For an event exploring the intersection of technology, creativity and culture, Hunter's NIHL by Neil Grotzinger Spring 2027 look felt particularly fitting. With her upcoming television series Blade Runner 2099 being her latest project, the futuristic aesthetic also seemed especially relevant, even if this wasn't an official promotional appearance.
The neon-yellow hooded top, covered in intricate floral embellishments, has an almost otherworldly quality, while the contrasting printed skirt adds to the unconventional aesthetic. The combination of traditional decorative techniques and futuristic design makes this an interesting choice for the occasion.
By swapping the runway's chunky boots for lilac pumps, she gave the outfit a more feminine feel while keeping its unconventional appeal.

Princess Diana remains one of the most influential royal style figures decades after her death. From glamorous evening gowns to casual sweatshirts, her clothes attracted enormous attention and often carried meanings that went far beyond fashion. Few pieces illustrate that fascination better than her famous red Black Sheep sweater, featuring rows of white sheep and a single black one standing apart from the flock.
Diana first wore the Warm & Wonderful sweater in 1981, shortly after her engagement to Prince Charles. The playful design quickly attracted attention, particularly because the lone black sheep invited interpretations about Diana's own position within royal life. Those interpretations remain speculative, but there is clear evidence that she valued the garment. After the original sweater was damaged, Buckingham Palace contacted the designers seeking a repair or replacement. Diana later appeared publicly in the replacement.
Years later, the original sweater was rediscovered and offered at auction through Sotheby's in 2023. Before the sale, it carried an estimate of $50,000 to $80,000. Its significance came from more than Diana simply having worn it. The accompanying correspondence helped establish its history, while photographs of Diana wearing the distinctive design made it instantly recognizable to collectors and royal fashion enthusiasts.
The final result dramatically exceeded expectations. The sweater sold for $1.143 million, including fees, setting a record at the time for an item of clothing worn by Diana at auction. The price also demonstrated how dramatically demand for objects connected with the princess had grown. Other pieces from her wardrobe had already achieved impressive results, including a purple Victor Edelstein evening gown that sold for more than $600,000 earlier in 2023.
Diana's wardrobe continues to attract this level of interest because her clothing became closely connected with her public identity. Early in her royal life, she embraced romantic dresses and traditional silhouettes. Over time, her wardrobe became increasingly confident, incorporating streamlined tailoring, memorable eveningwear and relaxed casual pieces.

For her appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark, Roberts wore a stunning dress from Monse's Spring/Summer 2027 ready-to-wear collection. The dress featured a delicate ivory base decorated with oversized floral prints in muted pink, purple, and green tones. However, the romantic pattern wasn't the only detail that caught attention.
The dress featured a semi-transparent fabric that revealed the silhouette underneath, giving the otherwise feminine design a daring edge. The fitted silhouette hugged her figure before falling into a flowing midi-length skirt. The dress also had delicate spaghetti straps and an asymmetrical neckline, with a soft fabric detail draped over one shoulder.

Colin Jost and Scarlett Johansson appear to have one thing in common beyond their successful careers. The couple shares a thoughtful approach to gift-giving. In a new interview, the "Saturday Night Live" star opened up about why he enjoys finding meaningful presents and admitted that his wife is even better at it. Jost also reflected on the gifts they treasure most and how they spend the holiday season together as a family.
While promoting Kay Jewelers' new holiday campaign, Colin Jost spoke to People about the importance of giving meaningful gifts. The comedian said he enjoys putting thought into every present instead of choosing something at random.
"I don't like getting just a random thing if it doesn't feel meaningful," Jost said. He explained that he likes finding gifts that remind people of a special memory or moment in their lives.
However, Jost admitted that Scarlett Johansson has the upper hand when it comes to thoughtful presents. "She's an excellent, very thoughtful and generous gift giver," he said. "I think we're a good gifting match."
The comedian added that many of the best gifts they have ever received came from each other. He even joked that their children are the greatest gifts of all. Jost and Johansson share son Cosmo, while the actress is also mother to daughter Rose from her previous marriage to Romain Dauriac.

