As I type this, it feels like I’m in the pit at a concert. My go-to daily playlist sounds rich and layered, like I’m listening to each song for the first time. I hear the bass, background instrumentals, and each lyric as if it’s being sung directly into my ears. What I don’t hear? The annoying hum of my AC unit. And it’s all thanks to the new AirPods Max 2s.

On March 16, Apple dropped the AirPods Max 2 — headphones with new features like adaptive audio, better sound quality, and even better Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). They adjust in response to your environment, so your songs or podcasts stay crisp and clear. You can also take calls, chat with people IRL while keeping them on, and stay aware of your surroundings with ease.

I’ve been very into the analog trend this year, so I’ve been favoring CDs and wired headphones for a minute now, but TBH, I might be back in 2026 after this launch. Not to be dramatic, but listening to music on the AirPods Max 2 has been sort of life-changing.

From serious tech pros to everyday music fans, the internet has been geeking out over the AirPods Max 2s because of the tech upgrades and new features. I was thrilled to give them a try before they hit the market on April 1. Here’s what the experience was like.

What To Know About AirPods Max 2

These over-the-ear headphones feature adaptive audio, noise cancelation, and conversational awareness. Basically, that means if you start to talk to someone, the headphones automatically lower the volume of your music while boosting voice clarity so you can chat with ease without having to press pause.

It’s ideal for work, where you might need to switch between phone calls, playlists, and in-person chats. No more saying “huh?” throughtout the day. These headphones also prioritize the other person’s voice on actual calls by reducing background noise so you can hear every word even if you’re on a busy street.

The improved ANC is all thanks to the new H2 chip technology that’s located in each ear cup. It makes noise cancellation 1.5 times more effective than the previous AirPods Max, which means pesky outside noise is barely noticeable. You won’t hear the sound of the plane engine on your next flight or the whir of traffic going by outside your apartment.

These headphones also offer high-fidelity sound that’s clean, rich, and acoustically detailed, so you’ll pick up every layer of a song. It’s ideal for professional musicians and content creators, or someone like me, who simply appreciates a good guitar riff.

Over time, a personalized volume algorithm learns how you prefer to listen to music and then fine-tunes your listening experience based on your preferences. There’s even a feature where you can nod “yes” or “no” in response to Siri. The AirPods Max 2s come in a range of cute colors, too: starlight (white), blue, purple, orange, and midnight (black).

Trying Them Out

My favorite thing about these headphones has to be the bass. The first thing I did was go through my playlists — especially the songs that sent me running to the dance floor at the club in 2016 — all I can say is: Wow.

The bass is booming in the best way, and even songs I’ve heard hundreds of times feel brand new thanks to the crisp audio details. I feel completely immersed in my music, and it makes listening so much more fun.

The noise cancelation is also a major plus. I’ve been wearing these headphones while I work and feel less distracted than usual. I can put on an instrumental playlist, white noise, or just plop them atop my head with nothing playing at all, and listen as the ANC kicks in and the world fades away. I can be in a bustling coffee shop, and it’s still easy to focus on my laptop.

I feel like a true 21st-century woman when I wear them. If I pop into a cafe, I can order without having to manually pause my music. Even though the music fades, I still like to lift an ear cup. When I do, the song pauses automatically so I can order my latte without having to touch my phone.

Here’s an off-label use: These headphones have offered a major upgrade for my group chat. I’ve been wearing them to listen to the podcast-length voice notes my friends send me about their day, and then I respond using Siri. A quick “Hey Siri, send a voice message to Kate,” and I can record my musings and send them completely hands-free.

As someone who loves a daily walk, transparency mode has made all the difference. It lets in outside noise in a natural way, so I can hear when someone’s standing next to me at a crosswalk or ringing their bike bell as they pass by. I like that it helps prevent that dangerous disorientated feeling that can occur when headphones block out everything.

It’s also been more fun to make phone calls with these on. The people I’ve spoken to say they can hear me loud and clear, and I can do a hands-free answer when a call is coming in. The battery life is just as impressive. I’ve had these headphones for about a week and have yet to charge them. A win for lazy girls who can’t always remember to charge their tech every day.

The Takeaway

If you’re looking to splurge on a set headphones that sound great, block noise, and make phone calls a breeze, then these might be for you. Since they’re not quite budget-friendly, I’d recommend getting a more substantial case than what they come with to keep them protected.

They come with a thin Smart Case that helps preserve the battery charge, but I’m in the market for something more heavy-duty so I can toss them in my bag without a worry. Thankfully, there are a lot of options available out there. Overall, I’m a big fan of what the AirPods Max 2 offer. They feel high-tech and make listening to music a full-on “main character” experience.

In Bustle’s The Pregame, we ask athletes about their pregame rituals. What do they wear for the famous tunnel walk? How do they get in the zone? Do they have any superstitions? Here, we chat with Cameron Brink, a forward for the Los Angeles Sparks, about the WNBA’s newest expansion teams and how she stays hydrated.

Before entering the WNBA, Cameron Brink had already made her mark at Stanford University, where she won the 2021 NCAA Women’s Basketball National Championship as a freshman. By 2024, she was the No. 2 overall draft pick as she headed into the league and ultimately joined the Los Angeles Sparks.

Brink’s NCAA win is one of her proudest moments so far, and she hopes to replicate the feeling in her professional career, too. “Winning is the best,” the 24-year-old tells Bustle. As she looks ahead to the 2026 season, which kicks off on May 8, she’s excited for the potential that comes with another year in the league and the momentum around the WNBA, especially with expansion teams like the Portland Fire and Toronto Tempo.

While her lifestyle is very on-the-go, Brink is actually happiest at home. “I’m just a homebody,” she says. “I’m a very family-oriented person, so I pour into the people around me. I have the best fiancé, Ben [Felter], and we have a dog. When I’m not out and about, I love to be inside enjoying their company.”

Since she’s so busy, Brink is also hyperaware of what she eats and how it impacts her performance. It’s why she works with Optimum Nutrition, a brand she’s partnered with since her college days. “They have products that I authentically use every day,” she says. “It’s really about my post-workout recovery and hitting my protein goals.”

To get ready for the season ahead, Brink is focused on getting things right with her body: staying hydrated, getting the right amount of sleep. “Nothing special,” she says. “It’s all just good old hard work.”

Here, the WNBA star talks about her lengthy pregame naps, a meditative makeup routine, and what it’s like in the Sparks locker room.

How do you get in the zone before a game?

Before I head to the arena, I take as long of a nap as I can possibly take. Usually about two hours. Then I do some breath work to calm down, so a guided meditation and a body scan. Having a big pregame meal is also huge for me. I eat about four hours before game time. Usually salmon or chicken, rice, broccoli — a boring but healthy meal.

What’s playing in your headphones on game day?

I love rap and hip-hop. Kendrick Lamar is one of my favorite rappers. I’ve been listening to a lot of house EDM and Charli XCX. My teammate Rae [Burrell] also likes to play music in the locker room. It’s always very fun and chaotic in there.

How do you get good sleep the night before?

If I’m traveling, I’ll bring something that makes me feel at home, like blankets and a special pillow. I have one called a Sleep Crown that I really love. Then I just follow a nighttime routine: hot shower, skin care, and a red light mask.

Any tips for staying hydrated?

I always have my trusty water bottle on me. You just have to carry a water bottle around. There’s no other way or else you’ll forget. It’s not fun. It’s not sexy, but it works.

Do you have any pregame superstitions or lucky charms?

I always put my left sock on first. That’s my one thing. I have no idea how it started, but I’ve been doing it from a young age.

Do you always do your makeup?

Yes, it’s my favorite part. If we have a home game, I like to get ready in my own space. It’s very much my girly, meditative time. I’m a huge blush girl, but I also love an eyelash, a good mascara, and I have to keep my brows gelled down. I use the One-Size Setting Spray so I don’t sweat it all off.

How do you pick an outfit for your tunnel walk?

I’m very lucky to work with some amazing stylists, like my girl Shiona Turini. I have to give her kudos for curating some beautiful looks and also finding the right sizes for me. It’s really hard to find anything that fits my legs and feet. I love that creative process, and I have some amazing outfits coming soon this season.

What are three words that define your style?

I would say classy, sassy, and very put-together. I love to put in effort, even if I’m just leaving the house in sweats. The shoes and bag have to match. Even if it’s athleisure, I still very much try to look presentable.

Do you have any pregame rituals with your team?

We always do a pregame talk. We sit together and go back over the game plan and our intentions for the night, like what we’re focusing on offensively and defensively. It’s a moment for the team to be present and get ready.

Hilary Duff didn’t just release new music for the first time in over a decade this year — she also pulled a Taylor Swift and re-recorded some of her classics. On April 10, the singer released “Come Clean (Mine),” the new version of her 2003 hit, and yes, you may need some tissues hearing her sing it again over 20 years later.

Mirroring Swift’s approach to her “Taylor’s Version” albums, Duff’s re-recording stays faithful to the original song, sounding just as timeless as it did in 2003. But her mature voice adds more depth and emotion to the lyrics, proving that the anthemic chorus rings just as true today.

Making it even more sentimental, Duff timed the streaming release to the Roku Channel’s Laguna Beach reunion special, which features “Come Clean (Mine),” nodding to how the original became a hit thanks to the MTV series using Duff’s track as its theme song.

Duff previously revealed that she re-recorded some of her biggest hits during the rollout for her new album, luck... or something, including a couple of different “Mine” versions as bonus tracks across several vinyl variants of the album. However, until now, she’s kept the songs exclusive to the physical vinyls.

“Come Clean (Mine)” is just the first single from Duff’s upcoming collection of re-recordings. On April 18, she’ll release Hilary Duff – (Mine) exclusively for Record Store Day, which will be limited to just 10,000 copies and pressed on silver vinyl. The LP will feature Duff’s six other “(Mine)” versions, including her Lizzie McGuire Movie classic, “What Dreams Are Made Of (Mine),” which she recently performed live for the first time during her “Small Rooms, Big Nerves” shows.

In November, Duff remarked on the Therapuss podcast that she had a complicated relationship with “What Dreams Are Made Of” back in 2003, stating that she didn’t love it at the time. “I don't even remember recording that song,” she said. “But I will say, now I love it. And when I was filming the movie, I loved it. It was a weird time. It was a Lizzie McGuire song.”

If you’ve got an upcoming vacation, Aussie brand Paire recently dropped its Lipstick Underwear in the U.S. — and it deserves a spot in your suitcase. The covetable briefs look like chic lingerie, but they’re packed with all sorts of travel-friendly features, like ultra-lightweight, quick-dry fabric and a compact carrying case that’s the size of, you guessed it, a lipstick tube. Needless to say, we’re obsessed.

Both designs feature a comfy, full-coverage bottom that looks vintage-inspired in the most stylish way possible.

There’s a point after every hot Pilates class where you wonder why you keep doing this to yourself. Sure, it’s a great workout — but your face is red, your clothes are a sticky sensory nightmare, and your hair somehow feels sweaty and stiff at the same time.

Even a shower can’t fix everything. Your hair feels cleaner, but still drier than normal... which might be the moment the thought creeps in: Is there something I’m supposed to be doing before class so it doesn’t come out like this?

On TikTok, the answer is yes — and the solution? Applying heat protectant because, according to a very loud subset of users, those heat lamps are frying your strands.

“Any heat can cause damage … Common sense I fear,” one user commented. Meanwhile, others find it just as ridiculous that anyone would believe they’re getting heat damage from a room that tops out around 120 degrees. “Unless your class is set to 300 degrees, you’re just wasting product, babes,” one skeptic chimed in, while another added, “God, can anything be easy?”

So, which is it? Ahead, a trichologist breaks down what’s actually happening to your hair during a heated workout class — and whether this is a smart prep step or just another thing TikTok made us overthink.

Is Hot Pilates Damaging Your Hair?

Short answer: yes — but it’s not “heat damage” in the way people online mean it.

Hair doesn’t start to experience true, irreversible heat damage until it reaches around 140°C (284°F) — far beyond the temperature of any hot workout room. So the idea that your hair is getting “fried” mid-class in the same way that it would with a flat iron is wrong. However, that doesn’t mean it’s totally unaffected.

“Hot Pilates may not pack the same heat as a heat tool, but repeated exposure may lead to hair damage,” says Carrie Prowant, trichologist and hair extension specialist. “The cuticle of the hair lifts with higher temperatures, causing roughness, as well as moisture loss,” she adds, especially if you’re going multiple times a week.

Some hair types will see more moisture loss than others. “Chemically treated hair — especially high-lift color — curly or coily textures, because they’re naturally drier, fine strands, and high-porosity hair are more vulnerable,” Prowant says.

Bottom line: Hot Pilates isn’t burning your hair. What’s actually happening is that your strands become more fragile and brittle as heat and humidity open the cuticle — which makes them more prone to breakage if you’re not counteracting it.

What To Do Before A Workout Class

Turns out, TikTok isn’t entirely wrong. A heat protectant can, in fact, help your hair feel less dry after hot Pilates, but not because it’s protecting against heat damage in the traditional sense. “It helps create a barrier on the hair strand,” Prowant explains. So it essentially seals the cuticle so your hair doesn’t lose as much moisture in that hot, humid environment.

A heat protectant isn’t your only option. A lightweight leave-in conditioner or hydrating mask creates that same kind of buffer. Prowant recommends choosing formulas with hyaluronic acid, like Keranique’s Strengthening Leave-In Conditioner, because it “penetrates deeper into the hair and helps calm fussy scalps.” Plus, post-workout, it adds slip while you’re brushing, which reduces the likelihood of mechanical damage to the hair.

Some other pro tips for maintaining hair health? Don’t go into class with damp strands — they should be at least 90% dry, according to Prowant, as they’re more vulnerable to damage in that state. Pair that with a tight slickback, and you’re stretching hair that’s already structurally weaker. Then, after class, rinse your scalp and ends with water even if you’re not using shampoo, says Prowant, followed by a leave-in to bring moisture back.

All in all, the impulse to reach for something wasn’t wrong, but TikTok got a little too specific with the heat protectant. Any hydrating product will do — in fact, if you treat class like an opportunity to let those ingredients really soak in, your hair might come out in better shape than when you walked in.

As Hilary Duff sings on the Laguna Beach theme song, Lauren Conrad is going “back to the beginning,” reuniting with her former castmates more than two decades after her iconic MTV show premiered. However, there was actually a reunion before the reunion. In 2024, the show’s old stomping grounds of Laguna Beach High School held a 20-year reunion for the 2004 graduating class.

“Dieter [Schmitz] and I planned it,” Conrad, 40, tells Bustle, nodding to her Laguna Beach co-star. “Actually, I had a blast at my reunion. It’s funny, everyone’s always humming and hawing over a reunion, but ours was great. This group of people that graduated together have a very special bond.”

Sadly, that event wasn’t filmed, which inspired Conrad to help put together a special for fans who grew up alongside the former students. The Reunion: Laguna Beach, which premieres April 10 on the Roku Channel, sees her catch up with her BFF Lo Bosworth, former flame Stephen Colletti, frenemy Kristin Cavallari, and their group of friends, including Schmitz, Trey Phillips, Talan Torriero, Christina Schuller, Jessica Smith, Alex Hooser, and Morgan Smith.

Conrad says the cast had talked about getting back together on-camera for a while, but the show’s 20-year anniversary made them realize they didn’t want to wait much longer. “We felt like enough time had passed that we could have an honest conversation about our experience and look back and laugh at things — but not too much time because we're all turning 40,” she jokes.

After graduation, Conrad famously moved from Laguna Beach to The Hills, which followed her as she worked her way through the fashion industry in Los Angeles. After five seasons and founding her clothing line, LC Lauren Conrad at Kohl’s, she left reality TV behind completely in 2009. Since then, she married William Tell, welcomed two sons, 8-year-old Liam and 6-year-old Charlie, and moved back home to Laguna as she built her fashion empire. Going back on-camera after almost 17 years proved to be a bigger challenge than expected.

“I’m so disconnected from that life,” she says. “It's sort of a memory to me. It doesn't feel real. As time passes, you forget some of the harder bits. Especially the day we filmed on stage, that was really hard for me because I get a lot of anxiety and I just haven't done it in so long.”

However, Conrad is also an executive producer on the special, which was the “only way” she would participate, and that went a long way in making her feel “comfortable” in front of the cameras again. “We did this for years without having any control, and you're putting a lot of trust in people,” she says. “We were asking a lot of our friends to participate, and we wanted to look out for them as well.”

That said, don’t expect this experience to open the doors for a reality TV comeback. “We were ready to get on camera now, but I think my filming days are behind me after this,” she says.

Below, Conrad opens up about her biggest Laguna Beach regret, where she stands with Cavallari, and why it’s the right time to end her reality TV career.

Who from the cast did you keep in touch with?

I see most of the cast pretty regularly. We would see each other usually around holidays. Stephen and I are the only ones who still live in California. Lo’s in New York, Trey’s in London, but he was in New York for years, so I was able to see him when I would visit or when he comes back into town.

On the special, Casey Wilson asked Kristin Cavallari how she felt being portrayed as the “bad girl,” and labeled you as the good girl. How do you look back on that narrative?

I was fine with it. Actually, I was a pretty well-behaved kid in school, so that was pretty accurate.

Which moment from Laguna Beach makes you cringe the most today?

I have a hard time watching how the girls talk about each other. It’s not uncommon in high school to pit girls against each other, but it was hard to look back because that's so far from the person I am today, and I just don't talk about women like that. But I also think it represents how far we’ve come.

You fix that by moving forward with Kristin on a positive note. How have you guys kept in touch since the reunion?

We haven't seen each other in years ‘cause she's been living in Tennessee, and we just live very different lives. I don’t think there’s anything that brings her back to Laguna. But we’ve been seeing each other a lot for press, I went and did her podcast.

Who came up with the idea of your outfit matching Stephen’s and Kristin’s at the premiere, nodding back to the black-and-white party?

We didn’t coordinate, actually. I meant to text her. We’d talked about it, but everyone did their own thing. I wasn’t planning on wearing white or black. I was going to wear whatever I liked best, and I happened to fall in love with the dress that I found.

It’s interesting that you both ended up in the design space. Do you think there could be an LC and Uncommon James collaboration in the works?

I never say no. [pauses] Sorry, I went straight to my contract. I was like, “I don't know if I'm allowed to do that.” The answer is I don’t know.

Has doing this reunion shifted your perspective on reality TV in general?

My husband and I watched Big Brother for a little bit, but reality TV has been ruined for me because once you know how the sausage is made, it’s hard to enjoy it. Reality TV used to be a little more authentic, but also people are more open these days and willing to show everything, because the more interesting their storyline is, the more screen time they're going to get.

