This past weekend was densely packed with fashion wins by Zendaya and her stylist, Law Roach. Her style continued to grab attention as memorable outfits came one after another in Venice and Paris, as she promoted the upcoming film, Dune, where she stars alongside Timothee Chalamet.
Almost everybody at every red carpet is wearing a wig (or extensions), and rightfully so. Why should a celebrity dramatically restyle their hair for every single high profile event that comes their way?
Allyson Felix has more Olympic medals than any other female track and field athlete after winning bronze in the 400-meter dash finals in her second fastest time, 49.46 seconds. She ran the impressive race in sneakers which she designed herself, as a part of her new sneaker line, Saych. The gold medal went to the Bahamas’ Shaunae Miller-Uibo who ran 48.36, and silver went to Marileidy Paulino from the Dominican Republic.

California’s Dixie wildfire, its largest active wildfire, has now burned for three weeks across 322,000 acres of land. There are currently over 100 active wildfires burning across 14 states out west sparked by hot dry weather.
The dangers of fast fashion have been a hot topic lately, as microtrends continue to cycle faster and faster. People are already getting rid of their summertime “coconut girl” dresses that they purchased just a few months ago. One way to avoid this issue is relatively simple: buy clothes you like, not necessarily clothes that are popular!
The conversation surrounding dress codes for female athletes is certainly not a new one. In many organizations, progress has been made, and women are allowed to wear clothing more suited to their activity, but there is still a very clear disparity between male and female dress codes in sports. A glaring example of this struck earlier this summer when Norway’s handball team decided to protest against their dress code.
COVID cases and hospitalizations have multiplied over the past few weeks in Florida. Healthcare facilities are severely understaffed.

Even though these elite athletes seem superhuman, they require time to care for themselves just like any other person.

Her position as a high-profile competitor with wildly high expectations placed on her is clearly a stressful one.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has faced recent backlash for banning political protest or activism at this year’s Olympics. American Raven Saunders won the silver medal on Saturday’s women’s shot-put final, but her Olympic victory is not the only thing that has people talking. Saunders, who calls herself “The Hulk,” threw 19.79 meters in her “Incredible Hulk” mask, and matching purple and green hair.
On Monday, Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards announced that the state would be reinstituting its indoor mask mandate in schools and public places. The mandate will be in effect until September 1st.
