Sister brands Prada and Miu Miu couldn't be more different. But their designer DNA proves VIP-beloved It bags run in the family. Following in the Prada Bonnie's footsteps, Miu Miu's Vivant Bag became the (not so secret) favorite child in celebrities' summer closets.

To know the Miu Miu Vivant is to know the origins of the bowling bag: a structured top-handle tote with a rounded zip closure and flat purse feet. The silhouette (which rivals the east-west trend in terms of length) got its start in bowling alleys in the 1950s, before Prada's Spring 2000 fashion show rolled a fashion-forward strike of an iteration down the runway.

Almost 30 years later, the Italian label passed the baton to Miu Miu's Olivia Rodrigo-led Spring 2026 campaign, giving the bowling bag trend the spotlight. To honor the trend's nostalgic roots, Miu Miu sculpted the borderline trapezoidal bag from vintage-looking leather.

The largest Vivant size is the most popular among the celebrity style set: Days after it dropped in March, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Nina Dobrev, and Barbara Palvin brought the super-sized "cognac" color to the front row of the Miu Miu Fall 2026 show.

By the following May, Miu Miu introduced an entire bowling team's worth of new Vivant colors, including lemon yellow, cool blue, burgundy, and lime green. For her Miu Miu Select Collection (a limited-edition assortment of summer styles), Joey King made the bubblegum pink bag the star of the show. Her Miu Miu look didn't just debut a new shade, but an underrated size, too: 6.7 inches tall and 11 inches wide.

Later that week, King's off-duty outfit confirmed she also owns the same size and shade as Edgar-Jones and Palvin. (Fun fact: Bella Hadid couldn't limit herself to one Prada Bonnie, either.)

In late June, the big Vivant bag—which is twice the size of King's—won over one of fashion's most frequent flyers. Gigi Hadid traveled to Paris Couture Week with Palvin's chestnut color as her carry-on. It appeared to be overflowing with supermodel essentials, so within days of landing in France, she added a suede beige style to her Miu Miu Vivant collection. Between those two, Hadid has already curated quite an impressive fall bag lineup.

Once Hadid demonstrated the large Vivant's everyday bag potential, Iris Law styled the brown leather tote with a hoodie, gingham pajama pants, and the mesh ballet flats trend. With this casual pairing, Law made the Vivant look even more like a well-loved bowling bag she scored at a local vintage store.

Fast forward to the 2026 World Cup Final, and the Miu Miu Vivant got in on the Summer of Sports action. While it's unclear whether Tate McRae's medium-size bag passed MetLife Stadium's bag policy, it certainly served a look before Team Spain bested Team Argentina. Rather than root for a country, McRae stayed neutral in a summer white polo shirt and low-rise jeans. The singer could've chosen the chocolate brown Vivant to match her Miu Miu sandals, but the light gray variation kept the look warm weather-appropriate.

At just five months old, the Miu Miu Vivant is already making her older sister, the Prada Bonnie, proud. Earlier this year, the bowling bag made its runway debut in the Fall 2026 fashion show, premiering in rich burgundy, black, and brown variations.

With the Vivant's total takeover of the spring and summer circuits, Miu Miu reminded fashion people that the brand isn't new to the business of making It bags. To put it in bowling terms: The Vivant may be a rookie, but thanks to It girls like Hadid and McRae, it's well on its way to being a ten-pin titleholder.

Wherever Hailey Bieber's Gap jeans go, the flip-flops trend follows. But when Kaia Gerber or Zendaya style summer denim, don't expect them to follow suit in open-toe shoes. This year, Hollywood's most stylish stocked up on warm-weather flats, leaving pedicure-forward sandal trends behind them.

While Bieber rotated between her favorite kitten heel and sky-high flip-flops, other VIPs held down the flats fort in closed-toe styles that will remain in rotation through winter. Gigi Hadid wore the soft loafers trend with everything, but especially sky blue denim; Zendaya's baggy jeans and Maison Margiela Tabi Ballet Flats proved they're a match made in freaky shoe heaven; and Gerber stayed loyal to the ballet flats she designed with French footwear brand Repetto.

Don't expect Bieber to retire jeans and flip-flops outfits anytime soon. (Seriously, the uniform even starred in her Gap campaign.) However, if you have ballet flat separation issues or your pedicure could use a touch-up, you can still style denim The It Girl Way: by studying and shopping the summer flats trends below.

Gigi Hadid's Summer Jeans and Loafers

Toward the end of spring 2026, Zoë Kravitz, Jennifer Lawrence, and Gigi Hadid made the soft loafers trend a must-have for fashion-forward New Yorkers. Hadid, for one, didn't hibernate ruched high-vamp slippers for summer. Days before the 2026 Met Gala, her beloved burgundy pair from Miu Miu matched the nostalgic feel of her striped Guest In Residence top and flared Frame jeans.

Zendaya's Summer Jeans and Tabi Ballet Flats

Maison Margiela Tabis are right next to Christian Louboutins on Zendaya's press tour packing list. Before The Odyssey, she saved spots in her luggage for two pairs from the brand, including split-toe loafers and matching ballet flats. The actress's velvet plum purple ballerinas embarked on their own epic journey, appearing beneath plenty of light-wash denim looks.

Kendall Jenner's Summer Jeans and The Row Loafers

Meanwhile, Kendall Jenner traded the soft loafers trend for The Row's sold-out Canal style, which features more structured soles and black leather toe boxes. By pairing the loafers with cigarette jeans, a black bowling bag, and the perfect white tee, Jenner looked fresh from a '90s J.Crew catalog.

Dakota Johnson's Summer Jeans and High-Vamp Flats

If Dakota Johnson could've attended Taylor Swift's wedding with high-vamp flats as her plus-one, I believe she would've. The summer 2026 shoe trend rarely leaves her side. Just last week, Phoebe Philo's Gathered Flats (beloved by Rihanna, Tracee Ellis Ross, Bieber, and more) elevated her Levi's jeans.

Kaia Gerber's Summer Jeans and Block-Heel Ballet Flats

Kaia Gerber's denim collection gives Bieber some competition, at least where the sheer amount of shades and silhouettes are concerned. However, for each jeans outfit, Gerber returns to the Kaia Ballet Flats from her recent collaboration with Repetto.

The black suede style has everything you know and love about the classic ballet flats—including rounded toes and bow-tied vamps—but with distinct block heels. Since they stand less than 0.8 inches tall, yes, the shoes are still considered ballet flats. Itty-bitty heels can't hurt when you're sporting something as striking as the Chanel Maxi Flap Bag.

Millie Bobby Brown's Summer Jeans and Ballet Flats

The "baggiest bottoms of the season" trophy goes to Millie Bobby Brown's date-night look. The actress and her husband, Jake Bongiovi, matched each other's black-top-and-blue-jeans energy, but Brown cuffed her oversized hems to reveal a pair of leather ballet flats.

The 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show will be here before we know it. But, unlike years past, it won't be in New York. On July 16, the lingerie conglomerate announced that the 2026 runway spectacle is taking its wings to L.A.

While Brooklyn has been the backdrop for the star-studded event for the last two consecutive shows, before its hiatus (more on that below), Miami, London, Paris, Cannes, and Shanghai have also hosted the soirée. It's about time the Angels took over the City of Angels again, right? (The last time the show took place in L.A. was in 2007.)

"This year, we’re taking the show on the road to the birthplace of glamour, stardom, and icons," the brand shared on Instagram. So, prepare yourself for a runway show with plenty of drama, extravagance, and even more celebrities in attendance.

Preparations for the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show began early this year: Open casting calls in cities like L.A., Miami, Texas, and Chicago allowed Angel hopefuls to audition for a spot in the third-annual affair (and receive a contract with IMG Models). From April through June, thousands of models strutted their stuff in front of judges and Victoria's Secret regulars like Gigi Hadid, Paloma Elsesser, Ashley Graham, and Alex Consani. (We are still awaiting the results about who made the cut.)

Over the last three decades, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show has come a long way. From 1995 to 2018, the brand's annual affair would take place in glamorous locales ranging from The Plaza Hotel to the 2000 Cannes Film Festival and see see celebrities like Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum, and Claudia Schiffer walking the runway. Over the years, the allure began to fade, and the show began to be increasingly criticized for casting unrealistically slim body types, lack of diversity, and cultural appropriation. The worst ratings in the show's history and accusations of LGBTQ+ discrimination and harassment within the company led to the eventual cancellation of the show in 2019.

At the time, executives said that "the messaging of [Victoria's Secret]" needed to "evolve." Five years later, in 2024, the brand was ready to stage its comeback: "The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is BACK and will reflect who we are today, plus everything you know and love—the glamour, runway, wings, musical entertainment, and more." This translated to Hilary Super's CEO appointment in 2024 (the first woman to lead the company) and more accessible lingerie on and off the runway.

Since then, the show has continued to evolve. In 2024, plus-size models like Ashley Graham, Devyn Garcia, Paloma Elsesser, and Kai Soleil gained their wings. Simultaneously, Alex Consani and Valentina Sampaio became the first transgender Angels to walk the brand's runway. Last October, Jasmine Tookes made history as the first pregnant person (and the second Black Angel) to open the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Shortly after Tookes, WNBA star Angel Reese walked out, becoming the first athlete-turned-Angel to grace the Victoria's Secret catwalk.

Keep reading for everything you need to know about the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, including how to watch the runway, which musical stars will perform, and whether the Hadid sisters will reunite in angel wings again—and come back for updates as more announcements are made leading up to the event.

When Is the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show?

While the location of the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show has been confirmed—Los Angeles—no date has been revealed (though it's set to take place in the fall). For the past two years, it's been held on October 15.

Who's Modeling in the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show?

Gigi Hadid confirmed she'll be walking in her fifth Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. If this year's runway looks anything like 2025's, she'll grace the catwalk multiple times. She made her 2025 debut in a Barbie pink camisole and itty-bitty shorts, before changing into almost-six-feet-tall angel wings.

Fingers crossed this means Bella Hadid will flutter her Angel wings down the runway, too. Just like her sister, Bella delivered two lingerie looks during the 2025 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. She closed the hour-long presentation in 50-pound wings sculpted from cloud-like 3-D florals.

Judging by Victoria's Secret's celebrity-led campaigns this year, Paloma Elsesser, Amelia Gray, Barbara Palvin, Jasmine Tookes, Elsa Hosk, and Angel Reese could return to the runway. If we're lucky, Hailey Bieber (who recreated a vintage Gisele Bündchen ad with the brand in Jan. 2026) will finally walk her first Victoria's Secret catwalk. Stay tuned.

Who's Performing at the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show?

Last year, Victoria's Secret didn't announce its performers until days before the fashion show: Madison Beer, Missy Elliott, TWICE, and Karol G all shared the stage. Beer and Karol G also walked the runway as honorary Angels. Beer styled a satin corset and matching hot pants, while Karol looked red-hot in a naked lace jumpsuit and larger-than-life wings.

Years ago, Victoria's Secret set a high bar for itself in the performance department. Everyone from Taylor Swift and Rihanna to Lady Gaga and Cher has sung their greatest hits. Who will live up to the show's expectations this year?

How Can I Watch the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show?

With the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show still months away, you'll have to wait to make your watch party plans. However, in 2025, fans who didn't receive a pink invite could watch the catwalk live on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

Victoria's Secret also previously teamed up with Amazon. The show streamed on Prime Video and the Amazon Shopping app, which let Prime members shop Victoria's Secret lingerie as soon as Gigi, Bella, Consani, Elsesser, and Palvin debuted their looks.

