The Allure of a Pucci Girl Summer
First came Hot Girl Summer. Then Sad Girl Autumn, Tomato Girl Summer and Short King Spring. If the law of any vibe-defining term is that it must spawn its own aesthetic genealogy, it was only a matter of time before the designation of the season became clear. As to what that may be … well, 'It's a Pucci girl summer,' one TikTok trend-watcher summed up. 'A Pucci girl summer,' another echoed. 'The Pucci Woman Is Taking Over My Summer Moodboard,' British Vogue stated. The brand, founded by Marchese Emilio Pucci di Barsento in 1947 and known for its swirling, sunlight-on-the-Med prints and Côte d'Azur colors, is now located not just in the stable of the luxury group LVMH but also in the resort of the mind. It has captured both the imagination of the influencer sphere, where buzz can act as a sort of mirage, and the retail moment. 'Pucci is currently our No. 1 resort brand, with sales more than doubling year-on-year,' said Heather Kaminsky, the chief executive of Net-a-Porter. This is true among customers in the United States and Europe, she said, 'especially our frequently traveling E.I.P.s' (extremely important people). A spokesman for Mytheresa, which introduced a Pucci capsule collection in April, said 'basically everything is a best seller.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

A tale of two totes: These beach bags are seaside-to-city staples
It's time to face facts: women wear 20 per cent of their wardrobes 80 per cent of the time. Investing in a holiday wardrobe that only gets worn for two weeks a year doesn't make financial sense, however long you keep your clothes. Everything we buy needs to work extra hard for the money. Right now, beach bags are the 'It' items seguing from seaside to city. Thankfully, summer 2025's key styles are some of the chicest yet. Giant straw bags and striped market totes are cool statement makers. After all, if you buy a bag you love, why wouldn't you carry it everywhere? Kay Barron, fashion director at Net-a-Porter, agrees: 'Straw bags are much more versatile than you think and shouldn't be exclusively brought out for holidays. They are excellent city weekend bags and add a chic French nonchalance to denim and white shirting.' In recent seasons designers have elevated humbly crafted baskets (which look like they were picked up from a harbour-side stall) with logos and subsequently stratospheric price tags. The Net-a-Porter's bestsellers edit includes the latest Loewe + Paula's Ibiza collection [the Ola bag is £1,650] and the Olivia large raffia shoulder bag by Khaite [£1,810].' Before you choke on your iced latte, be aware that the high street and independent designers all have options that won't make such a sizeable dent in your summer spending. For those looking for something a little more dopamine-inducing than the rusticity of a raffia basket, the trend for bright striped totes – echoing the styles you might fill with heirloom tomatoes and a loaf of artisan sourdough from the farmers' market – is equally hot this summer. In the UK, one of the first brands to focus on the stripy style was Ace & Prince. Co-founded by Chloe Forde in 2020, Ace & Prince's mission is longevity and its tote's super strong nylon and canvas fabrication ensures this. 'I love the idea of an accessory that lasts a really long time, no matter what phase of your life you're in,' explains Forde. With a parallel career as a stylist, Forde notes that while she doesn't often dress colourfully, utilising a 'pop of colour from an accessory is an easy way to style yourself'. This is particularly pertinent in the city, which sometimes calls for a more sober clothing palette. Instagram creator Emma Paton is a fan of striped totes for country, coastal and city-wear: 'Stripes are timeless and never go out of style [but] they do seem to be this summer's print.' Her love of stripes sparked a collaboration with brand The Contents Bag on a range of totes, which can be styled away from the French Riviera climes that inspired the designs. Paton suggests wearing one of her striped totes with 'a white maxi skirt and cami top', and says not to be afraid of 'wearing stripes with stripes' – her favourite 'Balzac Paris Léonor blue stripe shirt' is a staple for this. Whether you yearn for the hit of a striped shopping tote or the bucolic charm of a straw basket, both styles can instantly transport you back to holiday mode, even when you are battling a frenetic city commute. When fashion is the catalyst for such happy, nostalgic summer memories, surely you would want to keep them close at the most stressful times of your life? Doubling the wear of a formerly holiday-only item is undoubtedly the best way to do it.

