Sabrina Carpenter Got Rid of Her Curtain Bangs
Hey, Sabrina Carpenter, have you ever tried... this one? And by "this one," I mean a side-parted, pressed, and blown-out hairstyle without her usual curtain bangs? Well, yes, she has!!
In a hair transformation that has blown up our beauty editor group chat, "Manchild" hater Sabrina Carpenter attended Jonathan Anderson's debut Dior Homme Menswear show in Paris and was almost unrecognizable without her usual fringe and bouncy curls. Instead, she opted for a more pared-back, classic look: a side part, secured with a tortoise barette, and flipped in ends.
This departure kinda tracks, though. The popstar just announced her new album, Man's Best Friend, out August 29, with an alternate cover that references an image of 1960 image of Marilyn Monroe. And idk about you, but this side part and the accompanying cinched waist on her tailored blazer feel very MarMo coded, no?
This look is so luxuriously soft. Sabrina's actually Redken's Global Ambassador and is a fan of their Acidic Bonding collection to keep her hair strong and healthy amidst coloring and constant heat styling. Makes sense: Her hair looks smooth as butter rn.
We're so used to always seeing Sabrina's hair look the same—so much so that fans were utterly convinced she was wearing a wig the entirety of the Short 'n Sweet Tour because it always looked so fluffy and bouncy. But maybe this marks the beginning of a new hair era for Sab.

Paul Simon Cancels Shows Due to ‘Chronic and Intense Back Pain' That Required a ‘Minor Surgical Procedure': ‘Today it Became Unmanageable'
Bad news for Paul Simon fans. In a post shared to Simon's Instagram account on Saturday, it was announced that Simon canceled his Saturday and Sunday performances at the Philadelphia Academy of Music due to an ongoing issue with his back. More from Variety Paul Simon, Who Retired From Concerts Seven Years Ago, Will Return With Intimate 'Quiet Celebration Tour' in 2025 Sabrina Carpenter and Paul Simon Open 'SNL50' With Emotional Performance of 'Homeward Bound' My First Time in Variety: Simon and Garfunkel's Late Manager Mort Lewis On His Brush With Civil Rights History 'Regretfully, Paul Simon must cancel two shows tonight June 28 and tomorrow night June 19 – at Philadelphia's Academy of Music,' read the post. 'Paul has been struggling with chronic and intense back pain. Today it became unmanageable and demands immediate attention.' The post continued, 'Unfortunately we have to cancel these shows at this time, as we don't have the ability to reschedule them. However, we are hopeful after this minor surgical procedure which has been scheduled in the next few days, Paul will be able to complete the tour as well as look into returning to make up these dates.' The post went on to say that full refunds will be provided to those who purchased tickets in advance for the show.

Jonathan Anderson's Dior Redesigns Regency Romance for the iPhone Generation
If Anthony Bridgerton time-traveled to 2025, what would he wear? What if Mr. Darcy lived in a Lower East Side loft instead of his Pemberley estate? How would Little Women's Laurie dress if he were a creative director nepo baby? The latest Dior Homme collection indicates that J.W. Anderson might have the answer. The Irish designer's highly anticipated first runway show as creative director for Christian Dior is finally here, debuting on June 27 at the Hôtel des Invalides during Paris Fashion Week for the Men's Spring/Summer 2026 season. And though we won't get to see his vision for womenswear until this fall, there are plenty of hints as to what's in store from the French fashion house's new era. According to a press release from the brand, the collection references 'history and affluence' as Dior design codes get updated for a new generation: 'Amid all the youthful spontaneity, style is paramount, allowing empathy to redefine elegance." The Dior Homme collection's first look says it all: Baggy cargo shorts with balloon-like proportions—capped off by tube socks and fisherman sandals—lent a summer in Bushwick aesthetic, while a 19th-century white necktie and high collar worthy of a Jane Austen drawing room brought a bit of bodice-ripping charm to the ensemble. It's Regency Era romance for the iPhone generation—and a fancifully modern introduction to the world of Dior, according to Jonathan Anderson. The Zoomer boyfriend meets Brontë sisters vibe didn't stop there. Fancy dress party vests (in pink, white, and even lavender) paired with army fatigues, cable knits, and boxing sneakers (laces untied, of course). A strong case for more brocade and tweed in fashion emerged. And it was easy to imagine a modern-day Heathcliff wandering the moors wearing Look 19's cropped jacket, ab-hinting tuxedo shirt, and tasseled loafers (looking at you, Jacob Elordi!). Also, the men wore capes—so many capes!—in every luxurious fabric and pattern imaginable. Anderson also lent a bit of prep flair to his new Dior with Ivy League touches. Jaunty suspenders, office blue oxfords, and even the dreaded Nantucket Red chinos made appearances on the runway. And perhaps most memorably, a pair of colorful sweaters draped over two models' shoulders, prompting the question: Who knew cable knit could be so sexy? It was an inspired debut from the genius behind Loewe's tomato and puzzle bag, and a promise of what's to come in the months ahead—soft boy summer, anyone? Whether the Regency Era references will continue at Anderson's womenswear debut in September remains to be seen. Although I think we can all agree that an empire waist dress by Anderson in the style of Elizabeth Bennet would fly off the shelves. Romance isn't dead, at least in the world of fashion.