Celebrities in NYC and L.A. have a soft spot for leopard print and gingham, but in Paris, polka dots are styled as proudly as the French flag. On July 9, Gigi Hadid wore the summer's polka-dot trend while on a date with her boyfriend, actor-director Bradley Cooper. See? Even tourists can't resist the French-girl-beloved pattern.

The power couple celebrated another glamorous Haute Couture Week at Le Stresa restaurant. The model, who earlier in the week walked for Balenciaga, blended into the Parisian crowd by wearing a lace-trimmed, polka-dot dress from Rowen Rose. A white lacy bodice topped the chocolate brown sleeveless slip, while extra colorless floral lace lined both of the midi's hip-high slits.

If Hadid's color combination feels familiar, that's because a few months ago, Cardi B wore Rowen Rose's brown-and-white specks as stirrup leggings. Clearly, the French brand knows what it's doing in the polka-dot department.

As far as I know, Rowen Rose is a new designer for Gigi Hadid. She accessorized the midi with some of her signature styles from Miu Miu. The brand ambassador chose the Wander Matelassé Bag, known for its singular shoulder strap, decorative stitching, and yellow gold branding. (She owns it in black and Barbie pink, too, but white leather made the most sense with the ivory-accented dress.)

To round out her brown-and-white color story, the supermodel chose Miu Miu's take on the soft loafers trend. Each high vamp boasted the same gold branding as her Matelassé Bag; ruched heels hugged Hadid's ankles like ballet slippers.

While polka dot dresses never truly go away, the style is one of the season's biggest trends. During the Spring 2026 fashion show circuit, the design appeared on the runways at Dries Van Noten, Tory Burch, Khaite, and more. Dries Van Noten gave monochrome dots the naked dress treatment, while Tory Burch showcased an asymmetrical version of the look. Polka dots reached a new level of supersized at Khaite when Kendall Jenner modeled a printed maxi skirt.

If Gigi Hadid were to grant shoppers a sneak peek at her summer closet, I bet polka-dot pieces would be lining the walls. Earlier this summer, she wore a bubble-hem, spotted skirt from Self-Portrait to a Victoria's Secret casting call in Miami. Back then, she styled it with pointy slingback pumps and a halter-neck vest. To channel Hadid's most Parisian polka-dot outfit yet, peruse the curated edit below.

I would need buckets of black feathers and creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli on speed dial to recreate Gigi Hadid's Balenciaga Fall 2026 Couture runway look. But the shoe and jeans outfit she wore after July 8's show could join my summer wardrobe rotation before Paris's final Haute Couture Week bow.

For his first Balenciaga Couture collection, Piccioli outfitted the supermodel in the most regal lion's mane. Clearly, the runway design awoke Hadid's wild side: Afterward, she styled her off-duty look with leopard-print kitten heels from the French accessories brand Roger Vivier.

The shoes boasted a pony-hair upper with buckle detailing (a Roger Vivier signature); patent leather, slingback straps; and supportive two-inch-high block heels. If you're in the market for the exact pair, Hadid's Belle Vivier 45 pumps will set you back $1,345—if your size hasn't sold out already, that is.

Spending Couture Week with the French girls must have given Hadid plenty of summer style inspiration. She dressed the part in a Parisian-approved boatneck tank from St. Agni, oval-shaped glasses, and low-rise cigarette jeans in a slightly faded, light wash.

To finish the look, the Guest In Residence designer carried her fashion show essentials in a $4,400 suede shoulder bag from Miu Miu. The trapezoidal tote complemented her four-figure Prada tank earlier this week, too.

It seems Gigi Hadid sourced Spring 2026 runways before closing her Couture Week suitcase. Similar leopard-print pairs scored starring roles in Conner Ives's and Roberto Cavalli's recent collections. The former LVMH Prize finalist presented a strappy interpretation of the animal-print look, wrapping itty-bitty leopard bands up models' calves. Meanwhile, Roberto Cavalli debuted more timeless iterations with closed-toe, high-vamp pumps.

Leopard-print footwear has already earned an entire zoo's worth of endorsements from It girls. As early as January of this year, pointy pumps emerged from beneath Jennifer Lawrence's baggy jeans. By the 2026 Cannes Film Festival in May, Alexa Chung combined the animal print with the heeled flip-flops trend.

Summer's more divisive prints (think palm-tree, shell patterns) might be a touch too vibrant for the French capital. Leopard print, on the other hand, is bold and understated at the same time—as Hadid's latest look proves.

I've re-worn my favorite white T-shirt so often, the tag no longer tells me which brand to thank. Three years in, I'm still not sure whether it's from Uniqlo or J.Crew. Gigi Hadid will never have that problem, however. No matter how many times Hadid styles her new tank top, quiet luxury branding promises passersby will always think, "Wait, that's Prada."

Following Sabrina Carpenter's lead, Hadid jetted from Taylor Swift's wedding in New York City to Paris Haute Couture Week. She didn't announce her arrival on a couture catwalk; instead, the city's bustling street style scene.

It seems Europe's impending heatwave influenced Hadid's pre-fashion show staple: She stayed cool in a $1,420 tank top from Prada, the brand that brought Bella Hadid's four Fall 2026 runway walks to life. Not only did the shirt support her sister, lived-in cotton, slouchy straps, and a cropped hem made it any fashion girl's dream tank. Plus, one subtle, monochromatic triangle beneath the scoop neckline confirmed it was indeed Prada.

From there, Hadid kept the lightweight linen pulls coming with the lace-trimmed skirt trend. Its cream and ruby print set it apart from Jennifer Lawrence and Zoë Kravitz's colorless takes on the summer signature last year. She also wore the square-toe Mary Janes from Portuguese footwear brand EDLA she paired with butter yellow easy pants last month. Last but certainly not least, Hadid doubled up on Miuccia Prada designs with a $4,400 suede, beige-tinted tote from Prada's sister brand, Miu Miu.

Gigi Hadid's go-to tank tops seem to be evolving in 2026. Earlier this year, the Guest In Residence founder preferred skintight styles usually woven from stark white ribbing. That way, her Miu Miu It bag or cowboy boots automatically took a surprisingly sporty turn.

This week, her Prada top channeled effortless, "I just threw this on" supermodels minutes before a '90s fashion show. It's only a matter of time before Bella Hadid's taste in tanks follows suit.

Earlier this week, Marie Claire's fashion writer, Meguire Hennes, analyzed an array of celebrity airport outfits, all of which are raising the stakes when it comes to vacation dressing. It seems more than appropriate to add model Gigi Hadid to the roster of celebrities who regularly provide style inspiration, whether it's at the airport or elsewhere.

On Friday, June 26, the Guest in Residence founder was photographed arriving at JFK Airport in New York in an outfit combining summery trends and timeless closet staples.

Proving that loafers work all year round, Hadid added an unexpected pop of color to her outfit with a pair of Tory Burch's Ballet Loafers in the sold-out Yellow Cornbread shade. While Hadid's exact yellow shoes are unavailable, it's still possible to shop the same style in a wide range of shades.

Unsurprisingly, Hadid's sleek outfit also tapped into Summer 2026's recurring butter yellow trend. The model and designer wore a layer tee from her very own brand—Guest in Residence—which consists of a long-sleeve butter yellow T-shirt, with a blue tee over the top. A pair of cream pants completed the chic yet comfortable travel outfit.

For accessories, Hadid carried Miu Miu's Vivant Leather Bag in Cognac, which retails for $4,400, while wheeling Rimowa's $990 Essential Cabin Bag in Papaya Orange Gloss.

For jewelry, Hadid opted for a Jacquie Aiche Open Eye Diamond Necklace, Missoma's sold-out Twisted Heart Hoop Earrings, and a Custom Charm Necklace from Hart.

Basically, the model seems to have perfected her airport style, while also providing a ton of inspiration to anyone about to embark on their summer vacation.

Sunday, June 21, marked the longest day of the year, meaning the most daylight hours to sample the straw totes, breezy dresses, and surprisingly chic flip-flops celebrities have been wearing all June. Personally, I spent the weekend in the easy pants trend that’s making work outfits feel even comfier than pajamas.

Ahead, I'm sharing exactly how A-listers wore easy pants first—and how I make them work at 37 weeks pregnant. Unlike other summer trends, easy pants work for all ages, sizes, and even as maternity clothes. Can your average summer micro shorts say that? Didn't think so.

The Easy Summer Pant Trend

According to Kendall Jenner, Anne Hathaway, Gigi Hadid, and every style writer I follow on Substack, it’s the summer of the Big Easy Pant. These are the wearable equivalent of an Aperol Spritz (or your summer cocktail/mocktail of choice) on a Summer Friday patio at sunset: simple and refreshing, totally relaxed.

Of course, when styled with a Balenciaga Rodeo bag or an elite summer sandal, even the most laid-back linen pants still manage to look dressier than they feel. And while Jenner’s as loyal as ever to The Row’s quadruple-digit take, I’ve found dozens of others for much less.

How I Style It

For me, these under-$100 easy pants and structured top were a comfortable-yet-polished pairing for my last day at the office before maternity leave. (Elastic waistbands and roomy shirts are my wardrobe MVPs right now.) For anyone else, a poplin top plus a linen pant will equal a no-brainer outfit for commuting when it’s hot as hell outside. Not pictured: The star of my last newsletter, Alex Mill’s Perfect tote, which is still delivering on its namesake promise two weeks later.

A beachy escape from the city isn’t in the cards for me this summer. But I’m bringing the coastal energy to upcoming stroller walks through the park with these breathable gingham easy pants and equally Cape Cod-coded accessories.

Hailey Bieber assumed the butter yellow color trend would melt away last summer after she declared it was "played out." Loewe, Givenchy, and Louis Vuitton initially spread it across Spring 2024 runway shows after all. Surely the softer-than-sunshine pastel would expire sometime in the next year, right? Turns out, fashion girls only stocked their closets with even more butter yellow, waiting for its 2026 return. (Or should I say re-churn?)

Weeks after Bieber suggested lemon yellow should become the next It shade, Spring 2026 runway shows from Chanel, Dior, Loewe, Eckhaus Latta, Aje, Sandy Liang, and more respectfully disagreed. Simultaneously, Celine, McQueen, and Dries Van Noten scattered lemon yellow seeds onto competing catwalks. In the end, the creamier color won the most A-list endorsements.

As soon as designers gave Sabrina Carpenter, Selena Gomez, and Gigi Hadid the green light, they wasted no time churning out butter yellow looks. First, the new neutral melted onto Carpenter's under $350 leather jacket. Then, she butter-maxxed her naked dress at the Dior Cruise 2027 show.

This foodie flavor of yellow will always be a red carpet staple—even Bieber's vintage Versace dress directly opposed her claim last February. But it's also becoming more versatile by the day on the street style scene. Both Hadid and Gomez styled the shade atop easy-breezy summer pants.

See? There's plenty of ways to sculpt butter yellow to your personal style. At this rate, it might never reach "played out" status. If you agree, stock up on seven celebrity outfits featuring summer's butter yellow color trend.

Olivia Munn's Butter Yellow Outfit

Olivia Munn couldn't wait to sample the butter yellow color trend. Right away on April 1, the actor traded a traditional white button-down for a buttery Oxford tucked into black, high-rise trousers. Accessorizing with matching sunglasses and ankle-strap stilettos made her white-to-yellow switch feel so casual.

