6 Chic Outfits for Everything You’re Doing This Summer

Summer is right around the corner, and you know what that means — a jam-packed agenda filled with everything from beach bummin’ in that sick new one-piece swimsuit to the annual glamping extravaganza with the girls to an endless list of summer weddings. Needless to say, fighting off boredom definitely won’t be on your to-do list in the coming months, but pulling together an arsenal of carefully curated ensembles should be — because what’s a stacked social calendar without a few killer outfits to go along with it? Exactly — a lot less fun. Because you’re busy getting your #girlboss on (and plotting a list of Insta-worthy weekend escapes), we’ve styled six sartorially sound getups — complete with colorful pom-poms and a few festival style essentials — that will get you through the summer season in It girl-approved style.

Sure, it’s prime beach time, but a girl’s still gotta work, work, work, work, work (we had to). Channel summer’s free-spirited vibes by ditching boring blazers and stuffy separates and going straight for the good stuff — on-trend pieces that push the envelope, not HR’s buttons. Case in point: Rock a lacy crop top with elegant high-waisted trousers (in a flirty floral print, no less) for a sophisticated getup that will make that to-do list a lot more bearable. Round out the ensemble with a patchwork denim shoulder bag with casual Friday appeal, tonal drop earrings and snakeskin-inspired steppers that will straight-up stun whether you’re crunching numbers or toasting after hours. Bonus: It’s also “I do” approved — just swap out the shoulder bag for a glitzy clutch and you’re golden.

What to Wear to the Beach (and Beyond)

Whether you’re posting up by the pool or soakin’ up those good vibes in the sand, a fuss-free getup is a given. A scene-stealing swimsuit is the perfect starting point, and we’re just a little bit obsessed with this tropical plunge one-piece. Slip it under a playful romper that makes the transition from the surf and sand to your favorite lunch spot an effortless exercise, then throw in a pair of pom-pom sandals for good measure (because, hello). Sun protection is non-negotiable, so sleek sunnies and sunscreen are a must. Toss a bright yellow tote — filled with all those beach-day essentials, obvi — over your shoulder and get ready for a bit of fun in the sun.

What to Wear for a Backyard Bash

What’s summer without a barbecue (or two, or three) with your crew? A laid-back look is key for this casual backyard affair, and a cami, kimono and denim short combo is just what the stylist ordered. Have fun with the accessories, mixing in a few fringe-flecked pieces and some simple stacking rings to pull the look together. Footwear of choice: espadrilles all the way.

What to Wear for a Girls’ Night Out

Girls’ night out? This palm print dress is so down. Create the ultimate blend of sweet and sassy by teaming modern feminine details and toughened-up accents. Statement baubles are obligatory, and this turquoise stunner doesn’t disappoint, injecting a bit of bohemian flair into an otherwise contemporary-cool look. On the footwear front, lace-up suede wedges add a ladylike quality to the slinky slip dress without compromising on that RN appeal, while a military jacket (nope, no blazers here) is all about bringing a don’t-mess attitude to the outfit’s overall aesthetic. For the perfect finishing touch, enlist the help of a sleek box clutch in a pretty pastel hue and a vibrant red mani that keeps it real.

Topshop Palm Print Cross-Back Slip Dress ($60), Talula Merchland Jacket ($125), BaubleBar Rio Pendant ($52), J.Crew Suede Ankle-Wrap Wedges ($158), Lulu Guinness Perspex Box Bag With Lipstick ($416) + Butter London Nail Lacquer in MacBeth ($15)

What to Wear Glamping

As far as glamping getups go, a mix of casual and luxe(ish) pieces is essential. Denim is a duh, and these turquoise shorts should be #1 on your packing list, as should a sassy pair of fringe-flecked boots. Skip the classic plain-white tee and top off your outfit with a striped crop tank and the piece de resistance — a tassel-tastic kimono with a subtle prairie-chic edge. DON’T overlook the accessories: Take along a wide-brim hat decked out in boho bling and a chambray bandana with wear-anywhere potential. The only thing missing? A swipe of siren-red lipstick and a few layers of turquoise jewelry (you know — to really put the glam in glamping).

