For the third annual Who What Wear 100 Beauty Awards, Beauty Director Erin Jahns worked with in-house beauty-editor testers and a roster of celebrity experts to share a curated list of the best beauty products across makeup, hair, skincare, and more.

One of this year’s winners in the hair category was Roz’s Salt Scalp Scrub.

“Both of our hairstylists commented on this one and reviewed it and said that it’s a must to remove buildup and give your scalp a refresh,” Jahns said.

Another favorite in the makeup category (for the second year in a row) was Makeup by Mario’s Master Mattes Palette.

“It’s basically just the perfect palette,” Jahns said.

In the latest episode of The Who What Wear Podcast, Jahns talks to Editor in Chief Kat Collings about some of this year’s standout products—including a foundation that is worth the splurge and an unexpected tool.

For excerpts from their conversation, scroll below.

Was there one product that several beauty power players were really into?

I would say Roz’s Salt Scalp Scrub.

[Both] of our hairstylists commented on this one and reviewed it and said that it’s a must to remove buildup and give your scalp a refresh.

They love using it once a week, and it gives you incredible volume at the roots and really a fresh base for anything you’re doing the rest of the week.

It’s also very gentle and perfect before a big event, like a wedding or red carpet.

You mentioned the scalp scrub. Are there any other standouts that you think our readers should definitely know about?

Chris McMillan launched a line in the last year.

All of his products are great, but his Glassy Smooth Hair Oil won for best hair oil, and it is so great.

It does really give you that glassiness but without any oiliness or heaviness.

Then Crown Affair’s Overnight Repair Serum was another one where you just apply it at night.

It feels very lightweight, it smells nice, and then you wake up and you feel like if you have split ends, you can’t really see them anymore.

Your hair just feels stronger, shinier, and one of those kind of easy things that you can just do before you go to bed and wake up with better-looking hair and then get that instant gratification, but also obviously with time kind of builds upon the results.

Let’s talk about makeup. Is there a universal product that you think literally anyone or almost anyone could pick up in Sephora and love?

This is another one that I think all the celebrity makeup artists on our panel would back me up would be the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray, especially if you do use base products like a concealer or a foundation.

As we’re heading into summer, when, you know, maybe skin gets a little bit hotter, it just locks everything in.

There’s another one, too. Makeup Forever’s Multitasking Artist Color Pencil. That’s an OG.

I feel like you see all the celebrities wearing it or testing it on TikTok or, you know, makeup artists love it, too.

You can use it as a lip liner, an eyeliner, can use it as a shadow, a blush, and it has lots of iconic shades.

Are there any other celeb faves from the guest panel of judges?

This product actually won last year as well, so this is an example of a product that just could not be beat in its category. It’s the Makeup by Mario Master Mattes Palette in original.

It’s basically just the perfect palette.

We had two of our makeup artists, Renée Loiz and then Lila Childs, both comment on this.

Then we also had our aesthetician, Candace Marino, we had Bridget Brager, who’s our celebrity hairstylist—or one of our celebrity hairstylist judges—so, so much applause for this product.

Are there any makeup winners that you don’t necessarily need but are kind of a fun treat-yourself moment?

One of our other most expensive products that we gave an award to, especially the makeup category, was the Hermès Plein Air Luminous Matte Foundation.

It’s definitely not the type of matte foundation where it feels cakey or really, really matte, like 2016 era, but gives you this kind of cloud-like finish where it doesn’t look too dewy or wet like some foundations end up looking.

Any products that surprised you or that kind of disrupted your status quo gold-standard beauty routine?

Mara’s Pearl Peptide Glaze, which I’ve already heard is one of our top sellers so far since our winners were announced. It’s just really dreamy.

It’s kind of a three-in-one essence, toner, serum hybrid, and it really does just instantly transform your skin.

Let’s move on to tools. What’s one splurge you would recommend?

This kind of depends on what you’re into, whether you’re kind of a hair person, whether you are trying to improve your skin, because our tools section really spans everything.

I think that the one best thing that you can purchase is the Qure shower filter, which is $99. It’s easy to install.

There’s different colors and finishes. It uses a triple-layer filtration system that reduces 99% of chlorine, heavy metals, harsh minerals that are usually getting in your hair, getting on your skin, and just drying and stripping.

It’s one of those things that helps improve all the other products that you’re using.

This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

Fashion is moving away from perfectly minimalist style—and it’s more exciting because of it. Instead of an all-neutral ensemble, cool girls are blending bold colors, exciting textures, and unconventional silhouettes to create double-take-worthy looks. During the hottest months of the year, this experimentation ramps up tenfold thanks to forgiving weather, leading to a slew of summer style trends that inject dopamine right into your wardrobe.

