11 Reasons Why Harley Viera-Newton Is Our Summer Style Crush

We’re currently a tad (read: majorly) obsessed with British model and DJ Harley Viera-Newton’s fine-tuned style. Not only does she have her own eponymous clothing line, HVN, but she’s got serious fashion chops to boot. Best known for her rotation of ultra-femme short-sleeve day dresses (preferably gingham) that hit just below the knee, Viera-Newton has perfected the art of an everyday uniform. Though don’t be mistaken, this burgeoning It-girl — who joins the ranks of fellow tastemakers Olivia Palermo and Alexa Chung — can even make jeans and a tee look groundbreaking. From outfit inspo for an upcoming exotic getaway to covetable FROW style, we’ve rounded up 11 of our all-time favorite looks that are summertime #goals, plus shoppable options for your delight.

1. She rocks red lace. Bow down to your highness: Viera-Newton stuns in a DDG lace frock that’s worthy of a princess. But where’s her tiara?

Get the Look: Don’t just get dressed to be seen — nah, girl make a scene-stealing entrance like “whoa.” A red haute lace maxi dress will have you channeling your inner flamenco dancer emoji in record time. Brit + Co Pick: Boohoo Lace Open Back Maxi Dress ($62)

2. She elevates gingham. Yes, yes, you CAN pull off gingham without looking like a picnic table. When carefree meets classic, this resort-ready slip dress is the ultra-chic result. (Photo via Michael Stewart/Getty)

Get the Look: A leggy gingham mini dress that’s game for spontaneous picnics in the park, Sunday brunch, and fancy yachting parties? Girlll, you know it. We have a feeling Viera-Newton would be smitten with the timeless fit-and-flare silhouette, especially with a trend-right bamboo bag in tow. Brit + Co Pick: Reformation Lucinda Dress ($198)

3. She makes retro florals feel so RN. Nothing to wear? When you’re Viera-Newton, you can just shop your own namesake line for a new wardrobe. The HVN Morgan dress gets our vote for its retro daisy print, ’40s-inspired silhouette, and nipped-in waist.

Get the Look: Between the short sleeves and demure length, this floral wrap dress is a certified showstopper — just add glam sunnies and open-toed sandals to complete the look. Brit + Co Pick: Farrow Loretta Dress ($72)

4. She loves a rainbow too. The addition of some high-waisted denim shorts and Viera-Newton’s rainbow bikini top is suddenly ready to hit festival grounds. Don’t even get us started about those matching mini purses. We digress.

Get the Look: BTW, you can snag the same Mara Hoffman beach ball print bandeau right here. Hurry though, it won’t be up for grabs for long. Brit + Co Pick: Mara Hoffman Tie Back Bandeau Bikini Top ($115)

5. The woman loves color. Major swoon. And just like that, Viera-Newton wows in a “pretty in pink” ensemble that’s making us seriously rethink our all-black-err’thang uniform.

Get the Look: It may not be millennial pink, but we’ll gladly take it. This hot pink trench calls for a ladylike midi skirt, shoulder duster earrings, and perfectly windswept hair for noteworthy commuter style. Brit + Co Pick: Topshop Washed Trench Coat ($130)

6. She cherry-picks her prints. Cue the squeals: That’s a cherry print dress and matching slides. And yes, we need ’em in our life STAT.

Get the Look: Eek! You had us at cherry-printed blouse that gives off a certain je ne sais quois quality. To be teamed alongside vintage-inspired mom jeans, suede mules, and wavy locks for a non-fussy look. Brit + Co Pick: Free People Cherry Print Blouse ($138)

7. She’s the bomb. Street MVP by day, DJ by night: Here she swaps out one of her beloved printed frocks for a metallic bomber that screams HBIC.

Get the Look: Babetown right this way. You need not be mixing sick beats to channel a little downtown swagger a la the quintessential embroidered bomber. Although, a don’t-mess-with-me ‘tude certainly helps. Brit + Co Pick: BP. Babetown Colorblock Satin Bomber ($59)

8. She’s a fan of florals. An off-duty ensemble this put-together begs us to ask: How does she do it? With a sweet-meets-sassy floral bag, obvi.

