60 Easy Halloween Costumes Any Teacher Can Make
Halloween sort of changes once you become a teacher. Celebrating the candy-centered holiday usually means keeping over-excited kids in line, managing multiple Halloween classroom events, and - of course - showing off your best-dressed Halloween costume attire (to the students and teacher co-workers). Even though there are plenty of teachers who have mastered the art of DIY, thinking of a creative, clever, and original Halloween costume can still be tough. Luckily, more than a few teachers have paved the way when it comes to making your own Halloween costume - and you don't need to be totally crafty to re-create them.
These 2 Products Totally Turned My Cleaning Routine on Its Head; There, I Said It
As a pet mama to a handful of cats - read: five temperamental little fuzzballs - and a gigantic black lab, I've quickly grown accustomed to cleaning my 800-square-foot apartment every single day. Did my dislike for cleaning dissuade me from taking in two more homeless kitties two months ago? Nope!
Although pets are nowhere near as messy as human children, my checklist is still pretty long when I get home from work every night. I have to walk and feed the dog, clean out the litter boxes, feed the cats, and usually dust and/or clean up whatever mess my little critters made throughout the day. (My cats' footprints are always everywhere!)
I finally caved and tried out two products from iRobot, the Roomba 690 ($297) and the Braava Jet Mopping Robot ($179), and I'm obsessed. I was skeptical at first, but after using them, I'm not sure how I lived without them. As much as I expected cleaning to take over my life thanks to my furry friends, these nifty little robots made my routine a million times easier. Here's why.

Harry and Meghan Got Adorably Competitive While Tossing Boots Around in New Zealand
There's no doubt Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are head-over-heels for each other, but even their fairytale romance needs a little competition every once in a while. During their tour stop in New Zealand, the royal couple split up into separate teams during a game of "welly wanging" and things got adorably heated.
Welly wanging is essentially a competition where participants try to throw a Wellington boot, or rainboot, as far as possible. A video shared by Kensington Palace shows Meghan looking very invested in her toss, while Harry looks on laughing. The duchess did end up taking home the trophy, along with a precious pair of tiny boots for their "little bump." Watch Meghan's winning throw below, and keep reading to see more snaps from the couple's hilarious outing.
Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth's Wickedly Sweet Friendship in Pictures
It's pretty clear that Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth have a magical bond. While the ladies are well-known for originating the roles of Elphaba and Glinda in Broadway's Wicked in 2003, they have also maintained a close friendship off stage. In addition to singing a duet of "For Good" for the musical's "Out of Oz" series back in 2016, the ladies are set to have a special reunion for NBC's upcoming concert special, A Very Wicked Halloween, this October. In honor of the momentous occasion, we're looking back at all the wickedly sweet moments Idina and Kristin have shared over the years.
Doing the Wicked Special With Ariana Grande Is a "Full Circle" Moment For Kristin Chenoweth
Kristin Chenoweth is stepping back into Glinda's glittery pink shoes for NBC's upcoming Wicked special, and it goes without saying that the whole thing is incredibly emotional. Not only is she reuniting with her costar Idina Menzel after 15 years, but she's also reuniting with her Hairspray Live! costar Ariana Grande. While the two starred in NBC's live production together back in 2016, their close bond goes back even further than that.
Chenoweth actually met Grande when she was still in Wicked, so it comes as no surprise that she's feeling nostalgic about having the 25-year-old singer in the special. While talking about the Wicked concert with POPSUGAR, Chenoweth said that reuniting with Grande simply feels "like a Wednesday" because they are so close. "I talk to her all the time," she explained. "And this is a full circle moment because I met her when she was 9 and she wanted to do this show."

In fact, she already knows that she's going to shed a few tears over Grande's performance. "I'll probably cry," she said ahead of the special's taping. "Green lighting isn't going to be just it. It's going to be green snot, too." Honestly, same. Be sure to tune into Grande's performance and more when NBC's A Very Wicked Halloween airs on Oct. 29.
There's Only 1 Way to Describe Pentatonix's Wicked Performance: Totally Oz-Some
Pentatonix hit all the right notes with their performance on NBC's Wicked special. During the show on Monday night, the a cappella group put their own spin on "What Is This Feeling?" and it was nothing short of "Oz-some." Not only was the group totally in sync as they belted the lyrics to the hit number, but Mitch Grassi and Kirstin Maldonado also made the perfect Glinda and Elphaba. Seriously, can we get these two in the Broadway production ASAP? See the catchy performance ahead.
