America's Top Star-Studded Restaurants, From The Corner Store to Craig's

The red carpet isn’t the only place to spot an A-lister. If you want to experience an exciting and unexpected celebrity sighting, certain restaurants are where you’ll want to be.

Not only did we round up a wow-worthy list — one that includes The Corner Store in NYC, which has attracted big names like Selena Gomez and Leonardo DiCaprio, to Craig’s in West Hollywood, where Ben Affleck, Kim Kardashian and more have dined — but we also broke down the vibe to be expected at each joint, the highly-recommended dishes you’ll want to order, and of course, the famous faces you might see.

What We’re Loving, From Next-Level Cocktails to Celeb-Fave Cowgirl Boots

Memorial Day Weekend is here, which means one thing: it’s the official kickoff to summer.

So while you take a break from prepping your weekenders with Instagram-worthy outfits or ride the train that’s headed to your nearest beach town, Us is back with another roundup of hype-worthy launches and celebrity sightings to keep you entertained.

First things first: Let’s discuss House of the Red Pearl’s latest addition. The New York City hotspot — belonging to notable restaurateur and culinary mastermind Jean-Georges Vongerichten — released a Chinese-American-inspired drink menu that’ll impress both city dwellers and out-of-towners. (One beverage is even served with crispy wontons!)

If you’re not based in the Big Apple, there’s still exciting newness you can get your hands on. For example, Gabrielle Union recently wore Tecovas’ Abby cowgirl boots at Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour. The statement shoes are a perfect pairing for all the flirty LWDs (little white dresses) you’ll wear this summer, or you can style them with a microskirt just like Union did.

Keep scrolling to see what else we’re loving this week:

The Desert Rose Melting Body Balm from Ashley Tisdale’s beauty and wellness brand, Being Frenshe (Fun fact: The brand name — pronounced “french-ee” — pays homage to Tisdale’s husband Christopher French) is truly the crème de la crème. The hydrating blend transforms into an oil-like consistency as you apply it, and leaves skin baby-soft and smelling incredible.

Skims Emma Grede Shares Her Secrets to Success, Self-Care Routine, More

Emma Grede is nothing short of inspirational.

She’s the Founding Partner of Skims, the cofounder and CEO of Good American and Forbes listed her as one of America’s richest self-made women. She also does philanthropic work for the Fifteen Percent Pledge and the Obama Foundation.

But that’s not all: the fashion and consumer brand mastermind’s resume just became even more impressive. She recently launched her namesake podcast, Aspire with Emma Grede.

The serial entrepreneur told Us that the inspiration behind the name stemmed from the notion of “believing in something” and then “aspiring” to achieve those goals. For Grede, it’s not just about having hopes and dreams, but “doing the work” to achieve them.

Martha Stewart, Keke Palmer, More Stars Share 101 Tips to Improve Your Life

The show, which is now listed at number three on Apple’s Top New Shows list, has since released several episodes, featuring chats with business moguls from Gwyneth Paltrow and Michael Rubin to Karlie Kloss. But don’t expect Aspire to be just another podcast in the entrepreneurship space that will leave people “entertained” — it goes beyond that.

Emma Grede Jamie Girdler

It’s safe to say the founder’s upbringing helped set the blueprint for this show. “[I] grew up in a place that was not very inspiring,” she said, revealing that she is “super dyslexic” herself. “I need things broken down in a really simple way,” Grede admitted. “And I really want to be able to do that for people.”

And though Grede is quick to also acknowledge how “fortunate” she feels to have “had exposure to so many incredible people,” she understands that’s not the case for everyone.

“Sometimes you don’t have the people around you that can give you [the right] information,” she shared. “[Aspire] is about giving people actionable, tangible advice that they can listen to and [use].”

Billy Porter, Donna Kelce, Guerdy Abraira and More Share Go-to Advice

Of course, we at Us are also curious about the daily habits Grede has attributed to her success. Discussing the topic of manifestation — a word that seems to be everywhere nowadays, Grede takes a more traditional approach.

Although she’s not completely against the idea of repeating positive affirmations and meditation, she stresses how nothing beats “real hard work and some sacrifice.” Added Grede: “None of it is a substitute for really hard work,” she emphasized. “You need to have a plan and you need to work really, really hard towards it. That’s what’s going to make you successful.”

She brought up another fantastic point. “If you’re gonna be successful to be successful in business, you have to be successful in life, right? You can’t really have one without the other,” she stated. “There’s other things that I do, parts of my routine, that enable me to be successful,” she noted. One of those other things: how she uses her free time upon waking up.

“My first ever job was a paper route. And when you have a paper route, you have to get up really, really early in the morning to go and get the papers,” she explained. “[That’s where] I learned the power of the mornings.”

Are Any of These Celebs' Luxurious Morning Routines Just Like Us?

