Zoe Saldana stopped by CBS Mornings in New York today to promote the upcoming third season of Lioness, which premieres on 2 August.

I'm hoping Zoe is starting this press tour as she means to go on, because this made a refreshing change.
We all know how much the actress loves a black Saint Laurent lace dress. At this point, she and Zoë Kravitz must be neck and neck for the number of times they've worn one, so I always breathe a sigh of relief when she heads in a different direction.
On this occasion, she wore a look from the Willy Chavarria Spring 2027 collection, which debuted during Men's Fashion Week last month.

Bayern Munich's new defender Nathaniel Brown will wear the No. 11 shirt for the club.
The versatile left-back will be wearing the number in a rather unorthodox manner, as the No. 11 is normally ***** ociated with forward players. While defensive players definitely have worn similar numbers before, it is still considered a departure from tradition.
However, Bayern is no stranger to odd number choices, with backup striker Sandro Wagner choosing the No. 2 and central midfielder Xabi Alonso wearing the No. 3 in his debut season. The latter did switch to his preferred No. 14 in the season after, though.
According to board member for sport Max Eberl, as captured by iMiaSanMia, the number was originally offered to winger Michael Olise, who wears the number for France. However, Olise reportedly wanted to keep his No. 17 shirt for Bayern. Whether the number was also offered to fellow winger Luis Díaz is unknown.
Bayern's No. 11 has had a variety of owners over the past decade, including Douglas Costa, James Rodríguez, and Kingsley Coman. The number was most recently worn by Chelsea loanee Nicolas Jackson. Perhaps the most notable player who wore it was Stefan Effenberg, who captained Bayern to a Bundesliga and Champions League double while wearing said number.

The Houston Rockets have had players donning a total of 52 different jersey numbers (and have one not part of any numerical series for Houston ****** istant coach and general manager Carroll Dawson) since their founding at the start of the 1967-68 season, worn by just under 500 players in the course of Rockets history.
To honor all of the players who wore those numbers over the decades, Rockets Wire is covering the entire history of jersey numbers and the players who wore them since the founding of the team all those years ago right up to the present day.
With seven of those jerseys now retired to honor some of the greatest Rockets of all time to wear those jerseys, there is a lot of history to cover.
And for today's article, we will continue with the first of four who wore the No. 24, forward alum Bud Acton. After ending his college career at Hillsdale, Acton went unselected in the 1966 NBA Draft, playing in other leagues until he signed with the (then) San Diego (now, Houston) Rockets in 1968.
The Troy, Michigan native played the only 23 games of his NBA career with the Rockets, leaving the league as a player afterward.

New USL Championship side Atlético Dallas, who will join the league for 2027 season, has announced its first signing: Chicharito Hernández, the Mexican legend and former Manchester United striker.
Chicharito had said farewell to Chivas at the end of last year and had not made it clear whether he would continue playing. The chance to be a key figure in a new project in the US convinced the player to move to Dallas.
"I've been fortunate to live the dreams that every young footballer hopes to experience," Hernández said about joining the new team.
"I've worn some of the biggest shirts in the world and played in incredible stadiums in front of passionate supporters. Opportunities like this, though, are different."
Hernández has signed a two-year contract with Atlético Dallas, with an option for a third. After retiring, the Mexican will then have the possibility of joining the club's football department in another role.

Giannis Antetokounmpo reveals Goran Dragic's importance to his NBA career originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is happy to now be playing for the Miami Heat. It is a team that he has become familiar with during his time in the NBA, as he has had plenty of duels against the Erik Spoelstra-led team since making his NBA debut in 2013 for the Milwaukee Bucks.
For a long time, Giannis remained loyal to the Bucks, but their recent struggles were the tipping point for the Greek superstar. Now, he will be playing for the Heat with a new jersey number, the #7 that was previously worn by former Heat All-Star Goran Dragic.
As one of the most physically imposing players in the league, Antetokounmpo has worked hard to become one of the strongest players. Despite that, he does have some trouble with injuries from time to time. This has led to him making adjustments to his gear, including wearing his now-iconic shooting sleeve.
Apparently, that decision to wear a sleeve stems from a showdown with the Heat back in the day. The reason he is wearing a shooting sleeve now is because of Dragic, which is a bit poetic, considering Antetokounmpo is the player wearing his old #7 jersey number.

