The [J. Crew](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-new-yorker-x-j-crew) 'The Romantics' photo shoot features the stars of the upcoming film by the same name showing off the fashion from J. Crew's fall collection. Adam Brody, Malin Ã…kerman, Josh Duhamel, Katie Holmes, Rebecca Lawrence, and Jeremy Strong pose with cupcakes and [sparkly ensembles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roger-vivier-holiday-2025) in an all-around silly and fun spread.

The J. Crew 'The Romantics' photoshoot is fun-loving and super sweet. I wish my job involved photo shoots like these!
