With the amount of information available on the internet, it can sometimes be difficult to keep up. Nya (nyaajadee) faced a similar problem when she helped her boyfriend purchase a thrifted shirt for work and later learned that the brand that made the shirt, Sean John, was owned by none other than rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs.
For those wondering why Combs' ****** ociation with the brand is controversial, he is currently incarcerated at the Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution. He is serving a 50-month prison sentence following a criminal conviction in October 2025 for transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution.
So how did Nya learn about the shirt's controversial nature? In a TikTok video, she said that when her boyfriend wore it to the restaurant bar where he works, his colleagues started to laugh at him. "They were like, ****** , dude, a Sean John shirt? Like, you're kind of crazy," Nya said, recounting what his co-workers told him. Nya also shared that her boyfriend repeatedly asked them questions, as he was unaware of what was happening before finally realizing that Sean John was Diddy's clothing brand.
Nya said that after some back and forth, her boyfriend eventually realized that Sean John was Diddy's clothing brand. "We didn't know it was f****** Diddy. I didn't. I knew Diddy. I thought Diddy had pants. Just pants. I knew Diddy had pants. I didn't know he had shirts, too. But also, I didn't know that his clothing company was called Sean John," Nya said. She added, "So I helped my boyfriend pick out a Diddy shirt. What did Sean John do? What did Sean John not do?"
Turns out some people in the comments were as unaware as Nya about Diddy's clothing brand, despite knowing about his criminal conduct. One person wrote, "I didn't even know he made clothes." Another individual reacted similarly and said, "I guess I'm one millennial that was left out the loop lol because I didn't actually know his name other then his stage name, also did not know he had a clothing line."

Jessica Alba looked better than ever as she showcased her washboard abs in a Y2K-inspired outfit ahead of Paris Hilton's end-of-summer party, with the movie star borrowing clothes from her teenage daughter for the star-studded event.
The 45-year-old donned a beige tank top with gray stars dotted across it and a brown miniskirt that sat low on her hips, à la Y2K. She paired the look with stacked necklaces, a chunky gold bangle, eye-catching earrings and brown knee-high boots, and wore her brown-blonde hair in a half-up, half-down style.
Jessica looked incredible in the miniskirt and tank top (@ Instagram)
"Haven said hold please…When your 15-year-old daughter pulls from her closet to dress you for a Y2K party…thank you Haven," she wrote on Instagram, after revealing the outfit she had originally planned to wear before the teen intervened.
In the Instagram carousel, Jessica included a selfie of her at the party with actress Keke Palmer and co-CEO of Baby2Baby Kelly Sawyer. "A parishilton y2k end of summer party w my girls keke kellysawyer… that's hot," she captioned the photos.

Pricing alone does not decide where people buy their clothes.
With a number of retail chains competing for the off-price, on-trend fashion crown, it's easy for one brand to fall out of favor. Consumers seem to have an enduring love for Marshalls and TJ Maxx, while the popularity of Ross Dress for Less has grown steadily in recent years.
These brands drive sales by foot traffic, and that's a battle the aforementioned chains have been winning.
"Off-price apparel remained on solid footing in Q2 2026, with Ross leading the segment. Visits to Ross Dress for Less rose 16.4% year over year (YoY), while dd's DISCOUNTS grew 8.4%. TJX's TJ Maxx and Marshalls, meanwhile, saw visits hover around last year's levels — significantly outperforming traditional apparel, which declined 3.5% YoY," according to data from Placer.ai.
In the battle for customers looking for deals on trendy, fashionable clothes, Cato has been struggling, and now plans to close about 15% of its retail stores.

