The 15 Best Spring Fashion Finds on Amazon Right Now
Just like the ELLE team, Amazon tapped into what's happening on the runway, 'we think the era of quiet luxury might be fading a bit—people are leaning into glam again,' Jenny Freshwater, Amazon's Vice President of Fashion and Fitness, tells us exclusively. Amazon's stores are stocked up on all the fun seasonal trends, from leopard to plaid. 'There's also a countryside, romantic feel coming back: chiffon and ultra-feminine pieces.' Freshwater says. 'I think we'll see a grown-up take on boho this spring, too.'
In addition to all of the trend-forward pieces from favorite brands, including Coach, Michael Kors, Ronny Kobo, and kate spade new york, shoppers can browse classic styles from Ray-Bans, New Balance, Lacoste, and Sweaty Betty. With hundreds of thousands of fashion items available in its stores, Amazon has made browsing the website so much easier, especially with the launch of several AI-enhanced features.
'Rufus is our AI shopping assistant that helps you shop in a conversational way,' Freshwater shares. 'It's great for narrowing down Amazon's vast selection and getting expert-like recommendations.' We tested it out to help us zero in on one of spring's biggest trends: pastel accessories. The results led to this ice blue Coach Brooklyn bag. With Amazon's View in 3D feature, we were able to scroll, pinch, zoom, and rotate the bag to see all angles.
The chat feature isn't just limited to fashion finds either—it can be used across the board. 'I used Rufus to plan my daughter's spa-themed birthday party,' Freshwater says. 'I just typed in '12-year-old spa birthday,' and it helped me find the perfect headbands, wristbands, and masks.'
In a constant quest to make online shopping easier, Amazon has debuted a number of features to its site that help you know how an item will look when worn, as well as what size and fit will work best. Freshwater adds: 'We work closely with brands, utilizing technology to create experiences such as View in 3D and AR/VTO, so that customers can explore products through engaging and interactive experiences, helping inform purchasing decisions so they can shop with confidence.'
Personalized Size Recommendations and Fit Review Highlights help you know how a style fits and which size might work best for you, while Virtual Try-On, available for select styles, brings an in-store like experience to your mobile device. 'One of the biggest challenges with online fashion is knowing how something will fit or look on you,' Freshwater explains. 'With See It On Your Model, you can choose from real models with different sizes, skin tones, and hair colors—from XS to 4XL—and see how a product looks on someone like you.'
The way it works is simple: Available in the Amazon Shopping app and mobile browser, just click on the 'Change Model' button in the lower right-hand corner of the product image, and a gallery of up to 40 real models to choose from will pop up. Pick the one that you'd like to see the item on and—voilà—your pick replaces the original model. Powered by GenAI technology, this interactive feature simulates how clothing looks on real models of all sizes (XS to 4XL), showing shoppers how garments will appear on different body types. 'We're seeing lower return rates with tools like See It On Your Model, because customers can better visualize the fit and look before buying,' Freshwater says. 'That's a win for them and for us.'

