Inside Kylie Jenner's Seductive New Swimwear Collection With Frankies Bikinis
Kylie Jenner set the internet ablaze earlier this summer when she shared the details of her boob job on TikTok. 'Now I'm one step closer to getting Kylie's body,' we all joked. But today, I come bearing great news. As it turns out, you don't have to go under the knife to get her buxom look, because Jenner is teaming up with Frankies Bikinis to bring back the push-up bra in bikini form.
Today, Khy (Jenner's fashion brand) and Frankies Bikinis announced their upcoming collaboration—and they gave yours truly the exclusive. 'I've been wearing [Frankies Bikinis] pieces for years, and always found the styles so flattering and comfortable,' Jenner tells ELLE.com via email. 'When it came to [Khy's] first swim collaboration, teaming up with Francesca and Frankies Bikinis felt like the perfect fit.'
Francesca Aiello, who launched Frankies Bikinis alongside her mom in 2012, echoed that. 'I've admired Khy since the moment it launched,' she said. 'Kylie has created something truly beautiful and intentional.' It was a match made in swimwear heaven, with both social media darlings saying it felt natural to work together—'like two girls dreaming up their perfect swim drawer,' Aiello said in a press release. (For those keeping track, Frankies Bikinis dropped a collab with Bella Hadid earlier this year, too.)
The collection introduces Cloud Cups—Jenner and Aiello's re-imagination of the padded push-up top. 'Francesca and I were inspired by the classic elegance of vintage lingerie and the confident vibe of bombshell swimwear,' Jenner said. Aiello, who suspects the imminent return of push-ups, adds, 'It's not about being overly sexy, but about creating silhouettes that make you feel confident and lifted.'
How would I describe the pieces? Seductive. And fit for the next season of Love Island, which by the way, Jenner is obsessed with. (You two have something in common!) There are polka dots, lace trim, leopard print, and satin across six bikini top styles and four bottom silhouettes. 'I feel like this collection is the perfect mix of sweet and sexy,' Jenner says. And for your time spent on land, the line also includes limited-edition minidresses and coordinating separates. 'The variety of prints and silhouettes allows you to try different aesthetics, like the playful polka dots or the more romantic leopard and lace. Summer is such a fun time to express yourself through style, and to embrace your inner sexiness and confidence,' says Jenner.
And speaking of confidence, where the heck can I get some? I asked the two for their best big-sister advice on the topic. 'Choose pieces that truly make you feel good,' Jenner suggests. 'I think that when you feel comfortable and supported, your confidence shines through.' Follow this tip and, according to Aiello, 'you'll honestly radiate. When you feel good in what you're wearing, that confidence naturally becomes the sexiest part.'
Because I was raised on original YouTube influencers, I somehow find a way to ask for a 'what's in my bag' by the end of nearly every interview. This time, at least, it made sense. In Kylie's beach tote, you'll find sunglasses, a digital camera, headphones, sunscreen, and Kylie Cosmetics' Lip Butter. And in Aiello's: EltaMD SPF, a hairbrush with coconut oil, Rhode face mist, chapstick with SPF, and finally, 'I always bring a big Hydro Flask filled with hibiscus iced tea and honey.' So refreshing!
Frankies Bikinis x Khy will be available online on July 16 at noon EST. Sizes range from XXS to 2XL, and prices vary between $85-195.