Sabrina Carpenter's Butter Yellow Outfit

Butter yellow has always played a part in Carpenter's on-stage persona. Two years after it joined her Governor’s Ball costume rack, the Grammy winner sourced Australian brand My Mum Made It for the specific pigment. Buttoning up her leather $349 jacket turned it into her shirt, alongside cuffed jeans, Jacquemus mules, and a vintage Chanel bag.

Mindy Kaling's Butter Yellow Outfit

Mindy Kaling was a vision in butter during her Not Suitable For Work press tour in late May. Her stylist, Erin Walsh, taste-tested the trend with help from Simkhai's sold-out Loulou Dress. Every element delivered a take on the trend, including the spaghetti straps, the leather bodice, and the hem's 3-D floral appliqués.

Vittoria Ceretti's Butter Yellow Outfit

Heather gray crewnecks were no match for Vittoria Ceretti's butter yellow hoodie in early June. The model styled the zip-up sweatshirt like she would if it was black, gray, white, or brown: with a white crop top, pinstripe drawstring pants, rare Salomon sneakers, and her burgundy Hermès Kelly Bag.

Selena Gomez's Butter Yellow Outfit

Ceretti didn't complete her butter yellow sweatsuit, but Gomez's baggy sweatpants would've been a perfect match. For her break from filming Only Murders In the Building Season 6, the Rare Beauty founder put comfort first in a gray fisherman sweater and equally effortless, wide-leg sweats. Ugg's $125 Elea Slippers were just a few tints too beige to be butter, but there's still time for the Californian label to tap in.

Gigi Hadid's Butter Yellow Outfit

White, sky blue, and even white pants should step aside. Hadid followed Gomez's lead with butter yellow pants of her own. The Guest In Residence founder's fabric of choice seemed to be linen, to match the no-fuss feel of her black Campbell and Kramer long-sleeve and matching Mary Janes.

Lindsay Lohan's Butter Yellow Outfit

Gomez's take on the butter yellow trend remained behind the camera, but Lindsay Lohan gave it a proper Hollywood close-up on the set of Count My Lies. Her character, Violet Lockhart, looked every bit her rich-mom self in a chic trench coat and the Bermuda shorts trend. She offset the butter of it all with a classic white tank top and suede chestnut pumps.

Gigi and Bella Hadid's personal styles are so distinct, I've always been able to tell them apart. They might be the world's only sisters that leave each other's closets alone. But Gigi Hadid's Instagram post on June 8 made me do a double take: She styled a jeans and cowboy boots outfit fresh from Bella's Western-chic collection.

It seems the Hadids recently spent some time together at Bella's Fort Worth, Texas, ranch. Gigi went full Bella mode for the reunion, riding horses, savoring bonfires, and dressing the part. One photo captured Gigi in classic Americana pieces ready for a day on the ranch. Up top, she kept it casual in a sleeveless white tank. Baggy vertical ribbing made the basic a bit more rugged than Kylie Jenner or Anya Taylor-Joy's.

All in all, this cowgirl top was made to be worn with jeans. Gigi stayed true to the straight-leg trend, but they certainly weren't the same style she wore with mesh ballet flats last week. Subtle patchwork squares atop her knees set them apart from the rest of her denim collection. Props to her for finding a pair with hems wide enough for cowboy boots. That could be a skill she picked up from her horse girl sister.

Gigi's boots had to have been a vintage find. Crinkled leather atop each embroidered, terracotta shaft and chocolate-covered upper suggested they lived a long life on another cowgirl's shoe rack. Maybe that's precisely why Gigi gravitated toward them. This specific color combination suggested she scored them from Justin Roper, a bootmaker right there in Fort Worth.

To finish, Gigi committed to the country-cool bit with a black cowboy hat, which appeared to be on loan from Bella. Two years ago, the latter supermodel styled an almost identical cap at a Kemo Sabe pop-up during New York Fashion Week.

I wouldn't be surprised if Gigi didn't bring a single suitcase to Fort Worth. That's how spot on her country-coded Bella recreation looked. In March 2025, the 'Ôrəbella founder's signature Texas style resurfaced in NYC. First, she tucked a familiar white tank top into high-waisted jeans. (They were completely patchwork-less, though.)

Then, she stacked each stovepipe-straight leg over brown cowboy boots. Bella wasn't in Texas anymore, so she opted out of cowboy hat. But her Saint Laurent tote's grommeted, chocolate suede made up for any lost rodeo-ready energy.

Now that Gigi has experienced life (and looks) on a ranch, I'd say it's time for Bella to jet to her neck of the woods: a penthouse in NoHo, Manhattan. Imagine seeing both Hadids wearing Guest In Residence knitwear, summer color trends, and mesh ballet flats around NYC. My sister and I would have no choice but to channel their off-duty outfits.

However, something tells me Bella would feel more at home at Gigi's Pennsylvania farm house. No matter where they meet next, here's hoping their summer styles overlap more often.

Believe it or not, butter yellow was still in its churning phase last summer. Now, fashion plates are spreading the color trend across all of street style. Online searches are up 37-percent from summer 2025, thanks to new-to-butter-yellow It girls like Gigi Hadid.

This time last year, Hadid took Hailey Bieber's word for it and wore lemon yellow instead of the "played out" butter. Thankfully, she's giving the pastel shade another chance this year. The model's second butter select of the season third-wheeled her June 7 date at Santa Monica's Giorgio Baldi with Bradley Cooper.

Both A-listers kept it casual in laid-back looks. Hadid's buttery pants animated her off-duty outfit a bit beyond Cooper's, though. The wide legs and elasticized waistband on her linen bottoms matched the easy-breezy energy of her anti-lemon hue.

Up top, Guest In Residence founder traded her label's knitwear for a black long-sleeve from Campbell and Kramer. It's a basics brand beloved by Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner, too.

Pointy pumps would've taken the black-and-yellow set to an entirely new level of luxe. She continued her weeks-long flats streak with leather Mary Janes from Portugal footwear brand EDLA, though. Contrary to the mesh ballet flats she wore in New York City last week, each high-vamp, bow-tied toe box was squared off. This silhouette switch was a simple hack to make Hadid stand out amongst a sea of Mary Jane trends. Simone Ashley, Selena Gomez, and Jennifer Lawrence all prefer their Summer 2026 flats with round toes.

Hadid is churning out butter yellow looks left and right this month. Last week, she sourced her own Guest In Residence collection for a chic summer cardigan. If it wasn't for the sweater's cashmere-linen blend, it could've been cut from the same cloth as her lightweight pants. While this shade of yellow shines in linen, Selena Gomez proved the color trend also makes sweatpants extra-effortless.

Butter yellow is the street style scene's leading neutral, but on Spring 2026 runways, the easy-to-elevate tint looked as delicious as ever. Chanel, Loewe, Miu Miu, Dior, Rabanne, and more demonstrated its day-to-night potential. Make sure butter yellow melts into every section of your summer closet, the Gigi Hadid Way.

The mesh ballet flats trend is certainly getting its steps in this summer. After traveling to London with Selena Gomez and Greece alongside Lily Collins, the sheer flats found their way back home. On June 4, Gigi Hadid brought the shoe trend out of storage in New York City, a street style scene it's always dominated.

Somehow, the summer essential wasn't in Bella Hadid's 2026 Cannes Film Festival luggage. (She opted for silver Puma sneakers, snakeskin sandals, and flip-flops instead.) So, Gigi Hadid made up for her sister's lost ballet flats with her first see-through style of the season.

Fashion girls will recognize them as Alaïa's cult-collected fishnet flats. You know the ones: They went viral in 2024, but remain It shoes to this day. They're still the Alaïas Jennifer Lawrence, Margot Robbie, and Anne Hathaway fell for, complete with high vamps, slim straps, and pedicure-revealing netting. One year after the $990 white pair joined Hadid's shoe rack, she re-wore them with summer's leading jeans trend.

Celebrities have always loved styling mesh ballet flats with denim. Collins, Lawrence, Lori Harvey, and Dua Lipa realized the set's French girl-inspired potential years ago. Some combinations—like jeans and Alaïas—only get more luxe with time.

Contrary to J.Law (whose baggy bottoms reveal just a sliver of each flat), Hadid tapped the stovepipe jeans trend. Not a single element went unnoticed beneath the ankle-grazing hemline, not even the almost invisible soles.

Shorts and sandal trends go together like Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper. This summer, more and more celebrities are delaying the start of shorts season for jeans trends, though. Gomez slipped toe-ring sandals beneath flared denim, and Hailey Bieber can't stop doing the same with heeled flip-flops.

Being honorary sandals, mesh ballet flats look just as chic with denim trends. Plus, your feet aren't on full display. Talk about a win-win.

I'm coming to you live from my balcony, where neighbors are judging my seemingly unseasonal sweater. What they don't know is I'm as cool right now as I would be in a tank top. Don't believe me? Gigi Hadid proved summer color trends are the key to styling cardigans even as temperatures climb. That's exactly why our butter yellow sweaters work.

Hadid and I are both in a buttery mood this week—but no, we're not melting. On June 3, the model arrived at Or'esh Mediterranean Restaurant in a long-sleeve some might save for chillier forecasts. She sourced her own knitwear label, Guest In Residence, for the $295 Rib Stealth Cardigan, woven from a cashmere-linen blend. (Adding linen to the mix proves she designed it with summer in mind.)

Hadid's notes say she "reimagined" the cashmere-only Stealth Cardigan "for warmer days." Everything shoppers love about the well-reviewed style—including the V-neck shawl collar and hidden hook-and-eye closure—returned, except in a super lightweight, ribbed pattern. The blend also makes the Rib Stealth Cardigan a bit more wallet-friendly at $295.

Hadid could've completed the matching yellow set with the $495 Rib Everywear Pant, but instead, she chose the 100-percent cashmere option. (My sweater's not so shocking now, is it, neighbors?) Guest In Residence says the elasticized, straight-leg bottoms are one of the founder's "go-to pieces." So much so, she's worn them for the past four summers straight. Hadid owns the Everywear Pant in navy blue, black, gray, and even butter yellow. It seems the beige "Sandstone" shade is the newest addition to Hadid's collection.

Sure, her loungewear didn't match, but her accessories did. This take on the soft loafers trend was cut from the same chocolate brown suede as Hadid's shoulder bag.

Some fashion girls would say the butter yellow color trend peaked in Spring 2025. (That's when the not-quite-lemon shade dominated Chanel, Alaïa, Toteme, and Maison Margiela's runways after a slow start in 2024.)

Hadid's Guest In Residence catalog argues otherwise. The hue spreads from sweaters to polos and button-downs. Even her non-Guest In Residence pieces endorse butter's comeback, including the Self-Portrait mini dress she wore to a Victoria's Secret casting call late last month.

Hadid's influence is so powerful, she could declare butter yellow a neutral for Summer 2026 and beyond. She'd have Chanel, Dior, Stella McCartney, and Loewe's spring fashion shows in her corner. Plus, Selena Gomez, Millie Bobby Brown, and more have already reunited with the color this season.

What I'm hearing is I can (and should) style my buttery sweaters as effortlessly as a white T-shirt.

Celebrities—they're just like us! They love to shop (and style) summer's biggest fashion trends. But, unlike the A-listers I follow on Instagram, I don't have an endless budget, so I shop them all while they're discounted. So, I'm using Nordstrom's Half-Yearly Sale to do just that.

