June is a tricky month, you guys. The weather is finally perfect for outdoor dinner parties and poolside hangs, but the nights still end early because the sun dips around 8 p.m. Sure, the popular fix for keeping the party going is to load up your balcony or patio with plug-in string lights. But the problem is always finding a conveniently located outlet and praying no one trips over the cords. Enter: the solar-powered light. No extra-long wires, lightbulbs, or batteries needed—solar-powered lanterns have been trending hard, and honestly Drew Barrymore is on board.
Recently, the actor and TV host shared an Instagram gallery of her favorite outdoor entertaining essentials, and I’m obsessed. It was full of comfy woven lawn chairs and even a cooler-speaker hybrid, proving Barrymore knows the ingredients for a showstopping garden get-together. But one of her picks looked so familiar. Earlier this spring, Domino editors named the Ballard Designs solar LED lantern our favorite minimal outdoor solar light—the aesthetic is unreal.
The chic white fixture, made of a ribbed translucent plastic, lasts up to eight hours (it takes four hours to juice up via USB, or 12 hours when you let the sun do its thing). There’s also a leather handle for easy carrying, ensuring any setting can get a glow up. And aside from the Noguchi vibes it’s giving, we love that both the 11- and 14-inch-wide versions ring in under $100. Brighten up your summer the sustainable (and celebrity-approved!) way—PSA, this one’s a must.
