In a stressful human world, ‘mermaiding' gains popularity in D.C. area

Washington Post4 days ago
In a suburban Maryland swimming pool, amid scuba divers practicing with oxygen tanks and young children wearing floaties while holding paddle boards, more than a dozen technicolored mermaid tails glittered through the surface in the nine-foot deep end.
The tails — fabric and silicone, purple and gold, some dotted with sequins or lined with seashells — swaddled the lower bodies of the swimmers, adorned with seashell crowns and necklaces, bright blue wigs and colorful streams of tinsel flowing through their hair.

I've Never Met Someone Who Didn't Like This Dress Style—It's Both Trendy and Timeless

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Gigi Hadid just shared an Instagram carousel of over a dozen photos from her summer vacation. Filled with everything from snorkeling to s'mores, her trip was certainly envy-inducing, but I'm mostly jealous of her wardrobe. In one picture, Hadid wore a black-and-white polka-dot dress that I'm eager to replicate. It's a style that's simultaneously trendy and timeless, so you can't go wrong investing in it. The good news? I found Hadid's exact frock online: It's the Jacquemus Spiaggia Dress. The bad news? It costs a whopping $950 and is sold out in most sizes. Inspired by Hadid's dress, I rounded up several versions in the same color combo and print. If Jacquemus is not in your budget, don't fret. I made sure to include more accessible brands, including Gap, ASOS, and Reformation. Shop my selections below.

The Best Tunnel Fits From The 2025-'26 WNBA Season: Week 10

All-Star Weekend has officially come to a close, making for a refreshed return to the W. Now that we're entering Q3 and the second half of the season, things are starting to get serious — and so are the tunnel fits. As the intensity picks up, players will start locking in and teams will start buckling down on the road to the playoffs, so, the focus will shift away from the fashion and more on the game (annoying, right?) So let's appreciate the off-court style as much while we still can. A lot has happened since All-Star Weekend: Cameron Brink has been cleared to play after a year away due to injury, there have been a couple of on-court scuffles, and the New York Liberty hosted their Pride Night presented by Lyft, where Ellie the Elephant had another viral moment with her rendition of a halftime performance to Abracadabra, ultimately becoming the unexpected catalyst for a Liberty dub.
