Meet the Little House on the Prairie reboot’s villainous Nellie Oleson: ‘Bow down and tremble before her’
Alison Arngrim, who played the original Nellie, weighed in on the choice.
On Wednesday, Netflix announced the young actress who will play protagonist Laura’s nemesis. Willa Dunn will join the cast in the show’s second season, which has already been ordered, even though the reboot has yet to debut.
Dunn has appeared on shows including Only Murders in the Building and Poker Face.
The official description of the character, the daughter of the town’s rich, mercantile-owning family, lines up perfectly with what fans of the original series remember.
“On the surface, Nellie is a world-class spoiled princess and a playground bully,” the streamer said in a release. “Smart and supremely confident, sharp-tongued but easily wounded. Lives and breathes to make Laura Ingalls miserable. But beneath her mean-girl persona is tenderness and a yearning for true friendship — even if she doesn’t know exactly how to get it.”
Kylie Minogue has cracked her own code
Following the release of her Netflix docu-series, writer Louis Staples speaks to the Princess of Pop about her astronomical career, cancer diagnosis and fandom.
When I was seven years old, I vividly remember watching Kylie Minogue perform during the closing ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. I can still picture her showgirl costume, with fuchsia feathers and shimmering silver tassels, as she belted out a cover of ABBA’s ‘Dancing Queen’ in front of the world. I didn’t quite realise it yet, but I was about to become one of Minogue’s devoted gay fans – a group that she says she would go to “war” for. “There’s something we understand about each other,” she tells me, almost conspiratorially, at the very start of our Zoom conversation. “There’s a spirit we both have, which is resilience.”
I’ve Just Returned From a Luxury European Resort—These Are the 5 Sandal Trends All the Coolest Women Were Wearing
The best sandals this season are as polished as they are practical
There’s no shortage of beautiful sights to take in while lounging on the beach at D Maris Bay in south-western Türkiye. Floating islands, crystal-clear waters and rolling mountains as far as the eye can see. And yet my eyes keep drifting downwards—because the 2026 summer sandal season has officially begun, and it seems every single one of the glamorous guests here has had a head start. Spoiler: Hermès Oran sandals are still very much in circulation, though last year’s bold black and orange have been swapped for softer beige and cream.
Blunt Bobs For Fine Hair: How To Style This Sleek Haircut For Your Specific Hair Type
This minimalist yet impactful chop is designed for keeping cool through heatwaves.
Bob hair trends may come and go, but one style that remains timeless is the minimalist, blunt bob.
It is, as the name suggests, a bob haircut with pristine, evenly-chopped ends with very little layering, although some hairstylists may suggest keeping it shorter around the front to frame the face. Adaptable for all hair types and textures, the blunt bob is a statement-making, no-nonsense cut that instantly makes an impact. Think of it as a tailored suit of haircuts; clean yet polished.
‘Disclosure Day’ First Reactions: “Steven Spielberg’s Best Film in 20 Years”
Spielberg’s return to UFO genre is getting early praise: “A dense roller coaster ride blending chase film, love story, & mystery.”
The first reactions have landed for Steven Spielberg‘s mysterious UFO thriller Disclosure Day.
The first-blush social media reviews from journalists and critics who have seen preview screenings of the Universal film say the sci-fi movie is one of the director’s best in years.
The film stars Emily Blunt and Josh O’Connor and explores what might happen if humanity received proof we are not alone.
Writes Collider’s Steven Weintraub: “In a shock to absolutely no one, Steven Spielberg has delivered another towering home run with Disclosure Day. I could go on and on about what I loved, but I was lucky enough to see the movie knowing almost nothing, and I strongly recommend you do the same. Stop watching the trailers. The one thing I will say: Emily Blunt is incredible. I know big summer movies aren’t usually the kinds of performances that get awards-season attention, but once people see what she does in this…”
Your June 2026 Horoscope Is Here: Every Star Sign’s Forecast For Romance, Career And Life
Gemini season is upon us, this is everything in store for all zodiac signs for the month of June
Although it’s Gemini Season, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter all appear in Cancer as June commences, bringing major emphasis to emotions, feelings, or the topic of home and family. Nostalgia and sentimentality may be prominent themes this month.

