Chanel debuted it's SS 16 Haute Couture collection in Paris earlier this week and it involved Star Wars galactic style ensembles, intense liquid liner and one adorable front row pooch. 

While Cara Delevingne's doggy was everything (literally everything), the beauty talking point of the show was most definitely the accurately named 'croissant bun' which was sported by all the models in the show including Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner. 

A cross between Princess Leia quirkiness and up-do chic, this hairstyle is unique, wearable and most importantly easy to achieve. 

As coined by top hair stylist Sam McKnight who would not stop tweeting about his '#chanelcroissant', the look was achieved using foam wires twisted into the desired pastry-inspired shape. 

"The inspiration was a Picasso sculpture which Karl showed me, with shaped hair in the back," Sam explained to Vogue.

"My team spent three days making 80 large croissant shapes from wired foam covered in human hair, to match the hair colour of each model. We then spent two days at Chanel before the show, fitting the pieces on each of the 65 models."

While croissant shaped foam buns do not seem to be readily available in shops just yet, we reckon a pretty similar look can be achieved using a DIY rolled up sock! (Bear with us). 

Make like most of the internet and instead of rolling the sock into a donut shape like so many before us, roll it up so that it is thicker in the middle and skinnier at the ends. Secure the shape with elastic bands. 

Next, part the hair down the middle and pull straight hair into a low pony-tail. Then add your croissant shaped bun to the nape of the neck and roll the hair in the ponytail around it. Secure with bobby pins. 

We will most definitely be giving this elegant, edgy look a whirl.

So we know there are only two weeks left of autumn and therefore two weeks until the official start of winter (NOOO!),  but there is still plenty of time to incorporate the autumnal colour palette into your make up regime.

Sumptuous burnt oranges, leafy greens and deep, mahogany browns were all big beauty trends on this year's A/W catwalks.

You know what we’re talking about.

Here’s how you can embrace autumn on your face: 

1. Autumn Flame

The trend: Burnt, smoky oranges are the perfect autumnal colours as seen here on the A/W 2015 catwalk for Hervé Léger . Don't be afraid to embrace these sultry tones across the face.

Make it work for you: Use a pigmented, bright orange across the eyelid (smoke out with a soft brown if it is too intense). Then take a soft coral toned blush across the cheeks and finish with a peachy hue on the lips for a look that ignites your features. 

2. Autumn Forest 

The trend: Forget the traditional smoky eye using black and grey tones and opt instead for warm brown hues.

Make it work for you: Use a beige eye shadow for the inner crease before using a deep mahogany shade across the entire outer eye area. Smoke this colour right out to the crease and underneath the lash line. Use a gold or honey shadow to bring the autumnal shade right up to the lash line. Keep the rest of the face matte and nude; finish with a brown eyeliner or mascara.  

3. Autumn Leaves 

​

The trend: Green might not be the first colour you think of when doing your eyeshadow but deep greens are really gorgeous in combination especially with sallow skin. Just as browns enhance a green eye, greens do the same for brown eyes.

Make it work for you: Use a soft brown tone on the lids and inner eye area before smoking out with a deep, forest green shade. Use a green liner to define the eyes and finish with a brown mascara.

As we all know, nail trends come and go; in summer and spring pastel nails are always the way to go, and in autumn and winter it's back to our usual dark hues. 

But there's one colour that has been missing for a while now. Madonna wore the shade in her Take A Bow video and Uma Thurman totally rocked the polish in Pulp Fiction.

Sarah Michelle Gellar even gave the polish a shout-out in the first ever episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. 

Yep, Vamp (the shade that even boasts its own Wikipedia page), is back on the market. Chanel has rolled out a holiday beauty collection to celebrate the shade's 20th anniversary and finally, it's available to buy again. 

Chanel Vamp Attitude is the limited collection that would make any '90s girl's dream come true.

The collection comes complete with Vamp-inspired eye-shadow palettes, lipsticks, glosses, polishes and of course, the beloved Vamp itself.

Karl Lagerfeld has been characterised in nearly every way possible; from being transformed into a Simpson to having his own Where's Karl? book (Where's Wally?), so it's really no surprise that Kim wanted him in her game too. 

