Lola Tung nails Y2K style on The Summer I Turned Pretty press tour: the actress wore 2004 Dior, throwback Stella McCartney and embraced the scarf-as-belt trend, just like Alexa Chung
As the highly anticipated third and final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty hits our screens, we see Lola Tung once again step into the role of Belly – a teen navigating the challenges of growing up and her feelings for two brothers, Conrad and Jeremiah. After an emotionally charged finale in season two, where Belly's decisive kiss with Jeremiah left Conrad heartbroken, the new season promises even more twists and turns in their complex love triangle.

She also wore a pair of stylish black sunglasses and clutched her cute dog, looking the epitome of cool. Here's what else Lola Tung wore during The Summer I Turned Pretty press run. For her appearance on Jimmy Fallon's show, Tung looked elegant in a stylish Dior dress and bag, with Raf Simons-era shoes.

Tung appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon wearing a grey bodycon dress from Dior, exuding a ladylike charm. She paired it with a pair of white pointed-toe high heels from the Raf Simons era of Dior, and a Lady Dior mini bag.

(Photo by TheStewartofNY/GC Images) As the internet is embroiled in Team Conrad vs Team Jerimiah discourse, Lola Tung has been out doing press for season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty . The 22-year-old has swiftly garnered a reputation for cool girl style and has seen the front row of many fashion week shows. While her character Isabel, or 'Belly', leans more feminine and referential with her taste, Tung embraces a bit of edge and isn't afraid to test-drive passing trends. Most recently, Tung was out in New York City in a casual but elevated fit, featuring one of the seasons rising trends. The actress was spotted in a white tank, and wide-legged plaid trousers, with a monogramed silk scarf from Coach tied around her waist. Lola Tung is seen in Midtown on July 15, 2025 in New York City.

Mockford/Getty Images for Gucci) The sarong-style belted scarf has been gaining traction among many a tastemaker over the past few months. Previously, perpetual muse Alexa Chung has been seen wearing the style. In a similar ensemble, featuring a white T-Shirt and some baggy trousers, Chung tied a Gucci silk scarf around her waist. Celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Alessandra Ambrosio have also donned the accessory. The addition does the trick of taking a simple base and elevating it, as well as adding a touch of personalisation, something the zeitgeist is growingly enamoured with. In Tung's case, she further personalised her look with a Coachtopia bag featuring a few charms, as well as a furry accessory. (No, not a Labubu). Stars seem to be carrying around their furry friends a la 2000s socialite again, and it looks like Tung is partaking in this trend too. Lola Tung is seen in Midtown on July 15, 2025 in New York City.

Bandanas Are Summer 2025's Hottest Accessory - Here Are The Cutest Styles To Shop Now
What do Hailey Bieber, Alexa Chung, Timothée Chalamet and Gucci's AW25 runway all have in common? It's a jaunty bandana-style headscarf. Beloved by A-listers, influencers, editors and design houses alike, this 1990s does 1950s accessory is the styling trick you need to take your summer dress from snooze to snazzy. There are a few ways to style the square piece of fabric, be it in cotton (which offers better grip) or silk (feels a little more luxe). Chalamet opted for the Gucci AW25 approach - the most daring of the bandana on head styling options by far - by wearing his over a cap tied under his chin. Chung similarly went for the Queen Elizabeth II, Brigitte Bardot and Audrey Hepburn-approved under chin tie technique while on holiday. Though the British style star eschewed the cap accessory, she wore her navy bandana with a royal purple top, red shorts and a striped tote bag. If an under the chin tie feels a bit traditional, consider tying your headscarf over your hair and head. This feels like the most polished iteration of the look, and could take you into work with some oversized earrings and a shirt. We're partial to Bieber's more Nineties and Noughties styling technique of tying under your hair at the nape of your neck, adding some whimsy to your ensemble while still keeping things practical (perfect for keeping flyaways at bay). While you can pick up a vintage bandana or silk scarf with ease, brands like Miu Miu, Rejina Pyo and If Only If all have their own offerings in crochet, polka dots and more. If Only If's chocolate-hued, gingham iteration was a sellout style, with those in the know pairing it with their matching mini dress or mixing it up with other outfits during the UK's heatwave. 'Last summer when I was designing this year's spring summer styles, I really started to notice the trend of people wearing our nighties as daywear and I thought it would be lovely to add in a matching bit of kit that elevated their nighties-as-day-wear pieces,' If Only If's owner and creative director Emily Campbell told ELLE UK. 'Never one to shy away from a matchy moment, I went head first (excuse the pun) into our chocolate gingham dresses adding a matching headscarf with contrast ric-rac trim. I was tentative with the buy - would people feel the same way I did - would it all feel too Maria Von Trapp? Of course, I should not have worried. Our gingham headscarf was our first sell out style this summer. I know why; practical (windy hairs be gone) and cute. What more could you want?' We couldn't agree more.