What to Wear to a Festival

When that much-anticipated festival or concert series rolls around, there’s nothing else to do but embrace your inner rock goddess all the way. Consider a crocheted top and Dr. Martens the base of your main-stage #OOTD, then build on their free-wheelin’ feel with accessories that fuse groovy and grunge-era style. A lightweight button-front skirt serves as a blank canvas for an exotic belt bag we’re pretty sure Stevie Nicks would love and a gold cuff with dramatic fringe. Complete the look with — what else — a flower crown and a messy fishtail braid.

I can totally understand falling for a costar. One scene gazing into each other's eyes, and (as the kids say), I'd be asking, "What are we?"

October 30, 2024 — Ethan Slater Finally Speaks Out About His Relationship With Ariana Grande

Almost two years after meeting Ariana Grande, Ethan Slater finally opened up about their relationship in a new interview with GQ. “Obviously, it was a really super big year and I think there was something that was really difficult about things in your private life being commented on and looked at by the public," he says. "There were a lot of big changes in private lives that were really happening, so it’s really hard to see people who don’t know anything about what’s happening commenting on it and speculating, and then getting things wrong about the people you love. So just to address that part of it, that feels really hard."

But the clouds also came with silver linings. “Of course, it was an amazing year and a really beautiful thing, and I’m just really excited," he continues. "I’m just really, really proud of Ari and the work she’s done on this. She’s poured herself into it. I’m really proud that I got to be there for that part of it, and I’m really excited to be there for this next step of it when the world gets to see the amazing thing that she did.”

I think Matthew McConaughey and his wife Camila Alves are one of the sexiest celebrity couplesalive. From Matthew's Texas drawl and swagger to Camila's beautiful aura, I love keeping up with their relationship. Not only are they parents to three amazing kids, they're the founders of a foundation dedicated to keeping high school kids active...annnnnd they make their own tequila. Does this make them couples goals? I'm going to roll the dice and say, "Yes!" They may even give Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds a run for their money, but I'll let y'all be the judge of that! 😘

Wondering how their love story began and how it's currently going? Here's a brief overview of their relationship timeline!

2006: Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves cross paths at a club

Usher may have been on to something with his single "Love in This Club" because that's exactly what happened for Matthew McConaughey. Well, he and Camila Alves didn't make love in the West Hollywood club they were at. Instead, they met and it was love at first sight for McConaughey.

He told People he remembers the exact moment he saw his future wife. "She showed up, and she moved right to left in front of my eyes across that club," he said. "It was as if she was floating. And I did not say, 'Who is that?' I said, 'What is that?' And then introduced myself."

That introduction sealed the deal for both of them as they begin going on dates shortly after that. I love that it didn't take them long to decide, "Okay, we're doing this" because I still believe in love at first sight. I mean, who hasn't dreamed about the moment they're at a party and lock eyes with the person they're meant to be with?

January 2008: Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves make their relationship red carpet official

Two years after their fateful meeting, Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves made their red carpet debut for the premiere of Fool's Gold. It was clear their relationship was going well because Alves was sporting a cute little baby bump. She actually opened up about the moment they decided to let the world know they were together in a reflective Instagram post.

"I was so nervous, we had already been dating for a while and I had been to movie premiers with him but always sneaking in thru the back to keep our privacy... this was the first time going 'here we go.'" She wrote in the caption.

July 2008: Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves have their first baby

The couple welcomed their first son, Levi Alves McConaughey, during the summer of 2008 and were beyond grateful for his arrival.

Camila later shared how tough his birth was when she appeared on Sarah Hyland's Lady Parts in 2021. "We tried to go as natural as we could in a hospital setting," she said. "We really wanted to go through without taking [medication]. We wanted to have that experience, and that was what we planned on."

However, Camila had to have an emergency C-section which happens if the medical staff determines there's grounds for an intervention. In baby Levi's case, the umbilical cord was wrapped in such a way that wouldn't have ended in good results had Camila tried to deliver vaginally.

