The best nightgowns that you can wear as a dress, since it's a sleepwear-as-streetwear summer
The summer of 2025 is the summer of pajamas as real clothing. Walk around SoHo or Brooklyn, and you'll see tons of New York City's tastemakers wearing boxers as shorts. Often, these are paired with a long-sleeved button-down in what I call the "Skype interview" or Risky Business aesthetic. So it stands to reason that nightgowns are the next bedroom staple to emerge from the intimates drawer and onto the city streets. Credit this to Sabrina Carpenter's tour wardrobe, influencer Harling Ross' collaboration with nightdress brand If Only If, the rise of a vintage, romantic aesthetic, or even the simple fact that we deserve a break from fitted waistbands. All of these dresses (minus the last one, which is made from a linen blend) are 100% cotton. Once you go 100% cotton, it's almost impossible to return to the stifling polyester blends that are so common in sundresses. Cotton — especially cotton poplin — is breathable, light, and feels great against your skin. All these nightgowns function as some of the best pajamas, even if you choose to wear them as a dress. And they're perfect for hot sleepers in the summer who want the best cooling pajamas for temperature regulation. A short, breezy choice that isn't see-through at all The Alice Nightgown from Lake is made from a seersucker material that stays crisp and cool. I got it in the more nightdress-adjacent white color, but there are other colorways, like nautical blue or mint green, that look a little more like real dresses. How it feels to wear as a dress: I want all my dresses to feel this breathable and light. The Alice Nightgown basically floats around your body, with no uncomfortable necklines or even rough seams. When there's inevitably a day in the summer when it's so humid that breathing outside feels like gulping steam, this is the dress I will reach for. Not only does the white version not show sweat, but the fabric is also cool to the touch and supremely airy. This nightgown is also pretty opaque. While some of the dresses on this list lean into the casual sheerness of cotton, the seersucker material keeps this from being translucent, even in direct sunlight. How it feels to sleep in it: I mentioned above that when the humidity hits, this is the first dress I'll be wearing outside. So I have a feeling that this piece will be constantly in the wash, because this would be my choice for hot, sticky nights as well. Trust me, sleeping in front of the fan in this crisp, thin-strapped dress will be a much more pleasant experience than sleeping in an old T-shirt that's probably made with nonporous synthetics. Fabrics make all the difference when it comes to temperature control. The elegant vintage gown that's too pretty to just wear to bed When I walk around in The Kayla from Eileen West, I feel like a heroine from a bygone era. Granted, the heroine of a Jane Austen novel would never use this nightgown as an outside dress — but she would have a great scene brushing her hair in front of an antique vanity while wearing it. How it feels to wear as a dress: Modest dressers, be warned that this pick is a little see-through. It's not overly transparent, but you can see the outline of your legs in direct sunlight. Personally, I'm all for enjoying the breezy, sheet-like feel of the dress and leaning into the subtle sheerness. Nude underwear is definitely a must, though. I love wearing this out in the summer. It's perfect for picnics, brunches in the sunshine, and holding a baguette and flowers as you dreamily walk through the farmers market. Unlike some of the more modern cuts, this nightgown has a distinct vintage feel that's fun to lean into. How it feels to sleep in it: Since I have a larger bust, this wouldn't be my first choice for sleeping. The lace neckline — while beautiful — makes this a little tight under my arms and around my chest. Unbuttoning the first two buttons solves this problem pretty well and makes it comfortable enough to be a daytime dress, but I think it would tug at me if I tried to sleep in it. If you don't have a larger bust, though, this shouldn't be a concern. A cottagecore number with Swiss dots and delicate florals With a pattern of tiny blue flowers and a ruffled neckline, the Elizabeth Nightgown is what cottagecore dreams are made of. It makes me wish I had a garden and a sourdough loaf in the