Every Accessory You Need to Know (and Shop!) to Get in a Summer Mood
The season's top accessories reflect summer's playful attitude with capsules and designs that balance nonchalant ease with an energetic and joyful spirit. Even the most familiar and quintessentially summer items feel as covetable as ever—think canvas totes the Miu Miu way, espadrilles enlivened by Loewe x Paula's Ibiza's crafty touch, or even Khaite's raffia bags outfitted with a city slickers' edge. Go ahead, summer is short as is—why not have the most fun with it?
Off to the Market Totes
Fashion is no stranger to turning everyday objects into cult-fashion items and the market tote is back and better than ever for summer. The Row's striped mesh tote and Chan Luu's sequined trim feel like souvenirs picked up from travels, turning trips to the farmer's market, school drop off, and the beach all the more fun while carrying one.
Fun-in-the-Sun Espadrilles
Skip the classic tan espadrille for something more joy inducing. Leave it to Loewe and Paula's Ibiza to bring a vibrant take on the historically Spanish shoe; this season's summer capsule offers the flat in a hot fuschia, with splashes of color even accenting the sole. Following suit, Prada has a light cherry pink Mary Jane ripe for the picking, J. Crew's done a red mesh, and Valentino Garavani has a printed mule ready for a Euro-summer.

Sophisticated Raffia
Finished off with sleek black leather accents, the raffia bag goes beyond the beach this summer. While practically every designer has their version of a logo raffia tote, designers are giving shopping a new reason to invest in one with city-friendly styles that can live on long after the summer season sunsets.
Playful Pendants
Like a fish to water, to summer ensemble is complete without jewelry. Pick your poison (or should we say poisson?), from fish-shaped pendants to seashells, tassels, and beads. Why not string your favorite seasonal motif from your neck this summer?
Destination Carryalls
Day trippers, overnighters, and holiday vacationers, rejoice! Oversized carryalls from Hereu, Kallmeyer, L.L. Bean, and Bode offer exceptionally roomy (and stylish) solutions to throw it all in and go with effortless ease. Anything to make the realities of summer travel more bearable—even if it's just a big, big bag.
Dip Your Toe in… Jelly Sandals
The Row's caged jelly flats were a sold-out hit last summer. This season, the transparent PVC material lives on through yet another of the moment silhouette: the thong sandal. Offered in soothing oceanic shades from Chloé, Christopher Esber, and more, these are really the ideal vacation shoe, whether you venture into the blue or not!
Flip-Flop Mania (Continues)
We can't talk about summer accessorizing without mentioning flip-flops. The ultimate in ultra-laid back dressing, the carefree shoe is in fact an intentional sartorial choice—as it should be.
Not All Who Wander Are Lost
Ground yourself in Khaite's studded slingbacks, and sling on a day-tripping raffia or netted bag from Loewe or Saint Laurent for a relaxed, bohemian island feel that works in any locale.
Shades of Summer Straw
There's nothing wrong with a plain straw tote, except for the fact you might already own one. Update yours with one in color, stripes, or colorful stripes! Your white cotton dresses will thank you!
East-Coast Coded
Raffia and canvas is to summer what suede and leather is to fall—a match made. A striped canvas tote strikes a nautical chord, from Miu Miu and Prada's take, to more traditional iterations from Rue De Verneuil and Toteme. You can't go wrong with any of these.
Fish Scales
Summer dressing is supposed to be fun. Lean all the way in with playful paillettes that make a splash, from Lizzie Forunato's glinting pouch to Jimmy Choo's mint-green heeled sandals. You won't be able to take you eyes off them!
Whimsical Wicker
From Gucci's Jackie to Jacquemus' Le Bambino, the picnic basket bag comes in friendly and familiar silhouettes—each one, Jane Birkin-approved.
Foulards With Flair
Wear one in your hair, around your neck, as a pareo, a little handkerchief top, knotted around a bag strap, or as a belt around the waist of skirts and dresses. Bring personality to any look with a single silky, small, and—best of all—incredibly easy to pack, accessory.

