At the Happy Isles bridal salon on Spring street, owner Lily Kaizer sorted through the racks and pulled out a vintage Givenchy dress: black with metallic gold details and all the volume that you would expect from '80s fashion. This is Kaizer's favorite piece in the store at the moment—although not quintessentially bridal, she is confident that the right girl at the right time will walk in and immediately understand it.

Since 2016, Kaizer has been sourcing vintage bridal and selling it out of salons with pastel rugs and floral couches, the perfect space for girlish dreams to culminate—first in Los Angeles, now also in New York City. She dates her love for fashion back to her California childhood, when she would watch old films and daydream about the costumes, and sort through vintage stores when she was a bit older. In adulthood, Kaizer took it upon herself to not only curate her dream closet, but also share it with the public and form connections with soon-to-be brides as they select looks for what is understood as one of the biggest fashion moment of their lives.

Ahead, we chat with Kaizer about starting her own business, her innate love for vintage fashion, and the rise of the vintage bride.

What were you doing before Happy Isles?

"I was working in fashion event production between New York and Paris doing runway shows, brand dinners, and popups for two years. Before that, I was working at a vintage store and that's when I had the idea for Happy Isles. During the production job, I had the concept for Happy Isles while doing these kinds of events for brands. I thought: wait, I can just do this for myself and it can be permanent. I don't have to set up and break down. At that point, there was nothing like Happy Isles, so it felt like an important thing to do, and I felt like I could do it."

Can you pinpoint your love for fashion to a specific time in your life?

"Probably from the very beginning. While watching old movies when I was younger, I was always taken with the glamour. Singing In The Rain is my favorite movie—just the costumes, and the '30s, '40s, '50s always felt like such a fantasy to me. In my neighborhood growing up, there was a really epic vintage store that I could walk to. My favorite activity in childhood was going and just dreaming about one day being big enough to wear a dress. Then it really grew in high school. I feel like when I was a teen, it was kind of this classic era of fashion in the mid 2000s The OC, Marissa Cooper, just that 2000 to 2007 period, which is literally when I was 10 years old to 17 years old. And I wasn't able to buy the clothes I wanted when I was a teen. I think Happy Isles is a product of that—it's my fantasy closet that I couldn't have when I was younger."

What was the process of opening your own business like?

"It was a lot of just blind faith in my concept at the time, because nothing like this existed. Vintage bridal didn't even fully exist in a fashion context. There were some sellers on Etsy selling wedding dresses from the 40s, but no one was doing white vintage in a bridal context. When I told people about what I was starting, everyone was like, "Is there an audience for that? Is there enough of an audience for what you're doing?" So it was just a lot of blindfold in my concept and knowing that there were plenty of women and brides out there that would die for vintage options while bridal shopping."

Where do you source the clothes and what do you look for?

"Things come from all over. Now that I've been doing it for 10 years, people come to us a lot more with pieces from their own closets. We have a lot of brides now, just in the year and a half, sourcing vintage for themselves. When their weddings are over, we literally get lookbooks from average brides with like thirty vintage bridal pieces that they bought to have as options that they didn't wear. So that's becoming more prevalent. Auctions, online, I have dealers strategically in different cities that send me pieces. I travel when I can. It's constant. I'm buying every day and it keeps me alive. I need new visual information or the world gets stale. That's the part of it that always brings me life: when something new comes in the store and I'm like, "I've never felt this love before." That kind of energy keeps me going and I know it does for everyone that works at the salons too."

Is there an era or a specific style that clients are constantly looking for?

"Very much so in '90s, 2000s is the most requested, but we do see a lot of girls coming for '50s and '60s. The '60s are my personal favorite decade, so I collect a lot of it and I think it's always a surprising choice for people when they come in looking for a '90s or 2000s look and then they're really gravitating towards a '60s, shifty, Prada vibe. Right now, a lot of people are looking for corsets. The snatched look is here to stay and we see that the most."

What is special about working in bridal versus any other type of fashion?

"Working in bridal is the most special placement in the retail environment. People are coming here to feel something. It's not a typical shopping experience, so the level of connection we get to make with our clients goes beyond just a normal retail experience. It's about human connection and that's what people are looking for when they're shopping for bridal. We get to actually have a soul connection with our clients for what is technically their most special look of their lives. You can't get that anywhere else except for in a bridal context."

How would you describe the aesthetic of the salon and what did you want to curate?