The Milwaukee Brewers are commemorating 25 years of American Family Field with an alumni Game July 24, but fans might find it curious that the team itself is wearing retro hats from before the building even opened.
The hats actually have nothing to do with the Brewers celebration, and it'll last through the three-game series against the Colorado Rockies.
The Brewers will wear the M-B hats this weekend as part of a Hall of Fame weekend celebration across Major League Baseball. All 30 teams will participate, though the hat of the Brewers' opponent won't look too dissimilar from what it typically uses now. The "CR" logo will be the same, but in the context of an all-purple used by the franchise from 2003 to 2012.
The "M-B" logo ("Motre Bame" if you prefer, since it's similar to a classic Notre Dame logo) didn't last long in Brewers history, worn from 1994 to 1996 before the Brewers adopted a simple M on their cap throughout the rest of the '90s. Both hats were part of the green, gold and blue motif along with the "crossed bats" primary logo that lasted from 1994 to 1999, an era that didn't feature any winning seasons for the Brewers.
No, no Hall of Fame players ever wore the M-B hat for the Brewers, not even on the coaching staffs. Rod Carew served as hitting coach one year too late.

The Los Angeles Rams showed off their new alternate jerseys during a team event on Thursday, July 23.
The team unveiled two new alternate uniforms for the 2026 season to celebrate the organization's "championship legacy and iconic history."
The Rams have won two Super Bowls in five total appearances, with the first victory coming in the 1999 season when the team played in St. Louis. Defensive tackle Aaron Donald and quarterback Matthew Stafford helped lead the Rams to their last championship to cap the 2021 season.
The "Classic Sol" features a primarily yellow jersey with blue stripes, similar to those worn when the Rams won the NFL championship at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Dec. 23, 1951.
The second alternate jersey is called the "Fearsome White," which pays tribute to the "Fearsome Foursome" from the 1960s. The jersey is primarily white with blue stripes and numbers.

If you've ever spent a Saturday afternoon in the north of Rome, you'll know that the air feels different when Lazio are playing at home. It's a mixture of nervous energy, the scent of roasting meat from street stalls, and a very specific kind of quiet tension that hums through the crowds heading toward the Stadio Olimpico.
For the Biancocelesti faithful, a match isn't just ninety minutes of football; it's a complex dance with fate. In Italy, they have a word for this that goes beyond simple superstition: Scaramanzia. It's the art of fending off bad luck. It's the belief that if you wear the wrong socks, take the wrong bridge over the Tiber, or speak too confidently about a win, you'll personally be responsible for a last-minute goal from the opposition. While some might call it irrational, for those in the Curva Nord, it's a science.
The journey to the stadium usually starts at the Ponte Milvio. This ancient bridge, famous for its history and more recently for its "love locks," serves as the psychological gateway for Lazio fans. You'll see thousands of supporters gathered here, and if you look closely, you'll notice the patterns. It isn't just about getting a drink before the game; it's about the repetition of specific actions that have "worked" in the past.
I've spoken to fans who have worn the same faded shirt to every home game for a decade. It doesn't matter if it's thirty degrees in August or freezing in January; that shirt is a lucky charm. If they wash it, they're washing the luck away. It sounds absurd to an outsider, but when you're standing in the middle of a crowd of passionate Italians, you start to believe it too.
The food rituals are just as strict. Many fans won't dream of entering the stadium without a specific meal at a specific stall near the bridge. Whether it's a porchetta sandwich or a simple slice of pizza, the consistency provides a sense of control over an outcome that is, in reality, entirely out of their hands. It's a way of grounding themselves before the emotional rollercoaster begins.

