Geometric Glasses Are All the Rage Thanks to Ali Wong In "Beef"

Ali Wong, hilarious comedian and glasses-wearer, stars in Netflix's latest original series, Beef. The show follows two strangers who get into a road rage incident that brings chaos into their lives, but that's not what we're here for — we've got our eye on the fabulous octagonal frames Wong wore throughout the show! As a staff full of glasses-wearing girlies, we can't get enough of this statement look! Unfortunately, this unique pair is nowhere to be found, so we've gathered options for you to get your own pair of geometric frames (because ICYMI, we're over buying boring glasses). Check 'em out and add to cart!

Beef has a lot going on (like a lot), but the one thing people can't get enough of are Wong's incredible eyewear. Fans tracked down the brand Wong wears on the show, but not the exact pair. Plus, even though we think they're so pretty, they're also a *pretty* expensive brand.

Luckily, we've tracked down similar styles for less money, so you don't have to. Here are the latest and greatest in fashionable glasses, so you can rock it like Wong!

Rayban Octagon 1972 Blue-Light Clear Glasses ($163)

Perfect for anyone without a prescription, these blue-light glasses totally encapsulate the 70s vibe we're loving lately (hello, crotchet).

Image via YesGlasses

YesGlasses Hipster Geometric Color-Edged Rimless Glasses ($89)

The black and gold contrast with this pair from YesGlasses totally make a statement, but the thin frames don't overpower your face. IMO, these are the glasses Harry Potter's cooler older sister would wear.

eyebuydirect Imagine Glasses ($42)

We're definitely channeling our inner Ali Wong with this pair. They look almost exactly the same, but in silver and for about 10% of the cost!

Image via Zenni Optical

Zenni Brown/Blue Geometric Glasses ($28)

Now THESE have a perfect pop of color. Toss this Zenni pair on when you really wanna make your mark.

TIJN Duncan Glasses

The subtle tortoise shell on this pair is so stylish! Plus, these give off twenty-something twee hipster in a coffee shop vibes...and we love it. 🤓

In our (totally unbiased) opinion, bold glasses are here to stay. BRB while we go hit up our local opticians!

Summer is incomplete without a good pair of shorts that you can pull on for any given occasion – evening strolls, happy hours, farmer’s markets, and the like. But sometimes, the major struggle is finding a shorts style that feels and looks good (chafing is absolutely not the move). Luckily, Abercrombie & Fitch has so many cute shorts that aren’t a literal pain in the butt.

Abercrombie & Fitch is currently having a sale on all of their shorts! Here are the details:

  • Dates: May 10-13
  • Deals: 25% off ALL shorts, plus 15% off everything else (like dresses, jeans, tops, and more)
  • Stackable promo code: ‘AFSHORTS’ for an additional 15% off

We love A&F because of their versatile styles and their very impressive size range. They have a plethora of materials to shop from, including denim, linen, and fleecy lounge shorts. These are our favorite styles for summertime!

Denim Shorts

High Rise Dad Shorts

Dad shorts are an anti-chafing hero – this pair in particular boasts a longer hem than your usual denim shorts. The inseam measures about 5 inches, so you have more coverage! These A&F shorts are made to have a relaxed fit throughout the hips and thighs. We adore this light denim wash, but you can also shop these shorts in 8 other colors.

The High Rise Dad Shorts are shoppable in sizes 23-37 on sale for $52.50 (was $70).

Curve Love High Rise Dad Shorts

You can also shop A&F's dad shorts in the brand's Curve Love silhouette, which is made with an additional 2 inches through the hips and thighs to help eliminate gapping. Trust us, we know the pain of shorts not fitting right, which is why these pieces are so great!

The Curve Love High Rise Dad Shorts are shoppable in sizes 23-37 on sale for $48.75 (was $65).

Mid Rise 10" Loose Shorts

Long bermuda shorts like these seem to be another emerging denim trend for 2024. They look so chic with other summer capsule wardrobe staples like laid-back sandals and basic tank tops! Abercrombie & Fitch knows what's up, and this mid-rise number is perfectly on-trend. The inseam lands around 10 inches, with a loose fit all around the legs. You'll totally appreciate the additional length for comfort reasons!

The Mid Rise 10" Loose Shorts are currently available in sizes 30-33 on sale for $52.50 (was $70).

High Rise Loose Shorts

We truly cannot resist a high waist! While other shorts may fit snug against your figure, these let loose a bit for maximum breathability and comfort. The high rise still compliments your waistline, too. They're crafted from a vintage stretch denim material that moves with you, but still retains a bit of structure.

