Pay homage to the memory of iconic star Elizabeth Taylor by emulating her classic, glamorous fashion sense. Whether you’re dressed to the nines or relaxing poolside, think 1950s-inspired nipped-waist silhouettes that show off an hourglass shape, with ample décolletage as your best accessory. Add some drama to your makeup routine with bold liquid liner: a nod to her title role in the cinematic spectacle Cleopatra. Turn a bad hair day into a chance to channel Taylor’s 60s signature turban with a turban-inspired headband. If there’s one type of accessory Elizabeth Taylor was known for, it’s diamonds. Whether they’re real or faux, a girl’s got to sparkle.

We’ve known for a while that matchy-matchy is passé in the fashion world. Designers took it a step further this season though by combining unexpected prints for a playful, fun take on Spring patterns. At first glance the unlikely combinations may strike you as a stylist’s handiwork gone terribly wrong. Polka dots with stripes you say? Florals and animal print? Never fear, there is a method to the madness. Rocking this look without appearing like you got dressed in the dark is all about size and colour. By keeping the different prints in the same colour palette and roughly the same size you will avoid clashing. Also make sure that your accessories are in solid neutrals to avoid any added distraction. This trend is not for the faint of heart, but fashion is all about experimentation, so go ahead and give it a try. We dare you.