Get the Look: Bag swag like Viera-Newton? Don’t mind if we do. This whimsical floral embellished bucket bag is your solution to toting around “just the essentials.” Brit + Co Pick: High Cheeks La La Bucket Bag-Black White ($258)

9. She digs nighttime denim. Another LBD? Not on Viera-Newton’s watch. We love her sophisticated take on an everyday denim dress — the addition of a few key accessories (namely, a quilted Chanel bag and leopard print smoking slippers), and it’s suddenly ready for a cocktail soiree.

Get the Look: Hello, denim bodycon dress with tasteful side cutouts that leave just the right amount to the imagination. Try lace-up espadrilles for a wine tasting in Napa Valley before slipping into a sleek smoking jacket and backless mules come happy hour.

11. She knows the power of pajamas. C’mon and join the pajama party! If this babe can rock printed silk PJs to fashion week like it’s NBD, then you can most certainly sport them to the office. (Photo via Neilson Barnard/Getty)

Get the Look: But not just any old stuffy boardroom suit will do. This pajama-esque floral co-ord strikes the perfect balance between business and pleasure, so you’re not left bummin’ it. Brit + Co Pick: Mango Flowy Shirt ($60) + Flowy Floral Trousers ($60)

Melissa Barrera's Your Monster might be the perfect unconventional Halloween movie, but the actress actually isn't a huge fan of the holiday. "I'm not a big Halloween person," she told me at the movie's New York premiereon October 24. "Weirdly, I haven't dressed up for Halloween in a long time."

The movie follows Melissa's Laura, who gets dumped after a cancer scare, then finds out her ex has cast another woman in the musical she helped him develop. The cherry on top? When she returns to her childhood home for recovery, she finds a monster living in her closet. Like Lisa Frankenstein, Heathers, and other cult classics before it, Your Monster provides an outlet for female rage — and while I have no doubt it was satisfying to make, it feels almost as satisfying to watch. And we can thank the women involved!

"I feel so fortunate that I got to work with all of them in one front," Melissa Barrera says of director Caroline Lindy and costars Kayla Foster and Meghann Fahy a few days after the premiere. "They're so talented and so generous and so lovely and it just kind of felt like working with friends." Despite the fact the group already knew each other, Melissa was welcomed with open arms. "It was such a safe space, you know, it was so safe and unjudgmental and truly collaborative and it was all about propping each other up all the time."

"Even behind the scenes, there were a lot of women too," she says before exclaiming, "Women in film! It's great because also, it's about female rage. It's a story about female rage. So it makes sense that it would be women that have been through this, that understand what it's like, that know what Laura is going through to tell this story."

I loved seeing Melissa reunite with the cast and crew at the premiere, but this isn't the first time she's formed a bond with a costar. After the release of Scream 6 in 2023, videos of Melissa and her onscreen sister Jenna Ortega laughing during the press tour went viral — and considering how much the moment reminded me of my relationship with my own sister, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to ask about it.

"I was so sick during the whole press," she says. "We were laughing because I would start choking on my cough, so it was hilarious — or I would start laughing and it would make me cough and then I couldn't stop. So yeah, we were laughing a lot during that press run because I was sick as a dog."

But a relationship with Jenna, and laughing, weren't the only things Melissa went viral for last year. After posting about the Palestinian and Israeli conflict, Melissa Barrera was fired from Scream. Jenna Ortega left the franchise a few days later, citing scheduling conflicts with Wednesday season 2. Earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival premiere of Your Monster, Melissa revealed how "grateful" she was for the experience because, in the long, run it helped her "finally figure out who I'm supposed to be." And now that we're at a time of year where people are retrospective, she feels even more grounded in herself — because while others are just now reflecting on the year they've had, she's been reflecting since long before January.

"Everybody's kind of like thinking of like, 'What does the future hold? Like, how do we make it better?' And I have been thinking that for a year," she says. "There's people that have actually been on this journey for way longer, and it's them that we should be thanking for our world not being like over with right now, you know? They're the ones that continue to make changes for the better and to fight for better things for all of us."