But no morning is ever the same for the mom-of-four, and that’s completely OK and besides the point. Whether she uses an “hour and a half to work out” or to sip on some hot water with lemon, it doesn’t matter. She’s still avoiding checking her phone right away so she has time to think about how she will own the day.

Speaking of self-care practices, what beauty products can she not live without? “I have to confess: I am a product junkie,” she joked. But her answer is surprisingly simple when it comes to the pampering buys she truly swears by.

“I only have to do two things,” she stated, referring to Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Pen and her “favorite” scent, Chanel’s N°22 eau de parfum. “If I have my eyebrows penciled [in] and I have fragrance, I can go anywhere.”

A Celebrity Dermatologist’s Foolproof Guide To Proper Sun Protection

Beach season is around the corner, and we can hardly wait. So while we stand by for all the memorable, sun-filled days spent by the ocean, there’s no better time than now to prepare our sunscreen arsenals.

It’s safe to say we all know how crucial wearing SPF is. But with so much information and products on the market, how do we know which formulas to use and the best application techniques to practice?

Luckily for us, Dr. Dhaval G. Bhanusali, a celebrity board-certified dermatologist at Hudson Dermatology & Laser Surgery—whose clients include Hailey Bieber and Martha Stewart — shared his top tips for effectively shielding against UV rays.

From his honest take on mineral sunscreens to the keywords to look out for on labels, here’s his foolproof guide to solid suncare.

ONE SIZE DOESN’T FIT ALL

Ultra Violette

Are mineral sunscreens — a.k.a. formulas infused with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide — a must for delicate complexions? Not always. “Previously, it was believed that [they] were better for sensitive skin, but with improved formulas and science, there is no longer such a divide,” Bhanusali explained. If you are a fan of physical blends, we’re loving the Future Screen SPF 50 Modern Mineral Skinscreen from Ultra Violette.

YES, YOU NEED TO WEAR SPF INDOORS

The expert reminded Us that you’re not only susceptible to UV damage when you’re in the sun: “UV rays can penetrate through glass and are even present during the cloudy days when you expect it least.”

PAY ATTENTION TO LABELS

Neutrogena

Bhanusali encourages choosing a sunscreen with “at least an SPF of 30 or higher” and making sure “broad-spectrum” is on the packaging. His go-to? The Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Mineral Face Liquid Sunscreen with Broad Spectrum SPF 70, as it “goes on invisible and blends really well.” Not to mention, it’s “hydrating and [great] for all skin types.”

DON’T NEGLECT BODY PARTS

“One of the best anti-aging hacks I teach my patients is to apply sunscreen to the neck, décolletage and back of hands,” he shared. “While it may not seem important now, it makes all the difference when someone gets older.”

RETHINK YOUR POST-BEACH BRONZE

Mother Science

“A tan is actually the sign of your body trying to protect itself after injury,” Bhanusali says. “A sunburn is really the result of cell death. The hyperpigmentation you get later is directly because of the decisions you make today,” he emphasizes. And if you’re currently trying to minimize the intensity of dark spots, we recommend a radiance booster like Mother Science’s Molecular Hero Serum.

THE TRICK TO PROPER SPF APPLICATION

“Apply about two finger-lengths of sunscreen and reapply every two hours or so, especially if out in the sun,” the dermatologist says. “I like [using] three finger-lengths a bit better, so there’s enough for the neck as well.”

THE TRUTH ABOUT MAKEUP-INFUSED SPF

La Roche-Posay, Colorescience

“There are a lot of tinted sunscreens [and powders] that can help improve the appearance of skin,” he notes, adding that the latter is best suited for “reapplication” purposes only. We’re fans of these two trusty picks: La Roche-Posay’s Anthelios Tinted Mineral Sunscreen and Colorescience’s Sunforgettable Total Protection Brush-On Shield SPF 50.

STOP BELIEVING THIS MYTH

“All sunscreens don’t cause a white cast,” he stresses. “We have much better formulations these days, and many of my patients use sunscreens underneath their makeup and have no issues at all.”

DOUBLE-DUTY MUST-HAVE

If you’re looking for a vacation SPF that also doubles as a great makeup primer, Bhanusali suggests EltaMD UV Skin Recovery. “The green tint helps offset any redness you have and goes on the skin seamlessly.”

What We’re Eyeing This Week, From A-List Sunnies to Celeb-Loved Mascara

As editors at Us Weekly, it’s our duty to always be on the lookout for the latest and greatest celebrity launches and happenings.

This week, we’ve made some exciting discoveries that appeal to everyone from the spirit connoisseur and the product hoarder, to the fashionista who always has her pulse on the hottest new accessory.

Let’s begin with Martingale Cognac. Even if you’ve stressed plenty of times to your boyfriend that you’re not a brandy girl, the high-quality spirit will make you think again. Backed by Derrick “D-Nice” Jones and Donnie Wahlberg (who are both investors), the smooth beverage is housed in an impressive bottle that may very well earn you the ‘Best Houseguest’ title when you arrive at your Hamptons share house this summer.

