Daisy Edgar-Jones and Esmé Creed-Miles brought decades of romantic runway style together on Wednesday night for the Los Angeles premiere of "Sense and Sensibility" at The United Theater.
Daisy Edgar-Jones
For her look, Edgar-Jones turned to the popular '90s and early aughts runway trend embraced by several celebrities in 2026. The "Normal People" breakout star wore a look from Chloé's spring 1999 collection. Designed by then-creative director Stella McCartney, the dress captured the romantic sensibilities of "Sense and Sensibility" author Jane Austen's world.

The romance between the pair first captured public attention when D Magazine reported last year that they were spotted taking hot yoga classes together in Dallas. At the time, Howard was going through a divorce from her ex-husband, Frank Howard Jr., whom she filed to split from in July 2024. Howard shares two daughters with her ex and previously worked as the director of communications for his company, GeneIQ, a molecular diagnostic laboratory.

Birthday weekends rarely look this magical, and Kate Hudson can agree on that. The actress has shared a photo carousel of her daughter's birthday from a theme park celebration, and the smiles are impossible to miss. Wands at the ready, robes swishing, and a birthday cake waiting back home, the day had it all.
Mom to three kids, Kate Hudson celebrated her daughter's birthday with a weekend outing at the Universal Studios theme park. She posted a carousel on Instagram with a short caption. She wrote, "Best weekend celebrating the best girl!!! Thank you unistudios for the 'best ride ever!'"
Birthday girl, Rani Rose, made the most of every stop, grinning happily at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. In one short clip, the 8-year-old stood in a dimly lit shop with a wand in her hand. In a recreation of the wand scene in the "Harry Potter" movies, Rani's hair glowed in the spotlight when she got her wand.
Another photo showed Rani with her friend in matching Gryffindor robes with maroon and gold lining and striped headbands. Both pointed their wands straight at the camera, grinning. Elsewhere, a Hogwarts street sign towered over a cobbled square, with Rani posing underneath.
The day was not all spells. Hudson's carousel also showed kids posing outside Super Nintendo World. A wide shot captured the Mario-themed plaza under a bright blue sky. A group selfie from a wooden ride car showed Hudson with her daughter beaming behind the camera.

More than eight months after former Nickelodeon actress Kianna Underwood was killed, the NYPD have made an arrest in connection to her death.
Police arrested Michael Griffiths, 72, of Brooklyn on Tuesday morning (Sept. 29) and charged him with leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death and leaving the scene of an accident with injury. He was arraigned later that day, pleaded not guilty, and was released on his own recognizance. Griffiths is due back in court on October 27.

A black-and-gray sedan then hit her and allegedly dragged her roughly two blocks. She was found near Osborn Street and Pitkin Avenue and ****** ounced dead at the scene.

Justin and Hailey Bieber's toddler son, Jack Blues, made a cameo in his father's pictures from the family's recent outing at a zoo. On October 3, the Canadian musician took to his official Instagram page to share a glimpse into his family life with his fans. This included pictures from his roaring-good adventures with his son.
Justin Bieber posted a new carousel of photos, bringing fans along for his adventures with son Jack Blues and their furry friends at the zoo. The cover photo captured Jack holding his dad's hand while they hung out with kangaroos. The Company crooner fed a baby kangaroo out of the palm of his other hand.
Bieber wore an off-white tee and white shorts, paired with a camouflage bucket hat and sporty sunglasses. Meanwhile, his son sported a ribbed white tank top and green shorts. The 12th slide showed Hailey Bieber holding her son in her arms as they fed a leaf to a giraffe. The Rhode founder wore a red baseball hat with her loose hair falling down her back. He captioned the photo dump with a single lip emoji.
In September, the 32-year-old shared adorable father-son moments on Instagram as the little one held onto his father's hand. He was wearing a green hoodie with relaxed trousers, while Jack Blues was dressed in a blue tee, denim, and a cerulean blue hat. In the caption, there was a single red heart.
The couple celebrated their son's second birthday on August 22. To celebrate the milestone, the runway star shared a carousel of photos featuring many sweet moments from the life of the family of three. She also included a clip of Jack Blues playing golf. He was wearing graphic-printed trousers and a matching full-sleeved tee as he swung the little golf club.

