EVANSTON, Ill. — Against the window seal of David Braun's office conference room at Northwestern, a bronze statue of a man glares toward visitors.
An award Braun won in 2023, the miniature depiction of Bear Bryant, dressed in his trademark suit and a houndstooth hat, is fitting considering the program's upward trajectory and that his offense, under new coordinator Chip Kelly, is showing flashes of yesteryear: the Wing-T, Wishbone and option concepts that Bryant used to claim six national championships at Alabama more than four decades ago.
"You can call them dated. That's not fair," Braun says with a smile. "But creative!"
Life is good here in this northern Chicago suburb.
The 6-1 and 18th-ranked Wildcats are off to their best start since 2012; the fall foliage sweeps across this campus like a painter's brush; the university alignment and athletic investment is as its best since before the tumult around the clumsy handling of the end of the Pat Fitzgerald era; the program opened a more than $850 million new stadium earlier this season; and the offense is an entertaining throwback under one of the sport's most heralded gurus.

Emma Roberts gave her strapless Alex Perry sequin gown a Wild West twist with her choice of accessories. The "We're the Millers" actress attended the Clarins x F1 celebration on October 24. Her outfit brought a fresh perspective to eveningwear, blending high-octane red-carpet glamour with playful personality. Photos and videos of her look have since gone viral online.
Posing against a muted champagne backdrop at the Clarins x F1 party, Emma Roberts stood out in a sequin Alex Perry dress. Covered entirely in densely packed sequins, the garment caught the ambient light from every angle, reflecting deep chocolate-brown and warm copper tones with every movement.
The gown featured a clean, straight-across strapless neckline that highlighted her bare shoulders and arms. Further, the sculpted torso skimmed her figure before flowing into a long, floor-sweeping column skirt.
The rich bronze palette added unexpected depth and warmth that harmonized beautifully with her golden-blonde hair and glowing skin.
Roberts added a Western twist to the clean lines of her gown with a hard-shell from Judith Leiber. Known as the Cowboy Hat, Cheyenne featured the iconic shape of a Western cowboy hat and was fully encrusted with glittering champagne-gold crystals.

Hay bales, bunnies, and big smiles set the scene as Brittany and Patrick Mahomes' kids welcomed autumn, engaged in outdoor activities, farm fun, and festive surprises. The family photos featuring their three little ones capture sweet moments enjoyed by the children.
Brittany Mahomes took to Instagram to share a carousel of her family in a fall mood. Her caption was simple: "It's fall y'all," followed by a leaf emoji. The pictures point to the family enjoying the outdoors at a pumpkin patch with farm animals and autumn décor. The couple shares three kids: Sterling, 5, Bronze, 3, and Golden Raye, 1.
The family of five also visited Kansas City's Power and Light District, which is a "walkable neighborhood featuring world-class restaurants, modern living," and premier entertainment facilities, according to the district's Instagram page.
The opening photo of the carousel sets the tone for the outing. Patrick carries Sterling on his shoulders and holds Golden in one arm, while Bronze stands close by. Brittany smiles beside them in a Chiefs tee, sunglasses, and black rain boots.
Later frames show the quieter moments. Bronze and Golden hold hands on a hay bale in front of a wall of autumn leaves, with the name of the farm, "Johnson Farms," behind them. In other photos, Sterling grins while cradling a spotted rabbit, and at lunch, she hides behind a flatbread mask with eyeholes.

Sofia Vergara delivered one of her most elegant looks while attending Bulgari's latest dinner event. The Colombian actress later shared glimpses from the evening on Instagram, giving fans a closer look at her archival Roberto Cavalli ensemble. Vergara effortlessly turned heads in a plunging, string-strap moment, proving once again that vintage glamour can make the biggest impact.
For the outing, Sofia Vergara wore a Roberto Cavalli gown in a black and gold baroque floral print. The fitted design featured a plunging neckline held up by thin spaghetti straps. The bodice followed her figure before flaring into a ruffled mermaid hem.
The actress complemented the statement dress with Bulgari's Tubogas Clutch. Vergara carried the bag in black leather, though the design is also sold in a gold striated calf leather colorway, priced at €6,500. The iconic Tubogas handle, done in gold-plated brass, comes embellished with colored cabochon stones and zirconia across both versions.
Vergara layered in Bvugari's Serpenti Necklace, a two-coil design crafted in 18kt rose gold. The piece features 3.63 carats of pavé diamonds along the snake's head and tail, with black onyx eyes finishing the design. Made in Italy with a 40cm chain, the necklace retails for $90,000.
She also added a gold cuff bracelet to her wrist, layering in one more dose of shine alongside the Serpenti piece. Her glam stayed warm and glowing, featuring bronzed skin, softly sculpted cheeks, and a glossy nude lip. Vergara wore her dark brunette hair down in loose waves, letting it fall freely past her shoulders. The look was shared on Instagram, with the post crediting the vintage Roberto Cavalli gown alongside both Bulgari pieces by name.