Sept 14 (Reuters) - Hollywood designer Bob Mackie, known for making stars such as Cher and Elton John sparkle, died on Monday at 87, according to a post on his official Instagram account.
His career spanned five decades and included designing a Barbie doll clothes collection.
Born in 1939 into a middle-class family in Monterey Park, California, he was nominated for more than 30 Emmys, winning nine. He received Academy Award nominations for costumes worn in the films "Lady Sings the Blues," "Funny Lady," and "Pennies From Heaven."
"His genius and extraordinary designs will live on forever, continuing to bring beauty into this world," his team said in an Instagram post. His cause of death was not stated.
Mackie was known for sequins, rhinestones and glitter, but also humor. The highlight of his 11-year run for The Carol Burnett Show was the "curtain dress" worn by Burnett in a sketch parodying 1939 film classic "Gone with the Wind." The costume, now in the collection of the Smithsonian's American History Museum, included a brass curtain rod balanced on Burnett's shoulders and a bit of valance worn as a hat.

After matching tattoos and Kyle Richards starring as the love interest in Morgan Wade's music video, Richards has given fans another reason to talk about her longtime friendship with the country singer. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star was recently spotted in a Polo hoodie that Wade has also worn. The sight immediately caught the attention of fans who closely follow the two women.
Richards, 57, arrived back in Los Angeles earlier this week in a gray Polo Ralph Lauren hoodie with the brand's signature bear. Fans quickly recognized the piece because Wade, 31, has previously worn a hoodie that looks exactly the same.
The clothing connection soon made its way onto X. One account posted side-by-side pictures of Richards and Wade wearing similar hoodies, writing, "Kyle arriving back to Los Angeles today. And if you recognise the hoodie? Well, not surprised."
While the sighting does not establish anything beyond the two women owning or wearing similar clothing, it has naturally attracted attention. Richards and Wade have been at the center of relationship speculation for years, making even small details involving the pair a talking point among fans.
There is also some history behind the matching wardrobe. Kyle Richards previously confirmed that she and Wade share clothes. During an August 2023 Amazon Live, she addressed fans' observations about their similar outfits. Richards said at the time, "We share clothes, you know?" She added, "I mean, I have a lot of friends that I share clothes with."

A Palestinian fashion designer says she nearly closed down her fashion brand until Olivia Rodrigo stepped in.
In a new interview, designer Yasmeen Mjalli told Vogue Arabia that her brand Nöl Collective, founded in 2020, almost exclusively imported natural fibers to create their clothes. She recalled the numerous challenges and hardships of creating new pieces in the West Bank.
Mjalli told the magazine she once ordered a shipment of naturally dyed handwoven wool for the brand's autumn collection, only for it to have been held and ultimately destroyed by Israeli customs. She said she made an attempt to source replacement fabric in Jerusalem, but her efforts were thwarted due to the army closing down roads out of Ramallah.
"I was genuinely like, maybe we should stop, maybe this is our last effort. I was just so tired," Mjalli said.

Charleston White, comedian and social media star, allegedly ****** aulted and robbed a woman.
This happened during the same weekend when the comedian was arrested on battery charges in South Florida.
Kay Pretty alleged on her Instagram on September 12, 2026, that she kept silent for too long. According to her story, White punched her in the face while she was sleeping, insulted her, said she was worthless, and tried to drive her away from the house they both lived in. The woman added that he had physically ****** aulted her the previous night as well.
"I have a lot to say about Charleston, from abusing me physically, mentally, emotionally, financially, and spiritually, to stealing my money, my jewelry, my clothes, my bags," she wrote. "He has disrespected me for the last time, and I won't stand for it anymore. I hope he gets what he deserves and rots in jail."
White, 49, was arrested Saturday by the Hollywood Police Department and booked into the Broward County jail on the misdemeanor charge of touch or strike battery, according to TMZ reports that referenced the jail records. The records list the case as pending trial with bond at $0. Until the case goes to court and the judge sets the bond, the comedian stays in jail. The details of the alleged battery incident aren't disclosed.

