It’s MONDAY, darlings; the start of a new week and a new month. Here’s to new beginnings and fresh starts! Now let’s try our best to procrastinate our way through it again, learning nothing.

The 25 Best Movies on Netflix to Watch in June 2026
From comedy classics to recent Oscar winners, these are the titles you don’t want to miss.
It can be hard to find the best movies on Netflix. We all understand the struggle of scrolling time—hours lost to wading through all of the Netflix movie options that could instead have been spent, you know, watching something. Or maybe something has been sitting patiently in your queue, waiting for someone to give you a nudge to finally press play. So, like a beacon in the night, here’s a guide to 25 of the best films within Netflix’s huge selection—including everything from landmark films to cult classics to Netflix-original hidden gems—updated monthly as films appear on and leave the platform. Take that, decision fatigue. (And if you want a list of the best shows on Netflix, we’ve got one of those too.)

Dua Lipa and Callum Turner are married! Singer dazzles in a white skirt suit for London legal ceremony ahead of their three-day Italian extravaganza
Ahead of their three-day Italian extravaganza next week, the couple had their intimate legal ceremony, where Dua radiated bridal elegance in a custom Schiaparelli skirt suit, white gloves, a Bulgari necklace, and a wide-brimmed white hat, designed by milliner Stephen Jones.
The Houdini singer clutched a yellow bouquet and wore white Louboutin heels while strolling out of the registry office hand in hand with her new husband.
Meanwhile, Callum made for a dapper groom in a fitted navy suit.

Princess Diana’s Mint Condition “Revenge” Jaguar Heads To Auction
Attention classic car collectors: Princess Diana’s black Jaguar XJ40 Sovereign, which was made for the royal in 1994, will soon be available to interested buyers.
But while much has been made of her outfit, Princess Diana’s sleek, sophisticated car deserves credit for also suggesting that while the royal was under scrutiny after her husband’s admission, she wasn’t willing to go quietly. And on June 1, the Jaguar that served as Diana’s refuge will become the centerpiece of an auction at The Market auction house in South Oxfordshire, the same business responsible for sales including Queen Elizabeth II’s Daimler, George Michael’s Range Rover, and Sean Connery’s BMW.

9 Famous Brides Who Iconically Didn’t Wear White to Their Weddings
Looks so pretty, they might influence you to break the white-dress tradition yourself
Audrey Hepburn got married in pink, something the fashion world doesn’t seem to talk about enough. For her second wedding, to Andrea Dotti, the actor wore a blush-pink minidress by Givenchy paired with a matching scarf. The combination of the feminine hue, the shorter length, and the soft, romantic styling of the scarf became an instant source of inspiration for brides everywhere. Decades later, its influence still lingers in bridal fashion.
The color choice was very Hepburn. She was known for her elegant aesthetic and always understood the importance of personal style. But she wasn’t the only one who redefined bridal fashion. From Rita Hayworth to Julianne Moore, many famous brides have chosen to step away from classic white gowns and chosen individuality instead.

Butter and lemon are out – this is how to wear summer’s trendiest shade of yellow
Hint: it’s vibrant, bold and guaranteed to cheer you up. For summer 2026, canary yellow represents dopamine dressing at its best.
How to wear yellow? It’s one of those perennial style questions that comes up every summer – and our answers keep on changing. Although it’s often considered one of the most difficult colours to pull off, in the right hands yellow can be incredibly powerful. Just look at the work of Van Gogh, who turned it into one of his signatures. It’s bold, vivacious and strong, sometimes seen as too much. But when it comes to fashion, it’s one of those shades that signifies joy and redefines dopamine dressing.

