23 Celebrity Costumes You Can Actually Copy
Elaborate Halloween costumes à la Heidi Klum can be fun, but they require a whole lot of effort to actually pull off. Sometimes (like when it's Oct. 30 and you have nothing planned!) going with a look that can be put together with items already hanging in your closet or parts that are easy to find at a thrift shop makes more sense. Celebrities themselves have often taken the easier approach, and we've rounded up their simple dress-up ideas to serve as your inspiration!
Runway Shows Are Also Concerts - and 9 More Fashion Week Moments You Can't Miss
It can be damn hard to keep up with everything that's going on at Fashion Week. Our feeds are filled with twice the snaps, and every look, every street style accessory, every front-row sighting seems exciting. This season, we're taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture. What moments from NYFW truly mattered? What shows, controversies, and industry shifts will we remember not only through London, Milan, and Paris, but far into the future? Read on for all the happenings that really got us talking. And remember, if you lose your way in all the style madness this week, the major takeaways live right here.
The Easy Way to Block Contacts From Sending Messages or Calls
Whether it's a salesperson, frenemy, or someone you just need a digital break from for a bit, Apple lets you limit the communication received from the outside world. If you have people or unknown, annoying numbers that you'd prefer not to see messages or receive phone and Facetime calls from, follow the instructions below.
Add a Contact to the Blocked List
Block someone from calling or texting you one of two ways:
- To block someone who has been added to your phone's Contacts, go to Settings > Phone > Call Blocking and Identification > Block Contact. The All Contacts window will appear where you can scroll through names to then tap the name of the contact you'd like to block. You'll be taken back to the Blocked window with the name added to the list of blocked contacts.
From Settings, contacts can also be blocked selecting either Messages or Facetime, and then following the above instructions.
- In instances where you want to a block a number that isn't stored as a contact in your phone, go to the Phone app > Recents. Look for the number (or name) you'd like to block and tap the blue "i" with a circle around it to the right of the number. Scroll down to the bottom of the contact card that appears and select "Block This Caller." The message "You will not receive phone calls, messages, or FaceTime from people on the block list" will appear with two options: Block Contact or Cancel. Hit Block Contact to add the number to the big, bad blocked list.
Block from Messages by selecting the message thread with the contact and tapping the blue "i" in the upper right corner. Tap on their number and then proceed with the same instructions as in the Recents tab in Phone.
Unblock a Contact
Decide an acquaintance served their time on the blocked list and want to digitally revive them? Like adding someone to the blocked list, they can be removed two ways:
- In Settings go to Phone > Call Blocking and Identification, where a list of blocked contacts and numbers will appear. Tap Edit in the top right hand corner. Then, tap the red delete button to the left of the name, which will cause a red unblock button appear. Select it, and the contact is restored to unblocked bucket, with all rights, privileges and honors appertaining thereto.
From Settings, contacts can be removed from a blocked list by selecting either Messages or Facetime, and then following the above instructions.
- Find the contacts' name or the number you'd like to unblock in the Recents tab of the Phone app. Select the blue icon to the right of their name, then scroll down and tap "Unblock This Caller."
Unblock the contact via Messages by selecting the message thread with the contact, and tapping the little blue "i" in the upper right corner. Select the information icon, and proceed with the same instructions as in the Recents tab in Phone.
Will The Contact Know They're Blocked?
Short answer: no. But a perceptive friend might notice that they can never get a hold of you. When someone in your blocked list calls, they'll be immediately sent to voicemail. Any message left in voicemail will be put in a separate folder called "Blocked Messages," to which you can listen.
If the contact tries to send you a text or iMessage, from their end, it will look like the message was sent, though you - thanks to your craftiness - will not actually have to see the message.
Take note, blocking contacts goes one way, meaning you can still call, text, or FaceTime the numbers you've listed in Blocked. So if the blocking is also to limit yourself from communication with a certain person, better go ahead and delete their number completely from your phone.
Should you continue to get unwanted phone calls from spammers or marketing companies, consider adding your number to the National Do Not Call Registry.
American Horror Story: Watch All 26 Terrifying Season 6 Teasers
Dozens of teasers have been released for American Horror Story season six (premiering Wednesday night!) in the last two months, and we couldn't help but notice that they didn't feel, well, related in the slightest - turns out that's because they're not. In August, FX Networks CEO John Landgraf revealed that the show's marketing team "went out and created many more trailers than you've actually seen for hypothetical seasons of American Horror Story, in different genres, different places. One of them is accurate, and the others are all misdirects." Wow. "There is a theme and a setting and a place and time, but we're not going to reveal it because we think it will be fun for the audience to have the surprise this year." So we were right all along about the network purposely not releasing information!
