Wicker bags: They're not just a summer fling. As the warm-weather season comes to a close, you'd normally start seeing fewer woven bags and more suede ones, but not this year. I have a strong feeling that picnic-like purses will continue to be popular well into fall—peaking on October 23, to be exact. That's when Alexander Skarsgård and Olivia Colman's admittedly very strange new film, Wicker, comes out in theaters. The movie trailer officially has the entire internet talking—oh hi, Ikea!—so we figured we'd throw our (wicker) hats into the ring, too.
Skarsgård is no stranger to a risky (and risqué) red carpet look, but his new, intricately woven on-screen character takes the cake as his most daring look yet. What's the movie actually about, you might ask? "On the outskirts of a village by the sea," the official synopsis reads, "lives a fisherwoman; smelly, single, and perpetually ridiculed. One day, fed up with her stuffy, small-minded neighbors, she commissions herself a husband to be made from wicker. In an otherwise conservative town, this unconventional romance sparks outrage, jealousy, and chaos." Intriguing, indeed.
This article might have started as a bit of a joke, but I ended up finding a bunch of cute outfit ideas for styling wicker bags for fall, so scroll to your heart's content.

Welcome to Fashion's Finest Stays, a travel series where we lend our fashion-editor POV to the world of hospitality. Here, we'll give you exclusive insider access to the world's most renowned hotels and resorts, uncovering every detail you'd ever want to know before you book.
Of all the celebrity-adored hotels in the world, the first that likely come to mind are the buzzy names widely known to be hot spots where the A-list crowd descends. Then there are the stays that fly (almost) completely under the radar where it's more about achieving a sense of quiet and calm than it is about seeing or being seen. Crillon Le Brave is the very definition of the latter. Tucked discreetly into in the Provençal hills in the south of France, the 17th and 18th-Century stone village-turned-hotel was named the number one resort in France in the Travel + Leisure 2025 World's Best Awards, and after spending three nights in May, I fully understand why.
If you haven't heard of it before, well, that's kind of the point. The hotel, which is less of a single structure than it is a cluster of honey-stone village houses turned five-star hideaway, is the spot where the fashion insiders, actors, F1 drivers, and royalty alike go when they want to disappear for a few days. There's no see-and-be-seen atmosphere, just centuries-old architecture, incredibly local food and wine, and panoramic views of Mont Ventoux.
Here, inside my Crillon Le Brave experience and what makes the south-of-France hotel one of the fashion crowd's most wish-listed spots.
I first came to know about Crillon Le Brave via Jenny Walton and have had it bookmarked as a wish list stay ever since. Images of its slim rectangular pool framed by tall, slender cypress trees makes up the iconic imagery the hotel is most known for. Over the years, famous guests have included everyone from Formula One drivers and British royals to A-list actors (Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas apparently spent a few nights around their south-of-France wedding celebrations). Its owners are the family-run hospitality group Maisons Pariente with just three (soon to be four) other hotels around France, including the fashion insider-beloved Parisian destination Le Grand Mazarin.
Following a major renovation, the hotel reopened this April unveiling an expansion on the guest rooms with. The update adds three restored historic houses that includes 10 new rooms and suites (and bringing to the total to 26 rooms and 17 suites), a fully renewed spa, a second adults-only pool, and a new culinary space for hosting cooking lessons and other events.
What makes Crillon Le Brave so special and so unlike anywhere else I've stayed is its location. It's not that the hotel is situated in a charming town in the foothills of Provence, which would have already been a major draw in itself, but it's the fact that the hotel is completely intertwined with the hilltop village and it's hard to distinguish where one ends and the other begins. Walking from your room to breakfast, for instance, means meandering through the cobblestone "streets" and underneath curved archways. The entire experience had me feeling less like I was a hotel guest and more like a proper resident of the village. The architecture and design takes care to incorporate original details wherever possible, revealing hidden clues and corners of the village's 17th-Century origins. My favorite example of this was in my bathroom where a small window was build right into the wall of the shower revealing a sweeping view of the valley below. Talk about special.
There is farm-to-table dining, and then there's the menu at Crillon Le Brave. The restaurant on property adhere's to something called Écotable which is France's leading sustainable restaurant rating and it comes with stringent standards for short supply-chains, seasonal menus, and at least 15% of products being organic. It's poses a creative challenge for the kitchen—if it's not in season or can only be sourced from a distance, it won't be available—but it also means that everything that landed on my plate was remarkably fresh and creative.
While I could have easily passed several days without ever feeling the need to leave the property, its location offers an abundance of excursions and experiences that you can't find elsewhere. I left twice, once to explore the local market in the town of Bédoin just 10 minutes away and a second time for a vineyard tour and wine tasting at Chêne Bleu. If you're into cycling, I noticed a few guests taking the opportunity to bike along a route that makes up part of the Tour de France.
Part of the 2026 updates includes the newly unveiled Maison Tilleul, a space that's dedicated for events like cooking classes and workshops. I had the chance to take a cooking class with the lead chef Thomas and learn how to make a few dishes that are very typical of the region. The space will also be used to host retreats, and it will kick off with Crillon Le Brave's very first culinary retreat held by photographer and cookbook author Chloé Crane-Leroux, alongside her mother and co-author, ceramicist Trudy Crane this October bringing the seasonal, plant-based sensibility that runs through their cookbook, The Artful Way to Plant-Based Cooking.
While I'd say the pool is, naturally, the main event at Crillon Le Brave, the spa was a close competitor and I was grateful to be among the first to experience it after a major facelift. Upstairs, treatment rooms for massages and facials utilize Tata Harper products while downstairs, it's all about the contrast therapy. Hot and cold plunge pools are set inside a literal stone cave while a few steps up are a sauna and steam room in which to rotate between.
While a stunning view and great food are what drew me to the property, it was all the smaller details and thoughtful touches that made a lasting impact on my experience. Every night, I would come back to my room after dinner to find a little treat sitting on my bedside table. It was always something new and different and was accompanied by a notecard with a line of poetry. Small gestures, like the addition of a custom luggage tag affixed to my suitcase and a small pouch of local dried lavender, made my stay feel incredibly personal.
Since the surroundings were very rustic, I wanted my wardrobe to reflect that laid-back, effortlessly cool French energy. I packed airy maxi dresses from Almina Concept and Dissh which I layered with my favorite Sezane trench coat as the weather was still on the crisp side during my visit in mid-May. For shoes, a pair of sleek flat sandals and polished ballet flats made for the ideal outfit finishers as the vibe here was more casual than dressed-up. As for a handbag, I felt very local carrying my Liffner striped basket tote to shop the markets and lounge by the pool.

