Jennifer Lopez is continuing her Paris Fashion Week style streak with another head-turning brown look. Just days after making a statement in a backless white lace dress, Lopez stepped out in a daring Stella McCartney gown. The look brought together several of the singer and actor's favorite red-carpet elements. It featured a figure-skimming silhouette and unexpected cutouts.
Lopez wore the Stella McCartney dress to a September 30 gala benefiting Naked Heart France in Paris. She posed alongside McCartney at the dinner, held at Langosteria at Cheval Blanc Paris. The event brought together guests including Natalia Vodianova, Bar Refaeli, and Taylor Hill. The dinner supported Naked Heart France's work with autistic children and their families.
The rich brown dress featured gathered fabric across the bodice, creating a draped effect that flowed down the front of the gown. But the biggest surprises came from the sides and back. A cutout exposed Lopez's midriff, while the backless construction revealed much of her back. The thigh-high slit rose dramatically along one side of the gown, putting one leg firmly in the spotlight.
Lopez kept the rest of the styling sleek, pairing the gown with black peep-toe heels, a matching clutch, a statement diamond ring, and small stud earrings. Her hair was pulled back with face-framing pieces, keeping the focus on the dress's dramatic open-back detail.
The singer recently made another daring fashion statement in a white lace dress. That dress also featured a completely open back and thigh-high slit. She styled the romantic, sheer design with white socks and black loafers, giving the glamorous look a surprisingly casual finish.

The Chloé girl was out in force for the house's spring 2027 show in Paris on Wednesday, and the front row offered almost as much of a study in the brand's bohemian shoe wardrobe as the runway itself.
Maude Apatow went full Chloé in the label's chunky Talis platform clogs, while Soo Joo Park and Natalia Bryant made a case for keeping sandals in rotation well past summer, wearing theirs with stockings.

Manon Fiorot and Alexa Grasso meet at Noche UFC on Saturday at Diamond Desert Arena in Glendale, Ariz. Check out this quick breakdown of the matchup from MMA Junkie ******* yst Dan Tom.
Last event's results: 4-2
UFC main cards, 2026: 100-55-1
After her flyweight ******* le loss to champ Valentina Shevchenko, Manon Fiorot (13-2 MMA, 8-1 UFC) got back in the win column in May with a quick knockout of Jasmine Jasudavicius. It was the fastest win of her career, just her second first-round win, and her first stoppage since 2021.
Alexa Grasso (17-5-1 MMA, 9-5-1 UFC) had consecutive losses to Valentina Shevchenko, in which she lost the flyweight ******* le, and upcoming vacant ******* le challenger Natalia Silva. But she bounced back in March in a big way with a $100,000 bonus-winning knockout of Maycee Barber in Seattle.

Valentina Shevchenko has suffered an injury that could keep her out for up to a year, forcing the UFC to strip her of the women's flyweight **** le. As a result, Natalia Silva and **** Cong will now battle for the vacant 125-pound belt in the main event of UFC 332 on October 3 at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City.
The promotion announced the news during Saturday's UFC Paris broadcast. Now, Shevchenko's longtime coach, Pavel Fedotov, has provided some insight into the injury that forced the former champion out of the event.
According to Telegram Ushatayka, Fedotov revealed that "Bullet" was originally scheduled to face Silva at UFC 332. However, ligament damage to her shoulder and back forced the Kyrgyzstani fighter to withdraw.

With the recovery expected to take a considerable amount of time, the team has opted to vacate the belt rather than hold up the division. Fedotov also made it clear that the goal is for Shevchenko to return and immediately fight for the **** le once she is healthy again.

Paulo Costa is stirring things up once again, calling out the UFC for refusing to book him in a ***** le fight for UFC 332.
UFC 332 goes down on October 3rd from Salt Lake City and is being headlined by a vacant women's flyweight ***** le fight between Natalia Silva and ***** Cong. Not only is that an extremely underwhelming fight to put atop a major numbered card, the UFC had record breaking women's 125 champ Valentina Shevchenko relinquish her ***** le so Silva vs. Cong would be for a belt.
According to Costa, none of this had to be. He was ready to fight at UFC 332 for an interim light heavyweight ***** le, but the promotion refused to do it.
"UFC could put LHW interim belt in line for this," Costa wrote on X (formerly Twitter). "I told them but they refused to, so *shrug*"
"Put the LHW interim belt in line and I WILL COME TO SAVE THE LHW DIVISION!" another tweet read. "UFC REFUSED TO PUT LWH INTERIM BELT IN LINE . Why? I don't know."