From strawberry red hues that will do away with your minimalist style agenda to the perfect pair of Kendall Jenner-approved Adidas sneakers, I found enough It Girl-approved summer trends to restock my capsule wardrobe, all at Nordstrom. The massive sale offers discounts of up to 50 percent, so it's the perfect excuse to shop as the seasons turn. It's giving "new month, new me" energy in the best way.

Ahead, shop all the new-to-sale goodness to tap into the very best celebrity style moments from the last few weeks. The deals wrap up on June 1, so shop them now while you can.

Strawberry Red

Strawberry girl summer is very much back for 2026—just ask Zoë Kravitz. The devout neutrals superfan co-signed the look courtesy of a sporty baseball cap, but I believe you can go so much further. Layer on a thin snap-front top or show up to a wedding in a berry-hued midi dress, and you'll master the look.

Soft Footwear

If you know me, you know I love comfortable footwear. So, spring and summer's soft shoe trend is right up my alley. The shoes in this category are designed to be blister-free and easy to wear on long treks around the city. Go the Gigi Hadid route and opt for softer-feeling loafers, or step into high-vamp flats for added coverage.

White Summer Dresses

I'm a neutral girl at heart, and clearly, so is Daisy Edgar-Jones. The Normal People star stepped out in a sweet-feeling Mango midi not too long ago, and it caught my attention. Her exact style isn't on sale, sadly, but I found a few other white dresses that help you master the look for less.

Dainty Polka Dots

Leave it to Katie Holmes to convince you to try a new trend. The actress and longtime style icon stepped out in a sheer polka-dot top that combined the naked-look trend with her impeccable sense of style. Fashion is feeling spotty right now—just ask Gigi Hadid and Demi Moore—so it's the best time ever to get on the trend.

Adidas Sneakers

Kendall Jenner and I agree on one thing—Adidas sneakers are never a bad idea. The supermodel just stepped out in a pair of black Superstar-style sneakers from the label, and it reminded me to test-drive them. I've long been a Tokyo superfan, but her co-sign is proof that I need to expand my horizons.

Victoria's Secret selected the perfect supermodel to show contestants at the nationwide VS Fashion Show casting calls how it's done: Gigi Hadid, an Angel since 2015. She didn't just share top-tier modeling tips with the auditionees in Miami on May 21. She sent them home with some street style inspiration, too, in a drop-waist polka-dot skirt.

The American lingerie label took over Florida's Dadeland Mall this week, where thousands of wannabe Angels fluttered their wings down a makeshift catwalk. Hadid (and a panel of judges) applauded for every strut, but her outfit deserved the spotlight, too. Instead of channeling lingerie dressing in a Victoria's Secret bra, she gave off major cool-girl energy in an ivory vest top.

She stacked its buttons over a matching midi skirt, featuring a subtle drop-waist and a bubbled, calf-grazing hemline. It's unclear where Hadid found the polka dotted piece. But the way it flowed gracefully as she walked made it perfect for a summer day in Miami—or a turn on the catwalk. Plus, it picked up where polka-dots left off on Valentino, Elie Saab, Nina Ricci, Patou, and Cecilie Bahnsen's spring runways.

To finish, the Guest in Residence founder coordinated the midi's black dots to pointy slingback pumps. She popped on itty-bitty hoop earrings, a yellow gold necklace stack, and got her signature VS bombshell blowout.

The Victoria's Secret casting calls began in L.A. on May 13. Since then, only select semi-finalists have made it to the next round, where they'll compete for the chance to walk in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and earn an exclusive contract with IMG Models.

Hadid's fellow Angel, Paloma Elsesser, surprised models at the L.A. auditions. The brand ambassador graced the Beverly Center in the capri pants trend and an ivory, crocheted mini dress-turned-top. She literally looked angelic in all-white attire. Hadid prefers her capris in denim, but Elsesser's were stark white, similar to the polka-dot pair Hailey Bieber (another VS spokesmodel) wore last year with the heeled flip-flops trend.

The casting calls have two more stops before the door to becoming an Angel shuts. First, they'll hit Houston on May 29 and 30, before closing the chapter in Chicago on June 3 and 4. This is your sign to apply today, and if you need help picking your audition outfit, shop the Hadid-approved picks below.

Welcome to Put Together, “Marie Claire’s” new fashion video series.

Every other week on Instagram and TikTok, Fashion Editor Lauren Tappan breaks down the season’s biggest trends—from celebrity style moments to runway standouts—and shows how to make them feel wearable in real life. Shop every piece featured here.

This week, we’re stepping into high-vamp flats. Defined by a glove-like fit and an extended silhouette, this ballerina-inspired style is quickly becoming a favorite among designers and A-listers. Labels like Toteme, Akris, and Jil Sander embraced the look on their Spring 2026 runways. Meanwhile, Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, and Katie Holmes have already made high-vamps a staple in their off-duty wardrobes.

Ahead, discover how to wear the polished shoe trend for spring, from office-friendly outfits to late-night looks.

Pointed Flats Add Instant Polish

Margaux’s Parra flats feature a pointy silhouette that provides an undeniably polished feel. For chilly spring temperatures, coordinate these elegant shoes with a cashmere sweater, white jeans, and a sharp trench coat (Marie Claire editors are currently obsessing over Sézane's version).

Mary Janes Mean Business

This outfit is for all the corporate gals out there. You can never go wrong with a crisp button-down shirt and a pair of tailored trousers. Ground the look in Mansur Gavriel’s Mary Jane flats for a nine-to-five uniform that will earn you endless compliments from co-workers.

For the color palette, consider combining cool blue and chocolate brown—one of this spring’s most viral color mashups.

Leopard Flats Go After Dark

Marion Parke puts a sophisticated spin on the high-vamp flats trend with a leopard-print exterior and a slingback silhouette. Elevate things even further with a lace-trimmed dress and a sleek blazer.

Paired with shimmering gold jewelry and an embellished bag, this outfit is perfect for nights on the town.

Gigi Hadid has a long night of sky-high stilettos ahead of her at the 2026 Met Gala. So she's wearing Miu Miu ballet flats for as long as possible on the first Monday in May, before it's time to slip into her red carpet dress. Knowing Hadid, she won't ditch the Mary Janes until the minute her sprinter van's doors open.

Minutes before Hadid found her seat in the makeup chair (where she'll presumably stay for the next few hours), paparazzi spotted her outside the Carlyle Hotel in an off-duty outfit. For Hadid, four-figure Miu Miu flats are considered casual, even the tricky-to-track-down, satin Mary Janes. If their contrasting elastic straps, round toe boxes, and slipper-esque soles seem familiar, that's because Olivia Rodrigo just wore a baby-pink pair to host and perform on Saturday Night Live. The cult-collected shoes also joined Rodrigo on-stage during an American Express concert last October, except the satin was the same olive shade of green as Hadid's.

That said, these Miu Mius are one of few It-shoes that can bridge the gap between putting comfort first and serving a look. Case in point: The ballet flats looked just as chic with a heather gray crewneck and the lace-trimmed skirt trend as they did Rodrigo's SNL babydoll dress.

The first Monday in May marked the grand return of Hadid's new ballet flats, following an eight-month hiatus. Why dust them off now? Knowing the supermodel, she could be teasing the designer behind her 2026 Met Gala red carpet dress. The Met mainstay used the same not-so-sneaky teaser last year, after all.

On May 2, 2025, three days before tackling the "Tailored for You" dress code, she wore Miu Miu's Arcadie Bag around New York City. Then, just as fans suspected, the Italian label dressed her for the 2025 Met Gala in a custom metallic-gold gown, inspired by Josephine Baker. (She traded the Arcadie for the Wander Bag, though both were sculpted from the same Matelassé technique.)

Two days later, Hadid officially debuted the olive-green ballerinas steps away from those iconic steps. They're her favorite pre- and post-stiletto shoes, two Met Galas in a row.

Can you feel that touch of warmth in the air? Yes, that’s right—spring has officially sprung. While I’m looking forward to visiting the cherry blossoms in Central Park and sipping on my favorite seasonal drink (a strawberry matcha from Blank Street, to be exact), I’m most excited about curating my collection of spring outfits.

Having already stocked my closet with balmy-weather basics—including tank tops, Bermuda shorts, and cropped jackets—I’m now in need of some fresh outfit formulas to put in heavy rotation. So naturally, I’ve turned to the celebrity crowd, where stylish A-listers are offering up plenty of inspiration.

Several weeks ago, Zendaya was spotted in a tailored trench coat, which she masterfully styled with a gauzy linen skirt and a pair of sophisticated loafers for a pared-down look. Not too long after that, Dakota Johnson took a similar minimalist approach, teaming a sleek slip dress with a cardigan and a pair of dainty ballet flats. Gigi Hadid, on the other hand, endorsed one of spring 2026’s most viral color trends, wearing a delectable tomato red sweater.

Ahead, you’ll find a selection of my favorite celebrity spring outfits that are beyond easy to copy. While these stars often wear luxury labels like The Row, Saint Laurent, and Burberry, you don’t have to break the bank to recreate their looks. Keep scrolling to discover a range of affordable styles from brands like Reformation, Madewell, and more.

Kendall Jenner

Although it’s 70 degrees as I write this story, I don’t want to get my hopes up just yet. Springtime temperatures often fluctuate, so I plan to prepare for the worst with this cozy look from Kendall Jenner. The model is seen here wearing a $2,295 trench coat from Burberry, but I’ve found this budget-friendly alternative from Sézane instead. Coordinated with white pants and high-vamp flats, this look is guaranteed to turn me into an outfit repeater.

Dakota Johnson

If you haven’t heard, ‘90s minimalism is back for another spin around fashion’s trend cycle. Dakota Johnson recently embraced the retro aesthetic with a sumptuous slip dress coated in cool blue, a pair of easygoing ballet slippers, and a soft cardigan. Whether you’re heading to the office or going out to lunch, this polished uniform will rise to any occasion.

Zendaya

When Zendaya isn’t serving on the red carpet, she’s often dressed in streamlined off-duty outfits. Take, for example, this head-to-toe look from The Row. Composed of a roomy trench, an airy linen skirt, and a pair of glossy loafers, this combination is inherently simple. Consider it if you prefer to keep things effortless.

Bella Hadid

Yes, a barn jacket is a fall essential, but it can also work for spring. Bella Hadid proves just that, wearing the rugged outerwear style with white bottoms and a matching tee for a warm-weather feel. Follow her lead and throw some classic accessories into the mix—like a hardware-adorned belt, shimmering gold earrings, and wide-frame shades.

Hailey Bieber

Perhaps you’re going out for drinks with your beau or hitting up a local hotspot with your gals. Whatever the nighttime plan might be, you can always count on a trusty all-black outfit—and Hailey Bieber thinks so, too. Last month, the Rhode founder attended a dinner party wearing a satin top, a micro-mini skirt, and a set of flip-flop sandals (which just so happen to be one of spring’s most coveted shoe trends).

Gigi Hadid

Tomato girl spring has arrived, and Gigi Hadid is fully on board. The model championed the tasty color with a puff-sleeve buttoned sweater from her knitwear brand Guest in Residence. You’ll find her exact top below, along with straight-leg jeans and leather loafers to complete the look.

Spring 2026 shoe trends have significantly transformed my taste in loafers. Gone are the days of accepting my blister-ridden fate in a structured, tough-to-break-in shape. The rise of the soft loafers trend in celebrity street style has been a gift to my soles and my shoe rack.