Taylor Swift Doesn’t Want Plus Ones At Her Wedding. Here’s Why She’s Wrong
As reports say Swift and Travis Kelce aren’t permitting plus ones at their wedding, Olivia Petter, a seasoned plus one, argues their case.
Plus-ones get bad press. You’re surplus, a spare part, the unnecessary side dish that nobody ordered. At no event is this narrative more pertinent than a wedding, where every additional human costs time, money, and the limited energy all of us have reserved for small talk. Hence why a lot of people tend not to invite plus-ones to their weddings.
According to reports, one such person is Taylor Swift, whose upcoming nuptials to Travis Kelce have been largely shrouded in secrecy until recently. Apparently, it’s taking place in New York on 3 July, and alleged guests have told The Daily Mail that the invitation doesn’t include plus-ones.

The French pedicure just had a 2026 glow-up
Matchy-matchy tips for summer.
When celebrity nail pros Milly Mason and Harriet Westmoreland both declare: “French toes are back,” you’d better believe our ears pricked up. Not to mention, the French pedicure is suddenly everywhere on social media with Kylie Jenner popularising the look and content creators revealing how to take our favourite manicure style to our toes.
This summer has alreayd seen a smorgasbord of nude nails grace our fingertips – from the milky French and BB cream nails to barely-there rose water and princess nails – so it’s perhaps unsurprising that our toes are now set to get the same treatment. It’s what they deserve!

The Story Behind The ‘Cursed’ Diamonds Worn By Marilyn Monroe To Promote Gentleman Prefer Blondes
There’s a dark irony in the fact that Marilyn Monroe – the woman who sang “Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend”, in her iconic role as showgirl Lorelei Lee in 1953’s Gentleman Prefer Blondes – may herself have been a victim of the curse of a storied diamond she once wore: the 24.04-carat pear-shaped yellow Moon of Baroda.
At that time, Marilyn Monroe was riding high. Sixteen films in four years and the massive success of Niagara made her an appetising choice for the producers of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, who were looking for a more cost-effective alternative to replace Hollywood’s go-to blonde of choice, Betty Grable, whose salary demands had become stratospheric.

Should you ever ask for a dry haircut?
And no, dry haircuts are not a TikTok invention or a new trend.
“Do you know any place where I can get a good dry haircut,” a friend asked me a few weeks ago on WhatsApp, apparently hoping that a beauty editor would give her a good recommendation. I confessed to her that I didn’t quite know what it was — other than, I assumed, a haircut done with dry hair. And naturally, I asked her why she wanted one. “I want to get good bangs done,” she wrote, “and I’ve heard that’s the best way to get the perfect shape.” When I saw her later that week, she was sporting stunning ’70s-style bangs, achieved with a dry cut.

Lucy Halliday Breaks Down Daisy’s Daring ‘Testaments’ Finale — and What Elisabeth Moss Taught Her
The actress opens up about the sequel show’s bombshells
Spoilers below.
Never underestimate a teenage girl when her friends are in peril. By the end of The Testaments’s season one finale, undercover Mayday operative Daisy (Lucy Halliday) has faced off against the two most formidable figures on both sides of The Handmaid’s Tale universe: June Osborne (Elisabeth Moss) and Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd). On top of that, Daisy shares a bombshell with new best friend Agnes (Chase Infiniti): June is Agnes’s birth mother, and she isn’t the notorious monster that Gilead paints her to be.
‘For Daisy, it’s not a slip of the tongue moment,’ Halliday tells ELLE. ‘It’s a very carefully articulated, intentional statement that she’s giving. She’s purposely telling Agnes her lineage, but in a way that’s not malicious. She’s trying to give this piece of information that Daisy knows is powerful, that will transform Agnes’s life.’

The Biggest Summer 2026 Nail Trends Leverage Short Square Shapes, Sardines, and Jelly Finishes
I used to exclusively wear glossy, no-chip, crisp red-burgundy colored manicures—and pedicures to match. But years of being a beauty editor broke the spell, and I now cherish the chance to deviate and have a little fun with my nail appointments—something that is the common denominator of all summer 2026’s nail trends. “Manicures are no longer just about a color choice,” explains nail artist Olha Shtanhei. “”It’s part of your image, mood, lifestyle, confidence, and self-expression.”

