Victoria’s Secret Is Introducing Its Most High-Fashion Collab Yet

Anytime a high-end fashion designer decides to collab with a brand we can actually afford, insanity usually ensues (read these six stories from the H&M x Balmain days for proof). Our go-to lingerie brand, Victoria’s Secret, has just announced its OWN wallet-friendly collection with the design house helmed by Olivier Rousteing.

The lingerie giant posted to Instagram a series of black and white images with one simple caption that set our hearts racing: “VSxBalmain, 11.29.17.”

And that’s not all. According to Teen Vogue, we’ll get a sneak peek at all the sure-to-be smoking pieces we’ll be able to shop on November 29 (one day after the airing of the Victoria’s Secret 2017 fashion show, November 28).

All of the embellished boudoir bras, panties, and garters you could ever hope for will be modeled by the likes of Bella and Gigi Hadid and the rest of your favorite Angels before becoming available to the public the very next day. While little more is known about the upcoming collab, it’s all the info we need to be majorly pumped.

Summer Fridays

2. Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm

This lip balm is viral for a reason. Your besties' lips deserve all the instant moisture, color, and shine this tube provides. This brown sugar shade looks decadent AF, but you can also snag it in other fun 'flavors' like iced coffee and mint.

Dieux is one of my go-to skincare brands for effective products that still take it easy on my sensitive skin. Their Baptism cleanser, part of this giftable duo, provides a nice clean without stripping any moisture from my skin.

Iconic American brand Gap and sister-founded fashion house Dôen(which miss Taylor Swift wears a ton of) teamed up for something super chic – a perfectly summery collection that amplifies "iconic essentials and California classics." Championing the collaborative effort are fashion-forward sisters Lily and Ruby Aldridge, who are already influencing me to snag something from the capsule!

Shop our favorite pieces from the Gap and Dôen collection below!

Floral Mini Dress

I want to live in this dress all summer long! It has a super 90's vibe with the midi cut, femme cap sleeves, and contrasting lining along the neck. The tiny bow in the center makes it all the better. Worn with some ballet flats, you've got yourself a no-fail summer outfit!

High Rise Khaki Trousers

These insanely wide khaki trousers mean business. They flare out generously, so you can still feel breezy and free in the summer heat. They boast some subtle pleats that land along the waistline.

Pointelle Tank Top

This piece is like your classic white tank, except elevated with feminine vibes. The arm holes, neckline, and button front are all lined with lacy, scalloped trim that's timeless yet fresh. It looks exceptional alongside the rest of the Gap x Dôen collection!

Cropped Floral Cami

You can snag this cami to go with the collection's midi skirt, or sport it on its own. Either way, you'll look stunning in the best summer florals!

Linen-Blend Cardigan

I consider this piece the *perfect* summer cardi. It's made with a loose, breezy knit that'll keep you covered even in chilly evenings!

Organic Cotton Eyelet Big Shirt

This loose button-up with an eyelet-covered collar will follow your summer wardrobe into fall and winter with ease.

Ballet Flats

If you don't have a good pair of ballet flats by now, it's time to hop on the hype! They're one of the trendiest shoe silhouettes of the summer, but more importantly, they provide your feet the utmost comfort without beckoning too much sweat. This navy shade that's part of the new collection will work well with denim bottoms, khaki pants, maxi skirts, and beyond.

Eyelet Midi Dress

Did someone say dreamy? This square-neck white eyelet mini dress buttons all the way up to some darling ruched shoulder straps. The three-tier design flares out for a loose fit. Your nextwhite party outfitawaits with this whimsical white maxi. It comes complete with tons of tiny eyelets and ruffle trim to make your look feel magical.

High Rise Denim Trousers

Following the same shape as the khaki trousers in the Gap x Dôen collection, this denim number feels a touch more chic than your average pair of jeans. The off-center button closure and symmetrical pleat work supply something a lil' different for maximum style.

Floral Midi Skirt

Crafted in the same adorable florals, this maxi skirt is the ultimate compliment to any white tank or tee – especially for summertime. The bright red trim along the top and bottom amp up the visual interest even more, although you'll already be turning heads when you wear it.

Kids Logo Tote Bag

To commemorate the collaboration, Gap x Dôen are promoing a practical kids tote bag. This one's navy and cream colorway is sure to match with every one of your ensembles!

The Gap x Dôen collection launched Friday, May 17. It hosts 51 pieces for women and kids that marry Gap's classic denim and khaki fabrications with Dôen's feminine florals. The capsule's pricing ranges from $20 to $158.

The pieces are absolute wardrobe staples, but are also easily pair-able with other statement pieces you might already have in your closet!

The Gap x Dôen collection includes a white eyelet milkmaid dress, a gingham dress, a pinstripe button-down shirt, denim barn jacket, ultra-wide khaki pants, a dainty floral dress, baggy jeans, Mary Jane flats, a navy knit blouse, and so much more.

The sisters serving as the face of the new collaboration, Lily and Ruby Aldridge, were tapped by Dôen-founding Margaret and Katherine Kleveland for their shared love for Gap.

“Growing up, our mom was the quintessential Gap woman: Her classic style was formative in our own personal style and design ambitions from an early age,” Margaret told Vogue. “To be able to partner with an iconic brand that provides the same nostalgic feeling that we aim to create with our designs is truly surreal.”

“We’ve worn Gap since we were little,” Lily also told Vogue. “The quality and craftsmanship of this collaboration live up to the standard and it’s at Gap prices! We love Gap, and we love Gap prices!”

