EDITOR’S NOTE

Happy Sunday. Today, I’m determined to swim in the ocean at least one more time before the weather (and the water) cools down. As a certified Warm Weather Princess (look it up), I’m doing everything I can to hype myself up, including packing extra warm socks. A few more things I’m excited about:

Anne Hathaway kicked off Fashion Week with an instantly chic, easy upgrade to my beloved, go-to Canadian Tuxedo. The classic summer staple she used to transform the look? I already own two.
It’s only right (and scientific) to test the theory that this three-ingredient pasta recipe A) tastes better than mac and cheese, and B) takes only five minutes to prep.
Burgundy haters, back down. These 10 new polish designs bring a stylish and fresh twist to the OG nail shade. I need to try number two out stat.
Is everything you know about washing your body a lie? Excuse me while I take an (extra-long) everything shower to decide.
The sneaky way to add a pop of color to my fall wardrobe involves buying a pair of punchy red shoes. White sneakers, thank you for all you’ve done, you can retire now.

🐎 The pants we wore in elementary school and tried to block from memory are making a comeback — and they’re way cooler and more expensive-looking than we thought. Moms everywhere, consider this our apology.

📞 If you also suffer from the millennial urge to leave your number at the end of every voicemail, brace yourself: This other phone habit is under serious threat of extinction.

💇‍♀️ Got a hankering for a big fall chop?. Enter: the "Curtain Crop,” which has already been dubbed the Cool Girl haircut of the season.

🥤 Apparently, the outerwear we haven’t seen since the early 2000s has been dubbed "the full-sugar Coca-Cola of jackets." We look forward to the Exactly Four Days This Fall when it’s practical to wear.

🎨 All-black outfits: we love you, we cherish you. But there’s a new neutral that fashionable people are turning to for their monochrome looks, and it’s just as easy to pull off but way more unexpected.

Even if your tennis knowledge begins and ends with Challengers, it’s been nearly impossible to escape the discourse around the 2026 US Open. Sure, there have been the Big Matches™ (our sleep schedules are still recovering from that showdown between Ben Shelton and Carlos “The Nipple” Alcaraz) and history-making moments (Coco Gauff said it best). But we’d be lying if we said the tennis was the main draw. Ever since the tournament started, the athletes have aced the on-court fashion game: Best Dressed naturally goes to Naomi Osaka and her “really swaggy” cloak (everyone say “thank you, Law Roach”). But we must also give trophies to Taylor Townsend’s commitment to fringe, Serena Williams’s humblebrag of a jacket, and Aryna Sabalenka’s somewhat concerning amount of bling (safe to say her “tactic” worked). Oh, and Gauff gets a celebratory Cheesecake Factory Cajun Salmon (correction: honorable mention) for making the most compelling case to date for a certain shade of yellow.

Of course, there’s also been everything happening courtside. Trinity Rodman and her boyfriend (take that, whoever made the on-screen graphic slammed round the world) cemented their status as the First Couple of Sports. Thanks in part to this statement-making tee (do you think she borrowed Alana Haim’s Cricut?), this itty-bitty action figure, this extremely relatable moment, and this Camp Rock reference. Not to mention the WAG in Chief’s dedication to seeing her man play (we’ll never complain about being tired again). But things in the stands haven’t all been so hunky-dory. Yes, we’re talking about the drama between longtime tennis fans and the influencer set — who, at best, have been more interested in downing $23 honey deuces and pretending to pay attention to the games. And at worst? Well, they’ve brandished ring lights, filmed TikTok dances, and talked loudly during matches. In fact, things have gotten so bad that even athletes have weighed in (thank you, Coco, for that Tennis Etiquette 101 Course) and Wimbledon announced it’ll be cracking down on influencers and their ring lights next year. Perhaps the influencers can just go to Nantucket instead?

Whether or not you know Stella Lefty by name, you’ve probably heard her hit song, “Boston.” If not, well, you likely know what it sounds like anyway — because it bears such a resemblance to Noah Kahan’s “Stick Season” that she gave him a last-minute writing credit. And somehow that’s not the rising country-pop star’s only “controversy”: Lefty (born Stella Lefkofsky, for those wondering) is the daughter of billionaire Groupon cofounder and Tempus AI CEO Eric Lefkofsky — a fact one X user memorably described as a “level of Nepo Baby that makes Gracie Abrams look like an orphan.” Plus, the 24-year-old is now facing even more accusations of, shall we say, unoriginality after internet sleuths started pointing out that several of her songs sound suspiciously similar to other artists’ (including one made famous by Hugh Jackman, of all people). All of which has resulted in an unfortunate (OK, kind of hilarious) nickname. Still, “Boston” has hit No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Lefty already sold out her first headlining tour. Fingers crossed Kahan makes a cameo at one of those shows — maybe they can work it out on the remix.

Got a few hundred thousand dollars to spare and a desire to make your ex regret ever hurting you? Good, because the most iconic LBD in fashion history is headed for auction. Anyone down to go halfsies (or thousandsies) with us?

TV’s biggest night is almost here. Tomorrow, the 78th Emmy Awards will air live on NBC, hosted by (dun dun) Detective Olivia Benson — sorry, Mariska Hargitay. While we’re very excited to see the first woman host the ceremony in 15 years (and whatever musical number she seems to have up her sleeve), Amy Poehler, Zendaya, Jon Hamm, Keke Palmer, and Sally Field are also set to present. Plus, Buffy stars Sarah Michelle Gellar and David Boreanaz will reportedly reunite onstage, as will first-run Charlie's Angels Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith, and Cheryl Ladd. Will The Pitt — which leads the night with 25 nods — dominate the drama category? Will double nominee Matthew Rhys win for both Widow’s Bay and The Beast in Me? And will Jean Smart take home her fifth Emmy for playing Deborah Vance? We’ll be watching at 8 pm ET.

Wait, is it normal to love pants this much?

Yes, when they’re Vuori’s Halo Essential Wideleg Pant. Made with their signature DreamKnit™ fabric (aka the world’s softest performance material), these ridiculously cozy bottoms are slim through the hip, easy through the leg, and feature a drawcord elastic waist that never digs in — plus slash pockets for your phone and keys. They feel like your favorite worn-in sweats, but are elevated enough that you won’t look like you just rolled off the couch (even if you did). Did we mention this fan-favorite style just dropped in a new color, too?*

"Nothing sends me into a meltdown faster than a hair tie that’s too loose with two loops and too tight with three"
