]]> Wake up mermaid enthusiasts, because it is finally your time to shine! You heard us, mermaid fashion has finally arrived and is here to take over your summer wardrobe. The trend has gained momentum over the past few years, with celebrities like Dua Lipa and brands like Versace hopping on board. From an ocean and sunrise colour palette to iridescent and wet-looking textures, mermaidcore is the adult-sized version of playing mermaids we have all been waiting for. And with the live-action The Little Mermaid movie finally coming out, there’s no better chance to let the style be part of your world–and your vacation suitcase (see what we did there?).

Here are our top picks to embrace your inner sea goddess (PSA: we can’t promise it comes with underwater breathing):

This Shell Swimsuit

This is the perfect way to dip your toes in water and embrace your inner mermaid–no tail required. Add a pearl belly chain with matching sunnies and you’ll be serving mermaidcore all summer.

Looking for the perfect outfit for a beach-side fancy dinner? Well, look no further than here. This dress will have you dreaming of glistening oceans and sandy beaches. And if you don’t have an event planned for this summer yet, you can still pair it up with pastel strappy heels and wear it anytime you want to feel like a fairy-tale.

The Heart Of The Oyster

Is there anything that says mermaid more than an iridescent sequin top? We don’t think so. Match it up with a white mini-skirt and platform sandals for a look that’ll turn heads (and fins).

Scaled up

Who needs a tail when you have this scale-like chic skirt? If you’re feeling up for it, you can even dress it down with your favourite bikini top or amp up the sophistication by adding anoversized blazer.

Starfishing

These starfish won’t whisper compliments in your ear like the ones in Aquamarine did, but you’ll still be getting them everywhere you go. You can thank us later.

Whether you know her as a young Disney star, half of the Grammy-winning R&B duo Chloe x Halle, or as the Little Mermaid, there’s no denying that she does it all. Being in the spotlight for so long means she’s been serving looks since 2008, rocking everything from edgy ensembles to whimsical princess gowns. And with her dipping her mermaid tail into Hollywood as the live-action Ariel, there’s no better time to look back at her style evolution.

Whether you know her as a young Disney star, half of the Grammy-winning R&B duo Chloe x Halle, or as the Little Mermaid, there’s no denying that she does it all. Being in the spotlight for so long means she’s been serving looks since 2008, rocking everything from edgy ensembles to whimsical princess gowns. And with her dipping her mermaid tail into Hollywood as the live-action Ariel, there’s no better time to look back at her style evolution.

For one of her first red carpets, Chloe and her sister formed an adorable duo with these crystal embellished dresses and equally shining smiles.

Just three years after, the Beyoncé protegés look unrecognizably edgy in head-to-toe Louis Vuitton.

VMA’s, 2018

For their VMA’s debut Halle and her sister changed it up again, this time going for over-the-top, classy Iris Van Herpen dresses that no doubt turned heads.

Wearing Versace, this look is one of the first times we see Halle rock the cut-out style– but definitely not the last.

MTV Music Video Awards, 2021

Walking the red carpet solo, Halle stunned in a white Mônot dress that continued her love affair with cut-outs; and made her look badass.

And for the most fashionable event of the season, Halle did not come to play with this pink-tasseled Rodarte ensemble that was just as ethereal as her voice.

Academy Awards, 2022

For her first Academy Awards, Halle paired a (you guessed it) cut-out Roberto Cavalli dress with matching heels. With a look like that, it’s no wonder Disney chose her to play one of their most iconic princesses.

With this blue tulle Dolce & Gabanna dress, the actress and musician cemented her role as a fairytale princess.

For her second time on the carpet, she wore a Gucci sheer halter dress with a voluminous ruffled cape. One thing’s for sure: she looked just as dreamy as Ariel.

This dress is the catalyst of her mermaid aesthetic, with a Valdrin Sahiti gown that makes her look like she swam straight from the ocean to the carpet.

The area was transformed into an underwater paradise, featuring shells, coral, an aquatic blue carpet, and a band serenading guests on steel drums. Here are our picks for the best-dressed celebs: 

Halle Bailey

Halle Bailey, who was revealed to be playing the lead role in 2019, stole the show in this white gown from Miss Sohee. The sweeping dress featured diamond-encrusted panels, mesh sides, and tulle ruffles. She matched the bedazzled straps with her sparkling diamond headpiece and stuck to the under-the-sea theme with some pearl earrings.

AJ Odudu

The TV host looked stunning in this gold metallic bodice from Graham Cruz Studio. She paired it with a maxi skirt with a long slit to show off her gold strappy heels, and she tied everything together with gold jewellery and a black mani-pedi.