Good Luck Not Crying Over Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth's "For Good" Performance
NBC celebrated Wicked's 15th anniversary with a Halloween special on Monday night, and it was nothing short of emotional. Not only did the special include some star-studded performances - including Ariana Grande's rendition of "The Wizard and I" - but it also featured a few very special Wicked reunions. After Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth finished cohosting the special, they ended the night on a high note by bringing out their fellow Elphabas and Glindas to sing the musical's final number, "For Good." As the ladies held hands on stage and sang about sisterhood and friendship, it was hard not to shed a few tears . . . OK, a lot of tears! Even Chenoweth got a little choked up during the performance. See the endearing moment ahead.
To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before: It’s a Lara Jean Halloween, and We Can’t Get Over These Cute Costumes
It feels like ages since we were all swept up in the glorious mania that Netflix's adaptation of To All the Boys I've Loved Before inspired in us, but shockingly, the film only premiered in August 2018. We all fell in love with Jenny Han's teen love story (as well as the adorable duo who played the leading couple), and eagerly await the day Netflix gives us more. Now come October, TATBILB has inspired another sort of mania in the form of really amazing Halloween costumes.
Author Jenny Han took to Twitter to share the multitude of Lara Jean costumes she spotted online, highlighting exactly how much of an impact her endearing protagonist had on pop culture. Using a quote from the book, Han pointed out how the costumes were more than just costumes, they were a sign of what happens when people get to see themselves represented in the media. "There are very limited options for Asian girls on Halloween," Han wrote, using one of Lara Jean's quotes from the TATBILB novel. ""Like one year I went as Velma from Scooby-Doo, but people just asked me if I was a manga character." Not this Halloween, Lara Jean 👻"
It's obvious that TATBILB touched audiences in more ways than just revitalizing the rom-com genre. It offered young Asian-American women a relatable character to embrace and representation that they were sorely lacking in pop culture. "Their proud smiles brought happy tears to my eyes on a dark day," Han wrote in another tweet. "I hope they bring you a little cheer, too." Check out the amazing costumes ahead.
Ariana Grande's Performance on the Wicked Special Is About to Blow You Away
Hold on to your witch hats, because Ariana Grande's performance on NBC's Wicked special is about to blow you away. While Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel gave fabulous performances of their hit songs, Grande really brought the house down (pun intended) with her rendition of "The Wizard and I." Dressed from head to toe in black and green, the singer showed off her incredible voice as she hit all the right notes. See her gorgeous performance ahead!

Meghan Markle Comforting a Crying Boy Only Proves What an Amazing Mom She'll Be
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are currently on the final leg of their royal tour of Australia and New Zealand, and the cute moments just keep coming! After visiting the Maranui Cafe in Wellington on Monday, the mom-to-be handed out some sweet treats to a group of kids from Houghton Valley School waiting outside to meet her and Harry. "They asked us what our names were and also they were really nice and just talked normally to us," one of the students told TV NZ. "My legs were shaking so much," another kid added.
In fact, one child in particular, 5-year-old Joe Young, was so overwhelmed with emotion that as Meghan approached him, he began sobbing. Meghan, being the angel she is, comforted Joe by patting his stomach and taking a look at a flag he made. Yep, Meghan is going to make an amazing mom.
Queer Eye's Antoni Gives Eerie American Psycho Vibes in the Teaser For Netflix's New Show
Spooky season just got a lot spookier . . . and more seasoned. On Monday, Netflix dropped a teaser for its sinister new anthology of horror shorts titled Don't Watch This, and it features the lovable chef from the streaming service's popular show Queer Eye. That's right, Antoni Porowski - known for pleasantly helping people improve their cooking skills - just showed us a side of him that might make us rethink going to one of his dinner parties (if we're ever cool enough to get invited).