"I've kind of been thinking about this more: who is Happy Isles in the landscape of vintage now? I kind of feel like we're the Beverly Hills Hotel of vintage bridal. That's kind of the vibe. We're old school, we're colorful, we're feminine, but you're always going to find clean sleek pieces as well. So it's kind of classic, but with pizzaz."

Do you have a favorite piece in the store right now?

"This late '80s or early '90s Givenchy dress. It's not very bridal, but I'm just waiting for the right person to understand it.

Do you see yourself expanding beyond New York and LA?

"Yeah, we're working on it now. We have a third store in the works currently and have our eye on some other markets too. Expanding is definitely a part of the plan. It feels like everyone in any city that's not LA or New York is clambering for Happy Isles and we want to serve as many people as we can."

Why do you think vintage bridal is so popular right now?

"Vintage has just been popping off for years. I think thanks to archival on the red carpet and people being more inclined to go thrifting and shop on The RealReal,we're just more inclined as shoppers now to look for secondhand. So to find special unique pieces for your wedding seems like a direct tie into that. In such a trend based world that we're constantly seeing on our phones where we're being fed trend-based information and where everyone os wearing the same thing, going vintage is a way to just kind of subvert that and be your own gal, do your own thing, and know that you're wearing something that no one else is going to wear."

The Cannes Film Festival kicked off this, and we already have some thoughts. The festival is known for highlighting and jump-starting the careers of auteur, independent, and international directors, premiering Oscar worthy films and, of course, for the celebrity appearances and luxury fashion moments.

While the festival, very much to our dismay, recently banned naked dresses (the biggest power move of a trend), the looks already trickling in are restoring us with hope—and included some brave souls defying the newly implemented rule. The French Riviera calls for a very distinct sense of fashion: glamorous, luxury resort, and, because of the strict formal guidelines, creativity is necessary to turn a noteworthy look.

So far, we've been blessed with Ruth Negga in Celine, Isabelle Huppert in Gucci, Riley Keough in sheer Chanel, Demi Moore affirming that the polka dot trend is here to stay, and Diane Kruger inspiring our future travel looks—because at Cannes, the travel and arrival looks are nearly as important (and photographed) as the red carpet looks.

Ahead, the 2026 Cannes Festival Looks restoring our hope, inspiring us, and catching our eyes.

Isabelle Huppert

In lieu of Balenciaga, actress and icon Isabelle Huppert went with Gucci for Histoires Parallèles premiere. The red gown was accessorized with matching opera gloves.

Sara Sampaio

For the Fatherland premiere, model Sara Sampaio opted for custom Miu Miu. The gown in question was an off-white, featured tiers of pleats and ruffles, and featured exposed corset detailing at the bodice.

Sandra Hüller

For the premiere of her film Fatherland, actress Sandra Hüller in what would be a rather simple black Chanel column dress—if not for the dramatic, voluminous feather jacket, that is.

Riley Keough

We told you that thong heels were the it-girl shoe of the season! Further proven by Riley Keough who paired hers with a custom black Alaïa dress.

Our favorite thing to come out of Cannes thus far? The ladies boldly defying the festival's ban on naked-dressing. Riley Keough arrived at the Histoires Parallèles premiere in a sheer blush pink organza two piece set from Chanel's Spring 2026 collection.

Hannah Einbinder

Hannah Einbinder walked the red carpet for the screening of A Woman's Life in a neutral Celine look: a high waisted satin skirt with a bit of shine and a short sleeve white turtle neck top.

Gillian Anderson

For the screening of A Woman's Life, Gillian Anderson wore a white Miu Miu dress with embellished detailing along the straps and midriff.

Demi Moore

The polka dot trend will never die—and Demi Moore knows that. For the Cannes Film Festival jury photo-call, Moore arrived in a fall 2026 Jacquemus strapless dress covered in raised dots of various colors. Plus, a matching bag!

For the Cannes Film Festival opening ceremony, Moore wore a custom Jacquemus gown: a sculptural bustier dress crafted out of sequins with a modest train.

Demi Moore

For the Fatherland premiere, Moore wore a custom red Gucci dress akin to a sculpture.

For the premiere of La Vie D'Une Femme, Demi Moore wore custom purple organza gown by Gucci. The dress featured a dramatic train, was off the shoulder, and was sheer in all the right places.

Ruth Negga

For the first day of the Cannes Film Festival, actress Ruth Negga and stylist Karla Welch pulled from Michael Rider's Celine. The look consisted of a silky off white pant and top set featuring the most perfect stitching and a neck-tie detail—and, both blew in the wind in the most ethereal manner.

