Sabrina Carpenter brought playful charm and vintage romance to Bernadette Antwerp's latest knitwear campaign. The singer posed for the brand's Instagram page wearing a soft green knit mini dress. Choosing a daring, open-back silhouette, she commanded instant attention with her effortless take on countryside style. Her striking floral-knit look highlights the label's signature charm while making a memorable style statement for the brand.
For the shoot, Sabrina Carpenter wore a green Bernadette Antwerp knit minidress as she posed on a wooden porch overlooking a lake. The fitted bodice featured white daisy embroidery across the chest and shoulders, along with a bow at the back of the neckline. The open-back design extended from her shoulders to her waist before wrapping around the hips. The dress finished with a short hemline. The "Espresso" singer completed the outfit with a white crochet headscarf tied loosely around her head. Her blonde hair fell in loose waves beneath the scarf.
Carpenter leaned against the porch railing while glancing back over her shoulder for the camera. For the brand's photoshoot, she stood framed by greenery and a quiet lake view, striking a relaxed, sun-drenched pose. Ultimately, the dress gave Carpenter's outdoor shoot a breezy edge, with no major jewelry or accessories competing with the dress's standout cutout.
Carpenter constantly redefines playful, girl-next-door style with her signature charm. She easily transforms a demure floral knit into a surprisingly daring moment. Clearly, the soft green fabric caught the golden evening light with every pose. She effortlessly combines delicate embroidery with a dramatic cutout and relaxed countryside styling. Undoubtedly, Carpenter delivered one of Bernadette Antwerp's standout campaign looks. She continues to show how to wear vintage-inspired knitwear with effortless allure.

Ahead of the release of Zach Cregger's reboot today, there were already seven Resident Evil movies — six of them in a more action-oriented series starring Milla Jovovich, four of which were directed by her husband, Paul W.S. Anderson, plus an unrelated "reboot" in 2021 called Welcome to Raccoon City that went for more of a John Carpenter vibe and was an attempt to truly "adapt" the games. There's also a Netflix TV show version that ran for a single season in 2022. Countless other works in the horror genre have unofficially cribbed from the Resident Evil games over the years. It's an incredibly influential series.
And yet, Zach Cregger, hot off his Oscar-winning original horror film Weapons, is the first filmmaker to truly feel like he's adapting the experience of playing the games, arguably the scariest survival-horror ones ever made, rather than simply incorporating story and plot elements to explain the outbreak of infected people. In Cregger's hands, Resident Evil is pure crowd-pleasing popcorn cinema, best experienced in a packed movie theater with dozens of other people reacting loudly to the madness.
The premise couldn't be simpler — and the runtime a brisk 90ish minutes — as we follow a medical courier named Bryan (Austin Abrams, proving himself to be the Bruce Campbell for a new generation) who unwittingly finds himself fighting for survival as one fateful, horrifying night collapses around him in a swirl of chaos. Fans of the video games will recognize various easter eggs and nods to game mechanics, including the importance of conserving ammo and checking every last drawer for more of it.
But you don't need to be familiar with the games at all to enjoy the movie, which is an efficient horror set-piece machine that just keeps putting Abrams in increasingly concerning situations. I can't stress enough how much this is a one-man show anchored by Abrams, and he crushes it. He's in every scene, earning tons of laughs simply by reacting as a normal person would in this situation; he's a true audience-surrogate character, ushering us through the chaos. His comedic timing, paired with Cregger's ****** ured camerawork and editing, is a match made in genre-movie heaven.
I didn't expect it to be so heavily inspired by genre classics like The Thing and Evil Dead. In fact, it's a better Evil Dead movie than the last several movies with "Evil Dead" in the ****** le, nailing the horror-comedy tone that only Sam Raimi and a few others can pull off with aplomb. Cregger has a ton of fun with the various monstrous forms that the infected take here, from fusing multiple humans together to crafting his own horror take on a big, scary guy like Dune's Baron Harkonnen. Resident Evil movies have thus far treated the zombies as pretty traditional movie zombies; Cregger's version gets at the attempt to create the next stage of human evolution.

