Amal Clooney Signed Off on This Nail Polish Named After Her
There are a lot of reasons to admire Amal Clooney. She's a New York University Law educated barrister who specializes in international law and human rights, has worked alongside Supreme Court justice Sonia Sotomayor, and has a stellar sense of style. It turns out her manicurist Gina Alcedo agrees, and just named a nail polish after her - of which the lawyer personally approved. The color, NVLA Nail Polish in Amal-ified ($18), is a red-orange hue in the brand's Hollywood Collection.
"Amal is such an inspiration," Alcedo said. "I'm so grateful to know her and work with her. So, when I was developing my Hollywood Collection, I knew I had to include a color in her honor. She is always on-the-go and inspires women and people worldwide through her work and philanthropy."
Like the rest of the line, the formula is vegan, cruelty-free, paraben-free, and 8-free. "Some of the looks we used as inspiration for the color were a red dress suit Amal wore to the United Nations last year and a Proenza Schouler dress she wore in New York," she said. "Once I felt we nailed it [the color], I showed it Amal and she personally approved it."
The brand tells us that NVLA's Rockingham Red ($14) is one of Clooney's favorites. Ahead, check out the new nail polish and a few of her outfits that inspired the color.

This Couple's Vineyard Wedding Just Looks Like an Elegant Big Day, Until You See the Stormtroopers!
When Christine and Brian wed, they wanted a fun and lighthearted day for their guests, and what better way to do so than with a Star Wars-themed wedding? To make things even better, the wedding took place on May 4 - that's right, Star Wars day! The franchise had a big impact on their life because they initially bonded over the movie. Additionally, Christine grew up watching the movies with her father. Sadly, he passed away in 2017, so the Star Wars theme had a greater sentimental meaning to the couple. "His favorite band was Pearl Jam and his favorite song was 'Just Breathe'," said Christine. "Since he couldn't be there to dance with me I had a dance with my mom to this song and within a minute we invited every guest to dance with us in honor of my dad."
There were some other cute moments during the day. Christine absolutely loved the first-look photos because Brian understandably got very emotional when he saw his bride for the first time in her wedding gown. Additionally, the wedding was officiated by Christine's cousin, who personalized the vows with many Star Wars references. All of this accumulated to a lovely and joyful wedding. You can practically feel the emotions in the photos, so keep scrolling to see them!
Ever Wondered Why College Gymnasts Rarely Compete on the World Stage? Let Us Explain
There's a lot of talent in college gymnastics, but as in many other sports, there are strict rules that prevent these skilled athletes from going pro. It's simple, though frustrating: amateur athletes can't receive payment for any sports-related endeavors (aside from scholarships), and pro gymnasts can never compete in college even once they've retired.
Of course, deciding whether to sign with an agent is particularly difficult for female gymnasts, whose careers tend to peak in their teens. Instead of having the opportunity to accept a scholarship, compete in college, and then go pro, most elite gymnasts have to make a decision while they're still in high school: sign a contract and aim for endorsements and the national team, or head for the rewarding but less high-profile world of college gymnastics.
The moment an athlete decides to go pro, they can begin making money off of their career. Simone Biles, for instance, has had endorsement deals with several companies, such as Nike, Hershey's, and Kellogg's. But she also became a household name following her gold medal run at the 2016 Olympic Games. It's a gamble for many other gymnasts, who may never break through enough to offset the costs of training and the missed opportunity to get an education on an athletic scholarship.
Some gymnasts are able to get the best of both worlds by competing nationally without taking any offers of representation or endorsement. For example, Kyla Ross and Madison Kocian both earned Olympic gold medals as members of Team USA, but because neither signed a professional deal, they were eligible to then compete for UCLA Gymnastics. Similarly, fellow collegiate gymnast MyKayla Skinner has decided to defer her senior year at the University of Utah to vie for a spot on the 2020 Olympic team. Wherever these talented athletes compete, we're just grateful we get to watch.

