8693-05 001 I’ve been sounding the alarm on leggings for a while now. Back in December, I wrote about how chic women were already moving on, especially when heading to the airport. Now, even our red carpet queen, Zendaya, has made the case for pushing them out of the spotlight and to the back of our athleisure closets. Her first ever co-designed collection with On is centered around the new main characters of casual dressing: parachute pants, drawstring skirts, sporty windbreakers, and high-quality tank tops — not a single legging in sight. 8667-05 001 I got my hands on the pieces early, and I’ll be honest: I went in as a skeptic. Celebrity athletic collabs typically have a formula. You know it. I know it. Slap your name on something generic and call it a day. Zendaya apparently didn’t get the memo. The midi skirt alone changed how I think about getting dressed on a lazy morning. Paired with the ribbed tank and those viral Cloudnova Moon sneakers, it reads elevated without even trying. And when I want to add a little razzle to the sporty piece, it looks equally cool with my kitten heel flip-flops as well. The same goes for the parachute pants. The voluminous drama is versatile and feels sharp and thoughtful in a way that leggings could never. Paired with the anorak, these are the kind of pieces you throw on over everything and suddenly the whole outfit has an effortlessly chic point of view. 8683-06 001 No more looking like I might be going to the gym when I’m not. Just effortless sport mode vibes that come Zendaya- (and Law Roach-) approved. Leggings had a good run. This collection is at the center of what comes next. Like what you see?

I’ve watched The Devil Wears Prada at least once a year since it was released in 2006 — It’s like my religion except the only devil I acknowledge is Miranda Priestley. So, naturally, I was both ecstatic and skeptical when a sequel was announced. The dreaded “sequel curse” has cheapened some of our favorite romcoms like Mamma Mia!, Bridget Jones’s Diary, and My Big Fat Greek Wedding, especially when there are long gaps in between the original and the reboot. And with the 20-year gap between The Devil Wears Prada and its newly released sequel, it could have gone very wrong… but it didn’t. Thanks to the return of the core-four cast members — Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci — along with crew members from the original production and costume design teams, it managed to hold onto its charm and wit. The Devil Wears Prada 2 calls back to many of our favorite scenes, quotes, and outfits while being timely, reflecting the very real media and journalism crisis we’re facing today. So, despite all the early leaked paparazzi photos or the viral color grading issues (which has dimmed so many remakes, sequels, and nearly every Hulu show), the movie does deliver on nostalgia and makes a strong case for sequels being great. This is everything The Devil Wears Prada 2 got right. The Devil Wears Prada 2 spoilers ahead! The core cast is back, the new characters are fresh, and the cameos aren’t cheesy (L-R): Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) and Andie Sachs (Anne Hathaway) in 20th Century Studios’ THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2. Photo by Macall Polay. © 2025 20th Century Studios. All Rights Reserved. In the sequel, we find Miranda Priestly (Streep) and Nigel Kipling (Tucci) in similar spirits and roles at Runway magazine. The editor-in-chief is still forthright and hilariously un-politically correct. Meanwhile, Emily Charlton (Blunt) has surprisingly left the fashion publication, now running luxury retail marketing for Dior. And 20 years after Andy Sachs (Hathaway) quit Runway, we see her living out her dream as a successful journalist at the New York Vanguard newsroom… that is before things take a turn. In addition to Andy’s best friend Lily (Tracie Thoms) returning to the sequel, there’s a host of new characters. From Miranda’s assistants Amari (Simone Ashley) and Charlie (Caleb Hearon) to Andy’s new assistant Jin (Helen Shen), there’s a younger, but not-too-woke set of employees that reflect today’s knowledgeable and scrappy fashion scene, without being as demeaning as Emly. Plus, there’s a new love interest who isn’t absolutely horrible like Nate was! We also get some new big-name actors like Lucy Liu as wealthy philanthropist Sasha and Justin Theroux as her grimy ex-husband Benji. But my absolute delight was spotting all the half-second cameos from today’s most viral personalities (Paige DeSorbo, Amelia Dimoldenberg) and supermodels (Heidi Klum, Ashley Graham), plus plot points with iconic designers (Donatella Versace, Marc Jacobs). And of course, as it was leaked beforehand, Lady Gaga makes a cameo as herself, and her performance doesn’t disappoint. The plotline portrays today’s media crisis very, very accurately (L-R) Anne Hathaway as Andy Sachs, Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly and Stanley Tucci as Nigel Kipling in 20th Century Studios’ THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2. Photo by Macall Polay. © 2026 20th Century Studios. All Rights Reserved. Right off the bat, we’re brought into the reality of the media industry today, and it truly made me cringe at how accurate and close-to-home it was. Andy gets fired from her publication… just moments before winning an award, then makes an impassioned speech pleading that: “Journalism still fucking matters.” Meanwhile, Miranda is facing the media world’s real-life shifts, like legacy magazines being sold as traditional print shifts to digital and readership declining (because as Nigel puts it, Runway‘s not a real magazine anymore), plus budget cuts and a lack of advertising money. One of the hurdles that needs to be overcome by the characters is how readers are craving ethical fashion brands and demanding credible journalism and in-depth storytelling, which makes Andy’s new Features Editor role critical for bringing substance back to Runway. Some more on-the-nose plot points consist of Miranda being up for a promotion as Global Head of Content of Elias-Clark (much like how Anna Wintour was recently promoted to Chief Content Officer for Condé Nast, no matter how much Streep doesn’t like to admit that she’s playing a caricature of the media mogul). And throughout the movie, more and more conflicts arise, reminding us just how fleeting and chaotic the industry is. Andy goes begrudgingly from Paris Fashion Week → excitedly to Milan Fashion Week As we all know, Andy goes to Paris in the first movie, basically against her will, to the detriment of Emily, and leading to a job-ending moment. And while we don’t see too much of the fashion spectacles in Paris, a new fashion capitol gets the spotlight in the sequel. This time around, Andy finds herself at Milan Fashion Week in better spirits, despite the Runway obstacles she’s facing, and shows out in bold looks. (Yes, we get a fashion montage of her and Miranda’s many front-row outfits.) But Milan, which is known as one of the more experimental Fashion Weeks, almost becomes a main character in this movie, highlighting monuments and fashion houses and delightfully sprinkling some Italian conversations into the storyline. Yes, there are callbacks to all our favorite scenes, quotes, and fashion moments Speaking of fashion montages, The Devil Wears Prada 2 delivers on all the nostalgic references we wanted, from Nigel’s fashion closet makeover — what was once Dolce & Gabbana and Jimmy Choo is now Fendi and Toteme — to Andy’s collection of work outfits when entering the Runway offices. There are also several scenes and callbacks that parallel the first movie and made me giddy, from a reference to Cerulean blue belts, Nigel and Andy eating in the cafeteria, and Miranda’s work coat collection — though this time, HR complaints have halted the editor-in-chief from chucking them onto her assistants desks. You can be sure that iconic lines like “A million girls would kill for this job” and “That’s all” get said once or twice too. Plus, there are some new one-liners that are sure to become insanely quotable, like: “Look what TJ Maxx dragged in” and “May the bridges I burn light my way.” The fashion and outfits make a case for becoming just as iconic as the first movie One of the main reasons we love The Devil Wears Prada is rightfully because of the fashion, no matter how absurd it can sometimes be. And costume designer Molly Rogers supplied tons of looks that we’ll want to replicate (either at the office or for Halloween). Andy has luckily found her sense of style after becoming a big thrift-shopper, finding statement pieces like an $11 Margiela jacket that Nigel actually approves of, and that she can afford on a journalist’s salary. There are references to the iconic Chanel thigh-high boots (which she gave away, gasp!), plus there’s even an appearance from the Cerulean sweater (keep your eyes peeled!). But today, Andy regularly opts for monochromatic suits or matching sets, sleek jumpsuits, lots of plaid, and (so many) skinny ties for everything from the office to the runways. And her wardrobe may just turn her into a modern style icon all over again. What surprised me is that there feels like there’s twice as many outfits in this movie — so many that a few were cut from the final edit, like Hathaway’s proclaimed favorite, an white T-shirt train outfit, and Rogers’ favorite, which she tells Refinery29 was a dramatic black gown worn by Emily in a cut scene. There truly are so many blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments that did make it in though, that you’ll want to watch the movie multiple times to spot all the great fashion. The soundtrack blends nostalgic tunes with hits from today’s biggest It girls Doechii, Lady Gaga at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards held at the Dolby Theatre on March 17, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Christoper Polk/Variety via Getty Images) Music played such a big role in the first movie with songs like “Vogue” and “Suddenly I See” becoming synonymous with specific scenes in the larger cultural zeitgeist. And the sequel does an incredible job of bringing back some of the originals, while introducing a soundtrack of today’s biggest (and newest) artists. I found myself bopping along to hits from Dua Lipa, Olivia Dean, Raye, Miley Cyrus, Laufey, and SZA, as well as original songs from up-and-comer Sienna Spiro plus Doechii and Lady Gaga. The duo’s song “Runway” is an instant hit — it’s been been stuck in my head since it was released — and backs a fun, fashion-filled scene that brings so much energy into the movie.

All Rights Reserved. I truly don’t want to spoil the big plot twists of the movie because the gasps that myself and the audience made as it all unfolded were great in-person movie theater moments. But let’s just say someone needed to replace Andy’s former boyfriend Nate as the biggest villain. The catty and competitive natures of the fashion and media industries doesn’t go untouched, with plenty of drama to take us from start to finish. And so when the credits started rolling, I found myself letting out a literal sigh of relief. I didn’t hate it. I actually really liked it. I wanted to talk to my friends and family about it. And I immediately bought my tickets to see it in the theater again. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Refinery29 (@refinery29) Like what you see?

Let’s be real: The pressure to have it all together is beyond exhausting. Whether it’s the curated perfection of our IG feeds or the relentless hustle of our 9-to-5s, it feels like we’re constantly bombarded with messages to keep everything neatly tucked in. But Adwoa Aboah and the pointelle queens at Cou Cou are giving us permission to fall apart. In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, the duo has dropped a limited-edition Out of Order tee that is essentially a middle finger to perfection. It’s cute, cuddly-soft, and — our favorite part — a fashion moment with a purpose. All of the profits go directly to Gurls Talk, Aboah’s nonprofit powerhouse that provides resources for the mental well-being of young women and adolescent girls. This isn’t just a “buy a shirt, feel good” moment. The collab includes a series of Cou Cou Talks. Aboah will join Taiba Akhuetie, Janet Anderson, Missy Dabice, and Becky Akinyode for a series of chats that lean into the kind of radical vulnerability we actually need right now. All-in-all, reinforcing the fact that there’s no one right way to navigate through the complexities of life. The limited-edition tee will be available on Cou Cou’s website and at Dover Street London starting April 30, and at Rose Bakery beginning May 16. If you’re searching for a way to support the cause (and look iconic while doing it), this is your sign. More From Cou Cou Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?

While it may feel like spring just started, summer will be here before you know it — and with it comes the season’s official uniform: swimsuits. But gone are the days when we settle for uncomfortable silhouettes that pinch, ride, and pull. Instead, I’m turning to Amazon, where hundreds of flattering one-pieces and bikinis are up for grabs. But I know how daunting swimwear shopping can be. To make things easier, I streamlined the process and narrowed it down to 18 must-have silhouettes, including one-shoulder finds, swim skirts, ruffled hemlines, and barely-there styles. Each one stands out thanks to rave reviews, impeccable fits, and eye-catching design details, making it easy to secure one (or two, or three) unbeatable swimsuits. But most impressively, all swimmies start at just $28, including brands like Kate Spade, Michael Kors, and Norma Kamali. Sultry two-pieces are perfect for resort pool parties, while flirty floral one-pieces were made for family-friendly occasions. Meanwhile, genius bandeau separates can double as clothing depending on where you are (think: beach towns, coastal boardwalks, and cruise days). There’s something for every aesthetic, as well. Bring the drama in an Ulla Johnson silhouette, boasting a flounced strap and burnt orange hue. Or, you can keep things simple wearing Amazon's best-selling one-piece swimsuit in a dreamy white color perfect for bridal parties. But for the ultimate waist-cinching effect, reach for the Miraclesuit twist-top design I can’t stop thinking about. Ahead, discover more must-have Amazon swimsuits.

Throughout the year, a few red carpets capture our attention, but there’s only one that has us talking for days afterwards. Of course, we’re talking about the Met Gala. Hosted at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, the Met Gala is the most exciting day on the fashion calendar and never fails to have everyone embrace their inner fashion critic. The theme is different every year, and changes according to the museum’s spring exhibition. The Met Gala red carpet is an opportunity for designers and attendees alike to take real chances with their fashion, crafting true show-stoppers that get everyone talking. When it comes to the Met Gala, bigger is always better. Ahead, we answer all the questions you might have about this year’s gala, including what this year’s theme is (and what it means for the fashion), as well as where to watch it and who will be attending. When Is The 2026 Met Gala? The Met Gala always takes place on the first Monday in May, which is May 4 this year. Red carpet arrivals will probably begin around 6 p.m. ET. What Is The 2026 Met Gala Theme? The 2026 Met Gala theme typically aligns with the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s spring exhibition for that year. That exhibition was announced on Monday, November 17, 2025, to be “Costume Art”. Described by the museum as being around “the centrality of the dressed body in the museum’s vast collection”, expect guests to wear haute couture creations inspired by this theme. The dress code is slightly different, described as “fashion is art.” The exhibition about the dressed body is to show the significance of the body, and how it cannot be separated from the clothes we wear. There are different themes, including the Naked Body, Classical Body, Pregnant Body and the Aging Body. We predict that some fashion houses will also draw from these characteristics when dressing their talent for the 2026 Met Gala, too. We may see interesting silhouettes and bold moves. “What connects every curatorial department and what connects every single gallery in the museum is fashion, or the dressed body,” Andrew Bolton told Vogue about the theme. “It’s the common thread throughout the whole museum, which is really what the initial idea for the exhibition was.” Who Hosts The Met Gala? Since 1995, the Met Gala has been hosted by Anna Wintour, Editor-in-Chief of American Vogue and Global Editorial Director of Condé Nast. This year, she has named Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams and Beyoncé as co-chairs for the event, with Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos as honorary chairs. This means they will officially welcome attendees to The Met on May 5. Who Is Attending The 2026 Met Gala? According to Vogue, the Met Gala typically has around 450 attendees, including the world’s biggest celebrities and many influential figures, such as politicians and the who’s who of the tech and creative industries. The red carpet guest list is usually kept top secret, and 2026 is no different. However, there are some celebrities who almost always make an appearance at the Met Gala, including Kendall Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga, Cardi B, Zendaya, and Rihanna. Some of our predictions for 2026? BLACKPINK’s Lisa, Super Bowl Halftime performer Bad Bunny, Hailey Bieber, Olivia Rodrigo and Ariana Grande. How Can I Watch The Met Gala Red Carpet? Though the specific details on how to watch the Met Gala red carpet in 2026 are yet to be released, it’s usually easiest to view via Vogue’s digital channels. Last year, the carpet was live-streamed on the Vogue website, and on the brand’s Instagram, TikTok, and X pages. For a curated view of the red carpet, you can also visit the Refinery29 homepage and Instagram, as we’ll be live posting the best looks from the day. Like what you see?

One of my New Year’s goals was to travel more — and, boy, am I making that happen. I have seven trips planned over the next six months, from California to Costa Rica. And while securing a plane ticket is arguably the most important step, finding functional travel outfits is a close second. While holiday escapes call for vibrant, billowy styles (think: ocean blues, blooming florals, and flirty ruffles), travel looks should also be practical. You have to think about your itinerary, factoring in sightseeing and long transit days alike. My solution? Easy, breathable dresses — and I found 15 unbeatable styles on Amazon. These one-and-done outfit formulas are perhaps the most versatile silhouettes you can pack, effortlessly taking you from the plane to dinner. Even a simple maxi dress can be styled with jelly sandals for a day at the beach, then worn again with sneakers for market browsing. If you swear by carry-on travel like I do (shoutout to my sleek Calpak Ambeur Luggage), you’ll be glad these dresses are lightweight, too. This isn’t just essential for seamless packing, but also helps combat sticky, hot weather depending on your destination. But that alone isn’t enough: I avoid ironing and steaming at all costs, preferring to spend my time gallery hopping or on a local food tour. Therefore, securing a few wrinkle-free dresses that instantly drape into place is nice to have. If the above sounds like your ideal jet-set wardrobe, then keep scrolling to discover the best Amazon travel dresses from $19. Fun minis, T-shirt dresses, and elevated silhouettes are included, practically ensuring they’ll be on heavy rotation from the airport lounge to the beach club.

