At their core, these labels are new names for chrome, pink, and pale blue; they're just basic summer nail colors. I’m not mad at them, but I could use more excitement. Something fresh! Something fun! A marginally different and out-of-the-box shade that I can spread across my fingertips. If my prior puns haven’t given it away, I want butter yellow nail polish.

Luckily for me, it's summer's hottest shade. "Butter yellow has been trending this year because it’s the new nude," says Priscilla Nguyen, Aprés Nail Educator and Manicurist. "It has a pop of color without being so vibrant." Pale in nature and compatible with nearly every outfit, it's easy to see why the butter yellow nail polish trend is taking over. The condiment-turned-color-trend has doubled in Google search volume over the past few months. Essie’s Buttercup and OPI’s Blinded by the Ring Light have been out of stock at my New York City nail salon for weeks.

Meanwhile, beauty insiders have been endorsing butter yellow as the It girl mani color since April. Rare Beauty founder Selena Gomez, Rhode Beauty founder Hailey Bieber, and CoverGirl ambassador Kelsey Ballerini, have all shared snaps on Instagram of their nails painted the shade of bread's favorite accoutrement.

Kendall Jenner even co-signed the trend this weekend, sharing a photo of her “butter nails” on Instagram Stories. Her nails are short and natural in a squoval shape (aka square with rounded edges) and are painted a soft yellow reminiscent of the whipped butter you'd find at a fancy steakhouse.

If I can’t believe it’s not butter (yellow) isn't coating your nails already, I am happy to report that it's incredibly easy to get the look. Go forth for the full breakdown of summer's butter yellow nail trend, then screenshot and schedule your next nail appointment.

The Butter Yellow Nail Trend's Popularity, Explained

There's no overstating the butter yellow nail trend's domination. Just check your "For You" page for proof: Butter yellow has been hashtagged more than two thousand times on TikTok, with millions of combined views across each video.

Butter yellow got some of its earliest manicure endorsements on Sandy Liang's Fall 2024 runway last February, where lead nail artist Holly Falcone used OPI’s Buttafly on a third of the models. (The season before that, the shade also turned up as a spring color trend across dozens of clothing collections.) But it wasn't until nail artist Tom Bachik shared a photo of Selena Gomez’s nails painted in the cheery hue that the shade really took off for 2024.

Now, it’s all but impossible to scroll through social media without seeing butter yellow accents on French manicures (like Gigi Hadid's Met Gala manicure) or used as a pop of color in otherwise status quo nail art.

"I love adding daisies with butter yellow centers to any shade, from nude to a bright coral pink," celebrity nail artist Miss Pop says. "They are instantly cheerful and nearly every nail artist can do them—even you can do it at home with a bobby pin."

How to Find the Best Butter Yellow Nail Polish for You

While the butter yellow nail trend is exploding in popularity this summer, finding your best shade can feel like a journey. "One of the most important things to look for in a butter yellow shade is opacity," Miss Pop says. "You need a highly pigmented, soft shade. Take your time combing through swatches—otherwise, you might wind up with a dud that needs three or more coats."

It's also key to consider skin tone. You'll want to slightly adjust the cookie-cutter hue to work with your undertones. "Butter yellow can be so unforgiving on many skin tones, but if you reach for a pale yellow shade with a little light-catching shimmer or add a special shimmer nail polish top coat or pearl chrome powder to gel, it can make even the most difficult of shades subtly attuned to your skin tone," Miss Pop advises.

With those tips in mind, pick out your butter yellow nail polish below.

The answer came to me when I was scrolling social media and saw beauty star Jenesis Alonso's glow. She's pretty much mastered summer skin, and she uses Revolution Beauty's Bronzing Drops to do that. After comparing this product to my expensive alternative, I can say I've found the perfect dupe for only $12. Only a few drops of this bronzer make me look like I've just come home from a weeks-long Mediterranean vacation. And while many affordable beauty products sacrifice quality, this one has the same hydrating ingredients as its more expensive counterparts (e.g. squalane and hyaluronic acid, two of my faves), so I know it's good for my skin. Here's how I've been using it in my summer beauty routine: First, I mix the bronzing drops with sunscreen and apply that all over my face for a bronze sheen. I put concealer under my eyes and on any blemishes, dot some liquid blush and highlighter on my cheekbones, and finish the look by filling in my brows, swiping some mascara onto my lashes, and glazing my lips with clear gloss.