The High Rise Loose Shorts are shoppable in three other colors and sizes 23-37 on sale for $52.50 (was $70).

High Rise Mom Shorts

Mom shorts will never go out of style, in our opinion. A&F champions this timeless style with a super high-rise waist, 2.5 inch inseam, and a classic cuffed hem. The denim material that swarms these shorts is considerably stretchy, which is a massive perk for tackling the hot summer weather.

The High Rise Mom Shorts are also available in the Curve Love style, which accounts for 2 extra inches in the hips and thighs to fit your curves the right way. This style is available in sizes 23-37 on sale for $48.75 (was $65).

Curve Love High Rise 90s Cutoff Shorts

White shorts are a quintessential vacation piece, and these ones made in a 90's-inspired silhouette just can't be beat. The loose-fitting leg and 3.25-inch inseam allow for freedom of movement, whether you're walking, standing, or sitting down. The waistline fits you in a subtle v-shape, flatting your figure instantly.

The Curve Love High Rise 90s Cutoff Shorts are shoppable in 3 other colors and sizes 23-37 on sale for $48.75 (was $65).

Linen Shorts

Linen-Blend Pull-On Shorts

Linen shorts are so much more fuss-free than denim ones, but they can look just as put-together and elevated. Case in point: these pull-on linen shorts! The elastic high-waist pulls things together (without any buttons, no less!) and makes getting ready a total breeze. The inseam falls at about 3.5 inches, plus this cutie style has pockets!

The Linen-Blend Pull-On Shorts come in 9 other colors and patterns in sizes XXS-XXL on sale now for $37.50 (was $50).

Premium Linen Scallop-Hem Tailored Shorts

These scalloped shorts with an elastic waistband look like the perfect summer uniform, TBH. Their 100% linen construction means otherworldly breathability, especially when it feels like a million degrees out. A&F even sells coordinating linen tops if you want to step out in a matching set.

The Premium Linen Scallop-Hem Tailored Shorts are shoppable in three other trendy colors and sizes 23-37 on sale now for $52.50 (was $70).

Curve Love A&F Sloane Tailored Linen-Blend Shorts

Though these high-rise linen shorts lack some pretty cool scallops like the previous pair, their waistline pleats and sophisticated belt loops are everything. They're giving office chic in the best way possible! The generous 4.5 inch amps up the comfort levels of these shorts with ease, but the details from the cuffed hem to the seamless pockets make them a bit more luxe.

The Curve Love A&F Sloane Tailored Linen-Blend Shorts are shoppable in sizes 23-37 on sale now for $52.50 (was $70).

Lounge Shorts

Vintage Sunday Shorts

The Vintage Sunday Shorts boast a thick, durable fleece material that feels oh-so luxurious – even if you're just wearing them for a session of rotting on the couch. The wide, elastic high-rise waistband is fitted with drawstrings so you can find your perfect fit. These A&F shorts come prepared with two side pockets to hold your phone and/or your fave lip balm!

The Vintage Sunday Shorts come in 7 other fun colors and sizes XXS-XL on sale for $37.50 (was $50).

YPB neoKNIT Unlined Shorts

These short-shorts lean more athletic, but they work just as well for lazy weekends. They're made from a sweat-wicking neoprene material, making for exceptionally light and breathable wear. The curved bottom hem grants you more mobility, too. Plus, there's pockets!

The YPB neoKNIT Unlined Shorts are shoppable in 2 other colors and sizes XXS-XXL on sale for $30 (was $40).

A Cinderella Story isn't just a movie — it's honestly a cultural moment. The costume montage, the spastic colons and synchronized swimming, the rain in this drought... even Gavin Degraw singing over the One Tree Hilltrailer on the DVD stand out! Everything about this film is iconically ingrained in our collective conscious, making Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray the Y2k blueprint for many of the "It" pairings we know and love today.

We last left our Princeton royalty preparing for their freshman year of college, dreaming of happily-ever-after — or at least graduation — and that was that! But in this era of reboots, I've often wondered what happened to our OG tortured poets after the credits rolled. Luckily, I'm not the only one! Chad Michael Murray just tee'd up a sequel, and yes that's me you hear squealing right now. Here's everything we know about what's to come for everyone's fave modern fairytale!

Is there a part two to a Cinderella story?

