There's something about brunch that invites a little extra effort, whether you're sipping lattes in the West Village or catching up with friends over eggs and espresso martinis. And while the menu might change, one thing stays the same: the perfect outfit. Equal parts polished and effortless, the best brunch outfits strike a balance between looking like you tried just enough and feeling completely comfortable. Think crisp shirting, slouchy trousers, elevated denim, and maybe a pop of designer sunglasses for good measure.
Need inspiration? Look no further than the off-duty wardrobes of style icons like Hailey Bieber, Gigi Hadid, Zendaya, and more, whose brunch-ready looks are a masterclass in laid-back luxury. Ahead, the brunch outfits every stylish woman needs this season—no reservations required. A Polka Dot Summer

Jake Knapp's girlfriend Makena White recalls how ‘very private' relationship got exposed on PGA Tour

Makena White had no intention of exposing her 'very private' romance with PGA Tour pro and boyfriend Jake Knapp at the 2024 Mexico Open. Life, however, had other plans. White took a stroll down memory lane Monday after the PGA Tour's official X account asked its three million followers to 'share a piece of golf lore about yourself,' prompting Knapp's biggest supporter to peel back the curtain on her personal life. 4 Jake Knapp with girlfriend Makena White during the Cognizant Classic in February 2025. PGA TOUR 4 The PGA Tour pro shot a 59 at PGA National earlier this year. Getty Images 'My (previously very private) relationship was hard launched on national television at the 2024 Mexico Open,' she began on X. 'A year later I got outed playing hooky from work on a Thursday cause that same bf shot 59 & photos of us cellying were all over the internet. '2 years of getting sewered.' 4 Jake Knapp celebrated his first PGA Tour victory with Makena White in February 2024 at the Mexico Open. Getty Images Knapp, 31, earned his first PGA Tour victory as a rookie in February 2024 at the Mexico Open, where White joined him on the course at Vidanta Vallarta for the sweet celebrations that were immortalized on social media. White and Knapp had been dating for six months at the time. She flew in from Canada for the final round after the golfer's unexpected rise to the top of the leaderboard. As Knapp has become a steady contender on tour in the year-and-half since, White has frequently been by his side. A year later, the California native shot a bogey-free 59 in the opening round of the Cognizant Classic at PGA National, joining the exclusive sub-60 club with White in attendance. 4 Jake Knapp finished tied for third at the 3M Open in July 2025. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect When an X user asked White if she was 'upset' over the media fallout of Knapp's triumphs, she replied, 'I'm not mad at another I was simply telling a story.' Currently ranked 77th in the world, Knapp is coming off a top-three finish at last weekend's 3M Open, where he tied for third at 20-under par, three strokes behind winner Kurt Kitayama at 23-under. Knapp will be in the field at the upcoming Wyndham Championship, which tees off Thursday. He turned pro in 2016.

January Jones and her rarely-seen son Xander, 13, make red carpet appearance together

January Jones and Xander Dane had a mother-son day for a good cause. The actress, 47, made a red carpet appearance with rarely-seen 13-year-old while at the 18th annual SeaChange Summer Party in Laguna Beach, California, on Saturday. The 'Mad Men' alum donned a black dress, sandals, and a black headband as the pair posed for photos. 8 January Jones and son Xander Dane. Getty Images Xander, who is nearly the same height as his famous mom, wore a linen striped shirt with white pants and black Adidas sneakers. 'So excited to celebrate Oceana's 23rd birthday and attend @oceanaseachange last night!' Jones wrote on Instagram, alongside a close-up of herself and Xander. She covered the teen's face with a light blue heart emoji. Jones has largely kept her son out of the spotlight, having last brought Xander to the same event when he was 10 years old in 2021. 8 January Jones and her son Xander Dane at the 18th Annual SeaChange Summer Party. Getty Images Jones has never publicly revealed the identity of Xander's father, telling The New York Times in 2013, 'That's my son's business. It's not the public's business.' The Sioux Falls native, meanwhile, rarely shares Xander's life on social media except for birthdays. On Sept. 13, 2024, the 'Love, Actually' alum posted an Instagram Story of Xander in front of a sunset, captioning the sweet shot, 'Bday boy is a teen 😩.' A year prior, Jones marked the special occasion with an Instagram video of Xander dancing in front of Nobu Malibu. 8 January Jones stuns in a black dress while her 13-year-old Xander wears a linen top and Adidas. Getty Images 'Happy Birthday to my child. So proud to be yours,' she penned. 'Couldn't love you more.' Despite keeping her son's life private, Jones teased in 2023 just how he's inspired her fashion sense. 'I never expected my midlife crisis to say 'take all fashion cues from teenage boys' yet here I am,' she teased on social media at the time. 8 January Jones poses on the red carpet at Montage Laguna Beach. Getty Images Sporting an oversized blue and white t-shirt over a black slip dress, Jones knelt in the grass, explaining, 'My son makes this pose in pics now so I did it to mock him and the jokes on me cause he's right, it def makes you look cooler.' While Jones has kept tight-lipped on the identity of her son's father, she did open up about her motherhood journey in 2017. 'My younger sisters [Jacey and Jina] and my mum and my doula were in the room,' she revealed to Red Magazine about Xander's birth. 'My brother-in-law and my dad were next door. I only wanted women with me. Female energy. And I was embarrassed – your body does all these crazy things. It was a 30-hour process but it was awesome. I'd love to do it again.' 8 January Jones on July 26, 2025 in Laguna Beach, California. Getty Images The female energy still surrounds her only child today. 'Maybe too much,' she joked to the outlet. 'Maybe I should get a manny soon,' Jones pondered. 'But Xander has a lot of bro time with the neighbor dads and my dad, who is super young.' 8 January Jones poses with Xander. Kay Blake/ZUMA Press Wire / Shutterstock 'It's good to have strong women around a man,' she continued. 'To teach him to respect women. He doesn't have a male person in his life saying 'don't cry' or 'you throw like a girl.' All those shitty things dads accidentally do.' Jones added that her male friends also 'want to be around him because he's such a fun kid.' 'I love to cook a soup on Sundays for football,' stated Jones. 'Have the neighbors over – the kids play.' 8 January Jones celebrates her son's birthday will a sweet video. januaryjones/Instagram The Hollywood vet also detailed her tight schedule, sharing, 'It's just me and a nanny. No one lives in the house with us. I go to work, always leave at 5pm, come home, let the nanny go and then I'm mum.' 'I put Xander to bed. Watch two hours of reality TV,' she noted, 'then go to bed myself. It's escapism – 'The Bachelor,' 'The Bachelorette,' 'The Housewives' of Whatever – all of them.' At the time, Jones also made it clear she wasn't actively looking for love. 8 January Jones and son Xander Dane Jones attend the Los Angeles Mission's Annual Thanksgiving. Getty Images 'People want to set me up all the time and I'm like, 'No way.' If I meet someone and we go out, then fine, but I'm not going to go look.' 'I realize I have very high expectations and will probably have to compromise – but my life is so full,' Jones explained. 'It's not like, 'Aww, I wish I had a man.' After I had Xander, I went on a couple of dates and I was like, 'I'd rather be at home sleeping, or watching TV or hanging out with my kid.''
