This summer, entertaining is its coastal-core era, and it is showing up everywhere from TikTok tablescapes to backyard barbecues. The look is less about perfectly coordinated place settings and more about creating a table that feels collected, relaxed, and a little sun-washed. Citrus piled in ceramic bowls, mismatched glassware, and playful nautical details are all part of the mix, turning everyday meals into a quick escape to the Mediterranean. 

If you’re looking to bring that beachy aesthetic into your home this season, the Beautiful by Drew Barrymore 12-Piece Bamboo Melamine Sardine Dinnerware Set at Walmart is an easy way to tap into the trend. At just $23 (originally $27), it’s a simple, affordable addition that gives everyday meals a seaside feel, whether you are serving pasta on a weeknight, setting out small bites for friends, or hosting dinner al fresco on the patio.

Across the full set that shoppers say is “adorable” and “perfect for the summertime,” the 12 pieces include four dinner plates, four salad plates, and four cereal bowls, serving four people. The design is built around a navy blue and lush green palette that runs consistently across each piece, creating a unified look that feels intentional without being overly rigid. Scalloped edges across the collection introduce soft curves that break up the structure of the silhouettes. 

The salad plates have the most details, with green woven-style painted borders that frame a central motif of three sardines rendered in vivid blue. Each fish is depicted with fine detailing in the scales, fins, and facial features, giving the artwork a textured, almost hand-rendered quality. 

 The cereal bowls continue the same visuals, with a matching scalloped edge and navy exterior, while the interior includes the inner squiggle detail and the phrase “Le Tre Sardine” written in cursive. The phrase translates to “the three sardines” in Italian and references a recurring motif tied to the designer’s personal symbolism, which has been carried into her broader home and tabletop collections. 

Lightweight and easy to carry, it transitions easily from kitchen to patio, making it just as practical for indoor meals as it is for outdoor entertaining. The BPA-free bamboo melamine construction is designed to withstand everyday use while resisting cracking or shattering if accidentally dropped. Dishwasher-safe materials also help simplify cleanup after gatherings, offering an easy, low-maintenance option for frequent hosting.

Classic Novel 'Treasure Island' Is Being Adapted With This Marvel Star, 57, Attached

Mon, 06/08/2026 - 11:42pm

Some historical tales just can't be put to rest in Hollywood.

That includes Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, whose iconic novel was published way back in 1883 and has become one of the most-often dramatized and adapted books ever.

And the list goes, Deadline reports, with Ridley Scott on board to direct an all-new movie adaptation and Hugh Jackman attached to play the one and only pirate known as Long John Silver. Added to the star power, Adolescence writer Jack Thorne penned the script and will executive produce.

The red-hot package is hitting the market this week and expects to have every major studio in the mix for it, Deadline also noted on Monday, June 8. It's reportedly a new take on Stevenson's renowned novel, whose story follows a young boy as he uncovers the map to a buried treasure and embarks on a perilous sea voyage to claim a hidden fortune — only to find himself coming face-to-face with and battling the infamous Long John Silver.

Since its publication in 1883, Treasure Island has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide and been translated into over 50 languages, making it one of the most influential adventure novels of all time, per Deadline.

Among the adaptations over the years was the family-friendly Muppet Treasure Island (1996), for all the millennials out there who might have grown up watching it on VHS. Among the laugh-out-loud musical's highlights was the great Tim Curry as Long John Silver.

Meanwhile, Jackman, 57, made headlines recently when it was announced he'd be reuniting with Deadpool & Wolverine co-star Ryan Reynoldsfor a brand-new Disney project. Reynolds, 49, will lead reportedly a docuseries about the SailGP team he co-owns with Jackman.

The show will see Australia’s fastest sailors travel the world to face elite rivals while onboarding their world-famous owners, led on the water by decorated sailor Tom Slingsby, per Deadline.

