Headlines of sequels, prequels and remakes are fairly run-of-the-mill these days, but one project we can absolutely get on board with is the return of Practical Magic.
Starring the original Owens sisters, Nicole Kidman, and Sandra Bullock, part two of the witchy dramedy was confirmed back in 2024 by Warner Bros., which produced the original 1998 flick. And as of today, it seems the wait is almost over, as we have the first official trailer for the sequel!
While it’s unclear if Evan Rachel Wood and Camilla Belle, who starred as younger versions of the sisters in the original film, will return, Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest have reprised their roles as the sisters’ aunts, per the trailer.
Also joining the cast are Maisie Williams, Joey King, Lee Pace and Xolo Maridueña.
Sandra Bullock and Nichole Kidman in Practical Magic (1998)
Directed by Griffin Dunne—who just so happens to be the nephew of Joan Didion—Practical Magic was adapted from the 1995 novel of the same name by Alice Hoffman.
The story follows sisters Sally (Bullock) and Gillian (Kidman), who, after losing their parents, are raised by their aunties—played by Channing and Wiest—to fulfil their inherited supernatural capabilities. Like many others, the two are navigating a family curse passed down, which inhibits them from forming healthy romantic relationships. When one of those flings turns dangerous for Gillian, the women must tap into their craft to be liberated.
Though the film itself wasn’t a critical triumph, it’s grown into a cult classic over the years, most notably for its endless sartorial, beauty, and even interior inspiration. Between Gillian’s 90s blowout, Sally’s effortless style and the rustic-whimsy appeal of the house they reside in, it makes for moodboard catnip.
Back in 2019, it was reported that HBO Max was pursuing a Practical Magic spinoff series titled Rules of Magic, based on Hoffman’s prequel novel. Nothing ever came to fruition, but this news feels much more promising.

Meghan Markle may make headlines wherever she goes, but with a well-documented instinct for dressing according to geography—often using her wardrobe to spotlight local designers—we find ourselves paying particularly close attention to her sartorial choices as she touches down in a new corner of the world.
Eight years after her last official tour with Prince Harry, the Duchess’s return to Australia has been marked by a distinctly modern royal formula: polished dressing deeply influenced by local fashion. If the 2018 tour was defined by her elevated maternity wear, the 2026 visit reads like an ode to the coastal sophistication and tonal palettes of her current surroundings.
Ahead, see all her looks from the couple’s 2026 Australian tour.

For her first engagements in Melbourne, which included visits to the Royal Children’s Hospital and McAuley Community Services for Women, the former actress channelled understated authority in the ‘Priscilla’ Dress by Australian designer Karen Gee. Rendered in deep navy with a clean crew neckline and a gently cinched waist, the piece was punctuated by six gold buttons at the bust, providing just enough ornamentation.
And speaking of shiny things, her Puffy Hearts earrings from Real Fine Studio complemented the look perfectly.

Later that day, for an appearance at the Australian National Veterans Arts Museum, she pivoted into something subtly more directional, donning a suede utility cocoon bomber and matching column skirt in khaki from St. Agni.
Underneath, the taupe Annie top by P. Johnson added a layer of soft contrast, while nude heels from Aquazzura elongated the silhouette without distracting from the suede’s texture.

On a chillier Thursday morning, she opted for something more laidback, but no less statement-making, with a graphic white t-shirt that supports Alliance of Moms, a community of mothers supporting pregnant and parenting teens in foster care. Her bootcut jeans by ROLLAS in a faded wash, white sneakers, and the ‘Lou’ coat by Friends With Frank completed the outfit.

Continuing the Friends With Frank theme, she later swapped out the jeans-and-a-tee look for the brand’s new ‘Anya’ dress in a deep khaki tone.
Featuring an elegant crew neck and chic shift silhouette, the mini was accessorised with black stockings and black pointed Manolo Blahnik pumps.

