Telfar Is Restocking AOC's Coveted Red Bag Tomorrow
It looks like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is also a fan of Telfar's covetable shopping tote, which has been dubbed "the Bushwick Birkin." Telfar Clemens is the brains behind the nongendered brand, which was created in 2004. AOC carried the brand's highly sought after bag, which was introduced in 2014. The oxblood shopping tote prominently features the brand's sleek logo embossed on the side. Sadly, when Alexandria first debuted the $257 bag, it was sold out on Telfar's website, but the brand announced via Instagram that it's restocking the oxblood and yellow color ways in all three sizes tomorrow, including the exact bag the congresswoman carried.
AOC was seen carrying her bag while leaving the Capitol building in Washington DC after voting on a bill on the US Postal Service operations. She even went on to write about the brand on her Instagram, saying, "Fun fact: Telfar is now known as a globally celebrated designer, but did you know this Black, LGBTQ+ designer + founder got their start in LEFRAK CITY, QUEENS. That's right! Telfar Clemons is a HOMETOWN HERO from our district! Another NY-14 native using their talents to challenge us to question convention and imagine a different world. Our community is so proud!"
Read on to see images of AOC carrying the bag from all angles ahead, and get ready to shop your own when they restock on Telfar on Tuesday.

Everything You Need to Know About Emma Corrin, The Crown's Princess Diana
Netflix has released the first teaser for The Crown season four, and with it, our first glimpse at Princess Diana. But who is Emma Corrin, the actress beneath the perfectly-replicated pouffy wedding gown featured in the brief clips? Corrin was announced in 2019 as the first actress to take on the role of the late Princess of Wales. In some ways, it makes sense that a newcomer would be the best choice to play Diana, who went from being someone largely unknown outside of British aristocratic circles to one of the most famous women in the world - and we can't wait to see Corrin's take on the role!
Corrin will only play Diana for season four, set for a November 2020 release; once season five arrives, Elizabeth Debecki will take over the role for the remainder of the princess's life story. Since Corrin is so new to the industry, we haven't gotten to hear much from her yet, but keep reading for a few fun facts that we've learned about her so far.
7 Causes That Were Near and Dear to Princess Diana's Heart
Princess Diana was known for her impeccable sense of style and flawless beauty, but she is best remembered for her heart of gold. Diana spoke out on a wide range of issues close to her heart - including HIV/AIDS, leprosy, and cancer - and used her global influence to raise awareness as well as funds. She regularly visited hospitals, schools, and fundraising galas and even took trips to Angola, India, and Pakistan, touching the lives of many wherever she went. While Diana is no longer around, her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, have carried on her legacy by championing some of the same charities and causes as their mother and carrying on her traditions in their personal lives.