Tiffany Trump's toddler son Alexander is adorable in new photos with his mom. The youngest daughter of President Donald Trump took to Instagram on October 1 to share a carousel of photos to mark the end of September. It included a few pictures from her recent trip to India and snaps from the state dinner at the White House.
Tiffany Trump flaunted a full-glam look in the cover photo of her carousel. She wore a fluffy white robe as she smiled at the camera, with her long blonde hair styled in loose waves. The second slide captured her standing in Central Park holding her toddler son, Alexander, in her arms. She wore a dark brown leather jacket, jeans, and brown suede buckle boots. Meanwhile, Alexander was dressed casually in a white shirt, light pants, and white slip-on shoes.
In another picture, Alexander stood cheerfully in front of a custom-built, light-blue playhouse labeled with his name above the door. The little boy wore a light-blue striped polo, white shorts, and navy shoes, raising both hands with a big smile. The house featured a dark blue front door, white trim, small shutters, and flower boxes filled with blue hydrangeas.
The 32-year-old also shared a cute snap of the toddler running indoors wearing only a diaper and her father's necktie draped loosely around his neck. The black-and-white picture captured the 16-month-old mid-run with a big grin on his face.
Additionally, the dump included a family portrait of Tiffany Trump, Michael Boulos, and their son, Alexander. It was from their trip to Mumbai, where they attended the Ambani family's lavish Ganesh Chaturthi celebration. In the picture, the couple was all smiles, with the toddler sitting in his father's lap. The little boy wore a bright red top and white pants, while his mother wore a beautiful lehenga.

Katie Holmes is embracing a more natural look with an ultra-chic, fresh-faced appearance during a high-profile night out at Paris Fashion Week.
Stepping out alongside her boyfriend, artist Jason Bard Yarmosky, the 47-year-old actress turned heads by ditching heavy glamour in favor of an effortless, makeup-free glow. Her romantic-looking appearance in the French capital proves once again that her signature minimalist style reigns supreme on the global stage.
According to Marie Claire, Holmes brought her "Mansur Gavriel tote to Paris Fashion Week. There, the bucket-style sling became the pop of color against her black blazer, shade-matched stilettos, and white, feather-trimmed skirt from the London label Tove."

Camila Morrone and Cole Bennett stepped out together in New York City for another casual date night more than two years after they were first linked.
The actress and music video director were photographed after dinner and during a stroll through Manhattan on October 2. Morrone wore a black camisole with loose green utility pants and black ballet flats, while Bennett paired a muted teal long-sleeve shirt with light-wash jeans and brown work boots.
PEOPLE published photographs from the outing. Their latest night out comes after a more summery appearance together in July, when Morrone and Bennett traveled to Porto Ercole, Italy.
The two have gradually become more open about their relationship since first being linked in New York in 2024, including through social-media posts and Bennett's public support for Morrone's acting work.
The October photographs captured Morrone and Bennett away from a red carpet, dressed for a straightforward dinner and walk. A few months earlier, the setting was considerably warmer.

A pair of New York City newlyweds were in the middle of their wedding portraits when their photo shoot suddenly picked up an unexpected guest, Mariska Hargitay, still dressed as Capt. Olivia Benson.
The Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star was filming nearby on October 1 when she spotted the unidentified bride and groom outside the New York County Supreme Court in Manhattan. Hargitay stepped away from the set and ran toward the couple before joining them for several photographs.
Photographer José Pérez captured her approach on video and shared the encounter on Instagram later that day. PEOPLE reported that Hargitay slipped into the portrait session while the couple was still facing the camera, smiling beside them and enthusiastically pointing toward the newlyweds.
Hargitay was wearing Benson's wardrobe while SVU films its upcoming 28th season, giving the couple a wedding photograph with the show's longtime captain less than a week before the series returns to NBC.
Pérez's footage shows Hargitay running up behind the couple while they continue posing, apparently unaware that she is about to enter the frame.

