Blake Lively Just Proved How Flattering Old Navy's New Skinny Jeans Are

Given how often Blake Lively has been photographed wearing skinny jeans over the years, it's safe to assume that she knows a good pair when she sees them. And as she just proved, a good pair doesn't have to cost more than $200. In fact, they can be much, much less than that. 

The latest pair of Lively-approved skinny jeans are a new version of Old Navy's ultra-popular Rockstar Skinny Jeans: Rockstar 24/7. According to the product description, the jeans are made of "a super-soft knit that looks just like denim IRL." So they have the ultra-flattering fit of the original Rockstar skinnies but with an insane amount of comfort and stretch. And thus far, the reviews from other shoppers are glowing (one even says that they're as comfortable as leggings). Not only that, they're available in sizes 0 to 20 and come in both tall and petite sizes. And as if that wasn't enough, these jeans are currently 35% off (applied at checkout) of the already low $40 price tag. 

Lively chose the dark wash (they also come in light and medium), which she paired with a classic white blouse, a studded Fendi backpack, and pearl-embellished Stuart Weitzman sandals. As you can see, the jeans are flatting, expensive-looking, and no one would guess that they're actually knit.

Jonathan Simkhai's Genius Bridesmaid Dressing Trick

It fashion designer Jonathan Simkhai just tied the knot with his partner and best friend TJ Allers in the Hamptons, and they couldn't have pulled off a more picture-perfect wedding. The two groomsmen had an overwhelming amount of support by their side as their friends, family, and 17 bridesmaids made it out to their special day.

Yes, 17 lovely ladies in total stood by them as they proclaimed their love for one another. Luckily, because Jonathan is one of the fashion industry's greatest designers, no bridesmaid had any trouble finding a dress that worked for her. "We handpicked a different dress for each woman from my Spring 2017 collection," Simkhai told Vogue.com. "Each dress brought out their natural beauty."

Did you hear that, brides? Not everyone in your party has to look the exact same. Maybe it's time to give up those traditional wedding outlooks and start embracing the unique figures of the women wanting to be there for you on your big day.

Another wedding faux pas Simkhai's bridesmaids committed was—gasp—wearing white to the ceremony. We're not saying copy this by any means, but considering both husbands-to-be wore navy and black tuxes that they reportedly got two days beforehand, it didn't seem like they would clash at all. 

Take a play out of Simkhai and Allers's playbook and think outside of the box when it comes to your wedding inspiration. See below for proof that taking major risks can really pay off.

The One Shoe Style Every Princess, Queen, and Duchess Wears

Data Says Those Gucci Loafers Are Worth the Money

Splurging on a new bag or pair of shoes is supposed to feel rewarding, but all too often, spending a large chunk of your biweekly paycheck all in once place can be anxiety-inducing. Luckily, there's good news, treat yourself to a new pair of Gucci loafers and you can re-sell them when you're ready to move on, totally guilt-free. Resale website The Real Real told Footwear News that the iconic Gucci loafer "holds its value especially well," noting that it can resell for up to 80% of its original value. 

Surprisingly, these designer shoes are holding value better than handbags by the same brands. So if the ability to re-sell your future splurges factors into what you actually decide to buy, keep Gucci's loafers in mind. Because once you're ready to retire them, you may just find someone else is just ready to jump on the trend.

Solved: What to Wear to a Work Conference

Of all the style conundrums that come with being a working adult, figuring out what to wear to a conference can be one of the trickiest. Maybe the dress code calls for less (or more) formal attire than your office usually does, or maybe you don't typically go into an office at all, so you have to think about looking professional in front of a whole new group of people.

If it's a multi-day event you're traveling to, there's also the consideration of what will pack well and not require frantic ironing in the hotel room to look presentable.

In sum, there's a lot to think about, and we're sure you'd rather be focusing on what events to go to and speakers to see. So to save you some time, we've tracked down a few street style–inspired outfit ideas to start you off—all of which can be tweaked depending on your industry. Bare arms a no-go? Add a fitted blazer (overzealous air conditioning may make you want one anyway). Bright colors not your style? Tone it down with some chic neutrals. And, naturally, a cool laptop bag is always a welcome addition to any work outfit.

Below, see nine outfit formulas to try at your next conference.

Gwyneth Paltrow's Best Outfits, From the '90s to Today

It's hard to believe, but Gwyneth Paltrow has been gracing us with her elegance for nearly three decades. The actress and Goop founder has been a mainstay on countless best dressed lists over the years, and she continues to capture our attention every time she steps out, whether it's onto the red carpet or through airport security.

While seemingly a minimalist at her core (both in the '90s and today), Paltrow has never been one to shy away from taking major style risks—even for something as important as the red carpet at the Academy Awards. In fact, we still think about that pink Ralph Lauren dress that she wore to accept her Oscar in 1999 on a regular basis. Because Paltrow has had so many noteworthy looks since she first skyrocketed to fame, we're rounding them up here, from 1996 to today.
