Minimalism isn’t exactly in my DNA — one look inside my apartment will tell you as much. That more-is-more mindset extends to my handbags, which tend to resemble Mary Poppins–level carryalls. Lately, though, I’ve been trying to scale things back, and the season’s drawstring pouch trend couldn’t be better timed. After all, an evening out doesn’t necessarily warrant a heavy, packed-to-the-brim tote, right?

The look first landed on my radar in the fall, after drawstring pouches populated the Spring/Summer 2026 runways. Prada led the charge, debuting satin, leather, and nylon versions in shades like bubblegum pink, black, and beige, while Isabel Marant offered a more structured take on the emerging bag trend. More recently, the trend carried into the street style circuit, with showgoers clutching Celine’s leather drawstring pouches at the house’s Fall/Winter 2026 show.

No, a drawstring pouch isn’t the best choice for a full day of errands. But for a dinner with friends or a first date? It’ll house everything you need for the evening — car keys, wallet, and lipstick included.

On that note, scroll onward to shop 10 drawstring pouches I’m currently eyeing. Keep in mind: With Miuccia Prada pioneering the trend, you best believe it’ll have staying power.

When your best friend’s husband happens to be Justin Bieber, you better believe you’re going to show up to Coachella (or Bieberchella as the kids are calling it) in support. That’s precisely what Kylie Jenner did on April 10th as she touched down in Indio, California wearing a green tank top with a photo of the festival’s headliner on it.

Not only was Jenner dressed the part, but she was also pictured with two clear shopping bags from Bieber’s clothing line, Skylrk — which would perhaps offer a clue of some of her looks for the weekend. Jenner added the photo to her Instagram grid, where she excitedly wrote, “chelly day 1!!!!!” as the caption. Oh, and she used Bieber’s 2025 song “Poppin’ My S***” as the audio for the post. The Bieber fever didn’t end there.

The Kylie Cosmetics founder posted another Instagram, this time a video with her friends dancing in face masks. While this post wasn’t set to a Bieber track, the caption was still a nod from his infamous paparazzi kerfuffle, “It’s not clocking to you.” Hailey Bieber, who will also be in attendance, left a comment, “It is to you tho!!!” (since Jenner was still wearing the Bieber tank).

In addition to her green Justin tank top, Jenner was also wearing black leggings and a bucket hat. As for what she’ll actually wear once she's on the grounds? That remains to be seen — but if those Skylrk shopping bags are any indication, expect at least one look tied to Bieber's clothing line to make an appearance before the weekend is over.

Given Jenner's track record of turning Coachella into her personal fashion showcase, consider the pressure on.

Fact: There are certainly hundreds of thousands of serene luxury properties around the world that make for a romantic experience. However, very few have a true love story baked into their foundation. That’s exactly the case for Bolt Farm treehouses, nature-immersive properties designed for authentic connection by IRL husband-wife duo Seth and Tori Bolt. Considering the business was conceived amidst the start of their own relationship, it’s safe to say the company has literally been a labor of love.

“I met her in the middle of the construction [of the first tree house], and that really inspired me to take it all the way to a penthouse-suite-type experience in nature because I had to make it good enough that Tori would say yes to honeymooning there,” says Seth on a Zoom call with The Zoe Report. The couple first met back in 2015 when Seth and his band Needtobreathe appeared as guests on local news station Fox 26 in Texas, where Tori was working as an on-air reporter. A year later, the two were honeymooning at the first Bolt Farm property, the Majestic Treehouse, a cliffside sanctuary on Seth’s parents’ farmland in South Carolina, set in the midst of nature with none of the distractions or noise of modern life.

In this serene, post-wedding haze, the two found themselves inspired by their idyllic surroundings and wanted other couples to experience the magic for themselves. “We were in the space and experiencing the beauty of curated environments, and also the essential [need] for the soul time away from noise and distractions and news and everything else,” explains Seth, adding that these two key components were what they felt was missing in modern life as well as the travel industry as a whole. “A lot of times spaces aren’t as intentional as what we build,” he says. “You could be in a beautiful place, but if your phone’s still going off, you’re going to miss the moments that happen when you get into a state of flow and you’re thinking about the really important things in life, and not just the day-to-day logistics.”

With this mission of intentional, connection-focused travel at top of mind, Tori and Seth carved out their business plan for a company that created experiences centered on three key elements: million-dollar views, one-of-a-kind designs, and experiences fully curated for two people. The adults-only stays, all located on a secluded property in Whitwell, Tennessee — with the exception of the original Majestic Treehouse — eight domes, 17 treehouses, one Arhaus, one floating mirror, and four mirror cabins.

“You have a view that’s at a minimum of six miles long, and every single tree house and dome is in the front row,” says Seth. “I think being surrounded by beauty is one of those things that is just so good for the soul, and especially for the modern person.”

While the Bolt Farm structures may vary, the “high touch” interiors and luxe amenities are the through line that both Tori and Seth refuse to compromise on. “Everything is designed for two people, from the outdoor shower to the hand-hammered copper tub,” says Seth. “The first tree house I built by hand with my dad, so there’s always been this human touch element, and I think that matters more than ever in the world of mass production and AI. Bolt Farm is an entirely human experience where you’re going to see antiques and cool things that were made by people generations ago, and you’re going to see things that were handmade with a lot of love and feel that.”

To achieve this authentic antique-modern vibe, the duo often source from independent shops, scouring vintage hubs like Etsy as well as online antique stores around the country for gems that fit the Bolt Farm aesthetic. For more specific pieces, they’ll take matters into their own hands. “For example, our beds, nightstands, and chaise lounges — all of that furniture is literally carved by hand,” says Seth. “I love that, and I think just strategically that’s going to age really well in this modern world. The things that are uniquely human are worth more, and the things that are true are more valuable.”

These uniquely human things of value also include the concept of romance, which Tori says the company is aiming to redefine, or rather bring back to its purest form. “Some people might think, ‘Oh, romance is all about formality and the lavish roses,’ but it’s really about losing track of time with the person you love,” she says. “And if we can get people to laugh or cry together by reminiscing and truly rediscovering their best friend or remembering why they got together in the first place, then we’ve won.”

In lieu of crowded dining experiences, tourist-filled museums, and packed beaches, the wilderness sanctuary transports guests back to the basics of human connection. Amenities include a wellness haven encompassing hot spring pools, an on-property spa, a sauna, and steam rooms. For active travelers, 2.5 miles of hiking trails will plop you in the center of nature, amidst waterfalls and flowing creeks. Special curated, all-inclusive packages allow guests to unlock VIP-level experiences like candlelit acoustic sets led by Seth, signature couples spa treatments, and chef-made, oven-ready meals. Again, the magic lies in the very simple details and quiet moments, “like making pizza together or reading through our conversation cards that we create ourselves,” says Tori. “It doesn’t have to be loud and lavish. It’s just setting the table for [couples] to connect.”

The business has also created a special connection for the Bolts, who built the business in the midst of the early stages of marriage as well as a global pandemic, when the travel and hospitality industries were at an all-time low. The two both left their respective established careers to essentially dive into uncharted territory. Seth describes Tori’s involvement as “life-changing,” explaining that her talent for task management and “responsible things” was very much needed for Bolt Farm to come to fruition. “We make a great team in that way,” he says. “You need a visionary and an integrator a lot of times in order to have that big impact. So we’re a great mixture of ‘dream it’ and ‘do it.’ I have no shortage of big dreams, and Tori keeps the train on the tracks, making sure that [things] get done.”

Tori seconds this notion, explaining that, early on, she stopped comparing her marriage journey with that of her friends and peers, most of whom didn’t work with their partners. Well-intentioned advice around work-life balance and boundaries was appreciated but not adhered to. “Hearing people talk about, ‘Don’t talk about business at dinner,’ and all these things — we just realized that was stupid for us,” she says. “It didn’t apply, because we just love it. It’s not just a job, it’s our life’s work. So why force yourself to turn that off? And that has looked like many dates turned business meetings [in which] we came up with great ideas that were actually really, really fun.”

A decade since that fateful honeymoon, the Bolt business is truly booming — and so are the Bolts. The couple welcomed daughter Amma in August 2023, amidst rapid expansion and property buildouts. Despite the giant leaps of faith and sacrifices made (the couple sold their home and lived in an RV on the Bolt Farm property for eight of the 10 years of business), the ROI is certainly materializing in more ways than one. In addition to generating buzz as a top five-star retreat and winning accolades and spotlights from major platforms like TripAdvisor, Travel + Leisure, and Forbes, the feedback from guests serves as the proof in the pudding.

“Once we saw enough handwritten notes and journals and guest books from people that stayed at Bolt Farm that just said, ‘This probably added 25 years to our marriage,’ or, ‘I rediscovered my best friend this weekend,’ we were like, ‘Hell or high water, we’ve got to do this and we’ve got to scale this and we’ve got to make this more available,’ because we literally have not been able to build fast enough to keep up with demand.”

In an effort to keep up, the Bolt Farm team has — and is — growing at an equally rapid pace. Just like the unique experience offered to guests, the Bolts aim to create a different work environment for staff as well. “I want people to know this is a place where you can unleash your builder superpowers and escape the corporate grind for true freedom and fuel your purpose at a place where your voice can be heard,” says Seth. “Because what makes life meaningful and rewarding is when you actually get to do something where you apply your talents and gifts, and it comes to life.”

Tori says it best in claiming “love” to be the superpower of Bolt Farm. “We consider it an honor that people have their honeymoon here, their 25th anniversary here, elopements and proposals, you name it,” she says. “It’s high praise to be the place that just now thousands and thousands of people have chosen to celebrate life’s biggest milestones and moments. So we’re motivated by that, and we keep that front and center, because ultimately that’s what it’s all about.”

Congrats! You’ve officially made it onto the other side of sub-zero temps, early sunsets, and layering Heat-Tech under your clothes. You’re probably in the accessorizing portion of mapping out your springtime looks, but don’t forget to give your beauty routine a seasonal upgrade, too. If you’re not sure which steps to swap, April 2026’s best new beauty products are a solid starting point.

Just like overdressing on an unexpectedly balmy spring day, rich creams are probably starting to feel like a heavy layer on your face. Instead, opt for a lightweight yet deeply hydrating gel like Sofie Pavitt’s Skin Jelly. And, of course, sunscreen is a must. La-Roche Posay and Ilia both have new serum SPFs that aren’t chalky or goopy. You might find yourself looking forward to applying sunscreen. For makeup, you can achieve a seasonal sun-kissed glow with bronzers from Victoria Beckham Beauty and Westman Atelier. And finally, make every day this month a good hair day by incorporating hydrating, reparative treatments into your routine. Ouai’s Bond Repair Balm and Matrix’s Mega Sleek Smoothie Supreme Smoothing Mask are two standouts to try.

Last night, The Zoe Report and Rachel Zoe co-hosted a chic, intimate dinner with essie that served as the unofficial official kickoff to Coachella weekend. Zoe’s Coachella gathering always serves as a refreshing escape from the buzz of festival-going, and this year was no exception.

To add to the excitement of the event, Zoe was just announced as essie’s first-ever Chief Color Director, a newly-created role where she will bring her stylist’s eye to both polishes and nail care. To celebrate the news, Zoe wore head-to-toe white, inspired by one of her favorite essie shades, Marshmallow. Other iconic hues like Berry Naughty and Ballet Slippers were incorporated into the stunning tablescapes.

With desert-inspired sounds from Mojave Grey in the air, attendees including Madelyn Cline, Winnie Harlow, Sophia Culpo, Sara Sampaio, Spencer House, Sonia Mena, Katherine Hughes, and Branden Cook at the Tommy Bahama Hotel. After passing through massive wooden doors into the Grand Patio, they entered a secluded oasis.

During cocktail hour, guests sipped on drinks that were equal parts beautiful and delicious, like toasted marshmallow Old Fashioneds and Ballet bloom spritzez. In attendance were Brown Bee founders Maria Victoria Sanchez and Irene Sanchez, whose cult-favorite vegan sunless tanning line, formulated with clean, skin-loving ingredients, was spotlighted throughout the evening. The Argentinian brand’s signature glow fit right into the setting, building excitement around its U.S. launch.

For dinner, guests gathered around a dreamy table covered in elegant florals in sunset hues.

The night ended with s'mores and a surprise acoustic set by Mojave Grey around the campfire where they debuted their new single “Beyond” ahead of its release today. As guests began to sing along, it became a real memorable moment.

Amidst the nostalgia boom that’s dominated the better part of the 2020s, one of the more pivotal franchises of the early aughts has finally resurfaced. Yes, after remaining relatively low key, save for the occasional rewatch podcast and interview, the original cast of Laguna Beach has come back together for an epic reunion, premiering on Roku today. For fans keeping track, it’s been more than two decades since the entire crew of Laguna Beach High School alums has been in front of cameras — including show lead and Y2K it-girl Lauren Conrad.

Conrad’s participation in the highly anticipated special is particularly exciting, as the reality TV darling-turned fashion designer has kept a low profile for years. Since walking away from the spotlight — in addition to Laguna Beach, she starred on LA-based spinoff The Hills for five years — she’s moved back to her beachside hometown to focus on family and her successful fashion career.

And while this chapter may be quieter than that under the Hollywood glare, make no mistake, Conrad is still busier than ever. She’s currently juggling mom life (she has two sons with husband William Tell), her nonprofit organization The Little Market, which supports artisan-made goods from underserved communities around the world, and two successful collections with Kohls, LC Lauren Conrad and Little Co by Lauren Conrad.

It’s clear fashion has remained a priority for Conrad since those early years on Laguna Beach, where she often spoke about her aspirations to become a designer. Her longstanding partnership with Kohl’s has allowed those dreams to become reality. It’s also made for a full-circle moment, as Conrad released a three-piece capsule collection inspired by the show that changed her life and career.

Ahead, Conrad speaks to TZR about reuniting with her Laguna Beach cast mates, her thoughts on her Y2K style (“ It was a lot of jeans and tank tops and UGG boots”), and how her fashion approach has evolved over the years.

When you think back to your Laguna Beach days, what pieces or trends instantly transport you to that time in your life?

It's sort of funny. I had a conversation with my Kohl's design team about, doing sort of an early aughts capsule in celebration of this reunion. And what we kept coming up against was that so many of these trends are relevant today. I think we're seeing a resurgence of a lot of them. So some of them never left my closet and some I'm seeing again.

But,I think that we dressed a little simpler back then. It was a lot of jeans and tank tops and UGG boots. Obviously, we were all teenagers, so we didn't have very expansive wardrobes. So I'm seeing a lot of the trends back today.

Did you bring those pieces into your Kohl’s three-piece capsule collection?

We were already having a conversation about including some swimwear pieces this summer. We launched them a little bit early and made them pieces that you could tie in with the three items we have that are very [Laguna Beach] branded, and we wanted to go with a logo. We kept going back and forth like, ‘OK, if you love a show and you want to buy a piece to celebrate it, I think you just have to have the name on there.’ So we did two [styles] of a sweatshirt that was really cute, that sort of looked like a little surf team logo and had the original Laguna Beach font on it. Then we did a T-shirt that we wanted to look like an old postcard from Laguna. We wanted to put our own spin on it so it didn't feel like a graphic tee about the show, but it was more of a sort of a wink and a nod.

How would you describe your personal style during the Laguna Beach era?

I was a pretty typical high school student. I wore a lot of C&C tanks, layered them in different color order to try and make it look like different outfits. But I had to pay for my own clothes, so I would save up for a pair of Miss Sixty jeans. We did love platforms, which I can't go back to because I just don't have the balance. But yeah, we didn't wear a lot of prints. It was a little more simplistic.

In rewatching the show, did you have any fashion moments that made you cringe?

Honestly, a lot of my outfits were pretty similar. There was one outfit that stood out: It was a backless halter top and it was a deep plunge, and I had it on with a very skinny stiletto heel and a Miss Sixty jean. But I was going to a coffee house to listen to music. And for me, it was less about the outfit because I probably would've worn that to a club, no problem. But [the look] was just so out of place. And I'm like, ‘Did they tell us where we were going when we were filming this?’ Because we were so glammed up. It's also possible we had plans after that, but that one just always stands out to me where I’m like, ‘Why did I wear that?’

Reflecting from your early TV days to now, have there been any key turning points that have shaped your style? What are some pivotal life shifts that have impacted your fashion approach?

I've always dressed for the life I've lived. When I was growing up and filming our first season of Laguna Beach, I dressed pretty simply. It was a lot of jeans and tank tops. Once I moved to LA and I was filming there, there was a big shift in my wardrobe because I had to go to an office and I was living in a city, and I had a more active nightlife. So I was definitely getting a lot more dressed up and it was so much fun to put together those outfits.

As I’ve gotten older and moved back to my hometown and had kids, I've sort of reverted back to my original style just because this is the life I live. I spend my weekends going to the beach and baseball games and I love it, but I don't have a need for cocktail dresses in my everyday life. Every once in a while I'll get dressed up and I love doing it, but it's just not with the same frequency as it used to be.

What pieces in your current wardrobe feel the most you?

Most of the time, unless it's hot out, I'm usually in a high top [sneaker]. I wear a lot of [Converse] Chuck [Taylors]. I'm about to go to the airport and I'm in Chucks now. Day to day, I like kind of a looser woven pant. I wear a lot of knit tops. I've started getting more dressier tops because I know the going out top is coming back, which I actually really love. And I have a couple of just third layer pieces that I go to. I have this denim jacket that's a more unique cut. It's more of like a shacket. Those are kind of my go-tos. I'm pretty casual.

