The '90s called to let everyone know we're finally getting a sequel to Clueless, but we won't be reliving 97 minutes of nostalgia. Rather, a series is being developed right now and we've got all the details about it! I, for one, am ready to see Cher Horowitz and crew all grown up because the original movie's ending alluded to their bright futures.

Scroll to find out what to expect from the Clueless TV series, plus revisit the scene that made me fall in love with playing dress up!

Is there going to be a Clueless 2?

Yes! Variety announced Peacock is developing the Clueless sequel series yesterday. We can already hear Cher saying "Whatever" to someone who's doing something annoying.

Which cast members will be in Clueless 2?

As of now, Alicia Silverstone's return as Cher Horowitz is the only cast information that's been publicized (via Variety). We'd love to see Paul Rudd return as Josh and Stacey Dash as Dionne Davenport!

What is Clueless 2 about? 

The plot's details are still TBA (to be announced), but Variety is convinced the Clueless sequel series will pick up after the events of the movie.

Who's producing and writing the script for Clueless 2? 

Writers Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage and Jordan Weiss are hard at work on the Clueless script. Alicia Silverstone is also an executive producer alongside Amy Heckerling, writer and director of the OG film, and producer Robert Lawrence (via Variety).

Knowing the names who made the iconic film what it is makes me feel relieved the series will be the one fans of the cult classic deserve!

My Favorite Clueless Scene

I was 100% convinced I'd be able to wear computer generated outfits which probably explains my love for the now defunct Polyvore. It was a collage sight that became home for those who loved creating virtual style mood boards and I like to think Cher Horowitz inspired it.

This summer, let your style superpower be nothing other than a cool pair of sneakers. Seriously – though this concept sounds fairly simple, it’s all you need to complete your most confidence-inspiring looks. This reigns especially true if you’re stepping into one (or a few) of these 5 iconic summer sneaker trends. Summer 2025’s sneaks are undeniably drenched in retro vibes, but many of the hottest silhouettes still range from classic to more-experimental. This means there’s a pair out there for any kind of personal style!

From playful pastel hues to ballet sneakers that’ll make you want to ditch your go-to sandals, these are the summer sneaker trends every shoe lover will be wearing in 2025.

1. Oh-So Retro Runners

Vans

Vans Super Lowpro Shoe

Retro, running-inspired sneakers don't have to stop at the expected Sambas – there are tons of sporty styles that go beyond what everyone's wearing nowadays.

Take the Vans Super Lowpro sneakers for instance: they've got a similar streamlined low profile, a lightweight feel, plus that signature side stripe for added flair. They're also ideal for summertime's warmer temps since they wear oh-so comfortably.

Alohas

Alohas Tb.69 Rife Sheen Taupe Vegan Sneakers

Undeniably athletic (thanks to the cleat-esque rubber soles), this pair of Alohas sneakers is another fave for us when it comes to retro runners. The satin-y material definitely elevates them to be more fashion-forward than solely practical, which can be helpful if you want a summer sneaker to rock across both casual for more-formal 'fits.

2. Smooth, Sleek Suede Sneakers

Anthropologie

Puma Speedcat OG Sneakers

It feels like almost every fashion "it" girl has been spotted in Puma Speedcats this year. They obviously embrace the ever-trendy sporty style, but their suede construction makes them perfect for dressing up with slacks, maxi skirts, or mini dresses.

Larroudé

Larroudé Stella Sneakers

To take this summer sneaker trend a step further, go bold with a fun color! This pair's contrasting laces also add to their eye-catching effect.

3. Huge On Pastel Hues

Merrell

Merrell Moab 3

Pastels aren't just for springtime. This year, they'll be worn well into the summer for a subtle wash of color! Any shades, from greens and blues to purples and pinks, evoke a sense of calm and optimism with every wear, which is never a bad idea for whatever look you're trying to pull.

Since the gorpcore aesthetic shows no signs of slowing down, we're hooked on these hiking shoes from Merrell for the upcoming season.

