Quiet luxury had a beautiful run in 2023, but the mob wife aesthetic has entered the style group chat and is telling everyone their days of embracing side character energy is over. When I think of this trend, I can picture Elvira Hancock from Scarface and Carmela Soprano from The Sopranos in all of their glamorous glory. Also, while she may not have been a mob wife exactly, we can't forget Fran Drescher's style in The Nanny— her gaudy and expressive style continues to have impactful influence.
While I'll never suggest your lifestyle has to mirror the mob wife aesthetic, I do have a few tricks up my sleeve that'll help you effortlessly embody it.
Mob Wife Aesthetic — Coats
Alice + Olivia Jarrett Vegan Leather Maxi Coat
The first unofficial rule of this trend is to make sure your winter coats are top tier. You'll want to go for a classic silhouette — similar to this vegan leather maxi coat — that makes a subtle statement. I've found that hunter green coats serve as a great neutral for just about anything in your closet so you can't go wrong with this!
Nasty Gal Raw Denim Oversized Trench Coat
For something that's the perfect mix of casual and edgy, this denim oversized trench coat will get the job done. It's a gentle nod to the mob wife aesthetic that's sure to elevate your outfits.
Nasty Gal Premium Bonded Faux Leather Borg Maxi Aviator Jacket
Should you want something that feels more casual without skimping on style, this maxi aviator jacket is an option you'll love wearing.
Mob Wife Aesthetic — Blazers
Michael Michael Kors Metallic Tweed Jacket
One of the best parts about the mob wife aesthetic are the cute blazers you get to wear. This metallic tweed jacket can be worn with a pair of tailored trousers or straight leg jeans if you're headed to brunch during the day.
ALESSANDRA RICH Zebra-Printed Cotton Blazer
Make a statement with this zebra print blazer! You may even stop traffic because it commands attention.
Alexia Admor Olya Notch Lapel Belted Blazer
Ah, here's another gorgeous green number that lets people know that you're standing on business despite how chic you may look.
Mob Wife Aesthetic — Blouses
Lulu's Black Chiffon Top
Thanks to the mob wives aesthetic, this is the year your closet will have a few more blouses added to it.
Banana Republic Crinkle Volume-Sleeve Blouse
If the thought of wearing chiffon makes you shudder, you can wear this volume-sleeve blouse.
Alice + Olivia Finely Open Back Button Blouse
I'm a huge fan of blouses that have the "business in the front, party in the back" detail like Alice + Olivia's design.
Mob Wife Aesthetic — Skirts
H&M Knit A-line Mini Skirt
Keep it cute and chic with this knit A-line mini skirt.
Vince Leather Straight Skirt (Hickory)
Or, bring the drama with a midi leather skirt that has the mob wife aesthetic written all over it.
Meshki Mura Pleated Mini Skirt (Lemon)
For a playful look, pair this pleated mini skirt with a cute blazer or knit sweater.
Mob Wife Aesthetic — Dresses
Hutch Asymmetrical Lace Mix Slip Dress
This lace slip dress has enough sex appeal for the both of us!
Reformation Felda Dress (Leo)
Whether you're dining at the most popular Italian restaurant in town or heading straight to a blues club, this dress falls in line with the mob wife aesthetic.
Reformation Irisa Dress (Grand Dame)
I can see it now — you wearing this dress with a cute cardigandraped over your shoulders.
Mob Wife Aesthetic — Tights
Calzedonia Tulle 40 Dernier Lace Ruffle Thigh Highs
I highly recommend that you consider pairing these tights with the above Reformation Irisa dress!
Spanx Plush Tummy Shaping Tights
However, you can a touch of mystery to your mob wife aesthetic by wearing tights that aren't sheer.
Wolford Josey Tights
Your expressive outfit won't be complete without these leopard print tights from Wolford!
Merjuri Easy Huggie Hoops
If you have multiple ear piercings, Merjuri's gold hoops are a quaint accessory that's still on par with this fun trend.
Kendra Scott Mikki Pave Huggie Earrings in Gold
Another option is to wear a pair of small hoop earrings that are encrusted with gems.
Mob Wife Aesthetic — Bracelets
Baublebar Melissa Cuff Bracelet
Let your wrist do the talking with Baublebar's gold cuff bracelet.
Ross-Simons 18kt Gold Over Sterling Jewelry Set: Three Bolo Bracelets
Break out this 18kt gold bracelet set for during date night.
Jessica Simpson Brykia Boot (Malbec)
If you have a Merlot-colored coat at home, wear it with this pointed-toe boot.
Gianni Bini x Nastia Liukin Parker Crocodile Embossed Leather Tall Boots
Crocodile embossed boots are the thing to wear if you still want to turn heads in a toned down outfit.
Mob Wife Aesthetic — Heels
Christian Louboutin So Kate Patent Pointed-Toe Red Sole Pump
The mob wives aesthetic is practically begging for you to have at least one pair of significant black pumps.
Public Desire Legacy Gold Croc Barely There Pointed Toe Stiletto Heels
However, glamour is on the other line and it wants you to throw caution to the wind by wearing gold heels.
Sam Edelman Hazel Pointed Toe Pump (Brown Brahma)
If the rest of your outfit is starting to feel like quiet luxury, slip into these brown and cream patterned pumps to wake it up.