Love Island full release schedule: From what time it's on, to why you won't see the show on Saturday
It's almost that time. The Love Island Villa is just hours away from opening once again to a whole new group of singles looking for their summer of love, guaranteed to have us entertained as the show celebrates its 10th anniversary. And as the show marks a decade of cracking on, eggs in one basket and 'got a text', we reckon there's going to be plenty of surprises in store this season. So before we start sharing theories and memes in the group chat, this is all the essential watching information you need, ahead of the series starting tonight, to ensure you don't miss a minute of grafting and pies. Love Island airs every day of the week apart from Saturday nights. Following Sunday night's episode each week, Love Island: Aftersun will air where host Maya Jama will be joined by that week's dumped Islanders and the Aftersun panelists Sam Thompson, Indiyah Polack, Amy Hart and new additions Ash Holme and Joe Baggs to discuss that week's events in the villa. Since Love Island first began the show has never aired a new episode on a Saturday night, instead a roundup of the not-yet-seen funny moments and outtakes from that week's filming is shown in an hour long episode called Unseen Bits. Previous contestants have revealed we don't get to see a fresh new episode on Saturday because the Islanders get the day off from filming and cleaners head into the Villa to do a major clean. "What happens is, it gives them a day to clean the villa, and you take your mics off, and normally we go to the beach," Kem Cetinay explained on This Morning back in 2017. Every night Love Island will air at 9pm BST. Some nights the episodes will be exactly an hour long, others an hour and 5 mins, and in some instances, like tonight's launch show [9 June], the episode will be 90 minutes long. Love Island will be shown on ITV2 and ITVX, with all episodes available for catchup on ITVX. While not 100 per cent confirmed as of yet, Love Island usually runs for around eight weeks. Love Island starts tonight on ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm You Might Also Like A ranking of the very best hair straighteners - according to our Beauty Editors Best party dresses to shop in the UK right now 11 products you'd be mad to miss from the Net A Porter beauty sale

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's daughter Shiloh, 19, debuts new name
Shiloh Jolie had debuted her new name during a rare public appearance in Los Angeles, Calif., earlier this week. The daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie attended the launch of designer Isabel Marant's capsule collection with Net-A-Porter Thursday, where she unveiled her new moniker after famously dropping the 'Pitt' last name in 2024. Shiloh, who served as the choreographer of one of the dance numbers during the glitzy invite-only event, was listed as 'Shi Jolie' on the credits, The Post can confirm. Her new name shortens her legal name and serves as a clear nod to her famous mom. The 19-year-old staged a recital that featured dancers Tako Suzuki and Keoni Rose and was accompanied by singer Luella's performance of 'Naïve.' The intimate dinner was held at Schindler's Oliver House in Silver Lake, near LA, and was attended by celebrities including Alison Brie, January Jones and Rachel Bilson. The Post has reached out to Pitt's reps for comment. The teen made headlines last year after legally requesting to drop her father's last name on her 18th birthday in May 2024. The request was granted by a judge in August 2024, prompting Shiloh to be legally known as Shiloh Nouvel Jolie. It's believed that she did not seek any help from the 'Maleficent' actress throughout the process. 'Shiloh hired her own lawyer and paid for it herself, so Angie doesn't know and can't speak for it,' a source told Entertainment Tonight at the time. In July, Shiloh's attorney Peter Levine told Page Six in part that she made 'an independent and significant decision following painful events' in dropping 'Pitt' from her last name. Shiloh isn't the only child in her family that has decided to sever ties with the 'Fight Club' actor through a legal name change. In the lead-up to Pitt and Jolie finalizing their divorce in December 2024 following a messy 8-year battle, Zahara Jolie-Pitt, 20, also decided to switch-up her moniker. At Spelman College's Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority induction ceremony in 2023, she proudly announced her name — 'Zahara Marley Jolie' — as captured in a video that later spread across social media. Eagle-eyed fans also noticed Shiloh's sister Vivienne dropped her dad's surname in 'The Outsiders' Playbill in May 2024. The dancer — who helped mom Jolie produce the Broadway play — was reportedly listed as 'Vivienne Jolie' in the magazine for theatergoers. What's more, a source claimed to Us Weekly in 2021 that Pitt and Jolie's eldest child, Maddox, 'doesn't use Pitt as his last name on documents that aren't legal and instead uses Jolie.' The 'Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood' actor, 61, and Jolie, 49, welcomed Shiloh in May 2006, and her twin siblings Knox and Vivienne in July 2008. Pitt officially adopted Jolie's adopted children Maddox, 23, and Zahara in 2005, and Pax, 21, in 2006. The 'World War Z' actor was said to have been 'aware and upset' that Shiloh had legally dropped his last name. 'He's never felt more joy than when she was born,' a source told People in 2024. 'He always wanted a daughter.' 'The reminders that he's lost his children is, of course, not easy for Brad. He loves his children and misses them. It's very sad.' Last month, Pitt broke his silence on finalizing his divorce from Jolie. 'No, I don't think it was that major of a thing,' the 'F1' star told GQ. 'Just something coming to fruition. Legally.' Pitt also acknowledged that his 'personal life is always in the news.' 'It's been in the news for 30 years, bro. Or some version of my personal life, let's put it that way,' he said. 'It's been an annoyance I've had to always deal with in different degrees, large and small, as I do the things I really want to do,' Pitt continued of his celebrity status. 'So, it's always been this kind of nagging time suck or waste of time, if you let it be that, I don't know. I don't know. 'Mostly I feel pretty … My life is fairly contained,' he shared. 'It feels pretty warm and secure with my friends, with my loves, with my fam, with my knowledge of who I am, that, you know, it's like this fly buzzing around a little bit.'