'The Summer I Turned Pretty': Lola Tung Is Ready For What Comes After Summer
Tyler Joe All clothing, accessories, and fine jewellery, Chanel. It's sweltering hot in the sun-drenched, top-floor café on the Lower East Side that Lola Tung is using as her makeshift dressing room. The electric fans do little to battle the July humidity, and the bottled water for the crew has gone lukewarm. The actress feels the heat, too, as she changes from one Chanel look into another for her ELLE photo shoot, but she powers through. After all, she thrives in the summer. At 22 years old, Tung is the star of Prime Video's The Summer I Turned Pretty , the wildly popular TV show based on Jenny Han's bestselling book series of the same name. The television adaptation debuted in 2022 and introduced her as protagonist Isabel 'Belly' Conklin, a teenager caught in a love triangle between two of her longtime family friends: Conrad Fisher (Christopher Briney) and his younger brother, Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno). With a literary fan base, a cast of good-looking newcomers, a soundtrack filled with Taylor Swift songs, and a love triangle that could rival Team Edward vs. Team Jacob, TSITP had all the makings of a pop culture sensation. And sure enough, it shot to the No. 1 slot on the streamer when it first premiered, even bringing a resurgence in popularity for Han's books and, as if she could get any bigger, Swift's own music catalogue. Tung, who was born and raised in New York and attended the famous LaGuardia School of Performing Arts, was a freshman at Carnegie Mellon when she was cast as Belly—her first on-screen role ever. Since then, she has skyrocketed to It-girl status with the wardrobe and followers (4 million on Instagram, but who's counting?) to match. 'When we were filming the show, people were like, 'Your lives are going to change,' and we were all like, "I don't know what you're talking about,"' she says later over Zoom, reflecting on earlier seasons with the cast. 'It's really wonderful to know that there are people who love the show so much and that your work means something to [them].' As evidenced by social media posts from fans, the viewers aren't just the YA demographic, but also women in their 20s and older, even moms who watch the series with their kids. (Belly's mother, Laurel, played by Jackie Chung, also has her own arc in the series.) There's just something universally irresistible about a summer coming-of-age romance set on the beach. The world couldn't help but dive in. Three years later, TSITP is back for its third and final season. As viewers lock in for one last vacation at Cousins Beach, Tung is saying a bittersweet goodbye to her breakout role and looking ahead to what's next. 'I've loved getting to play [Belly] for so long. It's kind of like graduating,' she says. 'I'm excited to show a different part of myself—and even have people see me in a different world.' Until then, fans are savoring every last episode of TSITP we have left. Tyler Joe If you had heard the screams coming out of Bryant Park last Wednesday night, you would have thought there was a live concert taking place. In reality, it was a premiere screening of The Summer I Turned Pretty season 3. Crowds gathered on the grass with blankets, snacks, and friends in tow, cheering when the cast made an appearance and gasping along at each plot twist. 'I've never experienced that ever in my life,' Tung recalls. 'There were just so many people.' Viewers had a lot to chew on in these new episodes : Belly is now a junior in college and four years deep into a relationship with Jeremiah. However, things don't really seem to be settled between her and Conrad, even after they broke up years ago at prom. She and Jeremiah face an obstacle in season 3, episode 1, when Belly learns that he slept with another girl during a spring break trip to Cabo—twice! The circumstances of the hookup are murky; in classic Ross and Rachel fashion, Jeremiah thought he and Belly had broken up during an argument before the trip, whereas Belly believed they were still together. A dramatic series of events follows: Belly and Jeremiah fight at a frat party. She slaps him. He tries to win her back. Belly's brother, Steven, gets into a car accident and suffers a possible brain injury. After Steven wakes up safely from his coma, Jeremiah apologizes to Belly profusely at the hospital, and then proposes to her. She says yes. 'Young love is intense,' Tung says during another call days after the premiere. While fans and haters alike might classify this intensity as chaos, she walks me through how Belly is handling all of the ups and downs. First, the fight with Jeremiah: 'I think it's just pure shock for Belly,' Tung says of her character's headspace. 'This is someone who's been her rock for so many years and who she's known her entire life. It can be heartbreaking when you feel like you don't know everything [about someone].' It kind of leads Belly to wonder, What else don't I know about you? Tyler Joe She and Casalegno rehearsed the emotional scene prior to filming. 'It was important to have a level of trust in each other, especially with the slap,' Tung recalls. 'Poor Gavin, he was like, "Yeah, you can slap me." I was like, "Are you sure? Please, I don't want to hurt you!"' Ultimately, they filmed the slap in just a couple of takes. 'I was not about to slap him 50 times otherwise. For some of the angles, I would just kind of wave my hand…I'm used to the stage slap,' she says. Now, onto Jeremiah's alleged infidelity: 'No matter whether you think that he cheated or not, it's wrong,' Tung says diplomatically, pointing to how Jeremiah rebounded with another girl shortly after the presumed split, and then hid it from Belly. 'I personally don't think they were on a break or broken up, because that argument was so quick and everything happened so fast.' However, 'Belly is not completely blameless,' she continues. 'She didn't reach out either. There is a little bit more of a mess in her own head.' 