Another special mention must go to the Ribbon Wrapped Lash Tubing Mascara from celebrity-loved brand Too Faced. The company is known for its hype-worthy lash lifters, but trust Us when we say this makeup must-have delivers curl, volume and length without smudging — even in humid conditions.

See what else we’re into this week:

Why Bronde Is the Must-Have Shade for This Season, According to a Celeb Hairstylist

Princess Kate Middleton recently showcased lighter tresses during a trip to Scotland, making Us wonder: Is bronde the new blonde?

Middleton, 43, is not the only celebrity to rock the buzzy shade. Hollywood royalty, from Ciara and Jessica Alba to Halle Berry and Hailey Bieber, have, too.

So naturally, we tapped an expert to find out if the hot hue is worth the hype. It turns out it is — and the reasoning goes beyond “the Kate effect.”

“The warm tonality naturally enhances the complexion [by] bringing a flush to the cheeks and a warmer tint to the lips,” celebrity hairstylist Adir Abergel said of the trending color, which is particularly an ideal choice for brunettes. The creative director of hair care brand Virtue further explained that the “sunkissed” tone “mixes bronze and honey tones with [brown] shades,” which is why it’s a perfect option for the warm-weather season.

Read on to see what else the pro had to dish on the blonde-meets-brunette shade, from how to get it at your hair salon to at-home tips for keeping its vibrancy:

Who’s the Best Candidate?

“[The color] best complements people with deep brown, green or honey eyes,” the pro shared. “Blue-eyed individuals can still wear bronde but may need to adjust their makeup to avoid looking washed out.”

What To Ask Your Colorist:

“Bring plenty of pictures, [as] visuals always communicate best,” the mane-master noted. “[When] describing it verbally to your colorist, use terms like ‘bronze,’ ‘warm highlights,’ ‘minimal contrast’ and ‘sun-kissed,’ he added.

Why It’s Better Than Going Totally Blonde:

“Brunettes transitioning to bronde will have a significantly easier upkeep routine compared to going fully blonde. Touch-ups might be needed twice a year, whereas full blonde transformations often require salon visits every four weeks.”

How To Maintain It at Home:

Virtue ColorKick Shampoo is excellent for brondes,” Abergel stated. “It brightens, tones and neutralizes brassiness. Virtue’s ColorKick Mask [also] has a hair-healing protein that provides intense hydration, maintains illumination and fights color fade.”

Stylist Stacy London Speaks to Hot Summer Fashion Trends and Style Tips

If there’s anyone we can count on for solid and honest fashion advice, it’s Stacy London.

Lucky for Us, the What Not to Wear alum, who now stars on Prime Video’s Wear Whatever the F You Want show alongside Clinton Kelly, shared her insight on summer’s biggest trends.

London dished out simple style tips that will help you step up your daily outfits without breaking the bank. Some of them were surprising but refreshing, such as opting for a particular vibrant hue rather than season-typical pastels or earthy colorways. The expert also emphasized how a certain unexpected pattern is taking center stage, and it’s actually an easy print to incorporate into your everyday looks.

Another must-have style she spoke to is one that’s been all over the red carpet, and it reiterates the fact that, yes, less is more.

Last but far from least, she revealed to the cool-girl accessory that’s having a big-time resurgence and the forever iconic wardrobe must item will leave you effortlessly channeling Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis with a modern-day twist.

Without further ado, read on for everything the fashion expert had to say about the hottest trends for hot-weather days:

Blue Is the New Black

“All trends come back sooner or later,” London told Us, explaining that while “last year was all about red,” now we’re seeing a pivot towards “blue shades, including periwinkle, cornflower, azure and cobalt.” The reason? “Blues are generally flattering on all skin tones.”

For a chic, but statement-making getup in a cheerful shade, we’re coveting Mango’s Straight-fit Suit Jacket paired with the brand’s Straight Suit Trousers. (“I love a monochromatic, bright-colored look because it’s sophisticated without being the plethora of stealth wealth neutrals we’ve seen in the past few years,” she noted.)

And if you find the blue-on-blue too much, London suggested to “try [an accessory for] a pop of the color.” (To get the look, consider Coach’s Soho Flap Bag.)

It Print

“Polka dots are everywhere and probably the easiest and most versatile geometric print there is,” London said. “There’s no [wrong] way to wear dots,” she said, so have fun with it!

Simply Sheer

Sheer is having a moment again, and London says the see-through fad “has a more minimal and architectural feel [similar to how it appeared] in the ’90s.” She loves The Frankie Shop’s designs, including the brand’s Peri Sheer Midi Skirt. When it comes to styling a transparent number, London advised wearing it with a “tucked-in collared shirt or tank.”