Tarte Vinyl Drip Lip Gloss & Plump Liner "What won me over here is the incredible value. For $27, you’re getting two full-size Tarte lip products — a liner and a gloss — that retail for $23 and $27 individually. (No, that’s not a typo: In other words, it’s essentially like buying the gloss and getting the liner for free. Free!) I’ve tried the Maracuja Juicy Lip Liner before, and this version stands out for its subtle plumping effect, which is delivered via hydrating, line-filling peptides and hyaluronic acid. Like the original, it’s ultra-creamy and glides on like butter. I picked up Caramel, a warm nude that’s my everyday “my lips, but better” shade. As for the gloss, the twist-up brush applicator immediately reminded me of an old favorite (Stila Lip Glaze — IYKYK), but the formula feels decidedly more modern. It lands somewhere between a gloss and a lip oil — cushiony, lightweight, and completely non-sticky — with that high-shine, wet-look finish. I paired the liner with the shade Strawberry Milk, a soft rosy brown that pulls the whole look together. If you’ve been curious about either formula, this set makes trying both feel like a no-brainer. Consider the charms a cute bonus." — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer Tarte vinyl drip lip gloss & plump liner + FREE mystery charm, $, available at Tarte Versed Skin Solution Multi-Serum Skin Tint SPF 40 "Skin tints are a dime a dozen at this point, so I wasn’t expecting to be blown away by Versed’s Skin Solution Multi Serum Skin Tint. However, that’s exactly what happened when I first tried it. For starters, the color match is spot on — the shade 6O blended into my complexion with the most natural, skin-like finish. So many tints skew either too watery or overly slick, while others disappear a little too well that they barely make a difference. This one strikes a balance, offering a sheer veil of coverage that subtly evens things out without ever looking or feeling like makeup. (The added SPF 40 is a welcome bonus, though I still layer it over my regular sunscreen.) At $20, it’s also one of my most affordable skin tints in my collection — but doesn’t feel like it. It’s silky, lightweight, and doesn’t break me out. I will say, it’s on the lighter end of sheer coverage, so if you want more, I recommend adding a bit of concealer where desired." — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer Versed Skin Solution Multi-Serum Skin Tint SPF 40, $, available at Ulta Beauty Charlotte Tilbury Love Frequency Eau de Parfum Travel Spray "I wore this perfume to a recent wedding — yes, fully inspired by the name — and was stopped multiple times by other guests asking what I was wearing. (I could end my review there, but I won’t.) I’ve long been a fan of Charlotte Tilbury’s fragrances (Star Confidence is another standout in my rotation), but Love Frequency caught me off guard in the best way. I don’t typically gravitate toward florals, yet this one completely works — likely because it never tips into powdery or grandma territory. Instead, the rose-forward scent reads fresh and even fruity (think: petals that smell more like raspberries than a classic bouquet), juxtaposed with a hint of spicy pink pepper and soft, cashmere woods. The result is warm, modern, and so romantic. And best of all, it has serious staying power — it lingered on my hair and dress after a full night of dinner and dancing. I own it in the travel spray version, but love it so much I’m considering upgrading to a full-size bottle!" — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer Charlotte Tilbury Love Frequency Eau de Parfum Travel Spray, $, available at Sephora Farmacy’s Bright On Daily AHA Foam Exfoliator "If you’re looking for a new daily exfoliator, try Farmacy’s Bright On AHA. If you’re not a fan of the waste that comes with exfoliating pads — or find them too harsh (some even have textured sides) — this is a great alternative. Just pump it onto your fingertips, massage into skin, and let it work for 30 seconds. The alpha hydroxy acid here is mandelic acid, which helps brighten by minimizing hyperpigmentation. It’s balanced with moisturizing ingredients like panthenol and glycerin, so skin doesn’t feel stripped the way it can with some exfoliating pads. Finish with moisturizer, and you’re good to go." — Jacqueline Kilikita, Beauty Director Farmacy Bright On Daily AHA Foam Exfoliator, $, available at Farmacy Tatcha The Melting Balm "I’ve been wearing Tatcha’s new Melting Balm exclusively since I discovered it in February — and I think it beats every lip oil I own (which, as a beauty director, is a lot). It glides on like a cocooning balm, then melts on contact into a silky oil that doesn’t just sit on the surface, but deeply moisturizes, smoothing lip lines, and softening flakes. That’s thanks to conditioning tamanu oil, volumizing peptides, and barrier-restoring vitamin F. I rotate between Moka (a soft taupe) and Reddo (a sheer strawberry); the tints are subtle enough to layer over any lip liner or lipstick." — Jacqueline Kilikita, Beauty Director Tatcha The Melting Lip Balm, $, available at Tatcha Glow Recipe Watermelon Milk Peptide Cushion Cream Moisturizer "The phrase “cushion cream” almost put me off this moisturizer — I assumed it would be too heavy for my acne-prone skin — but don’t underestimate it like I did. It’s lightweight, sinks in within moments, and the formula is seriously impressive. It contains no fewer than 10 peptides — proteins that help strengthen and hydrate skin on a deeper level — leaving it looking plumper, smoother, and bouncier, with a healthy, dewy glow. There’s also glycerin and squalane for an extra hit of moisture, making it ideal under makeup (it grips like Velcro). One look at the five-star reviews on Sephora and you’ll see just how good it is." — Jacqueline Kilikita, Beauty Director Glow Recipe Watermelon Milk™ Peptide Cushion Cream Moisturizer, $, available at Sephora Secret Mango Tango Fresh Invisible Solid Antiperspirant & Deodorant "I credit this 72-hour stick antiperspirant and deodorant for keeping me body odor-free during my long, hot, and sweaty days at Coachella. But this long-lasting formula also gets brownie points for not leaving white marks on my outfits and having a delicious scent. Secret’s mocktail collection has a range of citrus and fruity fragrances, but the lime and mango have become my favorites." — Victoria Montalti, Senior Fashion Commerce Writer Secret Fresh Invisible Solid Antiperspirant & Deodorant, $, available at Walmart John Fluevog Flora Primrose "After admiring all the colorful and intricate John Fluevog shoes while window-shopping throughout the years, I finally got the opportunity to try them for myself. I learned about all the different shoe families (aka silhouettes), discovered the adorable sayings on many of the rubber roles, and tried countless spring styles, eventually landing on these adorably quirky Mary Jane slingbacks in pear green. It’s extremely difficult for me to find a shoe that doesn’t squish my toes or give me blisters on my heels, but these are incredibly comfortable. So far, I’ve styled them with a polka- dot dress and more green accessories like a shoulder bag, sunglasses, and rings, and I’m so excited to style them all spring and summer long." — Victoria Montalti, Senior Fashion Commerce Writer John Fluevog Flora Primrose - Green, $, available at John Fluevog Free People Sacred Heart Midi Skirt Set "I love shopping for concert and festival season outfits, but I never want to go for the obvious choices. For Coachella this year, I opted for this Free People matching set because I wanted something effortlessly put together and versatile. I like that it has boho vibes without feeling like a kitschy costume and can be mixed and matched for multiple looks. I styled the set with a stone chain belt and cowboy boots, and loved how breezy I felt and looked. I’m also looking forward to styling the top and skirt separately." — Victoria Montalti, Senior Fashion Commerce Writer Free People Sacred Heart Midi Skirt Set, $, available at Free People Old Navy x Christopher John Rogers Crop T-Shirt "I got my hands on the much -anticipated Old Navy x Christopher John Rogers collab before a majority of the collection sold out, opting for this colorful cropped tee, which is still in stock in all sizes online. I just love the relaxed boxy cut and fun red-and-pink color combo. It adds a serious pop to my spring and summer outfits." — Victoria Montalti, Senior Fashion Commerce Writer Old Navy x Christopher John Rogers Crop T-Shirt, $, available at Old Navy Haus Labs Atomic Shake Lip Lacquer "Finally, a lip product that actually lasts all day, is transfer-proof, and has shine. It’s available in both sheer and bold shades, depending on the makeup vibe you’re going for. Plenty don’t deliver on their long-wear claims, but this one really does. It also features film-forming polymers and filling spheres, which coat the lips to make them look juicier and plumper." — Brooke DeVard, Chief Content Officer Haus Labs Atomic Shake High-Shine Longwear Lip Lacquer, $, available at Sephora Meshki Gathered Mesh Midi Dress "I’ve fully embraced my salsera era (think 1960s Puerto Rico) and have been slowly building a wardrobe to match. This month, I added the Willa dress from Meshki, a mesh midi with a sculpted bodice and sweetheart neckline. While it also comes in black and polka- dot prints, I of course went with the ultimate salsera romantica color: ruby." —Raquel Reichard, Deputy Director, Somos Meshki Gathered Mesh Midi Dress, $, available at Meshki Just Black Denim Mid Rise Wide Leg Jeans "As a 5 foot curvy girl, I can’t just wear any pair of jeans. I need enough stretch to hug my hips and thighs, a waistband that fits snugly without gapping at the back, and a hemline that doesn’t drag on the ground when I walk. Most denim brands just don’t design for my body type, but when I tried Black Denim’s Mid Rise Wide Leg Jeans, I literally said out loud, “Oh, they slayed with these.” Not only do they fit beautifully and comfortably, but the light-wash denim and wide-leg silhouette feel fresh and easy to style." — Raquel Reichard, Deputy Director, Somos Just Black Denim The Mid Rise Wide Leg, $, available at Just Black Denim La Canadienne CYE Leather Booties "Florida’s rainy season, that time usually between May and October when sudden torrential downpours can hit at any point in the day, has already arrived. Because I’ve decided to spend more time outside this year, rain or shine, I prepared early with a pair of water-resistant booties. I’ve already worn my CYE leather booties from La Canadienne through a couple of light spring showers, and not only do the Classic Chelsea leather boots pull my fits together, but as part of the brand’s City Dry™ collection, they keep my feet dry and free from rain stains. I’m looking forward to wearing these classic, comfortable booties all through the wet season." — Raquel Reichard, Deputy Director, Somos La Canadienne Cye Leather Bootie, $, available at La Canadienne Like what you see?

The first Monday in May is quickly approaching, and in the fashion world, that means the biggest topic of discussion on the agenda is the Met Gala. This year, attendees are being tasked with flaunting their finest outfits inspired by the dress code, "Fashion is Art," nodding to the new museum exhibition, "Costume Art." In anticipation of an evening of head-turning outfits strutting down the sartorial star-studded carpet, we can’t help but recall some of the Met Gala’s biggest fashion moments ever. So, we’re taking a trip down memory lane, revisiting some of our all-time favorite Met Gala looks, from Cardi B’s regal Moschino gown from 2018 and Kate Moss’ Marc Jacobs golden mini dress circa 2009 to Princess Diana's Dior slip dress in 1996. Don’t worry, SJP and Alexander McQueen in matching tartan, Naomi Campbell in glittering Versace, and Tyla in Balmain as a sand sculpture that needed to be carried up the stairs also made the cut. So prepare to be amazed by the ethereal looks and red carpet dresses that have garnered attention every year since the first Costume Institute Benefit in 1948. Click on for our list of the best Met Gala looks of all time.

Ariana Grande in Vera Wang, 2018 Ariana Grande consistently goes above and beyond in the costume department. But her Sistine Chapel Vera Wang gown for 2018's Catholic-themed Met Gala was assuredly her most extra look yet. Photo: Jackson Lee/Getty Images. Rihanna in John Galliano, 2018 Can we all take a second to memorialize Rihanna's crystal-covered John Galliano papal look for the Heavenly Bodies themed Met Gala in 2018? Photo: Kevin Tachman/Getty Images. Zendaya in Atelier Versace, 2018 Who else is getting serious Joan of Arc meets Dune vibes from the armored Versace gown Zendaya wore in 2018? Photo: Taylor Hill/Getty Images. Solange Knowles in Iris van Herpen and Brother Vellies, 2018 There's a reason Solange Knowles goes by Saint Records, and it's this slick black Iris van Herpen gown, gold angelic crown, and Brother Vellies thigh-high boots. That's not really the reason, but a girl can dream. Photo: Rabbani and Solimene Photography/Getty Images. Frances McDormand in Valentino, 2018 Does it get more fabulous than Oscar-winning actress Frances McDormand in avant-garde Valentino at the Met Gala? We're thinking not. Photo: George Pimentel/Getty Images. Lana Del Rey in Gucci, 2018 Lana Del Rey's Gucci ensemble nailed the 2018 Met Gala's Catholic theme. Photo: Dia Dipasupil/WireImage. Cardi B in Thom Browne, 2018 What's better than Cardi B's regal Moschino look? The beaded gown was a major showstopper. Photo: Frazer Harrison/FilmMagic. Zoë Kravitz in Oscar de la Renta, 2017 Who else freaked out when Zoë Kravitz wore millennial pink to the Met Gala during peak millennial pink popularity? Photo: J. Kempin/Getty Images. Cara Delevingne in Chanel, 2017 The only thing better than Cara Delevingne introducing her sleek new bald 'do at the Manus x Machina Met Gala was the metallic Chanel pantsuit she wore.Photo: Karwai Tang/WireImage. Jennifer Lopez in Valentino, 2017 The Versace jungle dress might be J.Lo's most iconic, but we'd argue that this baby blue Valentino gown deserves the #1 spot. Photo: J. Kempin/Getty Images. Beyoncé in Givenchy, 2016 No one does latex fashion quite like Beyoncé, especially when it's designed by Givenchy.Photo: Karwai Tang/WireImage. Lupita Nyong'o in Calvin Klein, 2016 We'd be cheesin' it too if we looked as extraordinary as Lupita Nyong'o in this sparkling green Calvin Klein number. Photo: George Pimentel/WireImage.

And while applying a broad-spectrum, high-factor SPF every day — especially through spring and summer — can significantly reduce your risk of sunburn, premature ageing, and skin cancer, protecting your skin doesn’t stop there. If you’ve been shopping for a new swimsuit or a lightweight summer shirt recently, you may have come across UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) clothing. Think of it as sunscreen in fabric form: specially designed materials that help shield skin from harmful UV rays in much the same way sunscreen does. It’s just as straightforward, too — UPF 50+ clothing, for instance, blocks around 98% of UV radiation. Until recently, UPF pieces tended to prioritize function over style — but that’s changing. Ahead, our fashion editors share the most wearable UPF buys, from jackets to shirts and everything in between. DashDividers_1_500x100 Swimwear Salt Gypsy Jade One-Piece Surf Suit If you’re looking for a sporty style, this one-piece from Salt Gypsy gives Baywatch vibes — but with sun protection. Beyond the mock neckline and medium-coverage bottoms, the recycled nylon and Lycra fabric offers UPF 50 protection. Available on Free People as part of its Care FP collection, it currently has a 4.6-star rating from 17 reviews. Both petite and tall shoppers have extolled the virtues of the swimsuit, saying that it’s roomy and that there are plenty of colors to choose from. Avid Swim Sera Zinae Swimsuit Don’t let the playful print fool you. This isn’t just another trendy swimsuit; it’s a masterclass in combining high-end aesthetics with uncompromising sun safety. In a market where sun protection often translates to uninspiring utilitarian designs, this swimsuit reigns supreme. Available in sizes up to XXL and boasting a UPF 50+ rating, it provides the highest level of ultraviolet protection available in apparel, effectively blocking out 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays. What truly sets it apart is its technical design. The scoop neck maintains enough coverage to protect the delicate skin on the chest — an area often neglected and prone to sun damage — and the fabric is both smooth and breathable, ensuring that staying protected doesn’t lead to overheating. Minnow Rashguard One-Piece We can’t forget about the kiddies. The Slate Floral Rashguard by Minnow shows that children’s swimwear can be both buttery-soft and built for heavy-duty protection. This one-piece utilizes UPF 50+ fabric, providing a reliable shield against 98% of UV rays. But the real genius is the silhouette. By extending the coverage to full-length sleeves, it minimizes the sunscreen struggle for parents, protecting the high-exposure areas of the arms and shoulders without being heavy or restrictive. What’s more, the prints are undeniably cute (and available in matching styles for adults, too). For the families that live for a beach day, Minnow’s heroic swimsuit is the ultimate insurance policy for skin safety. Hunza G Katya UPF 50+ Swimsuit Hunza G might be internet famous for its crinkly fabrics (they’re so good, Burberry is working with the brand on a collaboration), but it’s the sporty chic, UPF 50+ designs that are truly deserving of an award. The Katya is a high-performance design that has a mock-neck silhouette and utilizes an ultrafine, flexible Italian fabric. The sporty contrast piping and rubberized logo detailing give it a “Bond Girl” edge, while the front-zip closure allows for a customizable neckline. In other words, you can transition from full coverage during peak UV hours to a more relaxed look for a sunset cocktail. Even better, it’s crafted from 74% recycled polyamide, proving that the future of sun safety is as much about environmental responsibility as it is about skin health. It deserves a spot in your luggage. Seea Georgia Surf Top & High-Waisted Surf Bottoms This vintage-inspired Seea surf set (sold as separates) found a spot under Free People’s Care FP curated collection of consciously made materials and clothing. Designed for surfing, the durable ribbed fabric ranges between UPF 30 and 50. The top — which has a 4.3-star rating from 39 reviews on Free People’s site — features double-lined fabric, wide straps for extra support, and fuller bust coverage. The bottoms — 4.3-star rating from 54 reviews — have a snug high-waisted silhouette with a back zipper closure for easy changing. Shoppers are glad they took a chance on it, praising its thick, stretchy, high-quality fabric and gorgeous color, also noting it offers a bit more coverage than a typical bikini while still looking cute and stylish. DashDividers_1_500x100 Shirts Daise Cropped Pru Button Down Crafted from 100% Global Organic Textile Standard-certified Turkish cotton, the Pru button-down is a quiet feat of textile innovation. Achieving a UPF 45–50+ rating in such an airy crinkle gauze fabric is no small thing, balancing breathability with serious sun protection. Instead of constantly reapplying thick sunscreen, it offers a reliable extra layer that blocks up to 98% of UV rays. The boxy silhouette leans into soft minimalism, with genuine shell buttons and a relaxed drape that works from morning coffee runs to long, sun-drenched afternoons on deck. It’s a rare piece that treats sun safety as non-negotiable, without compromising ease or style. Chic, practical, and quietly technical, it rethinks what everyday summer dressing can do. Club and Court Stripe Sun Shirt Picture this: You’ve just finished a killer set on the court, the sun is beating down, and instead of applying sunscreen onto sweaty skin, you’re already protected. That’s the effortless magic of Club & Court’s Stripe Sun Shirt. It’s a total reimagining of the classic quarter-zip pullover, trading in the gym teacher aesthetic for a retro-stripe energy that feels more like a vintage Riviera moment than a piece of athletic gear. The secret sauce includes All Court Performance fabric combined with UPF 30 protection. Together they create breathable comfort and a tailored fit that looks great with a tennis skirt or comfortable trousers. Whether you’re hitting the courts or going for a stroll, it’s the award-winning essential that keeps you cool, covered, and chic all year round. Old Navy Long-Sleeve Matte Rashguard Swim Top Perfect for protecting your skin from sun radiation and from chafing (especially during water activities like surfing), this Old Navy rash guard is a fan favorite (and back for summer 2026), with a 4.2-star rating from 196 reviews so far. The top has built-in UPF sun protection that accords with ASTM D6603, an international organization that sets standards for UV textiles. The cherry on top is that this style comes in under $50 (and frequently on sale), in multiple colorways, and available in sizes XS through 4X. Shoppers say it runs snug, so if you want some extra wiggle room to wear over a bikini top, size up. Lands’ End SunShade UPF 50 Long Sleeve Rash Guard Swim Tee With a 4.7-star rating from 2,236 reviews, you can be assured that this rash guard will have your back covered — literally. Shoppers love that the versatile top can even be worn for gardening or going to the gym. The high UPF 50 fabric ensures that only 2% of UV radiation can pass through it, and its soft, lightweight, and moisture-wicking properties keep you comfortable all day in the sun. This SunShade style is available in regular, petite, plus size, and long torso sizing, and boasts options with summery patterns or highly-rated three-quarter length sleeves. Tom Beckbe Tidewater Shirt The Tidewater shirt by Tom Beckbe is what happens when rugged, outdoor performance meets a refined, coastal sensibility. It’s the kind of piece that feels just as natural on the lake as it does on a sun-drenched deck. The magic lies in the exclusive 2.8-ounce cotton-nylon blend. It’s ultra-lightweight and engineered with enough spandex for a flattering, flexible fit that moves with you. Most importantly, it delivers UPF 30+ sun protection, shielding you from harmful rays. It’s also incredibly lightweight and quick-drying. For anyone who has been waiting for an outdoor shirt that actually looks as good as it protects, the search ends here. Cabana Life Gauze Button Down Shirt This deserves an SPF award for achieving what was once thought impossible: delivering high-level UPF 50+ protection in a 100% cotton, triple-cloth gauze. Usually, lightweight natural fibers are the enemy of UV protection because the loose weave acts like a sieve for sun rays, but Cabana Life has engineered a breathable, soft-hand fabric that still blocks 98% of UVA and UVB. This shirt will be the backbone of your warm-weather wardrobe. Wear it buttoned up with the matching pants, or leave it unbuttoned and show off your swimsuit underneath. It’s a rare find that transitions from a beachside lunch to a sun-drenched afternoon walk without looking like technical gear. With that in mind, we’ll take two. DashDividers_1_500x100 Sunglasses Meller Nemy Sunglasses Refinery29’s beauty director Jacqueline Kilikita receives endless compliments on these shades, but they’re far from style over substance. While the frames are slim and stylish, the tri-acetate cellulose polarized lenses reduce eye strain and glare, and block 100% of UVA and UVB rays, protecting your eyes without compromising clarity. Beyond the protective lenses, Kilikita also praises the durability of the frames, which still feel sturdy after years of wear. Ray-Ban Bill 60mm Square Sunglasses The bigger the lens, the better the coverage. Not only do these popular Ray-Ban glasses offer 100% sun protection, shielding against both UVA and UVB rays, but wearers also praise their comfort — there are no nose pads to pinch or leave dubious dents on the skin, the arms are slim, and the actual frames can be fitted with prescription lenses. Maui Jim Palulu 99mm Oversize Gradient PolarizedPlus2® Shield Sunglasses The wrap-around style makes these frames feel like armor against the sun, offering 100% UV protection thanks to PolarizedPlus2 lens technology, which also enhances colors. Despite the all-encompassing lens, they remain comfortable to wear thanks to the slim arms, with reviewers noting they’re lightweight, easy to wear, and ideal for working out in. DashDividers_1_500x100 Hats Eric Javits Champ II Visor Eric Javits knows a thing or two about UPF 50+ headwear, with eight bestselling styles gaining ratings of 4.8 stars or higher from more than 200 reviews. The luxury brand’s top-performing style, though, has a 4.8-star rating from a whopping 450 shoppers.

