Drenched in Denim: Shay Mitchell Models Gap x Béis Travel Collaboration
Traveling has never been more stylish, thanks to a new, highly anticipated collaboration that's loading on the tarmac. Viral luggage brand Béis is teaming up with reader-favorite brand Gap on a denim-dominated travel bag and airport outfit collection. Co-designed and modeled by Béis founder, Shay Mitchell, the 25-piece capsule holds meaning for the actress. 'I've been wearing Gap since I was a kid, so designing a collection that allows you to express your personal style while on the go feels like a full circle moment,' said Mitchell in a press release. 'This line is for anyone who wants to look good, feel good, and travel in style.' Since Béis is beloved for its chic luggage in trendy colorways, and Gap is known for easy, everyday essentials and effortless denim, the two brands have blended fashion and function for an ideal travel collection. Some of Béis' bestselling suitcases have been reimagined in a limited-edition light denim blue color, plus pieces like the weekender and travel backpack are available in actual soft denim. Meanwhile, some of Gap's apparel styles have been dipped in popular Béis colorways like Berry Pink, and upgraded with details to make travel days more comfortable. Think: convertible cargo pants and even a hoodie with an inflatable neck pillow!

Angel Reese's style secret is versatility
As a forward on the Chicago Sky, Angel Reese is one of the most dominant players in the WNBA, and when she joined us to speak about being named to our Best Dressed in Business, she'd just broken league records by closing her fourth consecutive game with 15+ rebounds. (When critics panned her for 'mebounding,' she trademarked it.) It all embodies how Reese's draft class did more than add fresh competition to the league when it arrived with a splash in 2024. It awakened the spectacle of the sport, celebrating the uniqueness of players who broke free from their uniforms with expressive, pregame tunnel walks—a critical piece in increasing sponsors 19% that year and viewership by 170%. 'A lot of the women already had the fashion, and I think the platform really helped them,' says Reese. 'I think coming to the league with all the eyes that we had, it really shined a light on them and gave them the flowers that they deserve.' Long before she joined the Met Gala host committee or had partnerships with Good American and Reebok (her signature Reese 1, inspired by diamonds, was announced this month), Reese earned the nickname Bayou Barbie for her glam perspective, even on the court, which was part of her game as long as she remembers. 'I always had my hair done, and my nails were painted,' she recalls. 'My grandma used to put mascara on my lashes, and she brushed my hair up nicely. It was always 'dress to impress.'' Reese's passion for fashion was spurred on through her mother's closet, from which she'd steal bags and heels, the latter of which felt tricky for her 6' 3' frame. 'I think it took me a while to feel confident in heels, going out, because I was already so tall,' she says. 'But once I got older and seeing how much I stood out, it made me feel, like, super confident and bold.' That boldness is a throughline of her 'fits—and perhaps the only one she cares much about. When I mention her silhouettes tend to embrace high waists and crop tops, she shrugs off any trends you might see, and insists she wants to have the opposite of any signature look. 'Sometimes I'll go streetwear. Sometimes I'll go super girly,' she says. 'I don't really identify myself as dressing one type of way. [Though] I am into high fashion for sure. So you probably see me with a nice bag, nice pair of glasses.' Describe your style in a sentence. I am versatile. What's the one piece in your closet you'll never get rid of? I think my bags. I've created a collection of bags, when I see it, I need it, I have it. I'm in collector mode, in my vintage era. I just got this double flap Chanel bag, it's orange, and I love it. How long does it take you to get dressed in the morning? If I'm only going to practice, it doesn't take me long. But when I'm getting ready for a game? An hour, for sure. What do you wear to a big meeting? I don't really have meetings [laughs]. Most of these things are on Zoom these days. I don't want to meet people or go to their office. What's the best piece of fashion advice you've ever gotten? Be confident in your skin. Law Roach kind of told me before, don't care what anybody else has to say. Like, as long as you're confident in it and you feel good in it. It's aura. You have to have aura.

Emma Grede always wears things twice
At Emma Grede's first job as a fashion show producer, she was told to wear black so she wouldn't stand out. But even back then, she refused to fade into the background. 'I bought whatever I could afford from Balenciaga or Celine,' she says. 'I have always used my clothes as a tool (of self-expression).' Grede is one of the best-known entrepreneurs of our time. She's the business mastermind behind Skims, Good American and the newly launched sports fashion startup Off Season. But even in the glitzy world of fashion, she's become notable for her style. Grede believes that our clothes should be a way to channel our creativity and personality, particularly in the world of business. On a recent trip to London, her hometown, her team captured her outfits of the day, which included a white Jacquemus jacket and matching cargo pants set paired with pointed Balenciaga heels, and a blue striped Proenza Schouler top and skirt paired with strappy YSL heels. 'I dress entirely to please myself,' she says. 'Depending on the day, that could be for comfort, or convenience, or because I want to feel bad ass.' While Grede has always been stylish, she's spent much of her career behind the scenes. In 2008, she launched the talent management firm ITB Worldwide which was acquired a decade later. She then partnered with members of the Kardashian family to co-found Good American, Skims and Safely, letting her more famous co-founders be the face of the brand. But these days, she's becoming a personality in her own right, as a judge on Shark Tank and Dragon's Den. She's recently launched a podcast called Aspire with Emma Grede where she's interviewed everyone from Michelle Obama to Gwyneth Paltrow. As a mother of four with a demanding schedule, Grede doesn't have a lot of time to strategize about her outfits. And even though her looks vary, she developed a kind of formula to what she wears. She wears a lot of denim, including Vintage Levi's and Frame. She has a collection of white and striped Oxford shirts from Celine, YSY, and Comme Des Garcons, and she also loves a good heel. 'There is literally nothing in my closet that only gets worn once,' she says. 'There's something about the simplicity of not really choosing something new every day that's really freeing.' Describe your style in a sentence. That's so hard, I dress how I feel and I feel different all the time! What's the one piece in your closet you'll never get rid of? I have so many things but probably a pair of Gucci loafers I've had since I was 15. I bought them for myself, and it was such a big deal at the time. How long does it take you to get dressed in the morning? Five minutes. I pull outfits ahead of time. What do you wear to a big meeting? Something that has bought me luck in the past I'm very superstitious. What's the best piece of fashion advice you've ever gotten? To embrace my individuality and do what makes you feel good.
