15 Reasons You Should Be Following Copenhagen Fashion Week

Forget French and Italian girl style (well, don’t forget it altogether) — stylish Scandinavians are the ones to follow. But while the fashion world is totally fixated on what goes down in NYC, London, Paris and Milan, Copenhagen Fashion Week largely flies under the radar. That said, the street style is certainly a force to be reckoned with — the cobblestone streets of the Danish capital are jam-packed with plenty of real-deal outfit inspiration that would make any fashion enthusiast or It-girl in training straight-up swoon. So what sets Scandi style apart? The lack of eye-roll-inducing peacocking, for starters. But really, the getups are incredibly effortless and down to earth. Closet basics like classic white shirts and essential denim are styled alongside statement sneakers and suiting, and ah-mazing accessories are used intelligently to elevate otherwise understated ensembles. Basically, CPHFW is a fine example of sartorial balance — something you won’t always find at the more mainstream fashion weeks. To give you a taste of what you’ve been missing, we’ve pulled some of our favorite looks straight from Copenhagen’s stylish streets. Scroll on for 15 swoon-inducing looks you’ll want to rock all season long.

1. Sheer Skirts and Cozy Cardigans: Never underestimate the power of a few hard-hitting closet basics. This getup is a bonafide sartorial powerhouse with its impeccable mix of off-duty essentials and show-stopping statement pieces. The unexpected mix tones down the skirt’s scandalous vibe, creating the ultimate balance of high and low.

2. Laid-Back Suiting: Proving that suiting doesn’t have to be stuffy, Tine Andrea went bold in the color department with a vibrant shade of cobalt blue, then jazzed things up with a graphic tee and sneakers for a getup that exudes effortless cool. Your new on-the-clock signature? We’re thinking yes.

3. Leather Slip Dress and Bell-Sleeved Top: A ’70s-inspired twist on a ’90s style staple? Yes, please! A bell-sleeve top and leather slip dress unite for an It-girl-approved ensemble that’s just as edgy as it is effortless. Throw in a bright crossbody bag and signature shades for good measure.

4. Pajama Dressing: We’re down with any outfit that boasts this much roll-out-of-bed-and-go appeal. Pajama separates look straight-up chic when dressed up with of-the-moment heels, elegant baubles and a timeless structured bag. Bring it.

5. Graphic Sweatshirt and Skirt: Comfortably cool is what you’ll be demanding of all your ensembles after giving this sports chic outfit a once over. Classic sneakers and a graphic sweat bring a street-chic edge to a flowy printed skirt, ensuring you get even more wear out of your dressier duds. For extra style points, team the athleisure-inspired ensemble with a ladylike bag and wind-tousled locks.

6. Rib Knit Top and Trousers: If this bold and bright #OOTD is any indication, sweater dressing is about to step up its style game a good five notches. A rib knit zip top and corresponding belted trousers are probably the sneakiest and most stylish alternative to rockin’ sweats outside the house. Tone down the throw-on-and-go vibe with elevated accessories, like embroidered heels and a statement bag.

7. Statement Striped Duster Jacket: Have a printed coat, will proceed to pull it out for every occasion. Whether you’re zipping around town on a set of vintage wheels or schmoozing with the best of them at a networking event, a statement topper will always do you right. Toss it over a structured shirt dress or a pair of boyfriend jeans for a next-level outfit that requires almost zero effort.

8. Oversized Button-Down Shirt and Cropped Flares: Any outfit that can pull double duty like a pro is a winner in our book, and this minimalist getup doesn’t disappoint. With a sleeveless blazer in tow, this button-down and cropped flares combo nails the concept of on-the-clock chic. It segues seamlessly into after-hours territory with a simple untuck and tousling of tresses. Throw in a studded clutch and you’re golden.

9. Maxi Dress and Slides: If one-and-done dressing is your signature move, this two-second ensemble will feel right on cue. Toss on a printed maxi dress and a pair of embellished slides, and you’re ready to hit the ground running. For max perfection, style alongside a statement belt and an oversized clutch with plenty of room to stash your everyday essentials.

10. Hoodie and Leather Pinafore Dress: Been wondering just how to give your tried-and-true hoodie a bit of extra panache? Take a note from Linda Tol and rock it under a statement dress (we’re partial to this luxe leather number) for an unexpected #OOTD that’s straight-up sass, especially when there’s a pair of red-hot ankle boots thrown into the mix. Now this is athleisure at its finest.

11. Color-Coordinated Prints: Doing the mixing and matching thing doesn’t have to mean going crazy with color. Follow Darja Barannik’s lead and opt for timeless prints (think: Breton stripes, plaid and animal print) and neutral tones to create a classy-yet-intriguing look that nails it every single time. Bonus points for classic silhouettes with working-girl appeal and pointed-toe steppers that mean business.

