Gird your loins: Miranda Priestly is back. Last July, Puck News first reported that a sequel to the 2005 film The Devil Wears Prada was in the works, centering around today’s “challenges facing print media,” with Meryl Streep reprising her iconic role inspired by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour. However, details about the potential sequel were kept tight... until now.

On June 30, Disney’s 20th Century Studios announced that The Devil Wears Prada 2 was officially in production, sharing a teaser video on Instagram filled with the first film’s most memorable quotes. While the studio didn’t reveal anything else, more details have emerged about the sequel’s plot and which cast members will be returning over 20 years later.

The Devil Wears Prada is based on Lauren Weisberger’s bestselling book that fictionalizes the author’s time as Wintour’s assistant at Vogue. It focuses on Anne Hathaway’s character, Andrea “Andy” Sachs, a journalist who unexpectedly enters the world of high-fashion publishing by becoming Miranda’s assistant.

The film was an immediate success, grossing over $326 million worldwide, earning two Oscar nominations (including a Best Actress nod for Streep), and spawning a West End stage musical adaptation that currently stars Vanessa Williams. Now, viewers will get an update on Miranda and the Runway staff. Read on for everything you need to know about The Devil Wears Prada 2.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 Cast

As previously reported, Streep will return as Runway Editor-in-Chief Miranda Priestly, while Emily Blunt will reprise her role as her high-strung assistant Emily. It is now confirmed that Hathaway will return as Andy, and Stanley Tucci will step into the shoes of Runway Art Director Nigel once again.

On July 8, Variety confirmed that two more characters from the original film will also be returning. Tracie Thomas, who played Andy’s best friend Lily, is set to reprise her role, while Tibor Feldman will once again play Irv Ravitz, the chairman of Runway’s parent company, Elias-Clark.

The sequel will add a slew of both A-list and up-and-coming cast members. Kenneth Branagh will play Miranda’s current husband, whose name is not yet known. On July 8, Deadline reported that Bridgerton star Simone Ashley will star in an undisclosed role.

Later that day, Variety confirmed that Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux, The Office alum B.J. Novak, and The Sex Lives of College Girls star Pauline Chalamet had all joined the cast. Other notable cast additions include Broadway stars Conrad Ricamora and Helen J. Shen, as well as comedian Caleb Hearon.

On July 21, Entertainment Weekly announced that Colin From Accounts star Patrick Brammall is also joining the cast. A source told the outlet that his character will be “the new object of Andy’s romantic affection.”

Who Won’t Be Returning?

One actor who will not be returning is Adrian Grenier, who played Andy’s boyfriend, Nate, in the first film. Over the years, many fans have argued that Nate is the film’s true villain — not Miranda — as he didn’t support Andy’s ambitions. (Even Grenier partially agrees.) The couple reconciles at the end of the film, but many fans will be thrilled to learn that Nate is no longer in the picture.

Another actor’s status is up in the air. Entertainment Weekly asked Gisele Bündchen if she would reprise her role as Runway staffer Serena, and one of her representatives simply responded with a sad, crying emoji, implying that she wouldn’t be returning. When asked to expand, they eventually replied, “I’m not in a position to comment on that matter at this time.”

Will There Be Any Surprise Cameos?

While the cast is already stacked, more surprises might be in store. Sydney Sweeney was reportedly spotted on the New York set, with TMZ and Entertainment Tonight sharing footage of what appears to be the actor leaving her trailer. However, this could be a false alarm, as she was seen with the Euphoria cast in Los Angeles days prior. If that was indeed Sweeney on set, fans can likely expect some major cameos in the sequel.

A cameo that seems more guaranteed is none other than Lady Gaga. On Oct. 10, Variety reported that the singer is set to make an appearance in the sequel after she was spotted on the Milan set, in between shows on her Mayhem Ball Tour. However, no details about her role are yet known.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 Plot

According to Variety, The Devil Wears Prada 2 will see Miranda nearing the end of her career amid a decline in print magazine sales. In an embarrassing twist, she must grovel to her former assistant, Emily, who now works as an executive at a luxury fashion conglomerate, in order to earn their advertising dollars.

On July 21, Hathaway did tease a tantalizing first look at her character’s return on Instagram. “Andy Sachs 2025,” she captioned a photo of herself donning a sleek, striped vest and matching trousers.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 Release Date & Trailer

On Nov. 12, 20th Century Studios dropped an early holiday gift: the first teaser trailer, which sees Miranda strut through the Runway offices — set to Madonna’s “Vogue,” naturally — and onto the elevator. Andy steps in as the doors close. “Miranda,” she says. “Took you long enough,” replies her erstwhile boss.

In addition to the tantalizing first look, the release date was revealed as May 1 — fittingly, days before the 2026 Met Gala. (“A sequel? For spring? Groundbreaking,” jokes the caption.)

On Feb. 1, the official trailer was unveiled, which finally confirms the sequel’s plot. Andy has officially reunited with Miranda as Runway’s new features editor, but in true Miranda fashion, she doesn’t remember her at all. The ever-loyal Nigel still works at Runway, and the trio reunites with Emily, who now runs a luxury company, in hopes of getting her advertising dollars.

“You also know her?” Miranda asks Andy, leading Emily to explain, “We were at Runway at the same time, Miranda.”

“Really? Where was I?” she wonders. Some things never change.

Finally, in a March 12 teaser announcing that tickets are now on sale, fans got a closer look at the core crew at work — plus a peek at one of the film’s highly anticipated supporting stars, Simone Ashley.

While the teaser doesn’t give away too many specifics, it seems to show that Ashley’s character plays an important role at Runway — where she has a prime conference-table seat at Miranda’s side.

This article will be updated as more information becomes available.

Hilary Duff has always been at the forefront of fashion. In the early aughts, the millennial icon helped shape the decade’s most iconic trends, including skirts over pants, skinny scarves, and chunky platforms — all of which have experienced a revival in recent years.

Two decades later, Duff continues her adventurous style streak. During her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, she wore not one, but two of today’s spiciest looks.

Hilary’s “Wet” ‘Fit

After a decade-long musical hiatus, Duff gifted fans the release of her sixth album, Luck... or Something in February, and her accompanying Lucky Me Tour, her first world tour in 18 years. As expected, she’s been on a press run to promote the project and stopped at Fallon’s late-night talk show on Monday, March 9, to perform her new single “Roommates.”

In the spicy song’s music video, directed by Matty Peacock, Duff gets rained on and ends up with a soaked yellow dress. The Younger actor paid homage to the visuals during her live performance and wore a white “naked dress” from Di Petsa that appeared wet. Lifted straight from the label’s Fall 2026 collection, which debuted during London Fashion Week, the dress featured draping throughout, as well as diaphanous areas that clung to her skin, giving the illusion that it was soaked through. If that wasn’t spicy enough, it also featured a vertiginous side slit that ran all the way up to her hip.

“Naked” Shoes, Too

She paired the daring style with a second “naked” trend: PVC shoes. Her clear, toe-baring choice was a pointed-toe slingback pump that featured a silver toe cap — the footwear’s sole opaque detail.

Her Sartorial Switch-Up

For her sit-down interview, she changed into an LBD from Helmut Lang. Crafted in faux pony hair, it featured skinny straps and a midi hemline. For a coordinated all-black moment, she paired it with sleek, pointed-toe slingbacks.

She’s back, and so is her style star era.

Jen Affleck is ready to do it all — and the past year proves that she can. In July, she welcomed her third child with her husband, Zac Affleck. By September, she was competing on Dancing with the Stars Season 34, all while caring for a newborn and filming The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 4 (streaming now).

“I’m proud of myself for going on that stage eight weeks postpartum, and trying the best that I can to navigate everything while still trying to get my story across,” Jen tells Bustle. “Being a mother is empowering, and also going after your dreams and goals is empowering.” Jen didn’t win the mirrorball, but that’s almost besides the point.

Going on the show didn’t just make Jen lifelong friends and endear her to Southern California — “I think there’s a reason LA’s calling me back,” she says with a playful gleam in her eye, but it also helped the 26-year-old tap into a long-forgotten creative side, like her love for writing music.

“You become a mom, and you forget about the things that you did growing up,” she says. “But I realized after Dancing with the Stars, if I was able to make this happen, why not go back to the things that I really enjoy?”

While the experience ushered in a bright new perspective, she acknowledges there were bumps along the way. Though she started Season 4 in a friendly place with castmate (and fellow DWTS contender) Whitney Leavitt, even crashing with her family until she found a place in LA, she ended the latest installment reiterating her belief that Whitney is “transactional.”

After Whitney expressed her hurt that Jen didn’t congratulate her for booking Chicago, Jen said she didn’t feel like they’re “actual, genuine friends” — a comment that took Whitney aback, prompting her explosive airing of grievances.

Reflecting on the season, Jen says she was experiencing both “a lot of brain fog” and the pressure to show up her best as a mom — but she’d do things differently today. “That’s where my head was at, and why I wasn’t really able to see the other side of the story. But now looking back, I do know. And so when you know better, [you can] do better, right?”

Below, Jen opens up further about Whitney, life in LA, and what comes next.

This season, you mentioned church in LA is different than it is in Utah. How do you feel leaving that environment has informed or inspired you?

A faith crisis isn’t something you just go through overnight. It can be, honestly, a lifetime of trying to navigate — because at least for me, being raised in the church, a lot of what’s been taught to me is so ingrained that I’m having to do a lot of deconstructing and figure out what it is I’m trying to take away and remove from my life.

There’s a lot more pressure in Utah [to conform], especially with the majority of the state being [Mormons]. In California, I definitely feel like there’s not as much pressure, because it’s way more diverse. So I feel like we’re able to express [ourselves] in different ways.

Your relationship with Whitney begins in a hopeful place. Was there a turning point — maybe that we didn’t even see as viewers — that made you say, I don’t feel like there’s a genuine friendship here?

I don’t want to talk about the negatives. If anything, looking back at Season 4, I just need to take accountability for where I went wrong. There are a lot of things that I regret, and all you can do is learn and move forward and try to be better.

But I definitely am inspired by Whitney in so many ways. Her going on Broadway [to star in Chicago] and seeing her perform was truly so inspiring. She’s genuinely the hardest worker I know. She should be proud of herself.

That’s great to hear! Are there things looking back that you wouldn’t have done?

Looking back, I was so disassociated [from] life. I was just trying to get through Dancing with the Stars. People don’t know the extent of how hard it actually is to be on that show, and to perform in front of millions of people, that pressure you feel, the anxiety you feel days before even going on the stage — it keeps you up at night. And I was, on top of that, freshly postpartum, doing nightly shifts with my newborn. So much more was going on that people see small snippets of the show and think, Oh, this is the whole perspective. When really, there’s so much more going on that wasn’t shown.

Do you feel like you’re in a good place now?

We’re definitely cordial, I would say. I have apologized to her, and I’m truly just happy for her and excited to see where she goes.

The credits of this season show that you all are executive producers now! Do you have a tangible impact on how the show is made?

Not yet. We have no control or say. If that were the case, I think we’d all be editing ourselves like crazy, and we wouldn’t have the show that we have, right?

For sure. We hear more from DadTok this season. What is your take on that? Or is there a competition there?

Let’s be honest — as much as MomTok dislikes DadTok, DadTok does bring a lot to the show. They’ve brought the humor this season. I was laughing a lot just watching it back. So I’m all for it.

There have been rumors about spinoffs, an LA Mormon Wives — theoretically, would you be interested in that?

You’ll just have to wait and see. But let’s just say I love California. [Laughs]

I love the show’s viral line, “Will MomTok survive this?” How has your understanding of your own survival and perseverance evolved over the last few years?

Apart from the show, just being a mom — I wake up every single day, and I’m like, Will we survive this? When I’m getting my kids dressed for school, I’m like, Will I survive this? I’m asking that question every second of the day. Because being a mom is the most beautiful thing you will ever do. I feel like the most beautiful things are the hardest things in life. So I always have to remind myself, when things get hard, there is beauty. There’s beauty in pain. There’s beauty in hard things.

This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 4 delivers plenty of relationship drama, but one surprising cast breakup happened after cameras stopped rolling.

Despite shining a light on their relationship in the show’s latest installment (streaming now), Layla Taylor and Mason McWhorter are no longer together. Here’s what to know about their breakup, and the resulting shade on social media.

Layla & Mason’s Relationship In Season 4

When they debuted their relationship last year, Layla and Mason raised some eyebrows among Secret Lives of Mormon Wives fans — mainly because Layla had briefly dated Mason’s brother (and Miranda McWhorter’s ex-husband), Chase McWhorter.

But Season 4 shows that Layla and Mason’s relationship was deeper than that earlier fling. “I’m obsessed with him. He’s so cute,” Layla tells Miranda, who’s already imagining Layla as an aunt to her kids.

As Layla shared in a confessional, she and Mason were aligned on key values. “I feel like in past relationships, I almost tried to change myself for the person because I wanted to be loved so badly by that person,” she says. “But I feel like with Mason, I don’t need to change myself. He loves me for who I am.”

Layla did raise her concerns about Mason “overstepping” and lacking patience when it comes to her young sons, who he claimed “get away with murder.”

“They’re 4 years old,” Layla points out.

After the difficult conversation, Mason apologized for making Layla feel as though her kids were a “burden” and reiterated that she’s a great mom. She, in turn, thanked Mason for being understanding, and by the end of Season 4, they seemed to be in a good place.

But in a tearful Feb. 7 TikTok (roughly three months after filming wrapped), Layla revealed that she and Mason were no more. “It’s still super fresh ... but there’s no bad blood between us. I genuinely want and wish nothing but the best for Mason,” she said. “Things just weren’t working out. I think we were just on two different paths right now, and he felt in order for him to grow, he had to be on his own. And I respect his decision. And I truly hope that he gets what he wants in life.”

Layla said she was “grateful” for their time together, noting it was the first post-divorce relationship she thought might work out. “Mason was a really big part of me and my boys’ lives for the past almost-year, and we went through a lot in this last year, to be honest.”

On Second Thought...

The next day, Layla seemed to reverse course on one point — writing in a TikTok, “I take back there being ‘no bad blood.’” While she didn’t share specifics, she seemed to quietly condemn Mason’s post-breakup behavior. She liked a comment that claimed Mason had been seen at a bar with another woman, and wrote in the caption: “All while texting me he missed me the same morning and couldn’t stop crying…glad growing is off to a great start.”

Layla shared in a March 11 update that she was still “depressed” about the split, which she characterized as “getting dumped.”

Mason, for his part, appeared to own up to some mistakes in a March 1 Instagram skit, where both he and Chase attend a class called “Fumble Recovery.”

In the session, Mason admitted he “fumbled big, big time,” seemingly referring to his breakup with Layla. After he showed the facilitator a photo of the woman he fumbled, the actor was shocked: “This is one of the most beautiful women I have ever laid my eyes on. And you couldn’t hold it together for one goddamn year?”

“Trust me, I know,” Mason said.

MomTok wasn’t necessarily won over by the video, with Jessi Draper commenting: “This.. ain’t it.”

Spoilers for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 4 ahead. MomTok may not survive the new season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives — at least with Demi Engemann involved.

Thanks to some social media activity, fans are wondering if the star left the Hulu series off the heels of the Season 3 reunion, where her feuds with her castmate Jessi Draper and Vanderpump Villa star Marciano Brunette reached a breaking point.

While Demi is seen in the Season 4 trailer and was tagged by the show’s social media pages when the new season was announced in February, she doesn’t appear in any of the cast’s campaign ads or posters, nor does she have her own image. In addition, her eight co-stars were credited as executive producers for the first time, while Demi is credited as just a “friend” of the cast.

With Season 4 now streaming on Hulu, viewers finally have an answer about Demi’s future on the show — at least for now, considering how some of the castmembers tend to change their minds when it comes to being a part of MomTok.

What Happened In Season 4?

While Demi isn’t included in the Season 4 intro credits, she is featured prominently in the first three episodes, even going to the recording studio with her husband Brett to perform a cover of Cyndi Lauper’s “True Colors.” (Yes, really.)

However, the first sign of trouble occurs when producers ask Demi in her confessional why she’s at the studio before panning to an empty couch, complete with cricket noises, revealing that “Demi declined to be interviewed this season.” This becomes a running gag throughout the third episode, which should, quite frankly, earn the editors an Emmy.

Things completely fall apart during the Season 3 reunion, where sparks flew backstage between Demi and Jen Affleck as she and some of the cast continued to doubt Demi’s version of events on Vanderpump Villa, including her sexual harassment accusations against Marciano. In fact, the episode ends with a legal disclaimer: “Marciano denies Demi’s allegations and has filed a lawsuit against Demi and the producers alleging her statements are false.”

Did Demi Leave For Good?

After the reunion, Demi stepped back from filming Season 4, but still showed up to the Dancing With the Stars premiere in Los Angeles with the rest of MomTok to support Jen and Whitney Leavitt, which confused the group and led them to call her. When Layla Taylor asked, “So did you ask them to edit it out and they said no?” she said her story isn’t being told “truthfully” in her opinion.

“You’re telling it from his perspective, and something’s weird, dude,” Demi explained. “It literally feels like this conspiracy to make me look like this f*cking monster that I’m not.” Afterwards, Demi is not seen or heard from for the rest of the season, putting her future on the show in jeopardy.

However, it seems that Demi’s departure may not be permanent. In December, she told People that she was “weighing out” her options when it came to being on Mormon Wives. “I probably just need to take a little bit more time to really think about what's best for me moving forward," she said. “It's been extended to me that the door is wide open and that I'm welcome back.”

Spoilers for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 4 ahead. Wherever Taylor Frankie Paul goes, drama seems to follow, and the Bachelor Mansion won’t be an exception. On The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 4 finale, the reality star leaves Utah to film The Bachelorette after a long and messy build-up involving her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen, who she hooks up with again.

However, there’s an even bigger problem than Dakota not leaving her alone: She could be pregnant.

After Taylor departed for Los Angeles, her cast-mate Jessi Draper threw a Halloween party where Dakota was in attendance (and flirting with another girl, of course). However, he took Jessi and her husband, Jordan Ngatikaura, to their backyard for a private conversation, where he confessed his concerns that Taylor may be pregnant from their most recent hook-up.

“Taylor told me the last time we did it that she was like ovulating,” he recalled. “Taylor, randomly in bed, ‘I haven’t had my period yet.’ I was like, ‘From when?’ And then she told me, and I was like, ‘Oh, hang on, OK.’”

