Hilary Duff and Serena Williams Demand You Purchase Plastic Scraps for Thirteen Dollars

A-listers are allegedly ditching their couture and urging the general public to dress in budget-friendly synthetic blends this summer season.

Honey, the economy has finally hit the Hills. Our favorite legends are apparently shopping in the same digital clearance bins as the rest of us. Hilary Duff and Serena Williams have been spotted looking incredible in swimwear that costs less than a fancy salad in West Hollywood. It’s a total vibe shift from the usual diamond-encrusted kaftans we expect from our yacht-hopping queens. Now, don't get it twisted—just because the suit is thirteen bucks doesn't mean we’re going to look like Serena on the court. I tried on a similar black bikini and I didn't look like a Grand Slam champion; I looked like a ham that had been expertly tied up for the holidays. But if Jessica Alba says a one-piece is the move, we are clicking 'Add to Cart' until our bank accounts scream for mercy. Is this a sign of the celebrity apocalypse? Are they finally becoming relatable, or is this just a very clever way to make us feel better about our prime-shipping addictions? Either way, expect every public pool to be filled with people wearing the exact same Amazon find by mid-July. Just try not to get the cheap polyester stuck in the filter, babes.
