comes from a strong personal sense of fashion. In the 1990s, Sevigny was known as a thrifting queen, setting trends by transforming discount shop finds into must-have pieces. This look captures that vibe—unpolished yet authentic, showcasing her unique ability to march to the beat of her own drum.
Colorful and leopard-print tights are back in style, dominating both street fashion and the runway. Brands like Gucci and Miu Miu have led the charge, with Sevigny herself serving as both a fan and a campaign face for Miu Miu. There’s no better time to embrace the bold tiger-stripe trend.
From stylish haute couture to comfy wool winter tights, the right pair will be your best friend this season. Stay warm and fashionable every day!
The easiest and most stylish way to tackle winter outfits? Tights. When temperatures fall, tights are a smarter choice than facing the cold with bare legs. Plus, with the influence of celebrities and designers, tights have moved beyond practicality to become bold fashion statements.
Take Jenna Ortega, for example. She turned heads in crimson Calzedonia tights paired with bold red lacquered platforms during the Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice press tour. Her look proves that tights can be both edgy and chic.
Lady Gaga took it to the next level with lacy tights and a dramatic ruff collar on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Meanwhile, Kaia Gerber brought fun to her LBD with polka-dot tights, instantly elevating her outfit.
For autumn/winter 2024, designers like Bora Aksu and Vivetta added a playful, romantic vibe to tights with lace, ribbons, and bows. At the same time, Isabel Marant, Blumarine, and Zimmermann went bold with luxe leopard prints, transforming tights into statement pieces. These high-fashion designs are made to stand out – loud and proud.
How do you style tights for everyday wear? Not everyone is on a press tour or walking the runway. For an easy yet eye-catching look, try pairing shiny or colorful tights with something sparkly or sequined, like Abigale. This combo guarantees you’ll turn heads!
Tennis pro and rising pickleball influencer Genie Bouchard stays busy both on and off the court. No matter where she is, Genie grabs the camera’s attention – and this holiday season was no exception.
Genie Bouchard has wowed fans with stunning NYC selfies, showing off a miniskirt and boots. She’s also rocked casual looks, pairing relaxed jeans with a crop top to highlight her toned abs this fall. Earlier in the summer, she hit the beaches in St. Tropez.
Now, Genie is showing off her holiday glam with a festive Christmas look. She shared a series of photos, captioning them “[Christmas] things.”
For the holiday, Genie opted for a more modest look. She wore a Christmas miniskirt, knee-high boots, and sheer black tights, posing in front of her Christmas tree.
Catsuits are back, and this trend is sparking some controversy – which often happens with bold fashion choices. Lace catsuits, in particular, are everywhere this winter. The boudoir trend also made waves on the S/S 25 runways. Celebrities are embracing the look too. Dua Lipa wore a long-sleeve black lace catsuit to an end-of-year dinner, layering it with a black dress and bold black-and-red ankle-tie heels. She even paired it with a gold dome-band diamond ring. If you’re bored of tights and want something stylish and attention-grabbing, the catsuit trend is the perfect update for your winter wardrobe.
Ah, January. With over fourteen weeks until the next Bank Holiday, it’s hard to find motivation. The chilly weather doesn’t help either, and even festive sequins can’t offer much comfort. But here’s a simple yet effective styling hack to lift your spirits: matching tights to your shoes.
This idea first came to me after spotting Sharon Horgan, the Bad Sisters actress, in a photo a couple of months ago. She wore a velvet, tuxedo-collar dress by Temperley, but what truly caught my eye was her styling below the knee. Rather than the typical bare legs and stilettos, she rocked sheer, lipstick-red tights paired with matching satin pumps. It was striking, a little sexy, and completely unforgettable.
This week, as I mourned the dullness of my wardrobe—grey and uninspiring after December’s festive outfits had been packed away—I remembered Horgan’s red tights. I realized it was the perfect way to elevate boring January looks. So, I reached out to the stylist behind Horgan’s chic hosiery and heels, Rachel Davis, to find out how to master the art of matching tights and shoes.