Suddenly, Every Cool Girl Has This Embellished Bag in Her Closet
Western-inspired fashion is having a major renaissance. Suede, flashy buckles, and fringe abounded on spring/summer 2025 runways and are now all over the street style scene, too. But you don't need to go full-on cowgirl to get in on the trend. One of the easiest ways to tap into it? A studded bag. Studded bags are surprisingly versatile. Available in a wide range of silhouettes, they can be at once playful and utilitarian, or relaxed yet elevated. On the catwalk, designers styled them with billowy blouses and sweeping dresses, while Bella Hadid and Alexa Chung have been spotted pairing Valentino Garavani's studded suede shopper with simple trousers or jeans. Ready to try the boho-chic look for yourself? Scroll on to shop the best studded bags below. Debuting with Alessandro Michele's first Valentino collection, the archival-inspired Nellcôte quickly became an editor and celebrity favorite. Striking fringe and stud details make it a shining example of the current Western craze, while a timeless silhouette and genuine suede finish ensures it'll outlast the trend cycle.

Here's How To Nail Summer's Hottest (And Easiest) Styling Hack
Fashion has a nasty habit of eating itself alive. One minute, it's declaring a new era of conscious consumption, the next, it's posting another 'how to style it five ways' reel that looks suspiciously like a soft launch for another micro-trend. Right now, the plat du jour isn't a cult buy, nor is it a new trend. No, the most overused concept is the styling hack. Just the other night, at a dinner party heavy on fashion people and on low carbs, no fewer than four guests had tied silk scarves around their waists in a knowing nod to Alexa Chung. Which is to say: the styling hack has supplanted the It-bag as shorthand for style fluency. And the easiest way in right now? The bandana. ©Instagram @alexachung / @haileybieber Not a new trend, but the trend before trend. Pre-dating social media, style algorithms and the tyranny of the capsule wardrobe, it's the original accessory-as-attitude. A square of cotton that suggests you might have read Joan Didion but also spent last weekend on a yacht in Palermo. You know the look: Alexa does it slouched on a speedboat, as does Hailey Bieber. Gracie Abrams is hardly ever seen without one, Timothée Chalamet tied his beneath his chin in a more peculiar way (nonetheless, he's committed), Diane Kruger wore one to fashion week, and Kylie Jenner, of course, wraps up like Grace Kelly in To Catch a Thief. ©Instagram, @gracieabrams / @kendalljenner The point is: if it's good enough for them, it's certainly good enough for us. But there's a fine line between peasant-cum-riviera-chic and stroppy '90s teenager. Want to settle for the former? There are some basic bandana rules to follow and before you know it, you'll have mastered this simple styling hack (apologies), and let your sun-bleached baseball cap off on the sabbatical it sorely deserves. Sex And The City, 2003 ©Getty The key to getting it right lies in various factors: the fold (always diagonal), the size (a square somewhere around 60 x 60cm, otherwise you'll end up with too much floating fabric), where you tie it (at the back of your head beneath the hairline, or under your chin for a more traditional take), the fabric (cotton, ideally), how you keep it on (tie it tightly but also use bobby pins in an X-shape where it feels too lose, or apply hairspray just before putting it on for better grip). What else? Need to take it off for a dip into the sea? Tie it to your bag like a bag charm, or pull it through a belt loop on your trousers. You got this. 1. Miu Miu, Printed Poplin Scarf 2. Universal Surplus, Green Bandana 3. Polo Ralph Lauren, Paisley Bandana 4. Lescarf, Silk Bandana 5. Cos, Silk Scarf 6.