However, he claimed that Taylor’s phone was taken from her for Bachelorette filming before he had a chance to ask for more updates.

Jessi tried to assuage his concerns, telling him, “Deep down, you have symptoms, you know if you’re pregnant,” before he recalled Taylor’s recent behavior. “I was trying to think about how emotional she’s been lately, and she’s been sick a few times,” he said, with Jessi adding that she’s been “erratic,” before he emphasized: “But I don’t know anything.”

Is Taylor Really Pregnant?

Naturally, Jessi went into panic mode. “Can you f*cking imagine you guys, she’s the Bachelorette, and she’s pregnant?” she asked. “I don’t feel like they can keep her on for that.” But when producers asked Taylor in a confessional if she could possibly be pregnant, she simply gave a concerned expression before the camera cut to black, ending the season on a major cliffhanger.

Taylor has not announced that she’s pregnant on social media, but in a March 11 interview with Us Weekly, she basically denied speculation stemming from the Season 4 trailer without specifically answering the question. “Do I look pregnant?” she said. “Just look at me and make your observation there. That’s all I’ve got to say.”

Taylor and Dakota have an almost-2-year-old son, Ever, while she shares an 8-year-old daughter, Indy, and a 5-year-old son, Ocean, with her ex-husband, Tate Paul.

Foot and nail care have long lived in the least glamorous corner of the beauty aisle, somewhere between polish removers and pumice stones. ONYX Professional is trying to change that.

The brand has been dominating the category for over three decades, thanks to cult-favorites like its Hard As Hoof nail strengthening cream. But when Sandra Abdallah stepped in as CEO at the end of 2024, she realized something surprising: despite the loyal customers and rave reviews, the company itself lacked a clear identity.

“I knew we had amazing products,” Abdallah says. “Our Hard As Hoof has over 50,000 five-star reviews. We have the number one branded nail polish remover. But it wasn’t a brand — it was a bunch of great products.”

Consumers aren’t just buying products, though — they’re buying into brands — so Abdallah set out to shift the tone. What followed was a 14-month overhaul that touched nearly every part of the business, from packaging and messaging to subtle tweaks in certain formulas. (Not to worry, though, the classics stayed exactly the same.)

Abdallah even brought in a designer who previously worked at eos to help rethink the look. The final result? Brighter, cheekier, and a lot more honest about the realities of foot care — from overnight callus “pimple” patches to an exfoliator that even doubles as a toe-hair remover.

“We wanted to debunk these stigmas,” as Abdallah says. “It’s OK — we all have calluses and toe hair.”

Underneath the glow-up, though, the philosophy stays the same. Whether you’re looking for a quick fix or long-term solutions, ONYX Professional is there to deliver clinical results with drugstore-friendly prices. (Nothing in the lineup costs more than $13.) “Consumers are so savvy,” Abdallah says. “If your products don’t work, they won’t come back. For me, it’s not about trial — it’s about repeat.”

As ONYX Professional rolls into Ulta (online now and in stores next week), the future of foot care isn’t just cuter packaging. It’s about building what Abdallah calls “beauty from the ground up.” Take care of your feet, she says, and everything else follows. “It's been neglected, but it is all about wellness — the foot, in some cultures, is a second heart.”

Keep reading for four new products that will help you feel more grounded, literally.

The Color Correcting Pen

ONYX Professional Nail Reset Nourishing Color Correcting Pen

Target -

After months of back-to-back acrylics or gel manicures, your nails might start feeling thinner and even more brittle than when you began — proof they need a little downtime. That’s where ONYX Professional’s Color Correcting Pen comes in, which Abdallah calls “a face mask for your nails.”

The sheer, light pink tint acts like a color corrector, subtly cancelling out yellow tones and adding an even, healthy-looking shine. In terms of nail health, flower extracts like dandelion and honeysuckle help strengthen brittle bases, while aloe vera delivers an extra hit of hydration.

Even better, the formula dries down in under a minute. And, like a face mask, it naturally peels away after a day or two, taking dullness and discoloration along with it. If you’ve been hesitant to give your nails a break because of what’s underneath the gel, here’s your sign to reset between appointments and let your natural nails have their moment.

The Quick-Peeling Foot Mask

ONYX Professional Pedi Please Quick Peeling Foot Mask

Ulta -

If you’ve ever tried a viral foot peel, you know the drill: wait days for the shedding to start. ONYX Professional’s Quick Peeling Foot Mask skips the suspense. You simply massage this gel onto rough areas on your feet or hands and watch the dead skin pill up immediately — kind of gross, yes, but also so satisfying to see the results.

The secret is lactobionic acid, a poly-hydroxy acid (PHA) that’s commonly used in K-beauty exfoliating treatments. Derived from lactose, its larger molecular structure offers a gentler way to slough off buildup compared to glycolic or salicylic acid. It’s also paired with hyaluronic acid in this formula to keep skin feeling hydrated rather than stripped — meaning you can skip moisturizer afterwards.

But the best part? A built-in scrubbing head makes exfoliating feel like light work. Just massage it in for a minute or so, rinse it off, and enjoy your brand new baby-soft skin.

The Nano Glass Exfoliator

ONYX Professional Pedi Polisher 2-1 Nano Glass Exfoliator

Ulta -

Forget those big cheese-grater-looking foot files — this 2-in-1 Nano Glass Exfoliator is the next-generation upgrade. Instead of choppy metal blades, the tool uses a finely textured glass surface that gently (but effectively) buffs away buildup without scraping away the healthy skin underneath.

One side features a slightly rougher texture designed to exfoliate dead skin and smooth rough patches. But flip it over, and you’ll find the real surprise: a toe-hair remover. This smoother side somehow manages to remove fine strands on knuckles and toes — and completely painlessly, too.

An ergonomic handle makes it easy to maneuver around tricky spots, and because the tool is water- and rust-proof, you can leave it in your shower and exfoliate while your feet are wet. Or, if you prefer a quick touch-up on the go, its compact size makes it easy to toss in your purse and use on dry skin — smooth results incoming either way.

The Callus Patches

ONYX Professional Smooth It Off Targeted Callus Patches

Ulta -

Pimple patches for your calluses might not be something you thought you needed — but try these, and you’ll wonder how you ever lived without them.

This product takes the same spot-treatment ethos that made pimple patches so ubiquitous and applies it to your feet. Each pack comes with eight: four larger heart-shaped ones that are meant to cover the entire heel, and four star-shaped versions that perfectly fit those stubborn side spots.

The formula is designed to do the heavy lifting while you go about your day or sleep at night. First, there’s lactic acid, which exfoliates dead skin with minimal irritation. But it also contains urea — a deeply hydrating ingredient (commonly used to treat eczema and psoriasis) that softens thick calluses — plus aloe extract and vitamin E to keep the previously callused areas looking and feeling soft.

They’re not meant for everyday use — more like a targeted treatment one to three times a week. Simply stick a patch onto clean, dry skin and leave it on for six to eight hours, depending on how thick the callus is. Once you peel it off, the difference is noticeable: smoother feet with almost zero effort required — proof that foot care might finally be getting the glow-up it deserves.

Doja Cat doesn’t want to be a part of an Internet ambush. The rapper is backtracking her response to Timothée Chalamet’s controversial comments about opera and ballet, where he insinuated that they were dying art forms. In a since-deleted TikTok video, she called out the actor specifically, but now, she regrets participating in the viral discourse.

In a new TikTok video, posted on March 10, Doja clarified that she’s never seen an opera or been to the ballet, despite taking ballet for several years as a child. She gave insight into why she felt compelled to speak out about his comments.

“I took it upon myself yesterday to ‘give it to the man’ because there is a culture based around outrage,” she said. “What I was doing yesterday was virtue signaling because... I knew Timothée’s goof-up was something that I could leverage in order for people to connect with me and f*ck with me. And it's easy. It’s a modern way to garner clicks, likes, approval, all kinds of things.”

However, she said she didn’t give proper thought as to why she wanted to call him out until after posting her video. “I wanted to feel like I was part of something bigger than myself,” she said. “I wanted to be pat[ted] on the back the way everybody else is patting each other on the back in the comments sections. And I wanted to look like a hero, and that's what happened.”

What Did Doja Say?

In her initial response, Doja gave a history lesson on opera and ballet before calling out “big guy” Chalamet for his comments, noting that their own industries also go through tough times, but that “doesn’t mean people don’t care about it.”

“Dancers show up [at] 8 a.m., 6 a.m. whatever the f*** [time] they show up, and they break, and they bleed every single day just because they have respect for it,” she said, before telling Chalamet to take lessons from ballet and opera’s etiquette. “You show up in a nice outfit, you sit the f*ck down and you shut the f*ck up. That’s the usual etiquette around those things.”

However, Doja was inspired to backtrack after watching another unspecified TikToker, who was more well-versed on opera and ballet but agreed with Chalamet’s perspective (albeit not the way he said it), and realizing she was acting on impulse.

"It just kind of furthers the fact that sometimes I think sh*t, and then I'm like, ‘Never mind,’” she said. “So never mind.”

Kylie Jenner is a style chameleon. She’s the epitome of glamour during awards show red carpets, frosting her gowns with lots of diamonds. On the opposite end of the spectrum, she loves the understated route, wearing basics from her ready-to-wear label, Khy, or matching gym sets. And occasionally, she goes avant-garde, especially during Paris Couture Week. Who can forget the lion head Schiaparelli gown that broke the internet?

On Wednesday, March 11, she expanded her style repertoire when she posed on the cover of Vanity Fair’s Spring 2026 issue in one of her edgiest looks of all time.

Kylie’s Bra-Forward Look

On the cover, photographed by Mert Alas, the reality TV star wore one of today’s most daring trends: the bra-as-top. While she’s no stranger to the lingerie-forward look (peep her maximalist leopard print brassiere and trendy butter yellow garment), she went the more minimalist route this time, in a silken black bra with a tiny scallop trim.

Her bottoms, meanwhile, evoked the horse girl ethos her big sis Kendall is a fan of. She wore Hermès khaki pants cinched by a black Balenciaga belt with the iconic “B” buckle. To complete the equestrian-esque look, she wore inky knee-high riding boots, also from Hermès, a vintage watch by Cartier, and shoulder-dangling statement earrings from David Webb.

The edgiest part of her look was courtesy of her makeup, particularly her bleached brows. Makeup artist Ariel Tejada highlighted her bold eyebrows with a blurred matte lip, saturated blush, and mascara — all using Kylie Cosmetics, of course.

She Served High-Fashion

Inside the issue, Jenner wore even more high-fashion looks with a risqué twist. In one dramatic photo, the beauty mogul was mid-strut wearing a black Chanel cape tied in a long ribbon down front — and nothing else. White pointed-toe pumps (two of this season’s biggest shoes trends) and a Chanel brooch, affixed on the bow, completed the look.

Another photo featured Jenner lying on a bed in a voluminous, nylon-like fir green gown with ruffles and puffed sleeves. It was styled with a massive chain necklace with a pearl-accented pendant, both designed by Anthony Vaccarello for Saint Laurent.

Despite it being a feature on her, Kylie managed to share the spotlight with one of her sisters — or, more accurately, one of her sisters’ brands. In another layout, she stripped to nothing but sheer black tights from Saint Laurent and a thong from SKIMS, Kim Kardashian’s label.

All slays.

When walks and deep breathing no longer do the trick of soothing your stress, it’s time to look for a few new ways to calm down. On the wellness side of TikTok, many people are turning to the salamander pose — a simple neck stretch that seems to relax your nervous system like magic.

On the app, creator @healwithbritt called the salamander pose “a quick vagus nerve exercise for anxiety and worry.” It’s one you can do at your desk when you’re on edge, on the train when your mind is racing, or when you’re trying to chill out before bed.

All you do is gently tilt your head to one side, feel a stretch along your neck, and then look up at the ceiling with just your eyes. According to @healwithbritt, this combo “helps us break up patterns of tension and shifts you out of an activated state.” As you do a salamander pose, you might notice that you yawn or feel a little more mellow too.

“Yawning is a wonderful sign that it worked,” @lymeresiliencecollective said in another post. “I usually wait until I yawn and then I come back up.” You then repeat the pose on the other side before moving on with your day, hopefully feeling calmer and more at ease. Here’s what to know.

Why Salamander Pose Is So Soothing

According to Kelly Smith, a yoga teacher and host of the podcast Mindful in Minutes, salamander pose is a somatic exercise that combines a certain head position, neck movement, and eye position into a gentle stretch that soothes your body. “In current wellness spaces, this pose is often discussed as vagus-nerve or nervous-system exercise, and many versions cite Stanley Rosenberg’s methods,” she tells Bustle.

The move can help you feel calmer because it combines slow attention, reduced movement, and eye/head coordination, which Smith says can lower your stress arousal response and increase body awareness — all things that help you feel grounded.

You’ll know your body is relaxing if you sigh, swallow, yawn, or if your breathing slows.

This stretch is said to stimulate the vagus nerve, which connects the mind and body and is a major parasympathetic nerve involved in heart rate, digestion, and calming functions. The vagus nerve runs down the neck and may be soothed by a gentle stretch. But the eye movement is also key.

“Eye movement likely matters because eye position is closely tied to head/neck coordination and to the way the brain organizes orientation and threat detection,” Smith says. “In practical terms, slow, intentional eye positioning may help interrupt a stress pattern, reduce bracing, and shift attention from mental overdrive to embodied sensation.”

Smith recommends doing a salamander pose whenever you’re keyed up, frozen at your desk, mentally overloaded, or burnt out. It’ll feel good if your jaw, neck, or upper chest muscles tight, and is also great for “after work, before meditation, or before bed if the movement feels gentle and settling,” she says.

You’ll know your body is relaxing if you sigh, swallow, yawn, or if your breathing slows. Smiths says you might also notice less jaw tension, a softer bellow, or more relaxed muscles in your eyes and face. “Those can all be signs that the body is downshifting,” she says. “What makes it helpful is likely the combination of slow eye focus, neck positioning, and mindful attention, which can help some people come out of a stress pattern and feel more settled in their body.”

How To Do Salamander Pose

Half Salamander

Since half salamander only stretches your neck, it’s one you can do almost anywhere. Here, Smith explains how to try it.

• Sit or stand comfortably with your spine tall and shoulders soft.
• Keep your head facing forward.
• Move only your eyes to the right.
• Gently tilt your head to the right, bringing your right ear toward your right shoulder without forcing it or hiking the shoulder.
• Breathe slowly and hold for about 30 to 60 seconds, only as long as it feels easy.
• Return your head and eyes to center.
• Repeat on the left side.

Full Salamander

Another option is the full salamander, which can make a great addition to a yoga flow.

• Come onto all fours, or place your hands on an elevated surface like a desk or chair if that feels better.
• Keep your head roughly in line with your spine.
• Without sharply twisting, gently turn your head and gaze to one side.
• Allow the upper spine to follow slightly.
• Stay for 30 to 60 seconds with relaxed breathing.
• Return to center and repeat on the other side.

Heidi Klum’s status as a fashion icon is well-earned. The supermodel is known for her uncanny ability to turn a look — whether she’s walking on the Victoria’s Secret runway, celebrating at her famous Halloween soirée, or posing on her own Instagram feed. It’s this skill that has landed Klum hosting gigs on fashion forward shows like Germany’s Next Top Model and Project Runway.

After an eight-year hiatus from the show, Klum returned to host Project Runway Season 21 in 2025. Plus, she’ll star as host and judge in the upcoming Season 22 — alongside Nina Garcia, Law Roach, and Project Runway’s Season 4 winner, Christian Siriano, who is returning as the designers’ mentor. Ahead of her on-screen reunion with Siriano, Klum stepped out in a dress from his Fall 2026 collection.

Heidi’s Sheer, Feathered Gown

You don’t become the host of Project Runway by skipping out on the year’s hottest trends. So far, feathers have dominating in 2026, appearing at Fashion Week and award show red carpets. Now, Klum is modeling the avian-inspired look.

On March 10, Klum stepped out in SoHo in a black LBD, which was layered with an asymmetric sheer skirt. The dress featured a plunging neckline — plus, its long sleeves ended in a plume of pom pom-looking white feathers, completely obscuring Klum’s hands.

Klum kept the rest of her ‘fit simple, adding a pair of black sunglasses, ankle-strap Louboutin pumps, and a Chanel Flap Bag.

On Instagram, she revealed that she wore that ‘fit to film Project Runway, shared a BTS sneak peak of her and Siriano on set.

Heidi’s All-Leather Look

Klum is always serving serve looks on Project Runway, but she saves some for her best outfits for Germany’s Next Top Model. On March 11, she shared a promo for an upcoming episode, where she wore head-to-toe leather.

In the Instagram Reel, Klum embraced her playful side, dancing and playing dress-up with the members of German boy band, Elevator Boys, who are guest judges in the episode. For the star-studded crossover, she wore a zip-up leather jacket, paired with a matching mini skirt, sheer tights, and over-the-knee leather boots. She topped off her look with a leopard-print cat ear headband.

If Klum is on your screen, expect a serve.

Apparently, nothing can slow down the “naked dressing” trend — not even the weather. Several of New York, London, and Milan’s Fall/Winter 2026 shows already teased the possibility that the see-through look, particularly the nip-baring variety, will stay ubiquitous throughout the year. Paris Fashion Week, however, which ran from March 2 through 10, was the ultimate confirmation of the trend’s longevity.

Whether the top moments were romantic, punk, or minimalist, PFW was a nipply extravaganza. They also doubled as guides in styling the aesthetic for maximum impact without it looking trite, especially when temps drop.

Balenciaga, for example, paired a deep brown “naked dress” with leather opera gloves, giving it a luxe, cold-weather-appropriate feel. The fashion house’s creative director, Pierpaolo Piccioli, has long been designing clothes that allow for bodily autonomy, so incorporating a diaphanous number in a leather-heavy collection tracks. Chloé’s Chemena Kamali, meanwhile, leaned into prairie chic by pairing thick, fuzzy pants with sheer tops.

Of course, not all of the looks were bundled up. Saint Laurent, as per usual, sent several body-forward looks down the runway in barely-there lace, while Gabriela Hearst gave the “naked” style a dreamy, fairy-tale spin with a lace-trimmed cape and matching slip dress. All these and more nipply moments, below.

Saint Laurent

Saint Laurent continued its tradition of sending sheer looks down the runway. This season, however, the looks have been reinterpreted in a new fabric, transitioning from diaphanous chiffons (Fall/Winter 2024), laces (Fall/Winter 2025), and nylons (Spring/Summer 2026) to a glossier, waxed lace.