You’ve worked with Kohl’s since 2009 — that’s a long time! How has it impacted how you view personal style?

When we started out with Kohl's, it was a very narrow selection. And as we've grown, we have to serve a wider audience. We're always seeing trends through a certain filter and we always do our own take on it, but we do have to take into account that while this is a California brand and that's very much our DNA, people all over the country have to be able to wear it. We actually have different versions of pieces that will go to different markets for each season, just depending on sleeve length or weight of fabric. So we have that. We're also taking into consideration different body types. We started out with just straight sizes, and now have both petites and plus, which I really love. I always wanted this to be a brand for everybody. It's just kind of slowly grown over the years and every decision we make is really informed by customer feedback.

What's sort of the biggest career lesson you've learned over the years?

I've learned so many lessons. I think when it comes to fashion, it's important to have a strong identity as a brand. The brands that I go back to the most are ones where I know what I'm going to find. If I'm looking for a good blazer, I go here. If I'm looking for a really good pair of jeans, I go here. I think it's great to be a go-to and have consistency in your brand, but also be able to bring newness so that it's not the same old thing. That's always been a constant balance for us. Another lesson I’ve learned is to look for the white space. If you're ever trying to find something and you can't find it, you're not the only one. So it's important to not just follow other designers, but also create your own mark and fill the white space.

After more than 15 years in fashion, how do you stay inspired?

Well, fortunately the fashion industry is ever-changing. We have a talented team that is always watching trends, paying attention to what's out there. And I think I get to work with a group of people who's really excited to do this. We actually have monthly deliveries. It's not even seasonal. Every month we have a new delivery and a new story and new inspiration. And honestly, it's a group of people who have a lot of fun doing this, which I think is important. But anyone who works in the industry knows that inspiration is everywhere and it's a lot of fun to go find.

Music-lovers, influencers, and celebrities alike have descended upon Indio, California, for weekend one of Coachella 2026 — and Hailey Bieber is among them. While the it girl-turned-entrepreneur is a festival frequent flyer (TBT to her iconic balayage in 2016), this year will be an especially big one for her: Not only is her brand, Rhode, poised to host one of the most highly anticipated activations, but her husband, Justin Bieber, is the most highly anticipated headlining act. To mark the occasion, Ms. Bieber decided to switch things up with her hair, opting for longer lengths and a lighter color.

In an Instagram post shared by hair colorist to the stars Matt Rez, Bieber can be seen applying a glossy, blurred-lip combo with her fresh new ‘do: Long, softly layered extensions, parted down the center, with dimensional blonde highlights mostly framing her face. (It appears as though her base shade has been lightly lifted as well.)

Along with Rez on color, the festival-ready look can be credited to celebrity hairstylist Justine Marjan, who created the cut, and extensions extraordinaire Priscilla Valdes.

The longer, lighter look is a subtle but notable departure from the cool brunette lob Ms. Bieber debuted last December – and, much like how that cut likely launched a thousand salon appointments, something tells me this look is about to keep the extensions experts of the world booked and busy all spring and summer.

Another fun detail of the Instagram post? Take a peek at Ms. Bieber’s cheek, and you’ll spot a Rhode Beauty x The Biebers Pimple Patch — the brand’s first foray into hydrocolloid stickers, designed in collaboration with Mr. Bieber and set to officially launch April 13 on rhodeskin.com.

If you’ve been paying attention to what’s going on in Hollywood, then you’ll know that Zendaya has a lot going at the moment. She just finished an extensive bridal-inspired press tour for The Drama, the dark rom-com she stars in opposite Robert Pattinson, which she executed alongside her pal and stylist Law Roach. Without missing a beat, the pair have already moved onto the much-awaited Euphoria season three premiere that took place on April 7. And yet, somehow, they both still have time for more. On April 9, it was announced that Zendaya co-created a collection with On, the Swiss premium sportswear brand that she already had a multi-year partnership deal with.

Since it wouldn’t be right to have a Zendaya fashion moment without Roach, he was involved in the process, too. Together, the duo had a hand in designing the first ever co-created collection of footwear and apparel for the brand. The announcement came with a three minute campaign film by Academy Award-winning director Spike Jonze titled, Shape of Dreams. In it, Zendaya is seen in “The Dream Lab,” meant to offer a behind the scenes look into the Dune actor’s imaginary design world — with Roach, of course.

“It’s been so much fun to collaborate with Law and the On team on these essentials,” said Zendaya in a press release. “We wanted to create pieces that feel versatile and easy to wear, styles that move with you across different moments,” she continued. Several photos of the seven-piece collection coincided with the news, with Zendaya at the forefront.

The line consists of apparel rooted in timeless style, like a ribbed tank top and T-shirt, an anorak, a coach’s jackets, a midi skirt, parachute pants, and bermuda shorts. They will also introduce a new version of the bestselling Cloudnova sneaker called the Cloudnova Moon.

“This co-created collection marks the next chapter in our creative partnership with Zendaya,” said Alex Griffin, On’s chief marketing officer. “Zendaya’s creative spirit is felt in every detail — shaping how performance and style come together,” Griffin continued.

The collection will be available to shop at on.com and in stores on April 16.

I just know that Nicole Kidman is going to have a Hot Girl Summer. Of course, the A-list Aussie actor is booked and busy as usual; according to IMDB, she’s appearing in at least three television series this year, and Practical Magic 2 is set for release this September. But there’s also just a certain pep in her step these days — Ms. Kidman really seems to be living her best life. She brought that joie de vivre to the April 8 premiere of Margo’s Got Money Troubles, where she wore what might be the twistiest, most creative ponytail I’ve seen this year.

To promote the Apple TV+ series, Kidman hit the pink carpet in New York City with wispy curtain bangs and a high ponytail, courtesy of her longtime hairstylist Adir Abergel. The real focal point of the pony was at the crown, where the hair was twisted in upon itself, almost French Twist-style, before releasing into wavy, loose lengths. It was pulled back relatively loosely, creating a romantic effect with plentiful tendrils.

The “formal-sporty” updo paired perfectly with her ‘fit: A slinky mesh Schiaparelli jacket and skirt set with black and white feather-like details. (Stylist Jason Bolden pulled from the brand’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection.) Peachy-nude makeup by Mary Wiles and a short, milky nude mani rounded out the glam.

Updos in general, and French Twists in particular, are really having a moment right now. And I, for one, am very here for it. What better way to show off a fabulous neckline, gorgeous jewelry, or — of course — a happy, smiling face.

As a beauty veteran, I know better than anyone that fragrance is deeply personal. And as a newly-minted mom of two, I also know that a luxe scent chosen specifically for me ranks among the most coveted gifts I could receive. That’s because a beautiful fragrance has the power to make you feel like the most elevated version of yourself, even on the days when you haven't changed out of sweatpants and there's dried yogurt somewhere in your hair (completely speaking from experience).

All of which is to say: if you're gifting a mom a fragrance this Mother's Day, you've landed in exactly the right place. Because just as no two moms are alike, no two scents are either — and after everything she does, a truly luxurious fragrance isn't just a gift: it's a gesture. Ahead, the very best fragrance for every kind of mom on your list, all available at Ulta Beauty. Bonus: They’re available to buy online and pick up in-store in as little as two hours for those last-minute moments.

Destin De Balmain Eau de Parfum

Destin De Balmain captures that energy of new beginnings and forging your own path. Juicy strawberry brings that bright, fresh energy, peony adds a soft, feminine touch, and sandalwood gives it a warm, grounding finish. It’s a chic, feel-good Mother’s Day gift that celebrates everything that makes her her.

Libre Berry Crush Eau de Parfum

Fruity, floral, and irresistibly warm. Tangy raspberry mingles with soft lavender and orange blossom, then melts into a creamy coconut finish. Sophisticated enough for date night or girls night out, fresh enough to wear every day while she’s wrangling the kids.

Yves Saint Laurent -

Donna Born in Roma Purple Melancholia Eau de Parfum

This rich, enveloping floral feels like it was made for slow mornings and soft lighting (we’re manifesting it). Juicy plum opens alongside delicate osmanthus and jasmine, before settling into the warm, comforting embrace of nostalgic vanilla. The olfactory equivalent of a deep, long exhale.

Valentino -

Burberry Goddess Eau de Parfum

With three different types of vanilla, this fragrance redefines a classic. A wood-based vanilla opens, giving way to a rich, gourmand vanilla caviar at the heart. For the base, a luminous vanilla and lavender confection. Warm, layered, and enchanting, just like mom.

Burberry -

Rose Era Eau de Toilette

She'll take this over an actual bouquet any day. A dewy, watery rose that’s anything but expected — silky petals meet fresh clean laundry, with playful top notes of strawberry and pear grounded by the soft muskiness of ambrette seeds. It’s romantic, but very modern.

Snif -

Rinse Cycle Eau de Parfum

Because she knows the power of starting fresh. Rinse Cycle opens with juicy guava and crisp pear for a just-showered brightness, and a creamy musk flower heart brings that clean, soft-laundry warmth. Sandalwood is the anchor, grounding and quietly magnetic.

NOYZ -

Paradoxe Eau de Parfum

For the woman who contains multitudes. A modern classic that plays with contrast, it opens with bright neroli bud, capturing a crisp, airy freshness that feels both clean and luminous. At the heart, delicate white florals bloom, before melting into a warm, skin-like base of amber and soft musk that lingers with a subtle, enveloping intensity.

Prada -

Flowerbomb Pretty Peony Eau de Parfum

This will get her in touch with the girlhood that never really left her with its feminine and timeless vibe. Juicy strawberry opens bright and playful, and a pretty peony heart brings beautiful, blooming depth.

We’re in the home stretch, everyone. Sure, it may still be quite chilly in some parts of the country, but with spring well underway, summer is in sight. With that in mind, perhaps you're finalizing a slate of outdoor trips and outings — and, naturally, your warm-weather wardrobe. When it comes to the latter, the April 2026 fashion news has you more than covered, with brands releasing a wave of must-have collections and collaborations this month.

One such label is FARM Rio. Beloved for its vibrant colors and attention-commanding prints, the brand teamed up with Rip Curl — an iconic Australian surf brand with equally bold designs — on a feel-good assortment of beach necessities, including swimwear, tees, pants, and hats. In a similar vein, if hiking is more your speed, you’ll have a hard time choosing just one piece from FP Movement and Cotopaxi’s collaboration — think trail-ready bags, hats, and even packing cubes. Of course, you needn’t be the outdoorsy type to revel in April’s fashion news. Perhaps Ganni’s Mini Hobo bag campaign starring True Whitaker will spark sartorial inspiration.

Ahead, find a full breakdown of the fashion news worth knowing about this April. And, as always, bookmark this post as it’ll be updated throughout the coming weeks.

FARM Rio Designs A Surf Collection With Rip Curl

Surf season is upon us, and FARM Rio’s latest collaboration has everything you need to shred in style. On April 1, the whimsical label debuted a collection in partnership with Rip Curl. “Many attributes could justify the collaboration between FARM Rio and Rip Curl, but the most important of all is passion: two brands built by people who are passionate about their own lifestyles and the products that express them,” Gabriel Oliveira, FARM Rio’s branding director, said in a press release. Together, they released colorful, print-heavy wet suits, swim jackets and shorts, bikinis, tees, and more beach-day essentials.

True Whitaker Fronts Ganni’s Latest Campaign

True Whitaker, a rising actor best known for her role in HBO’s I Love LA, fronted Ganni’s latest campaign spotlighting the brand’s Mini Hobo Bag. The smallest silhouette in Ganni’s Hobo lineup, the style arrives in new colors, textures, and eye-catching finishes. Lensed by Gray Sorrenti, the emerging it-girl showcases a range of iterations, from a leopard-print version to a rich red style. She’s a bona fide Ganni girl.

FP Movement & Cotopaxi Launch Outdoor Gear

Finding cute outdoor gear can feel nearly impossible — that was, until FP Movement and Cotopaxi came together to design a playful collection of hiking essentials. For those who enjoy hitting the trails, check out the line’s travel backpack, roomy shoulder bag, five-panel hat, and packing cubes. Don’t be surprised if your fellow outdoors enthusiasts start asking about your new colorful staples.

STAUD Enters The Home Space

After winning over the fashion crowd for its bold ready-to-wear and statement accessories, STAUD is venturing into homeware. On April 7, the Los Angeles-based label launched its inaugural home collection, spanning ceramics, leather goods, and textile pieces. “STAUD has always been about more than just your wardrobe, it’s about a point of view and a way of living,” Sarah ‘Staud’ Staudinger, co-founder and creative director of STAUD, shared in a statement.

“Over the past ten years, we’ve been building the world of STAUD piece by piece.” The expansion feels like a natural progression, as Staudinger is an artist in her own right, with a passion for ceramics. “This collection is especially personal to me because it was inspired in part by my own growing interest in ceramics and the kinds of objects that make a space feel unique and alive,” she added.

Last night, serial entrepreneur, philanthropist, and host of the Aspire Podcast Emma Grede added one more title to an already extremely impressive resume: author. On April 7, longtime friends Nicole Avant, Aurora James, Juliet de Baubigny, and Rachel Zoe threw Grede an intimate book launch at Funke in Beverly Hills. Grede’s first book, Start With Yourself: A New Vision for Work & Life — set to be released on April 14 — is a guide for anyone seeking success in business from one of the most successful self-made women in the world.

And you can imagine that such an anomaly of a person would be surrounded by an equally extraordinary group of guests. The celebration drew a curated group of leaders across fashion, media, and business, all coming together to toast a woman who has built not one, but multiple iconic brands from the ground up. As co-founder and CEO of Good American and a founding partner of SKIMS, Grede has long proven that her instincts for culture, commerce, and community are second to none — and her debut book promises to pass that wisdom on to the next generation of go-getters.

Celebrities like Lake Bell, Kathy Hilton, and Aurora James (founder of The Fifteen Percent Pledge, for which Grede serves as Chairwoman), were just some of the VIP guests who arrived at the stylish Italian rooftop in a show of support. Keep scrolling to see who else is in Grede’s inner-most circle —and in two weeks, you can be, too.

At this point, you’ve felt the shift that happens at the top of April. The temps pivot — ever so slightly — and your daily need for heavy outerwear and numerous layers starts to wane. A desire to be frolicking outside, footloose and fancy-free, starts to settle in, signaling a fresh season of carefree weekends with friends, music, and crisp cocktail sipping. Sure, those of a more technical mindset will label said season spring. But others, including The Zoe Report’s founder and editor-at-large Rachel Zoe, know this time of year as the official start of festival season. Kicking off with iconic desert extravaganzas Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival and Stagecoach Music Festival, the early weeks of spring are a true celebration of the arts, not to mention a fashion spectacle. And while each year sees a new wave of festival style trends, Zoe says the season’s looks and sartorial sentiments are fairly consistent.

“The trends don’t change that much,” she says. “It’s really just tons and tons of fringe and suede and bralettes and denim shorts [during the day]. And by night, tons of sparkle and over-the-top accessories — sunnies at night and lots of boots.”

That said, like with any season, certain standout looks and pieces emerge from the traditional tropes, and this year is no different. Ahead, Zoe, a longtime festival enthusiast, breaks down the 2026 trends that will likely reign supreme on festival grounds from the mystic California desert to the epic fields of Belgium.

Fringe

With the boho aesthetic in full force for 2026, Zoe confirms that “endless amounts of fringe” is at the top of the trend menu for daytime frolicking. The beauty of this buzzy detail is its versatility. You can go big with a fringe-covered jacket or top or go more subtle with a neutral-colored handbag.

Denim On Denim

When it comes to festival denim looks, you can never have too much of a good thing. Zoe cosigns denim on denim for a fun Americana moment. For chillier nights, denim pants and a coordinating top or jacket will allow for some warmth. For hotter days, go for a short co-ord that pairs nicely with boots.

Fun Knits

Considering festival season encompasses spring and summer, breathable — yet festive — fabrics are essential. This is why easy woven materials like cotton eyelet and knits like crochet are especially apropos for desert dancing, according to Zoe. These separates are easily paired with denim, leather, suede, and everything else in your arsenal, making them the ultimate workhorses for any festival outfit.

Go-Big Accessories

Music festivals are where people go to stand out and make a statement. Zoe loves over-the-top accessories like cowboy hats, “layers and layers of jewelry,” and statement waist belts. And while in everyday life you might pick one statement piece for an ensemble, festival grounds are an “everything goes” environment, where you can lean into multiple pieces without a worry of leaning too maximalist.

To say fans are excited about Euphoria Season 3 would be a massive understatement. After a four-year hiatus, the acclaimed HBO series, created by Sam Levinson, is finally set to return on April 12. To mark the long-awaited new installment — potentially its final chapter — the star-studded cast, including Zendaya, Maude Apatow, Hunter Schafer, Jacob Elordi, Alexa Demie, and Sydney Sweeney, stepped out for the premiere last night at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles.

The red carpet doubled as a full-fledged fashion affair, with each star dressed to impress. Ditching her run of bridal white looks, Zendaya dropped jaws in a slinky chocolate-brown gown from Ashi Studio’s spring 2026 couture collection, paired with her sleek pixie cut. Apatow, too, tapped the recent runways, opting for a voluminous black number courtesy of Celine’s spring 2026 line. Others dipped into the fashion archives for the occasion: Demie slipped into a black-and-white striped vintage Bob Mackie creation, while Sweeney donned a white cape-style Pierre Cardin dress from 2007. And lest we forget about Jacob Elordi, one of the best-dressed men in Hollywood right now. The actor, per usual, flocked to Bottega Veneta for his ensemble, choosing a sharp black suit.

