Gwyneth Paltrow Touts Blake Brown Haircare in Support of Blake Lively

Gwyneth Paltrow Touts Blake Lively Haircare Line
Gwyneth Paltrow and Blake Lively

Gwyneth Paltrow is coming to the support of Blake Lively and her haircare line, Blake Brown.

Following Lively’s sexual harassment allegations against her It Ends With Us costar and director Justin Baldoni, she received public support from figures including Paltrow, 52. Lively’s accusations against Baldoni include unwanted kissing during filming and a campaign to damage her reputation. Baldoni has vehemently denied these claims, calling them “completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious.”

Paltrow publicly showed her support for Lively, 37, on the day the complaint was released. In an Instagram Story, she featured Lively’s Blake Brown haircare line on her Christmas wish list, adding a queen emoji to her post.

According to the legal documents obtained by Us Weekly, the effects of Baldoni’s tear down campaign against Lively’s professional life were “immediate and substantial.” This includes Blake Brown, which launched around the same time as It Ends With Us’ theatrical release this summer.

How Blake Lively Referenced Her and Ryan Reynolds' Kids in Baldoni Lawsuit

As a result of negative chatter on social media, Lively claimed she felt she could not “proceed with public appearances or events without being forced to openly discuss what happened on set.”

One such incident allegedly included cancelling a “critical” Target corporate event for said haircare company, which she backed out of her scheduled appearance for.

The lawsuit also alleges that the retaliation campaign against Lively resulted in damage to her companies as well, like the launch of Blake Brown, which Lively had spent seven years building up to.

“The long-planned launch of her haircare line, Blake Brown — a date which was set more than a year prior to the date selected,” the documents read, “for the release of the film — was caught up in the crossfires of the negative environment against [Lively].”

Celebs Who Have Spoken Out About Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni Lawsuit

Prior to when the “social manipulation” campaign was underway, the Gossip Girl actress was informed that Blake Brown was Target’s largest haircare launch on record. And based on internal sales projects the “sudden and unexpected negative media campaign launched” negatively affected retail sales of products by a whopping “56%–78%.”

What’s more, the Instagram account for the brand was allegedly flooded by “harassing and derogatory comments, including many posted by user accounts that had no followers and no prior posts,” which suggested an inauthenticity, according to court papers.

7 Times Celebs Clapped Back At Aging Comments

Last week, Jennifer Lopez made headlines with her response to an interviewer who brought up her age.

“Listen, I can’t believe it’s been 30 years since Selena. I can’t believe that 30 years we do the retrospective of this and you will be 60 by then,” Variety’s Senior Awards Editor, Clayton Davis, said on Sunday, December 15, in a video obtained by TMZ.

Lopez, 55, interjected to add, “Wow,” as Davis continued to comment on her age, “which is getting up there” according to the reporter. Lopez nodded at the remark, replying, “I am.”
The comment elicited laughter — as well as some confusion — from the audience, with one person asking, “Did he really just say that?”

Davis continued the conversation by applauding Lopez for “one of your best performances” yet in Unstoppable, which was released in September.

“It’s funny you think that I’m getting up there,” Lopez began, while Davis spoke up to clarify that his comment was a “joke.” Lopez appeared unfazed by the remark, and instead chose to praise the audience.

“It’s because I want to say thank you, you guys. Because we’ve been doing this a long time together. Been doing it a long time and you guys have been here with me,” Lopez said. “Today, I was singing some new songs and I went back and sang ‘If You Had My Love,’ which is my first song, 1999. It’s that thing, of like, what a journey this has been.”

“I honestly feel that the best is yet to come,” she continued. “I honestly feel that my creativity and who I am as an artist — like you said, I also feel that this for me, was another kind of level for me of going deeper into who I am as a person, as an artist.”

And Lopez is far from the first woman in Hollywood to feel and prove that age is indeed just a number. For more moments where celebrities have rightfully clapped back at comments in response to comments about their age, keep scrolling:

At age 37, Gyllenhaal was told that she was “too old” to be cast as a 55 year-old man’s love interest for a project that she politely would not identify by name. “It made me feel bad and then it made me feel angry and then it made me laugh,” she later said to ABC in 2015.

At a 2015 appearance in New York City, Mirren was asked for her opinion about Gyllenhaal’s aforementioned revelation. She didn’t mince words: "It's f-ing outrageous; it's ridiculous,” Mirren said, which elicited applause from the approving audience.

Johnson clapped back at Hollywood for sidelining great talents, like her mother, Melanie Griffith, and grandmother Tippi Hedren, seemingly due to their mature age. She also called showbiz "f-ing brutal” and called out the “absurd” and “cutthroat” ways it treats its stars.
She went on to explain that even the toughest skin can't always protect an actor from the anxiety of never knowing when the calls will stop and the roles will dry out. “I've been so lucky to be surrounded by people who have encouraged me to go deeper into myself. I want to just be a good person and be as embracing of others as I can,” Dakota said while appearing on Ellen. She continued: “[My mom’s] always been really honest and firm about standing up for yourself."

When the Sex and the City spin off And Just Like That… was announced, some fans didn't get the memo that the show would take place 20 years after the original series aired. “It almost feels as if people don't want us to be perfectly OK with where we are," Sarah Jessica Parker said. “There's so much misogynist chatter in response to us that would never happen about a man.”

Speaking to Du Jour in 2021, the actress called out Hollywood for turning its back on women over 40. "You can play all different ages for quite a long time and I think that's why a lot of women don't want to reveal their age as an actress because suddenly you can be boxed in." She also shared that while no one had explicitly told her she's too old to play certain roles, she did notice a shift in her career upon turning 40, including more rejections.
At the 2018 SAG Awards, Kidman applauded women in Hollywood for their work and efforts made to show that they're still potent and powerful and viable. "We have proven that we can do this [and] we can continue to do this but only with support of this industry and that passion,” she said, and her comments were met with roaring applause from the audience.

