Whether it’s innate instinct or constantly hanging around fashion professionals or a combo of both, we’re not sure. All we know is that these are the ladies you should be following who’ve got major style chops — even when the cameras have stopped rolling.

Blake Lively Got "The Best Compliment Of My Life" And It Proves She's THE Girls' Girl

Blake Lively's known for many things — her illustrious career (come on, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants), her hilarious husband, her gorgeous kids — but I love how much value she places on her female friendships. She's a well-known Taylor Swift bestie, but she's no clout chaser. Blake values — and seemingly adds value to — all her beautiful friendships with other women.

And while I could gush about that all day, she recently solidified this admirable character trait in an Instagram post. Keep reading to see what miss Serena van der Woodsen herself had to say!

www.instagram.com

The iconic actress wrote that she recently got "maybe the best compliment" of her life. She explained that someone called her a "crown straightener," or "A woman going around straightening all the women’s crowns around her."

As a queen herself, it's clear this was incredibly impactful. Blake wrote, "It meant so much to me because it’s those invisible things people see that make us all feel best. I learned that we’re all sparkling leaders 👑, stronger together, from ALL the women in my life, blood and chosen. I am surrounded by crown straighteners. This weekend alone was packed with that empowering female energy. When I looked back at these pics, I saw it all in action. And it made me feel so lucky and loved."

She continued celebrating the women around her in the caption, shouting out It Ends With Usauthor Colleen Hoover, novelist Tarryn Fisher, her mother-in-law Tammy Stewart Reynolds, and more! She even managed to shoutout the men "who show up for us too." It's clear that Blake was feeling — and sharing — the love!

Friends and fans alike took notice of this moment, sharing love and comments galore. Fellow actress, Mary Steenburgen wrote, "People who know you know that your extraordinary exterior doesn't even compare to your kind, generous and hilarious soul." I may not actually know Blake, but that's all I really need to know to understand the kind of friend she really is!

Millie Bobby Brown's Instagram Gives A Lesson In Self-Love By Going Unfiltered

In a world full of eerily real-looking TikTok filters showing us what we could look like if only, authenticity shines like a beacon of hope. Millie Bobby Brown, the actress celebrated for her role in Stranger Things, recently lit up our Instagram feeds with a powerful message that resonated far beyond her 63.5 million followers. In a refreshing moment of transparency, Millie shared two photos that left us inspired and snapping our fingers in awe of her realness.

Image via @milliebobbybrown / Instagram

The post, shared yesterday, began with a captivating image of Millie Bobby Brown, looking like the Hollywood superstar she is, donning natural glam makeup. Her flawless skin, sparkling eyes, and radiant smize were a sight to behold. But this was just the beginning of her message to the world.

Scrolling left, we were met with a bare-faced Millie, sporting a patch of blemishes. Gone were the filters, the photo editing, and the retouching. Here was the real Millie, looking ethereal– embracing her “imperfections” with grace and confidence. Standing before a global audience of millions and essentially saying, “Here I am,” is a brave feat, but her comments were flooded by celebrities and fans alike shilling out rounds of applause.

Image via @milliebobbybrown / Instagram

Millie Bobby Brown’s post is a direct calling card to Gen-Z’s golden standard for authenticity–shining as an example of embracing one’s vulnerability and breaking the mold of society’s evolving yet stringent beauty standards. The young actress courageously stood before her global audience, showcasing that even celebrities have skin that isn’t always camera-ready.

By sharing her unfiltered self with the world, Millie invites us to embrace our own blemishes, be they physical or emotional, and to take pride in our individuality. In a world that often encourages conformity, her post is a valuable lesson in self-love.We are enough just as we are, blemishes and all. It's time we embrace our unfiltered, authentic selves with the same confidence and self-love that Millie has so beautifully exemplified.

15 Perfect Valentine's Day Finds From T.J. Maxx — & They're All Under $30

I thought my love for Target was unmatched...but T.J. Maxx is currently giving it a run for its money. Not only can I find some of the same products in there, but I usually get things on a bargain too. My usual $100+ purchases get slashed in half, whether I have a cart full of home decor or beauty finds — huge win for this girl!

Now that I'm back on a budget, I've been eyeing cute (and inexpensive) things that can aid in my upcoming Valentine's Day plans. Here's what I found at T.J. Maxx!

15 adorable T.J. Maxx Valentine's Day finds that won't mess up your 'slow spending' January goals!