Ahead, see what every cast member wore to the show’s Season 3 premiere last night. The chaos and drama of Euphoria is back — brace yourself.

The word “iconic” gets thrown around with a little too much frequency. But by its very definition — “a person or thing widely admired, especially for having great influence or significance in a particular sphere,” per Merriam-Webster — Paris Hilton more than qualifies. The preeminent celebutante of the aughts, Hilton has been coining catchphrases, selling out sweatsuits, and causing all that conversation since skyrocketing to fame with 2003’s The Simple Life. Over the ensuing quarter-century, she’s transformed that celebrity into a veritable business empire, one that encompasses fragrance, skin care, a music career, and much more — all rooted in her reputation as the face of 21st-century blonde ambition.

So, naturally, there couldn’t be a more, well, iconic spokesperson to front Paul Mitchell’s Stay Golden campaign. Taking inspiration from the brand’s 1980s Los Angeles roots, the deeply California-coded images take Hilton from the lifeguard station to a drop-top convertible, all with wavy flaxen locks. “It’s very L.A.,” Hilton tells me on a call. “I feel like we captured the Hollywood glamour, blonde-bombshell-meets-beachy vibes … It just means so much to me to partner with Paul Mitchell because they are such an iconic brand that I grew up using.”

The campaign highlights a suite of 10 care, color, and styling products designed specifically for blondes, ranging from shampoo and conditioner to sprays and foams. “I love this whole collection,” says Hilton. “I think it’s so special that Paul Mitchell created an entire collection for blondes. And I’m so proud of how the entire campaign turned out.”

Ahead, Hilton shares her go-to hair tips, reflections on her most legendary blonde moment, the high-tech skin care tools she’s currently “sliving” for, and more.

Do you have any favorites from the collection?

I am in love with the Forever Blonde Shampoo and Conditioner. They’re my go-tos for keeping my hair bright, healthy, and blonde. And my favorite product in the collection is probably the 15-In-1 Spray. Being a mom, a CEO, a pop star, a DJ, an advocate, a designer, and the other million things I do, I’m always on the go and very busy. So I really love it when a product multitasks with me and just keeps my hair super healthy and strong. I’m just loving the whole collection and being the face of it.

You have been many shades of blonde over the years — but do you have any particular favorite?

I really love platinum blonde, especially my little bob era in the 2000s. I think that was such a moment. Recently, I have been doing the platinum blonde look, which I love. It’s just so bright and beautiful. And I always come back to my Y2K blonde waves. I think they’re timeless, and I always feel really confident [in them]. Experimenting with different blonde looks has always been so much fun for me. I always love surprising my fans with new looks.

What’s your number one tip for maintaining blonde hair?

I’m constantly doing my hair for photo shoots, red carpets, events, and everything else. So protection is super important, especially being blonde. I’m always looking for formulas that are nourishing and have multiuse benefits. And again, the Forever Blonde Shampoo and Conditioner, they really just keep my hair so bright and feeling healthy. Hydration is also super important, so I’m obsessed with the 15-In-1 Mask. It really works, and it’s just the perfect mask for blondes.

Circling back a little bit, you talked about your Y2K blonde. Y2K in general is having such a moment right now, as I’m sure you know. Are there any trends from the era that haven’t come back yet that you’d like to see make a return?

I love that Y2K beauty is having such a big moment again. It’s so nostalgic for me. And I feel like I’m the face of Y2K beauty and fashion. So I love it. And something I would love to see more of is the crimped, wavy hair. I feel like I’m going to start seeing it more now that Coachella and festival season are about to start. It just looks like a mermaid goddess, and I’m obsessed with that. And I feel like we did that in the campaign, [and it] looked so, so gorgeous.

Are there any current beauty trends that you’re “sliving” for at the moment?

I’m such an undercover nerd, and I’m obsessed with all of the latest technology, gadgets, and high-tech beauty equipment. I’m obsessed with red light therapy, and this red light bed called the NeoLight. I go in it every single morning. I love the red light sauna. And then I have this cryotherapy machine, CryoBuilt, which is amazing. I do that every morning and sometimes at night as well. And my number one thing is my hyperbaric chamber, which is an oxygen chamber, the number one thing for longevity. I’m obsessed with all of it.

What beauty product has been in your rotation the longest?

The Paul Mitchell Extra-Body Sculpting Foam [is] just one of those products that I’ve always loved. It gives my hair volume and structure, but it still feels soft and touchable. So I love that one.

Your fragrances are also legendary. And I have to ask: How do you pick which one to wear? Is it kind of a vibes-based thing, or do you have specific fragrances that you wear for specific occasions?

It depends. I’m really lucky, I’m about to release my 32nd fragrance. So I literally have more than enough for every day of the month. I love it. I’m very vibes-based: what is happening, what kind of mood I’m in, or if it’s date night. Iconic is my newest one, and I am obsessed with it. I wear it every single day. I love it. It just puts me in the best mood. And I love when people ask me, “What’s the name of it? Oh my God, you smell so amazing! What’s your fragrance?” I’m like, “Iconic.” It just sounds amazing.

I created one of my fragrances, called Love Rush, for my wedding, and it’s the one I wore on my wedding day. So when I’m feeling romantic or going on date night with Carter, I love to wear that one, because I feel like a fragrance is one of your most important accessories and your trademark. And I love that all of my perfumes are from different eras of my life, and they all have special memories. It makes me so proud to have created such an incredible perfume empire.

Are you into layering? I feel like on TikTok, the girls are all about layering fragrances these days.

Yeah, I love layering. And since I have so many to layer with, it’s a lot of fun. And I love layering Iconic with Love Rush. It smells epic.

What are three skin care products that you would never go without in the summertime?

I’m obsessed with everything from my skin care line, Parívie. I’ve always been obsessed with skin care, so this is something that I put my all into. And I never go without my Parívie That’s Radiant Daily Purifying Cleanser. It removes everything, all your makeup. It doesn’t dry out your skin, which is so important in the summer. And I also am obsessed with my Parívie That’s Smooth Skin Perfecting Elixir. It just keeps my skin looking bright and even, and it’s amazing. And lastly, my new Parívie That’s Cool Daily Eye Cream, which I just released this month, and it’s just epic. It makes your eyes look refreshed, it feels cool when you put it on, and everyone has just been loving [it], so I’m really proud of it and can’t wait to make more products.

Who would you say are your summer icons?

Marilyn Monroe has always been one of my biggest inspirations. I just always loved her Old Hollywood glamour, and she’s just so gorgeous, and iconic, and timeless. I’ve looked up to her my whole life.

To wrap things up: How would you describe your summer 2026 vibe?

“Sliving for a living.”

Perfect. That will also be my summer 2026 vibe.

Loves it.

A key component of pop superstardom is having a look: A signature, guiding aesthetic that runs through the costumes, the makeup, the visual media, and, of course, the hair. Take Sabrina Carpenter. The precision of her cheeky, pastel-colored, “hyper-feminine with a very large wink” pop-star persona is as recognizable as her bubblegum hits — and her very big, very blonde hair. So when she does a complete 180 from that look — like, say, donning a duo of black wigs for the cover(s) of Perfect magazine — it’s all but guaranteed to make a statement.

The Short n’ Sweet singer graces not one, not two, but eight separate covers of the British ‘zine, shot by photographer Bryce Anderson and styled by Katie Grand. While Carpenter dons her go-to flaxen hue on most (styled straight, teased, and even in a pixie cut), for two of them, she takes a walk on the dark side: Specifically, a short, curly black wig with mid-century Sophia Loren vibes, and a blunt–banged style with stick-straight lengths.

The looks are a dramatic departure from the ‘70s-esque blowout that’s become her signature — but they have convinced me that if she ever did decide to embark on a dark hair phase, honestly, it’d be a vibe.

Carpenter’s glam was credited to a suite of longtime collaborators: Hairstylist Evanie Frausto, who designed the various memorable mane moments; nail artist Zola Ganzorigt, who gave the star a dark and moody mani that paired particularly well with the blunt bang wig; and makeup artist Carolina Gonzalez, who created several smudgy, smoky eye looks.

Along with the shoot, Carpenter’s Perfect issue includes an interview conducted by none other than Marc Jacobs. The magazine is available for pre-order now, with copies set to ship starting mid-May.

There was never any doubt that the press tour for The Devil Wears Prada 2 was going to be major. In a post Barbie, Wuthering Heights, and The Drama world, there’s a new method of promoting films, where the clothes (and the puns) are intended. In this case, the combination of the reprisal of the beloved 2006 film, the high-fashion themes that are inherent to the plot, and the cast’s star power, were guaranteed to deliver. But on April 7, something happened that exceeded all expectations: Vogue dropped their May cover featuring the film’s Meryl Streep alongside the (alleged) real life inspiration for Miranda Priestly — the editor-in-chief — Anna Wintour.

In her almost 40 years at the helm, Wintour had never appeared on the magazine’s cover — that is, until today. Lensed by Annie Liebovitz, styled by Grace Coddington, interviewed by Barbie’s Greta Gerwig (who directed Streep in Little Women), and written by Wintour’s successor, Chloe Malle, the world was “Seeing Double” — as the cover story was aptly titled. In Malle’s editor’s letter, she recalled an October 2025 conversation that she had with Wintour in the back of a cab in Paris while brainstorming spring cover ideas.

Malle floated the idea of Wintour being on the cover with Streep, but was politely turned down. “Months later, it turned out to be Meryl who finally convinced her, and I am so grateful,” Malle wrote in the letter. Both women wore Prada, of course, as a nod to the forthcoming movie.

It seems that Wintour is fully embracing her satirical character while remarking on what she actually liked about the 2006 original. “It showed the world what a huge business fashion is. It’s a true economic force globally, and the first film acknowledged that,” said Wintour.

In addition, just last month, Wintour appeared alongside the film’s other lead, Anne Hathaway at the 98th Academy Awards to present the award for best Costume Design. The two walked out to an acoustic version of “Vogue” by Madonna, which also plays during Hathaway’s character Any Sachs’ makeover montage in The Devil Wears Prada.

If Wintour, Streep, and Hathaway have already gotten fans this excited ahead of film’s May 1 premiere, there’s no telling what else is to come — especially since Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci haven’t yet joined in on the fun.

Is the Diazassance upon us? It’s looking like yes. After a decade focusing on family (I was today years old when I found out that she and husband Benji Madden have not one but two young children) and business ventures (she co-founded wine brand Avaline in 2020), one of the brightest stars of the 1990s and early 2000s has returned to the silver screen; and, by extension, the press circuit. On April 6, Diaz attended one such promotional event — the New York City premiere of her new film, Outcome — in bright red lips that matched her bright red heels.

The crimson lips were the focal point of what was otherwise relatively low-key glam: Radiant, satin-y skin, soft, rosy blush, and the softest touch of shimmer on the lids, courtesy of makeup artist Melanie Inglessis. The lippie paired perfectly with her bright red pumps, with both providing a pop of color against her black Fforme dress and turtleneck.

Not only did the red accent her black ensemble — it also landed her a coveted spot on the list of celebs enjoying matchy-matchy makeup moments. She joins such esteemed company as Chase Infiniti and Wunmi Mosaku, who matched their eyeshadow to their dresses at the 98th Academy Awards; Zendaya, who just hit the red carpet with bright blue lids and a bright blue dress; and Selena Gomez, who wore a face full of pink makeup to match her pink Prada mini dress at a recent Rare Beauty launch event. It’s safe to say that matchy-matchy makeup is having a moment. (Though maybe don’t try saying that three times fast.)

Diaz might actually be on a bit of a red shoe kick: Last week, she donned an oversized white Calvin Klein suit and red heels by Jude for an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

The arrival of a new season is a signal to rework your wardrobe to reflect the changing weather outside. With the onset of balmy spring days, it’s only natural to shift to lightweight jackets and sweaters, and the same is true for your skin care routine. Those rich, heavy creams and face oils that satiated your dry skin in January aren’t as useful come May. In short, it’s time to transition your skin care routine for spring.

Seasonally adjusting the lineup of your daily regimen can benefit the overall health of your skin as well as your particular concerns. During the winter, there’s more exposure to cold air, which can be harsh and result in dehydrated skin, so it’s only natural to use thick emollients to lock in moisture. Although during the spring, moist air allows the skin to retain water much easier, it can also increase oil production, leading to congestion and clogged pores. In addition, warm weather activities present more opportunities for sun damage.

Swapping out creams for gel-based moisturizers might seem obvious but it’s just one of many tweaks that are necessary as the season begins. Ahead, TZR spoke with top dermatologists for their expert advice on how to modify your routine for spring.

Exfoliate More Often

Regardless of the time of year, exfoliation is an important step that you should regularly implement into your routine. However, the shift in temperature can dictate which method you choose and how often you do it. With drier skin during the winter, you might be tempted to slough off the layers that have built up, but dermatologists agree that spring is actually the ideal time to amp up exfoliation.

Throughout the colder months, the skin barrier is more susceptible to damage — which often means exfoliation is performed gently. In tandem with the weather, this can leave a thick coating of dead cells on the surface of the skin. Heading into the warm weather, it’s a good idea to increase exfoliation to two to three times a week in order remove the old buildup. “This season is an excellent time to start shedding away some of those layers in order to prepare for glowing summer skin,” says Dr. Marisa Garshick, M.D, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City.

Switch To A Lightweight Cleanser

Similar to adjusting your moisturizer, switching to a lighter cleanser can be beneficial for oilier skin types. Garshick suggests opting for a foaming or gel-based cleanser such as La Roche Posay Effaclar Gel Cleanser. “Cream-based cleansers can be essential for retaining moisture but they create excess buildup if you already have oily skin, this cleanser helps get rid of oils while still moisturizing the skin,” she says.

Dr. Gary Goldfaden M.D., head dermatologist and founder of Goldfaden MD, tells TZR that the rise in humidity also allows the skin to produce more natural oils which can lead to breakouts if left to accumulate.

Incorporate Hydrating Serums

It’s important to note the increase in the air’s moisture levels doesn’t mean skin needs any less hydration. Instead of using a face oil to secure water and ensure plump skin, swap in a hydrating serum instead. “Serums can be the perfect addition to your lineup without making you feel like you’ll turn into a ball of grease as you walk outside,” says board-certified dermatologist Dr. Jenny Liu, M.D.

She recommends layering serums with different key ingredients to boost water levels in the skin and increase radiance. A go-to of hers for spring is No7’s Lift & Luminate Triple Action Face Serum which contains vitamins A, C, and E for improving tone and giving a nice glow.

Transition To Lightweight Moisturizers

Making small tweaks to your moisturizer, such as switching from a rich cream to a light gel, can make all the difference as the temperatures start to spike. For oily-combination skin, this means moving to moisturizers that are oil-free. “With an uptick in production, a gel-based cream would be the best way to guarantee skin is replenished without the threat of looking too greasy,” says Liu.

Consistency and texture will be the main change here as your skin will still need those key ingredients. Goldfaden recommends opting for moisturizers formulated with immune boosting and hydrating elements like vitamin D, hyaluronic acid, omega fatty acids, and vitamin A. “Hyaluronic acid is a miracle ingredient to use this time of year because it binds and locks in moisture to prevent dehydration, while vitamin D delivers immunity without having to get it from the sun,” he says.

Use Proper Sun Protection

Without a doubt, all dermatologists agree that sunscreen is an all-year-long kind of product. And it goes without saying that as you begin to venture outside more often it’s important to use the right products. “An SPF of 30 or more is the minimum you’ll need for adequate protection with two finger lengths worth of product that you should reapply every two hours especially when in direct exposure to sunlight,” says Liu.

Discovering and defining one’s unique way of getting dressed is a deeply introspective business. So it says a lot about mega-connector Jolie Hunt’s sense of self that she has no trouble summing up the sartorial impression she leaves on the world in three evocative words. “Vixen boss lady,” she says matter-of-factly with a knowing smile. Then she stands to show me her current outfit via Zoom: a flirty Balmain minidress and sheer Saint Sass hosiery. “That’s where I am in this moment in time.”

Hunt’s wardrobe has received much attention as of late, including a profile in Business Insider. “I’m in my fashion era for sure,” she says, sounding both introspective and bemused. Her sharply tuned perspective on clothing has been decades in the making — she’s always taken the time to put effort into creating a memorable look, right down to the sparkle-embellished caftans she wore throughout her pregnancies. However, she says, there have been times that her style predilections have been forced to sit on the back burner.

“When I was running communications at the Financial Times at 25, I would’ve never shown my arms at the office,” she says. In many respects, she thinks age 47 is the ideal time to find one’s fashion footing because you’re more likely to have the financial means to support it — and the take-no-prisoners self-assurance that comes with age and life experience.

“I definitely spent my earlier career trying to play down ever being mistaken for being too sexy or in the room because of anything other than intellect and grit,” she says of her start, which included stints at Thomson Reuters and IBM before she became chief marketing and communications officer for AOL. This past hesitation has made her fearless outfit choices all the more satisfying. “I can take more risks, and I think doing that in my mid-40s is so interesting.”

For all her cool and collected confidence, Hunt is well-acquainted with the psychic overwhelm that comes from managing both a demanding job and a busy family. She begins to tell me about the transformative last decade of her life: the ways she felt like her body wasn’t her own after she began having children; how she was diagnosed with breast cancer right after the birth of her second baby, a theft of physical autonomy in its own right.

All the while, she was busy steering the helm of the rapidly growing strategic communications firm she launched in 2014, Hunt & Gather, which advises some of the most influential companies in the world (including Google, Weight Watchers, Hermès, and Cisco). After going through treatment and getting a clean bill of health — and seeing her son and daughter, now 11 and 8, respectively, through their baby and toddler years — she is ready to prioritize herself.

