As a long-time host of "The View," Joy Behar is known for her outspokenness, which sometimes causes scandals, such as dragging Melania Trump when insulting Donald Trump. Other than her political views and wild on-show feuds, Behar is recognized for her polished looks behind the desk. The TV personality has been vocal about her signature, face-framing blowout and the fact that she's not a natural redhead. While Behar isn't hesitant to discuss any cosmetic changes, she's also not afraid to wear a makeup look that's more minimal than her usual television glam.

In August 2026, Behar went to ****** town Kitchen in Provincetown, Massachusetts. The TV host, wearing an all-black outfit, posed with ****** town Kitchen's owner Willy Garcia for the restaurant's Instagram post. Behar kept her makeup simple by wearing gray eyeshadow and a red lip. Overall, Behar's skin looks amazing in her 80s. Her forehead, chin, and cheeks seem smooth. Her cheeks also look plump for someone in their twilight years, which could be a result of having good skin and investing in nonsurgical skin treatments. She also wore her hair down without the volume that fans of "The View" are used to seeing on screen.

Katie Holmes is embracing a more natural look with an ultra-chic, fresh-faced appearance during a high-profile night out at Paris Fashion Week.
Stepping out alongside her boyfriend, artist Jason Bard Yarmosky, the 47-year-old actress turned heads by ditching heavy glamour in favor of an effortless, makeup-free glow. Her romantic-looking appearance in the French capital proves once again that her signature minimalist style reigns supreme on the global stage.
According to Marie Claire, Holmes brought her "Mansur Gavriel tote to Paris Fashion Week. There, the bucket-style sling became the pop of color against her black blazer, shade-matched stilettos, and white, feather-trimmed skirt from the London label Tove."

PARIS — Receiving an invitation to the theater from Christian Louboutin during Paris Fashion Week, one can be **** ured to be in for a treat. Through his "Loubi Show" format, the shoe guru has repeatedly shown a knack for conjuring loud spectacles and enlisting a vast array of talents to collaborate with — and the latest installation staged at Théâtre du Châtelet here on Friday was no exception. The designer called on no less than Dita Von Teese to present his spring 2027 collection, centered on celebrating his iconic La Pigalle pump. Named after the famous Parisian district and first introduced in 2004, the style has become a Louboutin signature with its sleek proportions expressing the sensuality embedded in the brand. A moment of the "Eternal Youth" show starring Dita Von Teese. Benjamin Malapris/Courtesy of Christian Louboutin To match the vibe, Louboutin asked Von Teese to do what she does best: seduce the audience with wit, in a performance that drew a packed guest list headlined by Cynthia Erivo, Elizabeth Debicki and Jaden Smith, who Louboutin tapped last year to become his first men's creative director roughly 15 years after he first expanded his red-soled universe into men's.

Kate Middleton showed that green is one of her go-to colors for fall. While visiting the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust in London, England, on September 11, 2026, the Princess of Wales arrived in a green apple midi dress by the British brand Suzannah London. The silk dress, known as the Flippy Wiggle Dress, featured black ****** ons running down the front with a tonal belt and short, capped sleeves. The dress was a re-wear for the royal; she first stepped out in the frock on May 18, 2023, while visiting the Anna Freud Centre in London. She likes that particular dress style so much that she also stepped out in a white version of the Flippy Wiggle dress with black detailing in July 2026. The white dress was Middleton's summer choice, while the green apple version is better suited to fall.
The hospital visit was a deeply personal one for the princess; Middleton received cancer treatment at the Royal Marsden Hospital in 2024, and so her visit during fall 2026 was an opportunity to connect with current patients and hospital staff. While it was obviously a very meaningful visit, it was also fitting that she chose to wear a green dress. In fashion, green symbolizes hope and new life, so her dress was a gesture of goodwill toward those in recovery.

