Sapphires and diamonds and pearls, oh my! From brand-new bling to centuries-old diamonds, in her first five years of marriage, the Duchess of Cambridge has already worn some impressive pieces of jewelry. Her new family has helped her build her very own collection of sparklers, but when it comes to really putting on the glitz, nothing beats having access to her grandmother-in-law's incredible and iconic collection.

Tonya Harding's Skating Costumes Really Did Look Like That - Down to Every Sequin and Bead
Perhaps it's because I'm a fashion gal through and through, but the one scene from I, Tonya that stuck with me most was a close-up of Margot Robbie (as former Olympic figure skater Tonya Harding) right before beginning a routine, wearing a pair of sparkling Chanel earrings. Actually, all of the kitschy skating costumes intrigued me. "Did Harding's costumes look exactly like this throughout her career, and why do they make me feel almost . . . uncomfortable?" I immediately began to wonder as I watched the film.
Turns out, the off-putting appearance of Harding's signature look was purposeful. Costume designer Jennifer Johnson very accurately displayed the ensembles Harding wore (many of which her mother LaVona sewed by hand) which judges considered to be "tasteless" or "tacky." She told Deadline:
"With Tonya, because she's a tough person, she's not afraid to voice her opinion and she does not particularly consider herself ultra-feminine, so the skating costumes were always pink and purple, and colors that were probably quite uncomfortable for her in real life. Then, she started making more money, and being able to afford her Louis Vuitton bag. She has Chanel earrings and a nice leather jacket and she's definitely more sober in her color choices as the violence escalates . . . I love that Tonya really always said, 'No. This is who I am, and please listen.' I just thought that was really fascinating. That, to me, makes her really a powerful figure in the sports world, because that world is sort of a ballet. It has so many rules, and it's sort of like cotillion, the rules of dress and behavior and how women should act."
Johnson also told Vogue that when she was introduced to Harding at a party, "She gave me a big hug and said, 'My God! When I was watching the movie I thought, how did they get a hold of my skating costumes and my clothes?'" If you've any doubt, at this point, that Johnson is quite talented, read on to compare some of Harding's most memorable skating outfits with the near-identical replicas created for Robbie.
Gigi Hadid's New Vogue Eyewear Sunglasses Are So Darn Retro-Fab, You'll Want Every Pair
After debuting her fourth and final Gigi Hadid x Tommy Hilfiger collection, Gigi revealed her second edition of the Gigi Hadid for Vogue Eyewear line. The supermodel-turned-designer stars in the campaign, naturally, which shows her sporting sleek, retro-chic shades on the sunny beaches of Ibiza. The collection includes three new styles of frames that channel Gigi's idea of "trademark style with unexpected contrasts."
If the sunglasses in the campaign images look familiar, it's because Gigi has already been spotted in the designs three times as she ran around between shows during Fashion Month. Check out the stunning images below, and shop the exact pairs of sunglasses that Gigi is wearing in each photo exclusively on sunglasshut.com. Plus, see how she styles them in real life.
15 Reasons Meghan Markle Should Feel Damn Proud to Wear a Pantsuit
If Meghan Markle broke royal protocol by wearing this Alexander McQueen pantsuit to the Endeavour Awards, I certainly wasn't concerned. I thought she looked slick and stylish in her tailored pieces, a touch feminine thanks to a Tuxe pussybow blouse, and maybe even a little sexy in those sky-high Manolo Blahnik pumps. To me, her outfit was perfect, though fans of the British crown and palace might have been worried about her decision to ditch a dress.
But Meghan's already made waves on the style front, choosing a top handle tote over a clutch and nixing tights to announce her engagement. We are here to prove she's not the only lady of high status who prefers slacks over a gown from time to time. Ahead, you can find 15 royals, from sophisticated, fashion-forward types like Queen Rania of Jordan and Princess Charlene to front-row mavens such as Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece and Princess Deena Aljuhani Abdulaziz, who make a pantsuit look fresher than a couture skirt straight out of the atelier. And they should all feel damn proud.

Casting for The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is officially underway! After announcing that Kiernan Shipka will star as the infamous teenage witch last month, Netflix has revealed even more additions to the upcoming series. We know that both Harvey Kinkle and Sabrina's cat, Salem, are set to appear on the series. Although the lucky actor playing Harvey has yet to be announced, Netflix has found the purr-fect cat to play Sabrina's beloved four-legged confidante, as well as a few other exciting players. See who's already signed up for the show ahead.
Sandra Bullock Cozies Up to Boyfriend Bryan Randall, Who Appears to Be Wearing a Wedding Band
Sandra Bullock and her boyfriend, Bryan Randall, stepped out for a sweet stroll in LA on Thursday, and we couldn't help but notice that the handsome photographer was wearing a gold band on that finger. Did the couple, who have been dating for over two years, get secretly married? It was reported back in October that they were contemplating an under-the-radar wedding and that Bryan had "taken on the role of raising" Sandra's two children, Louis and Laila - tying the knot was "definitely" something he wanted, as he had never been married. Despite the ring, Sandra's rep tells Us Weekly simply, "They are not married."