Here's a bit of irony for you: The outfit Gigi Hadid, who is from Los Angeles, just wore in Paris is one that both Parisian and L.A. girls are wearing en masse this summer—especially for dates. Los Angeles and Paris don't have all that much in common, but what they do have is lots of stylish dressers. And although the aesthetics of the two cities are in stark contrast, the outfit its residents are favoring for date nights this summer is one in the same, and Hadid just wore it on a Parisian dinner date with Bradley Cooper.
The outfit formula is just about as easy as it gets. As far as date-night outfits go, it's quite low-key, but certain details add a bit of flirtiness to the look. The first item is a white tank top, preferably fitted. The second is an A-line midi skirt, which adds a touch of romance to the outfit (Hadid's was black, asymmetrical, and lace-trimmed). Lastly, the shoe of the summer: flip-flops. Yes, even French girls love flip-flops these days. And as for handbags, anything goes, but it doesn't get much better than Hadid's silk polka-dot Valentino bag.
Scroll on to see IRL (and shop) the effortless three-piece outfit that's perfect for date nights and a slew of other occasions.
As a beauty writer, I've tried my fair share of skin devices—from microcurrent to LED face masks and beyond. And while I love a high-tech device just as much as the next person, I find myself reaching for a rather low-tech option more often than not. I'm talking about at-home cryotherapy tools (or cryo tools for short).
Cryo tools are used to cool down the temperature of the skin, which might sound simple (even unnecessary) but they offer real benefits. I, for one, use them to de-puff my face after a late night (or a bad case of seasonal allergies) and to bring a fresh-faced glow back to my stubbornly dull skin. I also use them to quickly cool my skin after being out in the summer heat, which can help prevent dark spots and rosacea flare-ups. (Did you know that high temps can trigger melanin production and inflammation?) Ahead, see the 10 best cryo tools to help sculpt, de-puff, and refresh your skin. Plus, learn all about the benefits of cryo tools from Loretta Ciraldo, MD, FAAD, a Miami-based board-certified derm with over 40 years of experience and the founder of Dr. Loretta skincare. Let's go!
The Best Cryotherapy Tools, At a Glance
Best Cryo Mask: Shark Beauty Cryoglow Under-Eye Cooling + LED Mask
Best Cryo Wand: Therabody Theraface Depuffing Wand
Best Ice Globes: Angela Caglia Gold Cryo Facial Set

The Best Cryotherapy Tools
Best Cryo Mask: Shark Beauty Cryoglow Under-Eye Cooling + LED Mask
Shark Beauty
Cryoglow Under-Eye Cooling + LED Mask
This is one of my favorite at-home cryo tools. It's, first and foremost, an LED mask, providing red, blue, and deep-infrared light with interlocking tri-wick LEDs. (For the uninitiated, LED masks can kill acne-causing bacteria, boost collagen, reduce inflammation, and more.) However, it also provides cryo benefits, thanks to under-eye attachments that cool the skin, visibly tighten the eye area, and target under-eye bags and dark circles. You can choose between three temperature settings and four treatments for a bespoke experience.
Best Cryo Wand: Therabody Theraface Depuffing Wand