Photo via Warner Bros Entertainment Inc

There's Another Cinderella Story, starring Selena Gomez and Drew Seeley, but that's more so a part of a series of "Cinderella stories" rather than an actual sequel. So far, we haven't gotten a follow-up on our Princeton-bound faves.

Has "A Cinderella Story 2" been announced?

There's been no formal announcement yet, but that doesn't mean all hope is lost. During his press tour for Mother of the Bride, Chad Michael Murray told ETthat he's definitely interested in bringing Austin Ames back. He said that even his daughter told him, "You need to make another one of these, Daddy," after she watched A Cinderella Story for the first time.

His response to the idea? "Here you go, Hil. From me to you, let's do it!" — referring to Hilary Duff, of course! The timing couldn't be better either, given that Hilary just gave birth to her fourth child and could hypothetically be available to film in the coming months...just saying!

Again, there's no official information about this project yet, but with a main piece of the puzzle on board, we're one step closer to my own personal happily-ever-after — a real sequel to A Cinderella Story once and for all.

TV moms have a way of making us cringe, cry, laugh and think. Whether they were outright power moms and #girlbosses or reserved forces of nature, each of the most recognizable matriarchs had their own way of teaching us some pretty valuable lessons and, more importantly, showing us that parents are people too. Plus, they make us love our own moms even more than we already do! With so many of our favorite shows coming to an end, let's take a quick look back on 15 TV moms who kept it real week after week. Once you're done reading, check out 26 Make-Ahead Recipes For A Perfect Mother's Day Brunch!

Brit + Co's Best TV Moms

Image via ABC

Meredith Grey, Grey's Anatomy

If you're a fan of Grey's Anatomy, then you know that Meredith is many things. Beyond a talented surgeon and COVID-19/drowning/shooting/physical attack/bomb/hemorrhaging during an emergency C-section without power survivor, she is also an incredible mom. She always fought for her kids, and despite everything going on in her life she always thought of them whenever decisions had to be made. And we love her!!

Image via 20th Television/Disney–ABC Domestic Television

Rainbow Johnson, Black-ish

She’s a doctor AND mother of five — need we say more? Rainbow “Bow” is a modern-day Clair Huxtable, a straight-shooter with a light and fun attitude. She keeps her kids and husband Andre "Dre" in their places while encouraging their growth, and coupled with her caring parenting style makes her a great mom role model.

Image via WB/CW/Warner Bros. Television Distribution

Lorelai Gilmore, Gilmore Girls

The junk food loving, free-spirited Lorelai Gilmore fast-talked her way from Stars Hollow into everyone's hearts as the complicated, yet lovable mom to Rory. She gave amazing advice wrapped in a punchline and taught us all that the best thing you can be is authentic to yourself.

Image via CBC Television

Moira Rose, Schitt's Creek

Is Moira Rose the most attentive mother? No. Does she value her beloved wig collection more than her own children? Maybe. Does she love her bébés? Absolutely.

Image via The CW/Warner Bros. Television

Xiomara Villanueva, Jane the Virgin

TBH, Xiomara did a pretty okay job at handling all of Jane's antics (and surprise baby), so for that alone she deserves a spot on this list. Who knows what we'd be thinking in that scenario! Not only was she fully supportive (and at times a necessary grounding force) for young Jane, she was also a great grandmother to Mateo and wife to the spontaneous telenovela star Rogelio de la Vega.

Image via ABC/20th Television

Claire Dunphy, Modern Family

There's keeping it real and then there's Claire Dunphy. She holds it all down while remembering everything on everyone's checklist and gives the best reactions to her husband's awkward outbursts and extended family's shenanigans. She's basically the definition of Super Mom.

Image via Peter Kramer/NBC

Olivia Benson, Law & Order: SVU

Olivia Benson may not be known for being a mother, but she's about as bad-ss as you can get. Not only does she protect her son, Noah, fervently, she would quite literally do anything to protect him and her SVU victims.

Image via 20th Television/Disney–ABC Domestic Television

Jessica Huang, Fresh Off the Boat

Who rules the world? Mrs. Huang does.Jessica has a competitive spirit that rivals any Olympian and owns everything she does. She's loud, aggressive and not afraid to give anyone the cold, hard truth. If most of us could lay it down half as well as Jessica, we'd all be ruling the world in a much more orderly (and hysterical) way.

