How to get Pamela Anderson and Miley Cyrus' 'ghost lashes' look: The beauty trend that everyone is wearing

Cosmopolitan05-08-2025
Bobs, bixies and shags; We're all in the know with what's trending in the world of hair, but what about makeup? Well, per everyone's fave celebs – from Pamela Anderson to Miley Cyrus and even the 'It girls' on TikTok – 'ghost lashes' is the rising trend to know.
But with such an ambiguous name, what constitutes a ghost lash and how is the look best achieved? Keep on reading below to swot up on the next big thing in beauty...
Defined by their barely-there appearance, ghost lashes enhance one's natural lengths but without making too much of a statement. Think: Your lashes but a lil bit better. By adding slight definition via your lash curler or just a lick of mascara (you can opt for clear for minimal definition, brown for a whisper or black for a little more pigment), ghost lashes create an open yet fresh and natural look.
The latest celebrity to adopt the look? Miley Cyrus, who appeared on the cover of Perfect magazine overnight, with her take on the ghost lashes trend.
As mentioned, Miley's ghost lashes are in good company. Pamela Anderson has, arguably, fronted the look for a number of years after vowing to rock a mostly makeup-free face back in 2019. So, with six years under her belt, she sure does know how to rock a ghost lash.
While Pamela herself hasn't explicitly confirmed what she uses on her lashes – if anything – we would assume that she has implemented a lash serum into her routine, rather than a mascara. This makes for a more streamlined and minimal everyday makeup regimen.

In an age where everyone's chasing faster results with less (read: work smarter, not harder), we can see how the trend has taken off. Me personally? I'm going to stick with my spidery tubing formulas. But hey, each to their own!

Alicia Silverstone believes 'Clueless' and the '90s never went away, except for one thing

NEW YORK – Alicia Silverstone came to fame in the 1990s, long before the barrage of Instagram comments, TikTok algorithms and YouTube rabbit holes. And she acknowledges that she "can't imagine" what it would be like to start her career in this day and age. But there's one part of Silverstone's origin that the actress isn't sentimental about. "They're kinder to people now, aren't they?" Silverstone, 48, ponders. "(The media) used to be able to just rip a woman apart. Now you would not be allowed to do that." The actress doesn't see a lot of stories like the ones written about her in the '90s. There was the 1995 Rolling Stone profile that called Silverstone an actress "whom lots of men want to sleep with" (she was 18). Then there was the obsessive attention paid to her weight while filming 1997's "Batman & Robin." These days, "people would've come to my rescue, right?" she adds. "In any given moment, there's a group of people who have things to say, and then the other people come and they smash (the negative comments) down. Before, we didn't have that." Instead, following the coverage around her turn as Batgirl, Silverstone told The Guardian that she entered a period where she "stopped loving acting." But now Silverstone is as busy as ever, with roles on TV and in film, plus an upcoming trip to Venice Film Festival. Alicia Silverstone plays 'a powerful woman who likes sex' in 'Pretty Thing' Silverstone's first major film role came at 15 in the erotic thriller "The Crush." More than 30 years later, the actress returns to the genre with "Pretty Thing" (available on digital platforms). She plays Sophie, a successful executive who has an affair with a younger lover (Karl Glusman). The relationship takes a turn when Sophie tries to leave and he becomes obsessive. "She's a powerful, professional woman who likes sex," Silverstone says. "In the '90s, a lot of these erotic thrillers, if a woman likes sex, she had to be crazy or die or kill someone. What I like about ('Pretty Thing') is that Sophie likes sex and she's not the crazy one. He is." Silverstone will be back in movie theaters in October, reuniting with director Yorgos Lanthimos for the black comedy "Bugonia." She previously worked with the filmmaker on the 2017 psychological thriller 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer.' "Bugonia" stars Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons and will premiere in Venice, with Silverstone in attendance. "I've been fans of theirs for so long," Silverstone says of Stone and Plemons. "Even though I have a very small role in that film, I am just so happy to be there with them." Alicia Silverstone had 'severe exhaustion' working on 'Irish Blood' Silverstone's latest project is the series "Irish Blood" (first two episodes streaming now, new episodes Mondays on Acorn TV). The actress plays a Los Angeles attorney who travels to Ireland in hopes of uncovering a mystery about her father. Silverstone, also an executive producer on the six-episode run, resided about 45 minutes outside of Dublin during production. Working on "Irish Blood" "created severe exhaustion because the first whole month, every moment that I wasn't shooting, I was working on the scripts with the writers," Silverstone recalls, though the experience was still "wonderful." "I'm so grateful that I get to do this artistic fun thing." Usually, she practices her lines and scenes at least a month out. Instead, she would "run lines" while in the makeup chair that morning, sometimes for as little as 20 minutes. "I would, between takes (and) scenes, be learning the next thing," Silverstone says. "It's really full on mental. There's no downtime, that's for darn sure." Alicia Silverstone calls 'Clueless,' 'this amazing, thrilling thing' Following "The Crush," Silverstone appeared in three music videos for Aerosmith, including "Cryin'." This led to her landing the role of Cher Horowitz in 1995's cult classic "Clueless." She's enjoyed celebrating the film's 30th anniversary, including a screening in June at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. "No one could have known that it would be such a cultural phenomenon," says Silverstone, who's thankful it's reaching a new generation. Silverstone remembers walking in a Florida shopping mall while filming the "The Requin" in 2020. "These 14-year-olds were staring at me and I thought, 'Why are they staring at me?' And they came over like, 'Ah!' and then I realized, 'Oh, (the movie has) really caught on again.' " "Clueless" isn't the only '90s relic having a moment. The nostalgia has hit music as well, where TRL-era acts like Backstreet Boys, Nelly, the Goo Goo Dolls and Oasis are all enjoying successful residencies and summer tours. "I remember people talking about the '90s were back, and that was a long time ago," Silverstone says with a laugh. "The '90s has come back and it keeps coming back. I don't think it ever went away."

