Cardi B may like those Balenciagas, the ones that look like socks, but she, too, enjoys a good bargain. Her deal is our gain, because the rapper found the perfect summer dress at Target—and you can still buy the exact style online.
On Sunday, Cardi celebrated the release of her latest collaboration—”Who Wants the Smoke,” with Lil’ Yachty and Offset—by posting a video of herself rapping along to the lyrics on social media. In case you missed it, here’s the clip.
In it, she’s wearing an on-trend, smocked-top, off-the-shoulder floral maxi dress. And inquiring minds—specifically, fans on Twitter—wanted to know: Where did she get it?
Ask and ye shall receive, because benevolent queen Cardi responded: “Target.”
And this is no ordinary Target find—the floor-length style, by Xhilaration, is actually a clearance item. It’s currently selling for—get this—$20.98 on Target’s website. It comes in two colors, and is still available in sizes XS through XXL.

Fans were feeling—and relating to—Cardi’s purchase.
Time and time again, Cardi B has proven that just because she makes “money move” doesn’t mean she needs to blow big bucks on her wardrobe. (She described this to Apple Music Beats 1 as what she believed to be the secret for “how rich people like me stay rich.”) Plus, she’s one of the biggest spokespeople for fast-fashion retailer FashionNova, with whom she collaborated on a capsule collection set to debut later this year.
Hey, she could buy designer—but this Target maxi fit. If you, too, would like the $21 style, you can shop Cardi’s find on Target.com.

Bridal lingerie can be broken down into two categories: what you wear underneath your wedding day look, and what you change into afterwards.
“Brides are either looking for solution pieces to go under the dress, or for gorgeous sets for the honeymoon and time thereafter,” explains Lyn Lewis, CEO of Journelle. The handful of delicates worn before the festivities begin—silk robes, chemises, camis, and so forth—also fall into this category. The way you shop for each of these, though, can be quite different: “As gowns have become less structured, what one wears [underneath] is often nude, very simple, and shaping,” says Emily Bendell, founder of Bluebella, differentiating that from the “beautiful, ivory, and lacy” pieces some change into afterwards. “I tell brides to separate out in their minds their dream wedding dress and their dream wedding lingerie,” she adds, since usually “one [isn’t] worn with the other.”
“Bridal lingerie customers are usually very traditional—people really want romance and softness,” Helena Stuart of Only Hearts tells Glamour. When it comes to shopping for those special pieces, she applies the same philosophy she uses for everyday undergarments: “Comfort first.” Plus, if you’re into the idea of bridal lingerie, she recommends buying pieces to be worn over a few days, for a very clever reason—”most brides think only of their wedding night, but often newlyweds are too wiped out to really enjoy it.”
This particular type of lingerie isn’t one that’s necessarily touched by trends. According to Stuart, it’s “still very classic and traditional”—though, you’ll see designer play with silhouettes and fabrics. (“What I’m enjoying right now is an interest in simpler shapes, cut from quality materials,” she adds.) But that’s part of what makes it special, argues Sandra Rose, Head of Merchandising, Planning, and Product Development at Journelle: “What makes bridal lingerie so fun is that it’s not always subject to the broader trends taking hold in the intimates world. It’s all about finding something special for the bride-to-be; something that makes her feel her most beautiful on her special day.”
There has been some innovation in bridal lingerie design: Lewis believes it’s “getting more modern—we used to see mostly feminine cuts and silhouettes, and there are still many great options options of this ilk, [but] now there are also lingerie pieces in bridal white that are modern or more whimsical.”
Customers are looking for alternatives, too. “I feel that people are moving away from traditional silk styles [and] are looking something more fresh, contemporary that suits today’s modern woman,” notes Ela Onour of Else. “The fabrics are lighter, more comfortable, and the styles enhance natural shapes rather than being padded and heavy.” She highlights the rise of longline silhouettes and bodysuits over the traditional strapless bra as an example. The latter in particular is a good option for someone who wants to stray from textbook notions about bridal lingerie, and go for something you can wear in a variety of scenarios—Heidi Zak of ThirdLove suggests “[wearing] it with a skirt for the rehearsal dinner” or “[packing] it for the honeymoon,” since it’s “equal parts lingerie and layer.”
And it might not be a bad idea to think beyond your wedding itinerary while you’re shopping for these special pieces—in fact, Bendell encourages brides to think beyond the ceremony and honeymoon because, “if you’re treating yourself to beautiful lingerie, choose something you can wear again—[something] romantic and beautiful that doesn’t only scream ‘bride’.”
If you, too, are looking for bridal lingerie that’s special and cool, but doesn’t feel too precious, check out our picks in the gallery ahead.

I love wearing heels—I love the extra height, the way they elevate a simple summer dress… What I don’t love are the blisters, sore arches, and other pains that come with wearing them for eight hours straight. Every time I kick off a particularly ache-inducing pair, I vow to never, ever wears heels again. That “promise” never lasts long, though. And luckily, I’ve learned that there are a few key elements that separate the comfy heels from the ones that make you curse the day you bought them.
The first (and most obvious) is heel height: the lower the heel, the less weight is forced onto the ball of your foot. The second is the width of the heel—an often overlooked detail that can make a big difference; seek out a stacked style that supports the lower part of your foot. Lastly, find styles that have multiple straps across the toe, arch, and ankle; multiple straps, like the Raye pair from Revolve I picked in the roundup ahead, will give your foot and ankle more stability so you aren’t wobbling around.
You don’t have to sacrifice style for comfort—so long as you know what to look for. Ahead, you’ll find 30 pairs of walkable, summer-ready heels that will support you when you have places to be. Your toes will thank you.

There’s something about summertime that makes the appeal of nostalgic fashion even stronger. (“Summer Hits of the ’90s” Pandora station, anyone?) The warm weather and longer daylight hours lead us back to some of the beloved staples of yore—and for the summer of 2018, it’s all about the miniskirt. Think of the A-line styles of sixties London, or the pleated and plaid ones of Clueless-era L.A. teens: These silhouettes have been brought back and reinvented by contemporary labels like Reformation and Sara Battaglia and on the runway at Miu Miu, Sonia Rykiel, and Alexander Wang, among others. Whether you’re more of a Twiggy than a Cher Horowitz, there are plenty of miniskirt options available to you in 2018, all of which are primed for the summer months ahead. From denim to plaid to baby florals, choose your own sartorial adventure, ahead.