While promoting her 2017 film John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, Berry admitted she was bewildered by the great interest in her age. "We're not defined by that number that gets tagged to us at birth,” she said. “That doesn't define us at all. We shouldn't let it define us.” She also added that this partly piqued her interest in the role of former assassin Sofia Al-Azawar. “It gave me a chance to show something different and to, sort of, kick ageism in the face,” Berry said.

“Why should I have to play a grandmother simply because I’m old? Can I be a lawyer? A scientist? So far, the answer is … not so much,” Moreno told Variety in 2021, three months before her 90th birthday. “Hollywood suffers in a profound way from ageism.” However, when the EGOT winner was approached to play Lydia, the abuelita in the One Day at a Time remake in 2017, she only agreed to take the role if her character was also a sexual being, explaining that just because she no longer has the ability to conceive doesn’t mean that she’s no longer a woman with feelings of desire. “I said, ‘I know she's an older woman, I know she's a grandma, but she has to be sexual,” Moreno recalled.

Very Demure: How 2024’s Viral TikTok Trend Defined Celebrity Style

The Most Demure Celebrity Style Moments of 2024 331

Brat summer may be dead but the very demure, very mindful aesthetic is alive and well.

The movement was underscored when Dictionary.com named “demure” the word of the year, announced on November 25, beating out candidates including “brat” and “brainrot.”

It captured the attention not only of content creators but also celebrities with Jennifer Lopez, Khloé Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan (to name a few) referencing the term online, as well as political figures like Kamala Harris championing “very demure” Chloé looks at the Democratic National Convention in November.

Designers clearly got the memo, as many labels from Chanel to Gucci to Thom Browne, sent out looks on the Spring 2025 runways that captured the internet’s obsession with the word demure.

The concept of demure is associated with other qualities, such as “respectful,” “mindful” and “cutesy.” Of course, the TikTok video that started the craze got more specific, with TikTok creator Jools Lebron offering unironic tips about managing makeup, mustache sweat and how to be demure at the workplace, accentuating the contrast between appearance and reality.

“You see how I do my makeup for work? Very demure. Very mindful,” she said in the clip. “I don’t come to work with a green cut crease. I don’t look like a clown when I go to work. I don’t do too much. I’m very mindful while I’m at work.”

It came as an antidote to the brat mindset, with its lime-green clothing and hard-partying attitude. It also served as a refreshing change of pace after years of the naked dress trend.

Just ask some of the most stylish celebrities of the season, who have collectively been embracing the viral TikTok trend in droves while showing no sign of slowing down.

So how do you dress in a demure way? From Kate Middleton to Kendall Jenner, allows these stars to show you how it’s done with 10 of the very best demure and mindful looks of 2024.

The supermodel stepped out in Paris wearing a modest little black dress by The Row, but it was her kitten mules that stole the show, in the most demure fashion of course.

More formal and perhaps less practical than other outerwear, the demure caplet still provides the perfect finishing touch to a tweed skirt, as seen on Swinton in Chanel Haute Couture.

Yes, even divas can be demure, as Lopez demonstrated in a teddy bear brown Gucci shorts-and–sweater set.

Outsize bows have replaced over-the-top cleavage on the red carpet — just ask Brunson who wore a Carolina Herrera dress with a frilly bow at the center.

The Goop founder proved that head-to-toe statement prints can feel soft and sophisticated in a Thom Browne skirt suit and collared shirt that blossomed with florals.

The Wicked actress nailed the “cutesy” vibe in a custom Thom Browne gingham frock, but it was her ladylike gloves that took the moment to refined new heights.

Protecting your complexion from the sun? Totally demure. Taylor Russell did just that when she paired an Alaïa crop top and bubble skirt with a red umbrella at the Venice Film Festival.

Edebiri’s Bottega Veneta Bermuda shorts, a style that hits lower on the leg and therefore shows less skin, was all the more demure when paired with a matching jacket to create a spring-weather suit.

If anyone understands the meaning of demure, it’s French girls. Emily in Paris actress Leroy-Beaulieu — a.k.a. Sylvie — proved this point in a shrunken brown Rochas suit with a metallic finish.

Catherine, the Princess of Wales, has long been the poster girl for ladylike fashion, as demonstrated by her well-known penchant for pussy-bow necklines, as seen on a Whistles polka-dot dress that peeked out from underneath a double-breasted Alexander McQueen coat.

Taylor Swift Made the Whole Place Shimmer in $36K Jewels at ‘Eras’ Bash

Taylor Swift wasn’t kidding when she said she could “make the whole place shimmer.”

The “Bejeweled” singer was recently the guest of honor at an Eras Tour-themed party (which her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, reportedly planned), where attendees wore Swiftie-inspired looks, as seen in photos that Ashley Avignone shared on Thursday, December 19, via Instagram.

Some fans have suggested that the beads spelled out “Kelce,” a sartorial easter egg that may hint at Swift’s rumored husband-to-be. One thing is for certain: The entire ensemble was a masterclass in dressing with intention, thanks to subtle details that pointed to multiple past eras.

Brittany and Patrick Mahomes Dress Up as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce

The halter-style straps and the bustier sweetheart neckline can be found in Swift’s Tortured Poets Society costume designs. The fit-and-flare A-line skirt was woven with 1989 and Speak Now undertones, while the black color palette recalled her edgy Reputation aesthetic. Meanwhile, Lover came through in the sparkle and shine, an era that was covered in sequins.

Swift’s earrings were from De Beers’ Arpeggia collection — a tribute to Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” — which as Taylor Swift purists can tell you, is said to be the inspiration for her 2023 album, Midnights. The falling of the diamonds is meant to mimic the notes on a musical score.

Making her jewelry feel even more significant is the fact that she wore the same pair to the 2024 Golden Globes where her concert film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, lost out to Barbie. After all, you best believe she doesn’t need (another) golden statuette to make a winning style statement.