For the screening of A Woman's Life, Ruth Negga wore a black long sleeve lace Saint Laurent gown featuring voluminous tulle detailing at the waist.

For the festival's opening Gala, Negga brought both the texture and the color to the event. She wore green satin and fringe dress by Dior, complete with black lace detailing.

Charlotte Cardin

The festival notably banned naked-dressing last year, but that didn't stop Canadian singer Charlotte Cardin from walking the A Woman's Life red carpet in a fully sheer black lace Saint Laurent gown.

Meadow Walker

Meadow Walker walked the Fast and Furious screening red carpet in a ruffled and asymmetrical dress by Alaïa.

Theodora

No naked-dressing, no problem. Theodora arrived at the A Women's Life screening in a seductive and sexy Vivienne Westwood look—plus plaid platform shoes to complete the look.

Diane Kruger

Whether by boat or by plane, arrivals are a major part of the Cannes Film Festival. And, we're always welcome to airport style inspiration. Diane Kruger touched down in Cannes in a baggy white t-shirt, baggy high-waisted jeans, slouchy suede boots, and a baseball cap.

Maura Higgins

Maura Higgins made her first Cannes appearance in vintage Thierry Mugler—and we would expect no less. The two-piece jacket and skirt was white, with aquamarine and magenta detailing, featured distinct broad shoulders, and was complete with a tie detail at the waist.

When you stream Prime's new series Every Year After, this likely won't be your first time seeing Sadie Soverall on screen. With roles in films like Saltburn and TV shows like The Gathering, Soverall isn't brand new to the industry—but her latest role as Percy Fraser feels a bit different. Adapted from Carley Fortune's bestselling cult favorite romance novel 'Every Summer After,' this series was long awaited from fans far and wide. "I resonated with Percy's love of stories and writing," Soverall tells us. "Also the nostalgia of returning home, wherever home is for you, whether that’s a person, place or time."

While those elements are what initially drew Soverall to the material, the complexity of the character made the experience deeply personal. "I relate to her in a few ways, she’s really layered and imperfect, she’s a really brilliantly written complex female character that is a human being," Soverall says. "I think her determination is what I feel links us the most."

Ahead of the show's premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, we caught up with Soverall as makeup artist Samantha Lau and hairstylist Jacob Rozenberg worked their magic on her and as she got ready to the soundtrack of Lana Del Rey, Goldfrapp, Geese, and Britney Spears, stepped into her luminous mustard yellow Prada dress styled by Anna Hughes-Chamberlain, and headed off to the red carpet with a little black Prada bag stocked with mini Oreos.

Year after year, Coachella serves as an opportunity for our favorite celebrities to have their most fun with fashion—and to take the most risks because what happens at the desert stays at the desert. Festival goers pull out their best boho-inspired looks, embrace fringe, mesh, and netting, and lean into maximal accessories to do some heavy lifting. Most importantly, styling choices prioritize staying cool in the dry heat while also looking photo ready at all times. 

Hailey Bieber embraced an archival moment at her Rhode pop-up event, Teyana Taylor had us considering purchasing quirky eyewear at Revolve Fest, Kendall Jenner reminds us why she is the queen of off-duty minimalism at her 818 event, and Kylie Jenner just appears to be having the time of her life. From the music to the parties to the instantly recognizable swing ride, our favorite celebrities had us feeling envious from afar as they embraced the desert heat and kicked off festival season. 

Ahead, the celebrity fashion moments that we’ll be using as inspiration for festivals to come.

Hailey Bieber

For her Rhode World pop-up, Hailey Bieber pulled out a vintage Christian Dior slip dress from 1998 in a color combo that we should all be taking note of for spring: a golden yellow plus a poppy fuchsia.

Kendall Jenner

Kendall Jenner is forever the queen of minimalism and looking effortlessly cool. At a festival where maximalism is embraced and a lot of effort is expected to be put into your looks, Jenner kept it simple: white cut off shorts, a cropped white tank top, a black belt, and black boots.

Kylie Jenner

For Day 2 of Coachella, Kylie Jenner pulled out a vintage piece that made a statement: a sequin bra top with dramatic fringe by Katharine Hamnett. She paired the top with classic blue jeans and accessorized with a belly chain.

Kylie Jenner arrived at Coachella prepared to see Justin Bieber perform. She wore a tank top printed with a photo of Bieber throwing up the middle finger.