After weeks of delays and behind-the-scenes attempts to cobble something meaningful together, UFC 332 in Salt Lake City, Utah finally has a championship main event: Natalia Silva vs. ****** Cong for the vacant women's flyweight belt.
Wait, what? The flyweight belt that Valentina Shevchenko has defended a whopping nine times since 2018 across two ****** le runs? That's now vacant? When announcing Silva vs. Cong, they cited a "Bullet" injury but didn't really get into details on how the belt was put back up for grabs. A statement from Shevchenko's coach Pavel Fedotov gave a bit more info.
"We were supposed to fight on October 3 against Natalia Silva, but due to an injury to the ligaments in the shoulder and back, we decided not to push things and postpone the fight," Fedotov wrote (via Ushatayka). "Given that the recovery will take a long time, we've made the decision to temporarily vacate the belt, and once she recovers, she will fight for it again."
According to Fedotov, they're expecting the injury to take eight months to recover from.
In the past, you might expect to see an interim ****** le go up for grabs after similar injuries taking under a year to heal. But these days, the UFC has gotten into the habit of asking its injured champions to relinquish their belts. Jamahal Hill did it when he ruptured his Achilles tendon, and so did Jiri Prochazka when he injured his shoulder. Now we've got Valentina Shevchenko doing it.

There are performances that deserve applause, and others for which even a standing ovation falls short. That was the level of the symphony Natalia Mauleón conducted on the field at Estadio Jalisco, leading and executing the red-and-white attack in the 0-4 win over Atlas in the Clásico Tapatío.
Wearing No. 14, the Michoacán native hit the ground running in the fold as a signing for this Apertura 2026. Mauleón had already shown glimpses of her quality in her first appearances, but what she did last night was simply extraordinary.
Starting as an attacking midfielder, she supported Alicia Cervantes and Denise Castro in the Rebaño's attack, with width provided by Joseline Montoya and Jasmine Casarez down the flanks. From that advanced midfield role, thanks to the peripheral vision with which she reads moments, ****** es, and movements, 'Mau' became the undisputed focal point of the match, as every Guadalajara goal went through her feet.
On the first goal, she orchestrated the high press by staying close to the ball at all times so that, after Eva González won it back, a quick touch on the reception opened the inside lane for 'Jas' to burst through and finish for the goal.
The second goal was just as brilliant: it was Natalia herself who once again started the press, winning the ball in the final third and creating a textbook 3-on-2 at the edge of the box. Patiently, she waited for Denise to drift wide before slipping the ball to her at the perfect moment, leaving her to bury it first time.

Two-sport ONE World Champion Stella "Always Hungry" Hemetsberger marched into ONE Fight Night 46 bearing the absolute weight of two divisional crowns on her shoulders and soaring expectations of an entire nation.
She carried them beautifully, decimating dangerous Russian challenger Natalia "Karelian Lynx" Diachkova via knockout in the third round to make a commanding first defense of her ONE Women's Strawweight Muay Thai World **** le. The spectacular finish went down inside Bangkok's iconic Lumpinee Stadium on Friday, August 14, airing live in U.S. primetime on Prime Video.
As dramatic as the conclusion was, Hemetsberger met immediate resistance from her dangerous World **** le challenger. Riding a blistering string of knockouts, a fearless Diachkova pushed the opening pace in a frantic bid to overwhelm the reigning monarch with heavy punch combinations.
However, the 27-year-old has been in the wringer before. Showcasing the disciplined composure of a warrior, Hemetsberger weathered the early aggression with an unwavering belief in her superior striking.
The Salzburg native said:

#World #hemetsberger #diachkova #challenger

Some fighters change the moment undisputed gold wraps around their waist. Two-sport ONE World Champion Stella "Always Hungry" Hemetsberger has simply refused to let it reshape her identity.
The Austrian superstar will bring that exact same humble mindset when she defends her ONE Women's Strawweight Muay Thai World ******* le for the first time against Russian standout Natalia "Karelian Lynx" Diachkova.
This highly anticipated clash serves as the main event of ONE Fight Night 46 on Prime Video, broadcasting live in U.S. primetime from the world-famous Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on Friday, August 14.
The RS-GYM and ******* et Fight Club representative first overcame Jackie Buntan at ONE Fight Night 35 to capture the vacant Muay Thai crown. Five months later, the Austrian striking ace dethroned the Filipino-American in another highly technical five-round battle to claim the ONE Women's Strawweight Kickboxing World Championship.
It has now been six months since Hemetsberger officially etched her name into the history books, becoming only the third female athlete to capture gold in two disciplines — joining Stamp Fairtex and Janet "JT" Todd — in ONE Championship.