Fundstrat's Tom Lee took the Future Proof Citywide stage earlier this year with CNBC's Scott Wapner for a session that landed in the middle of a jittery tape that included geopolitical conflict, oil spiking, private credit cracking, and fresh doubts about AI spending. Not too far off where we find ourselves currently, but with an awful lot of volatility and shifting, uncertain outlooks between these six months. While their conversation was a snapshot in time, you can expect more of this kind of sharp, thoughtful ****** ysis next week.
The contrarian take of the session was oil. High crude, Lee argued, is actually constructive for U.S. equities. With the U.S. as a net exporter, our economic competitors are importers, and stalled global growth pushes investors toward growth stocks, which is about 80% of the U.S. market. On AI CapEx, he pushed back on the sticker shock, claiming roughly $700 billion a year is a fraction of the $60 trillion global labor market and small change against daily moves in gold.
Lee also made the case that software had bottomed at the time, that enterprises building their own tools inherit the maintenance burden software companies exist to carry, and that private credit is genuinely bad but not a GFC repeat, with the real fix being taking private companies public rather than pushing private product into retail portfolios. On crypto, his argument shifted from a perspective of digital gold to one of plumbing whereby Wall Street tokenizes ****** ets, and AI agents needing a settlement rail that handles fractions of a penny.
His parting advice was the oldest one in the book, dressed in new clothes: miss the 10 best days of each year and a 16% average return goes to roughly nothing. Danger and opportunity show up together. Staying invested is the perpetual drumbeat of advisors to their clients, but one that needs banging louder when markets feel much less certain.
Future Proof Festival is September 14–17 in Huntington Beach and includes four days on the boardwalk with advisors, ****** et managers, and fintechs building the modern wealth management industry. Find us at the ETF Oasis and don't miss the stellar agenda we've got lined up.

The Oklahoma Sooners lost one of their very best players to injury on Saturday in their 17-10 loss against the Michigan Wolverines. In the game's first quarter, star fifth-year linebacker Kip Lewis injured his right knee, initially returning to the game with a brace on. However, he quickly exited again, and was in the sideline in street clothes for the remainder of the contest.
After the game, head coach Brent Venables gave a quick update on Lewis' status, which wasn't a positive one for the Sooners.
"He'll miss some time," Venables said.
OU struggled mightily on defense in the first half, at least relative to their standards in Norman. However, the second half was better. The Sooners gave up just seven points when they were backed up following an interception from quarterback John Mateer.

While I buy most of my clothes from Amazon, when I needed a new wardrobe for a video shoot, my wife and I went on a tour of local retailers.
Since I needed shirts that would hold up well in hot weather, we went to Target and Bass Pro Shops, and as much as I don't like trying clothes on, I took advantage of the stores' dressing rooms.
I'm not alone in wanting to try things on before I buy.
"The opportunity to try on clothes and test products is a major driver of store traffic, with 52% of consumers surveyed saying they go to stores instead of shopping online because of this. References to trying on/testing products surged 32% YoY on average at retailers and were up 58% at beauty retailers," according to a Chatmeter report published last year.
People, me included, like seeing what they're buying before committing to a purchase.

Dolly Parton was a master musician, accomplished cook, and, perhaps most importantly, an excellent communicator. Parton could masterfully handle any insult, joke, or mean-spirited words that came her way.
Communication expert Dorie Clark broke down one of Dolly Parton's most infamous interviews with Barbara Walters from 1978. In it, Walters (knowingly or unknowingly) talked down to Parton about her appearance and upbringing.
But in true Dolly style, she defused anger and outrage with a strategy Clark calls a "label upgrade." It's a trick that worked well for Parton, and one Clark is sure can work for anyone during conversations that may turn offensive without warning.
In the clip shared on her Instagram, Clark highlights moments from the 1978 ABC News interview between Walters and Parton.
Walters first questions Parton about her looks, stating, "Dolly, you don't have to look like this. You're very beautiful. You don't have to wear the blonde wigs. You don't have to wear the extreme clothes, right?"

Since I needed shirts that would hold up well in hot weather, we went to Target and Bass Pro Shops, and as much as I don't like trying clothes on, I took advantage of the stores' dressing rooms.
I'm not alone in wanting to try things on before I buy.