“I turned 45 and was like, ‘I’ve been taking care of everyone else. I’ve been building my business. I’ve been building my family. I’ve been building my home,” she tells me reflectively. “All of a sudden I was like, ‘I’m now going to focus that kind of energy and care inward.’”

Enter a daily fitness routine Hunt puts on hold for no one, with an emphasis on protecting her mind and bodily well-being at all costs. “I got in really good shape,” she says. “And without sounding twee, it’s a powerful journey to [realize] if you invest enough time, energy, and resources to prioritize your health, beautiful things can happen.” One obvious benefit of her fitness routine was that clothes began to fit Hunt differently. But the real fashion transformation came from a newfound self-possession to dress as extravagantly as she wanted without fear of judgment.

Balmain, Pucci, Fendi, Balenciaga: These are just a few of the bold statement brands that dominate Hunt’s closet. While she’s always appreciated a designer moment, Hunt says this is the first time in her life that she’s fully felt free to indulge in a label’s sauciest offerings. A self-described dress devotee who lives and dies by theme and color coordination, she leans into all things bright, short, and fitted, finished with heels — always. (“Flats make me sad,” she tells me via email a few days later.) These sensibilities were on full display for Hunt’s photo shoot, which spotlights some of her favorite pieces, including a belted body-con Balmain LBD and crystal-encrusted Fleur du Mal mesh set, as well as a satisfying sampling of her extensive designer bag collection.

Although the shoot was a fun celebration of sultry, look-at-me fashion, the affair carried significant emotional weight for Hunt. “It was kind of [weird] for me because it was the anniversary of the day I was diagnosed with breast cancer after my daughter was born,” says Hunt. These types of dates can make one reflective of how far they’ve come, and the things they’ve endured. In Hunt’s case, the correlation on the calendar elevated the experience of being photographed for something so fun and playful to reflect the strong and beautiful place — mentally and physically — she’s in now.

“It wound up being so joyous, and I felt like the whole crew was rooting for me, in a weird way,” Hunt says, recalling that she had a bit of impostor syndrome before arriving on set. “At first I was like, ‘Who do I think I am? Am I trying to pretend I’m someone that I’m not?’ And I’m definitely a kind of self-evolved, confident person, so I rarely [feel that way].”

In many respects, getting dressed just the way she pleases is an outward representation of how Hunt’s living the rest of her life: with an emphasis on delight and an embrace of all things pleasurable… because who knows what tomorrow holds? This mindset permeates every detail of how she presents to the world, right down to coordinating her workout outfits, which range from bold tangerine sets to Lurex gold separates, and working with a professional team every morning on hair and makeup.

At this last detail, I audibly gasp. I’m both envious of the sheer luxury of daily at-home glam and impressed by the way Hunt doesn’t feel a need to downplay it. As she points out herself during our talk, she is “not a famous person” who spends the majority of her time in front of a camera. But she counsels some of the world’s most prominent CEOs, founders, and editors, and has worked extraordinarily hard to have the means to afford this small everyday indulgence… so why should she not enjoy it? As women, we are often expected to show our worth through suffering or apologize for putting ourselves first, and to blatantly flout these norms is a small but radical act. She laughs at my expression of shock and starts to explain how it helps her save time. I cut her off to say there’s no explanation needed — I’m a bit jealous, and also aspire to channel the same “vixen boss lady” energy in my life.

Moments later, Hunt explains that she has to run to another meeting she’s scheduled for right after our chat. We both have deadlines and travel coming up in the next few weeks, so we smile and wave, wishing each other the best with our ever-present to-do lists. The next morning, I wake up early and crack open my laptop to email Hunt a thank-you for her time. A few minutes later, her response pings through from an airport on the other side of the world, where she is country-hopping in Asia with her family for spring break. Over the course of her flight, she’s thought a bit more about why her style resonates with others.

“I say the thing that people wouldn’t dare say; I wear the thing you wish you could but don’t have the courage to pull off; and I think above all else I use humor and absolute candor in my everyday, always,” she writes, continuing to explain that she thinks that perhaps the real charm of her signature look is that she doesn’t take it — or herself — too seriously.

“Fashion, as it was historically presented, always signaled restraint or meanness or unreachable wealth, and I’ve definitely tried to redefine how it can be bold and whimsical, joyous, and fierce,” she says.

“It’s armor, but sometimes that armor is pliable, pink, and completely extra.”

With In Her Closet, The Zoe Report invites readers into the personal wardrobes of tastemakers and industry leaders for a closer look at the journeys behind their style. From early influences to signature staples, the series reveals how each subject’s closet tells the story of who they are and how they got there.

Even while she’s off the clock, Kylie Jenner always manages to put together a buzzy, on-trend look — no matter how far back in the vintage archives she has to go. On April 5, Jenner shared photos from Easter, celebrating the holiday surrounded by her family, including all of her sisters. And since we know the Kardashian-Jenner clan don’t take holidays lightly, it was the perfect festive occasion for the Kylie Cosmetics founder to sport a rare Y2K-era floral print blouse from 2002.

The Christian Dior top was sourced from God of Cloth, a boutique based in Salt Lake City, Utah. This isn’t the first (or even second) time that Jenner has discovered a good top from the vintage purveyors, either. Back in 2024 she wore a black Alexander McQueen 1999 lace blouse from them, and most recently, an archival lace up fringe jacket from Donatella Versace’s Spring/Summer 2002 — also worn by best friend Hailey Bieber for her 29th birthday celebration a few months prior.

The Galliano-era wrap design from the Spring/Summer ’02 line featured a plunging neckline lined with ruffle in a cherry blossom print — right on theme for the new season ahead. Jenner paired the top with a belly chain around her waist as well as white jeans, which she intentionally folded over.

The next day, Jenner shared more poolside photos from her weekend, this time in nothing but a white string bikini.

She was still, however, wearing her early aughts-inspired belly chain.

After spending Easter out of the spotlight for the past two years, Kate Middleton and Prince William — joined by their three kids, Charlotte, Louis, and George — resumed their usual festivities yesterday, attending a service at St George’s Chapel, Windsor. Never one to shy away from wearing her wardrobe mainstays, the Princess of Wales opted for a cream Self-Portrait skirt suit, which she was last seen wearing in 2022 for a visit to the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists alongside Princess Anne.

The outfit in question featured a form-fitting tailored blazer adorned with two front pockets and lace appliqués, cinched with a coordinating belt. On the bottom, Middleton slipped into a matching flowy midi skirt. While her two-piece look may have been plucked from her closet, the royal did debut a new piece for the occasion — a statement hat courtesy of milliner Juliette Botterill. Coordinating with her cream look, the teardrop-shaped design was festooned with hand-cut oak leaves. Middleton is no stranger to the London-based label, having stepped out in several of the brand’s hats over the years, including a bright blue wide-brim style at the 2025 Trooping the Colour event.

Middleton further accented her Easter mass ensemble with a Nano Montreal bag from her go-to label, DeMellier, and brown leather Ralph Lauren pumps. For jewelry, the Princess of Wales opted for Bahrain pearl drop earrings — one of her most beloved pieces — along with an Annoushka diamond eternity ring and a second sapphire-and-diamond eternity ring from G. Collins & Sons.

Middleton’s 10-year-old daughter followed a similar color palette, wearing a latte-and-chocolate brown coat dress layered over a breezy white frock. Meanwhile, Prince Louis and Prince George coordinated with their father, Prince William, in sharp navy suits. For the Easter service, Middleton and Prince William were joined by King Charles, Queen Camilla, and other members of the royal family. As noted, the couple skipped the annual tradition over the past two years — in 2024, Middleton was undergoing cancer treatment, while in 2025, they celebrated privately at their Norfolk country home. It’s safe to say fans were eager for their return.

When it comes to online shopping, there’s an overabundance of options to sift there. In its Fitting Room series, The Zoe Report editors do the legwork for you by highlighting a brand or collection worth knowing, trying key pieces on a variety of body sizes and shapes.

No one does accessories quite like Mansur Gavriel. Founded by Rachel Mansur and Floriana Gavriel in 2012, the New York-based label championed quiet luxury long before it became an industry buzzword, launching sleek, no-fuss leather handbags and shoes. Over the years, its birthed a handful of beloved it items, from its signature bucket bags to glove-style ballet flats. As for its latest rollout? The Zoe Report’s editors would argue that the brand’s spring 2026 accessories are better than ever.

Some of our team test-drove Mansur Gavriel’s cult-favorite handbags — many of which have since secured a permanent place in their rotations. Skipping the brand’s signature pared-back styles, editors leaned into more playful options, from pony hair to striped carryalls. Others turned their attention to the shoes: This fashion writer can’t stop raving about the thong sandals, while editorial director Angela Melero has been turning to the brand’s kitten heels non-stop. Regardless of your fashion sensibility, the label’s newest accents are worth every penny — if you ask us.

Scroll onward to see how six of our team members styled Mansur Gavriel’s spring 2026 accessories.

Angela Melero, Editorial Director

“No joke, I think I've worn these shoes every other day since receiving them. I thought the orange-y red, chili pepper shade might make them tricky to style, but I was mistaken. I've paired them with an all-white trouser and button-down monochrome ensemble, allowing the footwear to serve as the welcome pop of color. I've also jumped on the “wrong-shoe theory” bandwagon, wearing them with baggy camo-print denim shorts to give an otherwise casual, androgynous look a more feminine touch. Also, the kitten heel and back strap make them super comfy, so I can wear them all day while bouncing from one appointment to the next without a pinch or blister. Win-win, right?”

“Animal print accessories have been my go-to during cold-weather months, but this season I'm bringing the printed staple into spring. Mansur Gavriel’s Filo bag in black and white is the perfect bridge — the tactile, lived-in pony hair texture feels intentional, while the slim, structured silhouette transfers effortlessly into warmer days. I styled it against a fitted black hourglass blazer and sleek stirrup leggings, letting the bag have its moment. I lightened up the whole look with a pair of crisp white pointed-toe pumps, which felt like a refreshing contrast.”

“I was looking for a pair of classic black pumps, and the Anna Kitten did not disappoint. The leather feels — and looks — high-quality (unsurprisingly, I did have to wear them a couple of times before they felt truly comfortable), and the pointy-toe silhouette is so sophisticated. Once I had broken them in, the slingback felt super comfortable and didn’t dig in at all; same for the vamp. Interestingly, in wearing these, I've discovered that I find a kitten heel slightly trickier to walk in than a block heel; my foot slid off the back of the shoe a few times when walking. But I’m pretty sure that’s on me, and I’d wager experienced kitten wearers will be totally fine. I really liked how these looked with a satin skirt and tee, and I loved how they looked with wide-leg jeans. I can't wait to try them with lacy satin shorts and black stockings.”

“The Gaia Shoulder Bag is my new 24/7 accessory — it’s sleek and dressy enough to wear on nights out, but it’s roomy enough to hold all of my daytime essentials. I first took the bag for a spin on a workday and I was surprised I could comfortably fit my medium-sized wallet, sunglasses, phone, lipstick, and keys inside. Beyond the versatile shape and size, the colorful leather patchwork design feels so unique and will complement a range of outfits, whether you lean maximalist or minimalist. Case in point: The bag added visual interest to my springtime throw-it-on-and-go outfit of an oversized trench, a white blouse, straight leg jeans, and ballet flats.”

“Though they tend to get their fair share of hate, I’ve always been fully on board with thong sandals — a hallmark of ’90s minimalism. That said, finding a pair that doesn’t leave my feet covered in blisters has felt nearly impossible … until I tried these Mansur Gavriel babies. No, I wouldn’t walk a mile in them, but they’re comfortable enough to stand in for a few hours. What’s more, styling this silhouette is an absolute breeze as it pairs with virtually anything in your closet. My take? A striped top, denim Bermuda shorts, and a few anklets for an extra dose of oomph.”

Mari Sandals

‘Tis the season to slip into a thong sandal.

“Sometimes you need a bag that would put Mary Poppins to shame, and the Juno Tote is exactly that. This larger-than-life carryall has the magical ability to make me disappear when I turn to the side; suddenly, I’m all head, bag, and legs, which is very chic if you ask me. The beauty of this bag is that it can hold just about anything you could possibly need, and it becomes the outfit in the process. The printed pony hair elevates even the simplest look to maximalist perfection, and with it slung over my shoulders, I genuinely feel like the coolest girl in transit. The Juno Tote has quickly become my work, travel, and everyday bag, easily fitting my laptop, iPad, journal, makeup pouch, and more. The interior doesn’t have pockets or compartments, so with such a large open space, things can get a little lost. My solution has been to create my own organization system using small pouches. In my opinion, every girl needs an ‘everything-but-the-kitchen-sink’ bag, and the Juno Tote is one of the most stylish versions I’ve come across.”

Take it from Naseer: This tote will house everything you may need for the day.

The Eternal City is best known for its landmarks dating back to ancient Roman times. Of course, every first-timer should try to pack in plenty of Colosseum and Pantheon viewing. But the best trips to Rome aren’t just about ancient ruins (although, admittedly, there are plenty to make that the primary focus). Set along the banks of the Tiber River, Italy’s capital has museums filled with Italian masterpieces, Renaissance churches, larger-than-life monuments dedicated to rulers past, shopping, and a modern pulse that makes it one of the most fascinating and flocked-to destinations in Western Europe.

Oh, and the food! Rome’s delicacies extend far beyond pizza and pasta. Staples of Roman cuisine include fried artichokes and cacio e pepe. With its seemingly endless supply of family-run trattorias and chef-driven restaurants, having a standout meal is a given. The same remains true of aperitivo, the beloved Italian pre-dinner tradition of drinks and nibbles — best enjoyed on a bustling, cobbled square or a hotel terrace with sweeping views.

After days filled with sightseeing, shopping, eating, and drinking, travelers looking for somewhere to rest will find plenty of superb options. Of course, the finest hotels in Rome are more than just places to sleep. The hospitality scene is heating up faster than a scoop of gelato in the summer sun. These days, properties are offering guests a carefully curated and immersive experience, brought together through architecture, design, art, and atmosphere.

From historic luxury stays to colorful new boutiques, the best hotels in Rome reflect the rich tapestry of the city itself. And with so many choices, travelers can narrow down the field by neighborhood, style, and vibe for the perfect backdrop for their Roman holidays

Bvlgari Hotel Roma

It doesn’t get more glamorous than Bvlgari Hotel Roma, overlooking the Mausoleum of Augustus and the Ara Pacis. From the life‑size marble statue of Emperor Augustus in the entry vestibule to the sumptuous guest rooms, the five-star favorite of the international fashion crowd and well-dressed Romans is an exercise in elegance. Head to the spa for Augustinus Bader facials and to ogle the indoor swimming pool, framed by arabesque marble columns and mosaics. For even more indulgence, grab a sweet treat at Italy’s first Bvlgari Dolci chocolatier, sip cocktails under the warm glow of the hand-blown Murano glass at Bvlgari Bar, and dine at Il Ristorante - Niko Romito.

Orient Express La Minerva

Old-school train travel is having a splashy revival, driven by legacy operators like Orient Express. The first off-the-tracks hospitality project for the legendary rail company, Orient Express La Minerva, occupies an impeccably restored 17th century palazzo on Piazza della Minerva, in the heart of the city’s centro storico. Revived by artist-architect Hugo Toro, the luxury landmark greets guests with towering columns, patterned floors, and a marble statue of the Roman goddess Minerva. The lobby bar is an awe-inspiring setting for aperitivo. Roman grandeur extends to the rooms and suites, decorated with wood cabinetry, trunk side-tables, and painted ceilings. The gorgeous new spa takes cues from Roman thermae and Ottoman hammam rituals.

J.K. Place Roma

In Rome, the past is rarely left as rubble. Instead, it’s reinvented. Housed in a former school of architecture, J.K. Place Roma has amassed a loyal following for its sophistication, era-leaping style, and impeccable service. Florentine designer Michele Bӧnan imbued the interiors with timeless charisma. Harkening back to the building’s educational legacy, there’s a jewel-toned library filled with refurbished vintage chairs and a curated collection of books. The lobby takes a more modern turn, courtesy of bold, contemporary art and marble statues, while the adjacent bar recalls midcentury glamour, punctuated by custom Bӧnan furnishings and onyx. Rooms show off four-poster beds and Massimo Listri photographs.

Casa Monti

Dripping with bespoke prints, colorful art, and personality, Casa Monti is the cool, carefree kid on the block in Rome’s lesser-trodden Monti neighborhood — a historic creative district and longtime haven for artists. Designed by Laura Gonzalez and part of the family-owned Leitmotiv group, the 36-room bolt-hole feels like a best-kept secret — even if its look-at-me style and charisma are well-known to the in-the-know crowd. Beyond staring in awe (and snapping photos) of the restaurant terrace, jewel-box bar, and fountain-crowned patio, guests can unwind at the city’s only Susanne Kaufmann spa and toss back Monti Fizz cocktails on the rooftop, before retiring to one of the punchy bedrooms.

Hotel De Russie, A Rocco Forte Hotel

Set between Piazza del Popolo and the Spanish Steps, Hotel de Russie is a respite fit for a Roman holiday. An ode to classic Rome with cosmopolitan panache, it’s a favorite of locals, celebrities, and writers — French poet Jean Cocteau called it “paradise on earth” in 1917. Stylish sightseers fresh off private Colosseum tours sip Aperol spritzes on the terrace of Stravinskij Bar before feasting on Italian classics at Le Jardin. After clocking 35,000 steps a day exploring the city, tension-melting massages at the Irene Forte Spa await, followed by a restful night in antique-studded rooms.