Gabbriette

Gabbriette put a gothic spin on a boho-inpsired look in a black crochet maxi cardigan with fringe trim. She paired the cardigan with blue jeans and black boots for an effortless look that still felt very much on theme.

Teyana Taylor

For Revolve Fest a Coachella, Teyana Taylor wore a Revolve netted naked dress adorned with silver details that alluded to water drops over a bodysuit. Although this dress would've made a huge statement on its own, her accessories were what really stole the show. On her wrists, silver bangles were stacked and on her ears, the chunkiest of hoop earrings were worn—and overall, jewelry maximalism was embraced. She wore futuristic sunglasses by Schiaparelli that gave a bug eye effect featuring built-in arched eyebrows plus dramatic silver lip hooks.

Between these two Coachella looks, the versatility of Teyana Taylor's personal style was put on full display. This time around, Taylor wore a cropped yellow Guess tank top, khaki pants, and a patterned headscarf.

Quenlin Blackwell

The internet's favorite girl, Quenlin Blackwell, wore a black sheer off-the-shoulder top featuring a beaded fringed hem with micro mini shorts and black boots for a look that felt on theme while also being entirely practical.

Lisa

At the Medicube glow stage at Coachella, Lisa posed in a two piece set: a top with puffy frilly sleeves and a cinched waist, and a matching mini skirt. She completed her look with gray sandal boots.

Winnie Harlow

At the Hideout by Soho House, model Winnie Harlow embraced patterns and textures. She wore bold patchwork jeans featuring red and various shades of green, and a green sweater with shaggy cuffs.

Madison Pettis

At the Hideout by Soho House, Madison Pettis wore a look that felt like quintessential, OG Coachella: a black lace top, leather and lace shorts with fringe details, and Dr. Marten boots.

Justine Skye

On stage at the 818 outpost, Justine Skye wore a chiffon button up top with a pink, yellow, white, and black patchwork print throughout, black micro mini shorts, and statement earrings.

Barbie Ferreira

At the 818 outpost, Barbie Ferreira kept in casual in a floral lingerie-inspired top with a red bra peeking out and blue jeans.

Amelia Gray

Amelia Gray looked comfy and cool in a pale pink Guess baby tee, pale pink mini skirt, and black chunky boots.

Lila Moss

The key to the perfect Coachella look is to pay attention to accessories—and Lila Moss got the memo. She wore an oversized tee, buckle boots, red micro shorts, and accessorized with a red studded belt.

Sombr

For Coachella, Sombr put on his best vintage: a green logo tee, blue jeans, and a brown grommet belt.

Delilah Belle

Delilah Belle brought the lingerie trend to the desert in a lace-trimmed silk top and white slip skirt.

True Whitaker

True Whitaker looked effortlessly cool in a Disney graphic tank, white cutoffs, and western-inspired boots.

Laura Harrier

Laura Harrier embraced the useless belt trend with western-inspired style paired over a D.A.R.E t-shirt. She also wore black micro shorts, black boots, and a black bomber jacket.

Jennie Kim

At Revolve Festival, Jennie reminded us of the importance of belts at Coachella. She paired a back belt with an oversized silver buckle with a denim skirt and graphic tee.

If you're familiar with the saying "clutching your pearls," you most likely associate pearl necklaces with an older generation of women that frequently looks at millennials and gen z with a side-eye—or, regardless of age, the type of woman who is easily offended and has no issue openly expressing moral outrage. If that's your perception, fair enough. But what if I told you that, thanks to some of favorite designers, the pearl necklace is being rebranded in 2026?

The pearl necklace was a status symbol, as well as a symbol of purity and divinity, from as far back as 420 BC—yes, it's an incredibly persistent trend originally popularized by kings, queens, and aristocrats. During the Elizabethan era, pearls were the most sought after gem, more highly coveted than diamonds or precious gemstones. Like all things originally popularized the by wealthy, pearl necklaces became sought after by people of varying classes. In 1893, Kokichi Mikimoto created the world's first cultured pearls which led to widespread availability by the 1920s and Coco Chanel made a strong case the pearl necklace as an accessory to elevate even the most casual of outfits—the first and second pearl necklace rebrand, if you will.

Now, in 2026, the pearl necklace has received another major rebrand and reclaimed a spot in modern fashion—that's just the nature of the trend cycle. Now, pearl necklaces are popular in interesting shapes rather than the traditional orb that likely comes to mind, are often paired with other materials for a mixed-media look, are elevated by pendants, feature oversized pearls, and come in the style of the forever popular choker necklace.

