The High Line has hosted forests, billboards, giant pigeons and enough public art to fill a small museum. Its newest resident, however, may be the flashiest yet: a monumental golden "snake" curling through the park in the Meatpacking District.
Bulgari has unveiled auruBOROS—Urban Memory and Collective Dream, a 33-foot pneumatic sculpture created by Berlin-based art and architecture duo Plastique Fantastique. The free installation is now open above Little West 12th Street, near The Standard, High Line, and will remain on view through September 20.
The work resembles a gleaming serpent or double helix, with massive coils rising from beneath the elevated park and wrapping around its concrete supports. Visitors can walk among and through the reflective forms, which shift in appearance as sunlight, shadows and passing New Yorkers bounce off the metallic surface.
The sculpture's name combines aurum, the Latin word for gold, with ouroboros, the ancient image of a serpent eating its own tail. Its location also fits the installation's themes of memory and transformation: the High Line, after all, turned an abandoned freight railway into one of the city's most popular public **** es.
Created by Plastique Fantastique artists Marco Canevacci and Yena Young, auruBOROS is Bulgari's first public art installation in the United States. The duo is known for large-scale inflatable environments, including a giant ring that encircled a Paris footbridge during Nuit Blanche in 2023 and an immersive installation at the 2019 Venice Biennale.

Oklo (NYSE: OKLO), a developer of microreactors for nuclear power plants, has been a divisive stock since its market debut. After going public through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) on May 10, 2024, Oklo started trading at $15.50 per share.
It soared to a record high of $174.14 on Oct. 14, 2025, but it now trades at about $43. Wall Street's average price target for the stock is about $75. Let's see why Oklo's stock went through so many wild swings -- and where I think it will actually end up by the end of 2026.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Oklo's Aurora microreactor, which is much smaller than conventional nuclear reactors, only generates 1.5 MWe per unit. However, its modular design allows it to be deployed alongside additional reactors to generate up to 75 MWe per "Powerhouse" power plant. That's tiny compared to a conventional nuclear power plant, which typically generates at least 1,000 MWe, but Aurora's Powerhouse plants can be deployed on less land in remote, off-grid areas.
The Aurora also uses metallic uranium fuel pellets, which are denser, have higher thermal resistance, and are cheaper to produce than the uranium dioxide fuel pellets that power conventional reactors. By recycling its pellets in a closed loop, the Aurora can last for a decade without refueling. Conventional reactors are still refueled in stages every two years.

What's a birthday party without confetti and a few tears? There were certainly both at Coach's Spring 2027 show, at which the brand celebrated its 85th anniversary. But while eight and a half decades in business is a pretty big deal, creative director Stuart Vevers wasn't interested in a mere anniversary spectacle rehashing the label's greatest hits. Instead, he used the milestone as a chance to revisit the pieces and ideas that have come to define Coach by pulling them apart (quite literally in some cases—see the Inside-Out Brooklyn Tote) and putting them back together in ways that felt totally fresh.
"I didn't want to make a retrospective," Vevers said in a press release, explaining that his latest collection is centered around the concept of memory, and the way familiar things change and evolve as we live with them. After 85 years, Coach has plenty of history to draw from, but Vevers isn't interested in preserving it with museum-level precision. He'd rather draw straight from the source material and turn it into something simultaneously familiar and brand new.
To that end, the show opened with hallmark Coach silhouettes rendered in cool neutrals: oversized trench coats, tailored jackets, structured leather bags, and chunky pendants, all in shades of dove gray, black, white, soft brown, and natural leather. Some of the tailoring was made from garment-dyed, sun-faded jersey, which gave a blazer or trench coat's shape a hoodie-like softness. It was a clever way of presenting Coach's heritage in a manner that felt lived-in rather than preserved behind glass, as if these brand signatures had been worn, washed, and loved over the course of many years. Meanwhile, bias-cut dresses and skirts came in everything from repurposed lining fabrics and overdyed georgette to denim and lamé, adding another layer of innovation to the line-up.

