KARINA of aespa for Converse
Karina of aespa has joined Converse as a new face of the brand with her first campaign for the iconic footwear and lifestyle label arriving today.
The K-pop singer, rapper and dancer makes her brand debut with two shoes drawn from opposite ends of a shared lineage: the Chuck 70 X, a refined update of the most recognizable silhouette in the company's catalog, as well as the Run Star Crush, a platform-heavy variation of the classic. Converse frames the pairing as fusing "heritage with experimentation," with Karina cast as an artist who comfortably embraces both.
"Both on stage and off, I love breaking the mold and exploring my individuality through style and Converse is a natural canvas for that," Karina said in a media statement. "I'm excited to join the Converse family and inspire others to celebrate their creativity and express themselves boldly."
After debuting as aespa's leader in 2020, Karina has built one of the most closely watched style profiles in K-pop with the Converse deal arriving as she's become a front row regular for Milan and Paris Fashion Week while previously collaborating with Converse Korea in 2024 and 2025, including rocking Converse kicks for the March 2025 digital cover of GQ Korea. That she can carry a luxury house and an American heritage sneaker label at the same time, without either partnership reading as a stretch, proves her wide-ranging appeal.

More than 60 million viewers across the U.S. tuned into the 2026 men's World Cup final between Spain and Argentina last month, between Fox and Spanish-language rights holder Telemundo. How many will tune into Netflix's coverage of the 2027 women's World Cup final, as of now, remains arguably the biggest experiment for FIFA and the women's game — and a potential test case for the men.
Fox, the American broadcaster that has held the English-language rights for six editions of the men's and women's tournaments, will be off duty for the first time since 2014. The shift from one of the primary broadcasters in the United States to streaming giant Netflix is a seismic one that has inspired plenty of nerves among women's soccer fans. It also opens up the doors to reimagining the coverage of the sport's biggest moment.
No financials were disclosed when the deal was announced in 2024, though last week Bloomberg News reported that Netflix paid around $200 million for the two editions of the tournament. FIFA's decision to split up the men's and women's tournaments' media rights allowed the women's tournament to establish and develop its own commercial value. Fox shelled out $485 million for the 2026 men's World Cup alone. That price is expected to rise considerably for the next men's tournament. (FCC Chairman Brendan Carr has gone on record saying that the men's tournaments should, in part, remain free to air.)
Netflix has been making some bets of its own on live sports, picking and choosing where to acquire more events, including the MLB Home Run Derby, boxing and NFL holiday games. Netflix hit a high mark for the most-streamed NFL game thanks in part to Beyoncé's halftime show during a game between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans on Christmas Day 2024, with the stream peaking at 27 million during halftime.
Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters noted on an earnings call that live events have been key to driving sign-ups. Live programming has driven six out of the top 10 new subscriber sign-up days over the past five years.

Billie Eilish looked worlds away from her usual edgy style as she stepped onto the set of The Bell Jar in Toronto on Tuesday.
The 24-year-old singer was almost unrecognizable while filming the highly anticipated adaptation of Sylvia Plath's iconic novel, embracing a dramatic 1950s transformation for her first major acting role.
Ditching the oversized T-shirts and baggy trousers that have become synonymous with her personal style, Billie slipped into a navy blue ******* on-front dress layered with a striped cropped jacket and matching pillbox-style hat.
Her vintage-inspired look was completed with softly curled brunette hair, bold red lipstick and pearl earrings as she filmed scenes as Esther Greenwood, the novel's troubled 19-year-old protagonist.

Saquon Barkley saw a clip of Barry Sanders on NFL Films when he was a kid that left a lasting impression.
It wasn't Sanders juking half the defense on one of his dynamic touchdown runs. Instead, the Hall of Fame running back who inspired a generation of running backs with his sensational, elusive, shifty style was walking up and down the sideline handing out refreshments to his teammates.
"They were talking about how great of a player he was but they had a clip of him holding Gatorade cups and he's walking down," Barkley said on the AP's "On Football" podcast. "He is going to his teammates and just the way that he carried himself. So I would say I have to give my flowers to him there."
Barkley joined Sanders as one of nine players to rush for 2,000 yards in a season in 2024 when he was the AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year and helped the Philadelphia Eagles win the Super Bowl.
Barkley demonstrated he's a team-first player by sitting out the final regular-season game when he needed 101 yards to break Eric **** erson's record. Earlier in the season, he told coach Nick Sirianni to let other backs get some carries after he had already rushed for 176 yards against his former Giants teammates and needed 14 more in the fourth quarter to set a new career-high.

