Kate Moss, Jordyn Woods, Elle Fanning and more stars took their footwear back to basics at the front rows of spring 2027 New York Fashion Week. The stars opted out of the flashier shoe trends popping up on the runways. Instead, they punctuated their looks with classic pointed-toe pumps, breathing new life into a timeless classic. Kate Moss GC Images Moss attended the Tommy Hilfiger fashion show at The Plaza Hotel on Thursday. The supermodel went for a laid-back ****** on-up and jeans look, but elevated it by wearing the Gianvito Rossi Gianvito 105 high-heel style in black. The Gianvito 105 is the luxury shoe designer's signature style. The shoes are crafted from a rich, smooth napa leather and are defined by a sleek 105mm stiletto heel and a statement pointy toe. The shoes feature a flattering, low-cut vamp that exposes the front of the foot. Elle Fanning GC Images Fanning attended the Coach spring 2027 fashion show at Basketball City on Wednesday. She wore a statement leopard-print double-breasted coat paired with a white star-studded Coach Tabby bag from the brand's resort 2027 collection.

The son of British soccer star David Beckham and Spice Girls member Victoria Beckham has left some onlookers disappointed with his New York Fashion Week runway debut.
On Sept. 10, the first day of New York Fashion Week, Romeo Beckham walked in Tommy Hilfiger's Spring/Summer 2027 presentation held in the lobby of The Plaza Hotel in Midtown Manhattan.
The 24-year-old model was the last to walk the runway, claiming the most coveted slot at most fashion shows.
The closing spot is typically reserved for the collection's most important or defining outfit, often modeled by the biggest name on the runway. Still, despite his high profile, some did not believe Romeo deserved the honor.
Romeo walked the runway in a relaxed style with his hands in his pockets, his face expressionless. He modeled a light pink ****** on-up shirt with a color-block tie, a flannel, gray shorts, and brown leather loafers with black socks.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's dog Wendy appeared in the athlete's new Tommy Hilfiger campaign.
On September 10, the fashion designer walked a similar-looking pup on the runway during his brand's Spring 2027 fashion show.
Swift and Kelce were first spotted with Wendy in July.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's new dog already has a supermodel lookalike. Their pup Wendy recently appeared with Kelce in a Tommy Hilfiger campaign, and now, the designer has officially debuted a runway-ready doppelganger.
On September 10, Hilfiger walked a white Samoyed during the finale of his Spring 2027 fashion show at the Plaza Hotel, causing some fans to speculate that the dog was Swift and Kelce's. Page Six confirmed that it was, in fact, a different pooch, which was "intended as a playful nod" to Kelce's campaign.

NEW YORK – Concrete jungle where dreams are made of, there's nothing Tommy Hilfiger can't do.
The designer brought together an A-list crowd for his spectacle of a New York Fashion Week show at the famed Plaza Hotel in Midtown Manhattan Thursday afternoon.
The front row brought together some of the winners of the summer that brought New Yorkers together: New York Knicks stars and NBA Finals champions Josh Hart, Miles McBride and Karl-Anthony Towns (plus Towns' new wife, Jordyn Woods), as well as "Love Island USA" winner Trinity Tatum, all of whom New Yorkers cheered on while gathered at watch parties in summer 2026.
A gaggle of onlookers and perhaps 100 photographers crowded the entrance, hoping to catch a glimpse of one of the massive stars in attendance Sept. 10, including Kate Moss, former Knicks star Carmelo Anthony, Jisoo, Camila Cabello, Patrick Schwarzenegger and more.
Screams penetrated the air both indoors and outdoors: Former "Real Housewives" star Lisa Rinna exclaimed as she ran into actor Lukas Gage, and fans outside screamed for K-pop princess Jisoo.

Actress Aubrey Plaza offloaded the Los Angeles property her late spouse Jeff Baena died in by suicide for $4.4 million—nearly one year after she put it on the market for $6.5 million.
Plaza, 42, who is recently gave birth to her first child with partner Christopher Abbott, originally purchased the home for $4.7 million in October 2022, when it became a marital home for the onscreen star and Baena.
However, in January 2025, Baena tragically died by suicide inside the property, and eight months later, Plaza chose to put it on the market, with an asking price of $6.5 million. That ask was lowered to $5.75 million just a few months later.
Still, the actress struggled to find a buyer—with sources telling Realtor.com® at the time that, while the four-bedroom abode had come under offer several times, the deals always fell through before they could officially close.
By May of this year, the property had been removed from the market altogether, before being relisted a few days later, with a new agent—Carl Gambino of The Gambino Group at Compass—and a much lower asking price: $5.3 million.

