Beyonce’s Sweet Mother’s Day Photo – and More Stars Celebrating Moms

If you had any doubt that Blue Ivy is a mini-me version of Beyoncé, this recent Instagram should clear things up.

Bey, who’s celebrating her fourth Mother’s Day, shared two side-by-side photos: one throwback to the ’80s in which she’s standing with her mom, Tina Knowles, and a second where she’s with Blue. The similarities between the two are only accentuated by the fact that they’re sporting similar hairstyles: center-parted pigtails for Beyoncé and center-parted pigtail topknots for Blue.

“Sending love to Mothers around the world,” the 33-year-old singer captioned the photo, which she shared with her 32.3 million followers on Sunday.

The post captured 776,000 likes (and yes, we assume some of those likes were due in part to Mama Tina’s killer 1980s look composed of shoulder pads, a studded belt and shoulder-grazing earrings).

Other celeb moms also took to Insta to give thanks to their children with adorable #ussies and share how they celebrated the day, while famous daddies also used the platform to honor the mothers of their children.

Which Mother’s Day post is your favorite? And how did you celebrate the day?

Jessica Alba’s Daughters Are Master Chefs in the Making

Jessica Alba has two little sous chefs at home: daughters Honor Marie and Haven Garner.

“It always take three times longer when they help, but I try to have them participate in any kind of cooking,” the actress told PEOPLE at the ZICO Coconut Water event in New York City on Tuesday.

“It’s good for them to understand the process of making food, and where it comes from. They are also more inclined to eat it, if they participate in making it.”

Among their favorite foods to cook up together are meatballs, smoothies and “anything that needs mashing” or “cracking eggs.”

Outside the kitchen, Honor, 7, and Haven, 3½, are two growing girls with different interests and personalities.

“Havey loves making people laugh. She loves building things. She likes blocks and Legos and cars. She likes to race, unless she knows she is going to lose — then she doesn’t like to race. She is just really funny,” Alba, 34, shares.

“Honor is a little more self aware and poised.”

How Jessica Alba Gets Her Kids to Behave (Hint: It Involves Makeup!)

Talk about an overachiever.

Jessica Alba, who has a billion dollar success with The Honest Company, is back with Honest Beauty, a skincare and cosmetics line focused on safe ingredients to produce radiant looks (and maybe even a bit of the creator’s coveted glow).

“It’s so gratifying to have an idea and see it from start to finish,” Alba, 34, told PEOPLE at Honest Beauty’s pop up shop Thursday at The Grove in Los Angeles. “To have the physical product and now a physical space is really cool.”

The mom of daughters Haven Garner, 4, and Honor Marie, 7, drew inspiration for the line from her own family tree.

“I discovered chamomile and calendula when I had Honor. They smell good and they take down inflammation. So we put a lot of that in our skincare,” says Alba.

“My grandmother loved aloe. Anytime I had anything wrong with me, she would come in with a green hand and smear it on me. I used to hate it as a kid, but now it’s a fond memory.”

And though Alba says she prefers a “no makeup makeup” look on her days off, she loves going big when the occasion calls for it.

“Whether it’s for moms on the go who want makeup with staying power, or for someone who wants to really go glam, these products can do both,” she explains.

According to the mom of two, the collection can even keep a couple of rambunctious kids busy.

“My girls are in my makeup all day long,” says Alba with a laugh. “They love putting it on me. Whenever they’re fighting, I’m like, ‘Stop yelling at each other and I’ll let you put my lipstick on!’ ”

Let’s be honest, Jessica Alba‘s kids have the cutest bedrooms in the world.

And it’s all thanks to fashion designers and stylists, Emily Current and Meritt Elliott, who have collaborated with PBTeen (for the third time!) to create dreamlike bedroom makeovers for Alba’s daughters, Honor Marie, 7½, and Haven Garner, 4.

“[Emily and Meritt] really get my sense of style and pay attention to every little detail,” Alba says of the finished product, which is featured in the new issue of Domino magazine.

Being that “Haven was ready to move from a crib to a big-girl bed,” her eclectic timeless bedroom décor could last her for years to come.

It features a gold canopy bed frame with a ladylike floral-print duvet cover paired with striped sheets and an edgy skull pillow, gold “X” and “O” letter wall embellishments and an array of bunny decorations, including a lamp and hamper.