Ann Demeulemeester

At Ann Demeulemeester, the vibe was rock star-meets-romance. Creative director Stefano Gallici showcased a selection of sheer dresses, including a distressed-style slip with lace and ruffle details paired with sneakers.

Balenciaga

Piccioli’s sophomore collection for Balenciaga garnered attention online for several reasons, particularly the Euphoria-inspired details. Apart from some pieces featuring prints of stills from the HBO show, Piccioli also collaborated with creator Sam Levinson for the accompanying immersive video.

Some of the best looks were his more refined designs, including a drapey dark chocolate dress edged up with leather opera gloves.

Gabriela Hearst

Nothing says dark romance like a lace-trimmed slip and matching cape, as seen on Gabriela Hearst. No notes.

Chloé

Chemena Kamali went the prairie girl route at Chloé with ruffled tiered dresses, ginghams, and clogs. Even her “naked” ensembles fit the motif. Case in point: a sheer, ruffled butter yellow top and fuzzy pants in a similar hue.

Victoria Beckham

Y2K icon Victoria Beckham channeled one of the trending silhouettes from the era: the bubble dress. Hers, however, was more gumdrop-meets-tulip, with layers of fabric providing the voluminous shape.

Zadig & Voltaire

Zadig & Voltaire’s show was also a blast from the past. Lace tops styled with vests, skinny scarves, and grommet belts? It served major early aughts energy.

Balmain

Balmain sent several sheer ensembles down the runway, but none as visually striking as a ginormous, diamond-shaped cutout gown that bared her entire torso.

Stella McCartney

Stella McCartney kept it simple in the classic Y2K combo: jeans and a “going-out” top, part of which happened to be lacy.

Isabel Marant

Per Isabel Marant, the best way to cold-weather-proof the sheer top is by pairing it with animal print boots, a fur coat, and distressed denims in a vivid hue.

Guests Were Nipply, Too

The sheer theme wasn’t relegated to the runways — front rows were also especially body-forward. Margot Robbie, for example, wore a sheer top at Chanel, while Chappell Roan went the nip-freeing route in an LBD at McQueen.

Bella Hadid is a country girl at heart, even bringing the Western flair from her equestrian sidequest into her businesses, from her fragrance line Ôrebella to her country-inspired collaboration with Frankie’s Bikinis. But when she steps back into her modeling bag, she proves that she can leave her roots behind and go fully fashion-forward.

On March 10, Hadid stepped out to celebrate the launch of REVOLVE Los Angeles, the brand’s first namesake line, of which she also fronted the ad campaign. Naturally, she chose an outfit that was equal parts spicy and sophisticated, even making a casual trend look a bit edgy.

Bella’s Sheer Top & Capris

Hadid matched her chic monochrome ensemble to the black carpet. She wore many pieces from REVOLVE’s new line, including the $1,100 Kova Leather Jacket, which features padded shoulders and a gold-buckle belt. She kept the jacket unzipped and let it hang casually off of her shoulder to tease her sheer bustier from Kiki De Montparnasse, featuring jagged floral lace embroidery.

She paired her top with a pair of black Blaise capri trousers ($350), co-signing the 2010s trend’s revival, featuring a high-waisted slim fit and uber-cropped hem.

She added an array of flirty yet flashy accessories that complemented her sultry ’fit, including a heart-shaped pendant necklace and a diamond-studded leather watch. She completed the look with a pair of black leather pointed-toe pumps from Jimmy Choo.

Bella’s Revolve Campaign

The theme of Hadid’s REVOLVE Los Angeles campaign was strictly naked fashion. Case in point: she lounged by the pool in a very spicy variation of the classic LBD (little black dress), donning a halter-neck gown made of sheer fitted mesh and metallic black beads, strategically covering her cleavage while still revealing her black thong.

In another campaign image, she showed off another LBD that was even more revealing, featuring a turtleneck collar and padded shoulders that descended into an “X” shape at her midriff, showing off some underboob. The silhouette created two extremely large triangular cutouts with a low-rise skirt that maximized hip exposure.

When it comes to her normal day job, Hadid understands the assignment.

Has preventative beauty officially lost the plot? It used to be pretty straightforward — apply sunscreen, start a retinol, and try baby Botox if you feel so compelled.

Maybe it’s just the internet age, but now every facial movement seems to be getting analyzed for potential wrinkle liability. Side sleeping, tech neck, even smiling... which brings us to the latest habit currently under scrutiny: If you’re sipping from a straw, congratulations — you may be giving yourself lip wrinkles. That’s right, the way you’re drinking from your Stanley is now part of the anti-aging conversation.

Enter: the side straw.

Shaped like the number seven, the viral contraption is designed so you can sip without moving your lips at all. The logic behind it is, you’re reducing the repetitive pursing motion that often gets blamed for vertical lines forming around the mouth. It’s a tiny tweak with big ambitions. But the question remains — as it does with most TikTok beauty hacks — does it actually work? Keep reading for everything to know about the side straw phenomenon, straight from a dermatologist.

The Straw That Broke The Internet

If you’ve been around BeautyTok long enough, the side straw probably looks familiar. Every couple of years, it seems to pop back up on FYPs, accompanied by a fresh round of debate about what mundane habits could be secretly aging your face.

An early viral moment came in 2022, when beauty creator Lauren Erro posted a video testing the curved design, saying it “might be the best invention for anti-aging ever.” Two years later, it re-entered the chat when creator Michaela Scott tried what she called an “anti-wrinkle straw” in a TikTok that racked up more than 355,000 likes.

The idea behind the invention is easy enough to understand. With a sharp bend at the top, it allows you to sip from the horizontal portion, so you can keep your lips relatively relaxed instead of puckering them forward. Per usual, the comment section was split into two camps: the intrigued and the exhausted.

“This is such a tiring way of living,” one user wrote. Another chimed in with an alternative philosophy to aging gracefully: “I prefer to have fun in life.”

Still, curiosity seems to have won out. According to The Derma Lab, global searches for “side straws” are now hovering around 72,000 per month, with interest rising 38% over the past quarter — suggesting the anti-wrinkle straw could be facing yet another comeback.

Does It Actually Work?

As with every good TikTok trend, there’s a kernel of truth behind the concern. “The short answer is yes, drinking from a straw can cause perioral wrinkles to form,” says board-certified dermatologist Dr. Adarsh Vijay Mudgil. “Dynamic facial wrinkles are created by moving the facial expression muscles, including those around the mouth.”

But before you spiral about every iced coffee you’ve ever had, he says it’s only one part of the aging equation. “It’s hard to quantify how much facial movement contributes to wrinkles relative to other stimuli like sun exposure, genetics, or smoking,” Mudgil explains. “But limiting movement certainly helps stave off wrinkle formation — that’s the principle behind Botox.”

So does the viral side straw actually solve the problem? “Not really,” he says. “It just alters the distribution of wrinkle formation.” Basically, the lines might show up somewhere else — which isn’t quite the anti-aging loophole TikTok was hoping for.

What the trend does reveal, though, how early people are thinking about aging now. In fact, Mudgil says he’s seeing younger patients increasingly interested in preventative strategies — calling it “a TikTok phenomenon” in its own right.

If the goal is actually keeping lines at bay, he suggests going back to the basics: daily sunscreen, a prescription retinoid cream at night, and preventative Botox when appropriate. As he puts it, “that's the scientifically-rooted way to prevent premature aging.”

So sippers, rest assured: skin care matters a lot more than your straw placement.

Kylie Jenner may be a reality star, makeup maven, and Timothée Chalamet’s plus-one at award shows, but she’s a mom first — and she wants to keep it that way. In her Vanity Fair cover story, published on March 11, Jenner revealed that she hopes to have more children one day, joining her 8-year-old daughter Stormi and 4-year-old son Aire, whom she shares with ex Travis Scott.

“In the last years of my 20s, I want to focus on just me, my businesses, my work, traveling with my kids, enjoying my kids, and then...,” Jenner, 28, said, before seemingly pausing for dramatic effect: “I do want to have more kids.” However, she kept coy about her boyfriend, Chalamet, whom she’s been dating for three years.

The couple has gotten more public about their relationship, with Chalamet thanking her in his speeches when he won Best Actor at the Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards for his role in Marty Supreme. When asked if it was fun to be shouted out onstage, the reporter noted that Jenner became “heart-fluttery” and “shy” about how to answer, not expecting to be asked any questions about Chalamet. “Of course,” she eventually replied.

Jenner didn’t offer any other insight into their future — except that she hosts poker nights at her house with Chalamet and his friends. Her sister Kendall told VF that Jenner “is very happy and grounded at the moment,” and hinted that Chalamet was a huge reason without directly saying so, noting, “We learned how we wanted to take control of our private lives as much as we could.”

Kylie’s Current Ambitions

While Jenner wants to expand her family after turning 30, for now, she wants to join Chalamet in his world. She recently made her silver screen debut in Charli xcx’s mockumentary, The Moment, playing an over-the-top version of herself, but she has her eyes set on more acting projects, like her sister, Kim Kardashian.

“I’ve actually gotten a few scripts, nothing that I feel is right yet, but I 100 percent want to do more,” she told the outlet. “I really like comedy. I think I’m good at it.”

She even made a prediction about where she’ll land in the film industry. “Maybe next time I talk to you, I’ll be the lead of an action movie,” she exclaimed.

Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis play sisters in Scarpetta, a new Prime Video series that’s steeped in crime-thriller history.

The show (streaming now) is based on Patricia Cornwell’s novels about the titular Kay Scarpetta, whose work as a forensic pathologist spans more than three decades of forensic mysteries. But unlike most book-to-screen adaptations, the first season of Scarpetta doesn’t just pull inspiration from one book. So vast is Cornwell’s oeuvre that two of her works are adapted in Season 1: Postmortem (the first book) and Autopsy (the 25th!).

Curtis, who also serves as executive producer, likened the unconventional format to “wine pairings” in an interview with Entertainment Weekly — sharing her plan to employ a similar structure in future seasons.

“These are pairings of crime books that are going to tell a similar story that we can tell over two different time periods,” she said. “You have mirror crime stories and mirror family stories, all intertwining effortlessly, and I think that’s also what sets it apart from other shows.”

Just in time for Scarpetta Season 1, here’s a quick summary of both Postmortem and Autopsy.

Right Under Their Nose

In Postmortem, Scarpetta — recently appointed Virginia’s chief medical examiner — investigates the deaths of multiple women who were strangled in the Richmond area.

Working with FBI profiler Benton Wesley and a detective, Pete Marino, Scarpetta discovers that the killer left behind a sweaty, maple syrup-esque odor. She teams up with crime reporter Abby Turnbull to leak information about the killer potentially having a metabolic condition, hoping that it will rattle him.

And it does, to dangerous effect. Just after making the connection that each of the victims had previously called 911 — suggesting that the killer selected them based on their voices — Scarpetta is attacked at her home by the killer, Roy McCorkle, who is indeed a 911 dispatcher. But before he can kill her, Marino, who’s been watching Scarpetta’s house in fear for her safety, rushes in and shoots McCorkle dead.

Murder In Outer Space

Autopsy picks up decades later, as Scarpetta returns to her post after working in Massachusetts. Now married to Wesley — and in-laws with Marino, who married Scarpetta’s sister, Dorothy — the forensic pathologist investigates another apparent serial killer, this time in Alexandria.

After a woman, Gwen Hainey, is found dead by a railroad track, Scarpetta learns that she was operating as an industry spy at a local lab. One of the lab’s projects, a top-secret orbiter, is attacked in space. Two of its astronauts are killed, while a third escapes back to Earth. After Scarpetta performs a virtual autopsy on the slain astronauts, she discovers that the “survivor” is actually the killer. He was in cahoots with Gwen and acted brashly once he realized she’d been killed back home.

But as it turns out, Gwen’s death had nothing to do with her espionage. Rather, Scarpetta learns that she was killed by the same person who murdered another woman, Cammie Ramada, who ran on the same trail as Gwen. The killer is a construction worker named Boone Cotton, who actually worked at Scarpetta’s house. In the final pages of Autopsy, he ambushes her in her basement — but is bludgeoned to death by Scarpetta’s niece, Lucy.

What better way to wrap up Paris Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2026 than with a Zendaya appearance? After being MIA for the rest of fashion month, the Euphoria star finally showed up on the final day of PFW to attend her first and only show: Louis Vuitton’s. As the brand’s longtime endorser, she wore a ‘fit that was as chic as the ones that sauntered down the runway.

Zendaya’s Bubble High-Low ‘Fit

With the help of her go-to image architect, Law Roach, Zendaya wore a pristine bridal white dress that was a masterclass in pairing shapes. The upper half was an angular masterpiece, featuring a crisp button-down-style top with exaggerated pointed collars.

The skirt was an entirely different story, featuring a combination of two trend revivals. Its most striking feature was the exaggerated high-low hemline that began high up her thighs and slid down to her ankles. The cascading hem is a millennial-approved relic from the 2010s that has slowly been making its way back into the zeitgeist, thanks to a slew of recent It girl backers, such as Emily Ratajkowski, Julia Fox, and Hailey Bieber.

Her high-low skirt was also voluminous in the vein of the 2000s-era bubble skirt trend. The Dune actor is a fan of the throwback style, and by combining both “cheugy” looks, she may have just spurred a revival.

Black accents finished off the look, including sleek pointed-toe pumps and a statement belt cinched at the waist.

Is That... A Wedding Band?

The look was chic — but what sent the internet into a tizzy was her choice of jewelry, particularly a gold ring that looks remarkably like a wedding band.

A week ago, at the Actors Awards, an Access Hollywood interview with Roach fueled rumors that Zendaya and Tom Holland had already tied the knot in a secret wedding. When asked about his client’s wedding gown, he said, “The wedding has already happened. You missed it.”

Although fans are still waiting for the private couple to confirm (or deny) speculation themselves, the teeny choice of jewelry was especially curious, standing out against the rest of her diamond-clad Cartier pieces.

And the bridal white? Z, what a tease.

It feels good to have your finances figured out — or at least a little more under control. Maybe you’re happy with your monthly paycheck, have some savings squirreled away, and finally want to start thinking about the future.

When that’s the case, a hack like the “70-20-10” rule often feels like a good fit. In a Feb. 17 post, TikTok creator @professormikefinance broke it all down. For this rule, he said 70% of your monthly income will go to rent, groceries, gas, and utilities; 20% to investing; and 10% to guilt-free spending, so you can have a little fun. Many experts recommend splitting the 20% into investing and savings, so you cover all your bases.

Whichever way you approach it, the goal with the 70-20-10 rule is to start building your wealth by putting more of your paycheck towards investments, like a 401K or Roth IRA. “Living by this money rule will change everything,” @wealth1services said in another post about the trend.

For many, this hack is also an opportunity to level up. If you can allocate 70% of your monthly income to rent, it might mean getting the apartment of your dreams or even putting a down payment on a house. Here’s what to know about this viral budgeting rule, according to a financial expert.

The “70-20-10” Rule

According to budgeting expert Andrea Woroch, the 70-20-10 rule simplifies the budgeting process by breaking it down into the most important categories. This makes spending and saving more approachable, she tells Bustle, especially compared to budgets that feel overly strict or overwhelming.

While many hacks require you to spread a more equal amount across various categories, the 70-20-10 encourages you to put a little more in your living expenses bucket. That would allow you to have more wiggle room when it comes to renting, paying bills, and grocery shopping. For many, it might even mean leveling up your lifestyle.

This hack also encourages you to think about what your financial readiness will look like 5, 10, or even 30 years down the line. “Younger generations often [...] follow the soft saving approach, which means they’d rather spend now and enjoy their current lifestyle and worry about saving later,” she says. While soft saving is a stress-free approach, you often get to a point where you want your money to work harder for you, and that’s where investing comes in.

“There's nothing wrong with an occasional splurge to prevent burn out.”

The 10% set aside for guilt-free spending is also key. “While it's important to cut discretionary purchases to stop wasting your money and to reach your financial goals, there's nothing wrong with an occasional splurge to prevent burn out,” Woroch says.

By allowing 10% of your income to go to fun, travel, nights out, or dinners, you’re more likely to stick to your budget.

While this money-saving hack might be too reductive for someone with a tighter budget who wants to account for every dollar they bring in, Woroch says it works if you have a higher income and more financial flexibility.

How To Do The 70-20-10 Rule

If you make $3,000 a month, that’s $2,100 for rent, food, and gas; $600 for investing/saving; and $300 for fun. “You can even roll over some untapped fun money from a previous month into the next to afford a bigger guilty pleasure purchase,” Woroch says. You can also, stash the extra in savings, of course.

“When applying this budgeting method, it's wise to use that 20% of your budget towards an adequate emergency fund with a minimum of three months of living expenses,” she says. “From there, you can use a portion towards longer-term financial goals and investing.”

If you’re new to investing, Woroch suggests starting by contributing to your employer’s sponsored plan and putting away at least the minimum amount that your employer offers to match. “That's free money,” she says. If that’s not an option, you can go through a bank and ask about a brokerage account.

From there, you can use a robo-investing app like Acorns and set up automatic transfers or “purchase round ups.” Woroch says the app will round up purchase amounts from a linked credit card or debit card to the whole dollar amount and invest the difference in a variety of mixed stocks and other investments.

And that remaining 10% is all for you! Go grab dinner and cheers to your future.

If you were alive in the late ’90s, chances are you owned a mood ring — or at least begged for one at Claire’s. Realistically, it mostly shifted between purple (passionate) and teal (calm), but that didn’t make it any less magical. Jewelry that reacted to your body heat? Truly the pinnacle of technology.

Now that the ’90s are taking over beauty, it only makes sense that color-shifting nostalgia would return — except this time, on your fingers. Meet mood ring nails, the opalescent manicure turning each tip into a tiny bejeweled accessory.

What Are Mood Ring Nails?

No, they don’t actually change colors. (Historically accurate.) The trend also lines up perfectly with a prediction celebrity nail artist Katie Masters made last month, when she told Bustle spring would be all about chromes layered over magnetic gels. Turns out, that combination is basically the entire formula behind mood ring nails.

A dark gel base creates depth, layered with a silver cat-eye polish that’s magnetized so the shimmer pools toward the center like a glowing orb. On top, an iridescent chrome powder creates that signature color shift. Of course, none of these techniques are new — chrome powders and cat-eye gels have both been trending on their own recently — but paired together, they deliver a nail design that feels surprisingly fresh.

