12 Unexpected Lululemon Finds You’ll Rewear All Fall

lululemon fall finds

Lululemon is full of surprises right now. While I was expecting their site to be packed to the brim with tight-fitting leggings and sports bras (don't worry, fans – there are still plenty of those), I found tons of cozy styles that don't really even read as atheleisure. From merino wool cardigans to tailored trousers, Lulu's elevated fall lineup just became one of my must-shop collections for the season. Below, find 12 unexpected Lululemon fall pieces you'll be head-over-heels for enough to keep 'em in your daily rotation.

Lululemon

Softstreme Voluminous-Sleeve Pullover

With a unique bubble hem and extremely oversized sleeves, this pullover sweater is the epitome of comfort. To amp up the coziness, the "peach-fuzz soft" fabric feels supremely smooth against the skin. It's undoubtedly a step up from that years-old sweatshirt you've been wearing every day since you got it on vacation (I have one, too – no judgement)!

Lululemon

Wunder Under Nulux High-Rise Tight 25"

Lululemon says the Nulux fabric these leggings are made of offers "lightweight, friction-free coverage for stretches, strides, and rides," so their comfort level opens up a ton of possibilities for everyday wear. The seaming along the legs and waistband is discreetly designed, so this pair won't dig into you or inch down uncomfortably as you move.

Lululemon

Alpaca Wool-Blend Cardigan Sweater

Talk about a surprise find! This not-very-Lulu cardigan boasts a blend of both alpaca and merino wools that grant it its super-soft feel and appealing fuzzy texture. The "extra roomy" fit is perfect for donning this piece on its own or layered atop your favorite tee or tank. The classic button-up design and neutral colorway let you customize your fall looks freely!

Lululemon

Dance Studio Relaxed-Fit Mid-Rise Cargo Pant

These cargo pants are perfectly sporty with plenty of pockets and adjustable ties along the waistband and bottom hem. Lulu's "lighter-than-air" Swift fabric lets you wear these for a multitude of movements: walks, hikes, climbing, biking, dancing, yoga – you name it! And when you're not on-the-go, they still provide your bod utmost comfort with a nice touch of breathability.

Lululemon

Ribbed Merino Wool Cropped Cardigan

This cardi is cut from 100% merino wool, which is gonna keep you warm all fall and winter long. It has a slightly ribbed texture to be ultra-soft to the touch. The cropped length is the ideal match for your fave high-waisted jeans, pants, or leggings!

Lululemon

Reflective Lightweight Running Jacket

I love a practical piece that's equally chic. This running jacket not only boasts a water-repellent feel, reflective fabric, and thumbholes to keep you comfortable on the treadmill or trail, but its eye-catching print is "uniquely placed" so no two jackets look alike. I think it'd wear well with everything from leggings to a black mini skirt!

Lululemon

Scuba Mid-Rise Barrel-Leg Pant 7/8 Length

You've probably heard of barrel jeans by now, but what about barrel sweatpants? Lulu has come out with yet another unexpected find with this pant style. The barrel shape is undeniably trendy, and you get to enjoy the roomy silhouette in a cozy way, thanks to the "plush, fleecy fabric" these are made of! This chocolate brown is perfect for fall dressing.

Lululemon

Relaxed-Fit Cotton-Blend Poplin Button-Down Shirt

This button-down shirt is lightweight, loose-fitting, quick-drying, and sweat-wicking. The cotton-blend fabric allows for maximum breathability, whether you wear this over a black mini dress or biker shorts. This is a pretty timeless piece to invest in since you can pair the stark white color with pretty much any garment depending on the season.

Lululemon

Modal-Blend Pleated High-Rise Trouser

Time to upgrade your worn-out work trousers! Lululemon designed these pants with full comfort in mind – the relaxed material is sweat-wicking and quick-drying. The high waistline is adorned with crisp pleats to make them clean, polished, and totally work-appropriate!

Lululemon

Wundermost Ultra-Soft Nulu Spaghetti-Strap Cami Tank Top

This tank top would make the ultimate everyday under-layer for chilly days. The super-soft fabric and dainty spaghetti straps make it a more tailored version of more common classic designs. I really like that the material it's made of is double layered for added coverage and support!

Lululemon

Align Short-Sleeve Dress

Atheleisure dresses like this one are one of the most comfortable dress styles you can rock year-round. This one's fitted with a high-coverage liner that eliminates the chances of slips! The scooped neckline is met with a diving back that looks super smooth and chic. Layer it with your favorite jean jacket before slipping into some loafers. In addition to this fall-ready deep green, you can shop it in light blue and black.