We last got a glimpse of Bryan and Sandra when they enjoyed a date night in LA along with Jennifer Aniston back in October. Wedding or not, there's a chance that we'll see Sandra and her man at the Oscars on Sunday; the actress is confirmed to present during the ceremony, so it's possible that Bryan will accompany her on the red carpet - or at least to a couple of afterparties. Keep reading to see their cute outing, and peep Bryan's gold ring!
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 2: What We Know So Far
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel has been a triumph for Amazon Studios since its release in November. Critics are raving and the show received two Golden Globes, one for best musical/comedy TV series and one for its star, Rachel Brosnahan, for best actress in a TV musical/comedy. Obviously, it's getting a second season.
In fact, it was actually the first Amazon series to receive a multiple-season order before it even debuted, receiving a two-season order back in April 2017. But what do we know about season two?
The only thing we know for sure is that it's coming. As for specific plotlines, Brosnahan teased for Indie Wire that Midge, the Upper West Side housewife who embarks on a stand-up comedy career after her husband leaves her, is going to struggle to navigate the different worlds she occupies.
Brosnahan says that Midge lives in three different worlds - the one where she's a wife/mother/daughter, the one where she's a working woman (she has a job at a department store to support her family), and the one where she's a budding stand-up comic - and those worlds aren't always easy to maintain simultaneously.
"[T]hose three worlds, they don't work together very well," said Brosnahan. "So I look forward to watching her struggle to maintain those three different identities simultaneously."
Brosnahan added that if Midge were to have to choose one of those worlds, she's not sure where her character would end up.
"I don't think that she'd know at this very moment. I expect that as we go along further in the series that answer will become clearer to her," said Brosnahan. "Right now, she's obviously giving stand-up her all, but she still feels very much rooted in those other worlds . . . the working world is new for her, as well, and she really loves it. It gives her a new sense of purpose that she wasn't expecting. But she is still very much rooted in her identity as a mother and a housewife. But at this point, I don't think she'd have the answer. And neither do I, but I do expect that to become clearer as we move forward."
What will be interesting to see is if the show picks up exactly where season one left off or not. In the season finale, Midge has a wildly successful set at the Gaslight while her husband, Joel, realizes just how far he has fallen and how much he lost when he gave up on his marriage to Midge. Will the show return to that moment? Or will it skip ahead a bit?
We'd love to see the show pick up pretty much immediately after the finale, if only to see how Joel conducts himself after that night. But we'll have to wait and see. The second season should premiere in late 2018. In her interview, Brosnahan told Indie Wire that shooting begins this Spring.
10 Photos of Roseanne and John Goodman That Show What 30 Years of Friendship Looks Like
It's been over 20 years since Roseanne came to an end, but Roseanne Barr (Roseanne Conner) and John Goodman (Dan Conner) are still as close as ever. Not only are they both returning for the Roseanne reboot, but in 2012, they also starred together on NBC's Downwardly Mobile. Aside from their professional relationship, John recently told AARP that he and Roseanne "hit it off immediately" when they first met 30 years ago because of their "similar senses of humor." He also said that it "always felt like family when they were working." We certainly can't wait to see Roseanne and John back on the screen together on March 27, but in the meantime, take a look at some of their cutest moments.
Exactly How Violent Is Red Sparrow? Here Are the Most F*cked-Up Parts
Warning: major spoilers and graphic descriptions of violence for Red Sparrow below.
For her latest role, Jennifer Lawrence really is doing the most. The esteemed actress is playing a Russian woman, a prima ballerina, and a spy, all within one wild and reckless character. Based on the film's trailers and an extended sneak peek, we already knew we were in for quite a ride. But could anything adequately prepare us for the complete savagery Dominika would face? The answer is no. With its R rating, Red Sparrow is filled to the brim with blood, brutal violence, sexual assault, and nudity. Wondering if you can handle some of the most intense parts of the film? We're breaking down the worst of the worst, just for you.
1. The Ballet Sequence
Man, do things start off with a bang. Or, rather, a snap. We meet Dominika Egorova (Lawrence), a Russian prima ballerina who is at the height of her dancing career. During a showstopping performance, a horrifying injury ends her career: her male partner Konstantin (Sergei Polunin) does a gravity-defying leap and lands right on her lower leg, which snaps in half. Not only do you see the moment of impact, but you also get a lovely bird's-eye view of Dominika with her leg clearly bending the wrong way.
2. The Steam Room Altercation
We flash forward a few months. Dominika has mostly healed, though she uses a cane to walk. Her uncle, Vanya Egorov (Matthias Schoenaerts), drops by with some upsetting information: Konstantin had been cheating on Dominika, and he deliberately planned her "accident" with another ballerina in the company named Sonja (Nicole O'Neill).
Dominika plans revenge: She goes to the theater when Konstantin and Sonja have just finished rehearsing. Konstantin sneaks into the women's locker room so he can have sex with Sonja in the steam room. While they're in there, midcoitus, Dominika goes in and beats the daylights out of both of them with her metal walking cane. There's a lot of sputtering and blood and twitching.