Ahead, the pearl necklace trends that we think are worth shouting out.

On Chanel's Fall/Winter 2026 runway, chunky pearls of varying sizes were contrasted by black material on a loose, slightly longer choker necklace.

For her surprise Coachella appearance with Justin Bieber, Tems made a strong case for maximal pearls with layers on layers on layers contrasting with her black sequined corset, adding a sweet, delicate touch, and giving us all the styling inspiration that we need.

While Shushu/Tong's Spring/Summer 2026 runway featured a variation of pearls, including choker styles with gold pendants, the maximal pearls with maximal length are what really caught our eyes. John Richmond's Fall/Winter 2026 runway also had us considering pearl necklaces in different forms, long styles wrapped around and long styles that culminated in a cross pendant in particular.

Forever icon Parker Posey have caught on to the trend and accessorized her 2026 Golden Globes look with a choker style pearl necklace complete with a large jewel in the center.

Rihanna was arguably the first endorser of the pearl necklace comeback, styling a choker as far back as men's fashion week in Paris—and as the trendsetter that she is, we should've taken note of this revival long ago.

This is all to say that pearl necklace trend has expanded so much that there are so many options—and what was once demure and pure, and can still be interepreted and styled as so, is now also edgy.

At Coveteur, our jewelry rotations just never feel complete—there's always room for a new butterfly shaped labradorite ring, gold locket necklace, or crocheted pearl earrings, especially when made intentionally and with love. This month, we're taking the time to shout out our favorite AAPI brands that we love shopping and admiring year-round. Some of these jewelry brands pour their family heritage into each and every piece, others are inspired by the places they live now or came of age, and some are dedicated to the places and materials they've discovered along the way. 

Some are producing pieces meant to be kept on from day to night, others are creating statements meant for special occasions. All seven of these brands have this in common, though: they're selling pieces that are distinct, high quality, and deserve to be seen. 

Ahead, the AAPI owned jewelry brands that need to be on your radar. 

1. Kinn Studio

Jennie Yoon founded Kinn Studios in attempt to replace the antique jewelry her parents lost when their home was robbed. Because of that, her designs incorporate vintage-inspired elements and her utmost goal is to sell pieces that stand the test of time—rather than trends that will cycle in and out.

2. WWAKE

Founded by Wing Yau in Brooklyn in 2012, WWAKE is known for their use of stones like opals, ethereal aesthetic, and use of recycled metals. Yau studied sculpture at the Rhode Island School of Design, which is clear through her designs that bridge the gap between contemporary art and jewelry.

3. Chan Luu

Vietnamese-born Chan Luu founded her namesake brand in 1996. The brand's humble beginnings included Luu, who had worked in retail for years, making jewelry in her garage—and, to this day, the brand's ethos prioritizes handmade pieces. Now, her niece Tessa Tran is the CEO and Creative Director—a true family business.

4. Aeri Go

Seoul-born and New York-based Aeri Go is a trained silversmith and graduate of the Royal College of Art in London. She founded her namesake jewelry brand in 2018, partially out of curiosity and fascination for different materials, and partially based on a genuine love for the craft. Her brand's ethos embraces imperfections—imprints and irregularities that make it clear that her pieces were made by human hands.

5. BONBONWHIMS

While some of us picked up hobbies like baking banana bread during the 2020 pandemic, Clare Ngai-Howard was pioneering the chunky resin jewelry boom. Her brand, BONBONWHIMS began as a passion project to keep her busy during troubling times, and remains a source for playful, nostalgic, and colorful Y2K-inspired pieces.

6. NOTTE Jewelry

NOTTE Jewelry founder Jessica Tse has spent time living between New York and Florence, with both places very much present in her pieces. Tse is passonate about selling "mood-boosting" jewelry—pieces that are whimsical, handcrafted, and playfully designed. NOTTE's current offerings include beaded necklaces begging to be worn on a Mediterranean vacation and statement rings begging to be worn everyday.

7. Avec New York

Founded by twin sisters Kate and Chloe Lee, Avec New York is committed to slow fashion and creating pieces that can be worn every day, from day to night. Both sisters come from creative backgrounds and studied fashion design at Parsons School of Design in NYC. Now, they produce jewelry out of only the finest, most high quality materials.

