Fashion is always cyclical, and what was once popular can return to the top of the fashion charts again. In 2024, we see the revival of some old trends that have become relevant and in demand again. Here are five things that are back in fashion and worth adding to your wardrobe.

1. Wide-leg jeans
Wide-leg jeans from the 90s and early 2000s are back in fashion. They are comfortable, stylish and perfectly combined with various elements of the wardrobe. These jeans can be worn with sneakers and T-shirts for a casual look, as well as with heels and blouses to create a more elegant outfit. Wide-leg jeans give an image of relaxation and ease, which makes them an ideal choice for any occasion.

2. Platforms
Platform shoes once again occupy an important place in fashion collections. Whether it’s sandals, boots or sneakers, platforms add expressiveness to the image and visually lengthen the legs. This trend has returned from the 70s and 90s, and modern designers offer a variety of options that are suitable for both everyday wear and special occasions.

3. Vintage bags
Vintage-style bags are back in fashion. Classic models from famous brands such as Chanel, Gucci and Louis Vuitton have become the object of many fashionistas’ desires. These bags not only add charm and elegance to the image, but are also an excellent investment accessory. Vintage bags can be worn with any outfit, from casual to evening, adding a touch of luxury and history.

Sneakers have long occupied an important place in the wardrobes of many people, but fashion does not stand still, and new trends are replacing old ones. In 2024, there are several reasons why you should think about giving up sneakers in favor of more stylish and modern shoe options. Here are three fashionable reasons why it’s time to say goodbye to sneakers.

1. The evolution of sports style
Sneakers have long been a symbol of sporty style, but modern trends offer more interesting and functional alternatives. In 2024, innovative sneakers with unique designs and advanced technologies are at the top of the fashion charts. These models not only look stylish, but also provide comfort and support, surpassing traditional sneakers in all respects. High-tech materials and unique designs make the new sneakers an ideal choice for an active lifestyle.

2. The return of the classics
This year there is a resurgence of classic shoe styles that offer elegance and sophistication. Loafers, oxfords and derbies are returning to fashion, taking pride of place in the wardrobes of fashionistas and fashionistas. These shoe models are easily combined with different styles of clothing and give the image a finished and refined look. Switching from sneakers to classic shoes will help you create a more mature and elegant look suitable for various situations, from everyday to business.

Fashion is constantly changing, and what was popular yesterday may turn out to be the anti-trend today. In 2024, designers and stylists propose to abandon some outdated trends in favor of more modern and stylish solutions. Here are five anti-trends that should be excluded from your wardrobe this year.

1. Logomania
If in previous years logomania — things with large, catchy logos — was at the peak of popularity, then in 2024 this trend has lost its relevance. The excess of logos makes the image overloaded and unnatural. Instead, pay attention to minimalistic and restrained designs that look elegant and stylish without excessive brand advertising.

2. Oversize in everything
Oversize remains popular, but full immersion in this trend is no longer in fashion. The combination of oversize items with other oversize elements creates a shapeless and sloppy image. In 2024, it is better to combine bulky things with more form-fitting ones in order to maintain balance and proportions in the outfit. For example, an oversize sweater can be combined with skinny jeans or a pencil skirt.

A straw hat is a stylish and practical accessory that perfectly protects from the sun and adds lightness and grace to the image. It is ideal for summer walks and travel. Here are five places where you can go in a straw hat and feel comfortable and fashionable.

1. The beach
The first place that comes to mind when mentioning a straw hat is, of course, the beach. It will not only protect your head from the scorching sun, but also add charm to your beach image. Combine a hat with a swimsuit, pareo or a light dress to look stylish and feel comfortable.

2. The Park
A picnic in the park is a great pastime, and a straw hat will be the perfect addition to your outfit. Wear a hat with a light summer dress or shorts and a T-shirt to create a casual and comfortable look. Do not forget to bring a blanket and a basket of snacks for a good outdoor recreation.

A cardigan is a versatile wardrobe item that can be combined with a variety of styles and outfits. This comfortable and stylish piece of clothing will help you create both casual and elegant looks. Here are five ideas on how to wear a cardigan to look fashionable and attractive.