 

She tied it all together with — what else? — black velvet heels by Christian Louboutin, the designer who created all of her Eras Tour shoes. Here’s hoping they were customized with the same slip-proof soles as her stage footwear, because Swift and Kelce danced the night away.

Sydney Sweeney Poses Topless on Rooftop After Facing Body-Shamming Remarks

Sydney Sweeney is continuing to clap back at internet trolls in the best way possible.

Sweeney, 27, posed topless on a rooftop in New York City on Wednesday, December 18, as seen in a series of photos that she posted via Instagram.

The move comes mere days after the Euphoria actor faced unfair body backlash on social media with users making comments about her appearance in recent paparazzi photos taken, without her knowledge, while sunbathing in the Florida Keys.

Sweeney was photographed looking lovely in a lilac bikini, which incited the flurry of unnecessary critical feedback from trolls, but she didn’t take the digs lying down and instead swiftly shot back by posting them to her own Instagram.

Sydney Sweeney Claps Back at Body-Shaming Critics: 'Christy Martin Strong'

She shared a video with a montage of comments on Friday, December 13, that culminated in video footage of herself training for her new movie, an untitled biopic about female boxer Christy Martin.

It seems Sweeney is continuing to get the ultimate revenge with her latest snap while looking better, and more stylish, than ever. She captioned the post “rain, rain go away” but her fashion game was a slay, donning a cozy striped grandpa cardigan, which she left open to reveal her toned midriff and world-famous curves, slouchy boyfriend jeans and all-white sneakers.

In one snap, she clutched a Miu Miu Aventure brown suede bag that was festooned with charms, adding a touch of personality to the luxe accessory. The style, recovered from the Miu Miu archives, is a reinterpreted lightweight design with plenty of effortlessly cool attitude.

Meanwhile, Sweeney has been stepping out with her fiancé Jonathan Davino looking happier than ever and perfectly in sync from a couple’s style perspective, like on Sunday, December 15, when they headed out to dinner in his-and-hers chocolate brown leather looks.

Clearly, she’s living her best life and dressing the part.

Kim Kardashian Sets a New ‘Trend’ With High Heel-Shaped Cast

Feature Kim Kardashian Sets a New Trend With High Heel Shaped Cast 02

Kim Kardashian is keeping up with her shoe game — despite having a broken foot.

The Skims founder took to her Instagram Story on Tuesday, December 17, to share a photo of a high heel-shaped cast, replete with a perfectly polished bright red pedicure, but of course.

Many called the move “innovative” and gave her props for being committed to the serve.

“When you break your [foot] but still wanna go out,” one user quipped. Others predicted that the cast would become a new trend. “Always ahead of your time in the fashion world,” wrote a fan, while another added: “This will be the new trend.”

Kim Kardashian Poses With a Knee Scooter After Breaking Her Foot

Some even wondered whether that the cast was a new design from Kardashian’s collaboration with Balenciaga or perhaps a potential hint at her next Skims collection.

Kardashian, 44, first shared the news of her broken foot on Friday, December 6, when she posted an image of her foot in a boot cast and crutches while Fergie’s song “Clumsy” played in the background.

“FML,” she wrote alongside the Instagram photo with a swearing emoji. “Broken foot for the holidays.”

Less than a week later, Kardashian hopped on a plane from Los Angeles to New York City to attend the star-studded opening of her Skims flagship store on Fifth Avenue.

Celebrities Who Are Obsessed With Kim Kardashian's Skims Shapewear

She pulled up at the Skims store in Midtown, New York City, on Thursday, December 12, in an all-cream custom Chrome Hearts ensemble with a plunging neckline and skintight trousers. Despite her ailment, she wore translucent heels (on both feet) and wheeled in on a black knee scooter. A matching mini-bag hung from the handlebars.

Fans praised her for powering through her injury, in heels no less. After all, no one knows better than Kardashian that sometimes you have to get off your ass and work — or scoot.

Elle Fanning Just Took a Page from Hailey Bieber’s Fashion Playbook

Elle Fanning Channels Hailey Bieber in Saint Laurent Suit

Elle Fanning is suiting up like Hailey Bieber.

When the actress attended a photocall for A Complete Unknown, in London on Monday, December 16, she hit an androgynous note in the same Saint Laurent suit that Bieber, 28, memorably wore in October during a date-night-slash-work-party with her husband, Justin Bieber.

Fanning, for her part, stars alongside Timothée Chalamet in the new James Mangold-directed film about Bob Dylan. She plays Sylvie Russo, Dylan’s (Chalamet) one-time girlfriend, who is loosely based on Dylan’s real-life ex-girlfriend, the late Suze Rotolo.

When Rotolo wasn’t working as a jewelry maker and artist, she was the muse behind many of the musician’s greatest songs, including “Boots of Spanish Leather.” She also famously graced the cover of his groundbreaking second album, The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan.

Hailey Bieber’s Latest Look Mixes Business With Pleasure

Fanning made a similarly striking statement when photographed, not on Jones Street in Manhattan’s West Village, like Russo did for Dylan’s album cover art, but rather on the red carpet at The Curzon Mayfair, the iconic arthouse cinema located in London’s West End.

Her natty brown suit was a slight departure from the style originally seen on the Bieber, who wore a near-identical version in light gray. They both layered their oversize tailoring with a classic menswear-inspired oxford shirt and a patterned tie that was cut wide for a retro slant.

While Bieber’s trousers ran intentionally long for maximum swagger, Fanning kept the proportions in check by cinching hers with a black crocodile leather belt. They each grounded the wide-leg silhouette with knife-sharp pointed-toe pumps that peeked out ever so slightly.

Fanning added a decidedly gamine touch to her look with a single bobby pin in her hair to keep her retro big-barrel blonde curls in place. The move felt fitting for the leading lady, as did Bieber’s distinctive approach, which saw her with one of her signature oversize Emi Jay hair clips.

