Forbes3 days ago
Heading on vacation this summer? From gorgeous, versatile dresses that can carry you from day to night, to resort-ready shoes that are somehow both comfortable and chic (yes, they do exist), here are the must-haves I'll be packing to vacation in style.
Marie Oliver Dixon Dress

Marie Oliver prints are truly inspired designs that characterize luxury. The bottle green color of the Dixon Dress in the Amazon print is stunning.

I love the versatility of this dress, too, and how easy it is to dress up or down with just a few accessory changes.

This dress from Seafolly is the perfect 'throw it on and go' resort dress, and I am obsessed with this print! I love the ode to vintage Polaroids and the bright colors. The soft linen fabric is so comfy that I almost fell asleep wearing it by the pool!

For him, you cannot go wrong with the Merino wool half zip; this gorgeous lightweight sweater will keep him warm while saving space in the suitcase (for you!).
Rails Fawn Dress

My suitcase for every trip will, without fail, have a Rails dress in it (or two), but the Fawn Dress from Rails is one of my favorite resort pieces. It has stunning embroidery, a gorgeous neckline, and ultra-flattering shape. I love that this piece can be worn day to night and still makes me look polished.

Hudson Devon High-Rise Boyfriend Short

Hudson Jeans makes some of my favorite denim shorts. The length of these shorts and the well-placed distressing make this a flattering staple piece for all my summer trips. For that relaxed vacation look, pair these cutoffs with a classic white tee and sandals, and you're ready for brunch!

'Bachelor in Paradise''s Hannah Brown reacts to Justin's rose ceremony shocker: 'I did NOT see that coming'

Each week during Bachelor in Paradise, Head of Paradise relations (and former Bachelorette) Hannah Brown will answer a few questions about the cast's "journey" to find "love." Today, Hannah shares her thoughts on the "chemistry test" smooch-fest, Justin's attempt to sacrifice his spot on the beach for Susie, and more. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Brian immediately started ignoring Zoe the morning after she gave him a rose, and then ultimately dumped her for Parisa. What do you think of the way Zoe handled the situation, and what advice would you give Parisa in terms of moving forward with Brian? HANNAH BROWN: My heart went out to Zoe, y'all. There was a clear shift the morning after the rose ceremony — especially once Parisa showed up. Zoe is just the sweetest, but Paradise is all about exploring new connections... even though I totally get why she felt thrown off. Brian's energy was confusing, and when she did try to speak up, it felt like he wasn't really hearing her — just kind of deflecting. Now I'm super curious to see where things go with Parisa and Brian. There might be something there, for sure — but I also hope Parisa takes full advantage of this experience and stays open to exploring other people, too. This week's "chemistry test" had the contestants smooching multiple people. Explain why this is a helpful exercise and not just unsanitary and a little awkward. Co-hosting the chemistry test date this week was so fun! I loved it. It's such a cool way to really check in with those early connections and test new ones — like, is there actually something there, or are you just caught up in the moment and not giving the others a shot? And the best part: No judgement or outside noise. It felt fresh, different from anything we've seen on the show before, and honestly... I think it helped people start asking the right questions early on. Jonathon gave Alexe his rose, but Wells says he's not sure he sees a romantic connection between them. Where do you stand on this question? I loved how Alexe opened up about their strong friendship — and honestly, that kind of bond can be such a good starting point for something more. Sometimes the best relationships come from a solid friendship first! I'm still holding out hope for these two. We'll see what happens next. What was your reaction to Justin's decision to give his rose to his ex Susie so she wouldn't go home? You can just tell there's something really genuine between those two. Like, even in the way they talk about respecting each other and their individual journeys — it's clear there's a deep friendship there. And honestly, the way he chose to protect her and give her a chance to stay one more week? That says a lot. He put her first in that moment, and there's something really admirable about that. Before Susie even arrived on the beach, Lexi temporarily broke it off with Justin because she's worried he still has feelings for Susie. Now that Justin tried (and failed) to give his rose to his ex, do you think there's any hope for him and Lexi? Okay that ending?! I did not see that coming. I'm honestly still processing. There is so much going on, and I'm real curious to see how it all unfolds next episode. My heart kinda hurts for everyone involved. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. Bachelor in Paradise airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