“Stripes, scallops, polka dots and sequins might sound like an unlikely mix, but together they are magic!” says Emily + Meritt. “An easy rule to follow when mixing prints is to keep the color palette similar—you can’t go wrong with black, white & gold!”

Honor’s chic chamber includes some of the most notable pieces from the collection, including a white Parisian tufted headboard with a feminine vintage green duvet with ruffle detailing and black-and-white leopard dot sheets, an assortment of stylish pillows and a black wooden desk with a gold bunny-shaped chair.

“Honor is creative and loves to draw and paint, so she adores the pin boards she can use to display her treasures, art and photos,” says Alba.

Jessica Alba‘s daughters are the (unwitting) stars of her social media accounts, but she just can’t help herself — she is so proud of her girls.

“They’re just so funny to me,” she tells PEOPLE of daughters Honor Marie, 7½, and Haven Garner, 4, at the 2015 March of Dimes Celebration of Babies Luncheon.

So what is the mogul capturing for SnapChat? Just “what every 7 and 4-year-old do.”

“To me, it’s all groundbreaking, but they’re just average, funny, sweet little girls,” she shares.

Alba, who was presented with the 2015 March of Dimes Grace Kelly award at the luncheon, says she was excited to receive the “huge honor.”

“The work that they do is so massive, and it’s so important, and it really does save lives,” she says of March of Dimes, adding, “I made healthier choices as a pregnant woman because of the work that March of Dimes has done. They really lay the foundation to give the most vulnerable the best chance at life.”

Alba’s already focused on her next big project, however: the holidays.

“We always have an 80-person sit-down dinner at my house so I’m preparing for it,” she shares. The actress hosts the dinner, which is potluck style, but also has some help in the kitchen from Haven and Honor.t

“They like to mix and they like to mush their hands in things, but that’s kind of it,” she jokes.

Jessica Alba makes balancing being a mom, wife, actress and businesswoman look effortless — but, she says, it isn’t always so easy.

In the spring issue of Parents Latina magazine, Alba, who co-founded The Honest Company, shares some advice for mothers looking to start their own businesses.

“Don’t get overwhelmed trying to do everything at once,” she says. “Lay out what you can get done now and what will take longer.”

Alba warns these busy women not to let “mom guilt” get the best of them.

“Don’t be hard on yourself. Doing your best to be present wherever you are is what’s important,” she says. “Make time to eat healthy and stay active. It’s worth it to recharge once a week: Get sleep, have a date night or a girls’ night in, and drink some wine!”

The mom of Honor, 7½, and Haven, 4½, also opens up about how her Mexican roots have influenced how she is raising her daughters.

“My heritage is all about family, which always comes first. And respect for yourself and for your elders is something that I’m passing on to my daughters,” she says. “I make sure they know where they came from and that they spend time with their relatives, but they’re not surrounded by it all the time. We have different cultures in the house.”

Jessica Alba shared an adorable series of pictures and videos on Snapchat, while at her 4-year-old daughter Haven‘s preschool graduation on Friday.

The strawberry blonde tot smiled bright in the Snaps, waving to her mom during the opening of the Montessori school’s ceremony.

Dressed in the school’s official blue t-shirt and khaki shorts, Haven said the pledge of allegiance, and beamed during a shot while holding her diploma.

The 35-year-old actress added rainbow and sunflower stickers to the stories, including statement illustrations like “Can You Not,” “OMG,” “Awesome” and of course, “Love.”

Alba, who also has a 7-year-old daughter Honor Marie with husband Cash Warren, included a part of a speech from one of the school’s female teachers — whom she deemed “Havie’s fave teacher.”

“I consider myself incredibly fortunate to make a living this way,” the teacher said, “and I want to thank you the parents for giving me the honor of teaching your amazing children.”

After the ceremony, Alba and Warren, 37, headed off to the Los Angeles premiere of Seoul Searching. The couple celebrated their eighth wedding anniversary last month.

The comedy, set in 1980s Korea, had an ’80s prom theme, which Alba rocked in a gold-belted, long-sleeve, low-cut black dress, gold-studded short boots and gold Octavia Elizabeth earrings.

Inside, actor Ken Jeong gave an opening speech, which Alba captured part of on video. “I love Ken Jeong” she captioned the post, using a heart emoji.

Later on, she dined at Indian gastropub Badmaash in downtown L.A.

Jessica Alba ‘s daughter Honor is already a Snapchatting machine.

