If you ask us, the best hairstyles are hairstyles that don’t need a lot of work. You know, the effortless looks that are easy to manage with a comb, maybe a little bit of product and a lot less fuss. While a simple five-minute ponytail is your go-to, it’s not an end-all-be-all lazy-girl answer. Like, what if you want to wear your hair down, but still styled? Enter the deep side part. The devil-may-care style is always alluring and in the latest way we’re seeing the style all over Instagram — super disheveled, maybe brushed and toussled way over — you really don’t need much to achieve it. *This* is what second-day hair goals look like. Easily conquer #selfie-worthy hair without waking up two hours earlier with a simple flip and a lot of attitude. Take a peek at how these Instababes achieve their deep-side parts for some mad hair-flip inspo below.
In case you didn’t get the memo, trailblazing’90s combat boots are back with a vengeance this fall. And for good reason. Bigger, badder, and more influencer-approved than ever, these lug-sole stompers are admired for both their don’t-mess-around appeal and their 24/7 tough-girl prowess. The advantage of being worn with mile-long supermodel legs? Not too shabby either. Scroll through for 16 Instababe-approved ways to rock your trusty Doc Martens — we like mom jeans by day and a floral slip dress by night — like a bona fide street MVP.
1. Go a Little Wild: This punk princess is low-key thriving in her teeny-tiny Matrix-worthy frames, raw-hem leopard print pants, and patent-leather combat boots. Dope AF leather beret to go with, please.

2. Rock the Sweater Tuck: We will forever be a fan of the ubiquitous sweater-half-tuck/heavy-duty-stompers combo. Bonus points for this babe’s denim shorts and teddy bear clutch.
3. Fall Uniform 2.0: Brisk fall days, here we come. Up the style ante — and breathe new life into all your summertime dresses — with some OG Doc Martens (ahem, the Jadon style is our fave) and an oversized nubby knit sweater.
4. Femme Meets Punk: Too femme for comfort? Juxtapose a silk dress and classic khaki trench with platform combat boots for a DGAF ‘tude.

5. Red Haute Entrance: Strut. This boss babe’s right on the money with her sheer polka dot slip dress and coordinating red, not to mention dem boots.

6. FROW-Ready: It’s a lewk, okay? Don’t hesitate to team white lace-up combat boots with a feathery topper for your next GNO.

7. Head Mum in Charge: Um hi, is Chiara Ferragni the dopest mum on the planet or what? Her laid-back uniform (and designer baby stroller) get our vote.
8. Made to Strut: Don’t ask us how, but a ruffled romper somehow looks 10 times more fab with combat boots front and center.
9. Mom Jeans FTW: Betcha never in a million years saw this #OOTD in the feed?! Team your combat boots with cuffed mom jeans and a silk bomber jacket for a subversive edge.
10. Model Off-Duty: Taking style cues from Hailey Baldwin, we see. When in doubt, a thrifted denim jacket, a hands-free belt bag, and denim cutoffs will 100 percent fit the bill.
11. Daytime Glamour: Black tie-appropriate attire officially includes a tie-shoulder smocked dress (THAT slit) and GI Jane-approved combat boots. TBH, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
12. Dial it Down: Rule #1: Don’t try too hard. Between her messy top knot, circle-shaped raffia bag, mixed-print dress, and thick-soled boots, this cutie nails effortless dressing.
13. Slay in a LWD: The flounce! The femininity! A dose of masculinity à la the boot du jour is exactly what the doc ordered.
View this post on InstagramA post shared by Kamara Williams (@inthing_) on
14. Make a Statement: Girllll, respect is earned. This HBIC (head babe in charge) is working it in her girl power tee and distressed denim mini.
15. Test-Drive a Summer Suit: All hail the summer co-ord. For an unexpected mash-up — in the boardroom or elsewhere — ditch the power heels for a “ten-hut!” pose and a sophisticated blazer pairing that would do LaParisienne proud.
View this post on InstagramA post shared by ANDY TORRES (@stylescrapbook) on
16. Mad for Plaid: Cher Horowitz-inspired plaid and a midriff-baring top? As if we would miss the opportunity to bring these beloved ’90s classics (Dr. Martens included) into fall ’18.

There are a lot of celebrity couples we love (Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce! Katy Perry & Orlando Bloom!), but if you ask me, nobody handles having a relationship in the spotlight like Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. This hilarious duo protects their kids, but they're also always down for a good time.
The couple first met in 2010 while filming Green Lantern, which has quickly become regarded as Ryan Reynolds' worst movie (the actor said he'd "genuinely rather watch just a f—ing 24-hour marathon of PAW Patrol). But, in addition to the fact I didn't think the movie was all that bad, it also gave the world the gift of Ryan & Blake's relationship. The couple quickly fell in love, tying the knot in 2010. Since then, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have had four children (James, Inez, Betty, and Olin), launched a variety of brands like Betty Buzz, Aviation Gin, and Blake Brown Beauty, and given Hollywood some of its most iconic movies — all while supporting and praising one another. Keep reading for their full relationship timeline.