Six Senses Rome

Wellness-oriented travelers — or those fresh off a few prosecco-fueled nights in Capri — will find relaxation (and a reset, if needed) at Six Senses Rome, an urban sanctuary tucked within the 15th century Palazzo Salviati Cesi Mellinia, a restored former cardinal’s residence, a coin’s throw from the Trevi Fountain. The spa offers a modern take on ancient Roman bathing rituals, complete with a caldarium, tepidarium, frigidarium, herbal-infused hammam, Biologique Recherche facials, and sound therapy. The 96 rooms and suites are designed for recharging, with neutral hues and organic mattresses. The on-brand immersive experiences include a rowing journey along the Tiber River and drives in a vintage electric Fiat 500.

Corinthia Rome

The newest entrant to Rome’s luxury hospitality scene, Corinthia Rome, brings a major dose of glamour to the Eternal City. Housed in the former headquarters of the Bank of Italy, just minutes from the Pantheon and Spanish Steps, the 60-key newcomer showcases sophisticated interiors by G.A. Design, honoring the building’s architectural heritage while embracing contemporary Italian design that is both luxurious and unmistakably current. Leaning into legacy, the spa resides within the building’s former bank vault. Each of the 21 generously sized suites is a cocoon of calm, with muted hues and sumptuous fabrics. Dining options are equally refined, from Michelin-worthy Italian gastronomy at Viride by Carlo Cracco to pizza in the garden at Piazzetta.

Portrait Roma

For travelers who prefer a boutique stay where everyone knows your name — and your water preference — Portrait Roma is the place to book. Part of the Lungarno Collection, owned by the Ferragamo family, and a member of Leading Hotels of the World, it’s a beloved base for a Roman holiday, steeped in warm hospitality and designer fashion appeal. With just 14 luxury suites and the exclusivity of a private mansion, the atmosphere is undeniably elegant yet effortlessly relaxed. Beyond the accommodations adorned with Magnum photographs from the 1950s and sketches of original shoe designs by Salvatore Ferragamo, there’s a guest-only rooftop terrace for sipping an espresso or a spritz and soaking in the skyline views.

Hassler Roma

Intimate, enviably positioned at the top of the Spanish Steps, and renowned for its hospitality, the refurbished Hassler Roma is as well-suited for a romantic escape as a bestie getaway. Family operated since 1893, this enduring luxury hideout has more than a century of history and honors its heritage without being bound by it. Each room is individually designed — from suites adorned in lavish period details to a penthouse that epitomizes modern opulence. The Michelin-starred restaurant, Imàgo, pairs gourmet cuisine with sweeping panoramic views, while the glam 1940s-inspired bar beckons for after-dinner cocktails. The property is also slated to unveil a brand-new spa later this year.

Hotel De La Ville, A Rocco Forte Hotel

A privileged perch and polished style make Hotel de la Ville one of Rome’s most iconic stays. Housed in an 18th century palazzo atop the Spanish Steps, the Rocco Forte property offers 89 rooms and 15 suites, many with picturesque city-view terraces. After a day of shopping at designer flagships and snapping photos at nearby landmarks, you’re assured a plush retreat to unwind. Book a massage at the Sicilian-inspired Irene Forte Spa and pause for an aperitivo at the enchanting Julep Bar before enjoying dinner at Café Ginori, where every delicious dish is served on exquisite porcelain — a perfect taste of Rome’s elegance and charm.

The Hoxton, Rome

Sometimes you want to splurge on a stay (and, to be clear, there are plenty of places in Rome that fit the bill). Other times, it’s all about a comfortable and stylish crash pad that won’t break the bank — leaving plenty of euros for designer shopping and wine-fueled dinners. Set inside a 1970s building in Parioli, an upscale residential district removed from the swarming crowds of the historic center, The Hoxton exudes an ease and approachability often lost in more formal hotels. Interiors mix local marbles and terrazzo, wall paneling, vintage Murano glass lamps, and jewel-tone furnishings across the café/bar, restaurant, and 192 bedrooms.

Rome Cavalieri, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel

When you want to turn a city break into a true vacation, check into Rome Cavalieri, a Waldorf Astoria Hotel, for abundant amenities and no-need-to-lift-a-finger service. Nestled within a leafy 15-acre park in Monte Mario, the grand property dates back to 1963. Anchoring its sense of time and place are midcentury architectural elements and modular interiors designed by Franco Albini, alongside views of Rome and Vatican City. While the pull of sightseeing in the Eternal City never fades, having access to swimming pools, a 26,000-square-foot spa, three-Michelin-star fine dining at La Pergola, and luxurious accommodations certainly quiets the noise of busy itineraries.

It’s impossible to know what goes on in other people’s homes, but it’d be reasonable to assume that it’s a very exciting — and busy — time at Chez Bieber. Justin is gearing up for weekend one of “Bieberchella,” his first time headlining the iconic SoCal festival; Rhode just released a teaser for Rhode x The Biebers, set to drop April 13 (smack dab between Mr. Bieber’s Coachella performances); and Jack Blues Bieber welcomed a visit from the Easter Bunny. Despite all these happenings, Hailey Bieber did manage to sneak in a new manicure: A “vanilla French glaze” chrome that harkens back to some of her most iconic sets.

Ms. Bieber shared a pic of her new nails in a photo dump posted to Instagram on April 5. In the first snap, she dons rabbit ears and wrap-around sunglasses, her translucent white chrome manicure wrapped around a white coffee mug. In the fifth photo, she’s seen holding her son’s (adorable) sticker-adorned hands; this shot provides a clearer view of white French tip painted underneath the shiny topper.

The manicure was the handiwork of Ms. Bieber’s longtime artist, Zola Ganzorigt, who dubbed the design “vanilla French glaze.” Ganzorigt, whose chrome collabs with Bieber catapulted both women into the Viral Mani Hall of Fame, has recently partnered with OPI to bring back the brand’s legendary Tin Man Can — the very silvery-white shade she used to create Ms. Bieber’s current mani, along with many of her other iconic “glazed donut” sets.

Though Tin Man Can isn’t exactly the right way to refer to the current iteration of the shimmering powder. As part of Ganzorigt’s collab (and in honor of the “glazed donut nails” craze), the brand renamed it Tin Man Can Glaze. It’s available now at Ulta Beauty, along with three new shiny, shifty shades.

Hailey Bieber wears it. So does Dua Lipa. Even Kim Kardashian and Zendaya are fans. So, what’s the makeup trend celebrities can’t get enough of? It’s called halo lips (also known as blurred lips), and it’s the easiest way to create the look of fuller, plumper lips without getting fillers or injections.

Rather than relying solely on liner to add definition, the trend incorporates contour, too, resulting in more supple-looking lips. Gone are the harsh lines and overdrawn, obvious-looking two-tone lips, and in their place comes a feathery, soft-focus pout. Celebrity makeup artist Christian Briceno says the lip-shaping technique is often used in high-fashion editorials “to give the lips a soft, contoured, fuller look that, when photographed, don’t appear as heavily lined.” You may have come across the trend on social media. Makeup artist Nina Park uses it on her A-list clients, and Katie Jane Hughes (Lipa’s makeup artist) has shared tutorials on how to achieve it.

Plus, with more people looking for alternatives to filler, plumper-looking lips can still be had if you know how to use makeup to fake it. Ahead, TZR unpacks the halo lip trend, which works across the board for all lip shapes, and why it’s the secret hack for perfectly blended, pillowy-looking lips that look like they’ve been plumped when, in reality, they haven’t been.

What Is The Halo Lip?

The viral, of-the-moment halo lip focuses on a softly defined lip with a diffused wash of light color at the center that blends out toward the perimeter. “Instead of a prominent line, everything is buffed out, which creates that pretty, pouty look,” says celebrity makeup artist Ash K. Holm, who recently did the look on Lindsay Lohan. The result? The illusion of fuller-looking lips without any heavy or obvious overlining.

The key to nailing the look is to keep the lip borders soft, with no harsh lines or accentuated definition. Holm adds that the placement of color in the middle of the lip and ever-so-slightly overlining the Cupid’s bow and the bottom center of the lip is what creates dimension and fullness. “It feels reminiscent of the ’90s because that era often used contrast and deeper edges with lighter centers to shape the mouth,” says Briceno. “The modern halo lip borrows that idea but does it in a more toned-down way. Instead of a visible dark ring of liner, the structure is diffused and blended, so the lip looks sculpted rather than outlined. If the border is too crisp, the lip appears flat instead of lifted.”

So why are halo lips having a major moment? They create the look of boosted volume but without resorting to lip filler. And with lip fillers being dissolved faster these days than they’re being injected, the timing of the halo lip makes perfect sense. As Briceno explains, the technique also mimics the way naturally fuller lips catch light, with the center of the lip appearing brighter and rounder. “When done well, it creates volume through contrast rather than through thick products or gloss.” It’s also a quick and easy way to create a soft, pretty, sexy lip that complements the no-makeup makeup look well.

Who Should Try A Halo Lip?

The trend works for all ages and lip shapes, as well as anyone who prefers a more natural-looking, muted-palette lip and using minimal products. Briceno particularly likes it on lips that need a little more structure, such as flat lips, lips with little projection, or corners that tend to pull the lips downward. “The technique gives a subtle lift and rounds the mouth without the need for overlining,” he says.

According to Holm, the halo lip fits perfectly into a lived-in makeup look. “It pairs beautifully with glowing skin, cream blush, and softly defined brows. But it also looks great with a winged liner or a soft, smoky eye.”

What You Need For A Halo Lip

To create a halo lip, you’ll need a few products on hand, namely a cream contouring or bronzing pencil or stick, lip liner, a buildable matte or semimatte lipstick, and a small blending brush. Loose powder is optional.

Holm likes to start with clean lips free of dead skin. “Lip prep is key for any lip look because it helps eliminate creasing and removes dry flakes,” she says. Plus, fewer dead skin cells on the lips means each product will softly melt into the next without any harsh transitions. “I like to exfoliate the lips and then apply a hydrating lip mask, which stays on until I get to the lips.”

How To Do A Halo Lip

The first step in a true halo lip is to neutralize the lips with a few dots of concealer or foundation (the new NARS Natural Matte Longwear Foundation is a good option). This will also soften the corners of the mouth and knock out any natural undertones. “You can also use whatever is left on your foundation brush,” Holm says. Follow with a light dusting of translucent loose powder. She recommends placing it around the edges of the lips to give the look longer wear and staying power.

Next, build the halo shadow. Briceno recommends placing a light layer of matte cream contour right above the Cupid’s bow and beneath the lower lip, without making the lips look too dark or harsh. “If the corners tend to turn downward, apply a little there, too.” Blend the product well with a lip brush, an eyeshadow blending brush, or your fingertips until it’s blurred and almost invisible, so the lips appear more projected, but not bronzed.

Then, pop on a neutral-toned lip liner (Holm’s pick is Merit Signature Lip Liner in Sportif), and slightly overdraw the bottom center of the lip and the Cupid’s bow while following the natural shape of the lips to further accentuate the shadowing effect. Make sure to shade in the corners to tie everything together. “Blend and buff out the edges with a brush, and use it to bring some of the lip liner towards the center of the lip,” she says, which adds dimension to the lips, so they look naturally plump and full.

A bit of color can be added to the center of the lips and blended outward if desired. If you opt for lipstick, Holm suggests patting it onto the center of the lips and using your fingers or a brush to blend it toward the lip liner. Stick to flesh-toned pink and peach lip crayons and cream blushes for a less pigmented look. Satin lipstick, such as Guerlain’s iconic Satin Rouge G Lipstick, also works, as do matte formulas, like Simihaze Beauty’s Velvet Blur Matte Lipstick Balm.

One thing to skip altogether is lip gloss, since halo lips call for a more natural finish rather than a shiny, glossy one. “Gloss can collapse the structure of the halo if it’s applied everywhere,” Briceno explains. “When the entire lip becomes equally reflective, the dimensional contrast disappears.”

In the 21st century, the only real beauty “rule” is that there are no beauty rules; wear what you like, how you like it, and when you like it. But honestly… seasonal favorites exist for a reason. Much like how the cold weather incites an almost primal urge to cozy up to dark hair colors and moody lipsticks, the lighter and brighter days of spring inspire many of us to opt for warm flushes of blush, soft, feathery hairstyles, and pretty new manicures— celebrities included.

If you stay on Celebrity Manicure Watch, you’ll know that even though the season has just begun, celebs have already dropped some great spring nail inspo. Most of it was technically during the winter, yes, but sets like Selena Gomez’s “petal pink nude” nails and Hailey Bieber’s “soft chrome” mani prove that famous folks were as eager as the rest of us to start the season early. Cardi B’s many hair-matching tour manis included a dreamy, iridescent set with major mermaid vibes — the same direction Kylie Jenner went in for her tropical vacation pedicure. And that’s just this year: Previous seasons have provided just as much inspo that still resonates in 2026.

Scroll on for 13 spring manicure ideas, as seen on celebrities.

Selena Gomez’s Juicy Tubes Mani

Striking the perfect balance between classic and playful, this glossy pink mani has serious Lancôme Juicy Tubes vibes. Her longtime manicurist, Tom Bachik, created it using shade BS-104 from his Neudes Collection.

Zendaya’s Bridal Moment

Spring is a major season for weddings; this spring, Zendaya is starring in the wedding-themed film The Drama; and the actress is rumored to have secretly tied the knot herself. Considering all the above, it’s no surprise that Z served up spring wedding mani inspo at the movie’s Los Angeles premiere. The short, square, blush-pink nails are a great pick for a timeless look.

Maren Morris’ Bright Skittle Mani

Not much of a pastel person? This oval manicure with neon “Skittle” French tips would be a perfect choice for anyone seeking a slightly unexpected — but still vibrant and colorful — Easter manicure. Bachik created it for Morris.

Kylie Jenner’s Rhinestone Flowers

Are flowers for spring “groundbreaking”? Maybe not. But they’re a popular motif for a reason: They symbolize new beginnings and, perhaps most importantly, are very cute. Celebrity nail artist Zola Ganzorigt created this set for longtime client Jenner.

Kerry Washington’s Velvet Polka Dots

Velvet nails, traditionally associated with the wintertime, are going to be big this spring. Especially in soft colors and trendy designs, like this polka dot look on Washington (courtesy of artist Sreynin Peng).

Rachel McAdams’ Radiant Rosé Mani

Another spring-coded velvet, celebrity nail artist Julie Kandalec used The Gel Bottle’s Lush — a rosy magnetic shade — to create the “Rosé Radiance” mani McAdams wore to the 98th Academy Awards.

Joey King’s Periwinkle & Nude Nails

To match King’s Miu Miu dress at the 2025 SAG Awards, manicurist Thuy Nguyen mixed and matched periwinkle and nude polishes before painting on some metallic linear designs.

Khloé Kardashian’s Pink-On-Pink French Tips

How to switch up the classic French mani for spring? Do as nail artist Ganzorigt did for Kardashian and try out a two-tone pink instead of the traditional pink-white combo. It’s subtle but perfect for the season.

Kylie Jenner’s Soap Nails

The soap nails trend is perfect for spring, and it totally nails (pun intended) the brief for a light and fresh feeling. Celebs like Jenner and Bieber have already given the look their stamp of approval.

Rihanna’s Butter Yellow Nails

This season, expect to see the butter yellow trend back in a major way. A perfect way to wear it? On your nails, like Rihanna did during her matchy-matchy moment in London.

Jennifer Lopez’s “Butterfly Kisses” Mani

Spring’s flora isn’t the only natural nail inspo to look to this season; consider the fauna as well. Case in point, this “butterfly kisses” mani Bachik created for Lopez. With its delicate design and dynamic sparkle, it’s an ideal choice for anyone who’s not afraid to make a statement.

Margot Robbie’s Pink Jelly Nails

If you love the look of jelly nails, let Robbie at the 2024 SAG Awards be your spring muse. Her Barbie-inspired mani was created by Betina Goldstein using Chanel’s Skieuse, Diva, and Sun Drop shades sheered out with Le Gel Top Coat.

Blake Lively’s Micro Floral Mani

Lively’s floral-themed press tour for It Ends with Us (in which she plays a flower shop owner) included this dainty mani created by Elle Gerstein using all Essie products. Months later, it feels like the dreamiest design to copy for spring.

Selena Gomez’s Electric Blue Nails

Gomez’s Y2K-inspired look in the “Call Me When You Break Up” music video included electric blue nails that are an unexpected choice for the season, though nevertheless fitting with their bold brightness.

Hailey Bieber’s Micro French Mani

If you envision a delicate style of nails for spring, Bieber’s micro French tips are the trend to try. Ganzorigt used OPI’s “Passion” and “Funny Bunny” to get the dainty look that’s ripe for the season.

As a shopping writer and just a girl who has lived in Los Angeles for the past decade, I’ve tried what feels like every swim brand. Swimwear is more splurge-worthy than ever these days, so it’s important to order the right size and fit when shopping online. Size charts can be helpful, but it’s always good to hear from someone who has tried a ’suit from the brand before. As with all women’s clothing, sizing can vary greatly from brand to brand. My friends often ask me for details about the brands I’ve tested, so here is my ultimate rundown.

I’ve rummaged through my swim drawer to determine the top 10 brands you need for summer 2026. These are the actual styles I own, with info on how they run and perform. For reference: I’m typically a true size medium, and at 5'10", I shop for bikinis, since one-pieces are rarely long enough. My ideal swimsuit has comfortable coverage without looking matronly, doesn’t squeeze, feels secure, and offers some cleavage.