3. The First Rape Scene
Yes, the first one. Seeing her potential as a ruthless scorned woman, Dominika's uncle sees an opportunity. He recruits her to seduce Dmitri Ustinov (Kristof Konrad), a wealthy and esteemed figure in Russia. The goal is to get him alone and swap his phone for a dummy phone. Once she does get him alone, though, he tells her to undress, throws her on the bed, and holds her down as he rips off her underwear.
As Dmitri violates Dominika, a man in a motorcycle helmet begins to choke Dmitri with a garrote wire, which is basically a very thin and very sharp weapon used in a lot of crime movies. The man in the motorcycle helmet pulls the wire so hard that Dmitri's neck begins gushing blood and squirting all over Dominika. Dmitri dies. If you hadn't already guessed.
4. The Second Rape Scene
Now that Dominika has witnessed a violent murder, she has two choices: she can die, or she can go through training to become a Russian government spy aka a Red Sparrow. Dominika obviously decides to go for the spy academy and joins 20 or so other recruits to go through the rigorous program. At one point, she shuts down another male recruit by providing the correct answer to a question after he fails to do so.
As payback, this recruit tries to rape Dominika in the communal showers. He turns her around, but she pulls one of the temperature handles loose and pummels him with it. Imagine brass knuckles, but it's just literally a metal shower handle. He gets pretty f*cked up.
5. The "Warning"
Dominika gets her first assignment: she must seduce Nate Nash (Joel Edgerton), an American agent who holds crucial intelligence that's pertinent to the Russian government. At some point, Dominika confides in her friend and roommate, Marta (Thekla Reuten). She admits she witnessed a horrifying murder cover-up. Her superiors are not happy with her, so they literally murder her friend (who, by the way, is also a Sparrow). This is not so much a moment of gratuitous onscreen violence, but it's a pretty horrible scene. Dominika comes home and finds Marta dead in the bathtub. In some places, her skin has been completely peeled off, revealing the muscle underneath. There's blood all over the walls. And she's been suffocated with a plastic bag.
Dominika's old friend, the man in the motorcycle helmet, shows up. (I should mention, by the way, that he does remove the helmet. But this seems like the easiest way to identify him.) He presses her face into Marta's corpse and warns her not to talk about Dmitri's murder ever again.
6. The Torture Montage
At one point, an important Russian asset dies, and the Russian government believes Dominika is to blame. They torture her horribly. In one scene, she's tied to a chair in the fetal position, and they blast her with (presumably scalding) water. In another, they beat her arm, shoulder, face, and back of the head with a baton. Not cute.
7. The Skin-Peeling Scene
And then, there's the pièce de résistance: a brutal torture scene involving our favorite person, the man in the motorcycle helmet. In order to figure out who's betraying the Russians, the man decides to use a tool that's normally meant for cattle. It peels off the skin in very fine slices, layer by layer, slowly exposing the muscle and bone underneath. We see him use the tool on Nate, and it looks like pure agony. We even watch the man pull the little strips of skin out of the machine. The scene will make your toes curl . . . if you can even stand to keep your eyes on the screen.
But wait, there's more! In this moment, Dominika turns on the man in the motorcycle helmet and, together with Nate, tries to kill him. He has this big ol' butcher knife, which he uses to make deep slices into Dominika and Nate. Dominika then slices the man's Achilles tendon (right above the back of his heel), which seems like one of the most painful things you can do to a human body. Eventually, she jams a small knife right into the base of his skull.
Whew. You made it through the post. Now, can you make it through the movie? Good f*cking luck.
Red Sparrow Ends With an Exceptional Twist You Won't See Coming
Warning: spoilers for Red Sparrow below!
Given the fact that Red Sparrow is a high-octane spy thriller, it should come as no surprise that it's jam-packed with twists. I mean, you'll get dizzy just following the story: Jennifer Lawrence is a Russian prima ballerina who trains to become a spy and then attempts to seduce an American agent in an attempt to figure out the identity of a mole in the Russian government. Yeah. It's a lot. But that's kind of the fun of watching the film: the best and most maddening part is that you're never really sure of what's going on. And just when you think you've figured everything out, there's one final twist that brings the whole thing home. Curious about how everything pans out? I'll do my best to break it down for you.
OK, so you have the basics: Lawrence plays Dominika Egorova, a prima ballerina whose career ends after a tragic and horrifying accident that actually isn't much of an accident at all. Thanks to her uncle Vanya (Matthias Schoenaerts), Dominika learns that her accident was sabotage, and she takes her revenge. Her uncle sees an opportunity: she has the potential to become a Red Sparrow, or a highly trained spy for the Russian government. She kind of stumbles through training, and her superiors hesitantly send her out into the field.
It's worth noting that Dominika is, throughout the movie, on a proverbial leash that's being held by her uncle. He's the one who gets her into this mess. And he's the one who continually defends her every time she f*cks up. He's the only reason the Russian government doesn't straight-up put a bullet in her head when she fails to follow orders or complete missions. Vanya is also kind of a creep. It's clear Dominika and her mother don't like him and don't think he's a good man. Dominika agrees to become a Red Sparrow because she feels like she doesn't have a choice, but she resents Vanya from the very start.
As a Sparrow, Dominika's goal is to seduce American agent Nate Nash (Joel Edgerton). Here's the first twist: once she makes contact, she essentially agrees to become a double agent. Nate "recruits" her. Things start to get murky: what side is Dominika actually on? Is she really betraying mother Russia, or is this all part of her ploy to gain the American's trust to extort information?
