They say, “A family that pray’s together, slay’s together,” and based on how exceptional Magic Johnson’s family looked while vacationing on their super yacht in Capri, Italy over the weekend, it’s evident to see that they’re all on one accord.
Following in their mother’s footsteps, EJ Johnson landed on the scene looking tall and like a stallion in all white. Ej’s $990 Christian Dior bralette was an instant hit and compliment their white knitted Maison Alaia flare pants.
We loved the layered Chanel pearls for the ‘gworls,’ and Ej’s braids were the perfect length to do a hair flip. Hello?!

Channeling her mother’s beauty and charm, Elisa Johnson wore a black silk strapless midi dress that looked incredible on her 5’4 frame with black kitten heels, similar to those worn by Cookie.
Magic Johnson’s oldest son, Andre Johnson wife Lisa wore a black and white $195 Diarrablu tribal print maxi dress that felt on trend for such a magical destination. Her black YSL clutch added a designer touch to her ensemble, and let’s just say her curls were popping for the family occasion.

From Beyoncé serving sexy librarian vibes at the Brooklyn Museum in LaQuan Smith, to her prodigy Chloe Bailey stunning at Broccoli City fest in L.O.C.A, we’ve curated a list of our top 10 celebrity looks from this previous week.

Lori Harvey and Keke Palmer took the denim route, while Sabrina Elba and Amber Rose opted for the exact same Jean Paul Gaultier floral body-con dress.
Below see our favorite best-dress celebs of last week and let us know your thoughts.
This weekend was all about the celebration of the Book of Hov with the Brooklyn Museum debuting a multimedia exhibition in honor of Jay-Z’s global impact on Hip-Hop and media. Beyoncé of course was in attendance and looked fierce in a $920 orange LaQuan lace top.
Her $1,200 orange LaQuan Smith skirt had subtle sequins detailing and her $1,056 Aquazzura heels were perfect for a day at the library as she literally resembled a modern day housewife.
Speaking of Housewives, the Grand Dame Karen Huger looked dynamite in a $3,315 fuchsia pink Area double breasted blazer dress that had rhinestone lapels. Accessorizing with bold statement earrings and oversized shades, Karen looked like the true Diva that she is.
But low and behold, Karen isn’t the only Diva apart of the Real Housewives franchise. Real Housewife of Atlanta star, Marlo Hamptons is known for serving a look or two and was spotted on set in a $3,190 pink and black asymmetrical Alexander McQueen dress. Her $1,060 Loewe balloon heels were futuristic and perhaps the best part of Marlo’s look.
Singer H.E.R looked exceptional on the red carpet premiere of Barbie in L.A. in a multi-colored Marc Bouwer embellished mini dress that she styled with a sequin cobalt blue bag and light pink open-toe sandals. She’s looked completely different without her oversize clear reading glasses and we were so here for her glamorous look.

If anyone can pull off an adorable baby bump, it’s certainly Kourtney Kardashian who looked playful in a pink Jacquemus ensemble that had cutouts for days and a high slit. We’re so happy and delighted for Kourtney who’s expecting a little boy with her husband, Travis Barker. Her big oversized straw hat added all the drama we needed and more.
Both Sabrina Elba and Amber Rose wore the exact same pink floral Jean Paul Gaultier bodycon dress and among the two, Sabrina definitely wore this look better with her mini Lavender bag and crystal embellished heels. Unfortunately this dress was a miss for Amber rose who opted for clear stiletto pumps and a jewel choker necklace.
Despite recent rumors of Lori Harvey and rapper Quavo possibly being a couple, Lori and Damson Idris are still going strong, and were captured in a series of family photos while vacationing with Lori’s parents in St. Tropez over the weekend.

The ‘SKN’ founder, 26, who’s on every rapper’s wishlist (with the exception of Lil Boosie), looked beach side ready on the southeastern side of France in a black Melissa Simone Bikini that had a cutout at the bust and was accentuated with thong bottoms.

Lori layered her sultry bikini with a multicolored Hermes 3D printed cover up that felt abstract and showcased the luxury French house craftsmanship in terms of texture, and innovation.
Accessorizing with gold layered chains and hoop earrings, her acetate-black Celine S187 shades framed her gorgeous face as she walked hand in hand with Damson.
Damson, kept things simple in a cream crewneck shirt that complimented his rich melanated skin. His black nylon shorts felt sporty yet practical and he paired his outfit with metallic shades and a crossbody fanny pack.

