Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato Reunited at the InStyle Awards and Fans Are So Happy

Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato first met as child actors, becoming not only costars but best friends on the kids’ show Barney & Friends. They’ve grown apart since then, though, and while they still occasionally send social media support to each other, they haven’t spent much time together IRL. That changed on Monday, October 23, when they reunited and were photographed together for the first time in YEARS.

Appearing at the third annual InStyle Awards at the Getty Center in LA on Monday, Gomez and Lovato were all smiles as they posed side-by-side, arms around each other.

It was a reunion a long time in the making. The two young stars have had their ups and downs since starring in Disney’s Princess Protection Program together, both individually and in their friendship. But despite — or more likely, because of — their history together, they still have each other’s backs.

Over the summer, Lovato sent some Twitter love to Gomez and her song “Fetish.” And recently, Gomez reached out on Instagram to praise Lovato following the release of her candid new documentary, Simply Complicated.

“This was beautiful. I’m so happy for you,” Gomez commented on her longtime pal’s page. “You always continue to [be] bold and real. I wish more people were like you. Love you.”

Naturally, fans of the duo were BEYOND excited to see them together again, and many shared their joy with the world.

“WHO IS READY FOR PRINCESS PROTECTION PROGRAM 2,” one excited fan tweeted. And while it’s not likely to happen, we can’t say we hate the idea. Demi and Selena forever!

5 Wild Predictions About Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce We Really Want To Happen

I simply cannot get enough of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. Their adorable romance really does make me feel "So High School" — and I'm not mad about it! These two have already accomplished so much in the short year and a half they've been together, from their romantic trip to Lake Como to celebrating peak moments of their careers together (hello, Super Bowl AND Grammy wins!). Oh, and obviously professing their love for each other on various, various platforms (podcasts, award shows, etc.).

So what haven't Taylor and Travis done yet? And what do we think they'll do next? Well, I'm glad you asked! Here are my top predictions for where and how TayVis can take things to the next level in their relationship.

1. Collaborate On A Project Together

TBH, I wouldn't be surprised if Taylor and Travis collaborate on a project together before anything else. Tay loves to incorporate her favorite people in projects (the Haim sisters in the "Bejeweled" music video never gets old), so we wouldn't be surprised if she includes Travis in the "So Highschool" music video. I can't help but picture how freaking adorable they would be — and he's already proven his performance skills at the Eras Tour this year, so he'll be just great at fitting into her world on camera.

She could even feature Travis in Taylor's Eras Tour documentary that she's probably working on, too. Taylor's never been shy about featuring previous boyfriends in her documentaries before — Joe Alwyn was in Miss Americana , and he wasn't even as open to being out in public with her. Imagine the possibilities with Travis, given how serious their relationship is! Plus, it's clear that Travis seems to be very close with her cast and crew on the tour!

2. Dual In-Feed Instagram Post

Going along with the idea of them working together, I could also see them both promoting their collaborations on Instagram as a dual post. Since they've both been very public and forth-coming about their love for each other, this doesn't seem that unlikely. In fact, Travis has already been featured on Taylor's IG and her Tiktok, which is very new for her! So, we're definitely expecting to see that soon! It would break the internet, for sure...

3. Get Engaged By The New Year

Taylor and Travis are approaching a year and a half together, and it's clear these two are serious about each other. Taylor has been more public and open and free to be herself than any relationship prior — and Travis seems all about it! From their careers to events with their closest friends and family, the two seemed to be completely synced. With that being said, I think an engagement around the New Year is practically imminent!

4. Rule The Super Bowl & Grammys — Again

This is contingent on a handful of different factors, but hear me out! Given the GOAT'ed duo of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce – and the fact that the Kansas City Chiefs are the only undefeated team left in the NFL — I definitely think the Chiefs will make it to the Super Bowl. And with the Super Bowl comes the potential for even more fun with these two! I mean, last year's kiss was pretty monumental!

As for Taylor getting Grammy nominations, her incredible success with The Tortured Poet's Department leads me to believe she'll have no problems there! Call it wishful thinking, but we're hoping to Travis celebrate another Best Album of the Year award with Taylor!

These two really are "the greatest in the league"!