Image via Mill Creek Entertainment/Carsey-Werner Distribution/NBC

Claire Huxtable, The Cosby Show

Claire was the ultimate #girlboss before hashtags even mattered. She was a partner in a law firm, ran a tight ship at home, and killed with serious side-eye. She kept five (FIVE!) children in check, as well as all of the extra people they accumulated through the seasons, and Claire was the greatest example of how straight-shooting and level-headed confidence can rule the world.

Image via HBO/Warner Bros. Television Distribution

Daenerys Targaryen, Game of Thrones

The mother of dragons proves you don't have to actually have human children to be a mom. She's walked into and out of fires unscathed, hatched dragons, freed slaves, learned an entirely complicated language in a blink and kicked general butt in the name of righting the injustices throughout a good part of the seven kingdoms.

Image via Buena Vista Television/NBC

Sophia Petrillo, Golden Girls

She's sassy, Sicilian and she's the golden girl everyone wants to be in retirement. From incredible one-line zingers to heart-to-heart moments that usually end with a back-handed compliment, Sophia's habit of calling it down the line made her the loveable fourth roommate we would all secretly like the best.

Image via Lionsgate/CBS/Showtime

Nancy Botwin, Weeds

Should this be prefaced with season one Nancy? Probably. She went from mourning widow to successful entrepreneur and showed us how to shirk public opinion in favor of what works for you. Her actual parenting skills should be put in our “10 Worst" list, but her genuine nature and quick wit in the face of actual danger lands her on this list of moms who would be fun to know (but maybe not have stay over at your house.)

Image via Fox/Netflix

Lucille Bluth, Arrested Development

So maybe Lucille's straight talk wasn't necessarily altruistic. She had no idea what the cost of a banana was (hint: It's not $10) and most of her comments could easily have been blamed on her breakfast cocktail, but she said exactly what she was thinking at the very moment she was thinking it. She took no sh-t from anyone and gave us all some cringe-worthy advice to quote long after the show was over.

Image via FOX/20th Television/Disney–ABC Domestic Television

Marge Simpson, The Simpsons

What would Homey do without Marge? She's the pearl-wearing silent force that puts the function in dysfunctional. She can do anything she puts her mind to, and she is the literal glue that holds not only her family but also her whole town together.

Image via PBS/ITV

Violet Crawley, Downton Abbey

She asked the question “What is a weekend?" because she genuinely didn't know and she didn't care what anyone thought. In a post-Victorian era that was changing fast around her, the Dowager Countess met adversity with adaptable wit and a zero tolerance for other people's problems. She simply continued living her life and kept it real. Every. Single. Day.

Amazon's adaptation of Casey McQuiston’s famed Red, White & Royal Blueblew our minds with its perfectly extravagant and messy royal romance. Prince Henry and Alex Claremont-Diaz stole our hearts with their antics, proving that love isn't always as cookie cutter as we think it should be. Not only that, but it was the LGBT film we never knew we needed until it hit the big screen last year.

If you've been missing Prince Henry and Alex, you're in luck because a sequel to Red, White & Royal Blue is officially coming! Here's everything we know about the latest developments!

Is the main cast returning?

Image via Jonathan Prime/Prime Video

I'm happy to share that Nicholas Galitzine and Taylor Zakhar Perez are returning! I honestly don't think the Red, White & Royal Blue sequel would be the same if they weren't.

However, no other cast information has been released! Hopefully we'll see Uma Thurman and Clifton Collins, Jr. reprise their roles!

What's the sequel going to be about?

Image via Prime Video

As of yet, Variety reports that not much has been confirmed about the sequel's plot or release date. My guess is that there the two lovebirds will have to juggle new responsibilities and mishaps.

What the original plot of "Red, White & Royal Blue?"

Image via Prime Video

The novel centers around the character of Alex Claremont-Diaz, a first son of the United States, and his romantic relationship with Prince Henry, British royalty.

Take a walk down memory lane with these behind-the-scenes pictures 👀

Matthew López on Instagram: "“Yes, this is exactly how I always dreamed it would be. Locked in a cupboard with your elbow inside my rib cage.” #rwrbmovie"

Nicholas Galitzine on Instagram: "The bois 📸 @aneeshtheactress"

Matthew López on Instagram: "Spent the last two weeks rehearsing with @nicholasgalitzine and @taylorzakharperez It’s been a joy to watch Henry and Alex come to life in the room. Excited to make this movie with them. Here we go! #rwrbmovie @primevideo 📸: (the great Stephen Goldblatt)"

We cannot wait to see what new adventures are two lovebirds will cook up in Red, White & Royal Blue, but for now we’ll be rereading (and rereading) RWRB.
