The new glitter

sparkle and shimmer again. From pimped-up denim to super-sized sequins, here are the runway’s biggest styling tips

for a dose of cool glamour.

1.

GO BIG

Do like the Miu Miu

woman and embrace saucersized paillettes, or go for big prints embellished with crystals like the Gucci muse. The world is your stage.

2.

JAZZ UP YOUR

JEANS

Yes, bedazzled denim is happening. Thank you, Isabel Marant. Double up on the look with an embellished jacket.

3.

Michael Jackson and David Bowie with socks and boots that shine. On the runways, no accessory escaped the glitter game.