From her maximalist makeup looks to her dopamine dressing, Zara Larsson’s signature style has captivated the Internet. Specifically, Larsson’s aesthetic for her Midnight Sun album and tour has solidified her as the queen of summer-maxxing all year long. Much of this is thanks to the artist’s… team of artists! From stylist Caterina Ospina — who brought Larsson’s vision to life through nostalgic inspiration and commissioning talented costume designers — to MUA Sophia Sinot — who’s experimental and bold beauty looks across tour have gone viral — Refinery29 speaks with the artists changing the game. Larsson’s team explicitly call out both Barbie and Bratz dolls, TV shows like Winx Club and Hannah Montana, pop icons Britney Spears and Destiny’s Child, and symbols like hibiscus flowers and dolphins as major style inspo. Fans have taken those motifs and ran with them, recreating Larsson’s whimsical costumes and on-stage makeup on TikTok and IRL at shows. “When it exploded and people started replicating the outfits, it was very shocking, but it’s very nice to see that people resonate with it,” Ospina tells Refinery29. “That’s the biggest compliment that a stylist can have, and I’m sure Zara will say the same.” And we got tips from Larsson’s team on how to channel her look ourselves this summer, which unofficially starts on May 1, when the singer drops her deluxe album Girls’ Trip. So, whether you’re seeing Larsson on her current tour, following her multiple Lollapalooza festival performances in July, or just trying to have a Midnight Sun summer 2026, you’ll want to look as colorful and joyful as the “Eurosummer” singer. Ahead, hear from Larsson’s stylist, makeup artist, and costume designers on their advice for recreating their viral Midnight Sun looks. DashDividers_1_500x100 How To Wear Zara Larsson Midnight Sun Makeup “The number one tip is to not overthink it, and not care what other people are going to think,” Sinot advises Refinery29 readers on her Midnight Sun glam. “Just have fun and get in touch with your own creativity, because there’s really no rules with this type of makeup.” Sinot’s super colorful and blinged-out beauty looks regularly feature bright color-blocked eyeshadow, aura blush, and face gems. But before all the glitz and glam, the base is important. “You don’t need a very thick layer of foundation because you will go over it with a bronzer and a blush and a highlight and a glitter,” Sinot explains, adding: “We keep the base very matte, but then we bring back the shine with pigments and loose glitters. The ‘glow’ is just stuff you layer on top.” For the eyes, Sinot says she either chooses contrasting colors or a cohesive color palette, but reiterates that gently tapping layers of the shadow is most important. The same goes for the dimensional blush, which gives a faux sunburnt look. “If you want really heavy blush, don’t go super crazy with the foundation, but just go crazy with the blush. The less product that’s on your skin, the longer it’ll stay.” The gems are a signature style for Larsson as well, which travel from her costumes to her face and even across her body. Sinot uses lash glue to apply them and explains: “For placement… for example, with the center look that we do, I put a lot of gems in the center. And the more it spreads out, the less gems I use, so it really flows into a diffused look.” The MUA especially loves seeing fans at concerts applying gems to each other, saying: “This is girlhood.” And while Sinot surprisingly doesn’t use any primer or setting spray on Larsson — wild, we know! — she loves a good powder to lock it all in. Below, shop some of the products she names as the non-negotiables in her kit, from Caia Cosmetics eyeliner (which she uses for Larsson’s leopard-print eye looks), Made by Mitchell body glows, House of Lashes falsies, and Victoria Beckham Beauty’s thin eye pencils. DashDividers_1_500x100 How To Wear Zara Larsson Midnight Sun Fashion Costume designer Sorcha O’Raghallaigh — whose work you likely recognize, from Larsson’s hibiscus-covered MTV VMAS 2025 bedazzled mini dress to her embellished mini skirts across the tour — says: “Don’t be afraid to put your own slant on it and embrace your own creativity. The replicas are amazing as well, but I think it’s about having fun and not being afraid to use your own artistic license.” But if you’re looking for specific outfit inspo, stylist Caterina Ospina gives us a head-to-toe guide, first highlighting spray-painted tops. “It can be with any of the song titles or your own name, or even anything that you enjoy that’s beautiful and fun and bright.” (Larsson even partnered with Desigual on a summer collection that features a few spray-painted styles.) Ospina also calls out mini skirts and shorts with a lot of colorful sequins. And while there’s plenty on the market, O’Raghallaigh appreciates a DIY approach, saying: “I saw this girl online and she bought this denim skirt that already had flowers printed on it, and then she rhinestoned over it and it just looked amazing.” For the Midnight Sun US tour, designers Lis Dominguez from Alineo Studio and Aitana Lorenzo from Ayquechulo were brought on to help evolve the costumes. Their collaborative looks across matching sets, crystal bras, and charm belts have since gone viral. “We love that Zara’s fans recognize our work and connect with the looks,” they say, adding: “We also love seeing people recreate our pieces.” Dominguez and Lorenzo calls out colorful pieces with lots of sparkle, ruffled skirts, and glittery bikinis as key styles to channel Larsson’s look. The singer is actually launching her own swim brand, Main Rose, but in the meantime, check out Urban Outfitter’s selection of swimwear — the retailer recently partnered with the singer, too! DashDividers_1_500x100 How To Wear Zara Larsson Midnight Sun Accessories You can and should go all out with the accessories when styling a Midnight Sun outfit. Ospina says: “Hibiscus is key. Any hibiscus or glittery accessories like hair clips, which Zara wears.” The hibiscus flower has become a signature symbol for the singer ever since O’Raghallaigh added them to her 2025 VMAs look. “I think if you’re DIYing, you can do things like buy a hibiscus fake flower and then rhinestone onto it,” suggests O’Raghallaigh. “If you make a separate applique, you can either pin it onto your clothes or into your hair.” Another staple accessory: The keychain belt. In addition to Aileno Studio and Ayquechulo’s creations, Ospina says Larsson keep a lookout for fun keychains. “Sometimes she takes the ones from the fans that are waiting outside her concerts, and then she uses them as well.” Chunky bangles and colorful rings are also prevalent across Larsson’s looks, but we also suggest wearing seashell jewelry and dolphin motifs (like the Lisa Frank claw clip below) for an extra kitschy touch. And working your way down to your feet, Ospina explains: “Obviously, because you’re going to see her at a concert and you want to dance, I will say something comfortable but colorful.” We recommend nostalgic wedge sneakers or platform sandals for concerts and festivals, or summer-coded jelly thong kitten heels and flip flops for beach days and “girls’ trips.” Learn all about the inspiration behind Zara Larsson’s Midnight Sun era and aesthetic from her all-female team of artists here!

Your Artists’ Favorite Artists: Peek behind the curtains as we speak to the stylists, costume designers, and makeup pros who create the signature styles and viral “eras” that we’re all obsessed with. From the moment Zara Larsson started dropping anthems from her now-iconic album Midnight Sun exactly one year ago, it was clear that a star was… reborn. The Swedish singer, who we knew from hits like “Lush Life” (which has new viral dance choreography), “Symphony,” “Never Forget You,” and “Ain’t My Fault” from a decade prior, has reemerged as the pop diva she’s always been, and is finally getting her roses. Since she stepped on the red carpet at the 2025 MTV VMAs, Larsson immediately turned into a fashion It Girl. Now, when we see vibrant sunset colors, hibiscus flowers, spray-painted tops, rhinestone eye makeup, Lisa Frank-esque dolphins, and keychain belts, many of us think of Zara Larsson. In addition to the singer’s own creative vision, much of this can be attributed to her very joyful and energetic all-female team, consisting of stylist Caterina Ospina, makeup artist Sophia Sinot, and a revolving cast of costume designers, all of whom have strong POVs that have gained them esteem in their industries (and buzz online). To break down the evolution and inspiration behind Larsson’s signature style and Midnight Sun era across her EU and US tours, music videos, award show performances (and ahead of her much-anticipated deluxe album Girls’ Trip on May 1), Refinery29 speaks with the creative artists on the making of our favorite “Hot & Sexy” fashion and beauty looks. Photos courtesy of Caterina Ospina. Photos: Caterina Ospina Over one year ago, Spanish-born stylist Caterina Ospina was brought on to style last-minute festival looks for Larsson, which helped blossom their creative relationship. “From that moment, we didn’t stop,” Ospina says. “She was always bold and colorful. It was just putting all the pieces together and trying to make her pop.” And that pop was heard around the world when Ospina started styling Larsson as Tate McRae‘s Possessive tour opening act. For Larsson’s current Midnight Sun era, Ospina boils down her aesthetic to a few words: “Dopamine, fairy, powerful, sexy girl.” And we very much agree that it’s dopamine dressing to the max. “If you like Zara’s style, it’s because you like color. She’s all about empowerment. So if you want to wear that, you need to be a very bold and happy person; to be free and yourself and sexy.” While she makes it clear that Larsson is the big boss, Ospina is the one in charge of research for inspiration (Ex: Winx Club, Bratz, and Hannah Montana) and outreach to costume designers (especially emerging talent, Spanish creatives, and Central Saint Martins college graduates) to help reflect the different “fun fairy vibes” and “hot and sexy” portions of Larsson’s concert performances. “I see something, an element or a color or a shape that I like from them. How can I get this into Zara’s world? How can we merge it and make it magical for Zara?” she explains her thought process. That’s how Ospina found Irish designer Sorcha O’Raghallaigh, who has previously created custom pieces for pop icons like Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Madonna, and Kylie Minogue (and who was actually stepping back from custom design at the time). Her signature element? Flower work, dating back to her CSM graduate collection. “They’ve always been a thread in my work. So I think that’s what drew Caterina to me to develop a special hibiscus,” O’Raghallaigh says, adding: “It’s been a real dream to work with Caterina and Zara, who also appreciate color and texture and sparkle, which is my favorite thing.” Ospina echoes this, saying: “No one at that point really knew what we were capable of, and with her, it was just the perfect match.” That is, when Larsson stepped out at the 2025 MTV VMAs in a collaborative look from the stylist and costume designer that showed off the singer in a sheer bedazzled mini dress covered in rhinestoned hibiscus flowers, with a hair clip to match. (And if you’re wondering, both Ospina and O’Raghallaigh cite this era-defining and transformative look as their favorite Larsson design to date.) Photos courtesy of Sorcha O’Raghallaigh Photos: Sorcha O’Raghallaigh You likely know many of O’Raghallaigh’s pieces for Larsson because they’ve blown up online. From the many shimmering mini skirts worn across Larsson’s EU and current US Midnight Sun tours to the embellished hibiscus bra in PinkPantheress’ “Stateside” music video, the custom designs have helped define the singer’s current era — which O’Raghallaigh describes as: “Fantasy, colorful, a bit Barbie, and Y2K” — while staying true to the designer’s craft and POV. “Everything I do and my team does is by hand, bead for bead. We literally make everything from scratch. We like to make life hard for ourselves, basically,” the designer jokes. “Even with the skirts for the US, they’re tiny, but there’s probably over a hundred hours of work in each one.” When combined with other designers’ pieces like crystal bodysuits and mesh tops through Ospina’s styling, the outcome has been viral looks that Larsson’s fans and concertgoers love to recreate. “The dedication from the fans has been insane,” O’Raghallaigh says. “Some of the recreations… I’m like: ‘Do you want to come work for me?’” Another mega trend we’ve seen online is fans reinterpreting Larsson’s bright and bold beauty looks, courtesy of Dutch celebrity makeup artist Sophia Sinot, who was recently awarded Glamour’s 2026 Best Beauty Content Creator. Sinot has collaborated with Larsson for over five years, but since consistently working with the singer for her tours, the MUA has single-handedly put a halt to “clean girl makeup.” Photos courtesy of Sophia Sinot. Photos: Sophia Sinot “Although it was very much about embracing natural beauty, I still feel like there was some sort of pressure on it. It was like, put as little makeup on as possible, but make sure you look as beautiful as possible,” Sinot speaks on the minimal beauty aesthetic. “With this era that we’re in now, people just don’t really care about looking beautiful,” elaborating that perfection and status-quo beauty looks aren’t a top priority for self-expression anymore. For the EU tour, Sinot says she was inspired by space, nature, water, and reflections of the sun à la songs like “Midnight Sun” and “Saturn’s Return.” Sinot explains: “This tour is the first moment where we actually have been able to really express ourselves without any limitations or any rules,” adding that her day-of process is very “chaotic” and Larsson just tags along for the ride. Sinot’s signature “Midnight Sun glam” concepts include bright color-blocked eyeshadow, aura blush, face gems, and, more recently, body makeup and stickers. Ospina, who calls Sinot a “mastermind,” gave the MUA custom-designed hibiscus stickers, which Sinot placed on Larsson’s cheeks… followed by rhinestone stars down her arms and legs, butterflies down her spine, a sun across her chest, and leopard print around her shoulders. For the US, “I’m more inspired by Barbie and ’80s glam and animal prints,” Sinot explains. “I used to do leopard print on my eyes in high school, and my teachers were really not happy that I’d skip class all the time, but that I did have time to put leopard print on my eyes,” she reflects, while fatefully citing Larsson’s leopard-print beauty looks as her favorite work. Following Sinot’s consistently viral looks, she’s gained more opportunities from brands and clients, most recently creating the five looks for Katseye‘s “Pinky Up” music video. Photos courtesy of Ayquechulo x Alineo Studio. Screenshot Photos: Alineo Studio, Ayquechulo, Robin Bøe, Lis Dominguez, Aitana Lorenzo And “opportunity” seems to be a big word for the creatives involved with Larsson, because doors have opened for all of them. For both Lis Dominguez (Alineo Studio designer) and Aitana Lorenzo (Ayquechulo designer), they say: “We are both incredibly grateful to Caterina for this opportunity and for trusting us. Working for Zara has given us valuable experience and pushed us to adapt and reinvent ourselves.” Both designers, who went to the same Spanish university together, were reached out to separately by Ospina to help reflect a style evolution for the US tour. “We immediately texted each other and started talking about it for hours. We connected instantly and knew that together we could evolve Zara’s aesthetic and surprise her fans.” And they did just that. Taking inspiration from early-2000s trends and pop icons like Paris Hilton, Destiny’s Child, and Britney Spears, the collaborative duo blended “the maximalism and signature colors of Ayquechulo with the fluidity of Alineo pieces.” This has come to fruition through viral flowy dyed matching sets, custom charm and keychain belts (which I personally tried to recreate for my Coachella outfit), crystal bras, and chunky jewelry for Larsson’s stage performances. Symbols like hibiscus flowers and dolphins, as well as colors like fuchsia, yellow, and blue are also notable threads throughout their work. “It has been surreal to go on social media and see viral videos about our collaboration. We love that Zara’s fans recognize our work and connect with the looks,” they say, adding: “We also love seeing people recreate our pieces.” Photos (from left to right): Caterina Ospina, Sophia Sinot (D’Andre Elizah), Sorcha O’Raghallaigh, Aitana Lorenzo, Lis Dominguez From day one of the Midnight Sun era through today, there’s no doubt that there has been a cultural shift in the music, fashion, beauty, and fandom spaces. “When it exploded and people started replicating the outfits to go to the concert, it was very shocking, but it’s very nice to see that people resonate with it,” Ospina says. “That’s the biggest compliment that a stylist can have, and I’m sure Zara will say the same.” Sinot also puts the gravity of this Zara Larsson phenomenon perfectly, saying: “When I was very young, I would also look up to pop stars and think: ‘Oh, I wanna look like that.’ And now, we are creating those moments.” Check back soon for Refinery29’s shopping guide to get Zara Larsson’s look, according to her team, whether you’re attending her tour or channeling a Midnight Sun summer 2026!

A new designer collaboration has entered the chat! Designer (and all-around icon) Victoria Beckham is teaming up with Gap on a spring collection to debut their new multi-season partnership. And we couldn’t think of a better retailer for the luxury brand to partner with — in the last six months alone, Gap has released viral collaborations with Sandy Liang, Summer Fridays, and Harlem’s Fashion Row. And now, Gap x Victoria Beckham’s upcoming 38-piece collection reimagines Gap’s signature wardrobe staples through the designer’s modern eye. “To me, Gap is an all-American icon — a brand that has always created timeless pieces for everybody’s wardrobe, with a sharp attention to detail,” said Victoria Beckham in a press release. “Bringing my design perspective to those everyday essentials and working with a team that shares that same commitment to craftsmanship and execution has made this collaboration incredibly special.” Those everyday essentials include utilitarian-inspired jackets and pants as well as cozy logo sweatsuits in Victoria Beckham’s signature white, grey, khaki, and navy color palette. But we’re most excited about some of the standout spring 2026 trends highlighted in the collection, like (not-so-divisive-anymore) It-girl capris and denim-forward ‘fits. According to the press release, the collection “draws inspiration from Gap’s archive, referencing defining denim moments and silhouettes from the late ’80s and early ’90s.” Those styles include straight-leg, barrel-leg, and capri-length jeans as well as denim jackets, shirts, and baseball caps for denim-on-denim outfits. “Every collaboration we pursue is rooted in storytelling,” said Gap’s president and CEO in the release. “This partnership feels truly authentic — and that’s where the magic happens. It has allowed us to create pieces we hope our customers feel they have to have.” And we’re sure that shoppers will have to have these pieces too… and the collection will probably sell out quickly. So, when the drop happens, you’ll want to be prepared! Here’s what you need to know: The 38-piece collection will be available in sizes XXS through XXL, ranging between $34 and $328. The collaboration officially releases on Gap.com on April 24 at 9 a.m. EST, but Gap cardmembers can shop it early on April 23. May the odds be ever in your favor!

Twenty years after Stella McCartney partnered with H&M on its second-ever designer collaboration (which has since become the retailer's signature shopping event every year), the English icon is back for round two. "I get asked to do things like this quite often, and I, on the whole, say no because it’s not normally the right partner with the right set of belief systems or standards. But 20 years ago, I was interested in doing this," McCartney explained in a press junket. "But I stipulated a very clear list of requirements all around sustainability. They managed, to their credit, to deliver on [those] sustainability [goals], and it sold out in seconds." Today's collection, which features modern takes on archival styles and "icons,"like the brand's studded "Rock Royalty" tee and Falabella chains, keeps sustainable materials at the forefront, featuring organic cotton, recycled crystals, and RWS Standard-certified wool. "I really wanted to make it quite gender-fluid. Because I wear men’s suits all the time, so anyone can wear it," McCartney said, adding: "I want a younger, wider audience to have access to myself [and] to impact people’s wardrobe in a positive way." From sharp tailoring, oversized shirting, chic shoulder bags, and trench coats (for more workwear-inspired pieces) to bejeweled prints, sparkling tops, mixed-metal jewelry, and mesh dresses (perfect for parties), the collection is equally nostalgic and modern, especially when modeled by today's It girls like Reneé Rapp, Adwoa Aboah, and Angelina Kendall.

It’s a great day for Christopher John Rogers fans. The New York-based designer has teamed up with Old Navy to deliver a collection filled with those dopamine-inducing designs at prices for the masses. Kimora Lee Simmons and her daughters, Aoki and Ming Lee, are also joining the campaign, starring in undeniably fabulous photos. The glam trio can be seen striking a pose in playful patterns—like the instantly identifiable Christopher John Rogers stripes and abstract polka dots. Of course, there’s a ton of sprightly colors too. Think chartreuse denim and cherry red off-the-shoulder tops. SHOP OLD NAVY X CHRISTOPHER JOHN ROGERS What’s even better? Old Navy and Christopher John Rogers are offering a host of accessories that are perfect for packing for a summer getaway or carrying through the city while running errands. There’s a wear-everywhere scarf that can be worn as a headband, as a skirt over your bikini, or even as a belt (one of my favorite styling hacks trending right now). You’ll also find carry-everything totes with long handles that sit comfortably on the shoulders. I can just picture it perched perfectly on top of a carry-on during a chic trip to the airport. These accessories are poised to be the next coveted collector’s items for all the fashion girlies. If you’re looking for shopping advice, I’d grab the ‘CJR’ embroidered bags and knits or the graphic T-shirts first. The logo lovers are bound to scoop those up quickly. Naturally, it only makes sense to go for some of the denim pieces next, especially since Old Navy is known for making the coziest jeans. I’m personally not going to miss this opportunity to get one of Christopher John Rogers’ rainbow dresses for a fraction of the price. And the minimalist inside of me isn’t going to miss the opportunity to grab that drop-waist white dress either. At $89 or less a pop, the only thing I’ll regret is not buying two. Like what you see?

