31 Surprisingly Stylish Pieces From Amazon
A bow-backed babydoll one could reasonably assume was from Anthropologie or J. Crew. It just screams, "I'm going to the Hamptons this weekend." An adorable tennis skort that will have you leaping for joy — without flashing anyone. Why? Because this amazing piece comes with A POCKET! A sheer lace-style top that you can wear under a dress or overalls for extra texture during the day or over a dark bralette for a sultry look at night. A pair of trendy mesh ballet flats that bear a striking resemblance to a certain Alaïa pair, but without you needing to take an extra mortgage out. Or a pair of mesh jelly sandals because I will not let you spend almost $800 on jellies. With these, you can try out the trend, let your tootsies breathe, and shout "Row, shmow!" A swimsuit with ruched sides and drawstrings that allow you to customize your fit, sort of like a corset. Reviewers like that the strings can change how much coverage you get, so you can adjust the look throughout the day. A pull-on midi skirt so you can finally pull off THE Instagram fashionista look: tied tee, chunky chain, Baggu crescent bag, sneaks, and this amazing skirt. And once you're sick of that look, you can style it a million other ways, from sandals to big boots. A comfy long-sleeve/short set that's the closest you're getting to wearing pajamas to the group hang. The stripes are SO cute, I wouldn't blame you if you wore these from bed to brunch. A pair of rhinestone cutout jeans you may have seen worn by a certain pop star at a certain football game. OK, not this exact pair — we're not all millionaires — but close enough! A chic lil' shoulder purse so you can feel as effortlessly cool as a Parisian without any of the risks that come with living in Paris — getting Ratatouille'd, for example. A lightweight crewneck cardigan sweater you can count on to keep you warm in the mornings and evenings when the sun isn't quite ready for the job. I would say this is a great choice for chilly offices, but we all know we need a full-on parka for that type of tundra. 🥶 A simple, reliable tank with a fun V-neck that spices up an otherwise normal basic. Despite its low price, customers are happy with the quality and fit. One reviewer said it feels "soft like satin or silk." Or if you'd prefer a crewneck (and maybe a fun pattern), a tank you'll be glad to have for every grocery store run, outdoor dinner, or intense mini golf game. Wear as a tunic with leggings, tuck it into some high-waisted pants, or — you know, what? You can kinda style this anyway you want. It's that versatile. A puffy sleeve top so darling, even teddy bears will get jealous. The square neckline is basically like a giant spotlight for your favorite necklace. Chunky ankle boots in a timeless sillouette to give any outfit a little edge and a lot of comfort. The elastic sides make it easy to throw these on, so I foresee these being your go-to boots. Breathable and machine-washable pointed-toe flats with stretchy knit uppers that'll have you tap dancing with glee when you try them on. When your dancing shoes start to get dingy, just toss 'em in the wash. A beautiful tennis bracelet no one has to know is actually made with zirconia. You just need to decide if you want yellow, white, or rose gold plating — or OK, all three. A layered necklace set with three classic chains — herringbone, curb, and rope — that'll elevate any outfit, even your dog-walking uniform. Thanks to their gold plating, the necklaces are hypoallergenic and tarnish-resistant, making them a great budget option when solid gold is out of the question. A spandex-blend slip maxi dress that's the closest you can get to wearing a nightgown outside while still looking ready for date night. Reviewers say that this fabric is not only comparable to a certain Skims dress, it might actually be even better. And a scoop-neck tee offering the same buttery softness as the beloved Skims top. Bonus: This one comes in more colors than it costs. A midi corset dress if you love the House of CB Carmen dress but not the price. ($225?!) You can still enjoy a cinched back, front tie, and all the compliments of the real deal. A quilted floral jacket perfect for unpredictable weather. Can't complain about chilly mornings when it's an excuse to wear something this cute. A pair of crossover flared leggings providing a silhouette so enticing, you'll find yourself getting distracted every time you see your reflection. If the 5,800+ happy reviewers are to be believed, these pants are so comfortable, you'll be asking questions like, "can I wear these to a wedding?" And a super-soft longline sports bra some have compared to Lululemon's Align tank top for an Equinox-level workout look at a Planet Fitness price. Reviewers say it offers a little less compression, so you can wear it on casual days, too. A tie-front cropped shirt perfect for making your vacation pics even more memorable. Remember that time we went to the boardwalk and we couldn't