This evening, the Los Angeles Rams held a season ticket holder special event to release their two alternate jerseys for the 2026 season. In a long awaited announcement, the Rams finally pulled back the curtain on their new threads to the NFL and Rams fans.
As speculated, the two new uniforms are tribute to past teams. In the 1940s and 1950s, the Rams wore yellow uniforms and that was first alternate revealed. The other is all white and blue uniform to honor the 1960s and the Fearsome Foursome teams.
The Rams are scheduled to wear the Classic Sol uniforms for Week 2 vs the New York Giants and Week 13 vs the Kansas City Chiefs. The Rams first "home" game will be in Week 2, so we will get to see those threads early on. The decision to wear them again in Week 13 against the Chiefs makes a lot of sense considering the Rams wore an all-yellow uniform in 2018 against the Chiefs in what went down as arguably the greatest regular season football game of all time. The Rams won 54-51 thanks to a Gerald Everett touchdown with less than 2 minutes remaining. The Chiefs-Rams game this year will also be on prime time television, Thursday Night Football presented by Amazon Prime.
The Fearsome White uniforms will be worn against the Green Bay Packers in the first ever Thanksgiving Eve game on November 25.
The Rams now have five uniform sets for the 2026 season. The modern white (2021), royal blue (2020), midnight navy (2025), fearsome white (2026), and classic sol (2026). Even the modern white and royal blue uniforms underwent "cosmetic adjustments" this offseason. The team is no longer planning to use the "bone" uniforms that were issued in 2020.

The Los Angeles Rams revealed two new uniforms at their "Rams Revealed Live" event on Thursday night, finally unveiling the alternates fans have been waiting to see for months. They were in line with expectations, going the throwback route with both uniforms.
The first is a classic yellow jersey with white pants that pays tribute to the 1950s teams, featuring navy stripes on the shoulders and solid numbers on the front and back. The other is a white and navy throwback that honors the "Fearsome Foursome" era of the 1960s and 70s. With the white set, the Rams will wear a blue helmet with white horns instead of their usual yellow horns.
In addition to unveiling these uniforms, the Rams also announced when they will wear each one this season. Both will be worn at home, giving fans at SoFi Stadium a look at these classic jerseys.
The "Classic Sol" uniforms will debut in Week 2 against the Giants, and will also be worn in Week 13 against the Chiefs, both of which are prime-time games; Week 2 is on Monday night and Week 13 is a Thursday game.
The "Fearsome White" uniforms will only be worn once, on Thanksgiving Eve in Week 12 against the Packers on Wednesday Night Football.

At a special event for season ticket members, the Los Angeles Rams revealed two new alternate uniforms for the upcoming season. They had been teasing this release since refreshing their current uniforms earlier this offseason, and now we finally have a first look at them.
For one of the uniforms, the Rams turned back the clock to the 1950s by going with a yellow throwback jersey that features navy stripes on the shoulders. It's a classic throwback look, paying homage to past teams in Los Angeles. The Rams haven't worn yellow jerseys since their Color Rush set, which was worn sparingly from 2015-2019.
The other uniform is another throwback. It marks the return of the iconic navy and white uniforms from the Fearsome Foursome era of the 1960s and '70s, bringing back the white horns on the helmets.
The Rams also released a video showing off the uniforms, pairing the classic yellow jerseys with white pants. The white Fearsome Foursome jerseys will also be worn with white pants, an iconic look from decades ago.
At some point before the season, the Rams will release a full uniform schedule, announcing when they will wear each of their five uniforms in 2026.

Unreal is such a perfect name for the show.
WWE Unreal Season 3 is the latest pro wrestling curtain jerk highlighting the real lives, trials, make-up routines (so much make-up), injuries and wardrobe changes of today's World Wrestling Entertainment superstars.
Brief disclaimer: I'm a mark, a very happy mark. I was raised on Mid-South wrestling and the UWF. I have been to the Von Erich (Adkisson) gravesites. I have worn the face paint of my favorite wrestler. My college roommate can recite the history of the Brass Knuckles championships (yes, it was a real ******* le). I enjoyed it then. I enjoy it now. I will continue to enjoy it in the future.
While Unreal proclaims to break kayfabe – the old-fashioned term where we pretend like it's all real – in reality, WWE Unreal shows fans what WWE wants to be real.