Chalamet, 28, has also been serving up head-turning beauty statements while promoting the film, most notably when he traded his trademark brown ringlets for a flat-ironed sandy blonde wig and a Old Navy beanie. The transformation, albeit temporary, was a pitch-perfect tribute to Dylan, now 83, who rocked the same look at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival, right down to the knit hat.

As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Lady Gaga Flashes Her $500K Engagement Ring in ‘Carpool Karaoke’

Lady Gaga Engagement Ring on Carpool Karaoke

Lady Gaga’s engagement ring could stop traffic.

The Grammy winner, 38, gave Us a good look at her honking piece of jewelry while appearing in a trailer for the Apple TV+ and Apple Music’s Christmas special of A Carpool Karaoke Christmas, released on Sunday, December 15. In fact, we almost forgot just how spectacular her sparkler really is.

For others who may need a reminder, look no further than the new episode, as Gaga, who is engaged to tech investor Michael Polansky, can be seen driving around with host Zane Lowe while giving the camera a closeup of the large oval diamond solitaire ring on a pavé band.

 

 

Gaga and Polansky, 46, first sparked engagement rumors last April after she was spotted wearing said diamond while out in West Hollywood. She also wore a long black coat, but the sleeves failed to hide her bling, which isn’t hard to imagine considering the gargantuan size. The 8-carat ring has an estimated worth of $500,000 or more.

Gaga confirmed her engagement in July at the Paris Olympics when she introduced Polansky as “my fiancé” to French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal.

Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky's Relationship Timeline

Fast-forward to September, the singer sent cameras flashing when she was joined by her fiancé at the Venice Film Festival. The couple arrived by water taxi with Gaga flashing a beaming smile as well as her giant bling for all to see.

During the film festival, they attended the premiere of Gaga’s film Joker: Folie à Deux and all but shut down the red carpet, thanks in no small part to the near-blinding bijoux on her left hand, which Polansky lovingly held as they posed for photographers.

The singer shed light on how Polansky asked her to marry him while appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in October. After an afternoon spent rock climbing, he popped the question. “He wanted to know if it was OK to propose before he proposed and I was like, ‘Yes! It’s so OK!’” Gaga said. “It was very Michael to ask me if he could ask me,” she added.

She also offered insights into their dream wedding. “We actually talk about going to the courthouse just the two of us and ordering Chinese food,” Gaga said. “[But] knowing me, also, it could become like a circus with unicorns.”

After all, a ring like that deserves a parade.

Justin Timberlake's Concert Wardrobe Malfunction Is Going Viral

Justin Timberlake Wardrobe Malfunction
Justin Timberlake just gave new meaning to his 2006 song, “What Goes Around…Comes Around.”

The Grammy-winning singer, who’s currently on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour, was performing at Bridgestone Arena on Thursday, December 12, in Nashville, Tennessee, when he suffered a wardrobe malfunction involving a tightly fitted harness that’s going viral.

A TikTok video filmed by a concert-goer showed Timberlake, 43, trying to adjust himself in the harness, which caused a stir among fans as it unintentionally highlighted his groin.

In the clip, Timberlake could be seen tugging at the bottom of his shirt in an attempt to cover the area. The harness is used for his performance of “Mirrors,” during which he serenades the crowd from a suspended platform.

'NSync's Reunions Through the Years

The comments section of the video included several quips comparing Timberlake’s faux pas to a similar mishap that Chris Brown experienced during his 1:11 Tour in Canada this past summer. At the time, The Daily Mail reported on an accident that highlighted Brown’s “manhood” while The Hollywood Reporter shared a video of the singer stuck in the air mid-concert.

Of course, it also called to mind the infamous 2004 incident when Timberlake had a hand in Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction after he tore off part of her clothing covering her breast at the end of the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show.

Timberlake initially said, “Hey man, we love giving you all something to talk about.” However, his tone shifted as the situation became more fraught, prompting both him as well as MTV to release statements acknowledging the incident.

In his statement, Timberlake said: “I am sorry if anyone was offended by the wardrobe malfunction during the halftime performance at the Super Bowl. It was not intentional and is regrettable.”

Meanwhile, MTV said, “The tearing of Janet Jackson’s costume was unrehearsed, unplanned, completely unintentional and was inconsistent with assurances we had about the content of the performance. MTV regrets this incident occurred and we apologize to anyone who was offended by it.”

The next week, Timberlake apologized at the Grammy Awards ceremony, saying Jackson’s nipple was accidentally exposed and was meant to be covered by a bright red brassiere.

Sydney Sweeney and Jonathan Davino Do Date Night in His-and-Hers Leather

If their outfits are anything to judge by, Sydney Sweeney and Jonathan Davino are perfectly in sync.

The couple, who have been engaged since 2022, stepped out for dinner at Crane Club, a steakhouse in New York City, on Sunday, December 15, in his-and-hers leather looks that were right in line with this season’s love affair with chocolate brown as well as the similarly delicious 2025 Pantone color of the year: “mocha mousse.

Sweeney, 27, wore wide-leg leather pants that were perfectly matched to her fiancé’s leather blazer. She fended off the frigid temps in a wool jacquard sweater from Gucci, which featured a fair-isle motif dotted with sparkling crystal embellishments.

The Euphoria actor grounded the look with Amina Muaddi heeled ankle boots in bright white. Angular tortoise shell Gucci sunglasses shielded her from paparazzi outside the restaurant.

Her film producer beau looked chivalrous holding an umbrella over Sweeney in the rain while dressed in Brunello Cucinelli brown leather tailoring. Like her, he teamed it with cozy knitwear, sporting a gray V-neck cardigan that he left unbuttoned with a simple white T-shirt underneath.

Davino, 41, also embraced winter white, as seen in a pair of casual crisp white trousers and similarly pristine white sneakers — a daring styling choice considering the inclement weather conditions. He completed the look with black aviator sunglasses that mirrored Sweeney’s.

Even after dark, their choice of eyewear wasn’t as surprising considering the pair have just returned from a vacation spent soaking up the sun in the Florida Keys.