For now, we can only speculate about the return of the Antichrist and a sinister cult. We'll have our answer soon enough.
These Runway Shoes Look So Comfortable, Our Feet Can Hardly Wait For Spring
Shoes may not be the first thing you notice when you're watching a runway show. But when you're scanning a full look, they can hardly be ignored. Keeping the industry's obsession with sneakers in mind, we paid close attention to the footwear at Fashion Week. It was tough to miss the sock boots at DKNY or the fringed moccasins that added an element of surprise to Alexander Wang's lineup. Despite the wide variety of trends here - there are slides, laced jazz shoes, functional sneakers, and more - your feet can rest easy. Next season looks effortless and heel-less if you want it to be.
Real Women Share How They Lost 25 to 100 Pounds - Without Calorie Counting
Is calorie counting a thing of the past? For some women, the answer is "hell yeah!," and I'm in major support of this movement. Throughout my whole life, I've noticed how calorie counting has had this uncanny ability to create an incredibly unhealthy relationship between a woman and her food - starting as early as 5 years old.
I recently reflected on how much my mother shaped my body image and relationship with food, and afterward she reminded me of a story from my time in kindergarten. I had come home from school crying; a little girl at my lunch table had told me chocolate milk would make me fat because it had too many calories. My sweet mom sat me down, had me look at a nutrition label on some chocolate milk, and told me that my growing brain and body needed those calories and that they were healthy and good. To this day, I freakin' love chocolate milk (thanks, Mom). Also, when I read labels, I look for things like protein content, fat, and sugar to evaluate if it's something I want to be eating.
"Food is food and it can be used for fuel or pleasure, but it doesn't define my character."
While counting calories can certainly have its place, for many women, the sheer idea of it has also vilified different foods in our minds. I spoke with a woman named Brooke, who lost over 100 pounds - without calorie counting - and she summed it up quite well: "For so long I viewed food as a moral issue, like certain foods were 'good' or 'bad' and if I ate them I was 'good' or 'bad' . . . But that's warped. Food is food and it can be used for fuel or pleasure, but it doesn't define my character."
Yet if we can't quantify our food to lose weight, what can we do? As it turns out, several things. Six women I've spoken to in the past few months have given insight as to how they lost weight, ranging from 25 pounds to 100-plus, all by making sustainable changes to their diet that have nothing to do with calorie counting.
The 80/20 Approach
Kara Hamill told us that calorie counting was never her key to success - and she lost 30 pounds in 4 months. "There is way too much stress involved with counting calories!" she told POPSUGAR. "I used to do it but quickly realized it was all I would think about all day. I eat clean Monday through Friday and dabble with some comfort food on the weekends."
This mindset and diet concept is called the 80/20 rule. There's no rigidity, no counting, just making better choices, most of the time. This can mean whatever you want it to mean. Are four of your five daily meals super clean, and the fifth is a cheeseburger or a dessert? Awesome. Are six days a week clean eating days, and on the seventh you eat what you want? Great!
The key is balance. If you're focusing on healthier choices for most of the week or day, the rest falls into place, and you never feel restricted, starved, or like you're missing out on certain foods. There's also ZERO counting involved.
Kara's refrigerator staples are things like spring mix organic lettuce, baby spinach, hummus, Greek yogurt, chicken breast, coconut water, and kombucha - all very healthy foods! But she loves "good food and wine," and saves those for date nights with her husband. Sounds like a good life!
Flexible Dieting: IIFYM
Carrie McMahon was one of the first women who introduced me to the concept of counting macronutrients, or "macros." And since then, I've noticed that tons and tons of women are following this same diet concept, which focuses on the quality of calories versus the quantity: how many fats, proteins, and carbohydrates are you eating?
Counting macros is often referred to as flexible dieting, as it doesn't eliminate any food groups, yet helps you quantify your good choices and your "fun" choices, as trainer Brittany Dawn would put it. Brittany lost 50 pounds with this concept; you check the food to see "if it fits your macros," (IIFYM, as it's called in the fitness world) and go from there.
Brittany attributes her flexible diet to what helped her overcome anorexia athletica. "It's something I think many women deal with but are scared to admit," she said. "Flexible dieting was really the light at the end of the tunnel for me. It allowed me to incorporate foods that I enjoy eating without ever feeling restricted. Today, I'm binge-eating-free . . . almost two years . . . and I love the freedom of the dieting approach I take."