Precious Gems

“Every year we hear the brooch is making a comeback,” the What Not to Wear alum quipped. “I think we are finally here.” And although we’ve seen a surge of them on recent red carpets, London has a savvy style hack if you’re interested in buying one that’s unique but still wallet-friendly: “Vintage brooches can be really inexpensive at flea markets.”

Iconic Accessory

“The headscarf trend comes around year after year, but especially [during the warm weather months] when photos of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis [who’s widely credited with kicking off the timeless trend in the 1960s] start to surface,” London said.

Not sure how to put it on? It’s easier than you think. “Take a large square scarf and fold it into a triangle,” she explained. Then, “position it on top of your head, with the pointed edge facing backward, and either tie it behind your head or underneath your chin.” The style guru said a “light silk scarf” is a popular choice, and Sabrina Carpenter is jut the latest in a long line of proof.

Lucy Hale’s Summer Beauty Picks Will Inspire You to Revamp Your Routine

Lucy Hale should add “beauty guru” to her résumé.

The actress —who recently joined forces with Eucerin — left us thoroughly impressed when she shared exactly how she cares for her complexion. For example, Hale, 35, always carries rose water spray to keep her skin looking plump, moisturized and smooth on the go.

Another genius hack she spilled? Elevating her water with electrolytes or fruit which can serve as an extra hydration boost. (After all, good skin also comes from within!)

Hale’s knowledge of solid skincare habits isn’t the only reason her partnership with Eucerin is a match made in beauty heaven. Although The F*** Marry Kill alum is a longtime fan of Eucerin, calling the products “great for my sensitive skin.” Right now, she’s also loving the derm-approved brand’s new Radiant Tone Collection, as it targets one of her main concerns: dark spots.

“In my 20s, I was careless about sunscreen,” she told Us. “I’m at an age where dark spots are [surfacing].” The actress wards off those areas and pimples with Eucerin’s hyaluronic acid-infused Radiant Tone Dual Serum, which she applies on damp skin to ensure the formula is properly absorbed.

Hale’s sunbathing days may be over, but she fakes that just-left-the-beach appearance by applying Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream, noting, “I just want it to look like I slept in the sun!”

Hale appreciates how lightweight Eucerin’s Radiant Tone Daily Lotion SPF 30 is, adding that it works well underneath makeup.

The Pretty Little Liars star “swears by” the Hourglass Arch Brow Shaping Gel. “It’s amazing,” she said of the clear gel formula that doesn’t flake.

Hale prefers a scent that’s “a bit more light” around this time of year. One of her go-tos: Molecule 01 by Escentric Molecules.

Eucerin’s Radiant Tone Cleansing Gel leaves Hale’s face clean without feeling stripped.

She mixes her SPF-infused moisturizer with “a drop or two of a foundation,” like one from Armani Beauty. “I’m wearing less [makeup] in the summer. I like letting my skin breathe,” she said. (We recommend the brand’s cult classic Luminous Silk Perfect Natural Glow Foundation.)
 

The Best Met Gala 2025 Beauty Looks: From Statement Nails to Glowy Skin

The Met Gala may be fashion’s biggest night, but red carpet-ready beauty was also key this year.

Held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday, May 5, the theme was “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” which inspired the “Tailored for You” dress code, as the guests were encouraged to put a spin on menswear and suiting, which extended to the artfully curated glam and grooming.

The best looks were all about the finer details.

It’s safe to say that glowing, lit-from-within skin was definitely in. (We’re still not over Law Roach‘s radiant finish, which celebrity makeup artist A. Love helped achieve with e.l.f. Cosmetics Halo Glow Liquid Filter.) Dewy, luminous and healthy-looking complexions dominated the grand steps, while hair was shaped and styled to perfection.

Special attention was also given to nail art, as seen on Ego Nwodim and Cynthia Erivo.

Without further ado, scroll down to see these and more of the Met Gala 2025’s most memorable beauty moments.

May is here and we can finally leave winter’s dreariness in the past. We bet you’re ready to hop on a plane and escape to a hot oasis somewhere far, far away… but if you can’t, no worries. That’s where a bottle of Rumor’s super-chic French Côtes de Provence Rosé comes in hand.

Lindsay Lohan Goes Au Naturel in Makeup-Free Selfies

If there’s one thing everyone can all agree on, is that Lindsay Lohan’s glow-up remains unmatched.

Lohan, 38, proves that whether she’s out on the red carpet rocking next-level glam — typically, courtesy of celebrity makeup artist Ash K Holm — or hanging at home with a less-is-more beauty look, her skin is always on point.

Recently, the Freakier Friday star shared a photo dump in an Instagram post on Wednesday, April 23, that showcased sweet moments of her everyday life as of late, and a few of those pictures included cute selfies of the star seemingly without any makeup on.

Naturally, this left Us wondering what kind of skincare sorcery Lohan’s been storing in her beauty arsenal.