Beauty and Fashion News for April
Miu Miu taps Gigi Hadid for 2026 Leather Goods campaign
Image: Miu Miu
Miu Miu’s latest leather goods campaign unfolds like a gentle rebellion against tradition. Photographed by Steven Meisel, Gigi Hadid—who has fronted the campaign four years in a row—plays the role of a modern heroine inhabiting a prim, bourgeois apartment, only to subtly disrupt it with her own poised insouciance. There’s a youthful irreverence in the imagery as she shifts between introspection and mischief, turning stillness into something livelier.
The brand’s signature Arcadie and Wander bags, rendered in matelassé leather, take centre stage in punchy and polished hues, their soft structure designed to move with the body. It’s a study in contrast, where polish meets play and heritage meets modern liberty. Proof that confidence and individuality are always the ultimate accessories.
We can never get enough of Pedro Pascal, and the fashion world has also caught onto his charm, as Chanel officially appoints the actor as House ambassador. Known for effortlessly moving between blockbuster franchises and critically acclaimed dramas, Pascal brings a distinctly human charisma to everything he touches, and his red carpet appearances are always a highlight of any Hollywood event.
After attending the Spring/Summer 2026 show at the Grand Palais—the first under Creative Director Matthieu Blazy—and attending the Oscars in Chanel, the partnership now formalises what already felt like a natural alignment. With his thoughtful, emotionally intelligent, and irreverent spirit, this partnership feels truly aligned.
The AO enters a new era with BOSS
Image: BOSS
When BOSS announced its role as Official Lifestyle Outfitter of the Australian Open from 2027, it signalled more than a sponsorship, but a deliberate step into a major cultural arena. Tennis has long been intertwined with fashion, but this partnership taps into the sport’s renewed global energy and its increasingly style-conscious audience.
The scale alone is impressive, with up to 4,000 staff, officials and ball kids dressed in the brand’s signature tailoring-inspired uniforms, creating a cohesive visual identity across Melbourne Park. Expect clean lines, refined palettes and fabrics engineered to withstand the Aussie summer. It’s a move that positions BOSS squarely at the intersection of sport and lifestyle, where performance and presentation serve equal weight.
Amid all the opinions of experts, influencers, and everyone else in between we’re exposed to regularly, hydration is a universally praised hero. And with their renewed collaboration, Frank Green and Laneige lean fully into this. After their first partnership sold out in just 36 hours, the duo returns with three new shades of Frank Green’s ceramic reusable bottle, each designed to mirror the glossy finish of Laneige’s cult-favourite lip serums.
It’s the small luxuries that punctuate ordinary routines, and by bringing the two together, the cult favourite brands tap into a broader shift towards beauty that extends beyond the bathroom shelf and into everyday life.
Trust Celine to turn the humble lip balm into something nearing jewellery. The latest addition to the Le Rouge Celine collection introduces eight matte-finish balms this month, including one universal and seven softly tinted shades.
Designed to deliver hydration with a barely-there veil, it offers a perfectly natural, subtly blurred colour. In fact, during some recent travel, this balm and some SPF were all I needed to carry day to day.
The formula itself blends natural-origin ingredients with black rose oil and hyaluronic acid for comfort and moisture, just as the weather begins to cause some cracks. Housed in a faceted, refillable silver case embossed with the Maison’s Triomphe emblem, the balm also feels less like a cosmetic and more like a keepsake—and easy to spot in your bag!
Lucy Folk delivers a sensory journey with ‘Languages’
Image: Lucy Folk
Lucy Folk’s latest collection feels almost spiritual in its intent, exploring language as something felt rather than spoken.
Drawing on the four elements—Earth, Air, Fire and Water—the pieces centre on radiant gold, shaped to move with the body and respond to touch. In every detail, there’s the brand’s signature sense of joyful magnetism, charmingly brought to life by its own store community starring as campaign faces.
Bon Elliot has officially entered the skincare arena
Image: Bon Elliot
Newcomer Bon Elliott has arrived with a proposition: luxury skincare grounded in dermatological precision.
Founded by Sydney-based, board-certified dermatologist Dr Bonnie Fergie alongside a family team spanning Sydney and New York, the brand blends the clinical science we need with the modern minimalism we crave. Its debut product, the Hydrating Performance Serum, centres on the patent-pending AMBR Complex—a luxurious blend of pre- and probiotics, ceramides and antioxidants designed to rebalance the skin’s microbiome and strengthen the barrier.
The result is skincare that prioritises long-term function over quick fixes, delivering hydration, luminosity and resilience in considered steps.
Italian craftsmanship has a new outpost, as Tod’s reopens its Westfield Sydney boutique with a luxurious new concept that leans into the brand’s signature Italian sensibility. Spanning over 130 square metres on level four, the space pairs Travertino marble with warm wood and soft leather finishes, evoking the intimacy of a refined home.
Alongside Spring/Summer 2026 ready-to-wear, icons like the Gommino loafers and T Timeless bag anchor the offering for new and loyal customers alike.