How did Blake and Ryan meet?2010 — Blake Lively And Ryan Reynolds Meet While Filming Green Lantern
"We were buddies for a long time, which I think is the best way to have a relationship, to start as friends," Ryan Reynolds said in an interview with SiriusXM's Entertainment Weekly Radio in 2016. "About a year after Green Lantern had come and gone and we were both single, we went on a double date — she was on a date with another guy, and I was on a date with another girl — and it was like the most awkward date for the respective parties because we were just like fireworks coming across."
Their relationship quickly evolved to the one we know and love today!

"Something funny or emotional that one of us said."

"Our wedding was becoming a disaster, and we didn't know what to do, so we called Martha!" BlakeLively told Vogue in 2014. "She said, 'Don't worry. I'll handle it.' She sent her team down to save us."
The wedding took place at Boone Hall Plantation, a former slave plantation in South Carolina, a location the couple is "unreservedly sorry for," Reynolds told Fast Company in 2020.

"In 2010, @robliefeld drew an unmasked Lady Deadpool for the first time," she says on Instagram. "@deadpoolmovie wasn’t real. And Rob had no idea I was working with @vancityreynolds. 12 years later I read Rob’s post. A year after that, @deadpoolmovie 3 was filmed. And today it’s in theaters. The universe has such a magical sense of humor sometimes."
Blake Lively & BFF Gigi Hadid also revealed that Ryan Reynolds loves a girls' night, which is information I didn't know I needed.

So his wins, his celebrations are mine and mine are his," Blake told E! News. "The iconic rooftop scene [in It Ends With Us], my husband actually wrote it."
At the New York premiere for the new Blake Lively movie, Blake and Ryan shared a moment that proves they belong together. While heading to talk to People on the carpet, Blake Lively leans over and grabs Ryan Reynolds' butt. And the funniest part is that Ryan doesn't even turn around.
"He didn’t even react because It happens so often," one user jokes in the comments, while another says, "I love the respect that they have for each other - with love! Yes that her man!"

"They were just raving about how good it was."
Bringing Ryan and the kids to the show (which features songs like Britney Spears' "Baby One More Time"), just proves how much Blake knows her family!
October 31, 2024 — Ryan Reynolds Celebrates Eras Tour Date Night With Blake Lively
After attending another Eras Tour show (this time in New Orleans), Ryan Reynolds celebrated the "cultural phenomenon" with a super sweet post. And of course, it includes a super sweet selfie with Blake Lively. Blake went full Reputation with a black tank and snake-like necklace (and plenty of friendship bracelets, of course), while Ryan wore a button down.
"I’ll still be talking about seeing this show in New Orleans [when I'm 95]. Not just because it’s one of the best things I’ve seen/heard/felt," he says on Instagram. "The main reason I’ll never forget this show is because it brings people together in so many ways. And in 2024, (where that feeling is scarce as h—ll) it’s a special and incredibly rare thing. I’ve shot movies in New Orleans most of my career. It’s a special place on a normal day — but this weekend, felt like Super Bowl or Mardi Gras had a baby with music."
"I don’t understand the unimaginable work, care, talent and discipline @taylorswift generates to create an experience like this because I’m not a scientist," he continues. "It’s an athletic event and a collective cultural phenomenon. It’s gigantic but intimate. The only bummer is she can’t be in the audience to experience what everyone else sees and feels. To watch herself up there is something I wish she could know. But that isn’t physically possible and even if it were, you can’t just get tickets last minute."

The movie also stars director John Krasinski, Cailey Fleming, Fiona Shaw, Alan Kim, Liza Colón-Zayas, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Louis Gossett Jr., and Steve Carell.
Blake Lively, Inez, and Olin also had roles in Deadpool & Wolverine as Ladypool, Kidpool, and Babypool. Blake's appearance in the movie had been a fan theory for such a long time, and I was so excited to see it come to life!

Millennial pink, we’ll be sad to see you go, but we’ve found a new hue to spice up our summer wardrobe. Step aside Gen-Z yellow (and millennial orange, for that matter) — lime is here to swoop in and steal the spotlight. Described by Man Repeller as a “variation of green that shuffles somewhere between acid and lime,” the polarizing hue is just getting started with early adopters like Reese Blutstein ‘gramming their latest lewks. Coincidence? We think not. (EvenQueen Elizabeth II tried it out in a neon-bright Stewart Parvin coat and Rachel Trevor hat during a recent engagement.) Should you fully commit to a head-to-toe Gumby green ensemble or opt for just a pinch of the buzzy color, scroll through to see how these 16 Instababes are going green.
1. Green With Envy: This blogger babe’s all-green-err’thang aesthetic is inspiring us to dress (err, color) outside the lines this summer.
2. Flouncy Summatime Ruffles: What heat index?! Color enthusiast Monling Lee slays the #OOTD game with her flouncy fluorescent green co-ord and futuristic sunnies.

3. Business Green:The styling here — a Maryam Nassir Zadeh gingham mini layered over an iridescent blouse — is sheer delight if we do say so ourselves.
4. Minty Fresh: It was mint to be. Instagram sensation Reese Blutstein is the epitome of cool with her oversized mint-hued sweater and spearmint skirt.
5. Punchy Floral: Work hard, play harder, ‘cuz it’s G&T o’clock somewhere. This summer-approved floral set (pajama-esque dressing FTW!) will have you channeling sunshine at first outing.

