Lady Gaga showed off her 10-carat engagement ring in a makeup tutorial she posted on Instagram.
The pop star and her fiancé Michael Polansky recently became parents.
She confirmed her engagement to Polansky in 2024.
Lady Gaga gave fans a glimpse of her at-home glam in a new Instagram video. The Grammy winner, 40, showed off her makeup routine—and her massive engagement ring—weeks after she was confirmed to have welcomed her first child with fiancé Michael Polansky.
Gaga began her video bare-faced before applying several products from her own beauty brand, Haus Labs. Her 10-carat engagement ring, which is worth approximately $1 million, was front and center throughout her tutorial. Featuring an oval-cut diamond set in 18kt white and rose gold, the impressive sparkler was designed by Sofia Jewelry, according to People.

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.

Much of President Donald Trump's second term has focused on changes to the nation's capital.
But his ambitions to remake the physical architecture of the presidency transcend Washington: Trump wants to transform his West Palm Beach golf club into a presidential retreat modeled after Camp David.
Subscribe to The Post Most newsletter for the most important and interesting stories from The Washington Post.
The plan calls for a parcel of the private club to be designated a permanent, official sanctuary for foreign leaders and future U.S. presidents, designed to host international summits and house presidents when they take vacations in Florida, according to a proposal presented to Palm Beach County officials by Trump International Golf Club's legal counsel. Future presidents would also be offered comped memberships to the Trump club.
"Just as Camp David, Windsor Castle, or the Elysee Palace are known worldwide, so too will the Presidential Golf Course in Palm Beach County," Harvey Oyer, a lawyer representing the Trump course, wrote to the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners in a letter last month. Oyer asked the county, which owns the property the course is on, to provide a piece of the land to the federal government, and he promised Trump would pay for the construction of a presidential residence and facilities on that land.

Social Security acts as a financial safety net for many retirees, but it's not enough for most. These government checks were never designed to cover all living expenses. Social Security is a supplemental income source that can keep up with expenses if you combine it with savings.
That's why many people are encouraged to save up before retirement, and the math proves it. Your life in retirement will be very different if you just live on Social Security compared to having $500,000 in savings alongside your government checks. Let's break it all down below.
The average monthly Social Security benefit for retired workers as of mid-2026 was $2,085.98, according to the Social Security Administration (SSA). At that rate, you will not pay any taxes on Social Security, ******* uming you do not have any other income sources. You won't even have to worry about state income taxes.
However, that's where the advantages end if you rely exclusively on Social Security. Per Apartment List data, the national median rent was $1,390 in August. That median rent leaves you with less than $700 for groceries, transportation, healthcare, utilities, insurance, debt and miscellaneous purchases.
For most people, the average Social Security is not enough. High-earners can max out their benefits at $5,181 per month if they earned a high salary for most or all of their 35 highest-earning years and wait until 70 to tap into Social Security, per the SSA. That monthly amount offers more room for financial flexibility, but the average is insufficient for most people unless their spouse earns a similar check or they live very frugally.

Louis Vuitton presented its Spring 2027 collection, designed by Nicolas Ghesquière, at the Cour Carrée du Louvre in Paris, and as always, I noticed a few trends in the front row.
Emma Stone and Ana de Armas tend to play it relatively safe with their Louis Vuitton front row looks, so both were welcome surprises. Emma's electric-blue tailoring had a stronger silhouette than we usually see from her, while Ana went tougher in black leather with cut-outs and buckled detailing. Two welcome changes of pace. Did either woman pull her look off for you?
The front row had plenty of New York representation, with Jennifer Connelly joining Keri Russell, Chloë Sevigny and the Haim sisters.
There's a lot going on with Jennifer Connelly's look, including some seriously divisive lace-up boots, but on Jennifer it works. It always works. She has never played it safe with Louis Vuitton, and I don't ever want her to.
Keri Russell will always serve up a sophisticated, sculptural point of view, and she found the perfect Louis Vuitton look. The only thing not working for me is the monogram bag. I wish it had been black.

