à la mode
Currently in style
À la mode means fashionable or in the current style.
In American English, it almost always describes dessert served with ice cream: apple pie à la mode.
The phrase is French, literally "in the fashion." The ice cream sense arose in America in the late 19th century and now dominates everyday usage.
