Brown Clothing Once Meant Poverty. In 2025, It Means Power.
We're currently in a brown 'study,' an outmoded term for self-absorption, a condition the fashion world regularly succumbs to. But in this case, the term is literal: The industry has taken a deep dive into the color of coffee, chocolate and protein-rich meals.
From the resurgence of the suntan to the revival of mahogany furniture, brown is ascendant. Supporting this observation: Pantone crowned Mocha Mousse its 2025 color of the year. In fashion, a deep shade of fudge is trending. For evidence, see Miu Miu's rich suede jackets, Gucci's draped satin dresses and Jason Wu's slouchy suits.

Gwyneth Paltrow, 52, flaunts killer bikini body on yacht with eclectic group of famous friends
Gwyneth Paltrow has views from the top. The actress, 52, was spotted enjoying herself on a yacht in Italy on Thursday. Paltrow sported two looks while aboard the ship, with the first being a long, black cover up with a gold necklace, matching earrings and a Gucci raffia tote. 9 Gwyneth Paltrow in Italy.

Paltrow donned her long blonde hair down but at one point wrapped a towel around her neck and threw her hair up in a bun. 9 Gwyneth Paltrow shows off her toned physique.

COBRA TEAM / BACKGRID The 'Shallow Hal' star was joined on the luxury boat by her husband Brad Falchuk, 54, and friends Edward Norton, 55, and Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, 62, marking an unlikely quartet for their day at sea. In April, Paltrow revealed her new approach to health and nutrition. In fact, the actress admitted she grew 'sick' of the caveman diet, which eliminates modern foods. Paltrow ditched the ultra-strict Paleo diet, which had her avoiding bread, pasta and cheese for years, explaining on her 'Goop' podcast, 'I went into hardcore macrobiotic for a certain time, that was an interesting chapter where I got obsessed with eating very very healthily.' 9 Gwyneth Paltrow donned a cover up while boarding the boat. COBRA TEAM / BACKGRID 9 Gwyneth Paltrow and Edward Norton. COBRA TEAM / BACKGRID 9 Gwyneth Paltrow and Edward Norton in Italy. COBRA TEAM / BACKGRID 'I really deepened my connection with food and the whole philosophy around macrobiotics which is essentially just how they eat in the mountains of Japan so very local and seasonal.' Paltrow's diet consisted of 'lots of fish, vegetables, rice, no diary, no sugar etc. I think that period of time I might have got a little didactical about it.' The Oscar winner previously detailed her daily routine, which is waking up and drinking coffee that didn't 'spike' her blood sugar first thing in the morning, followed by bone broth as her first meal at noon and an early dinner that consisted of 'lots of vegetables.' 9 Gwyneth Paltrow is joined by friends on the boat. COBRA TEAM / BACKGRID Paltrow also does an hour of 'movement' between her two meals — either a walk or a Tracy Anderson workout — followed by dry brushing and 30 minutes in the infrared sauna. The mother of two, who founded Goop in 2008, also reflected on why she chose such a disciplined lifestyle. 'I was just so amazed that we had this power in our hands that if we treated ourselves well and hydrated and ate whole foods that we could just feel so much better,' she confessed. 'I was sort of intoxicated by that idea and I still feel that way to this day.' 9 Gwyneth Paltrow and Edward Norton enjoy Italy. COBRA TEAM / BACKGRID After changing things up again, Paltrow started to get sick of her new regimen. 'Things have gotten a little more complicated with me and longer term with inflammation and stuff. It's the reason Brad and I became Paleo a few years ago now. Although I'm a little bit sick of it, if I'm honest.' These days, Paltrow is 'getting back into' indulging in sourdough bread and cheese. 'There I said it.. a little pasta after being strict with it for so long,' she teased. 'But again I think it's a good template, eating foods that are as whole and fresh as possible. I don't think there are any doctor or nutritionist that would refute that.'

