Watch the First Glorious Trailer For Beyoncé's Netflix Documentary, Homecoming
Not only does Beyoncé have new music in the works, but she's also releasing a documentary special on Netflix - are we blessed or are we blessed?! On Monday, the streaming platform shared the first trailer for the film, which is officially titled Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé, and it included tons of behind-the-scenes footage of Queen Bey, her dancers, husband JAY-Z, and even daughter Blue Ivy performing some of her mom's choreography.
In Netflix's official release for Homecoming, the doc is described as "an intimate look at Beyoncé's historic 2018 Coachella performance that paid homage to America's historically black colleges and universities." It will include candid footage and interviews detailing how the vision for the groundbreaking musical moment came to be, and why Beyoncé's ode to the black college experience was not just a performance, but a part of an important cultural movement.
Watch the trailer above before Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé premieres on Netflix on April 17.
The First Official Clip From Avengers: Endgame Explains Captain Marvel's Long Absence
We are so close to the April 26 premiere of Avengers: Endgame that I wouldn't be shocked if Marvel stopped dropping trailers and images just to ensure that no one gets the scoop on what we can expect before the film drops. But the studio loves to surprise us, and did just that by dropping the first official clip from Endgame via Good Morning America on April 8. And even though the clip is barely more than a minute long, it's enough to get our wheels turning.
The brief clip takes place sometime after the Captain Marvel mid-credits scene where Carol Danvers appears in the Avengers compound. In it, Carol, Natasha, Steve, Thor, Bruce, and Rhodey seem to be looking over a hologram of the Earth. Natasha explains that Thanos has used the stones again (but to do what is the real question) and Carol is immediately ready to go down there and smash him up. As much as I respect her desire to just dive in and kick ass right away, the rest of the Avengers should definitely know better than to go in without a real plan. Bruce says as much, and Rhodey agrees, reminding everyone that Thanos still has all the Infinity Stones, virtually making him unstoppable.
Carol has Natasha and Steve on board (not a shock from the guy who could "do this all day"), but Rhodey essentially tells her to slow her roll, asking where she's been this whole time. Carol manages to hide her massive eyeroll and explains that it's a big universe out there and she's been busy. (So apparently she can't time travel, she's just been preoccupied battling the Kree empire all these years.) After all, this is the first time that there's been a threat on a universal level. The Avengers are supposed to be able to handle their planet's issues!
The clip ends with that already-classic brotastic moment between Carol and Thor, and we're left to wonder exactly what happens after. Now we know that the rag-tag team of Earth's defenders make an attempt to go after Thanos soon after everything goes down, but from what we've seen of the trailer it can't be their only try. We'll have to wait and see how the Avengers pull this off (and how many tries it takes) when Endgame premieres on April 26!
How Many Siblings Does Miley Cyrus Have? She's Not the Only Talented Family Member
Miley Cyrus is known for her incredible voice and hit songs, but she's also known for her big, happy family. While Miley's parents, Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus, have been a big part of her career, a few of her siblings are also in the entertainment industry. And now that Miley is married to Liam Hemsworth, the Cyrus clan just got even bigger!
So, just how many siblings does Miley have? In addition to her new brother-in-laws, Chris and Luke Hemsworth, the 26-year-old singer has five siblings: Trace Cyrus, Brandi Cyrus, Braison Cyrus, Noah Cyrus, and a half-brother named Christopher Cody Cyrus, whom Billy has from a previous relationship. Though Christopher, who was born just a few months before Miley in April 1992, keeps a low profile and has stayed out of the spotlight, Miley has made quite a few appearances with the rest of her siblings over the years. Get the rundown on the Cyrus family ahead!

I Want to Be as Happy as Robert Downey Jr. Dancing Through the Avengers Press Tour
If I had to guess which Avengers: Endgame cast member is having the most fun on the film's press tour, I'd have to go with Robert Downey Jr. The actor, who reprises his role as Tony Stark (aka Iron Man) in the upcoming superhero movie, has taken to Instagram over the last few days to share videos of himself dancing along to classic rock 'n' roll hits ahead of each press event with his cast mates - and I have to say that the man has some moves. So far he's graciously provided us with some quality choreography to the tune of Blondie's "Heart of Glass," Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze," and Queen's "Coming Soon."