It’s that time of year again. Yes, wedding season is officially upon us. And here in Manhattan, we’ve kicked off the festivities with New York Bridal Fashion Week — the epicenter of all things bridal. Every season, bridal designers from across the country and the globe gather in the Big Apple to showcase the latest collections while giving future brides and fashion industry insiders a first peek into the top trends of the season. Last year, you couldn’t attend a wedding without seeing a bride in a drop-waist gown, airy neck scarves, or a draped corset top. And while whispers of chiffon neck scarves and drop-waist silhouettes are still present, this year, the Spring/Summer 2027 collections are all about refined drama and soft luxury statements with detailing like ornate lace, voluminous bubble hems, and added pizzazz with a bit of color. “Brides are craving pieces that feel special and considered, rather than minimal for the sake of being minimal,” says Giselle Valdez, CEO of New York’s Spina Bride salon. “There’s also a return to richness in fabrication— layered silk chiffon, textured fabrics, and dimensional appliqué that feels couture.” This season’s brides are also turning to accessories, such as embellished headpieces and mini veils, to accentuate full wedding looks. “Accessories are now becoming much more intentional and fashion-driven. We’re seeing brides start to treat them as part of the overall look rather than an afterthought,” Valdez adds. Whether you’re a 2026 bride, newly engaged and looking towards the future, or on a mission to update your summer wardrobe with some bridal white-inspired ensembles, say “I do” to our curation of ready-to-wear looks inspired by these five bridal fashion week trends sure to define the spring 2027 season. DashDividers_1_500x100 The New CBK Slip There isn’t a bride who doesn’t have Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s iconic Narciso Rodriguez wedding dress on their bridal mood board. And with the recent success of FX’s Love Story, CBK’s minimalist style is more popular than ever before. And while refined maximalism and elevated drama are a clear theme of the spring 2027 bridal season, there will always be a timeless, effortless elegance to the simplicity of a classic slip dress. “Minimalism isn’t going anywhere— if anything, we’re seeing a cultural moment remind us just how powerful a perfectly restrained gown can be,” says Kyha Schott, founder and creative designer of Australian-based bridal brand KYHA. “But what’s shifting is the expectation that simplicity alone is enough. Brides still want modernity and ease…it’s less a departure from minimalism, and more an evolution of it.” DashDividers_1_500x100 Non-White and Pops of Color Ahead of Bridal Fashion Week, Harris Reed’s Autumn/Winter 2026 show set the tone for colorful brides showcasing a runway of white lace gowns paired with bright blue, green, and pink veils. And as a bride who wore a custom blush gown down the aisle, I love a non-white bridal look. Branching out from the traditional bridal white, fan-favorite designers such as Monique L’Huiller and Galia Lahav celebrated color in their recent collections, showcasing gowns with crimson florals and lace, while KYHA’s Chroma collection featured fiery garments in blood orange hues. But if you want to depart from the classic shades of ivory and white with a more subtle color statement, you can’t go wrong with muted florals or soft pastels, including powder pink, blush, and baby blue — a dominant color for a selection of embellished suits and dresses in Tanner Fletcher’s romantic spring 2027 wedding collection. DashDividers_1_500x100 Luxe Lace Lace will always be a regal style for brides, thanks to iconic wedding dresses worn by real-life royalty, including Kate Middleton and Grace Kelly. But the love for lace has gone beyond the royal wedding statement sleeve. Brides who love lace as more than just an accent are now committed to the all-over lace look à la Millie Bobby Brown’s custom Galia Lahav creation for her 2024 wedding. Once preferred as elegant embroidery, lace is now a full garb. And this season, it was the fitted lace gown that took center stage with eye-catching, open-lace designs featured in the collections of Dana Harel, Sarah Seven, Katherine Tash, and Ukraine bridal brand Milla Nova. DashDividers_1_500x100 Vintage Birdcage Veils Ornate headpieces have returned to the forefront of bridal styling with the netted birdcage veil appearing as this season’s accessory favorite. The ever-sophisticated vintage style, which marries the idea of a mini veil and a chic chapeau, has been elevated for the modern era and featured in the spring collections of Monique L’Huiller, Ines Di Santo, as well as contemporary bridal and ready-to-wear brand LEIN, in collaboration with milliner Gigi Burris. Whether pinned in the hair or attached to a miniature hat, the netted veil, which classically sweeps across the face, can be worn bare or adorned with everything from florals (as seen on the Di Santo runway) to sparkling crystals and pearls. DashDividers_1_500x100 Bridal Bubble Hems Believe it or not, bubble hems are still all the rage. The nostalgic early aughts style made its way from the ready-to-wear runways to the wedding aisles as a popular trend of 2025. And the spring 2027 bridal season is no different. “I’ve noticed a lot of puff skirts, puff sleeves, puff peplums, puff everything this season! The ‘80s are having a comeback,” says New York-based bridal stylist Maise-Kate Keane of the bubbled bridal week trend. From voluminous ballroom skirts—a staple in KYHA’s retro, 80s-inspired collection—to puffed-up minis seen in the collections of Danielle Frankel and Cult Gaia’s latest bridal drop, it appears the bouncy bubble hem is here to stay.

Delilah Belle Hamlin Yes, the era of flower crowns and shimmery tinsel is long behind us. The sartorial pendulum is actually swinging harder than ever in the opposite direction in 2026. This year, one of the quiet stars of the festival season opener was the humble yet dependable white tank top. Yes, the wardrobe staple made an appearance on several of our favorite style stars, proving that the “less is more” trope still holds true when getting dressed — a lesson we can all incorporate into our everyday lives, no Coachella VIP tickets needed. Besties Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber relied on tank tops to anchor their weekend outfits. Jenner went with a mostly white ensemble that included a sharp black belt to make the desert outfit feel polished rather than an afterthought. Bieber did the reverse, opting for a black tank top and windbreaker pants. The tiny detail that took the Rhode founder’s outfit to the next level: merlot flats. As you can see, it’s those thoughtfully picked accessories that make simple tank tops feel intentional instead of sloppy. Curious to see who else got the memo on the tank top trend during Coachella weekend? Keep scrolling for a breakdown and the styling tips that kept those pared-back looks feeling effortlessly cool. Kendall Jenner Jenner knows that contrast makes simple outfits instantly pop. From the deep black hue to the smooth leather, it’s the smart belt and boots that place this simple tank top outfit at the top of the list. Jasmine Tookes No, not technically a top, but the tank dress is a wardrobe warrior that will never go out of style and fits perfectly into the anti-festival fashion movement. From the ’90s to today, it’s a supermodel staple that works for nearly any occasion. Follow Jasmine Tookes and wrap a studded belt around yours for a cinched look. Delilah Belle Hamlin Delilah Belle Hamlin Yes, wearing your bikini as outerwear is totally acceptable. At Revolve Festival, Hamlin brought her tank top to life with Tropic of C’s playful boy shorts. Follow her lead and add a pendant necklace — the ultimate spring accessory — for extra charm. Hailey Bieber Leaning into the unexpected festival fashion outfit trend, Bieber kept things chic in a black halter tank with coordinating windbreaker pants. Her new Phoebe Philo flats added interest to the look along with an Ametora cardigan. Isabelle Allain Cool layers are a must in the desert, especially when the weather is blazing at noon and chilly at midnight. An oversized jacket will come in handy and make any tank top look instantly cool. Bonus points if you can score cool pony hair sneakers like the new ones from Vans. Like what you see?

It’s officially spring and as the saying goes, “April showers bring May flowers,” which means bouts of rain and unpredictable weather are almost inevitable. However, at the risk of getting blasted with a chill or caught in a sudden downpour, this is around the time that most people throw practicality out the window and begin reaching for those more playful pieces they had packed away. But with the spring 2026 runway trends as proof, that post-winter clarity often leads to some really fun collections that won’t make you choose between whimsy and function. From designers like Stella McCartney and Tom Ford incorporating lingerie-inspired designs into their Spring/Summer 2026 collections, to Loewe and Fendi putting their own spin on the oversized windbreaker that looks like it was plucked right out of the ‘90s, the fashion set is all about experimenting with different proportions and details. It’s why divisive pieces like capris are also having a moment, as they can be worn, in legging form, from Pilates to brunch with ease. There’s this undeniable push to get people to think outside the box and from the looks of the trends that are going to be everywhere this spring, it’s working like a charm. Continue ahead for a breakdown of the seven unconventional spring 2026 fashion trends that are set to dominate this season — across dresses, jacket, and aesthetics — along with a curated selection of shoppable finds to help you get ahead of the masses. DashDividers_1_500x100 Spring 2026 Trend: Top Drawer Dressing PARIS, FRANCE OCTOBER 01: A model walks the runway during the Acne Studios Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2026 fashion show as part of the Paris Fashion Week on October 1, 2025 in Paris, France. (Photo by Victor VIRGILE/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images) Putting together an outfit that’s worthy of praise requires you to think a little outside the box, which includes taking your intimates beyond the bedroom. Although this trend can seem a bit daunting at first, it’s really as simple as throwing a mesh slip skirt over a pair of statement tights or pairing a lacy camisole top with jeans, per the Stella McCartney Spring/Summer 2026 runway. You can even take a page out of Hailey Bieber’s book with a negligee-inspired lace dress for date night. Of course, there are levels to embracing this trend, so if you want something advanced, try a “more is more” approach with strategic layering à la No. 21 styling. DashDividers_1_500x100 Spring 2026 Trend: Sporty Windbreakers PARIS, FRANCE OCTOBER 03: A model walks the runway during the Loewe Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2026 fashion show as part of the Paris Fashion Week on October 3, 2025 in Paris, France. (Photo by Victor VIRGILE/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images) Functional fashion for spring isn’t necessarily groundbreaking. But the way the style set is dressing them up feels refreshing, and the powerhouse brands such as Saint Laurent, Fendi, and Miu Miu throwing their hats into the ring are the official stamp of approval. Blending the worlds of gorpcore and fashion, weather-resistant designer jackets are all over the runway (and For You pages, too). Embrace the trend IRL by introducing oversized pieces with funnel collars in retro color combinations into your everyday lineup this season. DashDividers_1_500x100 Spring 2026 Trend: Pedal Pushers Model on the runway at the Rabanne fashion show as part of Spring/Summer 2026 Paris Fashion Week on October 02, 2025 in Paris, France. (Photo by Giovanni Giannoni/WWD via Getty Images) Regardless of how you feel about pedal pushers (aka capris), the controversial pant length is undoubtedly having a moment for Spring 2026. If you need proof, just look at the Versace and Rabanne runways. Not only are they a stylish alternative to Bermudas, the refined silhouette is quite versatile, which means you can wear them a bunch of different ways. Take cues from Magda Butrym and Sandy Liang by opting for sheer or lace styles that you can layer for a more dynamic look. DashDividers_1_500x100 Spring 2026 Trend: Polo Tops MILAN, ITALY – SEPTEMBER 27: A model walks the runway during the MSGM Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2026 fashion show as part of the Milan Fashion Week on September 27, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by Victor VIRGILE/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images) There’s just something about a polo top that makes it so fitting for spring, and it seems most designers are in agreement. Smart and stylish, they’re versatile enough to be layered under sweaters or with midi skirts in a uniform fashion that’s reminiscent of the Tory Burch runway. But they can also be worn by themselves with the same ease as your favorite t-shirts. Try experimenting with fabrics and fits if it feels too buttoned-up. You may even consider a polo dress, as seen in Christopher John Rogers’s Spring 2026 collection. DashDividers_1_500x100 Spring 2026 Trend: Towel Dressing PARIS, FRANCE – OCTOBER 07: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY – For Non-Editorial use please seek approval from Fashion House) A model walks the runway during the Christopher Esber Womenswear Spring/Summer 2026 show at Australian Embassy as part of Paris Fashion Week on October 07, 2025 in Paris, France. (Photo by Richard Bord/Getty Images) Terrycloth fabrics scream warmer weather, as does a wrap-front strapless dress that looks like a towel you’ve wrapped around your body post-shower. Loewe and Christopher Esber took a literal approach for spring, whereas COS offered up a sartorial option with shoulder straps that can tuck inside when you want to bare a little more skin. Whereas punchier styles like Spanish designer Juan Vidal’s floral-print dress (with beach towel vibes) are worth throwing in your suitcase for tropical vacations. DashDividers_1_500x100 Spring 2026 Trend: Napoleon Jackets PARIS, FRANCE – OCTOBER 04: A model walks the runway during the Ann Demeulemeester Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2026 fashion show as part of the Paris Fashion Week on October 4, 2025 in Paris, France. (Photo by Virgil Claisse/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images) From camo pants to trending graphic tees at Brandy Melville, it seems like everywhere we look there are vintage, military-inspired details infiltrating the fashion market and this spring, you can add double-breasted Napoleon jackets to the list. A 2006 staple with a column of buttons down the front, it has a gothic vibe that instantly makes even the simplest of outfits feel edgier. Take styling cues from Ann Demeulemeester, McQueen, and Johanna Ortiz, by opting for jackets in rich fabrics like leather or structured cotton and crepe material. DashDividers_1_500x100 Spring 2026 Trend: Shift Dresses PARIS, FRANCE – OCTOBER 06: Mica Arganaraz walks the runway during the Sacai Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2026 fashion show as part of the Paris Fashion Week on October 6, 2025 in Paris, France. (Photo by Victor VIRGILE/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images) The rumors are true, 2016 fashion is back and as someone with boots on the ground during this era, the resurgence of shapeless shift dresses was inevitable. Although structured minis as seen on the runway at Marc Jacobs, Sacai, and Hodakova reigned supreme, don’t be afraid to try a midi or floor-sweeping maxi, made from linen, instead. (Pro tip: Consider grabbing printed pieces that will double as neutrals in your closet, like plaid, stripes, or animal prints.) Like what you see?

Just when I thought we were officially exiting the beauty-is-pain fashion phase, Gen Z reminds me that I’m merely an aging millennial who knows nothing. Right now, the purveyors of what’s in and what’s out are making a strong case for the return of the stiletto. This time, it’s not about teeter-tottering for the male gaze. Instead, the resurgence is centered on a confidence-boosting power move — one that’s making wearers feel empowered to stand tall and take up more space. A TikToker captioned her shoe selfie, “Because being 6’3″ is actually that fun,” while another wrote, “2026 is the year I step up to the plate and casually wear heels everywhere.” @sanddoll.air Someone has to be brave enough to do it,might as well be me #fyp #resolutionunlocked #goals #justgirlythings ♬ original sound – henrique Even with the ebbs and flows of trends, there are some brands who have consistently championed stilettos. Labels like Paris Texas — a constant go-to for Camila Morrone — and Saint Laurent have continued to churn out seductively spiky heels, even during peak ballet flat mania. From the Babylone slingbacks to the Kirat mules, the Parisian house always makes room for the sultry shoes. NEW YORK, NEW YORK – APRIL 06: Camila Morrone seen at ‘LIVE with Kelly and Mark’ in Hudson Square on April 06, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Aeon/GC Images) Beyond the runways and celebrity sightings, the trend is being democratized everywhere. On the other side of the spectrum, Gen Z’s obsession with all things nostalgic continues with a love for mall brands, too, especially Jessica Simpson’s heels. Yes, the “I Wanna Love You” singer’s eponymous line is still going strong to this day, and the TikTok girlies are obsessing over the reliable department store heels. I mean, those were some of the most comfortable pumps I owned circa 2011. If you’re feeling like Gen Z and craving a bit of height, of course, there are plenty of playful stilettos to shop. Some of our editors’ favorite finds are waiting for you below. Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?

From a sneaker takeover to trending tech jackets, the sporty aesthetic has officially hit the ground running for Spring 2026. One person who’s already channeling the athleisure look? Two-time Olympic gold medalist and FIFA Women’s World Cup champion Carli Lloyd. The former professional U.S. soccer player (and one of the GOATs) has partnered with Tek Gear by Kohl’s, an activewear line “designed for every age, body, and budget,” including plus sizes and adaptive styles that feature moisture-wicking, breathable, and stretchy fabrics to “support movement,” for its spring campaign, according to a press release. “I don’t typically go to a nine-to-five job every day or have to get dressed up for an office, so I obviously love the Tek Gear activewear pieces. Tek Gear, and Kohl’s in general, offers affordable, quality pieces for everybody,” Lloyd tells Refinery29, adding: “My mom has shopped at Kohl’s for me and my siblings growing up, and now we have our daughter, so it’s kind of a one-stop shop for the whole family.” Instead of a typical nine-to-five job, Lloyd is busy being a mom and preparing to serve as a correspondence for the 2026 men’s World Cup with Fox Sports this summer. “The 26th World Cup is going to be the biggest and best. So, I think for me to be part of the talent and the group of people that will be on the desk in studio… to be a female…. It’s pretty awesome to be covering a men’s World Cup. I’m very grateful to be able to have this opportunity,” Lloyd says. In the meantime, Lloyd is getting active this spring with Tek Gear. “It’s been a rough winter, so I cannot wait to just get outside on the golf course, go for some runs, and even just take walks with our daughter,” she says. Wondering what her favorite Tek Gear pieces are? “I love the Tek Gear Ultrastretch High-Waisted Leggings. I feel like I’m in leggings constantly,” she says, explaining that they’re versatile and her go-to style for outdoor activities. Lloyd also called out the Tek Gear Essential Core Tee, run shorts, and sports bras, saying that she likes to mix and match them for different looks, which she completes with her favorite Nike Jordans or Dunks. “I definitely think there’s a lot more options and athleisure styles that women feel comfortable wearing today. And they’re not only comfortable, but they also look good as well,” Lloyd explains, adding: “And obviously on the soccer field, things have evolved as well. [Women’s uniforms] have less of the boxy cut and more tapered looks. That stuff is always evolving.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by CARLI LLOYD (@carlilloyd) In addition to women’s activewear evolving, women’s soccer has evolved too throughout Lloyd’s 17-year professional soccer career. “When I first was on the national team in 2005, we were barely pushing 5,000 fans at our games. And now, obviously, we’re selling out stadiums,” says Lloyd. “From a financial standpoint, players are getting paid more. Facilities and standards and treatment and care — all of those things matter, and they’ve gotten a lot better.” Lloyd has also seen a dramatic growth in hype and support behind female athletes, as we’ve thankfully seen in the last few years, especially surrounding the Olympics and WNBA. “Women’s sports, I feel like in general, are just on this trajectory and continuing to take off, which is really cool. It’s no longer just a charity to get involved with women’s sports. Maybe you have a daughter, and you want to own a team. It’s like a business now. People are investing, and it’s great to see.” With the spring weather finally making its much-awaited appearance, and bringing with it the promise of sunny baseball games, sweaty pickleball tournaments, and World Cup watch parties, it’s a great time to update your activewear drawer, perhaps with some of Lloyd’s top Tek Gear picks (many of which are on sale through April 12!).

Consider this your editor-approved shortlist of everything worth adding to cart this month as we step into spring. Ahead, 18 fashion and beauty finds to shop right now. At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team.