As mentioned, she refers to her treat foods as "fun foods," which is a really healthy and positive approach (much nicer than "cheat meal"). "I now incorporate healthy foods but fun foods, too . . . in moderation. It's all about balance."
"It wasn't until I quit the calorie counting that I finally gained a healthy relationship with food, my body, and my life."
Carrie had a similar binge-eating experience with restricting her calories. "I restricted my intake, counted calories . . . didn't allow myself to eat bread, pastries, cheese, chocolate, and all of the 'good stuff' except on my 'cheat day,' which was once a week," she said in her e-book, Why You Should Count Macros, Not Calories. "Well, my cheat days would almost always turn into an 'eat everything in sight' kind of day. This restrict/binge cycle led to guilt, and that guilt that completely took over my life and buried me in a dark hole. It wasn't until I quit the calorie counting lifestyle and picked up a flexible based diet through macronutrient tracking that I finally gained a healthy relationship with food, my body, and my life."
Mindful Eating and Meal Prep
Brooke told us that a key to her over-100-pound loss was a combination of mindful eating and meal prep. "Being obese, the priority was changing my eating habits and beliefs about food," she said. By partaking in mindful eating, Brooke was able to slow herself down and control portions.
So how does mindful eating work? It's essentially just more conscious eating. You think before, during, and after you eat, and you eat more slowly to ensure you feel satiated at the right time (i.e., before inhaling your food like a vacuum while thinking about other things). The opposite of mindful eating is mindless eating, like eating at your desk, while you're driving, while you're walking, or while you're watching TV. Sound familiar? It's a surefire way to pack in extra unwanted calories. You don't have to count, you just have to slow down.
In the same vein, Brooke took her mindfulness and put it into her preparation for the week. "Preparing meals at home is one of the most effective ways to manage weight, but it has to be easy and enjoyable or it won't happen consistently." Make sure you're mixing things up when you're meal prepping to avoid getting bored with your food, and consider your healthier choices.
Focus on the Positive: Find Healthy Foods You Love
Every single woman I spoke to referred to this concept as the main idea that helped them lose weight. Starting with Brooke, her first "small step" to major weight loss was "adding a green vegetable to every meal." By finding these foods that she loved, she was replacing poorer food choices with healthier ones, without even thinking about what she was "cutting out."
Caitlin lost 25 pounds this way. When we asked her how many calories she eats per day, she had no idea. "I try not to count and to feed myself what feels good and not obsess over numbers," she said. What feels good to Caitlin? "tons of veggies, a smoothie bowl, protein pancakes, fruit, eggs, and maybe a little quinoa." Her daily diet is incredibly balanced, and she'll still have "a cookie or some fruit as dessert."
"I try not to count, to feed myself what feels good, and not obsess over numbers."
Focusing on the healthy choices you do love is far less paralyzing, and opens you up to a world of choices. By honing in on better foods that you enjoy eating, you'll thing so much less about what you "can't" or "shouldn't" eat. This positive approach to weight loss makes it much more sustainable.
Kat, who lost 40 pounds, had the same feelings. "I've never really tracked calories; it is definitely helpful for some people, but in my opinion it's all about making good choices," she said. "It's all about knowing what is good or bad for your body, being aware of what you're consuming, and as long as it's healthy calories, the weight will come off." Her favorite healthy foods are vegetables and greens, so that definitely helped in her success.
So take whatever approach works best for you, but know that if calorie counting isn't working, it's more than OK. You absolutely can lose weight without counting calories, and you'll probably have a better relationship with food as a result - but don't take my word for it, take theirs.
Parents Who Make Their Kids' Halloween Costumes Give Me Mommy Guilt
I can still hear the hum of the sewing machine in the sitting-room portion of my parents' bedroom. I was surrounded by yards of fabric, McCall's patterns, and cushions filled with primary-colored pins. Standing there, my mother would wrap me in fabric and pin it according to the patterns as we set out to make my dream Halloween costume each year.
The ritual would take place the first week in October. I'd spend the week before dreaming up my perfect costume. When I was little, I paid homage to my favorite show - Sesame Street. As I grew older, the choices were more personal. Pocahontas, the year I studied the American colonies so closely. A cheerleader the year the Washington Redskins made it to the Super Bowl. The Statue of Liberty the year I declared I wanted to move to New York City (it only took 10 more years for that to become a reality). And my favorite, the shower, an idea stolen from The Karate Kid after I became obsessed with the movie that Summer.
