I recently watched the movie ‘Passengers’ with Jennifer Lawrence. The whole plot was a bit iffy but the movie made up for it with the amazing futuristic set design and wardrobe. J-Law had this gorgeous white and mesh active luxe one-piece swimsuit which she wore in several scenes which I just loved! Get all of the EY MAG beach essentials below. -B xx
