20 Years Later, I'm Still Invested in the Moto Style From Supercross
Cinemaphiles may scoff at this next statement, but sometimes (often), I enjoy watching movies purely for the visuals—meaning, I could care less about the actual plot, character development, or big, climactic ending. Can't a movie just be fun to look at? Not everything needs to be as masterfully-written as Citizen Kane or The Godfather. Specifically, I love seeing the unsung fashion in B-movies. Films that were critically-panned at the time, but feature a killer wardrobe nonetheless. For instance: 20 years ago today, one such feature film—Supercross—made its debut on the big screen; I still find its edgy racing style compelling today. Should you care about the actual plot, I will give you the abbreviated version: Following the suspicious death of their father, brothers K.C. (Steve Howey) and Trip (Mike Vogel) encourage each other to get back on their bikes, and take part in the Las Vegas Motocross Championships. There's good ol' fashioned sibling rivalry, camaraderie, and plenty of high-paced vroom-vroom bike racing scenes. But for me, I have long watched the movie purely for the fashions alone. The moto outfits, brought to life by costume designer Elaine Montalvo, completely steal the show.

Duchess Meghan turns 44: British royal gets sweet birthday shoutout from As Ever brand
Duchess Meghan may be busy building her business kingdom, but today she's being crowned. The British American royal and entrepreneur, who turned 44 on Monday, Aug. 4, received a warm birthday shoutout on Instagram from her lifestyle brand As Ever, which launched in April to fan acclaim. The company, which has become known for its homey aesthetic and assortment of fruit spreads, herbal teas and baking mixes, shared a black-and-white photo of the duchess wearing a sun dress and wide-brimmed hat alongside its celebratory message. "Celebrating the woman behind it all," the company wrote in the post's caption. "She pours her heart, vision and magic touch into every detail, and today, we raise a glass to her! Happy birthday to our founder @meghan 🥂" See Duchess Meghan's daughter Lilibet: Young princess makes adorable cameo in As Ever teaser Meghan, who is married to Prince Harry, has yet to share any glimpses of her birthday festivities with her 4.1 million Instagram followers. The Duchess of Sussex has been more open about her family life with Harry, which includes children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, with a series of candid posts. Meghan first teased As Ever in March 2024 when she made a buzzy return to Instagram after a yearslong social media hiatus to introduce fans to the lifestyle project, formerly named American Riviera Orchard. The duchess later revealed she renamed the brand As Ever because the previous title, a reference to her and Harry's Montecito residence, "limited me to things that were just manufactured and grown in this area." The first As Ever drop sold out in under an hour, and one product — the limited-edition wildflower honey with honeycomb for $28 — had fans buzzing, selling out in less than five minutes. The featured products in the company's first collection included $12 herbal tea in three flavors: hibiscus, peppermint and lemon ginger. 'You have to be authentic': Duchess Meghan responds to twerking video backlash The lifestyle brand teased its upcoming release, a vintage rosé wine, in an Instagram video on Aug. 3. "Goodness in a glass. Right around the corner... Cheers to August!" the company wrote alongside the teaser. As Ever is produced alongside Netflix, which also distributes Meghan's lifestyle show "With Love, Meghan." The series premiered in March and was quickly renewed for a second season, although a release date has not been announced. Contributing: Taijuan Moorman and Jay Stahl, USA TODAY

Why Does Anna From Netflix's ‘My Oxford Year' Look So Familiar?
Netflix's new romantic comedy drama My Oxford Year stars Sofia Carson as Anna De La Vega. What else has Carson starred in? Directed by Iain Morris, My Oxford Year debuted on Netflix on Friday. The summary for the movie reads, 'When Anna (Carson), an ambitious young American woman, sets out for the UK and the University of Oxford to fulfill a childhood dream, she's got her life completely on track. That is, until she meets a charming and clever local, Jamie (Corey Mylchreest), who profoundly alters both of their lives.' Born Sofía Daccarett Char in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on April 10, 1993, Char, who uses her mother's maiden name Carson as her professional name, made her screen debut in a guest role in a 2014 episode of the Disney Channel series Austin & Ally. Carson's next guest role came in 2015 in the MTV series Faking It, which was followed by a role in the same year that helped launch her career. Here's a look at some of the other TV series and films that Carson has appeared in and why she looks so familiar as Anna in My Oxford Year. 'Descendants' (2015) Sofia Carson's first big screen role came in the Disney TV movie Descendants, where she plays Evie, the daughter of the Evil Queen from Snow White in Disney lore. Carson reprised the role of Evie in the TV movies Descendants 2 in 2017 and Descendents 3 in 2019, as well as the TV special Descendants: The Royal Wedding in 2021. In additon, Carson voiced the role of Evie in the animated Disney series Descendants: Wicked World from 2017-2019. 'Adventures In Babysitting (2016) Sofia Carson and Sabrina Carpenter starred as Lola Perez and Jenny Carpenter in the TV movie Adventures in Babysitting, which aired on the Disney Channel. Adventures in Babysitting is a remake of the 1987 comedy hit of the same name that starred Elisabeth Shue and was directed by Chris Columbus. 'Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists' (2019) Sofia Carson starred as fashion trendsetter Ava Jalali in Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists, the third series in the Pretty Little Liars TV franchise. The crime mystery series ran on Freeform for one season and consisted of 10 episodes. 'Feel The Beat' (2020) Sofia Carson's first film on Netflix came with the dance comedy drama Feel the Beat. Carson stars as April, an aspiring Broadway dancer who after a tough break during an audition, moves back to her home town in Wisconsin and coaches a group of young dancers. 'Purple Hearts' (2022) Sofia Carson starred opposite Nicholas Galitzine in Netflix's Purple Hearts, about an aspiring musician, Cassie, who struggles to buy insulin as a Type 1 diabetic. Cassie and a Marine, Luke (Galitzine), however, find a solution with a marriage of convenience. Cassie can get health benefits as a military spouse and Luke can get an increase in pay — but then both of their lives become very complicated. 'Carry-On' (2024) Sofia Carson starred in a supporting role opposite Taron Edgerton in Carry-On, a Netflix original movie that was released on December 2024. Edgerton plays Ethan, a TSA officer in Los Angeles who is blackmailed by a mysterious man called The Traveler (Jason Bateman) to allow a bomb carrying a lethal chemical agent aboard a flight. When Ethan tries to stop The Traveler's plans, it puts his and his girlfriend Nora's (Carson) life — as well as the life of their unborn child — in danger. 'The Life List' (2025) Released in March, Netflix's romantic drama The Life List stars Sofia Carson as Alex, a woman who seeks to attain unrealized goals from childhood after her mother dies. The Life List also stars Connie Britton and Kyle Allen. 'Netflix TUDUM' (2025) Sofia Carson has become such of a fixture on Netflix that she hosted the streaming platform's annual TUDUM event in May. The live presentation gave a preview of the Netflix's upcoming programming including Wednesday Season 2, Stranger Things Season 5 and Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein. My Oxford Year, starring Sofia Carson, is new on Netflix.
