Madonna Turns Times Square into Night Club, Previews New Album to Kick Off Pride Month at Surprise Concert: ‘C’mon, Gays!’
The new album is the follow-up to 2005’s ‘Confessions on a Dance Floor’
Madonna turned New York City’s Times Square into a vibrant club to preview Confessions II to kick off Pride Month in partnership with Grindr.
The Queen of Pop, 67, took the stage on Thursday, June 4 in a glamorous pink corset paired with coordinating thigh-high stockings and silver lace-up boots to sing fan-favorite hits from her original 2005 album Confessions on a Dance Floor and to preview some new songs from its forthcoming follow-up.
“Hi, gays!” Madonna said, addressing the audience. Later in the show, rainbow lights flashed as photos of LGBTQIA+ trailblazers were shown on screens flanking the stage, including Marsha P. Johnson, a transgender activist known for her pivotal role in the Stonewall uprising, artist Keith Haring, and photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, whose work notably inspired Madonna’s book Sex, which featured a series of erotic photographs taken by Steven Meisel Studio and Fabien Baron.
Fresh Juice, Monster Boots, and Purple Glue Stick: 24 Hours With The Rocky Horror Show Star Luke Evans
“I possibly can never come back to New York after this experience, because I don’t think it’ll ever match it.” So says Luke Evans of making his whirlwind Broadway debut in The Rocky Horror Show this year—a job that’s earned him a Tony nomination (tune in this Sunday, June 7, to see how he fares!) and made him the temporary resident of a truly stunning aerie in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood.
The 6 summer hair cut trends that will headline 2026
If you want a jumpstart on the 2026 summer hair cut trends, we’ve got you. The change in weather has us ready and raring to overhaul our hair, with a few small tweaks or even, a major chop. We tapped up some of our favourite top hairstylists as well as incoming trend data to get the intel on the hero cuts that will be coming down the tracks.
So, here are the summer hair cut trends you need to know…
Who Is James Bond Going To Be in 2026?
Being a young Brit today is a lot like that Hannah Horvath line where she says, “any mean thing someone’s gonna think about me, I’ve already said to me, about me. Probably in the last half hour.” The economy is shit, political tensions are worse, Twitter calls us “beans on toast country.” And Europe keeps on voting us to the very bottom of the Eurovision table.
So, in many ways, thank a god who doesn’t exist for James Bond. Like the Beatles, the Spice Girls and Paddington Bear, these 20th century cultural institutions transcend merely being British; instead, they’ve come to define what being British is: a cultural export. Which, in the case of James Bond, encompasses style, bravado, unparalleled rizz.
People Are Adding Frozen Pickles to Sauvignon Blanc This Summer — So We Tried It
Jalapeños in white wine were all the rage last year, but this summer is the pickle’s time to shine.
Last summer, social media users decided that their warm-weather beverage of choice would be an unusual yet simple combination: crisp glasses of Sauvignon Blanc with slices of frozen jalapeño floating inside. Although it isn’t a trend we’d strongly recommend, this two-ingredient combo made sense. Sauvignon Blancs tend to have aromas of green pepper, so it isn’t surprising that people would associate them with jalapeños.
This year’s Sauvignon Blanc-centric fad is somehow even more surprising. According to the latest influx of videos on TikTok and Instagram, consumers are adding frozen pickles to the crisp white wine this summer. They’re even taking it a step further by adding ice and a splash of pickle brine, creating what’s effectively a two-ingredient white wine cocktail.

30 Best Graphic Novels for Kids, According to Kids Themselves
Want your child to continue reading for fun? Give them some great graphic novels.
I’ve been running a kids’ book award program for 15+ years, and I’ve noticed that tweens who read graphic novels for fun are more likely to still be reading for pleasure when they reach college. These books swoop in at a stage when some kids perceive reading as hard or boring, and help these readers-in-training get over that hump. Fast-forward a few years, and reading outside of school work has cemented itself as habit.