There you have it: the perfect bronzy, glowy makeup for summer. Below, I've shared every product I'm using to create this look, plus more best sellers.

So our ears pricked up when we saw TikTok user @uglyducklingskincare go on a mission on the streets of Paris to pinpoint the exact product that was responsible for everyone's beautiful, subtle scent.

Nuxe's multitasking dry oil, which you can use on your body, face, or hair! It's a product that, the clerk said, happens to sell every single minute in France.

As a dry oil, it's supremely hydrating, but it's light enough to be used anywhere on the body—try it on your strands to make your next slicked-back style a snap.

Even though it soaks into the skin and leaves behind a noticeable satiny glow, it's the opposite of greasy, and you're also left with that now-famous scent featuring delicate notes of orange blossom, magnolia, and vanilla.

I’ve always been on team do-what-makes-you-happy when it comes to plastic surgery, dermatology, or body sculpting (so long as its safe and doctor-approved). So when I learned that Sofwave, which has long been loved by doctors and patients as a skin-tightening tool that sculpts the jawline, received FDA approval for the arms, I genuinely don’t think I could have signed myself up faster.

It’s a noninvasive treatment that promises to boost collagen and elastin, tightening the skin. I knew I wasn’t the cookie-cutter candidate (my skin isn’t crepey or necessarily sagging), but with summer approaching, I wanted to see if Sofwave would even slightly improve the dimply, detached skin on my upper arms.

In early March, I checked into Dr. Blair Murphy Rose’s office at the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York for what would be a three-hour start-to-finish ordeal. Now, months later, I’m starting to see results. Everything I learned from the treatment—and what I wish I knew before—ahead.

The Sofwave Treatment, Explained

As someone deeply immersed in the beauty and aesthetics world, I've been hearing buzzings about Sofwave since 2019. The machine, which stands on four wheels and is accompanied by a screen that monitors output, quickly made its way into dermatology, plastic surgery practices, and medspas as a non-invasive body contouring offering. It became the it-device among aesthetic circles, offering fairly dramatic results after one single treatment and with little downtime.

The machine was originally designed to sculpt the jawline, but doctors have been using it off-label as FDA approvals trickle in. Depending on the patient, Sofwave can work on the buttocks, arms, eyebrows, hands. The options are plentiful, but the process remains entirely the same: A hand-held device is placed directly onto the skin to deliver high-frequency focused ultrasound waves. “The ultrasound energy generates heat,” explains Dr. Murphy-Rose. The targeted tissue heats up essentially from the outside-in. While each section only receives roughly 30 seconds of treatment, it's enough to prompt long-term results. "This stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, which leads to skin tightening and rejuvenation.”

Unlike other high-frequency ultrasound devices, doctors turn to Sofwave for a less painful experience and more consistent results. “Sofwave’s unique delivery system ensures uniform energy distribution across the treatment area,” explains Dr. Murphy-Rose. Patients might leave a little red or a bit sensitive. They might even question if anything actually happened (I know I did).

The skin starts tightening gradually, with results fully visible at the 12-month mark. And when that much time has lapsed, it becomes abundantly clear that change has taken place. Trust me.

The Benefits

Sofwave can either be a problem-solution fix or a preventative treatment. “It reduces and prevents fine lines and wrinkles, reduces laxity, and improves skin quality,” explains Dr. Murphy-Rose. “It’s thought that we lose about one percent of the collagen in our skin every year after age 20, so anything we can do to boost the production of these proteins helps to improve skin health and appearance.”

The extent of the benefits largely depends on how strong of a candidate the patient is. According to Dr. Murphy-Rose, those with mild to moderate skin laxity will see the biggest difference. Still, this is noninvasive tech and won’t have the same dramatic effect as a surgical lift or tightening.

The Cost

Sofwave isn’t cheap. Depending on your doctor and location, one session will cost roughly $1,500 to $4,500. Typically, you'll only need one treatment. But, depending on your specific case, your doctor might recommend a second treatment one year out, which would double the initial cost.