The Statue of Liberty was truly one of my favorite costumes. We had to layer up under it due to a cold spell that year but tried to color coordinate so it wouldn't take away from the costume.
Once the costume was decided upon, there was no turning back. Mom went to work getting patterns (there was no internet back in the '80s, so there was no Pinterest to consult for ideas), and I went to work standing as her model as she cut, pinned, sewed, and beaded each costume at night after our homework was done. Sometimes my brother and I were coordinated, but once we were old enough to have an opinion, we were allowed to select our own costumes. The big reveal, usually a few days before Halloween, included walking a runway of sorts for my father's approval. And he always approved with a big round of applause.
Pocahontas was a labor of love. There was beading, and fringe, and though you can't see them, adorable moccasins too.
But Halloween today doesn't look quite the same. In the age of Amazon Prime, my kids' costumes are more likely to come from a package than from my handiwork. And it makes me sad. Sure, they look adorable and they look more like the characters and sports stars they are dressing up as than my brother and I did, but their costumes lack the creativity and individuality of those we wore 30 years ago.
When I asked my mom if she enjoyed making us all of those costumes for all of those years, she laughed. She never really enjoyed the process (she thinks I'm looking at it with rose-colored glasses), but she says there really wasn't any other choice. Packaged costumes were expensive and made of cheap plastic that never felt safe. And she says there just wasn't much variety, so handmade was the only option. Though she wasn't a master tailor, she knew her way around a sewing machine, so she could do it.
My boys' store-bought costumes. They don't look too upset that Mom didn't make them.
Now, high school home ec class taught me how to sew - I made a mean apron back in the day - but in my small New York City apartment, I don't even own a sewing machine. So unless I'm gluing or hand-sewing, it just isn't going to happen. And while I can blame my children's lack of homemade costumes on the fact that I'm a full-time working mother who doesn't have time to visit fabric stores and cut and pin patterns, I don't think my kids would appreciate it even if I did it. In the age of Amazon, they see images of exactly what they want online, click a button, and two days later the costumes arrive picture perfect - with all of their various accessories - just in time for tick-or-treating. They also do so at a fraction of the cost of me making them from scratch.
Still, I drool over those beautiful handmade costumes that flood Pinterest, because I know how much work and love go into making them.
So while I'll lament the fact that my kids won't grow up with memories of me sticking them with pins and groaning as I pinch the fabric "just a bit tighter," I'll know that this is just my "mommy guilt complex," not an actual thing they're lacking in their childhoods. And who knows, maybe one day they'll look back at the time we spent huddled around the computer looking at costumes online and think those are great memories too!

Pamela Anderson Stuns on the Red Carpet With Her Handsome Son Dylan Lee
Pamela Anderson dropped jaws in an elegant black gown at the Unitas Gala Against Human Trafficking in NYC on Tuesday night. The Baywatch beauty was joined by her younger son, Dylan Jagger Lee; the 18-year-old aspiring model posed for photos with his mom on the red carpet before heading inside, where they sat together for the event. Dylan shared a photo of the duo on Instagram that evening, writing, "Great event for a great cause." Dylan, along with his 20-year-old brother, Brandon, is the son of Pam and her former husband Tommy Lee.
Pam recently made headlines when she penned an opinion piece about the dangers of pornography for the Wall Street Journal. The former Playboy centerfold argued that porn "killed" the men's magazine and that the "terrible addiction . . . is ruining relationships." Pam also alluded to the infamous 1995 sex tape featuring herself and Tommy - the tape was taken from their home and distributed illegally - saying, "I know sometimes people think it's hypocritical of me because there was a tape stolen from my house, [but] I'm talking about violent porn."
16 Times Celebrities Helped Regular People Pull Off Epic Marriage Proposals
Celebrities are no strangers to pulling off stunning marriage proposals themselves, but the ones they help arrange for fans and friends are sometimes even more incredible. Beyoncé recently helped her choreographer pop the question to one of her tour dancers during "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)," and Adele encouraged a woman to propose to her boyfriend on this year's Leap Day, proving that A-listers sure know how to amp up the romance. After all, what's better than having the love of your life get down on one knee? Having Queen Bey stand next to you while it happens, of course.