The Row's Canal loafer—defined by high vamps, thin rubber soles, and supple calfskin—is the leader of the A-list's soft loafer revolution. Zendaya, Kendall Jenner, Jennifer Lawrence, Elle Fanning, Sofia Richie Grainge, and more own the exact same slides.

Zoë Kravitz is the latest to flaunt the slipper-adjacent loafers—though they were slightly overshadowed when she debuted a diamond ring around that finger. But on April 22, Kravitz made sure her chocolate brown suede pair got a moment in the spotlight when she styled them with a coordinating jacket in New York City.

Earlier this month, fellow minimalist Zendaya declared The Row's cozy-chic shoes travel-friendly, too. The black, patent leather Canals joined Z on her flight out of JFK airport after a nonstop The Drama press tour. Much like Kravitz, the Emmy winner doubled up on The Row pulls with a single-breasted trench coat. Its camel-colored canvas endorsed another Spring 2026 trend entirely.

The soft loafer trend isn't limited to one designer, though. Gigi Hadid got in on the foot-friendly action with ruched leather loafers from Miu Miu. Every element—including the monogrammed uppers, the elasticized heels, and slim treads—could be pancaked for easy storage. The $1,120 model comes in chocolate, black, and ivory. But by pairing the (sold-out) burgundy shade with a navy-collared barn jacket, she endorsed a rising color combination alongside a comfort-first footwear silhouette.

Jennifer Lawrence also prefers soft loafers that sample a spring color trend. Butter yellow suede decorated the unstructured silhouette of her on-sale The Row Vincits. These offer all the comfort-first features of orthopedic shoes, plus the insider appeal of a fashion girl-approved label.

J.Law adores styling them with equally-effortless, sweatpants-adjacent trousers, like the drawstring pants she wore on April 16. And with strawberry red on top, and powder pink on the bottom, butter yellow is suddenly back for round two.

I wish I could tell Kravitz, Zendaya, Hadid, and Lawrence they saved my soles from another season of tolerating blisters for fashion's sake. I haven't had to use one band-aid on my ankles this spring, and I don't expect to. I never imagined a style seen on Tod's, Loro Piana, Maison Margiela, and Fendi's spring runways would prioritize comfort without neglecting style. Needless to say, I'm sold.

Gigi Hadid made a welcome return to the red carpet on Saturday, April 18, wearing a custom silk gown in a rather nostalgic style.

As always, the Guest in Residence founder looked flawless on the red carpet for the 12th Annual Breakthrough Prize Awards in Los Angeles. Hadid—who is styled by Elizabeth Sulcer—opted for a custom David Koma gown, constructed from sumptuous white silk.

Importantly, Bella Hadid's sister signaled the return of one extremely nostalgic dress trend—the halter-neck. The model's neckline straps were adorned with a large brooch featuring a plethora of jewels.

For footwear, Hadid wore a pair of Andrea Wazen's Carol 75 Mules in White Satin, which feature crystal buckles and an open-toe design. Finally, jewelry from Anayam London Jewels added some extra sparkle to Hadid's outfit.

In a 2023 interview with W magazine, Hadid opened up about how she approaches her career. "Most of the craziest things in my life, they weren't goals or dreams because I didn't really think they were possible," she told the outlet. "If and when I make really specific goals, I can get quite tunnel-visioned. I've learned over the years that I enjoy the process more when I focus on being in the moment."

And if Hadid says the halter dress trend is back, it's most definitely back.

To help curb my shopping obsession, I tell myself a sweater is only worth the splurge if it has October-to-May styling potential. If I'm being honest, not many knits in my closet can do that. But on April 13, Gigi Hadid introduced me to a worthy contender that also aligns with seasonal color trends.

Paparazzi spotted the supermodel en route to a Tommy Hilfiger photoshoot. She wasn't wearing the designer's classic Americana co-ords—rather, she dressed in her own label, Guest In Residence. She styled the $695 Sculpted Cardigan, which boasts a cinched waist and puffy sleeves, with straight-leg indigo jeans, her brown suede Liffner bag, and dark leather loafers. Her only new accessory? Oversize tortoiseshell sunglasses from Jimmy Fairly.

Hadid released the fresh-from-the-garden tomato-red cashmere cardigan as part of the Guest in Residence Spring 2026 collection, but she could've worn it throughout the winter: Resort 2026 collections from Chloé and Celine had almost-identical takes on the seemingly off-season color.

The color trend fully ripened by the Spring 2026 shows. Proenza Schouler had a turtleneck with a thick ribbed trim, much like Hadid's cardigan, plus heeled sandals in the same vibrant shade.

Meanwhile, Prada, Loewe, and Lanvin let tomato sweaters shine by pairing them back to contrasting colors on the runway.

If you missed out on the first Tomato Girl Summer, Hadid's cardigan is an excellent reminder that it's not too late to join in on the fun. If her exact pick should sell out (like most Hadid-approved Guest In Residence styles do), don't worry: Her cool-girl catalog is stocked with the same eye-catching color in crewneck, turtleneck, and polo forms.

Guest In Residence's take on the rugby shirt trend is beloved in the Marie Claire offices. (Seriously: Multiple editors across departments have raved about it.) Naturally, founder Gigi Hadid is a fan—she's designed not one, but two for the brand, and often styles them in her off-duty outfits. On April 10, paparazzi spotted her wearing Guest in Residence's newest take on the preppy polo, the $465 Layered Stripe Rugby.

The latest addition to Hadid's growing collection of rugby shirts features white, semi-sheer long sleeves beneath her red, white, and blue collared T-shirt—a thoughtful consideration for tricky winter-to-spring styling. She paired it to straight-leg jeans and a chocolate brown leather bomber jacket, finished off by structured loafers and an oversize bag from Liffner. (Hadid's exact $695 suede style sold out, but the black shade is still shoppable.)

Celebrities started going all in on rugby tees back in 2023. Hailey Bieber and Rihanna twinned in Loewe's red, white, and blue long-sleeve within months of each other. Guest In Residence debuted its red-and-beige rugby shirt around the same time, and Hadid wasted no time styling it herself, often with jeans and white sneakers.

The rugby shirt's resurgence shows no signs of slowing down, as Issey Miyake, Lacoste, and Rabanne included it in their Spring 2026 collections. Rihanna approved its continued hold on fashion as early as mid-January—so, why not join the team now?

Spring 2026's shoe trends cemented flats as the most sought-after silhouette—whether they come in high-vamp, ballet, or loafer form. Celebrities have been the biggest advocate of their revival, making it an integral piece of their go-to everyday outfits.

Like most fashion girls, Zendaya, Kendall Jenner, Kaia Gerber, and both Hadid sisters are embracing camel jackets and trench-adjacent outerwear in their spring wardrobes. The uncanny coincidence-turned-constant? Most stars are coupling them with leather flats. Gerber, for one, rarely wears Repetto ballerinas without a khaki trench, while Jenner tends to double up on The Row when it comes for her high-vamp flats and single-breasted coats. Meanwhile, Bella Hadid went with a cropped look paired back to soft loafers during Paris Fashion Week; a few weeks later, sister Gigi got the footwear memo, styling hers with a barn jacket.

The camel jacket and flat combination has stood the test of time, and is now bubbling up in the trend cycle as the ultimate spring outfit formula. Ahead, see the best celebrity camel coat outfits with flats. You'll never wear trenches with any other shoe trend again.

Kaia Gerber's Camel Trench With Repetto Ballet Flats

Gerber is certainly getting her money's worth on her $470 Repetto Ballet Flats. By our unofficial count, she's worn them over 40 times since late 2024. Recently, they've been the perfect match to her khaki coats, which feature military-esque epaulettes and waist ties she rarely uses. On Feb. 5, Gerber stopped by Sombr’s listening party in the familiar outfit, except her laptop-friendly bag made her look ready for a 9-to-5 shift.

Kendall Jenner's Camel Coat With High-Vamp Flats From The Row

High-vamp flats (ballets that stretch up closer to the ankle) have been stuck to Jenner’s soles like glue this spring. Her obsession began two months ago, but her go-to look—a camel trench with white jeans—simply doesn't get old. Both the model’s coat and shoes boasted The Row price tags, but you can channel the same energy with these under-$200 selects.

Bella Hadid's Camel Jacket With Loafers

Bella Hadid’s Paris Fashion Week run spotlighted one “the coat is the outfit” moment after another. On March 2, however, low-to-the-ground loafers matched the main character energy of her camel bomber. Like Jenner, stark white jeans made the pieces feel surprisingly springy. Plus, Hadid’s classic loafers offered a traditional alternative to some of the trending flat styles we've seen this year.

Kendall Jenner's Camel Cardigan With The Row High-Vamp Flats

Jenner prefers to pair camel coats and high-vamp flats with jeans, but she’s not loyal to a specific wash—as long as they’re of the straight-leg variety, like the dark denim she wore on March 12, she's good. Instead of the classic trench she debuted a month prior, Jenner chose a cropped cardigan in the same camel hue, minus a shirt underneath, to go with her favorite The Row flats.

Zendaya's Camel Coat With Soft Loafers From The Row

Who else feels extra grateful for Zendaya's The Drama press tour this spring? Not only did she bless Instagram feeds with "something old, new, borrowed, and blue," the actor gave us some minimalist spring outfit inspiration, too. She looked every bit The Row muse in a four-figure trench and the soft loafers trend at the airport in April. Her coat was the typical length of trenches, except with a Peter Pan collar and one lone button in lieu of a belt. As for her Canal Loafers, you may recognize their shape (or lack there of) from Kravitz, Elle Fanning, and Jenner's own collections.

Gigi Hadid's Camel Barn Jacket With Miu Miu Soft Loafers

Since Gigi and Bella Hadid’s aesthetics are so different, you might assume the two would go for different spring uniforms. This just proves the versatility of the camel-jacket-and-flats combo. This weekend, Gigi stepped out in a knee-length barn jacket, navy polo, light-wash jeans, and burgundy loafers, similar to her sister's PFW 'fit. The slouchy yet chic Miu Mius joined her shoe rack last May, but they perfectly aligned with the soft loafer trend we've seen on Kravitz, Jenner, Dakota Johnson, and more this season.

Gigi Hadid may be an A-lister, but she's fluent in New York City It Girl. She's mastered the crowd's street style formulas for years. Her latest outfit—pairing a a Spring 2026 shoe trend with jeans—is proof.

In a move her fellow NoHo-based New Yorkers would approve, Hadid returned to the sidewalk style scene on April 4 looking like she never left. She stacked a navy long-sleeved polo with baggy straight-leg jeans (a celebrity-beloved denim trend for 2026) beneath a khaki-colored barn jacket. (The circa-2024 It coat has legs, as she, Zoë Kravitz, and Rosalía have proved.) The biggest draw, though, were her soft loafers, a style fashion girls from Meghan Markle to Zenday have embraced for spring in NYC, L.A., and even abroad.

Loafers are the leading winter-to-spring footwear trend on Hadid's shoe rack, as proven by her burgundy Miu Miu pair this weekend. Stark white socks enhanced their merlot-tinted leather. Spring 2026 color combinations aside, hers were relatively laid-back: Unlike more traditional takes on the silhouette, the elasticized heels, monogrammed vamps, and ultra-slim flexible soles read more like street-proof slippers.