Lululemon

Adjustable Mini Shoulder Bag

This new Lulu bag is adorable! Fitted with both a shoulder and crossbody strap, you can easily wear it multiple ways depending on your daily vibe. The sleek, water-repellent fabric keeps your look simple and clean, while the countless interior pockets allow you to stay organized wherever you go!

I still remember my first pair of UGG boots. They were the classic mid-calf silhouette in a cute-at-the-time gray color, and I truly wore them out. Thankfully, the fashion zeitgeist has moved way past pairing them with basic black leggings and the ever-adored Victoria’s Secret Pink oversized long sleeve shirt (maybe just me?), but UGG boots still have that certain timeless charm about them – totally staple-worthy and definitely as comfy as can be. Every style symbol from Bella Hadid and Zendaya to Jennifer Lopez has donned the warmth-lined boots at one point or another, awarding them complete icon status.

That’s what I love about UGG boots: no matter who you are (or your level of fame), they look good on everyone. Not to mention, they’re ever-so practical for the winter months. The dense lining that’s become a signature for UGG boots was originally designed for Australian surfers’ feet to keep ‘em warm against the chilling winter waters, but now, they stand up nicely against freezing temperatures in the city and beyond.

To reignite (or simply solidify) your love for the 2010s status symbol-turned 2020s fashion statement boots, here are 8 UGG boots that range from classic to earth-shattering, all begging to become a part of your winter wardrobe.

Nordstrom

UGG Ultra Mini Classic Boot

A shortened version of the OG UGG boots, this style hits around your ankles like some booties would. They're shoppable in 10 different colors at Nordstrom, from subtle neutrals to saturated greens, blues, and pinks. Of course, you'll reap the warming benefits of the wool-rich lining made to feel like genuine shearling.

Nordstrom

UGG Classic Ultra Mini Platform Boot

What this boot takes from the ankle height, it adds to the chunky platform soles. I've been seeing platform UGG boots just about everywhere since they debuted last year, and I love 'em because they give every look a nice boost. Your cold-weather ensemble will also become instantly trend-worthy since these boots are Bella Hadid-approved.

Nordstrom

UGG Ashton Zip Waterproof Boot

If you, like me, have to make it through through snowy, wet winters, classic UGG boots aren't the most practical choice for commuting. The soles on classic styles (like the ones mentioned above) are made of a foamy synthetic material that doesn't necessarily stand up to moisture and ice, whereas the rubber sole on these bad boys is durable and waterproof. Of course, you still get that undeniably recognizable UGG look from the chestnut brown colorway and the little logo stamp on the sides of these boots.

Nordstrom

UGG Classic New Heights Genuine Shearling Cuffable Boot

Okay – I am thoroughly obsessed with these UGG boots. The bold, curvaceous soles remind me of go-go boots you'd find in the '70s, making this style instantly timeless. The tall calf shaft can be worn rolled up for added warmth or cuffed down to reveal the cozy faux-shearling lining, so you essentially get two looks in one unique shoe.

Nordstrom

UGG Classic Ultra Mini Alpine Bootie

Après ski season is swiftly approaching, and I'd argue there's no better shoe to slip into after a day on the slopes than some plush UGG boots. These booties have an especially cozy vibe to them, thanks to the moccasin-inspired stitching along the seams. The shorter height also makes them easier to slip into than traditional calf-grazing UGGs!

UGG

UGG Classic Twin Seam New Heights Boot

These UGG boots don't have to work hard to make a statement – the 3-inch platform heel does most of the talking. The footbed of this style is adorned with UGG's classic, dense lining, while the ankle part is simply suede, making them easy to wear over socks and other wintery layers like tights or leggings.

Nordstrom

UGG Classic Mini Platform Boot

Fitted with the ever-trendy platform soles and a boot shaft that hits a little higher on your calves than the UGG Ultra Minis, these are the style to snag if you want a nice balance of style and practicality this winter. The lining will keep your feet super warm, all while the boosted silhouette of these boots adds unmissable flair.

Jennifer Lawrence announced she's pregnant, and we couldn't be happier for her! Though she and her husband, Cooke Maroney, aren't known for being in the public eye too much, it seems like this is one piece of news they don't mind sharing! Sorry, but we haven't been this excited about baby news since Suki Waterhouse and Robert Pattinson became parents — excuse us while we celebrate!

Here's everything we know about baby number 2 so far.

When did Jennifer Lawrence announce her second pregnancy?

Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images for BFI

Leave it to Vogue to get the exclusive scoop about Jennifer being pregnant again! According to the publication, an official "representative for the actor confirmed" the news yesterday, October 20. So exciting!

When is Jennifer Lawrence's second baby due?

Kevin Mazur

Jennifer Lawrence hasn't announced her due date yet, so we can't be quite sure! However, if she's out of her first trimester, Jennifer could have her baby around April 2025!

