The Hadid Sisters Closed the Show at Fendi, Setting the Scene For a Fitting Tribute to Karl Lagerfeld

After the sad news of Karl Lagerfeld's passing earlier this week, the Fendi show was always going to be a hugely poignant part of Milan Fashion Week. It represented the last time we will see Karl's work as part of a Fendi runway show, though his legacy and hallmarks will no doubt continue on for years to come as Silvia Venturini Fendi continues to take the label forward. "Love KL" was written above the runway, while a graphic "F" in that same script curved its way onto the end of the runway, and indeed onto items of clothing that were shown as part of the collection.

The show itself was full of twists on classics: a succession of grown-up neutrals, tied with oversize bows and dotted with dashes of color: a green pleated skirt here, a pink boot there. Models carried matching buckled shoulder bags and top handle styles in patent and leather. The runway was closed by Bella and Gigi Hadid, both wearing nipped-waist midi dresses in sheer monogrammed fabrics - but their finale was by no means the end of the show.

As they left the stage and the lights went down, a video appeared, showing Karl Lagerfeld sketching the outfit he wore for his first day at Fendi, 54 years ago. "In the '60s we didn't hold back," he explained, before illustrating a young Karl wearing a Cerruti hat, an English hunting jacket, culottes, and his ever-present dark shades. What better way to pay homage to the Kaiser, than with a clip of him doing exactly what he loved? See the full collection ahead, as well as that moving video tribute.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
