Aida Turturro, who is best known for playing free-spirited Janice on The Sopranos, is looking svelte and healthy these days.

The beloved actress, 63, earned two Emmy nominations for her role as the chaotic sister of Tony Soprano, played by James Gandolfini, on the iconic HBO series. Janice, often known for sweeping into town and creating mayhem wherever she landed, also forged several hectic romantic relationships during her run on the series. Without any major spoilers, let's just say that you won't want to miss Janice's tumultuous storylines on the memorable series.

While The Sopranos concluded in 2007, the cast has managed to stay close. This week, Turturro took to social media to share a photo from a lunch reunion with two of her costars: Steven Van Zandt, who played Silvio Dante, and Steve Schirripa, who played Bobby Bacala on the series. Looking extremely svelte and healthy, Turturro smiled brightly alongside her former costars.

"Lunch with the boys❤️," she captioned the shot.

What Has Aida Turturro Said about Living With Diabetes?

Turturro has spoken openly about her health issues, which have included rheumatoid arthritis and type 2 diabetes. In a 2017 interview with Ability Magazine, the actress spoke about how she discovered she had diabetes and came to realize she needed to take it seriously.

"A couple of years ago, my doctor said, 'Listen, your blood sugars have been out of control. Do you understand that if you don’t take care of this, you’re putting yourself at risk for problems like kidney disease, heart failure, blindness, neuropathy, possibly even death,' and it finally hit me," Turturro shared. "She told me I wasn’t controlling my diabetes with diet and oral medications, and I really needed to start insulin. So I did, and that was really the first time I took charge of my disease. I was scared about taking insulin, but if someone said, “You have cancer, and you really need to start chemo,' would you say no? Of course not."

What's Aida Turturro Up To These Days?

It's quite a departure from her role on The Sopranos, but Turturro is a frequent face on Law & Order: SVU, where she has played Judge Felicia Catano occasionally since around 2013. Who doesn't love to see the star with a gavel in her hand?

The former Prince Andrew, now Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, has been spotted publicly for the first time since his February arrest, which took place on his 66th birthday. The ex-prince was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, but he was reportedly released from custody later that same day.

It has been more than a month since that arrest, and Mountbatten-Windsor has now been seen walking his dogs, alongside a bodyguard. Per People, the former royal was spotted in Norfolk, on the Sandringham Estate, on Saturday, March 21.

Mountbatten-Windsor and his family have been the focus of public attention for several years now, due to Mountbatten-Windsor's connection to the late convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, which resulted in years of legal and personal troubles for Queen Elizabeth II's third-born child.

In addition to a lawsuit brought against Mountbatten-Windsor by Virginia Giuffre, who alleged that the then-prince had sexually abused her when she was a teenager, Mountbatten-Windsor has been stripped of his royal titles, duties and benefits on a rolling basis for the last several years. Giuffre's case against Mountbatten-Windsor concluded with an out-of-court settlement in 2022.

The same year, it was announced that Mountbatten-Windsor would no longer be using his "HRH" (His Royal Highness) title and that he would be stepping back from royal duties. However, in 2025, King Charles IIIformerly stripped Mountbatten-Windsor of his royal titles and duties, including that of prince.

Mountbatten-Windsor isn't the only member of his branch of the British royal family who has been making headlines of late, though. His ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson (often referred to by her nickname, Fergie), was also recently accused of sharing her goddaughter's contact information with Epstein in 2010.

Mountbatten-Windsor and Ferguson's two daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugeniehave seemed to largely keep away from the scandals regarding their parents, although it was recently reported that they were banned from the Royal Ascot amid these allegations against their parents.

Best-selling author Carley Fortune is once again capturing readers'’' attention with her latest novel, even before it hits shelves.

Her upcoming book, Our Perfect Storm, has been ranked the No. 1 most anticipated romance on Goodreads among titles publishing in the U.S. between March and May. According to Goodreads, the list is based on how many users have added each book to their "want-to-read" shelves, offering a snapshot of which upcoming releases are generating the most excitement.

Fortune is already a fan-favorite in the romance genre, known for bestselling novels like Every Summer After and One Golden Summer, both of which helped cement her reputation for emotionally rich, character-driven love stories.

Our Perfect Storm follows longtime best friends Frankie and George, whose complicated relationship is put to the ultimate test. On the eve of Frankie's wedding, tensions linger between the two until a sudden twist changes everything. After Frankie's fiancé abruptly calls off the wedding, she's left heartbroken and searching for answers.

In an unexpected turn, George suggests they take her honeymoon together, traveling to the ruggedly beautiful coast of Tofino. What begins as a chance to heal quickly becomes something deeper, as the pair confront years of unspoken feelings, buried truths and the possibility that their friendship could become something more or fall apart entirely.

With its mix of emotional stakes, romantic tension and a picturesque setting, Our Perfect Storm, which is expected May 5, 2026, is already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about love stories of the season.

"The setting is always a deliberate choice," says Fortune of her process for writing her novels. "The story ideas kind of come out of the setting. One Golden Summer is set in Barry;s Bay, which is a small town in eastern Ontario where I grew up. And it’s teeny tiny, just 1,200 people. I grew up on the lake—very rural, very isolated. My parents sold that house when I was in my early twenties, but I keep going back to the area."

Our Perfect Storm is no exception.

"It takes place mostly in Tofino, which is this incredible, small community on the west coast of Vancouver Island," she said. "It’s as far west in Canada as you can go and it’s surrounded by rainforests and misty beaches. It’s really the story of their friendship and falling in love and trying to figure out where you are. I’m really proud of it. I think it’s my best book.

With early reader interest pushing it to the top of Goodreads' most anticipated list, Fortune's latest novel is poised to be a must-read for romance fans.

Little Debbie's famous Oatmeal Creme Pies are getting a "yummy" reimagining, and it's not one shoppers will find in the regular snack aisle.