From The Soft Bixie To The Feathered Bob, 5 Fresh Ways To Style Extra Short Hair In A Heatwave
Beat the heat in style with these easily air-dried, effortlessly styled crops and cuts
As joyful as British summers can be, the heat and humidity of the past week was something of a rude awakening, signalling the scorching arrival of summer. Making speedy updates to our beauty routines feels like a necessity – whether it’s adopting a sweat-proof SPF, swapping out heavy eau de parfums for airy body mists or debuting a shorter, more manageable haircut.
For the latter, inspiration for chic bobs and crops has been endless this year. But when high temperatures mean finding a balance between low-maintenance lengths, quick day-to-day styling and textures which allow for air-drying, it’s not always obvious where to start.

Crochet Wedding Dresses Are 2026’s Most Romantic Bridal Trend
In the bridal world, crochet is back in the spotlight—recasting the traditional wedding dress as something romantic, handcrafted, and surprisingly contemporary. Across the 2026 and 2027 bridal collections, there’s been a notable emphasis on intricate savoir-faire, with designers embracing the charm of handmade workmanship, including delicate weaves, openwork textures, and crochet-effect embroideries as couture-level details.
From the runways of New York Bridal Fashion Week to the collections presented at Barcelona Bridal Week, crochet emerged as a key trend, speaking to brides’ growing desire to wear gowns with a sentimental touch made to last long after the wedding. (Indeed, many of the dresses listed below work just as well for a summer party as they do for heading down the aisle.)

23 Vintage Photos of Sophia Loren Being the Ultimate European Summer Muse
The legendary Italian actor Sophia Loren is known for many things: her Oscar-winning performances, her signature feline flick of eyeliner, a few passionate love affairs, and of course, an inimitable style of style. Think: Curve-hugging midi dresses with sweetheart necklines, linen eyelet tops worn languidly off the shoulder, capri pants with a casual button-down, and structured colorful swimsuits.
And nowhere does her eye for fashion feel more at home than in the dog days of summer, where she has typically been found cruising down the Amalfi Coast and Bay of Naples, or lounging by the pool of her villa outside Rome. And when she’s not spending her days villas around Capri or Sorrento? You’ll find her on the Greek island of Hydra, cruising the Caribbean, or city-breaking in Barcelona.
Here, we pay tribute to the legendary Italian actor—and her summer vacation fashion—across 15 vintage photographs capturing her spirit of effortless, La Dolce Vita glamour. It’s proof that true style only becomes more alluring with time—much like the star herself.

We Tasted 6 Frozen Sweet Potato Fries — These Are the Best for Burgers, Sandwiches, and Beyond
Sweet potato fries can be limp and bland, but our top picks were crisp, buttery, and full of flavor.
Sweet potato fries have a tall order. Regular french fries aren’t just the iconic side to burgers, fish and chips, and steak frites — they’re an institution. While a slightly healthier option, sweet potato fries often fall flat because of their texture. Sweet potatoes contain less starch than Russets, the go-to potato for classic french fries, and starch helps give fries their signature crispy bite. Still, these orange fries have earned a devoted following, from fast casual and sit-down restaurants to celebrity kitchens.
To find the frozen sweet potato fries that deliver on flavor and texture, we grabbed six bags to determine which ones are worth the buy.

This U.S. State Has Nearly 3,000 Waterfalls—More Than Anywhere Else in the Country
The Pacific Northwest is one of the top destinations for waterfall chasers.
Waterfalls are the type of natural wonder people cross state lines, country borders, and even oceans for. Places like Niagara Falls, Victoria Falls, and Yosemite Falls are so impressive and awe-inspiring that they attract millions of visitors each year. While each of those attractions might have the name recognition, there’s another destination waterfall chasers should have on their radar.