Instead of rushing your child out of graphic novels because they’re not “real books,” champion the category. We’ve rounded up more than two dozen choices—many are favorites from the annual Good Housekeeping Kids’ Book Awards, which are chosen based on feedback from kids—and one even beat out text-heavy novels to receive the top prize in children’s literature.
How to style a midiskirt like a fashion editor this summer
9 fresh outfit ideas for the most versatile piece in your wardrobe.
I’m a big fan of a midiskirt. Whether you’re headed to the office, popping into a garden party or running errands in the city, they can be styled in many ways depending on the weather, and still add a touch of elegance without too much thought or effort.
One of the reasons the midiskirt remains such a fashion-editor favourite is its versatility. On cooler or rainier summer days, style it with a denim jacket, boots and a simple tank. When temperatures climb, swap in strappy sandals, a halterneck top or an oversized linen shirt for a look that feels relaxed yet elevated. Whether you favour sleek satin styles, romantic broderie anglaise or minimalist cotton poplin silhouettes, there’s a midiskirt outfit to suit every aesthetic.
‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’s’ Wedding Look Was Inspired by Alexander McQueen and Fish Bones
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy” showrunner Alex Kurtzman has been vocal about his love for luxury fashion designer Alexander McQueen. It was one name that came up in conversations with the show’s costume designer, Avery Plewes, when they were brainstorming ideas for the series’ wedding episode.
The series takes place in the 32nd century after the events of “Star Trek: Discovery,” with Starfleet relaunching the titular educational institution outside San Francisco after the Federation’s absence on Earth for more than 120 years.
Bobs For Mature Hair: 3 Elegant Cuts To Try This Summer, From The ‘Collar-Bob’ To Blunt Layers
Considering a fresh chop? Here’s why the bob is here to stay…
The desire for bob haircuts is at an all time high. From tousled French bobs to exquisite blunt cuts with pristine ends, there are now endless ways to embrace this shorter style. No matter your age or aesthetic, a good hairstylist will always talk through your lifestyle and personal style to find the perfect bob for you.
While anyone can sport any cut they choose, hair does naturally change as we age. ‘Strands often become finer, drier and slightly less dense as we move through our 50s. What worked 20 years ago may not now be the best, and wondering why it worked then, and not now, is a sign to rethink your approach. It might also be the time to switch your hair care routine,’ agrees Michael Lendon, creative director at Aveda.
If you’re looking for new haircut inspiration for the summer ahead, you’re in luck. We went straight to the experts to find out the best bobs this season.
Brightly Coloured Trainers Are Summer’s Statement Style. These Are The 10 Best, From Nike To Adidas
Now is the time to move beyond neutrals and experiment with a brighter palette.
Haven’t you heard? Colour is in for 2026. As seen on the SS26 runways, expressing yourself through bold shades and pastel hues has usurped more pared-back approaches to style. Spearheaded by the likes of Prada, whose chartreuse green dress has been proliferating on social feeds, to Chanel, whose Grand Palais presentation was a joyful explosion of colour, and then Alaia, where Pieter Mulier made a case for bright reds, butter yellows and varying shades of pink – each house declared now is the time to move beyond neutrals and experiment with a brighter palette.
Chrome Nails Remain the Ultimate Fashion-Girl Manicure—Here Are 27 Manicure Ideas to Try
It’s time to go full metal.
It might seem like neutral shades are taking over every finger and toe in Hollywood, but mark my words: 2026 is seeing a major chrome manicure renaissance. “Chrome nails are such a timeless look and never go out of style,” Zola Ganzorigt, a celebrity nail artist and OPI Global Ambassador who is responsible for launching glazed nails into superstardom, tells Marie Claire. “It’s a great way to elevate your nail look, and gives the nail dimension. It can be applied to any nail color and completely transforms the way the shade appears.”
Pope Leo Will Inaugurate the Sagrada Família’s Final Tower on the Anniversary of Gaudí’s Death
The Barcelona basilica is finally nearing its long-awaited completion after almost 150 years.