For some, polished summer dressing can feel like a challenge. Elements that are too simple can lead an outfit to look overly casual, but add too many bells and whistles and the look can seem forced and overdressed. When looking for summer outfit inspiration that threads the needle effortlessly, no one does it quite like Queen Letizia of Spain, who showed off her prowess for the "just enough, not too much" seasonal outfit at an audience at the Zarzuela Palace.
Welcoming the team behind the documentary Los Nietos del Silencio, the queen opted once again to shop her own closet, rewearing a navy and white dress from Antik Batik. The tiered maxi featured a nigh crew neckline to balance the sleeveless style, with wavy embroidery white accents and white embroidery at the shoulders. Letizia previously wore the style last year when she attended a symposium on women in sports.

To complete her look, Letzia paired the dress with one of her go-to shoe styles, the wedge espadrille. In fact, her name was all over this moderate-heeled navy and white pair—the style, by Picon, is actually named the "Letizia." As per her usual style, Letizia wore her hair in loose waves, and capped things off with a pair of understated gold earrings by Spanish jeweler Isabel Guarch.
The Spanish queen is well-known for rewearing some of her favorite looks, as she displayed today. Just last week, she chose a white, patterned Hugo Boss dress for an event for the Princess of Girona Foundation that she had previously worn out and about twice before. She even decided on a rewear for Spain's Wold Cup-winning match over the weekend, donning a bold red Adolfo Dominguez dress that she first wore last fall.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The top federal prosecutor in Seattle who was fired last week less than an hour after being sworn in sued over his termination Tuesday, teeing up a legal challenge to the Trump administration's efforts to control who occupies the powerful Justice Department posts.
Roger Rogoff is the latest in a series of judicially appointed U.S. attorneys to be ousted by the Trump administration from their posts but is believed to be the first of that group to sue over the removal. His action creates a first-of-its-kind court case that will test the Justice Department's authority to fire federal prosecutors who are appointed by judges,
Rogoff was unanimously appointed to the job of U.S. attorney for western Washington by the federal judges in the district. But shortly after he was sworn in last Wednesday, he received an email from the Trump administration informing him that President Donald Trump had ordered his termination.
The lawsuit contends that the abrupt firing was unconstitutional and disregarded the authority of the judges of the district to name Rogoff to the job until the vacancy could be filled through a Senate-confirmed nominee. The complaint seeks a court order declaring that the firing "was unlawful and is void" and that Rogoff at least temporarily remains U.S. attorney.
"The President's actions violate the law, and they ignore the protections of the Constitution of the United States," Rogoff said in a statement issued through the law firm representing him. "His removal of me, like his removal of other court-appointed U.S. attorneys across the country, is illegal and cannot stand."

CHICAGO – Detroit Tigers right fielder Kerry Carpenter has been dealing with the strangest injury of his career.
Carpenter has a bruised heel on his left foot from – the Tigers think - his cleats.
Seriously.
Carpenter has always worn Under Armour cleats but his favorite pair was discontinued. So, he switched to a pair of New Balance cleats.
“Under Armour stopped making the model I've worn the last seven years,” Carpenter said before the Tigers played the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday, July 22. “So I switched to New Balance because those were the only ones that felt good on my feet.”

The Los Angeles Rams are preparing for their second uniform release of the offseason after making subtle tweaks to their current set earlier this spring. On Thursday night at a special event for season ticket members, they'll reveal two new alternate sets that will be worn this season.
Rams players got a sneak peek at the two new alternates and they all seem to love them. The Rams have given no hints about what the uniforms will look like, but a yellow and blue jersey appeared to have leaked recently. There are also rumors that the other will be a navy and white throwback.
Based on this video, we can tell at least one of the alternates will be getting a new helmet. Matthew Stafford said "the helmet's sweet" when he saw the uniforms, so clearly it's something different.
Kam Curl also said, "I've been waiting on this to come back. I've been waiting on this." Might he be talking about a navy and white throwback?
Steve Avila had the best reaction, running out of the room in excitement.