As Alba, 35, prepared for daughter Haven‘s 5th birthday party, the 8-year-old seemed to snag her mom’s phone for a soirée of her own.

“I’m just a little girl who doesn’t know how to find her own way home. I’m so sad,” Honor joked in a Snapchat video using one of the app’s filters — this one equipped with a huge, red bow, enlarged eyes and rosy cheeks.

In a series of Snaps, the little girl chronicled the preparations for her little sister’s party, including a photo of a table full of sweets.

“Getting ready with the cupcakes and cake, the Snap read.

Honor soon stood with the birthday girl in a video clip in which she put what appeared to be lipstick on little Haven.

The two then cuddled close to each other and puckered their lips.


In the end of the Snap spree, all party preparations seemed to be complete as a photo showing a watermelon-shaped table filled with food read “Everything is ready!!!!!!!!!”

In another Snap, a series of balloons spelling “HAVEN” hung over the watermelon-themed decorations.

As a mom, wife, actress and businesswoman, it makes sense that Jessica Alba would have daughters Honor Marie, 8, and Haven Garner, 5, visit her when she’s hard at work — especially for the Honest Company.

“They usually come to my office and they see me at work a lot,” Alba, 35, tells PEOPLE.

“They saw my first office, which was like 6,000 square feet and my next one, which was like 28,000 square feet, and my third one that we just moved into that’s like 86,000 square feet,” adds Alba, who is one of the business’s co-founders.

“So they’ve seen the growth of the company and the amount of people that are there now.

“They like to ask me a lot of questions about it and how it all works,” she says.

But even though her girls visit her pretty often while she’s at the office, Alba says that when it comes to seeing her on a film set, they only visit “a little bit.”

“For the most part, they don’t really come,” says the actress, who notes she hasn’t “done a lot of movies since I’ve had them.”

However, when she filmed her latest movie — Mechanic: Resurrection — Alba did bring her younger daughter along while they were shooting out of the country.

“We just did some pick-up shots in Bulgaria for, like, two days,” says Alba, who stars alongside Jason Statham in the action-thriller sequel.

She continues, “[Haven] just hung out in the trailer with another producer’s daughter, who was her age, and they just played Barbies [and] watched Peppa Pig.”

Goopies, rejoice!

Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle brand Goop, a destination for health, beauty, style and everything in between, is gearing up for their third wellness summit in Los Angeles on May 18 — and the speaker list is loaded.

Goop just announced that Taraji P. Henson will join the all-star panel, led by Paltrow herself. Celebs Jessica Alba, Busy Philipps and Olivia Wilde had already signed on.

Paltrow will also host a conversation with Eat Pray Love author Elizabeth Gilbert, and former Dancing with the Stars pro Julianne Hough will teach attendees her dance-based workout.

As usual, In Goop Health attendees will have the chance to participate in wellness-trend workshops and test out food and fitness pop-ups, as well as hear from some of the entertainment media’s most powerful and motivating women. This health fest comes at a cost, though — tickets are $1,000 for the day, with a longer Wellness Weekender pass including a hotel stay and additional events available for $4,500.

Paltrow and her Goop staff will take a holistic approach to health at the L.A. summit, as they did at the New York City event in March.

“From the emotional to the physical, to the mental and the spiritual – which I think, we all theorize are inextricably connected,” Paltrow told the NYC crowd in March. “ will cover some of the topics that we think are most pertinent to us: intimacy and masculinity, burn out, healing crisis, and new frontiers of medicine like the psychedelic renaissance. Don’t worry there’s no acid in your gift bag!”

Jessica Alba Says She Has to Take a Shot of Tequila Before Filming Love Scenes

Jessica Alba is getting real about what it’s really like for actors to film love scenes — and why she needs the help of tequila to do it.

In a recent interview on The Skinny Confidential Him & Her PodcastAlba, 38, and her husband, Cash Warren, a film producer, discussed why it’s been helpful to have a partner “who understands” the Hollywood industry.

“What’s nice about having a partner who understands the business… is that he understands what it takes to do it,” Alba shared. “I’m working 16 hours a day, it’s not glamorous, it’s pretty intense.”

Warren, 40, then joked that filming sex scenes is one part of his wife’s job that he doesn’t understand.