This is honestly the only kind of content I ever hope to see on my timeline, and it does a pretty decent job of distracting me from the fact that we might just lose his character in Endgame. Read ahead to see what Robert has shared so far, and keep your fingers crossed that he keeps this up until the movie premieres.
Game of Thrones: Let's Not Forget About This Key Season 7 Moment
When it comes to Cleganebowl, the Game of Thrones writing staff has basically been the embodiment of Lucy jerking the football away from Charlie Brown over the years. Hype reached a fever pitch when The Hound and The Mountain came face to face in the dragonpit during the season seven finale. Instead of throwing down, The Hound looks into his brother's undead eyes and says to him, "What did they do to you? Doesn't matter, it's not how it ends for you, brother. You know who's coming for you. You've always known." Wait one second, Sandor, who exactly is coming for The Mountain? The Hound may know, but fans are more than a little confused.
Let's take a look at the simplest answer first - The Hound is referring to himself. His hatred for his vicious brother runs deep, and even though there is some serious debate on how alive The Mountain is, his little brother wants him dead. (Like, dead-dead.) After all, he's the man responsible for The Hound's scars, and in the books, the youngest Clegane also seems to believe his brother murdered their sister. For those reasons, his warning may have been a threat. Unlike Euron, The Hound isn't interested in making a scene. He's seen the army of the undead now, and he knows there will be another time and place for him to deal with his brother.
The Hound isn't the only person gunning for The Mountain, though. Another option is Arya. The Mountain is on her list, and The Hound heard her recite it many times during their travels together. When you add in the Lord of Light sending The Hound a vision out of the blue earlier in season seven, it stands to reason that that vision may not have been his first. It's possible he saw something in the flames all those years ago when The Mountain burned him for playing with his toys. Having The Hound know that Arya would come for his brother one day would be a cool twist - although it's a stretch.
The most likely answer remains The Hound himself. With Oberyn Martell dead, he's the one person who hates The Mountain most in the world. With the threat of the White Walkers weighing on him, The Hound likely made a decision upon seeing what's left of his brother. Rather than strike now, he would simply remind The Mountain that the day would come when they would meet in battle. As far as The Hound is concerned, no one gets to kill his big brother except for him.
Either that, or Game of Thrones just dropped an 11th-hour prophecy on the fans, and seriously, can anyone handle another cryptic prophecy at this point? The Wall just fell, and that's taking up all of our brain space at the moment. Besides, to believe any other theory would mean accepting that Cleganebowl will never happen, and let's be real, the hype for that particular showdown is not going anywhere anytime soon.
In other words, Cleganebowl is totally happening in season eight, and we can't wait.
Pet Sematary: An Explanation For Every Twisted Thing That Happens in the Book
Warning: spoilers for Pet Sematary ahead!
The 2019 remake of Pet Sematary is now busy terrifying a whole new generation of Stephen King fans, but it's technically been giving people nightmares ever since the publication of King's horror novel back in 1983. The modern take on the story follows the same basic story, but it still makes a few shocking changes to its source material. If you're curious about how King's book ends rather than the new twist on the story, we're here to break things down for you. Let's get spooky, shall we?
The Set-Up
The book begins by introducing us to Louis Creed, a doctor and father of two from Chicago who gets a job opportunity to be director of the University of Maine's campus health service. He and his wife Rachel leap at the opportunity for a more easygoing life and more time to spend with their young kids, Ellie and Gage, and move the family (along with Ellie's cat, Church) to a sprawling rural home in the small town of Ludlow.
Despite the relaxing setting, the family encounters a number of troubling instances right off the bat: Ellie falls off a swing and hurts her knee and little Gage gets stung by a bee. Their neighbor, Jud Crandall, also comes by and warns them that the highway that runs past their house is frequented by tractor trailers that are constantly zooming by at dangerous speeds. (What every parent wants in a home!)
Although Jud comes off as a little quirky, he and Louis strike up a friendship (Louis lost his father as a very young boy, so there's a bit of a father figure dynamic going on). Their bond hits a snag, however, when Jud takes Louis and his kids on a walk in the woods behind their home to show them an eerie pet cemetery (spelled "pet sematary" since it was painted by kids in town) and Rachel freaks out - she argues with Louis that their kids shouldn't be exposed to death so explicitly at their age, and worries that Ellie might be traumatized by what she saw at the cemetery. Rachel lost her own sister when she was little and never recovered from the trauma, and is scared to see her daughter go through something similar.