Fast fashion group Inditex sold more clothes, made more money and started autumn strongly, yet the stock still fell because expectations were already so high that even another record performance was not enough to keep investors fully satisfied.
Inditex shares dropped around 3% after the Zara owner reported another record first half but delivered slightly softer profitability than investors had hoped for.
Sales reached €19.76 billion (about $23 billion) in the six months to July, up 7.6% year on year and the highest first-half figure in the group's history, while constant-currency growth was even stronger at 9.2%.
Net profit increased 6.8% to a record €2.98 billion, while EBITDA rose 7.8% to €5.51 billion and operating profit increased 7.6% to €3.84 billion.

Tina Knowles has shown she is a woman of many hats, and she's doubling down, starring in her first solo luxury fashion campaign.
The businesswoman, designer and mother of both Beyoncé and Solange Knowles made her luxury fashion campaign debut in American luxury heritage house St. John by Humberto Leon Fall 2026 capsule collection, released Sept. 10. The collection is now available at stjohnsknits.com
The collection serves as the inaugural campaign by Leon the brand's newly appointed creative director. He is the co-founder of the fashion brand Opening Ceremony and former co-creative director of Kenzo.
"St. John is a brand that exemplifies American luxury, and its unique perspective shaped the way I looked at fashion. I was always drawn to the mother-daughter bond at its core, and its iconic marketing which paired Marie Gray's dedication to knitwear with her daughter Kelly's edge. Today, that legacy is reflected not only in its excellence in design, but in the way its clothes make women of all generations feel. It's been thrilling to dive into St. John's incredible history, and I look forward to taking it to new and unexpected places," Leon said in a statement.
For the campaign, Knowles shows off her sense of style as she poses in various pieces from the collection, which features reimagined knitwear, capri pants, archival jewelry and more.

SOUTH BEND — Forty-two weeks since suffering the second left ACL tear of his career, Notre Dame football linebacker Kyngstonn Viliamu-Asa could return this week against Rice in the home opener.
"Kyngstonn's done a great job," Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman said Thursday, Sept. 10 on his Zoom update. "He's practiced well. He'd been working to the point where he can play. He's had a really good week of practice. Right now, we're optimistic he'll be able to go on Saturday and be able to help us some."
The junior standout from Inland Empire, CA wore his Shamrock Series jersey but otherwise was in civilian clothes for the season-opening win over Wisconsin on Sunday, Sept. 6.
Viliamu-Asa appeared to practice throughout August at near full capacity as he worked back from the Senior Day injury against Syracuse last Nov. 22.
A preseason All-America candidate, Viliamu-Asa averaged 40 defensive snaps per game in his 11 outings last season. He tied for fourth on the team with 48 tackles and ranked second with 7.5 tackles for loss, including three sacks.

The way that we dress often reflects how we feel – and vice versa, what we wear can impact our mood, too. It's why we often turn to jogging bottoms and hoodies when we're depressed, or dressing fabulously when we're happy. Indeed, many of us dress for how we want to feel, with the dopamine-inducing effects of clothes becoming a popular sartorial philosophy. This is certainly the case for 58-year-old Canadian singer Celine Dion, who has debuted a series of frivolous and fun looks ahead of her comeback concert on September 12.

The singer – known for hit Nineties power ballads including My Heart Will Go On and It's All Coming Back To Me – will perform 10 shows over five weeks at the Paris La Défense Arena, after taking a six-year break due to ill health. She suffers from a rare neurological condition, Stiff Person Syndrome, which causes stiff muscles in the arms, legs and torso, and can be extremely painful. At one point, the syndrome made it difficult for Dion to sing.
Following years of treatment, Dion is now ready to perform again. And her attitude to fashion proves it, as she's showcased a variety of different sartorial personalities in the run up – from tailoring with jeans, to the classic "little black dress".

Ciara is expecting baby number five!
The singer, 40, took to Instagram Sept. 6 to announce the news in a joint post with her husband, Russell Wilson, 37.
In a short video, the Grammy-winning R&B songstress can be seen hanging four crisp white t-shirts onto a clothesline outside, before adding a tiny baby onesie onto the end of the rope. Beaming, she turns to the camera and holds up five fingers.
The star looked effortlessly chic in a white tank top and pair of low hanging jeans, her baby **** p on display.
Messages of congratulations quickly poured in for the family. Singer Kehlani, actress La La Anthony and Vanessa Bryant were among the well-wishers.