Cultural moments like the World Cup and a return to nostalgic aesthetics are directly influencing this shift. Living in New York City, I can’t walk three blocks without spotting at least two sports jerseys. Not to mention, Y2K-inspired running shorts are flooding Central Park. And the vintage-inspired nightgowns reserved for the bedroom? They’ve officially been given the green light to step onto sidewalks and into restaurants.

The cool girl summer fashion trends of 2026 aren’t for the faint of heart, requiring a daring choice to step outside of the clean, understated mold we’ve been accustomed to. But that’s exactly what fashion is about: taking a risk, trying something new, and maybe even falling in love with the unexpected. If you’re ready, keep scrolling for major outfit inspiration.

Sleep Dresses

If you’re like me, you hit the snooze button one too many times. Thankfully, this sleepy dress trend is anything but tired. The babydoll silhouette is reminiscent of Oliva Rodrigo’s latest album style, channeling feelings of whimsy and innocence. The trick to making it not look like you just rolled out of bed? Elevated shoes and an intentional bag choice.

Sports Jerseys

Per Pinterest’s Summer 2026 Trend Report: From Sports to Street Style, searches for World Cup jerseys have skyrocketed by 840%. Considering this is a sporting event that spans, well, the world, it’s no surprise that the fanfare has surged. But even if you’re not a soccer (or football) fan per se, the jersey trend is for everyone, offering an unorthodox approach to high-fashion dressing.

Fun Fringe

Fringe is back, but this time it’s less Western-bohemian and more sleek and elevated. Long tassels are showing up on everything from handbags to shirts, highly favored for their vacation-ready appeal.

Running Shorts

The ‘80s called; they’re thrilled the mini running shorts survived. Typically accented with side stripes and split hems, the stretchy shorts are an upgraded take on athleisure. While they’re perfect for a quick jog around the block, pairing them with kitten heels à la Carrie Bradshaw makes it feel deliberate.

Fish Necklaces

Something seems fishy—and it’s definitely the aquatic necklaces. Sardine-girl summer isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, with fish charms dangling around everyone’s neck. It’s a quirky trend, ideal for a season full of ocean-side activities.

Jelly Heels

You’ve heard of jelly flats, but have you slipped into gelatinous heels yet? Chloé paraded a playful, open-toe silhouette down its Spring/Summer 2026 runway—and I’m shocked some of the gummy-bear pairs are still available to shop.

Silk Pants

Perhaps one of the simplest trends to try this summer is silk pants. The swishy bottoms feel like comfortable sweats while looking like elevated trousers, delivering a billowy silhouette made for everything from resort lounging to running errands.

White jeans have been a mainstay in every cool girl’s closet this year, and are still very much a thing. Notable wearers from Dua Lipa to Kendall Jenner have been endorsing them. However, there’s a new denim color trend that It girls in L.A. are trading their white jeans for, and it’s effortlessly chic. Lucy Hale was recently spotted in L.A. wearing a simple striped blue button-down, styled with a pair of gray jeans. Her jeans were a very light, understated gray hue that prompted a double-take.

The rest of her look consisted of a pair of nude flat sandals and an assortment of casual accessories: a pair of black sunglasses, a green baseball cap, and an oversized graphic canvas tote bag. This is a laid-back, simple outfit with a slight twist. The contrasting shade of her gray jeans works better with the shirt than blue jeans would’ve, and she stands out among a sea of her peers wearing white jeans.

If you’re one to wear easy outfits like Lucy’s, keep scrolling to recreate her look and shop more gray jeans to shake up your style.

Bikini season is officially on, making now the perfect time to be up to date on the trending silhouettes so you can refresh your summer wardrobe and enjoy the long, sun-soaked days in style. This year’s bikini trends offer something for every person, from bikini shorts for the sporty dresser to embellished silhouettes for the maximalist dresser.

However, that’s not all to look forward to this summer. If you ask the vacation queen, Dua Lipa, what bikini style is on-trend, her answer wouldn’t be any of the above. Instead, it would probably be the lingerie-inspired design—a lace-trim bikini. How do we know? While honeymooning in Italy, specifically at Hotel Il Pellicano, Lipa was seen in an image sitting seaside playing a card game. For the occasion, she wore a yellow bikini with hot pink lace trim.

The romantic trend of lace-trimming has been having a moment in fashion for a little while now. Last summer, we saw it take hold in satin shorts, specifically the viral pair from Dôen. This spring, it was seen on everything from slip dresses and midi skirts to pants-and-camisole sets. And now it’s on bikinis, proving that the lace-trim trend is not slowing down any time soon.