Amy Schumer Shares Jarring Facts About Her Health Struggles

Mon, 06/08/2026 - 11:05pm

In a recent post on her Instagram Stories, Amy Schumer detailed some jarring facts about endometriosis, a condition she lived with, which caused “pain that nobody can see.”

“Endometriosis affects 10% of women,” Schumer posted on her story. “Endometriosis can grow onto almost ANY organ in your body. Endometriosis can create its own nerve supply… meaning it quite literally crest pathways for pain. The average diagnosis delay is 7-10 years…these facts are devastating, but this goes to show how much this community deserves time, money and research.”

At the 13th Annual Endometriosis Foundation of America’s Blossom Ball, Schumer detailed her struggle with the disease and said she had 33 impacts from it. She said that "most days of the month [she] was on the floor in pain, vomiting from the pain."

“My appendix was being choked by endometriosis,” Schumer said at the ball. “I had chocolate cysts, my ovaries, and … it was a miracle that I was able to carry a child.”

Now, Schumer is using her platform to raise money for The Endometriosis Collective. She’s part of the collective’s new documentary, End of the Cycle, and is encouraging her fans to watch the film and donate.

View this post on Instagram

“Endometriosis is painful, isolating, and still so misunderstood — and affects more than 265 million worldwide,” Schumer said in a Reel. “It’s infuriating that conditions like male pattern baldness and erectile dysfunction receive more research funding than endo.”

Schumer’s friends and fans flocked to her comment section, expressing thanks to her for giving a voice to the women who struggle with this disease.

“Come on this is incredible thanks for doing this,” one user commented.

“Yesssssssss sisters,” another said. “Rise with your truth!!!!!!!! More education on this please! 👏🔥🙌”

Schumer’s documentary with The Endometriosis Collective is available to watch now.

47 Years Ago, Kenny Rogers Scored One of His Biggest Hits Ever

Mon, 06/08/2026 - 11:00pm

On June 9, 1979, Kenny Rogers was sitting at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart with "She Believes in Me," a song that would become one of the biggest hits of his remarkable career.

Written by Steve Gibb, "She Believes in Me" tells the story of a struggling musician who is deeply grateful for the unwavering support of the woman who stands by him despite his doubts and setbacks.

The heartfelt ballad struck a chord with audiences across the country, showcasing Rogers' warm, conversational vocal style and his unique ability to bring emotional depth to a song.

By the time it reached the top of the country charts in June 1979, Rogers was already one of the genre's biggest stars.

But "She Believes in Me" helped expand his appeal even further. The song became a major crossover success, climbing to No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and introducing Rogers to an even wider audience beyond country music fans.

The hit was featured on Rogers' blockbuster album The Gambler, which produced several memorable singles and helped cement his status as one of the most successful recording artists of the era. Along with classics such as "The Gambler," "Lucille," and "Coward of the County," "She Believes in Me" remains one of the songs most closely associated with his legacy.

More than four decades later, the ballad continues to resonate with listeners thanks to its timeless message about love, loyalty and believing in someone even when they struggle to believe in themselves.

Rogers died on March 20, 2020, at the age of 81. Still, his music continues to find new audiences, and songs like "She Believes in Me" remain cherished examples of the storytelling and emotional honesty that made him a country music icon.

1988 Moisturizer, Ranked Among Best Beauty Products of All Time, Remains a Top-Rated Classic 38 Years Later

Mon, 06/08/2026 - 10:48pm

Clinique Moisture Surge 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator, a skincare hero originally launched in 1988, remains a top-rated product 38 years later. The beloved item was ranked among the greatest beauty products of all time on a list of 100 of the best releases ever by Beauty Inc.’s Women’s Wear Daily.

Published in February 2026, the lineup comprises several heavy-hitters across skincare, makeup, hair styling tools, and more, with the most iconic picks “chosen by the people who know best — beauty industry insiders,” the outlet announced. “These products are all ‘original, and either reimagine or simply imagine something that doesn’t exist,’ said Linda Wells, editor of Air Mail Look and founding editor of Allure, who acknowledged the saturation of today’s market and likened the current rate of new product development to running a marathon at the pace of a sprint.”