After Sweeney was photographed looking lovely in a lilac bikini, she incited a flurry of critical comments about her appearance and swiftly shut them down by posting them to her Instagram.

In a Friday, December 13, social media video, Sweeney made a montage of the criticism followed by clips of herself hitting the gym. She was training for her new movie, an untitled biopic about female boxer Christy Martin.

Dive Into Glamour With the Daphne Groeneveld x Oceanus Resort Collection

Luxury resort label Oceanus has tapped It Girl and Dutch model Daphne Groeneveld for a glamorous new resort collection of swimwear, matching sets, jewelry and more just in time for winter getaways on the horizon.

Groeneveld, 29, who has appeared in campaigns for the likes of Tom Ford, Miu Miu and Jean Paul Gaultier, applied first-hand expertise gleaned from her days spent in front of the camera to create the splashy new offering, which has pieces ranging from $300 to $1,200.

“Modeling has given me the chance to work with incredible fashion houses, where I’ve learned so much about shapes and design,” Groeneveld told Us. “That experience really shaped how I approached this collection.”

Drawing inspiration from Greek mythology and the story of Daphne, the mythological nymph who turned into a tree at the touch of Apollo, Groeneveld and Oceanus dreamt up pieces that celebrate the harmony of natural elements and mythical beauty. The end result is an irresistibly sparkly, sequined and embellished collection imbued with meaning and purpose.

There are laurel tree motifs and floral prints that nod to the Daphne Odora flower as well as flowing silhouettes that mimic the deep blue sea. In addition to glitter-flecked swimwear, there is playful, evening-focused resortwear. The high-shine party dresses and rhinestone-dotted separates, in particular, are dazzling options for a tropical night out in a far-flung locale.

“I focused on creating unique silhouettes inspired by classic designs while staying true to Oceanus’s style,” Groeneveld said. “This collection truly reflects my summer style, featuring vibrant colors, pearls and the two-piece sets that I adore.”

As for Groeneveld’s personal favorites, she shared: “I’m especially obsessed with the beach cover-up, as I always wear it when I’m on holiday. It’s easy to wear yet looks very elevated. The two-piece sets are so fun for festive occasions, and the halter-neck dress is the most unique piece, featuring perfect pearls on the back and a stunning beaded pattern.”

Bella Hadid Put a Surprisingly Affordable Twist on Your Grandma’s Pearls

Bella Hadid Upgrades the Little Black Bag
Bella Hadid

Bella Hadid just nailed the art of high-low dressing in a look that was all about the accessories.

When the supermodel headed out for dinner in New York City on Thursday, December 12, she doubled down on statement accessories that came with two very different price points.

Hadid, 28, carried a Saint Laurent Le Sac De Jour bag in a black croc-effect finish, which will set you back $3,900. The epitome of timeless and versatile fashion that can go the distance, the tote was stamped with the designer’s moniker and featured a decorative padlock inspired by vintage luggage. Tied with an heirloom-worthy Hermès silk scarf on one handle, the combination exuded Old Money vibes while also lending her all-black look a welcome pop of print and color.

She wore grandma’s pearl earrings, giving the uptown jewelry staple a downtown twist. With their geometric design and lustrous finish, Hadid’s Missoma bijoux looked like splurge but actually retails for a very reasonable $209. Crafted from 18-carat recycled gold with large button and square cultured freshwater pearls, the brand describes the earrings as “reimagined pearls.”

Given her bag and bijoux were the outfit-makers, Hadid kept the rest of her ensemble more pared-back, though certainly no less polished. She paired a micro miniskirt with opaque black tights tucked into ’90s-esque knee-high black leather boots with a pointed toe and a spiked heel.

Her sweater featured a prim color rendered in black leather, moving the preppy detail to an edgy new place. She balanced out the sultry plunging neckline by wearing her geek-chic eyeglasses, which is another accessory Hadid has recently been making something of a signature.

Just as sophisticated was her long black wool coat, which she wore intentionally oversize to lend the buttoned-up look some much-needed swagger. And let’s face it: grandma could never.

Nicholas Hoult, Bryana Holly Make Red Carpet Debut After 7 Years Together

Nicholas Hoult and Bryana Holly make red carpet debut after seven years together
(L-R) Bryana Holly and Nicholas Hoult.

Forget “Instagram official” — for celebrity couples, it’s all about the red carpet debut. It’s a subtle way of saying to the world, “We’re a thing,” without actually having to, you know, talk to anyone.

The approach is seemingly made for very private actors like Nicholas Hoult. After seven years into his relationship with model Bryana Holly, he (finally!) made things red-carpet official during the Thursday, December 12, Los Angeles premiere of his new film Nosferatu.

The couple was perfectly in sync in his-and-hers monochromatic style, which spoke to their low-key approach to living in the public eye and shared love of minimalist red-carpet fashion.

Hoult, 34, looked sharp in an impeccably tailored suit by The Row that was head-to-toe chocolate brown, right down to his skinny tie. The actor’s 5 o’clock stubble offered a relaxed counterpoint to his crisp tailoring. Slick patent-leather dress shoes added a polished finish and also mirrored his longtime love’s own attire: an effortlessly glamorous little black satin dress.

Holly, 31, was the picture of a supportive, stylish partner in the body-con balconette silhouette that hugged her in all the right places (as did Hoult, who wrapped his arm around her waist).

She left the jewelry at home, save for a simple gold band on her right hand, which was perfectly manicured in a shade of cherry red. The blonde beauty paired loose curls with a rosy glow, which was perhaps also in part due to hitting the milestone with her handsome leading man.

Hoult all but confirmed their relationship status at the 2024 Governors Awards in Los Angeles last month when he referred to Holly as his wife. Later when pressed by reporters as to whether or not they had indeed tied the knot, he simply replied: “I feel like it’s fairly clear from my comments.”

The couple first sparked marriage rumors when they attended the Venetian wedding of Mad Max actress Anya Taylor-Joy and Malcolm McRae in October 2023, where they were also spotted wearing gold wedding bands.

