Keke Palmer's Dress Takes the Thigh Slit to a New, Embellished Extreme

Keke Palmer's press tour style streak continues. The actor turned heads in a black strapless gown at the Berlin premiere of her film "Nope" on July 26. Her dress featured a prominent thigh slit that revealed the entire length of her left leg and was embellished with mirrored plexiglass pieces arranged to resemble a tire track. She kept her accessories relatively low-key, finishing her look with jeweled ankle-strap sandals, diamond earrings, white eyeliner, and waist-length box braids.

Palmer's daring dress hails from David Koma's pre-fall 2022 collection, which the star also repped for her recent Glamour magazine cover story. The range includes a wealth of edgy designs featuring flame motifs, crystal crocodiles, and the aforementioned tire-track pattern.

Thigh-grazing slits have been a popular red carpet choice among celebrities this year - see: Lizzo, Selena Gomez, and Ciara - but Palmer's take on the trend is perhaps the most extreme we've seen yet. She similarly went all in on the low-rise skirt trend in a Marc Jacobs getup at the "Nope" premiere in Los Angeles earlier this month. Other memorable looks from her recent press tour include the sheer metallic Prada dress she wore on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," the sparkly Prabal Gurung mini dress she wore on "Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen," and the lime-green Christopher John Rogers separates she wore on the "Today" show.

Take a closer look at her David Koma slit dress ahead, and keep reading to shop it online if you so please.

13 Printed Midi Dresses That Deserve a Spot in Your Closet

Midi dresses are arguably one of the most essential styles to have on hand for summer. From a morning brunch to an afternoon beach date, a midi dress really is the ultimate daytime frock - perfect for helping you to create a lightweight, hassle-free outfit that will still keep you looking fresh through even the warmest summer days (including those recent heat waves).

And when it comes to playful summer fashion, we're convinced that perhaps the only thing better than a midi dress, is a printed midi dress in particular. We love a good pattern as much as the next fashionista - especially if it helps to elevate an otherwise breezy or minimalistic style with a more statement-making touch. So it's no surprise that we're equally as taken with the bold elegance provided by a chic, printed midi dress.

Spend a few minutes browsing the internet for one of these styles and you'll find, evidently, that there are a lot of printed midi dress options to shop at the moment - with frocks that feature everything from geometric designs and floral-adorned prints (a peak coastal grandma look) to trippy, Y2K-infused patterns and so many other eye-catching styles that are perfect for nailing this summer's biggest fashion trends.

We've shopped out a few of our favorite printed midi dresses below, with styles from Free People, Nordstrom, Farm Rio (obviously!), ASOS, Anthropologie, and more. Read on to browse our picks!

Teyana Taylor's Joggers Come With Hip Cutouts and the Lowest Rise

When it comes to the low-rise trend, there are no rules. A day after Julia Fox was spotted in the streets of New York wearing leather pants with possibly the lowest rise ever seen, Teyana Taylor offered her own take on the polarizing look. Posing in the middle of a desert, the singer and dancer rocked cargo joggers with hip cutouts that dipped into her thighs. Taylor paired the affordable PrettyLittleThing pants with an uber-cropped white tee, drawing attention to her incredibly-toned midsection. As her striking trousers made a statement, she kept her accessories simple with gray and white Nike sneakers, a bucket hat, and a necklace.

Though the daring silhouette has become somewhat of a signature look for the musician, her latest outfit reached a new extreme. At the Billboard Music Awards in May, Taylor wore a black Skims bra top with thin straps to complement her low-rise leather pants from Givenchy, exposing her thong strings. She also wore a notable pair of leather pants that skimmed her hips, with a crystal-encrusted chain belt at Rolling Loud last summer.

Despite some opposition, the early-aughts trend has continued to persist, with celebrities recently opting for riskier takes on the controversial cut. With a thigh-high slit and a belt hanging on the side, Keke Palmer wore one made out of suiting material for the "Nope" world premiere just last week, while Halsey chose a sarong-like mesh version to match their corset at the launch of their new beauty brand, af94.

Ahead, take a closer look at Taylor's full outfit and shop her exact joggers.

Tina Knowles-Lawson Says 5-Year-Old Rumi "Has an Amazing Sense of Style"

With parents like Beyoncé and JAY-Z, it's no surprise Blue Ivy, Rumi, and Sir Carter are already style stars in the making. Tina Knowles-Lawson recently chatted with Oprah Daily about Ivy Park's latest collection, Ivytopia, and shared how her grandchildren contribute to the brand.

"They are little fashionistas, and they have definite determination about what they like and what they don't like."

"They are little fashionistas, and they have definite determination about what they like and what they don't like," the businesswoman and fashion designer said in the July 21 interview. "When Beyoncé's doing the first samples, they get them, and some things they love, and some things you can tell are not their favorite. Kids like things that are comfortable. They don't want anything that's scratchy or too tight or high around the neck."

Considering 10-year-old Blue and 5-year-olds Rumi and Sir have starred in multiple Ivy Park campaigns alongside their mom, it only makes sense they'd provide their input for every collection. Though Blue's effortless cool style has made headlines in the past, as she hung out courtside in a sleek black outfit or performed with Beyoncé at the Oscars, Rumi seems to be just as excited about fashion. "She has an amazing sense of style," Knowles-Lawson said, adding that Rumi reminds her "so much" of a young Solange Knowles.

During a recent trip to Disneyland, Knowles-Lawson recalled Rumi picking Mickey Mouse shorts and a matching sparkly printed top for her outfit. "It actually looked really cute. But her sister came in and Blue was like, 'My mom would be mad because she's doing too much.' And Rumi said, 'This is my style.' . . . I was impressed. She also said, 'Mickey Mouse is going to be so excited. He's going to come up and take a picture with me.' She's so funny. And do you know, Mickey came up and took a picture with her."

Kim Kardashian Pulled Off the Micro-Thong-Bikini Trend on Instagram

In a 13-part Instagram Story, Kim Kardashian modeled new Skims pieces from her upcoming drop, giving her audience all the shopping envy. "I am so excited to announce 'Swim' and making towels that match everything," she began, referring to the products unveiled in a campaign released on Monday, July 15, starring Madison Bailey, Paris Jackson, and Bella Poarch. "We had our core nudes and black on our first drop," she continued. "We're always going to add some new colors, so instead of the blues, we're going to add white and pink with the matching towels and all of the styles."

With that said, the try-on haul began, showing the reality star and Skims founder in the tiniest swim separates. First, there was a white string-bikini set consisting of a triangular top and matching bottoms. Then came along the boldest style in the selection: a micro thong, which Kardashian rode over her waist. "This is one of our new styles," she said. "The micro tanga bottom and the micro triangle top".

Shortly after, she modeled another way of wearing it, which was lower on the waist and with a bit more coverage. Next, she put on a cropped swim T-shirt over the bra, presenting an effortlessly cool beach look. The 41-year-old star continued, "White swimwear could get a little sheer. Our fabric is nice and thick and holds you in and it's great, but it will get a little sheer. So, layer or be prepared."