1. Combination with a basic T-shirt and jeans
The easiest and most convenient way to wear a cardigan is to throw it over a basic T—shirt and jeans. This casual look is perfect for walking around the city, going to cafes or meeting friends. Complete the look with sneakers or boots, and you are ready for any business.

2. Cardigan and dress
A cardigan can be easily combined with a dress to create a more feminine and romantic look. Try wearing a cardigan over a light summer dress or a more dense autumn version. Add a belt to accentuate the waist, and complete the look with boots or heeled shoes.

There are many unbearable moments in “The Greatest Love Story Never Told”, the documentary about the filming of “This Is Me… Now”, the 2024 musical film about Jennifer Lopez’s last self-titled album about her reunion with her historical love and fourth husband, Ben Affleck. But what follows is one of the worst.

After expressing her anxiety about the reluctance of other actors to star in the film, Lopez brings up her spouse. “I don’t think he’s very comfortable with me doing all this,” she explains to her manager, Benny Medina. “But he loves me, he knows I’m an artist and he’s going to support me in any way he can….. He can’t stop me.”

Immediately, Affleck, after making some empathetic comments, reflects: “I’ve always thought that things that are private are sacred and special… partly because they are private… So this was kind of an adaptation for me.” It’s the Chekhov pistol of ready-made phrases.

The couple’s first romance failed in 2003 under the weight of media attention, just days before their wedding. Now, with an album, a film and a documentary about the second round of the relationship, López has invited that scrutiny again, despite the obvious reluctance of her beloved. In the context of the breakup rumors that have surfaced in the last week, it seems like a catastrophic error of judgment.

Emma Stone won her second Oscar in less than ten years and joined a very exclusive club of actors who have won more than one Academy statuette, but she still has a long way to go if she wants to break the record.

The American actress had won in 2017 for “La La Land” and this year she took the award for her starring role in “Poor Things”.

Only a few have more Oscars than Emma Stone: Katharine Hepburn (4), Meryl Streep (3), Jack Nicholson (3), Ingrid Bergman (3), Daniel Day-Lewis (3), Frances McDormand (3) and Walter Brennan (3).

Stone joins legends such as Bette Davis, Jane Fonda and Elizabeth Taylor in the group of women who won two Oscars for best leading actress.

“Oppenheimer”, which won seven awards, remains one of the multi-winning films, although it does not enter the top of the productions with the most awards.

The best director award at the Oscars this year was perhaps one of the least surprising in decades and was taken for granted from the beginning — and the course — of the awards season: Christopher Nolan took the Academy Award, the Golden Globe, the Bafta, the Critics Choice, the Directors Guild and many others in a year dominated by his film “Oppenheimer”.

Nolan is a singular case: he built a name in commercial cinema with films considered auteur and critically acclaimed, reinvented the superhero genre (with Batman’s Dark Knight trilogy) with immensely popular commercial films leaving his own stamp and has created a cinematic style in high-budget productions with complex temporal structures that cross the lines of science fiction (such as Interstellar, Inception and Tenet) and history (such as Dunkirk and Oppenheimer) from unique angles.

The British-American director, who writes all his films, has also teamed up perfectly with his wife Emma Thomas to produce the films.

Anyone for a red or blue pill?

The celebrated ‘Matrix’ film franchise is set to expand with an upcoming fifth instalment. The film’s original co-writer and co-director, Lana Wachowski, will be at the helm as executive producer.

According to a press release from film studio Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group sent out Wednesday, Oscar-nominated screenwriter Drew Goddard will write and direct the film with his producing partner, Sarah Esberg. (Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group is part of the same parent company as CNN, Warner Bros. Discovery).

Jesse Ehrman, president of production at Warner Bros. Motion Pictures, said in a statement Wednesday that Goddard ‘came to Warner Bros. with a new idea that we all believe will be an incredible way to continue the Matrix world, honouring what Lana and Lilly (Wachowski) started more than 25 years ago, and offering a unique perspective based on his own love of the series and the characters’.

Details about the plot and cast have not yet been released. It is also not known if ‘Matrix’ franchise star Keanu Reeves will return as his iconic character Neo.

A representative for Reeves did not respond to CNN’s request for comment on the new project.
