Arm Cuffs Are The Y2K Trend Alexa Chung And Zoey Deutch Are Accessorising With This Summer
Yesterday Zoey Deutch stepped out in New York looking like the personification of the word chic.
And while her sleek bun and minimal Michael Kors Collection dress certainly built a foundation for the gorgeous outfit, it was her simple bracelets that stole the show.

The organic-shaped gold cuffs look like Elsa Perretti for Tiffany & Co's famous Bone bracelets - a timeless investment piece for fashion devotees.
The sublime asymmetry and sensuous contours of Elsa Peretti Bone cuffs have an ergonomic quality that makes them one with the body.
And it isn't just Deutch who has decided to embrace the cuff bracelet this summer. In fact, British style star Alexa Chung has been wearing the Y2K-beloved bracelet style non stop this summer.
Chung, who is a pro at tiny styling tricks that make a big impact, has been placing her bracelet on her upper arm. We first saw her try the trend in Cannes over her Mango trench coat, and since then it has barely left her bicep.
In one recent post the former fashion designer acknowledged her cuff bracelet addiction, captioning the post: 'Overly into upper arm shim sham.'
The 41-year-old has proved the styles versatility, wearing it with a sheer, leopard-print maxi dress (which is available to buy now).
Composition & Care
And a Supriya Lele sheer, PVC mini dress.
We love the idea of cuffing these bracelets over long-sleeved clothes to transform a silhouette, but, as both Chung and Deutch prove, there's something elegant about placing them on bare skin too.
Time to try the Noughties trend for ourselves.

Ncuti Gatwa: The Sex Education star who brought a flirty-spin to the Doctor
Ncuti Gatwa rose to fame first in Netflix's Sex Education, before gaining praise for bringing light-hearted banter and flirty chat to the role of the 15th Doctor. His path to success has been a long and winding one, with struggles with depression and homelessness, before landing the role of a lifetime and a dream for thousands of young actors. The 32-year-old took on the role of the Time Lord previously filled by Matt Smith, David Tennant – who was brought back to be the 14th Doctor where he ushered in a bi-generation storyline that led to Gatwa becoming the 15th Doctor – and actress Jodie Whittaker. Born in Rwanda before moving to Scotland, where he was raised, Gatwa began his career as an extra on the 2014 sitcom Bob Servant. In 2016, he played Demetrius in a production of A Midsummer's Nights Dream at Shakespeare's Globe, before his big break came when he was cast in Sex Education as Eric Effiong, a young gay British-Nigerian who is best friends with Otis, the show's lead character. The Netflix show, which ran from 2019 until 2023, documented Eric's growth as he deals with his family's acceptance of his sexuality while he embraces his Nigerian heritage. He also falls in love with Adam (Connor Swindells), who bullied him in the first series, and has ups and downs in his friendship with (Otis Milburn) Asa Butterfield. However, Gatwa's seemingly meteoric rise, which led to him being cast in the 2023 blockbuster Barbie, has been far from plain sailing. Writing in The Big Issue in May 2020, he said he ended up homeless after running out of savings in the months before he landed his role in Sex Education. 'Being a 25-year-old man with no money or job affected my sense of self-worth,' he wrote. 'Rejection became unbearable. Auditions weren't just acting jobs, they were lifelines.' He continued: 'One friend gave me money towards paying off the prior month's rent and offered to let me move into their spare room rent free for a while. 'Great, I thought. An opportunity to get back on my feet and start paying people back. 'On moving-in day, he changed his mind. As I was standing on the street with my suitcases, one thought came into my head: 'I'm homeless'.' While everything appeared fine to the outside world, Gatwa was losing weight because he could not afford to eat properly. 'To the outside world everything seemed fine. I was temping at Harrods,' he wrote. 'I'd wake up from the double bed I shared with my best friend, leave the house without a hair out of place in a slick-looking trench coat and polished brogues. 