I do think people’s approach is different. They use it as a launching pad to build brands and businesses, which is what you should do. We didn’t know that was an option when we signed up.

Next month marks the 20th anniversary of The Hills. Would you ever want to reunite with that cast in the same way and get some closure?

You know what, I really think that this is going to be my last project. I’m at a point where I’m living a pretty normal life, and I love it, and I feel really fortunate to be able to do so. So I obviously wanted to participate in this, but I like the idea of ending my reality TV career with the same group of people I started with.

Nothing gives you a boost of dopamine quite like scrolling social media. As you laugh at memes and tap on posts, the rewarding hormone lifts your mood and encourages you to come back for more. Shopping works like this, too. It’s fun to add items to your cart, hit “buy now,” and track them on their way to your house.

The only problem? These quick hits of dopamine rarely last long. Before you know it, you’re back to baseline — or feeling even lower than before. It’s why the concept of “slow dopamine” is trending on TikTok. Creator @olivia.unplugged says she’s seeking out “slow dopamine” as a way to rewire her brain so it doesn’t crave these “faster” types of dopamine. Switching up how you seek happiness can make you feel more grounded and content, and it can even prevent burnout.

The idea is to do things that require patience and effort so you feel better for longer, instead of chasing those speedy spikes. It’s all about the delayed reward. If you typically scroll or shop — two frenetic pastimes that instantly light up your brain — you’d choose something gentler instead. Think gardening, walking, meditating. Sometimes you can go even slower than that: learning an instrument or watching an entire sunset from start to finish, instead of just snapping a quick pic and walking away.

In another clip, creator @genevavanderzeil said you can revel in slow dopamine by “getting out of your head and into your hands.” By that, she meant doing hands-on crafts and projects as a way to opt out of fast dopamine ups and downs, and feel more grounded. Here’s what to know.

Chasing That Dopamine

The slow dopamine trend is similar to the “low dopamine” trend, which is about stepping away from things that trigger dopamine altogether as a way to take a break. It might look like making tea in the morning instead of reaching for your phone or reading a book instead of watching TV.

Slow dopamine, on the other hand, is about partaking in satisfying habits and hobbies that make you happy, but choosing ones that take a while to complete in an effort to draw out the process. The fact the reward isn’t instantaneous is all part of the plan.

According to somatic therapist Chloë Bean, LMFT, dopamine is involved in the brain’s reward center. “People think of it as the ‘feel-good’ chemical, but it’s more about anticipation, drive, reinforcement, and it's what makes us want to repeat something rewarding,” she tells Bustle. It’s why you naturally seek out things that feel satisfying.

The big, modern ways to get it are: scrolling, online shopping, caffeine, gambling, marathoning TV shows, checking texts, dating apps, notifications, and constantly looking for novelty and validation, she says. “A lot of these are easy, immediate, and available at any moment,” she adds. Because they’re so rewarding, you can get stuck in a loop of constant stimulation — and feel super bored without them. Your brain gets used to the never-ending fun, and that can make you feel disconnected and burnt out.

Can “Slow Dopamine” Make You Happier?

Want some slow dopamine? Making art, going for a long walk, tending to a garden, cooking a whole dinner, and learning something new all fall into this category.

Slow dopamine can also come from finishing a puzzle over the course of a few weeks, completing a long-term craft like knitting or crocheting, or taking a long, meandering, silent walk. On TikTok, @oliviaunplugged says she jots down notes while she watches interesting videos on her phone. That way she slows down the process of scrolling — and learns something, too.

“These activities tend to involve presence, curiosity, and consistency, so the reward becomes the practice of showing up,” Bean says. “In real life, ‘slow dopamine’ is basically another way of talking about more sustainable and grounded pleasure instead of constant micro-rewards that you need to keep chasing.”

“Over time, this can support a greater sense of steadiness.”

While those fast dopamine spikers, like scrolling, drinking lots of coffee, and texting, aren’t necessarily “bad,” they also aren’t ideal if your nervous system is already overloaded. “This constant quick-hit coping keeps you in a cycle of chasing relief instead of actually restoring yourself,” Bean says. “It can be exhausting over time.”

Adding more slow, effort-based rewards to your day is a way to pull yourself out of autopilot. It’s also about getting back into body-based activities that feel regulating, meaningful — and even energizing. “Over time, these things can support a greater sense of steadiness, satisfaction, and meaning to your life, which is very different from the ‘chase and crash’ that often comes with burnout,” Bean says. With slow dopamine, it’s all about rebuilding your experience with happiness, connection, and rest.

Six years after Schitt’s Creek took its triumphant final bow, Dan Levy is celebrating his new series Big Mistakes — a press run that’s been dotted with poignant reflections on the late Catherine O’Hara.

The legendary comedic force, who died in January, was more than Levy’s on-screen mom. As he noted in his touching tribute to O’Hara, her five decades of collaboration with Eugene Levy made her a lifelong member of the family, even before the younger Levy was born. It’s a closeness you can feel in his latest interviews, like with CBS Sunday Morning.

For the first time since filming wrapped on Schitt’s Creek, Levy and CBS journalist Anthony Mason visited Goodwood, Ontario, which served as the stand-in town for the show’s titular community. After sharing that he’d been “thinking about” a Schitt’s Creek revival before O’Hara’s passing, Levy began to cry. “It’s tough ... I didn’t think that I’d have quite an emotional reaction,” he shared, noting that being back was prompting recollections of his beloved, on-screen mom. “It’s what you have to hold on to, is the memories of it all.”

“And an incredible clip reel,” Mason offered, to which Levy agreed: “Listen, for someone who was not on the internet, she knew how to meme.”

And during an April 8 appearance on Jake Shane’s Therapuss podcast, Levy further honored O’Hara’s comedic gifts, remembering the time she made him break while filming the very first episode of Schitt’s Creek. As her character, Moira Rose, looked for a missing tennis bracelet, O’Hara found a stray light bulb in the drawer she was searching through. “It wasn’t a planted prop, it was just something she found. And she pulled out this light bulb and started screaming at the light bulb.”

Levy said that if you rewatch the episode (which I obviously am right now), you can see him “Stefon-ing” through that entire scene — a reference to Bill Hader’s Saturday Night Live character, who would cover his mouth with his hands to signal his excitement and hide his real laughter. As it turns out, Levy used the same trick to make it through O’Hara’s heights of hilarity.

“I think it’s funny that characters find other characters on TV funny, so I started just leaning in to the fact that if I find this funny, then maybe David found this funny,” Levy said. “And maybe the audience gets to have a bit of a, Is it the actor, or is it the character?”

Coachella is the closest thing we non-celebrities get to a Met Gala moment — and not because of the clothes themselves, but because of how seriously everyone treats it. Outfits get planned months in advance, the internet is ready to judge in real time, and whatever shows up there ends up shaping spring and summer trends.

The main difference, of course, is that there’s no glam team on standby to fix your hair and makeup if it falls apart in the middle of Justin Bieber’s set. (God forbid.) You’re outside all day, walking between stages, and probably sweating more than you thought humanly possible — which just means your beauty routine has to work a little harder to keep you feeling fresh.

Realistically, you’re not doing a full touch-up at a festival. At best, you’re digging through your bag, reapplying something quickly, maybe using your phone camera as a mirror, and calling it a day. So whatever you bring has to be the kind of product you can use without overthinking it — or one that keeps working long after you’ve forgotten about it. Below, the festival beauty essentials worth a spot in your GRWM, according to Bustle editors.

The Ultimate Sparkly Buy

Danessa Myricks Beauty Infinite Chrome Flakes Multichrome Gel

Sephora -

“If I’m going to a show, I’m going to be rocking some sparkle. Danessa Myricks’ Infinite Chrome Flakes are perfect for the job: The iridescent, ultra-pigmented gel has major light-capturing color payoff that doesn’t budge — perfect for sweaty dancing, all while staying camera-ready.” — Rachel Lapidos, deputy beauty editor

The Skin-Boosting Sip

K2O By Sprinter Variety Pack

Drink Sprinter -

“My toxic trait is that I rarely drink water unless it’s spiked with electrolytes. Lately, I’ve been loving Kylie Jenner’s new hydration-boosting blends — not only do they keep you hydrated, but they also give your skin a nice little boost with bioactive collagen peptides and hyaluronic acid. All three flavors are delicious, but Strawberry Lychee is my go-to.” — RL

The Stay-Fresh Essential

Secret Fresh Invisible Solid Antiperspirant - Lime It Up

Walmart -

“I don’t usually stray from my go-to deodorant, but, in this case, I’ll make an exception. I can’t imagine a more perfect festival beauty product than one that a) keeps you fresh and b) smells like your favorite drink. Secret’s Miami Mocktails Collection features its signature 72 hours of protection, upgraded with mocktail-inspired scents. As a margarita girl, I’ll definitely be reaching for Lime It Up.” — RL

The Foolproof Festival Mani

Katie Dutra x Nail Thoughts Floral French Press On Nails

Nail Thoughts -

“Who has time for a pre-Coachella nail appointment when you’re busy outfit planning and strategizing your festival game plan? Enter Nail Thoughts press-ons, which last about a week and take minutes to apply. This colorful flower-topped French set is pure swag (ahem).” — RL

The Set & Protect Savior

tarte creaseless SPF 30 mineral powder

Sephora -

“Any friend of mine will tell you I don’t play around when it comes to SPF reapplication. Meet the product that makes it a cinch — *and* doubles as a setting powder that doesn’t crease or even budge after hours of dancing in the heat. It’s become a must-have for my purse.” — RL

The Frizzy Hair Hero

Drybar Final Call Frizz & Static Control Mist

Ulta -

“Heat and humidity are my hair’s biggest rivals, so I always travel with an anti-frizz spray. Drybar’s Final Call is my current go-to. I could easily sweat it out to Sabrina Carpenter without any flyaways ruining the vibe.” — Kaitlin Cubria, deputy editor of experiences & style, Bustle & Elite Daily

The Glow-Getting VIP

Sublime Shimmer Oil

Tory Burch -

“I recently got the Tory Burch Sublime Shimmer Oil, and I’m completely obsessed. It’s so sparkly and is the perfect finish for any skin-baring outfit, especially for décolletage- and collarbone-forward tops. It’s also infused with the brand’s Sublime scent and practically doubles as a fragrance if you need more convincing. I *will* be glistening in photos, TYVM.” — Alyssa Lapid, fashion writer

The Beach Wave Shortcut

ghd Wave Triple Barrel Deep Waver

Ulta -

“Sorry, flower crowns, but my prediction is that everyone at Coachella this year will be rocking mermaid waves — and there’s no easier way to get that romantic, tousled finish than with ghd’s Triple Barrel waver. It always leaves my hair feeling soft, not fried, thanks to the dual temperature sensors. And the result? Less crimped, more Kylie Jenner.” — Emma Stout, beauty writer

The Afternoon Pick-Me-Up

Lemme Matcha: Energy B12 Gummies

Ulta -

“Calling it now: My 3 p.m. crash is officially dealt with. These gummies taste exactly like a vanilla matcha latte, and the combo of matcha and B12 gives you a little lift without the jittery, over-caffeinated feeling. They might even sub in for your usual caffeine fix when the festival lines are too long.” — ES

The No-Budge Lip Marker

Summer Fridays Flushed Lip Stain

Sephora -

“My makeup usually ends up looking like arts and craft time anyway, so why not finish it off with a marker? Summer Fridays’ new lip stain has a felt tip that’s compact on one side and fluffier on the other, so you can outline with precision or flip it to blur things out. I store it upside down so the tip doesn’t dry out, then throw a gloss on top. Even with other products layered over it, the stain sticks around through eating, singing along to Justin Bieber — all of it.” — ES

The Friction Fix

Fur Chafe Cushion

Ulta -

“If you’re doing Coachella right (aka walking 20K steps in tiny shorts), this is a non-negotiable. One swipe creates an invisible buffer that actually lasts around four hours before I need to reapply. The formula also contains niacinamide, which helps brighten the discoloration my thighs have already picked up. Basically, it’s prevention and damage control — and I’m not leaving my house without it.” — ES

The Glitter Hair Moment

Eva Nyc Kweeen Gold Hair & Body Glitter Spray

Ulta -

“I love glitter hair, but only if it doesn’t look crunchy. This one has finely milled particles, so it’s more of a shimmer than chunky sparkle — and the spray isn’t sticky, so you can use it all over your body. (I like to mist it on a spoolie and run it through my brows, too.) There’s a subtle vanilla scent, which is an unexpected bonus. And now that it comes in gold? I’m even happier.” — ES

The Desert Lip Defense

Naturium Phyto-Glow Lip Balm SPF 45

Ulta -

“Sunscreen is a given at any music festival, but lips are where people tend to drop the ball. Luckily, Naturium’s Phyto-Glow Lip Balm SPF 45 makes it easy. It doesn’t have that chemical taste — it’s more minty-vanilla — and the texture is glossy but genuinely hydrating, thanks to ingredients like shea butter and squalane. The wide, flat applicator hugs my lips, and I’ve found myself using it even when I’m not going outside. Because who doesn’t want a juicier, plumper pout all the time?” — ES

The Purse-Friendly Perfume

Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 62™ Jelly Perfume Balm

Sephora -

“I didn’t think I needed a jelly version of Cheirosa 62, but now I can’t go anywhere without it. It’s the same warm, sweet pistachio-caramel-vanilla blend as the brand’s Bum Bum cream and body mist — just in a stick you can toss in your purse and swipe on whenever. The scent stays close to the skin, so it feels cocooning in a crowd. Plus, it’s slightly cool to the touch, and the bouncy texture holds up in the heat.” — ES

The Pop Star Sparkle

HALF MAGIC Self-Adhesive Face Gems

Ulta -

“Another Coachella prediction? Face gems. Not exactly groundbreaking, I know, but between Euphoria coming back and Zara Larsson’s world domination, it feels inevitable that rhinestones will be paired with bright, blown-out eyeshadow again. Courtesy of Donni Davy, the makeup artist behind the show, Half Magic’s self-adhesive face gems make the look foolproof. They actually stay put all day, even through sweat — no glue or mid-set touchups required.” — ES

The Baddie-On-A-Budget Pick

9-Pan Palette - Blue Moon

ColourPop -

“Blue eyeshadow is having a major moment thanks to Madelyn Cline’s dreamy glam in Sabrina Carpenter’s new ‘House Tour’ music video. The look is perfect for a weekend in the desert, since the cerulean shade does all the talking. Plus, you can apply with a brush — or simply swipe it on with your fingertips if you’re late to a performance.” — Carolyn Steber, lifestyle writer

Lauren Conrad established herself as a fashion girl in 2004, on Season 1 of MTV’s iconic reality show Laguna Beach. In the 22 years since then, many of the styles she wore back in high school have made a comeback — but in her eyes, some things are better left in the past.

Ahead of the Laguna Beach reunion special, premiering April 10 on The Roku Channel, the now-40-year-old tells Bustle that her clothing brand, LC by Lauren Conrad, would “never do super low-rise” jeans again. However, her team has plans that should still satisfy that nostalgic itch for many millennials. “We’re working on a mid-rise [jean] right now, which for my customer feels low,” she says. “For me too.”

Even though micro-rise denim is not in the cards for Conrad’s line, she’s planning to make at least one Y2K trend accessible and modern. “We’ve started incorporating more going-out tops, those kind of more feminine frilly tops that you pair with jeans, which we used to love so much. A lot of that white eyelet ruffle that we would mix with pieces,” she says. “It’s funny, sometimes we’ll look at the mood board and I’ll be like, ‘Oh my gosh, it's coming back.’”

While she left reality TV behind 17 years ago — after starring on the Laguna Beach spinoff, The Hills, from 2006 to 2009 — Conrad’s fashion game is stronger than ever, having designed her Kohl’s line for nearly two decades. “We work on three collections at a time,” she says. “We’re usually working on the concept for one, design for the next month, and then finalization. There are a lot of moving pieces.”

Despite the fast turnaround, Conrad wants each drop to tell “its own story.” “We always want to make sure that it complements the month before and after because we know it’ll sit on the floor together, but we want it to feel different enough that it feels like a refresh,” she says. “We spend a lot of time looking at trends and developing it through our own lens.”

Conrad chalks up her longevity in the fashion world to two things: luck and good timing. “I think the industry has changed a lot, and I honestly don’t think they give out the type of deals that I have anymore,” she says. “Companies have learned that short investments pay off more so they can bring in new talent. I was very lucky to have this partnership a long time ago when people spent more time building a brand, so I’m now at the point where it can stand on its own.”

Not all accessories are created equal. While you can mix and match your earrings, necklaces, and rings as often as you change your clothes, a watch is typically more of a commitment. They’re notoriously expensive, so choosing one that’s right for you is kind of a big deal. Thankfully, 2026’s top watch trends cater to so many aesthetics. (Bonus: They basically double as traditional jewelry.)

Romantic pink options are gaining popularity this year, with celebs like Rihanna wearing rose gold timepieces. Leather straps are also making a major comeback, courtesy of everyone’s renewed interest in Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, who made her Cartier Tank Louis a key part of her look. Then there are cocktail watches, aka the bracelets of the horology industry, which have been making their rounds on multiple style stars in recent months.

Below, you’ll find these bold trends and more watch styles to shop this year. Your future self (and maybe even your children) will appreciate the investment.

Rose Gold

More lovingly referred to by watchmakers as “pink gold,” the dusty rose metal continues to gain traction in the horology space. (Shout-out to celeb ambassadors Rihanna and Victoria Beckham for putting them on fans’ wish lists.) They’re not reserved for “trendier” styles, either — watchmakers have been introducing their heritage designs in the metal of the moment.

Embrace femininity and romance by going the pink-on-pink route à la the Movado Velura Mini, or channel a more modern vibe with rosy straps and contrasting black elements.

Cocktail Watches

Formerly relegated to eveningwear, the cocktail watch has proved to be a much more versatile timepiece than a nighttime add-on. Often characterized by dainty, feminine details, including slimmer straps and intricate design elements, other options are even generously frosted with all sorts of precious stones.

Consider a Cartier Baignoire for a simple skinny gold cuff or a Chanel Première Galon — as seen on Sarah Pidgeon and Tessa Thompson — for an angular dial with a twisted cuff.

Leather Straps

Leather straps are also making a comeback, largely due to the Carolyn Bessette Kennedy effect. CBK rocked a black-and-yellow gold Cartier Tank Louis. (Her mother-in-law, Jackie O, also famously wore a similar Tank.)

Channel the minimalist heirloom style with a Cartier timepiece of your own or any simple leather strap option of your choice.