Simone Ashley

The Bridgestone actress, who plays one of Ariel’s sisters in the movie, wore this Victoria Beckham FW23 collection dress to the premiere. The nude dress featured many slits and mesh fabric, clearly taking notes from the naked dress trend. She paired it with platform silver heels, gold jewellery, and deep indigo eyeshadow.

Stefflon Don

It was a family outing for Stefflon Don, who brought her nieces and sister to the blue carpet. Styled by our very own Jyoti, Steff and Shemara wore showstopping green and purple matching chiffon dresses from Millia London, with matching chunky crystal necklaces and earrings.

Melissa McCarthy

Melissa McCarthy looked far from her supervillain character Ursula as she walked the red carpet in this hot pink ensemble. The Edwardianstyle maxi dress featured a high-neck collar, puffy sleeves, ruffles, and a train. She accessorised with diamonds from Gismondi and pink iridescent boots with a huge platform.

Sienna King

Playing another of Ariel’s sisters, Sienna attended the premiere in this futuristic ruched dress from the Feben FW23 collection. She paired the dress with a dainty pearl necklace and wore her hair slicked back to let her outfit take the spotlight.

Jourdan Dunn

Jourdan was channelling her inner mermaid with this blue knitted maxi dress, with the woven pattern resembling scales. The semi-transparent dress featured long sleeves, a high slit, and a cut-out neckline adorned with a pearl. She paired the dress with strappy heels and layered necklaces, and wore her hair in beachy waves.

Montanna Brown

Love Island alum Montana attended the premiere with her fiancé, Mark O’Connor, showing off her baby bump in this Rotate Birger Christensen dress. The checkerboard dress featured large cutouts on her midriff and thigh, lace up details, and a bright red interior. She paired it with classic white heels and a white manicure to match. 

Sabrina Elba

Attending without her husband, Idris, Sabrina looked stunning in this khaki maxi dress from Saint Laurent. The dress featured spaghetti straps, ruching, and a plunging neckline. She opted for no necklace but added some shine with a large gold bangle and dramatic gold earrings, while keeping it low-key on her feet with some flat sandals.

Nifè 

The Tiktok star took the mermaid theme to a whole new level, wearing this insane dress featuring a cream bandeau top, a green and blue puffy train, and ornate gemstone embroidery. The silky dress matched her signature blue hair and brows perfectly, and she accessorised with simple silver jewellery and diamanté heels.

]]> Barbie

Girlies grab your lipstick and make sure your accessories match your shoes because Barbie is coming to cinema this Summer! Starring the blonde bombshell we all know and love Margot Robbie as Barbie and the dashing Ryan Gosling as Ken, who could be perfect to play this iconic duo? This romantic comedy is directed by the fantastic Greta Gerwig who brought us Lady Bird and Little Women and is written by Gerwig and her partner Noah Baumbach director and writer of Marriage Story and a frequent collaborator of Wes Anderson. The supporting cast is also jam-packed with A-listers such as comedian Will Ferrell, Marvel actor Simu Liu, SNL favourite Kate McKinnon, Hate U Give star Issa Rae, the loveable Michael Cera, new Doctor Who Ncuti Gatwa, as well as his Sex Education co-star Emma Macke.

It will be the first-ever live-action Barbie film and is bound to induce nostalgia in the queens that grew up watching classic Barbie films like The Princess and the Pauper, Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, and Island Princess. So far all we know about the plot is that after being expelled from Barbieland for being a less-than-perfect-looking doll, Barbie sets off for the human world to find true happiness. 

Vogue has already cited Barbiecore – skimpy looks in bright pink – a trend for the summer so we know this movie is just bound to have a huge cultural impact. With the UK release date being set as 21st July we can’t wait to see this campy delight on the big screen. 

Babylon

Margot Robbie stars in another film we’re anticipating with pleasure, the period comedy-drama Babylon. Set in the late 1920s during the time when Hollywood transitioned from silent movies to ‘talkies’ the film follows multiple filmmakers and stars as they try to keep afloat in the changing world. Brad Pitt, Narcos actor Diego Calva, Red Hot Chilli Peppers bassist Flea, the OG Spiderman Tobey Mcguire, and Olivia Wilde also all play a part in this wild ride of a film. Academy award nominated director Damien Chazelle, known for Whiplash and La La Land, directed the film which has already received five Golden Globe nominations including Best Motion Picture in the musical or comedy section and nine nominations at the Critics’ Choice Awards. This crazy party comes on 6th January – make sure you’re there!