Select Growth Fund targets U.S. businesses driving significant structural change through disruptive innovation. The fund returned 23.2% in the quarter, outperforming the Russell 1000 Growth Index at 16.7%. U.S. large-cap growth equities rebounded sharply, driven by improving corporate fundamentals and renewed investor confidence in AI, despite geopolitical uncertainties. However, the market's gains were narrow, concentrated among AI beneficiaries. The portfolio's success stemmed from strength in AI infrastructure holdings, especially memory and storage, supported by better pricing and tightening supply. As AI development advances, continuous demand for compute capacity is expected, prompting investments in memory, CPUs, AI chips, and semiconductor manufacturing to address emerging bottlenecks essential for scaling AI. Also, check the fund's top five holdings to see its best picks in 2026.
In its Q2 2026 investor letter, Sands Capital Select Growth Fund highlighted Carpenter Technology Corporation (NYSE:CRS), a specialty metals manufacturer serving diversified industries. Carpenter Technology Corporation (NYSE:CRS), held since 2025 with a 4.2% portfolio weight, contributed 1.7% to the Fund's performance this quarter. On September 1, 2026, Carpenter Technology Corporation (NYSE:CRS) closed at $473.06 per share. Over the past month, Carpenter Technology Corporation (NYSE:CRS) declined 17.06%, while its shares are up 100.69% over the past year. Carpenter Technology Corporation (NYSE:CRS) has a market capitalization of $23.44 billion, and its stock has traded within a 52-week range of $228.00 to $625.99.
Sands Capital Select Growth Fund stated the following regarding Carpenter Technology Corporation (NYSE:CRS) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"Carpenter Technology Corporation (NYSE:CRS) is a leading supplier of specialty nickel alloys for the aerospace industry. Fiscal third quarter results reinforced our margin thesis as the company demonstrated significant operating leverage as the aerospace equipment cycle continued to recover. Specialty Alloys Operations generated an 86 percent incremental margin in a quarter when volume grew at its strongest rate since the post-COVID aerospace recovery. In our view, the results helped validate that Carpenter's earnings power can continue to expand as the business benefits from improving volume, pricing, and mix. We maintain conviction, supported by Carpenter Technology's specialized materials leadership, pricing power, and exposure to a multiyear aerospace production recovery."

The American football player opened up about their nuptials on the latest New Heights podcast episode, released on Wednesday.
Flashing a glimpse of his new gold wedding ring, Travis told his brother Jason Kelce, "At this point, we're what, over a month out? It's been so much fun. I wish it could've lasted even longer than it did; it felt like it just happened in the blink of an eye."

"It's a night out we'll never forget," Travis continued.

And it was just so magical, man."

Riley Greene returns to the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday, September 1, as one of the club's call-ups after the rosters expand. The three-time All-Star has been on the IL for almost three weeks with a hamstring injury, and the Tigers have been struggling mightily in his absence. The team went 4-14 in the 18 games since the injury, and have gone from fringe contenders in the playoff hunt to non-factors in the Wild Card race. Although the bullpen has continued its season-long struggle during this time, the team's offense has really struggled. Here is how he can help his team as Riley Greene returns from the IL.
The Tigers are currently in fourth place in the AL Central and are just one win up from the Kansas City Royals, who have dwelt in the basement all season long. They sit six whole games back from the last Wild Card spot as Riley Greene returns, and are really struggling at the plate. Although Dillon Dingler has been one of the best catchers in baseball, he hit a severe slump right around the time that Greene hit the IL. Others like Spencer Torkelson have found it tough to get their game going all season long. Meanwhile, injuries have also been a factor as Kerry Carpenter and as mentioned Greene have found themselves hitting the IL in recent weeks.
Although he hasn't hit the same heights as the last two seasons, Riley Greene remains one of the Tigers' most productive bats. Through 177 games in 2026, he's slugged 16 home runs and driven in 54 runners, with an OPS of .816, making him the team's most dangerous hitter this season. Rookies Kevin McGonigle and Max Clark have made waves in recent weeks, but the team can't rely on their young players to deliver when it really matters, that's when veterans need to step up to the plate, literally.

McGonigle continues to make a great case for AL Rookie of the Year honors, and Clark who has collected 23 hits in his first 28 games in the big leagues. They will get a boost as Riley Greene returns to lengthen this lineup and give protection to the two of them, as well as the struggling Dingler and Torkelson. Knowing that Greene is in the lineup is going to make pitchers want to challenge these other batters a bit more than they have, so the other starters should see more fastballs in the zone. Fans will worry whether or not it is too late for 2026.