Wrap Watches

Since Bulgari pioneered the wraparound watch style in 1948, it’s been embraced by the epitomes of glamour, from Elizabeth Taylor to Zendaya and Anne Hathaway. Like other timepiece designs, it comes in an array of hues and dial styles, including bedazzled options and multiple coils.

While it can be dressed down, the snakelike coiled band especially shines during more glamorous events, like cocktail parties and red carpets. Even in the most dramatic outfit, this watch will be the pièce de résistance.

Square Face

With roots in the art deco movement, square-face styles have been around for more than a century, but they haven’t fully infiltrated closets until a few years ago. Angular and sleek, these elegant styles are a go-to for fashionistas like Bella Hadid who prefer cleaner lines and a more minimalist style moment.

Thanks to their ever-growing popularity, square-face watches also come in an impressive range of price points, catering to every fashion girl’s budget.

April’s main character energy is bringing out your bold side. The month kicks off with a serene full moon in Libra on April 1, helping you balance your personal needs and your loyalty to your circle. Keeping the peace and establishing mutual agreements before the heat of the season truly kicks in is a major priority.

Beginning on April, Mars rages through reckless Aries, offering a shot of adrenaline. You may feel assertive, brave, and capable of launching toward a goal that is so ambitious it scares you. But if you don’t look before you leap, you may wind up initiating a project or argument you don’t want to finish.

You’re not one to back down from a challenge when Mercury follows Mars’ lead and enters Aries on April 14. The unfiltered and impulsive energy peaks. Think twice before hitting send on a scathing text or blunt email that could fall into the wrong hands.

April 17 brings the vulnerable new moon in Aries, marking an insecure start to a new chapter. When you stop apologizing for who you are, you’ll discover that you never needed to be perfect to get what you want — just courageous.

Finally, the sun shifts into grounded Taurus, bringing a sense of stability and calm to help you find a steady routine. Focus on sustaining what you’re already building. New pursuits can wait.

The last week of the month brings an energizing twist. Love planet Venus enters chatty Gemini on April 24, followed by Uranus’ pivotal return to Gemini on the 25th. The line between flirting and brainstorming is thin. Embrace the unexpected — you could attract compliments or a date simply by sharing your curious ideas and endless questions.

Happy birthday, Taurus!

Aries (March 20-April 18)

Consideration is the word of the month for you, Aries. Taking your time to understand an alternative point of view may lead to compromise, proving that cutting ties isn’t always necessary. However, when Mercury and Mars break into your sign, this reactive combo could bring out your blunt side. Try not to steamroll your friends with your opinions — what’s best for you may not be what’s right for others.

New moons represent new chapters, but this one on the 17th is not the time to launch a personal rebrand. Get real about the feelings driving your instinct to switch up your appearance or aesthetic. Is that emerging from a place of insecurity or confidence? Lucky for you, the month ends with flirtatious energy. If you’re still feeling bold, initiate a conversation with the coolest person in your neighbourhood.

Taurus (April 19-May 19)

If you’ve finally wrapped up a grueling project in early April, consider finally booking that full-body massage. It’s time to take it easy after such an intense start to the year and prioritize a little TLC. With the planets storming through Aries, you’ll find that your energy or motivation is at an unusual low—don’t fight the feeling. Let yourself rest, or you might find yourself picking fights out of frustration or exhaustion.

When it comes to confronting your hidden insecurities or fears, it’s now or never! The new moon on the 17th provides a clean slate. Move forward with greater self-honesty, and by the time your season rolls around on the 19th, you’ll remember how liberating it is to own your struggle.

Gemini (May 20-June 19)

The heart wants what it wants. Start your month with honesty and express yourself under the Libra full moon on the 1st. Share your true feelings with a partner, or go public with your art or music. The more you follow your gut, the happier you’ll be. But be warned — steer clear of making assumptions. Otherwise, arguments may arise.

Mid-month, you have the green light to put yourself out there and forge new connections. Speak openly about your goals, even if they’re daunting; sticking to your plans is easier when there are people to hold you accountable. Dream big, but don’t sacrifice rest for success.

Cancer (June 20-July 21)

The month starts with a moment of leadership. You could settle a family matter, finalize a move, or bring two people into agreement. While you’re on a high, keep the winning streak going and politely negotiate a work-from-home structure that supports your needs. When the energy shifts from peaceful to powerful around mid-month, you may feel both inspired by the future yet uncertain of what it holds. Don’t worry about getting ahead of the curve; take life one day at a time.

When a career opportunity presents itself, don’t talk yourself out of it. Readiness is an attitude, not a perfect moment. Get inspired by those who see the potential in you, and remember, you can always lean on your community or team for support if you stumble along the way.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 21)

You’ve got more than a lot to say about the current state of the world in April. But you must share your voice with those who can create change rather than preaching to the choir. If you’re prepared to step up as a leading voice, take care and advocate with a greater sense of responsibility. It may be tempting to match people’s aggression, but stooping to their level won’t lead to progress.

When Taurus season begins on the 19th, maintaining a respectable reputation is just as important as asserting yourself. Yet you may discover that the best way to uplift your community is through joy, connection, and celebration. Spend more time with those who get you, rather than trying to win over those who don’t understand.

Virgo (Aug. 22-Sept. 21)

Things are getting intense! Conversations may quickly spiral out of control this month, especially if you’re dealing with sensitive matters. Avoid all money talks until your head is clear, and resist the urge to retaliate if someone else decides to play dirty. Their heat-of-the-moment attacks are more a reflection of them, not you.

If you’ve handled your time or money irresponsibly, you may feel the karmic weight of your choices as the month progresses. As painful as it may be, this is a learning experience you’ll never forget, and one that could set you up for future success. Get smarter about how you assess and mitigate risks. As the month ends, someone else may learn from your experience if you decide to share your journey.

Libra (Sept. 22-Oct. 21)

Successfully advocating for your needs may leave you feeling empowered. But once you’ve gotten a taste for putting yourself first, you could unknowingly turn a blind eye to your loved one’s feelings. It’s all about balance this month. Check your ego at the door and have an honest, open-minded conversation. Remember that they’re your collaborator, not your competitor.

Love and intimacy could take a surprising turn during the second half of the month. If you aren’t exploring how power struggles fare in the bedroom, you could fall for a passionate idea or invest heavily in a spontaneous trip. If your next adventure involves your partner, keep them in the loop rather than springing your decision on them at the last minute.

Scorpio (Oct. 22-Nov. 20)

Releasing a grudge or confessing a secret isn’t just for the sake of others’ clarity — it sets you free. Begin your month with some compassionate truth-telling. Vent to someone who understands your struggle or disarm your inner critic by journaling through your worries.

Your wellbeing becomes an increasing priority as the month progresses. When you’re crushing your to-do list, don’t forget to take breaks for food, water, movement, and rest. That crick in your neck is your body’s signal to slow down. Pay attention to its cues and lean on your coworkers or loved ones to keep you strong during hard days.

Sagittarius (Nov. 21-Dec. 20)

Romance steals the spotlight this April. If you notice someone intriguing, make a move! Your bold side is rearing to the surface, but rushing through the early dating stages could backfire. Beware of moving too fast or coming on strong.

On the flip side, mid-month brings hesitance and uncertainty. What may feel like fear talking is actually your better judgment keeping you wise. Once we get into the full swing of Taurus season after the 19th, it’ll be easier to weigh up your changing priorities. Think twice before cramming your schedule with commitments. Organization will protect you from overwhelm.

Capricorn (Dec. 21-Jan. 18)

A major career shift or public declaration sets the tone for your month, but this transition isn’t about ambition — it’s about protecting your peace. Celebrate how far you’ve come, even if you can’t continue your journey any further. Your energy may naturally move toward keeping busy with home projects, plans, and family events. But during this sensitive season, misunderstandings or setbacks could hit harder than usual. Don’t personalize it. Everything happens for a reason.

Watch your temper as Taurus season draws near. Channeling your fire through artistic projects, passionate hobbies, and romance will help you feel lighter. Then, once love planet Venus drifts into airy Gemini on the 24th, you may be re-inspired to take up work or responsibilities that you truly love. Keep your happiness at the forefront.

Aquarius (Jan. 19-Feb. 17)

Whether you’re completing a course or mediating a tense debate, your wisdom will shine at the start of the month. It’s easy to stay calm and impartial when you’re the third party involved, but when Mercury and Mars fire up harsh truths around mid-month, you may need to heed your own advice. Take a deep breath. Talking a mile a minute is how you lose your point rather than make a clear stance.

Everyone is battling something; that’s why demonstrations of courage are revered. Be bold! Light the way by leading with vulnerability instead of pretending you have everything figured out. Initiating a difficult conversation or stepping into a new environment could spark a new hobby, passionate idea, or exciting love affair.

Pisces (Feb. 18-March 19)

It’s better to get straight to the heart of the matter rather than delay conversations about boundaries, reciprocity, or trust. Your partners and collaborators will be more responsive to your needs at the start of the month. However, the real challenge comes later, when the line goes blurry, and you’re forced to uphold and reinforce it. Stand tall and advocate for what you want, whether that’s respect or your fair share.

As mid-month’s hot and impulsive energy fires up your financial life, you may be motivated to earn and spend big. Steer clear of purchases that may not sound good in a few weeks, especially if they’re driven by a competitive urge. Setting a budget may be uncomfortable at first, but it’ll keep you stable toward the end of the month. Notice your fleeting desires without racing to act on them.

If you’re confused about the state of MomTok, you’re not alone. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is in total disarray, from a cast member’s messy divorce to Taylor Frankie Paul’s ongoing domestic violence investigation, which caused Hulu to pause filming Season 5.

Jen Affleck recently moved to Orange County, where she’s reported to be leading a new Mormon Wives spinoff, and not long after, her castmate Mikayla Matthews followed suit. Whitney Leavitt is starring in the Broadway show Chicago, with no plans to leave New York anytime soon, and that’s led some fans to advocate for a Whitney in the City-like spinoff.

However, there’s enough drama in Salt Lake City to fill a whole season, like Jessi Draper finally getting divorced — only to kiss her co-star Miranda Hope’s ex-husband. Not only should Hulu get cameras back up ASAP, but they should make MomTok come back home, and keep the Mormon Wives in Utah.

To be clear, I’ll follow this cast in any form we get. I’d happily watch Whitney take over the Big Apple or Taylor even if she moves to, like, South Dakota to get away from her ex. And the Mormon Wives spinoff focusing on the Mormon community in the OC (my hometown) is a genius idea. In the words of Dance Moms’ Abby Lee Miller, “We’re all gonna have fun,” no matter where these girls live.

But The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives reaches true greatness when the original cast is home, or at the very least, traveling as a unit. In Sex and the City terms, Utah is practically the tenth Mormon Wife (or ninth, if you no longer consider Demi Engemann a part of the cast), and the show just might not have the same impact if there are so many spinoffs keeping them away from each other.

The drama wouldn’t hit as hard if the whole group weren’t there to give us every side of the story and get through it together. Even Whitney acknowledged how much cameras are missing while talking to Good Morning America, asking, “Do you see what’s going on in the world right now?”

There are also fewer chances for the girls to make their silly TikTok dances when spread out across the country, which is what this entire show was founded on. Mormons doing ketamine therapy has much less shock value on the East or West Coasts, where most wouldn’t bat an eye. Plus, are they still Mormon Wives in a place that doesn’t have the dirty soda shop, Swig? I’m genuinely not sure.

According to TMZ, some of the cast are ready to film again, which is a sign in the right direction. But now, only five of the ladies are still in Utah, and who knows if they’re willing to film with Taylor yet, given her situation. It would be a shame for MomTok to split up just two years into the show’s run, when Mormon Wives has so much life (and drama) left to give. So Hulu, do whatever it takes to get them home, even if it means holding back on spinoffs for now.

At just 23 years old, Jenna Ortega has already cultivated quite the resume, flexing her penchant for horror through X, the Beetlejuice sequel, the Scream films, and, of course, her Emmy-nominated lead role in Wednesday. But as it turns out, the actor once considered stepping away from the field altogether.

During an April 8 appearance on Big Bro with Kid Cudi, the host — and Ortega’s X castmate — asked if she’d ever doubted her path as an actor.

“When I was a teenager, I’d gotten off of a children’s show, and I didn’t know what I was gonna do,” she said. (Ortega starred on Disney Channel’s Stuck in the Middle from 2016 to 2018.) “I had to prove myself and meet all these new casting directors who didn’t know who I was. And it just felt like a good time to call it quits, if I was going to.”

Ortega was also about to start high school, and said she’d had “a good run” as an actor, but then she booked the role of Ellie Alves on You Season 2.

“I went on the set, and I loved it, and had the best time,” she said. “And then I thought, Yeah, there’s no way I could let this go.”

Getting Real About The Industry

Ortega acknowledged that her desire (albeit temporary) to leave acting was “a really easy thought to have,” as “there’s so much that comes with the job that no one can really prepare you for.”

She’s been open about some of those realities in recent years. Of the time following Wednesday Season 1, for example, she told Harper’s Bazaar: “To be quite frank, after the show and trying to figure everything out, I was an unhappy person. After the pressure, the attention — as somebody who’s quite introverted, that was so intense and so scary.”

After the young actor courted controversy for her remarks about changing lines on the Wednesday set, she told Vanity Fair that she “could have used my words better.”

The aftermath felt “dystopian,” Ortega said. “I felt like a caricature of myself.” But, she went on to acknowledge: “You’re never going to please everybody, and as someone who naturally was a people pleaser, that was really hard for me to understand. Some people just may not like you… and that’s entirely fine.”

You would think that if a hit comedy wrote a part for you — one that you inspired, in fact! — then receiving an Emmy nod for said role would be a personal and professional ego boost. But Robby Hoffman was already flying high.

“I always was saying, I think there’s something here,” Hoffman tells Bustle over Zoom. “So when people jumped on [after the Emmy nomination], like, ‘Could you believe it?’ I’m like, I can believe it! I knew I wasn’t wrong.”

Hoffman, 36, joined the cast of HBO Max’s Hacks in Season 4 as Randi, a new assistant at Schaefer & LuSaque. Despite the character’s lack of showbiz savvy — “Till last week, I’d never even seen a movie!” she admits — Randi quickly catches up, lending integral (and hilarious) perspective to the team in the show’s fifth and final season (out April 9).

The return of Hacks arrives at an exciting time for Hoffman. Fresh off her Netflix stand-up special Wake Up and her turn on the campus comedy series Rooster, she’s about to go on tour and is cowriting and starring on her own upcoming HBO show, Unentitled. Her personal life is just as buzzy. She recently celebrated her one-year wedding anniversary with Bachelorette alum Gabby Windey, who’s currently hosting Love Overboard on Hulu.

“I’m huge on celebration. She gets an audition, I go, ‘Babe, we’re going out.’ We celebrate everything,” Hoffman says. “That’s something I learned from my brother. My first show that I sold, I really wanted to have a watch. I was always thinking about a watch ... and I was like, I don’t know if I should buy myself a nice watch.”

But her brother (she’s one of 10 children!) pointed out that it’s important to prioritize yourself. “He goes, ‘I always like to lease as nice a car as I can afford. I don’t take the base model. I’m taking care of my family, this is my one treat.’ So we celebrate a lot.”

That spirit of celebration is infectious when I chat with Hoffman, from her relationship’s reality DNA (“She had 25 boyfriends. And guess who got the final rose?”) to her cat Nom, who she doesn’t mind saying is the best cat. (“A lot of cats are very scary; they scratch. You could put my cat’s paw in your mouth — nothing would happen.”) And even as she experiences a new scale of professional buzz, she’s grounded by those who have been laughing with her all along.

“People come to my shows, and that’s always been where the people know me, but Hollywood didn’t know me,” Hoffman says. “And now the people get to see, We were on this! So it’s just been really fun.”

Below, Hoffman opens up about thrifting, life with Windey, and her enduring love for Jennifer Aniston.

The Fast Follow With Robby Hoffman

What is the weirdest Internet rabbit hole that you’ve gone down recently?

I watch a lot of car stuff. I’ll watch somebody fix their own rock chips on a car and fill them in with the primer, the paint, the clear coat, sand it down. I just ordered my first electric sander. I consider real mechanics to be like doctors. They have to know the biology of an entire machine, and it’s insane.

I’ve only ever had used cars, so I do as much work as I can and keep on top of it. And it started under necessity, being poor — like, my first car was $3,000 and very old.

What is a TV show or movie you can’t stop trying to get people to watch?

Gab and I were watching Severance, and then we got onto a Patricia Arquette kick. I told her about Boyhood, which I also loved. Then, after Boyhood, she discovered this series called Escape at Dannemora. It’s incredible, and it’s directed by Ben Stiller. Maybe we’re 10 years late on it, but we loved it.

What’s in your fridge right now?

Nothing, bro. It’s not good. I have a steak in the fridge, but I left it before the weekend, and I was shooting all weekend, so I’m like, There’s no way it’s still good. It looks good, but I don’t think I can eat it. And that really bothers me, because it’s a $9 steak.

Have you ever had a niche celebrity crush?

Well, I think people know in the lesbian world, obviously Justin Bieber’s an icon, okay? We love Bieber. He is a lesbian king, and we stan him.

But people don’t know... our queen is Jennifer Aniston. She has been for a long time. All because she wore a belt in the ’90s — but that’s all lesbians need! I don’t even think Jennifer Aniston knows this, but she must: The lesbians love and respect her. Even through all the drama, she carried on being pure class, and she kept wearing a belt. She has been consistent, and we appreciate that.

What is the most specific gift that you’ve ever received?

My mother is extremely eccentric, a real Luddite. She sent me the World Book double-volume dictionary that is just huge, with a whole inscription about the importance of a good dictionary in the year of 2026. She could not believe I didn’t have one. My mother is only in her 60s but is going on at least [age] 110. Just like I’m either 73 or 7, people don’t really know.

What’s your most worn item of clothing?

I wear these pants every day. They’re $11 Tommy Hilfiger charcoal pants from Depop. I buy all of my clothes used. This long-sleeve shirt is actually a Dior shirt that I got for $60 at a store in Scottsdale called My Sister’s Closet. So, it could be $1,000 probably. I cut it myself to shorten it.

I’m not precious about things, but I have nice things because I buy them used. And I’ve been doing that my whole life. People are starting to get to know my clothes. Like, “Oh! Robbie’s in her good shirt.” Like, the shirt I got married in was the shirt I wore on John Mulaney. And the shirt Gabby got me for Christmas I wore to our anniversary and on Kimmel. It’s a good shirt! I’m gonna wear it a million times.

This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

“My novel,” I finally told my therapist one morning, 18 months after I’d started seeing him, “is about a woman dangerously obsessed with her psychotherapist.” And not just any therapist — one with questionable motives and a penchant for encouraging his patient to share details of her sexual fantasies. The man across from me didn’t look fazed. “You’ve created a character you can control,” he said. He took a beat, then added: “Because you can’t control me.” He was correct, of course. But there was more to the picture.