In the mobile app game, Karl comes complete with his trademark ponytail, starched white collar and dark sunglasses, as well as owning his own boutique in Paris. 

"Kim's contribution to beauty and fashion – and what made her such an icon – is the fact that you don't have to be super slim and very tall to be beautiful," Karl tells Vogue.

"Others tried, but she succeeded in giving other girls like herself confidence. And I admire her for that."

Mr Lagerfeld will be in good company in Kim's virtual world, as he will join Top Model's André Leon Talley and Vogue Japan's Anna Dello Russo in helping players to follow the reality stars footsteps.

In the game, these famous characters will help you jump from being an E-list star to an A-list star by completing a series of tasks, like meeting managers, modelling gigs and attending parties. 

"Karl Lagerfeld is such an icon and I've been lucky enough to work with him several times over the years," Kim said of the partnership. 

With Karl in the game now, you will be able to purchase Chanel clothing for your personal avatar… if only we were able to afford Chanel in real life.

Now 32 weeks into her first pregnancy, there's no doubt that model Coco Austin looks incredible.

In fact, as proven by a load of recent photographs, the star – whose birth-name is Nicole Marrow – hardly looks like she's expecting at all. 

Taking to Instagram last night while deciding on an outfit for the evening, the wife of rapper and actor Ice T donned not one but THREE different dresses for the camera.

And suffice to say that none are typical of maternity wear for a women seven months gone. 

The first snap – arguably the most striking – shows the 36-year-old in a sweeping sheer black, polka dot gown. 

Underneath she wore high-waisted pants, though strategically-placed dots meant she could go braless. 

"Feeling my inner Lady Gaga in this dress," she said.

Her second option was also full-length: a gold sparkly number that boasted a seriously low-cut neckline and long sleeves. 

"Another option… Picture does not give this dress justice… it's so sparkly," she explained in the accompanying caption.

Finally, Coco put on a dramatic lace and tulle dress – complete with a sweeping neckline and (quelle surprise) lots of décolletage.

"Ok now I'm just having fun… Playing dress-up is such a girlie thing to do!" she told her fans.

Married for 13 years, she and Ice T, 57, are expecting their first child together, a girl whom they have said they will name Chanel, before the end of the year.

He already has two children – a daughter and a son – from previous relationships.

It seems Johnny is beginning to worry about his daughter, Lily Rose's rising career!

The 16-year-old has become a major sensation over the past few months, modelling for Chanel, as well as landing two major movie roles, one of which she'll be starring beside Natalie Portman.

And only two months ago, the rising star admitted to being sexually fluid, much to everyone's surprise. 

But now, Daddy Johnny, has revealed in an interview with Gala Magazine, that he's actually quite worried about his little girl. 

"To be honest, I'm quite worried. I wasn't expecting all this to happen … especially not at this age. But it's her passion, and she's having fun."

We're sure with Mr Depp by her side, Lily Rose will be kept on a straight path!

Kate Middleton definitely nabbed the title for tiniest celeb baby bump during both her 2013 and 2015 pregnancies.

However, it seems there is now a new contender for her crown: namely, Coco Austin. 

The model was attending one of her 57-year-old husband's gigs yesterday when she posted a snap to Twitter.

Donning skin-tight white jeans, towering shoes and a blue chiffon shirt, Coco looked FAR from anything near her third trimester.

Using the hashtag #28weeks and an emoji of a baby's bottle, the 36-year-old wrote: Chilling baby… I'm just chillin… Backstage at BC concert supporting my man… Thats how I roll."

And her streamlined appearance didn't go unnoticed by fans. 

"How in the HELL are u wearing those heels at 28 weeks?? You look great though," said one, while another stated: "wow, you don't look like ur even showing."

A third fan offered: "Coco you are so blessed to have such a little baby bump. The less stretching the better. You are flawlessly rocking mommyhood." 

Married for 13 years, she and rapper Ice T are expecting their first child together, a girl whom they have said they will name Chanel, before the end of the year.

When it comes to defining the eternal allure of old Hollywood glamour, no woman has made more of an impact than Marilyn Monroe.

As proof, look no further than Lifetime’s The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe, which has been nominated for three Emmys—including, of course, best hair and makeup. 

