Beanie Feldstein’s Best Fashion Moments (So Far)

We are on the precipice of Beanie Feldstein’s transformation to full A-lister.

Known for her roles in Lady Bird and Booksmart, the actor has slowly but surely gained “movie star” momentum, receiving critical acclaim and a devoted fan following in the process. Widely loved as one the most relatable, down-to-earth, and endearing young actresses on the planet, it feels as though Feldstein is Peter Parker right before he turns into Spiderman — and Monica Lewinsky is the spider bite.

The third season of Ryan Murphy’s American Crime Story: Impeachment (premiering on September 7) is already the must-watch of the fall. Starring as the aforementioned former White House intern, Feldstein is at the heart of the buzzy miniseries about the Bill Clinton impeachment scandal. If that weren’t enough, it was also recently announced that Feldstein would star as Fanny Brice — the role that helped make Barbra Streisand a star *and* an Oscar winner — in a production of Funny Girl, which is returning to Broadway for the first time in 58 years.

As Emmy, Tony, and Golden Globe nominations are sure to follow suit, we’re pretty stoked to see more of Feldstein’s vibrant and playful fashion. Never one to shy away from colour or interesting silhouettes, the former FASHION cover star has become one of the most exciting stars to see on the runway, thanks in part to her stylist Erin Walsh.

To celebrate this rising star, here are a few of our favourite Beanie Feldstein fashion moments — on- and off-screen — so far.

The fashion in Booksmart hasn’t been talked about enough and we’re here to fix that. Feldstein’s character Molly wears a denim jumpsuit, blue neck scarf and fanny pack to celebrate her last night as a high school student and we love this 1970s disco meets 2019 adolescence style moment.

Meet the Best Friends Who Opened an Instagram-Famous Motel During the Pandemic

When COVID-19 was declared a pandemic in March 2020, April Brown and Sarah Sklash were elbow-deep in their renovation of a rundown 1970s motel. Facing strict time constraints, a dwindling budget and an ominous uncertainty brought on by the pandemic, the Canadian entrepreneurs had a turbulent journey ahead of them — and it was all filmed for a Netflix original show, Motel Makeover.

The six-episode docuseries takes viewers alongside Brown and Sklash’s process of gutting, renovating and launching The June Motel in Sauble Beach, Ontario during the thick of the pandemic. Luckily, the best-friends-turned-business-partners don’t shy away from a challenge. In 2016, they both quit their desk jobs in Toronto to follow their entrepreneurial aspirations and open their first motel property, The June Motel in Prince Edward County. But for their second motel renovation, things were more complicated, to say the least.

The Sauble Beach motel property was Brown and Sklash’s biggest undertaking yet, consisting of 24 guest rooms, a swimming pool, a restaurant, a gift shop and a lounge. Reimagining the outdated property involved numerous revised paint coats, debates over vintage decor items, and self-posed questions like, “Is this charming or hideous?”

From animated discussions about their love for rosé to teaching their small-town contractor, Rick, what a mirror selfie is, the pair bring a lovable charm to the project — despite its never-ending curveballs.

“There were a lot of firsts that we had to tackle on this project alone, and that would have been a challenge in itself. But then you layer on a camera crew following you around every day, and then you layer on a global pandemic,” says Brown. The motel rooms had already been completely gutted when the pandemic hit, so the only option the pair had was to continue with the project, despite having lost money and time.

“[During] that whole period of lockdown, there were almost daily conversations of, ‘What are our options? How are we going to move forward? Do we have money? Are we going to run out of money?’” recalls Brown. “And that was like, the scariest moment probably of our lives — definitely of our career.”

When the first lockdown hit, while the rest of the world was largely stuck at home, Sklash, Brown and the renovation’s project manager Courtney Mann were stuck at work — living together in the apartment above the motel’s restaurant. The business partners leveraged their homes and their first motel for this project, but the pandemic forced them to halt construction for months. “There were some really scary moments,” says Sklash. She recalls thinking, “It’s possible we could lose the business. We could lose our homes. Who knows?”