Midway through the show, the parade of earth tones gave way to something much brighter and bolder. Models took to the catwalk in head-to-toe sequin dresses and maxi-skirt sets in powder pink, periwinkle, mint, and metallics. Alongside them came gift boxes reimagined as purses, leather birthday hats, and crowns, pushing the subtle anniversary theme into a full-blown party motif.

Taylor Swift brought some serious sparkle to her latest date night with Travis Kelce. The singer stepped out in New York City on September 6 alongside her husband, delivering an elegant evening look packed with luxe details. While her striped high-slit dress made a statement of its own, Swift's jewelry collection, including gorgeous earrings, took the look to an entirely different price bracket.
Taylor Swift accessorized with Mindi Mond's Imperial Citrine & Diamond Drop Earrings, which retail for a whopping $19,000. The striking earrings feature enormous cushion-cut citrine stones suspended beneath glittering round diamonds, bringing a rich golden-yellow pop of color to her look. According to the product listing, the earrings feature a total citrine weight of 31 carats alongside 1.20 carats of diamonds.
Swift let the statement jewels peek through her softly styled brown waves, which she wore down with her signature bangs. The warm tone of the citrine also complemented the earthy palette of her striped Stella silk blend McCartney halter-neck maxi dress without competing with it. Priced at $2,800, the dress made for a perfect date night look. It featured an asymmetric neckline and a high slit that flashed her leg as she walked.
In addition, the $19K earrings weren't the only major jewels involved. Swift also wore an Elizabeth Taylor Darlene De Sedle 22-karat gold, opal, and diamond bracelet and ring set. Most notably, her custom Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry diamond engagement ring and wedding band were also on display.
She completed the outfit with metallic Twist 95 Sandals by Aquazzura and a Frayme Scale-Embossed Bucket Bag by Stella McCartney. These luxury accessories also came with a costly price tag. She walked hand-in-hand with her husband, who wore brown pants and a soft mint-green shirt.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were their daughter North West's biggest cheerleaders at her solo debut concert. The SKIMS founder and her rapper ex-husband split in 2022, after seven years of marriage. The former couple showed up separately to support their 13-year-old daughter's big career milestone.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West might be exes, but they have maintained a co-parenting relationship for their kids, including daughter North, sons Saint, 10, and Psalm, six, and eight-year-old daughter Chicago. The reality star and her ex showed up at North's first solo debut concert at The Vic Theatre in Chicago on September 4. However, they kept their distance at the venue.
In a video shared to X (formerly Twitter), West could be seen recording his daughter's performance on his phone on one side of the balcony. Meanwhile, Kardashian was enjoying it from the other side, sporting a sleeveless black dress. She wore her long, dark hair in a slicked-back ponytail.
The rapper was wearing a brown leather jacket over a white tee. For his lower half, he opted for black leather pants. He pulled his sunglasses onto the crown of his head as he stood with his phone pointed towards the stage where North was performing.
The 13-year-old wore a white military-style jacket adorned with metallic buckles, introducing a Labor Day-inspired twist to her look. She paired it with a ruffled white skirt and matching white boots. Her neon blue hair was styled in high pigtails, complete with a lacy white bonnet. Her signature dermal piercing and a full face of glam completed her look.

Olivia Rodrigo leaned into edgy glamour for her latest look, pairing a skeleton micro minidress with Stuart Weitzman pumps. The "deja vu" singer turned heads at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, California, on September 1 for the "An Evening with Olivia Rodrigo" event. The museum's official Instagram page shared her photos from the event.
Olivia Rodrigo wore a vintage Undercover Fall/Winter 2013 Silk Skeleton Top in Orange/Black to the Grammy Museum. Styled as a micro minidress, the top featured cap sleeves and a black Peter Pan collar that rested wide across her shoulders. The garment's most eye-catching detail was the centrally printed black skeletal ribcage graphic. The goth-inspired anatomical graphic contrasted with the soft peach color of the fabric, creating a playful and edgy juxtaposition.
Styled by Chloe and Chenelle, the Grammy winner paired the lightweight dress with black sheer Wolford tights. For footwear, she opted for Stuart Weitzman Babette Patent Leather Mary Jane Pumps in black colorway. The high-shine patent finish caught the light, elevating the dark tights beneath and bringing a sleek, liquid-like **** re to her look.
The $495 shoes featured an almond-shaped toe and a slender instep strap with a metallic buckle. The 85 mm block heel elongated her frame while maintaining a retro silhouette that balanced the breezy drape of her tunic. Furthermore, its black color kept the look cohesive along her leg line.
Rodrigo wore her dark brown hair in voluminous, glossy waves parted down the side, softly framing her face. Meanwhile, her makeup was fresh and radiant. It featured a natural flush, defined lashes, and a pink lip that echoed the peach tones of her dress.