The technique started circulating after nail artist @emmydanails posted a TikTok tutorial showing how to recreate the mood ring effect with layered gels and chrome. It quickly made the rounds on social media, with artists and DIYers alike putting their own spin on the look by swapping chrome shades from blue-red to yellow-purple.

The one thing that doesn’t change? This manicure has movement. Whatever chrome or cat-eye you choose, the dimension is there. It’s glossy, playful, and catches the light from every angle — which is exactly why it feels perfect for spring. As darker winter shades start to fade out, mood ring nails bring back shine and color, but in a way that still feels sleek rather than saccharine.

Bottom line: maximalist nail designs are out, texture is in this season. People want detail without the bulkiness of 3D charms, and this manicure walks the line with a velvety metallic finish that layers on depth instead of decoration.

How To Try The Look

If you’re already comfortable working with chrome powder and cat-eye polishes, mood ring nails are surprisingly easy to recreate.

Start with a thin coat of black or brown gel polish and cure it. The dark background helps reflective pigments pop, but one coat is plenty — you don’t want the base getting too thick.

Next comes the fun part. Apply a coat of silver cat-eye polish, then take a rounded magnet and slowly orbit it around the sides of the nail. As you move it, the shimmer will gather toward the center, leaving a dark halo around the edges. Once the orb shape looks right, cure each nail immediately after so the magnetic particles stay put.

Finally, buff an aurora chrome powder over the surface. The trick is applying just enough so the cat-eye shimmer still comes through — and using pressure as you rub in the powder because “the harder you rub, the shinier it gets,” according to the original creator. Use a clean sponge to brush away any excess chrome before sealing everything with a glossy top coat.

And just like that, you’ve got a dimensional manicure with the same hypnotic glow that made those ’90s mood rings impossible to resist.

Margot Robbie is a pro at using visual cues to signal the eras she’s in. During the entire duration of her Barbie press tour, she almost exclusively wore pink and unwittingly kickstarted Barbiemania. She effortlessly closed her Barbie chapter when she showed up to awards shows in black.

The Oscar nominee used the same styling technique to signal the beginning of her now-viral Wuthering Heights era, marked by corseted ballgowns and decadent jewelry. As of Monday, March 9, however, she’s officially letting go of Catherine Earnshaw.

As a Chanel ambassador, Robbie made her way to the brand’s Fall/Winter 2026 show during Paris Fashion Week. And her ‘fit — an elevated take on off-duty dressing — proved she’s done with Brontë-core.

Margot’s Casual Ensemble

Many style savants use fashion week as their personal runways, reserving their most ostentatious or avant-garde pieces to peacock during the shows. Not Robbie, though. Despite having access to some of the most glam gowns and jewels in the world, she tends to keep it way more low-key during fashion weeks. Last season, for example, she attended Chanel’s S/S 2026 show in all-black utilitarian co-ords and a triangle bralette.

She took the understated route again this season, wearing a sheer white tank and lace-trimmed bralette. The Babylon star did a take on the “millennial tuck” and haphazardly tucked a portion of her top into soft, semi-translucent gray trousers made to resemble denim.

She incorporated another optical illusion item when she carried a sheer gray poncho with gold buttons, whose fabric was made to mimic the look of tweed. Robbie threw it on when she reached her seat, sandwiched between Jennie, Olivia Dean, and Lily-Rose Depp.

The actor finished off her ‘fit with It girl-approved accessories, including two-toned pumps and a brown Chanel 25.

Her New Bob

The most striking change Robbie made was her fresh cut — the polar opposite of long, beribboned braids that marked Brontë-core. Switching it up, she chopped off her hair into a bob, styled with choppy bangs and an exaggerated, millennial-approved side part.

Sometimes, simplicity is best.

Millie Bobby Brown might be the most millennial-coded Gen Z woman, at least when it comes to fashion. The newly 22-year-old actor loves trying out throwback trends that even some millennials may consider “cheugy,” from tattoo chokers to yoga pants. And now, she’s turned to unique footwear.

On March 9, Brown shared a new promo video with her dog rescue organization, Joey’s Friends, where she guessed the names of some of the cute canines available for adoption. Even in the most casual, dog-friendly clothes imaginable, she still managed to make a style statement, cosigning one of fashion’s trendiest shoes.

Millie’s Clog-Like Sneakers

In her adorable promo video, Brown wore Nike’s Air Rift leather sneakers. She chose a pine green pair with an airy geometric cutout below the velcro strap, making it feel like a cushy sandal, and a split-toe design reminiscent of Tabis, aka the fashion world’s most trendiest footwear at the moment.

Brown’s sneakers are nearly sold out at most retailers, with only select sizes still available, but Nike is also selling red and brown iterations of the Air Rift shoes, each with its own unique flair.

Brown paired her shoes with a contrasting mustard yellow tank top, adopting one of 2026’s biggest color trends, and a simpler pair of black drawstring shorts. She completed her look with a red, white, and blue athletic wristband.

Millie Loves Her Unique Shoes

In October, Brown staged a photoshoot with Crocs on Instagram to promote her new “boots with the fur” — and yes, she referenced Flo Rida’s 2008 classic “Low.”

She donned gray knee-high fur boots in a subtle Y2K-ready leopard print, made with fuzzy vegan fur and multiple straps accented with the brand’s signature Jibbitz charms. Brown chose metallic silver charms, including various studded hearts, lip prints, chain links, and even a yin-yang sign at her heel.

Brown went more casual with her outfit to match her cozy footwear. She wore a baby blue sweatsuit with short shorts and a matching zip-up hoodie, keeping it partially unzipped to tease her white tank top underneath.

She completed her look with black oval sunglasses and a studded black shoulder bag with silver chain straps and a mountain landscape, contrasting her flashy fur.

2026 is shaping up to be the start of a new era of activewear. For years, a plain black sports bra and matching leggings have ruled gyms and fitness classes. But lately, this athleisure uniform has been on the receiving end of a retro refresh.

Vintage-inspired gym ‘fits have taken over TikTok, and now, Kim Kardashian is putting her own twist on the growing trend. For her latest NikeSKIMS drop, she added an ‘80s-inspired flare to her go-to workout pieces, aka plunging sports bras and form-fitting bodysuits. The SKIMS founder even paired her latest athleisure looks with a trendy shoe choice: the “camel toe” sneakerina.

Kim’s Retro Workout Wear

Kardashian’s SKIMS partnered with Nike once again for a Spring 2026 collection, dropping in March. The collab combines classic SKIMS shapewear silhouettes with vintage details and retro stripes, channeling Nike’s old school roots.

The collection officially launches on March 12, but Kardashian gave fans a sneak peak a few days early. In a March 9 Instagram post, the reality star modeled several of new NikeSKIMS styles, including a navy blue sports bra with a plunging V-neck. A matching blue bolero sweater and color-coordinated leggings (with a beige side stripe) completed the ‘80s-chic ‘fit.

The new collection also features bike shorts in the same blue-and-beige striped design — plus, a matching scoop neck sports bra. In another shot, Kardashian paired the shorts with a cropped gray workout shirt, tied in a knot just below her bust.

Kim’s Split-Toe Sneakers

The new drop brought innovations in activewear, from head to toe. In the shoot, Kardashian sported the new NikeSKIMS Rift Mesh, a breathable take on the trending balletcore sneaker silhouette. These shoes feature a unique detail: a split “camel” toe.

With the rest of her ‘fit, Kardashian leaned into the comfy vibes, pairing the shoes with a gray zip-up onesie, featuring long sleeves and mini shorts.

She also paired the sneakers with an athletic romper, featuring the collection’s signature navy and beige color scheme.

Athleisure will never be the same.

As the Heated Rivalry fervor continues to grow, its stars are making clear that there’s no room for hate in the fandom.

On March 9, Hudson Williams and François Arnaud — who play Shane Hollander and Scott Hunter on the hit series — called out bullying in a shared message posted to their respective Instagram stories.

A Community Concern

“Don’t call yourself a fan if you share racist/homophobic/biphobic/misogynistic/ageist/ableist/parasocial/bigoted comments of any kind,” their statement reads. “None of us need your hateful ‘love.’”

The actors appeared to reference viewers who pit them against each other. “We all respect and support and love each other and are on the same side,” they continued, adding: “If you can’t accept that gtfoh.”

Shortly after, on Threads, Williams shed more light on the statement. “It was Francois’ idea and I helped write it! I don’t scroll comments so I did not see the hate,” he wrote. “I was vibing watching figure skating highlights.”

The Heated Rivalry Spotlight

The statement, which was later shared by several of the pair’s Heated Rivalry castmates, is not the first time the team behind the hockey romance has addressed the mean-spirited corners of their expanding viewership.

In February, creator and showrunner Jacob Tierney appeared on Loon Call (a podcast dedicated to Rachel Reid’s Game Changers series) and called out “toxic” viewers who are “saying horrible things about my actors and about characters.”

In December, Williams opened up to The Hollywood Reporter about navigating new levels of exposure as an actor, specifically calling out “sh*t posting” on X (formerly Twitter).

“People are just thought, or lack of thought, to speech [and] they’ll post it. It’s still mainly good,” he said. “I always doubted celebrities when they said, ‘There are going to be 200 good things, and you’ll remember the bad one.’ I was like surely that can’t be true, and it is true.”

Williams, however, said he tries not to pay too much attention to the discourse, good or bad. (See: his figure skating comment from earlier.) He also shared that both he and Connor Storrie — who plays his on-screen love interest, Ilya Rozanov — regularly delete their social media apps.

When it comes to particularly mean comments, “It’s so ridiculous to actually believe these people. To actually go, ‘Oh my God,’” he said. “To be offended would be to think they matter. It’s like, why be offended? Just kind of laugh.”

Whether you’re repotting a succulent on your balcony, weeding a flower bed, or planting cherry tomatoes, gardening can feel grounding and relaxing. It also happens to be one of the grandmacore hobbies that the internet loves these days.

It’s why many people on TikTok are talking about the benefits of gardening — a topic making its rounds with spring just around the corner. While there are plenty of obvious perks to be enjoyed, like savoring the sunshine and fresh air, getting your hands as dirty as possible can also have some lesser-known benefits.

Instead of putting on gloves to spare your manicure or using a tool to till the earth, many gardening pros suggest digging your hands directly into the soil. It’s a way to really connect with what you’re doing, but a post from @gardenary says that putting your hands in dirt can also alter your brain chemistry. In her comments, someone agreed, “I can confirm it. Gardening makes me so happy.”

In a Feb. 17 TikTok, creator @sadealexus_ suggested gardening as part of your 2026 wellness routine. Besides growing your own food and getting outside, she said “touching soil has been shown to release chemicals that boost your serotonin and reduce anxiety and stress.” Here’s what to know about getting down in the dirt.

It’s Time To Get Dirty

Not everyone needs to be convinced to grow flowers or water their plants, but this wellness hack is all about going one step further and actually digging in the dirt with your bare hands — no green thumb required. According to Emily Davenport, ATR-BC, LCAT, LPAT, a board-certified therapist, doing so taps into your primal need to be in touch with nature.

Even if you’re just repotting a plant in your apartment, it feels good to release your inhibitions and get your hands dirty. Suddenly, you aren’t just someone who works at a desk or stares at a screen, but a truly grounded person who’s touching something natural and real. You might have flashbacks to childhood when you played outside or simply enjoy the tactile sensation — and just like that your mood is a little bit brighter.

When you dig in the dirt, you get to see yourself making a difference in real time.

As Davenport says, touching dirt brings you into the present moment and puts you back in touch with your senses. Dirt is cold and has an earthy aroma, which can ground you in the same way the viral 5-4-3-2-1 technique does. Digging also activates your parasympathetic nervous system, which is the opposite of fight-or-flight. “When our parasympathetic nervous system is activated, our stress hormone, cortisol, decreases,” she tells Bustle. It’s why you might head back inside from your moment of zen in the garden feeling happy and calm.

Enjoying everything tending to a garden has to offer, whether you’re weeding or watering, gives you a moment to slow down and breathe. It’s nice to see some tangible progress, too. When you dig in the dirt, you get to see yourself making a difference in real time, and that feels satisfying. “So many of my clients spend their days doing invisible labor with no clear finish line,” Hillary Pilotto, MA, LCPC, a therapist, tells Bustle. “Gardening gives you a result you can see. Your nervous system registers ‘I did something and it worked,’ and that feeling is deeply regulating.” Seeing your plant potted and finished or a sprout grow from a seed can help you feel productive and accomplished.

On TikTok, many creators have mentioned that soil contains a bacterium called Mycobacterium Vaccae, which some early studies have linked to mood-related effects — which is where the claim that gardening “alters your brain chemeistry” comes from. “When people say gardening makes them feel better, it’s true,” Pilotto says. If nothing else, the takeaway is that it feels good to be as close to nature as possible.

It’s Time To Touch Some Dirt

If you live in an apartment or city, you can plant herbs on a balcony or have an array of pots in a sunny window that you tend to regularly. “You might also consider visiting your local botanical or community garden or nursery,” Davenport says. Sometimes there are plots you can help weed. Go there and dig to your heart’s content.

If you have a yard, starting your own garden or planting flowers and veggies in a raised bed could be your best way into this hobby. Remember, don’t wear gloves or use a tool when you dig. Instead, really get in there with your bare hands. Feel the dirt and smell the earth.

There’s another, less obvious way to touch dirt: pottery class. “Pottery is a highly sensory, soothing experience that helps people tune into their creativity and natural materials,” Davenport says. “Just like gardening, pottery is often considered a meditative and hands-on activity.” By getting your hands dirty regularly and letting the clay interact with your five senses, you might find that you feel calmer and more grounded, especially during stressful days.

Even those who don’t religiously follow pop culture tend to show interest in who wins at the Academy Awards. Fashion girls, however, mostly tune in for the glitz and glamour. Over the years, many have turned into armchair critics during the red carpet, curating their own Oscars best-dressed lists. More recently, the style cognoscenti have enjoyed seeing who can transform some of the wildest trends into more elegant ensembles — a true feat.

Historically, the Oscars were far from the breeding ground for daring aesthetics. That’s why celebs such as Halle Berry and Gwyneth Paltrow became instant style icons when they debuted “naked” looks in the early 2000s. Nowadays, the awards show seemingly gets more scantily clad with each passing year.

Florence Pugh is leading that charge. She’s rocked several daring trends to the fête, including going pantless, wearing a bra instead of a top, and freeing the nip. Olivia Wilde is also especially bold in her sartorial choices. If she’s not wearing plunging dresses, she’s wearing utterly sheer ones. After-parties are especially risqué. Even those who go the more conservative route during the show proper spice it up post-ceremony.

Below, you’ll see 11 of the nakedest looks in Oscars history, from Halle Berry’s 2002 stunner to Florence Pugh’s most recent winner.

Halle Berry, 2002

Halle Berry’s 2002 Oscars outing was iconic for several reasons. For one, she made history by becoming the first-ever woman of color to win the Best Actress award. Two, she also wore her most memorable look of all time: a “naked dress” by Elie Saab. It featured a metallic burgundy skirt with an asymmetrical low-rise waist and a dramatic train. The upper half was entirely sheer, save for some floral embroidery that provided coverage.

Even the X-Men alum knew how recognizable the look was; Berry rewore it 22 years later at the designer’s 45-year-anniversary event in Saudi Arabia. Icon behavior.

Gwyneth Paltrow, 2002

When Gwyneth Paltrow pulled up to the 2002 Oscars in a nip-baring two-toned number from Alexander McQueen, many disparaged the dress. Her daughter, Apple Martin, however, disagreed. She tried on her mom’s dress in 2023 and posted it on Instagram, reminding people why the look was so iconic.

Jennifer Lawrence, 2016

Jennifer Lawrence easily elevates daring styles. Her 2026 Golden Globes dress was one of the most recent examples. One of the oldest? Her lace Dior gown at the 2016 Oscars. Plunging, sheer, and with tiers of tulle, it was the perfect cocktail of romantic, saucy, and high-fashion.

Olivia Wilde, 2023

Olivia Wilde loves a “naked” look and has, in fact, bared nip at an Oscars after-party. But the edgy attire she pulled up in to attend the 2023 post-awards-show fête was even spicier. Her one-sided dress — without torso coverage — was augmented by a teeny leather bra that served cool-girl chic.

Emily Ratajkowski, 2023

Wilde (along with everyone else) was outspiced by Emily Ratajkowski at the same party, where she wore a silver skin- and thong-baring gown from Feben.

Hunter Schafer, 2023

Though some stars have repped the bra-as-top trend at Oscars events, Hunter Schafer’s look at the 2023 after-party wouldn’t quite be classified as a brassiere. In actuality, it was a teeny, tiny feather by Ann Demeulemeester. She paired it with a low-rise silk skirt to up the daring ante.

Kendall Jenner, 2024

At Vanity Fair’s 2024 Oscars after-party, Kendall Jenner wore a look from one of the most controversial collections to ever hit the runway: Maison Margiela’s Spring 2024 Haute Couture show. Designed by John Galliano, the diaphanous LBD featured ruching on the crotch to give the illusion of faux pubic hair — a detail incorporated in several of the show’s pieces. She doubled down on divisive fashion and accessorized with Tabis, another of Margiela’s (and the entire fashion industry’s) most divisive items.

Florence Pugh, 2024

One of the most adventurous dressers of all time, Florence Pugh has long been bringing her style ethos to the Oscars. Though she’s rocked the no-pants and bra-as-top trends to the Academy Awards, no look was as jaw-dropping as the sheer peplum gown she wore to the 2024 after-party. 10/10.

Zoë Kravitz, 2025

Since 2024, flaunting butt cleavage has been on the rise on nearly every red carpet, except for the awards show circuit. Zoë Kravitz decided to change that at the 2025 Vanity Fair after-party, wearing a long-sleeved LBD with sheer back cutouts that had a peekaboo posterior detail. Clad with a dainty bow, the actor managed to make the daring style look oh-so elegant.

Julia Fox, 2025

At the same after-party, Julia Fox channeled Botticelli’s “Birth of Venus” in a Dilara Findikoglu gown that was near-translucent save for the built-in tendrils of hair that provided some form of coverage. A work of art.

Megan Thee Stallion, 2025

Megan Thee Stallion took “freeing the nip” to new heights at Vanity Fair’s 2025 Oscars after-party. Instead of going the braless route, she wore a feathered green gown that was nearly entirely topless. She wore pasties in a similarly verdant hue to finish off the look.