Including Clinique's Moisture Surge 100H Auto-Replenishing Hydrator—which retails for about $17 (.5-ounces) to $89 (4.2-ounces) depending on size—is an understandable choice: the popular product is rated 4.7/5 stars with over 37K reviews, and it has undoubtedly made its mark on skincare routines over time. Officially, it’s described as “a lightweight gel moisturizer. Formulated with aloe bioferment and hyaluronic acid, it floods skin with instant and long-lasting hydration.”

The brand also states that it's clinically proven, dermatologist tested, allergy tested, and 100% fragrance free.

"Clinique’s aloe bioferment, an early arriver to the skin microbiome craze, is concentrated over 500 times and works in tandem with two different weights of hyaluronic acid," WWD noted, adding that the “results-oriented” buy has become an industry must-have: "One jar of moisturizer sells every seven seconds."

View this post on Instagram

Made for all skin types and meant to specifically boost hydration and "keep it in," it has become known for boosting skin's glow and providing a healthy-looking, plumping effect. Users claim it helps skin feel soft and radiant, is not greasy, and remains a "10/10 product."

One supposed longtime fan is a self-proclaimed loyalist of the staple: "About 5 years using it, wont change ever!"

As with most products, however, there are mixed reviews. Some claim it doesn’t live up to the hype, with one reporting that it's a "fine hydrator but not special. The good: The gel texture glides on smoothly and is absorbed into my skin quickly. The not-so-good: The hydration is just okay when worn alone; it isn't as superb as advertised."

Providing more insight into what went into choosing which favorites made the final cut on the roundup, WWD added, “True hero products all share similar attributes. ‘Fundamentally, the product has to be extraordinary, and you need to know how to get the consumer to fall in love,’ said Jane Hertzmark Hudis, executive vice president and chief brand officer at the Estée Lauder Cos. Pointing to formula performance, sensoriality, packaging and marketing, she continued, ‘All of that has to work together in a cogent way to make you love it — not just for the week, but for life. And that’s the difference.'”

Amazon’s 'Very Comfortable' Linen-Like Shorts Set Is 60% Off and Comes in 21 Colors

Packing for summer trips is so much easier when you have pieces you can wear more than once without them looking like the same outfit — and it’s even better when they’re 60% off. Right now, Amazon’s Automet 2-Piece Shorts Set is marked down in the apricot color as a Lightning Deal for just $20, down from $50. It comes in 21 colors, including black, beige, hot pink, navy blue, sky blue, and more, with sizes ranging from extra small to extra large.

The set includes a long-sleeve button-down shirt and matching shorts made from breezy 100% cotton. The top features a flowy, oversized fit, chest pockets, a button front, and long sleeves that can be worn buttoned, open, or rolled. The shorts have an elastic drawstring waist and side pockets, which are convenient for beach days, hotel breakfasts, or poolside lounging.

Since the set comes with two pieces, the top and shorts can be split up and paired with other outfits. The button-down can double as a swimsuit cover-up or a light layer over a tank top, while the shorts can be worn on their own with a crop top, T-shirt, or bodysuit, making it much easier to save space in your suitcase.

One reviewer described the set as “very comfortable,” noting that it “feels like it is made out of a thick, layered linen fabric,” while another said it’s “flowy and great for a beach day.” A third described the fabric as “incredibly soft, gauzy, and breathable,” adding that the set is a “must-have.” And for anyone who wants something that feels more like loungewear, another person wrote, “I feel like I'm wearing pajamas,” and called it the “perfect summer outfit.”

The long-sleeve top is great for when you’re moving between the sun and an air-conditioned restaurant or sitting outside after dark. The drawstring waist lets you adjust the shorts depending on how relaxed you want the fit to feel, and the linen-like texture makes the set look more stylish than a basic set, even though it still feels comfy enough for lounging.