Zendaya and Law Roach are a creative duo for the ages—all eyes have been on the pair for every Met Gala, major red carpet, and press tour for the last several years. Together, the two take risks, push boundaries, and we must mention that Zendaya just knows how to pose and show off clothes in all of their glory. While her press tour for The Drama is coming to the end and with the Euphoria season 3 premiere us, some promotion for Dune: Part 3 has already started. This is all to say that we're still very much in the thick of a Zendaya press tour—thank God! Save from a couple fashion month appearances and the occasional red carpet, we hadn't seen that much of our favorite fashion girl lately—and with rumors that she secretly tied the knot with Tom Holland, it's safe to assume that she was busy with more important things than serving us red carpet looks.

Ahead, the looks from this exciting extended fashion run that we’ve been blessed with so far—and we're so excited for what's to come!

For a special screening of The Drama at the Grove, Zendaya paired a mauve lace-trimmed slip skirt from Louis Vuitton's Fall 2013 collection with a merch t-shirt designed by Emily Dawn Long that read "To be loved is to be known."

On the red carpet of Cinemacon to promote Dune: Part Three, Zendaya wore a body-molded Schiaparelli skirt suit in a nude color with shading and texture reminiscent of sand.

For the premiere of season 3 of Euphoria, Zendaya and Law Roach pulled a chocolate brown gown from Ashi Studios's Spring/Summer 2026 collection. The gown featured a high neckline, dramatic train, and teased a bit of side-boob.

Zendaya took the opportunity to wear another something blue for the NYC The Drama premiere after party. This time, she wore semi-naked dress by Di Petsa featuring a sheer bodice with a 3D rope design and low waisted satin skirt.

For her something blue, Zendaya and Law Roach pulled a Schiaparellli Haute Couture gown made out of 65,000 blue and black raw silk feathers for a special screening of The Drama in NYC.

Out and about doing press for The Drama in NYC, Zendaya took a pause from bridal dressing to make a statement. She wore a matching set from Erdem's Fall 2026 collection: a tweed funnel-neck jacket and feathered statement skirt.

In 2026, short trends seemingly exist on two polar opposite ends of the spectrum: micro mini and long. I think of the long short trend as an homage to '90s and early 2000's when in the form of baggy athletic shorts and jorts, and to the '20s when in the form of tailored, more business casual shorts—this is all to say that the long short trend is vast.

While promoting her film The Drama, Zendaya arrived at Jimmy Kimmel Live! in a gray blazer and Bermuda short set from Moschino's Fall 2026 collection. This look made a strong case for long shorts as workwear, rather than a casual piece thrown on for a hot summer day.

For the Calvin Klein show back in February, Brooke Shields made a case for the trend throughout all seasons. To make her long shorts cold weather appropriate, Shields paired them with a matching suit jacket giving the pairing a seamless look, and tall black boots.

On the Spring/Summer 2026 runways of Balenciaga and Maison Margiela, low-slung, ultra baggy long denim shorts were prominent. At Balenciaga, jorts were paired with chunky flip flops, belts, and statement jackets, the perfect look for a slightly breezy summer night. Over at Margiela, the line was towed between casual and office wear with jorts paired with blazers and cowboy boots.

Long tailored shorts made notable appearances on the Spring/Summer 2026 runways of Talia Byre and Ralph Lauren, but styled in distinctly different ways. Byre's collection featured linen shorts paired with a matching hooded jacket and chunky, nomadic boots for a casual look. At Ralph Lauren, long floral printed tailored shorts were dressed up with a white button up shirt, black peak-a-boo bra, a statement necklace, and woven healed sandals.

Now, we can't help but spend our days shopping for long shorts in every style imaginable.

Shop The Trend:

1. Vetements Beige Hip-Hop Denim Shorts

These camel denim Vetements shorts fall below the knee for an extra long, extra baggy look reminiscent of the late '90s.

2. Dries Van Noten Ruffled Cotton-Jersey Shorts

The perfect elevated comfy basic—but not too basic thanks to the ruffled sides.

3. Frame The Tailored Short

For a look that blends polished tailoring with the ease and casual nature of denim, these Frame shorts are perfect.

4. The Garment Ambra Shorts

These shorts by The Garment are a satin twill, slightly metallic, and offer a modern take on office wear.

5. SACAI Black Suiting Shorts

For a pair that can we worn in colder climates, too, these woven wool-blend SACAI shorts are perfect: a bit of a barrel shape, high-waisted, and complete with a belt detail.