Louis begins to experience strange supernatural phenomena after a college student, Victor, dies from horrific injuries at his hospital. He dreams of Victor's ghost leading him through the woods, where he warns Louis that he shouldn't go beyond the border of the pet cemetery, "no matter how much you feel you need to." Louis also begins sleepwalking through the woods, waking up with mud and pine needles all over his feet.
On Halloween, Jud's wife Norma suffers a heart attack, but is saved by Louis's quick treatment. To repay Louis for his actions, Jud offers to take Louis to the pet cemetery a month later when Church is run over. But rather than bury Church's body there, Jud takes him "beyond," just as Victor warned Louis about, to the "real" cemetery that was once used by a tribe of Native Americans, the Micmacs, who later fled to escape the Wendigo they claimed lived there. The corpses of whatever is buried in this specific plot of land will come back to life within a day, only they act much more aggressive, meaner, evil, or even display cannibalistic traits.
Jud hoped that Church might escape that fate, but he indeed comes back as a vicious, reeking, angry shell of his former self. (Jud Crandall, Worse Friend of All Time.) Louis wishes he never buried Church there to begin with, but that all changes when 2-year-old Gage dies after being hit by a truck on the road by their home.
The Ending
Drowning in grief, Louis decides to use the burial ground to bring his son back to life, even though Jud warns him not to. Apparently the last human being who was buried there, Timmy Baterman, came back as a malevolent monster, terrorizing the people of Ludlow. Eventually his father was forced to kill Timmy, and then himself. Jud explains that Timmy might have looked like himself, but that a "demon" had possessed his corpse ("Sometimes, dead is better). He also hints that whatever hellish power fuels the burial ground might have had a hand in orchestrating Gage's death.
Louis carries out his plan regardless, but the Gage that returns to the world of the living is demonic, aggressive, and speaks with a different voice. Despite his small size, he's also able to carry out the bloody, gruesome deaths of both Jud and Rachel. Louis finally realizes the error he's made (DUH, dude!) and injects Gage with chemicals from his medical bag, killing his son once and for all. He celebrates by . . . burning Jud's house down and BURYING HIS WIFE'S BODY IN THE EVIL CEMETERY, TOO. Come on, Louis.
Related: There's a Surprisingly Simple (but Still Creepy) Reason Why Pet Sematary Is Spelled That Way
Because Louis apparently has no brain at all, he thinks that burying his wife's corpse right away will have a different effect on things; that she might return more like herself. Making matters worse is that while all of this has been going on, the land appears to be sapping the energy from Louis, leaving him with white hair and wrinkles. A curious colleague decides to investigate by following him into the woods, but flees in terror after hearing what Louis plans to do.
The story wraps up with Louis calmly playing cards back in the house with his back to the door, as Rachel's corpse walks in and places a hand on his shoulder before saying in a scratchy, raspy voice, "Darling."
How the Ending of the 2019 Remake Compares
We won't spoil too much about how the new film ends for you here, but since it was in the movie's trailer, we will say that directors Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer decided to switch out Ellie and Gage's fates. That results in a lot more bloodshed, since 9-year-old Ellie is more physically capable of wielding a scalpel and butcher knife than her 2-year-old brother. That twist, coupled with a number of other interesting (and straight-up bleak) tweaks to King's original horror tale, makes for an ending that's far more depressing than the book - if that's even possible.
This Stirring "Shallow" Dance Video Will Remind You of the First Time You Watched That Scene
A Star Is Born may have come out long ago, but Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's widely adored song "Shallow" still hasn't quite overstayed its welcome. (In fact, just refer to the Billboard Hot 100 chart, where it's spent 26 weeks.) It only seems right, then, that "Shallow" receive the dance video treatment.
At the Millennium Dance Complex in Los Angeles, Rudy Abreu recently put together some stirring choreography for the Oscar-winning song. Rudy's choreography, performed by many of his students in the video, manages to match the tone of "Shallow" in that it's deeply expressive and soul-baring. Watch the moving dance video above, and prepare to get the song stuck in your head once again.
How Different Is the 2019 Pet Sematary Adaptation From the Book? Let's Break It Down
Warning: very spooky spoilers for Pet Sematary ahead!