Check out my favorite swim styles (and even some cover-ups) from Vitamin A, Bydee, Montce, and more luxe brands ahead. These bikinis run true to size, unless otherwise noted.

Vitamin A

Fit Consensus: Flattering and secure

Great For: Active endeavors and sunbathing alike

If I had to name my most worn bikini, it would be from California-based Vitamin A. I own the Skylar top and Lolita bottoms in two colors, with the black being my favorite. It’s so flattering on my body type — the über-high-waisted bottoms hit me at the smallest point of my waist. The top creates some cleavage even without padding, while the bottoms are a bit cheeky without being revealing. I’ve gifted this bikini to one of my friends who plays beach volleyball, and she loves to wear it during games due to its highly supportive fit. This is a ’suit I feel I can wear in any setting — and clearly I’m not alone.

Luli Fama

Fit Consensus: Sexy and supportive

Great For: Those seeking bra tops

I recently heard my friends raving about Luli Fama bikinis, and that was enough for me to pull the trigger. This bikini is the newest addition to my swim drawer, and my first swimmie from the Latin-owned brand. If you like a top with padding, this one has molded cups with a push-up effect. I got a size small in the top, according to the size chart, and I could have sized down. I got the bottoms in a medium, and they’re a bit cheekier than I typically go for but still fit great.

Bydee

Fit Consensus: Customizable and natural

Great For: Avoiding awkward tan lines

This Alix Earle-loved Australian brand is known for colorful swimsuits in fun prints with cute charms. I happen to have a lot of Bydee styles, so let me run you through my go-tos.

I own one of the more classic styles, the Barcelona top, which I pair with the Panama bottoms that offer a bit more coverage than some of Bydee’s other styles. I got the top in a size medium, and I could have sized down. The bottoms I wanted were only available in a size large, and they fit, but my true-to-size medium would have been better. I think string bikini tops offer less support than some others, but my friend swears by triangle tops for her larger chest, so it all depends on your body type and preferences.

Slate Swim

Fit Consensus: Soft and comfortable

Great For: Everyday wear

This bikini from AAPI-owned brand Slate Swim is really soft and comfortable. Its fabric is smooth and doesn’t squeeze. I grab for it often. The underwire top is supportive but unlined, so it won’t give much cleavage. The bottoms I paired with it have a bit more coverage. You can get this ’kini in several colors.

Jade Bottom

Montce

Fit Consensus: Inclusive sizing

Great For: High-quality styles that stand the test of time

Florida brand Montce’s swimwear is so high-quality, plus it comes in standard and plus sizes. One of the styles I own and love is no longer sold, but you can still get your hands on the Simone bikini top, which I paired with the Lulu bottoms. This bikini top has a fun crisscross detail, and note that its balconette style does not offer much push-up. The bottoms offer a bit more coverage, which I love, and have a U-shaped cut that I find really flattering.

Triangl

Fit Consensus: Daring styles

Great For: Instagram pics

Iconic 2015 brand Triangl is still putting out bangers. This velvet bikini is so unique. It’s one that I wear when I’m feeling brave, because the cheeky coverage bottoms feel a bit skimpy. I’d suggest it for pics and tanning more than active endeavors.

Triangl -

Blackbough

Fit Consensus: Good coverage and soft fabrics

Great For: More affordable styles

Filipina-founded Blackbough Swim has great bikinis at more affordable price points. Styles switch out more often, so two bikinis I own and like are no longer sold, but you can still get your hands on my Portia swimsuit. It has an underwire top without much of a push-up effect, and bottoms with comfortable medium coverage.

LSPACE

Fit Consensus: Great styles for big and small boobs alike

Great For: Substantial support and coverage

I love my LSPACE swimwear and can vouch for its quality, but the styles I own are no longer sold. I’m currently eyeing the Effie bikini top and Savannah bottoms, which look totally up my alley. This ’kini has a retro, classic vibe. LSPACE also makes its tops in special D and DD cup sizes for bustier gals.

La Reveche

Fit Consensus: More for fashion than function

Great For: Picture-perfect moments

Splurge-worthy Italian brand La Reveche has stunning rosette swimwear styles that make a statement. I accidentally got this bikini in a size large, which works, but it would be better in my typical size medium. Note that this beautiful bikini is skimpy! Its top is unlined, and its bottoms are cheeky. It’s ideal for lounging around when you’re feeling brave — more for fashion than for function.

Ashar Bikini Black

La Reveche -

Zonarc

Fit Consensus: Comfortable push-up styles

Great For: Wearing in front of most audiences

This über-comfortable bikini from sustainable swimwear brand Zonarc is one of my go-tos. Its top has a flattering push-up effect, and its bottoms offer comfortable coverage. The purple color is really pretty, and I feel like I can wear it in any setting. Note that this bikini top ties in the back, making it a bit less comfy to lie on.

Selena Gomez stepped out in Los Angeles on April 2 for a highly anticipated celebration for Rare Beauty, her multi-billion dollar cosmetics company. Gomez and her team launched the new 3-in-1 longwear foundation, dubbed ‘True to Myself’ — now available in 48 different shades. In her latest Instagram caption, she wrote that she had been working on this formulation for years, “to make getting ready easier.” On that note, Gomez tapped her go-to stylist Erin Walsh for an outfit just as simple and effortless as her makeup for the big night. The multi-hyphenate wore a pink silhouette straight off of the Prada Spring/Summer 2026 runway.

The wool and silk shift dress — which retails for $6,700 — featured a white embellished beaded collar with a tailored two pockets on either side, giving it a sort of modern mod effect. Gomez opted to wear it similarly to its ready-to-wear debut with a ruffled skirt layered underneath, only she ditched the black leather jacket and darker colored accessories that were originally styled on the model. Instead, the Only Murders in the Building actor put her own spin on the ensemble, with a crisp white crinkled skirt and matching pointed-toe pumps finished with a tiny bow, also from the Italian label.

The whole look felt light and airy — organically tying back into her new “super lightweight” formula which Gomez says “looks even better the longer you wear it.”

The cosmetics mogul lit up The West Hollywood Edition even more with her sparkling diamond accessories from Effy Jewelry.

The new foundation, exclusively available now on Rarebeauty.com and Sephora, “primes, covers, and sets all in one,” according to its founder.

And honestly, with a look as good as this one, it’s hard not to consider buying everything Gomez is wearing.

The matchy-matchy look — think coordinating your nail to your dress or wearing accessories in the same shade as your ensemble — can be pretty polarizing. To some, it’s classic. To others, it’s fusty and predictable. But one of the newest ways to coordinate with color is taking the celebrity set by storm, and it offers enough room for variation that everyone will want to try it. Monochromatic makeup has never been trendier, in part because your favorite A-listers have proven there’s no one set way to do it. From Jenna Ortega’s all-maroon makeup to Hailey Bieber’s super simple “plum girl” look, the biggest beauty trendsetters are putting their own spin on the harmonious makeup style to make it suitable for casual occasions and glamorous events alike.

So why are you seeing monochromatic makeup on so many celebrities of late? “I think they love it because generally it’s a softer look,” celebrity makeup artist Melanie Inglessis (who created Ortega’s maroon look) tells TZR. “It gives a sense of uniformity and softness with an overall focus on... the makeup as one, and not a single feature like a bold lip or smoky eyes.”

That said, bolder beauties — including the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice star — have been known to turn it up a notch. A perfect example is Margot Robbie’s orange makeup from a Once Upon a Time in Hollywood press event in 2019. Tangerine tones aren’t always thought of as the most wearable, but makeup artist Pati Dubroff chose the shade for the actor’s eyes, lips, and cheeks, creating an effect that was soft, yet statement-making.

But if orange just isn’t your color, don’t worry. Inglessis says the most popular way to wear monochromatic makeup is a lot more subtle. “Most likely, you would use earth tones,” peach, or pink, she says; peachy-caramels and berries also work beautifully. And recreating it can be so simple. “Start with a cream product that can be a cheek/ lip combo, then stain the lip with a similar color,” she suggests. “Blend softly, and don’t be scared to use your fingers to dab the same color from lips to cheeks, from cheeks to eyes!”

Need some visual inspo? Keep reading to see some of the best monochromatic makeup moments on the famous faces that brought them to life.

Zendaya

For the Rome premiere of The Drama, makeup artist Nikki Wolf — better known as @nikki_makeup — gave Zendaya rosy-brown cheeks, then seamlessly swept up the shade up to her lids.

Marsai Martin

The 2026 Academy Awards were full of matchy-matchy makeup moments, with many guests opting for head-to-toe drenches of color. Among them: Martin, whose “latte makeup” by Diana Shin paired perfectly with her chocolate brown bob and cozy cocoa gown.

Li Jun Li

In another monochrome moment from the 98th Oscars, Li, working with artist Sara Hill, wore soft red lips and cheeks with her bright red Gaurav Gupta Couture gown.

Chase Infiniti

It-girl Infiniti looked peachy keen in London, where she was promoting Hulu’s The Testaments. Makeup artist Naoko Scintu gave the actress radiant cheeks and a slightly deeper lip, both in the pinky-orange hue.

Yerin Ha

With mauve on her lips, cheeks, and lids — and the perfect micro-winged flick of black liner — Bridgerton breakout Ha and MUA Alex Babsky make a compelling case for monochrome cool tones.

Kiernan Shipka

Call it “spring with an edge.” Makeup artist Lauren Gott gave Shipka peony-pink eyeshadow, blush, and lips, all with a mega-glossy finish. Heavy black eyeliner and loads of lashes keep things from looking too prim.

Keke Palmer

Palmer’s go-to makeup artist, Kenya Alexis, has given the One of Them Days star monochromatic makeup looks a time or two, even tying her current copper hair color into the mix for the most harmonious effect.

Dua Lipa

Lipa loves wearing one color on eyes, lips, and cheeks, whether it be terracottas or rosy tones. And the fact that one of her makeup artists, Katie Jane Hughes, has her own brand of matte, multitasking sticks makes the singer’s looks easy to recreate.

Elizabeth Olsen

Proof that all monochromatic makeup looks don’t have to feel matchy, Dubroff played with shades of pink and plum when painting Olsen for the 2025 Independent Spirit Awards, to stunning effect.

Jenna Ortega

For the SXSW screening of Death of a Unicorn, Inglessis was inspired by Ortega’s burgundy shirt and tie. As an unpredictable twist, she added a jolt of color in the form of blue mascara, helping to break up the monochromatic look.

Zoë Kravitz

Choosing earth tones, like Nina Park did on Kravitz, is one way to make matchy makeup feel so user-friendly. Here, the Blink Twice director wore it to a movie screening as part of a glamorous head-to-toe look, but it can also be dressed down for daily wear.

Hailey Bieber

Leave it to Bieber to make putting on makeup always feel fun, easy, and approachable. Enter her Pocket Blush shade, Plum, which she used all over for the simplest (and fastest) monochromatic look.

Anya Taylor-Joy

The ballerina-inspired blush shade of Taylor-Joy’s dress at the 2025 Golden Globe awards likely inspired the colors her makeup artist Georgie Eisdell chose for the actor’s eyelids, lips, and cheeks — creating the softest effect from head to toe.

Halle Berry

When Berry recreated her iconic Oscars look at Elie Saab World late last year, her makeup artist Hung Vanngo took the opportunity to tie the reddish brown tones of her dress into her glam.

Margot Robbie

Robbie’s peachy-tangerine makeup (and matching mani!) was so unexpected for the star, yet hinted at her commitment to one color (ahem, Barbie pink) that was to come.

What skin care was to the first half of the 2020s, fragrance is shaping up to be for the latter. And by that I mean: It’s the category that beauty loves can’t get enough of. Sure, people have come up with inventive ways to smell good since the dawn of time, but the post-pandemic fragrance boom is a very real thing. Driven by the rise of social media, particularly #FragranceTok, everyone and their mother is buying, layering, and experimenting with scents. And considering the impressive selection of new releases for spring 2026, it looks like that boom is still going strong.

This season, the name of the game is smelling delicious — not just good, but good enough to eat. Among the gourmand and gourmand-leaning offerings are Summer Fridays’ Sunlit Vanilla (the brand’s debut scent), Phlur’s Honey Moon, and MCM’s Cosmic Star, all of which feature prominent vanilla notes. For those who err on the fruitier side of the category, there’s Emporio Armani’s Power of You — which blends vanilla, passion fruit, frangipani — and LoveShackFancy’s Sweetheart, which stars the very on-trend raspberry.

Of course, it isn’t spring without florals. Carolina Herrera’s La Bomba and Éditions de Frédéric Malle Contre-Jour offer bold interpretations of the seasonal classic, while Orebella’s Jasmine Blues takes things softer. Elizabeth Arden’s Eternal Aura splits the difference, with its conventional florals blended with vibrance.

Scroll on to discover 16 of the best new fragrances of spring 2026.

Most Seductive Spring 2026 Fragrance

Oud Fétiche Eau de Parfum

Christian Louboutin -

Dark, smoky, and mysterious, oud might not be the first note that comes to mind when you think of spring; However, thanks to a strong peach note, Louboutin’s Oud Fétiche has a vibrancy fitting for the season. “For this fragrance, I imagined a bold statement of contrasts, combining juicy white peach with dark, smoky oud,” master perfumer Paul Guerlain said in a statement. “This scent celebrates sensuality and sophistication, daring to push the boundaries of traditional perfumery.”

Key Notes: Peach, oud

If you tend to gravitate toward the ethereal — pearlescent chrome manis, soft, wavy hairstyles, etc. — bookmark this dreamy juice. Rooted in white florals (like iris, freesia, and gardenia) and gourmands (including vanilla and white chocolate), the scent gets a delightful boost from coconut water and pear.

Key Notes: Pear, coconut water, white iris, white caramel, vanilla, white chocolate

Key Notes: Iris and musk

Zendaya and Law Roach have perfected the art of the method dressing press tour. What started as a whisper (see: the Dune: Part 1 premieres) reached a fever pitch in 2024, during the promotional runs of Challengers and Dune: Part 2. For the actor's latest film, the wedding-themed dramedy The Drama, the stylist and his muse used the old rhyme “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue” as a guiding principle. And while every look knocked it out of the park, it was that “something blue” — a Schiaparelli gown and matching blue eyeshadow — that left jaws on the floor.

For the film’s April 2 premiere in New York City, Zendaya hit the red carpet in feathered Schiaparelli couture from the Spring/Summer ‘26 collection. The strapless, sculptural black ballgown was covered in vibrant blue feathers, lining both the center of the bodice and the bottom of the skirt.

And the glam was equally breathtaking. Getting in on the matchy-matchy makeup trend — which dominated the red carpet at this year’s Academy Awards—artist Ernesto Casillas created a sultry blue eyeshadow look, featuring black liner at the inner corners, a pop frosty blue shadow at the center of the lower lash line, and plenty of long, spikey lashes. There was a bit of a “birds-of-paradise” vibe; very fitting, given the plumage on the gown.

For hair, stylist Ursula Stephen gave Zendaya’s chocolate brown bixie a wet, “hydro bob” finish. The slightly loose hold (as opposed to a super slicked-down gel) added to the overall “dark tropical” energy of the look.

While the New York City premiere likely marks the end of The Drama’s press cycle, Zendaya fans, fear not: This year, not only is the actor set to star in The Odyssey and Dune: Part 3, but she’s also reprising her Emmy-award-winning role of Rue for the final season of Euphoria. So prepare for many more creative sartorial interpretations of her projects’ themes. I, for one, can’t wait to see what Roach can do with a Grecian gown.

Any fashion person worth their salt knows the power of a good accessory — a colorful statement necklace can completely transform an otherwise pared-back look, as can a printed tote bag. Hats are no exception. Blending style with function, the accent has been a defining accessory in recent seasons. “When wardrobes lean refined and understated, it’s the accessories that carry personality, and hats have been leading that conversation beautifully,” says Hannah Zemanek, Helen Kaminski’s head of design. Now, with spring in full swing, a new wave of hat trends is emerging — each made for sun-soaking outings.

Speaking of UV rays, Zemanek points to a growing movement: “As a new generation of content creators embraces fashion through the lens of beauty, skin care, and sun awareness, we’re seeing a deeper understanding of how style and self-care intersect,” she shares. “That cultural shift is significant. It tells us that hats aren’t just a passing trend; they represent a lifestyle mindset.” In other words, while hats add personality to any outfit, they also offer an extra layer of protection for your skin.

This spring’s hat trends run the gamut, spanning breezy raffia styles to retro-coded trucker caps. For a closer look at the season’s buzziest silhouettes, keep scrolling.

Natural Raffia

This season, Zemanek is seeing a shift toward hats crafted from natural raffia. “Designers are embracing raffia in its purest form — undyed, sun-warmed in tone, and rich with natural variations and subtle imperfections,” she shares. “That rawness is precisely what makes these hats feel modern. The focus is craftsmanship and the inherent beauty of something organic and unrefined.” Consider tossing a raffia hat into your suitcase for your next getaway — it’s as practical as it is polished.

Retro-Inspired Trucker

Dating back to the ‘70s, retro-inspired trucker hats — named after American truck drivers, farmers, and rural laborers who first wore them — are gaining momentum. “Nostalgic lids are sticking around, but with cleaner, more minimal logos and designs,” says Brittany Cobb, founder of Flea Style and author of the forthcoming book How to Style a Hat. “They tap into the Y2K wave while still feeling wearable day-to-day.” Indeed, the likes of Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie put their stamp on the hat in the early aughts. Recently, celebrities like Suki Waterhouse and Ryan Gosling have welcomed the silhouette back into their wardrobes.

