As you know, I'm a stickler for dressing for the season we're actually in, despite the celebrity habit of racing ahead to the next one.
But I am a die-hard sucker for velvet. I mean, just look at how lush this raspberry FFORME top and skirt from the Resort 2027 collection looks on Michelle.
What is not to love? The colour and fabric are doing all the work here, with the velvet catching the light beautifully and giving the raspberry hue even more impact. And considering Michelle loves a tailored moment, seeing her in something this fluid feels refreshing.

ROCK RAPIDS, Iowa (KCAU) - Central Lyon/George-Little Rock is coming off a 2-6 record last season, but don't let that record fool you as the Lions come into 2026 with plenty of belief.
CL/'G-LR is coming off its first sub .500 season since 2017, but ended the year with two consecutive victories.
The Lions have been rebuilding with youth the last couple of seasons, with many taking big steps last year inclduing quarterback Jayden Daale and running back Michelet Sedam.
The team played in many close games last season and finished 1-4 in one-score games, putting an emphasis on the details.
"We've got to make those plays. It comes down to that one big play a game, and we just come up short. But not this year. We're going to make sure we get them big plays that go our way," Daale said.

Jake and Romy Reiner testified before the Los Angeles grand jury that indicted their brother Nick.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office confirmed Nick's siblings spoke in court as part of their brother's murder case. Just days ago, he was indicted on two counts of first-degree murder for the deaths of their parents Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner.
Nick is now facing a new alleged special circumstance of lying in wait.
Within a statement unsealed in court last Wednesday, Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman said, "This was a profound betrayal by someone who was loved and trusted by the very people he is accused of killing.
"The indictment unsealed today also adds a special circumstance allegation that the defendant committed the murders by means of lying in wait," the attorney continued. "We hope that by having a grand jury return an indictment in this case it will bring us one step closer to a trial and achieving justice."

LAS VEGAS — Las Vegas Aces head coach Becky Hammon was ejected from her team's matchup against the Atlanta Dream on Tuesday at Michelob Ultra Arena.
The fifth-year coach appeared to be arguing a no-call after Dream forward Angel Reese missed a midrange jumper with 5:06 remaining in the second quarter. That drew Hammon's first technical as the Dream had a 33-29 lead.
Hammon then exited the sideline and charged towards officials on the court in frustration. She had to be held back by her ***** istant coaches and high-fived players and other team personnel as she headed toward the locker room after receiving her second technical foul in quick succession.
Assistant coach Charlene Thomas-Swinson took over in Hammon's absence.
It's Hammon's first ejection since the Aces lost to the Los Angeles Sparks on June 9, 2024.

Barcelona have confirmed an agreement with Ajax for the transfer of left-back Jofre Torrents. Before the official confirmation, Mundo Deportivo reported that the clubs had agreed the move and were finalising details for an official announcement. Torrents will join former teammate Marc-André ter Stegen in Amsterdam.
FC Barcelona confirmed the agreement on its official channels, thanking the La Masia product for his commitment, professionalism and dedication and wishing him well in the next stage of his career.
Jofre Torrents celebrates during a match for FC Barcelona.
Ajax first explored a loan for Torrents at the end of last season. Barcelona considered the possibility attractive because the defender had already made his first-team debut but faced strong competition in his position, with a move to Míchel's Ajax viewed as a suitable next step in his development.
That initial plan changed, with the clubs instead agreeing a permanent transfer. Barcelona have nevertheless structured the deal to retain an interest in Torrents' future.

News of Hayden Panettiere's death on Aug. 16 was shocking to fans who had watched her grow up as a vibrant presence onscreen in Remember the ******* ans, Heroes and more.
The actress, who died of an apparent overdose, sadly follows several other young stars whose work defined the early aughts, but didn't get to grow old. At only 39, Panettiere's Ice Princess costar Michelle Trachtenberg died of complications from diabetes mellitus. The Famous Jett Jackson star, Lee Thompson Young, committed suicide at age 29, while Aaron Carter died of an accidental drowning while under the influence.
Ahead, we remember some of the child stars from the early 2000s, who died before they turned 40.