Dolly Parton's death at 80 came after a brief battle with cancer, her representatives confirmed to TMZ. The country legend died Tuesday at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville, surrounded by people close to her. Her passing still shocked family and friends, who knew she had been ill but believed she would recover.
Dolly Parton had spent four days hospitalized in Nashville before her death following several health problems in recent months. TMZ reported that her condition had worried those around her, yet the final outcome arrived unexpectedly. Her representatives said she devoted her life to spreading "joy, laughter, hope and integrity," while highlighting her charitable work and support for medical research.
Tributes quickly followed. Jane Fonda, Parton's longtime friend and 9 to 5 co-star, remembered her warmly, while Reba McEntire mourned the loss of a friend whose place in music could never be duplicated. McEntire wrote there would "never ever be another" Parton.
President Donald Trump, Celine Dion, Sabrina Carpenter, Barack Obama, Anne Hathaway, and several other celebrities have also paid tribute, sharing heartfelt messages after her family announced her death on social media.
Parton, famously known as the Queen of Country, built far more than a country-music career. She moved from rural Tennessee into the national spotlight through songwriting, recording, and television before becoming a major film star and entrepreneur. Her catalog includes Jolene, 9 to 5, and I Will Always Love You, songs that continued to travel across generations.

LAWRENCE — As Daryl Agpalsa recently reflected on the Kansas football offensive line room, he highlighted that the unit has been on a steady climb.
Agpalsa, the Jayhawks' position coach for the group, acknowledged that there are ups and downs over the course of fall camp. The unit isn't where KU needs it to be yet. But they're still moving in the right direction, as the regular season opener continues to draw closer.
RELATED: Led by Leroy Harris III, here's how KU football's defensive ends are looking
Here are some takeaways about how things are progressing with Kansas' offensive line:
Along the offensive line, redshirt junior Amir Herring spent last season as the Jayhawks' regular starter at left guard. But this year, while KU brought in redshirt junior Kasen Carpenter as a transfer from Oklahoma State, there's a very good chance that Herring sees some playing time at center. Kansas head coach Lance Leipold detailed that possibility recently, outlining that when they can have Herring at center, they're bigger at guard with redshirt juniors Connor Stroh (Texas transfer) and Tavake Tuikolovatu in the game.

During the "1989" era in 2014 and 2015, she cut her long hair into a shoulder-length bob or lob. She kept the wavy, side-swept style through most of the 1989 World Tour before switching to a shorter, chin-length blunt bob in early 2016.

Taylor Swift has been married to NFL star Travis Kelce for more than a month. The power couple tied the knot in a ceremony at Madison Square Garden on Friday, July 3. More than 1,000 guests were in attendance.
While Kelce, 36, is currently getting ready for the 2026 NFL season with the Kansas City Chiefs, his wife, Swift, has been traveling abroad. Swift, 36, was spotted in London earlier this week. She's since been spotted at a United Kingdom wedding.
Swift stunned with a new, short haircut, a month into being Mrs. Kelce.
"Joined by pals Sabrina Carpenter and Jack Antonoff to celebrate the nuptials of recording engineers Oli Jacobs and Laura Sisk, Swift's shorter hairdo was on full display, with her signature bangs still intact, as she wore a navy blue dress embroidered with golden floral designs. She paired the attire with her classic red lip, as well as her massive engagement ring and wedding band following her own wedding to Travis Kelce earlier this summer," PEOPLE reported.
Photos of the haircut can be seen here.