If you’re inspired to get in on the look for your East Coast or European summer, keep scrolling. Ahead, we’ve rounded up the best lace-trim bikinis on the market right now.

Moses Martin just hopped the pond and made a huge splash in the world of fashion. The 20-year-old son of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin—currently a student at Brown University—just made his modeling debut in an ’80s-inspired campaign with British heritage brand Burberry.

An array of photos was just released featuring Martin alongside models Edie Campbell, Nora Attal, and Sang Woo Kim, as friends embarking on a trip to the British countryside. The collection spotlights summer staples, including the classic Burberry polo, and accessories for men and women.

Green nail polish might not be the most obvious choice for summer 2026, but it’s definitely the most stylish. All kinds of green hues are trending right now, including mint, sage, and now, pistachio. According to Fresha, searches for the creamy yellow-green color are up 171%. It makes sense. After all, beauty trends don’t often stick to a single category, and pistachio perfumes are everywhere. (Searches for the salty, creamy, and subtly sweet fragrance note are up a whopping 852%.) It seems the internet isn’t done embracing gourmand beauty trends. You heard it here first: it’s a pistachio-girl summer!

I already named pistachio as one of the most stylish summer pedicure shades, but now, it’s made its way into manicures. And as any good beauty editor would do, I’ve been searching high and low for the best ones on the internet. I’ve also been curating a list of the best pistachio nail polishes. Keep scrolling to see both.

Thanks to the internet, biotin, or vitamin B7, has become synonymous with hair health. It’s found in hundreds of supplements that claim to grow, strengthen, and thicken fine, fragile hair. But what if I told you that’s not always accurate? (I know…shocker.) As board-certified dermatologist Sejal Shah, MD, FAAD, puts it, the evidence is weak. “Biotin is essential for normal hair growth, but true biotin deficiency is rare. In deficient people, supplementing with biotin can improve hair loss. However, in people with normal biotin levels, high-quality studies have not consistently shown that biotin supplements increase hair growth, thickness, or reduce shedding.” (Read more about the complexities of biotin for hair growth.)

Before you abandon the thought of using biotin, though, you should know that it has another, perhaps less popular benefit: growing and strengthening brittle nails. That’s according to two top dermatologists who say it might be your fix for short, bendy, breaking nails. Keep scrolling to learn everything you need to know.

What Is Biotin?

Biotin, or vitamin B7, is a water-soluble vitamin that’s produced naturally in the body and found in many foods, including meat, eggs, salmon, sweet potatoes, lentils, and nuts. It plays an important role in converting food to energy and helps enzymes break down carboyhydrates, fats, and proteins. It’s also important in cell signaling.

Biotin & Nail Health

According to dermatologist Dara Spearman, MD, FAAD, biotin can really make a difference in the state of the nails, especially if they’re damaged from one too many gel manicures. “Biotin can benefit the nails by boosting the production of keratin, which is the main protein that can be found in finger and toenails,” she says. “Biotin can not only help with the growth, but also the healthiness of your nails.”

Shah agrees, although she says proof in the form of scientific studies is still scarce. “The evidence for nails is better than for hair, although it’s still limited. Several small studies suggest that biotin may improve brittle nails by increasing nail thickness. Biotin may help by supporting keratin, the primary structural protein that makes up nails. Additionally, biotin functions as a cofactor for enzymes involved in producing fatty acids and other molecules needed by rapidly growing tissues like nails. The exact mechanism isn’t fully understood, but improved keratin organization and nail plate integrity are the leading theories.”

Yep, the experts agree that biotin really can improve the strength and health of the nails. However, Shah says, “It’s important to note that biotin doesn’t necessarily make nails grow faster. Instead, stronger nails break less, so they can reach longer lengths.”

How Often to Take Biotin for Nail Health

“The dose most often used in studies is 2.5 mg (2,500 mcg) daily, which is substantially higher than the recommended daily intake for adults (30 mcg/day), but it’s the dose evaluated in most nail studies,” Shah says. “Higher doses (such as 5,000–10,000 mcg) are commonly sold but haven’t shown additional nail benefits.”

Spearman agrees, saying the recommended dose is 2.5 mg, and that’s what she suggests to anyone who’s wanting to take it for nail-health purposes. “This is a healthy amount to rebuild the strength of finger and toe nails,” she says.

As for how often to take biotin, both experts say once a day is enough. “
Because fingernails grow slowly, results take time to appear,” Shah says. “Most studies found improvements after 2–3 months for early changes and 3–6 months for more noticeable improvement. If there has been no benefit after about six months, it’s reasonable to reconsider whether it’s helping.”