5 top new movies to stream this week on Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu and more (July 29-Aug. 4)
This week offers plenty of new movie options across the best streaming services, from a post-apocalyptic zombie thriller to a romantic drama set at a storied English university. Whatever sort of movie you're in the mood for, there's likely a newcomer to suit your tastes. '28 Years Later' on PVOD platforms headlines the next seven days, but HBO Max subscribers will be eager to enjoy the blood-soaked thrills of 'Final Destination Bloodlines' while over on Netflix, get your tissues out, because 'My Oxford Year' looks like a tearjerker. Looking to watch something fresh? These are the top new movies landing across streaming services over the next few days. And if you want to binge-watch, here's a guide to all the best new TV shows this week. The old saying goes, 'Time heals all,' but in Danny Boyle's apocalyptic zombie-infested Britain, that's not the case. This long-awaited second sequel to '28 Days Later' takes place almost three decades after the Rage Virus turned the U.K. into a quarantine island cut off from the rest of the world, and things have not improved in the time since Cillian Murphy's Jim was wandering around a devastated London. If anything, the situation has only gotten worse. On a remote, well-fortified island just off the mainland, Jamie (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) lives with his son Spike (Alfie Williams) and ill wife Isla (Jodie Comer). Taking his son on a rite-of-passage trip to the zombie-plagued mainland, Jamie and Spike discover the infected have mutated to become even deader, and that there are additional threats to consider. Also starring Ralph Fiennes and Jack O'Connell, '28 Years Later' successfully recaptures the spirit and visual style of the 2002 original and, aside from a tonally confused ending, is an extremely compelling watch. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Plus, it features more than a few references to my beloved Newcastle Utd soccer team and is set in North East England (which happens to be my birthplace), which makes it an instant must-watch in my books. Buy or rent on Amazon from July 29 Mike Flanagan has developed a reputation as a horror master after directing movies like 'Oculus," "Gerald's Game" and 'Doctor Sleep,' alongside helming chilling Netflix shows 'The Haunting of Hill House' and 'Midnight Mass." However, he trades his usual spooky approach for something a little more heartwarming with 'The Life of Chuck.' This fantasy drama has been described as 'life-affirming' and has even been mooted as a potential awards contender in the upcoming season. Based on the novella of the same name by Stephen King, it marks the third time Flanagan has adapted one of the legendary author's works for the big screen, and stars Tom Hiddleston as the eponymous Charles 'Chuck' Krantz. The movie is told in reverse chronological order as we follow Chunk from his adulthood through to his younger years as he experiences all the ordinary things that make life truly extraordinary. The well-received movie also stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan, Jacob Tremblay and Mark Hamill. Buy or rent on Amazon from July 29 'Final Destination Bloodlines' marks the return of the long-running horror franchise, and it's an excellent revival. I'd argue it ranks among the very best of 'Final Destination' movies ever, keeping the classic formula intact but with new twists that only add to the blood-soaking mayhem. Following the series' longest premonition scene to date, we flash forward more than 50 years and meet Stefani (Kaitlyn Santa Juana), a college student haunted by a grisly vision of a skytower collapsing in the 1960s. Soon enough, death begins stalking Stefani and her family, and the secret to survival might just be locked in her grandmother's past. The overly complicated death sequences have always been the main appeal of the 'Final Destination' franchise, and 'Bloodlines' packs some of the most darkly funny ones to date. And while it doesn't completely reinvent the wheel, it does take a few risks that all play off very well. It also marks the final on-screen appearance of franchise mainstay Tony Todd, who delivers a memorable last performance that might just have you shedding a tear or two. Watch on HBO Max from August 1 If you're looking for a gooey romantic comedy-drama in the vein of 'The Life List,' then Netflix has you covered this week with 'My Oxford Year.' Yes, the release timing is a little odd — a romance tale set in rainy England feels perfect for the fall — but still, I have no doubts this movie will prove popular with Netflix subscribers, even if critics might tear it to shreds. Based on the novel of the same name by Julia Whelan, it centers on Anna De La Vega (Sofia Carson), an American student who fulfills her lifelong dream of studying at England's prestigious (and pretentious) Oxford University. By all accounts, her life is going exactly to plan, but her carefully-considered plan is thrown into turmoil when she meets a very charming British boy (Corey Mylchreest) and sparks fly. Guaranteed to be full of sappy dialogue and overly dramatic musings about seizing the moment while you can, 'My Oxford Year' clearly knows its audience and plays to it. Watch on Netflix from August 1 Hulu's big addition this week is a historical action epic that tells the story of William Tell, a Swiss folk hero, who was an important player in the country's attempts to fight against Austrian invaders in the 14th century. Directed by Nick Hamm and starring Claes Bang in the titular role, this cinematic spin on the legend opens with Tell, a former soldier in the Crusades, living as a huntsman. When the Austrian Empire marches into his country, he refuses to bend the knee and instead becomes part of a revolution that seeks to push back against these foreign oppressors. Also starring Connor Swindells, Golshifteh Farahani, Rafe Spall, Jonathan Pryce and Ben Kingsley, on the surface 'William Tell' looks like it has all the ingredients to be a 'Braveheart' for a new generation. Unfortunately, its critical reception was anything but epic. With a lengthy 134-minute runtime, 'William Tell' might only be one for genre obsessives. Watch on Hulu from August 1