Long before she became one of the organization's most feared strikers, Natalia "Karelian Lynx" Diachkova was a 12-year-old girl in a small Russian province who fell in love with the sound of a heavy bag.
That heavy bag has led her to the upcoming headliner of ONE Fight Night 46 on Prime Video, where she challenges two-sport queen Stella "Always Hungry" Hemetsberger for the ONE Women's Strawweight Muay Thai World ***** le. The event streams live in U.S. primetime this Friday, August 14, from Bangkok's historic Lumpinee Stadium.
It is the biggest opportunity of a career built on hardship long before it was ever built on highlight-reel knockouts. To understand exactly what this shot at gold means to the 31-year-old, the story has to start at the very beginning.
Diachkova found her way into combat sports through an unlikely spark. Her father, who had originally hoped for a son, brought her to a wrestling gym in the small city of Petrozavodsk when she was just 12 years old.
Wrestling never took, but everything changed the moment she watched a local coach named Ivan working a heavy bag inside a newly opened Muay Thai gym nearby. She described that moment as something close to love at first sight, the kind of feeling that stays with a person for life.

Two World **** les. One relentless standard. Austrian superstar Stella "Always Hungry" Hemetsberger has absolutely no intention of letting either slip when she steps through the ropes at ONE Fight Night 46 on Prime Video.
The 27-year-old makes her first defense of the ONE Women's Strawweight Muay Thai World **** le against Russian standout Natalia "Karelian Lynx" Diachkova in the main event of the blockbuster card, which will broadcast live in U.S. primetime this Friday, August 14, from Bangkok's historic Lumpinee Stadium.
The past 12 months have been nothing short of remarkable for Hemetsberger. She defeated Jackie Buntan in back-to-back matchups to capture both the ONE Women's Strawweight Kickboxing World **** le and the Muay Thai crown.
Both victories proved that the Salzburgian — only the third two-sport ONE World Champion in the women's division after Stamp Fairtex and Janet "JT" Todd — is no ordinary talent. However, none of that success has softened her competitive edge.
True to the moniker she has carried throughout her steady rise, the Austrian insists the version of herself stepping in against Diachkova is no different from the highly motivated newcomer who first turned heads on ONE Friday Fights.

ONE Championship has finalized the ONE Fight Night 46 on Prime Video lineup with the addition of a highly anticipated flyweight MMA contest between New Zealand-Vietnamese finisher Viet Anh Do and Brazilian promotional newcomer Davi "Ajuricaba" Brandao.
The bout goes down on Friday, August 14, inside Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on a blockbuster card headlined by a ONE Women's Strawweight Muay Thai World Championship clash between reigning two-sport queen Stella "Always Hungry" Hemetsberger and dangerous Russian challenger Natalia "Karelian Lynx" Diachkova.
The 29-year-old Auckland MMA and Oliver MMA South Auckland product carries a perfect 6-0 career MMA record into this contest, all six victories coming via finish, and a 5-0 promotional ledger built on a series of increasingly emphatic performances that have made him one of the most talked-about stars in the flyweight MMA division.
After competing at ONE Warrior Series twice in 2019, Do returned to the ONE Friday Fights event series in 2025 with a TKO victory in less than three minutes, then followed it up nearly two months later by flatlining Jean Claude Saclag in under a minute.
The performance that defined his rise came in May this year, when he demolished South Korea's "Money" Kyungjung Kim via TKO to claim not only the win and a performance bonus but the coveted US$100,000 main roster contract that brings him to August 14.

Michael Bisping did everything in his power to keep this week's The Ultimate Fighter 34 fight from being canceled; unfortunately for his team, his efforts ended up working in Daniel Cormier's favor.
Team Cormier took the lead at 3-2 on the season with Brazilian strawweight Tina Black winning a grudge match against countrywoman Natalia Alves. The former Invicta FC champion out-struck Alves and foiled her attempts to take her to the ground, then capped off her performance with a knockout flurry late in Round 2.
Watch the finish below.
There was plenty of drama leading up to the fight, including Bisping tricking Black's coach outside of the show, UFC Hall of Famer Urijah Faber, into believing that Black was on his team so that he would reveal the Team Cormier fighter's weaknesses.
With knowledge of Black's supposed limitations in hand, Alves was to utilize her wrestling to dominate the fight, but it didn't go according to plan and her teammate, TUF 34 guest blogger Xavier Franklin explained what went wrong.