The New York Jets will be wearing a new alternate helmet when they host the Green Bay Packers during Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season. The Jets debuted a new "White Out" helmet, featuring a white shell and white facemask, that will be worn during the team's home opener at MetLife Stadium on Sunday, Sept. 20 with the Packers in town.
Here's the new look awaiting the Packers in Week 2:
The helmet also includes a green stripe down the middle and a green "Jets" logo on each side. New York will match the helmet with their "Legacy White" uniforms to create the new look.
The Jets are one of many teams, including the Packers, who have debuted an all-white helmet to go with all-white uniforms in recent years. The Jets have a "White Out" set, while the Packers call their all-whites "Winter Warning."
The Jets wearing all white at home in Week 2 will almost certainly force the Packers to wear their traditional home uniform on the road. Green Bay wore home uniforms on the road twice in 2025: at Dallas (Cowboys wear white at home) and at New York (Giants wore throwback white uniforms). The Packers open the 2026 season on the road against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1 and the Jets in Week 2 before hosting the Atlanta Falcons for the home opener in Week 3.

Roma and Adidas have today unveiled the new home shirt for the 2026/27 season.
The kit keeps the club’s traditional red base, combined with classic yellow details.
Roma’s historic crest returns over the heart as the central element of the design. On the back of the collar, the message “Con tutte le nostre forze” appears, a direct nod to the connection between the club, the players and the fans.
Paulo Dybala has been chosen to present it to the fans as the leading face of the new Giallorossi season.
For now, the shirt’s official competitive debut has not been confirmed, although it is expected to be worn for the first time during pre-season. Roma are thus continuing their image refresh ahead of the new campaign.

While the Spice Girls reunited to celebrate their bandmate Mel C's wedding over the weekend in ****** bria, Victoria Beckham was across the pond in New York City.
The fashion mogul, who is currently abroad with her family in the United States, was pictured out in the Big Apple with her family recently as she was forced to skip her former bandmate's nuptials in the UK on Saturday. Victoria was supported by her husband David Beckham and three of their children – Romeo, 23, Cruz, 21, and Harper, 14 – at a special pop-up event for her Victoria Beauty perfume, Portofino '97, at Caffe Paradiso in Manhattan's Nolita neighbourhood.
The Victoria Beckham Beauty founder and entrepreneur was effortlessly elegant as always in a flattering navy midi dress with her highlighted tresses worn out in waves. She complemented her look for the day with a pair of brown cutout heels.
Victoria first launched her eponymous beauty brand's signature perfume, which was the focus of the temporary NYC cafe takeover, in September 2023. Her family looked like they couldn't be prouder as David had his arm around her supportively in one photo while Harper looked ever so grown up in all denim in a sweet mother-daughter picture.
Back in the UK, Mel C tied the knot with her long-time boyfriend, Chris Dingwall, on 18 July, with the rest of her Spice Girls bandmates reportedly in attendance. The singer married her partner at The Country House in ****** bria; a 19th century property in a secluded countryside area.

Will Smith looked almost unrecognisable as he unveiled a dramatic new look during a sun-soaked appearance in Monaco.
The 57-year-old actor showed off a freshly shaved head while attending the E1 Series Monaco GP on Saturday, July 18, 2026 where he posed aboard a yacht with Prince Albert and E1 founder and chairman Alejandro Agag.
Will appeared relaxed in a white T-shirt layered beneath a short-sleeved crochet cardigan featuring brown and black striped detailing. He completed his casual look with black trousers, dark sunglasses and his signature neatly trimmed goatee.
The transformation was particularly striking as the Men in Black star has typically worn his hair closely cropped throughout his decades in the spotlight.
A day earlier, Will was photographed overlooking the Mediterranean during qualifying in a bright red Westbrook Racing by Visit Angola team polo and black trousers, with his new shaved look once again on full display.

Zendaya's carefully curated "The Odyssey" wardrobe has sparked a much larger debate about who should be allowed to wear (and own) ancient cultural artifacts.
The actress wore earrings made from roughly 3,000-year-old Iranian gold medallions during a London photocall for Christopher Nolan's upcoming epic. While the jeweler insists the artifacts were mounted without being altered or damaged, critics argue the pieces should be preserved in a museum or returned to Iran rather than worn as celebrity accessories.
Questions surrounding the earrings are further complicated by the Ziwiye ****** d itself, a disputed collection whose objects entered the antiquities market without being recovered through a documented archaeological excavation.
Zendaya, who plays the goddess Athena in Nolan's adaptation of Homer's "The Odyssey," paired the ancient earrings with a flowing white Jacquemus dress selected by her longtime stylist, Law Roach.
According to CNN, the earrings contain gold medallion discs attributed to the first millennium B.C., making them approximately 2,000 to 3,000 years old. The pieces originated in ancient Iran and have been linked to the Ziwiye ****** d, a collection of gold, silver, and ivory objects reportedly discovered in the country's northwestern Kurdistan province during the late 1940s.