LSU football faced a depth problem at defensive end heading into the offseason. It addressed by keeping multiple highly-rated 2026 commits and bringing in proven talent from the transfer portal. Defensive coordinator Blake Baker shared confidence in the group during fall camp.
Baker highlighted Ole Miss transfer Princewill Umanmielen and Tennessee transfer Jordan Ross, saying he's seen "a lot of growth" since their arrival in the spring. He also highlighted redshirt junior Dylan Carpenter, who developed into a key depth piece in 2025.
"Dylan Carpenter is a guy that he's absolutely been outstanding," Baker said. "When you talk about where he came in as a freshman to where he is now, you know, you don't see that much anymore because a lot of times they'll leave before that, but, man, I can't be more complimentary to him."
The Tigers lack experience down the depth chart past their starters on the defensive line, but Baker showed confidence in young guys like five-star true freshman Lamar Brown and redshirt sophomore Kolaj Cobbins. He feels LSU displays balance with different strengths, which will be the key to success.
"I feel good about our depth," Baker said. "I think we have some really good explosion off the edge as well and they're all complimentary of each other. Some guys have really good strengths in one area compared to another, so we're going to be able to play around with those weapons."

Detroit – The Tigers have added some veteran outfield depth to their system, signing 27-year-old Michael Siani to a minor league deal and ******* igning him to Triple-A Toledo.
Siani, a plus-defender, has played parts of five seasons in the big leagues, including one game for the Orioles this season.
In one full season, with the Cardinals in 2024, he posted a .570 OPS in 124 games.
He's struggled offensively in Triple-A this season, .167/.281/.242 with both the Dodgers and Orioles.
The Tigers were left short on outfielders because of injuries to James Outman, Kerry Carpenter and Wenceel Perez. They've already called up Ben Malgeri, Trei Cruz and Corey Julks from Triple-A Toledo.

The PGA Tour capped off its 2026 regular season with yet another strong viewership performance.
CBS averaged 2.59 million viewers during its Sunday broadcast of the Wyndham Championship, a 33 percent increase from last year, according to Josh Carpenter with Sports Business Journal. The final round broadcast peaked at just shy of 4 million viewers as Michael Brennan made birdie on the 72nd hole to seal a three-shot win, nabbing the second PGA Tour victory of his career.
The network also saw stellar ratings Saturday, with an average of 1.79 million, making it the most-watched weekend at the Wyndham Championship since 2015, when Tiger Woods finished in a tie for 10th. Golf Channel's weekday coverage was up 22 percent year-over-year, averaging 614,000 viewers over the first two rounds.
Of the 26 non-major PGA Tour events, only three had final rounds that failed to eclipse an average of 2 million viewers, those being the pair of January tournaments that went head-to-head with the NFL Playoffs, as well as the Genesis Scottish Open, which suffered from a large time zone gap for American audiences but still managed to draw 1.94 million.
Per usual, the Masters blew every other event out of the water with more than 13 million final-round viewers, but the PGA Tour can boast the fact that three of its tournaments ― the Players Championship, the RBC Heritage and the Travelers Championship ― all outdrew The Open Championship, the season's final major.

Well this is a peculiar first move for trade deadline season. Jake Rogers, the longest tenured Detroit Tigers player, has been designated for ***** ignment. Eduardo Valencia was recalled on Sunday and will be taking over the backup catcher duties. Rogers' roster spot will go to Javier Báez, who returns from a three-month absence after suffering a high ankle sprain at the end of April.
The 31-year-old Rogers made his major league debut with the Tigers back on July 30, 2019 after coming to the Tigers in the trade that sent Justin Verlander to the Houston Astros in August of 2017. He finally became the Tigers primary catcher in 2021 before tearing his UCL and requiring reconstruction surgery that cost him all of the 2022 season. In 2023 and 2024 Rogers put together good seasons based around his defensive ability, plate discipline, and the occasional burst of home run power. He was worth 4.7 fWAR across those two years, but since that point his offensive contributions collapsed as Dillon Dingler took over the everyday catching role. This season, Rogers' defense finally showed real signs of cracking as well. He's hitting .161/.266/.301 for a 60 wRC+ which ranks him 48th out of 59 catchers with 100 plate appearances or more this season.
Despite his struggles, two part-time White Sox catchers, and numerous others, are even worse offensive players than Rogers. It won't be a surprise if he gets claimed, but it's too bad no one would flip a lottery ticket prospect to acquire him. The problem is that Rogers defensive numbers have declined this year and he's finally grading out a little below average as a defender. Whether that's partly the result of lack of playing time is hard to say, but hopefully he'll be claimed somewhere. If he clears waivers and is outrighted the Tigers will still be on the hook for the rest of his $3.05M salary for 2026.
Valencia is far and away a better hitter than Rogers, so that should provide a little support to the offense. On the other hand, Valencia isn't that good behind the plate, particularly in terms of holding opponents' running game in check. Still with Rogers defensive numbers in decline, perhaps Valencia won't do worse.
Getting Báez back could be pretty helpful to the Tigers although it's just funny to look at Báez as a way to trim strikeouts in the lineup by taking over some of the workload from James Outman. It will be interesting to see how he's deployed. With Kerry Carpenter out with a foot injury, the outfield needs help. It needed help anyway. We'll see if Báez is back to full speed and can get back to playing a solid enough center field. If he's back to 100 percent, that also gives the Tigers options, with Báez getting some time at shortstop and around the infield to get another right-handed bat into the lineup. Either way, it's good to have Javy Báez back, and hopefully further support for the outfield isn't too far away as Max Clark will be available to be called up without spoiling his 2027 rookie eligibi

