Anne Hathaway's denim jumpsuit and chunky sandals is a lesson in smart casual summer dressing

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. When news broke last week that filming for The Devil Wears Prada 2 had started, fashion fans around the world rejoiced at the news. The first sightings of Anne Hathaway in character as Andy Sachs saw the actress wearing an incredible Mondrian-inspired maxi dress by Gabriela Hearst and it was just the beginning. Hathaway's latest look taps straight into the denim trends 2025 with a cool, retro-inspired jumpsuit. The laidback style featured a relaxed cut with a slightly fitted waist and was complemented with a selection of vintage patches across the chest. Drawing the eye upwards to the stylish zipper detail on both the pockets and front of the jumpsuit. If you're wondering how to style a jumpsuit, this denim version couldn't make it easier to look cool. We love how Molly Rogers (Costume Designer for The Devil Wears Prada 2) has added one of the best designer handbags from Valentino and a pair of lust-worthy chunky Chanel Dad sandals to this cool look - we'll be filing this under future smart casual outfit ideas. JUMP TO IT It's official - jumpsuits are having a moment (again), appearing as one of the key spring/summer fashion trends 2025. This utilitarian-inspired style was seen on the catwalks at the likes of Saint Laurent and Fendi in a variety of guises, but our favourite version has to be denim. The cool all-in-one look is super easy to dress up or down; for a quick date night outfit, lower the zipper, add a chunky gold necklace, and wear with heels for a chic yet relaxed outfit. Heading to brunch or a picnic in the park? Take inspiration from Anne Hathaway's look and roll up the cuffs on the trouser legs ever so slightly to show off your favourite pair of chunky sandals. Shop the look In a vintage-inspired mid-wash blue, this denim jumpsuit from Boden has a cool retro look. For a dressed up look, swap the tie waist belt for a fitted leather style to cinch your waist. $199 / £139 at Boden The lighter denim wash of this style makes it one of the best jumpsuits for summer days. Team with affordable jewellery in gold and tan accessories for a stylish holiday look. $59.99 / £44.99 at H&M You can always trust River Island to give a jumpsuit a sexy spin - this fitted style with flared legs has a 70s bohemian-inspired look, perfect for nights out.

They're made from soft black leather and finished with gold hardware. $328 / £227.29 at Nordstrom This cool black leather handbag is really two styles in one - add the shoulder strap for the ideal everyday bag or use the two shorter handles for a playful day-to-night update. $287 / £209 at Mi Bolsa London When it comes to the sunglasses trends 2025, it doesn't get cooler than a pair of timeless cat's eye sunglasses from Celine. This oversized frame has a stylish, contemporary twist. $440 / £400 at Net A Porter If you're looking to update your summer capsule wardrobe, make sure to add a denim jumpsuit to your outfit roster. We love how this low-key denim piece can be dressed up and down and Andy Sach's outfit is the perfect example. The cool, utilitarian look features a high-low blend of everyday denim combined with quiet luxury accessories from some of our favourite French fashion brands - pieces from both Chanel and Celine are featured, as well as a gorgeous designer Valentino handbag. But even if you don't have the money for designer accessories, you can still make this chic denim style work for you. When styling your denim jumpsuit, keep accessories simple and elevated. Opting for subtle and understated bags and shoes will help your outfit look expensive, regardless of the budget. Just like other fashion fans out there, we can't wait to see what our The Devil Wears Prada 2 heroine is spotted wearing next, one thing is for sure, though, this film sequel is certainly going to influence styling and fashion into 2026.

‘If Not Winter' by Wisp Review: A ‘Nu-Gaze' on a Familiar Genre

An oft-repeated bit of rock lore holds that in the years leading up to the 1991 release of My Bloody Valentine's magnum opus, 'Loveless,' the Irish-English rock band spent so much money it nearly bankrupted its label. The group's leader, Kevin Shields, was striving to perfect a highly specific style of dense and beautiful guitar-based music—the media called it 'shoegaze,' a style that combined guitars saturated with distortion and buried-yet-pretty vocals—which led to endless tinkering in expensive studios. In those days, finding a way for your record to reflect the precise sound you had in your mind could cost a great deal. In 2023, Natalie Lu of San Francisco, then 18 years old, encountered on YouTube a noisy and ethereal instrumental in the shoegaze vein created by a producer going by the name Grayskies. Inspired by what she heard, she wrote and recorded a vocal melody and lyrics that fit the chord structure, mixed the two tracks, called the song 'Your Face,' and uploaded it to TikTok and SoundCloud. Her song, which cost almost nothing to record, drew an audience, and before long it became a massive viral hit. She called her project Wisp, signed with Interscope, and issued an EP last year. Her debut album for the imprint, 'If Not Winter,' out Friday, is both a solid entry in the Gen Z-led update of the sound of shoegaze and an intriguing case study of how music circulates through culture.

