Birthday weekends rarely look this magical, and Kate Hudson can agree on that. The actress has shared a photo carousel of her daughter's birthday from a theme park celebration, and the smiles are impossible to miss. Wands at the ready, robes swishing, and a birthday cake waiting back home, the day had it all.
Mom to three kids, Kate Hudson celebrated her daughter's birthday with a weekend outing at the Universal Studios theme park. She posted a carousel on Instagram with a short caption. She wrote, "Best weekend celebrating the best girl!!! Thank you unistudios for the 'best ride ever!'"
Birthday girl, Rani Rose, made the most of every stop, grinning happily at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. In one short clip, the 8-year-old stood in a dimly lit shop with a wand in her hand. In a recreation of the wand scene in the "Harry Potter" movies, Rani's hair glowed in the spotlight when she got her wand.
Another photo showed Rani with her friend in matching Gryffindor robes with maroon and gold lining and striped headbands. Both pointed their wands straight at the camera, grinning. Elsewhere, a Hogwarts street sign towered over a cobbled square, with Rani posing underneath.
The day was not all spells. Hudson's carousel also showed kids posing outside Super Nintendo World. A wide shot captured the Mario-themed plaza under a bright blue sky. A group selfie from a wooden ride car showed Hudson with her daughter beaming behind the camera.

Hasan Piker came to the defense of children's entertainer Ms. Rachel after Fox News warned parents against her content, blasting the network for finding "two people who don't want children to be slaughtered" unacceptable.
The drama started on Fox News' "The Big Weekend Show," when contributor Tomi Lahren weighed in on Ms. Rachel (also known as Rachel Anne Accurso)'s past collaborations with left-wing figures, including New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
"I'd also say this person here on your screen is Hasan Piker in overalls and a stupid headband," Lahren noted during the conversation. "So, if that's what you want your kids to be watching, if that's what you want to be forming their ideas and their world view on, by all means."
As Lahren went on, she took aim at Ms. Rachel's appearance, adding, "There she looks age appropriate in that one photo."
"Listen, you can be a leftie and you can be like, a kids' educator, right? And you can be like, 'I'm a Democrat,' whatever," she continued. "But when you go so far as to advocate for things like Hamas, Palestine and you cloud people's judgement on what exactly a genocide is and who's to blame and you talk about Israel then you are not a children's educator anymore. You're a political activist. Like I said, Hasan Piker in a headband and overalls. So, parents, if that's what you want, I guess keep watching Ms. Rachel."

You can always rely on Fashion Month to churn out the trends, not just for apparel, but for hair, too. Over the last few weeks, the runway has given us sculptural frizz, combover-esque bangs, creative crimping, and countless other looks that make you wonder whether all of the lead hairstylists have colluded to make your morning routine a little more difficult. But behold: the trend we didn't see coming… back. In the ultimate model-off-duty moment, Gigi Hadid was seen wearing a humble zig-zag headband—the quintessential late-'90s and early-2000s hair accessory.
After walking in Miu Miu's Spring/Summer 2027 show on October 4, Hadid was spotted leaving the venue with her long, blonde hair pushed back by a tortoiseshell scalloped headband. Also known as a shark-tooth or comb headband (depending on who you ask, where they grew up, and how old they are), the style has those unmistakable wavy teeth that grip the hair while keeping the face free of any stray tendrils.
Hadid wore it with an otherwise wonderfully uncomplicated look: a loose, white **** on-down left open over a white bra, jeans cinched with a brown leather belt, and white mesh ballet flats decorated with tiny floral embroidery. She carried a brown Miu Miu bag, making the whole thing feel less like a carefully engineered Paris Fashion Week outfit and more like someone running errands after class in 2002—if that person happened to be a supermodel.

Slow Sundays in autumn call for woodland walks, and Meghan Markle is clearly embracing British country life after sharing heartwarming family footage on Instagram - her first as a UK-based royal.
The video featured her husband, Prince Harry, and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Lilibet looked so sweet as she was filmed determinedly riding her bike.
The redheaded royal had her fiery mane swept up in a bun as she confidently rode a bike that had pink tassels on the handlebars while her big brother Archie ran alongside her.