Cardi B delivered a retro-inspired look in her latest campaign for Old Navy, sporting a jacket that hung on to her with a single ***** on fastened at the front. The label's official Instagram page shared a video teasing different denim looks, including one on the "Bodak Yellow" singer.
Cardi B delivered a denim-on-denim look, pairing dark indigo washes with vibrant pops of red. She sported a coordinated dark-wash denim set, featuring high-waisted, wide-leg skintight jeans, styled with the hems folded over.
Matching the denim pants, she wore a cropped dark indigo denim trucker jacket. It featured silver contrast ***** ons and push-up elbow cuffs. She fastened only a single ***** on of the jacket, giving a glimpse of the red top she was wearing underneath.
The fitted cherry-red cardigan top featured three-quarter sleeves, ribbed cuffs, and white ***** ons. The Grammy winner also styled it with a single fastened ***** on like her jacket. It peeked through the jacket at the front and the cuffs.
In one picture, she shed the jacket, letting the cardigan take center stage. The pairing of red and dark blue created a high-contrast look.

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck's daughter, Violet Affleck, showed off her summer sartorial agenda as she was photographed grabbing coffee with a friend at Caffe Luxxe in Brentwood.
The 20-year-old looked effortlessly stylish in a white baby tee emblazoned with a playful red apple print, paired with a pair of Baywatch-inspired red Nike shorts. Violet accessorized with a vibrant striped handbag and a pair of oversized sunglasses. Her hair was left down in a bob while she opted for minimal makeup with a radiant complexion.
Violet is enjoying her summer in Los Angeles before she returns to Yale University for her junior year. It was a rare sighting to see Violet pictured without her face mask. Back in September 2025, Violet delivered an emotional speech at the United Nations advocating for clean air and the use of masks to help prevent the spread of long COVID-19. Violet has long been an advocate for public health and addressed the UN while wearing a K95 mask. "We are told by leaders across the board that we are the future," she said. "But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes."

We Now Know How Jaylen Brown Really Feels After Shocking Celtics-76ers Trade originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
To no surprise, Jaylen Brown feels a type of way about how his time with the Boston Celtics ended.
The former Celtics star touched on a number of topics during his Twitch livestream on Monday, from what it's like being teammates with LeBron James to his plan to take the 76ers skydiving if they win a championship.
Most interesting of all, Brown also revealed his mindset after being traded from the Celtics to the 76ers. The five-time All-Star and NBA champion told viewers that he wants to win more than ever while rocking a 76ers jersey.
"I'm more inspired to win than anything," Brown said. "I feel like I've been a little bit disrespected in this process for whatever reason from people that I thought valued me and everything I brought to the team and the city. I found out quickly that may or may not be the case.

Tate McRae kept the fashion moments coming long after stepping off the Lollapalooza stage, donning a lace slip micro minidress from Doen. After turning heads in multiple Ludovic de Saint Sernin looks during her performance, the pop star switched gears for an after-hours celebration, slipping into a delicate minidress by Doen while hanging out backstage with The Chainsmokers.
Tate McRae wore the Doen Evra Slip Dress in Sea Salt, a barely-there lace number that perfectly balanced sweet and sultry. It featured thin spaghetti straps, a soft scoop neckline trimmed with scalloped lace, and an all-over floral lace construction.
The piece had a romantic, lingerie-inspired feel. Its body-hugging silhouette skimmed her figure before ending at an ultra-short hemline that rode high on her thighs, making the tiny slip dress feel even more daring.
McRae paired the ivory mini with diamond stud earrings and a minimalistic bracelet, letting the intricate lace remain the focus. She wore her blonde hair in loose, tousled waves and opted for glowing makeup with bronzed skin and glossy lips. Additionally, a black shoulder bag with silver hardware added contrast to the monochrome outfit.
Photos from backstage captured the "Sports Car" singer smiling alongside Alex Pall and Drew Taggart of The Chainsmokers after her Lollapalooza set. In another playful snap, McRae was seen holding up a giant bottle of Fireball whiskey while laughing with friends. She embraced the celebratory mood after a successful weekend at the Chicago music festival.