5. Taylor Drops An Album About Travis

We all know (and love) that Taylor really can't go that long without dropping an album — and I'm absolutely positive her next drop will be full of Travis-inspired anthems. They've only been together for a year and a half, and he's already scored multiple songs about him. (Not to mention that also like every surprise song seems to be dedicated straight to him.) Fingers crossed we get more "The Alchemy" and "So High School" vibes soon! I'm guessing we'll get this in Spring 2025, so buckle up!

Hopefully these two finally enjoy a long break together after all this — it's more than well-deserved!

20 Last-Minute Halloween Costume Ideas Perfect For Fashion Lovers

I live in the intersection of loving Halloween and fashion, so this month is my time to shine. Bu with so many fashion icons to dress up as, it's always a bit of a struggle to pick out a costume! Between my undying love for Sex and the City, all the stunning Bridgertonseason 3 looks, and the endless appeal of The Devil Wears Prada, I'm at a serious fashion crossroads. In order to help me narrow down my dilemna, I thought I'd share my top 20 costume contenders with you.

If you're looking for a show-stopping, Anna Wintour-approved Halloween costume, then look no further!!

Carrie Bradshaw

HBO

I have to start with my #1 icon of all time: Carrie Bradshaw. This costume is unbelievably easy, because you just have to take risks, which is what Carrie always does. She's not afraid to show off her body, mix some patterns, or wear loud, bold colors. Just make sure to wear some heels and run leisurely across the street — New York style.

How To Dress Like

13 Going On Thirty

Columbia Pictures

The early 2000's are back and better than ever, so obviously we have to address the 13 Going On 30 of it all. There's no one that does early 2000s like Jenna. Simply grab your best Y2K outfit, and especially make sure to do this costume if you hit the big 3-0 this year! I can't think of a more opportunity to dress up and dance the night away!

How To Dress Like Jenna:

Blair Waldorf

Warner Bros. Entertainment

One of my favorite TV show fashion icons of all time has to be none other than Blair Waldorf. She's an icon, she's everything, and she's the perfect person to dress up as this Halloween. I honestly don't know how someone makes a uniform look that chic, but I'm sure gonna try!

How To Dress Like Blair Waldorf:

Margot Tenenbaum

Touchstone Pictures

This is probably the easiest and hardest costume all at once, which is partly why I love it. The costume is relatively simple: fur coat and Hermes bag. But that's also a $20,000 outfit so it's not as easy to recreate as you may think. I'm thinking of opting for a fur coat from the thrift store, and just a brown, oversized or slouchy bag to achieve the same look. Because Margot is such an icon, and this look is simply too good.

How To Dress Like Margot Tenenbaum:

Bridgerton

Netflix

This show was all anyone could talk about this year, so I have a feeling many people will dress up as Bridgertoncharacters this year — and I don't blame them! The outfits are ideal for any fashion girlies who are just dying to show up and show out. Grab a cottagecore gown, and get ready to dance the waltz all night. I know I'll be on the lookout for some matching gloves to rally complete the look. Now, if only I could get my husband to dress up as Colin...

How To Dress Like Bridgerton:

Grace Kelly

Paramount PIctures

My #1 style icon? Well, thank you for asking! I truly have style icons for just about every decade, but my #1 overall will always be Grace Kelly. She was beauty, she was grace (probably why she was named that), she was a literal princes... Plus, her style was classy and unbeatable! You could wear just about any classy, 50s-inspired look with a blonde wig, and people would know exactly who you are. But for me, I'm trying to find a dress similar to this her undeniably chic look in To Catch A Thief!

How To Dress Like Grace Kelly:

Emily In Paris

Netflix

This costume is a top contender for me, because (hot take alert) I actually love Emily's style in the show! It's loud, unique, and giving Carrie Bradshaw a run for her money. For this costume, it's very similar to Carrie Bradshaw's. Go for loud, statement pieces and make sure to accessorize, accessorize, accessorize. Better yet: make your bestie dress up as Ashley Park and go together! And make sure to keep your phone on hand — just like Emily Cooper would.

How To Dress Like Emily:

Vivian in Pretty Woman

Touchstone Pictures

I see people dress like Vivian from Pretty Woman every year, but it's always the outfit she has on at the beginning of the movie! People totally miss out on the fact that Vivian is a complete style icon in this film, though. From her casual daytime looks and her gorgeous wild curls to this breathtaking red gown with gloves, Vivian pulls out look after look.