Aug 16 (Reuters) - More than 180,000 utility customers remained without power across Hawaii on Sunday afternoon after Hurricane Lala brushed ‌the Big Island before being downgraded to a tropical storm.
Some 183,123 customers ‌across Hawaii were without power as of 3:30 p.m. HST (0130 GMT), according to poweroutage.us.Outages in Oahu, the most populated island, had dropped from more than 220,000 to about 130,000 as of Sunday morning, state officials said during a press conference.
State officials received reports of at least 100 homes damaged, Hawaii Governor Josh Green said on Sunday.
At 2 p.m. HST (0000 GMT) Lala was moving ‌west toward southwest Kauai County ⁠at about 20 mph (31 kph) with maximum sustained winds near 65 mph, just below the hurricane threshold of 73 mph, according to the ⁠latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center. A tropical storm warning remained in effect for Kauai county, although those warnings for Maui and Oahu counties were discontinued earlier on Sunday, according to the hurricane center.

Hayden Panettiere, the former child actress best known for her roles in TV series like "Heroes" and "Nashville," died on Sunday, Aug. 16 − and the news is hitting fans hard.
"I never cried so hard for a stranger in MY LIFE!!!" one user wrote on X.
On social media, tribute posts and comments of disbelief poured in. Panettiere, 36, also starred in "Ice Princess" alongside 2000s icon Michelle Trachtenberg, who died at 39 in 2025.
"First Michelle Trachtenberg now Hayden Panettiere I'm so sad I can't believe this my Ice Princesses both gone," posted another fan. "My brain and heart are still processing this. I can't believe she's no more," one user chimed in.
It's not unusual that Panettiere's death is affecting some fans so deeply. Celebrity deaths can feel personal, even if you never met the person. And while grief is different for everyone, experts say "collective" or "public grief" is a valid experience and can be exacerbated when the death of a public figure is learned unexpectedly in the news or on social media.

Ice Princess fans are mourning Hayden Panettiere's death at 36, less than two years after Michelle Trachtenberg died at 39.

Panettiere was found dead in South Carolina, TMZ reported, and an investigation into her death is "ongoing," her rep noted.
In the wake of the shocking news, fans of the 2005 film Ice Princess, starring Panettiere and Trachtenberg — who died in February 2025 from natural causes due to complications from diabetes mellitus — took to social media with tributes.

Juventus resumed pursuing Emiliano Martinez after Aston Villa came to terms with Parma for Zion Suzuki, but the deal quickly collapsed, and then they reached an agreement for Guglielmo Vicario instead, Fabrizio Romano reports (via SOSFanta).
The Birmingham-based club had shown interest in the **** anese international earlier in the summer. They returned after PSG gave up the chase due to late issues with the commissions. The Premier League club quickly offered Parma the same amount of money.
Juventus tried to take advantage of the turn of events to sign Martinez, who was higher on their shortlist than Vicario. However, Aston Villa didn't reduce their demands, around €15M, despite securing a new goalie. Moreover, the Argentinian star is dealing with a lingering finger injury that might require surgery at some point.
The Bianconeri were always willing to offer at most €6/7M plus add-ons for the veteran. Upon further reflection, they moved on again and formally opened talks with Tottenham. The Italian international wanted to leave, as he's the third-stringer now. The Spurs didn't insist on an obligation to buy, so he's joining on loan with a €10M option. He's returning to Serie A after his performances at Empoli earned him a move to London.
It was worth a shot given the Suzuki U-turn. The fact that Aston Villa are spending big at the position raises more than a few eyebrows about the latter's conditions, and the terms were tough to stomach, given his age. Surely the Spurs outcast doesn't arrive under the best circumstances, as they probed several options while he was just sitting there, but he's still better than Michele Di Gregorio in a perennial funk.