Ever since he was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers, Jaylen Brown has received some criticism from just about everywhere. The 5-time All-Star averaged 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 5.1 **** ists while shooting 47.7% from the floor and 34.7% from deep and led the Boston Celtics to a 56-26 record in what many was expecting a "gap year" amid the Jayson Tatum injury, but there are some who wonder if he can repeat it.
On his latest stream on Monday evening, Brown sported his Sixers jersey and had a message for those who are doubting him:
I'm more inspired to win than anything. I feel like I've been a little bit disrespected in this process from people that I thought valued me and everything I brought to the team and the city. I found out quickly that may or may not be the case. So, I want to win more than anything. So, I'm looking forward that journey, that approach, the leadership, that sacrifice, and whatever it's gonna take.
Brown will be joined by LeBron James as the two of them will look to help Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and VJ Edgecombe push Philadelphia over the edge. Brown won a **** le with the Celtics in 2024, winning finals MVP in the process, and James, obviously, has the four **** les and four finals MVPs on his resume. They will look to help the Sixers get over the hump in the coming season and get past Round 2 for the first time since 2001.

He's eating barbecue. He's winning over Joe Rogan. He's challenging his opponent to mano-a-mano televised faceoffs.
James Talarico is determined not to let his GOP challenger Ken Paxton's and Republicans' attacks on his masculinity define him in what has emerged as one of the party's loudest tactics in the crucial Senate race.
The Texas Democrat is working to position himself as a candidate focused on issues he says men actually care about instead of speculation about his diet, **** uality and religious beliefs.
"They've even called me a vegan, and those are fighting words in the state of Texas," Talarico said at a San Antonio rally this summer.
"Nowadays our culture tells young men that greatness is tearing other people down, is trolling and owning and dominating. But my dad showed me what real greatness looks like. He inspired me to serve," Talarico said at another rally in Houston, referencing how his dad often mowed the lawn of his elderly widowed neighbor without asking.

For years, Wall Street **** ysts have predicted that profits were just around the corner for Rocket Lab (NASDAQ: RKLB). Ramping Electron launches and the potential for a newer, larger Neutron rocket have been repeatedly cited as reasons to expect Rocket Lab to turn that corner and begin reporting generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) net earnings -- and free cash flow, too.
It hasn't happened yet, but now that Rocket Lab has announced a big acquisition of satellite company Iridium (NASDAQ: IRDM), I'm prepared to climb out on a limb myself and make the following prediction: Rocket Lab will turn profitable and free-cash-flow-positive in 2027.

At any given time, several headwinds are waiting in the wings to sink Wall Street. While historically high valuations and the prospect of an artificial intelligence (AI) bubble are perhaps the two most well-known, there's arguably no more perfect saboteur for Wall Street than inflation.
Though some degree of inflation is normal and healthy -- i.e., businesses should possess some pricing power on their goods and services in a growing economy -- U.S. inflation is currently well above this target level. The blame for this above-average inflation, and the reason the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite can tumble from their respective all-time highs, lies with President Donald Trump.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Oprah Winfrey says she will close the school for underprivileged girls she set up in South Africa two decades ago at the end of next year.
Winfrey opened the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in 2007 after being inspired by conversations with former South African President Nelson Mandela about the transformative power of educating girls. He was among the guests at the school's opening ceremony.
Winfrey's charitable foundation ran and funded the school, but it was always part of the agreement that the academy campus near Johannesburg be ultimately handed over to the provincial education department, the academy said.
"The dream was never simply to build a school," Winfrey said in a statement issued by the academy on Wednesday. "It was to invest in the limitless potential of young women. That mission doesn't end with one campus. It continues in every girl whose future can be transformed through education."
The academy said Winfrey's commitment to educating South African girls would continue through an expanded national scholarship program supporting academically talented girls at leading schools across the country.