12. Over-the-Knee Boots and Band Tee: Badass doesn’t even begin to cover it. When the temps take a dip, rethink your approach to layering by swapping out a lightweight sweater for a band tee with major ‘tude. Toss the oversized topper over a flirty swing dress for a touch of cool contrast that nobody will see coming. In the footwear department, go for a more-is-more look, stepping into a pair of suede over-the-knee boots that provide plenty of coverage and personality.

13. Embellished Leather Jacket and Patchwork Skirt: Bohemian babe and rock goddess aesthetics combine for a wear-anywhere ensemble perfect for GNO or a casual indie concert at your favorite local spot. Glam it up with a sleek topknot, smokey eye and statement cuff.

14. Double Denim: The double denim trend is still alive and kickin’, as evidenced on Copenhagen’s cobblestone streets. To avoid a questionable Canadian-tuxedo aesthetic, opt for updates on classic silhouettes, then take your look to the next level with court shoes and modern minimalist jewelry.

15. Bohemian Maxi Dresses: Copenhagen Fashion Week is all about keepin’ it real, and Marie Hindkær Wolthers and Fiona Jane perfectly embodied that concept. Armed with everyday maxi dresses and boxy crossbody bags, their low-key looks feel effortlessly chic.

I always get excited when I think about how many celebrity couples we don't know about yet. Glen Powell & Lily James generated some buzz when they hopped into a car together ahead of the BAFTAs, and Outer Banks star Madelyn Cline & Austin Butler (yes, Elvis himself) were just spotted out and about together. Let's dive in, shall we?

Here's everything we know about those Madelyn Cline & Austin Butler dating rumors.

Madelyn Cline & Austin Butler were allegedly spotted grabbing a meal.

"Seriously just saw Madelyn Cline and Austin Butler" at a celebrity-frequented restaurant in Los Angeles, a DeuxMoi source said at the end of January. One Instagram user commented that since Madelyn and Austin's exes (Pete Davidson and Kaia Gerber) are exes, "dating in Hollywood is 3 degrees of separation."

However, according to another DeuxMoi source, fans have been paying attention to Madelyn's Instagram activity. The actress previously dated her Outer Banks costar Chase Stokes, and has allegedly been liking posts about "the one that got away," and even posted on her Instagram story that she deserves happiness.

"The timing of Chase's relationship doing so great and her having a string of failed relationships, people are just assuming she's crashing out," the second source continues. Yikes, y'all.

I think it's so fascinating how fans allegedly jump to the conclusion that Madelyn is crashing out, and assume Austin (who is also recently single) is totally fine post-breakup. Listen, a girl can go on a few dates without spiraling, dating really doesn't have to be that serious. It's supposed to be fun!

It's also totally in the realm of possibility that they were having a business meeting. For now, we don't really know. But what I do know? Madelyn Cline and Austin Butler would make a cute couple, and even if they don't end up in a relationship, a delicious dinner and maybe a smooch or two never hurt anybody ;).

Stay tuned for more news on these Madelyn Cline & Austin Butler dating rumors, and while we're on all things lovey-dovey, check out the latest news on Madelyn Cline's New Romance The Map That Leads To You.

Not only is Blake Lively speaking out about the "sexist" commentary on her legal battle with Justin Baldoni, she's also enlisting the help of...the CIA? Yes, you read that right. The actress just recruited an ex-CIA advisor to help with her case ahead of the March 2026 trial. Wow.

Here's what we know about Blake Lively's latest move in her legal battle with Justin Baldoni.

Blake Lively just involved an ex-CIA advisor in her case.

Blake Lively has enlisted Nick Shapiro, former CIA deputy chief of staff and senior advisor John Brennan (the former director), to help with her case, according to Page Six and Variety.

“The litigation team for Ms. Lively retained Mr. Shapiro to advise on the legal communications strategy for the ongoing sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit occurring in the Southern District of New York,” Blake Lively's lawyers said in a statement.

This proves more than anything else that Blake is taking the trial really seriously because this is a major move on her part.

Recently, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni actually agreed on something when they spoke out against the "violent" messages Blake and her loved ones have been receiving.

Blake's legal team requested a stronger protection order (PO), considering Blake, "her family, other members of the cast, various fact witnesses, and individuals that have spoken out publicly in support of Ms. Lively have received violent, profane, sexist, and threatening communications" (as the request states), "good cause exists for the Court to adopt the Proposed PO."

And Justin's legal team went on the record, saying they "do not condone dangerous rhetoric targeted toward anyone no matter the situation. Anyone receiving violent messages by anonymous parties is abhorrent."

“When private parties were wrongfully accused by Lively and her paid team of wrongdoing, they received continuous death threats and visits to private homes where young children reside after their addresses were leaked on her initial complaints," they continue. "No one should have to face that, especially private parties who do not have means for security detail. We do not condone dangerous rhetoric targeted toward anyone no matter the situation.”

Stay tuned for more news on Blake Lively & Justin Baldoni's legal battle.