EPR Properties (NYSE: EPR) is a company focused on properties designed for experiential and educational purposes. One of the benefits of owning its stock has been its dividend, which has increased for four consecutive years.
EPR is a real estate investment trust (REIT), which means it must pay out at least 90% of its taxable net income as dividends to retain that status. That makes it highly likely that payouts will continue. As the dividend has become more generous, it might surprise investors how little it takes to generate more than $1,000 in annual dividends in this stock.

Working with whole shares, 269 shares purchased for $15,182 will generate $1,001 in annual dividends.
This amounts to an annual dividend of $3.72 per share with a yield of about 6.6%. That is far above the S&P 500 average of 1.1%. Moreover, it is one of the few stocks paying monthly dividends, which might make it especially appealing to income investors.

From brunettes to bangs and graying locs, the stars are showing off major hair transformations while front row at Paris Fashion Week.
Nicole Kidman, while attending Chanel's ready-to-wear spring/summer 2027 show in Paris on Oct. 5, debuted a new look that lets her typical blonde curtain bangs fall even lower, which in some shots nearly conceal her eyes from view.
Kidman, 59, paired the look with a tweed gray Chanel blazer dress and black tights. She was joined by 15-year-old daughter Faith Kidman Urban, a day after her older daughter, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, 18, walked the runway for Valentino.
Lisa Bonet popped up at the Celine spring/summer 2027 collection show with a more dramatic transformation, marking her first public appearance in four years by showing off her full-on gray locs. Her light gray naturally loose curls peeked through at the top, with her longer, deeper gray locs underneath.
Bonet, 58, spoke to Harper's Bazaar about the collection, designed by Michael Rider, in which she complimented the "freshness" and "relevance" Rider is bringing to fashion.

Dua Lipa made her first appearance at Paris Fashion Week this year, and it was for none other than the Chanel spring 2027 show on Monday. For the event, the singer opted for shoes that encapsulate two ongoing shoe trends: the two-tone trend and the garden and floral details trend.

The Venice Film Festival may revolve around cinema, but fashion has become an essential part of its annual spectacle. The 2026 edition once again transformed the Lido into a showcase for couture, sharp tailoring and unexpected styling. Stars moved between timeless black gowns, shimmering embellishments, relaxed suits and bursts of bright color. Some relied on archival fashion, while others arrived in custom creations designed specifically for the occasion. Together, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Amal Clooney, Rooney and Kate Mara, Robert Pattinson, Suki Waterhouse and Pamela Anderson demonstrated just how varied festival dressing can be.
Jury president Maggie Gyllenhaal established a sophisticated tone with several dramatic black looks. For the opening, she selected an all black Celine ensemble featuring an off the shoulder twisted bodice. Another memorable appearance came in archival Armani Privé from the Fall 2015 collection. Rich velvet, sharply sculpted shoulders and crystal detailing around the plunging neckline gave the older design a fresh presence on the carpet.
Amal Clooney also embraced black with a custom Tom Ford creation by Haider Ackermann. Her appearance demonstrated the continuing appeal of streamlined eveningwear, with careful construction and texture doing much of the visual work. Rather than competing with the surroundings through excessive decoration, the gown relied on an elegant silhouette and refined details.
Sisters Rooney and Kate Mara offered two very different interpretations of evening glamour while promoting Bucking Fastard. Rooney remained close to her famously minimalist aesthetic in a black satin Louis Vuitton dress. A sleek fitted upper section expanded dramatically near the hem through gathers and voluminous fabric. Kate moved in the opposite direction with Armani Privé, choosing a black and white gown featuring a sparkling skirt and pearl embellished bodice.
Menswear also provided a change of pace. Robert Pattinson appeared in a relaxed white pinstripe suit while promoting Primetime, pairing it with a crisp shirt and striped tie. The slightly oversized proportions gave traditional tailoring a lighter feeling suited to Venice. Suki Waterhouse accompanied him in a pale green Saint Laurent lace two piece, bringing a softer color and delicate texture to the event.