The famous snack-sized cookie sandwich has been a favorite for decades, and if you didn't know, it was actually inspired by another popular treat at the time of its 1935 debut. Per the Little Debbie website, during the Great Depression, O.D. McKee began experimenting with his bakery's hard oatmeal cookies and changed the recipe to create softer cookies, which he then sandwiched with a "fluffy" and light creme filling.

Now, over 90 years later, the soft, gooey, nostalgic treat has inspired several spin-offs of its own. Ones that bring new flavors (such as Banana Puddin' Creme Pies and the seasonal Pumpkin Spice variety) and new formats (including pints of ice cream) to satisfy fan cravings—even ones they didn't know they had.

Building on its partnership with Hudsonville Ice Cream, Little Debbie is apparently launching an ice cream bar version of its beloved Oatmeal Creme Pies.

Little Debbie's Oatmeal Creme Pies Reimagined as Hudsonville Ice Cream Bars

Eagle-eyed shoppers spotted the new frozen treat in stores this past weekend, with at least one fan grabbing a box to try at home.

"It's a little chewy, but these taste just like you would imagine they would taste," food blogger On Second Scoop wrote in a March 21 Instagram upload. "I definitely thought of Oatmeal creme pies while I was eating these," they added, noting that the "chunks [of Oatmeal Creme Pies] and the ice cream itself are both a bit chewy, but still a fun treat that I will be buying again."

According to a description on the box, the new treat features vanilla creme-flavored ice cream that's packed with "real Oatmeal Cookie pieces." The boxes include four 3.5-ounce bars, and prices start at about $5.69 per its current Instacart listing. Each serving size includes 160 calories, 7 grams of fat, 18 grams of sugar and 2 grams of protein.

"OH EMM DEBBIE!🙌🏻," influencer Markie_Devo cheered in a separate upload, "As if the sandwiches were not enough!!"

"Summer is coming Little Debra," another fan teased, "please get your knee off our necks 😭."

A third joked, "Sounds like Debbie is getting kinda personal."

"At least its classified as ice cream not [frozen dairy] dessert," someone else shared.

"Yummy!" another cheered, while a different social media user called it "quite the find."

Others only seemed interested in the bars because they still haven't been able to get their hands on the Little Debbie x Hudsonville ice cream sandwiches.

"I want them sandwiches to show up somewhere. Pass on the bars," one suggested while one more lamented: "I guess I’ll have to take this, since I can’t get the sandwich 😢."

Where Are the Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie Ice Cream Bars Available?

As of writing, it's unclear which stores are stocking the new Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie Ice Cream Bars or whether it's being released as an exclusive to any one family of stores.

While neither Little Debbie nor Hudsonville Ice Cream has officially announced the new ice cream bars, we'd expect them to be stocked at retailers carrying the related ice cream bars, pints and sandwich flavors (Kroger, Giant, Walmart, etc) and will likely become easier to find in the coming weeks, as it appears to have only begun rolling out for the spring-summer season.

A spokesperson was not immediately available at the time of publishing; we will update this story with any relevant information that may be shared.

Why do some people live into the triple digits while others die prematurely in mid-life? It’s a complicated question, and often, it doesn’t boil down to just one factor. Certainly, no one can control how long they live completely, particularly when you consider that accidents are the third leading cause of death in the U.S.

That said, you can control how long you’ll likely live more than you probably realize. The risks of many of the other leading causes of death (including cardiovascular disease, cancer and strokes) can be drastically reduced by having healthy habits in place.

Life-lengthening habits include eating a nutrient-rich diet, exercising regularly, not smoking, wearing sunscreen when you’re in the sun for extended periods of time, consistently getting enough sleep and having effective stress management habits in place.

But which of these habits is the most important when it comes to longevity? Part of what makes this question hard to answer is that many people who prioritize their well-being have more than one healthy habit in place. This can make it difficult to know if their longevity is due more to their diet than their exercise habits, for example. 

That said, there’s one habit that’s so intricately connected to healthy lifespans that it’s hard not to believe that it’s one of, if not the, most important habit for longevity.

The Habit That Matters Most for Longevity, According to Doctors

Wavebreakmedia/Getty Images

If you want to adopt one habit that’s repeatedly shown to add years to your life, you can’t top living an active lifestyle. All three doctors and longevity specialists we talked to said that it’s hands-down a crucial habit for longevity. 

“Physical activity doesn’t just strengthen your heart or burn calories. It reaches into nearly every organ system in your body and fundamentally changes your biology,” says Dr. Dawn Mussallem, DO, a lifestyle medicine doctor, Mayo Clinic consultant and chief medical officer at Fountain Life.

According to a study published in JAMA Network Open, people who live an active lifestyle have a 29 to 36% lower risk of all-cause mortality than people who are inactive. Dr. Massallem says that there are several reasons for this. One is that regular exercise strengthens the cardiovascular system, making it less susceptible to heart disease, which is the leading cause of death in the U.S. 

Longevity physicianDr. Jennifer Timmons, MD, echoes this. “It affects you on a physiological level by improving your cardiovascular system, lowering your blood pressure, improving blood flow and supporting your endothelial function, which is the lining of the blood vessels,” she says. Additionally, Dr. Timmons notes that living an active lifestyle lowers the risk of obesity, a medical condition that significantly reduces life expectancy.

Improving Health at the Cellular Level

Dr. Natalia Sadowski, MD, an internal medicine doctor, geriatrician and photobiomodulation advisor to Recharge Health, tells Parade that exercise improves health deep down at the cellular level, improving mitochondrial efficiency, which helps maintain the body’s ability to produce cellular energy as we age.

“In simple terms, movement tells the body to stay adaptable and resilient. Decades of population research consistently show that people who remain moderately active throughout life experience lower rates of cardiovascular disease, metabolic illness and cognitive decline,” she explains.

Dr. Timmons adds to this, saying that on a cellular level, being active protects DNA by keeping the telomeres in cells lengthened. “These naturally get shorter as you age, and walking and staying active increases telomerase activity, the enzyme that helps your telomeres stay strong,” she says.

