The Top 3 Trending Summer Hair Styles Our Editors Tested With Expert-Approved Products

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. The dog days of summer don’t have to put a damper on a great hair day. All it takes is a refresh of your cache of hair styling tools and products that cater best to humid days — and a new set of styling inspiration that align with 2025’s top hair trends of the season.  In recent fashion runway shows and this past award season’s red carpets, we’ve seen trendsetters and beauty tastemakers opt for effortless-looking hair styles that appear less fussy and slightly undone — think mermaidcore beach waves that veer towards bedhead vs. pristine ringlets. That doesn’t mean a polished hairdo is off the table: For 2025, the bouncy blowout has gotten bigger, with stars like Kaia Gerber and Sabrina Carpenter regularly donning bombshell styles that channel an oh-so-’90s take on Old Hollywood hair. On TikTok, this has led to a “Topanga hair” trend, referencing ...

Bella Hadid Just Debuted Vivaia’s New Sneakerina Drop for Fall 

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. It all started when Bella Hadid was spotted in Vivaia’s cult-favorite, TikTok-viral Cristina Sneakerina twice back in March: during Paris Fashion Week, for which she wore the shoe in black with a turtleneck and straight-leg jeans, followed by the Light Gold style alongside capri pants and a bomber jacket. After the shoe’s public debut (not to mention Charli XCX and Amelia Gray Hamlin’s almost-synchronous endorsements of Vivaia’s ballerina sneaker repertoire), it’s safe to say the sneakerina absolutely exploded in popularity — selling out four times in the span of less than two months and being shopped over 15,000 times since launching in February. But now, a new kid on the Vivaia block deserves your full attention, and it’s the Yancy Jogger Re-Nylon Sneakerina, which Hadid just stepped out in while donning a model-off-duty bralette, Jean Paul Gaultier...

The Enduring Influence of Showgirls: From Josephine Baker to Marilyn Monroe — and Now Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift announced the title and track list of her forthcoming 12th studio album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” on Wednesday. The album art and subsequent photos feature Swift in various sartorial styles and poses evocative of the iconic showgirl. With deep roots in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the showgirl archetype evolved over the course of the last century. The term was coined sometime in the 18th century, but was used more widely in 1800s Paris to describe the performers of various cabarets, including the iconic Moulin Rouge. By 1907, America adopted the showgirl, with The Ziegfeld Follies on Broadway. Filmmaker Busby Berkeley incorporated showgirls into his 1930 films. The showgirl has also become an emblematic symbol of Las Vegas entertainment. From stage and screen, the showgirl became a glamorous symbol in entertainment, often adorned with feathers and dripping in jewels.

Men’s Swimwear Got Shorter and Bolder This Summer

Men’s swimwear has come full circle: what was once the norm in the 1970s has returned to reign in 2025, as men’s swim trunks have shrunk again. Recent data from Speedo reveals that guys are feeling more comfortable in showing off their tights in short-cut trunks and swim briefs this season. The Australian brand, whose name has become synonymous with bathing suits in the U.S., saw a rise in e-commerce sales from June to August with midsingle digits year-over-year, notably driven by its volley swim trunk styles. “Consumers are increasingly choosing shorter volleys over longer board shorts,” Carla McDermott, vice president of merchandising, Speedo Americas, told WWD.

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. We all know the golden rule of a great skin care routine — Always. Wear. Sunscreen. As any dermatologist will tell you, the perfect sunscreen for you is the one you’ll stay loyal to. For those of us who wear makeup on the daily, that means you need one of the best sunscreens to wear under makeup that doesn’t pill, smell, or cause your makeup to melt like Dalí painting by the time the sun goes down. Sunscreens and makeup don’t always play nice together. Some mineral sunscreens cause a white cast that throws off the undertones of your best foundation, while others err on the greasy side, preventing your makeup from staying put all day. A new crop of face sunscreens from established brands like Lancôme to emerging ones like Eighth Day have recently released sunscreens that don’t just layer well under makeup, but work like makeup primers to lock down your...

Copenhagen Fashion Week Girls Declare the Crochet Hat a Summer Wardrobe Essential

Copenhagen Fashion Week started on Monday, and the fashion enthusiasts attending the event have already endorsed a new trend for the summer: the crochet hat. Artfully crafted and nostalgically appealing, the vintage-inspired accessory has its roots in the nightcaps created in the late 1800s and early 1910s to keep women’s curls from getting tangled during the night. Over the decades, the style evolved into embellished skull caps that became part of the 1920s flapper outfit, later being revisited during the bathing cap wave from the 1950s and turned into a statement accessory by pop stars and hippies in the 1970s.

Produce, Polo and Patina: Inside Ralph Lauren’s Intimate Summer Lunch at Mulford Farm

Ralph Lauren knows that visiting Mulford Farm isn’t typically the first stop on the Hamptons summer agenda.

Chanel’s 2.55 Bag Turns 70: How Coco Chanel’s Vision Redefined Handbags Forever

Seventy years ago, Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel introduced what would become one of her brand’s quintessential products: the 2.55 bag. Named after its birth month and year — February 1955 — the style is considered a landmark in fashion history for its innovative design. The 2.55 was regarded as pioneering for incorporating a shoulder strap, a practical feature inspired by soldiers’ bags that allowed women to carry a handbag on their shoulders, freeing their hands to do other things. A feature that is seen as standard nowadays was then unseen in women’s wear, with bags being primarily designed to be carried by hand or as clutches. Model Linda Evangelista in an advanced fitting for the Chanel Fall 1993 couture collection.

