Just before summer fully lands in the Middle East, it's the perfect time to head to Kaimana Beach Club at J1 for a much-needed fashion and wellness day out.

Here, you can expect the beach club to showcase the latest in summer fashion with its exclusive showcase featuring stand-out looks from Isabel Marant, Jacquemus, Maison Margiela, Jil Sander, and more while soaking up the sun with its custom floaties and sunbeds.

Life, Styled: Dubai-Based Influencer Amelia Waney Takes GRAZIA Through 7 Chic Outfit Pairings
Media: @ameliawaneyy Instagram Life, Styled , GRAZIA's newest series where fashion and everyday style collide, returns yet with another creator known for her unapologetic sense of style. For the second edition of this new series, we tapped into the effortlessly stylish mind of Dubai-based fashion influencer, Amelia Waney, who took GRAZIA inside her chic wardrobe to show seven standout looks for seven days. Whether you're looking for edgy casual 'fits, a classic denim look, or a timeless ensemble, Amelia brings you all the outfit inspiration you need to elevate your everyday. Photo: @ameliawaneyy Instagram No one can deny the power of a flattering top and the perfect pair of ankle-length denim jeans. Versatile style that surely goes above and beyond, Amelia makes a strong case for casual chic, opting to wear a thin strapped babydoll top in black, high-waisted blue washed jeans, and the current cult-favourite accessory of the season, a pair of black mesh ballet flats. Topping it all off with a Chanel wallet which she reimagined into a shoulder bag. Stylish , as said. Media: @ameliawaneyy Instagram When it comes to colour pairing, you best believe Amelia will always deliver a masterclass. Even in its utmost simplicity, she elevated the white monochrome look with a white high-necked tank top and a pair of soft flowy cotton trousers. With a dash of a mocha mouse Bottega Veneta oversized leather pouch, undoubtedly matching the colour of the year, she further finished with a touch of brown tinted sunnies and a Louis Vuitton LV Sneakerina. Photo: @ameliawaneyy Instagram Perfecting the art of summer dressing, this time, Amelia opted to transform her silky floral-printed scarf into the summer's favourite styling hack; a bandeau top. She added contrast to her brown and yellow-toned top with sleek satin wide-leg trousers in black and sandals, which she paired ever-so chicly with a Hermès black Birkin in Epsom leather. Photo: @ameliawaneyy Instagram Set for day and night dressing, Amelia wore an asymmetrical design with a fluid fabric that drapes elegantly over her shoulder. Complementing her feminine silhouette, she paired it with a matching flowy skirt set by Nora The Label, accessorised with shimmering gold heels which featured a metal pointed-toe cap, rounding off with a long black Andiamo clutch in Intercciato leather. Photo: @ameliawaneyy Instagram Keeping things simple yet surely elevated, the influencer wore a maxi beige dress by Staud. Showcasing an off-shoulder style, the dress featured a ribbed-knit waist design that flowed down for some flattering definition. Adding a pop of colour, she accessorised with a red mini Bottega Veneta Jodie bag and a set of dainty gold jewellery. Photo: @ameliawaneyy Instagram Arguably the most laid-back ensemble of the bunch, Amelia embraced the simplicity and versatility of a short-sleeved white shirt. She balanced the uber-relaxed look to make a head-turning statement with a Zimmermann maxi skirt. Alluring with its blue-toned and the fashion house's classic prints at the forefront on lightweight fabric, she accessorised with a dainty beaded pearl clutch bag. Photo: @ameliawaneyy Instagram Making a case with another monochrome look, the influencer paired her crystal-embellished corset by Odd Muse, with sleek high-waisted flared trousers. With an undeniable alluring accessory, she perfectly matched the flower crystals with a silver metallic THEMOIRÉ x Ounass leather clutch. topics: Life Styled, Amelia Waney, FASHION, Dubai, UAE, 2025 Fashion, STYLE, DUBAI BASED INFLUENCERS, DUBAI INFLUENCERS, INFLUENCER, Influencer Approved

(Photo by Swan Gallet/WWD via Getty Images) Saoirse Ronan has confirmed she is pregnant! The four-time Oscar nominee is expecting her first child with husband Jack Lowden, as confirmed by People magazine on Sunday, June 1. Rumours of the Little Women star's pregnancy began to quietly swirl following her recent appearance at Louis Vuitton's Cruise 2026 show in Avignon, France, where the Irish actress, an ambassador for the house, wore a minimalist slip dress with a lace trim and an empire waist that, with effortless elegance, revealed the faintest suggestion of a baby bump.

In 2018, they met when starring opposite one another in Mary Queen of Scots . Though it's unclear when they officially began dating, after years of quietly building a life together, the couple reportedly wed in a private ceremony in Scotland in July 2024—unsurprising for two talents known for keeping their personal lives out of the spotlight. During the press tour for the film, Lowden gushed about his future wife. 'The woman is a force of nature on and off screen, and utterly fearless and a brilliant leader as well,' he said during an AOL panel. 'For being 24 years old, it's just constantly amazing to me, not just her work, but how she is on a set is amazing.' On the work front, their creative partnership has continued to flourish as well. Most recently, Ronan, 31, starred in The Outrun , a visceral portrait of addiction and recovery set in the Shetland Islands, adapted from Amy Liptrot's memoir. Lowden, 35, served as co-producer on the project. 'Through my partner in crime, life, and love,' Ronan told W magazine , about how she came about the role. '[Jack] handed me the book and said, 'This is the next role that you have to play.'' Saoirse Ronan and Jack Lowden attend the EE BAFTA Film Awards 2025 at The Royal Festival Hall on February 16, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by)