“The one part of the business I don’t fully understand is that there’s no way hooking up with someone else is not fun,” he said. “She’s always like, ‘Oh there’s so many people around, the director’s there.’ But you’re still having fun, that dude’s a stud… there’s no way you’re not gonna enjoy hooking up with him.”

“I guess that’s the difference between me and you. It’s disgusting most of the time because are usually a stranger,” Alba pointed out.

The mom of Hayes Alba, 1½, and daughters Haven Garner, 7½, and Honor Marie, 11 next month, then gave two examples of famous actors she had filmed love scenes with. Alba recalled starring alongside Pierce Brosnan in 2014’s Some Kind of Beautiful and Bruce Willis in 2005’s Sin City. 

“I think Pierce Brosnan and Bruce Willis are very attractive gentlemen, but like, it’s weird,” the Honest Company founder admitted.

“When you’re choosing to want to be with someone in that way, it’s very intimate,” she continued. “You’re breathing on someone, it’s all there, you’re smelling the skin… You want to choose who you’re doing that with, and you gotta really pretend.”

“I would have to have a shot of tequila,” podcast host Lauryn Evarts Bosstick said after Alba explained all of the negative aspects of filming intimate scenes — including that they can sometimes take 15 or 16 hours to film.

“I do have to,” Alba replied. “I’m gonna say I’m unprofessional, 100 percent. Because I feel like really good entertainment people don’t have to do that.”

She continued, “Sometimes it’s days and days of the same thing, and you have to recreate that moment every time, recreate the peak of your intimacy from this angle and that angle and this angle and that angle,” she continued. “And by the way — everyone’s right here! Nothing about it is alone in the room.”

Jessica Alba Reveals Why She Started Going to Therapy with 10-Year-Old Daughter Honor

Jessica Alba is getting candid about taking her 10-year-old daughter Honor Marie with her to therapy.

While speaking at Her Campus Media’s eighth annual Her Conference in Hollywood this weekend, Alba, 38, said that she is hoping to “learn to be a better mother to her and communicate better with her” through therapy, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

“Some people think, like in my family, you talk to a priest and that’s it,” Alba said. “I don’t really feel comfortable talking to him about my feelings.”

“I didn’t grow up in an environment where you talked about this stuff, and it was just like shut it down and keep it moving,” she continued. “So I find a lot of inspiration just in talking to my kids.”

In addition to Honor, Alba and her husband Cash Warren share daughter Haven Garner, 7, and son Hayes, 1.

This isn’t the first time Alba has gotten candid about her parenting.

“Things aren’t gonna always come easy in life and anything that’s worth having, you have to work for,” she told PEOPLE last September. “I wasn’t naturally really good at anything, so it always took a great deal of effort to accomplish anything for me.”

“It’s just a good life lesson for my kids,” she added.

Alba has echoed this sentiment in other interviews.

“If my kids complain when Cash and I go to work, I say, ‘Do you like your life? Because it’s not free. Your dad and I work hard so you can have everything you have. That’s why you take care of your stuff,’” she said last November in an interview with Parents magazine.

“And guess what? If you don’t work hard, your life won’t always be like this,” she continued. “You’ve got to figure out what you want to do. Go to school, do well, treat others well. I’m hardcore about that.”

“I’ve been a feminist my whole life because I’ve always believed in equality. My husband and kids believe in it too,” the actress continued. “It’s so basic. Be kind. Be fair. And stand up for anyone who is not being treated with fairness or kindness. It’s not complicated.”

The saying goes that, “Behind every successful woman is herself.” But as Jessica Alba and Shani Darden know, sometimes there’s also a best friend there backing her up.

At the launch party of Darden’s brand-new skin-care studio in Beverly Hills, California, on Thursday night, the Honest Company co-founder and expert esthetician were both on hand to explain how they’ve been by each other’s sides for more than a decade — before their kids were born and when each of their respective businesses were just ideas.

“ of us were born into privilege,” Alba, 38, tells PEOPLE exclusively. “We figured it out. People can only see the shiny, fun side of it — and that’s great — but they have no idea the journey that got you here.”

“This is a story of friendship,” she adds. “It’s a story of resilience. It’s the story of a girl who had a dream.”

Darden had been Alba’s go-to facialist for years at a salon in Los Angeles, but the two didn’t really talk until they found out that they were both pregnant with their first children around the same time.