Kim Kardashian is giving fans another glimpse into her latest fashion collaboration. The mogul shared a new video documenting a fitting for her upcoming capsule collection. Fans see her trying on pieces inside a dimly lit studio alongside the collection's designer. Naturally, the highlight was her strapless sequined minidress, a bold bronze-gold number that perfectly matched the shoot's moody, intimate mood.
In the clip, Kim Kardashian stands in a dressing room lined with clothing racks, trying on the finished look in real time. The post was captioned, "A collaboration built on shared language: the body as material."
For the fitting, Kardashian wore a strapless, sequined micro minidress in a warm bronze-gold tone. The fitted, bandage-style design featured horizontal ribbing that wrapped tightly around her torso. It boasted a sweetheart neckline, a mini-length hem, and an all-over metallic sheen. The dress highlighted her famous curves while fitting right into the collection's aesthetic.
Kardashian kept the rest of the look stripped back, skipping jewelry and accessories altogether. With nothing else competing for attention, the dress itself became the clear focal point of the clip. She wore her dark hair sleek and straight, leaving it loose to frame her face throughout the fitting. Her makeup stayed soft and natural, keeping the focus on the dress rather than a full glam beauty look. For Kardashian, it's a reminder that when it comes to this particular launch, the body truly is the material.
The strapless silhouette is free of accessories and distractions, allowing the dress's clinging shape to do all the talking. The clip comes as the capsule officially hits shelves, with the post confirming fans can now purchase the collection. With the capsule now live, the bronze-gold minidress offers an early preview of just how body-conscious the full collection is likely to run. The post offered fans a rawer, closer look at the collaboration than its earlier campaign imagery provided.

Jennifer Lopez caused quite the stir at Stella McCartney's Spring/Summer 2027 fashion show in Paris on Wednesday, after the event was hit with a bout of rain.
The 57-year-old looked incredible in a brown monochromatic look, featuring a skirt suit under a large faux-fur shawl, which she paired with a brown belt, pointed-toe heels, a large clutch and a delicate veil over her face.
Jennifer was shielded from the rain by a large black umbrella (@ Instagram/realsebastianamundsen)
Jennifer left her brown-blonde locks down in subtle waves, and wore bronzed makeup with a brown smoky eye and a dark lip.
When the entertainer arrived at the British Embassy in Paris for the fashion show, she waited until her security guard wiped her chair dry before sitting in the front row.

On Thursday, Oct. 1, Lady Gaga issued an apology to influencer Golloria after the creator criticized the singer's brand Haus Labs for its new bronzer's lack of shade diversity
"I don't know what or who you guys switched up in that lab, but switch it back," the influencer said in her video from May
In her statement, Gaga admitted the brand made "the wrong decision" and said that the product would "launch soon" with a wider shade range
Lady Gaga is apologizing to influencer Golloria four months after she called out the singer's brand Haus Labs for its new bronzer.
In May, Golloria made a video criticizing the upcoming product Sun Dipped Bronzing Veil, which was initially planed to launch with six shades. The influencer was disappointed upon swatching the three darkest shades on her face, explaining that she generally likes Haus Labs' complexion products. "I don't know what or who you guys switched up in that lab, but switch it back. Thank you," she said.