Is Monday Morning Officially Tyler, The Creator Time Following the No. 1 Debut of ‘Don't Tap the Glass'?

For the second straight year, Tyler, The Creator debuts atop the Billboard 200 with a new album — and for the second straight year, he does it with just over half a week of consumption to his credit. With just a couple days' notice, Tyler released new set Don't Tap the Glass the morning of July 21 — a Monday, already three-plus days into the Friday-starting tracking week — about nine months after dropping Chromakopia at the same time of the week. And like Chromakopia, which bowed at No. 1 with 299,000 first-week units (according to Luminate), Glass also debuts at No. 1, albeit with fewer units moved (197,000). More from Billboard Jonas Brothers Address Whether They Still Feel 'Guilt' Over 2013 Breakup: 'It Needed to Happen' Billie Eilish Says Irish Fans Make Her Feel 'So Seen' in Dublin Everclear Celebrate 'Sparkle and Fade' With Full Album Tour Down Under Has Tyler's Monday-release strategy been validated by the back-to-back No. 1s? And will this be his first year ranking among the country's top tier of pop stars? Billboard staffers answer these questions and more below. at No. 1 with 197,000 first-week units. Is that number lower, higher or about what you would've expected for the album's bow? Mackenzie Cummings-Grady For only four days worth of numbers, that number is very high. It's right in line with what I would think a Tyler release would do at this point. His fans have become unbelievably rabid and cult-like, and will devour anything he drops regardless of what day of the week it is. Kyle Denis: This is about what I expected. I was hoping it would be able to inch past the 200,000-unit mark, but it's hard to be unhappy with 197,000 units in just four days of tracking. Angel Diaz: That number is very impressive being that it really didn't have a rollout and Chromakopia dropped less than a year ago. I think this leaves no doubt that Tyler is not only one of the biggest rappers out, but also one of music's biggest acts. He deserves to be mentioned with the likes of Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Drake, Kendrick, etc. He has the numbers to back it up. Jason Lipshutz: Higher. Even with the understanding that Tyler is unquestionably an A-list star in popular music, earning a nearly 200k first-week bow with a surprise album, in a shortened chart week, less than a year after his last album, represents an over-the-top success. Last year, Chromakopia represented a smash — and one of Tyler's strongest front-to-back listens to date — so to come up with another of those so quickly highlights just how scorching Tyler's current hot streak is at this point. Andrew Unterberger: Maybe a little lower, just because that Chromakopia number is a full 100k higher. But then again, 197k is still more than Justin Bieber was able to do with a surprise drop in a full week — which is pretty damn crazy to think about when you zoom out on it. 2. Between this and 2024's , it's been two straight early-Monday album releases for Tyler, The Creator. Do you think the responses to the two albums so far justifies this unconventional release strategy for him? Mackenzie Cummings-Grady: Absolutely. It also just shows the power of his fanbase. His supporters are following him specifically as an entity, rather than just routinely checking in for new music every Friday. The fans follow Tyler's every move, and with listeners that dedicated it's clear Tyler can keep dropping whatever he wants whenever he wants. Kyle Denis: Undoubtedly. For two LPs in a row, Tyler has charted the entire tracklist on the Hot 100, pulled in over 100,000 pure sales first-week, and over 90 million opening week on-demand official streams. Already an A-tier music star, Tyler's mid-week releases have allowed him to truly create a spectacle out of his albums that dominates the cultural conversation for the following week and weekend. The tracking week may be shorter, but each album's time in the zeitgeist lasts a bit longer than the timeframe a traditional Friday release might have yielded. Angel Diaz: I definitely think the response justifies this strategy. Now, as a rap writer, I'm not sure which approach I prefer because we have to come up with knee-jerk reactions whether he drops on a Friday or on a Monday. I do appreciate only having to listen to one project on a release day, though. I would like these surprise albums to drop with all the feature and production credits ready to go too, so that we're not playing guessing games as we try to write about them. Jason Lipshutz: The Monday release strategy is a curious one for a major artist like Tyler, who could have collected much bigger first-week debuts with a standard Friday drop but instead prioritized issuing his albums on a day of the week with zero other competition. The buzz that both Chromakopia and Don't Tap the Glass generated upon their respective releases makes up for the missed first-week album units, though: this strategy underlines the fact that Tyler cares less about streaming metrics and more about creating an authentic moment for listeners, an anti-commercial artistic philosophy that has surely been compelling for fans. Andrew Unterberger: Basically. But selfishly, I would like to see him go back to the Friday release on his next one — maybe even with a little more of a promo rollout — just because I want to see what kind of full-first-week number Tyler can pull at his absolute commercial peak. 3. Largely due to the album's mid-week release, the album only charts one song in the Hot 100's top 40 ('Big