Printed Bucket

Love them or hate them, bucket hats will never fully fizzle out of the fashion scene. And this spring, printed styles are coming in hot, according to Zemanek. “We’re particularly drawn to a longer-brim silhouette, one that can sit low and slightly obscure the eyes for an effortless, slightly mysterious attitude, or fold up to give a nod to ‘90s nostalgia,” she says. Cooper McManus, the creative director of Hat Attack, echoes her, adding, “We’re seeing more color this season, along with textures like crochet and woven patterns, and little details that make them feel more special.”

Never dabbled in fedoras? McManus encourages you to give the accent a moment in the sun this season — pun intended. “Classic straw hats will always have a place, but I think people are really gravitating toward fedoras this season,” she notes. “They feel a bit more fashion-forward while still being timeless.” McManus adds that fedoras were the number one style selected during influencer previews, further cementing their rise this season.

A sun hat is non-negotiable during the spring and summer months. Should you be in need of one, consider nabbing a bold, playful style. “The return of the wider brim feels both purposeful and fresh, delivering essential UV protection while commanding a strong fashion presence,” says Zemanek. “It’s a silhouette that frames the face with intention and instantly elevates even the simplest look.” Opt for a style featuring artisanal textures, playful prints, or vibrant colors.

It’s always nostalgic to see ’90s and early 2000s rom-com queen Cameron Diaz back out promoting a new project. And even though she still shines in any new role she takes on, it’s hard not to think about her iconic turns in There’s Something About Mary, Charlie’s Angels, The Sweetest Thing, and The Holiday. That nostalgia felt especially strong when she she appeared on late night television on March 31, wearing a ’90s-inspired white Calvin Klein Collection suit from their Spring ’26 line, complete with her signature pop of red style.

While Diaz may have moved on from that era (well, maybe not entirely — she’s set to reprise her role as Fiona in Shrek’s fifth installment), she’s still drawing from the effortless, minimalist style that defined it. As she should: her impact on fashion and culture, on and off the screen, is simply undeniable.

Her ’90s off screen style, specifically, can be seen referenced in more ways than one in her recent look to promote the new Apple TV series, Outcome. For starters, Diaz’s oversized, monochromatic suit by Calvin Klein — the ultimate minimalist label — felt like a callback to a similar gray menswear-inspired look that she wore in the South of France in 1994.

As if that weren’t enough evidence that Diaz is her own inspiration, here’s another shot from Paris in 1998, where she wore an almost identical colored blazer. But the real proof? Her love of a red shoe.

For her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Diaz wore a pair of red haze pumps from the buzzy new footwear label, Jude. In the nineties, it was her signature finishing touch to any red carpet look and date night — now, she’s using her favorite styling trick all over again.

To make the look feel more contemporary, she added a pair of architectural gold statement earrings from Mega Jewelry (her stylist Dani Michelle’s own line).

If there’s one thing Diaz and her fans can agree on, it’s that she’ll always be a style icon, then and now.

When someone’s selfie makes you scroll back, you want to know the beauty products responsible for the double take. Inquiring minds get answers with TZR’s The High/Low series, where we ask our favorite tastemakers to reveal both the splurge-worthy and wildly affordable staples in their routines.

Molly Sims doesn’t believe in gatekeeping. “I’m so inspired by the transparency in beauty right now, especially seeing influential voices in beauty and pop culture openly share what they’ve done and what actually works for them,” she tells TZR. “That mindset is one of the reasons I started my podcast, Lipstick on the Rim. I wanted to pull back the curtain — to share the latest facial I tried, the best place to get Botox, the treatments that are worth it and the ones that aren’t — so women feel informed, empowered, and in control of their own choices. Beauty should feel inclusive and honest!”

The model-producer-actor’s skin care journey also inspired her brand YSE Beauty, a line designed for those who are too busy for an extensive daily routine. The simple yet effective products are made with tried-and-true, clinically-backed ingredients that support the skin barrier, and above all, make you glow. (Case in point: YSE’s latest launch, the Xtreme Glow Dewy Peptide Plumping Serum.) “I also believe beauty should fit into your life. I’m a mom, I run a business, and I sometimes double as a lacrosse coach (I wish I was kidding!),” Sims shares. “I don’t have two hours to get ready. My routine has to work hard and deliver results. This is one of the reasons why I started my beauty brand YSE Beauty. It’s about smart products, consistency, and small rituals that make me feel put together.”

This simplicity ethos extends to the rest of Sims’ beauty routine. “Healthy, glowy skin is the foundation for everything,” she says. “When your skin feels good, you need less and that means less makeup, less covering. That’s where confidence really starts.”

Ahead, Sims shares the luxury and affordable makeup, hair care, and skin care products she relies on for her signature “elevated but never overdone” look.

Some girls really do have all the luck, and Amal Clooney is one of them. To be clear, I’m not talking about her trajectory in life — one doesn’t become an internationally renowned, Oxford-educated human rights attorney without putting in some substantial intellectual elbow grease. I’m talking about her hair. Clooney has the kind of thick, shiny, full-of-body mane that mesmerizes in just about any style, cut, or color. (Seriously, this disco-diva faux bob lives rent-free in my head.) And her latest hair moment — featuring gold-tinged “La Panthère” highlights — is another look to add to the books.

The cut and color came courtesy of hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos, who, on April 1, shared snaps of the barrister’s new style in two Instagram posts. In them, Clooney is seen with long, blown-out, chocolate-brown hair, slightly directed to the side. Warm golden and bronde highlights are woven throughout, creating dimension and adding movement.

In the caption, added to both posts, Giannetos shared his inspiration for the chic hue: Cartier’s La Panthère, the name of both a fine fragrance and a watch design. For a Cartier event held in Milan, Giannetos “wanted to subtly change Amal’s hair color and length,” he wrote. “La Panthère highlights are bold but at the same time look effortless and very elegant!”

And Giannetos didn’t “just” provide hair cut, color, and styling — he also did Clooney’s makeup, using Charlotte Tilbury products. Per the brand’s Instagram Stories, he created the sophisticated (and very on-trend) blurred lip with the Lip Cheat in Foxy Brown and K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick in Coral Kiss.

“Dairy Boy” is the kind of brand name that makes you stop mid-scroll, piquing curiosity. The label, founded by Paige Lorenze as a nod to her Vermont roots, has built a devoted following since its 2021 debut. But it’s not just the cheeky moniker that has the masses hooked. “I think the brand is really about feeling a sense of belonging, no matter where you are,” Lorenze, a popular WAG who is engaged to tennis star Tommy Paul, tells TZR on a recent call, pointing to its accessible price point and quality-driven pieces (think: hoodies, tees, and everyday dresses) as key to its appeal. Now, she’s bringing the brand’s signature ease and cozy aesthetic to the activewear world with the launch of DB SPORT, which is available to shop today.

The debut of DB SPORT is a testament to how far Dairy Boy has come, something Lorenze describes as an intentional journey. “Things take time. Even three years ago, I didn't exactly have the product and the team that I wanted,” she reflects. “I knew that there were steps I had to take to get to where I am today.” With a robust design team now in place, she was about to finally bring DB SPORT — a year and a half in the making — to fruition. “I wasn’t able to create a collection at this caliber until I had the right resources,” she adds.

Comfort came first when developing the product assortment. “There’s some activewear that can feel really tight, and you wouldn't want to wear it for more than an hour,” she notes. “We figured out how to make something like that you want to wear all day.” Available in sizes XXS to XXL, the collection spans matching sets, sports dresses, tanks, capris, headbands, and hats — all designed with function at the forefront. For DB SPORT, Lorenze reimagined classic gym class staples through a feminine lens, incorporating lace trims, scalloped edges, and softly tailored silhouettes. With every piece priced under $85, accessibility remains a key focus. “I’m far more interested in dressing an entire generation of American girls than a select few who can afford it in major cities,” she adds.

Her tight-knit community is equally enthusiastic about the new venture. “This is the most excited that I've seen them,” she reveals. “I've been doing this for so long, so they know that this is such an authentic extension of myself.” While Lorenze may now be immersed in the sports world as a tennis WAG, her connection to athletics runs much deeper. A former competitive skier, she credits that background with shaping DB SPORT. “It’s impacted a lot of my decisions and choices, and it’s made me competitive and grounded,” she says.

DB SPORT comes after a milestone year for Dairy Boy. The label recently debuted its first evergreen core collection, expanded into the affordable luxury space with its inaugural cashmere collection, and hosted a series of pop-ups. To mark its latest launch, Lorenze brought DB SPORT to life with a pop-up at the Miami Open. “We have an amazing production team, and they get our vision, so being able to imagine this world of DB SPORT in per]’]son is so important for the collection,” says Lorenze. Ahead of the opening, the brand had a VIP celebration in partnership with Gatorade and LALO Tequila.

It wasn’t necessarily all work at the annual tennis tournament. A regular at the Miami Open, Lorenze also enjoyed the matches — in a range of chic courtside looks, of course. This time around, she leaned into bright shades and vintage Valentino, Pucci, and Chanel. “I’ll be in colors that maybe I wouldn't want to wear in New York or Los Angeles, but make sense in Miami,” she shares.

Beyond Dairy Boy, Lorenze has been busy these past few months, launching her foundation, Kids Outdoors, with Paul in January. “It’s something that we’ve been wanting to do for a long time; it didn’t feel like we had the bandwidth prior,” Lorenze explains. “We felt like this year was a great year to start it, and we had the time and the resources to do it.” Inspired by her athletic upbringing, Kids Outdoors’ mission is to increase children’s access to sports and nature. “We put on a clinic at a school, with kids that don't really know about tennis and live in an underprivileged area,” she notes. “It's so important for us to give back.”

Lorenze is also gearing up to open Dairy Boy’s first-ever retail store, set to debut on Nantucket Island around Memorial Day. In other words? For those who can’t make it to the Miami Open pop-up, consider it the perfect excuse for a coastal escape.

Two weeks after the end of awards season, Chase Infiniti, the breakout talent from Best Picture winner One Battle After Another, is back in the spotlight — this time for her new series with Hulu. On March 31, Infiniti walked the red carpet for the premiere of The Testaments at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles. Infiniti landed the starring role of Agnes in this sequel to the award-winning series The Handmaid’s Tale. For her first major leading role, she seized the moment with a look to cement the main character that she is.

Infiniti, who is a recent brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton (she joined the house in December 2025), called upon the label’s artistic director Nicolas Ghesquière to design a champagne colored hourglass silhouette that made her look like a ballerina it-girl. The strapless dress featured a quilted corseted bodice attached to a voluminous tulle skirt, which jetted out at the waist. It was intentionally cropped at the ankle to display Infiniti’s matching satin Gala pumps — also by Vuitton.

She posed with her hands on her hips showing off her diamond rings from NYC-based label, Effy Jewelry. Infiniti’s intricate updo by hairstylist Coree Moreno gave the perfect display for her yellow gold and diamond statement earrings. Moreno described the inspiration behind the red carpet look as “channeling champagne swan” in his Instagram caption, and he nailed the description.

The actor has worn a slew of impressive red carpet looks over the last few months, earning her place as one of TZR’s rising stars with both talent and style to watch — but this latest ensemble feels like Infiniti is only getting started. And with a team like celebrity stylists Wayman and Micah, and Ghesquière most likely on speed dial, Infiniti is quickly evolving into a red carpet pro.

The first three episodes of The Testaments are set to drop on April 8.

Anne Hathaway fans, prepare to be so up. In 2026, the Academy Award-winning actor has no fewer than five major films set for release, including Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey and the highly anticipated sequel to The Devil Wears Prada. First up, however, is the psychological thriller Mother Mary, which just dropped a second trailer. And in it, viewers get a more extended shot of the hair worn by Hathaway’s titular pop star: Long, center-parted, and bi-colored, with platinum blonde on the top and a rich shade of brown underneath. Call it “skunk hair-adjacent.”

The minute-long trailer follows Hathaway’s Mother Mary from her dressing room to the stage — where she performs one of the film’s original songs, “My Mouth Is Lonely For You” — with a few cryptic clips interspersed throughout. For the first three or so seconds, however, we get nothing but Hathaway, looking at herself in the mirror as a stylist smooths her long blonde mane.

The slightly off-center angle provides a solid view of the underside of the style, making it clear that there aren’t just dark money pieces at the front — rather, the entire underside is a dark brown or black, a la Future Nostalgia-era Dua Lipa. A slightly blotted berry lip, subtle cat eye, and a radiant blush-highlighter combo round out the pop star glam.

While this isn’t the first time the famous brunette has gone blonde on screen or even off, when she does, it’s enough of an event to merit headlines (such as when she bleached her pixie in 2013 and donned a blonde bob for a role in 2023). Check out her latest dip into the flaxen pool when Mother Mary hits theaters in limited release on April 17.

Room Key is The Zoe Report’s definitive guide to the world’s most exclusive stays. From private island resorts to design-forward urban escapes, each feature offers an insider’s look at the properties redefining modern luxury.

“I’ve been dying to go inside that building,” a friend said when I told her I’d be spending a weekend at the Populus in her home city of Denver. Designed to resemble native aspen trees (with playful eye-shaped windows to boot), the striking hotel generated plenty of buzz among locals when it opened in October 2024, and for good reason. It didn’t take long after I arrived earlier this year to realize the Populus isn’t your typical stay — it’s actively pushing the travel industry toward a more eco-conscious future.

In fact, the Populus is the country’s first carbon-positive hotel. In other words, it removes more carbon than it emits. To achieve this impressive feat, Populus’ carbon footprint has been reduced through a mix of sustainable design decisions and construction techniques, including the use of low-carbon concrete and the intentional absence of onsite parking (guests are encouraged to use the hotel’s valet service or nearby garages).

Paying homage to the Mountain West with warm colors and natural materials, the breathtaking interiors are courtesy of Wildman Chalmers Design in partnership with Fowler Architecture and Design. Beyond their visual appeal, each detail aligns with the hotel’s sustainability-focused ethos. For instance, the carpets in the guest rooms are made from recycled materials that biodegrade in landfills, while many suites also feature headboards made from fallen beetle-killed pine. Meanwhile, the wood slats in the lobby ceiling are sourced from reclaimed wood snow fencing in Wyoming.

This is just a glimpse of what the Populus has to offer. Below, read my full review of the one-of-a-kind hotel in downtown Denver.

The Stay

As it was my first time in Denver, it would have made sense to fill my days zipping around the city exploring. But honestly, I was more than content spending most of my time in the hotel — the space was so cozy and welcoming, it was hard to leave. The property boasts 265 rooms, each with a calming, minimalist design. Meanwhile, the walls are adorned with art by Colorado-based artist and environmental activist Katherine Homes. I was lucky enough to stay in the Mountain Studio Suite, a spacious room with various seating areas, a king bed, a soaking tub, and a minibar.

Though the luxuriously comfy bed was a highlight, the views of the nearby State Capitol, Civic Center Park, and the Rocky Mountains made my experience truly exceptional. In keeping with its eco-friendly mission, the hotel plants a tree for every night’s stay, allowing guests to take part in its sustainability efforts.

The Restaurants

Even if you’re not a guest at the Populus, the restaurants inside are reason enough to stop by. On the ground floor sits Pasque, an all-day spot serving seasonal, vegetable-heavy dishes alongside proteins from land and sea. My favorites? To start, the rebel bread — aka sourdough with whipped tallow butter. For the main dish, I ate every last bite of the roasted duck breast.

Upstairs is Stellar Jay, a bustling rooftop restaurant, bar, and outdoor terrace. Named after the Steller’s jay bird, the restaurant serves mouthwatering shareable plates, from gnocchi and mussels to braised bison short ribs and roasted chicken, all complemented by refreshing cocktails.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t also mention Little Owl, the cute coffee bar situated next to the check-in counter. As a coffee connoisseur, I’m always on the hunt for the best iced lattes, and the one at Little Owl easily ranked among the top five I’ve had in recent years — no exaggeration.

What’s more, the Populus is the first hotel in downtown Denver to utilize BioGreen360’s “Food Cycling” technology, diverting 100 percent of food waste from landfills and turning it into all-natural compost. The waste is processed using BioGreen360’s waterless aerobic digesting system, with the resulting compost and fertilizer distributed to local farms in Colorado.

The Amenities

The second floor features numerous meeting and event spaces that can host everything from business meetings and co-working sessions to parties and pop-up events. Meanwhile, the top floor houses hospitality suites available for private social or corporate gatherings, all with incredible views of Denver’s parks, downtown skyline, and the neighboring Rocky Mountains. (Accommodations start at $299 per night for guest rooms and $499+ for suites.) And if you feel like breaking a sweat during your stay, head to the 24-hour gym, which features Peloton bikes, a StairMaster, treadmills, and more equipment.

Aside from her epic on-screen style on Bravo’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Rachel Zoe has been keeping busy, slaying all the red carpets from L.A. to Aspen to Miami. Within the month of March alone, The Zoe Report’s editor-at-large attended a variety of A-list events, including the Academy Awards Luncheon hosted by Diane von Furstenberg on March 11, in the company of some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, like Gwyneth Paltrow, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Jane Fonda. Zoe was spotted alongside Paris Hilton and DVF — who she twinned with in a matching silk floral printed jumpsuit.

That same evening, Zoe continued her style streak at the Women’s Cancer Research Fund Benefit in Beverly Hills — this time nailing the formal dress code. She wore an ivory slip gown with a plunging neckline and a fur coat draped off the shoulder like a shawl, proving she can effortlessly transition from bohemian fashion darling to glamorous philanthropist without missing a beat.