Netflix's Bloodline Is Ending After Season 3
Will the Rayburns ever find peace? Netflix is choosing to end its Florida-set drama Bloodline after season three. Kyle Chandler stars in the show, which revolves around the troubled Rayburn clan and their local legacy. The series is admittedly slow, and it hasn't been the awards juggernaut that Netflix was probably hoping for; Kyle Chandler and Ben Mendelsohn have been nominated for Emmys two years running, but they didn't win last year and we'll have to wait until Sunday to see if they can take home trophies for season two.
Though creators and producers were originally planning on a five- to six-season series, Netflix has cut its third-season order from 13 to 10 episodes, and it will be the show's last. The final short season will be available in July.

Scream Queens: Season 2 Looks Positively Freaky
Prepare to get even more hyped up for the second season of Scream Queens. This week, the season's first episodic pictures surfaced, introducing us to the second installment's crazy characters, old and new. Of course, we'd already met the hospital staff and patients through casting news, recent quotes from the stars, and behind-the-scenes snaps. But these official shots naturally up the ante.
17 Seriously Important Things to Know Going Into Scream Queens Season 2

Everyone Will Be Toting These Understated Accessories Come Spring
Floriana Gavriel and Rachel Mansur presented their Spring '17 lineup to a packed house on Tuesday at New York Fashion Week. Despite the buzzing crowd, the whole experience was completely unfussy. Veering from the spectacular approach that often plagues the Fashion Week calendar, the presentation was as understated as the shoes and bags that lined the walls.
The label delivers again on the bucket bag and the structured handbags it rolled out for Fall, this time in stain grosgrain. Gingham prints offer an adorable update on the minimalist bodies we already love.
We Want to Pack Up Michael Kors’ Spring ‘17 Collection and Take It on Vacation
Not every fashion event leaves you feeling like you've just witnessed pure magic, but Michael Kors' Spring '17 show had us grinning ear-to-ear. From the get go, we knew it would be something special: a full band could be seen next to the runway, and Rufus Wainright, a talented singer and composer, had been tapped to perform. Once those designs made their way down the runway - sigh - we practically melted. Breezy, colorful clothes combined with upbeat tunes made us feel as if we were on vacation, if only for a few short moments.
It was easy to picture ourselves somewhere warm and by the ocean, rocking every printed wrap dress, belted swimsuit - which came complete with a matching bag! - and chunky, oversize sweater (perfect for cooler nights). And while some looks, such as a handful of structured suits, pencil skirts, and trench coats, are likely better suited for the office, they still seemed more comfy than binding - a definite plus when you're working all day.
Kendall and Bella also made an appearance during the show, but even an It girl presence couldn't distract us from daydreaming about these pieces making their way to our closet. Luckily a few items are "buy-now," so check out the collection in full, then head over to michaelkors.com to snag some stuff, STAT.
Jake Gyllenhaal's New Movie Is Already Playing Games With Our Head
Hot off its buzzy premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, Nocturnal Animals is already one of our most anticipated Fall films. Tom Ford's romantic thriller stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Amy Adams, Armie Hammer, Michael Shannon, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and you might actually want to go into this movie without hearing the plot details. (But if you do want to know, here's what the movie is about.) One of the many reasons the film made such a splash at the festival is due to its extensive nude scene, and sadly, I'm not talking about Gyllenhaal. This first teaser is only a small peek; the full trailer will be here on Thursday. Get a sneak peek now, and mark your calendar for the Nov. 18 release date!
Shop the Exact Beauty Products Victoria Beckham Keeps in Her Daily Bag
We've been fascinated with Victoria Beckham since her Posh Spice days. While she currently grows her fashion label empire, Victoria has also dabbled in the beauty word - first with Nails Inc and now Estée Lauder. In a recent video interview with British Vogue, the style icon gave us a closer look at her own beauty routine, sharing the products she carries in her daily bag.
"I can't travel without my beauty products - my moisturizers, my hand cream, my lipstick, my fragrance," she said - which you can see up close and shop ahead!
"I also my Morning Aura from my capsule collection that I've been working on with Estée Lauder. When I'm feeling tired, I can just put a little bit on and it makes me feel awake and glowy and fresh. And it tightens, as well, and there's nothing wrong with a bit of that."
Her secret to looking great while overseeing a business and three kids is a simple beauty hack: eye drops. She said, "I also carry some eye drops. These I get from Japan. They really make the whites of your eyes super white. And I have so many children that I'm up so much during the night, and I do not get enough sleep that I do not go anywhere without my eye drops." While her favorite is from overseas, you can shop our preferred eye drops here.
And perhaps the most interesting fact from the interview is who she wants to swap purses with. "If I could trade bags with anyone for the day, it would be Hillary Clinton," she said. "Because I would love to know what she has in her bag." (We would, too!)