Coat season is here, and while autumn may have some reaching for their trench coats, Kylie Jenner just put her stamp of approval on another trending outerwear style: the car coat.
The it-girl approved staple has been having quite a moment. With its easy, light fit, mid-length design, and sleek silhouette, it makes for a totally versatile piece that goes well with just about anything. The style was born in the 1900s, and its name came as it was designed to allow easy movement for its wearer while driving or using transportation.
Now, decades later, the car coat has found its way to the hottest runways: Prada, Dries Van Noten, Lemaire, Meryll Rogge, and Tory Burch, to name a few. Even Burberry, best known for its polished khaki trenches, has reimagined the car coat with funky prints for the modern It girl (or It boy).
All this to say that Jenner's seemingly trivial outerwear choice—for her girls' night with Stas Karanikolaou at Sushi Park in Los Angeles—actually has a long and rich fashion history behind it. (Her sister Kendall Jenner is also a fan of the staple.)
The Khy founder styled her sharp beige car coat with a little white tee and straight-leg blue jeans in a light wash. For footwear, she traded her go-to thong sandals for a pair of strappy black heels. And to match, she carried a slouchy black leather tote. Rosy blush, paired with a bronze eye and lip, completed her effortless look.

Oscar Health (OSCR) raised its full-year earnings outlook while lowering its expected medical costs to cover benefits for its nearly 3 million Affordable Care Act exchange members. OSCR stock climbed in early Wednesday stock market action ahead of its 9 a.m. ET investor conference.
Oscar, which made an aggressive play to gain ACA market share, has seen enrollment surge 47% from a year ago as of June 30, even as overall enrollment has plunged due to the expiration of enhanced premium subsidies. As of now, it looks like the bet is paying off in a big way, with shares up 126% this year through Tuesday. But it's still a bit early to know, because Oscar's earnings depend not only on its own members' costs, but also those of other ACA insurers.
The ACA's No. 2 insurer by membership behind Centene (CNC) said that it now expects its medical loss ratio, or benefit costs as a share of premiums, to be in the 81% to 82% range, down from the prior outlook of 81.5% to 82.5%.
Oscar boosted its outlook for earnings from operations by $100 million at both ends to a range of $600 million to $800 million. The unchanged revenue outlook, between $18.7 billion and $19 billion, implies that no additional customer churn is expected.
Here is what investors should keep in mind. Compared to the overall ACA risk pool, Oscar's enrollment is relatively young, healthy and more likely to sign up for very-high-deductible bronze plans. Yet based on its relatively healthy risk pool, Oscar expects about 20% of its premiums will be paid out via risk adjustment to other carriers under ACA rules. That means results in the second half of this year depend to a large degree on the level of healthcare utilization by non-Oscar members. As of now, it's a bit early to tell, since healthcare spending tends to rise as the year progresses and insured members exhaust their deductibles.

Emily Blunt reunited with co-star Meryl Streep for an unforgettable high-fashion evening in New York City. Attending The Devil Wears Prada 2 Wardrobe Auction, the English actress commanded total attention on the red carpet. Captivating fashion lovers and photographers everywhere, she proved once again that classic black gowns can deliver maximum drama, movement, and modern playfulness.
For the high-profile charity auction, Blunt wore a striking runway piece straight from Christian Cowan's Spring/Summer 2027 collection. Her long-time stylist Jessica Paster curated the monochromatic look, which expertly balances modest coverage with daring sheer texture. The top portion of the dress features a sleek, form-fitting black turtleneck knit with snug long sleeves. Below the hips, the structured knit stops, giving way to sheer netting completely covered in cascading black fringe tassels.
The floor-length black fringe moved with every step, while crystal-embellished Dolce & Gabbana satin sandals added a subtle sparkle beneath the hem. The sandals' crystal straps were occasionally visible through the swinging fringe, complementing the otherwise monochromatic look.
Posing on the red carpet, Emily shared a warm moment with legendary co-star Meryl Streep. Emily wrapped one arm affectionately around Meryl's shoulder as both actresses smiled brightly for the camera line. Meryl looked equally chic in a patterned silk dress, creating an iconic reunion snapshot that delighted fans of the classic fashion film.
Emily's glam team kept her beauty routine polished and timeless to complement the dramatic dress. She wore her warm blonde hair pulled back into a neat, slicked-low bun. Her makeup featured radiant skin, soft bronzer, subtle winged eyeliner, and a glossy berry-pink lip. By contrasting a simple long-sleeved turtleneck with an ultra-fun fringe skirt, Emily Blunt executed high fashion with complete confidence.

Team USA opened the knockout round and made World Cup history. Yet, its job in Berlin remains unfinished.
The Americans are one of the last four teams standing with a ticket to Sunday's gold-medal game now on the line.
Team USA faces Spain in Saturday's World Cup semifinals (2 p.m. ET) for a chance to advance to one last game. France and Germany face off in the other semifinal (10:30 a.m. ET). The two winners will move on to the gold medal game, while the two losers will play for third place.
The United States has advanced to the gold-medal game in each of the last four World Cups, winning it all each time. The last time the U.S. failed to make the gold-medal game was in 2006, when it defeated Brazil for bronze.