We break down the iconic actresses own words, to give you all the captivating secrets behind the star's beauty.

“Despite its great vogue in California, I don’t think suntanned skin is any more attractive . . . or any healthier, for that matter. I’m personally opposed to a deep tan because I like to feel blonde all over."

 

“In Hollywood, a girl’s virtue is much less important than her hairdo.”

 

“You know, they ask me questions. Just an example: What do I wear to bed? . . . So I said, ‘Chanel No. 5,’ because it’s the truth!”

 

“I don’t count rhythmically like the exercise people on the radio; I couldn’t stand exercise if I had to feel regimented about it.”

Daniel Day Lewis might hide from the spotlight but that is certainly not stopping his son, Gabriel, from standing out in the crowd. 

The 20 year-old just landed a major modelling campaign for Parisian store, Galeries Lafayette. 

Gabriel, who is the son of two-time Oscar winner Daniel and French actress Isabelle Adjani, is signed up to the major American modelling agency, IMG Models. 

Commenting on his new campaign, Gabriel wrote on Twitter: "Literally so happy to be a part of this campaign. I used to shop at Galeries Lafayette when I was a kid.. Ironic haha."

The model is no stranger to high-profile fashion work though as he accompanied Julianne Moore down the Chanel Haute Couture runway earlier this year, while also shooting for Calvin Klein. 

As the years go on, Gabriel is looking more and more like his father.

Over the summer he stepped out the Vogue Paris Foundation Gala, with a look extremely similar to Daniel. 

It seems things are on the up for the budding supermodel!

We're excited for this one!

Kristen Stewart is all set to play fashion house founder, Coco Chanel in a new movie which will be directed by Karl Lagerfeld. 

The short film which will premiere at the Metiers d'Arts show in Rome in December will see Kristen depict an actress who is preparing to play Coco for a movie in the short film.

How meta. 

But it really is no wonder that there is a little twist as Karl Lagerfeld is known for producing the shock factor. 

Women's Wear Daily website reports that the film will be "a fictional, behind-the-scenes look at a yet-to-be-made biopic about founder Gabrielle (Coco) Chanel," starring Stewart as a young Chanel alongside actress Geraldine Chapline, who has also portrayed the fashion house founder in previous biopic films".

Karl, the creative director of Chanel, hired Kristen after she reportedly impressed him in the initial stages of the auditions. 

He revealed that the Twilight actress played the role "really, really mean". 

"You only see her in tests and she's complaining about everything. She's mean with the director, mean with the producer."

Kristen is no stranger to Chanel though, as she has modelled for some of their major campaigns, as well as sitting front row at many of their fashion week runway shows.

Mr Lagerfeld conceived the plot, dialogue, costumes and casting, also convincing Harper’s Bazaar editor Laura Brown to portray an American journalist.

“They make so many movies about Chanel, why can’t I make one?” he shrugged.

We think this is going to be interesting!

You can’t deny that there is a lot of Kardashians and Jenners to keep track of these days. They are everywhere you look and there does not seem to be any slowing down.

Since Kylie’s many celebrations for her big 18 birthday, the famous family have been giving us all some serious holiday wardrobe envy as they prance around St. Barths.

 

baeeeewatch

A photo posted by Kendall Jenner (@kendalljenner) on

Now there is some great news for anyone who considers the siblings to be their ultimate style icons.

The website The RealReal, have in stock items from the wardrobes of the Kardashians and Jenners. It seems like before their big family holiday they took the time clear out some closets. How nice of them.

 

 

 

 

So now you can actually own the pants Kendall wore during Paris Fashion Week. Or the spiked Louboutins Khloe wore to kick the shins of her enemies. That’s probably not what she did with them, but they do have that badass vibe going for them.

For anyone out there in need of both a taco fix and some Jenner style inspo, you can get your hands on Kylie’s Chanel clutch. Fancy, and also reminiscent of a tasty snack.

While the family might not fancy owning the pieces anymore, they are still quite the style guide, and really who wouldn’t want to own something the famous family have lived in. Imagine, you could be sweating into the same white tunic (from The Row, FYI) that Kendall did once upon a time.

Except not, because we all know that Kardashians don’t sweat, they glow. That’s how good their makeup skills are these days.