Big pharma approach to drug R&D challenged by UN panel
Report's authors call for a de-linkage of R&D costs and drug prices — at least in areas where the system is failing, such as tropical diseases and the hunt for new antibiotics against "superbug" resistant bacteria.

Watch Miley Cyrus as a Weed-Toting Suburban Hippie in Woody Allen's New Show
It's been five years since Miley Cyrus retired Hannah Montana's microphone, and the actress is once again on TV - Amazon, specifically. Cyrus is starring in Woody Allen's new series, Crisis in Six Scenes, a comedy set in the '60s suburbs. Allen himself also stars in the show as, you guessed it, a bumbling, overly thoughtful head of the house. You can watch him butt heads with Cyrus's weed-toting, bra-burning, navel-orange-eating character in the trailer; the show debuts on Sept. 30.
9 Tiny, Exciting Details About American Horror Story's Next Theme
It may be hard to believe, but American Horror Story season six kicks off on Wednesday, and we're still very much at a loss for information. We've got a handful of cast members who are basically locked in, but when it comes to theme, all we have are theories. PaleyFest hosted an American Horror Story panel in March, and cocreator Ryan Murphy shared a few tiny, very exciting details about what's to come. Since then, we've gotten posters, teasers, and more hints, but with less than a day to go, we're more confused than ever. Let's rehash everything we've learned.
This Is Not a Drill: You Can Now Shop Too Faced's Holiday Collection
For months, Too Faced cofounder and Creative Director Jerrod Blandino has been teasing us with Instagrams of upcoming launches. While it's been challenging, our patience has finally paid off: Too Faced has launched practically all of its holiday offerings on its brand website.
This year's collection theme is "Christmas in New York." The famous Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, the Plaza Hotel, and even the iconic yellow cabs of NYC all make appearances on the pretty packaging. But of course, what's inside is far more exciting.

This Little Boy With Cerebral Palsy Took a Major Stand by Struggling to Get Up For the National Anthem
Rebecca Wilson's 9-year-old son, Logan, is a major sports fan, and although he can't walk without the assistance of medical equipment, the Michigan boy loves cheering on his favorite teams.
Logan weighed less than two pounds when he was born and was diagnosed with spastic quad cerebral palsy. Although he can only crawl on his own, which makes standing up for the national anthem almost impossible, he always makes a point to take his hat off out of respect. However, while he and his mom were watching a game from their home, she saw Logan do something different - and decided to record the incredible moment.
"Until yesterday I never really saw him try to stand," she told Fox 13. "He just knew that is what we do to show respect to our country and everyone who fights so hard for us. He is truly just an amazing kid just doing what he loves."
Rebecca shared the video of her determined child on Facebook with the caption: "Even my 9 year old with CP (who can't walk) knows you're supposed to stand up during the national anthem ... He loves it!"
She admits that her post was targeted at NFL players who have recently refused to stand during the national anthem out of protest, even though she believes they are entitled to do so. "In my opinion, I believe they are not only disrespecting their own country, a country that affords them the right to do what they did, but also disrespecting all the people who fight for this country," she said. "I do not disagree with their reasons for doing what they did, I disagree with the actions they took."
This Vintage Video of Elizabeth Taylor Doing Her Makeup Is Enchanting
As an uncontested icon of the silver screen, Elizabeth Taylor was never one to skew toward subtlety - especially when it came to her makeup. Her bold eye makeup in Cleopatra has since been lauded as a major beauty moment, and her affinity for makeup never waned. A recently resurfaced clip from the 1974 film The Driver's Seat, however, serves as further evidence that she was always ahead of the curve.
In the clip, Elizabeth is seen confidently applying navy-gray eye makeup, resulting in a smoky eye look. She then uses the small eye shadow brush to also apply eyeliner on her lower lash line. Though this is definitely a challenging technique, she effectively avoids getting loose pigment all over her under eye area (and face). Watch the expert at work in the pseudo makeup tutorial above.
Soccer Star Neymar Jr. Might've Just Released a Clip of His Very First Song

Com voces, uma palinha da minha 1ª música de trabalho: 'Yo Necesito.' Curtiram? #Neymusico," Neymar wrote beneath a video of him seated at a piano, performing his song, titled "Yo Necesito," as his friend giggles in the background - a clue that the whole #Neymusico thing might be a joke, perhaps?

On a Scale of 1 to 11, How Cute Is Winona Ryder and Millie Bobby Brown's Friendship?