Zara Limited Edition Fringed Structured Skirt "Zara has really been stepping up their game lately, especially with their limited-run collections that feel more like runway pieces than high-street finds. This skirt is the perfect example — the texture of the cotton blend yarn and that specific ruffle detail with the fringing gives it so much movement and dimension. It has that sophisticated, pink pattern that makes the color feel all grown-up. I already know it’s going to be one of those pieces I keep in my closet for years and years to come. Considering the cost per wear at $169, it’s a total steal. Stalking Zara’s new arrivals has become a non-negotiable part of my week." — Alexis Bennett Parker, Director of Shopping Partnerships Zara LIMITED EDITION FRINGED STRUCTURED SKIRT, $, available at Zara Dôen Iona lace-trimmed silk-satin shorts "Honestly, this is easily my favorite purchase of the year so far because it perfectly nails that high-low balance I’m always chasing. It’s rare to find a piece that feels this luxurious and editorial but can be styled down for a coffee run without looking like you’re doing too much. Think of these Dôen Iona lace-trimmed silk-satin shorts as the spring version of the “wrong shoe theory.” While they have that girly, boudoir-inspired feel, they actually look best when paired with something completely unexpected — like a sporty track jacket or a chunky granny sweater. That specific juxtaposition of the lush sage green silk and intricate lace against something a bit more rugged or oversized just works." — Alexis Bennett Parker, Director of Shopping Partnerships Dôen Iona lace-trimmed silk-satin shorts, $, available at Net-A-Porter Charlotte Tilbury Blush Balm Lip Tint "If you’re an R29 regular, you’ll know my makeup bag is made up of mostly Charlotte Tilbury products, so I’ve been excited to add the brand’s latest launch — the Blush Balm Lip Tint — to my collection. Think of it as the perfect blend of your most moisturizing lip balm and your favorite comfortable lip stain. It glides on effortlessly, delivering a glossy (but not sticky) sheen and a hit of pigment that makes lips look juicy and plump. As the balm dries down, the color lingers, leaving a softly diffused finish. Blushed Jam is my top pick for its just-bitten, blackberry‑esque tint." — Jacqueline Kilikita, Beauty Director Charlotte Tilbury PILLOW TALK BLUSH BALM LIP TINT, $, available at Charlotte Tilbury Creed Wild Vetiver Eau de Parfum "Creed’s Wild Vetiver is my new spring scent obsession. At first spritz, you’d expect something very green and crunchy, and while it’s certainly refreshing, the dry-down is sweeter and warmer than I anticipated — like all the best smells of a summer’s day: just-cut grass (that’ll be the vetiver), powdery roses, and ripe berries from blackcurrant bud. I’ve been wearing it ever since I discovered it a few weeks ago, and the compliments have been rolling in. Even better? It’s one of the longest‑lasting fragrances in my collection. I spritzed it onto the lapel of my trench weeks ago and it still lingers." — Jacqueline Kilikita, Beauty Director Creed Wild Vetiver Eau de Parfum, $, available at c, Nordstrom Dior Forever Skin Glow Foundation "Dior’s new Forever Skin Glow is first and foremost a foundation, but secondly, skincare thanks to oil-reducing niacinamide, hydrating hyaluronic acid, and peptides, essentially proteins that help moisturize, heal, and strengthen the skin. I think the phrase “wears like a second skin” is overused in beauty, but this is truly one of the most comfortable, skin-friendly foundations in my kit. The glow it lends is a subtle one, and doesn’t exacerbate my oily skin. What’s more, the medium coverage is enough to blur dark circles, breakouts, and skin staining left behind by pimples." — Jacqueline Kilikita, Beauty Director Dior Dior Forever Skin Glow Foundation, $, available at Nordstrom Essie Glass Nails Nail Polish "I’m taking a break from getting my gel manis and was intrigued when Essie released a new Glass Nails nail polish collection. This formula is the perfect balance of sheer, shiny, and quick drying. I usually swipe on two coats and love the glassy/glossy finish it leaves. And since it comes off easily with a swipe of acetone, I can change up my mani as easily as I change my outfits." — Lisa Dionisio, Newsletter Director Essie Nail Art Studio Glass Nails Collection, $, available at Ulta Beauty & Other Stories Hooded Anorak "As soon as I saw Saint Laurent’s spring/summer 2026 runway looks, I was obsessed with finding a similar anorak jacket. It’s giving ’90s pullover jacket nostalgia. One of my favorites is this one from & Other Stories in a muted orange color. Its clean design is the perfect complement to spring outfits — dressing it up with a skirt or down with some gym shorts for weekend errands. For those who dislike the ¾ zip style, this Lululemon full-zip jacket was a close second for me." — Lisa Dionisio, Newsletter Director & Other Stories Hooded Anorak, $, available at & Other Stories Rose & Ben Beauty D2 Complexion Brush "I had the chance to meet beauty educator Rose Siard at a recent industry event, and she was every bit as kind as you’d hope — then went above and beyond by sending me a box of brushes from her brand to test (see previous statement!). Out of the bunch, the clear standout is the D2, a dual-ended complexion brush that’s fully replaced every other foundation brush in my routine. I use the larger, fluffy end for an airbrushed finish with liquid foundation, and the smaller side (which mimics the shape of a fingertip) to tap and blend concealer. The synthetic bristles are unbelievably soft and feel incredibly luxe. Safe to say, I’m a fan for life." — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer Rose & Ben Beauty D2 Complexion Brush, $, available at Rose & Ben Beauty LORE Somewhere but nowhere Eau de Parfum "This fragrance is so special, I was tempted to gatekeep it — but it’s simply too good not to share. I’ve always loved LORE’s deeply personal, slightly enigmatic approach to scent (another favorite: Disfruta, which smells like a luxe citrus-mezcal cocktail at a fancy hotel bar), but Somewhere but nowhere feels especially magical. It blends warm cedarwood and vanilla with just a whisper of spicy cardamom, striking a balance between masculine and feminine. No single note steals the spotlight — the whole thing just works. And it lingers beautifully on hair and clothes; when I gave a sample to a friend, she told me it smelled like me. I could cry! — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer LORE Somewhere but nowhere Eau de Parfum, $, available at Sephora YSL Beauty Lovenude Lip Blusher Soft Blurring Lip Color "I wrote about the blurred makeup trend last year, and it shows no signs of slowing down — which is great news for me, because I happen to love it. YSL's Lovenude Lip Blusher is super creamy and smooth, and leaves a soft, diffused matte kiss of color that makes me feel like I'm an extra on Bridgerton – minus the Regency-era garb. My favorite shade is Mauve Haze, a stunning warm rose. And can we talk about this packaging? Reapplying it in public makes me feel like that girl." — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer Yves Saint Laurent Lovenude Lip Blusher Soft Blurring Lip Color, $, available at Sephora m.ph By Mary Phillips Le Skin Weightless Serum Foundation "Celebrity makeup artist Mary Phillips is the queen of cool-girl soft glam (see: Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber), so when she debuted a beauty brand last year, I was so excited to try it. I'm truly blown away by her sophomore launch, Le Skin. This is a gorgeous foundation. As the name suggests, the texture is lightweight and serum-like, and the finish looks truly undetectable: Think your skin, but better. The coverage is on the lighter side of light-to-medium, but buildable (and plays nice with the brand's Underpainting palette) if you crave extra coverage." — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer m.ph by Mary Phillips Le Skin Weightless Serum Foundation, $, available at Sephora Paige Stevie Straight Jean "As the seasons change, everyone talks about building a transitional wardrobe. And right now, my MVP is the Stevie Straight Jean from Paige. This dark-wash, high-rise straight leg looks and feels clean and classic. I’ll style it with a flowy blouse in the spring, a crop top in the summer, and a turtleneck come fall. It dresses up easily with boots or heels, but thanks to its comfort stretch and 98% cotton fabrication, it still feels soft and easy enough for all-day wear." — Raquel Reichard, Somos Deputy Director PAIGE Stevie Straight Jean, $, available at PAIGE Halara SoftlyZero Airy Dress "In March, Halara launched its Reece Weaver Edit, a collection of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader’s favorite styles. I’m currently living in the SoftlyZero Airy Dress in the shade fig, it’s the perfect work-from-home piece, elevated enough for daylong meetings and comfortable enough for my midday walks." — Raquel Reichard, Somos Deputy Director Halara SoftlyZero™ Airy Dress, $, available at Halara Wiskii Beyond Denim Dress "If you’re looking for activewear (or, let’s be honest, loungewear) that’s cute, movable, and hugs every curve just right, I’m really into Wiskii. Now, I know I’m a little late to the party, but this Vintage Grey A-line Denim Mini Dress — with built-in comfy shorts and all-day support — made me an absolute believer. As a Swiftie, knowing that Taylor Swift owns the same piece is just a bonus. Available in sizes ranging from small to extra large, it fits those who look like Tay and those who share my curvier build just as beautifully." — Raquel Reichard, Somos Deputy Director Wiskii Beyond Denim Dress, $, available at Wiskii Pacifica Barrier Defense Hypochlorous Acid Daily Spray "I’m all about hypochlorous acid sprays for reducing my skin's redness, preventing or treating breakouts, and refreshing after gym sessions. And this new Pacifica one is the latest I’ve tried and loved. I enjoy that it’s more of a light mist that doesn’t drench my face and especially that it’s fragrance-free since I have sensitive skin." — Victoria Montalti, Senior Fashion Commerce Writer Pacifica Beauty Defense Hypochlorous Acid Daily Spray, $, available at Pacifica Beauty Babaton Key Cotton Eira T-Shirt "This very well may be the perfect little white t-shirt. It’s so crisp, soft, and fits like a baby tee on me, which I love, especially when paired with high-waisted jeans. This new spring style is already low stock online, but Babaton offers tons of high-quality t-shirts to peruse." — Victoria Montalti, Senior Fashion Commerce Writer Babaton Key Cotton Eira T-Shirt, $, available at Aritzia Candice B-Low The Belt Croco Leather Belt "I’m absolutely obsessed with this statement belt, and so is everyone else who compliments me on it. The chocolatey leather is so glossy, and the buckle is so unique and different from anything I own. I love wearing it with a casual ‘fit paired with a matching leather bag and boots, or with a blazer and trousers for work." — Victoria Montalti, Senior Fashion Commerce Writer B-Low The Belt CANDICE CROCO LEATHER BELT, $, available at B-Low The Belt Casio Baby-G Watch & Heart-Shaped Holder "I’m officially a watch girl. And this convertible Casio watch is the cutest and most casual one in my collection. You can wear it as a regular watch, or take off the face and pop it into a rubbery heart-shaped holder to wear as a keychain or bag charm. I actually plan on hooking the heart-shaped holder with other baubles onto a belt for a last-minute Coachella outfit!" — Victoria Montalti, Senior Fashion Commerce Writer Casio BGD-10 Series BGD10KH-7, $, available at Casio Like what you see?

COPENHAGEN, DENMARK – AUGUST 7: a guest (left) is seen wearing a striped white button-down shirt, worn underneath an oversized light blue shirt; a colorful knit top underneath the shirt; high-waisted, knee-length wide denim shorts; white heeled sandals with a colorful monogram from Louis Vuitton; a bright yellow leather handbag with silver hardware, black-red details and violet shoulder straps; large gold hoop earrings; her blonde hair is worn loose, parted in the middle; a guest (right) is seen wearing a cropped brown leather jacket, layered over a pink graphic t-shirt; a white slip-style skirt with lace trim; brown leather clogs with metallic studs; the Graduate Jokes, classic brown monogram handbag with gold hardware from Louis Vuitton x Richard Prince; her blonde hair is worn loose with a middle part during the Filippa K show during Copenhagen Fashion Week day four on August 7, 2025 in Copenhagen, Denmark. (Photo by Moritz Scholz/Getty Images) I’ll admit it. There was once a time when I felt like every special outfit had to be paired with a stiletto. Thankfully, the fashion cycle has entered an era where teetering on stilettos is out. I’m finally fully embracing the functional-meets-sexy era and doing so in — dare I say it — clogs. Yes, the once orthopedic-recommended shoe is at the top of my shopping list. Of course, Chloé’s last couple of shows with Chemena Kamali at the helm certainly piqued my interest, making me fall in love with the delicious combination of frilly dresses paired with chunky shoes. But it was Louise Trotter’s sculptural take that made me finally hit add to cart. And it’s not just a runway moment. The street style scene is flooded with the chunky-sole shoe. Zendaya was recently spotted out and about with Tom Holland wearing slip-on clogs. Anne Hathaway also was photographed by paparazzi in a studded pair — the true star of the clog comeback. NEW YORK, NEW YORK – SEPTEMBER 15: A guest is seen wearing a brown Coach jacket, black top, white shorts, black shoes and black sunglasses outside the Coach show during womenswear NYFW Spring 2026 on September 15, 2025 in New York City. (Photo by Daniel Zuchnik/Getty Images) We can’t talk clogs without mentioning the OGs, Dr. Scholl’s. Not only have they been at it since 1924, they continue to find ways to make the click-clack wooden shoes feel more relevant than ever, most recently with a limited-edition collaboration with Wrangler. Between the dirt-kicking heritage of Wrangler and the orthopedic-chic legacy of Dr. Scholl’s, the latest crop of clogs feel both utilitarian and wildly cool. While the collection features the iconic open-toe Original Sandal in new colorways (including a striking red and a speckled, cow-print motif), the standout is the studded perforated suede and leather designs. I like to think of the hardware-adorned clogs as shoe candy, especially since they instantly dress up a simple outfit like a jeans-and-T-shirt combo. And what’s even better? Most designs offer the height and formality of a heel with the stability of a wedge or chunky kitten heel. That’s a win-win for all of spring and summer outfits. Like what you see?

When it comes to shopping for a new handbag, there are a lot of little details worth considering beyond pure aesthetics and asking yourself if it’s “cute” or not. From size and shape, to its material and intended use, this is not a purchase that should be taken too lightly, regardless of price point. So it makes sense why designers and brands are so particular about their pieces. Case in point, functionality seems to be the name of the game for this season’s handbag trends, to ensure it has the power to work hard in every shopper’s wardrobe. (The fact that they’re aesthetically pleasing is just icing on the cake.) Like most things in fashion right now, this season’s it bags fall into one of two categories. On one hand, following the popularity of slouchy silhouettes from last season, you have structure-less bags that are surprisingly spacious inside. On the other hand, you have trends of pure novelty with fruit-shaped clutches replacing the bird bags of yesteryear and viral vintage-inspired purses as seen on everyone’s favorite TV fashionista, Carrie Bradshaw. Although they’re two very different sides of the same coin, both deserve a spot in your spring wardrobe. Not yet convinced? Keep scrolling for a breakdown of the popular handbag trends of the season, along with the key pieces you’ll need to recreate the looks yourself. DashDividers_1_500x100 Soft Shoulder Bags PARIS, FRANCE – OCTOBER 06: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY – For Non-Editorial use please seek approval from Fashion House) A model, bag detail, walks the runway during the Miu Miu Womenswear Spring/Summer 2026 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on October 06, 2025 in Paris, France. (Photo by Peter White/Getty Images) If you are a fan of the bowler bags, then you’ll love the structure-less shape for 2026 just as much. Seoul-based brand and certified cool-girl label Margesherwood led the way with its slouchy dumpling bag, while Miu Miu and Loewe offered up styles made with supple suede and textured leather. The key is finding a style that’s spacious and malleable enough to fit all your essentials. Bonus points if you find one in one of the standout shades of the season like persimmon or turquoise. DashDividers_1_500x100 Drawstring Pouches PARIS, FRANCE – OCTOBER 02: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY – For Non-Editorial use please seek approval from Fashion House) A model, bag detail, walks the runway during the Isabel Marant Womenswear Spring/Summer 2026 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on October 02, 2025 in Paris, France. (Photo by Peter White/Getty Images) Drawstring pouches à la the Chloé runway are starting to replace the classic everyday crossbody, and these are the definition of cool yet functional. Whether it’s a slouchy pouch from Prada and Alessandro Michele’s embroidered design for Valentino or more structured silhouettes like the quilted Chanel 25 bag that shoppers can’t get enough of, these drawstring details are everywhere. Chloé even took a more artful approach with a pleated crossbody that looks just like a bouquet of flowers. DashDividers_1_500x100 Utility Belt Bags Whether you’re looking for hands-free options that work hard in your closet or are hoping to take your accessory game to the next level, a utility-style belt bag with multiple compartments is an absolute must and the spring 2026 runways are proof. London-based designer Johanna Parv took a more technical approach with “gorpcore” inspired designs, whereas Coperni and Julie Kegels leaned into utilitarian aesthetics. Pro tip: Find a style that will fit just the essentials — think keys, wallets, lip gloss, etc. DashDividers_1_500x100 Artisanal Seashells PARIS, FRANCE – OCTOBER 01: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY – For Non-Editorial use please seek approval from Fashion House) A model, bag detail, walks the runway during the Balmain Womenswear Spring/Summer 2026 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on October 01, 2025 in Paris, France. (Photo by Peter White/Getty Images) The change in the season (and weather) is your chance to experiment with different textures, which makes the timing of the seashell trend on the runways at Balmain and Ulla Johnson, among others, just so perfect. Whether you’re going to the beach or not, Simon Miller’s raffia tote is a great accompaniment for the months ahead and will add a little extra oomph to the most basic outfit. Simkhai offers a more literal take for minimalists hoping to embrace the trend with a shell-shaped clutch that oozes spring.

The resurgence of the YSL ‘Mamba’ bag –– in line with all the metal handles on the market –– is a prime example. Thankfully, that means you can participate in the trend with a style that has similar vibes. Consider adding top-handle bags with artful shapes to your cart for occasions, like spring weddings, that call for a little extra flair.

(Photo by Peter White/Getty Images) It’s almost as if every season, fashion picks a random everyday thing to create novelty bags around –– birds, vegetables, electronic devices. And this season, according to Giambattista Valli, Moschino, and Chanel, it’s all about fancy fruit clutches. If you’re looking to get in on the trend, Cult Gaia is known for its cheeky accessories, including a “bunch of grapes” bag, while the Maison de Sabre coin purse is a great way to dip your toe in before fully committing. DashDividers_1_500x100 Buckled Details PARIS, FRANCE – OCTOBER 04: A model walks the runway during the Hermès Ready to Wear Spring/Summer 2026 fashion show as part of the Paris Fashion Week on October 4, 2025 in Paris, France. (Photo by Victor VIRGILE/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images) In line with the utilitarian theme for spring, there are so many bags with statement buckles and they all look a little different, which means you’re bound to find one that works well for you. From dainty east-west satchels and slouchy shoulder bags, there are a slew of options that will get you through the season with your belongings intact.