Weekend Max Mara celebrates expression with new collaborations
Weekend Max Mara
Weekend Max Mara’s latest Signature Capsule Collection, A Weekend with an Artist, takes a familiar wardrobe staple and gives it a painterly twist. At its centre is the Canasta trench, a longstanding house icon reimagined by five globally recognised artists: Victoria Kosheleva, Paola Pivi, Tschabalala Self, Tai Shani and Shafei Xia.
Selected by curator Francesco Bonami, each artist approaches the trench as a blank canvas. Kosheleva brings a kind of cyber-expressionist intensity, while Pivi’s rainbow stripes feel sun-soaked and playful. Self introduces her signature Infinity Flowers, Shani leans into glossy black vinyl with irreverent illustration, and Xia offers something more poetic, with watercolour motifs that explore femininity and strength. The silhouette remains unchanged, allowing the artistry to speak.
Few sneakers have managed to remain culturally relevant across decades quite like the Superstar, and Adidas Originals’ latest campaign leans confidently into that legacy. Titled “Superstars,” it stars Samuel L. Jackson alongside a cast spanning music, sport and fashion, including familiar faces such as JENNIE and Kendall Jenner, as well as James Harden and Lamine Yamal.
Set within the surreal “Hotel Superstar,” the campaign plays with the idea of time—or rather, the absence of it. As Jackson moves through its corridors, each room reveals a different cultural force, all united by the same shoe. Directed by Thibaut Grevet, it’s cinematic without being overly polished, allowing personality to take centre stage.
The collection itself follows suit, with classic black-and-white being sharpened with red accents, while apparel expands into looser tailoring, denim and even crochet.
Gucci unveils See-Now-Buy-Now edit for Primavera collection
Image: Gucci Fall/Winter 2026
Gucci’s Fall/Winter 2026 Primavera collection arrives with disruption. Following Demna’s debut show in February, the House has introduced a see-now, buy-now edit—a curated selection available immediately, well ahead of the collection’s official July release.
Equally notable is the digital experience. Presented through a newly designed platform, the collection unfolds sequentially, inviting users to navigate it as they might a show, making it less a traditional window-shopping experience and more about discovery.
It’s a move that challenges the traditional cadence of the fashion calendar, which fits with Demna’s subversive MO. And perhaps it’s a glimpse into how fashion might be consumed moving forward…
Yu Mei rolls out renewed favourites with Leather ’26
Image: Yu Mei
Yu Mei continues to fulfil all our accessory needs with Leather ’26, a slow, considered rollout of foundational pieces delivered in monthly Editions.
Anchored in the brand’s supple New Zealand deer leather, alongside suede and lambskin, the collection builds on a modern “carrying wardrobe.” Edition 02 sees the return of the ‘Claudia’ tote in Molasses, a deep chocolate-brown, while cult favourites like the ‘Teresa’ and ‘Brooke’ reappear in soft Sand Stone, an elegant pale-camel hue.
Shot in Sydney, the campaign leans into gesture and movement, offering an elegant study in everyday utility.
Friends With Frank unveils its Autumn/Winter ’26 collection
Image: Friends With Frank
Friends With Frank’s AW26 collection leans into what it does best: refining the essentials. Think softly structured shirting in versatile colourways, natural-fibre knitwear and denim, all layered with an ease that feels instinctive rather than styled.
This season, an elevated plaid and subtle injections of colour—the perfect poppy red and a deeply versatile chocolate brown, to name some—lend a fresh perspective, while on the accessories front, reworked signatures bring new depth.
It’s a wardrobe built on familiarity of tone and purpose, only sharper, more assured, and perfectly crafted for the upcoming season.
If you, too, have been attempting the ‘Nina Park lip’ without success, MECCA MAX’s new Multiplayer Mode Shaping Stick is here to provide some assistance. Intuitive, tonal, and unfussy, it encourages experimentation across eyes, cheeks, lips, and jawline, with eight versatile shades to play around with.
Its creamy, blendable formula offers a sheer, matte colour with a softly diffused finish, while the rounded tip makes precision feel effortless—Yes, even for the less steady-handed!
UNIQLO U fuses function and fashion with Future Layers
Image: UNIQLO
UNIQLO is a brand that has perfected the art of the collab, but its U collection is always a particular hit. For its latest Fall/Winter offering, designed by Christophe Lemaire and Sarah-Linh Tran in Paris, continues its cerebral approach to everyday dressing.
Drawing on the deep blues of the North Sea, this range is a study in calm, solitude and restraint. Titled “Future Layers,” it plays with contrast: merino wool against crisp nylon, soft lambswool alongside technical PUFFTECH. Silhouettes are functional yet polished, from water-repellent parkas to softly sculpted knits, all rendered in a palette of indigo, basil and plum—a perfect wardrobe addition for the season ahead.
Renowned fragrance brand Trudon has quietly entered a new chapter under Creative Director Hugo Ferroux, whose debut scent, Figuerie, looks to the past to shape something entirely contemporary.
Inspired by the Royal Figuerie of Louis XIV’s Versailles gardens, the fragrance explores fig in duality—bright and green at first, before deepening into something earthier and more shadowed. Notes of patchouli, moss and sandalwood lend a grounding warmth, evoking wintered trees and wooden crates. Available across candles, diffusers and room sprays, it offers a refined, atmospheric take on a familiar note.
Luggage atelier Antler continues to refine its travel offering by introducing Forest Green, a rich evolution of its signature hue, across its Heritage Trunk and Cabin cases.
The new shade is rooted in luxury, lending depth to the brand’s clean and functional design ethos. Alongside it comes a new travel bag and a considered edit of tags and charms, designed to personalise the journey. It’s a subtle update, but it explores how even the most practical pieces can carry a sense of identity.