Could the Royals have had a much better final week of pre-season? It's hard to think so. Following victories against Woking last Saturday (0-2), Newport County on Tuesday (0-4) and Crawley Town on Friday (0-1), Reading made it four clean-sheet wins in four on Saturday afternoon by seeing off Charlton Athletic 0-3 at The Valley.
Lewis Wing was the star man, beginning and ending the scoring with a pair of excellent strikes. Perhaps Boyd Beacroft's halfway-line lob over the 'keeper at Crawley inspired Wing to go one better?
Either way, this was Wing at his very best. He gave the Royals the lead just before half-time when he slammed in a free-kick, later making absolutely certain of the result by curling the ball beautifully into the far top corner after getting a shot corner back from David Hicks.
Reece Evans will be having words about which goal was the highlight of the afternoon though. He opened his account for the first team to make it 2-0 in the second half, heading the ball powerfully past the 'keeper at the end of an incisive, fluent counter-attack. Hicks played a neat pass down the right and into the area for Kyreece Lisbie, who checked back onto his left foot and crossed cutely for Evans.
Even outside those goals though – and stop me if you've read this before about Reading's 2026 pre-season friendlies – the Royals looked confident and well structured. Inventive, energetic and dynamic, this was a display that simply wouldn't have happened last season.

Kate Middleton has grown into one of the most popular members of the royal family. According to one royal expert, she is the monarchy's "greatest ****** et." Experts believe King Charles III and Kate now share a stronger relationship following their cancer diagnoses.
Royal expert Katie Nicholl, who serves as Vanity Fair's royal correspondent and co-hosts The Royals Uncensored, said, "I think Catherine, the Princess of Wales, has always been a very valuable ****** et to the royal family."
"She is the commoner who married into the royal family … [She has made] a seamless transition into that unique world of royalty. It's not easy … There's a huge amount of sacrifice that goes into being a member of the royal family," the expert told Fox News.
Nicholl said Catherine has made many personal sacrifices but has handled them with grace, dignity, and a smile. She added that both Charles and Queen Camilla deeply admire Catherine. Buckingham Palace announced the King's diagnosis in 2024. In December 2025, Charles shared that his treatment would be reduced in 2026.
On the other hand, the mother of three shared in September 2024 that she had finished chemotherapy and considered herself "cancer-free." She later announced in January 2025 that she was in remission. British broadcaster Helena Chard noted that King Charles, 77, has been greatly inspired by Kate's strength.

Hosted at Cardinal Point, the spectacular Sky Terrace on the 45th floor of the Landmark skyscraper, the event treated guests to breathtaking views of Hong Kong's skyline and Victoria Harbour. It provided the perfect setting to celebrate Inter's international presence, surrounded by the colours that have represented the Club since 1908: "Black as the night, blue as the sky."
At the heart of the evening was an opportunity to enjoy a traditional aperitivo with the local community, designed to bring together people from different cultures and backgrounds. Guests experienced an authentic Milanese aperitivo – one of the city's most iconic social traditions – while embracing the spirit of openness, exchange and dialogue that has always been central to Inter's identity as Internazionale.
The event welcomed leading representatives from local institutions, Club partners, members of the media, content creators and prominent figures from across Hong Kong, creating a unique opportunity for networking and collaboration where sport, culture and business came together.
The evening opened with a special welcome from Nerazzurri legend Christian Vieri, who took to the stage alongside host Sze Nga and Rivista Undici journalist Jay Ganglani, whose publication partnered with the event. Their conversation explored football's role as a global cultural phenomenon and Inter's evolution into an international brand capable of connecting with different markets, cultures and communities around the world.

FC Barcelona have unveiled their away kit for the 2026/27 season, developed together with Nike and the Kobe brand. The new shirt represents the second chapter of a growing collaboration that highlights a shared competitive mindset.
The shirt and the entire collection combine a black base with a gradient fading into purple at the bottom, along with gold details and graphic elements linked to Kobe Stealth, the identity of the Kobe Bryant brand.
Among the standout details are a print inspired by snakeskin texture, the FC Barcelona crest with an iridescent finish, the Kobe logo on the chest, and a Kobe Bryant quote hidden inside the collar that captures the 'Mamba Mentality': "Leave the game better than you found it".
The launch campaign features players such as Pedri, Gavi, Frenkie De Jong, Alejandro Balde, Ewa Pajor and Patri Guijarro, among others.
The garment has only been presented as a commercial product; its official debut on the pitch has not yet been confirmed. It will arrive during pre-season, coinciding with the first-team's opening fixtures.