Greta Lee stripped everything back this week while in Paris, stepping out for a dinner in a Jil Sander two-piece ensemble.
On Monday (September 28), the Morning Show actor turned up to Tiffany & Co.'s Jean Schlumberger dinner at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in a monochrome fit that left people doing a double take.
The black satin pencil skirt and a silky ***** on-down shirt, designed by Jil Sander creative director Simone Bellotti, was deliberately quiet and cut back so the jewelry could carry the evening.
As or the bling, Lee wore the Bird on a Rock by Tiffany & Co. Wings pavé necklace in platinum set with diamonds, high jewelry offset against the flat black of the Jil Sander separates.

Dakota Johnson was a sight to behold in a Yana Matkivski set as she posed for promo ahead of her "Saturday Night Live" hosting debut. Recently, the actress stepped out in New York City, embodying minimalist glamour as always. Photos and videos of her from the promo shoot have already made the rounds online.
For the outing, Dakota Johnson turned heads in a stunning Yana Matkivski two-piece set. The sage-green satin top featured a structured, high-neck bodice designed with sharp cap sleeves that tapered cleanly into a fitted torso. The fabric converged at the hip into a cropped hem, framing the waistband of the matching skirt beneath it.
Furthermore, the Helen Mini Skirt revealed an exceptionally short hem that sat high on her thighs. Extending from the waistband, the satin fabric skimmed smoothly down her hips, falling softly over her legs as she walked.
The skirt also featured a fitted, straight-cut silhouette with no added volume or pleating. It hugged her hips before ending in a clean, minimalist line above the knee. The pairing blended structured tailoring with soft, fluid satin.
Johnson paired the set with serious sparkle, opting for Marlo Laz's Natasha Diamond Bracelet, a two-tone piece lined with round diamonds, priced at $26,000. On her finger, she added Jessica McCormack's 0.90ct Diamond Golden Snake Ring, valued at $33,500. Meanwhile, her beauty styling leaned into minimalist glamour to complement the muted tones of the set.

Ana de Armas brought dazzling high-fashion glamour to Paris as she attended the prestigious La Légion d'Honneur ceremony. The actress captivated onlookers by stepping out in an archival Louis Vuitton creation by Nicolas Ghesquière. Styled by Samantha McMillen, her shimmering look seamlessly blended rock-and-roll glam with classic French sophistication.
Ana de Armas selected a striking black sequin micro minidress from the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2015 runway collection. Designed by creative director Nicolas Ghesquière, the archival garment featured a high rounded collar and structured shoulders.
Intricate lace-like sequin patterns covered the entire fabric, shimmering with every slight movement. Fitted long sleeves balanced the ultra-short hemline that barely skimmed her thighs. Thousands of delicate black sequins caught the room's warm lights, creating a dramatic metallic sheen.
Her expert beauty team complemented the bold dress with effortless styling choices. Stylist Samantha McMillen chose the vintage piece, while Owen Gould styled Ana's brunette hair in soft waves. Makeup artist Charlotte Prevel completed the look with a luminous complexion, subtle liner, and nude gloss.
The actress posed indoors before stepping out to the official Paris event. Standing near a tall glass door, she looked straight into the camera lens with calm confidence. Her reflection behind her showed off the snug fit and detailed craftsmanship from every angle.

Madeleine White is sharing the design for her daughter Juliette's room after welcoming her early at 33 weeks with husband Andrew Fedyk in June 2026
The hand-painted mural includes family pets, beloved storybook characters and a DJ bunny requested by Fedyk
White partnered with Minted to create the special trundle bed plus storage designed to grow with her daughter
After months of taking her followers through the process of custom-designing her nursery for her daughter, content creator Madeleine White is unveiling the finished product.