The Automet 2-Piece Shorts Set is a must-see deal if you’ve been looking for an easy summer outfit that ticks the boxes for comfort and style at a great price. But lightning deals can change quickly, so be sure to snag the set on Amazon before your size and favorite color sell out.

Netflix’s New True-Crime Film About a Mother Killed in Front of Her Toddler Has Viewers Deeply Disturbed

Mon, 06/08/2026 - 10:37pm

There’s no good way to sugarcoat the 1992 murder of Rachel Nickell.

Just 23 years old and strolling through Southwest London’s Wimbledon Commons park in the middle of summer with her 2-year-old son, Alex, Rachel was attacked, sexually assaulted, and stabbed 49 times in broad daylight, while Alex watched on. Rachel’s half-naked body was later found by a dog walker, with her baby boy — caked in mud and blood — clinging to her body. 

View this post on Instagram

The murder and subsequent investigation into Nickell’s death is explored in Netflix’s latest true-crime documentary film, The Murder of Rachel Nickell. The film begins with Nickell’s partner and the father of her son, André Hanscombe, talking with the young Alex, about the day of the murder. Eerie and heartbreaking, the grainy footage then shifts to present day, with Hanscombe sharing the moment he learned his significant other was gone forever. 

What follows is a swift 96 minutes of deftly handled investigation into the investigation. Directed by Lucy Bowden, the film uses archival footage and interviews to reconstruct both the crime and the aftermath, while also exploring the broader systemic failures that include a failed honey-trap operation within the police investigation. The result is a lightning rod that has viewers both deeply disturbed and outraged. 

“The whole story is just heartbreaking,” one Reddit user shared. “The fact that it was preventable and the lack of police attention is infuriating. But life happens, and this documentary is proof of the ripple effect and how one bad action after another can create a series of horror affecting so many lives.” 

“Netflix’s latest release, The Murder of Rachel Nickell, does something most of the genre rarely manages. It shines a harsh light on the people who were supposed to deliver justice,” BingeBox wrote on Facebook. “A lot of true-crime documentaries promise to reveal a hidden monster. This one suggests the scariest part wasn’t the murderer, it was watching an entire system convince itself it had the right person, while the real killer was still out there.” 

The Murder of Rachel Nickell left me heartbroken and outraged,” @MyLondonNews posted on Instagram, while a commenter on @ThisMorning’s post, shared, “I remember this at the time — absolutely heartbreaking … how these men have found some sort of peace and [are] able to move forward is commendable. I’ve watched both Netflix programmes and it’s a hard watch. It’s just heartbreaking how this could have been avoided.” 

In addition to Bowden’s documentary, Netflix released The Witness, a three-part narrative companion piece starring Jordan Bolger as André and Max Fincham as Alex. Both titles are being praised for their handling of the murder and the stories of all those involved. And currently, both are holding the No. 2 spots on their respective streaming charts.

In 2017, Alex spoke with The Sun about his mother’s murder, saying, “The moment I watched my mother’s soul leave her body is one I will never forget. It all remained engraved in my mind. It was a frenzied attack but like a silent movie. … Even today, almost 25 years later, I can still see the film running inside my mind.”

Toward the end of the documentary, Alex is again given the opportunity to share his story in his own words. Still haunted as an adult, he reflects on the lasting impact of the attack and the conflicting feelings toward his father, offering a poignant perspective on a tragedy that continues to shape his life and has permanently scarred the collective British public.

The Murder of Rachel Nickell is streaming on Netflix.

"I waited 30 years to bring Nailbomb to the UK, and to team them up with Soulfly, it's gonna be Hurricane Soulfly – Nailbomb. This is the ultimate Tribal Technology Tour,” the lead vocalist shared.

Besides the band, fans are also thrilled to see the amazing lineup.

“OMG!!! I’m literally bouncing about the place in excitement,” one wrote.