I knew very little about therapy when I first met Dr. Webb (not his real name). My general practitioner had recommended therapy to help with the anxiety I was experiencing around the publication of my first novel and my upcoming relocation from London to New York. My husband, Erik, had moved there a year earlier for a new job, and although I was excited about joining him, I was leaving behind a teaching role that I loved. For a year, I’d flown back and forth every school holiday, but it was too hard to be apart for long stretches at a time. “Some therapy couldn’t hurt,” I told myself as I scheduled my first appointment with one of the three therapists my doctor had suggested. Looking back, I wonder why I selected Dr. Webb. The other two therapists were women specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy. It is unsettling to imagine how different my experience would have been if I made another choice.

I felt lighter after my first therapy appointment. The anxieties and fears that I’d been keeping at bay finally found space to land with Dr. Webb. He had a soothing Irish accent and a way of listening intently, his gaze held steady. I was encouraged by his gentle approach to asking questions and guiding me through difficult emotions, and I thought this was how our work would continue. But after four consultations, Dr. Webb laid out his treatment plan: We would be doing psychodynamic therapy, which meant that I should say exactly what I was thinking and keep a record of my dreams and that he would be more silent than in our initial sessions. That was all he told me, no explanation of how this worked or what the effects could be. In our next meeting, I admitted to him that I found these instructions to be impossible. Like so many women, I had spent my life censoring myself to obtain approval. How could I be a good patient if I didn’t know what he wanted me to say?

“Perhaps you don’t know what to say to me,” he said, echoing my concern, “because you don’t know what to say to make me like you.”

“I don’t know anything about you,” I replied. And he nodded, for the first time slipping into the silence that would come to drive me mad. Over the next few months, he frequently guided our discussions away from my real-life anxieties about moving and giving up my job and toward the dynamic between the two of us: my desire to know if I was getting therapy “right,” his refusal to disclose anything at all. At this point, I began to think about him constantly — and not just inside our sessions. Did he like me? Did he care about me? Did he move on when our sessions ended, or did he think about me all week, too? I found myself longing to be held by him, a feeling that he returned with blank silence. Soon my desire to know if he cared for me began to shift into darker, more confusing, more overtly sexual fantasies. How could I have developed this deep attachment to a man I knew nothing about beyond a resume on his Psychology Today page? Shame and self-disgust began to creep beneath my skin.

“You think we’re having an affair,” he said to me. “You’ve used therapy as a project to try and make me fall in love with you.”

At first it seemed like an ordinary case of transference — the way patients project past feelings onto therapists. There is positive transference (seeing the therapist as a tender parental figure), negative transference (when the therapist seems manipulative or sadistic), or erotic transference (when the therapist becomes the object of sexual or romantic longings and fantasies). I experienced Dr. Webb as a benevolent god, a manipulative sadist, and a commanding lover all at once.

The online advice I sought out, desperate to understand what was happening to me, was clear: Patients experiencing transference must tell their therapists, and the therapists will help their clients understand what is happening as a path to easing the symptoms of the transference.

And so, after many false starts with my heart racing, and long silences where I wondered whether I’d ever be able to say the words, I told him how much I was thinking about him between sessions, gesturing at the fantasies I couldn’t shake.

This is when I should probably explain that up until this point, I hadn’t met Dr. Webb in person. All my appointments had been online.

“I wonder whether you’d like to start meeting in person,” he replied matter-of-factly.

“I’d like that,” I said, my chest tightening. I added, “But do you see your other patients a mix of online and in person?” It was my best shot at trying not to betray the enormity of what he was saying.

“It really is idiosyncratic,” he said. “But I can tell you that right now I’m seeing all my patients only online.”

And there it was: evidence that I was special to him. Or something more frightening — and thrilling: that he’d interpreted the erotic transference I’d just confessed to as an invitation.

I hardly slept the night before our first in-person appointment. When I arrived at Dr. Webb’s office, a quiet rented room in a small psychotherapy clinic in London, I was terrified. In our previous online session, he’d talked about seeing me “in the flesh,” and I was unsettled — but not deterred — by his choice of words. When he opened the door and led me through the silent corridor, no sign of another therapist or patient in the building, I did not know what I wanted more: for him to reassure me that I was safe with him or for my fantasies to come true. The reality of the appointment was far more painful and frustrating. He pressed me to tell him more of what I felt about him while at the same time giving away nothing of himself. It was as though I was stripping myself naked only to be faced with silence.

“You think we’re having an affair,” he said to me, and I shook my head, embarrassed. I did not think that, but this was the first of many instances where he told me what he thought I was thinking and, gradually, I found myself believing him. “You’ve used therapy as a project to try and make me fall in love with you,” he said to me one day a few months later. Although I tried to resist his interpretations, over the course of our in-person sessions, I started to fall for them. If I could believe that he cared for me, that I was his favorite patient even, then perhaps I could find a way to like the parts of myself that the therapy was revealing.

Occasionally, I’d have a moment of clarity and decide things were getting too intense, too weird. But when I tried to leave, he persuaded me to stay. He insisted that I give a month’s notice if I wanted to end, and in those four weeks, he’d convinced me that I would not cope without the therapy.

Confession didn’t bring relief. Instead, my body began to destroy itself from the inside out at an alarming pace.

Six months into the therapy, he began pressuring me to up our cadence to twice a week. I resisted for a few weeks, but he would not let the subject go; he attributed the tension regarding our schedule to some past behavior or desire, related to how men in the past had treated me, repeating itself. I eventually agreed, then changed my mind a day later in a fit of panic about how I’d given in to him. But he would not accept my decision to go back to my normal single weekly session. When he sent me my monthly invoice, I was surprised to see that he’d charged me for four sessions that I hadn’t attended. This was not an accident. Instead, my refusal to go along with the extra sessions, he said, meant that something from my past was playing out with him. Always, when I challenged him or questioned the purpose behind what we were doing, he told me I was turning him into a sadistic figure. Every question I asked was pathologized, a symptom of my inability to let myself need him.

And yet I kept trying to make the therapy work, the writer in me drawn to the creativity of exploring dreams and fantasies. But the reality of this was deeply painful. When I opened up, he’d ask me to dig deeper, telling me I’d feel better if I told him the intimate details of my imaginary world — particularly, it seemed, when he was at its center. And I tried, desperate to be the model patient who did as she was told.

Confession didn’t bring relief. Instead, my body began to destroy itself from the inside out at an alarming pace. An old eating disorder resurfaced. I punished my body with a feverish exercise regime, and I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. What terrified me most were my sudden and overwhelming urges to self-harm. I told Dr. Webb, of course, and asked him for support with how to stop, but his suggestion that it was an outlet for my guilt about the feelings I was having about him only intensified my compulsion.

Relief came five months into my therapy, when I moved to New York to be with my husband, and my sessions with Dr. Webb became virtual once again — with occasional in-person meetings whenever I was in London. Erik’s steady and boundless love kept me from entirely losing my grip on reality. Still, it was a source of terrible shame for me that I’d reached a place in my therapy where I believed the only person with the power to truly help me was Dr. Webb.

I had no experience of therapy prior to Dr. Webb, and — no matter how or how often I asked — he would not explain the mechanics of the work we were doing together. But I could not let go, and while one day I’d feel an urgent compulsion to leave, the next day I’d long to strengthen the connection between us. When we talked about my weight loss, he said that perhaps I didn’t know what weight to be because I didn’t know at what weight he would find me attractive. At this, I broke down, caught in a bind of hating that he had made the conversation about him but also feeling that he was correct. I did want him to find me attractive.

“I’m falling apart,” I told Dr. Webb, pleading. “Can we try something different? Can you help me find a way to cope?”

“You can fall apart with me,” he said, fanning the flames of my attachment.

But wasn’t it his responsibility to at least try to help put me back together again?

For the intimacy of therapy to feel safe, the therapist is responsible for creating a secure therapy frame, a set of consistent and predictable boundaries that provide a container for the vulnerable work to take place. For me, this was where things went wrong. I pushed at the edges of the therapy frame, testing for weak points. And I learned quickly: “Tell me how much you need me,” it felt as though he was saying, “and I’ll give you more time. Tell me your fantasy about me, and I’ll meet you in person. Try to leave, and I’ll reply to your email.”

When we talked about my weight loss, he said that perhaps I didn’t know what weight to be because I didn’t know at what weight he would find me attractive.

I had lost my ability to trust my instincts. His refusal to acknowledge that his behavior was contributing to how terrible I was feeling made me worry that I was going mad. But I could not recognize what was happening: I was addicted, stuck in a cycle of intense highs, triggered by breadcrumbs of affection — extending a session by 10 minutes, holding my hand — then followed by deep downward spirals as he rebuilt the walls.

“I want you to hold me,” I said to him in an online appointment the week before meeting him in London.

“I know you do.”

“And will you?”

“Why don’t you ask me when you see me?”

And then, sitting across the room from him a week later, I was too frightened to say the words. “I don’t usually do this,” he said, “but I want to let you know we only have a few minutes left.” I forced myself to ask him if he’d hug me, knowing I’d regret it if the session ended and I didn’t see him again for months. “I’m afraid not,” he said, “but we can shake hands.”

Later, looking back at this moment, it interested me that he’d described it as shaking hands. For what happened next was not that at all. As he held my hand, a tight grip that I did not want to end, I asked him again if he’d hug me.

“If I don’t hug you, you think there’s something wrong with you,” he said. “You can’t feel that I’m holding your hand.”

“I do feel it,” I whispered, my head close to his chest, our bodies centimeters from each other.

I knew then that I was in too deep. I felt that I’d humiliated myself by asking him to hug me, and I was angry that he’d not been clearer with me in the previous appointment. But I had another secret: A few months earlier, I had begun seeing another therapist, one who was gradually helping me trust myself. Therapy with her could not have been more different than with Dr. Webb. Although she, too, practiced psychodynamic therapy, in combination with other approaches, she always discussed how it would work with me before introducing them, giving us the space to reflect on whether I was informed and therefore could consent to the work we were doing. She was in a therapy practice in New York, and that reassured me that she had colleagues and a supervisor and clear policy documents — a stark contrast to the mysterious unknowns of Dr. Webb’s practice. She allowed me to see that my concerns were valid.

I wish I could say that solved it — I saw both therapists for about a year — but it did help me realize when I finally, truly, had to walk away. Erik and I were excited about starting to try for a baby. My New York therapist helped me with my anxieties about getting pregnant, guiding me to a place where I felt confident that I could approach all these uncertainties without falling apart. But when I told Dr. Webb that I was trying for a baby, the first thing he said was to ask if I knew that I’d get bigger when I was pregnant, sewing doubts into my mind about whether I’d cope. I realized I could not see him while I was trying to get pregnant, not if I wanted to avoid more stress than I could safely manage.

And so I left Dr. Webb, a stressful and prolonged ending that dragged on for four weeks of him trying to persuade me to stay and four further weeks of him saying he’d stay available during our session time in case I changed my mind. It took immense self-control not to return during those final four weeks, and away from him, I began to painfully stumble through all that was left unresolved. I replayed our most conflicted conversations from the past two years over and over, unable to find closure even with the help of my New York therapist. It felt as though something essential was missing from my life, as though I’d let go of a rare relationship that had shaken me to my core while at the same showing me parts of myself that I’d tried to hide for years. I thought back to his suggestion to meet in person two years earlier, seeing it in a new light. Perhaps it was an attempt to remove my shame, to show me that nothing I said to him was too much. That I was not too much.

“I’m falling apart,” I told him, pleading. Wasn’t it his responsibility to at least try to help put me back together again?

I was pregnant and into my second trimester when the grief of leaving him felt like too much to bear. I missed him and the freedom he had offered me to explore all parts of myself. At the same time, I found that I was reinterpreting his words in less obsessive ways, no longer worrying incessantly about what motivated him to treat me the way he did. I reached back out.

When I returned to his practice, it was a reassuring surprise to see that Dr. Webb was as content talking with me about motherhood as he was encouraging me to share the details of my fantasies. We took a few weeks at the start to discuss how our work might be different during my pregnancy, and although he never explained any ways that he might change his approach, I could tell that he was listening to me. The way each session ended became kinder and less abrupt. He was willing to play a part in discussing the transference with me rather than leaving me to try and understand it on my own. Pregnancy and then motherhood helped me see him as an ordinary man, no longer a god or savior or sadistic lover. I stopped pushing at every boundary, and he found a gentler approach to our work together.

Did writing The Model Patient, my novel about a dangerous relationship between a therapist and patient, give me the understanding I needed to be able to move forward in my therapy? Did it give me the control I craved in our dynamic? I will never be certain. I started writing the novel during my first year of therapy, when our relationship was at its most confusing and volatile, and at that time, a creative outlet felt essential, my own way to contain the chaos of my emotions when the therapy felt too much. But I know now that an intellectual understanding is very different from an emotional one, and all the theory in the world is not a protection from the retraumatizing effects of an intense transference-based therapy relationship.

“Did I need to suffer so acutely for us to find a way to where we are now?” I asked him not long ago.

“You’re still angry with me,” he replied in his typical way of not answering my questions.

Yes, I’m still angry with him. But perhaps therapy needs anger if it is to reach into the most tender, hidden parts of oneself. Or do I tell myself this to justify my decision to stay with Dr. Webb? I do know that for many months after returning to him, the only person who knew I’d gone back was my husband, Erik. It took several more months before I told my New York therapist, and even longer before I told close friends and family. How could I explain that I’d willingly reengaged with the man who had caused me so much pain? Although Erik continues to believe that Dr. Webb is negligent, is dangerous, and completely failed in his duty of care, I like to think that there is no danger anymore. Now, with the raw wounds of the first two years healing, I trust Dr. Webb, but more importantly, I trust myself. When our 50 minutes end each week, I can stand up, take a deep breath, and get on with my day.

The Model Patient will be published on April 14 by Union Square & Co., a division of Hachette.

Fashion is in its maximalist era. After years of quiet luxury-driven basics and neutrals, all sorts of patterns are finally trending again. Buzzy animal prints lead the pack, from predatory tigers and leopards to elusive deer. But more and more, abstract graphics are finding fans among style stars. The latest pattern to start showing up on all your faves? Houndstooth.

The jagged, checkered design has long been associated with elegance, thanks to Princess Diana’s approval and Dior making it one of the brand’s staple prints. Though it enjoyed a brief renaissance in the late 2000s (primarily due to Alexander McQueen and Blair Waldorf), it’s since been relegated to the confines of office attire — until now.

Angel’s Houndstooth Co-Ords

On Tuesday, April 7, the print was seen on Angel Reese while she was in New York for the unveiling of her new Victoria’s Secret campaign — the first WNBA athlete to star in one. To commemorate the milestone, she wore houndstooth co-ords, which included a belted boxy jacket and a knee-length skirt with an exaggerated asymmetrical side slit. The ‘fit showed a peek of her black brassiere (a VS nod), which paired nicely with her pointed-toe pumps in the same noir shade.

She’s Not The Only Fan

Style stars have slowly been incorporating the two-toned style into their 2025 wardrobes. Anya Taylor-Joy, for example, wore not one, but two houndstooth ‘fits last year. She paired a dramatic cape with a matching printed mini to attend Dior’s Spring/Summer 2026 show, and wore a skirt set months prior.

Paige DeSorbo, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Heidi Klum were also spotted rocking the print throughout 2025.

Take Your Pick

If you’re influenced to give houndstooth a try, there are so many ways you can make it seem fresh. For a more modern take, consider doubling up on the pattern in co-ords like Taylor-Joy and Reese, or matching your accessories to your clothes à la DeSorbo. And don’t be afraid to mix checkered sizes, either, or play with colors.

French tip nails are one of those rare beauty mainstays — up there with red lipstick — that will never go out of style. They’re très chic, polished, and go with everything. But let’s be honest: When was the last time you actually felt excited walking out of the salon with one?

That’s the thing: French tips always look good, but they don’t always feel like a choice — more like something you default to when you don’t know what else to get, or something you’ve been getting on autopilot for the past decade. So if the classic is starting to feel a little too predictable, say hello to “reverse French tips” — the update that’s a (literal) 180-degree shift from the original nail design.

What Is A Reverse French Tip?

Reverse French manicures aren’t exactly new — they’ve been in the mix alongside other iterations like micro and invisible tips for years — but they tend to resurface right on cue, especially when the vibe inevitably swings back to light, clean nails in the spring and summer months.

The idea behind a reverse French tip is simple: Instead of painting a line across the tip of the nail, the detail traces the cuticle. It’s not filled-in or chunky like a half-moon, but rather a thin line that frames the base of the nail and subtly creeps up the edges.

It’s understated, but it makes a classic French feel more intentional, which is exactly where nail art trends have been heading. Rather than piling on 3D charms, the focus has shifted to negative space and graphic details that prove less can do more.

Reverse French tips also happen to be one of the easier nail designs to DIY. A steady hand and a small brush or nail pen will get you there — just don’t expect it to be totally low-maintenance. Because the line sits right at the cuticle, the grow-out is more noticeable. But this one is about the look, not the longevity — and the results speak for themselves.

Reverse French Tip Nail Inspo

The best part about the trend is that it doesn’t ask you to abandon your usual taste. If you’re a neutral nail person, it works. If you like a little color, it works. Even chrome lovers can get in on the action.

Keep it classic and clean with a crisp white line that stays true to the original blueprint.

Or, add a sliver of chrome for an edgier take — either with a neutral base or a pop of color for more contrast.

Butter yellow is always a great polish choice for spring, and along the cuticle, it adds just enough freshness to wake up the whole look.

A tortoiseshell base with a green cuticle line feels slightly unexpected — but still definitely works.

Can’t pick a side? Mix classic and reverse French tips for a mani that keeps your eyes moving.

Polka dot stans will love this option, which swaps the usual line for a row of tiny dots.

Multi-colored French tips have been trending, so flipping the placement keeps it feeling fresh. A pastel palette makes it airy instead of overwhelming.

On the other hand, the design pops in monochrome, with a thicker cuticle outline that makes everything more playful.

When The Testaments star Lucy Halliday watched the pilot episode for the first time, the 22-year-old actor was sitting elbow to elbow with The Handmaid’s Tale creator herself. “I remember being so excited. And then, the second the opening credits came up, I just went, ‘Oh, no,’” she tells Bustle over Zoom from her sunny London flat. “It suddenly dawned on me that this was the Margaret Atwood.”