So This Is How Lindsay Lohan Gets Her Skin So Glowy

But the curiosity (er, obsession?) regarding Lohan’s undeniable glow-up isn’t anything new. It started around the premiere of Netflix’s Our Little Secret at the end of last year, and since then, fans have been curious about the regimen the star follows to maintain her practically flawless appearance.

One thing’s for certain: She’s not lazy when it comes to tending to her complexion. During an interview with Allure magazine in October 2024, she admitted to the publication, “I just take care of my skin.

She also mentioned being a fan of the cult-favorite Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Hydra-Gel Eye Patches from Peter Thomas Roth, which are adhesive under-eye masks infused with various amounts of hyaluronic acid — to pack on significant hydration — as well as de-puffing caffeine.

Fast-forward to December and Lohan shared more inside scoops on her skincare secrets when she posted a Snapchat from Lucia Clinic in Dubai alongside its owner, cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Radmila Lukian.

Although Lohan didn’t disclose which particular service she received that day, she captioned the story, “Skincare time.” (Lohan has previously credited the aesthetic practice’s “cleansing facials” as one of the reasons for her “glowing” complexion.)

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

We’re still eagerly tuning in to find out what products and treatments Lohan’s loving right now. Still, until we find out with absolute certainty, we’ll be staying consistent with our skincare routines and enjoying life’s small and big moments — just like LiLo.

The Top 6 Spring Denim Trends According to a Celebrity Stylist

Spring is in the air, and there’s no better time to give your outfit rotation a refresh, particularly your denim wardrobe.

And even if you already have that one pair of jeans you simply can’t live without, there’s no denying the excitement that comes with investing in a promising new style. So we decided to tap NYC-based celebrity stylist Meghan Stimac, who’s worked with stars like Emily Ratajkowski and Lily Aldridge, to get the scoop on the six best trends of the season.

Below, the expert-approved and A-list-worn trends — from a sleek straight-leg pant to a figure-flattering wide-leg silhouette. Plus, the footwear you should rock with them.

1. Straight

“It’s a perfect blend of structure and ease,” explains Stimac, who calls the style “a must-have for every wardrobe.” A spring-perfect flat, like The Danza from M.Gemi, or a design featuring a pointed or rounded toe, as seen on Zoe Saldana, are your best footwear pairings for this silhouette.

2. Cuffed

Expert Approved Spring Denim Trends

The fad is “a modern refresh on baggy, straight-leg and wide-leg jeans,” said Stimac, who also suggested completing this look with sporty trainers (we love the Gola Daytona Blaze Sneaker) or sexy heels just like Naomi Watts did.

3. Barrel

“These are quickly becoming a closet essential,” the fashion pro told Us. “The curved, wide-leg silhouette [creates] an editorial feel, making even the simplest pairings — tees, tanks and cardigans — look instantly cool.” Although statement stilettos or peep-toe pumps, like Julianne Moore’s, would look amazing with balloon jeans, preppy loafers like this pair from Steve Madden will be just as stylishly in step.

4. Capri

“With a ’60s mod feel and a touch of ’90s nostalgia, denim capris are making a strong comeback,” ensured Stimac. “Keep the look clean and chic by pairing them with a fitted top and sleek thong sandals.” And don’t think too much about it, either: Throw on a simple black tank like Gigi Hadid and versatile ballerina shoes, such as Boden’s Kitty Flexi Sole Ballet Flats.

5. Wide-Leg

Fashion meets function: “This is a timeless silhouette that flatters every body type,” the expert said of the baggy style. Elevate your pair with a retro platform, such as the Seychelles Paloma Sandal, and a romantic, ruffled blouse à la Sydney Sweeney.

6. Bootcut

“It’s a throwback with a modern twist,” Stimac said of the slightly flared pants, which give off subtle ’70 vibes. Meghan Markle was spotted wearing the style back in February of this year, and we love how she paired it with a simple bootie and oversized sweater. If the weather feels too hot for a closed-toe shoe, Stimac suggested reaching for an attention-grabbing slingback or a lace-up sandal with a slight heel.

Celebrities Can’t Stop Wearing This French Girl Flat for Spring

French girl ballet flats will never not be in, and Hollywood’s It Girls seemingly all agree.

The chic trend consists of wearing timeless wardrobe essentials that make you appear polished yet laid-back in one fell swoop. Of course, some of the best-dressed street style stars — think Kaia Gerber, Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner — have rocked the classic shoe, and we can’t help but notice the many different ways the wardrobe staple can look effortlessly elevated.

The charming style is versatile and ideal for the warmer weather. No matter what your personal aesthetic is, a black ballet flat will truly transform your everyday look in seconds.

Take Gerber, 23, for example. The supermodel was spotted on Thursday, April 3, in New York City in Repetto’s Cendrillon Ballerina Flats. She gave her bow-accented footwear a casual-meets-officecore touch by pairing them with Paloma Wool low-rise trousers, a navy blue crewneck sweatshirt, a playful Re/Done green cashmere scarf and an oversized chocolate-brown tote from Paloma Wool.