As if these benefits weren’t enough to motivate you to be more active, Dr. Mussallem adds that exercise majorly benefits brain health too. “A landmark 2025 analysis of more than 4,300 adults followed for up to 37 years found that people with the highest physical activity levels in midlife and late life had a 45% lower risk of developing all-cause dementia—including Alzheimer’s disease—compared to the least active. Critically, this protective effect held even for carriers of the APOE ε4 allele—the strongest known genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s. Exercise is one of the most powerful interventions we have for preserving cognitive function as we age,” she says.

How Much Exercise Is Needed To Actually Increase Longevity?

It’s clear that living an active lifestyle is intricately linked to longevity. But how much exercise should you aim to get regularly for it to have a noticeable impact on your lifespan? All three doctors say that any amount of exercise is beneficial, and the more active you are, the more your health will benefit.

“Benefits begin at approximately 2,600 to 2,800 steps per day, which is roughly 20 to 25 minutes of walking. That’s where mortality risk starts to bend,” Dr. Mussallem says, citing a 2023 scientific study published in Cureus. Both Dr. Mussallem and Dr. Timmons explain that the benefits of exercising make an even more substantial impact on longevity when increased to getting at least 7,000 steps a day. 

That said, Dr. Mussallem recommends aiming for getting at least 8,800 to 10,000 steps a day to really impact your longevity. “[This] represents roughly a 36% absolute risk reduction compared to the least active individuals. That’s about 60 to 75 minutes of walking—but not necessarily all at once,” she shares.

Dr. Sadowski emphasizes that physical activity doesn’t have to be super intense to add years to your life. She says regular walking can be a powerful form of moderate exercise because it activates large muscle groups, improves circulation and supports metabolic health without placing excessive stress on the body. 

“From a longevity perspective, consistency matters far more than intensity. Walking is also highly sustainable. It is something most people can continue for decades, and that long-term consistency is exactly what protects health over time,” she notes.

How To Work More Movement Into Your Daily Routine

If you want to live a more active lifestyle, Dr. Sadowski recommends weaving movement into routines that already exist. This can look like walking after meals, while talking on the phone, parking farther away and choosing the stairs instead of the elevator. 

Dr. Timmons also recommends walking after meals as a way to integrate more movement into your routine. “Walking after a meal is especially beneficial because, in addition to the general health benefits, it helps lower your blood sugar and manage your glucose from food,” she says.

Dr. Timmons is also a fan of “exercise snacks,” which are small bursts of movement throughout the day. “For example, every time you go to the bathroom, you could do 10 squats, or you could set an alarm and do 10 squats every hour when you get up from your desk,” she says.

If you don’t typically enjoy exercise, using it as a form of social connection could change the way you think about it, such as going on neighborhood walks with a friend or taking a group fitness class at your local gym. Dr. Mussallem says that group-based programs with goal setting, progress monitoring and social support are among the most effective for long-term behavior change.  

“It’s important to find something you love to do that involves movement,” Dr. Timmons says. “That could be a sport or any activity that feels enjoyable, rather than just going to the gym and grinding through a workout. It’s even better if it’s social, like tennis, where you can combine movement with connection.”

When you start integrating more movement into your routine, you’ll likely find yourself wanting to live healthier in other ways too, such as eating nutrient-rich meals that provide you with the energy you need to sustain your physical activity levels. This positive domino effect is what will have the biggest impact on your longevity. The more you support your health, the more it will support you!

Iconic actor William Shatner is celebrating an equally iconic milestone birthday.

Shatner, whose career has spanned more than six decades, turns 95 on Sunday. He first rose to fame in the 1960s as Captain James T. Kirk on Star Trek, a role that would become one of the most recognizable in television history and help define science fiction for generations.

"I thought of Kirk as being so courageous in life that when he faced things that he didn't know about, like the strange, the weird… the entities that the writers thought up, when he faced death, he would face death with a sense of adventure. 'Oh, what's going to happen now?'" Shatner told ScreenRant in 2024.

While Star Trek made him a household name, Shatner continued to build a long and varied career across television and film. Decades after his initial rise to fame, he earned major critical acclaim for his work on the legal dramas The Practice and Boston Legal.

In 2004, Shatner won a Primetime Emmy Awards award for Outstanding Guest Actor In A Drama Series for his role as the eccentric and sharp-witted Denny Crane on The Practice. The following year, he won another Emmy, this time for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for reprising his role in The Practice's spinoff, Boston Legal. The back to back wins marked a major career milestone and introduced him to a new generation of viewers.

Beyond acting, Shatner has also worked as an author, director and producer, and has remained active well into his later years. In 2021, he even made headlines by traveling to space, becoming the oldest person to do so at the time.

And yet, Shatner never seems to look his age, nor does he show any signs of slowing down.

"I don't have any secret potions," he told The Guardian in 2021. "It must be genetic. I ride a lot of horses and I'm into the bewilderment of the world, so I open my heart and head into the curiosity of how things work."

As William Shatner turns 95, his enduring legacy, from pioneering science fiction television to award-winning performances, continues to captivate audiences around the world.

Tiramisu is a classic Italian dessert made with layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, mascarpone cream, and cocoa powder.

How to Freeze Costco's Cheesecake to Enjoy Later

If the full 4.8-pound cake feels like more than you need, cheesecake freezes well when handled properly. For best results, slice it into individual portions, then wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap, followed by foil, or place in an airtight container. This helps protect the texture and prevent freezer burn.

When you're ready to enjoy it, transfer a slice to the refrigerator and let it thaw overnight. Cheesecake typically holds its structure after freezing, making it a solid option to keep on hand for future cravings or last-minute gatherings.

For anyone who enjoys tiramisu flavors and the creamy texture of cheesecake, this returning bakery favorite is an easy one to keep in mind on your next Costco run.