oven. How it feels to wear as a dress: On the scale of transparent to opaque, this definitely errs on the side of transparent. If you want to wear it as a dress, pairing it with a nude slip (or even a skirt slip) is a good idea. The aesthetic itself is definitely on par with ultra-feminine trends like hair bows and Mary Janes. Plus, the general vibe is reminiscent of trend-making brands like Hill House (but the dresses and nightgowns there will run you around $200, compared to $74 for Eileen West). How it feels to sleep in it: Because the fabric is a little more sheer, it's also ultra breezy, which makes it good for summer nights. Initially, I had my doubts about sleeping in this gown because of the raised Swiss Dots and the longer length. But even though it's a full-length dress, I had no issues tossing and turning in this at night. And the Swiss Dots didn't cause me any annoyance at all, even though I'm a sensitive sleeper. The perfect dress for cosplaying as a Victorian ghost This dress from Petite Plume was my nightgown gateway drug. I wore it once to bed. And then again to work from home the next day. And then right into bed again. It makes me look like a chic vintage ghost, and I love that about it. How it feels to wear as a dress: The Ava Nightgown isn't very see-through, so it's ready for the streets even with no slip (although it is still a nightgown, so it's not 100% opaque). But it's quite a versatile dress. You can wear the sleeves off the shoulder or keep the square neckline. Personally, I love how it looks off the shoulder, but I can't bring myself to wear a restricting strapless bra with a dress that's meant to be comfy and breezy. It would also look great with a thin belt to give it some shape. How it feels to sleep in it: Wonderful. It's comfortable, loose enough that nothing is tugging at you, and has no extra design details that are for aesthetics rather than comfort. It does get wrinkled in bed, though, but that's expected with 100% cotton. An embroidered pick that's fully opaque This is the only nightgown on this list that's not 100% cotton. It's a mix of cotton and linen, which is the only acceptable "cotton blend" that we will stand for. The material on this one isn't as soft and billowy as the others, but it is considerably more opaque. It's also from one of our favorite up-and-coming clothing brands, Damsen Madder, a London-based label. How it feels to wear as a dress: If you're tall, this will be more like a shirt on you. I'm just under five feet two inches, and even I could use an extra inch or two on the hem. But despite it being a little short, I still get tons of use out of it as a dress. It's what I pull on when I'm crossing the street to get a coffee or walking my dog. Plus, I love the look of the babydoll silhouette with a cute pair of Mary Janes. How it feels to sleep in it: If you want to wear it to bed, I would recommend sizing up a bit. The neckline is a little restricting, so those who thrash about in their sleep might find it a little too uncomfortable. I've also found that the material isn't as breathable as the other picks on this list, so it traps heat in a bit more.

Tom Cruise to Be Celebrated at MoMI with ‘Above and Beyond' Retrospective Festival
Patron saint of theaters Tom Cruise will be at the center of a well-deserved retrospective at the Museum of the Moving Image (MoMI). IndieWire can announce that starting June 20, 22 of Cruise's most iconic films will screen at the museum. Titled 'Tom Cruise, Above and Beyond,' the retrospective festival will 'capture the full range of Cruise's charismatic star performances from the 1980s to present,' as the description teases. 'Tom Cruise has been so central to our conception of Hollywood for so many decades that he's more than a movie star — he encourages us to ask: what is it that makes a movie star? Cruise's entire captivating career speaks to his legacy as a singular movie star, and all the contradictions— of mystery and emotional transparency, of relatability and untouchability, of strength and vulnerability— that entails.' From '80s classics such as 'Risky Business,' 'Top Gun,' 'Cocktail,' and 'The Color of Money' to '90s genre benders like 'The Firm,' 'Jerry Maguire,' and 'Interview with the Vampire,' and auteur works 'Eyes Wide Shut' and 'Magnolia' — not to mention Cruise's Oscar-nominated turn in 'Born on the Fourth of July' — Cruise's career is legendary. Festival