There are two things I know for sure: Ken loves Barbie, and Ryan Gosling loves Eva Mendes. The couple met on the movie set for The Place Beyond the Pines in 2011, and have created such a beautiful life together! Eva's just as excited for the Christmas remix of "I'm Just Ken" as we are, and Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes' constant support of one another is making us think back on all their cutest moments.
A Full Timeline Of Ryan Gosling And Eva Mendes' Relationship

August 2011 — Ryan Gosling And Eva Mendes Meet During The Place Beyond The Pines
Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes took a chance at romance after they played a couple in 2011's The Place Beyond The Pines. Once they were linked, they were seen walking around Disneyland "like a dating couple, [walking] very closely, holding hands and their arms touching side-by-side," according to a PEOPLE eyewitness.

November + December 2011 — Ryan Gosling And Eva Mendes Spend The Holidays Together
During Thanksgiving in 2011, Eva Mendes was filming Holly Motors in Paris, so Ryan Gosling took a trip to the City of Lights so they could spend the holiday together. They also ended up going on Funny or Die's Drunk History Christmas the next month to reenact a 21+ version of The Night Before Christmas *and* spent New Year's together!

To promote The Place Beyond the Pines, Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes spent a lot of time together on the TIFF red carpet. Years later in 2019, when Kelly Clarkson pulled up the picture, Eva couldn't help but gush over Ryan — especially since they hadn't announced they were dating at the time. “Oh my God, that’s so old," she says of the photo. "That’s literally me going, ‘I’m not in love with him. What? I’m not in love.’ ‘Cause we were trying to be very professional."

May 2014 — Ryan Gosling And Eva Mendes Work Together On Lost River
Ryan and Eva reunited on a film set again for Lost River, which was both Ryan's directorial debut and served as a semi-autobiographical story for him. "For me, it was crucial to work in this intimate, low-budget, small way, with people I had worked with before, because I feel like in my experience that’s where everyone was at their best," Ryan tells Sunday Style (via Mangalorean). "They know what is at stake for you personally, and all the work that’s gone into getting there."
Eva also told her Instagram followers in a since-deleted postthat Lost River is the project she's most proud of. "There was one film I'm extra proud to be a part of," she said. "A dark fairy tale. A magical fantasy. To all the struggling single mothers, to all of us in cities that feel like they're burning down or flooding around us, to everyone fighting for the ones they love, this was a good one."

September 12, 2014 — Eva Mendes Gives Birth To Their First Child

"I was lucky enough to work my bum off for 20 years," she tells Nova 96.9's Fitzy & Wippa (via PEOPLE). "I never wanted babies before until I fell in love with Ryan, and it kind of worked out to where I was 40 and having my first baby. I think I was 42 for the second one, so it worked out in that way that I had a career and then I change my focus to my family."
Ryan also went on to tell GQ in 2023 that he was in a similar place before meeting Eva. "I wasn’t thinking about kids before I met her, but after I met Eva, I realized that I just didn’t want to have kids without her," he says. "And there were moments on The Place Beyond the Pines where we were pretending to be a family, and I didn’t really want it to be pretend anymore." I could cry!!