What have Jennifer Lawrence and Cooke Maroney said about their family?

John Phillips/Getty Images for Sony Pictures

It seems Jennifer Lawrence and Cooke Maroney were open to the idea of having another baby as recently as this summer! An unknown source told Entertainment Tonight, "Jennifer and Cooke are doing very well and are super in love. They make each other laugh and have the best time parenting together. They would love to have another kid and expand their family."

When was Jennifer Lawrence's first baby born?

Sebastian Reuter/Getty Images for Sony Pictures

Jennifer and Cooke's firstborn son, Cy, was born February 2022, which means he's almost three years old!

The actress later explored her feeling about becoming a mom in another Vogueinterview. "It’s so scary to talk about motherhood. Only because it’s so different for everybody. If I say, It was amazing from the start, some people will think, 'It wasn’t amazing for me at first,' and feel bad. Fortunately I have so many girlfriends who were honest. Who were like, It’s scary," she said.

What has Jennifer Lawrence said about being a mom?

Amy Sussman/Getty Images

It seems like Jennifer found her stride because she's apparently embraced being a mom. She hasn't said anything recently, but she did speak with Entertainment Tonight last year during the promotion of No Hard Feelings about her parenting habits. "Of course, the urge to stop anything from ever hurting or negatively affecting your baby..." she said.

However, co-star Andrew Barth Feldman had nothing but positive words to share about Jennifer as a mom. "Jen is an amazing mother, for real. That was kind of one of the incredible things about doing this with you is seeing just how much of a priority being a mother is for you and how deeply you care about that over everything," he said.

We can't wait to see how Jennifer's second pregnancy develops and hope she's willing to give us a little sneak peek of how she's prepping to have two young kids!

Book adaptations are becoming some of Hollywood’s biggest hits (just take a look at The Idea of You, Killers of the Flower Moon, Tell Me Lies, and more). And we can add another adaptation to our list of most-anticipated 2025 movies. The Electric State trailer has officially dropped, and it’s the perfect watch for sci-fi adventure enthusiasts (and any fans of dystopian fiction, really).

Rated PG-13 for some violence and language, the upcoming film is based on a 2018 book by Simon Stålenhag — it’s even a number one best seller on Amazon. Read on to learn which ultra-famous actors are joining Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt in The Electric State, and the platform that you’ll be able to view it on.


Watch The First 'Electric State' Teaser Trailer

Not only is this new movie for sci-fi fans, but just like MBB's Stranger Things and Chris Pratt's Guardians of the Galaxy, it actually provides a lot of emotion. Millie's character Michelle opens the trailer by telling us everyone lost something after the rebellion: "Robots lost their freedom. Humans lost connection with each other. And I lost everyone I loved."

The Electric State might be set in the 90s but it's a relevant, gripping, and breathtaking story will pull at your heartstrings.

“It’s not the kind of thing that typically gets made to be a blockbuster style movie like this," Chris Pratt said at New York Comic Con, after explaining he had planned to take some time off from acting before reading the script. "It’s so original, it’s a huge swing...I thought that these types of movies might be my last opportunity to be in a big movie like this. I have to look at every opportunity like that. And I did. It’s just such a great story. I was moved to tears reading.”

“It truly takes you on a journey,” Millie Bobby Brown added. “Escapism is huge, and I think it’s so lovely for families to have that moment where they’re able to take themselves out of this world that is so scary and put themselves into a world that is so transformative.”

​What’s The Electric State About?

Netflix

The Electric State Plot

The Electric State is set in the American West in late 1997. Similar to Black Mirror, the United States has fallen victim to a virtual-reality system that leads to a rather high-tech dystopian universe. The story follows an orphaned teenage girl to the edge of the continent while on a mission to find her younger brother. But, she doesn’t do it alone — she’s accompanied by a sidekick, cartoon-looking robot, and a smuggler.

​When and Where Is The Electric State Being Released?

Netflix

The Electric State Release Date

If you're wondering, 'Will The Electric State be on Netflix?' then you're in luck! The Electric State is set to make its Netflix streaming debut on March 14th, 2025 globally.

Which Big Names Are Starring in The Electric State?

Where does The Electric State take place?

Netflix

The Electric State is set in a retro-futuristic version of 1997. Millie Bobby Brown's Michelle and Chris Pratt's Keats set off on a journey to find Michelle's brother which means we're sure to see a few different states and cities throughout the movie.

Is The Electric State appropriate?

Netflix

According to IMDb, the movie is rated PG-13 for"sci-fi violence/action, language and some thematic material."

"They know what is at stake for you personally, and all the work that’s gone into getting there."