Meghan Markle is facing renewed scrutiny following reports that she is preparing to film in Australia. After the **** ss of Sussex and Prince Harry relocated to the UK at the end of August, reports of an upcoming work stint in Australia have led royal commentators to question how the family will manage the transition.
Meghan Markle is set to appear on Junior MasterChef Australia's upcoming season, which will film in Australia in 2027. However, it has not been confirmed whether Prince Harry, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet will be joining her. The Sussex children recently changed schools in the UK after their security team raised concerns about their previous commute. The possibility of another move has now prompted questions about how the family's arrangements could work during Meghan's filming commitment.
On The Sun's Royal Exclusive, the **** ss of Sussex was criticized for the possibility of relocating her kids again. "Career-wise for her, it's, you know, it's good news," host Sarah Hewson said. She continued, "What about for the kids who they've just brought over to the UK, got settled in a new school. Is that going to change anything or do we think the kids will be going?" The Sun's royal editor Matt Wilkinson shared his thoughts. "The children thing is a really interesting thing because we know that they've already changed schools once," he said.
Wilkinson added, "They said they were coming back to the UK for the children's schooling. So these are unanswered questions…" The royal editor was unsure whether it would be "an exceptionally long period for Meghan and Harry." He wondered if the Sussexes will take their kids to another school. "Is it going to be another um you know, traffic crisis outside of school in Sydney or Melbourne or something? But yeah, I would really like a little kind of welcome break…," Wilkinson said.
Hewson felt Harry could take the kids for a trip to Australia if it occurs during school days. "[They could] take the kids to go out and see mum while she's working," the royal correspondent explained.

A strong showing by Democrats in Texas swept Gina Hinojosa into office as the state's first Democratic governor since 1990 in a contest closely watched by Big Tech companies.
Texas is considered a bellwether for government restrictions on AI data centers and was just one place where deep voter unease over the build-out was on display. Voters across the country passed a series of local ballot measures aimed at restricting construction in the years ahead.
Hinojosa, Texas's first Latina governor, has pledged to impose a moratorium on data center construction in Texas, which accounts for more than 25% of planned US capacity by 2030.
"I want to say something to the powerful people who have gotten very comfortable running this state," she told supporters in her victory speech. "The voters have delivered a mandate for change, and it is change they will get."
Her victory was one of a series of wins for Democrats in Texas. The party is also on track to take control of the Texas House, which would give Hinojosa more power to follow through on restrictions even as the state Senate appears set to remain under Republican control.

Kim Kardashian knows how to make a statement with her fashion choices, and her latest appearance in Beverly Hills was no exception. The reality star and business mogul stepped out in an all-black ensemble that combined daring details with extravagant luxury. However, it was her exceptionally rare handbag that truly stole the spotlight.
Earlier reported by The Fashion Spot, Kardashian turned heads in a glossy black crocodile-effect jacket that featured a striking, structured silhouette. The fitted piece came with long sleeves, a dramatic collar, and a shiny textured finish that reflected the camera flashes.
The jacket was left partially unzipped at the front, creating a plunging neckline that added a daring touch to the sophisticated outfit.
The jacket also featured a cinched waist that emphasized Kardashian's figure, while its slightly flared hem gave it a more sculptural appearance. She paired the statement piece with opaque black tights.
Kardashian completed her ensemble with pointed-toe black stiletto heels featuring a glossy finish. She styled her signature long, jet-black hair straight with a center part, falling past her shoulders. She opted for her usual glamorous makeup, including defined eyes, sculpted cheeks, and a soft nude lip.

Sydney Sweeney is getting into the holiday spirit with the latest drop from her lingerie and loungewear brand, SYRN. The actor fronted the campaign for the label's new "All I Want Is Plaid" collection from the Holiday Shop, bringing festive charm to every frame. The playful campaign featured cozy Christmas sets and stacks of wrapped presents.
For the campaign, Sydney Sweeney slipped into SYRN's Snow Problem Flannel Cami and Shorts Set, priced at $69. The matching plaid set featured a flannel cami with two front panels tied together at the bust, creating a flirty cutout effect.
The fitted silhouette hugged her frame while the coordinating plaid micro shorts sat comfortably on the waist with a pull-on design. An embroidered SYRN logo at the shorts' hem added a subtle finishing touch.
She layered the festive look with white thigh-high stockings and completed it with lavender-blue platform heels. A soft pale blue faux-fur-trimmed cape draped over her shoulders, making the outfit feel even more holiday-ready.
The campaign showed Sweeney balancing wrapped presents and posing among snow-covered Christmas trees. She playfully tangled herself in colorful string lights before the reel ended with the SYRN logo appearing on a vintage television.