Alex Fine, who plays Donnie, one of Kat McAllister's enforcers in MobLand, is confirmed to return for Season Two. He attended the world premiere in London with his wife, Cassie Ventura.

Alex wore Saint Laurent Fall 2026, taking the cropped cable-knit sweater from the runway and giving it a much cleaner spin with wide-leg black trousers. I've been enjoying the collection's striped pieces on the red carpet, but I like that Alex didn't recreate the runway styling. The all-black palette puts the focus on the proportions, which is what makes this work for me.
Cassie opted for a Magda Butrym wool corset dress, and this is easily my favourite part of their couple's style moment. The precise darting and padded hips create that exaggerated hourglass silhouette the designer does so well, and you know I love a well-executed exaggerated silhouette.
The dress is so good that the shoes frustrate me even more. The bronze pointed-toe pumps with criss-cross ankle straps feel disconnected from the modernity of the silhouette. A pewter strappy sandal or mule would have been a much stronger finish and allowed the dress to have the final word.

A Wyoming football player appears to have pushed at least one fan during a field storming at Canvas Stadium after Colorado State won the Border War on Sept. 5.
Various social media accounts posted videos showing Wyoming defensive lineman Jayden Williams pushing at least one person as CSU fans rushed the field after the Rams won to secure the Bronze Boot trophy.
Several posts on social media with videos showed Williams pushing a fan. Wyoming coach Jay Sawvel responded to the incident in his weekly press conference on Sept. 7, saying it has "been addressed."
"I've seen the Jayden video, been made aware of it. Made aware of it first, watched it. Watched it a couple different times. It's been addressed and will be addressed further in house. Obviously, we don't condone that from players to fans or anything from that standpoint. That will be something we address team wide, as well," Sawvel said, according to a report from Kaycee Clark-Mellott from KGWN TV.
"That's not the way we're going to operate," Sawvel said.

Jim Mora's first game as Colorado State football coach is in the books and it ended with a trophy.
The Bronze Boot sat atop the table next to Mora as he gave his postgame press conference following a 35-13 win over Wyoming on Sept. 5 at Canvas Stadium.
Here's a look at the highlights of what Mora said after the game.
"I saw five touchdowns, which was pretty nice. I'll tell you what the most impressive thing about Hauss was, was his composure, his poise and his command of the game. His command of the situations in the game, in terms of clockmanagement, down the stretch. His ball security, the way that his players, his teammates responded to him in the huddle ...
"This guy, it was his second start. The first snap he took was his 23rd play as a college football player and you would have never known it by how he performed tonight."

Amal Clooney infused her sartorial agenda with a dose of flapper-girl charm as she stepped out for an evening in Venice, Italy.
The international human rights lawyer was photographed exiting her private boat with her husband, George Clooney, on September 3. The 48-year-old looked incredible in an archival Prada mini dress adorned with turquoise fringed sequins and silver gems. The garment featured a strapless design with a bandeau neckline and a figure-hugging silhouette. The look was styled with silver pumps and a pair of matching diamond-encrusted drop earrings.
Amal's luscious brunette locks were left down in soft waves while her makeup oozed glam, courtesy of a bronze eye and a nude lip. Meanwhile, George looked suave in a navy suit layered over a simple black T-shirt.

We certainly had our fun with the small slate of games in Week 0, but now it's time for the real fun to begin in Week 1. Nearly every team in college football will receive their first opportunity to prove their worth this weekend, whether it be against a lower-tier opponent that they should demolish or a higher-caliber one that they can make a real statement by upsetting. Four of the teams in the Mountain West will be playing in their second game of the season, while the remaining six have their respective season openers. Let's take a look at these matchups, and what we should expect from the Mountain West in Week 1.
Date and Time: Friday, September 4, 2026, 3:30 p.m. PDT
Network: ESPN+
Spread: EMU -3
Preview: San Jose State was obliterated by USC in their Week 0 matchup, only ever looking competitive once the Trojans pulled their starters in the fourth quarter. Their biggest positive from that game was that their offense, which had a national-bronze 17 interceptions in 2025, did not turn the ball over once, which bodes well for them going forward. This is especially true heading into another road matchup against the Eastern Michigan Eagles, who managed to win their Week 0 opener against new MAC opponent Sacramento State.

