Sea Inspired Jewellery Is What 2025's It Girls Are Accessorising With This Summer
From organic-shaped rings and bangles, to freshwater pearl-adorned necklaces and sea-animal charms, Pandora's Summer and Essence collections will help imbue every ensemble with a serene marine feel.
For a casual feel, try layering some of Pandora's iconic charms to one of their chunky bracelets, but if you're looking for a cleaner look, try styling one of the organic bangles over a long-sleeved top or shirt (just like Alexa Chung).
While pearls can sometimes feel fussy, pairing them with natural shapes, turquoise and mixed metals offers a more relaxed vibe - just add a linen trouser set and this season's chicest leather flip-flops and you are as at home in the boardroom or the beach.
Creative consultant, content creator and generally well dressed woman Julia Sokele agrees, telling ELLE UK: 'Pandora Essence collection is my summer signature – refined, effortless, and endlessly stackable. I reach for it daily to elevate even the simplest look. I'm loving the Rippled Wide Hoop earrings and Organically shaped rings – stacked together, they create a statement that feels both bold and elegant. I can't imagine summer outfits without them.'
In fact, this summer it seems we're all a bit hellbent on bringing the ocean indoors and the beachside holiday with us: our favourite shoe styles are jelly fisherman sandals, flip-flops have become office appropriate and boat shoes are everywhere. As for our clothing, crochet dresses are fashion editor catnip and influencers are donning sailor collars at alarming rates.
Something's in the water, that's for certain.

Anya Taylor-Joy Models This Summer's Must-Have Accessory Trend
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. THE RUNDOWN: Take it from Alexa Chung, Kylie Jenner, and now Anya Taylor-Joy—silk scarves are the hottest accessory of the season. While many have been sporting the item as a belt, as seen on Lola Tung in New York City earlier in July, Taylor-Joy took the trend one step further, twisting and tying three different scarves three separate ways at the Formula 1 Hungarian Grand Prix. The Furiosa actress wrapped a pleated green scarf over her head, allowing her pigtail braids to poke through. With her Dior sunglasses and a cherry-red lip, Taylor-Joy channeled the classic Old Hollywood archetype of a glamorous movie star riding in a convertible down the Italian coastline—an appropriate image for the Formula 1 race. Taylor-Joy also sported a cream lace-trimmed scarf tied around her shoulders, which perfectly complemented her tailored Cinq à Sept shorts, white tank top, and Sam Edelman Mary Janes. To cap it all off, she completed the look with a silk scarf bag by Farm Rio, officially cementing the silk scarf as an easy-yet-dynamic styling tool. The actress was in attendance alongside her husband, Malcolm McRae, who wore his usual uniform of a button-down and slacks. The two were spotted visiting the Ferrari garage and F1 paddock during the qualification session for the Grand Prix. Inside, Taylor-Joy easily popped headphones over her green scarf. She has long been a fan of the Ferrari team, attending numerous races to show her support, and always dressing for the occasion.

3 Nineties Winona Ryder Looks To Steal For 2025 – From Grunge Glamour To Red-Carpet Minimalism
Winona Ryder graces the cover of ELLE UK this month. A true style icon, the actor has always mastered that elusive balance between rebellious and refined dressing, making her one of the most enduring fashion muses of the Nineties and beyond. In celebration of her timeless style, we've rounded up three of her most iconic 1990s outfits and reimagined them for 2025. From red-carpet moments to off-duty airport chic, these looks feel just as relevant today as they did then, proving that good style never goes out of fashion. At the Eyes Wide Shut premiere party in 1999, Ryder embodied late-Nineties minimalism in a sheer black slip dress, arm cuff and kitten-heeled mules. It was a look that whispered rather than shouted; a quietly provocative, effortlessly cool ensemble. For 2025, we're recreating this barely-there elegance with a sheer, bias-cut slip that nods to Ryder's original. Pair it with kitten heels – chic, sensible, and a nostalgic throwback to Nineties party style that won't kill your feet by midnight. Add a hint of glint with a sculptural cuff-style bracelet or two, paired with matching earrings. Ryder's 1992 Dracula premiere look, an iridescent blue skirt suit complete with broderie anglaise trim and an in-built corset, was a masterclass in power dressing. This is a look you could lift wholesale for 2025 – the ruffle and lace detail falls just on the right side of coquettish, especially when styled simply with just a pair of slingback heels and a simple necklace. Or, you could channel that same cool confidence with a contemporary twist, swapping corseted tailoring for a boxy jacket and matching skirt. Either way, like Ryder then (and now), you'll look smart, subversive and subtly glamorous. Tailoring has always been a key part of Ryder's style, whether on the red carpet or off-duty. This oversized blazer and cropped trouser combo, which she wore for a flight into LAX, is effortless, a little grunge and timeless. Whether you're airport-bound or running errands, this is Ryder's signature brand of nonchalant chic that turns heads without ever trying too hard. Copy her original 1990s 'fit with a menswear-inspired blazer worn over an oversized white tee (dinosaur suitcase optional), or channel Ryder's ELLE cover shoot with something a little more tailored, worn with lashings of gold jewellery.