DaBaby Brought Current Events to Life With His Powerful Medley During the MTV VMAs
It was the Charlotte rapper's first-ever performance for the VMAs and a stellar night for it; DaBaby is up for four awards this year including artist of the year and best hip-hop video and best choreography for his music video for "Bop." With the Jabbawockeez at his side, DaBaby performed a medley of hits "PEEPHOLE," "Blind," and "Rockstar." His performance was a nod to the recent police brutality protests, having DaBaby riding cuffed in the back of a cop car before ending the performance against a backdrop of fire. Beyond this, it also referenced the COVID-19 pandemic, as the boxes during "PEEPHOLE" were full of face masks. You can watch the story unfold for yourself with his full performance above.
Confused About If the MTV VMAs Are Live This Year? Here's the Situation
The 2020 MTV VMAs are technically airing "live" on Sunday night, but in reality, they're not actually live this year. Due to the restrictions from the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the usually huge, live ceremony and night-of performances couldn't happen as they usually do, and reportedly, MTV's solution was to put together a broadcast assembled from prefilmed footage - including the award announcements themselves.
The majority of the show was filmed ahead of time in New York City. Anyone traveling into New York to film performances or other content had to quarantine for three to four days before their scheduled filming time slot, and all crew on the set were also frequently tested for the virus in order to comply with CDC recommendations. For artists who didn't want to fly into New York or were unable to, MTV helped them film from Los Angeles using green screens to make it appear they were blending into the New York sets.
"Performers in Los Angeles were all shot in-studio on a green screen. Miley Cyrus, Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, Doja Cat all shot theirs on a screen to make it look like they were in New York but they never came here," a source told Page Six.
It's reportedly not just the performances that were filmed ahead of time. All the things we'd think of as being "live" for a normal award show, like "red carpet" interviews, were also prefilmed and packaged in advance. Even the awards themselves (and the acceptance speeches!) were prefilmed during these carefully choreographed and quarantined production bubbles. It makes sense, especially for a production-heavy show like the VMAs, that any sort of live show would simply not be feasible with the social distancing still recommended for safety during the pandemic. Instead of live numbers from living rooms and home studios, MTV opted to find the safest way possible to still bring major production values, and sacrificing a few live performances seems like an OK price to pay!
Miley Cyrus Goes Full Wrecking Ball For Her VMAs Performance of "Midnight Sky"
Miley Cyrus returned to the MTV VMAs stage as she performed "Midnight Sky" live for the first time on Sunday night. Wearing a sexy black dress, the 27-year-old singer strutted her stuff as she crooned the lyrics about letting go of past loves. Of course, one of the best moments of the performance was when she ripped off the skirt of her dress and swung on a disco ball. Anyone else getting "Wrecking Ball flashbacks? The new track, which dropped on Aug. 13, seems to chronicle her most publicized romances over the past year, as she makes references to exes Liam Hemsworth, Kaitlynn Carter, and Cody Simpson. Seeing that she performed her emotional breakup song "Slide Away" during the show last year, her latest performance about embracing the single life really brings things full-circle. Watch her incredible performance above.
In Case It Rains on Her, Lady Gaga's Intergalactic Outfit at the VMAs Has Her Covered
Lady Gaga is ready to make it rain at the 2020 MTV VMAs. The singer, who is performing her hit single "Rain on Me" with Ariana Grande for the first time ever, pulled out all the stops for the virtual award show's red carpet. Gaga wore a dramatic metallic dress paired with superhigh platformed lace-up boots and a headpiece that's perfect for someone nominated for nine awards. The singer is nominated for video of the year, artist of the year, song of the year, best collaboration, best pop, best quarantine performance, best cinematography, best visual effects, and best choreography.
Gaga is no stranger to going all out for the award show – I mean, I still think about her meat-covered ensemble at the 2010 VMAs regularly - and her metallic outfit during Sunday night's show is definitely one to remember. "I was wearing face shields before it was a thing 👆🤣 #VMAs," she wrote on Instagram. Check out Lady Gaga's outfit at the 2020 MTV VMAs ahead.
Miley Cyrus Is the Epitome of '80s Glam at the MTV VMAs
The mullet haircut has been staging a comeback this year, but tonight may be the first time that we've seen the throwback style hit a red carpet all year thanks to Miley Cyrus and her appearance at the 2020 Video Music Awards. The singer has been wearing the haircut for a few months now, but somehow when she showed up to the show's virtual red carpet on Sunday night, her hair looked even more mullet-y than before.
Cyrus's style for the event mimicked the '80s glam that seemed to inspire her latest music video for "Midnight Sky." She wore a strapless, mesh maxi dress with jewel accents and matching elbow-length gloves that she paired with bright red lipstick and black eye makeup. Read ahead to see more photos of Cyrus on the red carpet.
Joey King Is Serving Up Realness on the VMAs Red Carpet: "I Don't Really Look Like This"
Joey King gave us a peek at her 2020 MTV VMAs outfit ahead of Sunday night's show, but we still weren't fully prepared for just how good she looks. That dress! Those nails! That makeup!
The Kissing Booth star hit the red carpet dressed in a full Versace ensemble, complete with thick gold chains and gold hair clips. Her soft glam makeup look was done by celebrity makeup artist Allan Avendaño, while her extra-long hair was styled by Dimitri Giannetos.
When Travis Mills asked King what went into picking her outfit, she gave the most amazingly candid answer. "Uh, I'm wearing Versace. My first time wearing Versace. What's up? And what all went into it is I'm wearing a lot of Spanx, I've got some fake makeup on my legs so that they look shiny, and yeah, I have extensions in my hair. So you know, I don't really look like this." We love the realness.