go more than 10 steps because people kept complimenting you? A bodycon pencil dress because you can alwaaaays use another LBD. Whether it's formal or casual, it all comes down to the right accessories — love a do-everything piece! A large satin scarf that's so versatile, it'll likely be named "most worn" by You magazine. You can style it as a scarf, top, belt — or tie it around your bag when your tote wants to accessorize, too. High-waisted palazzo trousers because they offer all the comfort of sweats while still serving up major voted-best-dressed-in-high-school looks. A denim pencil skirt that goes with pretty much anything but is still special enough to get a ton of "where did you get that?"s. A stretchy faux-wrap tee if you're stuck in a T-shirt rut. You can still wear tees — this one is just a step in a new direction. A pair of retro-style oval sunglasses so similar to Miu Miu, you could possibly trick friends into thinking you splurged on a $489 pair. Just be sure to correct them before they expect you to pay for lunch. A lantern-sleeve mini that says "Cinderella on a casual day" to me. Just look at those romantic puff sleeves and back ribbon that was definitely tied by birds! A tiered maxi skirt seen on many a Pinterest board. This dreamy chiffon number is double-layered, so it isn't see-through or likely to blow up in the wind. A lacey corset top that is basically screaming, "hey, can you take a picture of me?" Whether it's you at the trendy new cocktail bar or just picking up a coffee order, the likes are gonna come roooollllingg in. A square-neck cami proving that less is more. Pair it with some jeans and start aura farming! Reviewers rave that this basic feels high-end, citing the super soft, double-layered fabric and amazing fit. A cute faux-wrap dress for basically all occasions. One flight attendant says this dress is great for packing on trips, thanks to its lightweight material! Strappy chunky heels perfect for tearing it up on the dance floor this wedding season. Despite the solid, budget-friendly price, reviewers confirm there's no painful break-in period. A one-shouldered dress that's slightly toga-like, which gives you the perfect excuse to declare this your Italian summer. Someone needs to order you an olive plate and Aperol Spritz STAT. A pair of high-waisted biker shorts you should buy now before summer is in full swing and you're staring at your dresser wondering what you can put on that you won't sweat through in 90 seconds. These shorts + giant T-shirt = summer uniform. A crescent bag that perfectly straddles the line between formal and casual. I can easily see you wearing this cutie every darn day! A cross-strap bikini totally worth the unusual tan lines you might get from wearing it. Picturing you and this swimsuit taking long romantic walks on the beach. :')

Nicholas Hoult On Looking "Inbred," Viral Interview
Nicholas Hoult was just 11 years old when he first found fame as Hugh Grant's young costar in the 2002 hit movie About A Boy. Since then, his career has flourished, with Nicholas also being known for his performance as Tony Stonem in the gritty British series Skins, as well as a whole bunch of popular movies like Warm Bodies and The Menu. Nick has also joined some huge franchises, including Mad Max and X-Men. Most recently, he has garnered huge acclaim for his performance as villain Lex Luthor in the latest Superman movie. And throughout his career, the star has been no stranger to fans thirsting over him — but a recently resurfaced 2023 interview suggests that he hasn't let this attention go to his head... In fact, Nick had a straight-up bizarre response to a radio host asking him about his good looks, and how left-field his answer was has led to the actor going pretty viral on X. In an interview with Hits radio, Nick was asked: 'How does it feel, in life, being such a beautiful person?'The star was clearly taken aback by this question and blushed as he laughed and thanked the interviewer for the compliment. He then said: 'That's weird. I read something recently, I did a show called The Great, I play the emperor of Russia in that, and I saw a comment of someone on Twitter that said: 'He looks like just the right amount of inbred to be a royal.'' 'And so I don't think I'm conventionally very handsome or anything,' Nick went on. 'I don't have the perks of being handsome because I look more inbred.' Needless to say, people can't get enough of this response, with one X user sharing a video of the interview alongside the caption: 'this is how I take compliments btw.' The tweet has already been seen over a million times, and has racked up thousands of likes, replies, and reply asked: 'Nicholas Hoult is one of my very few male celebrity crushes and he thinks he looks inbred?!''Wdym Nicholas Hoult doesn't think he is handsome????????' somebody else joked: 'I've been saying he's hot since he was in skins what more does he need.'While one more reasoned: 'He doesn't look inbred he's just English.'