Downsides & Drawbacks

The experts say biotin is generally considered safe, because it’s water-soluble and serious side effects are uncommon. “However, there are some important drawbacks,” Shah says. “The biggest concern is laboratory test interference. High-dose biotin can interfere with many blood tests, including tests for thyroid disease, myocardial infarction, certain hormone tests, some vitamin and other laboratory assays. This can lead to falsely high or falsely low results depending on the test, which has occasionally contributed to missed or delayed diagnoses.”

That’s why it’s critical to tell your healthcare providers you’re taking biotin supplements before having any blood work done. “Many clinicians recommend stopping biotin for at least 48–72 hours before laboratory testing, though some specialized tests may require a longer washout period depending on the dose and the assay,” Shah says. “Other reported potential adverse effects include mild stomach upset or acne-like breakouts. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should discuss high-dose supplements with their clinician, even though biotin requirements are slightly higher during pregnancy.”

Spearman adds that excessive biotin intake can cause side effects such as skin discomfort, trouble with sleep, nausea, and, interestingly, excessive doses can contribute to hair loss.” The best way to avoid these side effects is by sticking to the recommended daily dosage.

5 More Ways to Strengthen Nails

The experts say biotin isn’t the only way to strengthen the nails and keep them healthy. You should also:

• Moisturize your nails (hand creams and cuticle oils can help)
• Use a nail strengthener as needed
• Avoid harsh chemicals and salon processes
• Avoid repeated wet-dry cycling (“Wet-dry cycles weaken nails,” Shah says. “Wearing gloves for dishwashing or cleaning can help.”)
• Eat protein (“Since nails are made primarily of keratin, inadequate protein intake can contribute to weak nails,” Shah says.)

The Best Biotin Supplements for Nail Health

Back in 2006, what combination was more prevalent among L.A. It girls than Ugg boots and a Chanel bag? I’ll wait. We saw them worn together with low-rise bootcut jeans and crop tops or rolled over sweatpants or sweatshorts with a shrunken zip-up hoodie. But it’s been years since I saw anyone properly wear the combo, let alone do so in a way that feels fresh and modern. Fortunately, that drought is over. Kaia Gerber just did the job, and suddenly I’m checking my credit card limit to see if a $9,300 charge would trigger any warning from American Express. Sorry, but to recreate Gerber’s outfit, the limit does not exist.

Back to Gerber’s look, though, because its success is in the details. For a casual round of errands around L.A., the model and actress chose an easy, low-effort ensemble that included a cropped black cardigan and matching pair of low-slung cashmere lounge pants by the brand All My Love. (They’re called the Kayla Pants, cost $278, and feature an elastic waistband, faux buttons on the front, and an extremely lightweight fabrication that allows them to be worn year-round—I need them.) From there, she added a pair of what I believe are vintage Chanel sunglasses and sand-colored Ugg Ultra Mini Classics, which, together, gave the look a vintage, early-aughts feel. Her Chanel by Matthieu Blazy shoulder bag, with its rich burgundy coloring, minimal branding, and oversized silhouette, brought the outfit right back to 2026. Everything just clicked.

Basically, Gerber just served us the perfect errands outfit for those days when trying isn’t an option but you still want to look presentable and cool, whether it’s summer in L.A. or winter in New York City. Just pull your Ugg boots out, pair them with a low-rise pair of sweats and a shrunken cardigan—in black, of course—and add a Chanel bag if you can, preferably one by Blazy. If that’s not an option right now, don’t fret. There are plenty of elevated burgundy bags below that will get the job done just as well.

Before anything else, I’m a jeans person, meaning there’s some form of denim in my outfit at least five days a week. Whilst denim itself is the constant, the wash, silhouette and styling details shift with the seasons, and right now, I’m reaching for cropped jeans more than any other.

Sleek and polished, ankle-grazing jeans have become my summer go-to. And the shoe trend I’ve found complements them best? French women’s favourite ballet flats.

Comfortable and considered but not fussy or overstyled, this pairing embodies the effortless approach to dressing that French women do so well.

By revealing just a sliver of ankle, cropped jeans bring a lightness to denim that feels particularly well-suited to summer. Meanwhile, ballet flats offer all the polish of a smarter shoe whilst remaining just as comfortable as your favourite trainers. They’re also an elegant alternative to sandals, making them ideal for days when you want a little more coverage.

There’s a reason the chicest French women continue to return to this combination year after year. Scroll on to shop the best cropped jeans and ballet flats to recreate the look for yourself.
