A curated roundup of the best new fashion arrivals, hand-picked by our editors
With the Met Gala just days away, all eyes will be on those iconic red steps come Monday night to see how guests interpret the event’s ‘Garden of Time’ theme. Of course, we expect there’ll be plenty of floral looks, making Agua by Agua Bendita’s romantic ‘Nispero Oasis’ dress a timely investment, but it’s also a timeless one.
“A garden party is the perfect excuse to wear a pretty floral print, and this one by Agua by Agua Bendita in breathable linen is the ideal piece,” says NET-A-PORTER shopping assistant Millie Parry, who will be styling hers with Gucci Eyewear’s oval-framed sunglasses and the house’s chic raffia bag. Part of our NET SUSTAIN edit of consciously crafted clothing and made in the label’s native Colombia, the dress is beautifully printed and embroidered by hand with delicate flora and fauna – a meticulous process that takes 12 hours to complete.
On cooler days, Parry recommends throwing Agolde’s ‘Martika’ jacket over your shoulders: “It’s a nice contrast to the femininity of the dress and easy to slip on when it gets a little chilly,” she adds. Another highlight from our NET SUSTAIN edit, it’s made from faded blue denim using 100% organic cotton fibers and has a loose, boxy fit that works just as well with polished dresses as it does with jeans or cargo pants.
To keep your look a touch more casual, choose Aquazzura’s ‘Amalfi’ sandals. These NET-A-PORTER exclusives stand out for their knotted straps and glossy red beads, and while they are a vacation essential, they won’t look out of place at brunch in the city, either. Alternatively, for occasions that call for a heel, Manolo Blahnik’s Roman-inspired ‘Susa’ sandals will effortlessly bring your look together. Complement their metallic hue with gold jewelry, such as Lié Studio’s ‘Elizabeth’ earrings (another NET-A-PORTER exclusive) that are elegantly knotted to replicate vintage styles.
Finally, for a glowing complexion that lasts all day, apply MZ Skin’s ‘The Light Moisturiser’ before makeup and sunscreen. The lightweight formula is enriched with a cocktail of hydrating and plumping ingredients, including hyaluronic acid and collagen, leaving your complexion visibly brighter and smoother.