Coach’s archival silhouette made a viral comeback on the runway, and then again on Sarah Jessica Parker in And Just Like That on Season 3. The vintage-inspired detail has been on the rise ever since. Off the runway, Edie Parker released an undie-inspired kisslock clutch that is an instant conversation starter a night out. Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here? These Spring Sneaker Trends Have Me Locked In The Best 2026 Handbag Trends To Carry Around The 9 Coolest Spring 2026 Jacket Trends
On a breezy week in March, I had the opportunity to touch down in Georgia for the Crown Royal x Realtree Kickback Experience to celebrate a new collaboration that truthfully may have got lost in my inbox. That is, until I found out that Love Island alumna and The Traitors winner Rob Rausch was the face of it! Yes, the snake-wrangling, denim overall-wearing, reality TV heartthrob that the internet is obsessed with is the face of the camouflage and whiskey brands’ new capsule collection. “A perfect fit,” Rausch says to me. Even more kismet, Crown Royal and Realtree tapped Rausch before knowing the outcome of Season 4 of The Traitors. His laidback nature and outdoor lifestyle were simply a match for the brands, which both value heritage, connection, and kicking back. Like Rausch (and his recent endeavors with MAC Cosmetics, DoorDash, Quinn, Celsius, Sonic, and more), clothing and gear brand Realtree is no stranger to notable collaborations, adding its iconic camouflage prints to the likes of Nike, Supreme, and even Skims (modeled by Post Malone) throughout the years. “When we looked at what Crown Royal has built around their brand – the tradition and the heritage — it was clear this wasn’t just a run-of-the-mill brand collab,” said Tyler Jordan, VP of strategic partnerships at Realtree in a press release. Meanwhile, this is Crown Royal’s first time creating a co-branded Crown Royal Fine Deluxe whiskey bottle pouch design (which I’ve since learned are deemed collectibles). “We always hear stories about what people do with their Crown Royal bags. For our first nationally distributed collaboration, it was important that we made something with the right partners that would be cool and collectible,” said Hadley Schafer, vice president at alcohol leader Diageo. “The result is a collection that reflects not only style, but also our shared appreciation for craftsmanship, time spent outdoors, and, of course, generosity.” In addition to the Crown Royal bag, the capsule collection includes a Crown Royal x Realtree T-shirt, hoodie, baseball cap, and 45-quart cooler. Crown Royal will also be donating at least $20,000 to the Purple Heart Foundation tied to this collection. And Rausch, while extremely humble — he was shocked that the likes of Olympian Alysa Liu and actor Daniel Radcliffe have introduced themselves since his Traitors fame — seemed happy to talk about the collab and to actually kick back (and escape from his press cycle) at Realtree Farms in Georgia. “Crown Royal is something I always tend to go to when I’m back at home, chilling with friends. Crown Royal lemonade,” Rausch told me. “Realtree being part of it is massive. And I love everything they’re about — being outdoors with wildlife is what it’s all about. What more do you need?” On a sunny day full of cornhole, fishing, tractor rides, campfires, Traitors talk, and an impromptu game of mafia (basically Traitors, which Rausch, as the gamer he is, prompted us to play), we celebrated and tested the new camo styles and whiskey cocktails. Rausch specifically called out Crown Royal lemonades as one of his favorite concoctions to drink. (And in case you’re wondering, he prefers his drinks neat, in red solo cups.) He also shared that he was excited to hand deliver the new coolers to his friends and family, and that he’s most likely to wear the new camo hat to go snake wrangling. When describing his ideal kickback, Rausch says: “One of the ways I like to relax — I love playing poker with friends back home. Pour myself a little Crown Royal and lemonade. Have a good time with the boys. And being home on the farm at the creek by myself. That’s when I feel most like myself.” In a press release, Rausch also added: “This partnership brings together the things I care about most, like being in nature, spending time with my people and enjoying great whisky. I’ve always been into camo, and everything in the collection fits both how I live and my personal style.” And by the end of the kickback experience, I truly couldn’t think of a more perfect or down-to-earth celebrity to represent Crown Royal and Realtree. Rausch says he wants to spend time back home in Alabama, settle down, and seemingly doesn’t want a chaotic celebrity lifestyle. He even explains that he probably wouldn’t join an all-stars version of The Traitors because he already has a “perfect record” and that, regarding the fan theories that he’ll join the next season of Dancing With The Stars, he doesn’t think he’d do it: “But never say never, you know?” Shop the full Crown Royal x Realtree collaboration Like what you see?

White sneakers are officially cancelled… Okay, not really, but this spring we are making space for more interesting shoe styles. This season, shoemakers and savvy shoppers alike are prioritizing sneakers that would make your average passerby stop and stare. New lines center on the whimsical and unexpected, featuring high-impact design elements, such as Mary Jane straps, luxe suede, and glossy patent faux leather. Alongside these vibey styles, several sneaker trends from the archives — like gorpcore, chaotic color blocking, and toe shoes — have, once again, taken their rightful place in the spotlight. “Nostalgic trends continue to grow,” Dana Cohn, Macy’s director of editorial content, tells Refinery29. “Slim, retro styles have been trending. There’s been a lot of elevated materials, like suede, in a variety of colors.” Though they certainly make an impression, these sneaker trends are surprisingly wearable (I can confirm, because I’ve already begun adding them to my closet). Keep reading for the most interesting spring sneakers to slip into. DashDividers_1_500x100 Shiny Silver PARIS, FRANCE – MARCH 08: A guest wears black pants and silver sneakers outside Lacoste show during Day Seven of Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Fall/Winter 2026/2027 on March 08, 2026 in Paris, France. (Photo by Raimonda Kulikauskiene/Getty Images) If there was one standout sneaker style to come from this latest fashion month, it would be metallic silver sneakers — hands down. Show-goers adopted the glitzy shoe trend across cities, leaning in particularly hard on the streets of Paris, France. Savvy American retailers are catching on, embracing sparkly footwear within their respective spring collections. “Silver has become more of an everyday look, versus a statement,” notes Cohn. The trend is so versatile, she says it can be worn with everything from punky styles to streetwear, but her personal favorite is “styled in contrast to denim and softer colors.” DashDividers_1_500x100 Toe Sneakers This time last year, the Nike Air Rift was nearly impossible to find in stores. The unconventional sneaker positively flew off the shelves and Nike responded with gusto. For the spring season, the athletic brand has amped up it’s distribution, supplying shoppers with multiple iterations and more than enough colorways to tide them over. Their popularity paved the way for other toe-centric sneakers — like Vibram’s FiveFingers style — to follow in their footsteps. Though originally released in the early 2000s, the kooky shoe style has returned to the mainstream for the first time in decades, rising to the top of every quirky girls spring shopping list. DashDividers_1_500x100 Luxe Suede PARIS, FRANCE – MARCH 05: A guest wears blue embroidered knot details knees socks, cream suede sneakers, outside Chloe, during Paris Fashion Week – Womenswear Fall/Winter 2026/2027, on March 05, 2026 in Paris, France (Photo by Edward Berthelot/Getty Images) Ever since Miu Miu released their viral New Balance collab in September 2025, suede has been on the rise, dominating designs across categories. Everything from trench coats to handbags to boots and skirts have gotten the frilly touch. Suede sneaker options multiplied overnight, cropping up in collections from high-end labels, such as Bottega Veneta, Dries van Noten, Isabel Marant, and, of course, Miu Miu’s sister brand, Prada. “We’re seeing a lot of suede sneakers in neutral and warm colors like tan, brown, blue, and burgundy,” says Cohn. “These are easy, everyday styles that feel really elevated.” And when styling these suede shoes, Cohn says it’s best to embrace their preppy nature by “mixing these with classic separates like denim, blazers, tees, and layered jewelry.” DashDividers_1_500x100 Mary Jane Sneakers MILAN, ITALY – FEBRUARY 26: A guest wears white sheer mesh long skirt with opaque panels and multicolor striped trim at the hem in white / brown / and green, white mesh and leather chunky Mary Jane sneakers shoes with tie bows and thick tread soles, outside Anteprima, during Milan Fashion Week – Womenswear Fall/Winter 2026/2027, on February 26, 2026 in Milan, Italy (Photo by Edward Berthelot/Getty Images) Mary Jane sneakers have dominated trend reports for the last four years running. Thankfully for MJ loyalists, the same will remain true in 2026 — and Cohn backs this up. According to her, the trend shows no signs of slowing down. “We’re still seeing Mary Jane sneakers, especially with sporty details like mesh,” she says. Just this week, Imade a trip to the shopping mecca, spotting no less than a dozen different styles on Macy’s shelves. Brands ran the gamut of price points and demographics, with styles available from Puma, Dolce Vita, Sorel, Vionic — I could go on. DashDividers_1_500x100 Chaotic Color Blocking TOKYO, JAPAN – MARCH 18: A guest is seen wearing multicolor sneakers during Rakuten Fashion Week Tokyo A/W 2026 on March 18, 2026 in Tokyo, Japan. (Photo by Mila Gruber/Getty Images) Dopamine dressing has officially reached the footwear space and shoe designers are prioritizing styles that spark joy and inspire child-like wonder. Sure, plain white sneakers remain a reliable staple, but recently, beloved brands such as Adidas, Saucony, Reebok, and more have begun intentionally embracing the most chaotic color stories imaginable. Burgundy and mustard, lime green and eggplant, electric violet and tangerine, pink and crimson — today’s trending color combinations seem to be chosen for no other reason than the fact that they clash fantastically. Introducing these delightfully deranged sneakers to one’s closet requires wearers to embrace whimsy within their wardrobes. Combine electric hues, graphic patterns, and mixed prints to make these sneakers feel right at home. TLDR; The more whimsical, the better. DashDividers_1_500x100 Patent Leather PARIS, FRANCE – JANUARY 24: A guest wears a pink quilted fabric skirt, white socks, Noir Kei Ninomiya metallic gold lace-up sneaker shoes with black laces and a black rubber sole, outside Kolor, during Paris Fashion Week – Menswear Fall/Winter 2026-2027, on January 24, 2026 in Paris, France (Photo by Edward Berthelot/Getty Images) If you’re looking for an up-and-coming spring sneaker trend to hop on before anyone else, look no further than patent pleather. Though its popularity pales in comparison to more mainstream styles, like suede and Mary Janes, glossy sneakers are slowly working their way into the footwear space. More “elevated materials,” as Cohn calls it, “have been trending,” making appearances on designs from Aldo, Adidas, Puma, and beyond. I just added a pair of patent leather Adidas Sambas to my own curated sneaker lineup — but believe me, this under-the-radar trend won’t be so for long. DashDividers_1_500x100 Gorpcore Revival COPENHAGEN, DENMARK – JANUARY 29: A guest wears Salomon sneakers outside Nicklas Skovgaard during the Copenhagen Fashion Week AW24 on January 29, 2024 in Copenhagen, Denmark. (Photo by Christian Vierig/Getty Images) Before there was cottagecore or balletcore or coquette, there was gorpcore. First coined in 2017, alongside the normcore craze, this function-focused look was one of the original social media aesthetics. Nearly a decade later, the trend cycle’s circular nature has swept the look back to the forefront, bringing its staple shoe style — hiking sneakers — along for the ride. Longtime activewear labels, such as Salomon and Merrell, will only continue to tighten their grip in the months to come, via several well-placed fashion collabs. This time around, however, they’re being adapted, not only by streetwear-loving hypebros, but by fashion girls as well. Said fashion girls will primarily pair these all-terrain shoes with juxtaposing pieces, like frilly sundresses and midi skirts, embracing a more eclectic vibe. Like what you see?

FRANKFURT AM MAIN, GERMANY – MARCH 26: Julia Kammerer is seen wearing a green and white striped button down blouse with a pointed collar and a chest pocket from JJXX; a baby blue knit sweater draped around her shoulders from Lily Silk; off white wide leg trousers with a relaxed fit from Lily Silk; leopard print sneakers with white stripe details from Adidas x Wales Bonner; a brown leather “Loha” tote bag with dual top handles and a shoulder strap from Green Pomme; a light blue claw clip attached to the bag handle from H&M; her jewelry includes chunky gold hoop earrings and gold tone stacked rings worn across multiple fingers from H&M, Pandora and My Jewellery; orange tinted aviator sunglasses with a thin black frame from Bershka; her blonde hair is styled in loose waves with a center part on March 26, 2026 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. (Photo by Moritz Scholz/Getty Images) Fluctuating spring weather poses a tricky dilemma to fashion girls everywhere, with temperatures being too cool for a mini skirt and tank top, yet too warm for a puffer coat and boots. The secret to mastering the complicated in-between? Transitional dressing. This intentional solution bridges the seasonal style gap, leaning into a lineup of both heavier pieces and lightweight styles that can easily be layered or removed. These versatile items not only mix textures and weights for peak adaptability, but a strategic color palette combines neutral winter hues and vibrant spring shades for a well-rounded tonal range. The result is a foolproof ensemble that withstands brisk mornings and sun-soaked afternoons alike, nixing the need for a last-minute outfit change. Airy cardigans, polished trench coats, versatile denim, and simple tees all meet the criteria, but knowing how to style each item is just as crucial as choosing the pieces themselves. The goal is to curate a layered look minus the bulk, leaning into breathable fabrics and sleek fits. But don’t be afraid to play with proportions; when done right, boxy jackets, oversized sweaters, and even flowing skirts add dimension to an outfit that proves you’re in the fashion know. Combining unlikely style elements is another approach, with spring-forward lace blouses and leather knee-high boots juxtaposing against one another for a statement look. Take hold of tricky weather this season with the below transitional outfit ideas, ranging from date-night ready ensembles to polished power dressing. Each combination is easy to achieve and delivers major style impact. Subtle Elegance MUNICH, GERMANY – MARCH 20: Marlies Pia Pfeifhofer is seen wearing a long camel brown suede leather „Clyde“ trench coat with a pointed collar, button fastening, wide sleeves and a straight, relaxed silhouette from Sézane; a black rib knit turtleneck top with a slim fitted silhouette from H&M; dark blue denim bermuda shorts with a straight knee length cut from Agolde; a slim dark brown leather belt with a gold tone buckle from Sézane; dark brown leather knee high „Georgina“ boots with a rounded toe, stacked block heel and structured shaft from GIABORGHINI; a structured burgundy leather „Elysée“ top handle bag with a sculptural fan shaped base, gold tone hardware, flap closure and shoulder handle from Michino Paris; slim oval sunglasses with a dark tortoiseshell acetate frame and tinted lenses from Corlin; a golden „Serpenti“ ring in a coiled snake design from Bulgari; tiny silver hoop earrings from Monica Vinader; her blonde hair is worn straight and loose in a sleek bob with a center part on March 20, 2026 in Munich, Germany. (Photo by Moritz Scholz/Getty Images) Airy jorts are often paired with thong sandals on tropical vacations, but the chic silhouette is brought into the interim with the help of knee-high boots and a lightweight knit. The longline top layer doesn’t only add style credibility but offers a hint of coziness. DashDividers_1_500x100 Power Prints FRANKFURT AM MAIN, GERMANY – MARCH 26: Julia Kammerer is seen wearing a green and white striped button down blouse with a pointed collar and a chest pocket from JJXX; a baby blue knit sweater draped around her shoulders from Lily Silk; off white wide leg trousers with a relaxed fit from Lily Silk; leopard print sneakers with white stripe details from Adidas x Wales Bonner; a brown leather “Loha” tote bag with dual top handles and a shoulder strap from Green Pomme; a light blue claw clip attached to the bag handle from H&M; her jewelry includes chunky gold hoop earrings and gold tone stacked rings worn across multiple fingers from H&M, Pandora and My Jewellery; orange tinted aviator sunglasses with a thin black frame from Bershka; her blonde hair is styled in loose waves with a center part on March 26, 2026 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. (Photo by Moritz Scholz/Getty Images) Built from wardrobe basics, this transitional outfit is simple yet powerful. A striped shirt and playful sneakers add just the right amount of coolness, while relaxed pants keep things polished and light. DashDividers_1_500x100 Weekend Edit MUNICH, GERMANY – MARCH 20: Amanda Mühle is seen wearing a khaki green bomber jacket with ribbed cuffs, a ribbed hem, a front zip closure and cropped silhouette from AllSaints; a red knit button front cropped cardigan with a V neckline from H&M; a white cotton T-shirt from Acne Studios; a white and blue small checked satin midi skirt with an A-line silhouette and a fluid drape from Zara; black leather ankle boots with a rounded toe, a chunky lug rubber sole from Vagabond; a “Monogram Medium Pelham Hobo” purse in beige and brown with dark leather trim, a woven leather top handle and gold tone hardware from Gucci; narrow slim rectangular black sunglasses with dark tinted lenses from Children of a glass god; multiple gold rings from Pilgrim; gold chunky hoop earrings from Sezáne; holding white wired earphones from Apple; her long dark brown hair is worn loose in soft waves with a center part on March 20, 2026 in Munich, Germany. (Photo by Moritz Scholz/Getty Images) Maxi skirts are often confined to summer, though intentional layering turns them into a multi-seasonal staple. A crewneck tee, button-up cardigan, and suede jacket do just that, creating a laid-back and versatile look. DashDividers_1_500x100 Date-Night Ready PARIS, FRANCE – OCTOBER 07: A guest wears hair pulled back into a sleek low bun with a center part, black rectangular sunglasses, gold-tone round earrings, a white leather bag shoulder bag with gold hardware handheld by a top handle, a long dark brown leather coat with a shirt collar and button front, a black silk camisole top with lace trim and cream wide-leg trousers, cream leather pointed-toe pumps shoes with a low kitten heel, outside AJE, during Paris Fashion Week – Womenswear Spring Summer 2026, on October 07, 2025 in Paris, France (Photo by Edward Berthelot/Getty Images) Nothing says spring like a pair of ecru jeans—but an asymmetrical lace cami raises the bar.

DashDividers_1_500x100 Polished Prep PARIS, FRANCE – MARCH 10: A guest wears a pink leather Miu Miu bag, a grey pleated high waist skirt, white long socks, grey leather pumps, a white top, black sunglasses and a white knitted Miu Miu cardigan outside Miu Miu show during Day Nine of Paris Fashion Week – Womenswear Fall/Winter 2026/2027 on March 10, 2026 in Paris, France.

We’re just 10 days away from Weekend 1 of Coachella (April 10 – 12), where music lovers will gather in Indio, California to dance the days and nights away with Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Karol G, and more artists. So if you’ve secured a ticket, but don’t have your festival outfits planned yet, we’re here to help. Coachella outfits are some of the most eccentric, Pinterest-worthy looks you’ll likely ever wear, but you can truly make them fit your personal style and music taste. Want to channel a western cowgirl or bohemian babe for the desert setting? Looking for something a bit punchier for the rave tents or rock performances? Feeling bright and glittery? There are so many aesthetics you can try for a music festival, so we’re offering inspiration (and product recommendations). From matching sets, denim trends, and graphic tees to headscarves, combat boots, and statement sunglasses, there are tried-and-true festival fashion staples you’ll want to have in your arsenal. So, whether you’re looking for last-minute Coachella outfits for Weekend 1, cementing your Weekend 2 look, or planning ahead for the rest of festival season, read on to cart up your favorite pieces and build a statement-making look. DashDividers_1_500x100 Rock ‘N’ Roll Star If you’re going to Coachella to see The Strokes, Iggy Pop, and Interpol, you’ll need a rockstar-worthy outfit for these rock-heavy performances. To look edgy and effortlessly cool, grab outfit staples like leather jackets, denim shorts, and combat boots. We’re loving studded styles across clothing and accessories for a punk touch. And adding a graphic tee or merch from your favorite band is the perfect finishing touch to celebrate their music. DashDividers_1_500x100 Western Cowgirl Whether you’re tuned into country artists or not, western aesthetic has become synonymous with music festival style. From cowboy boots and hats to double-denim and suede fringe, cowgirl staples are a tried-and-true way to dress up for festivals. Stick to a denim matching set or mix in crochet pants or a suede jacket to break up the look. Then throw on a bandanna or cow print handkerchief as an accessory that can double as a face mask to keep the dirt and dust away. DashDividers_1_500x100 Bohemian Babe Get a blend of OG Woodstock style and mid-aughts Vanessa Hudgens vibes by pairing flowy pieces with tons of accessories to make you feel and look like a whimsical hippie or fairy. For this nostalgic-heavy aesthetic, look for vintage-inspired pieces (if you don’t have the time to go thrift shopping) in more earthy tones with tons of texture. Think: ruffles, lace, mesh, and crochet. And you can’t go wrong with motifs like paisley and florals. DashDividers_1_500x100 Rave-Club Chic If you’re hoping to spend most of your time in the Yuma and Sonora tents dancing to DJs and transcending into the rave experience, then you should opt for moody or neon styles — as long as they’re super comfortable. To ensure you can dance the days away, check out the official Coachella x Loops earplugs to protect your ears, wear a funky pair of shades to take reprieve from strobe lights, slip into chunky platform sneakers that won’t make your feet instantly hurt, and — again, if you don’t have time to make your own — buy a pack of Kandi bracelets to swap with strangers. DashDividers_1_500x100 Music Mermaid Even though Coachella is set in the desert, you can still manifest mermaid vibes through your outfit. We promise you’ll want to stay as cool, ethereal, and breezy as possible in the 100-degree temps. It’s the perfect excuse to break out your favorite swimwear to wear under crochet, netted, or mesh layers (like coverups). Opt for bright colors and patterns as well as shimmery, iridescent accessories to get the mermaid effect. A pair of jelly flats are also a better alternative to backless, toes-out sandals. DashDividers_1_500x100 Disco Darling If you really like making a celebratory statement with your outfits (or just love headliner Sabrina Carpenter’s aesthetic), consider a ‘70s-era disco moment. For this vibe, you can either go for high-shine fabrics, sequins, and metallic colors, or try psychedelic prints and bug-eye sunglasses. While a full-on jumpsuit may not be the easiest or breeziest style for a festival, you can still wear bedazzled maxi dresses, patterned rompers, and sparkly hot pants to get the disco effect.