Few retail chains that filled malls in the 1980s and 1990s still exist today.
Teenage me could have shopped at Chess King for shiny shirts, visited Gadzooks for baggy pants, or gone a little classier and purchased dressier clothes at Structure. All of those chains were fairly, if not very, popular for a minute, and none of them exist now.
Former Tory Burch Chief Client Officer Francesca Danzi told Forbes that it's a major challenge for a brand to remain relevant across decades.
"Enhancing retail experience is key and goes beyond adding omnichannel capabilities that boost convenience. We are witnessing the rise of experiential retail that is reshaping the store of the future," she said.
Danzi does not see the so-called retail apocalypse as a crisis where stores are closing, but as an opportunity to right-size store portfolios.

LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers swapped relievers in the bullpen on Saturday, activating Bobby Miller from the 60-day injured list with Kyle Hurt getting optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City. The timing of the move helps provide a lesson in timing and roster planning with just over three weeks remaining in the regular season.
The immediate need is available arms to cover Sunday and Monday's games. Sunday was an open spot in the rotation already on the nine-game homestand, and Monday opened up after Eric Lauer was placed on the injured list after his start last Tuesday. Justin Wrobleski, who pitched two innings on Tuesday, will be available for bulk innings on Sunday against the Nationals. Miller will be potentially available Sunday as well up to around 50 pitches if needed if he doesn't pitch on Saturday, manager Dave Roberts said Saturday.
Miller began the season on the injured list with shoulder inflammation, and also dealt with a back injury this season. During his rehab ***** ignment for Triple-A Oklahoma City, Miller put up a 3.86 ERA in seven games, with 17 strikeouts and four walks in 14 innings. His last two outings were exactly one inning, but his first five games with the Comets were between two and three innings, and ranged from 44-50 pitches.
"I feel like my stuff has played up a little bit better [in relief], but being in attack mode just all the time is really a mindset out there," Miller said Saturday. "Try to get ahead of every single hitter, not get in a ton of 3-2 counts, just try to get the hitter out as best you can."
Whether Miller is even an upgrade over Hurt is at least debatable, as at least one Dodgers reliever was surprised to see Hurt in street clothes with a travel bag packed walking out of the clubhouse on Saturday. But Miller is more likely than Hurt to provide length, and the fresh arm express isn't always fair.

Florida football enters the start of the 2026 season fairly healthy as the Gators are set to kickoff against Florida Atlantic at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on Sept. 5.
Earlier in the week, Florida football coach Jon Sumrall told reporters that tight end Evan Chieca was dealing with lower body and is questionable, while freshman defensive tackle Kendall Guervil was back practicing after dealing with a knee injury.
The only known player out for the year is running back Kelvin Jimenez.
During pregame warmups against FAU, freshman wide receiver Davian Groce was not dressed out. His injury is unknown as he was wearing street clothes.
Defensive lineman Stive-Bently Keumajou-Youndui was not dressed out with a sleeve on his leg, while offensive lineman Eager Boyer, a Penn State transfer, was also not dressed out.

As the Oregon Ducks take the field and prepare for their Week 1 game against the Boise State Broncos, some significant injury news is being confirmed.
It appears that true freshman wide receiver Jalen Lott will miss this game for Oregon, as he was not seen with the rest of his teammates warming up. The Ducks also appear to be without WR Iverson Hooks, who came out for warm-ups in street clothes, not going through drills with the other pass-catchers.
Rumors swirled in fall camp that Lott was dealing with a hand injury suffered in practice, but we were not able to confirm it until seeing him in person. The timeline for his recovery is unknown, but head coach Dan Lanning may give clarity on that front after the game when asked.
Lott, a former 5-star recruit who was rated as the No. 19 overall player and No. 3 WR in the 2026 class, arrived in Eugene earlier this summer after completing his senior track and field season at Frisco Panther Creek in Texas.
While he was a bit behind the 8-ball in terms of getting up to speed on the playbook and cracking the wide receiver rotation, Lott's unreal athleticism acted as an early differentiator, allowing him to stand out during the first few practices of fall camp.