“This is going to be an incredible gig!” a fan echoed.

“This is pure fire!” a commenter said.

“No pressure but this should really happen in other countries (Sweden) too,” a follower mentioned, suggesting tour expansion for Soulfly and Nailbomb concerts.

One fan also expressed concern for the frontman who will be playing for the two bands, noting, “Back-to-back duty for Max. Man, that must be exhausting.”

The U.K. run will be part of Soulfly’s Tribal Technology Tour, the band’s major European summer music tour.

The event will support their thirteenth studio album, Chama, released in 2025.

'Top Chef' Season 23 Winner: A Historic Win Not Seen in 8 Seasons

Mon, 06/08/2026 - 10:00pm

Top Chef: Carolinas, season 23, came to a dramatic close on Monday, June 8, when the final three—Sherry Cardoso, Laurence Louie and Rhoda Magbitang—faced off, preparing the best four-course meal of their lives.

The show welcomed acclaimed chefs Val Cantu, Eric Ferguson, Brandon Jew, Camari Mick and Nok Suntaranon, plus Top Chefalums Sara Bradley, Joe Flamm and Stephanie Izard as guest judges to determine which finalist would earn the title of Top Chef and the $250,000 prize.

Read on to find out how the finale went down, but be warned of spoilers. Don't keep reading if you don't want to be spoiled.

Who Won 'Top Chef: Carolinas,' Season 23?

The winner of the 23rd season of Top Chef is…..

Rhoda Magbitang

Bravo

Rhoda Magbitang – Kailua-Kona, HI

She is the first winner to battle back from Last CHance Kitchen and win the whole show since Joe in season 15. Host Kristen Kish was the first, in season 10, and Brooke Williamson was the second, in season 14. Rhoda is also the first female winner since season 17's Melissa King and just the sfranchise's seventh female winner since its inception 20 years ago.

What Was the Challenge on the 'Top Chef' Season 23 Finale?

The finale challenge was the same as it always is—create the best progressive meal of your life. This season had the chefs creating a four-course meal.

Each contestant was given a finalist as a mentor to bounce ideas off of. Sherry drew Sara and chose Anthony as her sous chef, while Rhoda drew Joe and chose Sieger as her sous chef, and Laurence drew Stephanie and got Jonathan as his sous chef.

Rhoda's winning meal was a toast to the people who influenced her culinary journey. The menu was as follows:

  • First course: Roasted sweet potato with miso butter, fresh uni and charred sweet potato leaves.
  • Second course: Abalone lugaw (a Filipino rice porridge) with abalone liver mousse.
  • Third course: Grilled eggplant omelet with XO sauce and vingegar, crispy pork belly and chili fish sauce.
  • Fourth course: Braised short rib with liver sauce and vegetables.

It was interesting that Rhoda chose not to do a dessert course and the other two chefs did. Neither Laurence nor Sherry really nailed their desserts, though. But overall, considering how the season has gone so far, I was expecting Laurence to win. Rhoda's win was a little bit of a surprise, though not as big of a surprise after you heard the judges' comments throughout the dinner and at judges' table.

Is 'Top Chef' Renewed For Season 24?

Yes, Top Chef has been renewed for season 24. According to The Hollywood Reporter, "This latest season has been a strong one for the series. Top Chef, which airs on both the Bravo linear network as well as NBCUniversal-owned streamer Peacock, is enjoying its best gross audience since the 2021 cycle."

Top Chef will return for its 24th season in 2027.

Spencer Pratt Responds After Social Media Users Offer to Help Him Move

Mon, 06/08/2026 - 9:42pm

Spencer Pratt has been called out of the race to become the next mayor of Los Angeles.

Critics of the former reality star are sharing their excitement over the news via social media, with many questioning whether Pratt will keep his promise to move out of the city following his failed campaign.

"So, Spencer Pratt, did you like, like some moving boxes? I could give you some," one woman posted on TikTok ahead of the final decision.

