EDITOR’S NOTE
Happy Sunday. Something you might not know? I cohost the Debt Heads podcast, which just won an Ambie Award. Needless to say, I’ve been feeling extra celebratory, so while I treat myself to the limited-edition chocolate that’s superior to Reese’s (I said what I said), I’d like to give a shout-out to a few of the week’s other winners:
This guide to layering like a fashion stylist — which my 47 sweaters and I desperately need.
Megan Thee Stallion’s surprising career move, which combines two of my favorite things (one of them being Megan Thee Stallion).
The secret to Margot Robbie’s romantic makeup in “Wuthering Heights”? The $6 drugstore lip balm that got me through high school.
This edition of the “wrong-shoe theory” just breathed new life into the pants I — and every other millennial — wore nonstop circa 2016.
While there will never be another Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, these 11 minimalist pieces will help me channel my inner ’90s “It” girl.

🙏 If you’d rather do literally anything than iron, one of the biggest spring dress trends was made for you. Lazy girls, our time has come.
👖 Turns out, you don’t need fancy work pants. You just need this criminally underrated denim wash that makes any outfit look more expensive.
👗 If you thought your Jessica McClintock prom dress was the pinnacle of elegance, wait until you see the gown that’ll dominate prom 2026.
📼 Of all the ’90s trends to make a comeback, your mom’s favorite workout videos were not on our bingo cards. Excuse us while we raid her wall unit for those VHS tapes.
💇♀️ Just when we thought we’d seen it all, the season’s coolest haircut comes straight from…the salad bar? Yes, you read that right.
Boot up your desktop and alert your AIM buddy list — We. Are. So. Back. And by “we,” we mean Hilary Duff, who’s staged the comeback millennial dreams are made of. Of course, there’s her first album in over a decade — and like Duff herself, it’s much more grown up. (We weren’t expecting a song this decidedly not-Disney-Channel-friendly, but go off.) Then there’s her upcoming world tour, which she announced while raiding her deep archive of iconic on-screen fashion (we’d forgotten about those Cadet Kelly pants). Going global felt inevitable after the mayhem of her mini tour earlier this year. That included Taylor Swift-level ticket chaos, Duff finally embracing the dance that launched a thousand memes, an extremely Y2K-coded wardrobe, and all the songs you definitely still know by heart — one of which she somehow never performed live before. Plus, Lizzie McGuire has served up a truly delightful press tour, in which she took a side in the great martini debate, got real about motherhood (Hilary, thank you for saying the quiet part out loud), and was interviewed by her 13-year-old son, who hilariously roasted his mom’s outfit and called her out for routinely falling for AI videos (relatable).
But it hasn’t all been a…Cinderella Story. She’s also come clean about a lot of things millennials spent far too much time dissecting (guilty as charged). For starters, she confirmed what many internet sleuths long suspected: She and her once-inseparable older sister (never forget their cover of “Our Lips Are Sealed”) are estranged, which she described as “the most lonely part of my existence.” She also spilled on The Biggest Teen Queen Feud In History, between her and her “childhood nemesis” Lindsay Lohan. Yes, it was all thanks to a certain ’00s heartthrob, crashed premieres were involved, and it eventually ended in the most early-aughts way possible. Last but certainly not least? She addressed that toxic mom group drama. In a response much more, shall we say, diplomatic than her husband’s, Duff said she was “pretty taken aback,” adding that it “sucks to read something that’s, like, not true” and that she felt “used” given the timing (this hand gesture speaks volumes). Our inner cartoons are healed.
It seems no one wants to shake up their salads in the Keeping Up with the Kardashians Manshian. More than a year ago, Kris Jenner put the house she (and Ryan Seacrest) built on the market for one very frank reason — and it’s remained there ever since. Now we know what you’re thinking: Surely there must be some superfan with a spare $13.5 million who’d want to preserve the iconic piece of reality TV history? After all, the six-bedroom home has given us such gifts as legendary fights (the “least exciting to look at” still hits), the most over-the-top Christmas decor, and #cucumbergate. Though, that might be precisely the reason even the World’s Best Momager can’t get it sold. The house joins a long list of famous homes that have struggled to find a buyer: Casa de Baldwin (sorry, Alec and Hilaria’s Hamptons house) has been on and off the market for years; Bennifer pulled the listing for their 38,000-square-foot former love nest earlier this year; and the $30 million mansion that the Prince and Princess of Montecito pretended to live in for Harry & Meghan was vacant long before it finally moved. In any event, has anyone tried Todd Kraines?
Flavor Flav, the man that you are. Just days after the rapper turned hype machine invited the US women’s hockey team to Las Vegas for a “real celebration,” he managed to one-up himself: Flavor announced that this summer, he’ll partner with MGM Resorts and The Gist to throw a weekend-long rager for “all United States female Olympians and Paralympians” who won medals. Not that he needs our input — or that we’re remotely qualified to give it — but we took the liberty of compiling a few ideas for the big bash: They should find a way to freeze Vegas’s most famous body of water (Lake Bellagio) for a quick face-off; the “Golden Girls” should team up with Cirque du Soleil for a special performance; and all the attendees should be presented with a gold…clock necklace. Yeahhh booyyyeeee.
Sure, DTF St. Louis might sound like a bad Love Is Blind spin-off. But what actually happens in this HBO miniseries is far more sinister. The dark comedy follows local TV weatherman Clark (Jason Bateman) and the station’s American Sign Language translator, Floyd (David Harbour), who become best friends after surviving a vicious storm. The two do all the things middle-aged suburban dudes like to do — eat at chain restaurants, play cornhole, complain about their lackluster marriages. Particularly Floyd, whose wife, Carol (Linda Cardellini), works as a Little League umpire despite knowing nothing about baseball. Enter: DTF St. Louis, a dating app for married people looking for…exactly what you think. After a few fateful swipes, things unravel, and one of them ends up dead, sparking an investigation by a detective (Richard Jenkins) and a special crimes officer (Joy Sunday), who immediately sense things aren’t as they seem. Spoiler: That’s an understatement.