Florida football officially kicks off a new era Saturday with Jon Sumrall's first game as Gators head coach.
The start of a new season – regardless of the coach – brings an excitement that's been held in a box throughout the long summer months.
But on UF campus Saturday, that excitement felt diminished. Call it the humid weather with on and off rain. Call it the late kickoff. Call it the less than marquee opponent in Florida Atlantic. Call it the holiday weekend.
Regardless, Plaza of the Americas – the hotbed of campus – looked eerily quiet three hours before kickoff.
Glenn Denning reflected that vibe. The Gainesville resident remembered when he first began tailgating on Plaza of the Americas when it stood packed with tents.

There's a new addition to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's family. The famous couple's white, fluffy Samoyed pup made her public debut in a new ad campaign.
The dog, rumored to be named Wendy, was first spotted earlier this summer when she stepped off a plane in Palm Springs with her Kansas City Chiefs tight end father and Grammy-winning mom. Alas, the world received no formal introduction to the pup — until Tuesday, when she appeared in a Tommy Hilfiger ad campaign alongside Kelce. The new ad shows Kelce checking into the Plaza Hotel with one very good girl by his side.
In an interview with Vogue about the campaign, which also features stars like Swift's bestie Gigi Hadid, Kelce said that their pup "lights up my day." So, naturally, when Tommy Hilfiger was seeking a dog to accompany Kelce in the campaign, the nepo puppy was the ideal choice.
Meet Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's new dog.
"We figured, why not her? She crushed it and actually really fit into that Tommy aesthetic too," he told the magazine. "Those are some of my favorite shots."

Aoris Investment Management, a specialist international equity manager, released its Q2 2026 investor letter for "Aoris International Fund". A copy of the letter can be downloaded here. The fund invests in high-quality, wealth-generating businesses managed by prudent and capable teams, targeting an annual return of 8–12% after fees over a 5–7-year market cycle. During the June quarter, international equity markets, as represented by the MSCI AC World Accumulation Index ex Australia, returned 13.8% in AUD terms. In local currencies, the return 15.1%. The Portfolio's Class A (Unhedged) returned 5.7% after fees, underperforming its benchmark by 8.1%, while the Class C (Hedged) gained 6.7%, 8.4% less than its benchmark. The June quarter continued to reflect an unusual year, marked by significant share price increases among AI infrastructure companies, particularly semiconductor producers and data center suppliers. Economic sectors like banks and commodity producers saw gains, but the firm chose not to invest due to their cyclicality and low growth prospects. Conversely, concerns about enterprise software and data companies, challenged by AI, negatively impacted performance. The letter outlined potential incremental opportunities for portfolio companies through AI. Additionally, reviewing the Fund's top five holdings could help identify its best picks for 2026.
In its Q2 2026 investor letter, Aoris Investment Management highlighted InterContinental Hotels Group PLC (NYSE:IHG). InterContinental Hotels Group PLC (NYSE:IHG) is a leading hospitality company owns, manages, franchises, and leases hotels globally. On August 21, 2026, InterContinental Hotels Group PLC (NYSE:IHG) closed at $159.91 per share, reflecting a market capitalization of $23.55 billion. InterContinental Hotels Group PLC (NYSE:IHG) posted a one‑month return of 0.25%, while its shares gained 32.18% over the past 52 weeks.
Aoris Investment Management stated the following regarding InterContinental Hotels Group PLC (NYSE:IHG) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
"InterContinental Hotels Group PLC (NYSE:IHG) is a brand owner and franchisor of global hotel chains, including Holiday Inn, InterContinental and Crowne Plaza. Hotel owners pay IHG a franchise fee in exchange for access to its brands, loyalty program, and IT systems to help manage their properties, reservations and pricing. IHG franchisees earn better economics than independent hotels, which is why an increasing share of new and existing hotels are choosing to partner with IHG.
IHG's technology systems are a core advantage over smaller chains and independent hotels. AI can widen this gap through improvements in its search functions, booking process, customer service, pricing, marketing, and operational efficiency. For example, IHG is developing AI-powered conversational search to help guests book properties and receive more detailed information about its franchisees' rooms and services.…" (Click here to read the full text)

