I feel so confident and comfortable in this bathing suit!" —Kristina Price: $26.98 (available in sizes XS–3X and seven colors)
A two-piece swim set with a cute halter top that you can totally wear, even while not at the pool or beach! Pair this with a flowing skirt when going on a beach town brunch with friends.
Promising review: "So cute!! Stays in place. A bit cheeky. It's full coverage in the front, you can barely see my belly button. But the back is a little cheeky." —JodiPrice: $17.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 19 colors)
And a cutout one-piece that serves two-piece energy without the panic of your top flying off you mid-wave or disappearing into the black hole that is your swimsuit drawer.
Promising review: "I get more compliments on this swimsuit than anything else I own! I am thicker than I would like, but I still have a thin build overall. My kids, my friends, everyone says it looks nice. And with the cutout, I get the bikini feel without the actual bikini. I can't say enough good things about this suit. I came back to order another because when it inevitably wears out, I will be so sad if I don't have another!" —Jeannine Price: $17.79 (available in sizes S–XXL and 10 colors)

National Lobster Day is celebrated on June 15. While steamed lobster on a plate is always appealing – isn't this holiday a great opportunity to kick the creativity up a notch? Restaurants nationwide are giving lobster the special treatment, as it so richly deserves. Spicy, fried, or with pasta – there's endless creative and delicious ways to enjoy the most luxurious of crustaceans as you never have before. Seared Lobster Tails With a Cashew, Fennel Glaze, and Palak Sauce at LORE Brooklyn. Delicate lobster is bursting with a blend of unexpected flavors that pair beautifully.

'As we're just steps from the ocean, we wanted to create something that reflects where we are,' said Chef Travis McGinty. 'The lobster knuckles 'escargot-style' nods to a classic French technique, but swaps in local lobster, which feels true to our cooking and our style. It's a new dish on the menu, but it has quickly become a local favorite." Maine Lobster Pot Pie at Bourbon Steak DC.

'Bourbon Steak was born here in DC, and it's been incredible to see the Lobster Pot Pie become a hallmark of the MINA experience nationwide. It's one of those dishes that stops people in their tracks. When the crust cracks and that lobster bisque starts pouring in, there's this collective hush at the table. No matter where it's served, it delivers effortless indulgence and that unmistakable wow factor," said Quentin Welch, Executive Chef, Bourbon Steak DC. Lobster BLT at Sailor's Choice, Hudson Yards in New York City.

Served on a griddled bun and finished with a bright tarragon aioli, it's both familiar and indulgent. Kerry Heffernan, Culinary Director at Sailor's Choice says: 'We created the Lobster BLT as the ultimate mash-up — the soul of a classic BLT meets the lobster roll we've been perfecting for over a decade at Grand Banks. We use heirloom tomatoes at their sun-ripened best, Nodine's incredible smoked bacon, and our signature lobster roll base. It's everything we love about coastal summer days, packed into one killer bite.' Lobster Rolls at Cathedrale. At Cathedrale in New York City and Las Vegas, this dish featuring sweet Maine lobster is dressed in Calabrian chile mayo for a subtle kick, topped with fresh chives, and served on housemade Pain au Lait buns. 'We treat high quality ingredients like sweet Maine lobster, simply dressed and kicked up a notch with Calabrian chile-spiked mayo to offer the best of a Connecticut-style, lightly dressed and married with the just-warm-enough, buttery house-made pain au lait bun, to offer the decadence of a Maine-style roll all wrapped into one,' said Chef Jason Hall.

Lobster Roll Éclair at Bar Collins at Loews Miami Beach Hotel.

Loews Miami Beach Hotel's Executive Chef Christopher Aguirre says, 'This dish keeps the soul of a classic lobster roll - creamy mayo, butter, celery and Maine lobster, but reimagines it with a light éclair in place of the bun. Fresh vanilla bean in the mayo adds a floral sweetness that complements the lobster, while diced apple brings crunch and brightness. A citrus-ginger gel and fresh tarragon finish it with bold pops of flavor.' Lobster Roll at Benny's on the Beach in Lake Worth Beach, Florida. At Benny's on the Beach in Lake Worth Beach, Florida, they've been serving Maine lobster rolls for nearly 40 years at its landmark location perched above the Atlantic Ocean on the Lake Worth Pier. 'While we serve up both warm and cool temp versions at Benny's, our warm lobster roll on a split-top brioche roll complete with house made garlic butter is by far a best selling menu item, despite our warm climate year round. I attribute this to our house made tomato relish, an unexpected ingredient on our warm roll which most guests are surprised by, but end up falling in love with,' said Dylan Lipton, Co-Owner, Benny's on the Beach.

A whole lobster is served over creamy Tteokbokki mac and cheese, layered with fermented kimchi and sweet corn. 'One of our owners, actually threw out the idea of Tteokbokki in a random meeting, and it stuck with me. Later, when someone suggested lobster mac and cheese for a revamp, I knew that wasn't us. I stopped by the local Asian market, saw the Tteokbokki, and it all clicked bringing in those known flavors and old memories but making them ours. I leaned into the process, bringing in the Filthy Animal edge and letting the dish come together with our mother house sauce, Mala. This wasn't just about reworking a dish, it was about creating something bold, fun, and totally Filthy Animal," said Chef Rene Vargas, Executive Chef of Filthy Animal.

The pasta is buttery with olive and garlic, accented by the texture and smoked paprika of Spanish chorizo. The best part is finishing it off by dragging the lobster and crab cake stuffing through the sauce for a truly mouthwatering bite," said Chef Kyle Bateman, Executive Sous Chef Wren & Wolf.

