Halle Bailey Celebrates Her Birthday in Jamaica Wearing an Under-$200 Bikini

Halle Bailey rang in her 23rd birthday Princess Ariel style . The actor wore a chic patterned bikini (sans mermaid tail) while celebrating her latest trip around the sun in Jamaica with boyfriend DDG . In photos shot at a waterfall attraction, Bailey offered fans an all-angles look at her two-piece, which features a geometric green and orange print, double straps, a front tie, and high-cut bottoms. "birthday behavior," she captioned her Instagram post. Sister Chloë was quick to hype her up in the comments, writing, "stunning 😍😍 you are so damn sexy babes." Bailey scored her swimsuit for less than $200 from celebrity-loved brand Montce, previously repped by Sydney Sweeney , Priyanka Chopra , and Kendall Jenner, to name just a few. We can't help but appreciate the singer's dedication to affordable swimwear; in January she showed off her pink chain-strap LSpace bikini on Instagram, and last year, she vacationed in Dubai wearing a strappy green Fashion Nova...

Vanessa Hudgens's Tiny Animal-Print Bikini Highlights Her Rib Tattoo

Vanessa Hudgens has been collecting thongkinis , summer 2022's most prominent swim trend , for years. The 33-year-old "High School Musical" actor is, in essence, the queen of swimsuits , as one of the celebrities who most often induces beach envy on Instagram. Hudgens typically reaches for the thongkini style, which involves an ultra-high-leg bottom , pulled up above the hip to the waist line, and a thin, triangular strip of fabric at the back. She shops many fashion-favorite resort-wear labels for her beach-ready looks, including 437 , Hunza G and Naked Wolfe . But it's the way Hudgens expertly styles her suits that fans admire, making the thongkini all her own.

Jordyn Woods Makes a Case For a '90s Style Staple: Low-Rise Baggy Jeans

View this post on Instagram A post shared by HEIR JORDYN (@jordynwoods) Jordyn Woods put a '90s-inspired twist on a classic wardrobe combo: jeans and a T-shirt. On March 29, Woods hit the beach in a pair of low-rise baggy jeans and a white Prada tank top layered under a fuzzy cardigan.

Megan Thee Stallion Looks like a '70s Disco Queen in Hip-Cutout Pants

Megan Thee Stallion struck gold in a retro two-piece set on March 28. The rapper looked like a '70s disco queen in a ruched bralette and flared pants with symmetrical hip cutouts at The Hollywood Reporter's Power Stylists Dinner in Los Angeles. Styled by Law Roach and designed by Julien Dossena , her custom ensemble was inspired by a runway look from Paco Rabanne 's spring/summer 1997 ready-to-wear collection. The original Rabanne set, modeled by Yasmeen Ghauri, featured an olive-green bra top paired with low-rise pants embellished with gold rings. While strikingly similar, Megan's updated outfit featured a bandeau top in champagne gold with a halter neckline composed of interlocked gold chains. The same chains appeared again along the cutouts at either side of her matching pants. Megan paired the figure-hugging bottoms with peep-toe sandals and Loewe jewelry, including a set of oversized hoop earrings. Megan's hair and makeup team kept the luxe look going with...

An Honest Review of Free People's New In-House Swimwear Line

The moment temperatures land above 70 degrees, you'll find me in a swimsuit. Growing up in Arizona, I can recall spending countless summers sprawled out on a pool float and conjuring up any excuse to be in the water as often as possible - trust me, it's basically the only way to survive back-to-back months of 115-degree temperatures. While I might not get to spend as much time poolside as I'd prefer these days (because, adulting), I still try to stock up on as many different types of bikinis and one-pieces as possible, that way I'm prepared for whatever the summer months may bring - including a weekend beach trip or two. Naturally, you can imagine my excitement after discovering that Free People's FP Beach (aka my go-to swimwear destination) launched its first-ever swimsuit line with pieces that prioritize style, functionality, and sustainability. Free People was kind enough to send me a sample from the new spring launch in order to get a feel for the collectio...

Katy Perry is making the press rounds ahead of the upcoming season of "American Idol."

She wore distressed, low-rise R13 Denim jeans that sat at her hips, as well as a white baby tee under a cropped leather Balenciaga jacket . With its thick black stripes running down the sleeves, the yellow race jacket was reminiscent of Uma Thurman 's iconic tracksuit in "Kill Bill." Wearing an assortment of rings on each of her left fingers, Perry also carried a yellow coffee cup with her other hand to match her jacket. As for the rest of her cool outfit, which was curated by stylist Tatiana Waterford , pointed black heels peeked out from the floor-length denim and sporty cat-eye sunglasses shielded the singer's eyes.