"I definitely feel like a changed person. I definitely feel like my priorities are completely different than they were a year ago," she continues. "I see the world through different eyes now, I see people through different eyes. I see the industry through different eyes, and I'm so grateful for that. I'm so grateful for everything that I went through, even though it was really hard, I'm so grateful that I lived it and that I survived it, and that I'm stronger for it. And that I know I have a focus of what I wanna keep doing, not just for me and my career, but like, how can I contribute to the industry and to the world to make it better and safer for everyone?"

And Your Monster is a beautiful contribution to the industry. I was really struck by the idea of not only confronting your childhood monsters, but befriending them. "I want people to come out of [Your Monster] having had a good time, a good laugh, and just feeling good," she says. "Because I feel like a lot of times you come out of the theater feeling so heavy because movies are so dark [but] that's what Caroline wants with her films. She wants to make movies where people can feel safe in the movie theater."

"Second, I hope that people catch on to the layers of the story and how deep it actually is, and Laura's journey, and the metaphors for how repressed we are," she continues. "And I keep saying women, but it's not necessarily just women, anybody can feel that way. And this idea of befriending the monster in your closet is such a life hack. Imagine not being scared of the thing that scared you in your childhood anymore! Like how liberating and how beautiful to actually fall in love with it and to make peace with it and then be able to go through life fearless like that. I wish that for everyone. So I hope that it makes people think and that they wanna re-watch because there's every time that you watch this movie there, you'll see more of the genius that Caroline injected in like tiny little details."

And for an actress who went to school for theatre and describes it as her "first love" (not to mention the fact she stunned as Vanessa in 2021's In The Heights), she was more than happy to step back onto the stage...kind of. "It was so fun," she says. "Being able to portray that world so accurately too, we had a lot of actual New York theater people come in and do little one-scene things."

"There are people like [Laura's ex] Jacob out there, there's that nervousness, the tension, the excitement, the anticipation, and it's such a beautiful process," she continues. "I love being able to live vicariously through Laura and live out that dream of the Broadway debut. And I think there's such a stigma against theatre and musicals in film, such, like, a rejection that I don't understand because there used to be a time where every movie was a musical and it was amazing! What happened? But to show another side to it through not full face musical, but a little taste of that in a movie that otherwise is a normal movie, I think for me as a theater nerd, as a musical theater geek, it's great to be able to lure people in and be like, 'Look at this beauty, so cool. Maybe go watch musicals!'"

Celebrity breakups are never fun to hear about (hello, Zoe Kravitz and Channing Tatum 😭), but sometimes they seem to give entertainers a boost of personal and creative inspiration. Case in point — Natalie Portman's divorce has given her an almost femme fatale edge. We last saw her in Lady in the Lake, but she recently stepped out with a new hairstyle that's reframed her face!

What new hairstyle does Natalie Portman have?

On October 28, Natalie Portman turned heads when she stepped onto the red carpet at the 68th Ballon D'Or Ceremony at Theatre Du Chatelet in Paris. She's traded in the long balayage hair she's been wearing for a shorter dark brown bob that rests slightly below her chin. Though the silk press may be in style, Natalie allowed her curls to shine and seemed to wear eye makeup that mirrors her new hair color.

The actress also shared a pictureof herself next to Aitana Bonmatí and a clearer view of her hairstyle is visible. She didn't mention anything about it, opting to keep the focus on Bonmatí's achievement instead. "Hero 🙌 Congratulations Aitana Bonmatí on your Ballon d’Or award! It was such an honor to be there with you and to celebrate all you’ve done for women’s football." her caption says.

Even if Natalie doesn't care to address this new style, we think it's perfect for her!

When did Natalie Portman announce her divorce from Benjamin Millepied?

Prior to getting divorced, sources say Natalie tried her best to reconcile things in her marriage to Benjamin. But, it seems like some things — like infidelity — are hard to move past. "She didn’t give up on [her marriage] lightly. But it became pretty apparent toward the end of last year that her heart had gone out of it," one person told US Weekly. Apparently Natalie started noticing a trend in her ex-husband's behavior prior to his bombshell affair because another source told the outlet that the ballet dancer "would sometimes not return home and was taking work trips that didn’t add up."

This ultimately led Natalie to file for divorce, but it was done "quietly," according to PEOPLE's report in March 2024. Not only that, but the news outlet is reporting that the divorce proceedings are officially over! A source said, "It was initially really tough for her, but her friends rallied around her and helped get her through the worst of it." Natalie's apparently "come out the other side of it stronger and is finding joy in her family, friends and work."

