I did mention "within the boundaries of Islam" and that means for a woman and a man covering what is obligated of our awrah. This is understood and I have in the past posted many hadiths on hijab and niqaab, and what is obligatory and what is more rewarding.
Once again the Prophet did beautify himself and even women are not only permitted but obligated to beautify themselves BUT in the manner pleasing to Allah.
You can for example have a nicely taylored jilbab and good quality shoes and this is not haram.
And when you are with your husband, or family(maharam) or even female buddies you can wear beautiful clothes, make up etc, this is all allowed provided you don't habour pride and pomp. And this is what I meant. Because fashion and beauty is not haram it's how you follow it that can make it so.