Everything I Wore To My First Music Festival The Moody, Romantic Dresses Defining Spring 2026 16 Fresh Spring Haircut Trends To Inspire You
I’ll start with a confession: I am not the “CBK-obsessed” fashion girly. While the internet has been spiraling over her legacy lately — fueled by Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette — I’ve mostly watched the hype from the sidelines. But curiosity eventually won, and it led me straight to my new favorite pair of jeans. In my seemingly never-ending quest to find the perfect pair of jeans, I decided to investigate the CBK hype, and went straight to the source: AKA, Calvin Klein’s SoHo flagship in NYC. Calvin Klein isn’t just a brand Carolyn worked for; it’s the label she most famously turned to for the effortless, minimalist uniform that defined her. I wanted to see if the ’90s Straight Jean, a pair many claim were her personal holy grail, could actually live up to the decades of myth-making. The Fit: A Win for the Tall Girls The Soho store is bright, airy, and — blessedly — the fitting rooms actually have great lighting (see the selfies for proof). As a tall girl with a toned build, I usually go into denim fittings with low expectations. I have long legs, hips, and a butt, and usually straight jeans end up looking like high-waters on me. Surprisingly, the length on the ’90s Straight Jeans is incredible. They hit exactly at the ankle. Because of the elongated waist, they created a visual line that made my legs look miles longer. Edited with PrettyUp Quality Over Everything Although the streamlined minimalist silhouette defined the ’90s, these don’t feel like an era-constrained trend at all, especially the way baggy or skinny jeans might. One thing to note: There is zero stretch here. If there is any, it’s completely unnoticeable. I personally love this because I can’t stand it when jeans lose their shape after two hours and start looking like a potato sack. Beyond the aesthetic, I’ve become much more conscious of what I put on my body, not just what I put in it. As someone focused on health and longevity, the fabric composition matters. I was thrilled to see these are 100% cotton. There’s a peace of mind that comes with wearing natural fibers, especially pants that hug the body. A Note for the Petite: The ’90s Loose Jeans While I was there, I also pulled the ’90s Loose jeans on for comparison. These offer a slightly curvier, almost subtle barrel silhouette. While they didn’t have the puddle length I crave, they are a fantastic option for someone more petite or shorter, as they have a slightly cropped fit. They also feature a fun CK embroidery on the back pockets that adds a nice pop to classic denim. Edited with PrettyUp It’s rare to find a good pair of jeans that actually holds up under the bright lights of a fitting room and in the real world, but these surprised me. For me, the win isn’t just the leg-lengthening fit or the perfect ankle crop — it’s the fact that they’re 100% cotton and built to last. In a world of fast-fashion trends, there’s something really satisfying about investing in a forever piece. Leaving Soho with my new jeans in hand, I realized I might not be a CBK historian, but I’ve definitely joined the cult of her favorite denim brand. These jeans aren’t just a nostalgic throwback; they’re the type of jeans that make you stop and stare at your reflection each time you pass it, the type of jeans that make you want to strut down the sidewalk like you’re the main character in a music video. So, yeah, catch me wearing them on repeat until further notice. Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?

PARIS, FRANCE – MARCH 10: A guest wears a beige and denim midi high waist skirt, a white lace top, a brown leather bag, gold hoop earrings and a beige cropped trench outside Ujho show during Day Nine of Paris Fashion Week – Womenswear Fall/Winter 2026/2027 on March 10, 2026 in Paris, France. (Photo by Valentina Frugiuele/Getty Images) New York City sits at the epicenter of fashion, and living in the Big Apple allows me to spot notable trends before they go mainstream. While I’m always eager to forecast a style shift, a change in weather is an even better reason—and seemingly overnight, one standout essential has shown up on the backs of every It girl: trench coats. The khaki jackets aren’t anything new, but this season the fashionistas are redefining the style with updated proportions, cuts, and fabrics. And while the classic long-line design will never go out of style, bubble hemlines, sculpted collars, abbreviated lengths, and leather finishes are defining the moment and taking over the sidewalks. These modern iterations will not only elevate your spring jacket collection, but they’re practical for navigating transitional-dressing season. Trench coats are lightweight, built for layering, and adjustable in styling—all while protecting against fluctuating weather. So, go ahead and toss your favorite upgraded version in your work bag or suitcase for a do-it-all jacket that offers protection on demand. Skip the boring trench and opt for a contemporary version that seamlessly mixes tradition with style. I plan on wearing my favorite pick with capris and wedge sandals this warm-weather season, while easy knits and modern ballet flats make for a chic fashion moment. Better yet, this season’s heroic trench coat trends are both timeless and undeniably modern. The core details remain the same, tapping into effortless polish and enduring design legacy. Ahead, discover the five trench coat styles taking over spring. You’re bound to fall in love with at least one, if not more. The Modern Classic PARIS, FRANCE – MARCH 08: Angela Baidoo wears a beige trench coat over a black bra top with high-waisted beige wide-leg trousers and a white patterned waistband detail, oversized brown sunglasses, gold hoop earrings, a gold chain necklace, carries a black handbag and wears yellow snakeskin pointed shoes outside Akris during Day Seven of Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Fall/Winter 2026/2027 on March 08, 2026 in Paris, France. (Photo by Raimonda Kulikauskiene/Getty Images) There’s no denying the allure of a classic trench coat. However, today’s hero silhouettes give the timeless jacket a 2026 update; details like drop shoulders, voluminous silhouettes, and effortless draping (thanks to waist-cinching belts). TL;DR: It’s the refined separate every capsule wardrobe needs. The Bubble Revival PARIS, FRANCE – MARCH 08: A guest wears black sunglasses, a red cotton belted jacket with puffy waist, black fitted knees leggings, a black leather bag, black leather pointed pumps heels shoes, outside Magda Butrym, during Paris Fashion Week – Womenswear Fall/Winter 2026/2027, on March 08, 2026 in Paris, France (Photo by Edward Berthelot/Getty Images) Inject fun into the mix with a voluminous hemline that adds dimension to your look. The fashion-forward silhouette has captured the attention of designers like Chloé and Loewe, with classic lapels, wraps, and dramatic necklines solidifying its place as a head-turner. The Sculpted Neckline PARIS, FRANCE – MARCH 07: Blanca Arimany wears dark brown hair, a beige wool double breasted trench coat, a dark brown leather pencil knees skirt, a dark red crocodile embossed pattern leather handbag, black leather pointed pumps heels shoes, outside Elie Saab, during Paris Fashion Week – Womenswear Fall/Winter 2026/2027, on March 07, 2026 in Paris, France (Photo by Edward Berthelot/Getty Images) Speaking of dramatic necklines, funnel collars are quickly rising in popularity. The statement detail adds a bold, sharp touch to any ensemble—and if it were up to me, I’d unofficially name it the cool girl of trench coats. The Cropped Edit PARIS, FRANCE – MARCH 10: A guest wears a beige and denim midi high waist skirt, a white lace top, a brown leather bag, gold hoop earrings and a beige cropped trench outside Ujho show during Day Nine of Paris Fashion Week – Womenswear Fall/Winter 2026/2027 on March 10, 2026 in Paris, France. (Photo by Valentina Frugiuele/Getty Images) Less is more when it comes to micro trench coats, leaning into boxy cuts that hit at the waist or higher. Studded belts, shoulder pads, and balloon sleeves rework proportions for an intentionally off-kilter effect, while pared-back designs are undoubtedly chic. The Luxe Leather Trench VIENNA, AUSTRIA – MARCH 16: Karin Teigl is seen wearing a lime green collared Zara top with buttons, a long light blue H&M trench coat, and loose-fitting light wash Agolde denim pants with a crossover waistband detail. She also wears bright red pointed-toe Prada flats, a Kijima Takayuki red beanie, Chanel rimless shades, and carries a small black-and-white spotted Coperni shoulder bag on March 16, 2026 in Vienna, Austria. (Photo by Jeremy Moeller/Getty Images) Leather isn’t reserved for winter; it seamlessly transitions into spring. Longer silhouettes can be worn open="open" for a breezy effect, while belted, peplum styles offer a lighter approach. For a true spring mood, lean into vibrant hues. Like what you see?

This season, we’re developing a deep yearning for an unrequited love — and dressing accordingly. Following the release of Wuthering Heights and the coinciding press tour, which saw a parade of Victorian-inspired slays from leading lady Margot Robbie, fashion trends have taken a turn for the moody and romantic. Though spring collections typically center candy colors and Easter-coded prints (florals, gingham, etc.), designers are leaning in the opposite direction. Instead of the usual tired motifs, new releases are pulling themes from the most stylish periods of fashion history: from the Regency Era à la Bridgerton to the roaring ’20s, all the way up to Y2K. As a result, 2026 spring dress trends are paying homage to the best vintage influences fashion has to offer. Antique-inspired trends include silk fringe, scarf details, and drop-waist silhouettes — design details that Caroline Maguire, Shopbop’s Senior Fashion Director, says “add that soft, romantic feel, with a bit of that Wuthering Heights mood. When it’s done well, it’s actually incredibly wearable and easy to incorporate into your everyday wardrobe.” In short: these are the spring dresses you’ll yearn for. DashDividers_1_500x100 Polka Dots Polka dots are one of fashion’s most timeless prints, but this spring, the iconic motif has been effectively reinvented. Taking notes from Scandinavian style influencers, designers have begun adapting the look in more whimsical ways. These aren’t your typical polka dot dresses — think mixed prints and interesting proportional play, combined with ruffles, rosettes, and more. Take Area’s runway, for example. “We’re seeing more polka dots in larger, more exaggerated scales, which gives them a slightly bolder, more fashion-forward feel,” says Maguire. “Brands are also pairing dots [with] other patterns — like florals or stripes — which makes it feel more unexpected.” DashDividers_1_500x100 Vintage Fringe NEW YORK, NEW YORK – FEBRUARY 13: A model walks the runway for the Ulla Johnson fashion show during New York Fashion Week on February 13, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images) Bringing the roaring ’20s squarely into this century, designers like Area, Harris Reed, Ulla Johnson, and more are embracing the silk fringe that defined the flapper era. And the effects of this are already popping up in shopping carts and on red carpets alike. Take the 2026 Oscars after-parties, for example, where fringe took a leading role. Everyone from actress Odessa A’zion to pop star Dua Lipa came dressed in the stuff — A’zion in silky black fringe and Lipa in a golden beaded gown. And while your everyday iterations are much more wearable, the look brings an element of Old World glamour to even the simplest spring dress silhouette. DashDividers_1_500x100 Drop-Waist NEW YORK, USA – FEBRUARY 11: A model walks the runway during the Cinq A Sept Ready to Wear Fall/Winter 2026-2027 fashion show as part of the New York Fashion Week on February 11, 2026 in NY. (Photo by Victor VIRGILE/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images) Cinq à Sept and Fforme are the most recent brands to send romantic, drop-waist dresses down their respective runways — but they certainly weren’t the first. The look has been picking up speed for several years running, but thanks to one Catherine Earnshaw — played by Margot Robbie — the antique-inspired look will most certainly reach a fever pitch, once the warm weather officially takes hold. Though Wuthering Heights showed a more elaborate, gothic-inspired interpretation of the drop-waist dress trend, shoppable versions are much more low-key. Available in fabrics like linen and voile, these modern takes feel appropriate for everything from boozy brunch to date night. DashDividers_1_500x100 Scarf-Included NEW YORK, NEW YORK – FEBRUARY 13: A model walks the runway for the 7 For All Mankind FW26 fashion show during New York Fashion Week at the Starrett-Lehigh Building on February 13, 2026 in New York City. (Photo by Victor Pagan/Getty Images) If you would have told me that 7 For All Mankind would host the buzziest New York Fashion Week show of the season, I would have laughed in your face. But alas, the iconic denim retailer had editors positively gagged when they sent a 2000s-coded model down the runway in a silky bubble dress (more on that ahead) and a skinny scarf. Trust me, in the coming months everyone will be copying this look. Retailers are already catching on, with cult favorite brands, such as Reformation, Never Fully Dressed, Quince, and Mango stocking their virtual shelves with silky spring dresses that come with matching scarves. To style the look, fashion girls are pulling inspiration from minimalist ’90s culture, pairing their co-ords with strappy sandals and an elegant up-do. DashDividers_1_500x100 Paillette Sequins NEW YORK, USA – FEBRUARY 15: A model walks the runway during the Sandy Liang Ready to Wear Fall/Winter 2026-2027 fashion show as part of the New York Fashion Week on February 15, 2026 in NY. (Photo by Victor VIRGILE/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images) Fashion’s most delightfully tacky trend has taken an elegant, more understated turn for spring. Labels like Christian Siriano, Area, and Maryll Rogge are rejuvenating the classic sequined look using transparent palettes. The design trick makes sparkle feel much more wearable — not only for nights out, but for everyday occasions as well. Maguire says she’s “been loving a palette sequin this season” — as have her shoppers. “Something new for palettes is how they’re coming through in really vibrant, saturated colors, especially in matching sets,” she says. DashDividers_1_500x100 High-Volume NEW YORK, USA – FEBRUARY 14: A model walks the runway during the Aknvas Ready to Wear Fall/Winter 2026-2027 fashion show as part of the New York Fashion Week on February 14, 2026 in NY. (Photo by Victor VIRGILE/Gamma-Rapho via Getty Images) It’s about time women started unapologetically taking up space and spring dress trends do just that. Exaggerated hips, overlarge padded detailing, and voluminous bubble skirts dominated recent runway collections, from brands like Collina Strada, Meruert Tolegen, Aknvas, and beyond. Maguire, meanwhile, says the trend truly “resonates with the Shopbop customer.” She tells Refinery29: “We’re seeing a lot of momentum around really interesting proportions, specifically with more voluminous skirts and tops.” According to her, the trend toes the line between simplicity and trend-forward. “There’s a sense of ease to it, but it still feels directional,” she says.

It’s that time of year again when we’ve kissed an hour of sleep goodbye in exchange for longer moments with the sun. That means it’s also time to pack up your puffers and wool coats in preparation for breezy spring weather. While some categories of clothes may be in an anti-trend, classic era, like denim, jackets are doing the complete opposite. They’re full of fun, personality, and an air of cool. The hottest jacket styles this spring do everything from putting twists on a classic piece to reimagining a traditional silhouette. A trench coat? It’s no longer the long, khaki staple but chopped to a shorter proportion and made with fresh materials. Funnel neck coats, which swept the scene last fall, continue their reign. Many of these have trickled down from runways, while others are driven by broader cultural moments. “There’s a real focus on versatility. Jackets have become the outfit, not just the finishing layer,” Sarah Bonello, founder of The Park, tells Refinery29. “There’s a desire to feel put-together but not overworked. That’s why you’re seeing these more relaxed, layering-friendly silhouettes like trenches and capes. There’s also a shift toward more intentional dressing, fewer pieces, but styled in a way that feels thoughtful.” Read on to discover the coolest spring jacket trends to shop as you start refreshing and revamping your closet, with some tidbits from our favorite fashion people. Plus, peruse our top shopping picks, from more affordable to designer options. DashDividers_1_500x100 Capes and Capelets In the midst of fashion’s romance revival, it makes sense that capes would come back into the limelight. “They bring this sense of movement and quiet drama that feels fresh,” Bonello says. The style feels inextricably linked to fantasy and costume, whether that’s Cate Blanchett playing a seraphic elf in Lord of the Rings or Marilyn Monroe’s cheeky cheetah cape in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. It’s no surprise that famously whimsical and romantic designers like Alessandro Michele featured capes on his Spring/Summer 2026 Valentino runway; Jonathan Anderson also showed them in his debut show. These regal-feeling jackets can pair well with just about anything, whether we’re talking a khaki cropped cape with jeans or a sweeping cape worn over a matching set. Their more subdued interpretation, capelets, are also trending. DashDividers_1_500x100 Trench Coats With a Twist As fashion photographer Sophie Elgort tells Refinery29, “The trench is a forever piece. It evolves each season but never disappears.” And this spring, trench coats typically go one of two routes: they’re cropped (very petite-friendly) or have a freaky detail. One of the easiest ways to achieve the spring 2026 trend is by simply cropping the traditional trench coat into something that hits at the hips or slightly above. “The proportions are magic and do all the work. Defined waist and legs for days,” designer and creator Carla Rockmore tells Refinery29 on the cropped trench look. “Then, you have all those delicious details: buttons, cuffs, a self-belt, which makes it feel intentional without trying too hard.” This spring is also all about trench coats with tweaks to their lapels, like swapping in a shiny leather or checkered fabric for the classic gabardine. These little changes add an edgy and playful touch to something timeless. DashDividers_1_500x100 Boxy Blazers We may have colloquially kissed “girlboss” goodbye, but we certainly haven’t stopped power dressing. This spring’s boxy blazers are distinct from well-tailored jackets that hug the body and highlight the waist. Instead, these spacious and oversized versions don’t constrain movement, but let the body move more freely. This means comfort is built into this style, which projects authority and confidence. We witnessed these rise from runways like Victoria Beckham and Acne Studios to our favorite street style moments. “I’ve been really inspired by how tailoring is becoming softer and more fluid. Blazers are effortless,” Bonello says. “I’ll throw one on with our Joy leggings or even just a simple Park bodysuit, and it instantly makes the look feel more considered without trying too hard. It’s one of those pieces that does the work for you.” DashDividers_1_500x100 Feminized Bombers Bomber jackets never lost their appeal, but they seem to be caught up in the wave of those 2016 nostalgic-driven trends coming back ten years later. But today, it’s not just about the classic, cool-girl leather bomber. There are also some other fabrications in the mix, like bubble hem cottons and slinky nylons. When Chloé Creative Director Chemena Kamali revealed her own flouncy bombers in her Spring/Summer 2026 collection, she framed her design process as one takes out all the stiffness.” No wonder the trendiest bombers this season balance the classic leather look with something more contemporary and feminine. DashDividers_1_500x100 Tech Jacket Takeover Sporty jackets and windbreakers are classics in their own right, but they’ve gotten fashion makeovers as an unmissable moment on Spring/Summer 2026 runways like Loewe’s. “There’s a continued shift toward casual chic. We still want comfort, but we’re no longer willing to look careless. It’s ease, but with polish and intention,” Rockmore says. Tech jackets are often defined by their outer shell, which is usually weather resistant thanks to their performance-based material, and can take on a myriad of aesthetics. Today’s hottest options range from sporty drawstring styles to those inspired by anoraks. DashDividers_1_500x100 Workwear-Inspired Jackets Workwear jackets have long been staples of, well, exactly that: work. But they’ve increasingly made their mark in fashion, particularly “as they’ve moved from designer to contemporary, which makes them feel more everywhere,” Elgort says. Miu Miu’s Spring/Summer 2026 show, which was widely discussed for its aprons, was a perfect example of this style of jacket’s power over fashion today. This spring, utility-forward styles like field jackets, barn jackets, and chore jackets are reigning supreme. All their pockets and how easily they layer make these designs easy favorites. Beyond their advantages in functionality, Elgort adds, they “look cool on camera.” DashDividers_1_500x100 No Waist Zone Some boxy styles may be trending this spring, but a tailored waist is very much alive. This is great news for someone who likes to play with shape and lines in their outfits. For example, a snatched waist works wonders with wide-leg jeans or a longer, loose skirt because it achieves balance. The best part of the snatched-in look is that it has no limits: You can find this detail across various jacket styles, from utility-inspired pieces to denim jackets. DashDividers_1_500x100 Time for Tweed Tweed seems to be going through what some are calling the Matthieu Blazy effect. The woolen fabric is experiencing a spring revival thanks to the French designer and Chanel’s creative director. When his first collection hit Chanel boutique shelves mid-March 2026, it was total “pandemonium” and has already inspired a new wave of creators to put together tweed-y, runway-inspired looks. Blazy’s playful and colorful designs are, no doubt, front and center. Tweed is naturally not the lightest material, which is why it’s such a staple for fall and a solid choice for the current transitional weather. For a style that can flex days swinging between freezing temps and cool breezes, go for long sleeves. If shopping for a tweed jacket to carry you from spring into summer, look for airy styles that might, for example, have short sleeves. DashDividers_1_500x100 Funnel Neck Jackets By far, one of the biggest trend to hit spring outerwear comes from one small detail: a funnel neck. These coats can range in silhouette and fabrication, but they’ve all got a structured, high neck in common. We’ve seen these across street style and runways, like at Tory Burch and Chloé. It’s easy to embrace the unarguable “cool” feeling that comes with rocking this look, topped off best with a pair of opaque shades. Like what you see?