Former world and Olympic champion Jonny Brownlee has retired at the age of 36.
The Briton won Olympic bronze at London 2012, silver at Rio 2016 and gold in the mixed relay at Tokyo 2020.
He is also a six‑time world champion and won mixed team relay gold at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
Brother Alistair, the double Olympic champion, retired at the age of 36 in 2024.
"I've been thinking about it for a while. I've won more than I ever thought I'd ever achieve," Jonny told BBC Sport.

The scene in Bilbao, in 2024, foreshadowed the change that would come. Michele Kang, the owner of OL Lyonnes, strode around the edge of the pitch in the San Mames to greet the travelling supporters of the women's football powerhouse, who were buoyed by her ambition and intent to invest. Barcelona won 2-0 to lift their third Women's Champions League **** le in four years, thanks to goals from their two Ballon d'Or winners Aitana Bonmati and Alexia Putellas. But while Kang, the South Korean-born American billionaire and philanthropist, vowed that Lyonnes would return stronger, her sphere of influence was also primed to have an impact elsewhere.
As well as the French champions, Kang owned two other teams as part of her multi-club Kynisca group, the US side Washington Spirit and the London City Lionesses, based out of Bromley and playing in the second tier of English women's football. Two years on, driven by Kang's vision and fuelled by her deep pockets, London City have secured promotion and undergone a remarkable makeover. From that Champions League final alone, they have signed not just Putellas, making the Spain international and World Cup winner the biggest overseas signing in Women's Super League history, but two of her Barcelona team-mates in Mapi Leon and Jana Fernandez. From sister club Lyonnes, London City have signed two of their starting forwards in Kadidiatou Diani and Delphine Cascarino, as well as midfielder Danielle van de Donk.
Michele Kang celebrates London City's promotion to the Women's Super League in 2025 (Getty)
Within two years, London City have disrupted women's football and have now set their sights on challenging for the WSL **** le. It has not come cheap: Putellas was a free transfer but is one of the highest-paid women's footballers in the world at around £1m per year. Before the new season, London City have also signed former England goalkeeper Mary Earps from Paris Saint-Germain and have built a team set on challenging **** nal and Chelsea's dominance in the capital. In terms of transfer fees within the WSL, only **** nal and Chelsea have come close to matching the £1m London City paid PSG for midfielder Grace Geyoro last summer. Their position is also a unique one. Of the 14 teams in this season's expanded WSL, London City are the only independent outfit with no affiliation to a men's club, yet their spending comfortably exceeds that of Manchester United and Liverpool, despite the riches that flow from the Premier League.
Kang is the driving force. The 67-year-old, who made her fortune through healthcare technology in the US, is an investor in the true sense of the word, believing in the untapped value and potential of women's sports. Her philanthropy has extended to making $30m and $4m donations to US Soccer and USA Rugby respectively, the latter just hours after watching the US women's rugby sevens team win bronze at the 2024 Paris Olympics. London City are likely to make a financial loss in their second season o

BERLIN (AP) — Opponents will be looking up to China during the women's FIBA World Cup, starting with the the United States.
The Americans and everyone else will have to navigate around and over some of the tallest women on the planet: China's 19-year-old Zhang Ziyu stands 7-foot-3. The U.S. team is already familiar with 6-10 Han Xu from her WNBA games with the New York Liberty.
If not for a passport mishap, Zhang and Han would be joined by another center — 6-7 Li Yueru, who plays with the WNBA's Dallas Wings. Li posted on social media Wednesday that her passport was lost in the mail and she won't be able to compete.
China opens its campaign against the four-time defending champion in Berlin on Friday.
Zhang wasn't playing when the U.S. beat China 83-61 in the 2022 World Cup final in Sydney for a fourth consecutive gold medal. She made her senior debut at the Women's Asia Cup last year and helped China capture the bronze, averaging 14.8 points and 5.5 rebounds in the tournament.

Amal Clooney's sartorial archives include many forgotten fashion gems. However, one particular look that slipped completely under the radar was the bombshell gold dress she wore to the official launch of Casamigos Tequila in Ibiza in 2015. It was the ultimate Bond Girl moment that has stylishly stood the test time – and **** O! are revisiting it 11 years later.
The international human rights lawyer graced the event in a gold Vionnet dress that boasted a metallic, chainmail sheen. The mini dress featured a plunging cowl neckline with a sleeveless design and subtle asymmetric hem. Amal styled the scene-stealing gown with a pair of black Dior pumps and a matching gold clutch. Her hair was styled into a voluminous blowout while her makeup oozed soft glam, courtesy of a bronze eye and a bold red lip.

