30 Unique Engagement Rings Perfect For the Non-Traditional Bride

The idea of a proposal always presents never-ending excitement, but there's one caveat that makes saying yes even more daunting - the engagement ring itself. Just like your future spouse, you'll be wearing your engagement ring for life, so it should be unique, and one that you'll love not just in the moment, but for years to come. While we love classic rings like the single diamond set on a simple gold band, weddings have taken a refreshing, innovative turn in recent years, so the romantic accessory that you're saying yes to should match. Some of the most stylish celebrity engagement rings have successfully broken the mold. Perhaps your mind goes to Kate Middleton's iconic 12-carat ring that was surrounded by 14 diamonds and set on 18-karat white gold, originally owned by Princess Diana, or even Beyoncé's 24-carat emerald-cut diamond ring , set on a split band designed by Hollywood-favorite jeweler Lorraine Schwartz. More recently, Megan Fox's custom toi...

Beyoncé and Blue Ivy Hit the Stage in Matching Red Sparkly Outfits

Beyoncé 's "Renaissance" World Tour has arrived, and with it one dazzling concert ensemble after another. On May 10, the Grammy Award-winning artist kicked off the opening night of her tour in Stockholm, Sweden. While performing to a sold-out crowd, Beyoncé made magic happen in an entire collection of custom designer outfits. Opening the show with "Dangerously in Love," Beyoncé lit up the stage in her first look of the night: a metallic Alexander McQueen catsuit and Tiffany & Co. jewelry styled by Shiona Turini . The one-piece design featured a futuristic silhouette, complete with rounded shoulder pads and prominent hip embellishments. The entire outfit boasted intricate beadwork and an electric design adorned with hundreds of sparkling crystals, which beautifully complemented her chrome manicure. As the evening progressed, Beyoncé's wardrobe only became more extravagant. In addition to the catsuit, her concert wardrobe included a sequin Courrèges b...

The Thongkini Is the Power Suit of the Summer

As if Beyoncé rocking a crystal bikini on the "Renaissance" album cover weren't already an indicator, the thongkini is officially summer's hottest swimwear trend . The thongkini, or thong bikini, looks like a traditional two-piece swimsuit from the front, but in the back, it features a thin strip of material designed to show as much skin as possible. Recently, some of the biggest swimsuit connoisseurs have embraced thongkinis without hesitation. Lizzo posed in a super-strappy thongkini, styling it with beaded jewelry and a sheer coverup. Kendall Jenner went for a full thong style in a Heavy Manners set replete with a floral brushstroke print. Chlöe took a dip in a nude string thongkini, and Kim and Khloé Kardashian sported black thongkinis from their respective brands Skims and Good American while in Turks and Caicos. Simone Biles has embraced the thriving trend on countless vacations, most notably rocking a neon-green thongkini during a birthday trip with fian...

Chanel Iman's Massive Engagement Ring Taps Into a Popular Bridal Trend

Model Chanel Iman is engaged to New England Patriots football player Davon Godchaux. The duo, who are pregnant with their first child together, posed for plenty of pictures during a romantic getaway to Capri, Italy, where Iman said yes in a butterfly-embroidered white cutout maxi dress from For Love & Lemons . Iman posted a string of photos , which included a close-up of her unique emerald-cut engagement ring with an East-West setting upon rose gold hardware and a diamond eternity band. She boasted the perfect manicure for showing off her sparkler – milky-white nails to match the rest of her summertime look, which was styled with a side-parted hairstyle and natural-looking makeup. Although the jewelry appears delicate, the stone itself stands out by a mile thanks to its orientation and the way it reflected the sun when photographed. Following the celebratory moment, Iman, 32, and Godchaux, 28, continued on their baby moon-turned-engagement trip in style, with Iman highlighting h...