Eventually, Dominika f*cks up in a huge way that makes the Russians believe there is a mole on their side. More specifically, she f*cks up in a huge way that makes them think she's a mole. They torture her ruthlessly, which makes you think maybe she really was all up in the American side of things. But then she admits she was doing it just to get in close with the Americans. By the time you reach the end of the movie, it's entirely unclear. That is, until Dominika kills a Russian agent to protect Nate.
So, it's clear that Dominika really is betraying the Russian government. But then, there's another twist: one of her superiors, General Korchnoi (Jeremy Irons), knows what she's up to. He reveals that he is actually an American mole in the Russian government, and he wants her to continue his work. He has the perfect plan: if she turns him in as the mole, she will be beyond suspicion and she will be able to continue his work.
And therein lies the final twist. Dominika does turn in the mole, but she's actually spent the whole movie setting up someone else: her uncle Vanya. Through careful planning and framing, she has made him look incredibly guilty, to the point that nothing he says will be able to redeem him. And with that, there are now two American moles in the Russian government: Korchnoi and Dominika. Our Red Sparrow has achieved the desired result, and she's eliminated the man who wronged her most in the process. Iconic.

Mark Hamill Is Totally Vying For a Role in Guardians of the Galaxy 3
Image Source: Disney
On Feb. 25, one Twitter user proved that social media really is a powerful tool. It all started with an innocent tweet from a Marvel fan who really wanted Mark Hamill aka Luke Skywalker to continue his legacy in a galaxy far, far away. Except this time, we're not talking about Star Wars. We're talking about Guardians of the Galaxy! The tweet in question was basically just a request that director James Gunn give Hamill a role in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy 3. Gunn actually responded, and so did Hamill. A few short tweets later, it seems like it's a real possibility. See how everything unfolded below.
I think @HamillHimself lives around the corner from me in Malibu so he can just come over and we can talk about it over a cup of coffee.
- James Gunn (@JamesGunn) February 26, 2018
I would be happy to do so, both as a good neighbor & an unemployed actor.
All the best, mh- Mark Hamill (@HamillHimself) February 26, 2018
Haha let's do it.
- James Gunn (@JamesGunn) February 26, 2018
DM me for my contact info if you're serious.
(& a good neighbor)
xoxo, mh- Mark Hamill (@HamillHimself) February 26, 2018
Yes I will although I don't think your DMs are on for me.
- James Gunn (@JamesGunn) February 26, 2018
Yes I will although I don't think your DMs are on for me.
- James Gunn (@JamesGunn) February 26, 2018
So, um, wow. There you have it. If Hamill does actually end up in Guardians of the Galaxy 3, we'll have Twitter to thank.
The Interesting Reason We Didn't Actually See Carl Die on The Walking Dead
This week on The Walking Dead, we finally bid a fond (and tearful) farewell to our old friend Carl Grimes. That's right, Rick's own son dies in the midseason premiere after receiving a fatal bite from a member of the undead. But Carl's death isn't just a quick moment; it's drawn out over the course of the entire episode with a particularly tragic end.
Carl's death is especially heartbreaking because he doesn't actually turn into a walker. Before the zombie virus kills him or turns him, he decides to take his own life by shooting himself in the head. At first, Rick and Michonne protest, saying he should be put to rest by a loved one. But Carl eventually convinces them to let him do it himself, and they go outside while he does it. Instead of witnessing the moment, we watch Rick and Michonne's reactions outside as they hear the gunshot. We never see Carl pull the trigger.
In a new interview with ComicBook.com, TWD's executive producer Greg Nicotero explains why they didn't show Carl's death. He compares it to the moment Carl has to kill his mother, Lori, in season three. "There's no reason that you need to see that moment. It's all implied . . . There is a respectful way to show this, and I really never imagined that we would have ever wanted to film that." It's an interesting perspective, especially given the fact that Glenn gruesomely dies on screen in the season seven premiere. In response, fans and the Parents Television Council accused the show of being too violent, and gratuitously so. Given Carl's more tasteful death, it's possible the creative forces behind the show really took this criticism to heart.
Then again, we do watch Morgan as he literally pulls some Savior's intestines out through a gaping stomach wound in the exact same episode, so The Walking Dead's levels of taste and respect will always be a little up in the air.
Quick! Here Are All the Instagram Captions You Can Use From Beyoncé's "Top Off" Verse
Beyoncé is back - although, let the record show we'll never actually admit she went anywhere at all. After appearing in remixes of Ed Sheeran's "Perfect" and J Balvin's "Mi Gente," the iconic artist just debuted a triumphant verse in DJ Khaled's newly released single "Top Off," managing to effortlessly overshadow featured artists JAY-Z and Future in the process.
In the confident - if not cocky - song, Beyoncé boasts about breaking the internet, sitting courtside with her husband, and generally just f*cking it up in the best way possible. Beyoncé also seems to allude to her meeting with Tiffany Haddish, which the comedian promptly told virtually everyone about. In the delightfully shady line, Beyoncé considers the possibility of having people sign non-disclosures before partying with her.