11 Pro Tips No One Tells You Before Shopping For an Engagement Ring

Just because you can distinguish between a cushion- and princess-cut diamond doesn't make you an engagement ring pro. At least, that's what I learned after talking to Ring Concierge 's founder and CEO Nicole Wegman for merely 10 minutes at the NYC-based brand's Madison Ave. location. An accredited jewelry professional from GIA (Gemological Institute of America), Wegman launched her now-renowned company in 2013 with the goal of providing women with accessible fine jewelry. Her bespoke bridal business, in particular, is known for its signature Whisper Thin band - the thinnest on the market - that achieves the illusion of a "floating" diamond. Future brides flock to the store just to try it on - and while there, Wegman is always willing to share expert advice. Among the many tips I learned from her, Wegman revealed the busiest months for engagement ring design: October and November, just in time for holiday proposals. In total, she shared 11 facts about en...

Taylor Swift Wears a Plunging Hooded Catsuit Covered in Sequins at the iHeartRadio Awards

Taylor Swift may have skipped the red carpet ahead of the iHeartRadio Music Awards, but she still showed up in a dazzling look. On March 27, she took a break from her Eras Tour to attend the ceremony in Los Angeles, where she was honored with the Innovator Award for her impact on global pop culture throughout her career. As the show commenced, the singer slipped into the Dolby Theatre in a sequined catsuit from Alexandre Vauthier. Taken from the designer's spring 2023 couture collection, the shimmery ensemble came with built-in boots, a dramatic hood, and a plunging neckline. Styled by Joseph Cassell Falconer , the honoree paired the catsuit with jewelry from Kat Kim. Swift finished her striking look with a matching midnight-blue smoky eye and a metallic manicure.

Every Edgy, Eye-Catching Look at the iHeartRadio Music Awards

The 2023 iHeartRadio Music Awards red carpet kicks off on Monday, March 27, from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, and the fashion will only get bolder as the night goes on. While that's partly because VIPs tend to keep us guessing - arriving later in the night to build anticipation for their outfits - we'll also see performances from the likes of Latto and Pink, the latter of whom is being recognized as the evening's icon. Naturally, this calls for a few costume changes that will be nothing short of impressive. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift - honored as industry innovator and ringing in at eight nominations - will dress in keeping with her Eras aesthetic , while also paying homage to her career and how it has impacted global pop culture. The 33-year-old star works with stylist Joseph Cassell Falconer on her wardrobe, frequently wearing brands such as David Koma, Zuhair Murad, and Oscar de la Renta. Her looks usually do not go without a glitzy embellishment or beaded detail,...

Bucket Hats Are Trending For Spring, and This Style Is My Personal Favorite

I love experimenting with new fashion trends , but I'm often much less keen on investing in styles that I'm not totally convinced will still be relevant next season. For the last few years, I've avoided stocking up on bucket hats for this very reason. While celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Dua Lipa have donned their own variations of the accessory - with styles that range in everything from faux-leather bucket hats and fuzzy versions to crochet bucket hats and more - I've been wary of whether or not I could pull off the hat quite as well as them (or if it was worth it to even try). But a recent scroll through TikTok introduced me to Lack of Color - the brand behind the internet's most beloved (and universally flattering) accessories. I immediately fell in love with this Lack of Color Inca Bucket Hat ($149), and after wearing it poolside for back-to-back weekends, I am now convinced it's the ultimate spring accessory.

These $50 Old Navy Split-Hem Jeans Are Almost as Comfortable as Sweatpants

When my former coworker reviewed the Extra High-Waisted Button-Fly Kicker Boot-Cut Ripped Cut-Off Jeans way back in 2021, I knew they'd eventually need to land a spot in my wardrobe. I fell in love with everything about them, from the cut-off hem to their understated boot-cut silhouette, but I waited too long to add them to my cart, and they ultimately went out of stock - until recently. While checking out the brand's new arrivals for March , I came across an updated version of the OG style. Enter the Extra High-Waisted Button-Fly Kicker Boot-Cut Side-Slit Jeans ($50). At first glance, their style names might look identical, but what separates the two is that the latest version features one of the most highly coveted details of the moment: a side slit. Ahead, I break down everything you need to know about the style to determine if you should add them to your cart for spring. (Spoiler alert: you definitely should). What I Love About the Old Navy Extra High-Waisted Button-Fl...

Awards season may have passed, but Storm Reid is here to prove that the season for red-carpet-worthy outfits is never ending. On March 21, the " The Last of Us " star stepped out in a sheer crystal minidress with a glittering hip cutout at the 2023 Fashion Trust US Awards in Los Angeles. Wearing a look from Jonathan Simkhai's spring 2023 runway collection, Reid posed on the red carpet, turning to display the dress's hypnotic swirl pattern from all angles. Her stylists, Jason Bolden and John Mumblo , paired the ensemble with strappy heeled sandals by Christian Louboutin, diamond hoop earrings, a layered floral bracelet in gold, and a metallic handbag with a chain-link strap.