ONE Fight Night 46 on Prime Video just received a double dose of MMA intrigue.
Two compelling mixed martial arts contests have been added to the August 14 card. Jhanlo Mark "The Machine" Sangiao meets Marcos Aurelio in a bantamweight showdown, while Natalie Salcedo welcomes undefeated Polish newcomer Magdalena Czaban in an atomweight clash.
The event broadcasts live in U.S. primetime from Bangkok's historic Lumpinee Stadium and is headlined by Stella "Always Hungry" Hemetsberger's ONE Women's Strawweight Muay Thai World **** le defense against Natalia "Karelian Lynx" Diachkova.
For Sangiao, the matchup represents a chance to build serious momentum in one of ONE Championship's most stacked MMA divisions.
The Team Lakay prince returned to action in style last year, submitting hard-charging Mongolian Shinechagtga Zoltsetseg with just 18 seconds remaining in their dramatic three-round battle. That victory erased the sting of his first professional defeat and reminded fans why the 24-year-old Filipino remains one of the most exciting talents in the bantamweight MMA ranks.

Did you know that the 34th season of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF), coached by UFC Hall of Famers Daniel Cormier and Michael Bisping, is currently airing on Paramount+ every Tuesday?
Well, if not, I got you covered.
In the fifth episode, Cormier’s No. 1 women’s pick and top Brazilian prospect Valesca Machado, better known as “Tina Black,” scored a blistering technical knockout win over fellow countrywoman Natalia Alves in the second round of their quarterfinal matchup inside the Meta Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.
And it was not close.
Machado was the much more experienced fighter, and it showed almost immediately. In the first round, Alves — a grappling specialist — tried desperately to get the fight to the ground, but Machado shut down every takedown attempt and made her pay for it on the feet.

North West made a statement at Vetements' Spring/Summer 2027 menswear show during Paris Fashion Week, debuting an edgy new faux facial-piercing look that perfectly matched her signature alternative style. The 13-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West arrived in blue pigtails with her apparent angel-bite lip studs drawing attention. But North was far from the only headline-making guest. Sharon Stone returned to the runway for the first time in more than three decades, while Britney Spears' sons Sean Preston and Jayden James both took to the catwalk in their modelling debuts. Olivia Palermo, Natalia Vodianova and Alexandre Grimaldi were also among the glamorous crowd.
North West ensured all eyes were on her with an edgy all-black Vetements look. The 13-year-old paired an oversized graphic top with a pleated mini skirt, sheer tights and chunky black boots wrapped in oversized silver chains. Her vivid turquoise-blue hair was styled into high pigtails, while her apparent faux lip, cheek and nose jewellery, spiked collar and dramatic manga-inspired makeup gave the outfit a full punk-pop finish.
Britney Spears and Kevin Federline's eldest son, Sean Preston Spears, made a confident runway appearance in a striking all-black ensemble. He wore a long satin-finish black coat with graphic patches and labels , layered over a black **** on-down shirt and necktie. Faded blue jeans and glossy black shoes gave the tailored look a deliberately undone edge, perfectly suited to Vetements' subversive approach to menswear.
Jayden joined his older brother Sean on the Vetements runway, opting for a more stripped-back take on the collection. Britney's younger son wore a fitted white tank top with relaxed pale-blue jeans, finished with a brown leather belt, oversized buckle and a cluster of chains at his hip. Dark leather shoes and softly tousled hair completed the effortless, off-duty look.
Sharon made one of the show's most memorable runway appearances, returning to the Paris Fashion Week catwalk more than 30 years after her last turn for Valentino. The Basic Instinct star wore an oversized white blazer over a black shirt and white tie, paired with ultra-shiny black thigh-high boots. Her sleek centre-parted blonde bob and understated makeup allowed the sharply tailored, high-contrast look to take centre stage.

June 2 (Reuters) - Argentine Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno said on Tuesday ‌the country intends to join ‌the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and will present its application on Wednesday in Paris.
The CPTPP is a free trade accord among ‌12 countries. ⁠It was first established in 2018 among Australia, Brunei, Canada, ⁠Chile, ******* an, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam. Britain joined in 2024 and China also hopes ‌to join.
Argentina's plans to join the pact follow its backing for other trade deals in recent months, including a reciprocal trade and investment ‌agreement with the United States and the Mercosur-European Union agreement.
"We will continue to ‌make rapid progress on these agreements," Quirno said during a virtual address to the 43rd Congress of the ‌Argentine Institute of Finance Executives.