When we flip our calendars to September, a month that marks the end of sultry summer and transition into harvest time, it’s almost as though we’re instantly compelled to begin striking a balance that can feel truly challenging to achieve. Even if school is back in session, and summer clothes are supposed to be shoved to the back of your closet after Labor Day, we still experience a desire to make the most of the dwindling bright, sunny days of an especially fun-filled time of year. At the same time, we want to revel in the beginning of autumn, a brisk, industrious, and social season. We’re equal parts itching to plan ahead, mapping out future trails with great precision, and eager to think in a big picture, initiative-taking way. This is the result of the astrological energies that are at play during the ninth month of the year. 

Whether you’re a September-born person yourself or you care about someone who is, keep reading to learn how the ninth month of the year influences a person’s perspective, strengths, and even challenges.

The Astrology of Being Born in September

People born in September fall under one of two zodiac signs: analytical and intuitive Virgo (August 23 - September 22) and partnership-oriented, beauty-adoring Libra (September 23 - October 22). People born when the sun is moving through Virgo, symbolized by the Maiden, are service-oriented, thoughtful, meticulous, analytical, intuitive, and highly adept communicators. As the mutable earth sign, they’ll apply their high mental energy and research-savvy to going out of their way to help others, especially their nearest and dearest, but they can also struggle with indecision and worry. Meanwhile, people who were born when the sun was moving through Libra, symbolized by the Scales, are born to be diplomatic peacemakers, generally seeking harmony, balance, and beauty. They’re innately social butterflies who love to play host for a crowd, but when it comes to their personal lives, they’d prefer to pair up and relate one-on-one — the result of being associated with the Seventh House of Partnership. And as the cardinal air sign, they’re visionaries who enjoy thinking in a big picture way, coming up with sweeping ideas that they’re eager to kick off — but may struggle with follow-through on. In turn, these energies combine to mirror the nature of this summer-to-autumn transitional month that inspires us to gaze down the road, map out where we want to go from here, and what we want to achieve before the year comes to an end. 

4 Core Personality Traits of Those Born in September1. People-Oriented

Whether they adore offering their loved ones lots of time spent helping them with their everyday to-dos or planning the ultimate social event, people born in September are devoted to their family members and social circles. If they’re more influenced by the mutable earth sign Virgo, they’ll selflessly pour all their energy into researching and doing all the legwork, including time-consuming minutiae, to help someone they care about and show them how much they matter. (In fact, Virgos tend to be some of the most industrious lightworkers of the zodiac.) And if they have a strong Libran presence in their birth chart, they’ll cast a wide net to become friendly with just about anyone and everyone they connect with, and they’re equally quick to become one half of a dynamic duo alongside a significant other or best friend. 

2. Inventive

People whose nature is colored by Virgo are brainy, creative, and capable of turning their bright ideas into master game plans. They love to make sense of the world by creating and following to-do lists, writing out their chores and objectives on a master calendar, or diving into rewarding self-work that involves constantly assessing their approach to making their wishes a reality. This confidence mixed with a penchant for planning and organizing reflects September’s frequently sunny days that morph into back-to-school vibes. At the same time, people with a stronger Libra influence naturally come up with grand, sweeping ideas, often related to bringing more peace or beauty into a particular space or experience. Their innovative takes set the stage for them to take up the role of a true leader. 

3. Go-getter

Born in a month that flips the script from lazy, sunny summertime to bold, industrious fall, people who came into the world in September are generally fairly driven and eager to make bold moves to conquer their goals. Virgo-informed people are planners who will think through every significant detail of their approach before thoughtfully moving toward their objective while Libra-influenced people, guided by their high ideals and artistic point of view, set ambitious goals they’ll pursue in a competitive — albeit simultaneously diplomatic and harmony-seeking — way. 

4. Romantic

People who have strong Virgo in their birth chart are quiet romantics who think through every last detail of how they’d like to be wooed or how they would cherish someone they care about. Though they’re innately rational and analytical, they’re also capable of being quite intuitive and imaginative — two traits that inform their romanticism. And those who have more Libra in their birth chart are huge fans of elegant, heartfelt displays of affection, eager to blend beauty, bliss, and their penchant for partnership into the perfect fairy tale experience with someone special.

As women gained more freedom in the 20th century, their go-to styles changed so much as well. The shift from the 1950s to1960s fashion is stark. With the rise of second-wave feminism, gone were the big, poofy skirts and pumps—replaced by micro-minis and block-heeled boots. Few people personify this switch better than '60s fashion icon Jackie Kennedy Onassis.

Following her husband, John F. Kennedy's, assassination in 1963, Jackie married Greek businessman Aristotle Onassis in 1968. As she left behind her White House life (and its modest skirt suits) for time split between New York and the Greek islands, she embraced a more relaxed aesthetic complete with her infamous bug-eyed sunglasses. She wasn't the only fashion icon of the era, though. Parade consulted two celebrity stylists to learn more about the looks of the time—and to see which of these trends are starting to reappear on the runways in 2026.

Anna Khitrina has styled models like Leni Klum, Daphne Groeneveld and Maye Musk for magazines like Harper's Bazaar and Elle. Andrea Walker-Leidy is the Walker Publicity founder and president and personal brand stylist behind Look On Purpose, and she's styled on-air personalities for the NBC affiliate WDIV-TV, among others. Together, the two stylists share the standout '60s fashion trends that still make an impact even 60 years later.

What Was Fashion Like in the 1960s?

In this decade, Walker-Leidy says, "self-expression becomes a part of fashion." She adds that designers started intentionally creating "for younger women rather than society wives." Due to this, a lot of the popular designs also skewed younger.

One of the biggest 1960s fashion trends was "the popularization of the mini skirt by [British designer] Mary Quant," says Khitrina.

"It was all enormously appealing to teenagers and women in their early twenties—the generation that drove the 'Youthquake' movement and shaped the decade’s style," she adds.

In addition to shorter skirts, she also highlights pantsuits as a popular trend, with designer Yves Saint Laurent debuting the 1966 ready-to-wear line filled with women's tuxedos (like the infamous Le Smoking suit), trousers and more. Plus, the '60s race to land men on the moon lent itself to a futuristic, Space Age style featuring "sculptural silhouettes, PVC, metallic fabrics and silver vinyl," Khitrina adds.