'Young love is intense.' So, how does Belly go from feeling betrayed to getting engaged? She was likely swayed by Steven's near-death experience. 'She's almost lost someone else in her life that's really important to her, and they both experienced a huge loss [Susannah, Jeremiah, and Conrad's mom] years before that—it's still obviously affecting them and their relationship. The thought of losing more people in her life, whether it is Steven or Jeremiah, is just not an option.' She adds, 'Jeremiah is showing up and trying to be there whenever she will let him. I think, in that moment, she's completely overcome with all of these emotions and is in a very vulnerable space. They both are, and they really want to lean on each other, because they do love each other. Even though Jeremiah did mess up, I think when it's put into perspective, it feels so silly compared to literally a life-or-death situation.' Tyler Joe Belly also might also feel a 'little bit of guilt about not mentioning to Jeremiah what happened at Christmas. Even though nothing did happen.' Tung is referring to Belly's own secret: that she spent one Christmas alone at Cousins beach house while she and Jeremiah were dating; except she wasn't really alone. Conrad coincidentally showed up too and stayed over. Nothing romantic or physical happened between the exes, but you can feel there's still something between them. While filming those scenes, Tung and Briney wanted to convey a sense of 'ease' and that Belly and Conrad 'have a certain understanding with each other' as friends. 'It's nice that even after so long, they can sit together and watch a movie, and just exist in the same place without speaking, without having to do anything but just be ,' she says. 'I think those are the most beautiful sort of friendships and relationships.' While a big part of the fandom is still rooting for a Belly and Conrad endgame—I won't spoil how the books end—Tung believes that, at least during that engagement scene, Belly's mind is solely on Jeremiah. 'I don't think she's thinking of Conrad in that moment,' she says. But Belly is aware that she and Conrad will always have an 'unspoken connection.' 'We're human beings. A lot of times, we see what you say, especially if it's mean, and those things stick with us.' And to address the elephant in the room, Belly is also aware of her age. She's 20 when she says yes to Jeremiah, and based on snippets in the season 3 trailer, her mother and older brother are bound to question whether she's ready for such a commitment. 'She knows she's young, but she's also quite stubborn and is making decisions for herself,' Tung says. 'She's like, "I need to do what I need to do for myself to protect myself, and to feel safe, and to feel like I am in control of my story and my life."' While the cast and crew keep further season 3 details close to the vest, Tung cautiously teases that we can look forward to more group dynamics when the Fishers and Conklins reunite in future episodes. 'That will always be complicated, when all of them are together,' she says. Much like Han's To All the Boys I Loved Before trilogy, The Summer I Turned Pretty is fiercely beloved—sometimes to an extreme degree. As viewers debate between Team Conrad and Team Jeremiah with such enthusiasm and fervor, some comments cross the line and directly target the cast or fellow fans themselves. Days before the season 3 premiere, the official TSITP social accounts announced a zero-tolerance policy for bullying, hate speech, harassment, and doxxing. Users who break these rules will be banned. Tung supports the guidelines, saying the criticism 'can be really, really hard, especially with new cast members. It happened last year with Elsie [Fisher, the nonbinary actor who played Jeremiah and Conrad's cousin Skye]. We were all really, really upset about it, and they're so wonderful and was such an incredible addition to our cast and our dynamic. … We're human beings. A lot of times, we see what you say, especially if it's mean, and those things stick with us.' 'A lot of it is so unnecessary, especially when it's not about the characters and it's about the actors,' she continues. 'Ultimately, you don't really know these people.' Tung hopes viewers are 'respectful' to the new season 3 cast members, 'kind' with their discourse, and that they 'appreciate the characters,' even with all their flaws. 'Everyone is working really hard to make sure that the story is the best that it can be for the fans. And we love the fans, because they have given us the opportunity to make three seasons.' Tung, for her personal well-being, tries to stay off social media. 'You just can't really engage [with the comments], because then it feeds the fire a little bit. It sucks. Because people can be mean when they're behind their screens, which, I'm not saying anything new,' she says, ever so politely. On rare occasions, interactions can get uncomfortable in real life, too. Tung remembers a moment when a fan approached her in public and asked to take a picture when she wasn't feeling up for it. 'I was like, "I'm so sorry." I hate saying that, because then you feel guilty. And then he was like, "Well, I already have the camera out." I remember feeling a little like, "Oh, man," like a boundary was broken.' Tung fully understands the passion is coming from a place of 'enthusiasm and a love for the show.' She says, 'I always appreciate when people are super respectful, and just understand human-being boundaries. It can be such a lovely thing, and [I've had] such lovely conversations, and some people really stick with you, and it makes you so happy.' Tyler Joe Thankfully, she's able to find support in her co-stars when it comes to handling the 'really weird, niche things' that come with adjusting to fame and public scrutiny. 'I think we all lean on each other,' Tung says. Han, who is a showrunner and executive producer on the series, has also been a lifeline. 