Photo Credit: Joey Andrew Ballet flats are undoubtedly one of this season’s defining trends, with the dainty footwear taking over storefronts, closets, and sidewalks alike. Whether rendered as slingbacks, wrap-ties, or Mary Janes, the preppy silhouette is always chic and inherently sweet. But now, a more sophisticated (and dare I say edgy) variation has entered the chat: V-cut flats. Major fashion houses can be credited for the surge in angular vamps, with the Chanel pre-fall collection, full of sharp two-tone iterations and Stella McCartney’s spring runway featuring ruby-red takes. These designs prove that the streamlined footwear can take on softer, rounded cuts or dramatic, pointed uppers—much like V-neck sweaters, where some dips are deep and others are barely noticeable. Still, it remains a tapered cut, where the tiniest detail makes all the difference. But the footwear trend didn’t start or end on the catwalk. Hollywood It girls have been donning ballet shoes like clockwork, with Kendall Jenner spotted in a black-seamed pair styled alongside an athleisure set. Meanwhile, Zoë Kravitz wore her own V-cut shoes with a flowing dress, and Katie Holmes styled hers with a tiered maxi skirt and simple tee. The wide range of style aesthetics proves how versatile the geometric footwear is, seamlessly integrating into a range of wardrobes—even for those of us who aren’t followed by the paparazzi. V-cut flats aren’t only closet friendly, but they’re chameleon-like. Whether you’re headed to the office, grabbing rooftop drinks, or are jet-setting off to your next getaway, the multi-purpose style adapts to a variety of occasions. The appeal lies in the footwear’s streamlined look, consisting of sleek lines, staple hues, and polished details. Both luxury designers and more accessible options are also up for grabs, ensuring everyone can find their perfect V-cut flats, no matter the budget. The Row Stella Leather Slippers offer a chocolate-brown glove version, while the Reformation Blaine Flats deliver a minimalist approach. Maximalists may gravitate towards the Anthropologie corset shoes or the Khaite embroidered Marcy Flats. If you’re ready to add a pair of polished V-cut flats to your lineup, the below picks are sure to impress. Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?
As fashion moves away from the clutches of “quiet luxury” and minimalist beige looks, footwear is feeling more fun than ever. In fact, shoes are in their freaky era. “Everyone is embracing their whimsy. We’ve moved past quiet luxury, and we’re even numb to logo mania. Style right now is about self-expression, individuality, and having fun with what you wear,” designer Larissa Muehleder tells Refinery29 of what’s defining today’s shoe trends. This spring, the coolest kicks are a spirited extension of the self, whether they’re a classic silhouette made with a non-traditional material or a retro style that’s been reborn. We’re not just talking about Tabis, traditionally Japanese footwear with a split-toe, which have been popularized by Maison Margiela. Instead, this season’s eccentric styles toy with the familiar to create something fresh, whether they came from a runway or seem more inspired by street style. Read on for the top shoe trends that will dominate the transitional season, like high-vamp heels on the brink of a viral explosion thanks to Chanel’s revival, as well as playfully embellished styles that make florals actually feel groundbreaking for spring. DashDividers_1_500x100 Low-Profile Sneakers We’re in an era of “minimalist and slim sneakers that are more so lifestyle silhouettes and not designed for working out,” according to women’s sports expert and editor Vinciane Ngomsi. Rather than the bejeweled kicks or chunky dad shoes of recent years, today’s favorite sneakers have gone back to basics, usually championing a slim, low profile that feels reminiscent of nostalgic styles. In the same vein, ballerina sneakers — often shortened to “sneakerinas” and also made with thin soles — are having their moment amid this retro-style revival. “There’s a softness and romanticism that continues to evolve in really fresh ways with this [ballet-inspired] aesthetic, and it takes us back to the dance aerobics of the ‘80s,” Muehleder says. DashDividers_1_500x100 Strappy Sandals Strappy sandals, with or without heels, are a reliable springtime classic, at least when “fake spring” is over. What makes the look stand out today is how it’s been tweaked from the typically neutral-hued leather version to something more personality-forward. The coolest strappy sandals right now feature dainty straps, colorful finishes, and jewelry-inspired details. “Even with simpler outfits, people want one piece that feels like a conversation starter and right now, that piece is either the handbag or the shoe,” stylist and Vin. designer Claudia Li Johnson says. Strappy sandals are an easy way to get the job done. DashDividers_1_500x100 High-Vamp Heels Interestingly, a more modest-looking heel has been taking over fashion. Enter, high-vamp heels, distinct for their uppers that cover a noticeable amount of the top of the foot. These, also known as glove pumps, are no longer your grandma’s heels. Instead, today’s versions of these vintage-inspired shoes are being made to feel fresh as designers reimagine them in funky colors and singular heel shapes. Chanel — which seems to have been on the lips of all the fashion girls when its spring collection hit shelves mid-March, designed by Creative Director Matthieu Blazy — gave the look a boost thanks to its own array of high-vamp heels. DashDividers_1_500x100 Breathable Ballet Flats: Mesh, Jelly, & Crochet The mesh ballet flat moment may have first exploded years ago, thanks to then-creative director Pieter Mulier’s new Alaïa design, but the look is still going strong, albeit with modifications. Breathable, sheer styles remain trendy this spring, and it’s not just about mesh anymore. Jelly and crochet, which tend to channel a more fun and colorful vibe, are now dominating. Getting ballet flats in jelly materials can also be a lifehack for saving cash when buying designer. After all, they tend to be the cheaper option when looking for a “luxury” version of the ballet flat. For example, just look at Jimmy Choo’s jelly flat that retails for $495 in comparison to a similar style made in leather that sells for $950. DashDividers_1_500x100 Slingback Spring It’s a slingback spring. Though the heeled design of these shoes seems antithetical to comfort, these are a favorite for exactly that reason. Thanks to their mostly open foot and typically lower heel, slingbacks are a great choice for that in-between weather where you still want to walk with ease. “As a designer, it genuinely makes me happy to see women embracing their inner child,” Muehleder, who launched her eponymous line in 2014, says. “Authenticity doesn’t have an age limit. Style comes from what ignites joy in you, not what you think is expected of you.” There’s no one right way to wear slingbacks. Pick your color and heel height based on what feels best for your personal style. A butter yellow slingback with a kitten heel does just as well as a designer pair that’s slightly taller with bows sewn onto the sides. DashDividers_1_500x100 Peep-Toe Mules Heels this spring will strongly feature a flash of toe, but rather than full-on pumps, it’s all about mules. These trendy peep-toe styles shine best in buttery leathers, decadent satins, and shimmery patents. For Li Johnson, this shoe’s appeal is in the balance between its jolt of newness with what’s familiar. “It feels less expected than a classic pump, but just as easy to wear,” she adds. DashDividers_1_500x100 Thong Sandals Flip flops have cast a spell on today’s fashion scene. These thong heels inspired by the classic, relaxed warm-weather shoe seem to be everywhere. Designer labels like Balenciaga and Michael Kors made them a focal point in footwear on their respective Spring/Summer 2026 runways. The best part? Trendy thong sandals don’t all look one way. There’s a great diversity in the shoppable shapes, fabrications, and finishes of this style. Each can be its own conversation starter. DashDividers_1_500x100 The Embellished Shoe Sneakers may be in a more pared-back era, but there’s a genre of heels that’s unmistakably on the opposite side of that spectrum. It’s a fun moment in footwear, where “pieces with embellished finishes, appliqués, and anything that speaks before you do [have] become highly covetable,” Ngomsi tells Refinery29. Heels with pom poms and naturalistic adornments — like Dior’s highly anticipated lily-decorated heels — are queen. Florals for spring might actually feel groundbreaking for once thanks to these beautiful facsimile flowers sewn onto the shoe. These “just instantly make an outfit feel more unique and whimsical,” Li Johnson adds. DashDividers_1_500x100 Toe-Ring Sandals Perhaps near or at the top of the freaky footwear food chain are toe-ring sandals, which range from being heeled or being low to the ground, but always have some sort of contraption encircling the big toe. These feel playful, without being too fussy or putting comfort on the line. Rather than being born from a long list of recent runways, these feel like a continuation of recent years’ hit shoes. But the ones popular in 2026 span a wider range of styles embellished with jewelry-like touches to plain leather pieces. Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?

If you’ve been thinking about ocean waves, the golden sun, and Mai Tais, you’re not alone. Spring break is upon us, and many will be jet-setting off to tropical destinations like Miami, Cancun, and St. Barths. But the planning doesn’t end with booking a ticket—a versatile vacation wardrobe is just as important. If you fail to plan ahead (or accidentally skip a whole section of your packing list, like yours truly), you’ll end up stress shopping instead of lounging in a poolside cabana. I’ve learned my lesson, and now gather inspiration ahead of time by scrolling through my favorite style stars’ feeds. Hailey Bieber, Paloma Elsesser, and Kendall Jenner have all give us major inspiration, showing us what a chic resort-ready rotation looks like. The secret is stowing pieces that work across multiple plans (think: a white maxi skirt that transitions from exploring local shops to dinner). Not only does it make getting ready a breeze once you land, but it leaves extra space for souvenirs. Best of all, a few key outfits can cover your entire itinerary—from brunch to beach. But just because they’re multi-purpose pieces doesn’t mean they’re boring. In fact, many pull from this season’s latest trends, including woven handbags, two-tone jewelry, see-through silhouettes, and wedge heels. They’re not just for your trip, either—each style seamlessly integrates into your everyday spring collection. Whether you’re packing your bags or simply manifesting sun-kissed vibes, the below five spring break outfits are worth snagging. They’re practically begging for a vacation photoshoot. DashDividers_1_500x100 Breezy Brunch The right outfit is just as much a part of brunch as your favorite matcha latte. A billowing maxi skirt and coordinating mini blouse keeps the look elegant and versatile, while simple thong sandals ensure comfort. DashDividers_1_500x100 Sand And Surf Style The ultimate beachside duo? A mesh dress and barely-there bikini. Elevated accessories like a woven tote bag and rectangular sunglasses add the perfect finishing touch. DashDividers_1_500x100 Island Shopping Spree One of the chicest ways to wear lace-trimmed satin shorts is with a graphic tee—while a pair of sandal pumps takes the look to a whole other level. DashDividers_1_500x100 Tropical Dinner Date Wine and dine your style with a draped scarf top and pleated maxi skirt. This unexpected combination is both sleek and relaxed, carrying you through whatever spring break plans follow next. DashDividers_1_500x100 Paradise Cocktail Hour Lean into the glitz and glamour of it all with a sequin blouse made for turning heads. Easy, straight-leg denim and strappy sandal heels complete the look. Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – JUNE 21: Hailey Bieber seen in West Village on June 21, 2025 in New York City. (Photo by Aeon/GC Images) If you want to look effortlessly polished this spring, then don’t sleep on capris. The cropped silhouette has made a triumphant return, with designers like Isabel Marant and Versace including the preppy trousers in their spring/summer collections. And while a calf-grazing style will always channel the likes of Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and Sophia Loren, a new age of It girls are ushering in the 2026 trend. Bella Hadid, Imaan Hammam, Elsa Hosk, and others are modernizing the cropped fit, offering professional-chic ensembles to evening glamour looks. Better still, the range of capri styling proves there’s no single way—or occasion—to wear the versatile bottoms. So, whether you’re strolling through an art gallery or going on a bike ride, the sophisticated pants have you covered. An array of lengths and cuts is also up for grabs, flattering different body types and heights, from petite hourglass figures to lengthy silhouettes; the right pair of capris is just around the corner. You can find the style in various fabrics, as well, including smoothing spandex and elevated crepe. The popular pants even coordinate with other trending wardrobe picks (think: kitten-heel sandals, Y3K sunglasses, and cropped leather jackets). Essentially, investing in a pair sets you and your closet up for fashion success. If you’re as eager as I am to try capris this spring, then look to the following style stars for peak inspiration. It’s easier than you’d think to pull off the sleek, vintage-inspired pants. DashDividers_1_500x100 The Cool Biker Girl Bella Hadid Lean into the edgy aesthetic dominating spring mood boards with a sultry sheer top and soaring stilettos for the perfect date-night look. DashDividers_1_500x100 The Sky Blue Accent Add a pop of blue for an instant outfit pick-me-up. A statement belt cinches the waist, while wide-leg capris bring movement to the ensemble. DashDividers_1_500x100 The Soirée Silhouette LONDON, ENGLAND – JUNE 30: Rochelle Humes and Marvin Humes attend day one of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on June 30, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by Neil Mockford/GC Images) An all-white ensemble isn’t just elegant, but it’s surprisingly simple to recreate. Grab your favorite monochromatic pieces, sprinkling in luxurious onyx accessories for a striking contrast. DashDividers_1_500x100 The Layered Look Spring’s fluctuating weather calls for smart layering, much like a suede bomber jacket and crochet cardigan. Dainty Mary Janes and a frame purse keep things feminine and light. DashDividers_1_500x100 The Retro Aesthetic NEW YORK, NEW YORK – JUNE 21: Hailey Bieber seen in West Village on June 21, 2025 in New York City. (Photo by Aeon/GC Images) Playful polka-dot pants make for an instant head-turning look, whether headed to brunch or a girls’ night out. Reach for closet basics, like mini sunglasses and a luxe gold watch, to ground the look. Like what you see? How about some more R29 goodness, right here?

Oscars night brought tons of historical wins for Sinners and KPop Demon Hunters, and the celebrations didn't end when the award show finished. Immediately after, celebrities hopped over to the annual Vanity Fair Oscars party to cheers and mingle with their fellow nominees, winners, and more industry peers. And yes, many of them changed out of their stunning Oscars red carpet outfits into new ( even more extravagant) looks for the afterparty. Winners like Michael B. Jordan and Maggie Kang showed out with their Oscar trophies and beaming smiles as the cherries on top of their looks. Scarves and capes notably graced the necks of red carpet pros like Bella Hadid and Olandria Carthen, amongst other It girls. And we especially loved seeing coordinating looks from iconic duos, like partners, siblings, and even castmates (hello, Heated Rivalry boys!).

DashDividers_1_500x100 Zara Jeans & Denim Zara is delivering on the denim trends we’re most excited to explore. Think: bedazzled jeans and unique denim accessories. The brand’s new Icons Denim collection has an ultra-elevated Western meets cool-girl city vibe, including patchwork denim jackets, denim-printed dresses, and even denim slingback heels that can be dressed up or down. DashDividers_1_500x100 Zara Shoes It’s time to slip into a new pair of shoes this season, so we’re eyeing Zara’s selection of footwear, including on-trend wedges and kitten heels perfect for showing off your spring pedicures, plus textured ballet flats and colorful cowboy boots for casual weekend outings. DashDividers_1_500x100 Zara Pants & Skirts Zara’s latest bottoms deliver versatility with a sprinkle of drama, like voluminous silhouettes, XL pockets, and belted designs. Consider this week’s Item — the utilitarian, barrel-leg patchwork pants — or a midi skirt that can easily transition from day to night. DashDividers_1_500x100 Zara Tops Airy knits, lacy camisoles, and colorful button-downs are dominating Zara’s new arrivals and ready to round out your spring wardrobe. Layer up (perhaps with one of the jackets below!) while the weather is still cool. Then wear these tops on their own and let them be the focal point of your spring ‘fits. DashDividers_1_500x100 Zara Bags Sleek and functional, Zara’s new bag drop can be worn for weekend strolls, weddings, vacations, and much more. Look for trending handbag styles like woven leather, XL suede silhouettes, and one-strap “ladylike” designs. The many many basket and bucket bags are also a surefire sign that warm weather is approaching. DashDividers_1_500x100 Zara Jackets Layer up with outerwear that doesn’t detract from your outfit, but instead acts as the cherry on top. Funnel-neck coats were a big winter jacket trend, and the silhouette is sliding into the spring too, as we can see in Zara’s selection. Goth girl spring is also upon us, so if you’re looking for something edgier, you can find your new leather jacket at Zara. Shop all Zara Like what you see?

MILAN, ITALY – FEBRUARY 27: A guest wears black sunglasses, a black leather bag, black leather wedges and a red long sleeved turtle neck mini dress outside Sportmax show during the Milan Fashion Week – Womenswear Fall/Winter 2026/2027 on February 27, 2026 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by Valentina Frugiuele/Getty Images) The most coveted trend of the moment isn’t leather bomber jackets, sheer layers, or even suede sneakers—it’s nostalgia. From CBK-inspired tortoiseshell headbands to tiny shoulder bags, shoppers are gravitating toward sentimentality and retro charm. Milan Fashion Week proved as much, with Dolce & Gabbana’s fall 2026 collection leaning into vintage glamour and Fendi reawakening a love for old-school tailoring. And while the past is sometimes best left behind, era-defining pieces have the potential to reinvigorate our sense of style—much like wedges. Originally popularized by Italian designer Salvatore Ferragamo in the 1930s, embraced in the 1940s for wartime practicality, and adored in the 1970s, the wedge is a classic footwear choice for a reason. Today, it’s most closely associated with bold Y2K fashion, offering a playful wardrobe addition reminiscent of Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. But the sculptural shoe doesn’t look the same as it did 26 years ago. While the throwback appeal remains, fresh touches like peep-toe cuts, PVC straps, and resin heels are revamping the silhouette for a contemporary era, proving archival pieces can feel effortlessly current. However, knowing how to style the footwear for 2026 is just as essential.

(Photo by Valentina Frugiuele/Getty Images) Already an It girl favorite, platform heels are being paired with clean-cut capris, oversized blazers, and wide-leg jeans. Tailored shorts and a simple tank make for an easy duo, while a chic maxi dress or knit blouse lets the shoes transition between occasions. A closed-toe variation is also brilliant for an outdoor spring wedding, while a laid-back espadrille is perfect for grabbing a bite at a neighborhood bistro. Best of all, each of these looks can be achieved with wedges available at every price point, from everyday brands to luxury labels alike. Put a modern spin on the vintage style and peruse a lineup of the most in-demand wedges currently up for grabs—including spring-ready hues, moody suede, and posh details.