They share two kids: son Joaquin, 6, and a second child born in 2022, whose name and sex have yet to be announced.

Taylor Swift Thanks Young Fan for Calling Her Outfit ‘Tea’

Taylor Swift’s most important fashion critic? Her fans, of course.

When the “Karma” singer dropped by the Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City on Thursday, December 12, surprising patients, staffers and their families, she appeared just as gracious as they were after a young fan complimented her clothes.

“Thank you for saying my outfit [is] tea. You made my day,” she politely told one fan named Naya, who for her part, wore a “What Goes Around…Comes Around” pink T-shirt and a friendship bracelet stack.

After snapping photos together and gifting Naya with a signed copy of her commemorative Eras Tour book, the Grammy winner left her with what is perhaps the ultimate Swiftie Christmas present: a TikTok cameo to her song “Bad Blood,” which Swift filmed right there in the hospital.

Taylor Swift Laughs With Kids About Travis, Chiefs During Hospital Visit

“Boy, ain’t no way I [just] woke up and tripped out with Taylor Swift,” the fan captioned the video. In the clip, Swift, 34, ripped open the curtain in the patient’s hospital room before breaking into her iconic strut from the Eras Tour, a move that can be traced to the hit anthem’s music video.

Swift’s look was a far cry from the sparkly pink beaded Roberto Cavalli bralette and skirt that she wore on stage during her record-shattering tour, which wrapped December 8 in Vancouver.

Instead, she continued her plaid streak in a Miu Miu tartan button-down shirt and pleated skirt paired with black opaque tights and her signature Christian Louboutin knee-high boots sans sequins. To complete the look, she swiped on her favorite Pat McGrath matte red lipstick.

While the ensemble was tame by Eras Tour standards, it was, as the fan put it, very “tea” — and very T. Swift. Plaids are a fixture of her Chiefs game day outfits, which have included a Versace skirt suit and Vivienne Westwood frock for recent match-ups. When she debuted her loud luxury era in a Louis Vuitton watch and Gucci loafers, Swift bundled up in a plaid coat by Carolina Herrera.

Swift will enter a new era when she celebrates her 35th birthday on Friday, December 13. Only time will tell what the next year will bring sartorially speaking, but it’s clear she wanted to kick things off by spreading joy and serving up some festive holiday style inspiration along the way.

Elizabeth Hurley Recalls Hugh Grant’s Reaction to Versace Dress: ‘Christ’

Elizabeth Hurley Recalls Hugh Grant s Reaction to Seeing Her in Iconic Versace Dress Christ
Elizabeth Hurley and Hugh Grant.

Much has been said about Elizabeth Hurley’s iconic Versace dress that upstaged then-boyfriend Hugh Grant at his own Four Weddings and a Funeral premiere in 1994.

Grant, 64, had an initial reaction that said it all, as Hurley, 59, revealed on the December 11, episode of the “The Coop With Kit” podcast. “When he saw me in it for the first time he just went, ‘Christ.’’’

And can you blame him? The risqué design, with its plunging neckline and cutouts held together with gold Medusa’s head safety pins, was nothing short of daring, even by red carpet standards.

As Donatella Versace explained to InStyle in 2019: “That’s when we started to realize the power of the red carpet and celebrities in creating topics of conversation.” Versace, 69, continued: “No one could really fathom such an astonishing reaction, or that Liz would steal the spotlight.”

Elizabeth Hurley's Iconic Safety Pin Dress Was Her 1st Couture Experience

Not that Hurley’s date seemed to mind. Simply look back at the (many red carpet) shots, and you’ll notice a floppy-haired Grant smiling sheepishly next to her, unable to believe his luck. (The couple dated from 1987 to 2000, and since the break up, have remained close; the actor is also the godfather of Hurley’s 22-year-old son, Damian, whom she shares with Steve Bing.)

To Grant’s credit, he was the one who called in “a favor” after numerous fashion houses turned down his request for her to borrow a dress for the premiere because they didn’t know who she was. (At the time, Hurley was a model and save for a few small roles, was unknown in Hollywood.)

Gianni made that dress for a woman who is sure of herself and who isn’t afraid to break the rules,” Donatella told Harper’s Bazaar of her late brother in 2023. “Liz embodied all of this in an extraordinary way.”

Perhaps just as extraordinary is that, according to Hurley, the 1994 premiere has become something of an (unofficial) anniversary that’s recognized and seemingly celebrated annually.

“People ring me up and say ‘Happy birthday’ to that dress. So yeah, that dress has birthdays.” Till next year.

How Mindy Kaling Really Felt About Winning Us’ ‘Who Wore It Best?’

Mindy Kaling Had the Most Relatable Response to Winning Who Wore It Best

Mindy Kaling had the most relatable response to winning a recent edition of “Who Wore It Best?”

In the December 2 issue of Us Weekly, Kaling, 45, out-fashioned Nicki Minaj in an Instagram poll that let our followers decide which star wore the same black-and-white Versace dress better.

Kaling, earned 61 percent of votes for her glamorous turn in the archival 2012 design at the Academy Museum Gala, where she was styled by Jenna Anne Filingeri, this past October. Meanwhile, Minaj, 42, had an edgier interpretation at the 2011 Billboard Women in Music Awards, but not enough to edge out Kaling.

Kaling also saw the results and had a highly relatable, predictably hilarious response to her unexpected win while visiting The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on Tuesday, December 10.

@colbertlateshow

#MindyKaling has nothing but love, fear and respect for Queen @Nicki Minaj — even when @Us Weekly gives her the title of “who wore it best.” They’re both winners in our book! #Colbert

♬ original sound – colbertlateshow

“This is the first time [winning] ever!” she gushed to Colbert with visible glee but then shifted to a more diplomatic tone. “OK, so as a feminist, I don’t like pitting women against each other. As a vain person who’s competitive, I like to look better than other people. I have to balance these two.”