'I've learned so much from Jenny. When I was working on the first season, and figuring out how to navigate the really busy schedule we had, she had a conversation with me—not in an overstepping way, because we're very close—but she was just like, "Hey, maybe start going to therapy." That was one of the most helpful pieces of advice she's ever given me.' Tung adds, 'I was a really emotional kid and teenager, and I still am a really emotional person. I was sometimes afraid of letting people see that emotion and being vulnerable in front of people. That's what this profession is all about, and that's what this show is all about. I'm forever grateful that we get to see that, especially through Belly, and then even through Jeremiah and Conrad…[showing] Conrad in therapy is huge. I think it's such an important thing for young men and boys to see.' 'I was a really emotional kid and teenager, and I still am a really emotional person.' When it comes to showing emotion in the spotlight, Tung actually felt seen by Ariana Grande during the Wicked press tour last fall. 'A lot of people were being very critical of Ariana crying in a bunch of interviews, and I was like, "What are you talking about? This was her dream! It makes me so happy to see her so overcome with emotion."' She adds, 'To see her get so emotional was nice just to see, as an actor and as someone who's in the public eye, because it made me think, Yeah, why not? Why not show that you care about something? ' Tyler Joe The Summer I Turned Pretty was an education for Tung. 'I've learned so much from Belly, and from her boldness, and from watching her take risks,' she says. But she also gleaned a lot from working on a set for the first time, and by observing other actors, directors, and crew members. She also learned how to take care of herself—and recognize when it's time to rest. Those are lessons she'll take with her as she transitions into life post- Summer . Tung has already been dropping hints of what that'll look like. Last year, she made her Broadway debut as Eurydice in Hadestown , a dream role that nourished her inner theater kid. (Legend has it she fell in love with acting after playing the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz back in middle school.) And this past April, she wrapped filming Forbidden Fruits , a women-centric horror film due in 2026 co-starring star Lili Reinhart, Victoria Pedretti, Alexandra Shipp, and Emma Chamberlain. That genre might be a major departure from the sunny beaches of Cousins, but Tung was eager to give it a try. She's recently been watching scary movies like Longlegs , Sinners , The Substance , and Jennifer's Body . 'It was transformative,' Tung says of the latter. (Diablo Cody is also a producer on Forbidden Fruits .) 'I've learned so much from Belly, and from her boldness, and from watching her take risks.' 'I loved getting to sit down with the director [Meredith Alloway] and talk for three hours about the dynamics of female friendships, and what that looks like in a horror setting. ... I love having conversations with all of these incredible women, and seeing them soar,' Tung says. She hopes to do more of that in the future—just like her fellow cool-girl creatives who are collaborating with one another. 'There are so many really cool women right now who are making cool art with their friends, like Ayo Edebiri, Rachel Sennott, and Molly Gordon,' she muses. Tung is excited for what's to come but admits that every new project can be daunting, whether it's adapting a beloved book series for TV or stepping into an entirely new genre. 'That's the wonderful thing about art—it's always a risk, and it's always a little bit scary, but it's so, so worth it.'

Winona Ryder confesses to keeping rotisserie chicken wishbone from Christopher Walken for years
Winona Ryder is happily settled now with boyfriend Scott Mackinlay Hahn, but the actress had a couple of movie star crushes while making her way in the industry. She told Elle U.K. in an interview published Wednesday that Christopher Walken once gave her a store-bought rotisserie chicken, and because she was so enthralled by him at the time, she kept the carcass longer than normal. "I still have the wishbone and am trying to make it into a necklace," she confided. The pair worked together on the 2014 political thriller "Turks & Caicos." While she didn't clarify if her fascination with the "Pulp Fiction" actor was romantic or platonic, she vividly described her former yearning for Al Pacino when she was in her early 20s. "I was absolutely in love with Al Pacino when I was working with him," she said. "We were doing that workshop for 'Richard III,' which I didn't know was gonna be a movie. I was actively in love with him." The "Beetlejuice" actress said the "Scarface" actor loved coffee and would take her around New York City to try different brews. "I'm 22, or whatever," she continued. "Finally, he's dropping me off wherever I'm staying, and I'm like, 'I love you, you know. I really am completely in love with you.'' And he was like: 'Aw, honey, noooo.'" The pair still made "Looking for Richard" about the British monarch in 1996. She laughed that 10 years later she met Pacino's girlfriend "who's younger than me." Pacino, 85, is more than 30 years older than Ryder, 53. "'Dude, I'm f------ throwing myself at you,'" she said. "I still play poker with him sometimes. It's the best." "I still have the wishbone and am trying to make it into a necklace." Ryder met her current love at the premiere of "Black Swan" in 2010, and he mistook her for actress Milla Jovovich. "I thought it was the most charming thing in the world," she said, explaining that she found him later and once again didn't beat around the bush. "I was very direct. I was like, 'Listen, do you want to go on a date?'" she explained. Ryder told Elle she already thinks of Hahn as her husband, but they are planning to get married soon. Hahn is also the cook in the relationship. "He has this gift that my mom had, which is making healthy food delicious," she revealed. "He made a curry last night that was better than any curry I've ever had."