6. Jean Paul Gaultier Navy 'The Cut-Out' Bermuda Leather Shorts

These statement shorts by Jean Paul Gaultier are just begging to be worn to a music festival—the cutouts and detachable belt make the perfect amount of a statement.

7. Baserange Blue Claude Shorts

I can so clearly picture these being styled both casually and formally. The elastic waist and pinstripes are akin to boxer shorts, but with the right shoes and top, they instantly become work appropriate.

8. LESET Kim Pleated Woven Shorts

The perfect tailored short in the perfect neutral color with endless styling opportunities—a day at work or an afternoon in the park, for example.

Seeing The Devil Wears Prada is more or less a requirement for anyone working in the fashion industry, or anyone who considers themselves a fashion girl. When Simone Ashley learned that they were making a sequel, the idea of being cast in it didn't immediately feel in the realm of possibility—but when she got the call, there was only one word to describe how it felt to enter such an important franchise:"It felt pretty iconic," she tells me over the phone ahead of The Devil Wears Prada 2 premiere in New York.

Ashley was drawn to the first movie for its underdog narrative and the transformation, both inner and outer, that unfolded unfold onscreen. "It's such a satisfying movie to watch over and over again because you're constantly watching Anne Hathaway's character Andy, our heroine, just rise to the challenge, overtake Miranda, and have that makeover that's just so satisfying to watch," she says. "I think a lot of women watch it, especially young women, and feel really empowered."

Her character in the sequel has been described as the "new Andy"—Amari, the current first assistant to Miranda Priestly with a sharp, polished, office-chic style and a penchant for archival Jean Paul Gaultier. The clothes were a tool for Ashely to embody Amari's mindset: "The character developed mainly when we were in costume fittings and in hair and makeup fittings," she says. "Given that this is a movie set and runway, this hyper-real fantasy of the fashion world, the fashion, the hair and makeup [were] really important." In terms of her own personal style, Ashley's is more understated. "When I'm not working, I'm just really in understated jeans and a top. I like to wear a lot of color, sweatpants, and I love vintage sweaters," she says. "So, quite the opposite of Amari."

Ashley's love for color was reflected through her red carpet look tonight for TDWP2 premiere, a lime-green custom-Prada high-low dress, metallic silver Prada shoes, and Garatti jewelry, styled by Rebecca Corbin-Murray. "I'm a London girl, so my look was influenced by that," she says. "It's really understated, cool, with pop of color and clean lines." Plus, this is Ashley's first time wearing custom Prada—and, considering the film and the occasion, the timing couldn't be more perfect. "It's all a collaborative team effort with my stylist," Ashley says. "We started out with taking measurements and then Prada sent over a few different sketches and this was the one that spoke to us the most."

In terms of glam, Ashley has a trusting relationship with longterm makeup artist Alex Babsky. "I've been working with him for years now and he can just do anything," she says. "I could be half asleep and he could do my makeup and I trust that he'll just make me look fabulous." For the premiere, they went with a soft glow with mostly neutral tones and berry flushed cheeks. Ashley prefers a calm glam room paired with calm music, Frank Ocean often being a go-to. With a supportive team surrounding her, she views the moment before she leaves for a red carpet as a celebration of everyone's teamwork and effort.

For Ashley, this red carpet in particular feels very worthy of celebration, a culmination of four months of filming. "Everyday on set was just a new adventure," she says. "It was just such an amazing experience that I'll remember forever."

It's that time of year again! Our flip-flops are getting a ton of wear, our park days are always looked forward to, we're all reevaluating our swimsuit rotations, and seeing our favorite stars on vacation—Kylie Jenner in Turks & Caicos, for example—has filled us with both envy and inspiration. And, with vacations coming up ourselves, it's time that we get to shopping. If you're in a similar boat, we're here to help and hopefully make your shopping a bit less overwhelming.

We're shopping for swimsuits that make statements, both bold and subtle, whether that be through color, silhouettes, or textural details, and are intrigued by runway trends that seem to be translating over to the world of bathing suits. After a ton of online shopping, there are a few things we've noticed along the way: animal print truly is the trend that keeps on giving, the coquette aesthetic is forever, and unexpected textures are having their moment in the sun.

Ahead, 6 summer 2026 swimsuit trends to guide and inspire your shopping.

Earlier this year, we called out snakeskin as a major fashion trend after its prominence on Fall/Winter 2026 runways. So, it's not entirely surprising that it's now surging as a major swimsuit trend. The print is sexy and a little mysterious and are available in fun, unexpected color-ways—Kylie Jenner in a pink snakeskin printed bikini, for example.

