46 best movies based on true stories that will have you hooked
Real-life inspo actually worth watching.
The world of Hollywood is full of incredible stories. But movies based on true stories are extra special, and you wouldn’t believe some of the blockbusters that have real-life DNA.
Did you know that The Sound of Music was based on a memoir? Or that Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie star in an important #MeToo story, Bombshell? From J-Lo’s Hustlers to Dallas Buyers Club, there are so many real-life inspired movies to choose from.
We don’t blame Hollywood for turning to the world’s population for their real tales of determination, survival, romance, crime and much more. Knowing that some of our favourite movies are centred on the lives of real people leaves us with an array of emotions at the end of a film. Sometimes that is one of inspiration, sometimes of pure disgust. Other times it’s simply a heartwarming story that mirrors small elements from our lives, making our time on the sofa with a bowl of popcorn an insight into our self-discovery.

Inside the Original Dallas Cast’s Lives 48 Years After the Show Premiered
When ‘Dallas’ premiered almost 50 years ago, it created a legacy for both the franchise and the stars
Dallas premiered 48 years ago on April 2, 1978.
The CBS soap opera became an instant hit and launched the careers of several of its stars — including Larry Hagman, Ken Kercheval, Barbara Bel Geddes, Patrick Duffy and Linda Gray, among others. The show ran for 14 seasons and 13 years before it came to an end on May 3, 1991.
Although Dallas concluded in 1991, it launched the spinoff series Knots Landing, two reunion movies and a TNT revival series. Just like its generation-spanning fanbase, the show’s cast has previously looked back fondly on their time on the show.

I finally started telling my friends that I can’t afford their weddings
It’s never been so expensive to be a wedding guest, but for some, it’s less than the social cost of being upfront about money.
Welcome to being the friend who can’t afford anything, not even your lovely wedding. The one who stretches her credit card balance to attend their friends’ weddings, who stays silent because it’s better than facing the equal evils of pity or judgment. The shame of being the friend in the lowest tax bracket in a country that never wants to talk about money is debilitating, especially as peak wedding season approaches.

Amanda Peet: ‘At 54, I Love That My Boss Writes Me Sex Scenes—and Menopause Scenes’
The Your Friends & Neighbors star opens up about going through the early stages of menopause and why she’s been wanting to “key a lot of cars” the last few years.
While Mel is quietly coming to terms with her new reality, Amanda Peet, on the other hand, is proudly owning it. “Thank goodness it’s less taboo to talk about now,” Peet tells Glamour of perimenopause and menopause. “I’m 54, so I’m dealing with all of that shit, and it’s pretty hellish. It was actually really fun—and very real—that [creator and executive producer] Jonathan Tropper put it into Mel’s storyline. We saw her keying that random car last season, and God knows I’ve wanted to key a lot of cars in the last three years. People seemed to be really into that part of Mel, so we were really into the idea that she has a lot of rage.”

The best spring nail colours for women over 50
Ideal and trendy shades.
Knowing the best spring nail colours for women over 50 can make all the difference at your next appointment with your manicurist. It’s normal to become more selective with colours when you reach a certain age, but the truth is that there are plenty of trendy shades that flatter mature skin, bringing freshness, elegance, and an immediate rejuvenating effect.
The most flattering colours visually soften the skin and enhance its natural beauty. Shades such as soft pinks, delicate beiges, translucent mauves, and classic reds are safe bets for a sophisticated and contemporary manicure without looking too bold. The key is to choose colours that harmonise with the undertone of the skin.

After Sky Ferreira alleged her old demos were used on Charli xcx’s Wuthering Heights album without credit, Charli’s management team is sharing a statement on the situation.
On Saturday, April 4, Sky Ferreira dropped in a fan’s Instagram comments after they reposted a clip of the singer’s 2012 music video “Everything Is Embarrassing” on X (formerly known as Twitter). With the retweet, they questioned: “i wonder what’s her form of income.”

Wispy bangs are the easy, low-maintenance way to try a fringe this summer
Celebs from Jenna Ortega and Selena Gomez to Zoë Kravitz are obsessed.
If you’ve ever wondered ‘should I get a fringe?’ but you’re eternally worried that it might involve too much upkeep, wispy bangs make a strong case for starting with something a bit softer.
Lighter and easier to work with than a traditional full fringe, wispy bangs sit somewhere between barely-there face-framing layers and classic bangs, making them one of the easiest ways tor refresh your hair without a dramatic change. It’s an option that doesn’t just look cool but is also super low maintenance and very much lazy-girl approved.

Striped Nail Designs Are the Cool-Girl Alternative to Polka-Dot Nails
When it comes to nail art, some might argue that there are too many options to choose from. But sometimes it pays to revisit a classic—like striped nail designs.
While other motifs, like cat-eye and florals, are all great choices for your spring manicure, we’re pinning striped nails as the print that everyone will be wild about this year. Polka dots totally took over both fashion and beauty last year, and we’re expecting the same level of impact from striped-mani mania in 2026.