Luckily, Atwood loved the episode, much to the relief of Halliday, who has been a fan of the award-winning author since childhood. In Hulu’s The Testaments, set 15 years after The Handmaid’s Tale, the actor plays Daisy, a Canadian teenage rebel, alongside Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd) and Agnes (Chase Infiniti), as they try to dismantle the disintegrating Gilead from within.

“I really admire [Daisy’s] tenacity and fire, and she’s very sharp-witted, and she knows what she wants, and that really drew me to her,” Halliday says. “I do think Daisy’s cooler than me.”

Although she grew up performing in youth theater in her hometown of Paisley, just outside of Glasgow, Scotland, Halliday didn’t always consider acting her top priority. She was studying medicine at the University of Glasgow while secretly “kicking [herself]” for not giving acting a real shot. That is, until she serendipitously came across a casting call for the 2022 indie film Blue Jean on Instagram.

“They wrote a very detailed description of Lois, and I didn’t match any of it, but I sent a very ballsy email to the casting director being like, ‘I am perfect,’” she recalls. “I’ve since been told no one believed me, but they let me audition. So I taped that day, did a chemistry read the next week, and then the week after we were filming.”

Halliday’s performance as Lois, a lesbian teenager who threatens to out her closeted teacher, earned her a Scottish BAFTA and put her on the map, leading to a role in James McAvoy’s California Schemin’ and eventually to Toronto, Canada, where she filmed The Testaments.

There, she instantly built a rapport with her co-star Infiniti, who lived just a 15-minute walk away. While Halliday worked hard to shed her warm Scottish lilt for Daisy’s American accent, she says Infiniti did her best to sabotage her.

“The phrase I found the hardest to say was ‘Pearl Girl,’ specifically, ‘proper Pearl Girl.’ And I had to say that a lot, unfortunately, because I am a Pearl Girl,” she says, referring to the missionary group recruiting others to come to Gilead, whom Daisy uses to gain access to the country under false pretenses. “Whenever I had to say it, Chase would be in my ear, trying to do a Scottish accent. I was like, ‘You are setting me up for failure here.’”

If anything, The Testaments sets up Halliday with a world of opportunities. Though she misses her favorite indie cinema, The Glasgow Film Theatre, she is dreaming of working on London’s West End, and she’s not taking anything off the table.

“I don’t know if anyone would want to hear me do musicals. I think I could do the dancing bit. I’m not tone deaf, but I’m not Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried,” she says, “So, I’ll start [with a] play and see how it goes.”

You may be tired, stressed at work, and annoyed that your situationship isn’t texting back (again), but up in space there’s an astronaut naming a crater after his wife. And now everybody’s crying!

There have been several tear-jerking moments from NASA’s historic Artemis II mission on Orion, the first crewed craft designed to fly four astronauts to the moon in a 10-day test flight. It holds commander Reid Wiseman (NASA), pilot Victor Glover (NASA), mission specialist 1 Christina Hammock Koch (NASA), and mission specialist 2 Jeremy Hansen (Canadian Space Agency).

In a radio report back to mission control on April 6, Hansen shared that they wanted to “honor their mission by naming two craters on the moon.” One would be dedicated to Wiseman’s wife, Carroll Wiseman, who died of cancer in 2020 at the age of 46. He described the crater as "a bright spot on the moon” and spelled out her name as his voice cracked. They all hugged, and suddenly the internet believed in love again — which was much needed after these past few weeks online.

The sweet moment was caught on the craft’s live stream, and immediately went viral. On TikTok, several outlets shared it, including BBC News. In their comments, one person said, “He chased her to the stars and found her in the moon.” Another wrote, “Apparently, the mission objective is to emotionally wreck us all.” Under ABC’s post, someone said, “Dear NASA, today’s video was blurry.” And when PBS shared the story, a commenter wrote, “Going to ask my husband where my crater is at...”

Loved To The Moon & Back

Not only is this story out-of-this-world adorable, it’s also a perfect example of collective effervescence — aka the spike of emotion that occurs when you experience something meaningful alongside others. You might feel this at concerts or during the Olympics, so if the crater story had you wiping away tears too, this could be one reason why.

On the app, @gilli.reads sobbed as she said, “He’s immortalized her. She will be in every history book. I’m still crying every time I think about it. Love is real.” In her comments, someone said, “No, because it is that serious.”

After seeing the clip, @mariellekraft wrote a song for Carroll, complete with acoustic guitar, while others reveled in how meaningful the mission is as a whole, like @young.muppet who said, “Being in the luteal phase and watching the Artemis II moon flyby is a brutal combo.”

She went on to say, “Like what do you MEAN they flew farther from earth than humans have ever gone, named a bright crater on the moon in honor of one astronaut’s late wife, and they all got emotional so they had a big space group hug ... I was fully crying at work.”

GRWM To Go To Space

The Artemis II mission has had other awe-inspiring moments that showed just how human we all are, like when Koch radioed down to ask where her favorite hand lotion had been packed on the craft. Turns out, she was looking for a product from Jessica Alba’s brand, Honest.

The actor and entrepreneur heard about the call and in an emotional TikTok said, “Anyone out there who has any dreams of anything, just go after it. You never know! Your products can be in space!”

The Crew’s Viral Wake-Up Calls

To wake up the crew members on April 4, flight controllers blasted Chappell Roan’s 2023 hit song “Pink Pony Club,” which played through speakers to alert the astronauts that it was morning. The moment was magical, even if the broadcast did cut out a minute in. On the live stream, Wiseman quipped, “We were all early awaiting the chorus,” as so many people do.

When @people shared a clip of the song being played thousands of miles away from earth, one commenter said, “Pink Pony Club is about leaving home to pursue your dreams, so i can see why.” Another wrote, “Chappell Roan is officially out of this world.”

Otherworldly Vlogs

In another viral TikTok with two million likes, @user18060818 shared footage of the crew giving a group thumbs up as they reacted to their view of the moon. It was a cute moment aboard Orion, and one that clearly resonated with everyone back on earth.

A different clip showed Wiseman making heart hands and pointing to his friendship bracelets from his daughters, Ellie and Katherine, to which ground control replied, “Copy heart hands. Copy bracelet.” *watery eyes emoji*

Many fun moments have also gone viral showing the astronaut’s life in space as they circle the moon. CNN shared a clip of Koch showing the crew’s shrimp cocktail dinner, along with some other snacks they had to rehydrate in space. One TikTok user said, “I love that they’re vlogging.”

Following the lunar flyby and the naming of the crater, the Artemis II mission is in its last few days before Orion touches back down on April 10. The trip set a record for the furthest human space flight, at 252,756 miles, and made everyone feel connected in the process. These viral moments have helped viewers everywhere remember just how big the universe is and how small their daily complaints can feel when they take a second to look at things from a different perspective.

As you make your predictions about Bridgerton Season 5 and craft your dream #Franchaela playlists — I’m listening to them all! — Netflix is teasing further details about the show’s next love story.

On April 8, the streamer revealed three new cast members who will accompany Francesca and Michaela’s journey.

Jacqueline Boatswain will play Michaela’s mom, Helen Stirling — “the very source of her bold daughter’s spirit,” reads her character description. “Like any mama, Helen seeks to guide — and occasionally push — her daughter through London's social season, with equal measures of vivaciousness and tough love.” (If When He Was Wicked is any indication, you can likely count on Helen to be one of Franchaela’s biggest shippers.)

Michaela will also be able to lean on her friend Lady Elizabeth Ashworth, played by Gemma Knight Jones. “Beneath Elizabeth’s playful charm lies a grounded realist who is wise to the unspoken rules of society,” Netflix teases.

And beyond Michaela’s circle, another newcomer is entering the chat. Tega Alexander will play Christopher Anderson — yes, as in Lord Marcus Anderson’s son — who’s described as a “Regency-era Casanova who could give the Bridgerton bachelors a run for their money.” But he seems to be more than your cookie-cutter rake, for the show adds: “Behind his cheeky facade lies a current of self-doubt that threatens to unravel him.”

But What Does It Mean?

It’s this last addition that has Bridgerton fans particularly abuzz, with several viewers theorizing that Christopher will pursue Francesca or Michaela (or both). This could create a tension-filled love triangle as the women process their feelings, and in the book, the couple does spar about each other’s romantic prospects before realizing the root of their jealousy. That is, they’re yearning for each other!

Many fans speculated that there might be another layer to Christopher’s character, suggesting that his “facade” could be that he’s not straight himself. One Redditor suggested that Christopher and Elizabeth (who don’t appear in the books) “are going to be important in establishing queer society in London that Michaela already lives in,” similar to how Season 4 focused on a new group (the working class) to inform Sophie’s character.

As a member of Lady Danbury’s extended family, Christopher could also help usher in a character who’s important to a future Bridgerton season. Gareth St. Clair is Lady Danbury’s grandson and Hyacinth’s love interest in the book It’s in His Kiss. Though the youngest Bridgerton’s love story is still a ways off, a mention of Gareth from his cousin could be a natural (and exciting) tease for what’s to come.

The Handmaid’s Tale took its final bow last year, but the story of Gilead and the people effecting change from the inside continues in The Testaments.

Streaming now, the new Hulu series is based on Margaret Atwood’s 2019 novel of the same name. Picking up in the aftermath of The Handmaid’s Tale, the book is told through the perspectives of multiple women — each with a very different (yet ultimately intertwined) relationship to Gilead and its downfall.

While the team behind the new series has announced some key departures from the novel, it’s a thrilling story and a helpful roadmap to refer to as you watch along. Here’s a quick recap of the book ending and plot summary of The Testaments. Spoilers ahead!

Familiar Faces

The Testaments is told from three points of view.

Aunt Lydia oversees the education of Aunts at Ardua Hall while planning a scheme to overthrow Gilead from the inside. For historical record, she also opens up about her life and how she came to her position of prominence in a cruel society.

Agnes is a girl who grew up with her adoptive parents, Tabitha and Kyle, in Gilead. She had a happy relationship with Tabitha, but soon after her death, Agnes despairs at the prospect of being forced into marriage. To escape that fate, she and her friend Becka become Aunts.

Finally, Daisy grows up in Toronto with her own adoptive parents, Melanie and Neil. When they are assassinated for their work in the Mayday resistance, Daisy learns that she is actually Baby Nicole, aka the handmaid’s daughter (who Handmaid’s Tale fans know to be June), who was safely removed from Gilead as a baby. Now, the resistance wants her help sneaking back as a purported convert, so she can smuggle out damning documents that will bring about the end of Gilead.

A Harrowing Scheme

At Ardua Hall, Agnes and Nicole learn that they are half-sisters. (This would make Agnes June’s older daughter, aka Hannah.) They are sent out with the intel needed to bring down Gilead, and it works.

After a treacherous water crossing — and with the support of Becka and Aunt Lydia, who sacrifice themselves for the sake of the mission — the girls arrive in Canada and are reunited with their mother. An epilogue reveals that their mission brought about the collapse of Gilead once and for all.

The hard truth about skin care is that it requires patience and diligence to see results — especially if you’re like me and can barely contain yourself when waiting for water to boil. Getting an intense laser? Gotta wait for that post-treatment shedding before smoother, brighter skin reveals itself. Botox? The neuromodulator takes several days to a week to freeze wrinkle-causing muscle contractions.

XERF, thankfully, caters to those who love instant gratification.

If you haven’t heard of the buzzy treatment yet, know that XERF is the latest in-office procedure to land stateside from — you guessed it — Korea. Already a favorite among celebrities like Kim Kardashian, it’s quickly gaining traction for its skin-tightening, antiaging effects, all without going under the knife.

As a self-professed beauty treatment guinea pig (it is my job, after all), I had to try it. Here’s everything to know — and whether it’s actually worth the hype.

What Exactly Is XERF?

Cynosure Lutronic’s XERF is a radio-frequency-based lifting treatment, meaning it uses heat to penetrate deep beneath the skin’s surface to stimulate collagen production. It was just FDA-approved in the U.S. in August 2025, and it’s been around in Korea since it launched in 2024.

Dr. David Kim, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist and founder of Soho Derm in New York City, likens it to Thermage. “Thermage is also a radio-frequency-based treatment, but it uses only one frequency, while XERF uses two,” he explains (using 6.78 MHz and 2 MHz frequencies). “Thermage helps with superficial tightening, and it’ll stimulate collagen production, but you don’t get the deep lift you get with this one.”

In other words, it’s a noninvasive way to tighten and lift the skin.

The Benefits

According to Dr. William Harris, M.D., a double-board-certified plastic surgeon based in Beverly Hills, XERF is among the most advanced radio-frequency treatments currently available. It’s the first to deliver dual frequencies for both superficial and deep tightening — all while being light enough to not require numbing. “Historically, other radio-frequency treatments [like Thermage] have been quite sensitive for patients,” says Harris, whose patients rate XERF at a zero to three out of 10 on the pain scale.

Perhaps the biggest draw: There’s virtually no downtime. Expect a bit of redness for about an hour post-treatment, but that’s about it. Plus, the instant gratification of it all — results are visible almost immediately, with your skin looking subtly more lifted and sculpted right after your appointment. You’ll also get the added perk of seeing full results three to six months later due to collagen remodeling and production.

My treated cheekbone was undeniably higher, like that side of my face had somehow dodged gravity.

“It’s obviously not a facelift, but it’s a pretty easy, relatively pain-free treatment that you can do in the office that takes 45 minutes,” says Kim. “It’s also ideal for those who don’t want to do any injectables and just want to stimulate collagen with minimal downtime.”

Also notable? You can technically get away with just one treatment. “In Korea, it’s recommended to do two treatments one month apart, but I think you can spread it out to three months so you can experience the benefits for longer,” says Kim, adding that he suggests first getting the treatment twice a year and then once a year after that for maintenance. According to Harris, results last between 12 and 18 months.

Another major plus: Because radio-frequency energy doesn’t target pigment, XERF is generally considered safe for all skin tones when performed by a trained provider. That said, it’s not for everyone — those who are pregnant or have certain implanted medical devices (like pacemakers) should avoid it. For others, expectations matter. “Patients who have tried several energy-based devices with less-than-optimal results or who have goals that exceed the capability of the device should consider other alternatives, such as surgery,” adds Harris.

The Cost

On average, XERF will cost anywhere between $1,250 and $3,000 per session to treat the face and neck. The pricing will vary depending on your location and the provider you go to. Note that you can choose a targeted treatment that focuses on, say, your jawline, for significantly less — around $500 to $800 per session.

My Experience

Given that I’m only used to seeing instant results from facials, I went into my XERF appointment at Kim’s feeling both excited and a little skeptical. I was also nervous, since no numbing was involved. “There will be a little bit of pain,” he told me as I got comfortable in the chair. “Sometimes, if you want to do good treatments, you have to be prepared.”

After applying a conductor gel, Kim began slowly gliding the device across my skin, starting on my right jawline and cheek area. At first, it felt kind of like a stronger hot stone massage — nothing too bad. But it definitely got more intense in certain areas, mainly where there’s more bone or sensitivity. It felt like a deep, burning heat that nearly made my eyes water — but stopped just short of being unbearable. FWIW, I have a pretty low pain tolerance (despite having given birth).

Halfway through the treatment, Kim had me hold up a mirror so I could compare my XERF’d half with the other half of my face, and that’s when it really wowed me. “You can see the line from the chin to the jawline is smoother. And then, when you look at the cheekbones, the apex is like here, and [on this side] it’s down here. So it’s a little bit perkier. The same thing with the eyebrows, too.” He was right: My treated cheekbone was undeniably higher, like that side of my face had somehow dodged gravity.

Once the treatment was finished, my face wasn’t even red — it just looked like I had come in from the cold with a slight flush. My skin felt a little hot, but it cooled within five minutes. I could’ve easily gone back to the office without anyone guessing I had just experienced an in-office cosmetic procedure.

The Verdict

At this point, it’s been about three months since I got the treatment. I also got Xeomin (a neuromodulator) around the same time, so I can’t say whether my smoother, firmer complexion is solely due to XERF.

Because it stimulates collagen at such a deep level, you’ll experience a second wave of that sculpted effect once it regenerates at the three-month mark. I think this happened to me. At the very least, I’ve been low-key into my skin’s glow lately — and my cheekbones and jawline do look pretty snatched.

Really, XERF stands out in the antiaging realm for a couple of reasons — one being its ability to hit such deep layers beneath the skin without as much pain or downtime as other radio-frequency treatments. It’s also noteworthy for delivering instant results. And it’s important to point out that it’s knife- and needle-free — perhaps a rarity in today’s facelift era.

As Harris points out, this is a great option for those who don’t want or aren’t ready for more invasive procedures. “Patients who are not ready for surgery, want to avoid it, or are looking to maintain a previous face and neck lift are the best candidates for this device.”

Think of it as strengthening the scaffolding of your face — keeping everything firm and lifted, rather than layering on volume with injectables. “You don’t want to just rely on fillers and things like that to restore the volume, because that’s when you can start to look puffy,” says Kim. “This is something that can really make a big difference — you want your skin cells to stay young and stimulated.”

I will say: XERF has been the most impressive tightening procedure I’ve ever tried. Considering the results last at least a year, it’s something I’d genuinely return to in my ongoing battle against gravity.

Whoever said death and taxes were the only certainties in life clearly never booked a spring haircut. Every year, without fail, the second it hits 65 degrees, something in the air suggests that the only thing that pairs with a shorter hemline is shorter hair.

“Dramatic chops are definitely in — just ask Margot Robbie,” quips Matty Leadabrand, stylist at BENJAMIN Salon in New York. “That’s usually the case when it comes to spring, but this year, we’re feeling it more intensely as shorter haircuts are trending across the board.”

Case in point: bobs, lobs, and bixies (oh my!) are shaping up to be the styles of the season. The difference, though, isn’t just about the cuts themselves — which are softer and more lived-in — but in how people are choosing them. “Instead of celebrity references, more clients are bringing in AI-generated images of themselves with different hairstyles,” says Keita Maejima, stylist at BENJAMIN Salon in West Hollywood.

In other words, whether you’re looking for a subtle reset or to really test your chops, spring 2026 haircuts are no longer about guesswork. Ahead, eight cuts that make a refresh feel like an upgrade, not a risk.

Bubble Bixies

The most requested cut of 2026? The bixie. The bob-pixie hybrid is “soft, effortless, and versatile,” as Jerome Lordet, owner of Jerome Lordet Salon in New York, puts it — which explains why it’s been popping up on Gracie Abrams, Jessie Buckley, and Zendaya.

What to ask for: A rounded bixie with a textured finish and light layers — no harsh lines — keeping some length around the front and nape of the neck.

Ghost Layers

The haircut equivalent of no-makeup makeup? Ghost layers, which are blended to the nines and hard to clock — until you realize your hair suddenly looks better. “Fewer layers help maintain surface shine, while internal texture creates movement,” says Maejima. “The emphasis has shifted from removing weight at the top to refining the mid-lengths and ends.”