Pratt was spotted in the comments, saying, "No, Karen Bass let my house burn down. Everything I owned burned in my house."

The former star of The Hills joined the mayoral race in January, one year after losing his Pacific Palisades home in the devastating 2025 fires.

Though his campaign gained traction among Hollywood stars and Donald Trump, Pratt failed to receive enough votes to force incumbent Mayor Karen Bass into a runoff. Instead, City Councilwoman Nithya Raman will face Bass in the November election.

NBC News called the race on Monday evening, one week after polls closed. The count has been slow, with hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots postmarked before the deadline arriving in the days that followed.

With 92.5 percent of the expected votes counted, Bass remains in the lead with 34.3 percent, with Raman trailing with 28.5 percent. Pratt landed in third with 25.8 percent, approximately 22,000 votes behind Raman.

I Recreated 5 Viral Y2K Makeup Looks—Here’s What Still Works in 2026

Mon, 06/08/2026 - 9:35pm

At this point, Y2K makeup isn’t just "back," it’s fully reclaimed its spot at the center of beauty culture—only this time around, it feels way more refined. The frosted lids, glossy lips, skinny brows and overly bronzed chaos of the early 2000s have officially returned, but with a much softer landing than they had the first time.

Instead of looking like we raided a middle school photo album, 2026’s version of Y2K beauty feels cleaner, blurrier and surprisingly wearable. It still has all the fun of the original era, just with better formulas, better blending and a little more self-awareness.

And honestly? That’s exactly why I became mildly obsessed with revisiting some of the internet’s most viral Y2K makeup looks. There’s something weirdly satisfying about seeing which trends actually hold up when you remove the ultra-flash photography and aggressively over-plucked brows from the equation.

Some looks felt instantly cool again with just a few modern tweaks, while others reminded me very quickly why certain beauty trends deserved to stay in 2004. Either way, the nostalgia factor alone made this experiment worth it.

I recreated five viral Y2K makeup looks—but with a 2026 edge—to see which ones still feel fresh, flattering and genuinely wearable today. Read on for the trends that surprisingly still work and the ones I’d probably leave in the past.

What Is Y2K Makeup, Exactly?

Y2K makeup was never subtle—and honestly, that was part of the appeal. The entire aesthetic revolved around "shine, contrast and a slightly futuristic attitude," as celebrity makeup artistChristian Briceno (who has styled the likes of Alicia Silverstone and Laura Donnelly) puts it, pulling inspiration from an era that felt "digital and a little experimental."

Instead of the softer, more minimal makeup that defined the late '90s, Y2K beauty leaned fully into glossy lips, frosted eyes, visible shimmer and ultra-intentional details like razor-thin brows and sharp liner. Briceno describes it as makeup that wanted to catch the light from every possible angle, with metallic finishes and reflective skin that "never tries to look invisible."

The result was playful, dramatic and unapologetically noticeable—which is exactly why these looks still feel so fun to revisit now.

What Are Some Iconic 2000s Makeup Looks?

The early 2000s really gave us some of the most instantly recognizable makeup looks of all time. Frosted pink lips, icy blue shadow, ultra-glossy skin and skinny brows basically ruled the era, alongside dramatic black liner and those hyper-defined, concealer-heavy lips that every celebrity seemed to wear on the red carpet.

There was also a major obsession with shimmer everywhere: on the eyes, across the body and especially layered over lip gloss for that super reflective finish. Pop stars (hello, Christina Aguilera) and it-girls of the time (cough cough, Paris Hilton) leaned heavily into bronzed skin paired with cool-toned metallics, creating that signature Y2K contrast that somehow felt both glamorous and a little futuristic. That's why they remain so iconic and recognizable.

I Recreated 5 Viral Y2K Makeup Looks and Ranked Them Worst to Best 5. Bronzed skin and glossy, lined lips

I started with the most iconic Y2K combo of them all: bronzed skin and a heavily lined glossy lip. Very Christina Aguilera-era energy.