Poe' at No. 33), but launches all 10 tracks onto the Hot 100. Do you see any of them becoming breakout hits from the set, or is it too much about the full album for one track to stand out like that? Mackenzie Cummings-Grady: I see 'Big Poe' and 'Sugar On My Tongue' branching out a little bit just because of how infectious they are, but at this point I consider Tyler to be an album guy. His fans come for the full experience of his projects, rather than just for a hit song here and there. Kyle Denis: I think 'Ring Ring Ring' probably emerges as the breakout hit from the set. It's dance-forward, has legitimate potential for a top 40 radio breakthrough and features a timeless interpolation of Cherrelle & Alexander O'Neal's 'Saturday Love.' I'd also keep an eye on 'I'll Take Care of You.' Angel Diaz: I'd put my money on 'Stop Playing With Me' and 'Don't You Worry Baby' featuring Madison McFerrin as the breakout hits when the dust settles. However, a 10-track album that clocks in at just under 30 minutes makes it easy for the listeners to press play and let it ride. In a couple years kids are going to hear their parents hit play on 'Big Poe' on a Saturday morning and they're gonna know it's time to clean the house. Jason Lipshutz: 'Sugar On My Tongue' functions like no other Tyler, The Creator tracks that had preceded it, a dance-funk fantasia with more bounce than something like 'EARFQUAKE' and a more propulsive tempo than anything on Chromakopia. This summer has sorely needed a smash hit like 'Sugar On My Tongue,' and I'm guessing it helps highlight the back half of the season on the charts. Andrew Unterberger: I'll say 'Stop Playing With Me' just because it's the one that already has a (great) music video. But honestly, 'breakout hit' is always sorta relative with Tyler, and I think doubly so on this surprise 10-track release. I doubt we'll know what the true fan favorite from the set is until we see which song is unexpectedly still appearing on the Spotify daily charts two years from now. 4. Tyler has never dropped albums in back-to-back years before, nor had a release with such a short rollout. Do you think that means the album will ultimately be considered more of a detour/side project for him, or will it ultimately be viewed on the same tier as his highly acclaimed last few sets? Mackenzie Cummings-Grady: It feels more like a side project, and with Tyler telling us prior to its release to keep our expectations in check, it's safe to say he feels the same way. Whether it goes on to be as highly acclaimed as his other efforts, only time will tell. Kyle Denis: I think it depends on how he continues to roll the album out. If the Los Angeles no-phones listening party, the New York City pop-up and the album's striking imagery are anything to go by, it's more likely than not that Don't Tap the Glass ends up as respected as any studio LP from Tyler. Angel Diaz: At first, I felt like this would be a side thing for him, but given the overwhelming positive reaction it's gotten, I can see some folks holding this tape in high regard because it features some of his best production to date. It's also a lot more fun than Chromakopia. Jason Lipshutz: While Don't Tap the Glass stands apart from Chromakopia sonically, it's hard to separate the two projects right now — especially considering that Tyler is still touring arenas behind Chromakopia. I think that will change over time, though: this is not a Kid A/Amnesiac situation, where a quick follow-up to an album is clearly composed of material from the same studio sessions, and thus tethered loosely together forever. In a few years, these two albums will sound different enough — and represent different sides of Tyler's artistry — that they won't be linked together by their release-date proximity. Andrew Unterberger: When it comes to end-of-decade or all-time lists that only have one or two spots max available for Tyler albums, I doubt Glass will be one that they go with. But I do think fans will certainly cherish it — it's just so much fun, so unlike any other release in the rap great's catalog, and such a fantastic showcase of him at the peak of his powers. Most importantly, it just keeps his winning streak going, and the one he's on currently can only be rivaled by a handful of artists in all of popular music. 5. Though he's been an honorable mention in 2021 and 2024, Tyler, The Creator has yet to finish in our Greatest Pop Stars year-end top 10. Should he make the list for the first time this year, or does he still have more to prove? Mackenzie Cummings-Grady: He should definitely make the list. At this point Tyler deserves all the accolades. His power in mainstream music is undeniable. Kyle Denis: Between Chromakopia's success bleeding into 2025, his massive tour in support of that album and now this new phenomenon of Don't Tap the Glass, I'd say his case damn near solidified. Angel Diaz: I would like to see the list if Tyler isn't top 10 this year, so I can boo it. He's already one of the biggest rap stars in the world, so that automatically makes him one of the biggest pop stars. He writes his own songs, makes his own beats, makes his own clothes, and always has something to say. He should easily be in the conversation in 2025. Jason Lipshutz: Definitely. Two big albums (with 2024's Chromakopia carrying hits into 2025), a major tour, significant festival headlining slots and buzz worthy pop-culture moments, with still five months to go? I'd be shocked if he doesn't crash his first top 10. Andrew Unterberger: It's gonna take a hell of an end to the pop year for this to even be in question.
