Queen Máxima of the Netherlands didn't just show up at a cattle farm in Veenhuizen this week — she turned it into a runway. Joining King Willem-Alexander for a visit to a dairy operation in the province of Drenthe, Máxima swapped her usual ****** nal of bold colors, oversized volumes and unexpected jewelry for something different: a distinctly autumnal palette. The effect landed somewhere between countryside and cinema — a queen in brown and burgundy, topped with a dramatically tilted wide-brimmed hat and tasseled earrings, standing among cows and calves.

In true Máxima fashion, there was room for a laugh amid the pageantry. One of the farm's calves had been born just minutes before the royal couple arrived, and Máxima was given the honor of naming it. Her options: Wilhelmina or Máxima. "Then, Máxima," she said, laughing.
The queen's midi-length brown dress leaned into a silhouette tailor-made for the shift into fall weather. A round neckline left room for a subtle, elegant hint of décolletage, while the sleeves — constructed in small cape-like layers — gave the whole look a sense of movement with every step.
The most flattering detail sat at the waist, where gentle gathering pulled the fabric in just enough to define her shape before letting the skirt fall freely. The dress needed no further embellishment: between the sleeve volume and the cape's motion, it carried plenty of presence on its own.

Taylor Fritz is set to begin his 2026 US Open campaign against 18-year-old American Darwin Blanch. The No. 9 seed is looking forward to ending a 23-year wait for a men's Grand Slam champion, while his off-court life is also drawing plenty of attention ahead of his first-round match in Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Days before the year's final Grand Slam, the American tennis star was spotted with social media influencer Olivia Jade Giannulli in New York City on August 24, adding to the romance rumors that have surrounded the pair.
Giannulli is a 26-year-old social media influencer and YouTuber with 1.3 million followers on Instagram. She is the daughter of actress Lori Loughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, and later launched her own beauty brand, o.piccola.
Speculation about the 28-year-old ATP pro and Giannulli began earlier this summer. In May, reports claimed the two were seen together at The Bird Streets Club in Los Angeles, where they reportedly appeared "cozy."
Last month, reports said Fritz brought Giannulli as his guest to the wedding of fellow American pro Tommy Paul and Dairy Boy founder Paige Lorenze. And a week ago, they were also spotted together in Manhattan, their first public appearance since May.

US stocks gained on Tuesday as investors brushed aside worries about new trade measures against Canada, even as Canada announced new retaliatory tariffs on US goods. Markets also continued to weigh looming Nvidia (NVDA) earnings and predictions for Kevin Warsh's first Jackson Hole speech as Fed chair.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) and the S&P 500 (^GSPC) rose by 0.1% and 0.2%, respectively. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) advanced by 0.4%, recovering from Monday's tech declines.
Stocks held on to gains as a trade spat between the US and Canada escalated, with Canada's Finance Department announcing retaliatory tariffs to counter the 50% duties imposed by the Trump administration over the weekend. Notably, as the US and Canada have ratcheted up their rhetoric, they have left oil off the table for now, even as they raise tariffs on steel, dairy, and other products.
The price of bitcoin (BTC-USD), meanwhile, briefly surged above $80,000 for the first time in three months after the Treasury's intervention in the bond market revived concerns about dollar debasement, sending investors to alternative ****** ets. Gold (GC=F), too, has rallied in recent days but took a breather on Tuesday.
The latest economic data releases showed that both new home sales and a measure of consumer confidence fell to their lowest levels since January as cost-of-living pressures weighed on consumers. The data sets the stage for the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole Symposium later this week, where Fed Chairman Warsh will deliver a speech.

Miranda Kerr has addressed the backlash she faced over her disciplined diet and wellness routine. The supermodel took to Instagram on August 21 to open up about her daily lifestyle that had been labelled as "unhinged habits".
"Some of my 'unhinged' habits are actually just the routines that make me feel my best. For me, that looks like avoiding foods that cause inflammation in my body, prioritizing sleep, and being really intentional about the little choices I make every day. I start each morning with noni juice (even though I'll be the first to admit it doesn't taste very good), I cut out alcohol and I'm usually in bed before 9pm," she penned in the caption. "Wellness looks different for everyone, so be sure to listen to your body and stay consistent with what makes you feel good."
Miranda shared a post that broke down the non-negotiable wellness practices she follows to ensure she feels her best. "Eating a gluten-free, egg-free and dairy-free diet to reduce inflammation," read the first slide in the carousel. Other practices included being in bed by 9pm and up at 5am, starting everyday with a shot of noni juice, never falling asleep in makeup, eating dinner with her kids at 5pm, avoiding alcohol, and using certified organic skincare from her brand KORA Organics.

The criticism came after Miranda appeared on Kristin Cavallari's Let's be Honest podcast, where she explained that she changed her diet when she was diagnosed with proctitis, a form of irritable bowel syndrome, during her pregnancy with her second son six years ago.

A teenager from County Down hopes an app he has developed will revolutionise how farms are run, giving hard-pressed farmers more time.
Ben O'Connor, 16, was inspired when his family's farm near Castlewellan moved from beef to a dairy operation.
That meant longer hours, strict routine and more tasks to schedule, all of which reduced the time his family had together.
The entrepreneur had previously developed a mail order gift business at the age of 13. After selling that last year, he turned his talents to managing farm tasks.
FarmFlow is now being trialled on several farms across the UK and Ireland. He hopes to roll out the app, which targets the farm paperwork burden, alongside his studies.