Because we know what you're already thinking, read through all of her standout "Top Off" lyrics ahead and pick out your favorite one for your next Instagram caption.
Madelaine Petsch Just Confirmed a Big Riverdale Fan Theory: Cheryl Is Bisexual
Riverdale fans love speculating about the show, but there is one theory that hasn't been addressed . . . until now. After this season revealed that Cheryl has a secret obsession with her best friend, Josie, audiences couldn't help but wonder if her feelings were of a more romantic nature. Well, it seems we can quit guessing. During a YouTube Q&A, actress Madelaine Petsch addressed the scene in question and confirmed once and for all that her fan-favorite character, Cheryl, is actually bisexual.
"Cheryl just wants to have friends, and wants to be loved and wants to be surrounded by people," Petsch said about her character's obsession. "Josie is the only person who has shown interest in her, as a friend even. She doesn't understand feelings very well, and I think she's mucking up a friendship with romantic feelings, because she's never really felt love before." Even though she admitted Cheryl didn't address the situation the right way, she added that she thinks it was her way of "not knowing how to communicate feelings and still figuring out her sexuality."
In addition to addressing Cheryl's relationship with Josie, she also cleared up any confusion fans might have about her character's sexuality. "[Cheryl] is still figuring out what her sexuality is," she said. "She is definitely interested in both women and men, so I would say she is bisexual." She also added that fans will be seeing a lot more of Cheryl "figuring out who she is" in coming episodes. Is that a reference to Cheryl's upcoming scene with Toni in "The Hills Have Eyes"? Maybe.
And meanwhile, back in town… pic.twitter.com/Syb7QbkuzQ
- RobertoAguirreSacasa (@WriterRAS) March 1, 2018
It's no surprise that fans are already shipping the characters. Not only are the actresses who play them, Petsch and Vanessa Morgan, friends in real life, but we've already gotten a few glimpses of their characters' chemistry on screen. In fact, their relationship was teased all the way back at Comic-Con when it was announced that Toni would be bisexual.
While executive producer Sarah Schechter added that her character would be "an opportunity for more, different love triangles" (*cough* Bughead *cough*), Petsch insinuated that Toni might actually end up with Cheryl down the road when she noted that her character might be getting a female love interest this season. We're eager to see how this story plays out!

The Fifty Shades of Grey novels have not only spawned a mega-successful film franchise and a new appreciation for Jamie Dornan's half-naked body, but also BDSM-loving book clubs everywhere.

People Still Aren't Over the Pure Magic of the Scandal and HTGAWM Crossover Episode
We knew the Scandal and How to Get Away With Murder crossover episode was going to be good - after all, Viola Davis herself called it "black girl magic on steroids." Luckily we weren't disappointed. The episode, "Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself," blessed us with so many things: seeing Olivia as a professor; getting to hear Olivia and Annalise make epic, Shondaland speeches to each other; wine and popcorn; and an epic showdown at the Supreme Court. Naturally all this brilliance had #TGIT fans going out of their minds with excitement, which they shared on Twitter.

Who's Going to Win This Year's Oscars? Our Predictions
The biggest award show is still yet to happen this year: the Oscars! On March 4, the grandest show of them all will commence, following an already full season of shows. Because of those shows, we have a pretty good idea of which Oscar nominees will turn into Oscar winners - but like the nominations themselves, we think there might be a few surprises thrown in there. Here are our predictions for this year's Oscar winners.
16 Things We Know About The Handmaid's Tale Season 2
We're officially in some new fresh hell in 2018, and when it comes to The Handmaid's Tale, we're already looking ahead. If you read the book, you'll know that the first season finale ends in the same frustrating way the book ends: June is taken into a mysterious van and carted off to a mysterious future somewhere else. In this case, though, we don't have to wonder endlessly. How much can we uncover about the show's next chapter? Well, blessed be the fruit - we've got a lot to go over. Let's see what we could uncover (under his eye).
1. It's Going to Be Longer
While the first season was 10 episodes, the second has been extended to 13.
2. Alexis Bledel Will Reprise Her Role
Thought you'd seen the last of Ofglen/Emily? Not so fast. Bledel has been confirmed as part of season two's cast! We'll get a glimpse of Ofglen in the Colonies, the toxic wasteland where women who commit crimes are sent as punishment. "We get to see the colonies. It's a terrible place where they send Unwomen to work them to death," executive producer Bruce Miller said during a pre-Emmy panel in August. Bledel also commented on her character's new situation, saying, "I'm very interested to see what that looks like because it's a completely different world we haven't seen on the show yet - and I'm scared."
3. The Colonies Are Even Bleaker and Darker Than They Sound
A new feature by Marie Claire describes the Colonies in all their grim glory. As a refresher, the Colonies are where deviants (known as Unwomen) get sent for misbehaving. The new story describes the Colonies as "a dark and grime-filled wasteland." Costume designer Ane Crabtree offered a bit more insight. "The Unwomen are kind of the new Handmaids in season two. They're turning over soil, trying to move radiation, so they get filthy," she revealed. "They have probably six months - at best two years - to live. We're trying to show that humanity in their costumes. I made beautiful sheer pieces to be worn under their outfits since they strip down, as their clothing is full of radiation." Yikes.