Jenner, 29, was also seen in the slip-on-and-go accessory on Friday, March 21, in Paris. The 818 Tequila founder appeared ready to take on the City of Light in a more preppy ensemble, which consisted of straight-leg denim jeans, a plaid coat from The Row’s Fall 2015 collection, plus the wool-cashmere Ophelia Sweater and the Marlo Large Leather Tote, also from the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen-founded luxury label.

But the dancer-inspired shoe doesn’t have to be worn solely with slacks or denim. On Tuesday, March 11, in Paris, Hadid, 29, gave her Mansur Gavriel Glove Flats an edgier twist by opting for leather barrel bottoms.

The Guest in Residence mastermind complemented the sleek, high-waisted Loewe trousers with a basic white top and an Alexander Wang bomber jacket. She topped off the simple but statement-making getup with two Miu Miu accessories that blend form and fashion: a black belt and the Arcadie Matelassé Nappa Leather Bag.

Next time you’re in the middle of a spring cleaning session in your closet, don’t overlook those endlessly wearable ballet flats that you may have tucked away. Bring them back out and pair them with anything, from everyday jeans to an oh-la-lovely slip dress and beyond.

Vintage Fashion Is a Must-Have for Celebrities — And It Can Be Yours, Too

For centuries, fashion has inspired, fostered creativity, sparked innovation and brought joy. However, the industry and its endless offerings can be harmful to the environment.

In fact, it’s the second-biggest consumer of water and responsible for about 10 percent of global carbon emissions. But there is good news! Eco-friendly fashion is more in demand than ever, with consumers and designers prioritizing sustainability.

“If I were celebrating one thing in the fashion industry today, it’s that they’re so willing to change the narrative,” Dr. Karen Pearson, Fashion Institute of Technology professor and chair of the school’s sustainability effort, shared with Us Weekly exclusively. Here, we salute some of the stars and designers making a (still stylish) impact.

ARCHIVAL AESTHETIC

Everything old is new (and hot!) again. Rocking pre-loved pieces has become a major Hollywood trend, and nobody has committed to it like Zendaya, who’s brought new life to archival items from Bob Mackie, Mugler, Maison Margiela and more. With Law Roach as her longtime image architect, it’s no surprise: Roach — who started his career with the now-defunct Deliciously Vintage clothing store — has made it his personal mission to reinvent iconic looks.

“I’ve been championing vintage for all of my career, and I was at the forefront of bringing vintage and archival to the red carpet,” he’s said. “I think the easiest way to be sustainable is just to wear something someone else has already worn and purchased.” Other stars famous for wearing archival and vintage stunners include Kim Kardashian, Hailey Bieber and Amal Clooney, to name a few.

STEP AND REPEAT

Even in the glamorous world of celebrities, there’s no shame in repeating outfits. “We’ve seen over the last decade [that fashion] used to be seasonal, now it’s trans-seasonal, multiseasonal and brands are designing for outlet stores,” Cate Blanchett has said. “When you know the world is consuming 18 billion pieces of clothing a year, which is up 400 percent from a decade ago, you think, ‘This is not working.’” And that is why the Black Bag actress has become known as the Queen of Sustainable Fashion. “This is not some strange club. I’m not the only person doing this,” she said. In fact, the club is getting larger all the time: Everyone from Kate Middleton to Halle Berry and Tiffany Haddish has recycled red-carpet looks.

FAMILY HEIRLOOMS

Angelina Jolie’s children have taken an eco-friendly approach to dressing by shopping her closet, a lesson they no doubt learned from their Oscar-winning mom. “We did all vintage and upcycled my old stuff,” the actress said of her family while on the red carpet at the 2021 Los Angeles premiere of Eternals. The actress went on to launch her purpose-driven label, Atelier Jolie, in 2023 and backed New York’s Fashion Act, aiming to make the industry more sustainable. She noted, “Everyone is aware, I think, of the waste of natural resources, overconsumption and overproduction and labor rights violations that currently take place in the industry and society as a whole.”

ECO-CHIC

Sustainable Style Stars

“Who says sustainability can’t be sexy?” asked designer Stella McCartney, who’s been a leader in eco-friendly design since 2001, after debuting a jumpsuit with the first-ever biodegradable sequins modeled by Cara Delevingne in the pages of Vogue. The designer continues to lead the way through her use of innovative fabrics and her commitment to circular fashion.

While McCartney set the bar for sustainable red carpet dressing, many designers are following suit — especially when it’s at the request of an A-lister! “If I’m going to go to the Met Ball, there has to be solar panels on my head, or I’m not going,” joked Amanda Seyfried, who asked Prada to create a gown for last year’s annual Costume Institue gala. The result? A striking silver confection that was repurposed from the fashion house’s Spring 2009 collection.

