Dark Fashion Sense
With two Grammy awards, a breakout hit and an upcoming beauty collaboration under her belt, Lorde (born Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O’Connor) has done more than most dream of at age seventeen. In a year packed with heavy-hitting pop stars returning to the scene, the singer became music’s unlikeliest queen bee, dethroning Miley Cyrus on the charts and sweeping awards season with her first single, “Royals.” With a distinctive love for anything black, Lorde’s style also stood out in looks by Balenciaga, Prada and Chanel.
This century’s answer to Wednesday Adams is all about goth vibes, as evidenced by her penchant for chunky Stella McCartney boots, vampy lips and black tipped nail art. Black on black on black seems to extend to the red carpet as well, with her mirrored Tom Ford dress at this year’s Brit Awards becoming a standout.
With Lorde’s storytelling songs and authentic sense of style, this New Zealand native has become a breathe of fresh air for music today. All hail music’s new royal.

A closer look at the star’s stunning jewellery obsession: Emma Watson’s ear cuffs
It’s pretty much a fact that Emma Watson is always flawless. She’s perfected the art of looking on-trend without being overly trendy and has an air of elegance other young starlets could only dream of achieving. Of course, the downside to all this elegance is that we usually only see Watson when she’s working—no tabloid cover scandals for this actor. Thankfully she’s been out and about quite frequently over the last few weeks, promoting her latest film, Noah, and we don’t need to tell you that she’s been killing it on the red carpet.
Her two most recent red carpet looks, from the New York City and London premieres, involved simple, sculptural dresses in solid colours. In New York, Watson wore a black, long-sleeve Oscar de le Renta gown from the Fall 2014 collection. A deep-cut, open back kept it from being too mature a look for the 23-year-old—who was quoted this weekend as saying she can’t wait to age. (Lol, okay.) Today in London, Watson stunned in an all-white Ralph Lauren Collection silk column gown. Both looks are top notch, but what really has us on board with Watson’s style are her stand-out accessories.
Basically: those ear cuffs, guys! Watson’s actually worn ear cuffs a number of times on the red carpet, starting with a stunning set by Repossi which she donned last May at The Bling Ring premiere in Cannes. In New York for Noah, Watson’s ear cuff of choice was more of a winding chain of yellow gold and diamonds, centered on her ear, by jewellery designer Ana Khouri. She paired it with a rose gold bracelet, matte black nails and a whole mess of delicate stacking and third knuckle rings. (Also, extra beauty props for Watson’s bright orange lip!) In London today, Watson wore a yet-unidentified smaller chain-style ear cuff, paired with a more traditional cuff ring at the top of her ear. When it comes to ear-adoring, more really is is more. That being said, we need to get ourselves to a jewellery store, pronto.