15 Outfit Ideas to Style Crocs Like a Pro

Though Crocs are a decidedly questionable trend, they are, indeed, a trend on the rise. Now that Crocs are widely embraced by celebrities and high-fashion runways alike, the rubber slip-on shoes you thought would be a quickly passing fad have embedded themselves deep into the fashion lexicon. They feature a soft rubber exterior, open holes at the top, and a sling back that you can flip forward or back. Initially crafted as a boat shoe in the early aughts, next to Birkenstocks, they have quickly become the comfortable, functional, and somewhat polarizing pair of kicks incorporated into stylish wardrobes all over the world. The Crocs brand has collaborated with designers such as Christopher Kane and Balenciaga, as well as celebrities like Justin Bieber , taking the gardening shoe into the style sphere with a vengeance. Seen worn by the likes of Pharrell, Nicki Minaj , and Ariana Grande , Questlove one-upped his fellow A-listers by taking them to the red carpet at the 2021 Oscars, choo...

5 Stealth Wealth Fashion Lessons From Succession

HBO's hit series Succession is a family drama composed of chaotically evil, ultra wealthy, gorgeously dressed people. "It's like being a superhero, only better," Tom Wambsgans tells Cousin Greg Hirsch in season one about being rich and powerful. "You get to wear a costume, only it's designed by Armani and doesn't make you look like a prick!" As we gleefully watch the Roy family implode through the season finale, attention must be paid to the clothes. Succession has steadily become one of those sartorially-blessed series with fashion moments that trend on Twitter as often as the plot twists do. And there are plenty of style lessons you can actually apply from this absurdly rich, morally-bankrupt family. One of the biggest trends of the moment is quiet luxury , the aesthetic that favors timeless, well-constructed pieces that communicate wealth without being flashy. The main characters on Succession naturally gravitate toward this style of dressing, ...

All the Hidden Metaphors Behind Succession's High-Stakes Fashion Choices

When perpetually bewildered Cousin Greg Hirsch makes it to his first day on the job in Succession's season 1, Tom Wambsgans confronts him with some brutal questions: "Forgive me, but are we talking to each other on the poop deck of a majestic schooner? Is the salty brine stinging my weather-beaten face? No? Then why the fuck are you wearing a pair of deck shoes, man?" That dialogue tells us a lot about Wambsgans but it also throws a gauntlet down for Easter-egg-hunting viewers: Succession's fashion and outfit details are important. Inside the world of Succession, it's all about quiet luxury . One wrong sartorial choice will get you labeled as an outsider in their high-stakes sphere. Consider Hirsch's date in season 4, episode 1, whose ludicrously capacious bag immediately went viral (and will hopefully become the "it" Halloween costume of 2023). There's also Kerry Castellabate's wardrobe, which is full of bright colors that signal that she...

Hailey Bieber Wore the Tiniest String Bikini Under a Wet "Got Milk?" T-Shirt

Supermodel, Rhode founder , and vlogger Hailey Bieber is world renowned for her effortless street style. Never is she without Jennifer Fisher gold hoops, dark sunglasses, an ultrashort hemline, or a pair of pants that fall in line with the latest polarizing trend. From low-rise, baggy denim to multipocket cargo pants , the 26-year-old fashion mogul has put her spin on it all - largely thanks to stylist Dani Michelle . When it comes to red carpet dressing, she also routinely works with Karla Welch , whose longtime client is husband Justin Bieber . Fittingly, coordinating with Justin is largely part of her repertoire, whether it's for date night or the red carpet . Of course, they pulled out all the stops for their 2019 nuptials in South Carolina , with Justin in a Celine tuxedo and Hailey in an intricate Off-White wedding dress designed by the late Virgil Abloh and replete with a veil embroidered with the creative director's signature quotation marks around a romantic mess...

This $21 Bralette Was 'Love at First Wear' - and It's 40 Percent Off Right Now

I don't have big boobs in the slightest, but I have the world's widest rib cage, so bra shopping has never, ever been fun (not that it sounds very fun if you're well-endowed either, but I digress). Since my first training bra was purchased around the time I turned 12, I've hated wearing a bra at all. Like most women, I spend my days at work dreaming of that glorious moment I can strip down at home and fling my underwire death-trap across the room like a slingshot, allowing my girls to roam freely for the rest of the night. I thought I was destined to waste my existence, wishing it were the end of the day, until I found Calvin Klein's cotton bralettes. Now, I'm not living under a rock; I'm not new to bralettes as a concept. I know there are a zillion out there, from lace-embellished options to those crafted in sweat-wicking material to stand up to workouts. But this Calvin Klein Modern Cotton Racerback Bralette ($21, originally $30) is the one that's...