The Best Tunnel Fits From The 2025-'26 WNBA Season: Week 11
Y'all mind if the Valks throw a fit real quick@rakuten - Arrivals Courtesy of WNBA Instagram The trade deadline had us all in shambles. Dijonai Carrington moved to the Minnesota Lynx, Emma Meesseman to the New York Liberty, and Jay Sherrod was waived from the Liberty just to be picked up by her former rival team, the Lynx. All this moving around leaves the league in flux and, more importantly, the fashion in disarray, too. Imagine moving from breezy Minnesota to a hot New York summer? That'd call for a wardrobe restyle. But on the plus side, we reach new heights and inch closer to the playoffs, which means we might see an influx of players out on injury, slowly come back into the playing field. We've already had Cameron Brink's status turned over; now we await Caitlin Clark's. But while we wait, we still want to turn our attention to this week's tunnel fits. And this week, they're all business. 10s across the board 🌟 Courtesy of WNBA Instagram There's been a lot of big talk surrounding the acquisition of the Connecticut Sun, and Olivia Nelson-Ododa looks like she's on the way to do the negotiation herself. Nelson-Ododa gets down to business in a form-fitting COS fluid double-breasted wool blazer paired with a crisp white button-down from Gap. She finishes the look with statement bottoms: Helmut Lang men's sheepskin leather shorts, and adds a pop of color with a fiery red BOTTEGA VENETA Andiamo small intrecciato leather clutch and custom shoes to match. all-league fits first team (1) Courtesy of WNBA Instagram Haven't you heard the news? Kahleah Copper just landed a spot on the League First Team All Fits, and trust, she's not riding the bench. Copper has consistently delivered fits, back to back, with a level of intention and style that makes it easy to forget this isn't her full-time job. She proves it yet again in what can only be described as a soft(er) punctual yet dandy fit. She wears a gingham double-zip track jacket and shorts from Open Air, paired with her often-worn and ever-controversial black Tabi loafers by Maison Margiela. Maddy Westbeld — Chicago Sky EAT EAT EAT 🍽️@redlobster - #skytown (1) Courtesy of WNBA Instagram Westbeld is channeling that recurring nightmare where you show up to work in just your underwear—only this time, it's intentional. And somehow, it works. Thanks to recent fashion references, the no-pants look is not only acceptable but deeply embedded into the zeitgeist of iconic fashion moments. Miu Miu's Spring/Summer 2023 show made the agenda clear, reviving the no-pants moment while ushering in the return of the office siren aesthetic, which Westbeld meshes perfectly. And at least she threw on a jacket, it's practically enough for the Windy City. Angel Reese — Chicago Sky EAT EAT EAT 🍽️@redlobster - #skytown Courtesy of WNBA Instagram Following suit (figuratively) in a cropped trench, Angel Reese steps in to complete her teammate Maddy Westbeld's outfit—with actual bottoms. A Burberry cotton mini skirt, to be exact. Reese leans into an early fall color palette with a pair of suede open-toe boots from... the TikTok Shop? In a recent gameday OOTD, she mentioned how tough it is to find size 12 shoes—and apparently, TikTok came through. She finishes the look with a black Bottega Veneta Andiamo small intrecciato leather clutch and oversized Chanel sunglasses. Satou Sabally — Phoenix Mercury Two squads. One tunnel. All business. The @phoenixmercury and @indianafever just touched down fo Courtesy of WNBA Instagram You might've assumed, based on the earlier picks, that there was a preppy or suit-and-tie agenda being pushed in the W' — but Satou Sabally creates a quiet rift in the monotony. While everyone else is dressing up, Sabally is dressing down, in the best way: a cool, '90s Princess Diana kind of way. She wears the highly coveted Adidas Originals x Willy Chavarria poplin track top and matching bottoms. Chavarria, the Mexican-American designer behind the collab, recently debuted the now-iconic collection with Adidas not too long ago—and Sabally managed to get her hands on a rare colorway. Tiffany Hayes — Golden State Valkyries Adidas Originals x Willy Chavarria Poplin Tracktop Courtesy of WNBA Instagram Back to the suit and tie of it all. Hayes wears a school uniform inspired fit with a little edge, as she pairs an oversized blazer, teal tie, and tan pleated shorts with Tabi loafers. She would've definitely been written up, but style is a sacrifice for all. Jonquel Jones— New York Liberty Lookin' like a walking trophy 🏆🙂_↕️ Courtesy of WNBA Instagram More suit, but no tie. And this time, pink! It can feel as simple as it's written, but it's always nice to see athletes in a pop of color because sometimes the show (the tunnel) is about you. Jonquel Jones comes out in her Easter Sunday best—a salmon blazer, tailored pants, and a white tee. But the star of the show? The pink and blue mismatched Nike sneakers.

Nicole Kidman's Model Daughter Shares Exciting Life Update
Nicole Kidman's Model Daughter Shares Exciting Life Update originally appeared on Parade. Sunday Rose, the 17-year-old daughter of and , is saying goodbye to her busy summer of fun and modeling as she goes back to school. The eldest daughter of Kidman and Urban took to her Instagram account on Aug. 18 to look back on the past few months as she said in the caption, "schools back so time to reminisce the vacay." The first photo in the bunch was a snap of Sunday's shadow on the ground, while the second featured a spread of delicious-looking food. Other photos showed off a book Sunday was reading, an idyllic-looking body of water, the teenager wearing a hat that read "Ciao" over wet hair, and her 17th birthday cake.

The young model hasn't publicly made any concrete plans yet for after graduation.

In a recent interview with Nylon, the teenager shared what the most difficult part of modeling so far has been, saying, "Fashion is so subjective, and everyone has an opinion about everything. The biggest lesson I've learned from my experience is to enjoy each moment as it comes, be grateful for the opportunities as I get them, and focus on bettering myself each time I get hired." She also shared an interest in possibly going to school for filmmaking, saying it "has actually been my dream career since I was 5, so I hope I'm able to study that in college." Kidman and Urban Share Two Daughters Sunday isn't Kidman and Urban's only daughter, as they also share a younger daughter named Faith Margaret, who is 14 years old. Both Sunday and Faith appear to be very close to their actress mother. In an interview early this year, Kidman referred to herself as their "guide," declaring to Allure, "If they want to tell me to be quiet, they can. I'm able to apologize to them. I'm able to stand up to them. I very much like the relationship we have. It's nice to be able to say that." Along with Kidman's two kids with Urban, she also shares two adopted children, Bella and , with her ex-husband Tom Cruise.