Sustainability is also at the forefront for celeb-loved labels like Reformation. Kacey Musgraves recently joined forces with the eco-friendly clothing label (which has been 100 percent carbon-neutral since 2015) on a capsule collection. “Partnering with an earth-conscious brand I’m organically a fan of was such a joy,” the country singer said.

These are just a few examples of the many celebrities, designers and brands working towards sustainability. “We should celebrate the innovations, and we should absolutely cheer for anybody who is willing to talk and try to do things differently,” Dr. Pearson noted. “We’re starting to see real movement and power towards that direction.”

And that’s good for all of Us!

HOW YOU CAN DO YOUR PART

If you’re in a position to splurge, take note from some of Hollywood’s best-dressed A-listers and dip your toes into the pre-loved luxury fashion market by shopping styles from the stars. In February, Paris Hilton contributed 100 of her most iconic clothing and accessories to Vestiaire Collective’s celebrity closet sale, which benefitted Los Angeles wildfire relief. Olivia Rodrigo worked with circular fashion marketplace Depop in 2021 to raise funds for charity by offering items from music video sets and her personal closet.

Or, shop secondhand where the stars do, like Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner’s favorite luxury resale destination, What Goes Around Comes Around, which recently partnered with mega-retailer Amazon to offer treasures from the likes of Dior, Fendi and more — all verified by the platform’s independent “in-house professional authentication process” prior to listing.

But you don’t have to break the bank to reduce your carbon footprint. With proper care for your clothes, you can extend their life, which is good for the planet and your finances. (Check out earthday.com for tips on garment care.)  When it’s time for a closet cleanse, donate gently used items to a local charity or sell items in good condition with potential resale value on sites like The ReaReal, eBay, Poshmark and ThredUp. (The RealReal, in particular, has helped keep over 31 million items in circulation since its inception in 2011.)

Another idea? Don’t be afraid to get creative — whether that means turning your old jeans or T-shirts into a homespun tote bag or patchwork quilt, the possibilities are endless. For more ideas, visit upcyclemystuff.com.

Jenna Ortega’s Makeup Artist on How to Get Her Swoon-Worthy Eye Makeup

Look no further for glam inspiration for your next night out: Jenna Ortega’s beauty look at the Death of a Unicorn screening in New York City on March 11 holds the answers.

The striking yet subtly glitzy eye makeup shut down the red carpet. So naturally, we just had to get the scoop from the mastermind behind it all, Vincent Oquendo. In an exclusive conversation with Us Weekly, he broke it down step by step with the exact products he used on the actress.

“When I showed Jenna the combination of the black eyeliner with the sparkle on top, she felt like it looked like the skin of the unicorn from the film and got instantly excited,” the celebrity makeup artist told Us of the inspiration behind the aesthetic.

The moody-slash-glamorous vibes — which Oquendo described as “East Village punk meets a unicorn” — are surprisingly not that complicated to achieve. “I am a huge fan of negative space, so there are some parts of the eye makeup that don’t have anything but the natural skin tone,” Oquendo pointed out.

To create the “double-winged eyeliner” look, the pro first grabbed Dior’s Diorshow On Stage Crayon in #099 Black. He applied the smudge-proof formula along the upper lash line and drew a classic winged eyeliner. Then, he glided the pencil along the bottom lash line to create another “double” winged effect.

As her reminded Us: Don’t forget to apply it along the bottom waterline, as he did for Ortega. “It’s the perfect way to create a punk-inspired look that is universally flattering on almost any eye shape,” Oquendo explained.

Next, he picked up the Diorshow 5 Couleurs in #073 Pied-de-Poule and swept the “sparkly black shade” over the eyeliner, “carving into it” with cotton swabs (specifically, the kind that have thin, precise tips). Layering the eye shadow over the black eyeliner added just the right hint of glitz along with that “feathered, yet precise dropped double eyeliner look.” For the grand finale, he emphasized Ortega’s lashes with Dior’s Diorshow Mascara in #090 Black.

Follow in his lead for a simple yet statement-making way to ensure all eyes are on you the next time you want to go all out.

Kylie Jenner and More Top Celeb Scents: ‘I Get So Many Compliments!’

Consider this the perfect excuse to spruce up your scent wardrobe and claim a new signature scent that leaves people asking, Is that you who smells so good?

After browsing the internet for your next best spritz, you’re bound to stumble upon more than one celebrity fragrance, which led Us to think: Why is the celebrity fragrance world so alluring?

We tapped former NYT perfume critic Chandler Burr for an explanation, and the reason is surprisingly simple. People want to “participate in the celebrity’s world,” he said. “You’re putting an intimate thing, a thing they’ve poured themselves into and that they wear on their skin, on your skin.”