Here's another editor-approved cryo tool. Technically, it's both a hot and cold facial device, and you can use it interchangeably to reduce skin puffiness, improve radiance, and boost skin elasticity. It's so easy to toss in a carry-on or checked bag, which is why multiple Who What Wear beauty editors consider it an SOS skin tool for curing puffy, jet-lagged skin.
Best Ice Globes: Angela Caglia Gold Cryo Facial Set
Angela Caglia
Gold Cryo Facial Set
I've been using Angela Caglia's Gold Cryo Facial Set for years. It includes two gold-plated, gel-filled wands that deliver extreme cold to the skin and subsequently refresh the complexion, minimize the appearance of pores, and deflate puffiness. Use them for up to five minutes in the morning or evening on clean skin, with a serum or sheet mask to facilitate glide. Store them in the fridge or freezer (I prefer the latter) between uses. They feel so luxe and heavy in my hand, which makes a five-minute at-home cryo treatment feel like a high-end spa experience.
Best Ice Roller: Stacked Skincare Cryo Sculpting Ice Roller

Cryo Sculpting Ice Roller
I've had more than one celebrity esthetician recommend this cryo tool to me. That's because it has an ergonomic handle and a stainless steel, egg-shaped barrel that's custom-engineered to 1) encourage lymphatic drainage and, 2) stay colder for longer. The silicone cap is the cherry on top; it helps keep the barrel clean for the most hygienic experience.
Best Face and Body Tool: Nurse Jamie Super-Cryo Massaging Orb
Nurse Jamie
Super-Cryo Massaging Orb
Nurse Jamie's Super-Cryo Massaging Orb is a face and body tool that can be used both cool or warm (I bet you know which one I prefer). It promotes localized circulation to improve the appearance of the skin, facilitate lymphatic drainage, and release muscle tension.
To use it cool, unscrew the twist-off ring from the base, place the massaging orb in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes. Then place the massaging orb back into the base and screw the twist-off ring onto the base securely. To use it warm, place the massaging orb in a warm bowl of water for 30-60 minutes. Use it on clean, dry skin or alongside your favorite moisturizer or beauty oil.
Sio Beauty Cryodrop

I was introduced to this cryo tool from a friend, who said it literally sculpted her face after one use (that's the kind of recommendation that instantly piques my interest). As if that's not enough of a reason to try it, it's also derm-recommended. Yep, Ciraldo counts herself as a fan: "The cold is delivered by medical-grade metal," which makes for a "very straightforward application."
The award-winning design combines cold therapy, facial massage, and diamagnetic technology (it has a magnetic core that propels skincare products deep into the skin for enhanced absorption). Together, these modalities instantly cool, refresh, and lift the skin.
Skin Gym Icecool Roller

Icecool Roller
This affordable ice roller also has a permanent place in my freezer (for over three years now). I first used it when I lived in Austin, Texas, and I needed to cool my skin down on 100-plus degree days. I even roll it across my neck and chest, since it has a large roller and it's so easy to use.
Jenny Patinkin Cryo Glow Globes

Here's my other trusty set of ice globes. Jenny Patinkin's Cryo Glow Globes temporarily constrict blood vessels, soothe inflammation, promote circulation and oxygenation. and more. The ergonomically shaped globes hug the facial contour and provide a light gliding and rocking motion for improved lymphatic drainage. They're easy to use and have lasted me years (literally).
The Benefits of Cryotherapy
According to Ciraldo, at-home cryotherapy tools offer real benefits. "When we started doing ablative lasers (which produce tremendous heat) we also started to use cold sprays to keep skin cool. The added advantages were found to be lessening skin redness and decreased water loss from the skin surface, resulting In a perceptible boost in skin hydration," she explains. "From this in-office experience, we learned that cold is a therapeutic modality that can be used in-office with liquid nitrogen or at home with instruments that are very cold applied directly to the skin."
Ciraldo cites a 2008 study that found cold therapy can lessen inflammation and increase the skin's own antioxidant activity. The best part? Anyone can achieve these benefits. "Cold devices are very good for most skin types and they can be used to lessen skin puffiness and redness as well as offer an anti-aging approach since cold activates our skin's own antioxidants," Ciraldo says. However, anyone who has a cold sensitivity, such as those with Raynaud's Syndrome, should avoid cryo tools, since they could risk damaging tissue due to the cold exposure.