Who Were Popular 1960s Fashion Icons?

Undeniably, Jackie Kennedy (or Jackie O, as she became known following her second marriage) was one of the biggest fashion influences of this decade, says Walker-Leidy. She adds that Audrey Hepburn was another one, as was the British model Twiggy in the latter half of the decade.

Additionally, Khitrina cites French actress Catherine Deneuve as "a muse of Yves Saint Laurent" who was known for wearing "Le Smoking" as well as trench coats and minidresses.

She also names Brigitte Bardot, another French actress, as a big style icon of the time, wearing "the shortest hemlines, square sunglasses, with her signature voluminous hair."

What Parts of 1960s Fashion Are Coming Back in 2026?

Khitrina says that the modern runways have recently included nods to the '60s.

"For [spring /summer 2026], several collections revisited the A-line mini skirts and dresses that defined the 1960s, with variations appearing on the runways of Loewe, Burberry and Tod’s," she shares. "Paul Costelloe’s SS26 show was perhaps the most literal nod to the decade, featuring retro-inspired minidresses in pastel colors paired with classic 60s-style hairdos."

She again saw '60s trends appear on the fall/winter 2026 runways.

"Designers such as Courrèges, Sandy Liang and Hui presented more modern interpretations of the 1960s aesthetic. Vaquera was inspired by 1960s surrealism, which resulted in a collection of tops and dresses made out of some abstracted shapes," she says, adding that "the most playful take on the 1960s" was seen at Laura Andraschko's Soho Dolls show.

"[It featured] minidresses, double-breasted mini pea coats loved by Twiggy, sculptural 1960s beehives and smoky eyes," she says.

"This look is so quintessentially 1960s," Khitrina says of this 1967 photo of designer Mary Quant. Khitrina adds that this style—a short A-line dress in a bold color with tall boots—was "embodying the newfound freedoms of the decade."

3. Simple patterns

Though some '60s fashion styles did the most, Walker-Leidy also loves the uncomplicated looks of the time.

"Twiggy was the '60s personified," she says of this 1966 photo of the British model, whose real name was Lesley Hornby. "Shift dresses and bold statement pieces merged with simple patterns."

Twiggy's giant earrings shine against the simplicity of the minidress in the linked photo.

4. Futuristic fabrics

"Brigitte Bardot's look captures the futuristic mood of the decade," Khitrina says of this glossy mini coat and matching over-the-knee boots that the actress wore in 1968. Khitrina says shiny patent leather and vinyl were popular materials of the decade.

5. Elevated casuals

"Jackie O was a timeless, classic fashion icon with looks and trends we still hold on to today," says Walker-Leidy.

Jackie would pair basics like a short-sleeve sweater top with pants and sandals, plus her "ever-classic oversized sunglasses" and a funky belt for "casual looks [that] were elevated and elegant," Walker-Leidy adds.

6. Florals

Bold prints definitely helped define the '60s, with florals being a common go-to. Khitrina describes this 1964 look as "A Palm Beach version of 1960s style by the poolside."

She loves these "elegant floral sleeveless minidresses paired with matching headscarves."

7. Bold accessories

Lee Radziwill, Jackie Onassis's sister, was a fashion icon in her own right. Khitrina highlights her bold accessorizing choices in this 1968 image.

"I love the polished yet effortless look," Khitrina says. "[She's wearing] a shirt-style minidress cinched with a bold chain-link belt, paired with oversized sunglasses, a structured shoulder bag and low-heeled Roger Vivier pumps."

Sam Kieth, the comic book creator best known for The Maxx and for helping launch Neil Gaiman's The Sandman, died March 15, 2026. He was 63. The cause was Lewy body dementia, a degenerative disease described as a combination of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

Kieth was born January 11, 1963, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He began his career as a teenager, with his earliest notable work as inker on Matt Wagner's Mage: The Hero Discovered. By the late 1980s, he had landed at DC Comics, where his trajectory would take a turn that altered comics history.

In 1989, Kieth helped co-create Sandmanwith Neil Gaiman and penciled the first five issues. The series went on to become one of the most celebrated runs in comics, later adapted into a Netflixtelevision series. His early issues helped establish the eerie, dreamlike tone that would become a hallmark of the series. Kieth eventually stepped away from Sandman, later saying in interviews that the book's direction wasn't the right fit for him, in a candor that endeared him to fans.

Around that same period, he co-created the original graphic novel Epicurus the Sage with William Messner-Loebs, and later produced a run of Wolverine stories in Marvel ComicsPresentsthat became a bestseller.

It was his own creation, though, that defined him. In 1993, Kieth launched The Maxx at Image Comics, scripted by Messner-Loebs. The series followed a purple-clad homeless man living in a cardboard box who inhabits two realities, struggling with homelessness and mental health in the real world, while serving as a powerful protector in a surreal alternate realm called the Outback. Themes of trauma, identity, and alternate realities were central to its narrative. The series ran 35 issues and was adapted as an animated series using Kieth's own art.

Kieth's work was instantly recognizable, with exaggerated anatomy, elastic forms, and a chaotic energy that broke away from traditional comic aesthetics. Where many artists aimed for precision, Kieth embraced distortion and emotional intensity. He citedFrank Frazetta, Bernie Wrightson, and Vaughn Bode as influences, though he translated them into something entirely his own.

In recognition of his contributions, Kieth received the Inkpot Award from Comic-Con International in 2013.

Later work included Zero Girl, Four Women, Batman: Secrets, and the Batman/Maxx: Arkham Dreams crossover. Because of the onset of his illness, Arkham Dreams became his last major work.

News of his death brought an immediate wave of tributes. Longtime friend and artist Kelley Jones wrote on X: 'Sam Kieth, my old friend since 16 and comic art genius has passed away. He was instrumental in bringing me to DC and changing the course of my career.'

