The White Lotus effect: Tips to ace resort fashion
A still from The White Lotus series
In recent times, web shows like
The White Lotus
, Emily in Paris, The Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives and Four More Shots Please! have redefined resort wear, merging comfort with style.
Mitali Ambekar, a celebrity stylist, says, 'Web series have glamorised
vacation dressing
and reflect the power of
resort fashion
as a tool of self-expression. Whether it's the minimalism of The White Lotus, the bold colours and patterns of Emily in Paris, or the OTT ensembles in The Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives – they have made resort wear aspirational as well as accessible.'
Celebrity stylist Madhuri Singh adds that while most series highlight women's style, shows like The White Lotus also showcase fashionable looks for men.'Characters sporting oversized linen shirts, printed resort shirts, tailored shorts, sandals, and a watch have shown how any man can pull off these looks and say, 'I woke up like this'.'
Resort wear today is all about relaxed silhouettes, breathable fabrics and easy luxury that transitions from beachside lounging to evening outings. It's no longer just seasonal, but a lifestyle for those who value timeless style

Her outfits are versatile and perfectly layered, and they don't try too hard to look cool… The colours, prints and layering look balanced and never over-the-top. That's the vibe I like for a vacation – relaxed but stylish at the same time

I love how minimal and luxe these outfits are. What's more, they can be worn and styled easily by everyone. I love Chelsea's crochet-style dress for its bohemian and trendy vibe

Jennifer Coolidge (Tanya McQuoid)

Tanya's pink floral dress paired with a pair of big sunglasses and a scarf is one of my favourites. Her wardrobe screams old-money eccentric with a vintage twist. The OTT glamour is iconic. Her pink look on the Vespa is tragically fabulous
- Vikram Seth, a fashion stylist & creative director
It's elevated holiday dressing... On The White Lotus, you could see yourself wearing these (outfits). Maybe they're not completely perfect. It's a little off. It's wild. It's emotional dressing… You can sort of choose your own adventure with the clothes

Popular sketch artist Jane Rosenberg was 'accused' of drawing koala bears, dogs in courtroom
In a courtroom where words weigh heavily and justice hangs in the balance, artist Jane Rosenberg's pencil has found a different kind of spotlight—one that's often unintentionally funny, sometimes tender, and always human. While the trials she covers deal with serious allegations—from civil fraud to sex trafficking—it's her courtroom sketches that sometimes lighten the mood, drawing comparisons not just to people, but to pets, cartoon animals, and, yes, even koalas. This week, that lighter moment came during a break in the federal sex trafficking trial of hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs. According to a report from Reuters, Combs turned to Rosenberg, seated in the front row, and made a polite but pointed request: "Soften me up a bit, you're making me look like a koala bear." Combs, 55, who has pleaded not guilty to five criminal counts including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, appeared in court wearing sweaters, his hair graying, and his goatee giving him a softer look—one that, at least in his view, had crossed into marsupial territory under Rosenberg's pencil.

In Sean "Diddy" Combs's federal trial, cameras are not allowed because it's a federal court case, and Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 53 prohibits electronic media coverage. To provide the public with a visual representation of the proceedings, Reuters and other news outlets are using courtroom sketch artists like Rosenberg to illustrate the events. Source: X But Sean Combs is far from the first to joke about her portrayals. Earlier this year, Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor, had his own reaction after seeing Rosenberg's depiction of him during a civil case tied to his false claims about the 2020 election. "You made me look like my dog," Giuliani reportedly told her. He didn't specify which dog, but the comparison was memorable enough to go viral. Then there was Donald Trump Jr. in 2023. During a civil fraud trial involving the Trump family real estate empire, he too offered some unsolicited feedback. According to Rosenberg, he told her, "Make me look sexy." It's moments like these that show how courtroom art—intended to be neutral and documentary in nature—can stir up vanity, humor, and even affection. While Rosenberg maintains a professional tone and consistent artistic style, the reactions of her subjects often turn her drawings into unintentional conversation pieces. Art in the midst of seriousness These human touches don't take away from the gravity of the cases. Sean Combs, for instance, faces the possibility of life in prison if convicted. Still, throughout the proceedings, he has occasionally lightened the mood with hand gestures—forming a heart with his hands toward family seated in the gallery. That said, levity can sometimes push boundaries. On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian rebuked Combs for nodding at the jury during his lawyer's cross-examination. The judge called it "unacceptable" and warned he would remove Combs from the courtroom if it happened again.

Patrick Schwarzenegger Reveals ‘Funny' Fan Moment After White Lotus 3 Aired
Last Updated: Patrick revealed that some fans were so into his character that they had sent him money on Venmo. Patrick Schwarzenegger, son of the legendary Hollywood actor Arnold Schwarzenegger and his ex-wife Maria Shriver, earned much praise for his role in the third season of The White Lotus. The 31-year-old actor, who played the role of Saxon Ratliff in the series, recently discussed a hilarious incident while the third season of the HBO comedy series aired. In an interview with People alongside his White Lotus co-star Aimee Lou Wood, Patrick revealed that some fans were so into his character that they had sent him money on Venmo. He said, 'I don't know if this ever happened to you, Aimee — I sent it in our group text from White Lotus — but I have people that sent me money on Venmo during episodes of White Lotus." Calling the incident 'funny", the 31-year-old actor added, 'I sent it all back, don't worry. But I did. I got a lot of people who sent me money." Aimee, who played Chelsea in White Lotus 3, reacted to Patrick's experience, sharing that she could not relate to it. However, she admitted that it did remind her of her own quirky habit during filming. She confessed to spending all the money on coconuts while they were shooting for White Lotus 3 in Thailand. Talking about her 'addiction" to coconuts, Aimee said, 'It was chronic. I could not stop with the coconuts. I just absolutely loved them! I was so hydrated. I think I was overly hydrated, actually." The duo also spoke about their blossoming friendship, which began last summer while they were filming in Thailand. Aimee and Patrick, who worked together again on an advertisement for Venmo recently, shared that they were pretty excited about the opportunity. The Sex Education actress also mentioned that she felt 'separation anxiety" after White Lotus 3's shoot wrap-up. She said, 'Seven months all of us together, in the same place, and then I went back to England, and it was so lonely." However, the duo has had a lot of time to spend together recently. Patrick revealed that they worked together on a project in Los Angeles, followed by a shoot in New York. Then they even attended that MET Gala 2025 together, after which they jetted off to London for yet another project. He shared that he extended his stay in London to hang out with Aimee.
