If anyone can turn a pair of skinny jeans into a look, it’s J.Lo. It’s consistently been her most worn denim style over the years, and she always succeeds at dressing them up when she’s so inclined. Case in point: While out to dinner in Los Angeles last night, Lopez wore a pair of light-wash skinny jeans (perfect for summer) and Christian Louboutin pumps with a trend that’s currently on the rise—the belted blazer, which our editor Anna discussed at length here, and our editor Nicole wore and discussed here.

It’s easy to just assume that all summer trends are made to be worn on a tropical vacation, but the reality is that most of us have jobs and other non-beachy occasions that require something a little more polished than, say, a tie-dye maxi dress and a basket bag. 

It’s not surprising that J.Lo’s figure-flattering Balmain blazer in the loveliest shade of pale pink is sold out, but there are plenty of other belted blazers on the market to choose from (some of which are currently on sale). Keep scrolling to see how Lopez and a few other stylish women are styling theirs, and shop some of our belted-blazer picks.

Next up, seven times Jennifer Lopez broke outfit rules and looked fabulous anyway.

Todd Snyder‘s arrangement with Timex frequently has him digging into the venerable watchmaker’s archives, and that has resulted in some beautiful reissues in which true classics once consigned to history come back, but with better timekeeping tech than ever. 

Most recently he was struck by ads from the mid-1950s for a model once called the Mercury, and was reminded of his own father’s taste in timepieces. That’s how the Welton Bi-Metal began its journey to store shelves. 

The Welton has that streamlined 50s look but on the inside, it’s a product of the 21st century. It was originally powered by V-Conic mechanical movement back in the day, a design that was part of Timex’s rep for toughness—legendary slugger Mickey Mantle supposedly once taped a V-Conic-powered watch to his bat and rattled off 50 homers during batting practice. 

Great as it was, quartz is the standard now and that’s what keeps the Welton going. That quartz movement is protected by a stainless steel case with a domed acrylic crystal that’s rated up to 30 meters. Bound up with an elegant leather strap, it makes a pretty ideal Father’s Day selection—to subtly request, if you’re a dad, or to give to your own old man.

This reissue is yet another in a series of Timex models that aren’t concerned with size, but instead come with slim 34 mm cases and 18 mm lug widths—they’re the definition of cool, classy, and understated. 

The Welton Bi-Metal will be sold at the New York City Todd Snyder flagship store on Madison Square Park and exclusively at ToddSnyder.com for $158. It launches May 29th.

Kendall Jenner is living her best single life in sizzling bikini pics she recently posted to Instagram. 

Following her split with Philadelphia 76ers star Ben Simmons, 2018’s highest-paid model donned a pink floral bikini top and matching bottoms in a pair of selfies taken from a swanky hotel suite. 

The New York Post writes that the two-piece is by Australian brand Peony Swimwear. 

And in a second bikini-clad pic taken just days earlier at Atibes, France’s Hôtel du Cap, Jenner rocks a scanty number from Wanderlust Swim. 

But the 23-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians star’s hottest recent posts are definitely her new Calvin Klein ads. 

In addition to the above bra-less look that she’s nailed time and time again, she sports a see-through body suit and a red-hot dress in a video for the fashion giant. 

From nude behind-the-scenes photos captured during recent Vogue cover shoot to VS Fashion Show throwbacks, celebrate Jenner’s single status with more of her greatest’ ‘grams below: 

Bugatti’s ultra-expensive concept hypercar won big at Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este. 

The $18 million Bugatti La Voiture Noire, which took the the title of the world’s most expensive new car when it was unveiled earlier this year at Geneva, earned the annual Italian automotive festival’s Design Award in the esteemed Concept Cars and Prototypes class, Airows reports. 

La Voiture Noire—French for “The Black Car”—is a one-off model built to commemorate Bugatti’s 110th anniversary. 

Powered by the Chiron’s totally ludicrous 1,500-horsepower W16 engine, it’s capable of hitting a savagely fast top speed of 260 mph. 

An integrated, “all-of-a-piece” design was inspired by the Bugatti 1936 Type 57 SC Atlantic. 

The legendary classic automobile was created by company founder Ettore Bugatti’s son, Jean. There are only two known surviving examples, one of which is owned by Ralph Lauren. 

Now the La Voiture Noire’s mysterious multimillionaire owner has yet another reason to be proud of his (or her!) ultra-exclusive ride.