Soft serve nails: The viral summer manicure that's as sweet as it sounds

There's a manicure trend that's making its way not-so-stealthily across Tiktok, celebrity fingertips and salon chairs this summer, which is just as sweet, smooth and nostalgic as it sounds. Cue soft serve nails: A delectable, milky dream of a manicure that blends the best bits of a French manicure with a gel ombré and - you've guessed it - ice cream. A creamy, buttery array of subtle, sorbet shades, whipped pinks and creamy nudes that melt seamlessly into sheer, milky white at the nail tip, soft serve nails are finished with a high-gloss top coat. Think colour that is seamlessly 'churned' - if you will -with no beginning or end: strawberry and vanilla swirls, subtle raspberry ripple or even creamy apricot. This is a manicure breed that blends minimal elegance with playful charm. But why - when nail trends come and go as they do - has this one gone quite so stratospheric? Put simply, it's feminine, low-effort and utterly versatile, but still delivers the quiet elegance and understated luxury that we all want and need right now. Then of course - of course - there's the fact that it aligns with the clean girl aesthetic which continues to reign supreme and go absolutely nowhere fast. Yes, this is the kind of manicure that doesn't shout or scream, but steadily clocks up compliments everywhere from the coffee queue, to cocktails and nursery pickup. Celebrity manicurist Harriet Westmoreland (@harrietwestmoreland) has earned a global reputation for her meticulous work in recent years, and has done much to take minimal manicure trends like this one viral time and time and time again. Queen of the modern French, she has been sliding variations of the soft serve into her summer appointments and social feeds over the last months, keeping her iterations glossy, clean and short. Then of course there's our perennial manicure muse, Hailey Bieber who has been out and about in LA this summer with a soft blend of pinky nude with whisper-white tips. Word has it - just F.Y.I that her go-to picks are OPI Bubble Bath and Funny Bunny. Of course you do! Ask your nail tech for a soft ombré or milky gradient using milky, pastel shades. Or fancy some DIY? Apply two coats of your chosen varnish before adding a dot of creamy white polish onto a sponge and tapping it onto the tip of the nail, building up intensity slowly until you have the seamless gradient required. Finish with a glossy topcoat like Seche Vite instant Gel Effect Top Coat (£9.95, for that irresistible ice cream shine. My personal picks to try this trend? Essie Sugar Daddy, (£8.99, OPI Nail Polish in Funny Bunny and Bubble Bath (£15.60 each, Manucurist Natural Nail Polish in Blossom (£14, Hermes Nail Polish in Rose Coquille, (£46, Biosculpture Nail Polish in Sweet Candy Breath, Peach Whip and Strawberry French (£15.50 each, plus The GelBottle Gels in Daisy and Gloss.

The 10 Saddest TV Deaths of All Time, Ranked

TV shows have an amazing ability to captivate your heart and make you feel true admiration for the characters on it. That's precisely why it cuts so deep when our favorite characters have an untimely or shocking death. Here are 10 absolutely devastating TV deaths that still stick with us to this day. PS: Major spoilers ahead! Jack Pearson wasn't just a character; he was the emotional backbone of This Is Us. His unwavering love for his family and the way he carried their emotional burdens made his death nearly impossible to watch. After surviving a house fire, Jack dies unexpectedly from cardiac arrest due to smoke inhalation. The slow build-up and heartbreak in the hospital left fans reeling, and his absence was felt through every future timeline the show explored. Lexie Grey was the heart of : smart, sensitive, and deeply kind. Her growth from the shy new intern to a beloved surgeon made her death all the more heartbreaking. In the Season 8 finale, Lexie tragically dies in a plane crash, pinned beneath wreckage while Mark Sloan confesses his love for her. Fans were left anguished by the suddenness of it all, and her final moments remain one of the most painful in the show's history. Richard Gilmore's passing was especially heartbreaking because it mirrored the real-life death of actor Edward Herrmann. When returned, it handled his absence with care and respect. Watching Emily, Lorelai, and Rory each grieve him in their own way provided fans with a moving tribute, not only to a beloved character but to the actor himself. Derek's unexpected death after a car accident left fans completely shattered. Despite saving lives at the scene, he was fatally injured and denied proper treatment himself—a cruel twist of fate. Watching Meredith say goodbye, alone, to the love of her life while "Chasing Cars" played was emotionally gutting. McDreamy's death marked the end of an era and reminded fans that was never afraid to break hearts. Glenn's shocking and brutal death at the hands of Negan marked a turning point in The Walking Dead's tone. With no music, no fade-out, just the raw horror of the moment, it was a scene that haunted viewers. What made it worse? Watching Maggie, pregnant with their child, witness it all. Being one of the most peaceful and kind-hearted characters in the show, Poussey's death came as a complete shock. During a protest-turned-riot at Litchfield, she was accidentally suffocated by a guard in a chillingly realistic and raw moment that sparked a riot among inmates and outrage among viewers. Her death felt deeply personal, and the social commentary behind it only deepened the sorrow. Her memory lived on through the foundation her best friend, Taystee, later created in her honor. Cory Monteith's untimely death shook fans around the world, which made it fitting for the show to dedicate an emotional tribute episode to him. The episode, "The Quarterback" brought the characters together to mourn the loss of Finn Hudson, a kind-hearted and soulful character who was the moral center of the group. Finn's death was left ambiguous in the show, but the grief shown by the characters mirrored the real-life loss of Monteith. The blend of fiction and reality allowed viewers to process both the character's and the actor's passing, making it one of the most impactful episodes in TV history. Who knew a TV show about an anthropomorphic horse could be this gut-wrenching? BoJack Horseman follows a washed-up TV star with self-destructive tendencies, and no character reflects that pain more than Sarah Lynn. Once a child star, Sarah Lynn struggled with her identity and substance abuse for years. Her tragic downfall came to a head in the episode That's Too Much, Man!, when she overdosed during a drug-fueled bender with BoJack. The fact that BoJack waited hours before calling for help made her death even more devastating. For longtime viewers, it was a gut punch—proof that in BoJack's world, actions have consequences, and some apologies come too late. Opie's death in Sons of Anarchy was a gut-punch no fan was prepared for. Loyal to the end, Opie sacrifices himself in prison to protect his brothers, beaten to death in front of Jax. The brutal and unrelenting nature of the scene, combined with Opie's quiet acceptance, made it one of the most emotionally devastating moments in the series. His loss haunted the club—and the show—for seasons to come. Despite his ruthless demeanor, Logan Roy's sudden death in shocked everyone. A titan in the world of media, Logan seemed almost invincible—until he wasn't. His death, occurring offscreen on a plane, stripped viewers (and his children) of closure. The abruptness mirrored the chaotic nature of the Roy family dynamic and left a power vacuum that intensified the series' emotional and political unraveling. Looking for more & news?