The treatment is available nationwide at cosmetic dermatology offices, with lower prices in more rural areas. You can find a provider near you on Sofwave's website.

The Aftercare

When it comes to aftercare, there isn’t any. You can leave the doctor’s office and do your normal daily activity. You might have some lingering redness or tenderness (I definitely did for a few hours), but serious complications are rare. Just ensure you see an experienced and reputable provider to avoid adverse effects. Always inquire about your doctor's board certification and if they underwent training by the Sofwave team. They should be able to provide diplomas.

What I Learned

I’m a bit of a hypochondriac, so I did a deep dive on Sofwave ahead of my treatment. I knew it was pretty low-risk and that my results weren’t guaranteed to be dramatic given my starting point. But now, several months later, I can confirm there’s a lot Google doesn’t tell you. My biggest takeaways from the treatment, ahead.

Sofwave Can Be Done in Multiple Locations

When Sofwave launched in the US circa 2019, it received FDA approval to improve facial lines and wrinkles. In 2021, it added credentials to lift the eyebrow, tissue beneath the chin, and on the neck. Then, earlier this year, it received FDA approval for use on the upper arm. With that in mind, doctors have been using the device “off-label” for years. “The most common areas treated with Sofwave are the face and neck, however, I frequently treat the chest, abdomen, backs of the hands, arms, buttocks, and skin above the knee,” says Dr. Murphy-Rose.

Give Yourself Time to Numb

When I first checked in to my appointment, I mistakenly thought I would be in and out in 45 minutes tops. Such is not the case, so plan accordingly. After checking in and talking with Dr. Murphy-Rose, her physician's assistant applied a large amount of numbing cream to both arms and wrapped me in layers of saran wrap. I was told sit back and relax (I ended up catching up on some work!) for roughly 90 minutes.

I periodically poked my arms to see how the numbing cream was taking effect. I ended up with absolutely no feeling on the lower third of my upper arm but a very dulled sensation closer to my armpit.

Even Then, Expect It to Sting a Bit

I have a very high pain tolerance. So much so, that I find laser hair removal not the least bit irritating. Call me cocky, but I thought Sofwave was going to be similar. I debated skipping the numbing cream altogether. In retrospect, that would have been a massive mistake—it stings.

In spots where the numbing cream was applied heavily, I experienced just a little warmth—nothing crazy. But up closer my armpit, where I likely diffused some of the numbing product from friction, the device caused discomfort. Not crying-we-need-to-stop this discomfort, but an I’m-going-to-bite-my-lip-and-pray-this-is-over-soon discomfort. The device stayed on each section for a few seconds, so any pain came and went relatively quickly. Plus, there was a cool air blast that followed the machine to soothe the skin (and my mind).

We did two passes on each arm, and the second go-around definitely felt stronger. Thankfully, Dr. Murphy-Rose kept me distracted for the majority of the treatment, which was over in about a half hour.

Results Take Time

Dr. Murphy-Rose warned me not to expect results right away. She said that I would likely notice a little difference at the one-month mark and the biggest difference around six to eight months. I wasn’t sold that I was going to notice any difference, given that my skin was tighter than an “ideal candidate’s.” As the weeks went by, and the weather got warmer though, subtle changes became noticeable.

It was roughly around the six-week out mark when I put on a tank top before running errands around the city. Normally, that type of shirt emphasizes the skin pocket by the armpit and draws attention to the uneven texture. Yet, as I looked in the mirror before jetting out the door, I noticed that my upper arm, on both sides, looked firmer.

I was unclear if I was imagining the results I wanted, so I snapped quick photos at the same angle I had taken right before my Sofwave treatment. When I put them side by side, the results were clearly visible. It’s not jaw-droppingly dramatic, but a wild before-and-after was never the goal. However, the tightening effect smoothed out a bit of the puckering and gave me the confidence to have my arms out without feeling self-conscious.

While You Don't Need a Second Treatment, You Might Want One

While I’m still waiting to see how the results take shape through the end of summer, Dr. Murphy-Rose shared that I might want to consider getting a touch-up treatment around the eight month mark to sustain and improve my results. “Most of my patients report noticing some improvement after just a few weeks though optimal results are expected around eight to 12 months after treatment,” she shares. “Since Sofwave stimulates collagen and elastin production over time, the full benefits of treatment continue to develop gradually.”