Nick Reiner has reiterated his demand for access to his family's trust fund in a Friday declaration, obtained and reviewed by TheWrap. The document argues that a portion of the fund became "due and payable" to Reiner upon turning 30 years old and that he hadn't been informed by a prior trustee that the sum was owed to him.
Reiner is charged with the murder of his parents, filmmaker Rob Reiner and producer Michele Reiner, who were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood, Calif. residence Dec. 14. Reiner has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
In his new filing, Reiner argues that he did not give "consent to any Trustee of my Trust to withhold, defer or retain" his distribution that unlocked at the age of 30, estimated at the value of $558,000.
In a response objecting to Reiner's petition, also obtained and reviewed by TheWrap, the defense argues that Paul Kanin, a former successor trustee, cannot act against the new trustee, Jodie Pais Montgomery, because he no longer controls the trust's ***** ets. The document also argues that Reiner's allegations of misconduct mischaracterize "ordinary, necessary features of trust administration and succession."
"Nick's sense of urgency is real, but it did not arise in a vacuum," argues the objection. "It arises from the deaths of his parents, the very settlors of the Trust at issue, and Nick is presently accused of causing those deaths. While Nick is presumed innocent of that accusation (and nothing in this Response and Objection should be read to suggest otherwise), no one, not this Court, nor the parties, knows how the criminal proceedings against Nick will ultimately resolve. A trustee administering a trust under that uncertainty is bound by the same fiduciary obligations as any trustee."

PHOENIX — Diana Taurasi stepped foot on the basketball court at the Mortgage Matchup Center on Sunday, Aug. 16, like she's done so many times throughout her 20-year career in Phoenix.
But this time was different. The Phoenix Mercury's game against Portland Fire doubled as Taurasi's Ring of Honor induction, where her No. 3 jersey was officially retired and hung in the rafters alongside Cheryl Miller, Jennifer Gillom (22), Bridget Pettis (32), Penny Taylor (13) and Michele Timms (7).
"Driving to the game today, I didn't know whether I was going to suit up and play, if it was my funeral or a celebration," Taurasi joked during her induction speech. "It's all of those things and it's amazing. And I wouldn't have it any other way because that's how I live every single day of my life. With every single one of those emotions in this building."
Despite the Mercury's 88-85 loss to the Fire, there was a sense of celebration both before and after the game because of Taurasi, the greatest scorer in WNBA history.

Hollywood is no stranger to star couples, whether it be fast flings or decades of romance. Plenty of actors have found love on the set of movies and TV shows, and eventually tied the knot. Here are some of the most notable celebrity romances that led to marriage after co-stars met on set.
Tom Holland and Zendaya met each during the casting process for 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming ("He says when we first met it was super awkward because he went for a handshake and I went for a hug," Zendaya told Variety. "But I don't remember that. I thought it was cool.") Despite years of speculation, their relationship wasn't confirmed until they were caught on film kissing in Los Angeles in 2021.
The actress reportedly moved into Holland's London home in 2023. The couple became engaged in late 2024, and have since hosted a private wedding celebration in Surrey, UK.

Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar first met on the set of I Know What You Did Last Summer in 1997, but they didn't start officially dating until 2000. They got engaged in 2001 and tied the knot in 2002. They also starred together in Scooby-Doo and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, in which they portrayed love interests Fred and Daphne. They have since welcomed two children.

Nick Reiner has been denied access to a trust fund set up by his parents due to a "slayer statute" in California.
This update in his case comes days after it was revealed he was indicted for the fatal stabbings of Rob and Michele Reiner.
Nick is scheduled to return to court for a pretrial hearing on Sept. 15. He is being held on no bail.
Nick Reiner has been blocked from accessing a trust fund set up by his parents to pay for court fees.
The incoming fiduciary set to oversee the trust, Jodi Pais Montgomery, who is obligated to Nick, along with his siblings Romy Reiner and Jake Reiner, is opposing the request for Nick to obtain the $1.5 million trust set up by director Rob Reiner and photographer Michele Reiner, who he is accused of killing.