Veja

Veja Volley Suede Sneakers

While most of the sporty sneaks on the market right now draw inspiration from the soccer field, these purple cuties spawn from the volleyball court. They're quite simple in shape, so the pastel purple hue is where they really shine, especially to channel that lively summertime energy!

4. Sporty Ballet Sneakers

Zara

Zara Patent Double Strap Ballet Flats

Ballet sneakers are essentially a hybrid between ballet flats and sneakers. We love this sneaker trend because it's yet another direct display of the how the sports world is influencing fashion right now – we can't get enough!

This shiny red pair from Zara exudes sporty vibes not only from the classic ballet flat silhouette, but from the playful seaming around the shoe.

Anthropologie

Jeffrey Campbell Regimen Ballet Sneakers

With an even more apparent ballet-inspired design (hello, laces!), these sneaks work wonderfully with feminine-leaning 'fits – think frilly white mini dresses for style contrast or basic black mini skirts paired with easy tees.

5. Shiny Silver Sneaks

Gola

Gola Classics Torpedo Glimmer Sneakers

Metallic silver sneakers are the way to go if you wish your shoe game to be nothing but attention-grabbing. Fitted with a reflective effect, these Gola sneakers are easy yet oh-so fun to incorporate into summer outfits, especially if your ensemble's more color-forward.

Adidas

Adidas Taekwondo Shoes

These sliver Taekwondo-inspired babies boast a cracked leather material for added visual interest, if the smoother feel isn't quite your vibe. Plus, you reap the benefits of street cred when you wear 'em, since they've got the signature Adidas side stripes! We also highly adore the laceless design of these, which makes getting ready in those hotter summer temps easy-peasy.

Ryan Gosling has already stepped foot in Barbieland and proved his chops as an action star in The Fall Guy, and soon he's taking on outer space. (And no I'm not talking about a Blue Origin space flight). Ryan Gosling is joining the Star Wars universe! His new movie is being directed by Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy and it's going to be one heck of an intergalactic adventure.

Here's everything we know about Ryan Gosling's Star Wars: Starfighter, coming to theaters May 28, 2027.

Is Ryan Gosling going to be in Star Wars?

Yes, Ryan Gosling is going to lead a brand new Star Wars movie called Star Wars: Starfighter.

The movie was announced at the Star Wars Celebration in Tokyo, and both Ryan and Shawn showed up IRL! The Fall Guy proved he has what it takes to maintain that cool-guy vibe (just like Han Solo honestly), and I hope Starfighter has the same urban sci-fi adventure I love to see in Star Wars.

Where can I watch Star Wars: Starfighter?

Star Wars: Starfighter is coming to theaters May 28, 2027.

The movie's coming just after Avengers: Secret Wars, but it's not the next time Marvel and Star Wars could duke it out in the box office. Avengers: Doomsday is coming to theaters May 1, 2026, ahead of The Mandalorian & Grogu, which premieres May 22, 2026. Yes. That's a lot of Pedro Pascal, thank goodness.

What is the Star Wars Starfighter movie?

Star Wars: Starfighter is a brand new Star Wars movie that's set apart from any of the trilogies we've seen so far (although it looks like it's part of a brand new trilogy!). The movie is a "standalone adventure taking place approximately five years after the events of 2019's Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker."

But even though the final movie ended on a peaceful note, Ryan Gosling's character is sure to be in for some kind of crazy adventure. "This is the perfect place to start this journey for us, because it's such an incredible reminder of why we're going to make this movie and who we're going to make this movie for," Ryan said at the Star Wars Celebration (via Entertainment Weekly). "[The] script is just so good. It has such a great story with great and original characters."

"This is a standalone. It's not a prequel, not a sequel. It's a new adventure," Shawn added. "It's set in a period of time that we haven’t seen explored yet."

When is Starfighter filming?


Filming for the movie is scheduled to begin the fall of 2025.

What is a Starfighter?

A starfighter in Star Wars is a small but armed starship used in battle.