Honestly, the beauty editor in me never stops working, so I knew I had to have a chat with the masterminds behind a few key makeup and hair looks this season so far. If you're dying to know a bit more about the products they used on set, keep on reading. I tracked down all the details so you don't have to.

The Makeup Looks

First, Bridgerton makeup artist Jessie Deol shared more about the overall mood for this season and how she crafted each beauty look for this season's star, Nicola Coughlan. "We started off knowing it was a glow-up, so we had a look at all her past looks," says Deol. "Nicola has amazing eyes and skin, so I think my main objective was to make them pop on camera. I used colors and shapes that would make her eyes bluer and [give her] skin just a lovely glow. I am a big believer [that] if you get the base right, everything else falls into place. The next was costume and hairstyling. Farida [Ghwedar], Erika [Ökvist], and I would get a costume-fitting board with her costumes for that block. Farida and I would then do separate mood boards and then come together and streamline what would complement the overall look. If it was a light-colored dress with hair down, I knew I would be looking at very blended-out eyes, glossy lips—a more natural makeup [look]."

"Lastly, it was the storyline. Penelope goes through a lot of different stages with her looks, where she is trying to find a husband, then the first kiss she has, day looks, and ball looks. For example, Hawkins Ball was all about inventions, so I tried to be innovative with the makeup and use rhinestones to not only look good but [to also] catch the light while she was dancing," says Deol.

A particular favorite look Deol did for Coughlan was her "under the willow tree" look. "It was like a watercolor, and it's the type of makeup I like doing," she says. "To re-create this look, the skin is dewy and fresh, highlighting all the high points on your face. The eye makeup was very simple to do. It was a cream color blended out all over the eye and into the crease, then I used two types of shiny/glittery eye shadow pressed onto the lid to give the eye more depth. Lastly, [I] added some individual lashes to lift up and open the eye. The colors I used were to make Nicola's eyes pop. No liner, no harsh lines—just melted into her skin."

Deol also shared a few key beauty products she loves using on set below.

The Hair Looks

Bridgerton hairstylist Farida Ghwedar also gave us a bit more insight into the key hair moments this season.

"Initially, our designer Erika Ökvist put together a mood board with Hollywood starlets and pinups from the 1940s for all the Featherington sisters," she says. "I took those silhouettes and worked out what suited Nicola in the fittings. A mix between Veronica Lake and Rita Hayworth worked best with fullness toward the ends and less height at roots. I then mixed inspo from 1990s runway styles [from] the likes of Karen Mulder and Claudia Schiffer, all the way to '80s Brooke Shields and Kylie Minogue. Red carpet is always an inspiration, but I actually looked a lot at late '80s and early '90s versions of Hollywood golden era styles. I was drawn to them, as they were a little softer than the very 'set' originals. We finished with kiss curls to add a little period feel to the styles, and these were based [on] references I had been saving since I introduced them to Edwina's styles on season two. The reference spanned decades, ranging from Thelma Todd and later Marilyn Monroe to current Beyoncé and even an '80s MC Hammer dancer."

Unfortunately for us, most of the hairpieces on set were custom-made (sigh), but Ghwedar did share that there is one piece you can purchase for yourself, and you can snag it below.

Allow me to set the scene: Jenner has medium-length, almond-shaped nails. They're pretty standard. But she puts a "summer garden" twist on each of her French tips, attaching a little backyard bug to the half-moon shape. Some critters are cutesy and to be expected for a summer manicure. There’s an innocent bumble bee, a ladybug, even a pretty blue butterfly. But Kylie’s personal “favorite” is a “little worm,” which is accompanied by a snail and an ant. The Sprinter founder even has a beetle intricately drawn onto her nail.

While the insect nail art is undoubtedly the primary focus here, the backdrop on which they’ve been drawn indicates a huge summer nail trend. Neon French manicures are about to be everywhere.

“I think of the French manicure as the nail design gift that keeps on giving—it’s nail art’s immortality,” celebrity nail artist Miss Pop previously told Marie Claire while discussing summer 2024 nail trends. “No matter what you do with it, it’s not obtuse. It’s easy to understand. We all expect to see a highlighted nail tip.”