Kate Middleton has become an undisputed muse of fall fashion, and her enviable wardrobe provides endlessfall outfit inspo, featuring green as her signature color for the season. She wore the green apple Suzannah London dress on September 11, 2026, as proof. A few days earlier, on September 8, 2026, the princess wore a green Emilia Wickstead dress when she and Prince William dropped off Prince George for his first day at the elite boarding school, Eton College. It seems she's all about green for these meaningful events.

Perms, shoulder pads and sequins, the 1980s had some memorable style signatures that were worn by Hollywood icons like Maureen O'Hara, Shelley Winters and Doris Day, who were all in their sixties during this era.
But when you compare their style to how 60-something stars like Julianne Moore and Sandra Bullock look today, it couldn't be more different! Let's take a look…
1/12
Peggy Lee continued to perform during her sixties in the 1980s, and always maintained her signature glamorous look with a platinum blonde wig, animal print outfits and sequin embellishments. She even bedazzled a cane she used for mobility issues with sequins!
Now 65, actress Julianne Moore could easily be mistaken for being much younger with her gorgeous auburn hair and youthful style such as this double denim ensemble.

Elvis Presley's iconic stage looks are as singular as his music.
The King of Rock and Roll's signature style was defined by the jumpsuits he often wore to perform, which are displayed at the popular Graceland exhibit "Elvis: Dressed to Rock" in Memphis, Tenn.
In August 2026, the historic estate and former home of the rocker released From the Graceland Archives: The Jumpsuit Anthology, a 320-page hardcover coffee table book that features Presley's iconic stage wear from 1969 to 1976, organized chronologically by the year each jumpsuit debuted.
The book features the work of Bill Belew, who first worked with Presley to design outfits for his 1968 NBC television special. Belew later became the star's personal designer, creating his looks for both on stage and off.
Here, discover nine little-known facts from the book about Presley's fashion looks throughout his career.

Shivon Zilis, Elon Musk's longtime partner and the mother of four of his children, has announced their split in a lengthy post on X.
Zilis, who previously worked at Musk's car company Tesla and is now at his technology firm Neuralink, is mother to four of the billionaire's 14 known children. The pair's romance dates back to 2016, though the details of their relationship have been kept quiet.

"I feel happy that I got to show Elon how it feels to be deeply understood, nurtured, and peacefully loved with stability and gentleness. Given the tumultuous nature of his early life, his often tortured soul, and how hard he fights for humanity I wanted him to feel the deepest and most stable form of love this world can provide. My heart is full knowing I got to do that, and I hope it leaves a lasting good effect.
"We were always his safe **** e," she continued. "A place where all of us were overjoyed to see him and one that was always full of happiness and love, not war, in contrast to his otherwise militant existence (a needed break from the battlefield where he could recharge his heart and soul before heading back out).

Michael Douglas is owning up to an on-set romance that he has kept secret for 40 years.
The Oscar-winning actor, now 82, revealed in his new memoir One ****** uva Ride that he and his former co-star Kathleen Turner, now 72, fell in love while filming the 1984 blockbuster Romancing the Stone in Mexico.
At the time, Douglas — who has been married to Catherine Zeta-Jones since 2000 — was separated from Diandra Luker, his first wife and the mother of his son Cameron. He recalled meeting Turner during the casting process and hitting it off right away.
"Kathleen was smart, funny, and ****** y with a deep, sultry voice that became her signature," he wrote, according to an excerpt of the memoir obtained by People. "I instantly liked her, and we were immediately attracted to each other. "
The Fatal Attraction actor continued: "Things at home were in a bad place. Diandra and I were both having extramarital affairs... I left for Mexico still technically married, but separated."

Elon Musk and his on-and-off girlfriend have broken up.
In a post shared on X on Friday, October 2, Shivon Zilis, who shares four children with the Tesla cofounder, 55, revealed that Musk had let her "go" with "no warning" just a week after seemingly being "in love."
"I feel happy that I got to show Elon how it feels to be deeply understood, nurtured, and peacefully loved with stability and gentleness. Given the tumultuous nature of his early life, his often tortured soul, and how hard he fights for humanity, I wanted him to feel the deepest and most stable form of love this world can provide.