In the clip for the episode called "Antoni Psycho," Porowski is clearly channeling his inner Patrick Bateman from American Psycho. He dons a Greek yogurt face mask while doing a few yoga stretches in nothing but his Calvin Klein underwear (which isn't a bad start, honestly - LOOK at those abs). Totally normal, right? Well, things take a scary turn as Porowski wipes a knife clean as he eerily declares, "I don't care whether they like what I cook or not. They'll eat it if they know what's good for them." Ummm, what?! Who is the "they" that he's talking about? What happened to our smiley Antoni who just wants to help people make a nice dish of roasted potatoes? Antoni, are you OK? What did Netflix DO to you? As scary as this seems, it looks like we're going to have to give this a watch, because clearly Porowski has a bit of a dark side.
Don't Watch This is now available to stream on Netflix.
We're So Close to the End of Rick Grimes on The Walking Dead, and Fans Cannot Deal
Warning: Spoilers for the latest episode of The Walking Dead ahead!
The end is nigh, folks. We are an episode away from Rick Grimes's final episode and The Walking Dead fans are definitely not prepared.
Season nine's fourth episode, "The Obliged," set the apocalyptic sheriff's death in motion and it truly looks like there's no turning back from here. Amid all the unrest between the communities and folks turning away from his bridge pet project, Rick also has to contend with Maggie and Daryl's scheming.
When Rick learns Maggie is on her way to Alexandria, he knows she's going there to kill Negan and attempts to leave the bridge's construction site to get there first. Daryl, playing his role of distraction, offers to take him there on his bike. The two begin a wayward journey to Alexandria, during which all the unspoken tension between them bubbles up. Considering how unsubtle Daryl has been about his feelings of discontent, it's no surprise that the two get into it during their bike ride. Their verbal sparring becomes an actual scuffle (which is weirdly amusing to watch because normally TWD scuffles involve machetes or something lethal) before the two fall into a pit on the side of the road.
The pit allows the two to properly hash out their differences, but they can't truly come to an accord. Rick refuses to let Daryl or Maggie destroy the dream world he's resolved to make in his son's honor. Daryl pleads with Rick to let go of Carl, telling him his dream of utopia isn't worth fighting for. When Rick finds a horse and the two part ways, it's a little heartbreaking to think that it's probably the last time they'll ever see each other again.
Now on his horse (which is white and an omen of death if I ever saw one), Rick heads back to the bridge to try and lead away the approaching walker herd from the site. In a scene that brings back memories of season one, Rick and his horse find themselves at a fork in the road, flanked by two hordes of walkers. The horse spooks and rears up, dropping Rick into a pile of rubble and running off. Rick is left behind, his stomach impaled by steel rebar, as the walkers come closer to him.
In true Walking Dead fashion, we're left to wonder, "Is this it?" Is this how Rick Grimes is truly going to go? Served up to walkers on a silver platter with no way out? As I've said before, it better not be! Despite Glenn not being around to rescue him from his horse-afflicted fate this time, we're sure there's going to more to this ending than we expect. But even so, that doesn't make it easier to watch. Fans don't know whether to be more torn up about Rick's imminent end, that emotional goodbye between Rick and Daryl, or the turmoil they have to look forward to in the next episode. Keep reading to see some of their reactions ahead.
A Riverdale Character Has a Very, VERY Subtle Cameo in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
Warning: Spoilers for Chilling Adventures of Sabrina below!
For many Riverdale fans out there, the premiere of Netflix's Chilling Adventures of Sabrina - which is technically a spinoff of the CW drama - presents an exciting opportunity for Archie, Betty, and the rest of the gang to mix with the witches of Sabrina Spellman's Greendale. Though the characters do just that in the comics, there hasn't been any word of an official Sabrina/Riverdale crossover just yet. We even asked the cast their thoughts on it in a recent interview, and they all agreed it "should happen way in the future." That's why it was so surprising (and cool!) (and also a little confusing!) to see a Riverdale character pop up in episode seven of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, even if it was just for a second.
The episode in question, titled "Feast of Feasts," revolves around Thanksgiving, which sees villainous high school teacher - aka Madame Satan - Miss Wardwell ordering a pizza for dinner rather than settling in with some traditional turkey. It all becomes clear why she opted for pizza, however, when she decides to chow down on the high school delivery boy instead. The unfortunate student just so happens to be Ben, who Riverdale fans should recognize.