Sam Kieth,my old friend since 16 and comic art genius has passed away.
He was instrumental in bringing me to DC and changing the course of my career. He also introduced me to my wife ( a cute little blond he described her as)and changed the course of my life
God rest his soul.

— Kelley Jones (@kelleyjonesart) March 22, 2026

He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Kathy Kieth. Per his wishes, there will be no memorial service. His family asks that donations be made in his name to the Hero Initiative, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, or the Lewy Body Dementia Association.

Jaclyn Smith rose to superstardom on Charlie's Angels, and fifty years later, she's barely aged a day.

The legendary actress, 80, best known for her role as Kelly Garrett on the beloved TV series alongside Kate Jackson and Farrah Fawcett, is aging like fine wine. After she left the iconic series, which ran from 1976 to 1981, she continued to act, with roles on The District and Shear Genius. Never one to slow down, she parlayed her career into the design world, becoming an entrepreneur with Kmart and then with the Home Shopping Channel.

The pilot of Charlie's Angels aired on March 21st, 1971, and Smith's dear friend Patrick Foley took to Instagram to honor the day with a photo of the stunner in pink pajamas. While it has been five decades since she first took on the role of Kelly Garrett, you wouldn't know it. Smith glows in front of the camera!

"Today is the 50th anniversary of the pilot of my all-time favorite show, Charlie’s Angels 💝💝💝How lucky am I, I get to share the evening with my favorite angel Kelly Garrett @realjaclynsmith💖," Foley captioned his photo, which showed him with his arm around a stunning Smith.

Smith Still Honors Farrah Fawcett

While fifty years have passed, Smith hasn't forgotten where she came from. As the years go on, she continues to honor her dear friend and fellow angel, Farrah Fawcett. Recently, Smith headed to the red carpet to join friends Morgan Fairchild, Donna Mills, and Alana Stewart to honor their late friend, who died of cancer in 2009. The event was a benefit for the Farrah Fawcett Foundation, which raises funds for HPV-related cancer research, patient assistance funds during treatment, and prevention programs.

Looking incredible in a monochromatic cream-colored suit, Smith glowed in front of the camera, as did the rest of the ladies.

“In Texas with my friends in support of the Farrah Fawcett Foundation and the annual TexMex Fiesta! What a wonderful time for a great cause. Thank you to everyone who joined us,” she captioned her photos.

For two decades, Grey’s Anatomy has delivered some of the most unforgettable moments in television history (RIP Denny Duquette). But not all episodes of the show are created equal (especially not when there are more than 400 to choose from). Whether you're a longtime fan or a new viewer curious about the medical drama's most defining moments, these episodes are what made Grey’s a phenomenon.

The 20 best episodes of Grey's Anatomy1. “A Hard Day’s Night” (Season 1, Episode 1)

Shonda Rhimes had one shot to introduce the TV-watching world to Meredith Grey, Cristina Yang, Alex Karev, Izzie Stevens and George O’Malley, and she nailed it. The characters are compelling, the stakes are high, and Meredith’s one-night stand from the night before? It was with her new boss, Dr. Derek Shepherd — a setup for one of the most iconic romances in television history.

2. “The First Cut Is the Deepest” (Season 1, Episode 2)

The second episode of the show gives viewers a more complete picture of the interns — Meredith copes with her mother’s Alzheimer’s, and Cristina deals with the loss of a patient. The writing is quick and emotionally layered, and the chemistry between the interns is instantly palpable. 

3. “Into You Like a Train” (Season 2, Episode 6)

A catastrophic train crash sends dozens of patients to Seattle Grace, including two strangers who are impaled on the same metal pole. Only one of the victims can survive, making for the sort of ethically complex and emotionally devastating medical cases that define Grey’s Anatomy. 

4. “Something to Talk About” (Season 2, Episode 7)

The medical mystery of the episode — a man with what turns out to be his parasitic twin inside him — is a perfect example of the show’s often bizarre and always entertaining cases. 

5. “It’s the End of the World” / “As We Know It” (Season 2, Episodes 16 & 17)

This two-part episode aired after the 2006 Super Bowl to rave reviews for its intense, suspenseful storyline: a paramedic has her hand inside a patient’s chest cavity — holding a live bomb that could detonate if she moves. In a heart-stopping twist, Meredith ends up with the bomb herself, and the bomb squad leader (played by Kyle Chandler) gets blown up just after he takes the explosive from her hands. But the episode isn’t just one big adrenaline rush; it’s woven together with a satisfying emotional arc for Meredith, who’s forced to confront her depression. 

6. “Losing My Religion” (Season 2, Episode 27)

After receiving a new heart and proposing to Izzie, Denny Duquette dies — a gut-wrenching turn of events that leads to one of the show’s most memorable performances to date, courtesy of Katherine Heigl. “An hour ago he was proposing, and now he’s going to the morgue. Isn’t that ridiculous? Isn’t that the most ridiculous piece of crap you’ve ever heard?” Classic Grey’s. Classic television.

7. “Some Kind of Miracle” (Season 3, Episode 17)

The conclusion to a three-part arc that begins with Meredith nearly drowning, this spiritual episode takes place in some form of purgatory, where Meredith — who is technically dead — is interacting with other dead people, like Denny Duquette. Ultimately, she’s trying to figure out whether she wants to live — and she does. There’s a point to the episode, and it’s that we all have to choose life, even when it’s messy and painful.

8. “Didn't We Almost Have It All” (Season 3, Episode 25)

Cristina and Burke's wedding ends in heartbreak. “If I loved you — if I loved you, not the woman that I’m trying to make you be, not the woman that I hope you’ll become, but you … I wouldn’t be up there waiting for you,” he tells her. “I would be letting you go.” 

9. “Elevator Love Letter” (Season 5, Episode 19)

Derek finally proposes to Meredith — in the elevator, surrounded by CT scans from all of the surgeries they’ve performed together. “This is the first surgery we ever scrubbed in together ... This is you. This is me. This is everything we’ve done together.” It’s simple and intimate, and a good reminder of why Derek is known as McDreamy. On a sadder note, Izzie learns she has Stage IV metastatic melanoma, and it’s spread to her brain. Shonda, why?!