Salma Hayek's shoe style has stayed fairly consistent over the years, with platform heels as a recurring choice.
In the 1990s, she wore velvet peep-toes, cork wedges, strappy sandals, and stilettos, but by the 2000s, metallic platform pumps and chunky sandals became a more permanent fixture in her closet.

Amal Clooney's sartorial archives include many forgotten fashion gems. However, one particular look that slipped completely under the radar was the bombshell gold dress she wore to the official launch of Casamigos Tequila in Ibiza in 2015. It was the ultimate Bond Girl moment that has stylishly stood the test time – and **** O! are revisiting it 11 years later.
The international human rights lawyer graced the event in a gold Vionnet dress that boasted a metallic, chainmail sheen. The mini dress featured a plunging cowl neckline with a sleeveless design and subtle asymmetric hem. Amal styled the scene-stealing gown with a pair of black Dior pumps and a matching gold clutch. Her hair was styled into a voluminous blowout while her makeup oozed soft glam, courtesy of a bronze eye and a bold red lip.

George Clooney allowed his wife's look to command all the attention as he opted for a more casual approach to his outfit. The actor donned a white **** on-down shirt with a pair of wide-leg jeans.
Amal is no stranger to a glitterball dress. Who could forget the breathtaking Atelier Versace gown she wore to the British Fashion Awards back in 2023? The garment was adorned with cascading, sunset-hued sequins. These bronze embellishments started small at the top of the dress and increased in size as they went down the skirt. The sequins were stitched together by a net of crystal-embroidered string. The result was a shimmering, ombré effect that glistened in the light.

Conan O'Brien joked about having the same decorating style as President Donald Trump during a silly moment on his latest podcast.
While riffing about his beloved golden retriever on Monday's episode of "Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend," the comic said he deals with his dog's shedding habit by buying exclusively gold clothes.
Spotting an opportunity to roast the president and his famous fondness for shiny things, O'Brien said he'd even given his home the Midas touch with a metallic paint job and "all gold rugs."

Kim Kardashian Getty Images for This Is About H Her skirt concealed much of the taupe heels, leaving their angular open toes and slim front straps on display.

Sometimes the most memorable part of an outfit is hidden underneath. Designers have increasingly used contrasting linings to introduce unexpected flashes of color, transforming capes, coats, gowns and dramatic trains whenever they move. From Cate Blanchett to Anne Hathaway, several stars have demonstrated how a carefully chosen interior shade can turn an elegant red carpet look into something far more surprising.
Cate Blanchett delivered a memorable example at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival premiere of The Apprentice. Her custom Haider Ackermann for Jean Paul Gaultier strapless creation appeared predominantly black from the front, but revealed contrasting shades from other angles. A blush pink back and emerald green lining emerged as Blanchett lifted the train, giving the sophisticated design an unexpected injection of color.
Brie Larson used the same idea for superhero glamour at the London premiere of Captain Marvel. Her vivid blue Valentino gown featured an off the shoulder neckline, sculpted bodice and flowing cape. Hidden inside that cape was a shimmering gold lining, creating a dramatic metallic flash whenever the fabric moved. Nicole Kidman took a bolder approach at the New York premiere of Expats, where her sleek black Versace gown revealed a vivid lime green interior through its dramatic thigh high slit.
Helen Mirren offered a softer interpretation at the 2024 Golden Globes. Wearing Dolce & Gabbana, she paired an elegant lavender gown with a matching coat featuring voluminous sleeves. The coat's pink interior became visible as it opened, introducing another pastel shade while maintaining the sophistication of the overall look. Instead of competing with the lavender exterior, the contrasting lining gave the ensemble additional depth.
Anne Hathaway also embraced the technique with a playful maternity look at the Los Angeles premiere of The Last Thing He Wanted. Her custom Prabal Gurung ensemble centered on a blue satin high low top with a striking red interior. Paired with relaxed jeans and pointed red shoes, the contrasting colors framed her silhouette while bringing an unconventional energy to maternity dressing.