Over the last three seasons the character has popped up everywhere from making out with Miss Grundy the night she's murdered by the Black Hood to serving hot dogs at the Twilight Drive-In. He's also the person playing Griffins and Gargoyles (a Dungeons and Dragons knockoff) with Dilton Doiley in season three, and the boy in the hospital who seemingly kills himself in front of Betty and Jughead when he jumps out the window after declaring, "You'll fly too."
Given his last, fatal appearance on Riverdale, how is Ben able to show up on Miss Wardwell's doorstep? Is Greendale a version of the afterlife? Or does he deliver that pizza before he jumps out the window in season three of Riverdale? During a brief interview with ET, executive producer of both Riverdale and Sabrina, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, hinted that time is a tricky concept in both series.
"It suggests a very deep, deep mythology where time and space bends. I love that kid. I'm sad that he keeps turning up and horrible things keep happening to him," he said, before noting that Ben's fall at the hospital might not have been fatal after all. "[The fall] seemed like it was pretty final, but yet there he is in Greendale. But in Greendale, everyone pops up - the dead don't stay dead long in Greendale."
Apparently we'll have to wait for season two of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina to find out if Ben survived his run-in with Miss Wardwell.
Priyanka Chopra's Tiffany's-Themed Bridal Shower Sounds Like an Absolute Dream
Priyanka Chopra is saying goodbye to the single life! The bride-to-be celebrated her bridal shower at Tiffany & Co.'s Blue Box Cafe in NYC on Sunday, and it was nothing short of magical. The 36-year-old Quantico actress looked gorgeous in a white feathered dress by Marchesa and was all smiles as she arrived at the bash hosted by her bridesmaids Anjula Acharia and Mubina Rattonsey. The shower brought out Priyanka's nearest and dearest including Danielle Jonas, Kelly Ripa, and Lupita Nyong'o. Pal Meghan Markle was unfortunately on her royal tour of Australia and New Zealand with Prince Harry, so that's likely why she couldn't make it.
During the party, Nick Jonas's mother, Denise, reportedly gave a beautiful speech about Priyanka. "It was so fun!" a source told E! News. "There were about 100 people there." Guests were also treated to swag bags featuring a mini cake shaped like a Tiffany box, a passport case, and champagne.
Nick and Priyanka got engaged after two months of dating this past July. The 26-year-old singer reportedly closed down a Tiffany & Co. store to find the perfect ring, so perhaps that's why Priyanka chose to have her bridal shower at the jewelry store's cafe. According to Us Weekly, the pair will be tying the knot in India this December. "They really want to blend wedding traditions from both of their cultures that are important to them," an insider revealed. "Nick and Priyanka can't wait to get married. They have amazing chemistry and can't wait to have kids." Let the wedding countdown begin!
Why It's Time to Start Shipping Veronica and Archie on Riverdale
Riverdale is full of intricate love stories and lots of drama, but one of the most heated debates seems to be over who Archie should end up with: Betty or Veronica. While the comics certainly play up the love triangle, The CW series is a bit less complicated. In fact, we're pretty adamant that Veronica and Archie will be endgame. While we love Betty's friendship with the red-headed hottie, they're simply better off as just that - friends. Plus, have you seen the chemistry between Betty and Jughead? Bughead forever. If you're still on the fence, let's go over all the reasons Veronica and Archie, aka Varchie, are actually the perfect match.

Kylie Jenner's Love of Butterflies Soars to New Heights With Her and Stormi's Halloween Costumes
Kylie Jenner is making Stormi's first Halloween a matching and memorable one. Days after a family trip to the pumpkin patch with Travis Scott, the 21-year-old beauty mogul and daughter Stormi got even more into the festive Fall spirit with their twin butterfly costumes.
Aside from just being cute as can be, these sweet outfits actually have a hidden significance. It's no secret that Kylie has a fascination with butterflies. She has admitted to being "terrified" of them but frequently wears butterfly-themed accessories and shares a tiny symbolic tattoo with boyfriend Travis. His hit song "Butterfly Effect" is also reportedly about how he and Kylie met. Before Stormi was born, it was rumored her name would have something to do with butterflies, so this clever costume nod totally makes sense. Now, what will the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner "triplets" wear this year?

