Just as flip-flops have staged a triumphant return this season, another nostalgic Y2K trend is now following suit: the anklet. From runways to celebrities and style influencers, the anklet trend has been slowly reemerging in newly imagined forms with modern, elevated twists. Think freshwater pearl accents, delicate gold box chains, and grown-up takes on the vibrant beads that once ruled summer camp. The latest A-lister to confirm the anklet revival for summer 2025? Gigi Hadid.

While promoting her new collaboration with Havaianas in New York this week, the model styled a tweed Marc Jacobs minidress with a vibrant pair of Havianas' Yellow Pop Flip-Flops. But it was her unexpected colorful beaded anklet, playfully resting atop the casual rubber flip-flops, that truly made the look pop while adding a nostalgic twist to her high-low ensemble.

Gigi is hardly the first celebrity to co-sign the return of anklets (though everyone knows that once a Hadid wears something, it *really* takes a trend to new heights). Earlier this year, Kylie Jenner attended Chanel's spring 2025 couture show wearing a mini skirt suit that she accessorized with a Chanel double-wrap chain anklet and pumps. The elevated styling of her look proved that today's wave of anklets aren't just reserved for the beach, instead they serve as a chic way to upgrade even your best heels. (Taking a beachier route, however, her older sister Kim hit the actual beach just last month wearing stacks of diamond anklets.)
During a time when fashion is gravitating towards towards playful, childlike fun — from the Labubu takeover to jelly sandals to bag and shoe charms — it's no surprise that yet another throwback trend of our youth is back on the scene. But the beauty of this particular anklet resurgence is the range of style in which you have to choose from — jewelry brands like Jenny Bird are leaning into luxe, minimalist anklets with stunning and simple gold and silver chain designs to choose from, while brands like Dorsey and Free People are taking a campier route (literal summer camp, that is) with new takes on beaded and charmed anklets.
Whether you're looking for something minimal and sleek to top off your ballet flats and pumps, or you prefer the Gigi Hadid route of beaded anklets paired with casual flip-flops, this season is full of chic anklet options to shop. Keep scrolling to add some of summer's standouts to your cart now.

Former MLB All-Star Frazier Wants Little Leaguers To Squish The Bug
Cincinnati Reds' Brandon Phillips (4) celebrates with Reds' Todd Frazier (21) after scoring on a ... More three-run double by Reds' Jay Bruce off Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Jeff Locke (49) during the first inning a baseball game in Pittsburgh Sunday, Sept. 22, 2013. Frazier followed with a two-run home run.(AP Photo/Gene J. Puskar) Todd Frazier wants youth baseball players to 'squish the bug' in a couple of different ways. For one, the two-time All-Star third baseman wants hitters to use the squish the bug method while they are in batter's box. He also wants Little Leaguers to squish the bugs that can become a distraction while they are hitting. So, what does squish the bug mean when it comes to hitting? 'Growing up in New Jersey I was taught that your back foot comes through the zone and as you come through it and as your back foot comes through, it turns and you squish the bug. You're going to have more leverage hitting a baseball that way.' Frazier squished his share of bugs during 11 years in the major leagues from 2011-21. He had 1,059 hits and 218 home runs for the Cincinnati Reds (2011-15), Chicago White Sox (2016-17), New York Yankees (2017), New York Mets (2018-20), Texas Rangers (2020) and Pittsburgh Pirates (2021). One of Frazier's most memorable moments was winning the 2015 All-Star Home Run Derby as his home ballpark, Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati. Frazier also played for the United States in the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo. However, he first burst onto the national scene in 1998 when he helped lead his Toms River East team to the Little World Series championship in South Williamsport, Pa. Thus, it only seems natural that Frazier and Off Mosquito and Tick Repellents are launching a 'Squish the Bug' campaign, an initiative centered around teaching Little Leaguers batting fundamentals and how Off can protect families while outside during the warmer summer months. Part of the campaign includes a limited edition Squish the Bug home plate turf mat designed to teach Little Leaguers the fundamentals of batting. With fonds memories of his Little League days, Frazier enjoys coaching and mentoring young players. Frazier also is part of the broadcast crew for ESPN's coverage of the Little League World Series. 'I have such a blast, and the kids are very receptive to coaching,' Frazier said. 'But you've got to give credit to their parents because they know when you drop your kid off and I'm coaching them, they're letting me be a coach and they're letting me teach their kids not only the rights or wrongs of playing baseball, but the rights and wrongs of life. So, I have a blast. I love seeing the ups and downs and the kids how they get really high one day and then they get really low another day. And I'm trying to find that happy medium.' Frazier didn't have to worry about bugs interrupting his hitting while he was in the major leagues. However, he does remember watching Game 1 of an American League Division Series in 2007 between the New York and then-Indians in Cleveland on television. Midges came off Lake Erie to swarm the ballpark. Yankees reliever Joba Chamberlain, trying to protect a 1-0 lead, was so distracted by the insects that he gave up the tying run in the eighth inning. Cleveland went on to win 2-1 in 10 innings to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five series that it eventually won in four games. 'They should have had Off that day in Cleveland,' Frazier said with a laugh. 'They would have gotten rid of those bugs.'

