We caught up with some of the most iconic stars from the model reality show that had us all glued to our TVs! Shot by renowned photographer Nigel Barker, with coaching by Miss J Alexander, Refinery29’s Summer ’26 Lookbook brought together familiar faces Naima Mora, Toccara Jones, Mercedes Yvette, and Molly O’Connell for a nostalgic day on set.

The Refinery29 Lookbook has always been about more than just trends — it’s about celebrating the creative visionaries who shape culture and collaborating with them to bring the season’s most inspiring fashion and beauty ideas to life. For Refinery29’s Summer 2026 Lookbook, we kept returning to one idea: the making of a star. Not perfection, not polish, but the transformation that happens when someone decides to be seen. – Brooke DeVard , Refinery29, Chief Content Officer

The name on everyone’s lips lately has been Ciara Miller. The Summer House star has been all over our feeds, and now the conversation is moving down to… our feet! Miller has teamed up with DSW on a summer footwear and accessory collection that’s as bold and stylish as she is.
“To usher in a true ‘girls’ girl’ summer through the launch of the exclusive ‘Ciara Edit’,” this curated selection is here to elevate our style with Miller’s picks, according to a press release.
From trendy slim sneakers and sleek kitten heels to sweet mini bags and thick-frame sunglasses, Miller has narrowed down DSW’s new summer arrivals to the pieces most authentic to her. In keeping with her authenticity, Miller is also honoring the Girl Scouts of Greater New York and DSW is making a donation of up to $25,000 from the proceeds of the Ciara Edit.
Miller’s selection of heels and heeled sandals are as ready for the red carpets she walks as they are for vacations and summer weddings we’re attending all season long.
Speaking on the BDBGeneration clear lucite heels, Miller said on DSW’s website: “These are the kind of shoes that make getting dressed feel easy. Simple, clean, and exactly what I’m reaching for.” Meanwhile, for a more casual look, she likes the Jessica Simpson thong kitten heels because “they’re comfortable, they make sense with my everyday looks, and somehow they still elevate the outfit without trying.”

Ciara Miller-Approved Sneakers & Flats
From viral slim retro kicks and trendy Mary Jane sneakers to not-so-basic mules, clogs and flip flops, Miller isn’t afraid of unique silhouettes or bold colorways.
Modeling the Puma Replicatch style, Miller said: “This sneaker is all about personality. It gives the outfit a little edge, but it’s still something I’d wear every day.” It also allows you to easily try out the “unexpected red theory.”

Ciara Miller-Approved Handbags & Sunglasses
These accessory picks are as on-trend as they are timeless. From drawstrings, buckles, and metal handles — all trending handbag details this season and on Miller’s wishlist — to the It-girl Goodr sunglasses she’s reaching for, the TV personality’s picks will no doubt become the cherry on top of all your summer outfits.