A couple weeks later, she traded in the California sunshine for Aspen’s exclusive winter peaks to attend the Snow Ball Benefactor Dinner and 4th Annual Aspen Snow Ball Gala, both presented by COSF. Over back-to-back evenings, Zoe stunned in her all-black ensembles. For dinner, she wore an asymmetric shoulder gown lined with feathers. But it was her sequined Roberto Cavalli gala look that was the absolute showstopper. The black silhouette featured edgy side cutouts, along with her trusty plunging neckline.

As if four majorly stylish appearances this month weren’t enough, Zoe made one final stop at the 1 Hotel South Beach in Miami for the Fifth Annual New You Beauty Experience & Awards. But she didn’t just attend as a VIP guest, Zoe was also honored as Style Icon of the Year. Dressed in another striking icy blue cutout designed by Bronx & Banco, she accepted her award after taking the stage as a guest speaker on The Influence of Beauty panel alongside Patrick Ta and Jeannie Mai.

It was a fitting end to one of her most stylish (and most decorated months) in recent memory. Ahead, catch the fashionable highlights from the last four weeks.

Fallen into a fashion slump this winter? The Devil Wears Prada 2 press tour is here to help you recharge those sartorial batteries. As expected, the film’s stars, Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep, kicked off the promo circuit in high style on March 30, stepping out in Mexico City wearing fresh designer looks.

The duo’s first stop on Tuesday was the Frida Kahlo Museum, where they took part in a Q&A. Hathaway turned heads in a fringe, cowboy-inspired Schiaparelli shirt, paired with a matching pencil skirt. The actor punctuated the all-black look with the brand’s eye bijou belt — an oversized gold accent shaped like, you guessed it, an eyeball. She continued the playful streak with Schiaparelli patent leather pumps, defined by a wavy silhouette and the maison’s signature gold-tone keyhole detail. A black leather Warp bag and Bulgari Tubogas earrings completed the look.

Streep, meanwhile, donned a fire-engine red suit courtesy of Dolce & Gabbana. Her outfit consisted of the luxury label’s Turlington jacket with sharp peak lapels, matching wide-leg trousers, and a coordinating pussy-bow blouse in organza. Streep accessorized with oversized maroon cat-eye glasses, large hoop earrings, and a custom Olympia Le-Tan bag. (The movie’s other stars, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci, were noticeably absent, but will likely join in on the festivities soon.)

The fashion didn’t end there. Later in the day, the two attended a red carpet for the movie at the Anahuacalli Museum. Hathaway, for her part, arrived in a straight-off-the-runway look, opting for a sequin burgundy dress from Stella McCartney’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection. Oozing glamour, the number featured long sleeves and a flared skirt. Hathaway accented the glitzy confection with slouchy over-the-knee leather boots, also from the aforementioned fall collection, leaving just a sliver of skin between her mini dress and shoes. The Princess Diaries alum dialed up the drama with a bright red lip.

Streep, on the other hand, went more classic in a Schiaparelli floor-sweeping navy shirt dress with gold buttons and a matching belt. The legendary actor styled the piece with Schiaparelli’s signature maximalist accessories, including tooth-shaped earrings and one of its embellished face bags.

On the first of April, Streep was spotted in New York doing press solo — something the three time Academy-award winner is probably accustomed to. The actor first pulled up to The Late Show With Stephen Colbert in Midtown wearing the most Miranda Priestly-inspired outfit, if there ever was one: a leopard print blouse from Givenchy by Sarah Burton. She paired the chic Fall 2026 runway top with black trousers, pointed toe slingbacks, and Demellier’s grain leather Hudson bag.

While Streep may have appeared on Colbert without her trusty co-star, she surely kept Hathaway top of mind. For the taping, she changed into a custom cerulean blue sweater by J.Crew as a callback to her iconic 2006 monologue in the original The Devil Wears Prada.

The cable knit, originally worn by Hathaway’s character Andy Sachs, has become one of the most memorable costumes (and moments from the film). “That sweater is not just blue, it’s not turquoise, it’s not lapis—it’s actually cerulean,” Priestly said while schooling Sachs.

Streep finally reunited with Hathaway in Seoul this week, but only after her iconic Vogue cover opposite Anna Wintour (both dressed in Prada) dropped. On April 8, the co-stars attended back to back fan photo calls, while taking turns wearing the film’s devil red and black on stage.

Streep began the events in a red monochromatic Prada suit with Hathaway opting for black leather pants and a beige off the shoulder top from Vaquera’s Spring/Summer 2026 ready-to-wear line. Later on, Streep slipped into a sleek all-black Celine look and Hathaway went with a bold red leather Balenciaga look from Fall/Winter 2026.

With the film still weeks away from its April 30 release — mark your calendars! — there are plenty more fashion moments to come. Be sure to keep checking back, as this post will be updated throughout the press tour.

In the age of online shopping, malls have taken a backseat. However, Forbidden Fruits is putting mall culture — and style, or “mallcore” — back on the map. Now in theaters, the new indie film stars Lili Reinhart (Apple), Victoria Pedretti (Cherry), Alexandra Shipp (Fig), and Pumpkin (Lola Tung), a tight-knit crew working at overpriced boutique Free Eden — a not-so-subtle nod to Free People. “From the beginning, we knew the costumes would be pretty important because they’re working in a store,” Sarah Millman, the film’s costume designer, tells TZR. Of the fictional Dallas-based shop, she adds, “It’s an amalgamation of a lot of mall brands.”

Think of the Forbidden Fruits characters as a 2026 take on the Mean Girls clique. They may not come from wealth, but these young women rule the mall — commanding the corridors with the same self-assurance and attitude. Take, for instance, the fountain scene in the 2004 rom-com, which, as it turns out, was filmed in the same mall as Forbidden Fruits. Needless to say, Mean Girls served as a visual touchstone for Millman. “It’s referenced a lot because, of course, it’s iconic and perfect,” Millman says about the early aughts movie. In one scene, for instance, Pumpkin is clad in a pleated denim miniskirt, while Cherry wears a tonal pink look — capris included — underscoring the early aughts influence.

But with the “fruits”— the four leads, each named after fruit — staying behind for an after-hours coven they call “Paradise,” the wardrobe also required a darker, witchier edge absent from Mean Girls. “I looked at Heathers because there’s this preternatural worldliness to it,” the costume designer shares. Once the boutique closed, the characters shed their mallcore looks in favor of moodier ensembles, including gauzy black capes and suede dresses.

While dreaming up the wardrobe, Millman built out racks for each character, filled with pieces she envisioned them wearing. “It was not a very typical scenario; it was much more collaborative,” she says of the process. Reinhart, meanwhile, wore several pieces from her own closet in the film. In the opening scene, for instance, the actress dons her own Coperni blue knit set. Her character, Apple, is something of a “Patrick Bateman” of the coven, Millman notes, referencing American Psycho. “She’s got her mask on and she’s a traumatized human, so her costumes reflect that she’s really trying to control the narrative around her,” Millman explains. As such, Apple is often seen in low-plunging, body-skimming silhouettes and dark hues — save for the aforementioned opening look.

Cherry sits on the opposite end of the spectrum from Apple, notes Millman. Drawing on Hollywood icons like Brigitte Bardot and Marilyn Monroe, the character channels a pin-up sensibility, complete with bustiers and a palette of softer shades. As for Fig, she’s the group’s resident mall goth, with Hot Topic serving as a sartorial reference. Then there’s Pumpkin, the latest addition to the pack. “She’s the outlier,” Millman says. “She’s the character who most embodies a Texas ray of sunshine,” Millman adds, noting that Pumpkin is the quintessential girl next door.

Given that the characters were making minimum wage, accessibility was key for Millman to convey. To that end, the team leaned on one mall mainstay in particular: American Eagle. “American Eagle sent us so much that we had a really beautiful foundation,” the costume designer shares. Reformation also supplied pieces for the film, while Susan Alexandra created the beaded bracelets worn by each character.

In a similar vein, the film’s modest budget meant Millman sourced portions of the wardrobe from secondhand shops. “My buyer, Sarah May, and I are huge thrift hounds, so we would run out and pull looks from vintage stores in Toronto, where the film was shot.” That’s not to say designer pieces were off the table. Rodarte, for one, made an appearance during the coven scenes: Apple in a red bow-adorned dress, Cherry in a peach ruffled satin number, and Fig in a black lace gown. “In every ‘Paradise,’ we wanted them to feel elevated from their daytime looks — almost sacred in a coven-like setting.”

For Millman, working with an almost entirely female cast was a welcome shift — especially after her last project, Tuner, starring Leo Woodall, Dustin Hoffman, and Lior Raz. “Meredith, the film’s director, is incredibly generous with her process. She brought me into meetings I wouldn’t normally be part of, like production design, and because the departments are so intrinsically linked, I got to witness that collaboration in a way I hadn’t before,” she shares.

Sure, you might not ditch online shopping for a mall outing after seeing Forbidden Fruit, but leaning into mall rat style isn’t a bad idea. With brands like American Eagle, Abercrombie, and J.Crew on the rise again, you’ll be right on trend.

Stars: They’re just like us. Sure, Kylie Jenner might not be able to make an Erewhon run to pick up a bottle of olive oil without getting swarmed by fans and paparazzi, but at the end of the day, she’s just a girl ready for a reset after a jam-packed Q1— aboard a yacht in a tropical locale, of course. (Ok, so maybe stars aren’t just like us.) Over the last several days, she’s been dropping photo dumps of her holiday in the sun, featuring shots of clear water, pristine sand, and, in the latest set, a very trendy pearlescent pedicure.

In the Mar. 30 Instagram post, Jenner shared 11 pics; mostly of herself, bikini-clad, enjoying the beach. But pay attention to the bottom of the third shot (a frame mostly consisting of crystal-clear water over sand), and you’ll catch her gorgeous pedicure: A pearlescent chrome with a shifty blue-pink sheen. The color and finish had big mermaid vibes — very fitting for a beachy vacay.

Unsurprisingly, considering Jenner’s status as a veritable mani muse, the look is very of-the-moment. Earlier this year, celebrity manicurist Gina Edwards predicted “pearlescent overlays, especially on top of blush nude shades” to trend in spring 2026, as did nail artist Kiko Kitano, who foresaw “the glazed, iridescent chrome finish” maintaining its popularity thanks to “its soft, light-catching glow.”

While it’s been tougher to catch a glimpse of her nails in the photos shared thus far, a beach read shot does provide a sliver of hands — and it looks like her fingernails and toes might share the same color and finish. Perhaps the matchy-matchy trend is about to hit our mani-pedis, too?

In our series Trial Run, TZR editors and writers put the buzziest new beauty products to the test and share their honest reviews. This week, deputy beauty editor Erin Lukas is testing the buzzy Neuraé Harmonie The Treatment Lotion.

The signature trademark of French girl style that’s all over Pinterest, TikTok, and Instagram is rooted in effortlessness. Think minimalist outfits consisting of timeless staples like trench coats and straight-leg jeans paired with perfectly tousled hair and a lived-in, blurred red lip. This laidback sensibility to beauty doesn’t stop at hair and makeup. Yes, the French typically follow a less-is-more approach to skin care, too. As someone who knows their way around a Parisian pharmacie, I chalk this up as to why so many of my favorite French skin care buys have multitasking formulas. However, I’m somehow late to an entire product category: the treatment lotion. I’ll admit, I’ve spotted them in Paris and ignorantly wrote them off as toners, but Neuraé’s new Harmonie The Treatment Lotion has converted me.

While treatment lotions are applied right after cleansing like a toner, the similarities end there. (A full breakdown on the differences to come.) A lotion offers instant hydration, soothes redness, and helps the rest of the products in your routine better absorb into your skin. So an unnecessary extra step? Definitely not.

Keep reading for a complete rundown on Neuraé’s Harmonie The Treatment Lotion, including my experience testing it for three weeks.

The Treatment Lotion

The milky lotion hydrates and soothes skin while simultaneously setting it up to better absorb the rest of the products in your routine.

The Formula

First, a quick primer on treatment lotions. The simplest way to explain how they work is to think of them as the pregame of your skin care routine. Treatment lotions are often lightweight, milky, and provide instant hydration, which subsequently enhances the absorption of products you apply afterwards. (Yes, like essences in Asia, but lotions tend to be more viscous.) The hydrating quality of lotions is the key difference from the astringent toners traditionally found in the U.S.

I asked Neuraé Development Director Elise Létang to further break it down. “A toner is historically the final step of cleansing, used to remove residue,” she explains. “The Treatment Lotion has no cleansing action. Instead, it is the first step of care. We call it a 'routine activator.' Its role is to prime the skin.” Létang goes on to say that it hydrates the skin, making it more receptive. “By placing the skin in this state of optimal receptivity, you aren't just adding a step — you are unlocking the full potential of every product that follows,” she adds.

In Neuraé’s treatment lotion, high molecular weight hyaluronic acid plumps and locks in hydration on the skin’s surface so the rest of the actives in your routine penetrate more efficiently. There’s also a sugar complex for long-lasting moisturization, vital water to boost radiance, and squalane to strengthen the skin barrier. Like the rest of the line, it also has neuro-ingredients (eperua, alpine skullcap, and red indigo extracts). They’re shown to rebalance skin cell messengers, which in turn reduces visible signs of stress on the skin such as redness, dullness, inflammation, and fine lines. Plus, these extracts give the lotion its harmonious herbaceous scent.

My Experience & Results

My skin is pretty unproblematic for the most part, save for the odd pimple around my period or a bit of seasonal dryness. However, this winter was unlike any in recent memory. It was extra frigid and snowy in New York, and as a result, I often had flaky patches of skin around my nose and eyelids. Overall, my face was looking dull and lifeless, so my routine needed an boost of hydration. After cleansing, I added two pumps of the lotion to my palms and patted it into my face. I was struck with how quickly it absorbed into my skin, and the instant glow I was left with. I followed up with a peptide serum and moisturizer, and liked that it didn’t feel like I had an extra product layer on my face.

I continued using the lotion both morning and night for roughly three weeks. While I can’t say whether it made the vitamin C serum, exfoliating toner, or aforementioned peptide serum I use every day penetrate any better, I did notice my skin felt softer than it had all winter and my overall tone seemed a little clearer.

Is Neuraé’s Harmonie The Treatment Lotion Worth It?

For those who have never used a treatment lotion before, trying one that’s $150 probably seems like a pricey wildcard. I was right there with you. However, countless hydrating masks and serums I tried this winter only provided instant gratification, whereas my face stays soft all day with this lotion in the mix. So if you’re rehabbing seasonally dry skin, I’d say it’s worth adding this treatment lotion to your cart.

If you have a handbag obsession that’s already slightly (or maybe not-so-slightly) out of control, today is your unlucky day. It girls have spoken — ultra-stylish and affordable bag brand Stand Oil is one to watch in 2026. Inspired by the timelessness of classic oil paintings, Stand Oil is a South Korean label melding luxury, minimalism, and creativity into one.

Yes, everyone from Bella Hadid to Blackpink’s Jennie have been spotted sporting something from this chic yet functional brand. While you’d normally expect its offerings to cost upward of $200, the best thing about the label is that most of its styles don’t even hit the $120 mark. The bad news, however, is that its bags are often sold out, thanks to the countless celebs that love them. While it’s a bummer that you have to act so quickly to snag one of these beauties, it pays to keep a close eye on the website as it often restocks.

For all the effortless and sophisticated it-girl favorites we’ve spotted recently, look no further. Ahead, you’ll find some of Stand Oil’s top offerings, along with styling inspo, courtesy of the brand’s celebrity fan base.

Olivia Rodrigo: Mushy Mini Bag in Camel

The Mushy Mini Bag in this neutral camel shade is a favorite of Olivia Rodrigo. For something a little *extra,* she added the brand’s Belted Heart Mirror Faux Leather Key Ring Bag Charm (currently on sale at Nordstrom for $15) in the same shade to match. This bag features a faux nubuck material with side snap buttons to maintain the bag’s slouchy, rectangular shape. It also has an exterior zip pocket and two open interior pockets. Color options include cream, camel, and classic black. While this one is currently sold out, there’s a restock scheduled for the end of April, so get in line now.

Jenna Ortega: Ringo Reversible Black Tote

Last summer, Jenna Ortega was seen leaving the Bowery Hotel with the brand’s $75 Ringo Reversible Black Tote. This style is also sold out (sigh), but the brand’s Mio Bucket Bag ($76) is a similar (although slightly slouchier) style that’s scheduled for a restock at the end of April. The Mio comes in black or maroon, with the former offering a patent leather finish and the latter a faux nubuck. It also features two internal open pockets and one zip pocket.

Slouchy bags are having a moment and this style is an easy entry point.

Charlie XCX: Mini Breezy Bag Metallic Grey

This bag is so on-brand for Charli. The Brat singer was recently spotted with Stand Oil’s Mini Breezy Bag in this unique light-reflective metallic shade that’s part of the brand’s SS26 collection. It features a smooth zip closure, two side pockets, two interior pockets, and a removable crossbody strap. It also comes in four different colors — metallic gray, yellow, plum, and misty white (a recent collab shade with Huh Yun-jin of Le Sserafim).

The mini size is perfect as an everyday bag, but the O.G. Breezy Bag offers a little more interior space for someone who’s always on the go. You’ll want to keep an eye out for color restocks on this particular style. It’s a hot commodity and frequently sold out.

The tassel’s on the bag add interest and cool boho vibes.