In December 2025, about a month before the U.S. invaded Venezuela and captured its president, Nicolás Maduro, President Trump had a secret meeting with Elon Musk, Time magazine reports. This was roughly seven months after Musk left his role in the Trump administration at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
During this meeting, Trump "spent hours" talking to Musk's Grok chatbot, including asking how Venezuelans would respond to the capture of their president, a source told Time. Just a few months earlier, in September, Trump began ordering U.S. military strikes against Venezuelan boats that Trump alleged were involved in drug trafficking.
People had apparently been turning to Grok asking about the boat strikes and political climate in Venezuela, as The Atlantic reported at the time. So Grok told Trump that Maduro was a "deeply unpopular dictator and that many Venezuelans would likely celebrate his downfall," Time reported.
When such celebrations indeed happened after the U.S. invaded on January 3, Trump apparently "came away thinking Grok was ingenious," that source told Time.
So perhaps it should come as no surprise that in June of this year, the Pentagon's head of AI said that the military used Grok Gov to deploy and strike targets during the Iran War.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Renee Good's family sued the U.S. government and the architects of President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown on Thursday, saying "the time is absolutely now for accountability" after her killing in January by a federal agent in Minneapolis.
Good's partner, Becca Good, and brother, Brent Ganger, accused the government and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who shot into her SUV and killed her, Jonathan Ross, of unjustified and excessive use of force.
The Jan. 7 shooting, captured on bystander video, was "the predictable and intended product" of the Trump administration's crackdown on Somali and other immigrants in Minnesota, an exercise that officials dubbed Operation Metro Surge, the lawsuit said.
"She was the love of my life," Becca Good said at a news conference announcing the lawsuits. "I'm here today because last January, the whole world had to watch as our entire universe was destroyed — as the sunshine who was my amazing Renee was robbed from us, from her children, and from her community."
The killings of Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, and another U.S. citizen, Alex Pretti, in Minneapolis just weeks later sparked outrage across the country and calls to rein in immigration enforcement. At least 10 people have died in encounters with immigration officers during Trump's second term.

Barron Trump is stepping into his own style, and his latest look is a striking departure from the polished image he's long shared with dad Donald Trump.
The youngest child of the President of the United States might be trying to carve out his own identity in his father's town, Washington, D.C. Barron, 20, is currently a junior at New York University's satellite campus, so it makes sense for him to play with his sense of style. In recent snapshots published by ***** o!, Barron has ditched the slicked-back hair for a more casual 'do.

The artfully tousled hair was paired with a noticeably dressed-down look too. Instead of the tailored suits he wears to his father's events, he went with a business casual outfit: khakis, a white Ralph Lauren polo shirt, and a black backpack. It's rare to see the president's son captured by paparazzi outside of official White House functions.

Rocket Lab (RKLB) has gained 9.5% over the last five trading days, while the S&P 500 added 0.6%. A week like that pulls money in. The stock is still about 55% below its 52-week high. The run is not the question. What matters for your money is what this stock does to your portfolio when the market moves, because it travels about four times as far as the index in both directions.
On days the S&P 500 rose over the past year, Rocket Lab captured about 381% of the gain. On days the index fell, it absorbed about 403% of the loss. The down days take slightly more than the up days give.
That is leverage on the market rather than a cushion. Over the past five years Rocket Lab ran 79.2% annualized volatility against 17.2% for the S&P 500, and its daily moves tracked the index at a correlation of 0.46 over those five years.
A moderate correlation and a swing that size sit together. Correlation asks whether the stock and the index move the same way, not how far. A good part of what Rocket Lab does is its own.
Look at what you own. Rocket Lab booked a record $234 million of revenue in Q2 2026, up 62% from the same quarter a year earlier, and it has just flown its 16th Electron mission of 2026.