McDonald's Coveted Chicken Snack Wrap Now Has a Release Date -- Maybe Thanks to Popeyes
The chicken countdown is on! McDonald's has been teasing customers about the return of its Snack Wraps, a chicken-tortilla entree that's been missing from US locations of the Golden Arches since 2020. But on Tuesday, the chain reversed course on its previous hint and gave up the goods, revealing that the Snack Wraps will come to McDonald's on July 10 -- not the 14th of an upcoming month, as previously said. Yep, July 10, not July 14, which was earlier suspected by many. On April 15, the chain tweeted "snack wraps 0x.14.2025," indicating the menu item would return on the 14th of a unnamed upcoming month. In a follow-up tweet, the account posted, "know i posted 0x.14.2025 a few weeks ago but i wanted to see if they could come back even sooner. so i asked the boss and he said OKAY LETS DO IT?!?!!" A recent analysis by found that the Snack Wrap was by far the most searched-for discontinued McDonald's menu item of 2025. Forty-eight of the 50 states searched for Snack Wrap more than any other discontinued McDonald's item. (The only states searching for other discontinued items more than Snack Wraps were Delaraare and Rhode Island, which searched for Chicken Selects, and Idaho, which searched for the Arch Deluxe.) Read more: Review: McDonald's Minecraft Meals Feature The Hottest Nugget Sauce Ever A representative for McDonald's did not respond to a request for comment. Popeyes pressure Could a competitor's calendar have forced McDonald's to move up its timetable? Fast-food chain Popeyes posted on June 20 mocking the earlier McDonald's date tweet, and hyping chicken wraps of its own. Popeyes retweeted the mysterious McDonald's Snack Wraps date tweet, and wrote "chicken wraps 0x.02.2025." Popeyes now has three varieties of chicken wraps, available as of Monday in its restaurants. Snack Wrap fever McDonald's Snack Wraps first came out in 2006, and were meant to be a chicken item that would appeal to drive-thru customers. There are different versions, but the basic one includes white-meat chicken strips known as McCrispy Strips wrapped in a flour tortilla with cheese and lettuce with either ranch, honey mustard or salsa. McCrispy Strips are a reworked version of a chicken item formerly known as Chicken Selects. Zach Ciampa, who regularly covers new food releases under the social-media handle Snach With Zach, said there's been an intense fanbase out there for the wraps. "Regarding McDonald's Snack Wrap, it's by far the most requested item I've ever seen my audience ask or demand to come back," he told CNET. "Not just the most requested in recent memory, but the most requested of all time. And that's not limited to McDonald's." Ciampa said the only similar fast-food items that come close to the same level of interest are Dairy Queen's S'mores Blizzard and Taco Bell's Caramel Apple Empanada, both of which also made recent returns. "I've been covering food releases for years, and in that time, I've seen countless comments to the tune of 'We don't want this. We want the Snack Wrap,' and, 'Can you tell us when the Snack Wrap is coming back?'" he said. "A couple years ago, the chances of its return were pretty bleak. However, things escalated pretty quickly in late 2023 when McDonald's did indeed announce that the Snack Wrap would return in a new form. Since then, details have slowly but surely trickled out, and the hype has steadily grown." While Snack Wraps left McDonald's locations in the US back in 2020, they remained available at Canadian and UK restaurants. The current online McDonald's Canada menu includes several tortilla-wrapped items, including ones with crispy chicken, grilled chicken, buffalo chicken and chicken with a sweet chili sauce. McDonald's is riding a viral wave. The fast-food chain's Minecraft Happy Meals and adult Minecraft Meals hit restaurants on April 1 and sold out quickly. Diners ordering a Happy Meal these days will find a Squishmallow theme meal instead.

New York and Minnesota still leading the way, both unbeaten heading into Commissioner's Cup play
NEW YORK — The New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx picked up right where they left off last season when reaching the WNBA Finals. Both teams have gone undefeated through their first seven games this year with the Lynx set to host Phoenix in a Commissioner's Cup matchup. The Liberty and Lynx faced off last season in the in-season tournament final with Minnesota coming away with the victory. New York got revenge, winning the WNBA championship for the first time in franchise history. The two teams are each 7-0 this season, marking the latest that more than one franchise had been undefeated this long into the season since both the Lynx and Los Angeles Sparks started 2016 winning their first 11 games. New York has dominated its opponents so far, averaging 91.9 points a game, and winning by nearly 23 points a contest. That includes a 48-point victory over Connecticut, the second-largest margin of victory in WNBA history. Minnesota has been finding ways to win close contests. Before beating Golden State by 11, the Lynx had won their previous four games by a total of 18 points. The Lynx and Liberty won't play in the regular season for a few more months with their four matchups coming in the span of a few weeks — the first of which is on July 30. Power poll rankings New York led the way as the No. 1 team in the power poll again. Minnesota was right behind in second. The national voting panel chose Phoenix third and Atlanta fourth. The Dream moved up three places. Las Vegas, Seattle and Indiana were the next three. Washington, Golden State and Chicago followed. Los Angeles, Dallas and Connecticut rounded out the poll. Commissioner's Cup The WNBA will play its annual in-season tournament over the next few weeks. Each team will play the other teams in their conference one time during that window. The West will have six games with the addition of expansion team Golden State. The East will play five. The teams with the best record in each conference will face off in the title game. The winning team receives a $500,000 cash prize pool to divvy up as well as each player on that squad will get $5,000 in cryptocurrency from Bitcoin. Player of the week Allisha Gray of Atlanta earned Player of the Week honors for the second time in her career. The Dream guard, who also won the award in June 2023, averaged 26.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4 assists to help Atlanta win both its games last week on the road over Los Angeles and Seattle. Other players receiving consideration included A'ja Wilson of Las Vegas, Napheesa Collier of Minnesota and Sabrina Ionescu of New York. Game of the week Indiana at Chicago. Caitlin Clark still may be sidelined with a quad strain for this rematch between the Fever and Sky.