Jessica Chastain brought bold color and a playful silhouette to her latest New York City appearance. The actor stepped out in a striking micro minidress that put her legs in the spotlight, while her blonde bob added another noticeable detail to the look. Rather than relying on elaborate accessories, she let the dress's graphic print take centre stage.

For the outing, Jessica Chastain wore Emilio Pucci's Iride Print Cady Dress. The sleeveless design featured a square neckline, a fitted bodice, and a short wrap-style skirt that barely skimmed her thighs. Its hot pink, black, and brown geometric pattern featured sweeping diagonal stripes that gave the mini a bold, graphic finish.
An asymmetric panel crossed the front of the skirt, creating a layered effect and a subtle opening. The detail added dimension to the short silhouette without taking attention away from the vibrant print.

Dafne Keen says she was offered cocaine at wrap parties as a child. The actor was around 11 to 13 and says she refused. During a recent podcast appearance, Keen explained that seeing adults drink and use drugs helped her avoid both.
Dafne Keen, now 21, discussed her choices during an appearance on Michael Rosenbaum's Inside of You podcast. She told the host that she has "never been drunk enough to even have a hangover," describing herself as a "control freak" about drinking. Seeing that culture as a child made her wary of trying it herself.
When Rosenbaum asked about the drinking she had witnessed, Keen revealed that she was "getting offered ****** e at wrap parties." She said she turned it down, and joked that she was not getting involved at such a young age. Rosenbaum reacted with surprise at the idea of a child encountering drugs so early. "11 or 12? Man, I didn't start that early," he said.
Staying sober has not stopped Keen from enjoying nights out, she explained. She likes music, dancing and spending time with people, and said she can stay out until 6 a.m. without drinking or taking anything.
The actress described herself as a fun time and said she simply does not need substances to enjoy herself. As a teenager, she sometimes claimed she was already high to avoid pressure from others. In reality, she said, she would be drinking soda and pretending to be high.

Kate Middleton has reportedly had enough of the friction with Queen Camilla. While observers have long speculated that Prince William and Kate maintain reservations regarding Camilla's history within the family, the Prince and Princess of Wales have historically maintained a cordial public relationship with the Queen. A new report claims that dynamic has shifted, with Middleton reaching her limit as behind-the-scenes tensions escalate into an outright royal standoff.
Kate Middleton is reportedly gearing up for a fresh battle against Queen Camilla and appears unwilling to back down. Although Kate and Camilla stood together at a state banquet held in honour of the Sultan of Oman last week, it seems that things are not quite as they appear.
According to a latest report by Heat World, William and Kate have started increasing their public appearances and their willingness to be photographed. This is reportedly not going down well with Camilla, who is starting to feel the heat.
A source attached to the outlet revealed that the Queen is very nervous about what the future holds for her when William and Kate take over the crown. This has seemingly led to explosive tensions with King Charles, who has found himself stuck between his wife and son.
Camilla feels that William and Kate have been too eager to step in and take charge of the royal throne. The Queen Consort worries that they are looking to push her out. The source also claimed that Camilla believes Kate has deliberately excluded her from meetings, limiting her involvement in royal decisions.

A tiny blue dress has stolen the spotlight this Halloween. Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen's baby daughter stepped into Halloween "Alice in Wonderland" style, complete with a satin skirt and sparkling tulle. Her parents also built a full storybook world around her, from a rabbit-hole tunnel to towering playing cards for her first Halloween celebration.
The photos appeared on Beau Society's Instagram account with the caption "We're all mad here…" The post also thanked the event lead, the venue, and the florists, photographer, photobooth, and design team.
Amid the snapshots covering the party, it was the protagonist who stole the show. Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen's seven-month-old daughter, Harper Haize Allen, was dressed as a tiny Alice in her parents' wonderland.
The party's theme was "Allen's in Wonderland," a play on "Alice in Wonderland" by customizing it for the Allen family. Additional photos shared by Raven Moore, wife of Allen's teammate DJ Moore, showed an entrance shaped like a giant clock that led into a long black-and-white tunnel.
Inside, red flowers hung over a signpost pointing to "Wonderland," beside an oversized red-spotted mushroom. Marquee letters spelled out "We're all mad here." They were flanked by giant King and Queen of Hearts cards, resembling Steinfeld and Allen respectively. Checkered floors, oversized chess pieces and standing playing cards completed the scene.