What to ask for: Long layers that start around the cheekbones or collarbones and add motion without thinning the ends.

Broken Bobs

“Bobs were very blunt and precise last year,” says Rogerio Cavalcante, owner of Second Floor Salon in New York. “Now, they’re more relaxed.” Enter the “broken bob,” which has internal texture paired with torn ends to remove heaviness. The result is a bob that moves — and one that actually looks better as it grows out.

What to ask for: A bob with soft internal layering and broken-up ends that work with your natural hair texture.

See-Through Bangs

Commitment issues usually come along with bangs, but the spring 2026 version feels like more of an accessory than a statement. “The trend has shifted to a softer, lived-in fringe,” says Lordet. “People want face-framing pieces that feel effortless, with wispy bangs that blend into the haircut instead of sitting on top as a separate piece.”

What to ask for: An airy fringe with a feathered finish that blends into the rest of the haircut — nothing too dense or blunt.

Cloud Curls

This spring is all about embracing your natural texture — bedhead and all — and nowhere is that more apparent than with cloud curls. Full of airy volume, the effect is windswept, romantic, and plush (see: Olivia Dean). “For curls and coils, it’s all about working with the natural pattern instead of trying to control it too much,” says Cavalcante, pointing to rounded shapes that feel intentional yet effortless.

What to ask for: A dry cut that follows your natural pattern with customized layering based on your curl density and shrinkage.

In-Between Lengths

With lobs and bixies trending, grown-out, in-between lengths are finally getting their flowers. For a chop that’s long enough to pull back but short enough for easy styling, try something that falls just below the collarbone á la Hailee Steinfeld and Hailey Bieber. It’s easy, swingy, and very girl-next-door — and taps into the broader shift toward better shapes and healthier ends — what Cavalcante calls “refinement rather than reinvention.”

What to ask for: A mid-length cut with minimal layers that grows out easily.

Baby Bangs

Haircuts are going shorter this spring — and bangs are following suit. Baby bangs have cropped up on celebrities like Zoë Kravitz and Ariana Grande, but in a chic, polished way that feels more Audrey Hepburn than rocker chick. “For those wanting to freshen up their fringe, the answer is to go shorter and more disconnected,” says Leadabrand, who calls it “the year of the baby bang.”

What to ask for: An above-the-brow fringe with a piecey, separated finish.

Off-Duty Shags

It’s not quite a shag, but it’s not not a shag, either. This model-off-duty iteration lands right in that sweet spot. Think the Olsen twins in the 2010s: scruffy, textured, and a little indie sleaze. “Layers are coming back in a softer way to add movement without looking overly styled,” says Carla Zuniga, senior stylist at BENJAMIN Salon in West Hollywood.

What to ask for: Longer layers with a slightly disconnected shape — enough texture to create movement, but blended enough that it doesn’t go full shag.

It seems like everyone’s been on the hunt for the perfect grandma hobby — a cozy pastime that feels slow, relaxed, and grounded. Things like crocheting, crafting, and baking sourdough have topped the list, but a new trend is emerging that may make you rethink how you view hobbies. Perhaps they don’t have to be “grandmacore” at all.

On TikTok, many women are posting about learning how to fly planes, and it’s on the opposite end of the spectrum from grandma-approved hobbies. On April 3, creator @nataliafreiree shared a post saying “I love my girl pilots.” In the clip, she shows herself arriving at an airport, fueling up a 1974 Cessna 172 SkyHawk, and taking to the skies.

In her comments, someone asked, “How do you even get into this? I want to be in this!” Someone else wrote, “This is as cool as y’all think it is.” The FYP is filled with even more pilots, like @alexa.isabelll who posts about her “niche secret hobby,” aka casually flying planes in her spare time.

On another page, @kinseywolanski shares a behind-the-scenes look at flying, including what it’s like to communicate with Air Traffic Control via her headset so she can safely take off and land. And on her TikTok, @thegirlypilot regularly posts tips for getting involved in flying to her thousands of followers.

Some of these pilots go up for quick joy rides. Others take a plane to see their friends, like @.neeloo who flew to meet her bestie as if she was simply driving a car. The hobby really is taking off — quite literally. Here’s what to know.

The Latest Hobby To Take Off

Every now and then an unexpected hobby will go viral. In 2020, it was roller skating. Then it was skateboarding. Now, the girlies love flying planes.

Thanks to social media, more people are getting a peek inside the world of aviation — something that rarely comes to mind when you think about how to spend your weekend.

When someone’s video goes viral that shows them getting their pilot’s certificate or flying their own plane to get lunch, it may land on someone’s FYP and give them a spark of inspiration.

This trend is not only the perfect personal challenge, and a way to build confidence, but it’s also one that’s surprisingly age-inclusive. Lainey Jones, an 18-year-old student at Thrust flight school, was only 16 when she took her first lesson.

Now she takes off from an airport in Texas and flies on her own for about two hours five times a week. “I love being up in the air and getting to see the places I go every day on the ground,” she tells Bustle. “It’s such a fun feeling to point down and say, ‘Look! There's my house’ or ‘There's my dog's vet!’”

On TikTok, creator @secondwindpilot said she started to fly in her 40s. “One day I just thought, why not me? Why not now?” In her comments someone said, “Same! 45. Never too late.”

Some people fly as a way to get over a fear or push their limits. Others are in it for the adrenaline.

The latter is one perk that drew Caroline Paul, a pilot and author of the book Why Fly, to the hobby when she was 21. “It gave me adventure,” the 62-year-old tells Bustle. “It gave me a new way to see the world. I wanted to be up high.”

Paul first learned how to fly in a tiny two-seater plane, then moved on to paragliders, and then gyrocopters — a tiny, helicopter-like aircraft.

She says the ability to fly improved her mental health when she went through a divorce, a topic she covers in her book. “I was basically feeling like everything on the ground was out of control, so why couldn't I learn instead to pilot this little yellow craft that would do anything I said?”

That new perspective, Paul says, helped her figure out who she was and what she wanted to do next in life.

“I thought of it as escape initially, because you escape into learning all these new controls and all these new rules,” she says. “But it's a physical escape because you're actually just getting 3,000 feet above the earth that is so troublesome below.”

The literal perspective shift of being up in the sky can change your mental point of view, too. Imagine taking flight to get your mind off a stressful meeting or flying on the weekends to decompress from a failed date. When you’re miles up in the air, all of your problems seem so small and you have to focus exclusively on the situation at hand.

Dr. Michelle Kole, a licensed psychologist and certified flight instructor, treats flying in much the same way. “I see it as a meditation,” she tells Bustle. “My mind is focused entirely in the present moment and cannot be anywhere but right here, right now. It feels like a spiritual experience to be up there with the clouds, way above any earthly concerns.”

If flying piques your interest, look into it. Or just admire the many viral TikToks that show what people are capable of.

“There are more role models than ever before,” Kole says, noting the many benefits flying brings. “Becoming a pilot will teach planning, decision-making, reasoning, and can instill confidence and self-esteem,” she says. “I highly recommend it!”

Doing the most has never been more popular. TikTok is full of “-maxxing” trends that are all about going OTT with your rituals to optimize desired results, whether that’s getting enough rest (sleep-maxxing), looking your best (looks-maxxing), or smelling good (scent-maxxing). Now, Jennifer Lawrence is ready to introduce you to your new fave for spring: color-maxxing.

J.Law’s Maximum Impact ‘Fit

While enjoying a sunny day in New York City on Monday, April 6, the Hunger Games alum stood out in casual attire comprised of not one, not two, but three vibrant colors. She paid homage to The Beatles in a vivid yellow T-shirt ($58) from Junk Food Clothing inscribed with the band’s hit song “Strawberry Fields Forever.” To complement the sunny hue, Lawrence added a striking red cardigan and coordinating white Adidas Tokyos ($90) lined with red stripes. The final colorful touch: a blue cap and near-matching jeans.

The Oscar winner did add some neutrals to the mix, in the form of her chocolate brown sunglasses and a matching Hermès Lindy bag. (The high-low styling is strong with this one.)

A Color Theory Primer

Wearing combinations of bold tones isn’t exactly new. (Remember the color-blocking ensembles of the 2010s?) But Lawrence’s all-primary colors iteration feels fresh and on point for this year, especially after the combo made the rounds on runways these past couple of seasons, including at Celine Spring 2026 and Stella McCartney Fall 2026.

Lawrence’s outfit did the heavy lifting of translating the primary color runway trend into something much more wearable. Bonus: She wore basics you likely already have in your closet. If you want to take a cue from the Die, My Love star’s relaxed take, consider wearing jeans (the low-key piece can tick the blue box), and just add touches of other hues with your accessories (see Lawrence’s hat, necklace, and sneakers).

This trend is meant to be fun. Brush up on color theory with fashion and unleash your inner maxx-imalist.

In the past two decades since The Devil Wears Prada premiered in 2005, the Internet has collectively realized that Anne Hathaway’s onscreen boyfriend Nate was the movie’s true villain, so much so that star Adrian Grenier isn’t part of the upcoming sequel.

However, it seems like there’s no bad blood on his end. The actor addressed his absence in a new Starbucks ad, created in partnership with the film, which hits theaters on May 1.

In the commercial, Grenier speaks to fans directly — or so it seems. “You might have seen the headlines. I wasn’t asked to be part of a certain sequel,” he tells the camera. “But I’m good. Really. It’s all good energy.” The camera then pans to a wide shot of a Starbucks, revealing that he’s talking to a very confused barista, who hands him one of the chain’s new Energy Refresher drinks.

In true Nate fashion, he makes things even weirder by addressing the entire coffee shop. “So a toast to Nate!” he declares. “He made a mean sandwich. He loved his girlfriend — to a point.”

At that moment, Grenier had to concede that Nate is better off left in the past. “Okay, he wasn’t perfect,” he clarified. “So let’s leave Nate in 2006, and keep this good energy going.” However, after the sequel’s logo flashed onscreen, he had a change of heart. “I mean, if they call, I’m free,” he says as the commercial ends.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 follows Hathaway’s Andy Sachs as she returns to Runway and reunites with her old boss, Meryl Streep’s Miranda Priestly, who’s trying to save the magazine by seeking funding from her former assistant and Andy’s old colleague, Emily Blunt’s iconic Emily, now the head of a major fashion label. Andy’s even moved on with a new beau, played by Patrick Brammell, meaning there was simply no room for Nate.

Grenier previously spoke out about not being written into the sequel, telling People that he had recently spoken to director David Frankel and was “disappointed” by the decision.

However, he admitted that he “can understand the sentiment” of Nate being a villain, which is precisely why he wants to explore him further. “I have to stand [up] for my character,” he said. “If Nate is actually the devil in The Devil Wears Prada, I'd like to see what his character does beyond, as a spinoff movie.”

He has an ally in Hathaway, who disagreed with the internet’s opinion. “He did behave like a brat, but I also behaved like a brat in my 20s and I hopefully grew out of it,” she said on Watch What Happens Live in 2022. “I think that that's what we all do. And I wouldn't want to be defined by my worst moment in my 20s, certainly, so I don't hold Nate as a villain, actually.”

It’s been five years since Regé-Jean Page played Simon, the dashing Duke of Hastings, in Bridgerton Season 1. His pitch-perfect performance established the Regency romance as the bona fide hit fans yearn for year after year. And while Page only appeared for one season, he still keeps up with the ton — and recently weighed in on his on-screen brother-in-law’s polarizing proposal in Season 4.

From One Reformed Rake To Another...

“I check in every now and then [on Bridgerton] because I have a lot of friends there and people I love, and they do wonderful work,” Page told DuJour while promoting his new rom-com You, Me, & Tuscany. “I’m not fully up to date, but I know enough not to be running around asking anyone to be my mistress any time soon.”

Page is, of course, referring to Benedict asking Sophie to be his mistress in Season 4 — a clumsy if well-intentioned move that fans weren’t thrilled about. (As Luke Thompson, who plays Benedict, told Bustle: “It’s a classic thing of someone feeling a push to change but getting it absolutely wrong.”)

The Duke’s Future In The Ton

Of course, Page has been open about the fact that Simon was far from a perfect gentleman himself. As he told Variety in 2022, “I think we did so well on that redemptive arc, people forget that Simon was kind of horrific for most of that series. He was the best example of a Regency f*ckboy that any of us have come across.”

Because of that growth, he said, “you’re left with this great feeling. And I think you really do have to be brave about ending stories like that.”

Even so, Daphne and Simon’s absence from future Bridgerton stories — save Phoebe Dynevor’s solo return in Season 2 — has had fans pining for the show’s debut couple to return. Dynevor, for her part, has expressed her readiness to come back. As she told Bustle last year, “I’m waiting for it. I’m not sure how Daphne would appear now, but I loved playing her.”

Meanwhile, Page has said that he’d be fine with his role being recast — but showrunner Jess Brownell has said that’s not in the cards. “We are not interested in recasting the characters,” she recently told Variety. “I think it would feel like a disservice to everything Regé and Phoebe set up in Season 1, and all the beautiful work they put into those characters.”

Still, she added, a cameo for the sake of it wouldn’t work: bringing them back “just to say a line at a funeral... wouldn’t feel right.”

If they can return for something “really meaty,” Brownell continued, she would “love to potentially have them back at some point.” However, bringing them back “just to say a line at a funeral... wouldn’t feel right.”

If there’s one thing that’s been living in Gossip Girl fans’ minds rent-free this year, it’s the upcoming Blair (book) sequel. In the weeks since it was announced, TikTokers have been posting their fan theories about a TV or movie comeback, especially after Leighton Meester recently said she’s read some of the new installment. Since the novel is currently slated for a summer 2027 release, that gives everyone plenty of time to prep-ify their wardrobes like their fave Upper East Siders — and the Bustle editors are here to help.

The consensus among the team: Blair Waldorf still reigns supreme. Queen B had academia chic nailed down, owned an enviable curation of outfits and statement coats, and shaped future It girls’ accessory collections with her affinity for headbands and colored tights. Even her lingerie game was unmatched.

Other characters were also fashion forces in their own right. Jenny Humphrey’s goth grunge era is still a reference point for many (heavy eyeliner optional). Then there was resident baddie Georgina Sparks, whose free-spirited accessorizing arguably deserved its own Emmy.

To prove the theory that Gossip Girl is more than just a nostalgia-inducing series, it’s a guiding light for style, here are some of the posh items Bustle editors are shopping and coveting this season.

Bonny Jacket

Sandy Liang -

“This top is so Blair Waldorf-coded. Between the slinky satin material, puff sleeves, and oversized buttons, it's the perfect simple-yet-sophisticated statement piece. I love that it can be dressed down with jeans or dressed up with a matching miniskirt (the latter would definitely be a Blair move).” — Rachel Lapidos, deputy editor of beauty

Chanel Tweed Jacket

Vestiaire Collective -

“Tweed is the cool-girl staple of the moment, with Kendall Jenner, Margot Robbie, and Zendaya all wearing the woven material in recent months. But Blair Waldorf walked so they could all run, wearing tweed coats and full skirt sets time and time again on Gossip Girl. A jacket is not just a want for my spring wardrobe, it's a need. Catch me wearing it like Robbie, with a pair of oversized denim this season.” — Kaitlin Cubria, deputy editor of experiences and style

The Dance Floor Dress

Hervé Léger -

“Hervé Léger was a Gossip Girl staple, worn by everyone from main characters like Serena van der Woodsen and Blair Waldorf, to guest stars like Diana Payne and Olivia Burke. And in 2026, the bandage dress is making a comeback. This one feels like a modern take with its square neckline and is one of my top Hervé picks (I have a ton).” — Alyssa Lapid, style writer

Francesca Moto Boot

Reformation -

“I've been eyeing these perfect moto boots. The stud details and square toe make them ideal for adding edge, whether you wear them with a dress or jeans. I can see Jenny Humphrey rocking these with a plaid skirt.” — R.L.

Paris Skort

Sandy Liang -

“At 28, I think I’ve aged out of the opportunity to attend Constance Billard School for Girls, but that doesn’t mean I can’t channel the fashion that graced those halls. Ties and brooches are so in right now, and paired with this perfectly pleated skirt by cool girl-approved brand Sandy Liang, anyone can look like Queen B. I’d probably style it with a perfect white tee or a more grungy, Little J-inspired look, but that’s what makes this piece such a staple — it’s versatile yet classic.” — Alexis Morillo, lifestyle editor

Will Jacket

Sézane -

“I always loved that Serena was a style chameleon, often clashing preppy staples with grunge or rockstar accents — hence why she's the inspo behind my love of this Sezane leather jacket. My dream outfit? This plus a black skirt and ballet flats.” — R.L.

Lene Striped Tie

The Frankie Shop -

“I know, I know. Neckties are trending on several designer runways. But wearing one makes me feel more like a Constance Billard enrollee than someone who frequents fashion weeks. And I love it. This striped one gives me all the Blair feels.” — A.L.

Eleanor Oversized Square Sunglasses

Tory Burch -

“Georgina Sparks was a menace, yes. But did she have amazing style? Also yes. She had an effortless cool-girl vibe punctuated by statement accessories. And her signature piece? Giant sunglasses. After years of going for smaller frames, it’s high time I return to those that cover half my face, à la Georgie.” — A.L.

Hat Attack Classic Wool Beret

Revolve -

“Blair Waldorf was the queen of the headpiece. And while I would love to revive a statement headband, what I really need is one of Blair's chic berets. This simple black number can be paired perfectly with a matching collared dress or used to elevate a casual white tee and jeans look.” — Rachel Chapman, BDG staff writer

Recycled Chiffon Polka Dot Bow Barrette

My Kitsch -

“Every time I see Blair Waldorf, I’m reminded that my hair accessory game is severely lacking. I love that she always completes a look with a headband or bow, like the perfect finishing touch. This polka dot option would be so cute for dinner or work with a half-up, half-down hairstyle — a classic for Gossip Girl. I would also wear it on the weekend. Think chic low ponytail, jeans, and a T-shirt.” — Carolyn Steber, lifestyle and wellness writer

In Bustle’s The Pregame, we ask athletes about their pregame rituals. Do they have any superstitions? How do they get in the zone? Here, we chat with the Aryna Sabalenka, the world’s No. 1 ranked singles player, about her warmup routine and good luck jewelry.

When Aryna Sabalenka won the Miami Open on March 28, she celebrated in the most low-key way. “We had a pizza night with the team,” the 27-year-old tells Bustle. “We were thinking about going out, but then decided it had been so intense, we just wanted to stay in together instead.”

