Probably the most iconic revenge look of all time has to be Princess Diana's black Christina Stambolian gown, which she wore to the Serpentine Gallery in June 1994 after the news broke that King Charles was cheating on her.
Mere days after the enws broke that Dakota Johnson and Chris Marin broke up, she wowed everyone in a fully sheer, black dress that has the internet talking!

Shortly after hinting at her newfound single status in a recent interview, Natalie Portman rocked this sexy figure-flattering black mini-dress in an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The dress, which had a built-in sheer triangle bra, was paired with black heels and statement red lips.
Not only did this leather cutout dress from Azzedine Alaïa show Tina Turner's bold era was upon them, but it was the perfect dress to wear after her divorce from her abusive husband Ike Turner.
One of Mariah Carey's most memorable looks was this black two-piece she rocked at the 1997 MTV VMAs. Not only did this represent her split from her ex-husband Tommy Mottola, but it showed she was entering a new era with her music and image.

Only hours after the news broke that Vanessa Hudgens and Austin Butler broke up after nine years together, she arrived in a truly showstopping look for the premiere of Bad Boys For Life. She channeled old Hollywood glamour in this high-slit, furry Georges Hobeika look that no one could take their eyes off of!

Model Emily Ratajkowski is no stranger to showing her skin. So, when it came to her first outing since her split with ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard, she knew exactly what to do. The model looked incredible at the W Magazine 50th Anniversary in this black metallic mesh dress with a rose gold bikini underneath.
Following her split with Harry Styles, all eyes were on Olivia Wilde during her first post-split red carpet at the 2022 People's Choice Awards. For the event, the Don't Worry Darling director looked fierce as she freed the nipple in this see-through black lace Christian Dior.

Watch This Documentary About ‘Star Trek: Phase II' and See What Could've Been
The existence of Star Trek: Phase II—the plans for a Star Trek continuation series in the mid-1970s that eventually gave way to Star Trek: The Motion Picture—has been known for a very long time at this point. We've seen concept art, we've seen story ideas, and we've seen it for long enough to see how those nuggets have gone on to influence the Star Trek that we would go on to get for another 50 years. And yet, there's still plenty to enjoy in this new documentary about the bumpy road Star Trek almost made on the journey home back to our screens. Produced by the Roddenberry Archive and OTOY—the companies behind those viral Star Trek short films and a litany of other archival Trek projects and videos—Lost Voyages is a 30-minute documentary that charts the story of what happened when Paramount realized the success it had on its hands when Star Trek became a syndication hit. It covers early potential movies that never happened, all the way through the ideation and early production work for the next Star Trek show—and how things fell apart when the last-minute decision was made to take one of its episodes, 'In Thy Image,' and turn it into a theatrical Star Trek movie. Alongside insight from Phase II producer Jon Povill and writers Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens (and even Trek icons George Takei and Walter Koenig), Lost Voyages offers a lot of fascinating insight into how Phase II came about and gives plenty of crisp looks at behind-the-scenes material from the show's production. Of course, in OTOY's style with these Trek lookbacks as well, there's plenty of 3D material replicating concept work done for the series, extrapolating how its sets might have looked like the updated Enterprise bridge (which would be iterated on and used for The Motion Picture), or imagining the finished and finalized model for the initial Enterprise refit. While much of the history is already known about Phase II, it's still an intriguing look back at what might have been—in a way we've never really seen it before. Want more io9 news? Check out when to expect the latest Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek releases, what's next for the DC Universe on film and TV, and everything you need to know about the future of Doctor Who.

Disney earnings preview: All eyes on ESPN amid streaming push
Disney (DIS) is set to report fiscal third quarter results before the bell on Wednesday. Investor attention is squarely on its sports strategy amid reports that ESPN has reached a deal to acquire key NFL Media assets, including NFL RedZone, in exchange for an equity stake of up to 10% in the network. Sports remain a central pillar of Disney's streaming strategy as ESPN prepares to launch a new standalone service this fall. Analysts see the debut as a key step toward more bundling opportunities with Disney+ and Hulu as streamers across the industry work to retain subscribers and reduce churn. Here's how Wall Street expects Disney to perform, according to consensus estimates compiled by Bloomberg: Total revenue: $23.68 billion versus $23.16 billion in Q3 2024 Adjusted earnings per share: $1.46 versus $1.39 in Q3 2024 Entertainment revenue: $10.82 billion versus $10.58 billion in Q3 2024 Parks and Experiences revenue: $8.87 billion versus $8.39 billion in Q3 2024 Sports revenue: $4.44 billion versus $4.56 billion in Q3 2024 Disney+ subscriber net additions: 2.05 million versus 7.7 million in Q3 2024 "With the NFL as an investor, ESPN's long-term future is incrementally more secure," Morgan Stanley analyst Ben Swinburne wrote in a note previewing the results. "While the NFL cannot stop cord-cutting and will surely not give Disney a discount in future rights renewals, by investing in ESPN, the NFL will be even more motivated to help ESPN survive and potentially thrive in the new streaming-first world ahead," he wrote. Read more: Live coverage of corporate earnings In May, Disney raised its full-year profit forecast to $5.75 a share, marking a 16% increase from fiscal 2024. "If the macro backdrop remains healthy, we see Disney generating healthy double-digit adjusted EPS growth in the years ahead," Swinburne added, raising his price target on the stock to $140 from the prior $120. Disney stock has rebounded about 7% since the start of 2025 but still slightly lags the broader S&P 500 (^GSPC). The push into streaming comes as Disney continues to adapt to the mass exodus of pay-TV subscribers. In June, the company laid off several hundred employees across its global operations in a bid to streamline costs, with cuts impacting areas such as TV marketing, publicity, and corporate finance. In a statement to Yahoo Finance, Disney said at the time that it had taken a "surgical" approach to minimize the number of impacted roles, adding that no entire teams were being eliminated. Since 2023, Disney has cut more than 8,000 jobs as part of a $7.5 billion cost-savings initiative. Beyond sports and streaming, Disney's Parks and Experiences segment remains a key growth driver. Wall Street analysts expect operating income from the unit to accelerate in fiscal 2026, fueled by new cruise ships and the continued ramp-up of international and domestic park expansions. In a notable push abroad, the company recently announced plans to open a new theme park and resort in Abu Dhabi — its first major expansion into the Middle East and its seventh global resort. The move comes as fresh competition emerges closer to home following the debut of NBCUniversal's Epic Universe in May. Alexandra Canal is a Senior Reporter at Yahoo Finance.