This season, we're playing with texture. Think ruched, seersucker, crinkled, and smocked fabrics, as well as eye-catching embellishments—anything that adds dimension and strays away from that smooth, traditional swimsuit material.

Amelia Gray is the epitome of Anthony Vaccarello's Saint Laurent girl: sexy, sultry, and the life of the party. She gets ready to the soundtrack of Lana Del Rey, Hannah Montana, Addison Rae, and the H2O theme song (IYKYK) before slipping into none other than custom Saint Laurent for the biggest fashion night of the year—for this year's Met Gala, the dress was black and sheer in all the right places. "The body is the medium, not the outfit. This look lives in the tension of in-between: reveal and conceal, softness and strength. It allows my body to exist as both the accessory and the art," Gray said ahead of the red carpet. "There’s a fragility to it, but also a quiet power. Light femininity meets something darker, more emotional. To me, this is what femininity really is the coexistence of all our versions at once. This is my interpretation of a modern goddess."

For makeup artist Sam Visser, balancing what he knows and loves about Vaccarello's Saint Laurent with soft ethereal elements was top of mind. The inspiration for this years Met Gala look began with Botticelli paintings. "A lot of our mood board was paintings and a lot of renaissance art," Visser says. "Botticelli paintings and very ethereal references. We were really inspired by the way water looked in paintings and the colors that were used." The goal was simple: to make Amelia Gray look like a mermaid on land, while providing a synergy between Saint Laurent and YSL beauty. "I'm a huge fan of what Anthony does for Saint Laurent," Visser says."So I was kind of taking the aspects of my insight of the ready-to-wear brand and mixing it together with what YSL Beauty is about and trying to make that as organic of a synergy as possible." So, for this glam, it was all about reflection and highlights on her eyes, lips, and cheeks. First, YSL's soon to be released Skin Affair foundation provided a glowy base. Then, the All Hours Hyper Bronzer and All Hours Luminize Highlighter really went to work. On the lips, the Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick in scenic brown and Loveshine Lip Oil Gloss worked together to plump, define, and offer a glassy finish.

For a bit of extra ethereal energy, Visser whipped up what he refers to as the 'reverse smoky eye': "On her eyes, I used all the palest, lightest tones to kind of reflect the light and bring brightness to the face and the body," he says.

In terms of collaboration, Visser and Gray have the special type of relationship where photos are constantly texted back and forth. For this look for example, photos of abalone shells were shared through text—there was no confusion, but rather an immediate understanding and mutual willingness to experiment and play. "I can send a picture of shell to her and she'll be like 'yes, that's the reference,'" Visser says. "Abalone shells and the color variations within those were one of our biggest references for the makeup tonight."

The look would not have been complete without a good, defined lash curl—and a little touch of YSL's Lash Latex for definition purposes. The end result was a character the duo created together through art and nature references, and listened to music to get into the mindset of before sending Amelia on her way: regal, mermaid-esque, sexy, and ultra feminine.

This Spring, the military jacket has officially made a triumphant return. It's fair to say that troubling times and an uncertain political climate impacts the way that we dress, whether we're conscious of it or not. With this in mind, it's only natural that during this moment in history, we all want to feel strong and protected, even if through clothing.

Back in 2025, Jenna Ortega wore a military drummer vest to Dior's Spring/Summer 2026 show during Paris Fashion Week. It was also around that time that Sofia Richie Grainge showed off her pregnant belly in an unbuttoned military jacket at Vogue World. Then, the references were seemingly endless. On the Spring/Summer 2026 runways, designers like Ann Demuelemeester's Stefano Gallici sent countless military jackets down the runway—and then did the same for the brand's Fall/Winter 2026 show. Gallici's military jackets featured intricate yellow frogging, broad shoulders, distinct button details, plus pipping and colored trim.

The frog closure, a decorative braided fastener, was popular on Khaite's Fall/Winter 2026 runway, too. Leather jackets, wool jackets, and even semi-sheer button up tops featured this detail, paying homage to the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries.

Elsewhere, Keburia's Fall/Winter 2026 runway was military jacket central, offering numerous color-ways, and pieces that paid homage to the past, as well as pieces that put a modern spin on the traditional style—a cream military jacket with fur trimmed sleeves and a fur trimmed collar, for example.

With celebrities like Dua Lipa embracing the trend and opening our eyes to their styling potential, all of team Coveteur is officially adding military jackets to our shopping carts.