T.J. Maxx Fashion Finds For The Stylish Girl On A Budget

T.J. Maxx

1. Dreamers by Debut Bow Applique Cardigan, $30

If you don't buy this bow cardigan for Valentine's Day, I will. I'm partially in my cute grandma era, so I've been looking for more to add to my closet. Aside from the red color, the pink bows add a 'coquette' vibe to it, which reminds me of one of the fashion trends that stylists say should be on your radar.

T.J. Maxx

2. Linea Donatella Satin Wrapper Robe, $14 (Was $17)

You'll feel like a sultry diva in this satin robe while getting ready for a hot date. It's a nice Barbie pink that has lace-trimmed sleeves and a cute tie to keep your goodies from spilling out.

T.J. Maxx

3. Idem Ditto Short Sleeve Mini Dress, $17

This short sleeve mini dress is perfect for grabbing dinner with your crush or friends because it doesn't give off a super sexy vibe. It's on the shorter side, but it's still an appropriate length for different settings!

T.J. Maxx

4. Le Lis Pff The Shoulder Crossover Bodysuit, $13

You don't have to wear a dress on love day if you don't want to! There's always this crossover bodysuit and a pair of nice jeans you can comfortably wear.

P.S. Add a pair of matching red flats or heels to really lean into the V-Day spirit.

T.J. Maxx

5. Madden Girl Sleeveless Bubble Dress, $17

Planning on going to a V-Day party? Wear this sleeveless bubble dress so that you have the freedom to move the way you want. I do recommend wearing a pair of bike shorts underneath so you don't accidentally flash anyone!

Bargain Beauty Finds For The Hair, Makeup, & Skincare-Obsessed Girl 

T.J. Maxx

6. Foxy Bae Spring Clip Curling Iron, $17

T.J. Maxx is starting off strong with aesthetic beauty products because this cute mauve curling iron looks like it belongs in a feminine bathroom. Do you or I need another styling tool in 2025? Probably not, but you won't feel bad about the $17 price tag if you do decide to add it to your counter.

T.J. Maxx

7. Cala 8pc Hair Setting Clips, $6

Psst — you need hair clips to help set the curls you created with your new pink curling iron! They're work on every hair type and don't leave weird creases in your hair like some can. They're also great to use when you're doing your skincare or makeup routine!

T.J. Maxx

8. Studio Dry Satin Pillowcase, $7

When nighttime falls, you need a satin pillowcase to lay your head on. It helps reduce friction and frizz that can be caused by cotton pillowcases, plus it keeps moisture in your hair. I always buy every few months so that I can rotate them.

T.J. Maxx

9. Cala 12pc Cosmetic Powder Puffs, $8

If you're a setting or pressed powder girl, you need flat puffs to lock them into your makeup. I've noticed that using one helps create a smoother base, making my makeup look airbrushed. Even if it's not the look you're going for, a puff helps minimize the mess of using loose powders down.

T.J. Maxx

10. Le Monde Gourmand 1oz Rose Riche Eau De Parfum, $13

I love fragrances as much as the next person, but sometimes I don't have $60+ to drop on a new perfume. If you're looking for something that smells good and won't interfere with your grocery store cash, this Eau de Parfum will make you smell like a million bucks.

It has notes of Madagascar vanilla, cedar, and bergamot for a feminine scent that'll make your Valentine's Day date want to cuddle all night.

Bargain Home Finds For The Girl Who Loves Dopamine Decor

T.J. Maxx

11. Hearts And Kisses Set Of 2 Heart Shaped Dessert Dishes, $10

After you've cooked you and your spouse's favorite meal, dish something sweet and savory in these heart shaped bowls. They're perfect for the love bird energy that's sure to be coursing through your veins!

T.J. Maxx

12. Enchante 5x7 Beveled Glass Picture Frame, $10

Place your favorite picture of you and your gal pals in this gold frame as a reminder of why you have the best crew ever. Make sure it's on full display during your Galentine's get-together so you can reminisce about what happened when the picture was taken!

T.J. Maxx

13. Cupcakes And Cashmere Striped Tufted Hearts Throw Blanket, $25

Curl up with this tufted hearts blanket and a good romance book any day of the week. It'll be a nice addition to your living room if you don't want to spend a ton of money changing your decor every holiday.

T.J. Maxx

14. Shabby Chic 4pk Ruffle Heart Placemats, $13

Bridgertonfans will love these ruffle heart placemats! You get four in a pack which is great if you're having an intimate dinner party with close friends. As far as I'm concerned, you never need a reason to eat good food with friends and laugh.

T.J. Maxx

15. Made In India Large 2 Tier Bling Heart Server, $17

You'll always have a reason to bake tasty desserts once you get your hands on this heart serving tray. It has two tiers for all manners of macaroons, cake pops, and cookies topped off with a cute blinged-out heart at the top.