Sobbing influencers blame ChatGPT for ruining a dream vacation

AI is only as intelligent as its users. An influencer couple has gone viral after missing their flight to Puerto Rico — thanks, they claim, to a visa mix-up caused by ChatGPT. An influencer is claiming that ChatGPT gave her the wrong information for her international trip, which caused her to miss her flight. Getty Images Advertisement In a now-viral TikTok video, which has clocked over 13 thousand views, Mery Caldass — a content creator with nearly 100,000 followers — can be seen in tears, roaming the airport as her boyfriend, Alejandro Cid, tries to console her. 'Look, I always do a lot of research, but I asked ChatGPT and they said no,' Caldass, speaking Spanish, tearfully explains, referring to whether the couple was required to obtain a visa to visit Puerto Rico. However, if they had checked official government sites, they would have learned that while Spanish citizens don't need a visa, they do need an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization). Advertisement Unfortunately for the couple, they relied on artificial intelligence without fact-checking it. Adding some comic relief to her meltdown, Caldass accused ChatGPT of holding a grudge. 'Look, I always do a lot of research, but I asked ChatGPT and they said no,' Mery Caldass tearfully explains, referring to whether the couple was required to obtain a visa to visit Puerto Rico. TikTok/merycaldass 'I don't trust that one anymore because sometimes I insult him. I call him a bastard, you're useless, but inform me well … that's his revenge.' Advertisement Some users have applauded her ability to find humor amid her devastation. Others were less forgiving. @merycaldass si hay una revolución de las IAs voy a ser la primera 4niquil-hada🧚‍♀️ ♬ sonido original – Mery Caldass 'Well, natural selection, I guess,' wrote one unimpressed commenter. 'If you are going to take a transoceanic trip and you put all your advice in ChatGPT, little has happened to you.' Another added, 'But who trusts ChatGPT for those types of situations?' Advertisement To be fair to the AI, some commenters defended ChatGPT, pointing out that the couple may have simply asked the wrong question — they didn't need a visa, but they never asked about an ESTA. The pair eventually made it to the island to catch a show by one of their favorite artists, Bad Bunny. Caldass and Cid's travel tragedy follows hot on the heels of other AI horror stories. Dangerous advice from ChatGPT recently landed a 60-year-old man in the hospital with hallucinations, instructed 13-year-olds how to get drunk and high, and sabotaged women by advising them to ask for lower salaries.

Cat Grieving Passing of Doggy Sibling Can't Stop Looking at His Picture

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The moment an owner captured her cat staring at a photo on the wall left viewers in a puddle of tears when they learned which picture made him stop in his tracks. TikTok user @ said the family's 13-year-old German shepherd, Rocco, recently crossed over the rainbow bridge. His absence left a giant hole in their hearts, especially for their cat, Louie, as he's navigating a new normal without his friend. Pets often feel the loss of humans or other animals because the structure and dynamic of the family changes, according to an article from the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine. Like humans, pets who live together bond. Grieving pets might show new behaviors, such as searching for lost sibling, increase or decrease of vocalization, changes in amount of attention wanted, appetite, mood and personality. @ Our beautiful 13 year old German Shepherd, Rocco, went to heaven on 7/11/25. I caught our sweet cat, Louie, just sitting on the edge of the couch staring at Rocco's picture. We are all grieving the loss of our furry family member. Animals share our emotions, love them while you have them. We all miss him so very much.💔pets germanshepherd catspetloss petlossgrief petlosssupport furbabies ♬ Feelings - Jurrivh In the July 26 TikTok video, the owner captured a heartbreaking moment of the cat missing his friend. A picture of Rocco hanging on the wall grabbed Louie's attention. He climbed onto the couch and stood on the edge, getting as close as possible to see Rocco's smiling face. Louie paused, then lowered himself all the way to the couch. Stretching out his paws, he reached for his sibling's picture. The owner shared in the comment section: "I appreciate everyone's comments, my heart is so broken. I was in awe just watching this moment, sobbing my heart out. Sad, yet so beautiful to see the love we all share with one another. Pets are family, this dog was our baby boy. His absence is gut-wrenching." The TikTok video reached 167,600 views and 31,400 likes as of Thursday, as viewers rushed to the comment section with their condolences.

And hugs to you and the Kitty too," one person wrote. Another added: "We don't deserve animals. Their love is so pure and unconditional. This has me crying!"