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Athletics' stadium on the Las Vegas Strip is beginning to resemble the final product, with the second steel truss arch added this week for what will eventually provide a similar look to Australia's famed Sydney Opera House.
"This week was a very exciting week," said Tyler Van Eeckhaut, project director for contractors Mortenson-McCarthy. "We set the center truss, which kicks off with a tremendous amount of work for the next upcoming months."
A's President Marc Badain said following Thursday's Las Vegas Stadium Authority meeting that the $2 billion, 33,000-person capacity domed ballpark remains on schedule to be completed in time for the 2028 season.
"I think everyone's very pleased," Badain said. "The workforce in this community has delivered on hundreds of projects over the last 30, 40, 50 years, so certainly we're not surprised. It's nice to see the vision come to life and see the trusses come up and take their part in the skyline, and it's going to be a nice anchor on the south part of the Strip. Certainly the first building you see when you land at Harry Reid Airport."
There was a concern at the prior Stadium Authority meeting over whether the A's might have to build a temporary plaza to be ready when the ballpark opens. Bally's Corp. at that time hadn't yet raised financing for an elevated plaza on the property as part of a $1.19 billion mixed-use project that includes restaurants, shopping and entertainment in addition to a hotel-casino and 2,500-seat theater.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Kennedy Center has told a federal court that it would not attempt to return President Donald Trump's name to the building's facade before at least Sept. 8 as another legal battle over the performing arts venue's future takes shape.
In a status report filed late Tuesday, opponents of the move said members of the Kennedy Center's Trump-aligned board "seem intent" on defying an earlier court order requiring the Republican president's name to be removed from the building. The Kennedy Center said it would not move forward with the plans until after Labor Day "at the earliest" to allow time for legal arguments.
Lawyers for Rep. Joyce Beatty, an Ohio Democrat who is an ex officio member of the board, pressed U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper for an earlier ruling, arguing there is "every reason to believe that Defendants will attempt to effectuate some or part of this latest unlawful resolution at the earliest opportunity after September 8."
A board meeting this month that was expected to largely focus on options to close the Kennedy Center for renovations instead transformed into another push to attach Trump's name to the building, part of a broader move by the president and his supporters to leave a physical mark on the nation's capital.
The board passed a resolution to name the plaza in front of the building after Trump and add his name to the venue's facade so it would read "The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Restored and Renovated By President Donald J. Trump." In the filing, Beatty said the board also agreed to add an additional reference to the president if the Trump Kennedy Center Fund reached $100 million.

David Davidov said he stood for 20 seconds in shocked silence when a longtime customers Facetimed him this summer to show off a once-in-a-lifetime prize that had come from his strip-mall store west of Boca Raton.
It was a unicorn in the world of baseball trading cards: a 2026 Shohei Ohtani Topps Chrome card, the only one made.
It features the Los Angeles Dodger's signature in both English and Kanji, characters used in the ***** anese writing system. In the center of the card there are two game worn Major League Baseball logo jersey patches marking Ohtani's consecutive National League MVP awards in 2024 and 2025.
It's become one of the world's most expensive sports cards. The person who scored the card later sold it to the online network Secure Collectibles for $11 million.
People come to Boca Sports Cards all the time to buy a pack of baseball cards, which can range from $7 to $500, but since the unicorn emerged, Davidov said his business, in the Sandalwood Plaza shopping center along State Road 7, has welcomed a revolving door of new and old customers and the phone hasn't stopped ringing as others hope to capture some magic of their own.