Lady and the Tramp's Classic Love Story Comes to Life in the First Live-Action Trailer
Disney's 2019 D23 Expo is spoiling us! Not only did the company drop a first look at the remake of Lady and the Tramp, but it also released the film's first trailer. It's a terribly romantic video that highlights the film's biggest stars, real-life shelter pups Rose and Monte, who play Lady and Tramp, respectively. It also gives us a first listen to the vocal talents of Tessa Thompson and Justin Theroux, who are voicing the two adorable pups who find love in a hopeless place (aka somewhere in the Midwest).
In addition to Thompson and Theroux, the star-studded cast includes Janelle Monáe as singing pound pup Peg and Thomas Mann and Kiersey Clemons as Lady's married owners. Check out the trailer above, and look out for Lady and the Tramp when it drops exclusively for streaming on Disney+ on Nov. 12.
What's a Chemical Exfoliant? A Dermatologist Breaks It Down
Walk into any Sephora, Ulta, or department or drugstore and you're likely to see hoards of bottles that list a chemical exfoliant as an active ingredient in their formula. Words like alpha hydroxy acid, lactic acid, and glycolic acid can sound intimidating if you're unfamiliar, but here's why you shouldn't be.
To help you decide whether to work them into your routine, we consulted board-certified dermatologist Dhaval Bhanusali, MD, to explain and demystify the common ingredients. Ahead, he breaks down everything you need to know about chemical exfoliators - including what they are and how they can transform your skin.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Just Gave the Modern French Manicure a Cool New Twist
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley just posted a photo of a version of the french manicure you've probably never tried before. The model's latest Instagram post is a shot of her jewelry-adorned hand with what she called "The Reverse Frenchie" in her caption. The manicure combines the same colors you'd normally get with a traditional french manicure, but instead of having the white shade at her tips, it runs across the edges of her cuticles.
The french manicure - which was most popular in the early '00s - is being thrust back into the limelight now as one of this year's biggest nail trends, as celebrities like Khloé Kardashian, Hailey Baldwin, and Kylie Jenner have all been seen with it. Many of them are putting their 2019 spin on the look, combining it with trends that are popular today (like neon hues and negative space). Check out Huntington-Whiteley and other A-listers' modern takes on the french manicure ahead.

Gabrielle Union Caught Baby Kaavia Saying Her First Words on Video, So "Get Ready World!"
She speaks! Apart from being fashionable, constantly photo-ready, and a great swimmer, Gabrielle Union's daughter Kaavia James can also talk. The 9-month-old baby said her first words in a video Gabrielle shared to Instagram on Tuesday. "Kaavia James speaks!!!! Get ready world. Next stop, #agt judges table! Bye bye," Gabrielle captioned the sweet video of Kaavia sitting in her high chair and babbling.
Despite what sounds like pots and pans banging around in the background, the baby makes her little voice heard in Gabrielle's video. She not only says a clear "bye-bye," but she also gives us a pretty great "yeah," which counts as two phrases in my book. From the looks of it, Kaavia has also grown two front teeth already, so we can't wait to see what her next milestone will be. Something tells me she'll be an America's Got Talent judge before we know it!

Welp, Even Scott Patterson Wanted More From Luke and Lorelai's Wedding on Gilmore Girls
If Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life makes its way back to Netflix for a second season, Scott Patterson has only one special request for the new set of episodes: a wedding for Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and his character, Luke. The actor recently caught up with Us Weekly and spoke about why he thinks fans of the series deserve to see a big celebration taking place for the couple.
"Well, I'll tell you one thing, [there] better be a big, fat wedding," he said. "I think that's what we should give [fans] . . . I think now it's time to give them, after 20 years, what they want." After building up their romance throughout Gilmore Girls' entire seven-season run, Lorelai and Luke finally got married on the show's 2016 revival. The wedding, though, turned out to be a bit lackluster for some fans, as the couple ended up eloping in lieu of having a big celebration. Considering the amount of screen time their relationship got - with its many highs and lows - Patterson believes a memorable event is what fans deserve to see.
When asked about what Luke and Lorelai's wedding would ideally look like, the 60-year-old actor mentioned that it'd likely be "filled with drama, filled with laughs, filled with, you know, Miss Patty [forgetting] the dancers and then they [would have] to replace them with little children or dogs." He continued, "Something very cute and goes right to the heart. A community pulling together to make it all happen."