How to stream ‘Jaws' (and all the sequels) this weekend
Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Advertisement 'Jaws 2' Picking up four years after the events of the first film, 1978's 'Jaws 2″ sees Amity Island facing another killer shark threat. While Spielberg did not return to direct the sequel, with those duties going to French director Jeannot Szwarc, it did feature the return of Scheider, who reprises his role as police chief Brody. Lorraine Gary, who plays Brody's wife Ellen in 'Jaws,' also returns, as does Murray Hamilton as the infamous Mayor Vaughn. Available on Tubi through Saturday; streams on Peacock beginning Sunday Advertisement 'Jaws 3-D' Directed by Joe Alves, the second sequel, 1983's 'Jaws 3-D' (or just 'Jaws III' if you've left your red and blue glasses in the '80s), ditches Amity Island for SeaWorld and a new cast of characters facing their own fishy situation. Dennis Quaid stars as Mike Brody, the son of Scheider's character, an engineer at the theme park who, along with girlfriend and biologist Kay (Bess Armstrong), face off with — you guessed it — a massive shark that's infiltrated SeaWorld. Thankfully, they get a little help from the park's resident dolphins, Cindy and Sandy. Available on Tubi through Saturday; streams on Peacock beginning Sunday 'Jaws: The Revenge' The fourth film, 1987's 'Jaws: The Revenge' directed by Joseph Sargent, is the laughable last entry in the saga. Despite its poor reception from critics and fans, it does feature an interesting main cast, with Gary reprising her role as Ellen from the first two films, while Oscar winner Michael Caine plays franchise newcomer Hoagie. Following the death of her son from yet another shark attack on Amity Island, Ellen (now a widow) absconds to the Bahamas to be with her family in mourning. However, a shark with a familiar set of teeth is there looking to exact some sweet revenge.

Outdated millennial fashion staple could be poised for a comeback /
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The 2010s called, and they want their dresses back. The club classic bandage dress has officially returned to the fashion zeitgeist, with celebrities and influencers stepping back in time to embrace the skintight silhouette. The body-hugging dress—made of intersecting strips or panels resembling bandages—first debuted on the runway in 1992, after its invention in the 1980s by French designer Hervé Léger. The iconic style quickly became a staple of early 2000s and 2010s nightlife, made famous by stars such as Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, Blake Lively, Beyoncé, and Victoria Beckham. Celebrities such as Hailey Bieber and Kaia Gerber have recently been spotted in the sleek silhouette—and even Pippa Middleton was seen in a variation of the formfitting look, signaling that the trend is back in rotation. File photo: Kaia Gerber poses at Princess of Wales Theatre on September 12, 2024 in Toronto, Ontario. File photo: Kaia Gerber poses at Princess of Wales Theatre on September 12, 2024 in Toronto, Ontario. Getty Images Entertainment/Sonia Recchia / Stringer Jennifer Johnson, founder of True Fashionistas—the largest lifestyle resale store in Florida—has observed this revival firsthand. She told Newsweek that demand for bandage dresses has surged. "Every time we get one in, it sells rather quickly." Johnson noted that customers are increasingly signing up for the store's wishlist for Hervé Léger. "Fashion always recycles itself, and it's time for the bandage dress to have its day again," Johnson said. "We've gone from having a lot of flowy, floral, and very girly looks to people being tired of that aesthetic. They want to show off their figure and look sexy again—and I think that has played a large part in why this dress is back." File photo: Victoria Beckham poses at Marc Jacobs Spring 2008 during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at the New York State Armory on September 10, 2007 in New York City. File photo: Victoria Beckham poses at Marc Jacobs Spring 2008 during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at the New York State Armory on September 10, 2007 in New York City. Djamilla Rosa Cochran/WireImage Johnson added that Gen Z is driving much of the demand, describing them as a generation that embraces both current and throwback looks. "This generation is very concerned about sustainability, and perhaps that's why we are seeing these dresses become so popular on the resale market," she said. "The price may also be part of it, considering the cost of a new dress is upward of $1,000. House of CB, a popular U.K.-based fashion label known for curve-accentuating evening wear, announced its own return to the trend with a new collection. In an Instagram post shared last week, the brand launched its new collection: "Bandage is back and better than ever." On its website, House of CB added, "We heard you OG's—our iconic House of CB silhouette is back. Your favorite bandage dresses are contoured to perfection and ready for the dance floor." However, not everyone is a fan. Georgie James (@georgiejxmes) tried on the new collection and shared the results on her TikTok page, amassing more than 1.7 million views. She said she felt the tight silhouettes suited only skinny and hourglass figures. James told Newsweek: "I think it's an attempt to return to a time that feels simpler in hindsight. The decline of the nightclub, to many feels like a decline in fun in general, especially with the emphasis nowadays on living 'clean'; clean makeup, clean food, etc. "The bandage dress resurgence is an attempt to return to fun. I fear that ship has sailed somewhat, and the bandage dress definitely doesn't suit a wide range of figures, as I demonstrated. But I can't begrudge the attempt." The resurgence of the bandage dress has pleased nostalgic millennials elsewhere on social media. One user posted: "I love bandage I was that girl wearing bandage dresses all the time." Another wrote, "The 2010s are back!!" while a third commented: "Bandage dresses being back is a recession indicator." TikTok creator Grace summed it up: "It's 2009. I've squeezed myself into an H & M bandage dress. My side fringe is blocking my vision. Stilettos on, I'm ready to hit the club in my business casual blazer. Life is good."