Through gentle reminders, Desi's mom helps her understand that being afraid is normal and teaches her how not to let scary thoughts control her.

She also says she's “so lucky” to “have this time with [their] children.”
“I have never experienced anything like [working with Ryan Gosling].

Eva Mendes is not here for the mom-shamers. She told People (in honor of its 2024 Beautiful Issue) that staying home to focus on Ryan Gosling and her kids was the "easiest decision I've ever made" because she wanted to be there for their formative childhood years.
"When I was 40, it was a big deal for people when I was pregnant, and it wasn't for me," she says. "And then I was 42 and I was pregnant with my second one and people were like, 'Oh my God, you're going to be so tired. That's why people have kids in their 20s.' I was like, that's the most sorry, asinine thing I've ever heard."
"[Ryan supports me] in all the ways I need to be supported," she continues. "He's got me in all the ways."

Thanks to Challengers and The Watchers, I can already tell 2024 is going to be a year of shocking movies (and shockingly good movies), and that trend is going to continue thanks to Verity & Colleen Hoover. While It Ends With Us might be the most popular Colleen Hoover book, Verity is arguably the craziest, and The Hollywood Reporter just confirmed that a movie is officially in development! While we wait for more news, browse the Colleen Hoover merch you can wear to opening night ;).
Is there a movie about the book Verity?
Image via Amazon
Yes, a movie based on Colleen Hoover's Verity is officially on the way! The movie's in development at Amazon MGM Studios (the studio behind Florence Pugh's A Good Person and Zendaya's Challengers). Hillary Seitz is currently writing the script for the film, and Eat the Cat's Nick Antosca and Alex Hedlund are producing.
What is Verity about?
Image via Vlada Karpovich/Pexels
In Verity by Colleen Hoover, Lowen Ashleigh is a writer struggling to make ends meet. That is, until she's offered the job of a lifetime by Jeremy, husband to the ultimate it-girl author, Verity Crawford. The thriller writer is no longer able to finish the remaining books in her series, and Jeremy wants Lowen to pick up where she left off. While Lowen is over the moon to step in (both into the job and their huge family estate), a secret manuscript and family secrets lead Lowen to realize Verity's hiding a lot more than she's letting on. B+C editor Haley Sprankle says this is one of the craziest books she's ever read, and I know this is definitely going to be one of the craziest movies we've seen!
Who's in the Verity cast?
Image via Mike Coppola/Jon Kopaloff/Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images
Since the movie is just now in development, we don't have an official Verity cast list yet. But considering It Ends With Us is starring beloved actors like Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni, and Jenny Slate, I'm confident the cast of Verity will feature some incredible names.
Popular fancasts for Verity include You's Victoria Pedretti or The White Lotus' Alexandra Diddario as Lowen, Rosamund Pike or Margot Robbie as Verity, and Shia LaBeouf or Theo James as Jeremy. Without a doubt, the cast of Verity needs to be warm and welcoming at first glance, but also have an unexpected edge that reveals itself as we move through the story.
One Reddit user points out that the characters need to offer "just toxicity but also feigned innocence," and each of these actors do exactly that, which makes them incredible picks for the movie. If Blake wasn't already in It Ends With Us, I know she'd do a great job because she proved her thriller acting chops in A Simple Favor!
When did Verity come out?
Image via Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for TIME
Colleen Hoover self-published Verity in 2018, and in 2021, the book was acquired by Grand Central Publishing. It sold more than one million copies in 2023, and has more than 340 thousand Amazon ratings and over two million Goodreads ratings. Talk about a hit!
What movie is similar to the book Verity?
Image via Lionsgate
If you love thriller books like Verity, then I'd recommend checking out other relationship-centric thrillers like Gone Girl, Rebecca, and A Simple Favor. For period drama fans, I cannot recommend Will Poulter and Lucy Boynton's Why Didn't They Ask Evans enough!
Follow us on TikTok and YouTube for the latest entertainment updates, and check back here for new info on Verity & Colleen Hoover's other books!