We love seeing Lori and Damson on bae-cations together, and when the family can effortlessly tag along, you know the love is real.
Keke Palmer’s snatch back game is real, and for someone who just gave birth in February to son Leodis with her beau Darius Jackson, she’s definitely giving main character energy.
The ‘Hustlers’ actress, 29, has been making headlines ever since her bae called her out for the outfit she wore to Usher’s concert in Vegas where the ‘Lovers & Friends’ singer serenaded Palmer who stunned in a black sheer bodysuit dress.
Darius tweeted, “It’s the outfit tho.. you a mom,” which opened a can of worms with fans and media outlets alike bashing him for shaming Keke’s outfit. But C’mon, let’s be real- when you look as good as Keke’s been looking, it’s bound to ignite a little insecurity with your man.

Nonetheless, Keke hasn’t allowed Darius negative comments to influence her to dress more modestly nor has it deterred her from coming through with the looks.
Taking part in the denim-on-denim trend for summer, Palmer wore a light blue $309 Moschino bandeau-style minidress, that resembled the top part of two denim trousers sewn together.
We adored Keke’s look that was styled by @sethchernoff, as her denim ensemble felt current, fresh and youthful. Her bangs with curls gave off an 80’s aesthetic, and her make-up was beat by the gods.
They don’t do it for the culture, they are the culture. Hip-Hop’s most famous couple took over the Big Apple this weekend in honor of Jay-Z’s Book of Hov exhibition, and in celebration of the Shawn Carter Foundation Gala.
From celebrities in attendance like Dj Khaled, and Lil Uzi Vert to Regina Hall, and Tinashe, the Shawn Carter Gala held at Pier 60 in New York City, Friday evening was a star-studded one. Beyoncé and Blue Ivy made quite the sartorial entrance to cheer on the man of the hour, Shawn Carter of course.

Shutting it down in a one-of-a-kind custom Valdrin Shahiti gown, that was distinguished with silver metallic ruffles shaped like ocean shells, and a deep plunge neckline, Beyoncé looked drop-dead gorgeous.
Keeping things on trend for the black-tie event, she accessorized with patent leather Christian Louboutin heels and black opera gloves that were layered with diamond jewels and exuded royalty and prestige.
Her high blonde bun with dainty loose side curls served as a replacement for the Queen’s crown, and her futuristic cat-eye embellished shades felt modernly chic.

Falling in her mother’s footsteps, literally and figuratively, Blue Ivy, 11, is growing up before our very own eyes. Posing in an emerald green asymmetrical A.L.C pleated dress with a midsection cutout, Blue looked polished and elegant.

Blue Ivy is a spitting image of her father Jay-Z, who’s the epitome of a true New Yorker, with his swag, style and flavor. It’s evident to see that Jay-Z has come such an along way from The Marcy Projects to being a Billionaire.
In collaboration with his mother Gloria Carter, Jay-Z created the Shawn Carter Foundation back in 2003 to create opportunities for higher education in marginalized communities.
For his star-studded Gala, HOV looked dapper and refined in a luxe black tux, complimented with a black bowtie and traditional black Oxford shoes.