Yes, You Need a White Dress—These Are the Ones That Actually Matter
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. There's a scene from the movie Under the Tuscan Sun that captures the essence of a white dress perfectly. It's the moment actress Diane Lane takes a leap of faith and visits her lover in Positano, wearing a beautiful white shirtdress with a dreamy A-line skirt. The summer sun, the Amalfi Coast, the romantic thrill—it's what the best white dresses are made for. While we might not all make it to Italy right away, there's still a perfect white dress waiting for you and whatever summer adventure you have in store. Paired with a sunhat, some raffia sandals, and a berry lipstick, this wardrobe hero becomes a symbolic summer staple—a harbinger of sun-soaked escapades, if you will. But even if you're just heading to your desk or looking for something casual to slip into, the best white dresses deliver the kind of effortless elegance we all love and seek. It's probably why they were a recurring theme on the spring/summer 2025 runway shows for brands like Jacquemus, Miu Miu, and Alaïa. Ready to update your warm-weather rotation with some new options? With various occasions, hemlines, and personal tastes in mind, here are the only white dresses you need—whether you're spending a day by the beach, at the office, or at a summer soirée. Since it is summer we're speaking of, it only makes sense to start the roundup with the best linen options. The breezy fabric keeps air circulation going, which means you won't trap any unwanted heat underneath the dress. It's also one of the more durable fabrics with a high-quality feel. Since the natural fiber can sometimes be a bit scratchy, you'll notice that many brands add a cotton lining underneath, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of a white linen dress without compromising on the feel. Maxi dresses are the most underrated of white dresses—perhaps because the idea of a floor-length white dress typically brings to mind a wedding gown. Still, there are plenty of opportunities to wear a long white dress that don't involve an aisle. Any of the options below prove that a maxi white dress can be worn casually to a garden party or styled elegantly for an evening soirée. The Stella McCartney piece, for example, can even be worn to the office. There are practically no occasions where a midi dress doesn't feel appropriate. The slightly shortened hemline and A-line silhouette were initially popularized by Christian Dior in his 1947 'New Look' collection, solidifying the midi dress as an icon through the '50s. The style still receives great enthusiasm, as people continue to adore the chic and somewhat preppy aesthetic. For a little leg moment, a minidress is the way to go. The short skirt is inherently flirtier than the previous options listed, but it's also an easy way to escape the heat in style. While minidresses tend to lean more casual, brands like Simkhai and Significant Other offer dressier takes on the silhouette. Weekends and brunch dates wouldn't be the same without the little white dress, so make sure you have a couple of these in your closet. The concept of a shirtdress is pretty simple—the top half resembles a button-down shirt, while the bottom half extends out in a skirt. It's equal parts buttoned-up and free-spirited, making it a favorite among office-goers. The crisp, tailored style is also popular in courtside fashion, which is why you'll spot plenty of spectators at the US Open and Wimbledon sporting the look, too. Whether you're going out to meet friends or to walk your dog around the park, the best casual white dresses are easy to throw on and require zero brain power to pull together. They're meant to feel comfortable without looking sloppy. And while you can wear them out and about, they also make ideal at-home outfits for days when you want to feel productive and get out of your loungewear. Consider the drop-waist dress the 'It girl' of dresses in 2025. The style goes hand in hand with the return of low-rise pants, as it highlights the elongated torso. It's hard not to love this season's standout style—especially when brands like Reformation and Banana Republic make such cute versions of the silhouette. The latter even combines it with a bubble skirt, hitting two trends in one go. Summer is filled with special occasions, rooftop parties, and galas. For any type of celebration, consider the following gowns. We've selected dresses with plunging necklines—like this option from Norma Kamali—and dainty lace numbers such as the one featured from Acne Studios. Each white dress is bound to leave an impression and make you feel like the main event of the night. Every product featured on is independently researched, tested, or editor-approved.