highlights further include Ridley Scott's 'Legend,' Francis Ford Coppola's 'The Outsiders,' Barry Levinson's 'Rain Man,' Michael Mann's 'Collateral,' and Rob Reiner's 'A Few Good Men.' Both 'Top Gun' and 'Top Gun: Maverick' will screen, as well as 'Tropic Thunder;' Cruise has teased more respective franchise installments for both. More from IndieWire Cannes 2025 Films Sold So Far: Janus Films Acquires Hlynur Pálmason's 'The Love That Remains' Ana de Armas 'Hated' Singing in Ron Howard's 'Eden': 'I Would Rather Do 100 Stunts' The 'Tom Cruise, Above and Beyond' festival concludes August 17. But that's not all the Cruise programming this summer: The king of blockbusters will be back on the MoMI big screen for the annual 'See It Big: 70mm!' festival at the museum. Both 'Edge of Tomorrow' and 'Top Gun: Maverick' will be presented in 70mm. The weekly 'Summer Saturdays with Dolby Atmos,' presented by MUBI, additionally will showcase 'Top Gun.' Cruise's 'Mission: Impossible' franchise will also be celebrated with the 'Mission: Impossible — Story and Spectacle' exhibition; Cruise is both the producer and star of the film franchise, which concludes with 'Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.' While Cruise's 'Mission: Impossible' career may be over (or, at least for now), the actor turned stuntman told The Hollywood Reporter that he has no plans to ever retire. 'I will never stop. I will never stop doing action, I will never stop doing drama, comedy films — I'm excited,' Cruise said when asked about his former statement that like Harrison Ford, he will keep acting into his 80s. Cruise also had one amendment: 'I actually said I'm going to make movies into my 80s; actually, I'm going to make them into my 100s.' He added, 'There's been so many levels of reward with the filmmakers that I've collaborated with, the crews, the people, the cultures that we've worked in. Everything that I've learned and continue to learn about storytelling, about life, about leadership, about character and every aspect of filmmaking. It's been exceptional, it really is exceptional. I feel very fortunate to be able to make the films that I make and I love it. I love just making movies.'

A jar of The Pink Stuff you'll have on stand-by the next time you want an easier cleaning job. This can make grease, permanent marker, grime, pen, rust, and crayons disappear on stoves, kitchen floors, bathtubs, grills, wood, glass shower doors, AND MORE. It's a tub of magic, essentially. A carpet cleaning solution designed to work with many vacuum machines and rentals so you can kiss deep-set stains goodbye. It'll eliminate any suspect odors and leave your home smelling like spring mint, fresh summer, or light lavender! And a 2-in-1 Hoover carpet cleaner so you can not only extract pet hair that's deep inside your carpet, but also spot-treat any stains. Just push it forward to dispense the cleaning solution (and suck up the grime) and then pull it back to dry. No triggers or buttons, it's all automatic! A set of Sticky Stake insect traps that'll make you gag and wonder how you ever went without one. These work like utter magic to catch fruit flies, gnats, and any other thing that are buzzing around. Next time you snore with your mouth open, you won't wake up in a sweat wondering if you swallowed a fly. Or a pack of two ready-to-use fruit fly traps if you don't want the remains of those pesky bugs on full display. Reviewers say this worked fast and solved their fruit fly problem. A garbage guard for the flies that SWARM you after you open the lid when throwing away your trash. It'll help kill flies, maggots, roaches, or beetles *and* help prevent future infestations. Now throwing away your garbage can feel a little less gag-worthy. A foam gap sealant that'll not only reduce drafts and save on your energy bill, but also help prevent unwanted guests from entering your home (like bugs and MICE). The foam expands to one inch to create a strong, durable seal in gaps and cracks. A pack of six nontoxic pantry moth traps with pheromones to attract these unsettling bugs to their death so you don't have to whip out a fly swatter (or flip flop) in your kitchen. Just let it work its magic and toss it after your problem is solved — how easy! And a window fly trap so you can put down your swatter or dish rag when bug season gets the best of your home. This efficient catcher will be like the pet frog you *almost* bought for this problem. A drywall repair putty that'll ~roll~ over the very visible nail holes from that time you misjudged where to hammer — and quickly fix them. It's also *perfect* for renters because: paying for this > not getting your security deposit back. A garage door sensor shade for certain Genie models because they might not be working thanks to the sun's mighty glare. Don't worry, though; this will help it get back in perfect order. A set of heavy-duty hangers reviewers use to help hang up lights, plants, and cute accent pieces to make their vinyl siding a little more exciting. This requires *no* drilling and is super easy to install! A 15-pack of nonslip stair tread tape because all it takes is one wrong move in your socks on wooden stairs to start 🎶soaring, flying🎶 down those steps. This will make your staircase safer and can help prevent any accidents. Transparent special tape that'll help curtains slide by making a smooth surface on your rod so you can easily flick your shower curtain open or closed. This will prevent that eye-roll-worthy moment of you trying to slide your curtain closed and it's not budging an INCH. A clear toy blocker because despite your ~pawfect~ throw, toys always end up underneath furniture and other dusty, crumb-ridden areas when playing with your pet. You can install these to avoid that frustration and cut them to fit any space perfectly — plus, they can be removed without leaving behind any residue, washed, and stuck back in place without losing their stickiness or causing damage! A fireplace cleaner kit that comes with a brush so you can remove soot, ash, and grime that's making your cozy fireplace look straight out of a haunted mansion. Reviewers say they got amazing results, and it required minimal effort!

Tom Cruise: I don't want to be the last movie star
Tom Cruise hopes he's not the "last movie star". The 62-year-old actor has enjoyed a hugely successful career in the movie business, starring in films such as 'Risky Business', 'Top Gun' and 'The Color of Money' - but Tom hopes that up-and-coming actors will fill the void that he'll leave behind, despite the changing landscape in Hollywood. Asked if he might be the last true movie star, Tom - who is currently promoting in 'Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning' - told 'Entertainment Tonight': "I don't want to be. "There's so many other talented actors out there and I want to see them crush it." Tom actually highlighted 'Sinners' star Michael B. Jordan as one of the brightest talents in Hollywood. The veteran actor admitted to being wowed by 'Sinners', the recently-released supernatural horror film, and revealed that he'd love to work with Michael, 38, one day. Speaking about Michael's success, Tom said: "I'm a huge fan of his. That film 'Sinners' is amazing. "We're going to make a movie together." Tom recently took to social media to reveal that he watched 'Sinners' in a cinema and was wowed by the Ryan Coogler-directed film. He wrote on X at the time: "Congratulations Ryan, Michael, and to the entire cast and crew. Must see in a cinema and stay through the end credits!" Tom subsequently confirmed that he would "love" to work with Michael one day. The award-winning star urged fans to see 'Sinners' for themselves, describing the horror as a "great film". Speaking to 'Extra', Tom explained: "Huge fan of his, huge fan of what he and Coogler do together. Great film, great film. "I recommend everyone go and see that picture many, many times. You know, you want to see it on the big screen." Tom believes Michael - who previously starred in the 'Creed' and 'Black Panther' film franchises - is an "enormously talented" actor. The movie icon also confirmed that he's eager to collaborate with Michael on a film project. Tom said: "He's enormously talented, very charismatic, great actor. I look forward to, I'd love to make a movie with him. "I've already put it out there ... Years ago, when I first met him, I was like, 'This guy, I'd like to make movies with him.'" What's more, Tom recently confirmed that he has no plans to retire from the movie business. The actor actually hopes to still be making movies "into [his] 100s". Asked about his long-term career plans, Tom told The Hollywood Reporter: "I'm going to make them into my 100s. "I will never stop. I will never stop doing action, I will never stop doing drama, comedy films - I'm excited."