Prince Harry and Prince William sent separate letters to congratulate the recipients of this year's Princess Diana Awards. The recipients were honored for making "positive change in their communities and beyond." This update comes a month after it was reported that King Charles could potentially bring the estranged brothers together. It would be for a major event related to their late mother.
According to PEOPLE, the royal brothers demonstrated a united front in honoring their late mother by sending separate messages to this year's Diana Award recipients. A total of 198 young leaders from 44 countries received letters from the Duke of Sussex and the Prince of Wales. Dr. Tessy Ojo CBE, chief executive of the Diana Award, celebrated the cohort in an official statement: "Their courage, compassion and determination to tackle some of the world's most pressing challenges are a powerful reminder that young people are the change makers of today."
She reflected on how these young people serve as a perfect example of how it doesn't matter what background or circumstances one comes from; the drive to make a difference remains universal. "They are building on Diana, Princess of Wales' legacy almost 30 years on," Ojo continued.
Last month, reports suggested that King Charles could help ease tensions between his sons through a 2027 thanksgiving service honoring Princess Diana. The proposed event would mark 30 years since her death. In the Daily Mail, columnist Ephraim Hardcastle reported that the King had apparently "raised no objection" to the service. Hardcastle also suggested that the religious event could help heal the brothers' rift, despite their apparent reluctance to work together. Another source reportedly described the service as an inspirational way to remember Diana, suggesting William could give a reading. The proposed service would be separate from the 2021 unveiling of Diana's statue at Kensington Palace, which was the brothers' last joint public engagement.

Mckenna Grace has been bringing some serious glamor to her latest press appearances. The actress stepped out in a striking gold ensemble while promoting "The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping" in Spain. Her appearance on the Spanish television show "La Revuelta" was all about making a statement. She wore a daring outfit that perfectly complemented the occasion, featuring a micro minidress with a slit and a cutout.
For the appearance, McKenna Grace wore a stunning Sau Lee Caspian Jacquard Print Dress that combined a body-hugging silhouette with several eye-catching details. The metallic gold micro minidress featured a textured jacquard finish. This shimmered under the studio lights, giving the outfit a luxurious appearance.
However, the most striking feature was the massive cutout across the chest. The dress featured a halter-style neckline that wrapped around her neck before opening into a dramatic asymmetrical cutout. A small slit along one side of the skirt added another playful detail. This allowed the minidress to reveal even more of her legs as she moved around the television set.
Grace paired the gold number with sheer black tights and glossy black pointed-toe heels. The darker accessories created a striking contrast against the shimmering fabric while keeping the attention on the dress. Her blonde hair was styled into a sleek, low ponytail with a neat side part. She completed the look with gold-toned statement earrings from Sonia Petroff, which complemented the metallic finish of the outfit.
The Sau Lee dress also seemed particularly fitting for her upcoming film. Its rich golden color and textured appearance subtly echoed the extravagant fashion **** ociated with the Capitol in "The Hunger Games" universe. While the outfit was not presented as a direct reference to the franchise, its dramatic silhouette felt appropriate for the dystopian world.

Prince William and Prince Harry have each paid a tribute to Princess Diana, though not side by side. Both brothers backed their late mother's charity with personal messages to the winners of The Diana Award, while also extending her legacy through the causes they champion. Their separate letters, however, say plenty about the ongoing feud between the two.
According to People, the Prince of Wales, 44, and the Duke of Sussex, 42, wrote congratulatory letters to the newest winners of The Diana Award. The letters, however, went out separately. Each of the 198 recipients, drawn from 44 countries, received one from each prince.
According to the charity, the winners were recognised for creating "positive change in their communities and beyond." Dr. Tessy Ojo CBE, the charity's chief executive, also praised the group. "These young people are proof that, whatever their background or circumstances, the desire to make a difference is universal," she said.
However, reports from Page Six suggest that the common gesture does not appear to signal a thaw. The brothers last appeared together at a public engagement in July 2021, when they unveiled a statue of Diana at Kensington Palace on what would have been her 60th birthday. Since then, they have seemed distant at Queen Elizabeth II's funeral and at a 2024 memorial service for their uncle.
While they are now in the same country again, they are not believed to be in contact. Harry has spoken about the rift. "I want it to work out. Of course I do," he said, while also admitting that reconciling is hard. The escalation of tensions can be traced to 2020, when Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down as senior working royals.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would reportedly be staying in the UK for Christmas. This follows reports that the couple could visit the US for the holidays. However, it now appears that the Sussexes would not be leaving the country and would instead spend time at another property on the estate owned by their billionaire friend.
According to USA Today, Prince Harry and Markle, along with their kids and the former's mother, Doria Ragland, would be spending their Christmas in their new home in the UK. Last month, a friend of the Sussexes said that they won't be celebrating Christmas with the Royal Family. Moreover, they also questioned how this arrangement was possible.
Another source told Page Six that no matter where Markle and Harry decide to stay for Christmas, Doria is confirmed to be a part of their plans. "There is a hierarchy and the King is the CEO, he's the boss — what he says go, so it's better not to put themselves in any difficult position," they added, referring to why it's better for the Sussexes to be snubbed from the Royal Family's celebration.
This update also comes amid a source having told Closer Online that Harry is seemingly unhappy about Markle's plans to head to the US for Christmas. "Harry's very disappointed. In his mind, they could have brought Doria to their Cotswolds home and perhaps still scored an invite to see his father or [his late mother's family] the Spencers as a back-up. But Meghan wasn't having any of it," they added.
The insider mentioned that Harry tried his best to convince his wife to stay in the UK, but she didn't want to sit around and wait for the royal invitation. "It was the perfect excuse to book a flight back to the U.S., and Harry ultimately didn't have much choice but to follow," they continued.