So if you’re wondering where to spend your money exactly, the author of The Emperor of Scent and The Perfect Scent shared an easy tip. “Put on the damn perfume a few days in a row and see how it performs,” he quipped. “Forget the price. Forget the celeb or the brand. Just buy the damn perfume.”

Below, a round-up of the latest and greatest celebrity fragrances — from Kylie Jenner‘s highly-anticipated Cosmic 2.0 and Rihanna’s new iteration of Fenty Eau de Parfum, to the legendary bottles that left an unforgettable trail over the years.

Calling all Fenty Eau de Parfum fans! If you thought it couldn't get any better, Rihanna's Fenty Beauty proved otherwise with the release of Fenty Parfum Hair + Body Mist. LVMH master perfumer Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud helped formulate the new, softer iteration of RiRi's iconic spicy spritz. Think: notes of Bulgarian rose, magnolia and musk.

Burr refers to Chanel's debut fragrance Chanel N°5 Parfum — launched in 1921 — as a "celebrity fragrance" since people were "fascinated by [Coco Chanel].” While "99.99 percent of people couldn't afford a Chanel jacket, 99.99 percent of people could afford a bottle of Chanel perfume." (Previous faces of the one-of-a-kind spritz include Gisele Bündchen, Nicole Kidman and Marion Cotillard.)

Released in 1947, Dior's original scent, Dior Miss Dior Parfum, was considered another "celebrity" perfume according to Burr. Why? Well, the public was enchanted with Christian Dior.

How Katie Holmes Perfects Work-to-Weekend Style

Katie Holmes has once again proved she is the supreme queen of effortless street style.

Holmes, 46, was spotted in New York City on Friday, March 7, wearing the perfect work-to-weekend outfit. The sharp yet casual look consisted of an earthy hued textured blazer — that featured slightly exaggerated shoulders — and a breezy button-down shirt underneath that she tucked inside a pair of high-waisted black jeans.

No, it may not be spring quite yet, but her laid-back getup was a happy reminder that the warm-weather months are approaching and that yes, there’s nothing quite like a preppy blazer and sporty shoe combination.

Leave it to Holmes to impeccably style the semi-monochromatic ensemble that radiated quiet luxury. She opted for two of spring’s hottest trends: retro-inspired kicks and a top-handle suede bag in a dark mocha shade (which may or may not have been a nod to Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2025).

Katie Holmes Wears Spring Colors Even in Frigid Temperatures

If the hip trainers seem familiar to you, you’re not alone. The star’s been seen donning Autry’s Medalist Low Sneakers — which boast sleek white leather and beige detailing — on a few different occasions.

But the Our Town cast member’s DeMellier London tote was the cherry on top. We can’t help but swoon over the roomy yet structured silhouette, as oversized bags are indeed having a moment. The rich brown colorway — another buzzy tone this season — also made the creamy, multicolored stunners on her feet tie together from head to toe.

And of course, just as the Dawson’s Creek alum’s wardrobe was flawless, so was her hair and makeup. A youthful, middle part and finger-raked waves that exuded a sexy, slept-in effect enhanced her caramel highlights, while soft, smoky eyeshadow was all she needed to deliver the “wow” factor without overdoing it.

Charli D’Amelio has once again influenced Us — and this time, it has to do with statement belts.

It all started when D’Amelio, 20, was spotted at the Prada Fall 2025 runway show during Milan Fashion Week on Thursday, February 27, and let’s just say the TikTok sensation is continuing to take her personal style to the next level.

The social media star chose a midriff-baring ensemble from the Italian fashion house’s Spring 2025 collection. The two-piece set consisted of an emerald-green Radzimir Strapless Bra Top and a low-slung pleated skirt that was attached to a moto-chic belt.

Of course, the & Juliet ensemble member made the impossible-to-miss outfit appear timeless, effortless and classic. Long, beach-like waves added soft, earthy vibes and helped balance out the overall edgy flair, while minimal jewelry kept the attention on the show’s main star — a.k.a. her belt — which just so happened to accentuate her abs.

The Most Talked-About Looks at Paris Fashion Week Spring 2025

The former Dancing with the Stars champion isn’t the only celebrity who’s recently donned a larger-than-life waist accessory or a midriff-revealing outfit. Caitríona Balfe, 45, also displayed some skin and a chunky wardrobe addition at this year’s Critics’ Choice Awards.

Courtesy of celebrity stylist Karla Welch‘s dressing magic, the Outlander actress arrived in a satin Prada crop top that featured keyhole cutouts at the neckline, a coordinating skirt and a leather belt like D’Amelio.

We’re not surprised that this risqué and bold aesthetic is being flaunted around the globe, as low-rise silhouettes are one of spring’s most coveted trends, along with oversized anything. More is more this season.

Even if you cannot imagine pulling off a daring belt like Balfe and D’Amelio, the accessory is coming back in a big way in 2025, even when styled traditionally. To reap the waist-snatching benefits, consider buckling up.