Personal style is personal for a reason. Whatever you wear is a complete reflection of who you are, and this is especially true for what shoes you slip into every day. Everyone’s got their go-to sandals, but sneakers are an entirely different game, I tell ya.
If your fave footwear brand is New Balance and you just so happen to be in the market for some squeaky-clean sneaks, I’ve basically done all the research for you to help you find your perfect pair. This list of the most popular New Balance sneakers details not only each style’s practicality, but their personality, too.
Ahead, find your perfect New Balance sneakers – based on your vibes!
New Balance 9060: The ‘Fit Flexer
If you just can’t resist dressing to the nines every single day, the New Balance 9060s will fit right into your fashionista flair.
These “proudly futuristic” New Balance sneakers deliver on Y2K aesthetics beyond compare. The wider base is reminiscent of Nike Shox – very tech-y and otherworldly. The upper part is made from mesh and suede, supplying a super elevated vibe.
The white and cream white coloration is so easy to pair with most every ‘fit. They’ll match with cargo pants, vintage jeans, or even mini skirts and denim shorts.
Reviewers of the New Balance 9060 are glad they invested in this $150 shoe because it's so versatile.
One reviewer toted the 9060’s for fitting into “all aspects” of their lifestyle. Another said that the arch supports “unreal,” so though they’re more fashion-forward than other New Balance kicks, they’re still uber-comfortable for a range of activities.
New Balance 990: The Thrift Shopper
The New Balance 990s are straight-up dad sneakers to the core, so if you gravitate towards the thrift store (or all things vintage-y), you’ll find that they go swimmingly with most outfits and will stand up to long thrift trips.
While they were originally manufactured for running (and they still are), the 990s scream streetwear to me. They appear more elevated than your average athletic running shoe, thanks to the smooth pigskin and fine mesh.
The inside is fitted with a bouncy FuelCell midsole cushioning, and the shoe is available in 4 different widths. The range!
The New Balance 990s are very similar to the New Balance 993s, which is less performance-based.
New Balance 574 Core: The Weekend Warrior
Whether you're hitting the club or the farmer’s market on the weekends, you want to be comfortable (I mean, who doesn't?). The New Balance 574 Cores are made for the weekend warriors.
New Balance describes this signature shoe as “uncomplicated, rugged, durable, and comfortable.”
Though the 574s are pretty basic, they’re earned themselves icon status. You’re sure to see at least one pair when you go out.
The outer layer is made from suede and mesh materials dotted with 100% recycled polyester details.
New Balance 550: The Sneakerhead
These New Balance sneakers aren’t just black and white. They’re “sea salt” with “gray matter” and “magnet.” So yeah, if you consider yourself overly particular about your sneakers, the New Balance 550s are the shoe for you.
These were revived from the late 80’s and early 90’s then re-released full-time in 2021, and they’ve been a modern fan-favorite ever since.
The flatter soles on these sneaks mean they’re not as practical for running or walking long distances, but since they have a history with basketball, you might be able to rock ‘em on the court. More than anything, they definitely give basketball vibes, which is perfect for any streetwear ensemble.
The mixed materials and chunky approach to the classic New Balance logo give these an unmistakable air.
According to New Balance, these best fit people with an average arch height. The thick sole and cushy ankle padding work the hardest to support your feet, rather than an arched insole.
New Balance 530: The Gym-Goer
The New Balance 530s are giving Erewhon baddie. They’re giving I drink smoothies for breakfast. They’re giving I live and breathe pilates.
The stark white colorway of these sneakers reminds me of the clean girl aesthetic, and they’re so pretty, you may have a hard time getting them dirty.
Though very stylish on the outside, it’s what’s on the inside that counts with the New Balance 530s. They’re fitted with an ample midsole section that cushions and compresses your step.New Balance Fresh Foam: The 10K Steps A Day-er
For the more athletic among us (hello, hot girl walks!), the New Balance Fresh Foam sneakers are the way to go. They’re designed especially for walking and running, so you can count on them to be comfy.
They have an extra-soft cushioning for a cozy step, and every aspect of the footbed is intended to stabilize the foot.
This shoe especially supports walkers or runners with the tendency to step heel first, a bonus co-signed by the American Podiatric Medical Association – this pair received their Seal of Acceptance.
The upper part of the shoe is made of mesh, so it’s highly breathable, even on hot days. They’re great for high arches, too!