Following the arrival of her baby girl, Juliette July, with husband Andrew Fedyk (also known as the DJ Loud Luxury) in June 2026, the popular creator has partnered with Minted to design her baby girl's ***** e. Speaking exclusively with PEOPLE, White shares the behind-the-scenes design process for the newborn's room — which looks straight out of a storybook.

White shares that the nursery's inspiration stemmed from a dream she had had since the moment she found out she was having a little girl. Inspired by a "beautiful woodland animal mural wallpaper" she had stumbled across on Pinterest, the rest of the nursery began to take shape.
White sourced pieces from all over — including her travels, sentimental pieces from her family and more — to curate Juliette's perfect ***** e.

Miranda Kerr was a sight to behold in a Stella McCartney cutout dress as she strutted down the runway at PFW. The Australian supermodel returned to the runway after a decade-long hiatus, embodying elegance as always. Photos and videos of her from the September 30 show have taken over the internet.
At PFW, Miranda Kerr turned heads with her return to the runway after a decade in a stunning Stella McCartney cutout dress. The ethereal sage green piece featured a padded, cap-sleeved bodice designed with strong, architectural shoulders that tapered sharply into fine vertical pleating across the chest. The bodice converged at the center of the waist into a knot detail, framing symmetrical side cutouts that revealed her midriff.
Furthermore, the back revealed a low-cut design with a gathered detail across the lower shoulder blades. Extending from the central waist knot was a floor-sweeping sash that flowed down the front of the skirt, pooling softly over her feet as she walked.
The skirt also featured horizontal ruching around the hips. It hugged her silhouette before falling into a fluid, straight column shape. The piece blended sculptural tailoring with soft, fluid draping.
Kerr paired the dress with metallic silver wedge sandals featuring transparent straps. The footwear matched the light color palette while elevating her frame. In her hand, she carried a textured, snake-print hard-shell clutch. Meanwhile, her beauty styling leaned into minimalist glamor to complement the serene tones of the dress.

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

The U.S. government has revealed a new, redesigned passport and announced plans to dramatically modernize the way Americans can apply for one.
Speaking at President Donald Trump's America.gov Event on September 29, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio demonstrated a new passport application process that he said U.S. citizens can "complete entirely from home" and showed off a "beautiful" new U.S. passport that’s expected to roll out in 2028.
The changes are part of the Trump administration's new AI-powered government services platform, America.gov, which he launched on Tuesday, touting it as a "single digital point of entry" designed to simplify how Americans access government services.

Hailey Bieber paid homage to Carolyn Bessette in the Narciso Rodriguez slip dress that Bessette wore for her and John F. Kennedy Jr.'s rehearsal dinner.
The champagne-colored dress and gown Bessette wore for her wedding day were both designed by Rodriguez, whom Bessette met while working at Calvin Klein.
"Someone I loved very much asked me to make the most important dress of her life," Rodriguez said in 2018 of the wedding gown.
Hailey Bieber's latest fashion statement came straight from 1996.
The model wore the champagne-colored slip dress that Carolyn Bessette wore for her and John F. Kennedy Jr.'s rehearsal dinner on Sept. 28 while in Paris for Fashion Week — almost 30 years since Bessette and JFK Jr. tied the knot.