“I had to see a lot because my skin was messed up when I got pregnant with Honor my hormones,” Alba tells PEOPLE. “But I also told her I was pregnant before anybody knew because I couldn’t use any products … and then, my last facial, she was like, ‘You probably won’t see me here because I’m pregnant.’ ”

“I was like, ‘Oh my God!’ ” she continues. “I showed her my stretch marks. I was like, ‘This is what’s going to happen to you.’ I showed her my boobs, my stomach … I was like, ‘Nobody shows you this stuff!’ ”

At the time, Alba didn’t have any other friends who were moms or pregnant yet, so the two instantly bonded. “After that whole situation, she started inviting me to all baby things,” Darden says. “That’s how we became friends.”

RELATED: Jessica Alba Has an Epic Answer for Her Kids When They Complain About Her Working

Since Alba had trouble finding products to use that’d be totally safe during her pregnancy, the idea for her wellness company, Honest, was born.

“So many people don’t realize that Jessica came up with Honest totally on her own,” Darden says. “At the time, we were just new friends, and I remember her having the idea and sending 8 million emails a day like, ‘We’re not using this, we’re only using wood, no shoes in the house … ‘ She would be this crazy person about it, and I think people don’t realize that was all her.”

As Alba grew her company and Darden grew her clientele — which now includes stars like Lea Michele, Emmy Rossum and Kelly Rowland — by doing facials in the back house of her property, they were also growing their families and quickly starting to realize the pressures of being working moms.

“Everyone’s like, ‘If you could have a superpower, what would it be?’ I would love to clone myself,” Alba jokes to PEOPLE. “I want to be everywhere.”

Darden adds, “I’m crazy, but you work so much that it’s hard. She has a little baby, she’s got three kids. So it’s hard when you’re not there.”

The actress is now mom to son Hayes Alba, 17 months, plus daughters Haven Garner, 7½, and Honor Marie, 11, whom she shares with her husband, Cash Warren. Darden, on the other hand, has two daughters of her own.

“I think we all are trying to figure out, like, how much do you put into the thing that keeps you stimulated, keeps you excited and keeps you motivated?” Alba says. “And then how much do you put into your personal and raising them and instilling values and knowing that most of what you say — what goes in and out — and everything you do is what lands with them?”

“You teach them by doing, and what’s cool is I didn’t start off with anything,” she adds. “My kids see that I had an idea and I made that idea become something. And Shani had an idea and she made that idea become something.”

“Your kids watching you go through the process of failing and pivoting and moving forward and facing challenges, and figuring it out shows them resilience,” Alba continues. “It shows them that they can then have an idea and create the reality that they want to have.”

“I think that’s very important and something that people don’t always talk about with women. People always talk about that with men and people are never asking men, ‘How do you have a family and have a career and how do you balance it all?’ ”

When it comes to the difficult parts of her journey, Alba isn’t afraid to make that known to her kids. “I feel like both of us are very conscientious of being appropriately honest with our children about the journey,” she says.

“It’s not always easy, and people aren’t going to hand you something. If you want anything, you got to work at it,” adds the L.A.’s Finest actress.

Darden credits Alba for being the push she needed to open her new skin-care studio, which has four rooms where clients can get treatments including custom peels, LED-light-bed therapy and an Honest facial using Alba's products.

“I always needed to be pushed because so much of this is uncomfortable for me,” Darden tells PEOPLE. “I wouldn’t have done this. It has been a great journey, and it’s truly about our friendship.”

Now, both women are also focused on making sure their own daughters have a healthy understanding of beauty as they grow up in the public eye.

“I want my girls to be proud of the nooks and crannies that make them, them,” Alba says. “I don’t want them to feel like they need to alter who they are to feel good about themselves.”

“And weirdly, our kids are mixed. Both of our kids,” she continues. “We have two daughters who don’t look related. Her, she has a blonde-haired, blue eyed , and I have a redhead. The other one looks exactly like her and has olive skin. Similar with mine, my older one looks exactly like my husband.”

“It’s celebrating them as their imperfect perfect selves, because the idea of perfection is crazy — it’s only society telling you that you need to be something that you’re not,” Alba says. “What is actually perfect is the thing that makes you unique. And so we always try to encourage that in our kids.”