Eva also told her Instagram followers in a since-deleted postthat Lost River is the project she's most proud of. "There was one film I'm extra proud to be a part of," she said. "A dark fairy tale. A magical fantasy. To all the struggling single mothers, to all of us in cities that feel like they're burning down or flooding around us, to everyone fighting for the ones they love, this was a good one."

"I never wanted babies before until I fell in love with Ryan, and it kind of worked out to where I was 40 and having my first baby. I think I was 42 for the second one, so it worked out in that way that I had a career and then I change my focus to my family."

Ryan also went on to tell GQ in 2023 that he was in a similar place before meeting Eva. "I wasn’t thinking about kids before I met her, but after I met Eva, I realized that I just didn’t want to have kids without her," he says.

March 26, 2024 — Eva Mendes Says It Was A "No Brainer" To Stay Home With Her Kids

Deciding how to maintain a work-home balance when you have kids is something every parent thinks about, and it turns out that extends to celebs, too! After starring with Ryan Gosling in The Place Beyond The Pines, Eva Mendes decided it was a "no brainer" to stay home with their family since acting can take you all over the world, which the actress revealed in a recent episode of The Today Show. “It was almost just like a non-verbal agreement that it was like, ‘Ok, he’s going to work and I’m going to work, I’m just going to work here,'” she says. She also says she's “so lucky” to “have this time with [their] children.”

“I have never experienced anything like [working with Ryan Gosling]. The way he works, his commitment to his craft, how he wants to make everything as best as it can be, and that means making his co-stars as best as they can be,” she continues. “But unfortunately — or fortunately — there is only one Ryan!"

May 1, 2024 — Ryan Gosling Is The Ultimate Support System For Eva Mendes

Eva Mendes is not here for the mom-shamers. She told People (in honor of its 2024 Beautiful Issue) that staying home to focus on Ryan Gosling and her kids was the "easiest decision I've ever made" because she wanted to be there for their formative childhood years.

"When I was 40, it was a big deal for people when I was pregnant, and it wasn't for me," she says. "And then I was 42 and I was pregnant with my second one and people were like, 'Oh my God, you're going to be so tired. That's why people have kids in their 20s.' I was like, that's the most sorry, asinine thing I've ever heard."

"[Ryan supports me] in all the ways I need to be supported," she continues. "He's got me in all the ways."

"Did you know?! @thefallguymovie is the FIRST non super hero movie to open the summer box office in 17 years!" she says.

The proof is in my post-I don’t usually post pics of my man kissing a babe but Emily Blunt is just that d-mn good in it. THEY’RE that d-mn good in it. Viva el fall guy!"

August 4, 2024 — Eva Mendes And Ryan Gosling Appear At The 2024 Paris Olympics With Their Daughters

Team USA has been winning medals left and right, but Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes' family briefly stole the show yesterday.

The couple and their daughters were spotted watching Suni Lee, Qui Qiyuan, and Kayloa Nemour take score big at the gymnastics uneven bars final. After that, the couple enjoyed the Equestrian Dressage Individual Grand Prix Freestyle event. (via E! News).

The cute photos of them on X show Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes looking totally engrossed in the events they attended, but I can't help but notice how cute they look! Their casual styles complement each other and make me want to ask where they got their sunglasses from.

I don't know if they'll make another appearance in the future so I'm going to cherish how good Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes looked during their rare outing.

October 20, 2024 — Eva Mendes Reveals The One Thing Ryan Gosling Does To Make Her Feel Sexier

In an interview with The Sunday Times, Eva Mendes revealed that Ryan Gosling makes her feel sexier just by "the way my man looks at me."

"At times I’m like, ‘Oh, my God,'" she says. "So much of how I feel is a reflection of what he’s giving me. There’s so many things that can make me feel sexy and I’d say that I feel more sexy than not. I guess because I’ve never considered myself beautiful, but I’ve always felt very sexy.”

While she claims she's never been a "great" actress, she says that working with Ryan gets "something out of me that’s never been accessible before.”

And, apparently, she also helped him bring the ultimate Kenergy to the Barbie movie set. “I would just simplify everything," she says. "I’m like, ‘Just make Barbie notice you, that’s what Ken is all about.’ So then there was this desperation. He really loved that. I’d remind him, as he’s literally walking out the door, ‘Make Barbie notice you, make Barbie fall in love with you.’”

The actress and author also reveals the "extreme" rule they've instated for their kids: no social media or smartphones. “Putting my kid on the internet and being like, ‘Oh, search something,’ that to me is equivalent to telling her, ‘Oh, just go down the street in the middle of the night. You’ll be fine,’” she says. “I know that sounds extreme, but that’s what I feel.”