PHOENIX — Many fans across the globe know Diana Taurasi as the WNBA's all-time leading scorer, with 10,646 points across her 20-year career in Phoenix. Or as a six-time Olympic gold medalist, the most in basketball history.
But the teammates and coaches she shared the court with throughout her career know Taurasi as so much more. She's the ultimate competitor, an elite trash-talker and fearless leader who pushed you (and your ****** ons).
"It could either ****** you off or it could either elevate you," Hall of Famer Swin Cash told USA TODAY Sports.
"The thing that separates the WNBA players and the greats is, what was the impact you had with your teammates, with the organization, with the community? As (Taurasi's) jersey goes into the rafters, think about all she created off the court for those that have opportunities, whether it's in Phoenix or whether it's back in her hometown in California. ... I don't think she ever had a big megaphone around that, but she did a lot."
USA TODAY Sports talked with Taurasi's teammates and coaches from every level of her career ahead of her jersey retirement on Sunday, Aug. 16, with her No. 3 joining Cheryl Miller, Jennifer Gillom (22), Bridget Pettis (32), Penny Taylor (13) and Michele Timms (7) in the Mercury's Ring of Honor. Here's the stories that they shared:

LAS VEGAS – Aces forward NaLyssa Smith continues to quietly strengthen her Most Improved Player of the Year case.
Despite the defending WNBA champions taking a 92-87 defeat to the league-leading Minnesota Lynx (29-7) on Saturday night at the Michelob ULTRA Arena, Smith — not for the first time this season — trotted off the hardwood with her head high.
Smith did what she was supposed to do, and then some, dropping a 17-point, 12-rebound double-double — on 7-for-13 from the field — with nine of the boards coming on the offensive end. It was her fourth double-double of the year and the third in the last five games.
In totality, the former No. 2 Draft pick was the only real support four-time A'ja Wilson had in trying to combat fire with fire against the Lynx's high-powered offense led by the lethal trio of rookie Olivia Miles, Napheesa Collier, and Kayla McBride.
Wilson poured in 32 points to go along with seven rebounds and three stocks. She went 10-for-15 from the floor and 11-for-12 at the free-throw line. Together, Wilson and Smith shot a combined 17-for-28 FG. The rest of the team went 14-for-41, including Jackie Young and Chelsea Gray going 8-for-26.

The home side began the game in control, pinning the opposition deep in their half. Nunes had the first chance curling a shot just wide of the post.
The Bees continued to push for the opener and Michel Boni's clever cross caused pinball action in the box and the eventual deflection off Mohamed Keita almost found his own net.
Carvalho went close, beating his opponent and then striking firmly at goal but his effort went wide.
Balcombe was called into action with the final shot of the first period and the goalkeeper made a tremendous stop to keep the scores level.
It was more of the same dominance as the young Bees continued to put pressure on the Blues in the second period. Neat combination from Dasilva and Carvalho saw the latter fizz a shot goalwards which Samuel Keller saved well.

FC Nantes are considering the dismissal of head coach Michel Der Zakarian should Antoine Kombouaré be available for a third spell in the dugout, according to a report on Sunday from Foot Mercato. Les Canaris are in disarray after losing their first two games of the Ligue 2 campaign following their relegation from the first tier in May. Nantes were powerless against Red Star (0-1) and conceded defeat in the dying minutes against Laval (2-1) after a blunder from Tylel Tati.
Nantes targeted an immediate return to Ligue 1 in 2027, but they now sit at the bottom of Ligue 2, which considerably weakens Der Zakarian's position. The former Nantes centre-back previously led Les Canaris to two Ligue 1 promotions, in 2008 and in 2013, in two different spells. But his third one could be cut short.
Foot Mercato reports that Nantes would part ways with Der Zakarian should there is a possibility for Kombouaré to return for a third spell at La Beaujoire. Kombouaré notably won the 2022 French Cup with his formative side. He was dismissed the following season only for him to return in 2024.
Let go at the end of the 2024-2025 campaign, Kombouaré oversaw a remarkable upturn in form at Paris FC, which he led to safety before PFC parted ways with him to appoint Liam Rosenior. Thr 62-year-old Kombouaré reportedly intends to take a short break from management.