Zendaya doesn’t kiss and tell — or rather, get married and tell. On March 10, the actor attended Louis Vuitton’s Fall 2026 show during Paris Fashion Week, and stoked reports that she secretly got married to her fiancé Tom Holland by sporting a gold band on her wedding ring finger — without actually saying a word.

Before taking her front-row seat, Zendaya — a longtime Louis Vuitton ambassador — posed for photographers and held her hand up to her head, coyly showing off a gold band on her left ring finger. In addition, she chose to wear a bridal white ensemble, which only further fueled the speculation. However, she didn’t confirm whether or not she’s married on the red carpet.

Where Did This Rumor Come From?

The rumor that Zendaya is now married to Holland came from her stylist and longtime friend, Law Roach. Speaking to Access Hollywood at the 2026 Actor Awards, he was asked if he’s working on Zendaya’s potential bridal looks. “The wedding has already happened,” he replied, teasing, “You missed it.” When asked to clarify if that was true, he answered, “It’s very true!” with a laugh.

Roach’s answer could’ve simply been his way of preserving Zendaya and Holland’s privacy around their wedding plans. However, he was asked a similar question by Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet, and his answer didn’t change. “The wedding already happened, y’all missed it,” he quipped. “The wedding’s over. Sorry.”

Having a secret wedding would be fitting for the couple, given how private they’ve been about their relationship. Zendaya never announced her engagement to Holland, instead showing up to the 2025 Golden Globes with her diamond engagement ring.

When a Los Angeles Times reporter asked her to confirm, she “kept showing her ring, smiled coyly, and shrugged her shoulders mysteriously.” Months later, Holland confirmed their engagement in a viral moment during a panel, when someone told him, “I brought my daughter, and she got to meet your girlfriend.” Holland laughed and sweetly corrected them, “Fiancée.”

Friends and former castmates are remembering James Van Der Beek following his death at 48 years old.

His family wrote on Instagram that the actor, husband, and father of six “passed peacefully” on the morning of Feb. 11 and “met his final days with courage, faith, and grace” less than three years after being diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer.

His wife, Kimberly Van Der Beek, shared a GoFundMe for those who would like to support the family. Additionally, the actor’s Dawson’s Creek co-stars and other celebrities shared touching tributes in posts and comments.

Katie Holmes

Katie Holmes remembered Van Der Beek as a “hero” in a handwritten tribute to her Dawson’s Creek co-star. “To share space with your imagination is sacred — breathing the same air in the land of make believe and trusting that each other’s hearts are safe in their expression…”

She also looked back at their “laughter, conversations about life, James Taylor songs,” and “adventures of a unique youth” in her letter.

“Bravery. Compassion Selflessness. Strength. An appreciation for life and the action taken to live life with the integrity that life is art — creating a beautiful marriage, six loving children — the journey of a hero,” she said. “I mourn this loss with a heart holding the reality of his absence and deep gratitude for his imprint on it.”

Holmes concluded her message by letting Van Der Beek’s family know that she’d be “here for you always.”

Joshua Jackson

During a March 10 appearance on The Today Show, Joshua Jackson remembered his Dawson’s Creek co-star as a “good man: a man of the kind of belief, the kind of faith, that allowed him to face the impossible with grace. An unbelievable partner and husband — just a real man who showed up for his family. And a beautiful, kind, curious, interested, dedicated father.”

Michelle Williams

At the Actor Awards on March 1, Michelle Williams was asked if her Dawson’s Creek castmate was on her mind as she accepted an award for her role in Dying for Sex, where she played a woman with cancer.

“I’m thinking about him, and I’m thinking about his family constantly,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “And I also just want to say, it’s been such an amazing thing — as James’ friend, and a friend of the family — to see the response in the wake of his passing. I just really want to say thank you to each and every person who contributed to sustaining their life, and their children’s lives. And it’s an incredibly meaningful thing to witness.”

Busy Philipps

In a moving post, Busy Philipps remembered her Dawson’s Creek castmate, with whom she’d later reunite on Don’t Trust the B---- in Apartment 23, as “one in a billion.”

“My heart is deeply hurting for all of us today… every person who knew James and loved him, anyone who loved his work or had the pleasure of meeting him, all of his dear friends and community that surrounded him as he battled this illness, especially his parents and brother and sister,” she wrote. “But I am profoundly heartbroken for his incredible wife Kimberly and their six magical children.”

Philipps linked to the fundraiser for the late actor, concluding her message with a note of gratitude “for our friendship all these years.”

Mary-Margaret Humes

Fellow Dawson’s Creek star Mary-Margaret Humes, who played Van Der Beek’s on-screen mom, shared sweet photos with the late actor. “James, my gracious warrior, you fought a hard battle against all odds with such quiet strength and dignity,” she wrote. “I will always love and admire you for that. Our last conversations … merely a few days ago … are forever sitting softly in my heart for safe keeping.”

Emma Slater

Dancing with the Stars pro Emma Slater, who partnered with Van Der Beek on the show in 2019, shared a sweet throwback photo and called the actor her “big brother.”

“It started with being dance partners and I was beyond excited to be dancing with you, and it continued into the deepest of friendships,” she said in part of a lengthy, heartfelt tribute. “You, Kimberly and the kids became family and I found so much purpose in our little community. Watching your love for your family changed my life.”

The dancer thanked Van Der Beek for his “unmatched” kindness, patience, and empathy — and reflected on seeing him for the last time days earlier. “I’m lucky to have known the man that you are,” she said. “You have done so much, helped so many people. You’ll be forever in my heart. And now I know whenever I’m guided, I’ll be guided by you.”

Alfonso Ribeiro

DWTS host Alfonso Ribeiro also remembered Van Der Beek in an emotional post. “I was with him through this horrible journey to beat cancer,” he wrote, recalling “the highs when it looked like he had it beat to the breaking lows of it coming back.”

Ribeiro called Van Der Beek his brother, thanking the actor and his wife for changing his life. “I will forever be in debt for all they’ve given me and my family. He will live forever in my heart,” he said. “I will always be there for their children. I will always hold my role as Gwen’s Goddie daddy as one of the most important roles of my life. I love you James and know I have a guardian angel watching over me.”

Krysten Ritter

Don’t Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 star Krysten Ritter remembered working with Van Der Beek on the show, where he played a sitcom version of himself. “Beautiful human inside and out,” she wrote in her story. “Smart, funny, empathetic, kind, talented, and just pure magic — I’m so grateful for our friendship and so heartbroken. All my love goes out to his amazing wife Kimberly and their children.”

Sarah Michelle Gellar

Sarah Michelle Gellar called Van Der Beek “one of the good guys” in a sweet throwback post to her story.

Chad Michael Murray

Chad Michael Murray — who crossed paths with Van Der Beek on both Dawson’s Creek and his own teen drama, One Tree Hill — called the late actor a “giant,” and sent a message to his family. “We’re so so so sorry for what you’re going through. His words, art and humanity inspired all of us — he inspired us to be better in all ways. God bless you guys.”

Lexi Minetree

Lexi Minetree, who worked with Van Der Beek on the upcoming Legally Blonde prequel series Elle, said she was “honored” to have collaborated with him, writing: “He truly met everyone with a generosity of spirit and kindness.”

She also wrote in her Instagram story, “Words cannot express how much you will be missed.”

Reese Witherspoon

Elle executive producer Reese Witherspoon also sent love on her own story. “What an extraordinary, talented man who also showed great kindness and grace in every action,” she wrote. “Praying all the angels watch over his family during this difficult time.”

By the time the Paris leg of fashion month rolls around, the style crowd is running on fumes. Editors are bleary-eyed, suitcases barely zip, and it takes something genuinely good to hold anyone’s attention. Luckily, the French capital rarely disappoints — and this season was no exception.

Parisians have perfected the art of tailoring — just look at Chanel tweed sets and Dior bar jackets. French beauty, however, has built its reputation for playing things a little looser. Lipstick gets dabbed on instead of perfectly lined. Hair somehow falls into place without looking overly styled. The result always looks polished, even when it’s slightly undone.

This season, that balance between chicness and effortlessness showed up everywhere. Windswept red blush edged out the classic French girl lip, while low chignons at The Row and Balenciaga delivered a kind of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy minimalism.

Elsewhere, the glam skewed a little offbeat — in the best way. Matières Fécales put face tape on full display, poking fun at the whole idea of “effortless” beauty. Vivienne Westwood and Victoria Beckham embraced metallic lips, and dark, blocky brows hinted that 2016 might not be as far behind as everyone thought. Then there’s the Gucci effect: a black smoky eye that’s basically just powder smudged around the lids, but managed to become the breakout beauty trend of fashion month.

Taken together, the mood was bold and playful. Ahead, all the standout hair and makeup moments from Paris Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2026.

1. Kiss Curls

Sculpted forehead swirls have already been popping up on celebrities like Ayo Edebiri and Odessa A’Zion, and now high fashion is taking its turn at the flapper-era throwback. At Junya Watanabe, cyberpunk designs came with thick, lacquered curls glued along the hairline like faux bangs. Loewe offered a slightly more wearable version, staging wispy tendrils into a more natural pattern. Either way, the key is plenty of product. “Try texture spray or hairspray for a natural matte finish, and gels or creams for a more polished, wet look,” Philip Downing, creative director and hairstylist at Bed Head, recently told Bustle.

2. Dark Brows

Love it or hate it, 2016 makeup is back — with brows that might give ABH Dipbrow Pomade devotees major flashbacks. Vaquera and Dries Van Noten both made a case for filled-in arches, swapping the fluffed-up “clean girl” brow for something darker and sharper. At Dries, just the front of the brow was deepened to a velvety espresso that framed otherwise minimal makeup, while Vaquera pushed the look further alongside chalky white powder and a dotted-on under-eye mole.

3. Beach Braids

It’s time to embrace your natural hair texture, according to PFW. Air-dried waves and micro-braids showed up across the runways at Acne Studios and Chloé, giving hair that windswept, just-back-from-the-beach feel. Whether you pair it with golden hoops and cowrie shell accents a la Chloé or a smudge of graphic eyeshadow like at Balenciaga, the overall vibe felt romantic and effortless rather than overly styled. Case in point: Margot Robbie has been sporting a similarly crimped texture on the Wuthering Heights press tour.

4. Red Blush

Is red blush the new French-girl lip? Another Wuthering Heights-approved trend designers couldn’t get enough of was crimson-toned blush. The rosy hue mimics the natural color of blood beneath the skin, which is why it flatters just about every complexion. At Chloé, models wore Saie’s Dew Blush in the shade Spicy, a warm terracotta that diffused down to create a soft, windswept flush that looked almost like it came from a brisk walk outside. Paired with barely-there foundation and ghost lashes, it’s the perfect recipe for a youthful glow.

5. Purple Eyeshadow

Just look to Balenciaga and Saint Laurent as proof that purple is shaping up to be the makeup color of the season. At Saint Laurent, Bella Hadid walked the runway in a deep violet smoky eye paired with a brick-red lip, giving the shade a sultry, after-dark edge. Meanwhile, models at Balenciaga went full monochrome with draped purple blush above and below the temple, finished with a healthy swipe of metallic lavender liner.

6. Low Updos

Carolyn Bessette Kennedy stans will love this hair inspo. Low, tucked chignons showed up all over PFW, proving that even the most low-key style can still deliver fashion with a capital F. At The Row, hair was twisted loosely at the nape and clipped into place with a glossy black barrette that made it feel even more ’90s-coded. Balenciaga went sleeker with a tightly tucked bun molded so close to the head that it looked like a pixie from the front.

7. Metallic Mania

Glitter fatigue? Never. Vivienne Westwood made a compelling case for metallics on both the lips and lids, pairing molten lipstick with a soft chrome shadow that caught the light from every angle. Victoria Beckham, on the other hand, took her usual less-is-more approach with a dusting of silver shimmer around the eyes and mouth. The look is easy to try at home with any metallic eyeshadow — but before you pack it on, “make sure your lips are moisturized, because the powder eyeshadow can make them feel dry,” makeup artist Ngozi Esther Edeme recently told Bustle.

8. Birkin Bangs

The ’60s were on the beauty mood board at McQueen, where models wore piecey fringes styled with a slight gap in the center — a nod to Jane Birkin’s signature cut. Clumpy bottom mascara added even more of a mod touch. The timing doesn’t feel random: Jennifer Lawrence debuted her own set of softly separated Birkin bangs in September. If you’ve been thinking about trying out a fringe, here’s your sign.

9. Face Tape

Face tape wasn’t exactly subtle at Matières Fécales. Models walked with visible strings pulling the skin taut at the temples, a backstage beauty hack that’s usually hidden. The tape sat on top of brutalist slick backs like it was any other accessory. In a show that caricatured the aesthetics of the ultra-wealthy — from plastic surgery prosthetics to jackets sewn together from dollar bills — the exposed lift suddenly felt like the punchline: “effortless” beauty always comes with strings attached.

10. Smoky Eyes

A couple of weeks ago, Gucci sent models down the Milan runway in smudged black eyeshadow — and promptly reset everyone’s FYP. Clearly, the look isn’t done catching on. At both Tom Ford and Alainpaul, smoky eyes leaned into that same club-kid energy, with shadow blown out past the crease and under the eye, diffused with cool grays and charcoal blacks until it looked like the messy remnants of last night’s eyeliner. The takeaway of fashion month? Eye makeup is back — and, if you’re new to shadow, a little powder smudged in with your fingers is a pretty good place to start.

In Bustle’s The Pregame, we ask athletes about their pregame rituals. How do they get in the zone? What do they listen to? Do they have any superstitions before a big competition? Here, National Women’s Soccer League MVP and Kansas City Current forward Temwa Chaŵinga shares how she preps for a match by listening to Justin Bieber, calling her family, and getting comfy.

In the 2025 regular season, the Kansas City Current was the No. 1 team in the National Women’s Soccer League, winning 21 of its 26 matches. Despite its lead, however, Kansas City ended up losing the championship quarterfinals to Gotham FC. This year, Current forward Temwa Chaŵinga is determined for her team to go all the way.

“We should win everything,” she tells Bustle at the NWSL media day in Los Angeles in January. “I've never reached a final. I just need to get there and win the championship.”

The Malawi native, who’s been playing soccer since she was 7, has been the NWSL’s reigning MVP and Golden Boot winner since 2024 — achievements that she calls her most memorable career highlights to date. Looking ahead, she’s focused on continuing to be a top scorer: “I’m just working hard to improve myself,” says the 27-year-old.

Not that winning another MVP wouldn’t be nice: “Both titles mean a lot to me, but the MVP trophy is awarded because people saw your passion and the hard work you were putting in,” she adds.

If Chaŵinga is able to help get her team to the finals this year, it’s possible she could become the first player in NWSL history to be awarded the honor three times. The Kansas City Current’s first step toward getting there comes on March 14, during its kickoff game against the Utah Royals. Below, Chaŵinga details the routine that gets her in the zone.

How do you get into the right headspace before a match?

I like to listen to music before a game. If the game is in Kansas City, I’ll also relax, stretch, cook, and make some food at home.

Do you have a specific playlist that you listen to?

I like to listen to Justin Bieber’s “Ghost” when I’m going to a game. I just put on my headphones, relax, and lie down in the bus as we go to the stadium.

Do you ever feel pressure during a game?

I feel pressure and stress when my team is losing. But when my head is relaxed, I think, “Now we’re OK.”

What do you like to eat to stay energized?

Rice, meat, and beef. I also like to eat a protein pancake. I never used to, but if my teammates are having them I’ll have one too. And when I’m going to a game, I have a banana and an energy drink.

How do you hydrate?

I always have a water bottle with an energy drink. Sometimes, I mix it up between an energy drink and water. And if I’m tired and my muscles are cramping, I’ll drink pickle juice. That helps a lot.

Do you have any traditions, superstitions, or lucky charms?

Sometimes, I’ll just call my mom or talk to my sister [Tabitha Chaŵinga]. They wish me well. I like to prepare my mind when I head to a game, and I’m happy when I call them.

Do you dress up when you’re traveling to a game? What’s your makeup or skin care routine?

I like to be comfortable. Sometimes, I’ll wear matching sets. And I don’t wear makeup. I just put on body lotion and I’m done.

What does your coach tell you before a match that helps you stay focused or inspired?

In our meetings, we will watch a video from another game. It gives us motivation going into the next game, because it tells us what to do. It boosts morale — like, “OK, we can do this.”

And does your team have any pregame rituals that you do together?

We go to the locker room, and put on music. We bond a lot in the meal room when we eat together. We laugh together.

In One Nightstand, celebrity readers and writers join us at The Blond in 11 Howard to discuss some of their favorite books, allowing us to learn about their tastes and lives in the process.

Most people get their book recommendations online or from friends, but for 14-year-old Daniel Radcliffe, they came from music. “There's actually a song by an Irish band called The Divine Comedy. They made a song called ‘The Booklovers,’ to which I attribute a lot of what I've read,” says the actor, now 36. “It's a list of authors set to music. And after every author, there's a weird soundbite. It might be a quote, it might be a noise... As a teenager, I was like, ‘Ooh, I want to figure out what the sounds mean to the author.’ So it became my reading list.” The list is composed of 71 authors ranging from Charles Dickens and George Eliot to A.S. Byatt and Kingsley Amis. “I still have not completed it,” Radcliffe adds, “[but] it's definitely made me read things I probably wouldn't have otherwise.”

Radcliffe’s love of reading began in an ordinary fashion, though his relationship to his first love admittedly went in a different direction from most. “I think I was definitely one of the kids that Harry Potter got them into reading,” he says of J.K. Rowling’s franchise, in which he played the titular role over eight films and 10+ years. “I had read the first two before we started filming. And then after I got the job, I was like, ‘I guess I need to read all of these now.’ And I got into them, and they were great.” Nevertheless, being Harry Potter didn’t come with the perks of early access to unreleased manuscripts like one might imagine.

“I remember in the movie The Devil Wears Prada, there's a subplot that is like she has to find a version of Harry Potter before publishing,” he says. “I remember we all saw that and we were like, ‘Good luck.’ I think famously Alan Rickman was the only person from the cast who was told anything in advance. And certainly we didn't get anything.”

Radcliffe continued to foster his reading habit during his work on set. “I dropped out of school when I was 17,” he says. “Emma carried on and did her A levels. So what that meant was that there were still at least three hours of tuition stuff a week, because Emma was still doing school. So in the year after I had left school, but while Emma was still doing it, I basically got Warner Brothers to pay for my old English teacher to come in for three hours a week just to talk books with no pressure of exams.”