Awards season may culminate with the Academy Awards, but fashion’s final act actually begins afterwards. Following the ceremony at the Dolby Theatre, Hollywood heavyweights make their way to the legendary Vanity Fair Oscars After Party, an after-hours gathering that has, over three decades, become as much a part of Oscar night as the ceremony itself.
With its famous guest list spanning actors, musicians, models, designers, athletes and industry power players, the VF party’s red carpet—transformed this year into a sleek silver setting—has long offered a second fashion moment to rival the Oscars. After all, once the awards are handed out, the mood tends to loosen, and the outfits follow suit.
This year’s ceremony saw Michael B. Jordan win Best Actor for Sinners, while One Battle After Another secured Best Picture and Best Director for Paul Thomas Anderson. Now, the evening continues with a fresh round of looks, as stars swap their awards-show ensembles for something a touch more daring.

Awards season has reached its grand finale. Today, the 98th Academy Awards unfolded at the Dolby Theatre, where Hollywood’s biggest stars gathered to celebrate the year’s most celebrated films. Hosted once again by Conan O’Brien, the ceremony promises the usual mix of cinematic triumph, emotional speeches—and, of course, exceptional fashion.
But before the academy reveals its choices, there’s the Oscars red carpet, which has long served as one of fashion’s most closely watched stages. And with this year’s guest list reading like a who’s who of modern Hollywood—nominees Teyana Taylor, Emma Stone, Jessie Buckley, Nicole Kidman, to name a few—you can bet there was plenty of style to rival the performances.
From dramatic silhouettes to impeccable tailoring, here are the best fashion moments from the 2026 Academy Awards red carpet.