According to Cardi B’s longtime nail artist Jenny Bui, “Neon color is making a comeback—especially this summer.” Take a cue from Jenner and opt for a bright yellow, or swipe on a pink, blue, green, or orange of your choice. It’s all about experimentation.

Shop everything you need to recreate Jenner’s unexpectedly chic nails (including little insect stickers for those who can’t DIY little critters), ahead.

Everything You Need for a Garden French Manicure

While the past week certainly demonstrated a spike in shorter styles (think: pixie cuts, bixies, and bobs), cool-girl wolf cut chops reminiscent of the ‘70s certainly made their presence known in street style.

For the uninitiated, “a wolf cut is an edgy style, cut in short, shaggy layers, and combined with full, layered curtain bangs,” explains Rogerio Cavalcante, stylist and owner of The Second Floor Salon. Wolf cuts come in several breeds: I spotted shorter, summer-inspired wolf cuts on the menswear circuit, pink and red wolf cuts en route to shows like Schiaparelli and Balenciaga, and longer, shaggier styles ideal for the wolf cut novice (like me).

The cut initially rose to popularity last fall, particularly among Gen Z, but its second life this summer shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise. It’s low maintenance by nature and coincides with a versatility that aligns with any length, texture, or personality. “This trend embodies a young, care-free energy—it’s a vibe when you’re not taking yourself too seriously,” Cavalcante adds. “It’s also an androgynous look that’s very popular right now.”

To feel inspired by the many wolf cut variations Paris Couture Week had to offer—and score some free styling advice from Cavalcante—scroll ahead.

The Bob-Length Wolf Cut at Paris Couture Week

If you go for a super-short wolf cut, there's an obvious benefit: it looks good with essentially zero styling. “Just add some products with your hands and let it air dry or blow dry it,” says Cavalcante. “I like a hair mousse because it is ideal for creating cool, casual waves and curls as it adds volume and hold without leaving the hair feeling stiff.”

The Shaggy Wolf Cut at Paris Couture Week

“The wolf cut can vary from super short to long hair, but I prefer it when it's done on mid-length or short hair,” Cavalcante says. This particular example merges a chin-length bob with some subtle shag for a cut that is ideal for summer.

The Beginner-Friendly Wolf Cut at Paris Couture Week

If you’re contemplating a wolf cut, but aren’t quite sure if you’re ready for a big chop, ease into the experience. Styling will be a bit more labor-intensive with a longer wolf cut, but the grunge aesthetic can remain. “You can use a round brush and blow dryer, rotating the brush inwards when drying hair to show off the layers and create the shaggy look people like,” says Cavalcante. “Add some salt spray for texture, and you will be ready to go.”

The Boldest Wolf Cut at Paris Couture Week

If you really want to make a statement, get a wolf cut—and dye your hair a fun color. Pinky peach tones are trending right now and look flattering across skin tones.

The Textured Wolf Cut at Paris Couture Week

“Most hair types and textures can pull off this style, but it's important to consider the specific characteristics of each,” explains Cavalcante. “For coily hair, you’ll have a different effect, one with more flow and shorter layers to complement the natural hair texture.” Make sure you use a humidity-fighting curl cream for best results.

For the start of basking on a yacht season—that is, summer—celebrities have crowned vintage (or vintage-inspired) scarves their must-pack hair accessory. In Mallorca, Kendall Jenner wrapped her dark brown hair in a floral scarf to accentuate a teeny-tiny string bikini and oval sunglasses. Back in the States, Beyoncé sipped rosé on a Hamptons boat ride in a little white dress, white hair scarf, and white Miu Miu sunglasses. In between trips, stars like Kaia Gerber and Olivia Rodrigo have gone glamorously incognito with floral and dotted bandanas tied over their hair and beneath their chins. Carpenter also wore the same accessory in her music video for the smash-hit "Espresso," paired with a matching swimsuit just like her Paris runway walk.

There's a little bit of function in folding a scarf along the diagonal and fixing it over a low bun or loose curls. But this is a hair moment that's more about the luxury aura than taming flyaways, based on how each one is carefully coordinated with the rest of a capital-L Look. Forget a baseball cap or a simple headband: These do the same job, but with panache. I think a Marie Claire coworker speaks for everyone when she reacts to these photos with, "The vibes are immaculate."

