Ashley Olsen’s Baggy Pants Are So Much Cooler Than Skinny Jeans
While skinny jeans are definitely a wardrobe classic, we talk a lot about the other cool options out there if you want to mix it up a bit. You have Nicole Kidman’s bell bottoms, posh trousers à la Jennifer Lopez, and Lucy Hale’s particularly chic collection of wide-leg jeans, and now you have a laid-back outfit from Ashley Olsen.
Photographed en route to the movie theater, Olsen wore a cozy outfit that included an oversize sweater, ultra-baggy pants, and casual pool slides. It’s not an outfit that particularly screams summer, but leave it to Olsen to stick to her personal aesthetic—read: all-black—at all times. Oh, and did you happen to notice she’s wearing a new ring on that finger? No word yet if it’s an engagement ring, but we’ll be waiting with bated breath to find out. In the meantime, scroll down to see how she styled baggy pants and shop similar pieces for yourself. Who knows, maybe you’ll end up putting your skinny jeans on hold for a bit and giving wide-leg trousers a whirl.
Next, these four summer prints just earned me gobs of compliments.
Watch Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe Fight an Octopus in ‘The Lighthouse’ Trailer
The Lighthouse is a new movie from Robert Eggers, who made the instant 2015 horror classic The Witch. It looks like both stories have a lot in common, too, based on this intensely weird, creepy trailer for Lighthouse, which stars Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson.
Broadly speaking, The Witch was about people in isolation with warped imaginations and how the supernatural and psychological overlap until insanity and paranormal terror are impossible to tell apart. The Lighthouse takes that dynamic and pares it down to just two men, one young and one old, and puts them on a nameless, rocky island where they dance, face evil seagulls, and Pattinson’s character deals with what looks like an octopus attack.
Both Dafoe’s and Pattinson’s characters clearly have secrets and the gray isolation (yes, the movie is shot in black and white) must be a part of it. It’s Pattinson who seems more secretive, as you can hear Dafoe repeating “Why’d ya spill yer beans?” over and over throughout the trailer, as if berating him for finally telling the truth.
Correspondents for The Vulture saw the movie at Cannes and commentary from their report on that promises one hell of a ride:
Pattinson’s entire performance is absolutely wild. It reminds me of Jack Nicholson in The Shining — ax wielding included! Pattinson starts the movie out quiet, stoic, in his classic Mysterious Mode, dutifully hurling buckets of shit into the ocean, scrubbing the floors, and pushing wheelbarrows full of coal across precarious rocks.
But slowly, he starts to turn. He begins chugging liquor directly from the bottle on the job. He masturbates with increasing fury, eventually ending up half-naked on the shanty floor, sobbing. Time loses meaning; he punches his fist through a clock. Chunks of vomit litter his once-debonair moustache. During one particularly drunken evening, he screams at Dafoe about how badly he wants meat. “If I had a steak right now,” he yells, “I would fuck it!” (…)
We don’t even need a proper synopsis after that. This is one of those you just go see for the WTF factor.
The Lighthouse will hit theaters just in time for Halloween on October 18, 2019.
‘American Horror Story: 1984’ Shares New Teasers Straight Out Of 1980s Slasher Movies
FX just dropped teasers for American Horror Story: 1984 and one thing is clear: Show creator Ryan Murphy really knows how to do classic slasher film callbacks. Seriously, this looks just like footage from the best dead kids at ’80s horror camp classic you never saw.
The first teaser is less than a minute long, but the true fan of that golden age which stretched from the late 70s to the mid-80s might spot little nods to iconic tales like Halloween and—most obviously—Friday the 13th.
The second teaser asks a question: “Who do you think will survive?” It’s just over twenty seconds long but we’re going to make an educated guess about those odds of survival. For most of the cast, they are likely very, very low.
Especially—if showrunner Ryan Murphy stays true to the genre—if the imperiled young people in question are doing drugs or having sex or both. In the prototypical slasher flick those are direct routes to a terrible demise. Only the smart and plucky tend to make it through.
Between this 9th season of AHS and Stranger Things Season 3, it looks like Reagan-era nostalgia is kicking into high gear.
Get ready to head back to one of those doomed camps (apparently) when American Horror Story: 1984 premieres on September 18.
Sorry, Brad and Margot, Leonardo DiCaprio Just Won This Red Carpet
Summer is the best time to go to the movies, not least because it’s an air-conditioned respite from the oppressive heat. This month has seen the release of The Lion King, which brought us a new crop of Beyoncé red carpet looks, and now it’s almost time for the movie I circled with a big fat red pen on my calendar this summer: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Starring the dream trifecta of Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Margot Robbie… Oh, sorry, did you actually need any more info?
Here’s the gist: It’s Quentin Tarantino’s ninth film and it delves into the movie and TV industry in 1969 Los Angeles. Only time will tell if it will live up to the likes of Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill, but the red carpet premiere photos will have to tide us over for now. Naturally, the whole cast was on hand for both the L.A. and London premieres, including Pitt, DiCaprio, and Robbie. In London, DiCaprio stole the spotlight with his stunna shades by Oliver Peoples and sharp suit, which contrasted Pitt’s more laid-back button-down shirt. Sunglasses on the red carpet is a risky move, but naturally he pulled it off and managed to look even cooler than he already is. Scroll down to see the best outfits from the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood red carpet premieres.
Next up, Scarlett Johansson just revealed her alarmingly massive engagement ring.

Gigi and Bella Hadid Are Really Leaning Into the Thong Bikini Trend on Vacation
When you’re a supermodel on vacation in Greece, what better swimwear trend to pack than the thong bikini trend? Gigi and Bella Hadid were clearly on the same page about that, as the two have been living their best lives on the beach in Mykonos over the past several days wearing a series of high-leg thong bikinis. The sisters are clearly enjoying their downtime before gearing up for fashion month, and have been thoroughly documenting their summer vacation with friends on Instagram. But back to the swimsuits.
Not only did they choose similar bikini styles for the trip, Gigi and Bella also chose to lean into fully accessorized beach looks to pair with their array of bikinis. Both were decked out in gold jewelry, statement sunglasses, and hats for the beach and pool, putting to rest the past notion that wearing accessories to the beach is a faux pas. Keep scrolling to see the very on-trend beach style of Gigi and Bella in Greece and shop stylish thong bikinis for yourself (if you’re so inclined).
$5 Can’t Get You a Lot, But It Can Get You a Personal Shopping Service on Amazon
Let’s be honest—Amazon Prime is basically an addiction at this point, but how could it not be? You can get quality products at affordable prices on your doorstep essentially overnight. What’s not to love? While right now, you probably purchase everything from your cleaning supplies to your suitcases on Amazon Prime, the sartorial section of the site is a bit trickier to navigate, and the team members at Amazon know it. Their solution? A chic personal shopping service that does all the digging for you, of course.
Today, Amazon Fashion launched Personal Shopper by Prime Wardrobe. This service is available only to Prime members via the Amazon app for just $4.99 a month. That $5 will get you a highly curated (thanks to the in-depth style profile you fill out) selection of items each month, from which you can choose up to eight items to have delivered right to your door. It’s like having a whole new wardrobe shipped to you each month for, yes, only $5. From there, you have up to seven days to try everything on and decide which items you want to keep and pay for. The rest are returned for free via the re-sealable box and prepaid label. If you’re wondering what the catch is, you’re not alone, but if there’s one thing we know, it’s that Amazon is best at its convenience, so really this whole service makes so much sense.
