It's clear that the Princess of Wales has entered her autumn style era. Now that October is upon us, the 44-year-old has embraced the seasonal change with a plethora of darker-toned items.
Last week, Kate hosted a secret tea party for Three Peaks Challenge participants and their families at Windsor Castle. The royal looked elegant in a chocolate brown-coloured belted dress by the famously English heritage label Burberry. The structured fit-and-flare silhouette offered a clean, monochromatic look.
A new item in Kate's wardrobe, the £1,760 tailored dress is cut in a fit-and-flare silhouette that's cinched in with a striking, gold twist-lock belt. It also has slip pockets, which Kate was spotted appearing to use at certain moments. The dress appears to be bespoke as the sleeves are three-quarter length, whereas the frock on the shelves featured capped sleeves.

A year earlier, Kate wore the very same dress, but in black. During the German State visit in 2025, the mother of three was pictured viewing exhibits from the Royal Collection relating to Germany in the Green Drawing Room at Windsor Castle, alongside her husband, Prince William.

Elena Rybakina is the new US Open champion, having dismantled Aryna Sabalenka in the final with alarming precision.
Aside from a brief lapse in concentration at the end of the second set, the eventual victor was flawless throughout.
Her ball-striking constantly kept the top seed on the back foot, and given the dominant power Aryna Sabalenka usually exhibits over her opponents, this was particularly startling.
It's therefore no surprise that the 28-year-old cut such a frustrated figure throughout the match, hitting ***** , tossing her racket, and shouting and gesturing desperately towards her box.
However, it's what Sabalenka did in the very last game of the entire match that really caught Laura Robson's eye.

Block has applied to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for a national trust bank charter, the payments company behind Square and Cash App said on Tuesday.
Builders Bank & Trust would be uninsured and non-depository, taking no deposits and making no loans. Its business would be custody of Bitcoin and other digital ***** ets, executing customer buy and sell orders on a riskless principal basis, and stablecoin settlement.
Block has run digital ***** et services for about eight years under more than 50 state money transmitter and virtual currency licenses, the application says, handling around $10.7 billion in Bitcoin transaction volume in 2025 and serving about two million monthly crypto users through Cash App by the second quarter. A federal charter, Block says, would let it support those activities "through a consistent national framework as the business scales."
Builders Bank would be headquartered in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, with no branches. All five proposed directors live elsewhere, and Block has asked the OCC to waive the rule requiring one to live within 100 miles. Lee Woolley, Block's digital ***** et strategy lead and a former Northern Trust and BNY Mellon executive, would chair it and serve as chief executive.
Dorsey himself is not among the organizers, directors or senior executives, and appears in the filing only as Block's co-founder. The business plan and capital figures went in as confidential exhibits, and the bank cannot open unless the OCC approves.

BEIJING, Aug 18 (Reuters) - China's humanoid robot makers have spent the past two years dazzling investors with machines that can breakdance, throw punches and even set marathon records. This week in Beijing, they face a tougher test in proving their inventions can work reliably ‌to generate economic value.
More than 300 companies are expected at the World Robot Conference from Wednesday through Sunday, showcasing over 2,000 exhibits and launching more than ‌150 products, according to Beijing authorities.
The conference coincides with the Shanghai stock market debut of Unitree, one of the world's largest humanoid robot makers by sales volume, after an initial public offering that was more than 8,000 times oversubscribed by retail investors.
Unitree founder ****** Xingxing will address the conference's main forum on Thursday on the next decade of the humanoid industry, according to the Beijing municipal government.

Former Colorado football player Shilo Sanders is seeking to have the written transcript of his coming bankruptcy trial sealed from public view, along with any exhibits displayed at the trial where Sanders hopes to escape more than $11 million in debt, according to a new case document filed Aug. 3.
The filing says Sanders, son of Colorado football coach Deion Sanders, does not oppose keeping the trial proceedings public but wants to seal any written record of it in large part because the case contains information relating to when Sanders was a minor at age 15.
Attorneys for USA TODAY filed a motion to intervene in the Sanders' bankruptcy case July 22 − a request that seeks greater transparency in this high-profile case after several developments in it recently were conducted in secret, including a pretrial court hearing July 14.
On July 31, Sanders' attorney, Victor Vital, filed his response to that request under seal, keeping its contents from public view. USA TODAY's attorneys, who have access to the response, replied with an Aug. 3 court filing that references what Vital proposed.
USA TODAY's filing notes that Sanders's response does not oppose keeping the Aug. 31 trial proceedings open to the public "but buries the fact that his proposed order would seal the complete trial transcript and any exhibits submitted as evidence at trial."

Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland is entering his second season with the franchise and has momentum heading into this fall.
Loveland had a strong rookie season, totaling 58 receptions for 713 yards with six touchdowns. Loveland was particularly dangerous in the playoffs, including a massive performance over the Green Bay Packers in a 31-27 win in the wild card round. Loveland had eight receptions for 137 yards and was the first rookie tight end to have eight or more receptions and over 100 receiving yards in a playoff game in NFL history.
Loveland and Bears quarterback Caleb Williams developed a strong rapport in 2025, and the chemistry the duo exhibits has Williams believing Loveland can be the best at his position.
"He can become the best tight end in the league," Williams said on Wednesday. "But stats, and us going out there and proving it, is what it is going to take. And to be able to do that, we've got to put in work. We've got to build a connection, hang out inside and outside the building, have tough conversations or have open communication throughout the year and throughout camp. So, it's going to be exciting. It's going to be fun. He's a target to throw to."

The director of the country's premier American history museum said she has no regrets about any of the museum's exhibits during her tenure after an expert confronted her with a "shocking" display that he said smeared Founding Father Benjamin Franklin.
Smithsonian National Museum of American History Director Anthea Hartig faced intense questioning from lawmakers during two Capitol Hill hearings this week. The hearings followed a White House Domestic Policy Council report accusing the museum of using taxpayer dollars and its status as a world-renowned institution to advance a "radical activist ideology."
During a House hearing Tuesday, Heritage Foundation expert Mike Gonzalez testified that a multiyear special exhibit, "The Electric Dr. Franklin," included a display that "pondered whether he had ever done experiments, electrical electroshock on indentured servants or slaves."

Gonzalez testified that the display included this suggestion "without producing any evidence whatsoever," which he called "shocking."

Thousands of baseball fans turned out Saturday for the opening of MLB All-Star Village at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, where interactive exhibits, games and attractions welcomed visitors as part of MLB All-Star Week.
The four-day event opened to the public at 10 a.m. and quickly drew crowds, with organizers reporting more than 5,000 fans in the first hour. This year's theme highlights Philadelphia neighborhoods and includes activities designed for fans of all ages.
Among the visitors was 8-year-old Ashton, who smiled for photos in his baseball jersey while taking part in attractions that allowed fans to experience the excitement of the MLB Draft.
"Great scene. As soon as we walked in, everything is super eye-catching, and it just gives the boys an opportunity to fall in love more with the game of baseball," said Andrew Yannarella of Perkasie, Ashton's dad.
Organizers said creating activities for the entire family is a key goal of the event.

As part of its ongoing belief that the rights of white people are in peril and require government protection, the White House earlier this week released a 162-page report accusing the National Museum of American History of engaging in "anti-White activism", declaring that exhibits at the various Smithsonian museums were prepared by "people who don't want you to love your country". Two days later, a group of nearly a dozen Republican lawmakers led by Texas representative August Pfluger threatened to send the Department of Justice after the WNBA unless it makes itself "accountable" for presumably not protecting embattled Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark against the physicality of game's Black players. Pfluger implied hard fouls against Clark "may be racially motivated", and threatened a civil rights lawsuit against the WNBA on Clark's behalf could be an option.
The Pfluger letter represents the third time in less than a month the Trump administration and its loyalists have interfered in sports, twice using it as a front in its ongoing culture war, putting the Justice Department on high alert against anything it considers to be anti-white, anti-straight, anti-Christian. Enlisting Clark is pitting her against her own teammates and the culture of her league, but maybe the government believes she's already there.
Related: Republicans ask WNBA to protect Caitlin Clark from possible 'racially motivated' attacks
In a sense, time is running out on Clark. She has spent the last few days centering her public comments on the toxicity of social media, but the entirety of her five years as a national superstar deftly avoiding any direct link between her vague personal politics and the anti-Black portions of her fan base who loudly claim her. The government implying she needs federal protection from her Black opponents further forces her hand to speak declaratively about being positioned as a target by her sport.
It is yet another step in a dystopian continuum. In June, the Trump DOJ announced it would investigate if Major League Baseball's Pride Night discriminated against Christian players. Trump last week called Fifa head Gianni Infantino to have a one-game suspension against by US national men's soccer team forward Folarin Balogun rescinded before Team USA's quarter-final loss to Belgium.

Taylor Frankie Paul's ex-husband, Tate Paul, has filed for a restraining order against the embattled reality star known for her time on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and her shelved season of The Bachelorette.
According to Utah court records reviewed by Entertainment Weekly, a motion for a temporary restraining order was filed Tuesday in the former couple's yearslong divorce case; Tate also filed an affidavit/declaration with five accompanying exhibits. The court documents are under seal.
According to TMZ, which first reported the news, sources close to Tate told the outlet he is seeking sole custody of their two children: Indy, 8, and Ocean, 6.
EW has reached out to representatives for Taylor, 32, and Tate, 34, for comment.
Tate's filing comes the same day PEOPLE reported that Taylor recently did a voluntary stint in a rehab facility. The move came "at the recommendation of her doctor," a source close to Taylor told the outlet, adding that the reality star is "committed to getting better."