Despite the stress, they managed to create some fond memories during that time, one of which was watching Schitt’s Creek — a comedy about a once-wealthy family who loses their fortune and is forced to move into a small, run-down motel. Sound familiar? “It was just this very relatable experience,” says Brown. After months of delay, they were able to realize their vision for The June Motel’s Sauble Beach location and finish the renovation.

Motels aren’t the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a glam getaway, but Brown and Sklash see them as blank slates. The June Motel has a retro, throwback feel, and these characteristics are often found in motels to begin with. Plus, they’re budget-friendly.

“We were young entrepreneurs and really the only thing we could afford was not that beautiful beach resort, but it was the dingy roadside motel,” Sklash says about the decision to buy their first fixer upper in Prince Edward County. “That’s really why we got started, but [we] have just been charmed by them ever since.”

Now that renovations are complete, The June Motel radiates a beach-y vibe, punctuated by pops of colour like neon signs and statement wallpaper. The space was designed by Brown and Sklash with the goal of creating Instagram-worthy moments.

“We really are constantly taking our phones out and taking photos of it as we go through this design process, because we want to see how the colours show up on camera,” says Brown. With over 82,000 Instagram followers at the time of publication, The June Motel has become an aesthetically pleasing oasis for travellers and influencers alike.

Brown and Sklash are ready to do it again. The pair are building a “motel empire” one eventful renovation at a time. In fact, they’re already planning to start searching for their next motel in fall 2021. “We don’t know where it’s going to be,” says Sklash. “We’re going to be looking for that diamond in the rough property.”

Motel Makeover premieres on Netflix on August 25.

We’re Rooting for You, Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum

We interrupt your internet browsing with some very important news: Channing Tatum and Zoë Kravitz might be an item. It’s the coupling that we never knew we needed — so let’s discuss.

It all started on August 18, when the pair were spotted on an outing in NYC. Tatum is seen riding a black BMX bike with Kravitz walking next to him. At one point, she even hopped on the back of the bike to ride along, which is objectively adorable. The snaps quickly prompted the internet to beg the question: are they or aren’t they together?

One of the hints pointing towards the former is Tatum’s apparent change of style in the presence of Kravitz, who is known for her elevated sense of fashion. During his early 2000s acting era of playing jock-like characters (think: Step Up and She’s The Man), Tatum was often seen sporting low wasted jeans and tight tank tops (or, no shirt at all). Now, he seems to have adopted an effortlessly cool, grunge style of well-worn graphic tees, straight-legged jeans and Converse that vibes with Kravitz’s own polished but laidback brand of street style quite well. Could it be the Zoë Kravitz effect? Fans think yes. Earlier this year, Deadline reported that she gave Tatum fashion advice, telling him to stop wearing Crocs because he couldn’t pull them off. We respect the brutal honesty — especially when it comes to questionable fashion choices.

The duo has been spending more time together lately because of work. Tatum was handpicked by Kravitz to star in her directorial film debut, Pussy Island — which we know will be great, because duh.

Following their Manhattan bike moment, the actors were spotted on yet another NYC stroll on August 19. This time, they were holding ice coffees and laughing together. Kravitz, wearing a minimal Araks blue slip dress, walked alongside Tatum in a white graphic tee and faded blue jeans, with another BMX bike in tow (seemingly a staple accessory of his new wardrobe). Something about them just says power couple, no?

The dating speculations come eight months after Kravitz filed for divorce from actor Karl Glusmam, and as of now, neither Tatum or Kravitz have confirmed or denied the status of their relationship. However, a source told E! News that they have recently gotten closer and that their relationship has grown beyond a friendship. Interesting…

Romantic involvement aside, the two make an *excellent* pair, and their street style inspo is the real gift here. Keep it coming, guys!