With just a few drops, the best ones add warmth, dimension, and a healthy-looking sheen that catches the light in all the right ways. 2025 has brought a fresh wave of options to choose from: L’Occitane, Fenty Beauty, and Patrick Ta have all launched new or reformulated body shimmers, namely in balms and oil-based formulations.

The appeal is easy to understand: they’re the kind of thing you reach for post-shower and pre-event to make skin look instantly better. When done right, the finish is smooth and streak-free and the shimmer refined, never transf...

Brie Larson’s Golden Blond Pixie Haircut Stands Out Amid 2025’s Bob Brigade

Brie Larson’s buzzed haircut grew out into a golden blond pixie ‘do, which she showed off at the “Battlefield 6” video game reveal celebration on Thursday in Los Angeles.

Brie Larson Getty Images for EA Entertainmen Larson, however, isn’t the only star to embrace the pixie cut hairstyle. Emma Stone debuted her pixie cut at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards in January. The actress, who normally sports longer chestnut red hair, likely cut her tresses for her role in frequent collaborator Yorgos Lanthimos’s forthcoming film “Bugonia.” Partially inspired by Mia Farrow’s iconic cut in the horror classic “Rosemary’s Baby,” Stone’s pixie cut, much like Larson’s, serves to frame the face in dramatic ...

Sofia Carson Writes Her Own Hollywood Story

It’s already her third movie in less than a year, but Sofia Carson is just as enthusiastic as ever. “It’s going on 10 years of me doing this, which is unbelievable,” Carson says, from the lobby of the New York Edition Hotel. “And it always feels like the very first time in the best way. I always feel so genuinely excited and grateful, and I feel butterflies anytime I get to see my work on Times Square. It’s all so surreal.” The 32-year-old broke out in the 2015 Disney Channel movie musical “Descendants,” before going on to star in a series of movies for Netflix, including “Feel the Beat,” “Purple Hearts,” “Carry On,” “The Life Life,” and, out Friday, “My Oxford Year.” She’s also been a producer on several of those, positioning her as a new kind of breakout movie star (with a loyal fanbase — over 20 million followers on Instagram — following closely along).  “My mom refers to these moments in my career as catching lightning in a bottle,” Carson says. “‘Descendants’ was that first.

Vans Taps Into the Metallic Shoe Trend With a New Colorway of Its TikTok-Viral Super Lowpro Shoe

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. When Vans first released its Super Lowpro sneaker, it’s safe to say people went wild over one of the brand’s thinnest soles to date. Gone were the thick, vulcanized rubber outsoles of yore — replaced with razor-thin counterparts alongside a low profile and six go-with-everything colorways to start. Now, the brand is taking things up a notch with a premium version of the shoe in a metallic gray hue that’s ready to help you nail one of fall 2025’s biggest trends. The Vans Premium Super Lowpro Shoe in Gun Metal Gray is sleek to the max and inspired by ’80s-era runners (specifically the Vans Serio Style 84), which were low to the ground, streamlined, and statement-making. Besides its undeniable vintage flair, the sneaker is also a very practical investment. Comfort is guaranteed through a padded tongue, an EVA midsole and wedge that provide ample cushioni...

Logan Lerman on ‘Oh, Hi,’ Complex Characters, and Chasing Fresh Challenges

There are a lot of people who want to look at Logan Lerman’s face. The millions of edits dedicated to him on TikTok would suggest as much, as would his casting in Haim’s video for their song “Down to Be Wrong” from earlier this summer — and then, of course, there’s his film career.  Lerman himself is not one of those people.   “I haven’t seen the movie,” he says, sunk into a sofa on a recent afternoon at the end of his New York trip, of his new film “Oh, Hi.” “I don’t know if I should say that or not, because I’m telling people to see it, but I haven’t seen it.” The 33-year-old, who’d rather not watch himself onscreen, does like seeing what other people think of his movies, however.  “I love reading reviews,” he says, a rare admission from an actor these days. “I love hearing people’s reactions.” Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello wool jacket and leather pants; Noah x Peter Anderson cotton tee.

Lucy Liu, Mariska Hargitay Toast Gloria Steinham and Inaugural ‘The Shift’ Issue

Sometimes the most influential person in a room isn’t even in the room at all. On Friday afternoon, guest of honor Gloria Steinem, who is on the cover of the launch print issue of The Shift, was unable to make it downtown in the 95-degree heat to West Village restaurant Le B. But the 91-year-old activist’s presence was threaded throughout the room: on issues of the magazine displayed around the venue, in conversation between guests, and even on the lunch menu. “Anytime that we can be a part of a platform that supports women, and especially creative women, it’s so incredibly important to do,” said chef Angie Mar from the kitchen. Preparations were underway for the first course, a saumon en croute inspired by Lutèce chef André Soltner and in homage to Steinem. “Gloria’s such an icon. What better way is there than to serve an iconic New York dish from an iconic restaurant?” Lunch guests included event cohosts Lucy Liu, Inez van Lamsweerde and Nili Lotan, along with Mariska Hargitay, Abbi ...

I read it and I’m like, ‘oh, I know exactly how I would want to play her,’” Sampaio says. “She has this crazy-eyes-energy and I’m like, ‘oh, I love her already.’ As women, we don’t really get the chance to sometimes be crazy and just be completely out of our mind, so it was fun to tap into that.” Sara Sampaio Dan Doperalski/WWD Sampaio grew up in Porto, Portugal, and has been modeling since she was a tee...
