Blake Lively‘s recent holiday appearances provided a clear lesson in purposeful, expressive, and carefully edited seasonal look. When the actress went out in New York, she created two unique fashion moments that easily transitioned from festive richness to winter clarity.

Her initial look was influenced by classic holiday color shades, which were interpreted through careful design decisions. Lively was dressed in a Santa-red tea-length silk dress designed by Annina. It had a structured corset bodice and was softened with ruffle details that struck a balance between softness and structure.

The outfit remained firmly within fashion territory because the shade felt purposeful rather than a costume. Accessories were chosen with equal care. Lorraine Schwartz’s emerald jewelry introduced contrast and depth, extending the color story beyond the dress itself. Christian Louboutin heels adorned with crystals added eye-catching detail while complementing the shape without overpowering it.

Her second appearance was completely different. Lively stepped into a winter-white composition led by a Tamara Ralph tweed jacket beautified with white and gold beading, which replaced warmth with clear clarity. The piece sat well between evening dress and fitted casual dress serving as both a main point and a structural element.

Beneath it, a sheer midi skirt with feathered edges added motion and softness while adding contrast without going overboard. The styling was completed with metallic rings and white Louboutin heels, keeping the focus on fabric quality and detailing rather than decoration. Taken together, the two outfits move naturally from one mood to the other, without a harsh contrast.

The deliberate shift from saturated red to icy white explored different holiday moods without repetition.While one embraced restraint through texture and proportion, the other leaned into richness and tradition.

Taraji P. Henson recently shared a new street-style look on Instagram, and it was a mixture of rich textures and cold-weather mood. The actress kept things streamlined, showing how to dress during the winter.

She started with a black, oversized faux-fur jacket, adding warmth to the outfit, but still wearable for the season. Underneath, Taraji wore a deep burgundy Schiaparelli bomber-inspired leather bustier. The fitted top hugged her waist and added definition.

For the bottom half, she kept it simple with skintight black trousers. The slim fit maintains the look, allowing the statement pieces on top to take focus. She finished the outfit with black ankle boots.

Her accessories combined a small brown handbag and gold earrings while her short haircut and soft glam makeup kept the overall look fresh and modern.

This outfit aligns with fall and winter fashion trends. Fuzzy outerwear, leather pieces, and fitted trousers are all a must-have for the colder months, and Taraji combines all three in a way that feels current.

This isn’t the first time Taraji P. Henson has stepped out in Schiaparelli, as she continues to lean toward the brand’s bold, sculpted designs. This look feels consistent with her recent style choices.

Running errands usually calls for sneakers, or flats, but the star was spotted out in Los Angeles wearing platform heels paired with a trench coat while heading out for the day.

Rihanna chose a Celine tan trench coat that reached below her knees. The coat was cinched at the waist with a black leather belt featuring a gold chain, adding definition. A bold red scarf around her neck brought color to the outfit.

The beauty mogul wore oversized sunglasses and a bold red lipstick giving her outfit a touch of a classic glamour note. The standout piece was her choice of footwear from The Attico’s Spring 2026 collection, tall platform heels that took the outfit beyond the basics. The leather heels had an ankle strap and a wooden sole that added a high-fashion touch to her daytime look.

This outing came just one day after she was seen attending a Roc Nation holiday party in Hollywood, showing that her schedule has been packed with public appearances.  Whether she’s heading to a party or running daily tasks, Rihanna’s styling always feels intentional.