Hannah Waddingham has developed a red carpet style that is glamorous, confident and unapologetically feminine. Whether she is wearing an extravagant ball gown, sleek tailoring or a playful mini dress, the Ted Lasso star consistently embraces dramatic silhouettes and bold details while making each look feel distinctly her own.
At the 2022 Emmy Awards, Waddingham delivered a memorable princess moment in a strapless Dolce & Gabbana gown. Its voluminous pink tulle skirt and jeweled bodice brought plenty of drama, while glittering sneakers hidden underneath added an unexpected practical touch. She later changed direction at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards, choosing a metallic green Tom Ford dress with a figure hugging silhouette and sheer detailing. For the Ted Lasso season three premiere, she demonstrated her versatility in a flowing Tarik Ediz halter jumpsuit.
Her 2024 appearances pushed the glamour even further. At the BAFTAs, Waddingham wore an Oscar de la Renta creation featuring intricate floral embroidery and an elegant high neckline. She embraced full Hollywood glamour at the Emmys in a shimmering halter gown finished with a dramatic feathered train. At the SAG Awards, a red Tony Ward gown combined off the shoulder styling, elegant draping and a thigh high slit, while her Golden Globes appearance brought a darker mood through sheer fabric, corsetry and black lace.
Waddingham continued experimenting with color and texture in 2025. At the Cannes Film Festival screening of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, she arrived in a striking pink Elie Saab gown with a sweeping, voluminous train. She later offered something completely different at the Los Angeles premiere of Smurfs, wearing a Stella McCartney denim dress accented with delicate white lace and coordinated white pumps.
By 2026, Waddingham was still finding new ways to balance sophistication with playfulness. For the Ted Lasso season four premiere, she chose an Alice + Olivia mini dress decorated with oversized red floral embroidery. It was shorter and more playful than many of her grand red carpet gowns, but carried the same unmistakable confidence.

Margaret Qualley brought high fashion to the outdoors in her stunning new cover story. Photographed by Talia Ryder and styled by Taylor McNeill for POP Magazine Issue 55 (Autumn/Winter 2026), the actress looked effortlessly glamorous. She effortlessly layered a shimmering designer look straight off the Chanel runway with her own relaxed streetwear pieces. Thus, her bold styling choices proved that classic tweed and sparkling textures can feel completely modern and cool.
For the Pop Magazine cover shot, Margaret Qualley sat outdoors while holding a small, adorable grey dog in her arms. She wore a striking ensemble from Chanel's Fall/Winter 2026 collection. Her outfit started with a classic tweed jacket. The jacket was woven with metallic gold, beige, and black plaid patterns. It featured vibrant red trim along the lapels and red ***** on details. The red accents also added a bold pop of color to the textured outer layer.
Beneath the jacket, Qualley wore her own bright red hoodie. The simple hoodie brought a playful street-style contrast to the luxury outfit. She paired the top layers with a blinding, iridescent metallic skirt. The shimmering skirt caught the light with rainbow-hued metallic tones.
What made the skirt stand out most was its daring silhouette. It was designed with not just one, but two dangerously high slits along the front. The double-slit cuts added plenty of movement and drama to the knee-length metallic piece.
With her long, dark hair draped naturally over one shoulder under the red hood, Qualley posed with a playful, candid facial expression. Her fresh-faced makeup and relaxed pose brought an easygoing, cool-girl vibe to the high-fashion Chanel look. Moreover, she pulled off a daring style risk with ease. By pairing high-end runway pieces with everyday wardrobe staples, Qualley created an unforgettable fashion moment that felt both bold and accessible.