‘Willy Wonka' child star reveals how much he still earns from the iconic movie
The residuals from this film did not produce the golden ticket. Fifty-four years after 'Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory' hit theaters in 1971, Peter Ostrum revealed how much he makes from the movie today. Ostrum, 67, who played Charlie Bucket, the lucky winner of the golden ticket, shared in 2018 while at the Snowtown Film Festival that he received $8 to $9 in royalties every three months.

Regardless of the monetary amount, Ostrum felt lucky to have had the experience. Advertisement 8 Peter Ostrum in the 2023 documentary 'Remembering Gene Wilder.' Courtesy Everett Collection 'Everybody could be so lucky to have an experience like this and then to go in a completely different direction,' he told the 'Today' show in 2015. 'Willy Wonka' was based on Roald Dahl's 1964 book, and followed five kids who won a golden ticket to tour a magical factory belonging to Wonka (Gene Wilder). The project's initial release made $4 million at the box office. Advertisement 8 Peter Ostrum in the 1971 film. Courtesy Everett Collection After the movie, Ostrum stepped away from Hollywood, but still looks back at his time as a child star fondly. 'There was a little bit of fanfare but not much, and the film died a quiet death,' Ostrum said during a 2018 interview with the Daily Mirror. 'Back then, when the film came out, there was no red-carpet premiere. I was in my hometown in Ohio. It had lukewarm reviews and people forgot about it.' 'It wasn't until video 10 years later that it resurfaced and it took on a life of its own,' he added. 'We had no idea at the time that it would have any kind of success at all, so it's pretty neat that it is still so loved.' Advertisement 8 Peter Ostrum poses at The Hollywood Show in 2014. WireImage Ostrum originally nabbed the role of Charlie after being spotted by talent agents at a children's theater show in Cleveland, Ohio. He had 10 days to leave his hometown and move to Munich, Germany, to shoot the movie with Wilder for five months. Ostrum reflected on his time with the legendary actor, who died at age 83 in 2016. 8 Peter Ostrum in a scene from 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.' Courtesy Everett Collection The retired veterinarian said Wilder 'treated people with respect and dignity' and took on a fatherly role. The 'Blazing Saddles' alum even coached Ostrum in acting. The former actor said Wilder's death was 'like losing a parent,' even though the two hadn't kept in touch. Advertisement 8 Gene Wilder and Peter Ostrum. Courtesy Everett Collection Once filming wrapped, Ostrum spent a week in California after being offered a three-movie deal. He ultimately decided to turn it down. Ostrum's parents had bought him a horse to celebrate the release of 'Willy Wonka,' and he realized his passion lay with animals. 'This person really enjoyed what he did for a living,' he told the American Veterinary Medical Association in an interview. 'My father was a lawyer, and I really didn't have a clue what he did all day. But I knew exactly what the veterinarian did. Someone making a living from something he enjoyed so much really sparked my interest.' Advertisement 8 Peter Ostrum shares a laugh while on stage. Getty Images 'I thought, if that doesn't work, then maybe I could do something else,' Ostrum added. 'But I would always have in the back of my mind, 'you should've tried to get into veterinary school.' If I didn't pursue that, I'd always kick myself.' After the original film, Johnny Depp took on the role of Willy Wonka for the 2005 movie 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,' and Timothée Chalamet revived the eccentric candy man in 2023's 'Wonka.' 8 Peter Ostrum, Jack Albertson in the 1971 hit movie musical. Courtesy Everett Collection Advertisement 'You can't kill Wonka,' Ostrum mused during a virtual reunion with Yahoo in 2021. 'It just gets played over and over again, whether the original or the remake with Johnny Depp. And that brought attention back to our film. Kids saw Johnny Depp's version, their parents said, 'You need to see the original.'' 'Anything that talks about Wonka is good for the Wonka story,' he noted. 'It's a great story and it needs to be retold, regardless of who's producing it or who's making it.'