Lady Henrietta Stanley, the daughter of the 19th Earl of Derby and the Countess of Derby, married Alexander "Sasha" Reviakin
The high-profile nuptials took place at Liverpool Cathedral, and the reception was held at the family seat of Knowsley Hall
For the big day, the countess loaned her daughter the Derby Tiara, which was created in 1893 and worn at Queen Elizabeth's coronation
Lady Henrietta Stanley — the daughter of Edward Stanley, the 19th Earl of Derby, and Caroline Stanley, the Countess of Derby — married Alexander "Sasha" Reviakin sporting a regal headpiece.
For the big day on July 4, the countess, who was friends and schoolmates with the late Princess Diana, loaned her 29-year-old daughter the Derby Tiara, a stunning headpiece that she wore on her own wedding day in 1995. But its regal history goes back much further than that.

SEATTLE (AP) — President Donald Trump fired the new top U.S. prosecutor in Seattle on Wednesday less than an hour after the attorney was unanimously appointed by the federal judges in the district, highlighting tensions between the courts and the president over the powerful positions.
Roger Rogoff, a former judge and veteran state and federal prosecutor, was sworn in as U.S. attorney before 8 a.m. at the U.S. courthouse in downtown Seattle. In a phone interview, he said he then went to the U.S. Attorney's Office and asked to meet with Charles Neil Floyd, whose 120-day interim term in the position ended in February.
As he waited in a lobby, Rogoff said, he received an email from the Trump administration informing him he'd been removed. He is consulting with other lawyers about suing over his firing, he said.
Presidents normally appoint U.S. attorneys, the top federal prosecutor in each judicial district. The positions require Senate confirmation, except in temporary appointments. When temporary appointments expire before a nominee is confirmed, the judges in a judicial district can name a U.S. attorney.
But under Trump, the Justice Department has sought to leave unconfirmed prosecutors in their positions indefinitely, often through novel personnel maneuvers.

Whilst I’m a County Durham lad by birth, work and wanderlust have taken me to every compass point of Britain. And everywhere I’ve lived, I’ve worn the Sunderland badge with pride.
A couple of years ago, family wishes took Mrs L and me to Hertfordshire. The Home Counties. Shock horror. Wilstone, population 341. Quintessentially English. A church, a community shop and a pub. If Carlsberg designed villages….
Whenever you move somewhere new, you don’t know a soul. So my integration plan is, and always has been, to head to the local pub. In Wilstone, it’s The Half Moon, a traditional inn with old wooden beams, excellent Tring Brewery ales and a classic cast of characters. It’s very much like Cheers. After a while, everyone knows your name… and your football club.
It struck me one afternoon that everyone supported different clubs, yet somehow they were all telling the same football story.
The landlord is Guy. Passionately patriotic and loyal to the blue and white hoops of QPR. Mention Stan Bowles, Rodney Marsh or Gerry Francis and Guy disappears into Shepherd’s Bush nostalgia. One afternoon, he scurried into the back room to find an old, dusty programme from QPR v Sunderland in 1962. The glory days were a long time ago… will they ever return, he wondered? I understood what he meant. There was a time when I wondered whether we’d ever get out of League One.

INDIANAPOLIS — For four years, Lapel football coach Tim Miller has sent his quarterback onto the field with a tongue-in-cheek reminder of the color of the jerseys worn by the Bulldogs on a given night.
Originally designed to ease the nerves of Devin Craig as a freshman starter, the weekly ritual needed a slight alteration as the Lapel senior prepared to take the field for the first series as the South's quarterback in the 60th Annual Indiana Football Coaches ****** ociation North-South All-Star Game Friday at Decatur Central High School.
"Don't forget, you're wearing red tonight," Miller shouted from behind the team's bench, earning a smile and a nod from Craig.
"That was about the only coaching I gave the kid in four years," Miller added.
The state's fifth all-time leader in passing yardage took the field and found the right-colored jersey plenty of times.