Radcliffe wrapped up his work as Harry Potter when he was 21, and since then his career choices have been rich and varied. There have been carefully selected film projects — he played a young lawyer in the gothic-horror The Woman in Black (2012) and Allen Ginsberg in Kill Your Darlings (2013) — though he has come alive in his work on the stage. He made his Broadway and West End debut in Equus as a 17-year-old, while his 2023 performance opposite Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez in Stephen Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along earned him a Tony Award.

He returns to Broadway this spring in Every Brilliant Thing, a one-man show which begins with a 7-year-old boy reckoning with his mother’s suicide attempt. The audience plays witness to the next 20 years of his life, through love, separation, grief, and his own mental health struggles, with many attendees drawn in to participate driving the narrative forward.

“There's a lot about this play that comes very naturally to me,” he says. “The character itself is something that sometimes you just read something and you go like, "Oh, this just sits in my voice really naturally. I sound like I could be this person and in terms of how he talks about using humor to avoid talking about how you're feeling, or the way he talks about music. There's a lot I have in common with him. But then there's this huge other part of the play which is so out of my comfort zone in terms of the improvisation and the audience participation. There's something thrilling about that.”

He continues: “Normally when you're doing a play, the time, the period we're in right now — in previews — you're still terrified, you’re still nervous, but you have the prospect of like, ‘It will get normal. I'll be able to do this without feeling so stressed about it,’” he says. “I don't think I ever will with this play. I think it will be terrifying a little bit until the final performance, just because that half hour before the play while casting it is so frenetic every time.”

The play was co-written by the British playwright Duncan Macmillan and comedian Jonny Donahoe, and was previously staged by Phoebe Waller Bridge in a tent at a music festival. The British sensibility radiates through, particularly in Radcliffe’s performance. “I think there's almost a fear or a stigma around mental illness or mental health and depression that to talk about it is to risk being infected by it,” he says. “And so it's lovely to have a show that really does deal with all that very directly but manages to find a very life affirming, joyous way of doing all of it.”

The show itself sees the protagonist finally undertake therapy, a practice Radcliffe himself is supportive of, especially for child actors. “I think that's a great idea,” he says of Ariana Grande’s idea that therapy should be available on set for all young performers. “And in fact, when I've had some conversations with people that are working on the new Potter series, and I think that that is something that has been ... I don't know, I'm not involved, but I think that's something that they are thinking about this time around as well, which is great.”

Radcliffe is largely positive about his own experience as a child actor, though he hopes his infant son won’t follow in his footsteps. “I would love my child not to be what I do for many reasons, but one of them is that like, you avoid the nepo baby thing,” he says. “If you just become a tree surgeon, they'll just do something different, nobody's going to be comparing us.” That said, his son is aware of what his father does.

“The other day he saw me on TV for the first time in an ad for the TV show I'm doing and he just said with a tone that was like, ‘I'm not crazy, right?’ And he looked around and said, ‘Dada!’ to his mom. I was sort of like, ‘You know your job is sort of b*llsh*t when you can't explain it to a child.’ They understand firemen, they understand police, they understand doctors. When you're having to be like, ‘Well, we tell stories and you know the books you read well, it's like we help people tell stories like those books.’ So you're like, nobody can be an annoying, crazy *ssh*le while you're doing something like that.”

This is perhaps symptomatic of Radcliffe’s overall mindset: He appears to enjoy his work and his life, and feels lucky to do it. “When you do the most commercially successful thing you will ever do right at the beginning of your career, it frees you from the want to try to do the most commercially successful thing you're ever going to do,” he says. “So you're just like, right, let's just do stuff that's fun and either that's going to make people laugh and make people enjoy watching it or that has a message that is worth creating in some way.”

His first pick is The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. “The Iliad's always been one that I'm like, I probably won't read that in full, but reading this amazing interpretation of it you get what I'm assuming is the story, or a lot of it,” he says. “I'm somebody that if I start a book, I cannot not finish it, which can result in me reading things for a long time. I just got out of one of those books and then I read The Song of Achilles, and it was so nice just to not be able to wait to get back to a book again and just be reading it all the time. It's a beautiful story. It's beautifully written. It does like the most spectacular job of taking us to like the lowest point you could possibly be, near the end and everything just tying together.”

His second pick, The Surgeon of Crowthorne by Simon Winchester — also known as The Professor and the Madman in the U.S — tells the story of the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary. “The idea of making a book which had a definition for every word was such an insane, mammoth undertaking," he says. "They crowdsourced it — they put out an ad and said, ‘If you know a word is in Chaucer somewhere, find the reference and send it to us.’ And then at some point they noticed that a disproportionately high number of the entries they were receiving were from one address." This address belonged to an American, Dr. William Chester Minor, a psychiatric patient at Broadmoor Asylum in the UK.

“If anybody out there is looking for a book for their dad, for their birthday or Christmas, I very highly recommend this one,” he adds.

This third pick is How to Hide an Empire by Daniel Immerwahr. “It's incredibly educational about America's history generally, but particularly this little time in American history, which was kind of fascinating because the way you behaved like a global power at the time was to have an empire, but it kind of goes against everything America was founded on to have an empire,” he says.

The book delves into the history of Puerto Rico and its place within the union, a topic fresh in his mind after he attended the Super Bowl as part of his promotion circuit for his new NBC comedy, The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, opposite Tracy Morgan. “It was awesome,” he says. “But hearing anybody complain about Bad Bunny not being American or any of that stuff, now having read it... I mean, hearing them complain about it anyways is heinous. But after having read that book, you're like, ‘No, you guys need to shut up.’ You get very defensive.”

British by birth, Radcliffe hopes to become an American citizen when he is eligible. “I wanted to get a green card because my son is American and I'm going to need to be able to be here whenever I need to be here, but it's a weirdly impotent feeling not being able to get involved,” he says of being unable to vote.

His final pick is The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. Radcliffe first read the book as a teenager — the book’s locations formed part of the itinerary when he later visited Moscow for his 21st birthday — and he says he still thinks about it constantly. "I always say I am not a religious person — this book makes me wish that I was," he says. “It does things that it's insane a book can do. It's so beautiful, so funny, so exciting. There's a six-foot-tall cat called Behemoth who has a pistol and a drinking solution. He's constantly drinking vodka.”

He adds: “I saw someone the other day called Gabriel Garcia Marquez the ‘father of magical realism,’” he says. “Look, I'm not trying to take anything away from Gabriel Garcia Marquez, but I do think that this book, if you're going to find a starting point, is so wonderful.”

Watch the full episode below:

In Bustle’s The Pregame, we ask athletes about their pregame rituals. How do they get in the zone? What do they listen to? Do they have any superstitions before a big competition? Here, Team USA alpine skier Breezy Johnson talks about warming up, winning gold, and forgetting her mascara.

Breezy Johnson just had a movie-worthy Olympics. On Feb. 8, at the 2026 Winter Games in Milan and Cortina, she won a gold medal in women’s downhill — the first Team USA skier to do so since Lindsey Vonn in 2010. Then, at the bottom of her Super-G run, her boyfriend, Connor Watkins, proposed. The two met on Bumble in 2023.

Johnson, 30, who has been skiing since she was 3 years old, has had quite the career so far. She finished seventh in the women’s downhill at the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang, then went on to win gold in the women’s downhill and team combined at the 2025 World Championships.

While she’s been on podiums before, Johnson says winning gold again at the 2026 Olympic Games felt surreal. “I’d come to terms with the fact that the Olympics is just really hard and it’s only once every four years. It’s hard to have all those stars align at the right time and in the right place,” she says.

The proposal made it even more memorable. While she didn’t expect it to get so much attention, she says the whole scene was perfect. As she puts it, “It was cool to combine the two loves of my life.”

After Johnson posted engagement photos on Instagram, including one of a mini plaque with “Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?” — a lyric from “The Alchemy” by Taylor Swift — the singer commented. “‘Where’s the trophy? He just comes running over to me’ CONGRATULATIONS!!!” Swift wrote. As a longtime fan, the skier says it was the icing on the cake for her. “It was really cool hearing that she was watching the Olympics,” she tells Bustle. “Our whole team went to go see the Eras Tour when it was in Denver.”

As we chat on Zoom, Johnson is in the middle of postrace physical therapy, her legs wrapped in compression boots. With the Winter Games in the rearview mirror, she’s currently prepping for the World Cup finals that will be held in Norway at the end of March. Here, the gold medalist talks about how she gets in the zone, her best pre-ski sleep tips, and why she’s happy to have zits on race day.

Walk me through how you get ready to race.

I’m an early riser. I’ll eat breakfast and then do three rounds of warm-ups, on and off hill. We then inspect our equipment and get reports from our coaches, who are stationed along the course, about the snow conditions, so we can make adjustments as we ski.

What’s going through you mind at the top of the mountain?

I do a lot of visualization. When I’m nervous I use the mantra “You’re only nervous because you have a chance.” I also like Eleanor Roosevelt’s “Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent,” but I change it to “Nobody can make you feel pressure without your consent.” The biggest person that I can let down on any day is myself.

Do you have any superstitions before an event?

I have a special pair of race socks. I also have to knit myself a new headband before every event, and I always fishtail braid my hair before a run. It stems back to the the first time I joined the World Cup [in the 2015-16 season].

There was one race where I forgot to braid my hair, and then I got hurt. Now I have to do it every time. A lot of people in ski racing also have ticks they do. Lindsey [Vonn] does her pole thing. Others click their poles together before they plant them. I’m a big stomper.

Do you listen to anything as you get ready?

I’m a big audiobook listener. Right now it’s the fantasy Dragon Blood series by Lindsay Buroker.

Did you have any rituals with Team USA?

We do a team clap where we all try to be in sync and clap at the same time, and then we ridicule whoever mistimes the clap. Team USA are also big Sour Patch Kids eaters.

How do you get good sleep before an event?

I’m a big napper, but the night before, I like to do progressive muscle relaxation. I’ll start at my toes and think about them getting heavier, then go up my body all the way to my head, since that’s where you have the most going on. If you relax your body first, hopefully your head will follow.

Did you sleep really well the night after you won?

I actually slept horribly! I had these visions that the next day I was told “Oh, yeah, sorry, we’re going to need that medal back.” Once I had the medal, I sort of couldn’t believe it. My brain’s still trying to understand it. I’m like, “OK, when’s the catch? When’s the film crew going to be like, ‘Gotcha!’?”

What’s your pregame skin care routine?

It’s actually funny because when I won the World Championships last year, I woke up that morning with a big zit in the middle of my forehead. I was like, “I think this is maybe a sign that I might win today.” The universe can’t deal with me both winning and being pretty.

Of course something like that would happen when cameras will be all in your face.

The morning of the downhill in Cortina, I got on the chairlift and realized that I forgot my eyeliner and mascara and I was like, “Oh, nice. So I’ll be really ugly.” And I was like, “Maybe that means I’ll win again today.”

It’s like when you go outside looking sloppy and run into your ex.

Exactly. For the girls who are worried about going out for that one day and running into their ex, some of us accidentally win the Olympics that way.

As Miranda Priestly famously declared in The Devil Wears Prada, florals for spring aren’t exactly groundbreaking. Certain trends, however, become mainstays for a reason. Now that the sun is setting around 7 p.m., it’s time to bury the drab neutrals of winter in the back of your closet and break out your pastels.

This year, florals have gained a surprising endorsement from a style savant: Emily Ratajkowski. The supermodel typically favors the grunge aesthetic, wearing sporty crop tops and baggy pants, no matter the season. But in a new rom-com-coded ad campaign for KIKO Milano’s new Love Fusion foundation, she channeled 13 Going On 30’s Jenna Rink and gave the girl-next-door aesthetic a go.

EmRata’s Floral Mini

Ratajkowksi starred in KIKO Milano’s March 9 ad, which played on the latest launch being a meet-cute between skin care and makeup. Fittingly, the ad took inspo from early-2000s romantic comedy trailers, nailing every trope, including Ratajkowski’s ‘fits. Of course, it’s a genre that EmRata already has some experience with, considering her supporting role in Too Much, the rom-com TV show by Lena Dunham. For this campaign, however, EmRata was dressed to take on the main character role.

In the video, Ratajkowski channeled the leading ladies of the early-aughts, sporting peppy floral prints and bright pastels. In one scene, EmRata paired a multicolored floral minidress, which was trimmed with delicate white lace, with a baby pink button-down cardigan on top.

Her Girl-Next-Door Cardigan

As the ad continued, EmRata kept channeling the early 2000s in another pastel-hued look. Her ‘fit — which included a pale pink satin pencil skirt and butter yellow cardigan — was a picture-perfect reference to the era’s go-to office wear, while still incorporating 2026’s trendiest color.

Ever since the summer of 2025, the refreshing yellow shade has been taking over. This spring, it’s back and better than ever, thanks to style stars like Kylie Jenner, Hilary Duff, and now, Ratajkowski. Her fitted butter yellow sweater struck the ideal balance between polished and casual, perfect for a rom-com heroine.

Rom-coms are so back — and here’s hoping this aesthetic is here to say.

Olivia Rodrigo is a rock-and-roll girl at heart, always wearing punk-inspired looks — but making them spicy — while performing on stage. But the singer is also a noted vintage fashion girlie, with a history of collecting archival piece, from her birthday Blumarine mini to her 1995 Versace gown at the 2024 Grammys.

Over the weekend, Rodrigo jetted to Paris Fashion Week, sitting in the front row at Chloe’s Fall 2026 show (and cleverly avoiding questions about the title of her anticipated third album). Naturally, she extended her trip to take in some iconic Parisian sights, and in true Fashion Week spirit, she did it in a vintage look that added a coquette flair to her usual gothic aesthetic.

Olivia’s Lace Mini

Posing in front of the Eiffel Tower, Rodrigo showed off a vintage Anna Sui look from the designer’s Spring 1994 collection, proving her prowess at selecting archival pieces that still look fresh today. She wore a long-sleeved black babydoll dress with a white lapel collar, matching tuxedo-like cuffs, and buttons leading to a poofy, high-waisted miniskirt.

Her bustier featured floral-inspired eyelet cutouts that continued down her sleeves and outlined her uber-short scalloped hem. Rodrigo added another preppy touch by wearing white knee-high socks under her black patent leather Mary Jane heels from Jimmy Choo. Wednesday Addams would either be horrified by her frilly flair or approve of her black-and-white attire.

Olivia’s PFW Look

At Chloé’s show, Rodrigo switched gears, embracing the fashion house’s signature bohemian-chic aesthetic. She donned a flowing pink sundress from Chloé’s pre-Fall 2026 collection with spaghetti straps, tiers of sheer gray lace on top, and more ornate pink lace embroidery at the floor-length hem.

This time, she added some jewelry to her ensemble, including a long gold pendant necklace and a charm choker with two extended chains. She carried the brand’s iconic Paddington bag in an exotic python leather finish with chunky gold hardware, and completed her look with tan peep-toe clogs that barely peeked out from her dress.

A year after debuting her relationship with writer and stylist Jade Whipkey, Anna Camp is opening up about her sexuality — and celebrating the journey here.

During an appearance on Tommy DiDario’s podcast I’ve Never Said This Before, in which guests are invited to share something they previously haven’t expressed, Camp came out as bisexual.

“I don’t think that I’ve ever said this in a public forum ... I don’t even think I’ve said it fully to even my friends or my family,” Camp said in People’s preview of the March 10 episode. “But as a 43-year-old woman, I’m very proud of myself for owning my sexuality at this age. I think I’m a very strong person for doing it in somewhat of a spotlight, with people criticizing and judging and making assumptions. I’m really proud to be bisexual.”

Anna Camp’s Coming Out Experience

After appearing together on social media early last year, Camp and Whipkey made their red-carpet debut at the June 2025 premiere of Bride Hard.

“The largest obstacle I faced this year personally was juggling the emotions about coming out in my 40s, which included guilt for not embracing it sooner and excitement for finally being free from the constraints that had been placed on me by society and my upbringing,” Camp told Out in October. “I overcame it through support from my friends and family and through connecting with supportive members of the queer community.”

Today, while opening up about being a bisexual woman, Camp told DiDario that the majority of responses have been “very supportive, thank goodness.” But, she acknowledged: “There’s always these outliers.”

The Scream 7 star explained that she doesn’t take bullying personally. Rather, Camp is focused on her own evolution. “You think you know yourself, and you think you’ve got this idea of who you are, and that’s how your life is going to go — and that’s happened to me several times in my life, where I thought that I knew what was happening,” she said.

Camp was previously married to Michael Mosley and, later, her Pitch Perfect co-star Skylar Astin.

“To continue to evolve as a person means that your partners can either evolve with you, or not,” Camp said. “And I find myself really having a major evolution in my 40s, and not being afraid of it. I mean, sure there are times that I feel like, Oh, god, like I’m taking a risk, this is scary, I’m doing it in a public forum — but to say, ‘No, I only get one life. And I want to be happy, and I want to learn the most about myself that I can,’ that’s what life is all about.”

Her Sweet Relationship With Jade Whipkey

In a September birthday post for Camp, Whipkey offered moving insight into the pair’s relationship.

“Thank you for letting me learn about you everyday,” she wrote. “The way you wash your face with the headband that stays on your towel rack that does not have a towel because it is too close to the counter. The hands you got from your mother. How you love to swim but only in a warm pool. The way you love everything and everyone around you. You deserve it all and we are creating it together!”

In the comments, Camp called Whipkey her “everything” and her “favorite human on the planet.” She continued: “Thank you for letting me see ur soul and love u with all I have. It’s a lot. So I hope ur ready for it all.”

And come February, Camp asked Whipkey to be her Valentine during a gondola ride at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas. “My child self is still jumping up and down. Anna you have healed so many parts of me and bring me closer to the girl I am,” Whipkey wrote — sharing her hopes that she might be Camp’s Valentine every year.

Hilary Duff gets more vulnerable than ever on her new album, luck... or something, but now, she’s opening up about a scarier time in her life. On the March 9 episode of Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast, the singer discussed her brief experience with eating disorders, which happened when she was a teenager at the height of tabloid culture.

Speaking about growing up in the early 2000s, Duff said she had “quite a bit of self-confidence” and a “good head on my shoulders,” but she wasn’t immune to the anxieties and comparisons that came with her career.

“Of course, those normal things came up,” she said. “Then on top of it, I was dealing with people commenting on my body at a young age, starting to get photographed, and people asking you how many times you weigh yourself or comparing you to people that were thinner than you or other girls in your line of work.”