As soon as we spotted Alba’s earrings, we needed to know where they were from. The sleek geometric shape is modern, chic, and a fun way to give our classic round hoops a break from our regular jewelry rotation. Of course, being a stylish celebrity Alba has her pick of luxurious (and expensive!) designer styles, but as luck will have it, these babies are from the beloved brand, BaubleBar, and only $36! Alba isn’t the first celeb to rock a piece from the super fashionable, fun, and affordable jewelry brand — other stars such as Julia Roberts, Olivia Palermo, and even The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle — have all been spotted in its gorgeous jewelry styles.

Alba’s beloved hoops sold immediately after she wore them, but they are finally back in stock available for pre-order. So if you’re looking for a fresh pair of hoop earrings for summer, we suggest heading over to BaubleBar and snagging the Vanessa Hoop Earrings before they’re gone again!

When it comes to jewelry, Jessica Alba loves to play favorites. Though she may have her pick at those pricier designer pieces, lately she can’t seem to stop wearing earrings from a surprisingly affordable jewelry brand: BaubleBar. In the past two months, the actress and entrepreneur has worn at least two pairs of earrings from the beloved brand (as far as we can see on Instagram).

Most recently, she wore BaubleBar’s Fiji Drop Earrings during a press tour in Croatia for her upcoming show, L.A.’s Finest. The dangly shell stunners are embellished with delicate silver crystals to give them a chic flare, perfect to pair with a classic LBD like Alba did or to throw on with your swimsuit and coverup to really project those beach vibes.

If you want to scoop up a pair for summer, we recommend doing so quickly because the sleek Vanessa Hoop earrings she wore in May sold out soon after she was spotted in them — and we have no doubt her Fiji Drop earrings will go quickly, too.

Gabrielle Union & Jessica Alba Speak Out on L.A.'s Finest 'Devastating' On-Set Accident

L.A.’s Finest stars Gabrielle Union and Jessica Alba are breaking their silence on the “heartbreaking” on-set accident that left showrunner Brandon Sonnier with a partially amputated leg.

On Saturday, Union, 46, grew emotional at the 59th Monte Carlo Television Festival when she recalled how the crime drama’s cast and crew were left without words after the incident in late February.

“I don’t know if there’s a word that’s big enough to describe how the whole production felt, how everyone associated with the show felt,” she said at the event, according to Variety. “I don’t know if saying ‘heartbreaking’ or ’devastating’ is enough. I don’t have a word.”

Despite the horrifying injury, the actress said Sonnier was optimistically readjusting to his “new normal,” adding, “He was back coaching on the sidelines of his kids’ games within a week and a half. We were like… and he was like, ‘It’s my new normal; get on board, guys.’ ”

Alba, 38, also praised Sonnier’s resilience, and said they have been exchanging text messages that show he’s already back in the writers’ room and looking ahead to the show’s future after it was renewed this week for a second season.

“A fully hands-on father… yes, he is so resilient and inspiring,” Alba said at the same event, Variety reported. “But when you go through something that is like that, you can see the type of family and community that you surround yourself with, and he and all of us really came together as a family in a way that you just never even realize until something like that happens.”

Sonnier, who serves as L.A.’s Finest’s co-showrunner and executive producer, was injured along with his producing partner Brandon Margolis during a car scene involving a stunt vehicle in San Pedro, California.

The two were in the video village area when the vehicle rammed into a cargo crate, which then slammed into the video village, according to Deadline.

Sonnier’s leg was reportedly pinned in the crash, and both men were taken to the hospital to be treated for their injuries.

Margolis was released shortly after, but Sonnier had to have his leg amputated just below the knee. The accident shut down production of the show, which premiered in May, and filming the following day was canceled.

“Our hearts go out to our SPT family members who were injured and we pray for a full recovery,” Sony Pictures Television Jeff Frost and co-Presidents Chris Parnell and Jason Clodfelter told Deadline.

“We are saddened by this incident and send our most heartfelt wishes to our two beloved crew members, hoping their recovery is both swift and complete,” added Katherine Pope, Head of Spectrum Originals.

L.A.’s Finest is based on the Bad Boys film series and follows Sydney Burnett (Union) as she leaves her complicated past behind to become an LAPD detective alongside her new partner Nancy McKenna (Alba).

Summer is officially here, which means there’s no better time to break out your favorite little white dress than right now.

The actress and Honest Beauty mogul paired the ensemble with pops of colorful accessories, such as burnt orange platform heels, a lime green handbag, and a pair of gorgeous statement earrings. Everything about her look makes us immediately want to jet off to Italy in a pretty LWD (sigh).