The most daring outfits Dakota Johnson has ever worn, from see-through dresses to mismatched shoes
When it comes to fashion, Dakota Johnson has a chic and seemingly effortless style. However, the "Fifty Shades of Grey" star also regularly experiments with daring looks. She's worn sheer dresses, plunging necklines, mismatched shoes, and more. If you somehow haven't noticed, Dakota Johnson has been everywhere lately. She made multiple appearances at the Cannes Film Festival in May, has since been photographed all over New York City, and has appeared on multiple late-night talk shows this month. The 35-year-old actor has, of course, been promoting her film "Materialists," which she stars in alongside Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans. All the while, she's stood out in her signature style: chic, effortless outfits that are also quite bold. Here's a look at the most daring looks she's worn lately, and ones she's donned in the past. Dakota Johnson's bold red-carpet style can be traced back to her 2012 appearance at a GQ party. For the event, she wore a long-sleeved lace top over a black bra and tucked the former into high-waisted leather pants. By 2013, she was already elevating her daring fashion. At the LACMA Art + Film Gala that year, she wore a black Gucci dress with multiple daring elements. It had netted sleeves up top, golden feathers across her chest, and green fringe on her skirt. The actor showed the playful side of her style in 2015. While in New York City, she wore a fuzzy green vest over a tan jumpsuit. And she didn't stop there. Johnson also wore strappy heels and sunglasses that made the casual outfit look dramatic and glam. For the UK premiere of "Fifty Shades of Grey," Johnson wore a striking Saint Laurent gown. She then attended the 2015 Venice Film Festival in a backless, blush-colored gown. The Prada design hugged her body in the front and revealed her tattoos on her back. Johnson embraced sheer fashion again for the 2015 "Trumbo" premiere. She walked the red carpet that night in a black velvet gown with sheer sleeves and matching mesh panels across her waist and legs. Plunging necklines remained a staple of the actor's wardrobe in 2017. At the "Fifty Shades Darker" premiere that year, Johnson arrived in a shapeless Valentino gown with a V-neckline that plunged below her chest. A few weeks later, she went full metallic for the Oscars. Her gold Gucci gown was made from satin. It had a high pleated neckline, long sleeves, and an oversize bow at the waist. She then stood out at the Green Carpet Fashion Awards in a semi-sheer Gucci gown. The skin-revealing design was made from black tulle, Swarovski crystals, and recycled brass. Johnson embraced the "no-shirt" trend at the 2017 Hollywood Film Awards. She wore a vibrant red suit jacket with no shirt underneath, matching trousers, and a diamond choker. Equally daring were her mismatched heels, which had giant crystals on one shoe but not the other. In 2018, the actor put a glamorous twist on the sheer trend at the Venice Film Festival. She later opted for a dramatic gown at the Marrakech Film Festival. Johnson swapped her usual gowns for a bold minidress in 2019. She walked the red carpet at "The Peanut Butter Falcon" screening in a Saint Laurent design. It featured a large bow as a top, a triangle cutout at the chest, and all-over crystal designs. Johnson wore one of her most daring and stunning looks at the 2021 Venice Film Festival. Her silver Gucci gown had a plunging neckline, a see-through bodice and skirt, and crystal fringe. The see-through corset she wore to "The Lost Daughter" premiere was also bold. Johnson paired it with leather pants, pointed pumps, and a diamond necklace. However, she took her daring fashion to another level the next day. While meeting fans in New York City, Johnson was photographed wearing a cream-colored dress with a high slit in its skirt that almost reached her hips. In November 2021, Johnson attended a fashion show in a fringe minidress. Her Gucci frock was held together by sparkling belts strapped across her chest, and matched her Gucci-logo tights. She wore Gucci again in December 2021. The look was even more eye-catching than her last. She wore pink satin pants — they were so wide they resembled a skirt — and a cropped, crystal-covered top that was sleeveless with a deep V-neckline. At the 2022 Met Gala, Johnson wore a see-through catsuit made from black lace. The "naked" design from Gucci was covered with long silver fringe and delicate sparkles. To kick off 2023, Johnson wore her own version of a Canadian tuxedo. The Magda Butrym look included a denim bustier, a matching trench coat, and baggy jeans. She went the opposite direction in May that year. In 2024, Johnson wore the most sheer gown of her career. At the "Madame Web" premiere, Johnson sported a custom chainmail gown from Gucci that sparkled in the light. It was sleeveless, plunged at the neckline, and see-through. Though the gown did appear to have a small lining, it matched the actor's skin tone perfectly and created the illusion that she was only wearing the crystal links. Johnson is still staying loyal to sheer clothes in 2025. In early June, she was photographed walking around New York City in a maroon bodysuit beneath a black tulle dress. The latter had long sleeves, a wrapped neckline, and a flared skirt, making for a classic silhouette. However, it was entirely see-through.

Dakota Johnson Has a Subtle Twist on the Sheer Trend
Dakota Johnson's summer wardrobe is teeming with sheer fabrics. Just this week, the actor had two different takes on sheer shapewear. Styled by Kate Young, she wore a thin black scoopneck bodysuit under suede mustard Khaite jacket with light-wash jeans, and the following day, a Matrix-esque leather jacket and bootcut jeans over another plunging see-through bodysuit. Her latest look takes it up a notch—and certainly down a denier. MediaPunch/Bauer-Griffin Johnson continues to do press for her forthcoming film Materialists, and made an appearance last night (June 5) for Late Night with Seth Meyers. Photographed first leaving her Greenwich hotel for the evening, she wore a a completely sheer black dress with a criss-cross neckline and long sleeves, its floaty hem falling to the knee. Underneath, her strapless brown bodysuit gave the look some added depth and dimension, matching the chocolate-colored Gucci Jackie bag she toted. Johnson kept the rest of her styling simple, with black slingback pointed pumps, black angular sunglasses, and gold hoops. The Madame Web star wore her signature short bangs and long brown hair poker straight.