In a way, the trend is harkening back to Hollywood's golden age of travel style. Before celebrities jet-setted in Alo Yoga leggings and Emi Jay claw clips, they protected their hair against wind on the Pacific Coast Highway or the walkway to their Pan-Am flight with tightly-tied silk scarves. Forever mood board fixtures like Audrey Hepburn and Katharine Hepburn, as well as '50s and '60s stars including Sophia Loren and Joan Collins, were photographed constantly in the demure scarves the likes of Dua Lipa and Lana del Rey are wearing now. In either era, they're paired with sharp cat-eye sunglasses and a slightly aloof attitude.

Flash forward to the present: Printed and silk scarves aren't just co-starring in celebrities' vacation Instagrams. They're also a fixture in everyday street style—particularly alongside the French Girl updos of Couture Week—elevating easy summer outfits from T-shirts and slip skirts to confectionary off-the-shoulder dresses. Some have tags from Hermès; others are under-$20 Etsy finds. And on TikTok, plenty of intrepid hairfluencers will show you exactly how to tie them.

The real beauty of tying on an Old Hollywood hair scarf is that it's a quick hairstyle with instantly glamorous results, no matter where you're wearing it. But if you're planning to pull your hair back in silk on the prow of a yacht docked in Montauk, invite me next time.

But a new French girl-approved beauty trend emerged during the height of Paris Couture Week. Updos of the easiest, most laid-back variety made their way onto every hair type and length. “Trend-wise, we’re seeing a lot of slicked-back braided buns or tussled ponytails, adding some accessories for detail,” says hairstylist Deana Saldiran. “There are messy chignons with curtain bangs that are simply yet impactfully sexy.”

While en route to sit at Schiaparelli, Balenciaga, or Dior, fashion girls filled the city streets with endless summer hair inspiration. Given the heat, having an off-the-neck, quick hairstyle is a practical decision. But these French girl updos also permit an infusion of personal style. Low-hanging chignons were embellished with floral appliqués. Pearls made their way onto barrettes, adorning half-up hairstyles. Heavy-set bangs complemented Arianna Grande-esque ponytails.

To get summer hair inspiration straight from the streets of Paris—and learn how to DIY French Girls' current favorite trend—read ahead. Saldiran, along with hairstylist Olivia Thompson, are sharing everything you need to know.

Paris Couture Week Updo Inspiration

Coquette-Core

Infuse a bit of the girlhood aesthetic into a simple slicked-back bun by popping a clip-in bow onto a low-hanging braided chignon. You'll want the look clean, crisp, and flyaway free, so it serves as a nice juxtaposition to a frilly accessory. "My go-to product for a sleek bun is the Got2b gel and hairspray," says Saldiran. "Use small rubber bands for a super easy look."

Sleek Sophistication

While we've historically seen the "clean girl" slicked-back bun with a center part, Paris Couture Week appears to be in favor of straight-back buns. This style works well with bang hairstyles, too. Just add some volumizing hairspray to your fringe, and sweep the rest of your hair into a chignon.

Scunchie Season

Easily my personal favorite updo inspiration to come out of Paris is this heavily accessorized ballerina bun. Not only is it incredibly simple to recreate (just grab a scrunchie and some floral pins), but it also instantly elevates an understated outfit.

Halfway There

I've been a wear-my-hair-down girl for my entire life, so I understand that a full blown updo can be a bit intimidating. Enter: the half-up, half-down hairstyle. Slick back all the hair that falls above the ear, and secure it into a bun or ponytail. It's an easy way to get in on the trend (and hair out of your face), without full updo commitment.

Partless Ponytail

Some hair gel and a ponytail are really all you need to recreate this Parisian hairstyle. It works with any hair type or length—and is easy to personalize. Add in little bows, barrettes, headbands, or ribbons.

All About Edges

A zig-zag part and swirled edges make a stylish combination—just look at the above street style photo. You'll want some heavy duty hair gel and boar bristle brush to execute this look. But once you have your tools at the ready, it's incredibly easy to pull together.