6. Epic Color-Blocking: A true classic — like Kelly Green — will never steer you wrong, especially when juxtaposed with equally sunny hues.
7. Go Monochrome: There’s nothing more compelling than a green-on-green — pistachio on lime — coordinated ensemble, amirite? This Instababe’s kicky white ankle boots may be the real style MVP.

8. Pastel Perfection: When in Rome, a vintage sun-drenched green suit will more than suffice for an afternoon spent playing tourist, give or take some white high-top kicks and a stylin’ AF sidekick.
9. Unintentional Matching: We can’t decide what we love more: the clear PVC wedges or her springy green bodycon dress and slouchy carryall.
10. Green Accents: Hey, Leandra Medine, hey. We see you and your sprightly green A-line mini — banana yellow flats front and center (natch).
11. Head-to-Toe (Almost) Green: For biking in style, why not embrace 50 shades of green for a traffic-stopping look?

Listen up, chefs: we thought Jeremy Allen White was officially off the market after months of dating the iconic Spanish pop star, Rosalía, but it looks like they're no longer an item! Jeremy was just spotted kissing one of this co-stars from The Bear, bringing their on-screen romance to real life.

Jeremy's on-screen romance turned IRL.
Photos of Jeremy and co-star Molly Gordon (who plays his love interest, Claire, in The Bear) obtained by People show things heating up between the two. The duo had their arms wrapped around each other as they embraced for a kiss. This is the first time we've seen them both linked romantically, and we're honestly shocked and left wondering what happened with Rosalía, who he was going steady with in fall 2023.
October 25, 2024: Jeremy Allen White & Molly Gordon Spark More Rumors
A month after Jeremy Allen White and Molly Gordon were seen locking lips in Los Angeles, Peoplesnagged more photos of the two as they enjoyed a nice walk in NYC. They look cozy in their casual fall outfits — complete with matching burgundy hats — and were all smiles. They've yet to confirm anything though, but they have all the makings of a budding romance that could be serious!
October 31, 2024: Jeremy Allen White & Molly Gordon Are Taking It Slow
And on Halloween, we learned just how much Jeremy and Molly are enjoying taking it slow with their relationship. "Jeremy and Molly have been seeing each other quietly for a few months and are happy together," a source told ET. “They are enjoying their relationship, but also trying to keep it private. They don’t like attention surrounding their personal lives and it has been an adjustment for Molly."
Scroll on for a deeper look into all of Jeremy's recent romantic escapades!
Jeremy Allen White's Steamy Dating History
First, there were the Jeremy Allen White and Selena Gomez dating rumors.
An anonymous submission to DeuxMoi at the beginning of July 2023 set off speculation that the two A-listers were “in touch.” The tip noted that Selena and Jeremy had allegedly met at a Vanity Fair cover shoot and hit it off ever since.
The gossip was neither proved wrong *or* right, though in hindsight, it didn’t hold up too strongly. Not long after rumors began circulating, the Haim sisters posted on Instagram about "single summer," picturing Selena alongside a Taylor Swift-backed girl gang.
Then, a big PDA fest with Ashley Moore.
Things were steaming up on the streets of Los Angeles when Jeremy Allen White was spotted engaging in some serious PDA with model and actress, Ashley Moore in August 2023. How they met is a total mystery, but seeing them together via paparazzi pictures was jaw-dropping – especially considering Mr. White was seen with his estranged wife and kids the week prior. Yikes!
Next, Jeremy publicly thirsting over Alexa Demie.
He’s at it again! In August 2023, Jeremy Allen White scrolled past a video highlighting Alexa Demie’s new campaign with Calvin Klein and did what any fan would do – he left a comment (though minimal): “Wow.”
To publicly show his affection (or rather, attraction) via Instagram is a whole thing in itself. King.

In fall 2023, Jeremy Allen White and Rosalía were going steady.
“Rosalía and Jeremy Allen White have recently started dating,” a source told Us Weekly in November 2023. “They started out as just friends, but things have turned romantic recently.”
Alexa, play "That Should Be Me" by Justin Bieber!
The duo had been sighted side-by-side a few times. TMZ shared photos of them together at a late-October 2023 farmer's market and even sharing a smoke break in a parking lot. Romantic!
That budding romance came after what we call White’s hot boy summer – he was out and about on the streets of Los Angeles amidst his separation from actress Addison Timlin. Throughout their divorce, White was rumored to be involved with Selena Gomez, thirsting over Alexa Demi on Instagram, and was publicly spotted smooching Ashley Moore.
Kevin Winter / Getty Images
Despite all of this, Jeremy was spotted being friendly with his divorced ex.
In what TMZ was calling "the friendliest divorce ever," Jeremy Allen White and his now-ex Addison Timlin had been seen doing family activities together amid his romantic antics. The pair shares two young daughters, which is likely why they're still seeing each other from time to time. Where Jeremy's head is, we can't say for sure, but we do know he's out there acting young, wild, and free.