'I would get compliments for looking so presentable. When I lost weight due to eating only one meal a day, people told me how lean and healthy I looked.' In reality, Gatwa had developed depression, though he kept it from his friends out of fear of being a 'burden', and later worked through the mental health condition. He joined Doctor Who in 2023 when Russell T Davies, who was behind the programme's 2005 revival, took over from showrunner Chris Chibnall – who steered Whittaker's run and worked with her and Tennant previously on Broadchurch. Gatwa's turn in the science fiction show was praised by reviewers for his first season's starting episodes Space Babies and The Devil's Chord. The Guardian said that he 'will make this show far more fun than it's been for years', praising him for being 'naturally able to express the dazzling extremes' of the character, while The Times said he 'sparkles as a charismatic Doctor with otherworldly energy'. However, Davies, who had success with Channel 4's It's A Sin and Queer As Folk as well Doctor Who spin-offs The Sarah Jane Adventures and Torchwood, has recently faced accusations that he has pushed the show in a 'woke' direction. A small number of social media critics have pointed to the diversity of the cast, a drag queen villain, and introduction of transgender and non-binary characters. However, both he and Gatwa have strongly dismissed this criticism as from a minority, with Davies telling BBC Radio 2's 20 Secrets From 20 Years: 'Someone always brings up matters of diversity. 'And there are online warriors accusing us of diversity and wokeness and involving messages and issues. 'And I have no time for this. I don't have a second to bear (it). Because what you might call diversity, I just call an open door.' Gatwa told Attitude magazine in 2024 that the hateful comments the sci-fi show has received after casting a black man is 'fascinating, because there's so much energy they're putting into it … I think they need to go find a hobby is one thing'. During his time, he has had companions in the form of Andor actress Varada Sethu, and former Coronation Street actress Millie Gibson, who played Gatwa's companion Ruby Sunday since the 2023 Christmas episode The Church On Ruby Road. Highlights have included a Regency-themed episode that saw him have a burgeoning romance with the character Rogue, played by Mindhunter actor Jonathan Groff, the explosive Boom episode and the arrival of the classic Time Lord villain, the Rani. Since Doctor Who, Gatwa has been in a re-imagined version of Oscar Wilde's The Importance Of Being Earnest at the National Theatre, and is set to be in West End play Born With Teeth – which re-imagines the relationship between rival playwrights Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare. He has also been in the Second World War show Masters Of The Air with Austin Butler and Barry Keoghan, and the upcoming The Roses with two-time Oscar nominee Benedict Cumberbatch, and Academy Award-winner Olivia Colman.

Redemption for Yates on epic mountain climb as he closes in on Giro d'Italia title
SESTRIERE, Italy (AP) — Simon Yates produced one of the greatest rides of his career on one of cycling's most grueling climbs to all but win the Giro d'Italia on Saturday. Yates started the penultimate stage in third, one minute, 21 seconds behind previous leader Isaac Del Toro, but the British cyclist launched a solo attack on the beyond-category climb to Colle delle Finestre — the same mountain that spelled heartbreak for him seven years ago — to ride clear of his overall rivals. Advertisement Yates was openly sobbing after he crossed the line more than five minutes ahead of Del Toro. 'When the route was released I always had in the back of my mind to try and do something here and close the chapter, let's say,' an emotional Yates said, as he was trying to hold back tears. 'I maybe look relaxed but I also had doubts this morning, if I could really do something, but the guys they encouraged me and believed in me, so yeah, thanks to them.' With just the mostly ceremonial finish in Rome left on Sunday, Yates moved into the lead of the three-week race and is all but certain to lift the Trofeo Senza Fine (Trophy With No End) for the first time. Advertisement Yates, who won the 2018 Spanish Vuelta, is 3 minutes, 56 seconds ahead of Mexico's Del Toro and 4:43 ahead of Ecuador's Richard Carapaz. Ottawa's Derek Gee is fourth, 6:23 behind Yates. 'I was close, and this is a thing, but at the end I didn't win," said Del Toro, who was nevertheless smiling as he saluted at the finish. "I will just keep working and I will come back for sure. "You need to be a great winner, you need to be a great loser, and I think I am a good loser, and chapeau for them. Congrats.' Redemption for Yates Yates' attack had echoes of Chris Froome's audacious move on the Finestre in 2018 that earned him the trophy. Advertisement It was also redemption for Yates, who had been leading the Giro at that point in 2018 having worn the pink jersey for 13 days, before cracking on that climb. It is the first time he has donned the maglia rosa since then. This time around, Yates made his move on the early slopes of the Finestre and had about 45 seconds on Del Toro and Carapaz when he hit the white gravel roads. The duo didn't collaborate behind him. 'We could have been the strongest but we were not the cleverest,' said Carapaz, the 2019 champion. 