Before walking into the movie theater last week, I was fully aware that Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer's adaptation of Pet Sematary was going to diverge in a few ways from Stephen King's award-winning 1983 horror novel. (The trailer confirmed as much.) Although a movie documenting the Creed family's plight was first released in 1989, the most recent onscreen iteration of the story introduced another generation to the Wendigo and what happens when "some things are better off dead."
In both King's novel and the 2019 reboot, we meet the Creed family: Louis (Jason Clarke), a doctor who moves his wife and two young children - Ellie and Gage - from a bustling city to the small town of Ludlow, ME, so he can begin a new job at the University of Maine's hospital. He and his wife, Rachel (Amy Seimetz), hope they'll be able to slow down and spend more quality time together. However, after moving into a sprawling farmhouse on a crazy-busy road with a creepy pet cemetery on their property, things don't stay peaceful for long. Keep reading to get a look at the biggest differences between King's novel and the 2019 reboot.
Pro Tip: Keep Your Eyes Peeled For a Surprise Superhero Cameo in Shazam!
Warning: Big ol' spoilers for Shazam! below!
The selection of DC superhero films that have come out of Warner Bros. over the last decade have been hit or miss, to say the least. While Christopher Nolan's much-lauded Dark Knight trilogy made great use of Gotham's gritty atmosphere, the studio's subsequent attempts to re-create the magic - Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, Justice League - have fallen flat. Fortunately, Patty Jenkins's Wonder Woman and James Wan's Aquaman have leaned into the goofier, more human sides of their characters, and are unafraid of splashing a little color and humor into their stories.
This month's Shazam!, directed by David F. Sandberg, is no different, resulting in a charming, heartfelt superhero outing that's simultaneously thrilling, sharp, and even a little bit spooky. (The Seven Deadly Sins monsters attacking a conference room full of people? Nightmares.) But as tonally different as the movie is from the darker, grittier Batman and Superman titles that came before it, there's one moment in the film that connects Shazam to the latter in a tangible way: a cameo from Superman himself.
To set things up, Shazam! follows the adventures of foster kid Billy Batson (Asher Angel) who is granted a pretty sweet set of powers by the Wizard Shazam. With one utterance of the wizard's name ("Shazam!") Billy is transformed into the best version of himself - a tall, muscular, Zachary Levi-shaped adult who can shoot lightning bolts from his hands. Because of this neat trick, he and his superhero-obsessed foster brother Freddy (Jack Dylan Grazer) are able to use Billy's alter ego to get them out of school early, to buy beer, and make them famous on YouTube. As Shazam's profile rises in Philadelphia, Freddy can't help but brag to some school bullies that he personally knows the hero. To prove it, he even promises to have Shazam join him in the cafeteria at lunch the next day.
Of course, due to some selfish extenuating circumstances on Billy's part, Shazam never shows and Freddy ends up the laughing stock of their high school. But Billy finds a way to make it up to his friend by the end of the movie, and he doesn't do it alone.
As Freddy sits down to eat lunch by himself at a table in the cafeteria, he's soon joined by his foster siblings who tell him that they got their lunch periods switched for the day, just for him. Even sweeter? Billy shows up as Shazam, and brings along Superman. We never get to see his face (Henry Cavill has exited the franchise, after all), but how cool would it be to see the heroes team up in Shazam!'s sequel?!
Game of Thrones: Here's When Arya and Gendry Last Saw Each Other
In a world where everyone's fighting to sit on the Iron Throne, friendship is something of a rarity. How many genuine Game of Thrones friendships can you name? And did Arya and Gendry make the cut? It's been so long since we last saw them together that it's easy to forget when exactly they met, but they previously spent quite a lot of time together. While we wait for the final season, let's take a look back at how the two know each other.
Season 1
Unfortunate circumstances bring Arya and Gendry together at the end of season one. Gendry's father, Robert Baratheon, dies from a hunting injury, thus leaving him susceptible to becoming a victim of a purge of Robert's illegitimate children. Ned Stark, Arya's father, is then executed after questioning Joffrey's parentage and right to the throne. Since they both have huge targets on their backs, Arya and Gendry opt to leave King's Landing with the help of Yoren, a recruiter for the Night's Watch. The two meet when other recruits harass Arya - with newly short hair to pose as a boy named Arry - about her unassuming-looking sword. Being the little badass that she is, she defends herself, and Gendry also jumps in to intimidate the bullies.
