  • Style Inspo: Donny Galella Solves Your Most Relatable Fashion Questions
    Mar 25 2026

    Autumn has officially arrived, and while the retailers are already dropping their winter collections, we’re stuck in that "is it cold or is it hot?" limbo. This week, Leigh is joined by the man who can make anyone feel like a million bucks without spending it: celebrity stylist Donny Galella.

    Donny is back to solve your most pressing seasonal fashion dilemmas. From how to look chic in a downpour (without looking like Dora the Explorer) to the "6 shoes" you need for a perfect capsule wardrobe, he’s sharing the realistic hacks he uses with his A-list clients.

    Plus, we’re talking about the death of the "Clean Girl" aesthetic and the rise of Maximalism, the viral "funnel neck" trend, and why you should never, ever trust your bathroom mirror.

    Donny's Splurge: Karen Millen Brushed Wool Funnel Neck Tailored Short Coat, $614.

    Donny's Mid-Range: MNG Wool Blend Funnel-Neck Coat, $219.95.

    Donny's Budget: Target Denim Funnel Neck Jacket, $50.

    Leigh’s Boujie: Dazie (via The Iconic) Vela Bomber Jacket, $119.95.

    Leigh’s Budget: Amazon Chunky Acrylic Knit Scarf.
