Welcome to Refinery29 Loves, the monthly news bulletin where you’ll find our editor-approved lineup of the best to shop and see in fashion and beauty right now.
Following the last six months of industry musical chairs, another wave took place in March when it was announced that three major fashion houses were undergoing changes: Demna leaving Balenciaga to become Gucci’s new artistic director, Donatella Versace stepping down as creative director of her namesake legacy brand and Jonathan Anderson leaving Loewe after 11 years at its helm.
But career changes weren’t the only headline-worthy fashion moments in March, with Paris Fashion Week providing plenty of moments that stopped the internet. Chappell Roan stepped straight from the 2025 Grammy Awards into the Rick Owens show wearing an alien-inspired, dotted face paint look complete with white contacts. Doechii made her fashion week debut with a gravity-defying blowdry at Schiaparelli, not to mention a frosted green eyeshadow look and black-lined lips for the Acne FROW. Plus, Gigi Hadid made a case for the “silver tequila” bob at the Le Grand Dîner du Louvre.
For those on the hunt for even more fashion and beauty inspiration, you’ll be glad to know that April has a slew of exciting releases, launches and products heading your way. Read ahead to take a look at all the best fashion and beauty bits coming this month.

Reformation x Devon Lee Carlson
Following drops with Laura Harrier and Camille Rowe, Reformation is back with another It Girl collaboration. This time, the brand tapped Devon Lee Carlson to design the new collection. The standout looks of the 20-piece collection include a chocolate polka dot mini dress, a ’90s-inspired sky blue co-ord complete with a matching neck scarf and a backless black lace knit dress — all made using materials like organic cotton and deadstock fabrics.

The Ordinary Multi-Antioxidant Radiance Serum
Antioxidants (think vitamin C) can offer a neutralising and protective effect against free radicals like UV and pollution, keeping skin bright, bouncy and smooth. But while one antioxidant is a great start, The Ordinary is now bringing eight key antioxidant ingredients together in its new Multi-Antioxidant Radiance Serum. Here’s why it’s beneficial: Our skin is consistently exposed to the aforementioned environmental aggressors, and these free radicals build up and lead to fine lines, dullness and uneven skin tone. This serum works hard to prevent that from happening — and our beauty director is already a big fan.

Barbour x Crocs
Barbour might be best known for being a favourite of the British Royal Family, but this spring, the heritage label is stepping into a more casual territory, announcing a collaboration with functional footwear brand Crocs. The limited-edition collection contains a wax jacket, two footwear styles and nine Jibbitz charms, bringing together the playfulness of Crocs and the practicality of Barbour. The most exciting pieces are the Wellington Boot and the Classic Clog, both available in a tartan graphic print. Festival season, here we come.

Dyson Supersonic r™ hair dryer in Ceramic Pink
The beauty world stood still in 2016 when Dyson brought out its first ergonomic hair dryer. Since then, the tech giant has dominated the hair space with the Coralle straightener and the highly coveted Airwrap multi-styler. Recently, the company announced that its professional Supersonic r™ hair dryer will soon be available to the public, having previously only been exclusive to salons and hairstylists. To mark the occasion, you can buy the curve-nozzled dryer in a pearly pink colourway (with a purple gemstone shade available in the summer). The Supersonic r™ is Dyson’s lightest and most powerful hairdryer, offering easier maneuverability in comparison to the original model, as well as specific attachments for straight, wavy, curly and coily hair types.

SANDRO x Louise Bourgeois
For the artistic among us, the announcement of Sandro’s latest collection will be joyous news to the ears. Taking inspiration from French-American artist Louise Bourgeois, the spring collection features geometric patterns. In particular, spirals feature heavily in the collection, inspired in part by the artist’s famous
“Spider” sculpture. Boasting Mediterranean blues and oat milk neutrals, the collection features linen dresses, silky trousers and cotton poplin trousers — a perfect spring wardrobe.

Sol de Janeiro Limited-Edition Perfume Mist Collection
If you ask us, a new season calls for a new scent. Luckily, Sol de Janeiro is launching three fragrances this month, each with its own distinct Powerpuff Girl-esque personality. Flor Mística is spring in a bottle, thanks to notes of orange blossom, flamingo flower and Brazilian gardenia. Água Mística is for fans of something fresh, with notes of neroli water, salty skin and tangerine, while Dança Mística is made for the dancefloor, with hints of purple fig, warm vanilla, sandalwood and lily of the valley. Plus, the set comes with a ‘Scent Menu’ — tips on how to layer the fragrances to create your own unique combination.

Magda Butrym x H&M
Each H&M designer collaboration is an anticipated event. Whether you’ve previously recurred a pair of Simone Rocha beaded drop earrings or a corseted Mugler dress, the collaborations offer a chance to enter the world of luxury at a much sweeter price point. For the latest collection, the Swedish giant has turned to Polish designer Magda Butrym, who has dubbed the 19-piece collection a “celebration of femininity in bloom.” From denim bustiers with 3D rose adornments to shimmering gowns with glittering floral embellishments, this collection is made for spring soirees.

Colorwow Texas Hold’em Big Hold Hairspray
Colorwow’s Texas Hold’em Hairspray is a perfect paradox — it delivers a strong hold yet feels like the lightest hairspray you’ve ever tried. It kept our beauty director’s waves intact throughout an entire day, an eight-hour night flight, and a lengthy layover in an airport, making it feel almost a shame to wash out. Even better? It offers additional heat and UV protection, shields against frizz-inducing humidity and brushes out with ease, leaving hair feeling soft and silky, not crispy or chalky.

Jones Road Just Enough Tinted Moisturiser
(EMBARGO do not turn on slide)
Summer is coming, and that means switching up our coverage in favour of something more warm-weather appropriate. Jones Road (created by infamous makeup artist Bobbi Brown) is on the case with the launch of the new Just Enough Tinted Moisturiser. Designed to conceal redness and even out the skin tone with light coverage, this product is ideal for those who don’t like to wear a lot of makeup. The silky formula minimises the appearance of redness and hyperpigmentation without a mask-like finish and provides just enough tint for minimal makeup days.