“My inspiration for the look came from Valentino’s Spring/Summer 2025 show,” Davis explains. “Alessandro Michele styled a monochrome dress with red tights, and I was sold.” Davis put her own twist on the outfit for Horgan, choosing Louboutin heels (“because there’s no sexier shoe in the world”) and tights from Swedish Stockings. For more style inspiration, keep reading…

Go sheer
Coordinating tights and shoes isn’t entirely new—Princess Diana was rocking the look back in 1985. She took it up a notch by matching her tights, court shoes, and skirt suit, all in bold poppy red.
Fashion trailblazer Diana, Princess of Wales, was sporting the matchy-matchy tights look as early as 1985Horgan’s sheer red tights give the look a more modern edge
Horgan’s take feels fresh and undeniably sultrier. Davis achieved this by experimenting with opacity. “I wanted the tights to be slightly sheer, not thick or heavy, because that feels sexier,” she explains. A calf-length dress or skirt can sometimes feel frumpy, Davis admits, but a bold tomato-red tight adds the perfect touch of allure.
“It’s sexy without showing skin,” she says. “Once you hit fifty, it’s like, ‘I still want to look hot and feel attractive, but I don’t want to reveal too much.’”
An easy update
This styling hack has another perk – it refreshes your wardrobe without the need to buy anything new. It’s an easy way to embrace trends affordably and sustainably. For a speaking event, Davis dressed Horgan in a black shirt dress by Serena Bute. The look was elegant but simple, until baby-pink tights and matching Louboutin stilettos transformed it into something unforgettable.
“I bet everyone has something like that dress in their wardrobe – a reliable staple,” says Davis. “Adding colored shoes and tights makes it feel more curated and intentional. It’s a simple way to breathe new life into an old dress.”
Mix and match
When it comes to choosing a shade, Davis suggests going with the current Pantone color—last year, it was “peach fuzz” (as seen in Horgan’s ballet-pink look), and this year it’s “mocha mousse”—or any trending hue like red. “Or just pick a color you love,” she says, naming lilac, teal, and red as her current favorites. “Darker colors and neutrals are often more flattering,” she adds, recommending dark green, berry, or camel for those who shy away from brights and pastels.
Don’t shy away from mixing textures and tones. A patent-leather shoe can help mask any color mismatches, while a neutral-colored outfit gives you some creative freedom below the knee. Davis shares a look she’s planning for Horgan this January: a buttermilk dress by Edeline Lee, paired with baby-blue tights and teal Louboutin heels. “It makes your legs look hyper-real, like something from a Guy Bourdin photo,” she says.
Find your prints charming
Nor should you shy away from patterns, especially for special occasions. Katie Mackay-Sinclair, Partner at Mother London, tells me she wore head-to-toe leopard print recently.
“It all started with the Roberto Cavalli blazer,” she explains. “I couldn’t resist adding more, so I paired it with a Norma Kamali bodysuit, which worked as tights thanks to the built-in feet.”
The final touch? A pair of leopard-patterned pumps. “The more leopard I added, the more the look came together. For me, when it comes to prints, there’s no such thing as too much!”
For a more subtle way to incorporate patterned tights, try recreating another of Horgan’s looks—a black roll-neck dress, styled by Davis with white, semi-sheer tights featuring tiny, tonal polka dots, and white, pointed pumps. Monochrome has never looked so exciting. The tights are from Tabio, Davis’s go-to hosiery brand.
“I’m obsessed with Tabio,” she says. “I dare anyone to walk in and not spend at least a hundred pounds on tights and socks.”
Start slowly, with socks
A snazzy pair of socks can work wonders if you’re not ready to commit from waist to toe. Davis recalls styling Horgan in a seamed, sheer pair with a Simone Rocha dress. Meanwhile, the Telegraph fashion team loves a statement ankle sock. Acting fashion director Sarah Bailey recently wore red, glitter-flecked socks from & Other Stories with scarlet, block-heel loafers from Gucci to the office.
Stick to heels
Davis insists that heels are essential when styling colored tights. “It’s trickier to wear flats,” she explains. “I mean, Alexa Chung, Lucy Boynton, and all those style icons can pull it off, but for mere mortals, it’s less forgiving.”
As many of Horgan’s outfits show, the stylist loves a sharply pointed pump, but she also suggests a knee-high boot or peep-toe for a different vibe. “Sexy as hell,” Davis says. I don’t know about you, but that’s all the motivation I need to spend the rest of the year with rainbow-colored limbs.