4. The Trailer Is DARK
Here, we get a glimpse of all the mayhem that lies ahead. Offred is covered in blood and lighting things on fire! The Colonies are here, and they look f*cking awful! Tension is surely bubbling over, and we can't imagine what else this next bank of episodes might hold.
5. Surprise, Surprise: The President Has Inspired Parts of the Season
While season one of the show was planned before the 2016 election, the same is not true for season two. When it comes to some of Trump's "draconian policies," as Marie Claire phrases it, creator Bruce Miller can't help but incorporate today's reality into the fabric of the show. "Oh, I think we can't help but let it influence us," he said. "We have let it influence us. And there are a lot of issues we brought up last year that we want to address this year in ways we never had time to."
6. Things Are Only Going to Get Worse All Around
Earlier this month, The Pool interviewed Elisabeth Moss and grilled her on what's to come. "Wait till you see what's coming! It's going to get worse, girl. Season two is going to be bad too, really dark." Here we were, thinking June might have been rescued from the Waterfords. Maybe it's not that simple.
7. June Is Covered in Blood in a First Photo
You might remember how ruthlessly June is whisked away at the end of season one. We have no idea who takes her or where she even ends up. But if the first pictures of the season are any indication, she is certainly not safe. We're rooting for you, June!
8. June's Romance With Nick May Intensify
Elle ran a profile of Moss in early June, and she dropped a small tidbit about her Gilead lover, Nick. "It's part of the reason that I'm really excited about a season two, she's in this position where she might be in love with two people," Moss said, "Honestly, I think she does love Nick - if I can speak for her - but I don't know if she knows that she does yet. But she has a husband who she also loves, who's the father of Hannah, who she also now knows is alive."
9. Pay Attention to the Marthas
Showrunner Bruce Miller noted, "The Marthas in general in Gilead are kind of invisible . . . it's been great for us that it's been such a slow and careful building of a relationship between Rita and Offred. That slow and careful build-up in season one leads to a payoff so that we can use her more in season two."
10. We Might See Aunt Lydia's Backstory
Meanwhile, Miller also spoke to The New York Times about season two. Aunt Lydia could still play a key role in the show's next chapter. "Aunt Lydia is one of my most fascinating characters," Miller said. "We would like to explore her back story, and what the lives of the aunts are like."
11. The Mayday Resistance Is Another Key Component, but Let's Not Get Too Excited
It's easy to assume Mayday means salvation for the Handmaids, but not so fast. "The Mayday resistance is going to be a big part of Season two," Miller admitted. "The part that I've been thinking about is that Mayday is not the handmaid rescue organization - it's the anti-Gilead organization. And the anti-Gilead organization is not necessarily a friend to June or a friend to Handmaids. If I was going to try to hurt Gilead, the first thing I might do is kill all the handmaids. You're trying to weaken the state."
12. The Waterfords Aren't Necessarily Going Away
After the finale, Miller talked about what's to come. In regards to the Waterfords, he said, "They're still a part of our plans for season two but in interesting ways."
13. We Will Meet June's Mother
Miller also explained how June's parentage could factor into the story. Miller spoke about June's mother: "We've been thinking about her a lot. June's mother is a big character in the book and representative of an interesting kind of feminism that was seemingly more of that time."
14. The Theme
"At the end of season one, we find out June was pregnant. The theme of season two is motherhood and what it means to be a mother," Miller explained at The Handmaid's Tale panel in August. "It's the way we mother our good friends and the people in our lives."
15. Luke and Moira Might Attempt a Daring Rescue
During the panel in August, Samira Wiley discussed the new possibilities season two holds since it's going beyond the story of the book. "The [first] season ends exactly where the book ends, and to be able to go in season two not knowing what's going to happen and to be in this completely new country with Luke who's the only family I have, it's exciting to see what's going to happen," she said.
16. The Premiere Date Has Been Set
The second season is going to drop on April 25. Are you ready for it?
This Cheap Wine From Walmart Is Ranked as One of the Best in the World
If you're one of those people who orders the cheapest glass of wine on the menu because you can't tell the difference (no shame), this news is going to make your day. A $7 bottle of wine sold at Walmart has been ranked as one of the best in the world by Decanter Magazine, which covers wine and spirits. The award-winning red wine is La Moneda Reserva's Malbec, a Chilean wine whose description notes that it has a "deep purple color with violet tints, rounded and velvety tannins, complex plum, fig, and strawberry flavors and excellent length."
The wine earned the title of Platinum Best in Show at the 2015 Decanter World Wine Awards, where more than 200 experts tasted thousands of wines (blindly!), proving that a wine's price tag is not always associated with its quality. The best part is the wine is now available for the first time at Walmart locations in the US, after previously only being sold by Walmart's UK-based grocery brand, Asda. Note that wine is an in-store-only purchase at Walmart, so you can't buy it online. Check the online store locator to see if it's in stock near you. If you volunteer to bring the wine to dinner, you'll be able to impress your family and friends with this award-winning bottle - they'll never have to know the cost.