George Clooney allowed his wife's look to command all the attention as he opted for a more casual approach to his outfit. The actor donned a white **** on-down shirt with a pair of wide-leg jeans.
Amal is no stranger to a glitterball dress. Who could forget the breathtaking Atelier Versace gown she wore to the British Fashion Awards back in 2023? The garment was adorned with cascading, sunset-hued sequins. These bronze embellishments started small at the top of the dress and increased in size as they went down the skirt. The sequins were stitched together by a net of crystal-embroidered string. The result was a shimmering, ombré effect that glistened in the light.

An old rivalry with a new twist.
Colorado State and Wyoming have been battling in football since the late 1800s, but the 2026 edition brings much change.
The Border War rivals have long shared the same conference, but have now split as CSU is in the new Pac-12 and Wyoming is still in the Mountain West.
It means a season-opening matchup on Sept. 5 at Canvas Stadium. Here's what to know about the history of the Border War and Bronze Boot:
Army Capt. Daniel J. Romero, a Pueblo native, wore the boot while serving in Vietnam. He offered up his boot upon returning home and being **** igned to the ROTC program at Colorado State University.

Owen Hargreaves, former Bayern Munich player and Englishman, says Harry Kane is the rightful winner for the Ballon d'Or but also named another player he wouldn't mind winning:
"There are a few contenders, but you can't say which one of them clearly stands out", Hargreaves started." (Christopher Michel as captured by X account iMiaSanMia). "Harry Kane played incredibly well for FC Bayern and, of course, won the league. His goalscoring record was simply unbelievable – the number of goals he scored. Of course, he also had a very, very good World Cup, a strong World Cup where he scored a lot of goals. England finished third in that tournament – I mean, who else could it be?
"I thought Rodri was outstanding" the 45-year-old added. "He won both cup ******* les with Manchester City (FA Cup and Carabao Cup). He won the World Cup and was probably the best player in the tournament. If I were to vote, it would come down to these two players."
Harry Kane came off a blistering season for club and country in the 2025/26 season. He helped Bayern Munich to a league and cup double and spearheaded England's run to a bronze medal in the 2026 World Cup. Rodri's trophy haul might look more appealing, but Kane could make a case for himself with the impact he has on Bayern and England.

Dolly Parton's final resting place has already been prepared, and the country icon will share a memorial with her beloved husband, Carl Dean.
Exclusive photos obtained by In Touch reveal Parton's bronze marker at Woodlawn Memorial Park in Nashville, Tennessee, showing her name already engraved on the couple's shared marker opposite Dean's. Her January 19, 1946, birth date is also engraved, and there's a ***** e left for the "Jolene" singer's date of death.

Dean's side bears his full name, Carl Thomas, along with his birth date, July 20, 1942, and the date of his death, March 3, 2025.
The marker also includes a nod to Parton and Dean's nearly 60-year marriage, with two intertwined wedding rings and their wedding date — May 30, 1966 — engraved in the center.

Tate McRae is putting her toned physique front and center in Calvin Klein's latest denim campaign. The 23-year-old singer and dancer stripped her look down to the essentials while posing for the brand's Fall 2026 "Feel the Fit" campaign, photographed by Carlijn Jacobs.
In one striking campaign shot, McRae reclines on a peach carpeted floor against a wall of mirrors. She wears a barely-there black bra with dark-wash Calvin Klein jeans. The low-slung denim sits beneath her belly ***** on, leaving her entire midriff exposed as she leans back against her reflection and poses barefoot.
McRae wore her long blonde hair loose and tousled around her shoulders, keeping the styling minimal and letting the denim and her abs command attention. Her makeup look features bronzed skin, rosy cheeks, and a glossy light pink lip.
The rest of the campaign features the "Sports Car" singer experimenting with several different ways to style Calvin Klein jeans. One image has McRae stretched across a black leather couch in a fitted cropped white T-shirt and roomy dark denim.
She goes barefoot once again, with warm lighting casting dramatic shadows across the frame. Another photo turns up the heat with McRae posing on her hands and knees in the same white baby tee. The denim dips dramatically at the back to reveal the Calvin Klein label.
