EVENT: Fashion Awards 2020

But this year, like everything else, it's gone virtual, and it's open to the public for the first time. The event will honour 20 designers, brands and individuals who have created positive change in the fashion world this year – what it will lack in red carpet glamour, expect it to make up for in exciting industry news.

MUSE: Emma Corrin
Emma Corrin has been the undisputed star of the latest series of The Crown, where she’s captured Princess Diana’s look and mannerisms down to a T. From shoots for Vanity Fair, Vogue – she was October 2020’s cover star – Interview and Buffalo to TV and red-carpet appearances in Loewe and Richard Quinn, she’s proven she’s just as much of a style icon off-screen as she is on the set of the Netflix hit.

NIGHTWEAR: If Only
Loungewear doesn't have to be all joggers and hoodies – just look at If Only, the new luxury nightdress label to know. Crafted from impossibly soft cotton, these pretty pieces will look just as good thrown over swimsuits when the time comes, as they do curled up at home now.

BEAUTY: Chanel Sublimage L’Essence De Teint
Make-up meets skincare with Chanel’s Sublimage L’Essence De Teint, a new radiance-generating serum foundation that creates a luminous finish and buildable coverage. The product has a fine, lightweight texture that blends into the skin seamlessly while providing a halo-like glow. Best of all, it’s available in 13 shades.

COLLAB: Bailey x Budd
Few women have the same enviable style as Laura Bailey, so when the opportunity arises to emulate her look, it's worth digging deeper. Her latest collaboration with classic shirtmakers Budd is characteristically cool, relaxed and androgynous – and puts a modern spin on the traditional men's shirt. Available in a range of styles and finishes, they're pieces you'll have forever.

DOCUMENTARY: Audrey
From the award-winning producers of McQueen comes Audrey, an intimate look at the highs and lows of Audrey Hepburn's life.

A hybrid of rare archive footage, cinematic dance sequences and interviews with those who knew her best, this documentary brings the film star to life.