If you're guilty of the same thing, then you need a breakfast intervention. Behold, 26 delicious recipes that are quick, easy, and filling. It's possible to make a good breakfast without getting up any earlier (or at least not much earlier), and the best part is you'll be completely satisfied until lunchtime rolls around.
Brace Yourself - Cheese Is Now a Popular Tea Topping
Some people love their tea with a little milk and honey. Others take their tea with cream and sugar. Me? I love it with cheese. That's right, I said it. Cheese.
Wait, don't run off. I promise you cheese tea is a real thing and tastes nothing like what you think it does. Right now you might be imagining a piping hot cup of tea topped with curdling fondue, or perhaps a mug of tea spiraled with a mountain of canned squeeze cheese, but you'd be wrong. Cheese tea is nothing like that. In fact, it's got more in common with cheesecake or a milkshake than it does pizza.
Cheese tea, which originated in Taiwan and worked its way through Asia before gaining popularity in the US, began as tea topped with cheese powder. Yet like all great culinary inventions, it has evolved over time and now consists of a cup of tea topped with a thick layer of creamy foam. The foam is typically made from a mixture of cream cheese, whipped cream, and milk. It's akin to a lightly whipped, cheesecake-flavored milkshake sitting delicately on top of your brew, and it's ready to become your next Instagrammable drink (seriously, prepare to get lost in the mesmerizing collection of photos on the #cheesetea hashtag).
The drink has been popping up in US boba shops over the last couple of years, and a cult following has been steadily growing. But if you still can't get into the idea of pairing cheese with your tea, then perhaps the next evolution will strike your fancy.
"The only way to taste the flavors as they blend together is to drink it like a beer."
I frequently order "cheese" tea from Enough Tea & Coffee in San Francisco, and I spoke with the shop's owner, Kris Wang, to hear about her rendition that I can't get enough of. She's decided to forgo the cheese completely and offers a Sea Salt Mousse Tea ($5, pictured above) instead. Much like regular cheese tea, Wang's offering has a delicious dairy foam atop freshly brewed iced tea, with the choice of black, green, or oolong tea. However, Wang, a culinary school graduate, has applied her skills and created a version that does not use any cheese. The result is a lightly sweetened cold iced tea topped with a slightly thick, sweet, and salty whip. It's a major upgrade from the whipped cream you might be used to.
When I asked about what Wang thought of the cheese-tea trend taking on America, she laughed and said that it's great but that she's worried people won't drink it correctly. She says the only way to taste the flavors as they blend together is to drink it like a beer. So whether you get your hands on a cheese tea or a cheese-free one, take off the lid, put down the straw, and cheers!
Starbucks Hong Kong Has a Honey Blossom Creme Frappuccino, and It's So Beautiful It Hurts
Starbucks continues to find new ways to make pink drinks, and the latest creation is the Honey Blosson Creme Frappuccino. Before you get too excited about the eye-catching beverage, here's the bad news: it's only available at Starbucks locations in Hong Kong and Thailand. But that won't stop us from drooling over the pretty photos and crossing our fingers for a US launch!
The Honey Blossom Creme Frappuccino is a blended strawberry cream smoothie with whipped cream, honey, and a sprinkling of dried strawberries and crunchy pink puffed rice. It's not exactly a coffee drink and is more like a dessert that's perfect for an afternoon pick-me-up. This springtime drink, which is similar to last year's Sakura Blossom Frappuccino, is inspired by the gorgeous colors of cherry blossom petals. Keep reading to get a glimpse of some of the obligatory Instagram photos of this pink drink!
Gordon Ramsay Reveals the Top 3 Food Trends That He Thinks Need to End ASAP
Source: Getty / Tony Barson
Gordon Ramsay never shies away from sharing his true feelings, and he recently got brutally honest about a few food trends that he thinks need to go away. When I sat down with the chef in his newly opened Hell's Kitchen restaurant in Las Vegas, we chatted about beef Wellington, sticky toffee pudding, and what food-related trends he is 100 percent over. (We already know he dislikes pineapple pizza, so I braced myself for yet another polarizing conversation.) When POPSUGAR asked what specific trends in the food and restaurant world need to die ASAP, Gordon responded with three passionate answers.
1. Foams
Gordon was quick to say "foams" as the first trend he disagrees with. I had to point out that he does in fact have a citrus foam on the Hell's Kitchen menu - it comes on top of the pineapple carpaccio, a wonderful dessert. He said, "That was a dessert foam." He explained that making a foam out of just any savory dish is not the way to go. "The latest one I had, I was in Saint Paul, and someone gave me a bone marrow foam. Now when I think about having bone marrow, I don't think about it as a foam. You can have a bit of fun with desserts." Lesson learned: be strategic with your foam-ified choices, chefs. Gordon added, "Sometimes they look like toxic scum in a stagnant pool. It was not very good."
2. Wagyu
Look at the menu of any number of fine-dining restaurants or steakhouses, and you'll see Wagyu, a high-end cut of beef that comes from Japanese cattle and is known for its tenderness and marbling. Gordon is over its ubiquity. He explained why, saying, "Because it's a special cut. It needs to be treated with a little bit of respect. Everywhere you go now, there's f*cking Wagyu meatballs. Preserve it a little bit. Rest it. Allow it to become special." Once again, Gordon does have Wagyu meatballs on his own menu at Hell's Kitchen (so good). They're slow-roasted in a tomato sauce and served with polenta croutons - if anyone's able to pull Wagyu off to perfection, it's this guy.