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."
CBK meet HRB. While in Paris for the Spring/Summer 2027 shows, Hailey Bieber celebrated fashion week with a piece of fashion history—stepping out in one of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's most-recognizable looks.
Sourced by London-based curator My Runway Archive and styled by Dani Michelle, the white midi dress seen on Bieber was first worn by her It girl predecessor during her rehearsal dinner with John F. Kennedy Jr. And while it's typically Bessette-Kennedy's minimalist bias-cut silk slip wedding dress that gets all the recognition, this backless number was a quieter star of the weekend—with its sleeveless silhouette, low V neckline, and shimmering transparent fabric.
The piece (see here) was designed by CBK's longtime friend and collaborator, Narciso Rodriguez, for his Spring/Summer 1997 collection for Cerruti. The house's then-creative director first met his muse while they were both working at Calvin Klein—him as a designer, her as a publicist—and went on to design several of her most-beloved looks, including the aforementioned wedding dress, which helped kick-start his solo career.
In fact, their creative relationship was so central to Bessette-Kennedy's story that Ryan Murphy gave it ample air time on Love Story, even dreaming up a dramatized sequence in which the two had to frantically sew her into the dress last minute, which Rodriguez has since clarified was a fictional addition.

On September 17, Coherent Corp. (NYSE:COHR) announced an upgraded Pluggable Optical Line System that covers the full C-band and fits in a compact QSFP module, the same slot ordinary transceivers use. That is a lot of networking gear shrunk into a plug, and it follows a quarter of 34% revenue growth. Here is what the launch means, and where the stock's story gets harder to read.
Start with what the product does. The upgraded system can pack 32 wavelengths onto a single pair of fibers, which Coherent says adds up to as much as 25.6Tbps of traffic on links running 2km to 200km. It is designed for the latest 800G coherent optics, and it configures itself, handling link setup and laser safety without a technician tuning each connection. Coherent also says the system is generally available and already shipping in high volume, in 400G and 800G versions that work with existing network setups. Madhu Krishnaswamy, who runs the company's telecom transport unit, describes the goal as easing the usual trade-off between raw performance and operational simplicity.
The launch also sits on top of a business that is already moving. On August 12, Coherent reported results for its fiscal fourth quarter, which ended June 30: revenue of $2.05 billion, up 34% from a year earlier. Non-GAAP earnings per share rose to $1.74 from $1.00, and CEO Jim Anderson noted that for the full year, that measure grew more than twice as fast as revenue. Management guided to revenue of $2.2 billion to $2.4 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2027, and Anderson says AI data centers are increasingly moving from copper to optical links.
Now look at the two versions of profit. Coherent's non-GAAP earnings came to $1.74 per share, but under GAAP the figure was $1.19. The gap comes from items management leaves out, including stock-based pay, amortization on acquired intangibles, and restructuring and integration costs. Operating margin shows it more clearly, at 21.8% on a non-GAAP basis and 12.4% under GAAP. Some of those costs are non-cash, but they are real, and anyone anchoring on the higher figure is skipping them.
Then there is how much weight this launch can carry. The announcement puts no sales figure on the product, so its contribution to a company that booked $2.05 billion in a quarter cannot be sized from what has been published. The bullish story also rests on management's own read of where AI networks are headed, and on a capacity build-out that CFO Sherri Luther says gets priority in spending. Money spent on capacity only pays off if the demand management describes keeps arriving.

On September 9, 2026, Signet Jewelers Limited (NYSE:SIG) reported second-quarter net profit of more than $52 million, reversing a net loss of over $9 million a year earlier, with adjusted earnings per share of $2.19 beating ***** yst estimates of $1.72 by a wide margin. It sent shares up as much as 24% in trading.
The parent of Kay Jewelers, Zales, and Jared also raised its full-year profit guidance for the second time this fiscal year. It also extended its consumer credit partnership with Bread Financial through 2035, a deal it said includes new profit-sharing terms expected to make more than $1 billion in incremental value over time.
Signet Jewelers Limited (NYSE:SIG) is showing demand improvement across its core jewelry brands. Same-store sales increased 2.2% in the second quarter, beating Wall Street's 1.9% expectation. Management reported positive comparable sales across all three months of the quarter. Performance also improved across Kay, Zales, Jared, and Blue Nile. It shows the recovery extends beyond a single brand or temporary sales spike.
Margin expansion is allowing Signet to make substantially stronger earnings despite limited revenue growth. Adjusted operating margin expanded 140 basis points to 7%, while adjusted EPS reached $2.19, well above ***** ysts' $1.74 estimate. Stronger bridal and timepiece sales, tighter inventory management, and operating improvements helped Signet expand profitability. Redesigned Kay and Jared websites provide additional opportunities to back up digital sales.
Signet's higher earnings outlook and shareholder returns solidify the investment case. The company raised full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $10.45-$12.15 versus $9.20-$11.00 and plans a $125 million accelerated share repurchase program. Signet also extended its consumer-credit partnership with Bread Financial through 2035. It added improved technology and data ***** ytics while supporting customer financing and marketing capabilities over the long term.