Clearly, the Guest In Residence founder is a fan of their shape (or lack there of): She owns multiple pairs of the $1,100 loafer. Hadid debuted the burgundy Miu Mius last May, alongside similar light-wash Levi's jeans and a pinstripe Oxford shirt from Gant.

Burgundy was all over the spring runways at Balenciaga, Chanel, and Tory Burch, so Hadid knew now was the time to give the soft loafers another go. She's been wearing these shoes for a year already, but the shade-style combination isn't going anywhere: Similar styles were spotted at the Versace, Ferrari, Willy Chavarria, and Louis Vuitton spring fashion shows. Plus, fellow known loafer lovers like Jenner, Kravitz, Zendaya, and Sarah Pidgeon remain loyal to their noir counterparts. That said, Hadid has the proven ability to influence even Hollywood's most elite VIPs, so shop the soft loafer trend in merlot before it's everywhere.

After working in fashion for nearly a decade, I’m not easily fazed by a celebrity-backed fashion brand—but few have lingered in my mind quite like Gigi Hadid’s Guest in Residence. Founded in 2022, it has cultivated its It Girl appeal with Margot Robbie, Sabrina Carpenter, and legions of online devotees as fans who flock to (and sell out) its cashmere knits and cold-weather accessories.

The brand's immediate virality may have come from Hadid's celebrity, but the hype hasn't died down. Inspired by the passed-down cashmere of the model's youth, Guest in Residence collection mixes a retro sensibility with of-the-moment color trends and prints. As creative director of the New York-based label, Hadid draws on her fashion insider perspective to create true modern heirlooms. But with prices ranging from $95 to $1,295, is it worth the hype? I called on the very stylish women of Marie Claire to find out.

One mention of Guest in Residence in our Slack channel garnered instant responses, with nearly every saffer in our Manhattan office clamoring for a chance to test out a piece or two. Seven editors ultimately put an array of styles, from après-ski-inspired turtlenecks to chunky sweater jackets, to the test during one of New York City’s coldest winters on record. Spoiler: We weren't disappointed.

From the array of best-selling styles and new-in options we tried, each Guest in Residence piece felt like it earned a spot in our knitwear rotations after just a few wears. Ahead, each of our very savvy (and, honestly, jaded) editors shares their thoughts on their picks.

Hannah Baxter, Beauty Director

"There are few things I love more in this world than cashmere. My closet is already stacked to the gills with sweaters, but this rugby style is a very special addition. I love the cropped fit that shows off a sliver of skin with low-rise pants or hits right at the waist. The fabric's drape is also incredibly elegant. The true marker of this being more of a luxury item, though, is the fit, and, again, that perfectly structured drape. I love how many color options are available, too, so don’t mind me if I’m spotted around town in at least two other variations of this sweater this winter." — Hannah Baxter, Beauty Director

Christina DAmbrosio, Deputy Director, Social

"New Yorkers know the only way to survive a winter this cold is by piling on every cozy layer they own before heading out the door. Enter: the Marlowe Cable Cardigan. This wool-cashmere-blend sweater is super soft, and has so many gorgeous details. I especially love the fabric-covered buttons and contrast stitching. Normally, I would wear a lighter-weight sweater, but the cable knit works overtime to provide much-needed protection against the wind chill." — Christina DAmbrosio, Deputy Director, Social

Julia Marzovilla, Fashion Commerce Editor

"Red is quickly becoming my go-to winter shade, and a lot of my love for the color came from how much I love this knit. From the sweet-feeling collared detail to the perfect waist-hitting fit, it quickly became a go-to for me. It's chunky, but not itchy (a rare combination). Even for me, a person for whom black is a year-round neutral, it was a delightful break from the routine. Ms. Hadid, you have nailed it!" — Julia Marzovilla, Fashion E-Commerce Editor

Lauren Tappan, Fashion Editor

"Guest In Residence is the chic knitwear brand on every fashion editor's radar, so of course I was thrilled about the opportunity to get my hands on the brand’s Cozy Crew sweater. Cut from a sumptuous cashmere blend, this jumper is unbelievably soft. It makes me feel like I’m wrapped up in a plush blanket. It's also beautifully designed: I love the contrast trim and ribbed hemline. Paired with dark-wash jeans and sleek black boots, this look is ideal for a casual day in the office or a laid-back weekend outing." — Lauren Tappan, Fashion Editor

"As a sweater stan, it feels like my duty to put you on one of the softest sweaters I've ever touched. True to its name, Guest in Residence’s Sculpted Cardigan in Butter feels that soft. With chic shoulder pads and tortoiseshell buttons, this sweater is a must-have for your winter wardrobe." — Ashlyn Delaney, Associate Social Media Manager

"I’m not kidding when I say that this is the most luxurious cashmere I’ve ever had the pleasure of wearing. The instant I put this coat on, I felt 20 degrees warmer, which was surprising, considering it isn’t especially heavy or bulky. Its relaxed double-breasted silhouette makes it easy to throw on over any outfit for an added touch of polish. I will say, though, this coat runs pretty oversized—a size small fits perfectly, when I’m typically a large. At $1,495, it's an investment piece, for sure, but it's well-worth the splurge when it's a piece you can wear on repeat every winter." — Brooke Knappenberger, Associate Commerce Editor

"I’ve been eyeing the quarter-zip trend ever since Chanel's Métiers d'Art 2026 show opened with a tan sweater you’d imagine on a hedge fund manager, rather than a fashion girl. So, naturally, Guest in Residences’ half zip caught my eye. I styled it with my favorite pair of thrifted navy pinstripe trousers and silver Mary Janes. I'm no Chanel model, but I did feel pretty close to it!" — Emma Childs, Fashion Features Editor

Greetings from the start of New York Fashion Week, where my list of styling tips and It pieces to try is growing by the minute. Ralph Lauren advocated for stacking corsets over turtlenecks and an equestrian boot comeback; ’90s scrunchies paired to pencil skirts ruled Marc Jacobs; Sandy Liang reinvented the slipper shoes trend for maximum coziness; and Tory Burch's Fall runway came with at least three bags I expect to see on cool girls’ arms by September. Through it all, I’ve been pounding the pavement between shows with the help of an It girl swap for classic ballerinas: the high-vamp flats trend. Trust me when I say this is an extremely versatile—and surprisingly comfortable—shoe on the rise in street style.

Once Marie Claire fashion editor Lauren Tappan highlighted high-vamp flats in a recent story, I couldn’t stop noticing them. Gigi Hadid slips into her Mansur Gavriel pair between modeling gigs, while Kendall Jenner takes The Row’s out to dinner even more often than her sister, Kylie. Harry Styles even wore a version onstage at the Grammys this month. (He chose a bow-topped pair by Dior, of course.)

Since this shoe trend is defined by the shape—a high-on-the-foot rise that our editors have started calling a “turtleneck flat”—there’s no limit on the colors, patterns, and price points to shop it. The metallic leather below is high on my wish list. But I’m already styling a more low-key romantic pair…

How I Style It

Comfort is my head-to-toe priority when I’m reporting from New York Fashion Week. I didn’t want to be too neutral with my COS sweatshirt, extra-wide Madewell trousers, and scarf coat, so I added Margaux’s high-vamp flats. Any time I glanced down at the dusty rose shade, I smiled: for the pop of color, and for the padded footbed that felt sooo good even after a long day on my feet.

I’m also a little in love with how this high-rise shoe looks with a contrasting sock underneath. So for my NYFW-approved take on a Valentine’s Day outfit, I’ll stack red socks under my black flats—before stacking on the rest of my favorite elevated basics for the shows.

The suede coat section in my closet grew considerably last fall thanks to certain celebrity street-style stars. (I'm talking to you, Hailey Bieber and Zoë Kravitz.) I haven't given it nearly enough love this season, though, as warmer wool options took over. But seeing pictures of how Gigi Hadid winterized the trend in New York City has me dreaming up ways to bring those jackets back out.

The model returned to New York City's style scene with "the coat is the outfit" theory on full display on February 9. Her brown, cool-toned suede trench with oversize epaulettes and cuffs aligned with the military jacket trend was the main attraction. Between its double-breasted buttons, cinched belt, and the velvety-smooth material, the jacket offered enough visual interest (and then some).

My main quarrel with suede trenches in winter is how they can complicate layering. (A fashion girl can only fit so many rollneck sweaters underneath them.) Hadid counteracted my struggle by winterizing her coat using a different method: the triangle scarf trend. The model's sold-out, bandana-printed style—from her knitwear brand, Guest in Residence—was more oversized than most, so she tied it around her neck.

The rest of Hadid's outfit (at least, what was visible) was made up of pieces that also featured greatly in my fall outfit rotation, beginning with the straight-leg jeans. Last September, fashion features editor Emma Childs flagged the "classic autumn feel" of slim denim on Prada, Khaite, and Isabel Marant's Fall 2025 runways. Similar silhouettes appeared at the Loewe, Balenciaga, and Dior Spring 2026 shows.

Hadid is the latest It girl to sport an anti-skinny pair of jeans. She first tested the style on a mid-January date with Bradley Cooper, alongside Miu Miu loafers and a Guest in Residence cardigan. This time, though, she picked a different pair of structured Freda Salvador leather loafers, paired with brown-and-white socks.

Much like the straight-leg jeans of yester-season, suede coats are primed for a Spring 2026 comeback. Altuzarra, LaQuan Smith, Miu Miu, and more gave them a starring role in recent runways. What I'm hearing is that now's the time to dust off the suede trenches in the back of my closet. Don't mind if Hadid and I do.

After styling the Salomon sneakers trend the Jennifer Lawrence way, Bella Hadid took her favorite footwear to Disney World. The Ôrebella founder traveled to Florida with sister Gigi Hadid, and the pair appeared to have a seriously fun trip in the sprawling theme park.

For her visit to Disney World, Bella wore her $200 sold-out Salomon x Carhartt W.I.P X-Alp Sneakers. She styled the chunky sneakers with The Row's Burty Low-Rise Straight-Leg Jeans in White Cotton, which retail for $1,050.

In photos shared to her own Instagram account, as well as sister Gigi's profile, Bella could be seen wearing the white jeans with a sold-out Disney Parks Pluto 95th Anniversary Short-Sleeved Button-Up Shirt, and a Mayfair x Orebella Aura Donor Trucker Hat.

The model completed her outfit with a vintage Chanel 2011 Quilted Caviar Expandable Zip-Around Tote Bag in Red Leather, and a pair of Mickey Mouse ears.

Bella captioned her photo dump, "Re-experiencing Disney as an adult, with your DISNEY-coded big sister, and your perfect baby (also Disney obsessed) niece...is a whole nother level of emotion!!!! (I cried more than the kids—please invite me back next year @gigihadid xoxo sorry)."

Basically, if you're planning a trip to Disney World, "dadcore" sneakers and vintage bags are the way to go.

On January 11, Hollywood's elite surrendered their cozy Sunday evening rituals in favor of the 2026 Golden Globes—except for Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper. Instead, the couple headed nine miles west of the Beverly Hilton Hotel, to Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, trading in red carpet finery in favor of chill date night outfits.

Scoring a reservation at the celebrity hotspot is no easy feat, unless you strategically plan it during awards season, like Hadid and Cooper did. The model went with a fuzzy cardigan from her knitwear brand, Guest In Residence, to stay warm in the 60°F L.A. weather. The $995 Le Jacket is made out of brushed cashmere, and features oversized shawl-like lapels, dolman sleeves, and four statement buttons.

