Chanel Cruise 2017, Havana, Cuba

From hot 'n' steamy high-fashion moments in Cuba to too-hot-to-handle style comebacks happening across the UK—not to mention the all-out madness of the Met Ball—you could say there's been quite a bit of action this week. If you've been nursing a hangover since the bank holiday or have just been too darn hectic catching up on a four-day week, then here's your bite-sized low-down. Keep reading to check out the key pieces of style news we're talking about now…

Cuba got even cooler! In the heart of Havana, Karl Lagerfeld transported the fashion crowds for the Chanel Cruise 2017 show. Models danced, editors danced, everybody danced! And many watched on and wondered when they could pick up one of those summer trilbies. We spy an accessory trend on the rise.

The Met Gala confirmed a few things. Firstly that see-through dresses aren't going anywhere. But also that you can make an eco-statement look highly glamorous—see how Emma Watson did just that.

We peeked into a French fashion insider's beauty regimen. Our pals over at Byrdie UK tapped Vestiaire Collective's founder, Fanny Moizant, for her life in beauty. Cue lots of chic but laid-back makeup bag finds.

Lena Dunham made the cutest bridesmaid! Uptight brides won't believe the shoe choice she was allowed to make for her best friend Audrey Gelman's nuptials.

The fashion team took a moment to analyse the most unexpected street style trends of 2016 so far, and we also discovered this one item was selling out everywhere. Clue: You last worn one in the '00s with Uggs and a pashmina. 

Catwoman had a mini style moment thanks to Gisele and Alexa. Intrigued? You should be.

So there you have it. A few choice pieces of intel you can repeat to your brunch friends!