As a result, she was affected by “insecurities” that made her self-conscious of her body. “I definitely struggled for a little while there, just trying to fit a certain mold and have control over something in my life,” she said. “Thankfully that was pretty short-lived, but definitely toyed with it during a time of... a lot of moving parts to my life and just trying to also form as a person.”

How Hilary Moved On

Duff first revealed her experience in a 2022 interview with Women’s Health Australia, stating that she briefly battled an eating disorder when she was 17, on the verge of 18. “Because of my career path, I can't help but be like, ‘I am on camera and actresses are skinny,’” she recalled. “It was horrifying.”

Speaking to Shetty, Duff revealed that major events, such as becoming a mother and entering a stable relationship with husband Matthew Koma, helped her heal from the pressure that had caused her to struggle in the first place.

“Honestly, I think it took just time and bigger things happening in my life, like having children, that took the spot of the other things that didn’t mean as much to worry about,” she explained. “Luckily, those things felt easy for me to replace.

Whether she’s wearing “naked dresses” or serving opulent glamour while dripping in diamonds, Dakota Johnson’s style always lands her on best-dressed lists. And apparently, her envy-worthy wardrobe goes far beyond red carpets and fashion show front rows; she’s just as chic and spicy when she’s off-duty. Take her latest campaign for Calvin Klein as proof.

On Monday, March 9, the 50 Shades of Grey alum was announced as the new face of the brand, joining the ranks of ambassadors such as Bad Bunny, Rosalía, and Jungkook. Naturally, she kicked off the partnership by stripping to nothing but her Calvins in the promo materials, channeling the label’s signature risqué ethos.

Dakota’s Y2K-Styled Underwear

Directed and photographed by Gordon von Steiner, Johnson modeled several lingerie pieces, two of them styled with an early aughts flair. In one picture, she wore black bikini bottoms pulled up for a high-cut effect, worn with a black belt cinched against her bare waist. If this looks familiar, it’s probably because Carrie Bradshaw rocked the same belt hack on SATC — a style that has since been largely attributed to her.

In another topless ensemble, the Materialists star evoked the whale tail styling of yore. She wore low-rise, baggy jeans that fully exposed her teeny black thong, pulled high up her waist. If you needed a sign that the Y2K relic is back, let this be it.

In a separate layout, the actor lounged on a poolchair in a brassiere. Her choice? The new underwired Icon Cotton Modal Ultralight Bra ($52), marked by a logo-clad band.

Then, in another shot, she posed atop a pool table in two-toned undies ($24), which featured a stretchy black base and white, logo-laden straps.

Her Denim Collection

It wouldn’t be a Calvin Klein campaign if there wasn’t a topless jeans photo. So Johnson delivered not one, but three denim looks. Sitting atop a piano, the Peanut Butter Falcon actor wore relaxed Baggy Jeans ($149) with distressed knee holes.

She rocked the opposite silhouette in another layout, opting for the Archive High Rise Slim Jean ($129), a ‘90s-inspired body-hugging style with a straight leg, paired with a Trucker Jacket ($149) à la Canadian tuxedo, albeit topless and braless underneath.

In a press release about the partnership and the saucy off-duty vibe, Johnson said, “When a woman is alone at home working or reading or doing whatever, it can feel quite liberating and sensual. Channeling that, and pairing that energy with Calvin Klein's iconography, felt both singular and classic.” She added, “Sometimes, a woman just BEING is the sexiest thing.”

The Summer I Turned Pretty movie is officially on the way, but the road back to Cousins Beach may a bit of a slow burn.

Shortly after announcing the TSITP movie in 2025, book and series creator Jenny Han told Today that the film’s release date would not be in 2026. “We still have to make it,” she said. Now, Gavin Casalegno (who plays Jeremiah in the hit YA series) is shedding some light on where production stands.

TSITP, Take 4

In a Feb. 26 interview with People, Casalegno provided a candid update on the highly anticipated movie. “I’m going to be so honest, I don’t even have a script,” he told the magazine. “So I don’t even know when we’re filming.”

While Casalegno may not have a script yet, it has been written — as Han revealed to The Wrap late last year. Han (who will write and direct) previously shared in a Prime Video press release that the film will follow “another big milestone left in Belly’s journey,” which many fans theorized would be her wedding to Conrad.

Their nuptials get a sweet epilogue in the third TSITP book, We’ll Always Have Summer, but Han didn’t want to shoehorn their “I do” into the show’s final season. As she told Entertainment Weekly, “I felt like we just went through a whole season of wedding planning, so I didn’t want to do more wedding. I also didn’t want to do a five-minute wedding either. So I felt really happy with where we ended.”

Fortunately, a movie could provide the kind of closure fans are hoping for — just don’t ask Casalegno for specifics. As the actor told People, “It’s going to be like game time. Like Jenny Han calling me up and [being] like, ‘Hey, by the way, you’re going to be on a plane in a week.’ So, we’ll see what happens.”

His Hopes For The Upcoming Movie

While details are limited on the plot and production of the TSITP movie, Casalegno has shared what he’d like to see for his character. “I did request a death scene,” he joked with Us Weekly in February. “I don’t know if we’re gonna get it.”

More realistically, he previously told the magazine he hopes Jeremiah is still pursuing his passion for the culinary arts. As for his love life? “It might be a little too early for him to be jumping back into a relationship — if Gavin was giving advice,” Casalegno said. “But he’s not, so whatever makes him happy. Go for it but I am definitely hesitant about a relationship for him.”

Did you hear that? It’s the sound of millions of people yawning at once because they lost an hour of sleep. That’s what happens when the clocks spring forward for Daylight Saving Time, which falls on the second Sunday of March every year. The switch happens at 2 a.m. when the clocks jump to 3 a.m. — and it means you might wake up groggy and disoriented.

Daylight Saving Time — which runs from March 8 to Nov. 1 this year — allows you to enjoy some extra sunlight in the evenings and sets the scene for summer, but it can also can seriously mess with your sleep for a few days until you adjust.

On TikTok, people are talking about the struggle. “I felt that hour. I’m gonna need that hour back,” said creator @mamitiff. “I was already exhausted.” In her comments, someone said, “My body is so tired.” Another wrote, “I’m in a terrible mood because I’m so exhausted lmao. Thought it was just me!” Others are joking about feeling off. “Am I the only one who got messed up by the time change?” said creator @meganecristal on March 8. “It feels like it’s 11 a.m. It’s 4:20 p.m. I just ate breakfast an hour ago.”

It’s the tiniest shift, and yet Daylight Saving can truly throw off your routine. Maybe your internal clock doesn’t know when to be tired, you wake up later than you’d like, and you feel extra sluggish as you go about your day. Here, experts share a few tips for getting yourself back on track.

Why You’re So Sleepy

According to Erin Clifford, JD, MA, LPC, a wellness coach and author, the seasonal shift in daylight accompanied by the time change can really do a number on your body’s rhythm. “Even a one-hour time change can throw off our internal clocks, and that disruption can affect our mood, focus, productivity, and just how we are feeling overall,” she tells Bustle.

Add in the fact that it remains brighter later into the day, and it’s no wonder your entire system is confused. “The longer days and additional sunlight can make us feel mentally more alert and energized, but for a lot of us, we simultaneously experience a physical fatigue,” she says. “This happens because the body's nervous system is working to recalibrate the body's circadian rhythm.”

Many people also forget it’s Daylight Saving Time and struggle to adjust because they feel blindsided and confused every time they look at a clock. It’s possible you overslept this morning, had trouble falling asleep last night, or just feel a bit out of it. Clifford says it’s common to be groggy, irritable, and brain foggy — like you just can’t focus. It also might explain why you’re craving a nap or a second (or third) iced coffee.

How To Adjust

While it might feel dramatic right now, your body will adjust to the new time within a couple of days. Until then, you can do a few things to speed up the process — and make yourself feel less sleepy.

However painful it might be, Clifford warns against snoozing your alarm tomorrow morning. “During the first few days, get your feet on the floor immediately after your alarm goes off,” she says. If you continue to lie in bed until the last second, you reinforce to your body and mind that it’s still Standard Time, and that means you won’t adjust as quickly.

Once you’re up, get some sunlight in your eyes ASAP. “Open the curtains to expose yourself to the natural light,” she says. “If you can, step outside for a few minutes. That's even better! The morning light signals to our bodies that it is time to stop producing melatonin and helps us feel more awake.”

If you’re still sleepy, do some morning shimmies, go for a walk, try a viral TikTok workout — or whatever else feels fun. “Morning movement can help with re-regulating your circadian rhythm,” she says. “Even ten minutes signals to your nervous system that the day has started and you are ready to go. This helps with overall energy levels and can also lead to better sleep the next night.”

While your body might be screaming for a nap and a fourth cup of coffee right now, try to skip it for now. “I know it's hard, and I know you're tired, but the extra caffeine, especially after 2 p.m., can lead to a poor night's sleep or trouble falling asleep in the first place,” Clifford says. “When trying to restabilize your circadian rhythm during the time change, consistency is key. Stay hydrated, get moving, and maintain your regular routine even when you’re tired to help your body adapt.”

Timothée Chalamet has made an enemy out of ballet and opera supporters — including Doja Cat, apparently. On March 8, the rapper responded to the actor’s controversial comments in a recent interview with Matthew McConaughey for Variety, where he insinuated that the art forms were dead.

“I don’t want to be working in ballet or opera where it’s like, ‘Hey, keep this thing alive, even though no one cares about this anymore,’” he said. In a since-deleted TikTok video, Doja gave a brief history lesson, stating that “opera is 400 years old, ballet is 500 years old,” and called out Chalamet directly, hilariously mispronouncing his name.

“Somebody named Timothée Chalamet — big guy, by the way — had the nerve to say on camera that nobody cares about it,” she said. “I’m sure you can walk into an opera theater right now, seats will be filled out, and nobody’s saying a word as the performance is going because everybody has that much respect for it. There is an etiquette around opera. There’s etiquette around ballet.”

Doja’s Defense

Doja described the theater mediums as “f*cking beautiful,” before acknowledging the performers who keep them going. “People go there every day to the dance studio. Dancers show up [at] 8 a.m., 6 a.m. whatever the f*** [time] they show up, and they break, and they bleed every single day just because they have respect for it,” she said. “They love what they do.”

She went on to specifically note that her and Chalamet’s industries “have a tough time” but keep going, just like ballet and opera. “Doesn’t mean people don’t care about it. Dancers care. Singers care. The audience cares,” she said, before telling him to take notes from their decorum. “You show up in a nice outfit, you sit the f*ck down and you shut the f*ck up. That’s the usual etiquette around those things. Maybe learn something from that.”

Chalamet has yet to respond to the controversy, but he caught himself in the moment. “All respect to the ballet and opera people out there,” he clarified to McConaughey. “Damn, I just took shots for no reason.”

In a December interview, he revealed that his mom, sister, and grandmother danced for the New York City Ballet, stating, “I grew up dreaming big at the backstage at the Koch Theater.”

On March 13, the National Women’s Soccer League kicks off its 2026 season when the Washington Spirit take on the Portland Thorns. After an expansion adding the Boston Legacy and Denver Summit earlier this year, the league now has 16 teams for the first time ever. “I have a lot of favorite games, and my first game with Legacy will be memorable,” says goalkeeper Casey Murphy, who previously played for North Carolina Courage and signed with Boston in December.

But whether they’re joining a new team this year or returning to their old one, most NWSL players are just looking forward to getting back out on the field. They also have goals they’re looking to hit in 2026. For Kansas City Current forward Ally Sentnor, that’s becoming a “reliable goal scorer in the NWSL.” Others, like Savy King, have their eyes on a trophy: “Winning the championship for Angel City would be the goal this year.”

With such high achievements on their mind, these NWSL stars are ones you’ll want to keep your eye on this season. Below, 10 top players divulge their pre-game rituals, including how they hydrate, their good luck charms, and what goes on in the locker room before kickoff.

Gisele Thompson (Angel City FC, 20)

How do you get in the zone before a game?

I don’t talk a lot. I’m really in a serious, locked-in mood. I will listen to music on the bus there, or I’ll watch TikToks to get my mind off the game so I could be more calm. My FYP changes all the time — sometimes, I get astrology and card readings, but I love funny TikToks.

Do you have any traditions, superstitions, or good luck charms?

I try to not have them, but I do put on my left cleat before my right every single time.

When you’re traveling to games, do you keep it cozy or do you like to dress up?

When I’m at home, I don’t like to think about what I have to wear before I play, because I feel like I already have a lot on my mind and I don’t want to stress myself out even more. For away games, we all have the same uniform, so that’s easy.

Do you put on any makeup or skin care before a game?

The only thing I wear is the NYX eyebrow gel and sometimes a lip stain.

Ally Sentnor (Kansas City Current, 22)

How do you get in the zone before a game?

I take a nap so I’m energized for the game. I also like to vibe out with teammates in the locker room and take a deep breath when the national anthem is going on.

What do you eat to stay energized?

Lots of pancakes on game day, but also smoothies — a chocolate and peanut butter mix.

Do you have any traditions, superstitions, or good luck charms?

As the season goes on, there are definitely certain meals that I like to have. I had a turkey and cheese sandwich with mustard every game day last year, but I don’t mind switching it up.

Do you put on any makeup or have a pre-game skin care routine?

I apply Drunk Elephant bronzing drops to make me look a little tan, and Tarte’s tinted SPF sunscreen.

Croix Bethune (Kansas City Current, 24)

How do you get in the zone before a game?

For home games, my parents are usually in town, so we’ll cook breakfast together, vibe to some oldies, and then I have a pregame shower. Everything’s timed to a T, leading up to when I leave to go to the stadium.

How do you hydrate before a game?

I have water and Cool Blue Gatorade mixed with electrolytes. The Cool Blue flavor is the best.

Do you have any superstitions, traditions, or good luck charms?

I put everything on from left to right, like my socks, cleats, and shin guards. I was a gum gal, but now I need a Jolly Rancher or something that I can chew or hold in my mouth before the game.

When traveling to a game, do you like to stay comfy or dress up?

We have mandatory team gear, but I like to stay comfy.

Onyeka Gamero (Bay FC, 20)

How do you get in the zone before a game?

It starts days and even weeks before, making sure that I’m prepared. I want to go into the game knowing that I did everything that I could. I sleep well, eat well, and train on my own. I also take a banana and Liquid IV, but I feel like those are superstitions.

When traveling to a game, do you like to stay comfy or dress up?

I overthink things a little too much. Maybe you’ll see me in sweatpants or the same jeans every single week. Who knows?

Are you ever nervous? If so, how do you calm those nerves?

Totally. The hardest thing is the mental aspect. To help, I love to train and eat and sleep well. I put in a lot of work to make sure I’m confident.

Emeri Adames (Seattle Reign FC, 19)

How do you get in the zone before a game?

I like having a little calmness in the locker room. I’ll get ready, sit in my locker, listen to music, chill a little bit, visualize, and focus on my game. My pre-game playlist is upbeat music, but I also like listening to calm music like SZA. I also love Harry Styles.

Do you have any superstitions, traditions, or good luck charms?

I like doing my hair in the locker room before the game — that’s soothing to me. I also eat protein pancakes before the game.

When traveling to a game, do you like to stay comfy or dress up?

It depends on the weather. If it’s really cold in Seattle, I like to wear a sweatsuit. If it’s a bit nicer out, I like to dress up a little.

Do you put on any makeup or skin care products before a game?

Just skin care, and then I curl my eyelashes and use a little bit of mascara. I’ve been really loving the Byoma Hydrating Serum and I’ve been trying a lot of new mascaras to see if I can find my favorite.

How do you cope with stress or pressure before a game?

Breathing exercises and visualizing. We play these games every week. We train every single day, and you push yourself so hard in training that the games begin to feel easier.

Emma Sears (Racing Louisville FC, 25)

How do you get in the zone before a game?

I’m very structured with my routine. If we have a home game, I always go to our recovery place in the morning. I do red light therapy and then I’ll grab a coffee. I like to hang out, organize my apartment, and make sure that I feel put together. Then, I take a shower, get ready, and play music two hours before heading to the stadium.

What’s on your pre-game playlist?

I like a little variety. Rap is probably what gets me the most excited for games, but I also love country music and R&B.

How do you hydrate before a game?

I start my hydration a couple days before games. My favorite electrolytes are LMNT — I usually keep those in my bag.

What do you like to eat to stay energized?

I keep it simple with rice and ground beef, and pancakes are huge for me on game days. I also love smoothies, especially if we have an earlier game.

Do you have any superstitions, traditions, or good luck charms?

Unfortunately, I’m really superstitious. It haunts me a little bit because I have to do things a certain way. I always put my right cleat on and then my left cleat, and then my right shin guard and then my left shin guard. I’m also always in the same warmup line before games and I never touch the ball on the field until our warmups are done.

When traveling to a game, do you like to stay comfy or dress up?

If I have a cool outfit planned, then that always helps. I’m going to try to be better about having outfits planned instead of picking them on the day.

Reilyn Turner (Portland Thorns FC, 23)

How do you get in the zone before a game?

I always listen to two gospel songs before a game. If I don’t listen to them, I don’t feel like I’m locked in.

How do you hydrate before a game?

I have The Right Stuff, and this Baja salt that was recommended to me. It’s terrible, but I like pickle juice. And then I do hot sauce shots before the game.

What do you like to eat to stay energized?

Lots of carbs and salt, rice, and chicken.

Do you put on makeup or apply any skin care products before a game?

I have a clear e.l.f. eyebrow gel that’s really good. Sometimes, I’ll do fake freckles, but that’s it.

Avery Patterson (Houston Dash, 23)

How do you get in the zone before a big game?

In the zone is not really where I operate. I operate well when I’m enjoying myself and when I’m having fun, so I like to listen to upbeat music or play mind-numbing games on my phone. I’m all over games like Fruit Merge or chess.

How do you hydrate before a game?

I drink like two or three LMNTs, to the point where they are almost useless because you’re drinking so many of them. I also do pickle juice beforehand, and during the game I just drink water.

What do you eat to stay energized?

I sweat a lot and since I play in Houston, I have to eat a lot of electrolyte-rich foods. I eat pickles, salt bagels, and salty pretzels.

Do you have any superstitions, traditions, or good luck charms?

I tape my pinky finger before every game, because it’s a tradition I like to carry with me from the University of North Carolina.

Does your coach ever tell you anything before a game to get you focused or inspired?

Pre-game talks are always a huge thing. Our coach usually does it, but at the end of last year, we had our athletic trainers say something.