Winona Ryder and Millie Bobby Brown may have fought off a scary demon from the Upside Down on Netflix's hit show Stranger Things, but in real life, they're just a couple of gals who love to hang out together. The two were spotted attending a show during New York Fashion Week on Tuesday, and to say they were sweet with each other would definitely be an understatement. Winona, who channeled her '90s girl style in a funky dinosaur sweater, flashed a smile as chatted with Millie and wrapped her arms around her for a big hug. The fun outing also comes on the heels of Winona's fun reunion with her Beetlejuice director, Tim Burton, at his handprint cermony in LA earlier this month.

This Hero Driver "Did What a Mom Would Do" When She Saved 20 Kids From a Burning School Bus
It's not an image any parent wants to see: a yellow school bus, engulfed in flames with black smoke billowing out of every window.
Thanks to one heroic bus driver, however, all 20 students on board that elementary school bus in Maryland walked away safely, injury-free.
Driver Reneita Smith noticed something was off when her Glenarden Woods Elementary School bus started making noises and the brake light indicator turned on. She smelled smoke and promptly secured the bus. Then, from "my side view mirror, I saw fire." She sprung to action.
"I got my babies, and I got off the bus," she told CNN, noting that she took each child off the bus one by one. "But because it just didn't sit right with me, I had to make sure every last body on that bus was accounted for. I ran back in. As I got back off, I got to the last step on the bus, and the bus went up in flames."
The cause of the fire is under investigation, but one thing is certain: these kids – and their parents – were lucky to have Reneita at the wheel.
"I didn't see other people's children, I saw my children," she said. "I'm a mom, so I just did what a mom would do, and I got my babies off the bus."

A Day in the Life of Gigi Hadid Sounds So Normal - Until You Remember She's a Supermodel
As far as supermodels go, Gigi Hadid is the queen of normalcy. She insists on frequently eating burgers to maintain her sanity, paintings mugs at Color Me Mine with her friends, and dancing around to the Wicked soundtrack with her boyfriend, Zayn Malik. In her free time, however, she poses for the cover of Harper's Bazaar's October 2016 issue. So, there's that.
For the magazine's annual age issue, the 21-year-old supermodel shares her pretty shockingly normal routine, as well as her favorite NYC haunts - JG Melon, the South Street Seaport, and Topshop, to name a few.
Gigi also spoke about her collection for Tommy Hilfiger. Of the experience, she said, "Designing with Tommy was an incredible experience. Every time I see him he just reminds me that being positive is so important. He's always happy and welcoming and warm and it trickles down through his entire company. Being nice is so important."
So while she does squeeze in designer collaborations and fashion shows here and there, at the end of the day, Gigi admits to being back on her couch singing musicals with Zayn. "I love "Popular" from Wicked . . . My boyfriend gets into it too. He's a big goofball - we laugh a lot," she said.
Look ahead for pictures from Gigi's very first Harper's Bazaar cover shoot, as well as a cute reaction shot from Instagram.

Show Your Stripes With J.Crew's Exclusive Collection For Net-a-Porter
J.Crew's creative director Jenna Lyons has a sense of style that is undoubtedly her own - one that is overtly reflected in her designs for the beloved retailer. Now, J.Crew has teamed up with Net-a-Porter for an exclusive 25-piece collection that is, well, about as Jenna Lyons as it gets.
The fitting collaboration features separates, accessories, and sneakers all inspired by the iconic Breton stripe. The abbreviated history of the Breton stripe goes as such: it was used in 1858 as the official uniform for men in the French navy until it was adopted by Coco Chanel in 1917 for a nautical collection. Audrey Hepburn, Brigitte Bardot, and Jean Paul Gaultier would later go on to popularize it.
Thus, J.Crew's designs have taken those iconic stripes and reimagined them in interested, yet totally wearable ways. Look ahead for pictures of the collection, then shop away.
iMessage Is Becoming the Apple Messaging App You've Always Wanted
The new iOS 10 operating system is packed full of fun features, including plenty for iMessage. The updates, announced at this year's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), will make messaging feel a little bit like Facebook Messenger and Google's own anticipated Allo app.
- Links become more useful: Now when you drop in a link in iMessage, a full preview will show up with rich links. If it's a video, it'll even start to play. You can even share Apple Music links in the app, and you can listen without leaving iMessage.
- Emoji get bigger and better: Emoji will now appear three times bigger than usual. With Tap to Replace, you'll get a list of predictive emoji that could replace some of your text.