Kristen Stewart has spent much of her life in front of cameras, yet fame has never made performing feel completely ordinary to her. Acting requires someone to become another person while an audience watches, an experience Stewart has described as inherently strange. Public appearances can bring a similar sense of discomfort, but one area where she has developed a distinctive identity is fashion. Rather than treating clothes as a carefully calculated part of celebrity life, Stewart prefers to trust her instincts. That approach has helped make her style recognizable both on the red carpet and on screen.
Stewart's relationship with fashion has also been shaped by her long ****** ociation with Chanel. Although glamorous gowns and designer looks frequently accompany major premieres and events, she does not believe every outfit needs to be worn simply because it appears fashionable. If something feels wrong, she would rather change direction. For Stewart, discomfort can become visible, so confidence comes from choosing clothing that feels authentic. Her willingness to mix elegance with a more relaxed personal style has become part of her public image.
That philosophy took on a different meaning when Stewart played Princess Diana in Pablo Larraín's 2021 film Spencer. The movie imagines Diana during a tense Christmas gathering with the British royal family as she struggles with her marriage and the expectations surrounding her position. Stewart found that the costumes were far more than beautiful recreations of royal fashion. They helped establish the emotional reality of the character and provided another way to understand the pressure Diana experienced.
Stewart described Diana's clothing as capable of communicating dramatically different emotions. At certain moments, an outfit could feel restrictive, almost like a form of confinement. At others, the same world of carefully chosen clothing could provide confidence and strength. Through research, Stewart noticed how Diana's personality could remain visible even when she appeared uncomfortable with what she was wearing. Instead of disappearing beneath the clothes, Diana could project an unmistakable energy through them. That observation became useful for Stewart as she searched for a believable interpretation rather than simply attempting an imitation.
Stewart and Diana both experienced extraordinary levels of public attention, but Stewart has resisted easy comparisons between their lives. What connects them more meaningfully in Spencer is the importance of individuality under intense scrutiny. For Stewart, clothing became one of several tools for exploring that conflict. Her instinctive approach to personal fashion may reject anything that feels unnatural, but acting sometimes requires exactly the opposite. An uncomfortable costume can reveal something essential about a character, turning fashion from decoration into a powerful part of storytelling.

WEST LAFAYETTE − Before the first serve of Purdue volleyball's Wednesday night match against Georgia in Mackey Arena, the Boilermakers got a motivational boost.
All-American outside hitter Kenna Wollard was on the sideline with her team, dressed in street clothes.
Wollard, who last season was a second-team All-American and Midwest Region Player of the Year who entered 2026 on the preseason National Player of the Year watch list, announced on social media last week she would be taking a hiatus "with an unexpected health issue that will keep me away for a little while."

Wollard was not present in Purdue's season opener against Creighton in South Dakota or for Tuesday's home win over Texas A&M.

Before Melissa Joan Hart played the supernatural student in "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," she starred opposite Calista Flockhart in the off-Broadway production "Beside Herself."
While starring in the 1989 production, a young Hart found an unexpected mentor in the "Ally McBeal" star, she tells USA TODAY.
"I was about 10, 11, and she was young. She was like 18," Hart says. "She used to have me come over to her house and do sleepovers and she'd give me her hand-me-down clothes. I watched the way she prepped for work."
Joe Pintauro's play "Beside Herself" follows a woman named Mary from four different stages of her life. Hart played a pre-teen Mary, while Flockhart played the role in her post-teen years.
In between shows, Hart and Flockhart would stop at New York's Bleecker Street Pizza for a slice. Hart also remembers taking notes on Flockhart's stretching routine and breathing exercises ahead of shows.