Our favorite dancing queens (Meryl Streep included) might be returning to the big screen for a third encore of Mamma Mia! and we’re already rewatching the first two movie musicals in preparation.

In an interview with Deadline in May of 2023, Mamma Mia! franchise creator and producer Judy Craymer said a third movie musical is in "earliest stages." She also shared that she has come up with a way to bring Meryl Streep back again.

"I don't want to over-egg it," she said of the unofficial news, "but I know there's a trilogy there…and I do think Meryl should come back, and if the script is right, she would, I think, because she really loved playing Donna."

"Of course I want to do it," Streep said during the 2024 Cannes Film Festival (via Deadline). Sounds promising to us!

Is Mamma Mia 3 happening?

Universal Pictures

Yes, Mamma Mia 3 is in its early planning stages! Christine Baranski just told The Hollywood Reporter that she's met with producer Judy Kramer, and that Kramer has plans for the third movie. "She gave me the narrative plotline of how it’s going to happen," Baranski says. "That’s all I can say! But, it’s not like, 'Oh, I wish it could happen!' Judy Kramer makes things happen. She made number two happen, and it was a phenomenal hit. I wouldn’t put it past Judy Kramer to get everybody back together."

Universal Pictures

A third installation was first mentioned way back in 2020, during a Collider interview with Mamma Mia! star Amanda Seyfried. Seyfried said she was on board — and at the time, she thought the rest of the star-studded cast would be too.

"Listen, every single person in that movie would say yes in a heartbeat because we want to hang out with each other," Seyfried told Collider at the time. "That's what we talked about last time, like did we ever think that we'd end up here again on an Island in Croatia?"

When will Mamma Mia 3 come out?

Universal Pictures

We don't have an official answer about when to expect this highly anticipated sequel. The project is in the "earliest stages," according to creator and producer, Judy Craymer. Cher also revealed to Entertainment Weekly that everyone is "talking about it," but she doesn't "know when they're going to do it."

Has casting information been shared about Mamma Mia 3?

Jonathan Prime/Universal Studios

While nothing's been made official, Amanda Seyfried just said something that made my heart skip a beat. She told ABC News she loves Sabrina Carpenter's music and dropped this admission: "If Sabrina Carpenter wants to play my daughter, I’ll make it happen."

But before she admitted that, the actress said something else that made me raise my eyebrows. "Everybody says it’s gonna happen, but I mean, I haven’t seen a script."

Cher is also eager to return to the beloved franchise and is rooting for Meryl to make an appearance again. "I keep saying, 'Meryl, you've got to come back,'" she said (via Entertainment Weekly). She also said she's told her, "'It'll be fun. You'll have a good time. You'll be able to sing.'"

I don't know what it'll take, but hope someone gets a script in Amanda Seyfried, Cher, and Meryl Streep's hands ASAP!

What is the first Mamma Mia about?

Universal Pictures

The first film follows Donna (Streep) and Sophie (Seyfried) as mother and daughter living on a remote Greek island. When Sophie is about to marry Sky (Dominic Cooper), she sets out to learn who her real father is after discovering it could be one of three men (played by Pierce Brosnan, Stellan Skarsgard, and Colin Firth).

Who does the second Mamma Mia follow?

Universal Pictures / NBCUniversal

Mamma Mia 2takes viewers back to 1979, where young Donna (Lily James) embarks on a series of adventures throughout Europe following her Oxford University graduation. On her journeys, she makes the acquaintances of Harry, Bill and Sam – the latter whom she falls in love with. In the present day, pregnant Sophie dreams of renovating a taverna while reuniting with her mother's old friends and boyfriends on a Greek island island.

TBH, we’re pretty happy that Mamma Mia! is far from over, and we can’t wait to see what the franchise has in store for us next. Stay updated on all the latest entertainment news with Brit + Co.

There's nothing ~normal~ about how much we love Normal People's Paul Mescal & Daisy Edgar-Jones. While it turns out we're not getting a Normal People season 2 (yet), the two actors are starring in some of 2024's biggest blockbusters (Twisters and Gladiator II, namely), and we've been soaking up their presences ever since.

Paul recently exhibited his ongoing friendship with Daisy at the Gladiator II premiere in Los Angeles. While he approached Brittany Broski on the red carpet for an interview, he recognized her from her recent 'Royal Court' interview with Daisy:

"You were with Daisy!" he chimed in excitingly. We just love this power duo!

Enda Bowe/Hulu

Daisy Edgar-Jones also revealed that she's remained incredibly close to Paul Mescal after their time on Hulu's Normal People. "Paul is one of my lifetime best friends," she says. "He’s an incredibly grounded person and I am too, I think, so it’s nice to be able to have those touchstones and those people you can laugh about it with and be lighthearted with. We met when I was 20 and Paul was 22; I’m so excited to see where we’ll be at 32, 42, and what life will bring us."

But the coolest thing is that not only is Normal People special for Paul and Daisy, but they've also been able to see the effect of the show on its fans.

"The thing I love people saying the most is, 'It made me contact my ex,'" Daisy continues. "Especially when much older people say, 'I just wanted to reach out to the person I was with when I was 17 just to say you were a big part of my history and thanks for being part of who I am, the tapestry of my life.' And that I really love, because I’m a massive romantic."

Daisy recently revealed they bonded over their training for Twisters and Gladiator II.

"I did running lessons — isn’t that crazy?" she told Variety. "Actually, Paul [Mescal] and I were laughing about it, because he was training for 'Gladiator II' and I was training for 'Twisters,' and obviously he had to be huge and I was like, 'Don’t worry, I’m going to be right up there with you.'"