How To Dress Like Vivian:

Miranda Priestly in Devil Wears Prada

20th Century Fox Pictures

Anne Hathaway this, Emily Blunt that. No — I want to see more people going as our queen, Meryl Streep, playing the ever-iconic Miranda Priestly. She's better dressed, her lines are everything, and it gives you an excuse to judge everyone around you. (Only kidding!)

How To Dress Like Miranda:

Eve in Life Size

Disney

This movie is so good, and I honestly don't see people dress up as this often! It's no question that Eve was (and is) an icon with all the best Y2K looks. Keke Palmer actually recreated this exact look for Halloween 2023, and it was everything! I definitely think this is a fabulous costume to pull out for this year — you'll be an absolute doll!

These 8 Body Washes Are So Moisturizing, You’ll Never Want To Skip Shower Time Again

Though often overlooked, one of life’s little luxuries is a dang good body wash. In the same way I shop for face cleansers that don’t strip my skin of its natural moisture (but still leaves it feelin’ fresh and clean), I’ve found the best body wash is one that’s undeniably moisturizing. Body washes with moisturizing and hydrating properties are great fits for any and all skin types – hydration is essential for preventing dryness, supplementing the skin’s elasticity, and strengthening the skin barrier – essentially giving your skin the best line of defense against accelerated signs of aging, environmental damage, and breakouts.

These are the best moisturizing body washes to banish dryness:

What body wash should I use for dry skin?

Amazon

Any hydrating body wash with a creamy or oily consistency can be beneficial for dry skin, helping deposit more moisture during the cleansing process without disturbing your skin’s barrier. We recommend Naturium’s The Glow Getter Multi-Oil Hydrating Body Wash, which boasts a nourishing oil-to-lather formula. If you have dry, flaky skin, it also may be best to avoid body washes that have fragrances as they can dry you out even more. Gentle, fragrance-free body washes like Aveeno’s Triple Oat Skin Relief Body Wash are typically a safe, soothing choice.

Target

Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash

I personally used this body wash from Dove all throughout my high school years, where every single skincare concern I had on my face suddenly migrated to my body. I'm talkin' cystic acne, blackheads, and flaky patches. It was notenjoyable. While this body wash wasn't an immediate fix for what my extremely hormonal teenage skin was going through, it certainly helped soothe the intense dryness and didn't aggravate the other various issues at all. I can attest that it's definitely friendly for sensitive skin-havers! Plus, at $10 for around 30 fluid ounces of product, it's also easy on the wallet.

Target

Method Simply Nourish Body Wash

I was on a good Method body wash stint for a while and probably kept this $8 bottle on rotation for about a years worth of showers. I'd be lying if I said I loved it for its moisturizing qualities only – this body wash also smells like pure heaven, which really adds to the experience of using it. It boasts a nice balance of coconut, rice milk, and shea butter, which work for your skin, not against it. Just a warning though: the fragrance may be a bit harsh for those with especially sensitive skin.

Amazon

SheaMoisture Raw Shea Butter Body Wash

First, I fell in love with SheaMoisture's Smoothie Curl Enhancing Cream. Then, their body wash came along – it's only made my love for the brand grow, especially because it's given me undeniably nourished skin every time I hop out of the shower. According to SheaMoisture, this $12 pick is formulated to leave melanin-rich skin "visibly moisturized." I don't have melanin-rich skin by any means, but I still feel super moisturized after using this body wash, likely from the rich blend of shea butter, frankincense, myrrh, and ceramides in its formula.

Amazon

Naturium The Glow Getter Multi-Oil Hydrating Body Wash

This $15 oil-to-cream body wash is the epitome of treat yourself. I really like that the bottle design can instantly upgrade to your shower set up, making every self-care night that much more luxurious. Not only does it look beautiful, it feels beautiful, too. This moisturizing body wash is made with glycerin, squalene, and a variety of rich oils that help replenish your skin's natural moisture and add even more nourishment with each use.

Sephora

Soft Services Comfort Cleanse Ultra-Soothing + Moisturizing Body Wash

This $32 water-oil body wash formula lathers up just enough to lift and wash away impurities on your skin without being super harsh or amplifying dry skin woes. In fact, 100% of users in a product study agreed it was non-irritating for skin, and 91% of them said their skin felt more moisturized and comfortable over time – and I agree! To combat the noticeably-dry skin on my legs this fall, I've been using it routinely alongside Soft Services' Green Banana Buffing Bar and love how soft and supple my skin feels post-shower.