The win followed her victory at the Indian Wells tournament in California on March 15 — an achievement called the “Sunshine Double.” Sabalenka is only the fifth woman to win both tournaments, and she is now ranked No. 1 in the world. If that doesn’t deserve a pizza party, what does?

“It was such a fun experience,” she says. “It’s a huge achievement, and I’m super glad to get it done. That wasn’t an easy one, and lucky me, I’ve done it.” Of course, winning is nothing new for the athlete, who has won multiple Grand Slam titles and was ranked No. 1 in singles in 2023 and doubles in 2021. She was also named the WTA Player of the Year in 2025.

On the court, Sabalenka is known as “The Tiger” — a reference to the tiger tattoo on her forearm and the commanding presence she brings to the game. The ink was referenced in an Electrolit commercial featuring comedian Jeremy Culhane, who chases her down to show off his matching design. Sabalenka has been a brand ambassador for the electrolyte drinks since August 2025.

Going from Indian Wells to Miami, Sabalenka had to adjust from dry heat to humid temperatures on the fly. “We focused on my recovery, and as you know, hydration is the key,” she says.

While Sabalenka may have her two new trophies, she’s nowhere near done for the season. Next up is a tour through Europe for games in Stuttgart, Madrid, Rome, Paris, and Wimbledon, where she hopes to continue her winning streak. Here, the tennis star shares how she gets prepared to play and how she gets those perfect slicked-back buns.

How do you get ready before a match?

I like to stay cool and chill with my team. We do everything we can to get mentally prepared and recharged. I need my batteries full, so I focus on what I’m eating and drinking to reduce the risk of cramping.

How do you get in the zone mentally?

I listen to a nice mix of music. It can go from ’90s to rap to house music and some hip-hop. I can’t go through the same playlist over and over again.

Do you have any good luck charms?

I have my evil-eye necklace and bracelet that I never take off. It protects me from bad energy.

What’s your warm-up routine on the court?

If I have an evening match, I always do a morning mobility routine. When we get to the site, I’ll do another mobility routine that’s more active with specific tennis exercises. When we go on court, I’ll hit around, but I also like to take it easy. I don’t like to be in a rush.

What’s your pregame beauty routine?

I start by cleansing my face. I use a toner, moisturizer, serum, then I put on sunscreen. I try to reapply it throughout the day because I’m always exposed to the sun.

It’s part of the process of getting in the zone. When it’s just me there in the mirror, taking care of my skin, it’s kind of a meditation. Just a girly moment.

You’re known for your slicked-back bun. How do you perfect it?

I just did a tutorial about it on TikTok. It’s super simple. All you need is two hair ties and five pins to clip your baby hairs down. I don’t like them to get in my way when I play.

How do you choose your outfit?

I work with Nike, so I already know what I’ll wear for each match. But for next season, I’m trying to be part of the team designing my looks. For now, I try to express myself with jewelry. I try to make it all match and be shiny, bright, and cute.

If something goes wrong in a game, how do you get your focus back?

I bring myself back to the court and take it one step at a time. Sometimes I get super emotional, so I’ll remind myself that I can’t let it take away something I’ve been dreaming about. I talk to myself a lot on the court. If you could hear me thinking, you’d probably think, “OK, this girl is not OK.”

When playing, do you feed off the energy of the crowd?

I love the energy. This has always been my dream — playing in these big stadiums — so I love the support. Now I feel like people know me better, they support me more, and I feel that energy and I definitely use it as my power. It helps me a lot.

This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

I used to truly suck at setting boundaries. I’d spent most of my life working around my mom’s chaotic behavior. I knew how she’d react to any given interaction with me, and I tried to be as compliant as possible while also doing the emotional heavy lifting to maintain our relationship. I felt it was up to me to present information about my life, find moments of connection, and listen to my mom vent.

I kept that up through my early 30s. I’d call every week, sometimes multitasking while running errands so she could go off in my ear as I bought toilet paper. I put my need for emotional depth aside to accommodate how she wanted to show up in the relationship. If I did the work, then I could pretend we were close, or at least close-ish.

But once I realized how much effort it took to maintain our relationship, it was harder to keep up. I still answered the phone, but her 20-minute monologue hurt more than before. Thanks, therapy.

And then, when a friend suggested I block my mom’s number, something I’d never considered before, it clicked: I needed to set some boundaries.

Maybe you’re also dealing with a mom who doesn’t always make you feel great. Enter boundaries, a physical or mental line between what we’re willing to put up with and what we’re not. Setting limits protects our emotions, preserves our individuality, and fends off triggers as we interact or coexist with our moms.

Even if your relationship feels good most of the time, enforcing your rules protects the parts of your bond that you love from the parts you don’t.

Motherf*cked: How to Stop Your Mother's Toxic Drama From Ruining Your Life

Amazon -

It sounds nice, but expressing your needs to your mom can be especially scary. Many of us have long and complex histories with our mothers that are often packed with triggers. If you’re not used to being honest or vulnerable with her about your feelings (or if you have and it’s gone badly in the past), starting now can feel intimidating. Same goes if you’re used to being steamrolled, or if you’ve been taught that it’s “mean” to limit your interactions.

These guardrails can range from super flexible (I’ll answer the phone when I’m free) to rigid (I will not answer the phone after 8 p.m. on a weeknight). They can also include expectations for your relationship, like asking for emotionally mature communication during conflict.

This isn’t about changing your mom, getting her to see your side, or punishing her. Setting these limitations may (hopefully) shift how she shows up in your relationship, but the only thing you can really control is your own behavior.

To set a boundary, you have to identify your current pain points and what limitations would quash them. They also require enforcers, or things you’ll do if your lines are crossed. Without those, the safeguards you put in place are useless. These could be as subtle as ignoring a phone call or as obvious as leaving in the middle of your lunch date.

I’m a health and wellness journalist, and the author of Motherf*cked: How to Keep Your Mother’s Toxic Drama From Ruining Your Life. Below, I’ll help you decipher the best boundaries based on your current relationship with your mom.

What Boundaries Do You Need With Your Mom?

1. Overall, you would describe your relationship with your mom as:

A. Really, really close, but not always in a good way.

B. Draining.

C. Sometimes painful.

D. Mostly good! Unless you get into politics, religion, what you’re eating, your dating life…

2. The last time you talked to your mom…

A. Was five minutes ago.

B. She went on and on for 20 minutes before asking you about yourself.

C. She threw what you said back in your face.

D. She listened to you vent about work and made you feel better.

3. How often do you think about your mom?

A. About as often as she’s blowing up your phone.

B. You ruminate about her more than anything else.

C. It depends on how recently she threw a passive-aggressive dagger your way.

D. Maybe a couple of times a day.

4. What do you enjoy most about your relationship with your mom?

A. She’s always available.

B. This is hard for you to answer.

C. Sometimes her chaos is funny, as long as it’s not directed at you.

D. You can trust her.

5. Is anything currently off limits in your relationship?

A. Nothing is left unshared.

B. Sometimes I decline her calls.

C. I try to keep our conversations surface-level.

D. I avoid certain topics, but she brings them up anyway.

Results

Whatever boundaries below (listed from least to most restrictive) meet your needs, know that you don’t have to tell your mom that you’re drawing a line in the sand to execute it. However, if you want to adjust the way you spend time together, it’s helpful if she knows.

To communicate that, explain the reason you’re putting the boundary in place in a positive light, like to create more independence or to protect the good parts of your relationship. Then describe the boundary you’re setting and what you’ll do if it’s crossed. Lastly, reiterate the positive reason you’re making this change.

Mostly A: Create more independence.

Individuation — a fancy word that describes the process of figuring out who you are, distinct from everyone else — can be really challenging in the context of your relationship with your mom. We’re born to feel close to them, so separating our preferences, beliefs, and actions from theirs isn’t always easy. Not adhering to your mom’s preferred religion, career path, or politics can result in things like eyerolls, verbal assault, or the silent treatment. And because we’re wired to want our moms to love and approve of us, even the quietest yuck to our yum can sting.

Boundaries like the ones below help us find ourselves and maintain individuality, even when we face backlash.

• Limit the number of times you speak to her per week or per month.
• Don’t answer questions about topics you’d rather not discuss.
• Limit how often you ask her for favors or accept money.
• Don’t discuss new developments in your life (like jobs and relationships) until they reach a specific point of your choosing.

Mostly B: Minimize the space your mom takes up in your brain and schedule.

When we let moms walk all over us, we’re more likely to feel depleted and burned out. That leaves us with less energy for our lives outside this relationship. You might be distracted at work, spend date nights venting about your mom, or feel too tired to go out with your friends. You might even delay paying bills because your mom guilted you into buying her a new washing machine.

Ultimately, setting parameters like the ones below enables you to choose where your time, attention, and other resources go.

• Limit how much time you spend talking about her with other people.
• Block or mute her on social media.
• Limit how much time you spend talking to her on the phone.
• Cap how much time you spend with her in person.
• Don’t let her in your home.
• Avoid social events she attends.

Mostly C: Protect yourself from hurtful behavior.

Our moms typically know what sets us off, how we can be convinced to do what they want, and how we’ll respond to certain situations.

As kids, we often find ways to work around caregivers who use this knowledge against us, like shifting how we act around them. These maneuvers help us stay connected to the people we rely on most when we’re young.

As adults, though, we have the opportunity to rework that unhealthy, painful relationship so it functions better for us. Armed with a solid set of guidelines like the ones below, you can engage with your mom in a way that doesn’t desert your emotional needs. Once you set a boundary, commit to enforcing it.

• Designate topics, people, or issues you won’t talk about.
• Make certain parts of your life off-limits when you speak.
• Cap what topics they can vent to you about.
• Choose what you’ll let them borrow or take from you.
• Decide what activities you won’t do with them anymore.
• Don’t participate in events that felt triggering in the past.
• Avoid being alone with them.

Mostly D: Protect the good parts of your relationship.

Even if your relationship with your mom is mostly good, it can feel tense or uncomfortable when you don’t agree on certain topics. But you’re two independent people, and it’s OK to have differing views.

With emotional guardrails in place, you can keep the good and lose the bad. Say you and your mom love to gab about true crime, home decor, and your love life. Yet, you start to lose the plot when she inevitably brings up the fact that you don’t attend her house of worship. All hope is not lost! By telling your mom that you’re not a church person and you don’t want to talk about it anymore, you keep your time together safe. See below for more boundary-setting inspo.

• Decide what triggering topics you won’t discuss.
• Decide when and where you are comfortable meeting with them.
• Don’t allow substance or alcohol use before or during time together.
• Make certain parts of your life off-limits when you interact.
• Ask them to call and get permission before coming over.

Certain fragrances can transport you right back to the early 2000s with a single sniff. Among them: Bath & Body Works’ Japanese Cherry Blossom — the soft floral that practically defined mall-era beauty. It’s the scent that lived in your locker, your bathroom, or both. And somehow, 20 years later, it’s still everywhere.

It’s no small feat. Most Y2K-era beauty staples have long since faded into obscurity — especially in fragrance, where trends move at warp speed. Japanese Cherry Blossom, however, has done the opposite, racking up over $1.5 billion in sales for a brand that churns out hundreds of new scents each year.

Two decades after its debut, Bath & Body Works is marking the milestone by pulling back the curtain — and giving Bustle an exclusive look at what’s kept the fragrance relevant for so long. One key reason? It doesn’t chase trends.

“There’s an emotionally comforting, an uplifting kind of timelessness about the fragrance, and it’s not an olfactive trend,” Kristie Lewis, EVP of Merchandising at Bath & Body Works, exclusively tells Bustle. “It’s not another vanilla or another gourmand — it’s something that’s enduring and it has endured, and it can be worn time and time again, in any season.”

The cherry blossom-forward scent is a uniquely sparkling floral that lands somewhere between fresh and warm — a balance that contributes to its staying power. Master perfumer Harry Fremont of the DSM-Firmenich fragrance house helped create the blend, which also features Asian pear, mimosa petals, white jasmine, and sandalwood to capture that in-between moment when winter fades into spring.

“What’s amazing about Japanese Cherry Blossom’s olfactive portfolio is its blend of timeless, classic scents paired with unique notes,” says Lewis. “It’s a soft, powdery floral — it makes you think about spring, but the dry down has a bit of warmth to it and a little bit of boldness that can be worn year-round.”

Its timelessness (and genuinely delightful scent) is part of what’s made it one of the top three best-selling fragrances at Bath & Body Works — and one that hasn’t been reformulated in 20 years, which is rare. “You have people who have loved it forever. It’s really one of the true icon statuses in the brand’s assortment that has withstood the test of time,” says Lewis. “And it’s able to not only appease our existing customer, but bring in new ones as well.”

Of course, it wouldn’t be Bath & Body Works without a few new takes on a fan favorite. So, in honor of the anniversary, the brand is welcoming two additions to the collection: Forever Cherry Blossom, a modern flanker, and Cherry Blossom, a revived bestseller from the early 2000s.

Lewis describes Forever Cherry Blossom as having more of an elevated, juicy feel. “The original is about the femininity and the cocooning, comforting background, so we wanted to make sure that was prominent, but in a more modern way,” says Patricia Hidalgo, VP perfumer at IFF, who worked on the fragrance.

The end result? Cherry blossom, enveloped with musk and sandalwood for a close-to-skin warmth, plus magnolia, jasmine, Sakura petals, and pear for sparkling juiciness — a blend Lewis predicts will appeal to a younger consumer.

Then there’s Cherry Blossom’s comeback: a Y2K-era staple that combines watermelon, red plum, and cherry blossom with sheer freesia and sandalwood for pure floral-fruity nostalgia. Japanese Cherry Blossom and Forever Cherry Blossom are available now at Bath & Body Works stores and online, with Cherry Blossom returning as an online exclusive.

In a category built on what’s new, Japanese Cherry Blossom’s staying power feels almost radical — proof that a scent doesn’t need to change to remain relevant.

In the two decades since Friends took its final bow, Lisa Kudrow has more than proven her creative chops in an eclectic medley of projects — earning Emmy nods for shows such as Who Do You Think You Are?, Web Therapy, and The Comeback, the cult-classic comedy whose third (and final) season is airing now. But in the early days of playing Phoebe Buffay, Kudrow didn’t think Hollywood had high hopes for her career.

In a new interview with The Independent, Kudrow reflected on Friends fame — noting that even as the show’s exposure rose, she didn’t feel received by the industry as a performer in her own right. “Nobody cared about me,” she said in the interview, published on April 4. “There were certain parts of [my talent agency] that just referred to me as ‘the sixth Friend.’”

In the same interview, Michael Patrick King — who co-created The Comeback with Kudrow, who also stars — pointed out that she was actually the first of the Friends bunch to win an Emmy.

“Yeah,” Kudrow noted. “But there was no vision for me, and no expectations about the kind of career I could have. There was just, like, ‘Boy is she lucky she got on that show.’”

Of course, if you’re on a perpetual Friends rewatch (personally, I clock in every day), you know that Kudrow was an essential piece of the show’s uniquely feel-good spirit. Phoebe’s unconventional upbringing and lack of long-running ties with the group might have made her the outsider, but her quirks brought hilarious charm — from comforting Rachel with the nickname “Pheebs” (“I thought that’s just what we call each other”) to bringing much-needed perspective to the group’s on-and-off drama. See: telling Rachel, with some tough love, that her planning to skip Ross’ wedding over their tricky history was “high-school crap.”

Even if Kudrow didn’t feel love from the industry, she certainly found a family among her castmates. “We really did get along,” Kudrow told Armchair Expert in 2024, explaining that she worked hard to prioritize respectful communication with her on-and-off-screen pals (Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, and the late Matthew Perry).

And if you ever feel like getting emotional, watch the behind-the-scenes featurette of the rest of the Friends cast filming in London while Kudrow stayed at home because she was pregnant IRL. “We feel like we have a limb missing,” Aniston says in the sweet throwback footage.

Many weddings kick off with a slow and sweet processional — the flower girl throws petals, the bridal party marches in a line, and eventually the bride enters, often accompanied by a parent on her arm. Then, the venue fills with a traditional tune like "Bridal Chorus" or an instrumental version of a classic like “At Last” by Etta James, and everyone immediately starts wiping away some tears.

But the traditional route isn’t the only way to go these days. At her wedding on Feb. 7, Adro Law blasted “Bad Girls” by M.I.A. and turned her aisle into a runway. A clip from the big day, filmed by her friend @gigijaymuz, has over 9 million views TikTok. The clip shows Law strutting towards the altar at her destination wedding in Cartagena, Colombia. As the music began to play, you can hear her friend say “I’m dead” as she recognizes the song, and then everyone starts to cheer.

In the video, Law enters with a bang, sashays halfway down the aisle before turning, posing, and strutting some more. Her long veil trails behind her, floating dramatically in the wind at the seaside locale. The music continues until Law reaches her soon-to-be husband, David, who promptly helps fix her outfit. The whole scene put a bad*ss spin on a typical wedding tradition.

In Gigi’s comments, someone wrote, “This is my first impression of you and I’m here for it.” Others said, “I didn’t know this was an option!” and “Watched again to look at the crowd and EVERY.SINGLE.PERSON was just as happy for you in that moment as you were for yourself!! Guest list was on point!!!!” The ideas also started rolling in: “As someone w/ weird relationships w/ my parents, im doing this. thank u icon.” Her, Law shares what it was like to go viral, and what the moment meant to her.

What inspired you to turn your processional into a runway?

My dad died of cancer 10 years ago. We were very close, and the idea was always to have him walk me down the aisle. I’m close with my brother and father-in-law, too, so I toyed with the idea of, “OK maybe they could walk me down the aisle.” But it just felt wrong trying to replace him.

And were you not a fan of the traditional slow walk?

I thought of walking to a slow song, but that’s not really my vibe. Then I bought my dress and I realized, “The vibe of the wedding is very fun, upbeat, sexy. Very guest-focused.” We were out to dinner one night and my sister-in-law, as a joke, was like, "You should walk down the aisle to M.I.A.’s ‘Bad Girls.’” And I was like, "Actually, I love that idea. I love that song. I like the vibe."

How did you get ready to strut?

My husband is actually a music producer and remixed the song to make it the exact length of my walk. If you listen to the song, it has a little boom at the end and it finishes right on time. So he did that for me.

Did you practice your model walk beforehand?

Because the song was so fast, I knew I couldn’t just run down the aisle. I was going to have to do a turn and make it at least 30 seconds. So I practiced the turn and everything, and then I had to practice it in my dress with the train, too. It was a process. I loved it. I was scared I’d chicken out, but I committed because we had a two-year engagement, so there was a lot of time to think about things and practice.

Did anyone else know you were going to come out to “Bad Girls”?

None of our family or guests had any idea. I was afraid if people knew, then they would start judging or try to talk me out of it. Even the bridal party was in the dark. I had them walk single file actually, and so they were kind of confused. I said, “Pretend that it’s a runway.”