Season 2
As the recruits make their way to the Wall, they're stopped by King's Landing guards looking for Gendry. Arya, afraid they're after her, confesses her real identity to Gendry. The guards and Lannister soldiers, though oblivious to who they are, end up taking them to Harrenhal as prisoners. There, Arya serves as Tywin Lannister's cupbearer and Gendry works as a blacksmith. Eventually, they end up escaping with the help of Jaqen H'ghar, who assassinates a bunch of guards. When Arya asks how he killed them, he offers to take her to Braavos to learn, but she chooses to stay behind instead (for now!).
Season 3
In season three, they set off to hit up Riverrun, where Arya's mother's family is from, but they instead run into the Brotherhood Without Banners. They witness some weird stuff, like a trial by combat between leader Beric Dondarrion and Sandor Clegane (aka the Hound), and Beric's subsequent resurrection thanks to a Red Priest. In one of their last exchanges, Gendry admits that he's staying with the Brotherhood because he feels they're like family. This troubles Arya, who says she and the Starks could be his family when they find them. However, unaware of his true parentage, he reminds her of the wide class difference that exists between them.
Arya and Gendry ultimately go their separate ways when the Brotherhood sells Gendry to Melisandre for gold. As of season six, they're finally both in the same place and on the same side, but we've yet to see them meet up again. Here's to hoping we see an epic reunion - and that they're still friends, because any other outcome would be heartbreaking!

Who Is the Night King? The White Walkers' Leader Could Be One of These 4 People
The biggest threat in the world of Game of Thrones is the Night King, and his power is only growing. Now that he has his very own dragon and an ever-expanding army of the dead, the leader of the White Walkers is poised to devastate Westeros if Jon, Daenerys, Cersei, and the rest of the disparate cast of human characters refuse to band together. Despite only knowing who their common enemy is in the vaguest sense, Jon and his allies understand the danger their world is in. However, the identity of the Night King remains a mystery. Season six does show the First Man whom the Children of the Forest weaponized to become the first White Walker, but is he the same guy who is so hellbent on conquering Westeros now? Probably, but that shouldn't stop fans from theorizing about who exactly the Night King is and whether or not he could be someone that we already know.
Like the Rest of the World, the Avengers: Endgame Cast Prefers Captain America With a Beard
I think I speak for every Marvel fan out there when I say that the saddest thing we've seen in every trailer for Avengers: Endgame is Captain America (aka Chris Evans) without the glorious beard he sported in Avengers: Infinity War. Like sure, the footage of all the fallen Avengers was pretty heartbreaking, but seeing Steve Rogers's naked jawline after everything we went through with Thanos's snap is just too much. Steve's beard is practically an Avenger itself at this point!
You might think I'm being dramatic (which is fair), but even the cast of Endgame can't deny that the beard is something special. At the film's press conference held in Los Angeles on April 7, the cast joined directors Anthony and Joe Russo - along with a bunch of empty chairs for the "fallen" cast - where they discussed the very important topic of Steve's beard. They obviously weren't allowed to reveal too much about Endgame's plot, but they could cast a vote on whether they preferred their fellow Avenger bearded or not bearded.
The Avengers actors were asked to raise their hands if they preferred Bearded or Not Bearded Chris Evans pic.twitter.com/9O8BJq9fZj
- Kyle Buchanan (@kylebuchanan) April 7, 2019
In a moment caught by New York Times reporter Kyle Buchanan, the cast were asked to raise their hands to vote for Cap with a beard or no beard. While Mark Ruffalo and Jeremy Renner refrained from voting, a majority of the cast voted for bearded Cap, including Brie Larson, Chris Hemsworth, Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, and the Russo brothers. Danai Gurira and Karen Gillan raised their hands for a clean-shaven Cap, while Paul Rudd and Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige voted for both (which is respectable).
"I'm going for neither," Robert Downey Jr. announced. "I like Chris Evans with a beard with prothesis over it, when Joss Whedon asked him to come be the tag for the first Avengers."
Which does the man in question prefer? Bearded Cap of course! Personally, I think if Endgame is the last time Steve Rogers graces our screens, he should go out being the best Steve he can be: a bearded Steve. Check out the videos ahead, as well as a few tweets from fans who appreciate Captain's heavenly facial hair (as they should).