I built the skin first with warm bronzer to sculpt and lift, keeping everything "clean, not heavy," as Briceno emphasizes for a more modern read.

Then, I went in with a brown lip liner to lightly overline before softening the edges with my finger. The gloss was key here—I kept it "intentional, not all over," just as Briceno would suggest, focusing shine in the center rather than flooding the whole lip.

What surprised me most was how quickly this can tilt dated if the edges are too harsh, but once softened, it really does capture that “high-glam, reflective” Y2K energy in a way that still feels wearable for 2026.

4. Soft metallic eyes with a sculpted neutral lip

This was the most refined version of Y2K, and very much aligned with Briceno’s take that the era was about "light bouncing off the skin" and controlled shimmer. I used a taupe metallic shadow and blended it softly across the lid, making sure it stayed in that "metallic, but never trying to look invisible" space Briceno warns about.

Skin was kept fresh and lightly sculpted, while the lips stayed neutral with soft definition and a balm-like gloss. What made this feel so modern is restraint—nothing is overly built up. Everything is slightly diffused, which really echoes the idea that Y2K makeup is about "finish and reflection" rather than precision. This ended up being the most quietly wearable of the five.

3. Frosted lids with pink lip gloss

This one felt like stepping straight into Paris Hilton's beauty cabinet—frosted lids, glossy lips, visible contour and all. I used a softened pearl shadow instead of full icy frost, which helped avoid the "flat, overly reflective" finish Briceno warns can go too far. The cheeks were contoured but heavily blended to keep the face from feeling harsh, since he often notes Y2K is about "contrast, not heaviness."

The pink gloss was layered very strategically, keeping pigment concentrated so it still had dimension without overwhelming the face. Once everything was diffused, it surprisingly shifted from costume territory into something closer to "playful, reflective skin," which is perfectly on-theme for the era.

2. Smokey eye and matte skin

This look took me straight back to peak Y2K beauty—the era when a smokey eye and matte skin were practically the ultimate going-out combination. While a lot of people associate the 2000s with gloss and shimmer, Briceno points out that the decade was "really about contrast," and this look delivers exactly that.

I built up a soft charcoal smokey eye, concentrating the depth along the lash line and outer corners, then paired it with a velvety, softly matte complexion that let the eyes take center stage.

What surprised me most is how modern it felt when I kept the blending diffused and avoided anything too heavy or overly dramatic. The strong eye still captures that "slightly futuristic attitude" Briceno associates with Y2K makeup, but the cleaner skin and softer edges make it feel far more wearable today. It's proof that some of the era's most iconic looks don't need much updating to still feel incredibly cool.

1. Graphic liner and a bold lip

This was the most editorial of the five—inspired by Gwen Stefani's edge—and probably the easiest to get wrong. I mapped out a sharp liner first, keeping it precise but not overly thick so it didn’t feel like pure racoon-throwback. I kept the skin soft-matte and slightly blurred, which helped echo Briceno’s idea that even Y2K structure should still feel like "light on skin."

The bold lip was soft in texture so it didn’t compete with the liner, which is where the modern update really came in. What stood out most is how this look depends entirely on intention—and when dialed in, it still has that iconic graphic punch, just with a 2026 sense of control.

Final Takeaways: How To Wear Y2K Makeup in 2026

The biggest thing I took away from recreating all five looks is that Y2K makeup in 2026 really comes down to editing, not stacking everything at once.

The idea of taking one nostalgic style and fine-tuning it changes how wearable these trends feel today. Instead of leaning into every glossy lip, frosted lid and sharp liner moment all at the same time, I found that choosing just one Y2K element and building a modern, balanced face around it made the biggest difference.

Briceno really nails it when he says "the key is restraint," whether that means pairing a glossy lip with "soft, focused and controlled" skin or keeping frosted eyes grounded with minimal blush and clean complexion.