From Gray Hair to Red Nails - Get a Look At the Best Beauty Looks From the MTV VMAs So Far
Candidly, we didn't really know what to expect going into the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards. Aside from the usual questions - like who will win artist of the year? Who is performing? What over-the-top beauty looks will this year's guests pull out? - we were all curious to see how the COVID-19 pandemic would change this year's event.
We've seen so many show-stopping, amazing beauty looks at the annual VMAs over the years. Miley Cyrus alone has had more jaw-dropping looks than we can count, and of course, it's hard to top the moment Lady Gaga emerged onto the red carpet in 2010 in a meat dress. Good times.
Now that the big night is here, we're happy to report that stars like Keke Palmer, Joey King, and Bebe Rexha did not let this year's unique situation stifle their creativity . . . like at all. Ahead, we rounded up a few of the best beauty moments from the 2020 VMAs.
Lady Gaga Brought Major Moon Person Energy to the VMAs, and We Need Space to Take It In
Dress for the award you want - that's how the saying goes, right? Well, Lady Gaga must've gotten the message because she showed up to the MTV VMAs channeling full Moon Person energy, and we're here for it. The "Rain on Me" singer is nominated for nine awards and is set to perform her hit single with Ariana Grande later in the Aug. 30 show, which is sure to be a must-watch.
We never know what we're going to get when Gaga takes the VMAs stage, but it's guaranteed to be entertaining! Fingers crossed she takes home a trophy tonight to match her look.
The Weeknd Takes the MTV VMAs to New Heights With His "Blinding Lights" Performance
As expected, The Weeknd did not disappoint when he opened Sunday's MTV VMAs. Clad in his now-signature red-and-black suit, a bloodied and bruised The Weeknd performed his hit "Blinding Lights" from over 1,000 feet above Manhattan on the observation deck of Edge at Hudson Yards.
The song is about drunk driving, and in a recent interview with Esquire, The Weeknd explained, "'Blinding Lights' [is about] how you want to see someone at night, and you're intoxicated, and you're driving to this person and you're just blinded by streetlights, but nothing could stop you from trying to go see that person, because you're so lonely. I don't want to ever promote drunk driving, but that's what the dark undertone is."
It's a big night for The Weeknd, who scored six nominations at this year's ceremony, including artist of the year and best R&B for "Blinding Lights." It also marked his second time performing at the show following his fiery debut in 2015.
Joey King Is Serving Up Realness on the VMAs Red Carpet: "I Don't Really Look Like This"

Riddle Me Impressed With How Fast DC Fans Solved the Riddle in the Trailer For The Batman
Fans of a good brain teaser will know that The Riddler is basically a walking puzzle factory, and his latest riddle in the trailer for The Batman already has fans in full-on detective mode. In the trailer, a card packaged in a green envelope arrives addressed to "The Batman." Inside, the card poses a handwritten question: "What does a liar do when he's dead?" Followed by a set of unfamiliar symbols that seem to be hiding some kind of message, the card continues, "Haven't a clue? Let's play a game, just me and you . . ."
In a feat that would make both Commissioner Gordon and Alfred proud, DC fans have already solved the puzzling riddle using some impressive word-to-letter correlations, and the breakdown is just as mind-boggling as the original clue. In a Twitter thread, game designer Mike Selinker explained exactly how he solved the puzzle. Keep reading for the final solution and to see exactly how the cryptic symbols translate to an ominous message that has us hoping emo Robert Pattinson Batman can solve this riddle for himself in record time.
Miley Cyrus Is Serving at the MTV VMAs, and We Can't Help but Bow Down

Miley Cyrus Wore a Sexy, Sheer Gown With Underwear to the 2020 MTV VMAs
Let's give Miley Cyrus a round of applause because she definitely *brought it* at the 2020 MTV VMAs. The singer, who is performing "Midnight Sky," stunned in a sparkly black Mugler dress that was completely sheer. (No shocker there since she's the queen of daring MTV VMAs red carpet looks.) She paired the see-through dress with matching black underwear, and the strapless number was covered with tiny silver mirrored embellishments that reflected with the camera flashes.
Miley's dress came with a pair of matching sheer gloves that featured black studs in place of the silver embellishments. As for her accessories, she styled the see-through dress with big gold hoops and a chain choker necklace. She slipped into a pair of black strappy heels to finish off her look. Keep reading to see her outfit ahead.