Kaling continued: “Before [I was] in the public eye, I would read these things. And then when I became slightly famous, I started going in… and they’re always putting me against, like, Bella Hadid, and they’re like, ‘Who wore it better: Mindy Kaling in the striped sweater or a supermodel in the same sweater?’ And it’s always the more traditionally good-looking person.”

She quickly reiterated: “But for the first time ever…” to which Colbert gave her props: “You smoked her.” Kaling added that she’d be more hyped if she’d won over anyone but the Pinkprint singer. “I can’t even enjoy it, because it’s Nicki Minaj, who I fear and respect,” she said.

But for the record: Minaj has long been a vocal supporter of women, like Kaling as well as herself, who aren’t afraid to mince words. “Stop feeling like you shouldn’t speak your mind ’cause somebody’s going to call you a bitch,” she said in 2015. “Speak your motherf–ing mind.”

Mindy Kaling Looks Sleek in Structural Black Dress on 2024 Emmys Red Carpet

Kaling hasn’t shied away from the fact that it takes work to consistently look so chic on the red carpet. “I don’t understand what’s so great about effortlessness,” she told Nylon in 2017. “I think showing up means you care. So, for me, I’m very effortful,” she said, while also giving props to Reese Witherspoon, who she refers to as a fellow effortful dresser. (“I never see Reese without perfect hair, perfect makeup.”)

It also isn’t the first time Kaling has spoken up when she finds herself in a fashion face-off, which for her, has included multiple twinning moments with Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales.

Back in 2014, Kaling shared a side-by-side split on Instagram of the two of them in the same L.K. Bennet floral frock. The accompanying caption read: “UHH, Miss Duchess Whoever, I WORE this dress last week! What’s next? Kate in my donut print pajama bottoms I mean c’mon.”

Even in less “highly scientific” situations than Us Weekly’s “Who Wore It Best?” (as the comedian sarcastically put it), she loves to see other celebrities who share her sense of style.

Mindy Kaling is 1 of Us Weekly's 2023 Breakout Style Stars

In 2022, designer Tory Burch posted an Instagram photo of Middleton, 52, wearing the brand’s floral frock in Belize, which prompted Kaling to comment: “I have this dress, and I screeched when I saw it on her.”

The next year, Kaling earned a spot on Us Weekly‘s 2023 list of breakout style stars. And something tells Us, this won’t be the last time she comes out on top in “Who Wore It Best?” either.

You’ll Never Guess What’s In Kris Jenner’s Giant $255,000 Birkin Bag

Chances are you’ve heard the saying, “The devil works hard, but Kris Jenner works harder.”

The statement never felt more fitting than on Tuesday, December 10, when Kylie Jenner shared an Instagram video promoting Khy x Entire Studios, which stars her mom Kris, 69, in the new campaign.

Kris was in full momager mode while she rummaged through her giant bag filled with her kids’ stuff. Of course, she doesn’t own just any old “mom bag,” but an Hermès Hac 50 Birkin with a rare matte black crocodile finish, which can cost over $255,000, per 1stDibs.

Kris gets a 10 percent cut of the revenue from her children’s businesses, which doesn’t account for all the free goodies that were on full display in Kylie’s Instagram video.

Khloe Kardashian Is Launching Her Own Fragrance, and Her Sisters Approve

“I chose to bring a very tiny bag to set today,” she told Kylie, 27, who shot the video as well as the campaign. “Listen: I only have the essentials of anything I must have in my bag at all times.”

First, she pulled out Khloé’s newly released fragrance, XO Khloé, which she said “smells divine.”

Next was an even bigger bottle of 818, Kendall’s tequila brand. “And who doesn’t need a bottle of tequila?” she wondered out loud. “I always carry one or two bottles in case of an emergency.”

All the better to wash down one of Kourtney’s Lemmy sleep gummies. “I haven’t slept since 1978,” Kris quipped before pulling out Skims men’s boxers, which she joked she carried in case she needed to change in the middle of the day before admitting they were her boyfriend, Corey’s.

Kylie Jenner Is Over Lash Extensions Since Embracing ‘Dark Feminine’ Style

Kris searched for her “favorite f–ing mascara” but, instead and to her delight, found a can of Kylie’s spiked vodka seltzer, Sprinter, which she said “was “even better for a 3 o’clock pick-me-up.”

She followed it up by swiping on Kylie Cosmetics lip liner and said, “This is where it all began.”

Lindsay Lohan’s Mom Dina Also Got a Beauty Glow-Up

Is Dina Lohan Having a Glow Up Too 291
Dina Lohan.

It seems Dina Lohan has located — and dipped a toe in — the proverbial fountain of youth.

Dina, 62, made Us do a double take when she attended the Art Bodega Holiday Party on Monday, December 9, in New York City. While her attire was perfectly polished — particularly by festive style standards — it was her youthful visage that took the look to a head-swiveling new level.

Hours earlier, her daughter Lindsay, 38, revealed one of the secrets behind her glowing skin via Instagram. The actress posted a selfie with Dr. Radmila Lukian, a celebrity dermatologist and anti-aging specialist based in Dubai whose cleansing facials Lindsay and other stars swear by.

She looked positively luminous in the snap, which was a testament to regular trips to the spa. Meanwhile back in Manhattan, Dina’s approach to age-defying glam made a world of difference.

Us Needs to Talk About How Lindsay Lohan Looks Chicer Than Ever

Her makeup included well-honed details: a bit of subtle shading at eye-level, a lip that upped the ante on natural nude and, of course, that Lohan glow, along with a healthy swirl of bronzer. She kept her look radiant and warm with her blonde hair in soft, brushed waves that framed her face.

Dina’s emerald frock was proof that a wrap dress has the ability to span generations and special occasions, as it would look right at home come Christmas with her grandkids. (Lindsay shares 1-year-old son, Luai, with her financier husband, Bader Shammas.)

Last year, Dina said that all she wanted for Christmas was her own “talk show” and “a facelift,” the latter of which she got in time for the holidays.