Ariana Madix's Revenge Outfit From the "Vanderpump Rules" Reunion Is Selling Out Fast

Since its debut on Bravo in 2013, " Vanderpump Rules " has never failed to deliver when it comes to drama. The series kicked off with the fallout from Scheana Shay's affair with Eddie Cibrian, the former husband of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" alum Brandi Glanville. And in season two, Jax Taylor confessed to hooking up with Kristen Doute while in a relationship with her friend Stassi Schroeder; Doute, at the time, was committed to Tom Sandoval, who just so happened to be a friend of Taylor's. The show's history of torrid affairs reached its peak (we hope) in season 10 with #Scandoval , when TMZ uncovered Sandoval's entanglement with Raquel Leviss, the best friend of his partner of nine years, Ariana Madix. And through all the drama, fashion played the role of an additional castmate, helping to tell the story as it unfolded. "Vanderpump Rules" outfits can serve as hidden messages, powerful statements, and even sentimental nods wit...

Priyanka Chopra Commits to a Nearly Naked Dress With an Extreme Side Cutout

Priyanka Chopra continues on her style streak, this time in a feature story for The Zoe Report . The interview focuses on her production company, Purple Pebble Pictures; her new thriller spy series, "Citadel" ; and her family life. The 40-year-old star poses for Lauren Dukoff in summer-friendly dresses that take on the season's boldest trends - all of which were chosen for the shoot by Jan-Michael Quammie . It's not unlike Chopra to slip into a skin-revealing silhouette with confidence, but it feels as though the seafoam Frederick Anderson number - complete with a plunging neckline that extends to the navel, an extreme side cutout, and a leg slit - was made for this moment. The design hails from the spring 2023 collection and was styled on Chopra with a Bulgari ring and watch. Of course, she had to forgo both a bra and underwear to pull off the nearly naked outfit, and her relaxed demeanor said everything about her penchant for taking on polarizing fashion trends. ...

Simone Biles's Tiny Green Bikini Has 4 Crisscross Straps Covering Her Abs

While her primary profession is being one of the world's most decorated gymnasts, Simone Biles can add style aficionado to the résumé as well. Her many tropical getaways with friends and new husband Jonathan Owens have brought her affinity for stylish swimwear to new heights. In fact, Biles's swimsuits regularly give us style inspiration for our own trips to the beach. During a romantic escape with Owens in July 2022, she showcased a black and white silhouette-printed one-piece and vibrant bikinis in mint, lavender, and light-pink plaid, spending her time out of office posing in front of clear blue waters and infinity pools. Biles also showed off an emerald-green co-ord complete with a one-shoulder bandeau and a ruched tie-pull skirt, all finished with a pair of strappy multicolor printed heels, after the sun went down and she and Owens ditched the beach. Earlier, in April 2022, Biles headed to Cancún, Mexico, for a fashion-filled girls trip , so it's no surprise she...

With Coachella weekend comes the highly anticipated Revolve festival , a fashionable, star-studded event that happens every year in April.

Plus, as one of the most popular retailers of the past two decades, Revolve certainly brings out the best fashion of all of those in attendance. Most celebrities took their cue from the fickle spring weather to slip into looks that covered their silhouette while also boasting cutouts to take advantage of the sunnier moments. Lori Harvey was in attendance wearing a white cutout maxi dress from Aya Muse that showed off a sliver of her bustline and midsection. In a black crop top and high-waisted pants, befitting of sister Kylie Jenner's new color palette , Kendall Jenner partner...

Irina Shayk Goes Risqué in an Ultra-Low-Rise Skirt and Sheer Lingerie in Cannes

Irina Shayk is turning up the heat in Cannes. Since landing in France for the annual Cannes Film Festival over the weekend, the model has been turning out one sultry look after another. She kicked off her tour at the "Killers of the Flower Moon" premiere on May 20, wearing a navy-blue Giorgio Armani Privé gown with a plunging neckline that dipped down to her stomach and a stunning tiered skirt. For the afterparty that followed, the mom of one swapped her couture for a sheer rhinestone dress with cap sleeves from Self-Portrait. On May 21, during a casual outing in Cannes, she was spotted in another Self-Portrait number, a red plaid minidress with floral pearl embellishments down the side. Shayk later switched things up for the "Firebrand" premiere that evening in an edgy, barely there ensemble by Nigerian-born fashion designer Mowalola Ogunlesi . The fashion risk-taker wore a red leather crisscross top with a matching low-rise skirt that sat below her hips, addi...