Guernsey boxer Tommy Teers saw his Commonwealth Games debut end in defeat.
The 28-year-old bantamweight - who juggles his boxing training with working as a carpenter - lost on a split decision to Eriu Temakau of Kiribati.
Teers had a point deducted for a low blow in the opening round before improving in the second.
But Temakau won the third round and took the decision 3-1.
"Surprisingly, I feel good - a split decision loss, I think the point deducted away from me in the first round kind of edged it his way, which is boxing, these things happen," Teers told BBC Guernsey.

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - JULY 17: Flavor Flav (C), Rhiannon Rae Ellis (2R) and Team USA members Alexandra Carpenter (L) and Hilary Knight (R) attend a private Team USA Athletes Only Dinner featuring top celebrity female chefs and hosted by Flavor Flav during Flavor Flav's SHE Weekend at the new Westoria Restaurant inside The Cosmopolitan on July 17, 2026 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic for ABA)
For years, the conversation surrounding women’s sports has centered on one word: equality. Flavor Flav is demonstrating another word leaders should consider: investment.
For many fans, Flavor Flav will forever be remembered as Public Enemy's energetic hype man, a 2013 Rock N Roll Hall of Fame inductee, the larger-than-life personality behind the iconic clock necklace, or the star of reality television's Flavor of Love.
But this past weekend, the Public Enemy co-founder brought more than one hundred Gold, Silver, and Bronze medalists from Team USA’s Women Olympic and Paralympic programs to Las Vegas for SHE Weekend—short for Sports, Hospitality and Entertainment— for a four-day celebration designed to give America’s female athletes something many had rarely experienced at this scale: a victory celebration built specifically around them. I went to experience it for myself, and it was incredible.
The weekend included a parade on the Las Vegas Strip, front-row seats to a private concert from Public Enemy, receiving keys to the Las Vegas Strip, and attendance to the Backstreet Boys’ Sphere residency, where Team USA Medal winners received an onstage acknowledgment. This was in addition to a slate of curated dinners and programming talks from executives across the spectrum.

TSMC's $265B US manufacturing pledge and Alphabet's 9.6 GW data center leases represent the hyperscaler firepower driving Europe's 20x AI investment deficit.
AI-driven labor restructuring remains isolated to high-exposure occupations, with broader impact on healthcare, logistics, and finance not projected until 2029.
Act now: the ****** yst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and Google didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.
A recent Thoughts on the Market roundtable hosted by Seth Carpenter highlighted two major realities shaping the AI economy. Just seven U.S. hyperscalers plan to spend 20 times more on AI than all of Europe, while AI's broader impact on employment may not emerge until 2029 or later.
The episode discussed that Europe's total planned AI investment is "A factor of 20 below what we see in the US by just the 7 hyperscalers." That comparison shows that a small cluster of America's cloud and platform giants alone dwarfs what the entire European bloc is committing.

CHICAGO – Detroit Tigers right-hander Jack Flaherty just didn’t feel right while pitching against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on Monday, July 20.
“Didn't feel normal there, like in the fourth inning,” Flaherty said. “Ball wasn't coming out the same.”
He was taken out after four innings after giving up four runs off five hits and striking out six.
After going through tests, Flaherty was put on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday with right flexor tendon inflammation. But he does not feel it will be a long-term issue. His stay on the IL is expected to be close to the minimum.