Meghan Markle's Shoes Are Called "Reign" Boots, and I Can Hear the Queen Chuckling in England
Meghan Markle always keeps her fashion picks clever, from her head down to her toes. As the royal tour winds down, the Duchess of Sussex continues to impress us with her sleek and sophisticated maternity style, no matter the occasion. Not even inclement weather can bring her outfits down, as we witnessed when she stepped out in Auckland, New Zealand, with Prince Harry on Oct. 29.
Meghan kept things casual as she and Harry dedicated The Queen's Commonwealth Canopy in the rain, opting for a black Lavender Hill Clothing Co. t-shirt, a Karen Walker jacket, and J.Crew jeans. She paired the ensemble with Boh Runga stud earrings and a Simon James diamond necklace modeled after a Maori tattoo. The cherry on top of this magnificently minimalist outfit? Her cheeky choice in footwear. The duchess chose a pair of fittingly named "Reign" boots from the Muck Boot Company for the outing. Meghan's got jokes, y'all. Check out more snaps of her full look ahead.

After enjoying a party in Mumbai with family and friends, for which Priyanka wore a traditional chikankari sherwani by Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla Couture and, later, changed into a beige midi dress and diamonds, she stepped out in NYC for a soirée at Tiffany's Blue Box Cafe in Midtown.
Priyanka decided on a white Marchesa ensemble, dreamed up with the help of her stylist, Mimi Cuttrell. The strapless number came complete with a column skirt that was embroidered and feathered, and she finished the outfit with neutral-toned Christian Louboutin pumps, a sparkling clutch, and, of course, her engagement ring and jewels from Tiffany & Co. Read on to see snaps of Pri entering her bash, get details on her beauty look, and just try to imagine how she can outdo this gorgeous appearance on her special day.

We all know that Queen Letizia of Spain has impeccable style, but have you ever noticed how chic her mother-in-law, Queen Sofía, is? She's been part of the Spanish royal family for over 50 years, and in that time, she's rarely put a fashion foot wrong.

To celebrate the Spanish royal's upcoming birthday (she turns 80 on Nov. 2!), we've rounded up 15 of her most stylish moments from over the years. Read through to see them all.
Meghan Markle Took a Risk in This Sultry Tuxedo Dress, but Boy, Did She Look Good
Meghan Markle's royal tour wardrobe has been every bit as good as we were hoping for, if not better. Over the past two weeks, the Duchess of Sussex has stunned in glamorous gowns, relaxed shirtdresses, and rule-breaking ensembles alike, continuing to shake things up when it comes to royal fashion. And on her latest outing in New Zealand, Meghan flaunted her figure in an elegant yet sultry look.
When she and Prince Harry attended an event celebrating Wellington's thriving art scene, the duchess wore a custom white tuxedo dress by Maggie Marilyn, a New Zealand based label. She paired the smart design - which originally featured ruched sleeves and came with practical side pockets - with a navy coat, matching suede heels, and delicate silver jewelry, looking as stylish as ever.
Of course, it's not the first time that Meghan has stunned in a tuxedo dress. Back in August, the duchess wore a similar ensemble when she attended a special fundraising performance of the musical Hamilton in London, and it's easy to understand why she loves the style so much. Read on to get a closer look at both looks, then shop Meghan's original Maggie Marilyn dress (as well as similar options) if you're feeling inspired.
Exactly Where You Can Buy All of Meghan Markle's Royal Tour Looks
If every time Meghan Markle steps out on tour (and everywhere else, for that matter), you're thinking, "I want everything she's wearing," you're not alone. That's the "Meghan Markle effect" at work, and it seems none of us are immune to her fashion influence. Between key new pieces - that Gucci bag, for starters - and classic staples like Meghan's perfect trench coat, she's mastered a cool-meets-understated elegance that's royal and accessible all at once. So, yeah, can you fault us if we want all the same pieces?
Read on to see and shop essentials from the duchess's Australian tour.
How Meghan Markle Found the $195 Jeans She's Worn 5 Times Since Announcing Her Pregnancy
The most important thing you should know about the jeans Meghan Markle's been wearing religiously - Outland Denim's Harriet High-Rise Skinny ($195) - is that they are made sustainably by women in Cambodian villages who depend on their careers as seamstresses to avoid poverty. Outland's founder James Bartle has made it the label's mission to set new standards for people who work in the garment industry by caring for its staff through wage and training, teaching them superior strategies for sewing premium denim.