Even liner feels more current when everything around it is simplified, and I kept coming back to his point that the finish should feel "lighter, more skin-like and less sticky," which is really what transforms Y2K from nostalgic costume into something actually wearable today.

’70s Rock Legend Behind Controversial 1979 Hit Makes Surprise Change Ahead of 2026 Tour

Mon, 06/08/2026 - 9:32pm

In 2022, Elvis Costello retired what is arguably his biggest and certainly most controversial song, “Oliver’s Army,” from live performances. 

🎬 SIGN UP for Parade’s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬

Released in 1979 on Elvis Costello & The Attractions’ third studio album, Armed Forces, the track was inspired by Costello’s trip to Belfast during The Troubles. An upbeat, new-wave hit, it contrasts its poppy vibe with dark anti-war lyrics about mercenaries and British imperialism. But the most contentious part of the song comes with the lyric that contains a racial slur: “Only takes one itchy trigger / One more widow, one less white [N-word].” 

View this post on Instagram

According to Louder, the lyric is a “reference to a slur used against IrishCatholics and to racist attitudes which underpinned British military campaigns across the world in centuries past, and which permeates sections of the British Army to this day.” 

Playing the song in its original form caused enough backlash that the ’70s rocker nixed it altogether from his shows. He even admitted to The Los Angeles Times four years ago, “If I wrote that song today, maybe I’d think twice about it.” 

This year, however, the song is back in the lineup for Costello’s upcoming tour, albeit with a slight yet important tweak. In a recent interview with The Times, Costello explained that he has rewritten the lyric, which is now, “One more widow, another pallbearer.” 

When asked about his reason for the switch, he said, “I no longer use words that go off like alarm clocks, because indignation about that word stops people hearing what the song is about. That is my position. People went, “That’s woke.’ Well, go f— yourself.”

“Oliver’s Army” was a massive commercial hit, peaking at No. 2 on the U.K. singles chart and boosting its parent album to No. 10 on the Billboard 200. Armed Forces remains the artist’s best-performing album of all time.

The revised version of "Oliver's Army" will appear on hisRadio Soul! The Early Songs 2026Tour, kicking off June 10 in Hamburg, Germany. North American dates begin Sept. 10 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Beastie Boys Co-Founder Announces Major Career First After Decades in Music

Mon, 06/08/2026 - 9:26pm

Fans of hip-hop legend Michael "Mike D" Diamond, one of the founding members of the legendary '80s music group the Beastie Boys, are hyped up after he finally announced that his first-ever solo album is on its way.

The record, titled Thank You, is set to be released on August 28. It will be the first musical release from a member of the Beastie Boys in about 15 years, since the group's final studio album, Hot Sauce Committee Part Two, in 2011. The group became inactive after fellow member Adam "MCA" Yauch died from cancer in 2012.

While Mike D did some producing in the years after the band's last album, this is the first time he's ever released his own music. He came out with the first single, "Switch Up," in late May. The new music comes from Mike D's collaboration with his sons, Davis and Skyler, who also play in his backing band.

Mike D commented on his new music in a statement alongside the announcement, saying, via Louder, “It’s been so much fun making this music with people I love and I have grown to really appreciate in our collaboration. And I just hope it’s fun for others and not overly serious."

"Because let’s be real, I’m releasing this music into a very strange and dark and power-fixated world that really devalues art and feelings and compassion and empathy and equality," he went on.

After "Switch Up," Mike D also shared the new song "What We Got," while the latest single, "True Colors," dropped on June 8.

The new album will have 13 tracks total, with some other titles including "Secrets Pt. I," "Secrets Pt. II," "Make It Stop," "Back To Start," and "Thank You."

Mike D also teased his new album during a recent conversation with NME. He declared, "The way I describe the record is that musically it’s still pretty immature, and lyrically it’s a little bit more mature. I just feel like there’s more of the things I had to tap into. I had to learn how to feel all over again.”
