The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Jacket

View On Dick's View On Saks Fifth Avenue View On The North Face

What do Hailey Bieber and Emily Ratajkowski have in common? Well, a lot of things, but most importantly, this jacket. Seen on both models, the puffer wins points for how warm and functional it is on top of being particularly stylish in a retro sort of way. We even crowned it the best puffer for warmth, so we promise it's good.

Nècessaire Eucalyptus Body Wash

View On Necessaire.com

Not only did we name this our best overall body wash for how well the formula works, but it also has Courteney Cox's stamp of approval. “With body wash, I don’t want it to have a scent that competes with my perfume, and the fragrance [in this] isn’t overpowering,” she explains. The refreshing eucalyptus scent will linger delicately on the skin without being too heavy. On the formula, Cox told us, “It makes you feel clean, and it looks good in the shower, too.”

BaubleBar Astro 18K Gold Necklace

Priyanka Chopra, Jennifer Anison, Karen Elson, and Hailey Bieber all swear by this (yes, expensive) moisturizer from Augustinus Bader. It certainly will be a splurge but at the same time an excellent gift for anyone who wants skin like the stars.