Scream VI

Lock your doors and don’t answer the phone because Ghostface is back and this time he’s moving through the big city! On the 10th March the new instalment of the Scream franchise is being released exciting news for horror fans all over the world. The 6th film of the quintessential slasher film will take place in New York City and be a direct sequel to the 2022 Scream film that rebooted the franchise. Whilst everyone’s favourite final girl Neve Campell will not be returning the film will star actors from the previous film Melissa Barrera, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, and of course Wednesday actress Jenna Ortega as well as Courtney Cox who starred in the original films. What makes this instalment unique is that it takes place outside of Woodsboro in New York City. Grab your popcorn and for God’s sake watch your back!

The Little Mermaid

Disney has been turning our favourite childhood movies into live-action films for the last few years now delighting fans with the fresh retelling of classic stories. A lot of girls who grew up wanting desperately to breathe underwater will be delighted to hear that The Little Mermaid is the next Disney movie to be given a live-action movie and will be released on 26th May. The new musical film, directed by Rob Marshall, who directed the film version of Chicago, will star American singer-songwriter and Grown-ish actress as Ariel. The perfect casting of Melissa McCarthy as Ursula and Javier Bardem as King Triton has us super excited to see how this film pans out and with Lin-Manuel Miranda doing the music we’re getting out our whosits and whatis ready as our microphones to singalong.

M3gan

If the uncanny valley freaks you out, you may want to skip M3gan coming out on Friday the 13th of this month – or maybe just peek through your fingers! The science fiction horror film comes from the dark and twisted mind of James Wan responsibly for the Saw, Conjuring, and Insidious franchises. The horror film stars Get Outactress Alison Williams alongside child star Violet McGraw who you may recognise as the young Nell from the Haunting of Hill House. The plot revolves around Gemma who works as a roboticist using AI to develop a lifelike doll, M3gan, a kid’s best friend and a parent’s greatest ally. When she unexpectedly gains custody of her niece, she gifts her a prototype of M3gan to keep her company which leads to disastrous consequences.

The Whale

The Whale is the new A24 film that critics are marvelling at. The film has earned Brendan Fraser a Golden Globes nomination for Best Actor, and fans are saying he deserves an Oscar for his tear-jerking performance. The American Canadian actor known for his role in the Mummy trilogy has made his comeback after a long absence from Hollywood due to his struggle with depression. Directed by the great Darren Aronofsky, who brought us Black Swan starring Natalie Portman, Mother! Starring Jennifer Lawrence, and Requiem for a Dream starring Jared Leto, this film is bound to be a masterpiece. The psychological drama is about 600-pound English teacher Charlie (Fraser) who attempts to reconnect with his 17-year-old daughter (Stranger Things’ Sadie Sink) after his lover, for whom he abandoned his family, dies. Even the trailer makes us well up, so you better bring a whole box of tissues to the cinema when it comes out on 6th February.

Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds And Snakes

If like us, you can’t get enough of the dystopian world of Panem and are itching for a new Hunger Games film we have thrilling news for you. The fifth instalment in the Hunger Games film series The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes will be a prequel to the films already released. The film is based on the novel by the same name by Suzanne Collins, released in 2020, that is set 64 years before the first instalment and follows the callous president Snow in his younger days when he was a poor orphan. The film will star Viola Davis, Hunter Schafer, and Peter Dinklage with Tom Blyth as President Snow. The film is set to release on the 17th November so you have lots of time to rewatch the other films before then!

Wonka

Timothée Chalamet stans prepare yourselves because the young actor is donning the iconic top hat and picking up his cane ready to take on the titular role in the much anticipated Wonka. Chalamet will be the 3rdactor to take on the role of the eccentric chocolatier after Gene Wilder played him in 1971 and then Johnny Depp gave him his own spin in 2005. There’s no trailer yet but what we do know is that this fantasy musical will be a prequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the 1964 novel by children’s author Roald Dahl, following the adventures of the chocolatier before he owned his infamous factory. Alongside Timothée will star comedian Keegan-Michael Key, Mr Bean himself Rowan Atkinson, Spencer actress Sally Hawkins, British icon Olivia Coleman, and Little Britain’s Matt Lucas. The film is directed by Paul King the British director who famously wrote and directed the nation’s favourite Paddington and Paddington 2! With photos from the set showing Timothée draped in a velvety red coat giving magical vibes, we can’t wait to see this remarkable film when it comes out on 15th December.