Lizzo Took the Butt-Cutout Trend to a New Level in a Halter Dress

In addition to her music career and reality show, " Watch Out For the Big Grrrls ," on Amazon Prime, Lizzo runs a shapewear line called Yitty in partnership with activewear brand Fabletics . She first teased the venture in March 2022, writing in an Instagram post , "I'm about to announce the biggest thing YET. Bigger than anything I've ever done. 3 years in the making. A Dream Come True. Stay tuned bitch." "I'm selling a mentality that 'I can do what I want with my body, wear what I want and feel good while doing it.'" It makes sense that Lizzo, a longtime advocate for body positivity and destigmatizing being fat and healthy , would get in the business of empowering people to love themselves. She has championed a series of boundary-pushing looks that promote radical self-acceptance and new beauty standards . "I'm selling a mentality that 'I can do what I want with my body, wear what I want and feel good while doing ...

The Perfect Linen Shirt For Summer Exists, and It's on Sale For $12 at Old Navy

A significantly large fraction of the wardrobe essentials in my closet are from Old Navy. The Fitted Sleeveless Square-Neck Bodysuit is my go-to when I need a chic and seamless layer, and the brand's Extra High-Waisted Wide-Leg Ripped Jeans are one of my favorite pairs to date. I could go on, but I'd rather introduce you to the latest of the retailer's must haves: the Fitted Linen-Blend Tie-Shoulder Cropped Cami ($12, originally $30). I came across it in Old Navy's new-arrivals section more than a month ago and have been keeping an eye on it to see if shoppers deem it worth the buy - spoiler alert: they do. When I added it to my virtual shopping cart, it had just over 50 five-star ratings and very few critical reviews, and it's only grown in popularity in the time since. Ahead, I share why I'm among its fans and why you should scoop it up, too. What I Love About the Old Navy Fitted Linen-Blend Tie-Shoulder Cropped Cami This cropped cami is incredibly ver...

Jennifer Garner Steps Out in an Off-Shoulder Corset Dress With Platform Heels

While she's had an impressive two-decade career consisting of staple shows and movies like " 13 Going on 30 " and "Alias," Jennifer Garner appears to be entering her style element. The actress stepped out in a white off-shoulder Alexander McQueen dress while attending the Rockout/Knockout Cancer event hosted by the St. Helena Hospital Foundation in California on Thursday, May 18. She also posed with luxury designer Elyse Walker , who opted for a floral, tiered maxi dress with ruffles. Styled by Jordan Johnson Chung , Garner, 51, chose an on-trend McQueen dress that retails at $3,490 and features an open back, side-seam pockets, and a corset bodice seamlessly united with a poplin midi skirt. The actress paired the summery piece with light-brown suede platform heels and an array of gold jewelry for a chic touch. Her glam was just as sweet as the rest of her look - natural makeup and a freshly cut bob that was styled in a deep side part and loose curls. Garne...

Kim Kardashian Flaunts Hip Cleavage in an Extreme Cutout Dress

If there's anyone you can count on to wear a bodycon dress, it's Kim Kardashian . The reality star stayed true to her signature curve-hugging style as she stepped out for press day in New York City on May 16. The Skims mogul nearly stopped traffic in yet another sultry street style moment - a black maxi jersey dress with multiple cutouts, exposing a faux-thong . Sister Khloé also accompanied her for the Disney Upfront, where they presented " The Kardashians ," revealing Hulu's continuation of the reality series. In line with her affinity for skin-revealing clothing, the mom-of-four's dress is from Gucci's Spring/Summer 2023 collection (the same one that actress Dove Cameron wore just a month ago ), which is slightly reminiscent of the brand's iconic harness skirt from the Spring/Summer 1998 collection by Tom Ford. The figure-flattering garment features a scoop neck, sculptural cutouts that cascade over the arms, and leather buckle straps at the hi...