(NewsNation) — Homes are destroyed, shopping plazas and vehicles are submerged underwater, and communities are shocked after a "100-year flood" swept Indiana this week.
Rivers are still rising after the state was hit with storms and flash flooding.
The governor issued a statewide disaster emergency, and some cities are under a curfew.
Gov. Mike Braun said officials knew a storm was coming, but they were not expecting the magnitude.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The battle over the Kennedy Center's future escalated Thursday as President Donald Trump's allies on the board took new steps to commemorate him with physical changes to the iconic performing arts institution that could defy a federal court order.
During an hourslong meeting that was conducted virtually, the board voted to add Trump's name to the building's facade so it would read "The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Restored and Renovated By President Donald J. Trump." The plaza in front of the building would be named after Trump and most of the ****** e at the venue would be closed for two years to allow for substantial renovations.
The changes, described by Rep. Joyce Beatty, an Ohio Democrat who is an ex-officio board member, and her lawyers, amount to a dramatic test of U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper.
He ruled in May that letters affixed to the building that spelled out Trump's name were added illegally and he ordered their removal, a decision that the Republican administration failed to persuade courts to overturn. At the same time, Cooper blocked a two-year closure that was set to take effect July 5, saying an earlier board vote authorizing the shuttering was "ill-informed and seemingly preordained."
"This latest development is a transparent effort to circumvent the Court's ruling, and flies in the face of the statutes that Congress passed," Beatty said in a statement. "I will continue to fight for this treasured national monument."

Fleet safety directors spend years building compliance programs that ****** ody ever asks them to defend out loud, and when someone finally does, it is a plaintiff's attorney with a court reporter in the room. Trucksafe Consulting is selling the rehearsal.
The DOT compliance consultancy will hold its fifth annual Fleet Compliance Bootcamp Sept. 16-17, 2026, at the Crowne Plaza Indianapolis-Downtown-Union Station, and this year's program adds a half-day Live Deposition Simulation and Rule 30(b)(6) Preparation Seminar on Sept. 18.
Trucking deposition preparation usually begins after a lawsuit is filed, which is also the point at which the record stops being fixable. Attendees will watch a realistic deposition of a fleet safety director in a serious highway-accident case. Plaintiff and defense attorneys will demonstrate the questioning strategies, document issues and credibility challenges they use in live cases. A panel discussion afterward will examine how testimony and company records affect liability exposure and settlement value.
"Today, a compliance failure rarely stays confined to an enforcement proceeding," said Brandon Wiseman, president and founder of Trucksafe Consulting. "After a serious accident, attorneys will scrutinize years of driver files, maintenance records, safety data, policies, emails and management decisions."
The exposure is retroactive, and it reaches documents ****** ody wrote expecting an audience.

Aubrey Plaza and Christopher Abbott have reportedly welcomed their first child together, a baby girl, after largely keeping their relationship out of the spotlight.
TMZ reported that sources with direct knowledge said Plaza gave birth during the final week of July. Neither Plaza nor Abbott has publicly announced their daughter's name or exact birth date.
The 42-year-old actress was photographed carrying the newborn in New York City on August 9 after supporting Abbott at the final Broadway performance of Death of a Salesman.
The reported arrival came several months after Plaza's representative confirmed in April that she and Abbott were expecting their first child. At the time, a source told People that the baby was expected in the fall.
Plaza was photographed outside in New York with the baby bundled in a blanket and wearing a beanie. TMZ reported that the sighting came after Plaza attended Abbott's final performance in the Broadway revival of Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman.

Two Florida business owners have been charged with third-degree felonies after allegedly spreading about 1,500 "toxic" mothballs across a beach in hopes of keeping an "imperiled" bird species from nesting there.
If convicted, they could each face up to five years in prison, fines of up to $5,000 and up to five years of probation.
The problem started in late April when beachgoers noticed mothballs on the white, sugary sand on St. Pete Beach in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Officers with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and bird-loving volunteers from the Audubon Society mobilized. They plucked about 1,000 of the small, white orbs from the sand behind the Plaza Beach Hotel.

Ricky Martin's eldest sons are back home. Valentino and Matteo, the fraternal twins the Grammy winner welcomed via surrogate in 2008, were photographed on August 4 spending the afternoon at Plaza Las Américas in San Juan, grabbing a bite at a well-known restaurant before browsing a fast-fashion store with a small group of friends.

This week they celebrate their 18th birthday — a milestone Martin is marking on home turf, having spent the summer settled into Puerto Rico with all four of his children.
The outing came days after Martin shared beach photos of his younger kids, Lucía and Renn, from the island. Now it's the twins' turn in the spotlight, even if they weren't seeking it. Valentino — the more media-facing of the two — kept it casual in black jeans, a sand-colored T-shirt, a black cap and sneakers. Matteo, the quieter twin, opted for blue denim, a white short-sleeve tee, a cap and a shoulder bag.
When the afternoon wrapped, the pair drove off in their own SUV, reportedly keeping a respectful, reserved distance from the cameras throughout.