We're sure Meghan is well-aware of Outland's story. And when we talked to a representative from the brand, the "Meghan Markle effect" was acknowledged immediately: "We are happy to report that in the two weeks since Meghan first wore the jeans on October 17 in Dubbo, our global sales online (through our suite of sites - .au, .com, .ca, .co.uk) have increased 2374 percent, while our global online traffic has increased over 3000 percent, excluding purchases made at our retailers." Wow.
But how did Meghan get her hands on the jeans in the first place? "A representative of [Outland Denim] was able to present a representative of Meghan's with a modest selection of our jeans, and the process went from there. We are just thankful that she loved the product and the story behind it enough to choose to wear them. We believe that she may have a few [additional] styles in her personal inventory, but it's quite clear the Harriet are her favorite, particularly in these early stages of her pregnancy," we were told by the brand, which is headquartered in Australia.
While Meghan is the first "celebrity of her caliber" to step out publicly in Outland, we doubt she'll be the last. She has now worn the Harriet exactly five times on her royal tour of Australia, styling the slim fit with everything from Stuart Weitzman booties to pumps and coats that make for memorable outfits. But the foundation for these looks starts with Outland. If you want to know more about Meghan's go-to pair and shop them for yourself, scroll to see her wearing them and find out what makes them so unique.
12 Times Princess Diana Royally Schooled Us in How to Style Denim
We've got a theory that every denim designer right now has a Princess Diana mood board taped to a wall somewhere. This is because every trend dominating runways and stores right now, from mom jeans to overalls, was first worn by the lady of denim herself. Showcasing her love for the fabric, Diana would often opt for a pair of high-waisted jeans on an off-duty day with her sons, later dressing up the style on tours with oversize blazers and boots. Along with classic jeans, her closet featured a selection of denim shirts, even styled with jeans for a full denim-on-denim look on occasion.
This isn't the first time we've acknowledged Diana's outfits being ahead of their time. Her undeniably iconic style still reigns today, from her love of heavy aviator sunglasses that suited her delicate features to her collection of Summer swimsuits that we're all still shopping right now. (Oh, and hell yes she owned Superga sneakers, worn with jeans, of course.) Scroll to be schooled on how to wear denim now, by someone who was styling it royally well 25 years ago.
Meghan Markle's Ankle Boots Definitely Make Us Stand at Attention
It feels like every day of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's royal tour is an excuse for Meghan to throw us a fashion curve ball. From fantasy gowns to spaghetti strap sundresses, she's been wowing us with every appearance. On a visit to the Maranui Cafe in Wellington, New Zealand, the duchess kept things casual in items we're used to seeing her in, including a soft waterfall jacket courtesy of Club Monaco and the Outland Denim jeans she first sported in Dubbo, Australia. But she dialed things up a notch by teaming the laid-back look with a serious pair of statement-making boots.
We couldn't help but stare at Meghan's utility-inspired ankle boots, which are the Stuart Weitzman "Veruka" boots. Don't let the name put you off (seriously, Veruka?!), because these boots are perfect for a little combat-inspired chic, and they come in all manner of different colors and finishes, so even if you can't track down Meghan's black suede version, you can still take this look for a spin. As Meghan proves, they take a simple outfit to new levels and are the perfect basis to your Fall wardrobe. Keep reading to see how Meghan styled them, then shop her entire look for yourself.
Meghan Markle Only Just Announced Her Pregnancy, but Her Maternity Style Is Already on Point
On Oct. 12, Kensington Palace officially announced that Meghan Markle is expecting her first child with Prince Harry. While we can't wait to see the duo becoming a family of three, we can't deny that there's one other thing we're pretty damn excited about. The thing in question? Why, all the maternity ensembles the duchess has already been wearing, of course.
When it comes to regal pregnancy style, Meghan is in good company - after all, no one does it better than her sister-in-law, Kate Middleton. Over her three pregnancies, the Duchess of Cambridge has worn a multitude of great outfits and discovered a few brands that, in the next few months, might come in handy for Meghan when it comes to dressing her growing bump.
So far, the Duchess of Sussex has stuck to her go-to, ever-so-stylish ensembles, turning to brands like Givenchy, Jason Wu, and Misha Nonoo. As we patiently wait to see Meghan develop her maternity style even further, read on to see all the outfits she's worn so far - from the dress that started the baby rumors to what she's been wearing on her first royal tour.
