Dua Lipa Taught Us How To Do Wedding-Appropriate Hyper-Glamour.

It's peak wedding season. The time of year when we're inundated with photos of safe bridesmaids' dresses. Thankfully, Dua Lipa recently delivered a strong rebuttal to such conservative notions. The star rocked a space-age look that included metallic knee-high boots, a lavender sleepwear-as-daywear slip dress, and a beaded handbag. And who says you should never upstage the bride? Dua Lipa wore a dress, gloves, and boots from the fall 2022 Bottega Veneta collection (the first from the brand’s new creative director Matthieu Blazy) plus a yet-to-be-released handbag also from Bottega Veneta to complete her look. Dua Lipa also sported a pair of early aughts-inspired sunglasses from GCDS eyewear to complete the maximalist look. Dua's Instagram post featured a photograph of the distinctive g...

Boris Johnson’s Departure Has Left The World’s Fifth Biggest Economy In Crisis.

Boris Johnson will resign as UK prime minister Thursday after dozens of members of his party quit the government. But his popularity outside parliament has also been badly dented by surging inflation and stagnation in the British economy, a cost-of-living crisis that threatens to impoverish millions more people this winter, and the risk of a damaging trade war with the European Union. UK stocks surged, and the pound gained 0.75% to trade at $1.20 — recovering slightly from two-year lows hit earlier this week. "Make no mistake however, the [pound] remains severely weak due to the dire state of the UK economy which is underperforming its peers, [and] likely to enter into a recession," wrote Walid Koudmani, chief market analyst at broker XTB, in a note to clients. Whoever emerges from the ...

Spacex Has Been Granted Permission To Install Starlink Internet Connectivity To Aircraft, Rvs.

SpaceX's satellite-based internet service, Starlink, has now been given authorization to expand, and will service aircraft, ships, automobiles, RVs and other mobile units. The company has moved to expand its customer base by first providing internet service for roughly $100 per month, primarily to homes in areas that have poor or no ground-based internet service. The company has hundreds of thousands of subscribers around the world. Now, the Elon Musk-led company is likely to begin providing its Starlink service to commercial airlines, possibly beginning with Hawaiian Airlines, which signed a deal in April with SpaceX saying it planned to bring complimentary Starlink services to some of its jets. The Federal Communications Commission on Thursday gave SpaceX permission to expand it...

Coco Gauff Lost Wimbledon To The National Tennis Player Amanda Anisimova.

A highly emotional Amanda Anisimova got the better of her southpaw opponent Coco Gauff during singles on Centre Court on Saturday. The two Americans battled in a high-quality matchup; Anisimova won, 6-7 (4-7), 6-2, 6-1. Anisimova, who had never played on the center court at Wimbledon, said after her win: "It's just a huge privilege to play on this court playing Coco. Winning is so special, especially in front of a full crowd -- you guys were amazing." Gauff, who had won the first set 6-3, led 2-1 in the second before Anisimova settled into the match -- it was the first time she had played a match on the main court at Wimbledon. By the end of the set, both players were separated by a tiebreak which Gauff managed to win before momentum swung back in favor of Anisimova. Gauff's first se...

Deep Within The Eastern Forests Of Ukraine, This Group Of Volunteers Awaits The Russian Military Forces’ Advance.

For less than a fortnight, Maxym and his friends have been sleeping in earthen dugouts, eating food heated over campfires, and hearing the news of the Russians advancing in the vicinity of just one mile. "Of course they are going to come," he says. "They are far more numerous than we are." They are dug deep into this dense eastern Ukrainian forest, near Slovyansk, and are part of Ukraine's territorial defense -- non-professional soldiers who signed up in the opening days of Russia's February invasion. So far, they have avoided contact with the enemy by hiding beneath camouflage nets next to giant pyramids of bottled water. But every moment of every day they live with the thud of artillery and are showered with cluster munitions. Their wooded encampment is regularly struck by anti-tank w...

The Texas Supreme Court Issues An Order Permitting The Enforcement Of A State Ban On Abortions That Was Put In Place Over 100 Years Ago.

The Texas Supreme Court issued an order late Friday partially granting state Attorney General Ken Paxton's request to stay a lower court order that had temporarily blocked enforcement of most of a nearly century-old abortion ban in the state. The state high court's order now allows civil enforcement of the 1925 pre-Roe v. Wade ban, according to court documents. The Center for Reproductive Rights says that, according to its interpretation of the stay, the law cannot be enforced criminally. CNN reached out to Paxton's office on Saturday to ask whether it agrees that criminal prosecutions remain stayed but has not received a response as of Saturday afternoon. Paxton, a Republican, lauded the state high court's ruling on Twitter on Saturday. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton praised the ...

The London Pride Celebration Kicked Off With An Extravagant Queer Ball At Koko.

As London welcomes the 50th anniversary of Pride, Camden will host a reimagined Koko in Camden, serving as the venue for the inaugural "Ciroc Iconic Ball," staged in support of Not A Phase, which brings together people of all genders and orientations to provide safe spaces. In the ballroom community, five iconic house mothers—Sinia Alaia, Devine Gucci, Stasha Sanchez, Jusss Kelly and Lola Gucci—led performers in five different categories at Koko in an evening of celebrations and fantastical fashion. The categories were inspired by five decades of Pride: 1970s Vogue, 1980s Fashion Bazaar, 1990s Face, 2000s Best Dressed and 2010s Runway. Participants were judged on their costumes' creativity and adherence to each decade's aesthetic. Karteer, JJ Prodigy, Jozea, Kyle London and Ed Montero e...

Tesla Was Expected To See A Drop In Sales In The Second Quarter Of The Year.

One effect of China's coronavirus lockdowns was a dip in Tesla's production and sales. Tesla reported that completed sales plummeted 18 percent, to approximately 255,000 vehicles in mid-June compared to the first three months of the year. Production decreased about 15 percent, to around 259,000. The Tesla factory in Shanghai was closed for several weeks in April due to a lockdown rule aimed at alleviating a spike in cases of the flu. Tesla's problems with suppliers’ also limited production even after the factory reopened. The plant was forced to shut down again in May as officials tried to prevent an increase in outbreak-related deaths. The lockdowns likely cost Tesla production of about 70,000 vehicles in the quarter, according to Dan Ives, tech analyst for Wedbush Securities. However,...