This New Canned Sparkling Wine Means You'll Never Have to Fear Popping Champagne Again
I am never the friend who volunteers to open the bottle of Champagne or sparkling wine because it genuinely makes me nervous. What I can do without hesitation, however, is crack open a can of beer or wine, and a new canned sparkling wine company called Shamps has officially changed the game. Shamps is canned sparkling wine with 110 calories and 5 percent ABV per 12-ounce can, and it comes in six-packs (with a really cute design). It was founded in NYC "by a few sparkling wine-lovers who wished their favorite drink could be more accessible," the website explains, and it's set to debut in May of this year.
Shamps doesn't have exact availability and information about where you'll be able to buy after the launch in May, but it does have a fun Instagram account for photos and updates. It's no secret that canned wine has become more popular than ever, but we've yet to see a Champagne-like version until now. Get ready to cheers at baby showers, make mimosas at the drop of a hat, and stock your fridge with ready-to-crack cans ahead of a celebration.
Grab a Spoon! You'll Want to Eat This Birthday Cake Cool Whip Straight Out of the Tub
Ahem, excuse me? Cool Whip is selling what now? Yep, you're reading this right: Birthday Cake Cool Whip. Cool Whip is here to satisfy all of our childhood cravings with this new birthday-cake-flavored whipped topping, and it's almost like we don't even need a cake anymore! The sweet treat has a soft-pink hue and is flavored to taste like a 6-year-old's dream food, and it even has sprinkles mixed right in, according to a sneak peek posted by The Junk Goat on Instagram.
Scooping a dollop of this on top of pumpkin pie or hot chocolate might seem plain wrong, but it'd make a great topping for ice cream, milkshakes, or even waffles (if you're channeling your inner Leslie Knope). Or freeze it and eat it with a spoon! Just imagine showing up to a family party as a kid and seeing someone break out a tub of this. I would have been shoveling it into my mouth by the spoonful, whether it was my birthday or not.

Travelers Swear by This "Pillow," and, Hear Us Out, It Looks Weird but Also Very Comfy
Whether you are traveling by plane, train, or automobile, taking a nap while on the go can be very troublesome. It's hard to get comfortable, even with a traditional U-shaped travel pillow, and the likelihood of a stiff neck is pretty much a given. Fortunately, it sounds like avid travelers have finally found a game-changing product that'll allow you to nap pretty much anywhere: the Trtl Travel Pillow ($30).
The "pillow" is more of a wrap - made with supersoft fleece and available in four colors (black, gray, red, and coral) - that Velcros around your neck to offer support. According to the brand, the pillow is scientifically proven to support your head and neck unlike any other travel pillow, because it is padded with memory foam ensuring maximum comfort and support while you sleep. Its patented design allows it to fit any neck, jaw, and shoulder shape, too, even though it's half the size of a regular U-shaped pillow, weighing in at only half a pound and folding almost flat, which means you can easily stuff it into a backpack or carryon.
More than 3,000 people have rated the product on Amazon. One recent Amazon reviewer said: "[I] was able to sleep comfortably on the plane. I won't travel without it!" Another reviewer contended, "Best travel pillow I've had, and I've tried them all." Our very own editors have tested and given the funky-looking pillow a must-try seal of approval. So there's nothing more to say; give it a try!

I'm an A-Cup and I Finally Found a Flattering Swimsuit That Makes Me Feel Confident
I'm an A-cup and I have a butt, and finding a swimsuit that fits me perfectly feels impossible at times. The second we started getting some sun this year, I was already hunting for my new suit. I've splurged on $200 choices, one-pieces, and even a couple sexy bikinis, but time and time again I boxed them up and sent them right back. Just as I was ready to give up, I decided to give Reformation's new sustainable swimsuits a try. As a fan of the brand, it was easy to get behind the eco-friendly story - plus, the price was just right.
The Hermosa Bikini Top ($78) and Palms Bikini Bottoms ($58) were the pieces I finally decided on. I just wanted that one black bikini I could always turn to and would make me feel good no matter what . . . and this one ended up being perfect.
In jeans I'm normally a size 6 or 27, and I opted for a medium in the bottoms. They don't sag or cling too tightly, and they make my butt look good. The top in a size small was ideal for my tinier bust. My favorite feature: the top's front tie makes it so you can adjust it to the right fit for you.
The bikini top comes in several other colors and patterns, and the bottoms are available in a variety of different shapes. Keep scrolling to shop all the options and find your match.