Vin Diesel wanted Judi Dench for The Chronicles of Riddick, so he sent flowers ahead of his visit to her London theater. In Dench's telling, the bouquet made it as far as the stage door. Staff couldn't carry it up the stairs to her dressing room.
Dench was appearing opposite Maggie Smith in David Hare's two-person play The Breath of Life at the Theatre Royal Haymarket. Diesel had flown to London to see them perform. The role he had in mind for Dench was Aereon, an ambassador who can glide through the air, in his 2004 sequel to Pitch Black.
She agreed to do the film without reading the script. In an interview published by The Spokesman-Review when the movie came out, Dench said she was still getting over the fact that he'd come all that way to ask her.
Now 91, Dench revisits the offer in Is It Too Late to Make a Run for It?, published in the U.S. on November 3 by St. Martin's Press. The book grew out of conversations with her friend Brendan O'Hea, who gives her a hard time about how readily she said yes.

Adam Driver wants to thank fans for supporting "The Hunt for Ben Solo," but the "Star Wars" actor thinks his days as Kylo Ren are over.
"It's over," Driver said on Wednesday. "No more 'Star Wars.' We tried."
The actor appeared on "The Rich Eisen Show" to talk about his upcoming film, "Paper Tiger," which premiered at Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. During the interview, Eisen asked if he planned on returning to the sci-fi/fantasy franchise, which prompted Driver to discuss "The Hunt for Ben Solo," a sequel to "The Rise of Skywalker" that he and Steven Soderbergh worked on that ultimately wasn't picked up by Disney.
"We tried to do one more, yeah, but they were like, 'No, he's dead,'" Driver said, referring to Ben Solo's demise in "Episode IX."
"Yeah, I know, but, I mean, these things, you can make anything up," Eisner responded. "I don't know if you're aware Darth Vader turned out to be somebody's father, you know? That came out of nowhere back in the day."

A $310,000 taxable gain from selling an S&P 500 fund pushes a single filer's MAGI to $390,000, triggering $6,355 in annual Medicare IRMAA surcharges two years later.
Selling all at once costs $13,575 in combined surcharges and investment taxes, which is cheaper than splitting the sale over two or three years due to compounding IRMAA brackets.
Rebalancing stocks to bonds inside a traditional or Roth IRA avoids MAGI impact entirely, since those trades never appear on Form 1040.

It wasn't immediately clear why stocks jumped on the results, though it appeared to be a combination of several factors. Investors were glad to see pushback on the Trump administration validated, including on inflation and the war in Iran. Investors tend to like a divided government, and with Democrats gaining solid control of both houses of Congress, they clearly have that. Finally, President Trump was surprisingly conciliatory, saying he would "absolutely accept the results of the election," and was willing to work with Democrats, which could pave the way to a productive Congressional term.
Among the winning sectors today was housing, which has languished over the last two years due to high mortgage rates and weak housing turnover. The State Street SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (NYSEMKT:XHB) closed up 5.4%, reaching its highest point in more than two months, while Home Depot (NYSE:HD) and Lowe's (NYSE:LOW), the two leading home improvement retailers, were up as well. Home Depot finished up 6.5%, and Lowe's jumped 7.5%.