Bitget has published its August 2026 Proof of Reserves report, marking the 45th consecutive monthly disclosure since the program began in December 2022, with a total reserve ratio of 122% for the month. Separately, Bitget's August 2026 Protection Fund valuation report recorded an average monthly value of $382 million, backed by 5,500 BTC held as a separate protection reserve.
Bitget publishes both monthly Proof of Reserves and monthly Protection Fund valuation reports — two separate disclosures providing visibility into different parts of the platform's **** et-protection framework. The August PoR reserve ratio of 122% means Bitget's reported reserves for tracked **** ets exceeded the corresponding user balances included in the snapshot. A full per-asset breakdown is available on Bitget's Proof of Reserves page.
A reserve ratio above 100% reflects the position captured in a particular reporting snapshot and should not be interpreted as a financial audit or a guarantee of future solvency.
The Protection Fund's August valuation ranged from approximately $345.3 million on Aug 1, 2026 to $441.5 million on Aug 27, 2026, with an average monthly valuation of $382 million. Its dollar value fluctuates with Bitcoin's market price because the fund is backed by 5,500 BTC. Bitget established the fund in 2022 with an initial $300 million commitment, and its valuation remained above that level throughout August.

It was a night of devastation in Chatsworth that began with a deadly Metro bus collision and ended with the fiery crash of an NBC4 helicopter covering the news that left two journalists and, on the ground, a bystander dead.
Tuesday's scene was a mixture of confusion and chaos, with first responders fanned out across two catastrophes and television news teams desperately trying to find out whether their journalists were safe. The crashes claimed the lives of five people and left others with various degrees of injury.
Investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration were trying Wednesday to determine exactly what caused the news helicopter, a Eurocopter AS350 B2, to go down.
NTSB Investigator Fabian Salazar said officials are searching through the wreckage, combing through maintenance logbooks, security footage, weather reports and witness interviews, and reviewing the pilot's training to figure out what went wrong.
But the most critical information so far has been audio captured from the helicopter during a live broadcast of reporter Eliana Moreno and pilot George Marciniw's final moments before it crashed.

Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:LLY) says its newly launched oral obesity drug Foundayo has captured more than 30% of new U.S. patients starting oral weight-loss medicines, a notable early gain against Novo Nordisk's Wegovy pill. Reuters reports that Wegovy initially held roughly 90% of the oral market, making Lilly's rapid share capture an important sign that the oral GLP-1 market is becoming a two-player competition rather than a Novo-dominated segment. The broader U.S. obesity-drug market is expected to exceed $100 billion annually by 2030, with oral treatments potentially accounting for more than one-third of GLP-1 use.
The timing is strategically important for Lilly because Foundayo was only launched in the U.S. in April 2026. The drug starts at $149 per month for self-pay patients and can cost as little as $25 for eligible commercially insured patients, while Medicare beneficiaries can access it through the GLP-1 Bridge program at $50 per month. Lilly's SEC filing says Mounjaro and Zepbound already represented 65% of its revenue in the first six months of 2026, highlighting both the importance of the incretin franchise and the opportunity for Foundayo to broaden Lilly's cardiometabolic revenue base.
The strongest bullish implication is that Foundayo appears to be overcoming the biggest behavioral barrier in obesity treatment: patients' preference for an oral medicine over an injection. Capturing more than 30% of new oral patients only months after launch suggests Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:LLY) is establishing meaningful competitive positioning before the oral GLP-1 market fully scales. Foundayo's formulation also has a practical advantage because it can be taken at any time of day without food or water restrictions, while Lilly's clinical data showed an average 27.3-pound, or 12.4%, weight reduction at the highest dose among patients who remained on treatment in ATTAIN-1.
The commercial opportunity could become considerably larger if Foundayo gains indications beyond obesity. Lilly reported that in the ACHIEVE-3 trial, Foundayo produced a 57.1% greater relative reduction in A1C and a 73.6% greater relative reduction in body weight compared with oral semaglutide 14 mg. Lilly submitted Foundayo for type 2 diabetes in the U.S., EU, and **** an, potentially expanding the addressable market beyond weight management.
The early oral-market traction also complements Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:LLY)'s existing injectable franchise rather than simply cannibalizing it. A Lilly trial found that patients switching from maximum-tolerated Wegovy to Foundayo maintained all but 0.9 kg of their previous weight loss after one year, while patients switching from maximum-dose Zepbound to Foundayo maintained all but 5.0 kg. That suggests Foundayo could serve as a maintenance or lower-burden treatment within Lilly's broader obesity portfolio, increasing lifetime value per patient rather than limiting the opportunity to new prescriptions.