How did your guests react?

They were shocked. It was so much fun. I was really worried about the older people, the grandparents and the older aunts and uncles. That was my biggest concern that they would think it was tacky, but they loved it. They said it was the best event they've ever been to, which coming from older people means a lot.

Did it feel empowering to walk on your own?

100%. And I didn't realize how much it would resonate with girls that didn't have a father, but it really did. I remember when my dad died and I'd attend weddings and cry at that part. I think it's very empowering and made me feel confident.

It also feels like such a moment!

You spend all this money on the dress and the wedding, so why try to hide? I wanted to show off my dress!

How do you feel about your wedding going viral?

At first I was really worried about negative comments. You see that on any video that gets popular. But yeah, I would say 99% is very encouraging. I think it's a huge feminist movement for the girls that do have a father to not be handed off. It's more, “This is my own thing. I'm my own person.” There have been so many different viewpoints. It's amazing in every way.

Everyone getting ready to cry, and then you strutting out to M.I.A is so funny.

It really set the tone for the wedding because we wanted something original and fun. At the rest of the wedding, we had the fire girls, a cigar roller, and a 10-foot robot. We wanted more of a party than a sad wedding vibe.

Does that describe you and your husband?

He's an entertainer at heart and we both love attention. We love hosting parties, so we really wanted to make it something where everyone could have fun. A lot of our guests have been to dozens of weddings and they're usually all the same, so we wanted to mix it up.

Do you hope your walk becomes a trend?

I'll be very curious. Everyone says they're going to do it. It'll be really cool if it ends up trending.

What’s your advice for someone who wants to walk the runway at their wedding?

I would say pick your favorite song and just do what you want to do! Don't think about anyone else's opinions. When you stay true to yourself, other people can feel it and they automatically have a positive reaction.

This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

Sabrina Carpenter is taking us on a much different kind of “House Tour.” In her new music video for her fan-favorite Man’s Best Friend track, the singer forms her own Bling Ring of sorts, robbing a lavish mansion with Madelyn Cline and Margaret Qualley, the latter of whom also co-directed the video with Carpenter.

But there’s one question that remains unanswered: Whose house did they rob?

As any pop culture aficionado knows, the real-life Bling Ring exclusively targeted celebrity homes, robbing Rachel Bilson, Lindsay Lohan, Orlando Bloom, and Paris Hilton (many times) in the late 2000s before getting arrested. Carpenter and her accomplices follow the same strategy, posing as the Pretty Girl Clean-up Crew to get through the front gate of a mansion in the Hollywood Hills (as she instructs on the song, “Never enter through the back door”).

The trio luxuriates in their surroundings by raiding the fridge, sampling the wine cellar, and having a sword fight. Once inside, it’s clear that their victims are both rich and famous, as evidenced by the Grammy trophy that Carpenter swipes from the mantle.

Carpenter and her girls happily try out everything in an awe-inspiring walk-in closet, filled with racks of clothes, jewels, and hats. However, there’s also a man’s closet in the corner (which they also raid, of course), signaling the victims are a couple. Sadly, the girls don’t give us an answer before escaping, taking literally everything (including the dog) and leaving us to figure out their identities.

The Grammy points to at least one musician. Perhaps she raided Taylor Swift’s home, knowing her friend wouldn’t get that mad? Or maybe it’s the Queen of Pop herself, Madonna, who Carpenter is rumored to have collaborated with. Some fans may think it’s a swipe at her rumored ex Shawn Mendes, but... he doesn’t actually have a Grammy.

Carpenter shared the inspiration behind her video in her newsletter. “I thought it would be fun if Pretty Girl Avenue was a real place (where you reside of course) and I've wanted to make a video for this song since the day I wrote it,” she said. “I'm so happy that it all came to life. Getting to direct this with Margaret and play opposite of Madelyn and Margaret was the real dream come true.”

Before the great lip oil boom of the 2020s, millennials were the last generation who lived through a glossy lip heyday. It was a true era of shine: lips coated in that signature glass-like finish that caught the light (and everyone’s attention) wherever we went. We embraced the high-maintenance nature of it all, reapplying with dedication and treating every swipe like a finishing touch. Sure, a slight breeze might have caused our lips to catch a few strands of hair, and cups didn’t stand a chance from our lip imprints — but that glossy confidence made it all worth it.

MAC Cosmetics Lipglass Cushion High-Pigment Lip Oil

Ulta Beauty -

Back then, at the pinnacle of the lip gloss pyramid sat MAC’s Lipglass. The girlies were feral for it, and a more apt name could not have been conjured by whichever marketing genius named it. It was glass skin (and lips) in a bottle decades before its time. Makeup artists actually used the clear version whenever they wanted to create impossibly glossy skin or lids on set, and the multitude of colored iterations became collectors items.

Take it from a someone who continues to be MAC obsessed even today. With the overwhelming range of lip products available, if MAC is talking lip gloss, I will drop everything to listen. The brand’s new Lipglass Cushion High-Pigment Lip Oil is in some ways a new version of the Lipglass we know and love. It has that same high shine, but also gives an intense colour payoff which is almost lipstick-like in terms of pigment load. And, most importantly, it’s loaded with hydrating ingredients to give the thin skin the hydration it needs, living up to its lip oil claims.

This lip oil is everything I’m looking for as a grown-up. I want color and shine, more the better, but not at the cost of comfort. This one is loaded with oils like jojoba, castor, apricot kernel, sweet almond that give the thin skin of the lips a succulent jolt of moisture. My forever-parched lips felt cushiony upon application of the oil and held on to that hydration and slip even hours later. It didn’t disappear after multiple drinks and snacks, and even though I refreshed the color here and there, my lips stayed soft and comfortable all day. This is not a regular occurrence in my world.

The color payoff is also impressive. It works magic over a lip pencil, providing enough color and pigment to saturate the lips but still lets the intensity of the pencil show through, making it super simple to create a dimensional, directional lip look. Some shades like the bright red Tantrum, deep berry Grapesicle and dark brown Pulse are pigmented enough that they eliminate the need for filling in the lips with color for those of us who want that saturated hit of color. For those who want a more translucent wash with the natural lip peeking through, that can be achieved with the lighter shades like Boy Bait, Yum Yum and Sugarrimmed. I’ve been playing with both sides, as well as just layering it on with no other lip products, and it looks fantastic every which way.

The twelve shades are split with half having a hint of shimmer with added pearl effects, while the rest are a pigment-only shimmer-free finish. The collection is also split between cool-toned hues like mauve and taupe, neutral browns and warm pinks, peaches and oranges, so there’s plenty to play with. This line simultaneously upgraded and simplified our lip wardrobes, doing the heavy lifting of several products in one. Exclusive to Ulta Beauty, these lip oils are poised to become a cross-generational favorite so don’t be surprised if they sell out fast.

All the red-hot motivation brought to you by Aries season is getting turned up a notch this week, thanks to bold and ambitious planet Mars joining the sun in this cardinal fire sign on April 9. With the moon in industrious and no-nonsense Capricorn at the same time, the latter half of this week is fabulous for putting some heat on your career goals and being a little more assertive about making things happen. Mars will be in Aries for the rest of this month and most of next, so this kicks off a whole spring journey that can inspire more financial independence and get you more comfortable taking the lead in your own life. Use this headstrong energy to your advantage when it comes to making financial and professional power moves.

April 9 also marks the date that Mercury leaves its post-retrograde shadow period, officially wrapping up the last lingering bits of its February-March retrograde cycle. This week’s money tarot reading feels very aligned with this shift, indicating that you’ll have numerous opportunities to rewrite your retrograde career story and recover from any snags that threw you off your financial game.

Read on to see what the cards advise when it comes to your bank account and work life in the week ahead.

Card 1: What do you need to know about your finances this week?

This is the second time in the past month that the Seven of Cups has shown up to offer its wisdom to the collective realm of personal finance, but there’s a key difference between this time and the last. Now, Mercury is no longer retrograde — meaning there should be a little more clarity and fewer delays when it comes to moving forward on decisions that impact your income. Like the figure on the card who is gazing up at a selection of cups full of different tricks and treasures, you too have many different offers in front of you right now. You may have entertained some of these for a while now, but it’s probably time to consider your options more seriously, moving away from the fantasy stage into a more pragmatic one.

What decisions were you weighing regarding money or business affairs throughout Mercury retrograde, and how did those pan out? Have you struggled to solidify a single path forward, or discovered that something isn’t exactly as you thought it’d be? Look over the options that have been presented to you over the past month — and perhaps the things you’ve chosen to move forward on, too — and reassess what the best course of action truly is. You may have more insight now that can help you make an informed decision. But remember, don’t get lost in the idea of a pipe dream. There are viable financial opportunities at your fingertips if you use discernment and think practically.

Card 2: How can you feel less anxious about money?

The Nine of Pentacles is one of the most luxurious, abundant, and materially successful cards in the tarot deck, depicting a relaxed figure draped in decadent textiles, admiring her fancy avian companion as she leisurely strolls through a lush garden. Having such a prosperous card here doesn’t doesn’t mean you don’t have valid anxieties about your money situation right now — that kind of stress is very real and impactful — but it can be a good indicator that better and more comfortable times are incoming. This card encourages self-sufficiency and financial independence, and all the pleasures that can be more easily enjoyed when you’ve built up a solid foundation for yourself.

Regardless of what may or may not be coming up, another interpretation of this card is reminding you to take a deep breath and make sure you’re enjoying the abundance you do have access to. There’s no minimizing the seriousness of any financial problems that are currently plaguing you. However, even amidst stressors, there are always ways to make yourself feel spiritually rich. You may not be dressed in expensive robes in a garden full of golden coins, but can you treat yourself to something special? Spend time admiring the beauty of nature, bonding with your pets or loved ones, putting on your favorite outfits, or taking your time with a luxurious everything shower and an at-home mani and pedi. The more you focus on gratitude and abundance, the more you’ll attract your way.

Card 3: What will impact your career this week?

We just connected with the Nine of Pentacles, but this reading has also brought forth the Nine Of Wands, in regards to career matters specifically. Nine is the last of the single-digit numbers, so it symbolizes the threshold at end of one cycle before a new one begins. Unlike the Nine of Pentacles — which indicates having reached a point of comfort and material satisfaction — the Nine of Wands is about finally being able to protect yourself after a period of major struggles. The card depicts an anxious-looking and bandaged up character, whose appearance indicates that he’s been through some difficult times. He clutches to a wand and looks over his shoulder suspiciously, but thankfully, he’s behind a boundary of tall wooden swords behind him, indicated that he’s finally reached some level of safety.

You may have had to weather some storms at work lately — whether that’s been a ruthless job search, unreached goals or slip-ups in your career, or just general Mercury retrograde messiness. Even though the most destructive parts of these storms have likely passed, you’re probably still mentally in recovery mode. It’s normal to feel a little paranoid, beaten down, and threadbare after dealing with a period of professional stressors or setbacks, so sleeping with one eye open might feel necessary right now. However, there’s a difference between keeping your guard up so high that you lose all trust in anything and maintaining healthy professional boundaries to protect yourself during a vulnerable time. Focus on doing the latter and rebuilding some strength and faith in yourself.

Happy April! The week begins with the moon in party-hardy Sagittarius, kicking things off a high note and amplifying the fiery energy of Aries season. Thanks to some positive lunar connections, the first few days of this week are a fabulous time to dive deep into something and spelunk down a rabbit hole or two. Don’t expect to become an expert on a new topic overnight, but do indulge your curiosity.

Midweek, it’s time to kick things into high gear. The moon enters down-to-business Capricorn on Wednesday evening, putting everyone in a more pragmatic state of mind. This is the best time to charge ahead on your to-do list and steel yourself against distractions.

This gets even easier the following day, as go-getter planet Mars enters its home sign of Aries, providing a much-needed energy boost and a heavy dose of ambition. This kicks off a motivating period full of confidence and courage, so summon your inner leader and start blazing new trails.

The moon enters quirky Aquarius on Friday evening and blows kisses to both energizing Mars and dreamy Neptune, bringing a more social vibe to the cosmic scene in time for the weekend. It’s a lovely time to plan some group activities or hit a community event with your crew.

However, some relationship tensions could arise on Saturday, so try to keep an objective approach and resist getting caught up in power games.

Thankfully, Sunday’s vibes are smoother and sunnier, allowing you to wrap up the week on a more relaxed and harmonious note.

Read on for each zodiac’s signs horoscope for the week ahead.

Aries (March 20 - April 18)

Your mind is like a sponge for the first half of this week, so get out there and soak up some knowledge. Exploration bring inspirations, so you’ll be starry-eyed and ready to make some magic happen by the second half.

Whether you choose to channel these fresh perspectives and heightened energy levels into your career, social life, or something else, you’ll see that you have the power to make long-awaited changes in your life.

Taurus (April 19 - May 19)

Change isn’t easy, but letting go of the past and embracing the future will come a lot more naturally than usual this week. You’re accepting yourself on a deeper level these days, leaving more room for surprises in your personality to emerge.

Just because you have patterns and preferences doesn’t mean they can’t evolve. Embrace whatever feels right in the moment. Keeping others on their toes is a good thing.

Gemini (May 20 - June 19)

There’s always more to learn about the people you love, so don’t get complacent in your relationships by assuming you know all there is to know.

Everyone has layers of their psyche that they keep to themselves — and that’s true for you as much as anyone else. Try to look past the surface-level this week and see the rich layers of vulnerability at the heart of your closest bonds.

Cancer (June 20 - July 21)

Keep your nose to the grindstone and focus on your own actions and responsibilities, because it’ll be easy to get sucked up in relationship drama — whether that’s a squabble with someone you love or just some feelings you’re struggling to escape.

If you hit a roadblock during the middle of the week, think of it as a catalyst for reflection instead of a bad omen. Perhaps in order to move forward more authentically, there are some things that need to be put on the table.

Leo (July 22 - Aug. 21)

This week is full of romance and excitement, so don’t be surprised if you’re floating around on cloud nine — you know, in between the everyday stresses, of course.

Responsibilities haven’t disappeared, but it’s amazing how effective a positive attitude can be in changing the course of your daily groove for the better. Stay optimistic and you’ll find connections everywhere you turn.

Virgo (Aug. 22 - Sept. 21)

Just because you’re spending time in your comfort zone — whether that’s an emotional space or your literal home — doesn’t mean you’re not growing and exploring.

Sitting with your thoughts and sifting through your memories can lead to some powerful breakthroughs this week. Your mind is limitless in scope, so allow yourself to get inspired by your own lore. Main character energy doesn’t have to be flashy to be real.

Libra (Sept. 22 - Oct. 21)

Connections can lead to reflections this week, and that’s a good thing. Some conversations —even casual ones — could put you in an introspective state of mind. Dive right into your feelings, but don’t be afraid to keep the lines of communication flowing.

Open up to someone close to you about what’s on your mind. If someone else’s perspective catalyzed your current queries, then perhaps another opinion can help you process them, too.

Scorpio (Oct. 22 - Nov. 20)

It’s time to get grounded. Get your finances squared away, catch up with friends you haven’t chatted with lately, and knock out some overdue house chores to keep your space (and mind) feeling functional.

A little everyday maintenance can go a long way in getting ahead. Focus on what’s right in front of you this week and progress will be made.

Sagittarius (Nov. 21 - Dec. 20)

If you’ve felt a little out of sorts lately, you may just find your groove again this week. Let your feelings come as they are. If you run into something challenging, use it as an opportunity to dig deeper into your beliefs and opinions.

By the time the weekend comes around, you’ll be feeling flirtier, friendlier, and ready to come out of your springtime shell like the social butterfly that you are.

Capricorn (Dec. 21 - Jan. 18)

Take things slow as the week begins. Don’t push yourself into any mental or physical tasks you aren’t up for. Energy levels will rise as the days go on, and pacing yourself and prioritizing rest will be exactly what restores your battery to a full charge.

You’re learning that stronger boundaries lead to lasting success. Chin up, stay firm.

Aquarius (Jan. 19 - Feb. 17)

There are a lot of opinons spinning around out there in the ether now — whether it’s conversations between colleagues that you’ve been privy to, or just the online chatter that inevitably makes it way into your feed.

It’s easy to get caught up in the mental chaos of it all, and that’s why it’s so important to make a conscious effort to step back and process. If you were to strip away all the outside baggage, how would you feel about things right in this moment? Start there and keep exporing.

Pisces (Feb. 18 - March 19)

With energizing Mars finishing its biannual transit in your sign this week, now’s your chance to zoom toward any career goals or other collaborative efforts that have been sitting on the back burner.

Take that first leap this week — the one that requires the most moxie — and you’ll find that the following steps come a whole lot more easily. Foundational moves made now could lead to lucrative results in the near future.

Your card this week is the Seven of Cups, a symbol that represents choices, indecision, daydreams, and wishful thinking. It suggests everything feels scattered right now, like your mind is juggling too many thoughts and ideas. As you head into April, life might feel a little less grounded than usual. Instead of seeing a clear path to take, you’ll be met with a buzzy, confusing blur of choices that need to be made and tasks that need your attention. You’ll run here, there, and everywhere in an effort to check things off you to-do list, but likely won’t complete a single thing.

Part of it is outside your control. Everything and everyone needs you right now, and as a result you’re spread too thin. But some of this energy comes down to how you approach the day. You know when you unload the dishwasher, then stop halfway through to give your dog a haircut? It’s very that. It might also feel like you’re in a constant rush, even when you don’t need to be.

Therapists call this “urgency mode” and it can make you act unhinged — like you’re racing and running and never fully focused on one thing. The Seven of Cups reminds you to slow down and get organized. Try to get up an hour earlier and lay out of a plan for your day. It might also help to physically slow yourself down. If you catch yourself running down the street or inhaling your lunch, pause. Hopefully your mind will follow suit.

The Seven of Cups can also be a sign that you’re spoiled for choice. Take your love life, for example. It’s possible you have more matches right now than you know what to do with, and you aren’t sure who to focus on. This card reminds you to skip the “too good to be true” option. Try to see past the fantasy.

If you’re in a relationship, you might find yourself eyeing someone else, even though you’re happy. And at work, you might daydream about a new role or fantasize about what it would be like to venture into a new career field. Before you make any rash decisions or permanent changes, let the weird vibes settle.

This tarot card can also hint at a wild hair. Don’t be surprised if you wake up one day this week craving a major change. Spring is in the air, and you might feel cooped up or stir crazy. Just like the person on the card, you’ll stare at an array of options that could potentially make you feel better: a vacation, a hookup, a night out with friends. To scratch the itch, pick something that’s a little bit out there, and enjoy.