10. “Now or Never” (Season 5, Episode 24)

For the show’s 100th episode ("What a Difference a Day Makes"), Meredith and Derek gave their big wedding day over to Izzie, whose brain cancer had returned, so that she and Alex could get married instead. The surprise ceremony left fans wondering whether Mer and Der would ever tie the knot after all. In this episode ("Now or Never"), the Season 5 finale, viewers finally get their answer: Meredith and Derek exchange vows on a Post-It note, promising “to love each other, even when we hate each other. No running — ever. Nobody walks out. No matter what happens…” They stuck to those vows until Derek’s death. 

11. “Now or Never” (Season 5, Episode 24)

In one of the most devastating twists in TV history, a disfigured John Doe brought in after pushing a woman out of the way of a bus turns out to be George O'Malley. The moment when Meredith realizes it’s her friend — when he spells out "007," his nickname, with his finger — is etched into every fan’s mind forever.

12. “The Heart of the Matter” (Season 6, Episode 17)

Meredith and Lexie’s father, Thatcher, returns to the hospital newly sober and trying to make amends, and Meredith is closed off to the idea while Lexie is willing to forgive him. It’s an honest portrayal of how complicated family healing can be — and how sobriety isn't an instant fix.

13. “Sanctuary” / “Death and All His Friends” (Season 6, Episodes 23 & 24)

A grieving widower who blames Seattle Grace for his wife’s death comes armed to exact revenge, killing multiple people and shooting Derek. Cristina operates on McDreamy at gunpoint while a pregnant Meredith (who suffers a miscarriage mid-episode) stands by. Sound intense? It is.

14. "Flight" (Season 8, Episode 24)

A plane crash leaves Meredith, Cristina, Arizona, Derek, Mark and Lexie stranded in a forest, wounded and fighting for survival. Ultimately, Lexie succumbs to her injuries (she's pinned under part of the plane), and in one of the most heartbreaking scenes in the series, she dies while Mark holds her hand and tells her he loves her.

15. “Fear (of the Unknown)” (Season 10, Episode 24)

Cristina leaves to run a cardio research institute in Zurich — a move that’s at once crushing and exhilarating. Her final scenes with Meredith, including their silent dance goodbye, is so perfectly them.

16. “How to Save a Life” (Season 11, Episode 21)

Ah, yes, the episode that marks the death of Derek Shepherd, one of the show’s most beloved characters. Besides being a shocking hour of television, it’s objectively well crafted, using structure, pacing and emotional restraint to great effect. 

17. “The Sound of Silence” (Season 12, Episode 9)

A bottle episode directed by Denzel Washington, the hour opens with a brutal attack on Meredith by a patient having a psychotic episode. The beating happens off-screen but the aftermath — facial injuries, broken bones, loss of speech — is horrifying, and Meredith's resilience? The stuff of Grey's.

18. “Silent All These Years” (Season 15, Episode 19)

Named for a Tori Amos song about female pain and being unheard, “Silent All These Years” follows Abigail, a woman who comes to the hospital after being sexually assaulted. When she’s taken to surgery — terrified — every woman in the hospital lines the hallway in silence, an act of solidarity and protection. Meantime, the storyline reveals that Jo (Camilla Luddington) is a child of rape, adding a layer of complexity to her character. 

19. "Leave a Light On" (Season 16, Episode 16)

Well, really, this is one of the worst episodes of the show because it marks longtime character Alex Karev’s final appearance on the series — and he’s written off via letter. Letter! But it’s a powerful episode nonetheless, or at least an important one to the canon.

20. "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" (Season 17, Episode 17)

After a heavy COVID-centric season, the show ended its 17th installment on a lighter note, with Maggie and Winston’s wedding. It was a welcome bright spot, to say the least!

Peptides are trending big in the beauty industry, and along with finding them in lots of anti-aging serums and moisturizers, they’re also in lip balms—specifically in a new wave of peptide-infused lip treatments designed to nourish and subtly enhance lip volume.

Unlike traditional lip balms that simply hydrate the lips, peptide lip treatments have active ingredients that work beneath the surface to improve the condition of lips long-term. These formulas are designed to support the delicate skin of the lips and help them appear smoother with regular use.

According to Dr. Marie Jhin, board certified dermatologist at Premier Aesthetic Dermatology, peptide lip products represent the next generation of lip care. “Peptides are short-chain amino acids that act as signaling molecules in the skin,” she tells Parade. “Unlike standard lip balms that just sit on the surface, peptide lip treatments can help stimulate collagen production and support the lip area over time.”

Dermatologist Marisa Garshick of Manhattan Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery Centers explains these formulas can provide both immediate hydration and longer-term benefits for the lips.

Ahead, they share how peptide lip treatments work—and which formulas are worth adding to your routine.

What Are Peptide Lip Treatments?

A peptide lip treatment simply refers to a lip care product formulated with peptides. The peptides "act as building blocks for proteins like collagen," Dr. Garshick says. "Because lips lack oil glands, these formulas often combine peptides with hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or nourishing oils to keep lips soft and hydrated."

Do Peptide Lip Treatments Actually Work?

Peptides are widely used in skincare and have been shown to support collagen production and improve overall skin texture. Since the lips contain relatively little collagen, they may respond particularly well to peptide-based formulas.

“Peptide lip treatments can help lips appear more hydrated and less wrinkled,” says Dr. Jhin. “However, they won’t produce dramatic plumping like injectable fillers.”

Garshick agrees that while the changes are subtle, they can still make a noticeable difference over time.

“Peptide lip treatments can be helpful, especially with consistent use,” she explains. “They support collagen and improve hydration, which may make lips appear smoother and gradually fuller.”

What Are the Benefits of Peptides in Lip Care?

Peptides can offer several advantages for the delicate lip area when used regularly.

