It may be December in the real world, but on our Instagram feeds, summer is a never-ending season. The Bahamas were overtaken by an It-girl gang made up of Hailey Baldwin, Emily Ratajkowski, Bella Hadid, Elsa Hosk, and Rose Bertram (talk about #SquadGoals), each sun-seeker offering her own take on vacation beauty—think windblown waves, ponytails, retro sunnies, lithe physiques, and power brows—and on languid posing. Taylor Hill snapped a selfie in Islamorada, her bronze eyeliner, baby braids, and delicate choker offering a beach-bound feel to her seasonal share, while Vanessa Axente and Margot Robbie—on a boat and colorful cocktail in hand, respectively—are sure to inspire wanderlust in even the most devoted snow-philes.

And makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury captured Kate Moss in full holiday rock ‘n’ roll guise for her turn channelling Elvis in the “The Wonder of You” music video, complete with sequins, subtle ’60s-inspired bouffant, and sultry cat-eye. We imagine that Elvis would approve.