Be on the lookout for a significant performance, romantic affair, or inspiring creative project that can lead to something further. During this window a New Moon asks us to re-set, paying attention to spaces we find ourselves in.
Tom Hardy “Refused to Come Out” of ‘MobLand’ Trailer, Kept Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren Waiting for Hours: “Career Suicide”
A source close to production tells The Hollywood Reporter that, if greenlit, season three of ‘MobLand’ is set to shoot this year — but Hardy’s on-set behavior on the second season has spooked producers.
It’s a MobLand mess.
Tom Hardy has been making headlines over the past week after reportedly being fired from the hit Paramount+ series (though a source who spoke to The Hollywood Reporter says the British star’s fate is yet to be decided).
Hardy has been clashing with producers, THR confirmed, including executive producer Jez Butterworth and others at David Glasser’s 101 Studios, the production company behind MobLand, which is filmed across the U.K.
Much of this irresolution stems from the fact that the streamer has not yet officially renewed the show for a third season — another source close to production tells THR that filming on season three, if greenlit, is tentatively scheduled to begin in September this year.
‘Toasty Make-Up’ Is The Only Trend You Need To Look Fresh And Bronzed This Summer
The ultimate guide to achieving a sun-kissed, post-holiday glow
There’s nothing that sings summer quite like soft, bronzed skin and a post-sun glow, so it’s no surprise that TikTok’s ‘toasty make-up’ trend has taken the internet by storm. Defined by its intensely warmed-skin and natural approach to the eyes and lips, it is the sort of beauty look that requires some expert skill, but still appears entirely effortless and lived-in.
‘Toasty makeup is all about warmth, softness and skin that looks naturally sunkissed,’ says Haus Labs global artistry director and Lady Gaga’s make-up artist Sarah Tanno. ‘Think toasted caramel, cinnamon, terracotta and soft amber tones blended into the cheeks, lips and eyes. The key is that it feels lived in and effortless, not overly sculpted. It should look like warmth is coming through the skin.’
A Pearl Necklace Will Make Any Outfit Look More Expensive: 9 Affordable Styles To Shop This Summer
Make like Andy Sachs and refresh your summer looks with this discreet detail.
Unless you’ve been taking your screen-time ban a little too seriously, you’ll have seen The Devil Wears Prada 2 by now. And if you were really paying attention, you’ll have come away with a mental list of style notes to take into the new season.
If you’ve invested in Andy Sachs’ wardrobe of Gabriela Hearst dresses and Sacai skirts, good for you! But you don’t have to spend more than the average mortgage to obtain a slice of her feminine-yet-forthright style. In fact, one of Sachs’ best style tricks is as affordable as can be.
The Best June Nail Tends Are All About Embracing a Soft Girl Summer
Aura, mermaid chrome, and blooming gel define the start of the season.
The biggest beauty trends right now all seem to share the same soft-focus vibe: watercolor makeup is everywhere, mermaid-inspired glam and hair have taken over, and nails are following right behind. June manicures are moving away from overly precise nail art and leaning into blooming color, pearl finishes, and tiny details that feel softer and more diffused.
Ciara, Amanda, West, and What It Means to Date in White Spaces As a Black Woman
Like many Black women who date white men, I could not help but draw parallels between my own experience and Ciara Miller’s.
Three years ago, Miller, a beloved castmate on Bravo’s Summer House—and, for a time, the only Black person on the show—entered a relationship with new housemate West Wilson. The two had a fun summer affair that ended with West sending mixed messages and using his newfound fame to date around. But this wasn’t what made their relationship a matter of international interest. That would be when Wilson began secretly dating Amanda Batula—another housemate and Miller’s close friend—culminating with a joint admission released on social media earlier this spring.
The Scents of Summer 2026 Smell Lush, Tropical, and Expensive
No passport required
Any perfume has the ability to take you to a different time and place, but some are more transportive than others. According to Patricia Choux, perfumer at Henry Rose, “This summer is all about scents as souvenirs.” Think: guava notes that capture the same warm, milky quality as biting into the fruit itself; sea salt accords that cool you down like a splash of ocean water, and lush florals that place you in the middle of an overgrown garden.