How to Wear Burgundy and Chartreuse, Spring’s Biggest Color Trend
It’s the season’s most unexpected pairing—and the easiest way to make your wardrobe feel current.
Wearing red and green beyond the holidays feels like some sort of sartorial crime. But it doesn’t have to be—at least according to fashion’s top-tier luxury labels. For Prada’s Spring 2026 collection, the brand styled a scrunched-up burgundy sweater over a chartreuse button-down. Not to mention, during that same fashion week circuit, similar color combinations appeared across the glitzy catwalks of Balmain and Ulla Johnson.

How to Style Linen Shorts, Summer’s Most Versatile Styling Solution
Work, dinner, weekend plans—they do it all.
If I’ve learned one thing in the last year, it’s the importance of linen to the well-rounded summer wardrobe. And once you figure out how to style linen shorts, you’ll realize the breezy bottoms are as crucial to warm-weather dressing as the classic white tee and jeans—and just as versatile too.
Of course, linen shorts are lightweight and breathable—perfect for swampy summer days—but that’s only half of the draw. The textured fabric makes for limitless styling opportunities. These shorts can feel polished and professional for work on Friday, then youthful and laid-back for a beach day on Saturday or a fancy brunch on Sunday. (Just ask Olivia Rodrigo.) They’re the summer staple that truly does it all. Need some evidence? Keep reading to find out how to style linen shorts for 2026.

Red Shoes Are Your Secret Weapon to Wear With Jeans, Skirts, and Pants This Spring
Red shoes have a rare talent: They can change the entire mood of an outfit in an instant. These are not shoes made to stay still at the back of the closet.

That’s why red shoes are capable of making even the most sober outfit memorable. When it comes to putting together a spring outfit, red is not just a pretty accent shade—it’s a total decision. With a well-chosen shoe, you get elegant precision.

What Is Tokyo-Style Pizza? Why You’re About to See It Everywhere in the US
From Tokyo institutions to Manhattan pop-ups, this pizza style is gaining a global following.
Pizza is iconic in the U.S. It’s an ever-evolving obsession for the people who spin the dough, taking on Mexican, Korean, French, and Indian influences. Now, another version is coming stateside: Tokyo-style pizza.
The interpretation landed in New York City amid fanfare in February. Two renowned Tokyo pizzaiolos, the pioneer Susumu Kakinuma and his former apprentice, Tsubasa Tamaki, each launched separate, independently planned pop-ups, which quickly sold out.
The style has already been winning the world over. Five of the World’s Best Pizza Awards went to Japan. Tamaki has fielded franchise requests from Brazil, China, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia.

Sex and the City showrunner Michael Patrick King thinks And Just Like That will ‘age well’
“If there was a great disaster, it would have been if ‘And Just Like That’ tried to be ‘Sex and the City.'”
Michael Patrick King couldn’t help but wonder: Will the world eventually come around to And Just Like That?
The showrunner discussed his polarizing Sex and the City follow-up series while promoting his other big HBO revival, The Comeback, which was resurrected in 2014 after being canceled in 2005 and has now returned for its third and final season.
“If The Comeback has taught me anything,” King told The Guardian in a new interview, “it’s that perceptions can change over the years. The Comeback’s first perception was: It failed. Then it grew in relevance as the world caught up.”

Where to Donate Formalwear and Bridesmaid Dresses to Give Them a Second Life
Turn past looks into future memories.
We get it: Decluttering formalwear can feel emotional. These pieces are often worn during significant or special life moments—but plenty of good can come from letting them go. Not only do they likely take up a significant amount of space in your closet, but your pre-loved formalwear also has the potential to become part of new memories and milestones for someone else.
“Formal dresses are often financially out of reach for many families, yet they are essential for milestone events like prom,” shares Pam Kirtman, co-chair of Becca’s Closet, a nonprofit organization dedicated to distributing formalwear to those in need. “A donated dress does more than fill a closet,” says Kirtman. “It gives confidence and the chance to fully participate in milestone experiences with their peers and to make lasting memories.”

How to Plan a Day Trip to the Palace of Versailles—France’s Most Magnificent Royal Landmark
Here’s the ultimate guide to visiting this must-see historic site from Paris.
Once a humble hunting lodge, the opulent Palace of Versailles is now a magnificent testament to the lavishness of royalty—and a symbol of the inequality that later incited the French Revolution. King Louis XIV (the “Sun King” of France) transformed this rural stretch of Île-de-France into a grand palace in 1682, when he relocated the French government, and yet its role as a royal residence was short-lived. After only two more kings (Louis XV and Louis XVI), the revolution swept the nation, and Versailles ceased to be a permanent palace for the French monarchy, which was done away with altogether in 1792.