Giorgio Baldi regular Rihanna declared the Italian restaurant a jeans-friendly zone as early as 2011, so Hadid followed suit in a wide-leg, light-wash pair. They stretched so far, you could barely see her brown suede boots.

It wouldn't be a proper off-duty Hadid outfit without a four-figure Miu Miu bag. This time, she chose the $4,900 Leather Patchwork Beau, crafted from leather patches in different shades of brown. The top-handle, zip-top style debuted on the brand's Spring 2024 collection, and Hadid's had it in her closet since at least Dec. 2024.

If you thought Hadid's look was laid-back, just wait until you spot Cooper's: The actor and director wore a Philadelphia Eagles T-shirt, worn-in jeans, and lace-up black boots—quite the contrast with his last Golden Globes look from 2024, when he posed for photographers in a custom Louis Vuitton tuxedo.

Hadid and Cooper have yet to walk a red carpet together. But this isn't their first awards season date night at the restaurant: After the 2024 Golden Globes, they traded after parties for an almost-private date night—Cooper's mom tagged along—at Giorgio Baldi. Hadid's outfit then was slightly more elevated, thanks to a corset top, a double-breasted coat, and Toteme knee-high boots, plus Miu Miu's Arcadie Bag.

Sure, Hadid and Cooper RSVP'd "no" to the 2026 Golden Globes, but that didn't stop them from maintaining their Giorgio Baldi tradition. Clearly the restaurant brings out the best in its fashion girl guests, Rihanna and Hadid included.

As someone who has been blonde for pretty much my entire adult life (minus a six month stint as a strawberry blonde in 2022) I know what it feels like to crave a drastic hair color change. Apparently supermodel, Guest in Residence founder, and well-known fellow blondie Gigi Hadid feels the same because she just debuted the type of dramatic hair color (and cut!) change that made the Marie Claire Slack channel dissolve into a frenzy of ecstatic messages. Beauty editors, rise.

On January 8, Hadid's longtime stylist Dimitris Giannetos posted a photo of her to his Instagram, with the caption, "'Matte black Mini Bob' New color | cut for my beautiful @gigihadid for @maybelline. Makeup @georgisandev Hair color/cut/style by @dimitrishair x @opusbeauty @steevefoussard."

In the carousel of images the supermodel is seen posing with her newly shorn, jet black hair styled in a wet look and deep side part, the ends barely grazing her sharp jawline. Given that this is for her partnership with Maybelline, her makeup (by Georgi Sandev) was understandably glam, with a dark smokey eye, rose-colored lipstick, subtle highlighter, fluffy brows, and cheekbones for days. She wore a sheer, long-sleeve top with a bustier detail over the middle, with a silver collar necklace as the perfect accent detail. Still, it's safe to say that her hair took center stage, followed closely by her bright blue eyes that stood out even more than usual against her new black-brunette color.

The comment section appeared to be just as enthusiastic about Hadid's latest hair transformation as my Slack convo, with fans and friends such as model Martha Hunt and makeup artist Ash K Holm all dropping a bevy of praise and flame emojis. Of course, it's not totally out of the ordinary for a world famous model to pull a complete 180 with her hair color. Last year Cara Delevingne debuted her own dramatic dark hair transformation on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival, and Karlie Kloss has been steadily committed to her own chocolate brown color after a decade of sunny highlights. And, as we all saw, 2025 was decidedly the year of the cunty little bob—no one, not even a celebrity whose hair signature has long been flowing, rib-grazing locks for years, is immune to the siren call of a short crop.

Mini bob aside, is this a sign that 2026 is going to be the year of moody, goth-inspired hair color? Well if the winter's hottest hair color trends have anything to say about it, it seems that the darkness of the season is going to look more chic than ever before. So make that colorist appointment and get ready to become the next Hadid sister.

More than six months after the revelation that Aydan Nix is the half-sister of Gigi and Bella Hadid went public, the 23-year-old is sharing her side of the incredible story.

In a personal essay for The Cut, Nix, who is the child of Mohamed Hadid and Terri Hatfield Dull, connected with the Hadids in 2023, after she learned that she was related to the models from the results of a DNA test, says that her newfound famous family members have been nothing but welcoming.

"My sisters (along with the rest of the family) have been nothing but warm and generous. They have made space for me in ways they didn’t have to. They’ve been kind," she wrote in the personal essay, also revealing that Bella calls her "twin," and her half-brother Anwar referred to her as his "baby sister" during their first chat on the phone.

Nix explained that, in addition to making space for her in their private world as a family, her half-siblings have made space for her in their social and professional spheres, as well.

Since, like her famous half-siblings, Nix already worked in the fashion industry, the connections she's made since beginning to integrate into the Hadid family have led to new professional opportunities, too.

"I got to close the Desigual fashion show in Barcelona," the freelance wardrobe stylist and Parsons School of Design graduate wrote. "Gigi introduced me to her friend, Gabriella Karefa Johnson, whom I had admired not only for her styling but for her strong convictions and values. I started assisting her when times were especially busy."

Nix said all of her newfound half-siblings—including not just Gigi, Bella, and Anwar, but also Marielle Hadid and Alana Hadid, who are Mohamed's older daughters with his first wife, Mary Butler—have gone out of their way to make her feel welcome and like part of their family, but admits that she still felt out of place as she adjusted to her new reality and learn about "the childhood I would never have with five siblings I didn’t grow up with."

"No sleepovers, no shared holidays, no borrowing clothes, no inside jokes, no stories woven together," Nix wrote of the difficult side of learning that the Hadids were her half-siblings. "They had a lifetime of memories, and I felt like the odd one out."

"I was trying to find my place in a family I never knew I had; sifting through Bella’s closet and gossiping or laughing at Marielle’s jokes at dinner, but I felt a pressure from myself to somehow make up for lost time," she explained in her essay for The Cut.

In addition to helping Nix learn about their family, her half-siblings have also stepped up to help her in learning about her roots and the ancestry she had never realized she had.

"Alana sent me resources and inspired me to become active in the fight for Palestine’s freedom," she wrote. "I watched Anwar’s film Walled Off. Gigi took me for my first Palestinian meal and taught me the names of different dishes."

The DNA test results upended Nix's life in more was than one, forcing her to confront truths she hadn't known about the family she was raised with in Florida.

"At the same time, I was processing the fact that the older sister I had known my whole life didn’t share my DNA at all," Nix explained of the other ways the the genetic test changed her life."It didn’t change who she was to me, but it forced me to reorient what family meant."

In many ways, however, Nix says her life has stayed the same since learning about her connection to the Hadid family.

"I live in a tiny one-bedroom apartment in the East Village and mooch off of my mom," she explained. "I take the subway or bus to work. When the Met Gala comes, I will be working nonstop carrying 70-pound trunks up and down stairs or through the freight entrance at the Carlyle."

Going forward, Nix says she's focused on continuing to do her best like she was before—she'll just be doing it with more people watching.

"Today, I am doing my best to live my life for me and to remember that, despite a couple of extra eyes on me, my life is still my own."

The weekend before Christmas was a romantic one among celebrity couples, from Dua Lipa and Callum Turner, to Zoë Kravitz and Harry Styles, and Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper. Fiancés Lipa and Turner spent it on a beach, while the latter pairs bundled up in coordinating-but-not-identical winter coats.

On December 20, Hadid and Cooper arrived hand-in-hand on Broadway to see Keanu Reeves in Waiting for Godot. Like Styles and Kravitz before them, the couple synched up their coat palette before arrival.

Cooper kept things simple in a black overcoat and khakis. Hadid, meanwhile, sourced her knitwear label, Guest In Residence, for the Grizzly Double-Breasted Coat. You may recognize its herringbone lapels, texturized cashmere, and darker trim from a recent outing, when she styled it with shearling slippers and a canvas tote. This time, the best-seller's popped collar hid the top underneath. Its calf-grazing hem, however, revealed leather wide-leg trousers and pointy black ankle boots. She wore similar pants to dinner with Taylor Swift on Nov. 3, except alongside a shearling coat and Miu Miu kitten heels.

2025 marks Hadid and Cooper's third December together, making them pro New Yorkers on the winter-wear front. This time last year, they coordinated more intentionally in rugby shirts, both of which boasted Guest In Residence tags. Cooper led the way in a yellow, brown, and white long-sleeve, layered beneath a black blazer. Navy blue pants and Timberland boots toned down the piece's preppiness.

Hadid, on the other hand, stacked a cable-knit cashmere vest over her red, brown, and white rugby, creating the most collegiate of combinations. Christian Louboutin penny loafers were the perfect partner, mainly for their white-and-red uppers. Pearl Miu Miu earrings, a Loro Piana clutch, and a faux fur mini skirt finished the set in true fashion-girl form.

Pre-Christmas paparazzi pics also tease who's spending the holiday together. It seems Kravitz and Styles are staying put in Rome, Lipa and Turner by the ocean, and Hadid and Cooper in NYC. The coat-centric closets feel the most practical of the three couples. Fingers crossed they offer up some holiday party outfit inspiration while they're at it.

Hi and welcome to The A-List Edit! I’m Halie LeSavage, Marie Claire’s senior fashion news editor. A big part of my job at MC HQ revolves around celebrity style: tracking down exactly what the likes of the Hadids, KarJenners, and Danielle Goldberg girls wear on a daily basis and figuring out how to rework it for a less…red carpet context. Every other week, I’ll drop by your inbox (and later, MarieClaire.com) with the latest on what they’re wearing—and ways I’ve styled similarly A-list-approved pieces beyond the Sushi Park balcony.

I want to get started with sweaters, the category at the front of all the aforementioned ladies’ closets right now. With step-and-repeat season almost wrapped for the year, celebs are changing into their comfy-cozies and offering some casual styling advice along the way. So ahead, I’m breaking down the three best celebrity sweaters of the season: two silhouettes and one It-knit worth trying now. If your sweater collection is already sorted, they’re a great last-minute gift for the stylish pop culture-obsessive in your life, too.

The Rugby Sweater

ICYMI, striped rugby sweaters are having a bit of a moment this winter, both in runway collections (Prada, Celine, et cetera) and in celebrity street style. Kaia Gerber wears hers draped across the shoulders of a plain crewneck; Hailey Bieber and Rihanna prefer cropped versions over low-rise cargos or jeans.

My favorite take has to be Gigi Hadid’s doubling-up of a warm-toned striped rugby with a contrasting striped sweater around her waist. (Can you tell she runs her own knitwear brand?) It’s preppy without going full-on Connecticut country club; a little nostalgic and infinitely easy to wear.

How I Style It

My own rugby sweater styling falls into the same “preppy with a twist” camp. I didn’t already own two complementary striped sweaters in Gigi’s vein—but I did get my paws on one of the best-selling rugby sweaters from her criminally underrated line, Guest in Residence. When I want to go a little dressier than throwing it on over jeans, I’ll layer it with a GWS (Great White Skirt) and a suede boot. I know, I know, it’s December: so I’ve got Heat Tech tights underneath.

Here, I’ve tracked down a few more sweaters I love in various stripes, fits, and price points. Note: a cotton rugby shirt is not the same as a rugby sweater! These all have a more hearty knit to stand up to winter temperatures.

The Crewneck Sweater

Crewnecks are the greatest common denominator of celebrity-approved sweaters and closets worldwide. But I’m not bringing them up because of how good they look with a white T-shirt peeking out from underneath—you know this without an A-lister’s help. I’d instead like to point out how celebs tend to pick out a crewneck when they want to dress down more elevated pieces like a holiday pump and a skirt, or feather-trimmed pants.