“I always believed in growing old gracefully, but if you want to do something for yourself, go for it,” she told The Post of working with plastic surgeon Dr. Ira Savetsky, who performed a custom facial rejuvenation surgery, including a facelift and necklift, in December 2023.

So This Is How Lindsay Lohan Gets Her Skin So Glowy

“I wanted to look like a younger version of myself,” she said. “Most of my friends did this 10, 15 years ago.” Here’s hoping that a talk show with Dina and Lindsay Lohan isn’t so far behind.

And She Can Cook, Too: Jennifer Lopez Serves Up Glamour in the Kitchen

JLo Is a Literal Snack Cooking in Backless Gown

Is there anything Jennifer Lopez can’t do? She can sing, act, dance, cook — and she does it all in six-inch heels.

After spending the evening at what we can assume was a formal affair, Lopez retreated to her Los Angeles home on Sunday, December 8, for some late-night comfort food, as seen in a snap posted via her Instagram.

She quite literally sizzled in a sequined black dress and Femme LA stilettos as she made pasta with red sauce. “My favorite thing about going out is coming home for the midnight snack,” she wrote in the caption along with the pasta emoji.

Lopez did indeed look like a literal snack dripping in diamonds, which included oversized stud earrings and a near-blinding ring on her right hand. She was camera-ready with a full beat that included a smokey eye and contoured cheekbones, while her hair was styled in big-barrel curls.

Jennifer Lopez Debuts Blinged-Out Nails With Countless Swarovski Crystals

In another Instagram video that she posted two hours prior, the “Waiting for Tonight” singer could be seen strutting down a hallway in said gown, which featured a sultry crisscross cutout neckline. She then turned the corner, revealing the dress was entirely backless before ending the clip with a coy hair flip and flash of her megawatt smile, all to the sound of Brandon O’Neal’s “Believe in Yourself” audio.

The video received more than 150,000 likes in just 30 minutes and prompted a slew of comments from fans who praised her for serving up her signature glamour from the kitchen.

“EATING us all UP on this Sunday 🔥❤,” one fan wrote, while another added, “Show them how it’s done. What a SERVE! 🔥.”

Just 72 hours earlier, Lopez took home the “Maverick” award for Unstoppable at the 2024 IndieWire Awards. Held on Thursday, December 5, in Los Angeles, the triple-threat wore a similar spangly silver dress with towering Dolce & Gabbana gold metallic platforms, naturally.

As Lopez revealed to Harper’s Bazaar this past May, she prefers spending less time on red carpets and more time in the kitchen: “I love to cook. My kids love to bake. I love hosting at home [for] family and friends… I like to have people over. I don’t like to go out a bunch.”

Jennifer Lopez Leaves Little to the Imagination in Sultry Revenge Dress

Back in 2022, she spoke to Vogue about why she loves Christmas (“Because it’s so sparkly”) and how cooking is the holiday tradition that she and she and her family look forward to the most. (Lopez shares 16-year-old twins Emme and Max with ex-husband Marc Anthony.)

“We cook the same food every year, which I love because I wait for that food all year,” she told the publication. “Pasteles and arroz con gandules and pernil and all the, like, specialities.”

And judging by her latest Instagram, she isn’t waiting until then to spice things up in the kitchen.

So This Is How Lindsay Lohan Gets Her Skin So Glowy

Lindsay Lohan’s viral glow-up should be studied. During her press tour for Our Little Secret earlier this year, the internet was abuzz over her radiant visage. Velvety smooth and bouncy in texture, these days, it’s the face that regularly launches a thousand likes.

So when Lohan, 38, took to Instagram on Monday, December 9, to share a selfie with the dermatologist behind her flawless complexion, we didn’t waste a minute to do a deep dive into the woman who is, in part, responsible for the actress’ much-talked-about transformation.

Lindsay Lohans Facialist Revealed

Positioning herself as “Dubai’s first celebrity doctor,” Dr. Ramila Lukian is a dermatologist, anti-aging specialist and founder of the Lucia Clinic in Dubai, which provides both surgical and non-surgical services — including dermatology, plastic surgery, aesthetic, and cosmetic treatments for the face and body — creating tailor-made programs to “age gracefully.”

“I love getting cleansing facials at Lucia Clinic to keep my skin healthy and glowing,” Lohan is quoted as saying on Dr. Lukian’s website.

Us Needs to Talk About How Lindsay Lohan Looks Chicer Than Ever

The clinic performs several cleansing facials, such as microdermabrasion, which exfoliates to reveal brighter and smoother skin underneath, and the HydraFacial, a popular medical-grade treatment that targets fine lines, wrinkles and sun damage. It involves four steps — cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate and boost, courtesy of antioxidant infusions — and virtually no downtime.

It seems Lohan is a regular, as the actress was also spotted visiting the clinic on October 24, as seen on the doctor’s Instagram. “Such a pleasure having my lovely @lindsaylohan at Lucia Clinic,” Dr. Lukian captioned the post. “I love taking care of your skin’s health and beauty!”

A quick gander at Dr. Lukian’s feed reveals that she also works with a slew of A-listers, including supermodels Naomi Campbell and Joan Smalls and actress Eva Longoria, and is frequently seen cozying up to them at glamorous black-tie charity events around the globe.

Indeed, Dr. Lukian’s website confirms this, noting that she “provides individualized treatment to a global clientele — including some of the most glamorous and influential figures in the world.”

Lindsay Lohan Is In a New Style Era — And We’re Loving It

After all, every red-carpet appearance is prefaced by a multitude of beauty treatments, but perhaps the most important are those performed on the face. Facials not only help improve the quality of the skin, but also what’s beneath it, creating the ultimate canvas for beautiful makeup (for the record, Lohan works with celebrity makeup artist, Ash K. Holm) — a nonnegotiable when you’re being photographed.

And considering the HydraFacial is offered at locations around the United States, you needn’t go all the way to Dubai to glow like Lohan.