Barcelona’s Sagrada Família will mark the symbolic completion of its final tower on June 10, when Pope Leo XIV travels to the city to bless the tower in a mass coinciding with the centennial of architect Antoni Gaudí’s death. Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez will be among those in attendance. The basilica has been under construction for 144 years, but it has been open to visitors throughout most of that time. However, remaining architectural and decorative work is expected to continue through 2034.
The tower, the basilica’s 18th and final one, was completed in February, making the Sagrada Família the tallest church in the world at 172.5 meters (566 feet). It is topped by a four-arm cross made of glass and white ceramic, designed to shine day and night, a specification that Gaudí insisted upon. A devout Catholic, Gaudí designed the tower to stop just short of the nearby Montjuïc hill’s 177 meters (581 feet), holding to his belief that no human construction should seek to surpass the work of God.
A Short-Sleeve Blazer Is My Secret to a Chic Office Outfit This Summer
I’m so glad it’s back in style.
Dressing well in the summer for the office always involves some level of negotiating. Do I want to look put together and professional? Or do I want to melt in the heat? Wearing a third layer is an option, but it usually means accepting that my blazer will end up hanging on my arm before 11 in the morning. But just when it seemed like a white shirt was my best and only option, the short-sleeve blazer has reentered the conversation.
While short-sleeve blazers technically never went away, they had a dated feel about them. But we’re starting to see them again on cool street-style stars, paired with worn-out ballet flats and a satin skirt. That might not be the right combo for someone dressing for an air-conditioned office, but it does go to show how versatile the piece can be.
8 Citrus Perfumes That Use Every Part of the Fruit, From Pulp to Rind
With juicy mandarin, blood orange, and crisp bergamot.
It’s a classic summer scene: You’re strolling through a farmer’s market on a weekend afternoon, and the UV index is at its peak. You spot a stand selling freshly squeezed lemonade; at first, it seems too good to be true, like a mirage. You order a cup with condensation dripping down its sides, and feel the relief wash over you in the first sip. Citrus perfumes capture that same refreshing quality, regardless of where you are.
A good citrus scent isn’t quite as linear as a cup of lemonade, though. The fragrance varies wildly based on the fruit and the part of the tree used. Take neroli, for instance—the fresh, floral aroma is distilled from the flowers of a bitter orange tree, and smells completely different from an actual orange. Or, look to yuzu—the fruit is sometimes startlingly tart, especially if the perfumer takes inspiration from its rind instead of the juice inside.

How to Arrange Your Bedroom for a Better Night’s Sleep, According to Experts
These simple changes could make all the difference in your rest.
Arranging your bedroom to create a calm environment can positively affect your ability to relax and unwind at the end of the day. Since the brain forms strong associations between environments and behaviors, when a bedroom feels calm, organized, and emotionally safe, it signals to the nervous system that it’s time to wind down and begin to rest, explains Dr. Michael Wetter, a clinical psychologist. On the other hand, having a bedroom that feels overstimulating or chaotic can make it difficult for the mind and body to disengage from stress.
That’s one reason hotel rooms often feel so restorative—even when they’re not particularly luxurious. They’re intentionally edited so nothing competes for attention, explains Orna Fathers,lead designer and home organization specialist. Re-creating that same sense of calm at home starts with thoughtful design choices.
This National Park Was Just Named the Most Untouched in Europe—and It Has Glacial Lakes, Pine Forests, and Dark Skies
A new study ranked parks based on wilderness, biodiversity, and minimal human impact.
When it comes to European travel, calling any place “untouched” can feel like a stretch, especially as overtourism continues to shape much of the continent, from Barcelona to the Alps. It makes sense, then, that more travelers are proactively seeking out destinations that promise a bit more space and quiet.
A new study from active travel specialists Love Velo compiled a list of 100 of Europe’s best national parks based on how natural they really are. Instead of focusing on popularity, the rankings look at preserved habitats, park size, elevation, biodiversity, and artificial light levels, factors that together show how much a given landscape remains untouched by human activity.
