Beat the Heat With These Celebrity-Approved Summer Outfits

We’re creeping toward triple-digit temperatures, and getting dressed is just as burdensome as it is on frigid winter days. It’s fair to look into one’s own closet and feel that there’s nothing to wear—or at least nothing worth sweating in all day. Luckily, though, celebrities are modeling summer heatwave dressing with aplomb.

Shorts are taking all lengths this summer, from Olivia Rodrigo’s hotpants to Hailey Bieber’s knee-length capris (both, however, embracing this season’s preeminent polka-dot trend). Elsewhere, Emily Ratajkowski embraced the Adam Sandler look in a pair of oversized Nike basketball shorts, while Lorde opted for the boxer trend in Deiji Studios.

A go-to sun deflector, white clothing is also in heavy rotation. During a scorching week in New York, Jennifer Lawrence layered a pair of white lace-trimmed slips with an oversized graphic tee. Gigi Hadid, Laura Harrier, and Dakota Johnson took different approaches to the LWD—Hadid in an embellished ultra-mini, Harrier donning a ruffled Jacquemus maxi for the designer’s spring 2026 show, and Johnson opting for a simple sleeveless midi with matching pumps.

Here, take a gander at some celebrity style inspiration for hot summer days, from Rihanna’s diaphanous dressing at the Smurfs premiere to Bella Hadid’s jorts.