International Business Machines (IBM) has risen 6.0% over the last five trading days while the S&P 500 fell 1.3%. A run like that in a weak market pulls money in, but the five-day move is not the question worth answering. What matters is what IBM does to your money when the market moves. Most of what IBM does has little to do with the market.
On days the S&P 500 rose over the past year, IBM captured about 83% of the gain. On days the index fell, IBM took about 102% of the loss. That is a one-year reading of daily moves. For investors evaluating a recent breakout, an asymmetric downside capture ratio warrants closer inspection.
IBM is not a quiet stock. Over the past five years it ran 30.3% annualized volatility against 17.2% for the S&P 500. Its daily moves have tracked the index with a correlation of only 0.36 across those five years, so most of that movement is IBM's own. Independence like that comes from what IBM sells, and when its customers buy.
Software is nearly 45% of IBM's revenue, and about 80% of that software revenue is recurring, coming from subscription and consumption products like Red Hat, HashiCorp and Confluent. The other 20% is transactional. Large clients buy the mainframe and its software stack on enterprise license agreements, generally treated as capital spending.
That last 20% is what slipped in the second quarter of 2026. Management says many clients redirected spending toward servers, storage and memory to secure supply-constrained infrastructure ahead of expected price increases. Tens of large deals did not close on time, and transaction processing revenue fell 9% while data grew 18%.

On the surface, Oracle (NYSE: ORCL) is the type of company you would expect to benefit tremendously from the generative artificial intelligence (AI) boom. It provides the computing power and data storage vital for running and training these complex algorithms. But while its stock captured some gains early in the AI era, it has more recently lagged behind other AI infrastructure stocks.
Oracle's shares are up by a relatively modest 69% over the last five years, well behind chipmakers such as Nvidia and Micron Technology, which have soared by 885% and 1,212%, respectively, in the same time frame. Let's discuss the pros and cons of Oracle, and attempt to predict what a $1,000 position could be worth by the end of the decade.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Like the leadership teams at many tech giants, Oracle's management recognized the long-term potential of the generative AI boom fairly early in the trend. They quickly moved to position the company on the pick-and-shovel side of the opportunity, providing cloud services and data center capacity to companies that were working to create and market consumer-facing large language models (LLMs). That push into the cloud infrastructure segment was underpinned by a substantial reorganization of Oracle's corporate structure.
This year, the company has already laid off 21,000 employees. That number is expected to rise with a $700 million addition to its restructuring plan (which is now worth $2.8 billion); much of the new spending is earmarked for severance payments and other exit expenses.

Taylor Swift appeared to tell ESPN cameras to stop showing her during the Kansas City Chiefs' season opener after husband Travis Kelce made a huge play against the Denver Broncos.
Chiefs cruise past the Broncos 31-10 on Monday Night Football.
Swift was back at Arrowhead to support Kelce in what was her first official NFL game since marrying the Chiefs star. She watched from a VIP suite alongside her parents and the Kelce family and was also captured with Tom Cruise.
The singer has become a regular feature of NFL broadcasts since beginning her relationship with Kelce, with cameras frequently cutting to her during Chiefs games. This time, however, a viral moment suggested she may have wanted the attention elsewhere.