The transition toward renewable energy is creating massive opportunities for infrastructure providers. Eos Energy Enterprises (NASDAQ:EOSE) and GE Vernova (NYSE:GEV) represent two distinct ways to play this trend in 2026.
Eos focuses on specialized zinc-based batteries for long-duration energy storage. GE Vernova is a diversified giant that services a massive portion of the world's electricity grid. Comparing these two helps clarify whether you prefer a high-growth disruptor or an established power leader.
Eos Energy Enterprises produces aqueous zinc batteries designed as a safer, scalable alternative to lithium-ion. It operates primarily within the industrial stocks **** e, targeting utilities and commercial developers. Customer concentration like this adds a layer of risk to the business, as two clients accounted for approximately 70% of total revenue in 2025.
In FY 2025, revenue reached approximately $114.2 million. This represents growth of nearly 631.8% compared to the prior fiscal year. The company reported a pre-tax net loss of roughly $969.6 million, resulting in a negative net margin of approximately 849.1%.
As of its December 2025 balance sheet, the company had a debt-to-equity ratio of -1.0x. This value indicates that total liabilities exceed shareholder equity.

Bloom Energy Corporation (NYSE:BE) garnered significant investor attention after it unveiled a new 800V DC-native fuel-cell power architecture on September 16, designed to supply continuous direct current to the next generation of AI data centers.
These solid-oxide fuel cells can generate continuous 800V DC power natively, rather than producing AC power that then has to be converted into DC that AI computing equipment ultimately consumes. This potentially removes several conversion stages, such as transformers and switchgear, thus lowering capital cost and energy losses.
Bloom claims that its technology can cut non-compute capital expenditures for a 1 GW data center by $3.6 billion, or 27%, and lower five-year total cost of ownership by $5.5 billion, or 9%, compared to traditional AC-based infrastructure.
With this technology, Bloom Energy is targeting one of the biggest bottlenecks in the ongoing AI boom – securing large amounts of reliable power quickly and economically. If 800V DC becomes widely adopted across AI data centers, the company will benefit not only from the soaring power demand, but also from a broader shift in how that power is generated and delivered.
Bloom Energy pointed to Nvidia's planned adoption of 800V DC architecture beginning with Rubin Ultra and Kyber systems as an indication of where data center power infrastructure is heading. In its 2026 Mid-Year Data Center Power Report, Bloom claimed that data center leaders expect DC-based architectures to account for 58% of new deployments by 2030, potentially creating a significant market for technologies designed around direct-current power delivery.

Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) just unleashed rival consumer AI agents (Google's family-focused CC, a shared agent supporting up to six family members, and Meta's single-user Muse, aiming for higher autonomy across a user's digital life, including commerce), and the retirement-focused investor writing one check today needs a clear answer: which mega-cap deserves the slot?
Both stocks are pouring tens of billions into AI infrastructure. Both consumer AI agents (not just chatbots) are designed to take real actions on a user's behalf rather than only answering questions. However, CC is a family-oriented productivity and logistics agent tightly tied to the Google ecosystem. Muse is a more general-purpose personal agent aiming for higher autonomy across a user's digital life, including commerce. They compete in the emerging "AI agent that actually does things" category, but target different use cases and user models.