For his first-ever fashion show, Martin Andrijasevic, one half of the fan-favorite content-creating duo Slushy Noobz, used a face wash. "I washed my face with a cleanser, which I don't do normally and I probably should, but I thought that this would be a great day to do it," he tells Teen Vogue. Hamzah Al-Emad, the other star of Slushy Noobz, commemorated the moment with deodorant and Chapstick. "Feeling confident," he adds.
Attending Acne Studios' Women's Spring Summer 2027 show at Paris Fashion Week, Andrijasevic and Al-Emad, were dressed by the brand and styled by Kim Russell. A pink polo and low-rise pinstripe pants, complete with the Camero shoulder bag, gave Andrijasevic's front row look a Y2K flair. Al-Emad similarly wore a 00s-inspired outfit with a faux fur-trimmed jacket and jeans in Acne Studios' signature distressed wash.
Teen Vogue caught up with Slushy Noobz as they got ready for the show, discussing everything from mogging to their fashion icons.
Martin: Because it's only the coolest thing ever. We like fashion. We dress up a lot.

With the amount of information available on the internet, it can sometimes be difficult to keep up. Nya (nyaajadee) faced a similar problem when she helped her boyfriend purchase a thrifted shirt for work and later learned that the brand that made the shirt, Sean John, was owned by none other than rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs.
For those wondering why Combs' ****** ociation with the brand is controversial, he is currently incarcerated at the Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution. He is serving a 50-month prison sentence following a criminal conviction in October 2025 for transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution.
So how did Nya learn about the shirt's controversial nature? In a TikTok video, she said that when her boyfriend wore it to the restaurant bar where he works, his colleagues started to laugh at him. "They were like, ****** , dude, a Sean John shirt? Like, you're kind of crazy," Nya said, recounting what his co-workers told him. Nya also shared that her boyfriend repeatedly asked them questions, as he was unaware of what was happening before finally realizing that Sean John was Diddy's clothing brand.
Nya said that after some back and forth, her boyfriend eventually realized that Sean John was Diddy's clothing brand. "We didn't know it was f****** Diddy. I didn't. I knew Diddy. I thought Diddy had pants. Just pants. I knew Diddy had pants. I didn't know he had shirts, too. But also, I didn't know that his clothing company was called Sean John," Nya said. She added, "So I helped my boyfriend pick out a Diddy shirt. What did Sean John do? What did Sean John not do?"
Turns out some people in the comments were as unaware as Nya about Diddy's clothing brand, despite knowing about his criminal conduct. One person wrote, "I didn't even know he made clothes." Another individual reacted similarly and said, "I guess I'm one millennial that was left out the loop lol because I didn't actually know his name other then his stage name, also did not know he had a clothing line."

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military is dispatching roughly 9,000 troops aboard a group of ships to the Middle East, a U.S. official said Thursday. The bolstering of the American military presence comes as President Donald Trump warned anew that new strikes against Iran could be on the horizon.
The troop movement, which includes a third aircraft carrier, underscores the rapidly evolving dynamic of Trump's war against Iran as he ponders his next move, with midterm elections in the United States looming large and new signs that the nature of the conflict may be becoming more complex.
Trump has threatened that a post-midterm election escalation — despite his initial promises to Americans of a campaign that would last a matter of weeks — remains a viable option. Further complicating matters, Trump told reporters Thursday that early indications suggest that Iran is linked to the FlyDubai co-pilot who stabbed his captain and tried to crash an Israel-bound flight on Wednesday.
In an exchange with reporters at the White House, Trump raised the connection when asked by a reporter if there were any links between the pilot behind the attack and Tehran.
"I would say the answer, based on what I'm hearing, is 'yes,' but we're working on it right now," Trump said, without offering details.

Striking a blow to Mayor Mamdani’s rollout of his signature pied-à-terre tax, a New York City judge on Tuesday ruled in favor of owners of pricey second homes and ordered the city to restart the process.
Staten Island Supreme Court Justice Wayne Ozzi found that notices the city mailed to homeowners informing them that they may be subject to the surcharge were unlawful and had to be canceled and re-sent. He also ruled that a supplemental property tax roll posted online must be taken down.
“No crime is involved here, but homeowners are being substantially harmed and penalized needlessly,” Ozzi wrote in his 22-page decision, referring to the city’s controversial rollout of the tax on high-value second homes.