According to Dr. Garshick, one of the main benefits is improved collagen support, which may also improve firmness and minimize the appearance of fine lines around the lips.

They also work to strengthen the skin barrier and prevent skin roughness, Dr. Garshick says.

How Often Should You Use a Peptide Lip Treatment?

Consistency plays an important role in seeing results. Dr. Jhin recommends applying peptide lip treatments twice daily—morning and night—as part of a regular skincare routine.

They can also be reapplied throughout the day if additional hydration is needed, Dr. Garshick adds. “In most cases, peptide lip treatments can be used daily and even multiple times per day,” she says. “Since peptides work gradually, consistent use helps maximize their benefits.”

Can Peptide Lip Treatments Replace Lip Balm?

Many peptide lip treatments are formulated with the same ingredients as traditional lip balms, so in most cases you can replace it, both dermatologists say.

Dr. Garshick notes that these formulas are essentially a more advanced version of everyday lip care. They combine peptides with typical moisturizers like hyaluronic acid, oils, shea butter, squalane or petrolatum to help seal in hydration while also delivering active ingredients, she says.

“But if you’re spending time outdoors or dealing with harsh weather, layering a lip balm with SPF can provide extra protection,” Dr. Jhin adds.

Are Peptide Lip Treatments Good for Dry or Chapped Lips?

Peptide lip treatments can be especially helpful for lips that frequently feel dry. They can replenish moisture while supporting the skin barrier, which can reduce dryness and flaking over time, according to Dr. Garshick.

However, extremely chapped lips may require additional care. “For severely dry lips, using a thicker moisturizing ointment can help lock in hydration,” she says. Consulting a dermatologist can also help determine whether an underlying condition is contributing to the dryness.

Can Peptides Make Lips Look Fuller?

Peptides can help improve the appearance of fullness by supporting collagen and improving hydration levels. As the lip structure becomes better supported, the lips may look smoother and slightly more defined.

“Peptides can help lips appear fuller by supporting collagen and improving hydration,” Garshick explains. “However, they’re designed to enhance the natural appearance of the lips rather than replace in-office treatments like fillers.”

Dr. Jhin agrees. The mechanism is different from a filler. A peptide treatment stimulates collagen and "as the lip's collagen matrix is rebuilt, lips can appear more structured, defined and volumized from within."

While the results are subtle, regular use may help create a softer, more hydrated and naturally plumper look.

If you didn’t grow up with period underwear, you may be wondering if they’re safe for your tween or teen to use. We talked to gynecologists about everything you need to know, including what period underwear is, how to use it properly and most importantly, if it’s safe for teens.

What Is Period Underwear and Is It Safe for Teens?

“Period underwear is exactly as it sounds. They are underwear that acts as a pad and absorbs menstrual flow directly into the material of the underwear,” explains Dr. Ann Jacob, DO, an obstetrician-gynecologist at Reiter, Hill & Johnson of Advantia Health.

Dr. Jacob explains that period underwear contains the period blood within the underwear itself and can act as an alternative or backup protection to other period products, such as a tampon or menstrual cup. She adds that they’re reusable and easily cleaned by tossing in the washing machine.

Dr. Donna Baick, MD, an obstetrician-gynecologist with UCI Health, says that period underwear offers discretion, convenience, cost-effectiveness and environmental benefits—all reasons why they are becoming increasingly popular. 

In terms of whether period underwear is safe for teens, Dr. Baick says that this isn’t something that has been scientifically studied, at least not yet. Because of this, she explains that teens using period underwear should be vigilant of irritation, skin sensitivities or allergic reactions, which can all be signs of being sensitive to the materials.

Though period underwear hasn’t been scientifically studied, Dr. Jacob says that it’s generally considered safe for women of all ages, including teens. “As with any reusable menstrual or clothing product, safety does depend on practicing good hygiene and cleaning the product correctly in between wears,” she tells Parade.

What Teens Should Keep in Mind When Using Period Underwear

“Teens should know that period underwear can be used on its own or as a backup and that they come in many styles. How long it can be worn depends on the flow and the comfort of the teen,” Dr. Jacob says.

While tampons and pads typically need to be changed regularly, Dr. Jacob says that period underwear can be worn as long as regular underwear is worn. “It’s okay to try many different kinds to find one that is the right fit for you and for your flow. As flow can change over the course of your period, having options for light and heavy days is a good idea,” she shares.

Dr. Baick adds to this advice about how long period underwear can be worn, saying, “Teens can wear period underwear throughout menstruation, but should monitor their period length and flow. Maintaining good hygiene practices, such as regular bathing and washing underwear, is also important.”

Both doctors agree that period underwear can safely be worn to bed too. However, Dr. Baick says that it’s important for teens to be aware of any signs of overflow, odor or discomfort, which are all signs that it’s time to put on a new pair of period underwear or switch to a menstrual pad, cup or tampon.

Are There Risks To Wearing Period Underwear?

While both doctors say that there aren’t any risks to wearing period underwear, it’s important to know that some types of period underwear are made with PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals.” These chemicals have been linked to many health and environmental risks and are so prevalent in our society that they are hard to escape. If you are concerned about PFAS in period underwear, it’s important to shop for PFAS-free period underwear.

Dr. Baick says that one downside of period underwear is that, since it absorbs the period blood, teens can’t easily know if bleeding is ever excessive or abnormal. “Normal menstrual product use involves changing pads or tampons every three to six hours; this may be hard to gauge with period underwear,” she explains.

Besides helping manage periods, Dr. Jacob says that period underwear can be helpful for tweens and teens who haven’t gotten their period yet. “When a teen gets their first period is so hard to predict. It can be beneficial and make teens more comfortable to get used to period underwear and understand how to care for them before they need to use them. It may also help curb anxiety around leaking through clothing for an unexpected first period,” she says.

In general, period underwear is considered safe for teens and it’s as easy to use as putting on a pair of regular underwear. The sound of opening a bulky pad in the bathroom just might be gone for good.