3. Truffle oil
Gordon's got some feelings on that truffle mac and cheese you might be eyeing at a restaurant. He said, "The worst thing, for me, is truffle oil. That thing needs to be let down. When [people] use it, they use the same f*cking top [as any other oil], so they pour it, and it comes out in abundance. This thing needs to be let out in tiny, tiny, little [amounts]."
The Completely Addictive Method of Cooking Broccoli and Cauliflower
It won't be a challenge to eat your veggies if you try this easy technique for roasting cauliflower and broccoli. For months, a few women in our office have been praising roasted cruciferous veggies. I'm already a huge fan of baked kale chips, roasted brussels sprouts, and oven-crisped cabbage, so I'm not sure why it took me so long to try out roasted cauliflower and broccoli. Now that I have, I'm never going back to the steamed stuff. The oven morphed the little veggie trees into crisp nuggets that could almost pass for chips. They are addictive . . . don't be surprised if those around you fight for the last bites!
Here's what you'll do:
- Cut the broccoli and cauliflower into equally sized pieces.
- Spread across a rimmed sheet tray, leaving space between each floret. Drizzle olive oil across the veggies and salt and pepper to taste.
- Roast in a 400°F oven for 18-23 minutes, or until crispy to your liking.
Michael B. Jordan Fanboyed Over a Delivery of Apple Juice, and Honestly, Same
There are some things in life that just can't be explained, and one of those things is an obsession with Martinelli's apple juice. Is it because the sugary beverage comes in an ultrasleek glass bottle with the perfect amount of liquid or because it's been a Sunday morning brunch staple in my house my entire life? I don't know. But Martinelli's has got the juice, and I'm obsessed. So, dear reader, you can only imagine my level of excitement when my pseudo boyfriend and fellow Aquarius Michael B. Jordan professed his mutual love for the apple juice brand on his Instagram story, leaving me with yet another reason to swoon.
Since starring in the recent Marvel hit Black Panther, the 31-year-old actor has stolen the hearts of just about everyone with an aorta, including the masterminds at Martinelli's. (If you must know, I've been crushing on him since his days as Vince Howard in Friday Night Lights - sorry, Riggins.)
Once the brand of beloved apple juice found out how much Michael loves its juice, the company quickly sent him a box of the product, which we're deeming "Michael's Secret Stuff," with a sweet note about their mutual love, seen below. We absolutely don't blame him for joking about receiving a "lifetime supply" - we'd totally try to manifest that into reality if we were him. Stars, they're just like us.
The 1 Homemade Condiment You Should (and Can) Make Immediately

Forget About the Box's Instructions; Try Cooking Your Frozen Pizza Like This
If frozen pizza turns out funky for you (burnt spots, soggy bits, general mediocre outcomes), here's a tip from the internet. Forget about the back-of-the-box instructions, and instead, cook your frozen pizza like this guy. Reddit user numbahtwelve says to fully thaw the pizza and crank your oven to the hottest temperature it will go (not the broil setting). Then, cook the pizza on the rack of the oven (unless you own a pizza stone or cast-iron skillet) for five to eight minutes or until the crust crisps and cheese bubbles.
His logic? Restaurants and pizza chains cook the 'za on pizza stones in commercial ovens that are set to 700°F-1000°F. This little hack emulates the professional method without the use of fancy equipment. Now, if you want to be truly fancy, brush the crust with olive oil and sprinkle crushed garlic or garlic powder on it, before baking. Mmm . . . seems like a simple yet reliable hack to try for the next frozen pizza night.
The Best Way to Scramble Eggs, According to Anthony Bourdain
When it comes to the best way to scramble eggs, chefs tend to disagree. And one chef who embraces an entirely back-to-basics, no-frills approach is Anthony Bourdain. Bourdain describes his perfect scrambled egg in a video and makes it clear there's one thing you should never add to to the equation: dairy-heavy products like milk or cream. "I just don't feel that milk or cream adds anything. I believe that a scrambled egg is principally about the egg," the chef says in the video. "You're not making a quiche here," he says. In his Appetites cookbook, which is filled with recipes that Bourdain thinks everyone should know how to cook, he describes his go-to method of scrambling eggs. Ready for it?
Start with fresh eggs, and get a hot - but not too hot - pan going. Crack the eggs on a flat surface before dropping them into a bowl to prevent any shells from sneaking in. Beat them with a fork, but don't overbeat them; you want to have a ripple of white and yellow instead of an entirely yellow mixture. Drop plenty of whole butter into the hot pan until it's foaming, followed by the beaten eggs. Allow the eggs to form a little bit before beginning to gently move them around in a "figure-eight pattern," as Anthony describes. The final product should be fluffy, airy, and rippled.
So there you have it. Unlike Alton Brown, who scrambles his eggs with whole milk, or Chrissy Teigen, who makes "cheesy" cheeseless scrambled eggs with heavy cream, or Paula Deen, who claims adding water lightens them up, Anthony Bourdain omits any of these additions for a basic, buttery egg.