Savy King (Angel City FC, 21)

How do you get in the zone before a big game?

I’m the quiet type before a game. Some people are out dancing in the locker room, but I’m pretty mellow and keep to myself. I’ll do a lot of visualizing and be in my own world.

How do you hydrate before a game?

It depends on what time the game is. If we have a late game, I’ll drink four waters and four electrolytes, which is a lot.

What do you eat to stay energized?

I eat Trolli gummy worms before games and at halftime. That’s my secret sauce.

Are you ever nervous before a game?

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve gotten really good at managing my nerves, so it’s pretty much turned into excitement for the most part.

Do you put on any makeup or skin care before a game?

I just wear mascara. I have a bunch of different ones — I grab whatever I see.

Casey Murphy (Boston Legacy FC, 29)

How do you get in the zone before a big game?

Once we get on the bus to head into the match, it’s time to lock in and get focused. If I’m nervous, I like a little yoga and some breathing exercises to calm down.

What do you eat to stay energized?

On game day, I stick to simple foods — breakfast foods are pretty much what I like to have.

Do you like to stay comfy or dress up before a game?

When I’m traveling, I’m going comfy.

How do you hydrate?

Hydration is grabbing my big water bottle and drinking it three times a day. My go-to water bottle is 40 ounces.

Do you have a pre-game playlist?

I listen to whatever the girls have on in the locker room. That just does the job.

The National Women’s Soccer League’s 2026 season is shaping up to be the biggest year yet for the 14-year-old league: There are two expansion teams joining, Washington Spirit standout Trinity Rodman is returning on a record-breaking contract, and the Kansas City Current are looking to de-throne reigning champions Gotham FC.

Washington and Portland will take the pitch on March 13 at Audi Field for the first game of the season to kick off what could be the league’s biggest year for attendance. So what will the league’s new expansion teams do in their first season? And which players will stand out? Bustle spoke to NWSL experts for their predictions on that and more of what we’ll see on and off the pitch this season.

New Teams Fighting For Relevance

The NWSL grew to 16 teams going into the 2026 season, adding Denver Summit FC and Boston Legacy FC. They’re the latest addition to a quickly growing league — Angel City FC and San Diego Wave FC joined in 2022, followed by Bay FC and Utah Royals FC in 2024. Atlanta will get a team in 2028 and NWSL commissioner Jessica Berman told reporters she is targeting another expansion team to launch that year, though the city has not been announced.

But what does that mean for the quality of play?

“This year, I think the question becomes can it continue to maintain its high level of competitiveness from top to bottom? Because that's what separates the NWSL from every other league in the world,” Jenn Hildreth, lead play-by-play commentator for the NWSL on ESPN, tells Bustle.

There’s excitement for both new teams, and it’s clear Denver’s fans are ready to show out in a big way. The franchise announced that it sold more than 45,000 tickets for the home opener, which puts it on track to break the single-game NWSL attendance record set by Bay FC in 2025. “It’s going to be massive,” says Lori Lindsey, the lead NWSL analyst for Prime Video and CBS.

The NWSL eliminated all drafts in 2025, following sweeping changes with its new collective bargaining agreement, which makes it even more intriguing to see how the expansion teams will debut. “Now every team has to go out and hunt and find the players that they want,” Lindsey tells Bustle. “Sometimes you get that right, sometimes you don't in terms of the mix of players in your first season.”

Trinity Rodman Ups The Ante

USWNT and Washington Spirit forward Trinity Rodman signed a deal in January reportedly worth more than $2 million annually, making her the highest-paid woman’s soccer player in the world — ending months of speculation that the beloved American star would leave the league she was drafted into in 2021.

To keep her stateside, the league introduced the High Impact Player Rule to allow teams to exceed the salary cap in certain circumstances — and the player’s union isn’t happy about it. But fans agree the league is better with Rodman in it, and she will be a player to watch as she tries to avenge her team’s 1-0 loss to Gotham FC in the 2025 NWSL final.

“I think Trinity Rodman is going to have a dominant year,” predicts Briana Scurry, former USWNT and Hall of Fame goalkeeper, and a contributor to VICE TV’s upcoming soccer docuseries, Soccer's American Dream. “With the contract uncertainty behind her and entering into a World Cup qualification year, I think she is going to be the clear favorite for league MVP.”

Triple Espresso Is Back

Portland Thorns FC forward Sophia Wilson and Chicago Stars FC forward Mallory Swanson — the national team players known as “Triple Espresso” alongside Rodman — are expected to return this season after giving birth last fall.

“Those are three major players I think most people know, and seeing them get back on the field is going to be exciting. I love that we are seeing so many more women feel empowered, supported, encouraged to believe that they can start their families and still come back and have a career,” says Hildreth, who co-authored the book Tough as a Mother, which explores motherhood and women in sports.

“I've covered women's professional soccer in this country since the WSA. I have only ever seen a handful — and I'm talking counting on one hand — of players who have come back after having children and played in the league each year. By my count, in 2025 and already the start of 2026, we will have had 11 players who either had babies in that time or [are] on maternity leave right now.”

That growing count of athlete-mothers reflects the shifting attitudes toward building a family and a career as a player in the league.

“Now, it is seen by the clubs as not something ‘to be dealt with,’" says former USWNT midfielder Sam Mewis, who hosts The Women's Game podcast. "It used to be not really viewed as positively by the clubs and players weren’t given as many resources to make that comeback successfully.”

Mewis thinks Wilson and Swanson’s stories will add a new perspective. “Seeing two of the league’s most popular, most talented players go through that journey and hopefully, as soon as they’re ready, be back on the field healthy, is amazing,” Mewis adds. “It’s such a testament to the player’s association and all of the players who have come before them who fought to gain those resources.”

Can Anyone Dethrone Gotham FC?

Gotham FC took home its second title in three years in 2025, beating Washington behind a goal from Rose Lavelle. It was an unlikely title for Gotham — as a No. 8 seed entering the postseason, they became the lowest seed to win a title in league history. So will they make it three in four years this season? It will be a tough road, experts predict. “Do I expect Gotham to repeat? No, but I have a caveat with that,” Hildreth says. “That's only because I think it is so very difficult to repeat in this league.”

Kansas City has two-time Golden Boot winner Temwa Chawinga returning and the addition of midfielder Croix Bethune, who Lindsey points to as a player to watch. The Spirit have Rodman, goalie Audrey Kingsbury, and reigning defensive player of the year Tara Rudd. Every team has players fighting for a potential spot on the national team for 2027’s World Cup.

“I think Kansas City is always a team to keep an eye on,” Lindsey says. “They won the Shield last year. They did it in the fastest time any team ever has. They won it very early, in September, yet they failed to win the championship the last couple of years and they've been the heavy favorites [previously].”

Plus, their roster looks promising. “Until this league figures out how to stop [Chawinga] from scoring, she is going to continue to drive that team,” Hildreth adds. “She also has incredible talent around her.”

Will There Be A New Celeb Investor?

Peyton Manning joined the NWSL as an investor in the Denver team in 2025, becoming the second Manning (Eli, the former Giants quarterback, invests in Gotham FC) and the latest in a long line of celebrity investors in the league from Patrick and Brittany Mahomes (Kansas City Current) to Natalie Portman and Serena Williams (Angel City FC). So who could be the next A-list name joining their ranks with the two new teams coming in 2028?

While there are no credible reports yet, the experts had some guesses. Mewis’ pick? “Hillary Knight, I feel like that would be a good one,” she says of the U.S. women’s hockey star. “I feel like she has ties to a lot of the cities.”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were also popular picks among those we interviewed due to their proximity to the Mahomeses. “OK, come on Patrick Mahomes, let's get your teammate and his fiancee Taylor Swift out to an NWSL game,” Hildreth says. “I think we all need to see that.”

Mercury retrograde rages on this week, continuing to mix up schedules, blur the details of logistical matters, and throw wrenches into communications of all sorts. Keep double checking those digits and re-reading those work emails before sending! However, you may find that the beginning of the week offers a silver lining. Professional slow-downs and project delays may bring you the chance to catch something you’d otherwise have missed or see an opportunity from a different angle, so take advantage of this current energy flow.

Toward the end of the week, you may have to fight the urge to act on every impulsive thought thanks to Mercury retrograde getting tangled up with adrenaline-junkie Mars. This week’s money tarot spread has you covered, though — as the cards are asking you to take things slow, savor the moment, and stay grounded. Read on if you’d like some mystical guidance from the tarot when it comes to finances and career matters this week.

Card 1: What do you need to know about your finances this week?

Cheers to you! The Six of Pentacles indicates that you’ve successfully completed a mission or otherwise accomplished something impressive when it comes to your financial life and goals. Now it’s time to take a moment to celebrate yourself and revel in the accolades that others want to shower you with. Like the figure depicted on the card, you’ve returned victoriously from some sort of endeavor, and the people around you are excited to show you their support. Perhaps you’ve reached a personal money goal or savings milestone, secured a major deal with a client, or completed an important project at work. No matter if the victory was big or small, take your moment and allow yourself to feel good about what you’ve achieved.

It’s not always easy to be the center of attention or to pat yourself on the back for a job well done. Sometimes it’s easier to just keep trucking along and not put too much emphasis on any one success. However, right now it’s important for your confidence to let others be happy for you — and perhaps practice tooting your own horn a bit, too. Whether it’s simply sharing the warmth and pride with your family or going out for a big celebratory happy hour with colleagues, soak up this moment and bottle up the feeling. You deserve to be honored for your hard work.

Card 2: How can you feel less anxious about money?

If you’ve been dealing with money-related anxieties or are feeling stress after a long period of effort put toward a financial goal, the Four Of Wands wants you to find a safe and loving place to sit and find your bearings. This card depicts a beautifully welcoming canopy of vines and fruits, with two people enthusiastically awaiting your arrival with bouquets of flowers in their hands. This symbolizes a homecoming and the feeling of stability that comes along with it — something that you probably need right now as a means to reset your nervous system and work through some of what’s been troubling you financially.

Even if things are going well generally, the stress of whatever money goals you’ve been working toward or financial issues you’ve been dealing with has certainly earned you a moment to rest and recharge your batteries. This card invites you to seek refuge in places or with people that make you feel loved and celebrated. A milestone of some sort has been reached, but worries and fears may be keeping you from letting that success serve as a motivation or confidence-booster. Slow down, go where feels like home, and give yourself a moment to recalibrate and celebrate how far you’ve come. Then you can dive back into your next steps feeling refreshed — and less stressed.

Card 3: What will impact your career this week?

This week, slow and steady wins the race. You’ve got work projects underway and career objectives clearly stated for yourself, but the route to victory right now is in thoughtfully and methodically putting one foot in front of the other. The tarot’s Knights always indicate that you’re on a mission, but this cavalryman in particular is the most cautious and responsible of the bunch — always thinking pragmatically about his next moves and dedicating himself to long-term success. Making deliberate and intentional moves will serve you much better than rushing or acting rashly. It may not necessarily be the quickest way to achieve your goals, but it’s certainly the most stable and sensible.

The Knight Of Pentacles is an especially helpful guiding force this week given that Mercury retrograde will be colliding with impulsive Mars, tempting everyone to act rashly on their ideas and barrel ahead without ensuring their plans are air-tight. By doing so, it’s more than likely that details will be missed, mistakes will be made, and things will not go according to plan — so channeling this grounded and disciplined energy instead will ensure you’re able to carry out your work goals steadily and with more longevity. There’s no need for risky shortcuts or hasty reactions when you have a foolproof long-term route to success.

A Monday morning during Mercury retrograde doesn’t sound like something to look forward to. However, this week kicks off with quizzical Mercury making a lucky trine with abundant planet Jupiter, promoting a positive outlook and a deeper level of internal understanding. A slew of gorgeous lunar connections follow, making Monday one of the sweetest days of the week. The good vibes continue to shine through the next couple days — because while Mercury retrograde may bring up matters from the past, this lovely boost from Jupiter allows you to soak up the valuable lessons from your experiences, bringing things full-circle.

By Thursday, the moon gets down to business in industrious and no-nonsense Capricorn, so perhaps it’s time for you to follow suit. You may find that working on things solo is easier than collaborative efforts now, as the moon runs into tension with tough-love Saturn and romantic Venus, adding frustrating hurdles in relationships and exacerbating Mercury retrograde’s sludgy delays. Just put one foot in front of the other and stay grounded as you head into the weekend.

The moon enters cool and collected Aquarius on Saturday morning, sparking a desire for weekend social connections and stimulating conversations. Mercury retrograde joins forces with adrenaline-fueled Mars on Sunday, so beware the urge to impulsively act on your retrograde ideas. Doing something rashly could prove to be reckless. Instead, channel this mental motivation burst into a more active planning phase. By doing so, you’ll get a lot further ahead of the game than you realize.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

A flood of inspiration and passion at the start of the week should sail you through to the end on a creative high. However, there’s no need to clutter your mind with loads of new content or studies. You’ve already got plenty of interesting ideas on deck that are worth further exploration, so don’t think too hard about where to devote your energy. Your subconscious probably knows exactly what your next steps should be.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Mercury retrograde’s self-reflective energy is hitting you hard at the start of the week, allowing you to see some of the truths that’ve been brewing beneath your feelings. Perhaps things aren’t as complicated as they once felt. It’s easier to feel confident when you don’t feel like a total mystery to yourself, but that doesn’t mean you can’t maintain that mystique for everyone else. Play your cards close to your chest, just for fun.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Recent delays at work could be a blessing in disguise this week, as the extra time spent on current projects may allow you to see an opportunity that would’ve otherwise been missed. Stay open to helpful connections and partnerships that could facilitate inner transformation, outward growth, or both. A relational catalyst like this is exactly what you need to feel like you’re making progress toward your goals.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Revisiting old ideas with fresh eyes could lead to an exciting breakthrough as the week begins, like things are finally clicking into place. Your mind is abuzz in the aftermath of these epiphanies, but stay grounded by paying close attention to the present instead of getting whisked away on a daydreamy cloud. Focus on your craft, stay on top of your responsibilities, and be in the moment when interacting with others.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Expressing yourself openly is a lot easier when you don’t feel like you have anything to hide. This week, a cosmic birdie may very well be in your ear, reminding you that it’s OK to be a little more vulnerable. Instead of overthinking your craft or overanalyzing your interactions with others, focus on simply doing your thing and trying to reach that elusive flow state. When you’re moving authentically, you don’t have time for self-consciousness.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your emotions need an outlet this week — whether that’s a creative project, a compassionate ear to listen, a cathartic workout, or a social distraction to get you out of the house. Whatever you do, don’t sit stagnantly in your feelings. Movement, whether literal or mental, will help to break things up and clear your heart of debris. Keep putting one foot in front of the other and you’ll suddenly find yourself in a whole new environment.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Relationships feel especially passionate during the first half of the week, and you’re finding loads of inspiration in your connections, romantic and otherwise. Even if it’s just a faraway crush, use it as fuel to be your best self. Everyday conversations could also lead to meaningful self-reflection this week, so think of every passing comment as something you were meant to hear. The universe is conspiring to help you grow.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

A fresh spark of inspiration has been lit beneath an old creative idea, but it’s your job to tend to that flame and breathe some new life into whatever’s currently forming. It’s easy to fall back into daydream mode, but the best way to handle this energy surge is to think practically. How can you take this feeling and turn it into something sustainable and lucrative? Do what you need to do to ensure you follow through this time.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

123

This is a back-to-basics type of week for you, so simplifying your days will serve you much better than complicating them with a bunch of new or unpredictable factors. Take things slow and give yourself space to process everything the universe throws your way — whether that’s a conversation with a friend, a gut feeling you can’t shake, or a memory that doesn’t make sense quite yet. You’ve got data, but it’s only useful if it’s sorted into the right places.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your feelings may be difficult to process or even see clearly as the week begins, and the best way to handle it may be to focus on connecting with the outside world instead. The other people in your life can bring you a lot of helpful clarity, so make time to connect with your crew or simply be more present when it comes to everyday interactions. Everyone’s got a different perspective, so grab the kaleidoscope and see what appears.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You’re in your power as this week begins. Even if Mercury retrograde has you thinking twice about what you say, the world still wants to hear your thoughts — so use your voice and focus on speaking your truth. Just remember, there’s always a balance to be found between processing things quietly and doing so out loud. The best way to serve yourself and others now is to be sure you’re doing a little bit of both.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Mercury retrograde is making it hard to know up from down or left from right, but that’s OK — because progress isn’t always linear. This week, it’s more important to listen to your heart than to try to make sense of what’s happening in your head. By simply following your excitement and listening to the universe’s little signs, you’ll connect with joys that shape your reality more than any perfectly-formed sentence ever could.

Your pull is the King of Cups, a card that points to emotional stability, fairness, and wisdom. The vibe is very much someone who stays cool under pressure, and that’s a mantra you can take with you into the week.

The energy of this card might remind you to keep a level head, especially if you’ve been on edge or if you find yourself in a stressful situation. As you go to work, field texts from friends, and navigate the dating scene, remember to take deep breaths — and take it all in stride.

You might find yourself feeling this way naturally. You’ll wake up unbothered and stay that way all day, even as tasks pile up on your plate. It might allow you to be the voice of reason for others, like a coworker who’s stressing out or a friend who just went through a breakup. Be the person they can turn to as they air out their feelings, and share your best advice.

If you feel shaky yourself, that’s your cue to step back and rebalance. Go to the gym to blow off steam or schedule a night to lay low and relax. You might have more going on than you can handle, but remember: you’ve felt that before and somehow always made it through. It sounds cheesy, but it’s true.

This card reminds you to be aware of what’s driving your thoughts and feelings. If you catch yourself over-explaining or overthinking, pause and do a self check-in. What are you trying to prove? Who are you trying to impress?

The same is true if you want to soothe yourself by overspending. Think about what’s really going on or what void you’re trying to fill. In these tense moments, sometimes all you need is a walk, a brain break, or a nap.

Look for ways to protect your energy as you go through the week. If someone ghosts you on the apps, for example, you might be inclined to take it personally, text all your friends, and swear off dating forever. While that’s valid, think of the precious mental energy you’re wasting on being mad at a stranger. See how it feels to unmatch and move on.

Starting today, keep an eye out for people who embody the King’s steady, clear-headed energy, and gravitate towards them. Since this card represents emotions, it might also be a sign to schedule a chat with your therapist. It will feel good to have someone support you for a change, so hop on that Zoom and let it all out.