The Coca-Cola Company (KO) has always had a knack for reinvention; that's why it has maintained its position as the global market leader for 140 years.
In recent years, as consumer tastes shifted toward healthier, sugar-free beverages, the company pivoted into bottled water, energy drinks, juices, coffees, and even dairy products, which allowed it to retain its roughly 40% share of the global beverage market.
But being seen in all the right places has always been one of ******* e's strongest marketing moves. Its presence at the FIFA World Cup helped propel another strong quarter, as the company reported net revenues of $13.4 billion, a 7% year-over-year increase. With EPS of $0.97, Coca-Cola beat Wall Street estimates by 4% and raised its full-year outlook to 5%.
Yet Coca-Cola didn't become the world's largest beverage company on its own. Behind its constant reinvention is a global workforce responsible for turning its strategy into sales.
Here's a look at Coca-Cola's employees in 2026, where they work, and how recent layoffs have reshaped its workforce.

Influencer and entrepreneur Paige Lorenze is going viral again — this time for beefing with a small business in Nantucket, Mass.
Four Winds Craft Guild, a family-run art shop on the coastal island, went viral earlier this week after its owner, John Sylvia, hung a sign consisting of just two words: "No influencers." Responses to Sylvia's sign have been mixed. Some locals and influencers have supported him, while others have criticized the sign as discriminatory.
One such critic is Lorenze, whose lifestyle brand, Dairy Boy, also has a storefront on Nantucket. After seeing Sylvia's sign on social media, Lorenze was quick to clap back — putting the business on blast for what she sees as an unfair take on influencer culture.
So what's the big deal about the sign and why did it spark an impassioned response from Lorenze? Not chronically online? Not a problem. Below, Yahoo breaks down the drama — and where things stand now.
All right, let's start with the basics. Lorenze is a 28-year-old influencer and entrepreneur with nearly two million followers across her platforms. She is also the founder of Dairy Boy, a nostalgic, coastal-inspired lifestyle brand with pop-ups and retail locations that she launched in 2021.

Coca-Cola (KO) disclosed a ransomware attack suspended Fairlife's U.S. production with no restoration timeline, threatening grocery shelf availability nationwide.
Past food and beverage ransomware attacks on Arizona Beverages and UNFI caused weeks of empty shelves, and Fairlife has few protein dairy substitutes.
Act now: the ***** yst who called NVIDIA in 2010 just named his top 10 AI stocks — and Coca-Cola didn't make the cut. Grab the names FREE today.
One of the fastest-growing brands in the American dairy aisle just went dark, and a cyberattack is the reason.
In a securities filing on July 16, 2026, Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) disclosed that its Fairlife dairy subsidiary was hit by a ransomware attack that breached its IT systems, including production-related systems. Fairlife's U.S. production operations are "temporarily suspended," though Canadian operations are unaffected. The Fairlife hack is now rippling toward grocery shelves, and the Coca-Cola ransomware disclosure leaves the key question unanswered: when production comes back.

U.S. beverage maker Coca-Cola said one of its dairy subsidiaries was hacked and that it's shutting down its operations for the foreseeable future. The multinational giant said in a disclosure with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that its Fairlife dairy company was hit by ransomware and that its production systems are affected. The company said that its Fairlife production operations across the United States are "temporarily suspended."
Fairlife's operations in Canada are unaffected.
Coca-Cola is one of the largest companies in the world, with products spanning carbonated drinks, water, and dairy products. Its Fairlife dairy is one of the company's major brands, with an estimated $4 billion in sales by 2024.
Ransomware attacks on food and beverage companies can have lasting effects. Past incidents at Arizona Beverages in 2019 and food distributor giant UNFI last year resulted in weeks-long disruptions to their respective production lines and empty grocery shelves.
Coca-Cola didn't say when Fairlife's systems would be restored.

FrieslandCampina is reorganising its business in Europe's retail channel to become "simpler and more customer-centric", CEO Jan Derck van Karnebeek said.
The changes affect business units with remits that have overlapped in Europe.
The Dutch dairy cooperative plans to combine the elements of two units – Retail & Americas and Europe – that have both worked with customers in Europe's retail market.

An athlete who is registered blind has had his dreams of competing in the Paralympic Games dashed after he was told he could lose what little was left of his sight.
Scott Bailey, a former dairy farmer from Crewe, lost the majority of his vision seven years ago through diabetic retinopathy, a condition which damages the retina's blood vessels.
Over the last two years, he has been training and competing in judo with the aim of representing Team GB in the Los Angeles Paralympic Games in 2028.

He told BBC Radio Stoke it came not long after his beloved guide dog Milo retired, adding: "At the moment, it feels like there are a million things hitting me.

Chinese football fans left without a national team to support at the World Cup have turned to referee Ma Ning -- nicknamed "Card Master" for his enthusiasm in booking players -- as the country's representative for the tournament.
With China's team once again failing to qualify, the 46-year-old Ma has emerged as an unlikely viral star after he shared photos on social media last month of him jetting off to the finals in North America.
A hashtag related to Ma's trip to the tournament has received more than 3.6 million views on social media platform Weibo, while the referee's RedNote account has gained 195,000 followers in less than two weeks.
Ma has also appeared in collaborations with brands such as laptop maker Lenovo, electronics manufacturer Hisense and dairy product firm Mengniu.
Ma's first post on the RedNote app showed him drawing a little red book from his referee's front pocket in a play on the platform's Chinese name.