But of course, in order for that "big, fat" wedding to take place, Netflix would have to order more episodes of the reboot - and that hasn't happened yet. "If everybody can make the right deal, then it'll happen," Patterson said. "If everybody's available, then, you know, it could, it could happen . . . there's always hope."
Princess Diana's Most Captivating Moments With Kids
Princess Diana shared numerous sweet moments with her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, before her death in August 1997, but she had just as many heartwarming encounters with kids during her royal appearances across the globe. As part of her extensive charity work, the royal, who was a kindergarten teacher before marrying Prince Charles, had no qualms cuddling up to young children as she visited hospitals, schools, and orphanages. She would even get down on their level as they offered her gifts or flowers, much like her daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, does when she interacts with her smallest fans. Not only have William and Harry carried on Diana's legacy for helping others, but they also share her love for children.
Looking Back at Lady Gaga's Legendary Blood-Soaked VMAs Performance, 10 Years Later
Exactly ten years ago, Lady Gaga delivered one of the most memorable MTV Video Music Award performances of all time. The pop star was just 23, and had previously released her debut album, The Fame, which spawned runaway hits like "Just Dance" and "Poker Face." The public was already intrigued by her catchy, unusual music and even more unusual style, but the performance - her first ever at a major award show- would offer a chance to prove her (now indisputable) talent within a live setting.
Her big moment was also preceded by five famous words: "I'mma let you finish, but . . ."
It's true: the 2009 VMAs stage saw both Gaga declaring herself as one of the boldest auteurs of her time as well as the inception of Kanye West and Taylor Swift's high-profile feud, which - despite momentary truces - still rages on. And though Kanye's unexpected interruption undoubtedly became the headline for the award show, Gaga's performance still stood out as a testament to her showmanship.
Suddenly. . . blood appeared, and it became apparent that this would not be a conventional performance.
How'd she manage that? With a lot of choreography, white lace, and fake blood, that's how. The performance began with Gaga laying down, singing "Poker Face" in a setting that's not not reminiscent of The Phantom of the Opera. The music transitioned into "Paparazzi" as Gaga awakened to join her backup dancers. Her famous monster claw made an early appearance. Then suddenly, among the crystals on the right side of her chest, blood appeared, and it became apparent that this would not be a conventional performance.
The energy onstage gradually became more frantic. A walking stick was thrust into Gaga's hand as she charged toward the front of the stage. The camera panned to Sean "Diddy" Combs who looked amazed, stunned, and perhaps not entirely sure how to feel about what he was witnessing. After a brief piano solo, more blood started pouring down Gaga's body. The audience cheered as Gaga, nearly in tears, sang, "I'm your biggest fan / I'll follow you until you love me." Gaga was carried off and then reappeared floating above her dancers in a harness. She dropped the microphone and stared into the distance to the sound of camera shutters. In the context of the performance, viewers just witnessed her death. In real life, it was the birth of an icon.
Gaga went on to win the award for best new artist that night, while the "Paparazzi" video also earned her awards for best special effects and best art direction. In a strange twist, Gaga was scheduled to co-headline a tour with Kanye just two months later in November. The Fame Kills tour was subsequently canceled because Kanye decided to step away from the public eye, and Gaga instead embarked on her own Monster Ball Tour.
The three aforementioned stars still orbit each other and the award show, for that matter: Taylor is opening this year's VMAs with a song off her new album Lover. But what happened at the VMAs a decade ago is still something to pause at because Gaga's breakout moment - a grotesque exhibition that forced the public to grapple with its obsession with celebrity - was overshadowed by one celebrity interrupting another celebrity's acceptance speech. (There was of course more to it than that, but, you get it.)
Gaga performed at the VMAs again in 2011 and then in 2013, but truthfully, neither performance came close to her electrifying debut. It was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of performance, one that offered insight into what was to come. It practically goes without saying, but her career has since skyrocketed. She's experimented with genre, performed at the Super Bowl, and even won an Oscar. Who could have foreseen all that? Some who witnessed the performance in real time might have.