As for gourmands, sun-soaked driftwood and vanilla will carry you away to a chaise lounge on a private beach, while waves of ginger and lychee join forces to smell like that delicious cocktail you’ve still been dreaming about since last summer. “In addition to the usual bright, fruity scents, we’re seeing a shift toward more understated, intimate luxury,” Symrise perfumer Laure Breysse points out.
Ahead, find 12 summer fragrances that feel like an island escape.
Iodized Salt Was Once a Public Health Miracle — So Why Did We Stop Using It?
As home cooks embrace specialty salts, nutrition experts say the longtime pantry staple may deserve another look.
These days, home cooks have an abundance of options for filling their salt shakers: kosher salt, smoked salt, pink Himalayan, and beyond. But before fancy salts took over supermarket shelves and kitchens, there was iodized salt.
This fortified salt was a staple of American pantries by the mid-20th century thanks to the concerted efforts of researchers, grocery stores, and salt companies to combat iodine deficiency in the U.S. But what exactly is iodized salt — and does it still have a place on the table?
Sparkle, Studs, and Shells! Decorative Flat Sandals Are Summer’s Chicest Finishing Touch
There’s no better time to embrace your more festive, playful side than during the summer months. And we’re not alone in feeling that way. Alongside embellished handbags, decorative footwear emerged as one of the season’s biggest trends on the spring/summer 2026 runways, from floral-appliqué styles at Dior and Proenza Schouler that mirrored the season’s most beautiful blooms to disco ball-worthy sequins at Dries Van Noten, Prada, and Chloé.
This Kitchen Appliance Releases Nearly 3 Billion Plastic Particles Into One Cup, According to Researchers
Researchers say the findings underscore how everyday household products may contribute to daily exposure to nanoplastics and microplastics.
By now, you’re likely very well aware of all the microplastics floating around you and in you, right this second. Food & Wine has diligently documented the science of microplastics for the last few years, including their size (a piece of “micro” plastic is smaller than 5 millimeters), where they’re found in food (seafood, freshly picked vegetables, and even in water), and how you come into contact with them (takeout containers, plastic cutting boards, and even glass jars) so you can do your best to avoid them. But now, researchers have one more culprit to add to the list: tea kettles.
Prom Is a Fashion Playground. We Asked 20 High Schoolers to Show Us Their Outfits
For nearly 200 years, prom-goers have embraced personal style. Here’s how the class of 2026 dressed up.
Despite the long and complicated history of prom (dating all the way back to the 1850s!), one thing has remained true: The event is not just a dance; it’s a moment to remember. Especially for seniors, it’s a special night to commemorate all the hard work you’ve put in.
Throughout nearly two centuries of prom iterations, trends and cultural norms have shifted drastically, particularly in fashion and technology. But for the classes of 2026 and 2027, the idea of prom as a marker of accomplishment, a time to celebrate friendship, and, of course, show off your style, still rings true.

Can You Use Mouthwash to Clean a Washing Machine? Here’s What Experts Say
Fresh breath, fresh washer?
Washing machines, like other household appliances, require consistent maintenance to keep them running efficiently. Among other cleaning problems that might arise, a pungent odor is not only unpleasant but can also make your laundry smell. It is likely the result of bacterial buildup in your machine, and you need to act fast before it worsens and increases the risk of odor and malfunctions. But how?
A popular cleaning trick for washing machines involves using mouthwash. Intuitively, it makes sense, being that its ingredients are designed to kill the bacteria in our mouths. But is the method proven effective? We went to laundry and appliance professionals to get to the bottom of it.
This Charming Town Is New England’s Most Underrated Dining Destination
Welcome to Dover, New Hampshire, where you’ll find a restaurant from a James Beard-nominated chef and the state’s first kombucha brewery.
When you think of dining out in New Hampshire, it’s easy to picture the classics: a briny platter of oysters savored on Portsmouth’s waterfront, or a handheld Belgian waffle devoured slopeside after a day of skiing the White Mountains. But another less talked-about corner of the Granite State is beginning to steal the culinary spotlight.
In Dover, the food scene feels both ambitious and refreshingly unpretentious. With a James Beard-nominated talent in the mix, a buzzy new opening, a specialty food shop worth a detour, and a growing roster of places that punch well above their weight, this under-the-radar city is emerging as one of New Hampshire’s most exciting places to eat.