Two rare-earth companies generating buzz are MP Materials (NYSE: MP) and The Metals Company (NASDAQ: TMC). Both companies could be key players in helping the U.S. secure rare-earth elements, but one in particular stands out as the smarter investment choice that could pay off sooner rather than later.
When you compare MP Materials and The Metals Company (TMC), the differences are stark. MP Materials operates the Mountain Pass rare-earth mine and processing facility, the only active rare-earth mining and processing site of scale in North America. In contrast, TMC is a development company exploring the collection and processing of polymetallic nodules on the seafloor, a practice known as deep-sea mining.

Royval (18-9) is coming off a thrilling submission win over Lone'er Kavanagh at UFC 329, earning Fight of the Night for his efforts. This win got "Raw Dawg" back into the win column after coming up short against Manel Kape and current champion Joshua Van in their 2025 Fight of the Year.
To date, Royval holds notable wins over Tatsuro Taira, Brandon Moreno, Kai Kara-France, Tim Elliott, and Matheus Nicolau.

Something metallic turned up under a garden in a quiet Tallinn suburb in 1969, and the Soviets spent the next twenty years trying to get it out, bringing in excavators and scientists and military, borrowing the house from its owners and living in it, digging on and off until perestroika ended the whole effort and they walked away. Astrophysicist Dr. Beatriz Villarroel and Ocean X co-founder Dennis Åsberg went to that address to find out what is still down there. ****** ody came to the door, but the neighbor who had watched all of it from his window talked to them for an hour.
This is their full conversation with Ross Coulthart, recorded for "Secret Soviet UFOs" and running well past what the special had room for. Villarroel walks through the peer-reviewed work that brought her to Estonia, highly reflective objects photographed in orbit years before anyone on Earth had launched a satellite, and why she thinks the same search belongs in the ground. Åsberg ties Merivälja to the Baltic Sea anomaly his team found on sonar roughly 300 kilometers away and argues that both could predate the last ice age. Between them, they count five European cases and will not give up the coordinates of one of them. What ****** ody can answer yet is what sits under that garden, and the only thing that would settle it is ground-penetrating radar in the yard of a man who has already told them no.

It's all coming back to us now.
Years before Kylie Jenner donned a daring Roberto Cavalli halter gown for Jordyn Woods and Karl-Anthony Towns' wedding, legendary vocalist Celine Dion wore the same skin-baring style on the red carpet.
The five-time Grammy winner wore the original, cream-colored runway version of the designer dress to the 2003 Billboard Music Awards, pairing it with Marilyn Monroe-style platinum curls, diamond drop earrings and metallic stilettos.

A post in r/nextfuckinglevel shared video of Chinese cosplayer Dalaotian, a Douyin and TikTok creator known for hyper-realistic robot cosplay that has left viewers questioning whether she is human.
In one clip, a man asks her directly if she is real, and she responds, "I am real human," before smiling. Other clips appeared to show passersby stopping to stare, open-mouthed, as she walked through public ******* es.
Dalaotian is a 30-year-old influencer from Sichuan province, China, standing over 6 feet 3 inches tall, according to the South China Morning Post. She has amassed roughly five million followers and typically wears a metallic silver bodysuit, light blue cosmetic contact lenses, and a short bob wig styled after anime characters, occasionally shifting her aesthetic to resemble Barbie instead.
Several replies focused on her physical proportions as the key to the effect. One commenter wrote, "It's really the tiny waist that sells it I think. You just don't expect someone to have that unusually small waist compared to shoulders hips etc. The face definitely helps. She looks like Battle Angel Alita lol."
One commenter repeated an unverified claim about the cost of her transformation. They wrote, "I read in another post that she has spent about 150k in surgeries. That can't be healthy." The figure appears to be inaccurate, according to subsequent reporting.