I Love Netflix's Selling Sunset, but Million Dollar Beach House Just Isn't My Jam
I'll admit, when I finished binge-watching season three of Selling Sunset, I was a little disappointed. Not because of how the show ended (trust me, that was probably the best season yet) but because now I had nothing else to watch and I'd probably spend yet another weekend scrolling through Netflix trying to figure out what to stream to no avail (yep, been there way too many times). How else was I going to get my fix of drooling over stunning luxury properties that I could never possibly afford, while trying to keep up with all the drama between The Oppenheim Group? You see my dilemma?
Enter Million Dollar Beach House. When Netflix announced their list of new shows hitting the platform in August, I was immediately intrigued by the series. Similar to Selling Sunset, Million Dollar Beach House follows the exclusive group of real estate agents of Nest Seekers who cater to high-end clients looking to purchase luxury homes in the Hamptons on Long Island, NY. Sounds promising, right? Well, turns out, Million Dollar Beach House doesn't quite measure up to Selling Sunset.
For starters, the cast just isn't that exciting, plain and simple. Michael is a model-turned-real-estate-agent who is juggling the stress of being a realtor along with becoming a dad. He is the epitome of that self-entitled high school jock and clearly has it out for Noel from the very beginning - that alone just makes it hard to watch. Speaking of Noel, he is a new addition to Nest Seekers and is simply trying to further his career. However, his team perceives him as pompous and rude. Given that he's the only BIPOC character, it's borderline irresponsible of Netflix to paint him out as the villain without exploring the dynamics of what it may be like for him as a Black man selling luxury real estate to a predominately white clientele.
Then there is JB who recently made the switch from working in the financial industry to real estate and spends most of the season trying to prove to Jimmy that he can take on his own listings. Jimmy is the lead at Nest Seekers and basically has his hand in all the luxury properties. We don't really know too much about him, but he does seem nice - just not interesting enough for reality TV. And to round out the team, there's Peggy, a broker veteran who transferred to Nest Seekers after working in New York City. Like Michael, she too doesn't get along with Noel, but things really escalate as the season goes on.
The series only really shows the cast hanging out at the office and showing listings to clients, so we don't really know much about their personal lives other than what they choose to share, which honestly made it pretty boring for me and left me wanting more. Instead, I would have preferred to know about their personal relationships, what they do outside of work, and if they're actually all friends because it seems like JB and Michael are the only ones with a real friendship. Is there any family drama? What's the deal with Noel's twin brother, Joel? Tell me more.
Now, I'm aware that not everyone gets along on Selling Sunset, but there are some true friendships there. Mary and Amanza have known each other for years, and Mary is also close with Chrishell and Heather. While we do get glimpses of the women showing properties, they've also opened up their personal lives to viewers. We saw both Mary and Christine tie the knot, Amanza shared her custody battle, and Chrishell's divorce was front and center in the latest season. And I know that couldn't have been easy.
Which leads me to my next point: where was all the drama? Everybody knows that a good reality TV show has to have it, but it seemed to fall short here. The whole thing with Michael coming for Noel gets old real quick, so I don't feel like it was worth dragging it on. That's pretty much all the show has to offer in terms of drama. Yep, that's it. Maybe for season two (if there is one, anyway), Million Dollar Beach House can take a page out of Selling Sunset's playbook and throw some drinking, name-calling, and backstabbing into the mix - just a thought.

But then again maybe Million Dollar Beach House isn't meant to be that kind of reality show and it's more about showcasing all the beach houses, which are gorgeous by the way. Did I find them as appealing as the ones on Selling Sunset? No, but the Amagansett house did come pretty close, and it still stung a little when I realized I'll probably never own a beach house as I sat in my 625-square-foot apartment. I'm OK, I promise.
Anyway, if you're into real estate reality TV shows, it's worth giving Million Dollar Beach House a watch - just don't go into it expecting it to be like Selling Sunset.

The Weeknd Takes the MTV VMAs to New Heights With His "Blinding Lights" Performance
As expected, The Weeknd did not disappoint when he opened Sunday's MTV VMAs. Clad in his now-signature red and black suit, a bloodied and bruised The Weeknd performed his hit "Blinding Lights" from over 1,000 feet above Manhattan on the observation deck from Edge at Hudson Yards.
The song is about drunk driving, and in a recent interview with Esquire, The Weeknd explained, "'Blinding Lights' [is about] how you want to see someone at night, and you're intoxicated, and you're driving to this person and you're just blinded by streetlights, but nothing could stop you from trying to go see that person, because you're so lonely. I don't want to ever promote drunk driving, but that's what the dark undertone is."
It's a big night for The Weeknd, who scored six nominations at this year's ceremony, including artist of the year and best R&B for "Blinding Lights." It also marked his second time performing at the show following his fiery debut in 2015.