Naomi Osaka is popular for her eye-catching outfits at major tennis tournaments, and her latest look impressed NBA royalty, Allen Iverson. She came to the court in braids, wearing a headband and a shooting sleeve, looking like a young Iverson. She even shared high praise for AI in her media session, garnering a response from the legend himself.
Talking to the press about the inspiration behind her outfit and AI's impact on fashion, Osaka said:
"I think he's also someone that I look up to a lot, because he's kind of done a lot in fashion, whether it's on purpose or not, but he's shifted the way that NBA players dress. I also think the whole conversation around clothes in sports and also just expressing yourself through style, I feel like he's someone that I look up to in that regard."
The media person also asked if she'd had an opportunity to talk to Iverson, to which she responded, "zero, right now." However, the 11-time NBA All-Star eventually noticed the tribute and was touched, and thanked the tennis sensation with a post on Instagram:
"Wow, what a[n] honor! BIG FAN can't wait to meet you. naomiosaka"

The Naomi Osaka fashion show has touched down in New York.
The tennis superstar had another grand entrance for her tunnel walk at the US Open on Monday, Aug. 31 at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York. This time, her muse was Allen Iverson.
Ahead of her first-round match against Anastasia Zakharova, Osaka walked onto the court at Arthur Ashe Stadium wearing an asymmetrical light gray burnout hoodie and a while tulle skirt. She wore her hair in braids like Iverson's signature style with an athletic headband and also had a black athletic sleeve on one arm and a red one on the other. The look was made by Who Decides War and overseen by celebrity image architect Law Roach, who is also Zendaya's stylist.
After the match started, Osaka's social media team shared an Instagram gallery of a grunge photo shoot where the two-time U.S. Open champion is modeling the look in front of a bridge. Close-up photos reveal newspaper clippings woven into the hoodie. The caption says simply, "The Answer."
Before the match, Osaka told the media about how she is inspired by the NBA and its fashion icon. Iverson drew criticism during his playing days for wearing oversized clothes and showcasing his tattoos. The league created a dress code in 2005 after he was gaining popularity.

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tarik Skubal looked comfortable sitting in the first-base dugout in the stadium he called home for his first seven MLB seasons – minus a few inconveniences that come from playing for the visiting team.
"I've never been on this side of the clubhouse. So when I first got here, I'm like, 'which way is the field?'" he said. "It's much farther down there. There's a lot more steps going on, but I guess it's good for your health."
The setting was familiar, but the threads were not. Skubal wore his usual headband and sleeveless hoodie, but both were dipped in Dodger blue instead of stamped with the Olde English D. The night before, he pitched six brilliant innings in the Dodgers' 2-1 win over the Detroit Tigers, returning to Comerica Park less than a month after the Tigers traded him to Los Angeles at the deadline for three prospects.
Skubal didn't have a say in where he went. But based on his interaction with the media before Detroit's game with the Dodgers on Saturday, Aug. 29, he looks to have landed in a situation he really likes.
"[The Dodgers] have won the last two World Series for a reason. It's not a mistake," he said. "You watch [first baseman Freddie Freeman's] ground ball routine, he does the same thing every single day. I think those routines matter, and they translate to the field, stuff they do in the cage, the way pitchers prepare ... no little thing is overlooked, and I think that's what makes good teams really good."

Raul Jimenez might be North America's best striker. The Mexican bagsman has been one of the sport's steadier goal-scorers since he made his senior debut with Club America in 2011.
Jimenez, 35, is a household name for many, namely those of an El Tri disposition. His gifts are undeniable — Jimenez's touch, link-up play and ball-striking have made him a favorite to fans and managers alike over the course of his career.

It was the headbands that got me.
I can’t think of a moment I’ve been excited about a GOAT coming out of retirement. Call me grumpy, but I tend to get ***** med out at the idea of a monumentally accomplished athlete returning to see what’s left to squeeze out of their career. I want these all-time greats to be satisfied enough to move on with life; I want them to avoid having to face being fractionally as good as they once were; I want society to be able to let its legends lie.