On the final day of Paris Fashion Week, guests arriving at the Palais d’Iéna stepped into something unexpected. For Fall/Winter 2026, Miu Miu had transformed the stately modernist interior into a mossy woodland clearing, complete with a dirt floor and the faint scent of fresh earth. It was an evocative stage for Miuccia Prada’s latest collection, which looked at the body in its larger context, exploring how small it may be in the world, yet how powerfully it inhabits it.
If recent Miu Miu seasons have thrived on playful provocation, this one felt quieter, more introspective. Clothes hugged close, rendered in washed cotton poplin, double cashmere and linen that appeared gently worn, as though already part of the wearer’s life. There was a softness to the fabrics that suggested intimacy, garments designed to be felt as much as seen.
Silhouettes played cleverly with proportion, as Prada’s work often does. Some jackets shrank around the shoulders, recalling ’90s minimalism, while coats ballooned outward in textured layers. Elsewhere, delicate dresses with 1920s-style drop waists shimmered with crystal sprays and scalloped appliqués. Even the sweetest details—bows placed like fragments of lingerie, embroidered tulle, plush shearling linings—seemed to underline Prada’s fascination with clothing that sits closest to the body.
Casting took on its own narrative. Actors including Gillian Anderson, Chloë Sevigny and Diana Silvers walked alongside runway stalwarts such as the iconic Kristen McMenamy and legendary Australian model Gemma Ward, establishing a cast that stayed true to Miu Miu’s irreverent spirit.
A focus on texture grounded some of the romance. Chunky mittens, fluffy trapper hats, rumpled leather coats, shearling trims, high-sheen neutral tones, and the brand’s cultish bubble-soled boots added a practical counterpoint to the collection’s tenderness.
After the show, Prada spoke simply: the body may be small, but it is enough. During a time that prioritises speed and keeping up, Fall/Winter 2026 celebrates the value of individuality and doing things a little differently.
Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2026 / All images: supplied
In the courtyard of the Cour Carrée, Louis Vuitton staged a landscape that felt both of this earth and something else entirely. Conceived by production designer Jeremy Hindle, the set transformed the historic square of the Musée du Louvre into a futuristic pastoral, part forest clearing, part sci-fi tableau, setting the scene for Nicolas Ghesquière’s Fall/Winter 2026 meditation on fashion and the natural world.

In the courtyard of the Cour Carrée, Louis Vuitton staged a landscape that felt both of this earth and something else entirely. Conceived by production designer Jeremy Hindle, the set transformed the historic square of the Musée du Louvre into a futuristic pastoral, part forest clearing, part sci-fi tableau, setting the scene for Nicolas Ghesquière’s Fall/Winter 2026 meditation on fashion and the natural world.
Ghesquière has long been a designer who looks forward by looking sideways, and here he turned his attention to nature, probing it not just for its beauty, but appreciating it as a design system in its own right. Mountains, plains and forests became metaphors for shape and structure, with silhouettes that appeared moulded by wind, rain and sun. The result was clothing that felt instinctive yet boldly futuristic, as though unearthed rather than constructed.
There was an intriguing sense of collage throughout, too. Animal-inspired motifs appeared on canvas and denim, while leather florals bloomed across coats and dresses, serving as sculptural appliqués. Some pieces evoked traditional dress, the kind shaped over generations by climate and labour, though translated through Vuitton’s crafted lens.
As we’ve come to expect from the Maison, craft and technology, past and future, walked hand in hand this season, with organic matter anchoring the vision. Buttons resembled polished stones; heels curved like antlers; surfaces were grooved and grained to mimic wood, but moved with surprising softness.
Accessories, naturally, bolstered the collection. The House’s heritage as a trunk maker came through in bags designed for movement and curiosity. A highlight was the return of the Louis Vuitton Noé bag, revived in its original proportions and colourway from 1932, cementing exploration as a part of Louis Vuitton’s DNA.