Zoë Kravitz's Engagement Ring Is So Huge, You Could Likely Spot It From Outer Space
Leave it to Zoë Kravitz to confirm her engagement in the most casual, nonchalant way. During a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the 29-year-old star spilled the beans, admitting that her now-fiancé, Karl Glusman, popped the question this past February. The opposite of casual and nonchalant, however? Her enormous engagement ring, which she's somehow been waltzing around with on her left hand for the past eight or so months without raising any suspicious eyebrows.
Zoé's ring appears to feature an oval-shaped center stone with a band that's covered in smaller (yet still pretty darn large) diamonds. The actress notably wore it to the Met Gala this year, along with a supersexy Saint Laurent gown, and she's been pictured with the ring at a few other public events since getting engaged to her soon-to-be hubby. Considering the fact that her sparkler deserves its own zip code, we're pretty surprised it flew under the radar for so long. Keep reading to zoom ALL the way in on the blinding details of her bling.
Mandy Moore on This Is Us Spoilers, Her Fossil Partnership, and What Kind of Bride She'll Be
Mandy Moore is winning. She stole our hearts as Rebecca on This Is Us, her Emmy's red carpet style made the internet's jaws collectively drop, and her newest role, as a brand ambassador for watch brand Fossil, was just announced.
We talked with Mandy about why she's so thrilled to work with Fossil and to get some sneak previews of her This Is Us wardrobe, learn more about the actress's own bridal style, and discover which '90s trends she's not so in love with. Spoiler alert: tiny sunglasses are going to be a no.
POPSUGAR: Why do you feel that Fossil is such a great fit for you as a brand ambassador?
Mandy Moore: I am really excited to be a part of the Fossil family. I remember Fossil growing up; it's a super iconic brand. But what resonated with me the most is the message, especially this season - the idea of celebrating creativity, authenticity, and optimism. They really just let me be my most authentic, creative self when we were on the set. They wanted to hear my story and what makes me tick, no pun intended. They celebrated my interests and my style; it was such a genuinely meaningful connection right off the bat.

PS: Fossil's new mood watch was just released. Do you have any favorite details you love about it?
MM: What I love the most about it is that it's a throwback. I'm a sucker for anything that's '90s, and it makes me happy to see a trend like the mood watch come back. I was actually wearing it this morning at work and we were joking around that you could use it to get in character. We're like, "Let's gauge my mood from the beginning of this process until the end. Let's see if we're able to shift the dynamic a little bit." It was a fun experiment. But I started on green and I ended on green, which is relaxed. So that's a good thing, I think.
PS: Are there any throwback trends you could live without?
MM: I'm not into fanny packs. I'm not into those tiny sunglasses. There's a lot of the '90s trends outside of the mood watch that I'm not going to be participating in. But I applaud people who have the balls to wear bike shorts. Good for them. It's just probably not going to be me.
PS: Congratulations on your engagement to Taylor Goldsmith! What did you think of Rebecca's wedding gown? Is your personal wedding style anything like hers?
MM: I loved her wedding gown. That was a vintage dress that I felt was a nod to a different era, even though it took place in the mid-'70s. I love that about Rebecca. I think it's a little more traditional than I would tend to go for at my wedding. But I don't know. I certainly loved the lace aspect of it. I'm definitely a romantic at heart. So that sort of speaks to me. But I might do something that's a little bit less fussy.

PS: Can you give us any This Is Us spoilers on Rebecca's wardrobe for the upcoming season?
MM: Oh, we're starting an episode. We started it today, actually, and it fits nicely back in the '70s, during the early courting days of Jack and Rebecca. That to me, always signifies the most fun wardrobe and hair and makeup, because she's young and carefree, she's bohemian and is a singer. Rebecca wants to explore that more creative side of herself.
Hala Bahmet, our costume designer, is obsessed with sourcing vintage fabrics and building out really beautiful pieces, like a knit sweater that she patterns off of something from the '40s. In this particular episode, there are a couple of bigger scenes that we've had time to plan for, so she's built two dresses from vintage fabric. It's always the most fun when you have something customized and built for you specifically for a particular scene. It makes you feel that much more special like, "OK, she's put effort into this one."