I'm just grateful that things ended up going well even if Camila experienced a change in her birth plan.

Levi is going to be a big brother … Yeah, we pulled off the greatest miracle in the world one more time," Matthew wrote.
Maybe I'm delusional, but I swear I can picture his signature grin as he sat down to type this announcement. For all I know, he may have even said, "Alright, alright, alright' when he published it.

It's unbelievable to think Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves have been married 12 years, but time flies when you're enjoying moments with the love of your life.

Matthew took to Instagram to share a heartfelt photo and message to celebrate their marriage, and I'm pretty sure someone is cutting onions because my eyes keep watering. He simply wrote, "thank you #happyanniversary" as his caption, but those two words feel like they hold a ton of weight.

From their philanthropic efforts to founding their own Tequila brand, Pantalones, Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves have found ways to support in each other in love, life, and business. Frankly, I love to see all of it.

Where the Gilmore Girls cast leads, I will follow, which includes numerous roles on shows like Étoile, The Handmaid's Tale, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, and now Shrinking. Season 2 of Harrison Ford's hit show premiered on Apple TV+ October 16, and one of our favorite GG actors is making an appearance: Kelly Bishop! She's starring as none other than Harrison's ex-wife Susan. The thought of these two onscreen together makes me giddy — talk about a power duo! Here's when Kelly Bishop will be on Shrinking season 2, and everything else you need to know about the new season.

  • Shrinking season 2 premiered on Apple TV+ October 16.
  • While season 1, which follows a therapist who begins telling clients what he really thinks after he experiences tragedy, was about grief, season 2 focuses on forgiveness.
  • Kelly Bishop will guest star as Paul's (Harrison Ford) ex-wife Susan in episode 5.

When will Kelly Bishop guest star on Shrinking season 2?

Beth Dubber/Apple/EW

Kelly Bishop will guest star as Susan in episode 5, which drops on Apple TV+ Wednesday, November 6. And thanks to Entertainment Weekly, we have a look at her character! “We always knew we were going to bring Paul’s ex-wife in because the second season was a lot about dealing with your past," creator Bill Lawrence tells EW. "And you can’t really move forward until you deal with your past."

"This season is about forgiveness," he continues. "Her arrival is a huge component because it’s tied into Paul’s family, and getting to hear, through Kelly, why he’s estranged from his daughter and what he feels guilty about was a great thing for his character."

There are two sides to every story, and let's just say I'm excited to hear Susan's side of things after hearing Paul's perspective for so long! And it looks like I wasn't the only one who could tell Kelly and Harrison are the ultimate duo. "We knew Kelly, just from having been fans, could definitely not only stand up to Paul, but even just dropping in for a few scenes, immediately feel like his equal and someone that could give as much as she got," Bill says. "Man, we love that combo of the two of them."

"This was the first time I had the pleasure of working with Harrison Ford," Kelly Bishop told EW. "I found him professional, amiable, and a delight to work with." I wouldn't expect anything less.

What is Shrinking about?

Shrinking Season 2 Plot

Shrinking follows grieving therapist Jimmy, who throws policy & training out the window after his wife is killed by a drunk driver and starts to tell his clients what he really thinks. But as he makes these huge changes in people's lives, he realizes just how much his own is changing, too.

“When you pitch a show, half the time you’re dancing with sparklers and you’re not sure if you’re going to do what you said. You’re just trying to get somebody to agree to put it on TV,” Lawrence tells TV Insider. “But we pitched the first season as dealing with grief. And the second season, we pitched to these guys as forgiveness. In your head, you’re like, what does that mean? What does that look like? But I think anybody that’s a fan of the show will realize it’s not just for one person.”

And season 2, while focusing on forgiveness, also sees the fallout of Jimmy's choices — like how Grace is now in prison for pushing her abusive husband off a cliff or how Jimmy's relationship with his daughter Tia is still far from healed. Tune into the rest of Shrinking season 2 to see how that forgiveness plays out.