Gold is the ******* et people buy when they have stopped believing in promises. Then most of them hand it to a bank in another country for safekeeping, which is itself a promise.
That arrangement is older than most of the world's central banks. The Bank of England has provided gold custody services to developing nations for decades, according to Reuters, and it usually works for the simple reason that ******* ody involved has any incentive to argue about it.
Custody is boring. It stays boring right up until two governments claim the same account.

Tegan Lecheler, founder and director of Mothers & Infant Cash Coalition, told Fox News Digital its support for cash ****** istance has been praised by the right.
Although guaranteed income programs have faced partisan pushback nationwide since gaining national traction in 2018, a growing faction of conservatives is finding common ground with direct cash initiatives centered on mothers and newborns.
According to Tegan Lecheler, national program director for the Mother and Infant Cash Coalition (MICC), the "common-sense" nature of early childhood cash transfers has prompted conservative lawmakers and advocates to reach out to her organization in support.
"I think we're in a really polarized time politically right now," Lecheler told Fox News Digital. "We are not a political organization and want to work to improve families' outcomes. We believe an effective strategy for doing that is to build a big tent – a wide tent with a lot of people underneath it."

On Sept. 16, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 417 to 3 to pass the Ratepayer Protection Act. Importantly, the bill still needs to pass the Senate and be signed into law by the President.
Given the bill's bipartisan nature and its strong passage in the House, there is a good chance the Ratepayer Protection Act will eventually become law in some form. That could affect several industries, especially certain nuclear stocks.

Business executives consider artificial intelligence a leading tool for decision-making, with 61% citing large language models such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Copilot among the sources that most influence their strategic decisions, AI enterprise planning platform Board said in a report released Wednesday.
The finding was most ***** ounced among CFOs, with 69% citing LLMs among the resources that inform their decisions, compared with 58% of chief operating officers and 56% of chief information officers.
"CFOs, by nature, are typically a little bit more conservative and skeptical, so I think what this shows is that the AI wave is so strong that it can't be ignored," Board CFO Gordon Pothier said in an interview.
The findings come just a few years after ChatGPT burst onto the market, highlighting how quickly advanced AI tools have reshaped the way businesses operate and make decisions.

The U.S. fuel crisis stemming from the ongoing war in Iran has now reached the retail shelf, with Costco Wholesale (COST) nearly doubling the price of its Kirkland Signature full-synthetic motor oil from roughly $30 to $58 per 5-quart two-pack, while simultaneously capping purchases at two units per membership every seven days.
It's an extraordinary move for a retailer whose entire brand identity rests on bulk buying at deep discounts, and it signals that severe supply chain disruptions are spreading well beyond the gasoline pump.

Our ******* ysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here.
The oil crisis is leaking into other parts of the car. Costco, the land of big and cheap, flipped the script and doubled the price of its full-synthetic motor oil and started rationing purchases. As crude pushes toward $100 a barrel, a 10-quart case that cost roughly $30 now runs $57.99, with purchases capped at two units per member per week.
U.S. diesel crossed $6 a gallon for the first time this week, and global oil inventories have drawn down more than 500 million barrels since the U.S.-Iran conflict began. This is affecting the entire crude industrial complex.
Base oil, which is the feedstock for motor oil, comes from the same barrel as gasoline and diesel so when refiners can earn more finishing crude into fuel than into lubricants, lubricant stock gets squeezed first.
The pressure for Costco, however, is more intense: Its signature Kirkland oil carries GM's Dexos1 Gen 3 certification, which requires manufacturers to pay GM separately per product and per unit sold. As a result, and much against its brand ethos, changing your own oil with Kirkland product now costs roughly what an independent shop would charge, thus eroding the DIY savings case entirely.