- Animations and bubble effects are now here: Want to make messaging fun again? With bubble effects, you can make certain texts appear bigger or smaller, at a slant, and more. If you're celebrating something like New Year's or a birthday, an animation will take over the entire screen.
- Send secret messages: With Invisible Ink, send a message or photo to your friend. To them, it'll appear fuzzy until they swipe on it to see what you wrote or drew.
- Draw anything: Similar to Snapchat or Facebook Photos, you can draw on a photo or video, add stickers, or include your heartbeat.
- Go ahead, put a sticker on it: With Stickers, you can send one as a text, put it on a photo, and even place it on top of a text bubble.
- Let someone know what you're thinking quickly: With Tapback, you can send your friend six preset answers to a question of theirs like a thumbs up, a heart, and a question mark.
- Apps for iMessage are now a possibility: You can now add certain apps to use just within iMessage, like JibJab.
Look at photos of the new iMessage ahead and get ready to maybe spend a little more time texting. And don't worry - you only have to wait till Sept. 13 to use it.
Clarisonic Making Your Skin Worse? Here's Why (and How to Fix It)
The Clarisonic is, arguably, the first beauty tool (other than the Sonicare Toothbrush) that feels like an absolute necessity. I've personally owned one for almost seven years now, and although we have had our ups and downs, I can say that it's back to being a part of my daily regimen.
Admittedly, I stopped using my Clarisonic last year for a variety of reasons. I felt like it was too aggressive for my skin and that I didn't need to exfoliate as often as I had been; my skin was turning ruddy to the point that a dermatologist thought I had rosacea. Cutting out the everyday exfoliating made a huge difference, but I felt like I didn't have the glow I used to.
That said, I visited the Clarisonic factory in Seattle this year and met with Dr. Robb, the man behind the device, who provided me with a slew of facts that blew my mind. Most importantly? The Clarisonic is not an exfoliating device! Yes, it's a brush, so it's easy to associate it as one, but it's not meant to exfoliate the skin. Just like the Sonicare Toothbrush deeply cleans your teeth, the brush is meant to deeply clean your skin. Next? I was using an aggressive exfoliating face wash, which was totally unnecessary for the brush. And I was also going HAM with the device, using it morning and evening. Once I changed the face wash I used with my Clarisonic (along with how much I was applying to the brush head) as well as wetting the brush thoroughly, I noticed a drastic improvement in my skin! Also, the brush head matters. I was using the normal brush head, but it was too aggressive for me. Switching to the Luxe Cashmere Cleanse option really did wonders for my skin.
Check out 10 mistakes you're making with your Clarisonic, and let me know in the comments any tips or tricks you have.

The early mother-daughter conversations about your period are never easy, but when you're 13 years old and looking for tampons in the maze that is the drugstore, the texting conversation with your mom can be nothing short of hilarious. Belinda Hankins took to Facebook to post a series of epic texts between her and her daughter, who was beyond confused while looking for feminine products.
"THIS was the highlight of my parenting week. Sending my 13-year-old daughter into the store for (whispers) 'feminine hygiene products,' and having the following text exchange. I died, she gave me life, I died again," she wrote. "And she drew an illustration, on the spot, ON HER PHONE, to drive her point home. #VaginaLasers #SMASHTHEPATRIARCHY #THEVAGINAZONE #GodILoveHer #IGotThePerfectKidForMe."

This Mesmerizing GIF Will Show You That Stars Can Blow Bubbles Just Like You
There's no cheap thrill quite like the satisfaction of blowing bubbles on a warm day - except maybe watching a star blow a bubble. You read that correctly. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope recently recorded a "super-hot, massive star" as it blew a bubble into space.
The telescope captured this moment back in February 2016 with "unprecedented clarity," according to NASA. What is it exactly, though? Known as the Bubble Nebula, it was first discovered in 1787. It's basically formed by the interaction of dense, cold gas with warmer gas. Because different gases are colliding, different colors are produced. Oxygen emits blue light when the temperature is hot enough; the reaction of hydrogen and nitrogen creates the cooler colors. NASA points out that the star producing this Bubble Nebula is 45 times larger than our sun and 7,100 light years from earth.
The video itself is stunning, but know what's even more staggering? Hubble has been in orbit since April 24, 1990, and has continuously captured mesmerizing videos of stars. To celebrate that fact, NASA released this specific video to celebrate the Hubble Telescope's 26th birthday. Watch the Bubble Nebula in action below, and then check out more amazing space imagery.