As my family’s resident charcuterie master (shamelessly elated with that title), I’ve made so many boards in my day. Aside from the standard lineup of grapes, strawberries, cucumbers, and baby carrots, no other grocer’s selection of meats, cheeses, crackers, jams, and other goodies is as great as Trader Joe’s (in my humble opinion).

I practically sprint to TJ’s if I've been delegated the sensational task of setting up the snack board for a family gathering or game night with friends. Many of their charcuterie-ready picks are super affordable (but still luxe in quality) and there are endless combos you can craft depending on your fave flavors.

These 10 Trader Joe’s finds are the ones I always include in my charcuterie spreads since numerous tasting opportunities have proven they’re not to be missed. This list spans across savory and sweet options, too, so you’re not missing out on the whole flavor spectrum!

Scroll on for my top 10 Trader Joe’s charcuterie products worth adding to your next platter!

Trader Joe's

Spicy Uncured Charcuterie Collection

A good charcuterie always starts with the meat, and Trader Joe's is stocked with plenty of options. This premium $9 spicy trio is insanely tasty, provides you with a nice variety, plus, they make really stunning meat roses.

Trader Joe's

Salame di Parma Mild Salami

I'll also always typically grab a second option for meat, and that second grab tends to be salami since it's super salty and easy to eat with crackers and bits of cheese in the same bite. This $6 pack is described as "well-balanced" and "mild" so everyone will enjoy snacking on the slices.

Trader Joe's

Double Cream Brie

Brie is where it's at, and it gets even better when you whip up a simple baked brie to pair with the rest of your charcuterie goodies. To make mine, I'll snag this $8.49 block, chop it up and put it in a ramekin, and bake it at a high temp until it's nice and bubbly. It makes the perfect snack to dip crackers in, plus you can easily elevate it with two of my favorite add-ins below...

Trader Joe's

Spicy Honey Sauce

Yup – hot honey supremacy! Drizzling a bit of this on top of my baked brie truly changes everything. Both the sweet and spicy components of this $5 bottle pair wonderfully with brie – you'll be addicted once you try it, I promise.

Trader Joe's

Fig Butter

This $3 fig butter also goes absolutely nuts when you use it as a baked brie topper. It's super simple and subtly sweet. If you love complex, elevated flavors, you've gotta try this pick. It also works well on toasts, sammies, and even burgers!

Trader Joe's

Fig & Olive Crisps

Out of the literal millions of crackers Trader Joe's has to offer, I think these $4 babies are the best money can buy. Each bite is infused with flax, sesame, and sunflower seeds for a yummy crunch, plus, they're made with figs and olives that provide a delectable salty-sweet balance. What I like most about 'em is they have great structural integrity, so they don't break when you use them for dipping or layering between meats and cheeses.

Trader Joe's

Prosciutto Wrapped Fresh Mozzarella Cheese

This $5 snack has the best of both worlds, so it could be a good grab if you want to set up a snack board quickly without spending over $15 on a full suite of meats and cheeses. They're definitely easy to inhale because they're flavorful as ever!

Trader Joe's

Garlic & Jalapeño Stuffed Olives

I could go on and on and on and on about these stuffed olives. They're insane. A jar doesn't ever last long in my fridge. Each plump bite is packed with slivers of garlic and jalapeño, though they're not overly spicy. The brine balances everything out wonderfully. I like to serve these in a tiny bowl on top of my charcuterie boards and eat 'em up!

Trader Joe's

Ciabatta Demi-Baguette

This bread is a must if you're looking to made a baked brie with your charcuterie board: slice it up, toast the pieces for a bit, and you have the perfect vessel for a spoonful of melty brie paired with either the hot honey or fig jam. I tend to buy this "demi" size because I often enjoy my charcuterie boards with one or two other people, but TJ's also sells full-size baguettes to feed bigger crowds!

Trader Joe's

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

These PB cups easily rank in my top 10 favorite Trader Joe's products of all time. Encased in decadent dark chocolate, these bites also hold plenty of creamy peanut butter for a timeless treat – especially one you'll want to unwrap after chowing down on charcuterie!