See: This Jennifer Lawrence sighting from a few weeks ago, when she doubled up on The Row sweaters (one for her shoulders, one to actually wear) over a black slip skirt. Aspirational!

How I Style It

I liked the principle of teaming a slouchy crewneck sweater with a dainty slip skirt, but I wanted a bit more texture in the mix. I tapped another Lawrence-favorite knitwear brand, La Ligne, for the Val sweater, to stack over a J.Crew lace-lined slip and an oversized bomber jacket. With knee-high boots, it fit the dress code for my recent visit to the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix paddock. Back home and out to dinner with my husband, I swapped in some slingback heels.

These cozy crewnecks have the same styling-up potential—and yes, they’re great with a tee and jeans, too. (Pro tip: Turn your T-shirt backward for the optimal pop of white underneath the neckline.)

The It-Girl V-Neck Sweater

“It” is not a fashion term I use lightly…but Reformation’s Jadey cashmere V-neck has a celebrity résumé unlike any other. Taylor Swift has worn it at least twice, in two different colors; so has Jessica Alba. When Selena Gomez picks up her frequent flier miles out of LAX, it’s often in her dove grey rendition of the same oversize top.

This is a knit A-listers pick up for the vibes—like an afternoon cuddling up with The Holiday and a Christmas cookie sampler, in sweater form. (The cashmere really is that soft.) Naturally, it’s most often seen in the wild with upmarket sweatpants or leggings and shearling-lined slipper-shoes.

How I Style It

I’m also guilty of ordering this in multiple colors over the years. (With help from my trusty, under-$10 fabric shaver, my first one from four years ago still looks brand-new.) I spend most work-from-home days wearing mine with Leset lounge pants or plain-old Aerie pajama bottoms. Heading into the office, I swap in barrel-leg jeans, coordinating flats, and a sprinkling of my favorite jewelry. I think the other Ref girlies would approve.

An oversize V-neck silhouette isn’t exclusive to just one label, of course. Here are a few alternatives with the same lived-in feel.

Adding a white bag to your collection might seem like a pre-summer activity—unless you're Gigi Hadid. On November 18, the supermodel debuted her third Miu Miu Ivy bag in an unseasonal ivory canvas. Once her cozy slippers joined the mix, the summery tote felt surprisingly November-ready.

New York City was a frigid 45° on Tuesday morning, but that didn't stop Hadid from reaching her step count. She bundled up in a boho-chic brown palette, beginning with a herringbone double-breasted coat, courtesy of her knitwear label, Guest In Residence. Buttoning it up hid most of the street style selects beneath, except for wide-leg tan sweatpants. Hadid traded an oversize cashmere scarf (a staple among A-list New Yorkers) for a bandana-style scarf. Perhaps she stole it from her younger sister, Bella Hadid's closet, in all its horse girl glory.

Miu Miu's iconic emblem—embroidered in brown leather—was impossible to miss underneath Hadid's shoulder. She chose the regular-sized canvas colorway trimmed in brown leather to match the brand's logo.

Hadid's Miu Miu Ivory canvas tote was nowhere near full. The elongated north-west silhouette presumably held her phone, wallet, and not much more. Typically, Hadid uses her Miu Miu Ivory (in navy or brown) as airport-proof carry-ons—their plunging main compartments overflowing with travel essentials. This time, she broke in the $1,850 best-seller slowly but surely. Maybe she's prepping the new addition for a trip this holiday season.

If NYC was 20° warmer, Hadid would've (presumably) coupled her Miu Miu bag with sneakers. (In September, she wore a sneaker-mule hybrid from Larroudé with the Miu Miu Aventure bag.) Instead, Hadid elevated a pair of shearling-lined boots. They weren't your average house slippers—multicolor beads decorated Hadid's Ugg lookalikes.

Turns out, they're a rare find from family-run brand Alameda Turquesa, based in Portugal. Each charm-embellished slipper is made by hand—Hadid's included. According to Alameda Turquesa, similar peep-toe styles appeared in Season Four of Emily In Paris. Now, Hadid is giving the underrated designer the street style time they deserve.

Hadid is embracing shearling season to the fullest, debuting new renditions with each street style stroll. In late October, she joined boyfriend Bradley Cooper in Manhattan, wearing a $695 aprés-ski essential from Simon Miller. In lieu of a Miu Miu bag, she carried a rare Loro Piana clutch atop its faux fur.

Days later, she reunited with Taylor Swift in a black pony-hair coat—its shearling exterior soft as snow. Clearly, Hadid is set for the forthcoming season. Shop similar styles below to ensure you are, too.

After collaborating for The Life of a Showgirl's title track, Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter have taken their friendship to the next level. On Friday, November 7, the two singers were photographed wearing luxurious labels for a night out, while confirming it's the season for sheer tights.

A day after the "CANCELLED!" singer debuted a true billionaire outfit, Swift and Carpenter were pictured arriving for dinner at The Corner Restaurant in New York City, and both performers brought their A-game when it came to style.

The "Manchild" singer styled a pair of black shorts with a Guest in Residence Cropped Cable Turtleneck Sweater in Cream, which features a ribbed collar and a fringed hemline and retails for $545. Carpenter wore a tan duster coat and sheer black tights with the outfit. For accessories, she opted for a Chanel 2024 Small Wavy CC Hobo—which is currently available to shop via resale sites—and a pair of Pedro Garcia Satin Crystal Embellishments Sandals.

Meanwhile, Swift paired a $1,100 Thom Browne Rwb Stripe-Detail Polo Shirt with the label's Gunclub Check Cheviot Tweed Pleated Mini Skirt, which retails for $1,990. The "Opalite" singer completed the outfit with sheer tights, a brown The Row Half Moon Leather Shoulder Bag, and a pair of $1,560 Gucci Horsebit Loafer Platform Slingback Pumps—a style of shoe Swift is regularly spotted wearing.

Both Swift and Carpenter are at the top of their game, so it's entirely unsurprising they styled seriously chic outfits packed with loud luxury details for a much-deserved night out together.

Dior D-Journey this, Chloé Paddington that. Where's all the love for the Miu Miu Aventure Tote? Since the underrated it bag debuted on the Fall 2024 runway, it's joined the closets of Hailey Bieber, Gigi Hadid, Olivia Rodrigo, and more. However, the style is still largely slept on by the masses—and Sydney Sweeney is set on changing that.

The actor is currently giving it a spotlight on the world's biggest sartorial stage: her Christy press tour. She styled the $3,900 top-handle bag two different ways in one day. Sweeney started her day by making a pitstop on Good Morning America. Stylist Molly Dickson paired the handbag with Look 4 from Sportmax's Spring 2026 collection. The ensemble included a cropped leather trench coat, which Sweeney wore as a dress.

She accessorized with knee-high boots and Miu Miu's Aventure bag, which embodied the belted bag trend. Though its exterior was about five shades darker, the look still retained a monochromatic feel. Sweeney chose the smallest of the Aventure's three sizes.

A few hours later, Sweeney returned to the street style scene, the same Miu Miu Aventure in tow. She traded in her Sportmax jacket for winter staples befitting of a rom-com character.

Sweeney began the her outfit with a short-sleeve shearling-lined coat. Its cropped sleeves and hem revealed a white long-sleeve tee underneath. She leaned into its innate nostalgic vibes with a pair of flared jeans. The Aventure gave her Y2K pulls a proper fashion girl finish.

A Miu Miu girl for life.

Taylor Swift and Gigi Hadid celebrated 10 years of friendship the only way they know how: dressed in designer at one of New York City's finest five-star restaurants.

On Nov. 3—a decade (and some change) after their first solo outing—the longtime friends scored reservations at Zero Bond. The evening was a reunion of sorts, as Swift and Hadid haven't been publicly spotted together since Dec. 2024.

After dinner, Swift offered photographers a close-up of her girls' night 'fit, beginning with a relic of fashion seasons past. The star sported an oversize pea coat from Auter, effectively reviving the Millennial-favorite fall trend. She layered the $1,450 outerwear staple over a chunky black sweater and a pleated mini skirt. Its plaid print just barely peeked out from beneath her coat's thigh-grazing hem.

From there, Swift's accessories brought the set squarely into Reputation territory. Snakeskin knee-high boots from Stella McCartney—which featured high-fashion squared toes—could've been plucked straight from the 2017 album's archives. Marrying it with the square-toed silhouette grounded the animal print in today's trends.

Even Swift's handbag got the snakeskin treatment. Also a second Stella McCartney pick, the crossbody top-flap bag matched her knee-highs to a T. The $975 tote was crafted from vegan snakeskin, just like her high-fashion footwear. (Animal welfare is important to the British designer, who calls her label "a vegetarian company.")

Hadid followed close behind Swift, in a polka-dot graphic tee, layered beneath a pony-hair coat. Leather cargo pants matched her pointy black pumps. It seems the Guest In Residence founder chose kitten heeled ankle boots, adorned with silver buckles to juxtapose her yellow gold earrings. Their leather finish reflected a slight patent sheen—an unexpected select for the laid-back star.

Though suede season is just beginning for most, Gigi Hadid has been dedicating herself to the look for months. She got a head start all the way back in August, when she was photographed with a textured Liffner tote on her shoulder. Naturally, now that fall has officially begun, the star is going all-in on the luxe texture.

On Nov. 2, the supermodel debuted her first suede jacket of the season, signaling to fans across the nation that now's the time to follow suit. Though Hadid lives in rural Pennsylvania, where suede coats are considered a staple, she spent last weekend in California, celebrating her dad's birthday.

The supermodel joined her family at Giorgio Baldi, Rihanna's favorite Santa Monica hotspot in a surprisingly casual fall look. Hadid tucked a nostalgic Henley tee into a pair of wide-leg jeans.

L.A.'s forecast didn't call for any outerwear, but Hadid layered on a plain zip-up jacket regardless. It was nondescript in nature—save for the number's dark navy suede outer. The jacket came slightly oversize, as most of Hadid's coats are. It's a fall-friendly find for both the East and West Coast.

Hadid's accessories, on the other hand, were a New Yorker requirement. She went with the $2,800 Extra Pocket Mini Pouch by Loro Piana: an itty-bitty top-handle vanity bag.

To fit Giorgio Baldi's "smart casual" dress code, the model slipped on her tried-and-true leather loafers from Miu Miu. The footwear added a distinctly polished feel to the overall look.

Fall is still has yet to reach its peak, but already, Hadid is dominating the outerwear scene.

While those of us in the Northeast wait around for après ski season to finally arrive, Gigi Hadid is spearheading a new aesthetic. I'm calling it avant-ski (or, "before ski"). Though snow has yet to fall in the streets of New York City, Hadid wasted no time debuting a pre-season 'fit that could easily be worn on the slopes.

Earlier this week, the supermodel was spotted walking hand-in-hand with her boyfriend of two years, Bradley Cooper. Sartorially speaking, the pair were manifesting the season's first snow. Though the weather was only a degree below 60, the star bundled up in a shearling-lined coat that fell all the way to her ankles.

The plush number is an oldie from Simon Miller—the $695 Jetz Coat. She styled it with brown sweatpants, which featured cyber sigilism detailing on the legs, and finished with a pair of camel-colored slippers. (The likely culprit? Her beloved Ugg Tasmans.) Cooper, meanwhile, looked equally Aspen-coded, in a red sweater, navy coat, and beanie.