'In the end he (Del Toro) lost the Giro, he didn't know how to race well and the most clever rider won.' Yates crested the climb with a lead of 1:41 on the pair and caught up to Visma–Lease a Bike teammate Wout van Aert, who helped him pull farther away on the descent. Advertisement Australian cyclist Chris Harper claimed his first individual victory in a Grand Tour on Saturday's 20th stage, a 205-kilometer (127-mile) leg from Verres to Sestriere. Yates was third, behind Alessandro Verre. 'It's the peak of my career, I don't think anything will top this,' Yates said. 'I'm not getting any younger as well and to win these, especially the Giro, something that I've really targeted for many, many years … I think it's the best it will be.' It brought an end to a spell of bad luck at the Giro for Yates, who also had to withdraw from the Italian Grand Tour in 2020 and 2022 — because of coronavirus and a knee injury. 'I really have invested a lot of my career, my life, targeting this race,' he said. 'And yeah, a lot of setbacks. It's been hard to deal with.' Advertisement Del Toro:'No regrets' Del Toro is at the other end of his career and the 21-year-old Mexican rider — who has sparked cycling fever in his home country — has a glittering future after bursting onto the scene at the Giro, far surpassing expectations of him when the race started in Albania. 'I cannot be more happy, because in the beginning, before in Albania, for sure a lot of people cannot believe that I can be here,' Del Toro said. "The team always is having confidence in me in this type of things. The problem is me, trying to believe it. 'I lose and I feel super disappointment but I don't want to cry in camera ... is like this, cycling. I have no regrets and for sure I will come back really, really strong from this." ___ AP cycling: The Associated Press

Beluga Lentil Caviar Is A Luxurious Snack On A Picnic Budget
To understand exactly why comedian Mamrie Hart's recipe for beluga lentil caviar is so fun, it helps to clarify a few things. First off, there are no beluga whales involved in the making of beluga caviar. The fish eggs that are harvested from beluga sturgeon to make this particularly fine and expensive variety of caviar are so named for the white markings and belly of that species of fish. The word 'beluga' shares a root with the Russian word for white. Second, beluga lentils have nothing to do with fish eggs, or fish in general, aside from the fact that the plump, black legumes look a little like a giant lump of caviar. Hart's recipe - which takes the luxurious presentation of caviar and applies it to the humble black lentil - is like a telephone game of culinary associations that happens to result in a lovely snack for a dinner party or a summer picnic. On a fundamental level, caviar is just a dip. These lentils, seasoned with dashi and caper brine to give a hint of the ocean, are a dip, too. They just happen to be quite a bit more affordable. (MORE: On The French Riviera, Gazpacho Tastes Like Summer) By my calculations, a pound of beluga caviar costs roughly one thousand times more than a pound of beluga lentils. 'Feel free to use the real stuff if you married rich and love it, but in this case . . . we are using lentils!' Hart writes. The recipe comes from her irreverent cookbook All I Think About Is Food, published in April by W.W. Norton & Co., which channels the comedian's warm personality into a decadent but uncomplicated approach to vegetarian cooking. Hart explains that the cookbook was born of her own culinary obsession, 'You could be having a very serious conversation with me, and I'll look fully immersed. I could be nodding along and even reaching over to hold your hand in support, but, mentally, I'm deciding what soup to make tomorrow.' Beluga Lentil Caviar Ingredients 1 cup dried black beluga lentils 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 garlic cloves, minced 3 cups water 1 tablespoon vegan dashi powder 1 tablespoon capers, chopped 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 tablespoon caper brine A few dashes of your favorite hot sauce, I prefer Cholula with this Salt Pepper Pringles for serving Instructions Rinse the lentils thoroughly. In a medium pot, add a tablespoon or so of olive oil and sauté the garlic for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the water to the pot and bring to a boil. If you're going for full ocean flavor, add your dashi here. Once the water is bubbling, add the lentils and turn down the heat to a simmer. Cover for 15 to 20 minutes. Once the lentils are tender but holding their shape, drain any remaining water and mix in the capers, soy sauce, brine, and hot sauce. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve in your fanciest dish with your finest Pringles and start talking in a pompous accent.
