The Celebrity-Approved Guide to Summer Trends

Reported by Vogue.

Summer has officially clocked in, and celebrities are already doing the heavy lifting on trend-setting. According to Vogue, a handful of breakout looks have emerged from the past few weeks of A-list sightings — and they range from the reassuringly simple to the delightfully unhinged. Here's what's actually worth paying attention to.

The flip-flop is having its redemption arc. Jennifer Lawrence and Bad Bunny have both been spotted in sleek thong sandals styled far beyond the pool deck — think denim and hoodies, or breezy floral dresses. The effect is effortless in the best possible way. Meanwhile, the white straight-leg jean has quietly shed its "coastal grandma" reputation: Kendall Jenner wore hers with a black tee and a shoulder-slung sweater; Daisy Edgar-Jones punched hers up with a lightweight red knit. Classic, easy, and apparently timeless enough to survive decades of fashion discourse.

The Statement Pieces Worth Committing To

The silk slip — very '90s, very never-actually-gone — is back in full force. Vittoria Ceretti, Suki Waterhouse, and Katie Holmes have all leaned into cream and white iterations, while Jennifer Lopez styled a silky skirt with a barely-there knit cardigan. It's the kind of look that reads as thrown-together but requires a specific level of taste to pull off. And then there's the leopard bag: the runaway it-accessory of the season. The trend traces directly back to Matthieu Blazy's Chanel runway, and Harry Styles, Eyo Edebiri, and Sarah Pidgeon have all been spotted carrying animal-print styles. The formula is simple — jeans, a tee, one feral bag — and it works every time.

Florals round out the season's dominant mood, but the interesting ones aren't your garden-variety ditsy prints. Taylor Swift went full prairie in an off-the-shoulder floral dress, while Bella Hadid appeared at Cannes in a chiffon wrap-tied floral top paired with white jeans — doubling down on two trends at once, as one does when they are Bella Hadid.

Summer is barely underway, which means the best is almost certainly still coming — but if you're building your warm-weather wardrobe right now, these five directions give you more than enough to work with.