Why did Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied get divorced?

Although Natalie Portman didn't 100% address what happened, fans have long speculated that Benjamin's alleged cheating mishap was the cause of their marriage's demise. Page Six reported the couple were struggling to deal with the ballet dancer's romantic interest in the "glamorous young climate activity Camille Étienne." At the time, a source told the outlet Natalie and Benjamin were trying to hold things together. "They have not split and are trying to work things out. Ben is doing everything he can to get Natalie to forgive him. He loves her and their family."

How long were Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied married?

Natalie Portman and her ex-husband Benjamin Millepied were married for 11 years prior to walking away from "happily ever after," (via People). They also have two children together, Aleph (12) and Amalia (7).

We're always sad when couples breakup, but we love to see that Natalie's moving on with her life and showing that she's willing to embrace something new — like her shorter bob!

Gisele Bündchen is a household name, no matter who her partner is — but it's no secret the supermodel made waves when she split from her football star husband, Tom Brady, in 2022. It's clear she's not holding on to the past, though. After dating Joaquim Valente for the past two years, the couple is officially expecting their first child together! Here's everything we know about Gisele's growing family!

Is Gisele Bündchen pregnant?

Yes! According to PEOPLE, an inside source told the outlet that the 44-year-old supermodel is officially expecting her third child. This is her first baby with current boyfriend, Joaquim Valente. The source said, "Gisele and Joaquim are happy for this new chapter in their life and they're looking forward to creating a peaceful and loving environment for the whole family."

Who is Gisele Bündchen's boyfriend?

Joaquim Valente is a jiu-jitsu professional at his family-owned studio, Valente Brothers. The 34-year-old continues a decades-long tradition of teaching this martial art to future generations — and his girlfriend!

These two have been linked together since 2022, but didn't start officially dating until June 2023 according to PEOPLE. In 2024, a source also told PEOPLE that this wasn't "a serious love affair," but the tides have clearly turned since then.

In March 2024, Gisele The New York Times, “This is the first time I am seeing someone that was a friend of mine first." She then noted, “It’s very different. It is very honest, and it’s very transparent.” She also was quick to deny that there was any overlap with her ex-husband, stressing that these types of rumors happen "to a lot of women" who "have the courage to leave an unhealthy relationship."

As for the most current state of Gisele and Joaquim's relationship? A source told Page Six, “Their chemistry together has always been there and they have a lot in common. They've been in love for a while." That being said, sources also told Page Sixthat they don't think the pair will get married "anytime soon." Despite Gisele being "thrilled" to welcome another child, her friends tell the outlet that the couple will just "live together for now."

Regardless, we're also thrilled for these two, and we hope their new child brings them so much joy!

How many kids does Gisele Bündchen have?

Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady have two children together — Bejamin Rein (14) and Vivian Lake (11). According to Page Six, a source says that these two "really like" Joaquim Valente, as he's been living with them in Miami "for a while." We just know these two will be fabulous siblings to the new little one, given the way they show so much love to their parents!

When did Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady get divorced?

Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady officially divorced in 2022. However, according to Page Six, this all started back in 2020 when Tom wouldn't retire from the NFL — and according to a source from PEOPLE, their problems date back as long as 10 years! Regardless, it's clear Gisele's moved on to a new chapter in her life. Good for her!

Has Tom Brady said anything about Gisele Bündchen's new pregnancy?

Instagram/tombrady

While sources told TMZthat Gisele Bündchen told Tom Brady about her pregnancy before the news broke to the general public, other sources told Page Sixthat he only just found out "very recently" — and apparently, he didn't find out from Gisele. Sources explained to Page Six that the ex-spouses "talk when they have to." So I guess this situation didn't exactly qualify as having to talk...

Tom hasn't made an official statement about Gisele's pregnancy, but he did take to Instagram on October 28. The former football star posted an image of the sunset, three hearts, and The Chicks' cover of "Landslide." The Stevie Nicks original is all about the changes life brings, so Tom's seemingly alluding to the changes coming in his own life.

Whatever happens next, we hope that this modern family navigates this new chapter with grace and love!
