Chanel shoppers are known to be a discerning bunch, but artist Tom Sachs has created an unauthorized replica of the luxury house's sought-after Paris boutique in lower Manhattan.

Located in Sachs' studio at 245 Centre Street, the phony Chanel store has a sign with 31 Rue Cambon on its front door, and a black Chanel-esque ensemble in one street-front window and a red one in the other. During a pass-by Monday night, the studio's security grates were down and a sign on the front door read, "NOTICE BY ENTERING YOU ARE TO BE RECORDED."

Media requests to Sachs were unreturned.

Although Sachs' outpost has a sign with what looks like a handwritten version of Chanel's proprietary interlocked "CC" monogram, the designer label has not been involved in the project in any way. A Chanel spokesperson said Thursday, "Chanel is not involved in this project, and we did not participate in its conception or development. This is not part of the cultural [programs] that Chanel supports around the world and has no affiliation with Chanel."

Scheduled to open Friday and to run through Oct. 10, Sachs' store will have highly limited access — with hours set for 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays, and 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays. The artist's body of work includes jabs at consumerism, materialism, logomania and high-low dressing. His Centre Street studio's new faux Chanel outpost is prismatic in a few ways, including the fact that his ****** e is a short walk to Canal Street where counterfeit goods are sold in abundance.

Sachs' faux boutique coincides with the $20 billion Chanel's accelerating growth and shoppers' fervor for fashion artistic director Matthieu Blazy's designs. Chanel hauls have gone viral, thanks to influencers like Elle Ferguson, who posted in March about traveling 30 hours to get the other Chanel bag of the season — the maxi flap bag in shearling. (She already had scored the mini rectangular bag in gold.) TikTokers like Mikayla Nogueira are sharing their much-coveted loot too with followers.

Asked about the potential impact of Sachs' project on Chanel, Luca Solca, global luxury goods ****** yst at Bernstein, said Thursday, "Imitation is the best form of flattery. This seems to confirm how powerful Chanel has grown into our collective perception."

The New York-based Sachs focuses on recreating modern icons with everyday objects like plywood, including Le Corbusier's 1952 Unite d'Habitation with foam core and a glue gun or variations of NASA's ****** ecraft like the Lunar Module. His unyielding tongue-in-cheek career narrative touches on craftsmanship, luxury and nihilism.
In 1998, his notoriety or fame rose with the creation of a Chanel-type guillotine. Along with Chanel, Sachs has also taken aim at Hermès with his art projects including his 2006 Tiffany Value Meal — a riff on McDonalds' "Happy Meal" in Tiffany & Co's signature blue with what appeared to be the company's logo. The New Yorker also dreamed up a Prada toilet and a

Katie Holmes and artist Jason Bard Yarmosky have taken their increasingly public romance to Lake Como, sharing a collection of affectionate photographs from an Italian getaway.
Yarmosky posted a vacation carousel Sept. 6 showing the couple sightseeing, swimming and relaxing together on the water. Holmes appeared in a white bikini while sunbathing on a speedboat and later joined him for a photograph in coordinating black outfits.
The vacation arrived five days after Holmes publicly celebrated Yarmosky's birthday with an Instagram post featuring the artist. She called him "the best of the best" alongside a candid photograph of the pair laughing with their heads together.
The two were first linked in July and have since attended several events as a couple. The Lake Como photographs mark their most personal public look yet at the relationship, and Holmes followed Yarmosky's boat pictures with another vacation carousel of her own the next day.
Yarmosky captioned his vacation carousel, "Life is a friend of art." The collection included views across Lake Como as the couple spent time on a speedboat and in the water.

The 1991 blockbuster sequel Terminator 2: Judgment Day gave Edward Furlong many happy memories. The corresponding fame, not so much.
"Growing up in the spotlight is really hard," Furlong told People in a recent interview. "It's tough enough as an adult to be able to navigate… just being a human being and making mistakes, and whatever, when you got a spotlight on you … it's tough."
Furlong was 13 when he filmed his screen debut in Terminator 2, playing John Connor, son of Linda Hamilton's Sarah Connor. The actor, now 49, told People that he was "spoiled rotten" to be working with a director as commanding as James Cameron, that costar Arnold Schwarzenegger was "the definition of professional," and that Hamilton made Furlong "that much better being able to act alongside her."
After other screen roles in films including 1992's Pet Sematary Two , 1993's A Home of Our Own, and 1998's American History X, however, Furlong's acting career got sidelined amid substance use and personal troubles.

Sometimes the internet reaches more than a decade into the past and pulls out a perfect reaction meme for the present.
That's what happened with an old red carpet clip of actress Zendaya smiling and laughing at the 2011 premiere of Justin Bieber's concert documentary film Never Say Never, which suddenly resurfaced in 2026 as a widely used reaction GIF and video.
Known as the "Zendaya Laughing" meme, the clip is typically used to represent carefree happiness, awkwardly laughing something off or finding humor in a stressful situation. The footage has also inspired green-screen edits, caption memes and more elaborate variations across X / Twitter and other sites.
So, where did the clip originally come from, and why did it suddenly become a meme 15 years later? Here's what you need to know.
The footage comes from the February 8th, 2011, premiere of the movie Justin Bieber: Never Say Never. Zendaya, who was still early in her career at the time, was filmed posing for photographers on the red carpet while smiling and laughing.

During the video, a cop appeared to say York told him that he was "a real estate guy."

Tom Holland and Zendaya are in the public eye a lot, and oftentimes they are at carpets and events together. This year, they had a whopping two press tours to complete, with both starring in the two biggest movies of the year so far: Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey. Because of this, we sometimes do get tidbits of information about Tom and Zendaya's relationship, but it's not because they are often openly talking about one another.
A short time before the cat was officially out of the bag regarding Zendaya's nuptials to the Spider-man star, she was asked to comment on whether not she was married yet. She was wearing a gold band on her ring finger, so Elle's question didn't feel too pushy. Still, her answer was a polished "no" coupled with a second comment that helps us to understand why she doesn't talk about Tom so often.
No, I'm not going to do that. They're always searching for something.

On Friday, August 21, the retired professional boxer, 50, took to Instagram to share a photo of the two-time Golden Globe-nominated actress on what would have been her 37th birthday and paid tribute to her with a lengthy caption.

"I want to thank all of Hayden's fans, friends, and everyone who has reached out for the incredible outpouring of love and support."

There might not be a more athletic couple in American sports than Trinity Rodman and Ben Shelton. The Washington Spirit and USWNT star and the two-time reigning Canadian Open men's tennis champion have been together since early 2025 and are regularly seen supporting each other in action.
This week, Rodman appeared on Kylie Kelce's "Not Gonna Lie" podcast, where she revealed that her and Shelton's love story has a typically modern beginning. The two met online, with the 24-year-old Rodman making the first move.
"Everything I do is just embarrassing. I'm really embarrassed," a laughing Rodman told Kelce. "I said 'You're sick, fire emoji…It worked. He responded within 10 minutes, so I win."
"Our schedules were just so crazy, that we DM'd and we're just catching up," she continued. "He responded and was like 'Yeah, you were sick at the Olympics too, haha.' He matched the cringe situation and then one week later, we met in person."
Their first in-person meeting didn't occur at a coffee shop or restaurant or any of your customary locations. Instead, the 23-year-old Shelton "flew out" to spend the weekend with Rodman at her house.