Soft, white feather-like appliqués line the entire neckline and shoulders, adding rich texture and movement to the structured bodice. A tight, sculpted waist hugging her figure gives way to a sleek ankle-length skirt with a sharp thigh-high side slit that reveals her legs as she moves.
She contrasted the light cream gown with classic black pointed-toe pumps that grounded the soft color palette. Nicole accessorized her high-fashion look with statement diamond jewelry that caught the studio lighting. As captured in a viral studio video shared on an Instagram post, she showed off multiple large diamond rings across her fingers along with matching drop earrings. A slim black watch on her left wrist added a touch of modern sophistication.

On September 10, Copart (NASDAQ:CPRT) held its fourth-quarter earnings call and used it to unveil a deal that could reshape its business: an all-cash agreement to acquire ACV, a digital auto marketplace that moved roughly $10 billion of vehicles last year without owning a single lot. The announcement landed alongside a quarter that captured the company's central tension. Revenue rose, but net income fell, and management is now betting that pairing its junkyards with someone else's software can fix that.
The ACV deal is the headline, and for good reason. ACV brings more than 22,000 active buyers and inspection and valuation technology, while Copart contributes over 275 locations, roughly 4 million vehicles sold annually, and about 1 million members across more than 185 countries. Management structured it as an all-cash tender offer funded from cash on hand, with a close targeted by the end of the calendar year and earnings accretion expected in fiscal 2028. Executives framed the fit as physical scale meeting digital liquidity, giving dealers, banks, and fleet sellers a single partner for disposing of vehicles.
That diversification push is already showing up in the numbers. International revenue grew 11.7% to $222.1 million on 15% service revenue growth, and international buyers accounted for 45.7% of total US sales dollars despite making up only 38.2% of units, a sign they are chasing pricier vehicles. Domestically, non-insurance units returned to growth of 0.2% in the quarter after a full-year decline, dealer units rose 5.8%, and BluCar, which serves banks and fleets, expanded nearly 20%. Global average selling prices climbed 3.5%, evidence that Copart's auctions still command pricing power even as volumes soften.
The quarter's numbers show where the strain is. Consolidated revenue grew 2.4% to $1.2 billion, yet net income dropped 17.4% to $327.4 million and diluted earnings per share fell 14.6% to $0.35. Operating expense per car jumped 12.7% year over year as the company poured money into long-haul delivery, **** leExpress, and dedicated wholesale facilities, and US facility costs alone rose 7.7% in the quarter. Lower interest income, a byproduct of the $1.63 billion spent on buybacks earlier in the fiscal year, added to the squeeze.
The core insurance business is also cooling. Global insurance units fell 4.2%, with domestic insurance **** ignments down 7.5%, though management noted that figure would have been up 2.3% excluding the loss of a single customer. Collision claim frequency declined 3.4% even as total loss frequency hit a record 23.3% for a second quarter and severity topped $6,300 per claim, up 8.8%. And the ACV deal itself carries integration risk, since management expects only breakeven results before accretion arrives in fiscal 2028.

The Washington Commanders were inconsistent on offense during Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, just as many anticipated, but fans got to see one player exceed the expectations that a large portion of the public had set for him. After getting roasted for a perceived lack of strength during preseason play, which was captured via video, rookie linebacker Sonny Styles displayed eye-catching power in Philly.
The former Ohio State star bowled over 2024 Offensive Player of the Year Saquon Barkley before sacking Super Bowl 59 MVP Jalen Hurts. Retired offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz was quick to taunt the doubters following the thunderous play.
"So maybe that preseason week 1 'film review' mocking Styles wasn't indicative of how he might play in the regular season," the NFL ******* yst and podcast host quipped.