The vibrant and versatile Hawaiian shirt, often a symbol of laid-back tropical vibes, is a wardrobe staple for many. But, while its bold patterns and colors can be a statement in itself, pairing it correctly is pivotal for that impeccable summer look. Dive into this guide to explore how you can perfectly complement these iconic shirts with various bottoms, ensuring you nail the look for a beach getaway or a casual city stroll.
History and Origin of Hawaiian Shirts
Emerging from the sun-kissed islands of Hawaii, the Hawaiian shirt, initially termed the “Aloha shirt,” has transcended its native roots to become a global fashion icon. Introduced in the early 20th century, these shirts captured the essence of the islands with their vivid designs, inspired by local customs, landscapes, and flora. As Hollywood celebrities and US servicemen started adopting this breezy attire, the global appeal of Hawaiian shirts rapidly grew, transforming them from a regional novelty into an emblem of leisure and tropical escapism worldwide.
Factors to Consider When Pairing Hawaiian Shirts
Matching bottoms with Hawaiian shirts is more than just picking the right color. Firstly, consider the material of both the shirt and the chosen bottoms. Cotton, linen, or breathable synthetics often make the best pairs, enhancing comfort, especially in warm climates. Next, color coordination is crucial; aim to complement or contrast, ensuring the shirt remains the focal point. Lastly, think of the occasion. The bottoms should resonate with the theme, whether you’re aiming for a relaxed beach look or an urban semi-formal ensemble. Pairing Hawaiian shirts requires a blend of aesthetic appeal and situational appropriateness.
The Perfect Bottoms for Hawaiian Shirts
With their vibrant hues and playful patterns, Hawaiian shirts often take the spotlight in any ensemble. But the magic is genuinely magnified when paired with the right bottoms. Let’s explore the best choices that can elevate the Hawaiian shirt charm.
Casual Shorts
Casual shorts harmonize beautifully with Hawaiian shirts, especially those in solid colors or muted patterns. They bring out a beachy, laid-back vibe perfect for sunny afternoons. Go for breathable materials like cotton or linen in neutral tones. This ensures the Hawaiian shirt remains the statement, while the shorts offer a relaxed yet stylish complement.
Denim Jeans
While jeans are typically associated with a rugged aesthetic, they conjure an effortlessly cool urban vibe when paired with Hawaiian shirts. Light to medium wash jeans complement the tropical aura, and a slim or straight fit ensures the look remains contemporary. It’s best to avoid overly distressed jeans, as they might clash with the shirt’s patterns. Remember, the aim is an ensemble where the shirt and jeans feel harmoniously intertwined.
Chinos
For those occasions where you aim for a polished look without compromising the fun factor, chinos are your best bet. Their structured fit juxtaposed with the breezy nature of Hawaiian shirts strikes a delightful balance. Opt for earthy tones like beige, olive, or navy. Rolled-up cuffs and a tucked-in shirt can give an added touch of sophistication, creating an outfit suitable for semi-formal events or smart-casual office settings.
Linen Trousers
When the mercury rises, linen trousers paired with Hawaiian shirts blend elegance and comfort. The lightweight nature of the linen complements the tropical vibes of the shirt. Whether you’re attending a beach wedding or a sunset soirée, this pairing is a winner. Choose trousers in pastel shades or classic whites to enhance that summer elegance. And for added flair, consider pairing it with leather sandals or espadrilles.
Swim Trunks
Nothing screams beach-ready more than Hawaiian shirts paired with swim trunks. Ideal for pool parties, beach hangouts, or tropical vacations, this combo embodies the spirit of summer. However, ensure that the trunks’ pattern is balanced with the shirt to nail this look. It’s often best to go for trunks with simpler designs or solid colors. This allows the Hawaiian shirt to shine while the trunks maintain the beach vibe. Remember, with this pairing, confidence is the key!
Footwear Suggestions
Pairing your Hawaiian shirt ensemble with the proper footwear can be the finishing touch that ties the entire look together. For beachy vibes, opt for espadrilles or flip-flops with a laid-back appeal. White sneakers bring a modern, urban feel to the tropical attire, perfect for city outings. Loafers or boat shoes can elevate sophistication, especially with chinos or linen trousers. Lastly, leather sandals are a timeless choice for those who love a hint of boho-chic. Whichever you choose, ensure comfort and style go hand in hand.
Style Tips & Tricks
Mastering the Hawaiian shirt look requires a few handy tips. First, always balance bold patterns with neutral bottoms to avoid overwhelming the eye. If the shirt is particularly vibrant, consider understated accessories. Conversely, muted Hawaiian shirts can pop with bolder accessories. Remember, less is often more. Tucking or half-tucking the shirt can transform the outfit’s dynamics, offering versatility. Lastly, consider layering; a lightweight jacket or open shirt over a plain tee can add depth. Embrace these tricks, and let your Hawaiian shirt ensemble resonate with effortless flair!
Final Note
Pairing Hawaiian shirts is both an art and a delightful fashion journey. You can elevate this tropical icon to new heights with the right bottoms, footwear, and style insights. So, embrace the vibrant allure of Hawaiian shirts and flaunt your unique style confidently!
