Veronica Beard and Head Sportswear Just Dropped a Collab—Shop It Now
Whether you're on the court or watching from the sidelines, there's something transfixing about the sight of a tennis ball slicing through the air—driven by a perfect blend of power and grace. That moment becomes even more vivid when you're fully equipped for the occasion.
Veronica Beard understands the power of looking the part—and feeling confident while doing it. Whether you're in the boardroom, running errands, or powering through a high-speed rally, what you wear can shape your day-to-day. Just in time for summer, the brand has partnered with Head Sportswear to launch a chic, limited-edition capsule collection of tennis apparel and activewear.
NCAA tennis champion and content creator Ayan Broomfield, who stars in the campaign for the capsule, knows firsthand the impact of style on performance. 'After playing tennis for over 20 years, I've definitely learned how to find confidence on and off the court with my style,' she tells ELLE. 'This collection encapsulates that, and I hope that anyone who wears these pieces feels the same way. I always use the motto: Look good, feel good, play good. I'm such a huge believer that what you wear impacts how you feel. You can take that from being on the court, but also incorporate it into your daily life.'
Priced between $80 and $298, the collection includes six thoughtfully designed pieces: a sleek tennis dress (a standout for Broomfield), a versatile skort, a classic tank top, a coordinated sports bra and leggings set, and a lightweight track jacket ideal for warmups. 'Tennis dresses are such a staple,' Broomfield says. 'But this one in particular is sporty, feminine, and feels amazing to wear. I can throw it on with sneakers or style it with a jacket—it transitions seamlessly from day to night. It's definitely my favorite piece.'
It's no surprise that function and versatility are central to Broomfield's approach to fashion. As an athlete, social media personality, and philanthropist—while also traveling the globe to support her longtime partner, pro tennis star Frances Tiafoe—she leads a fast-paced, multifaceted life. 'My number one priority is always finding that balance between function and fashion,' she says. 'This collection lets me move freely while still feeling stylish.'
For Broomfield, functional fashion is more than practicality—it's a form of self-expression. 'I remember going to the US Open and seeing the Williams sisters, especially Serena. Her outfits were so out-there and screamed personality and confidence,' she recalls. 'In other sports, athletes wear jerseys; it's a team thing. Tennis is so individual, and that gives you the freedom to really express who you are through what you wear.'

Selena Gomez Reveals Her Surprising Dream Wedding Dessert for Upcoming Ceremony
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. THE RUNDOWN Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco got engaged in December 2024, but not yet revealed their wedding plan. Fans have been wanting to know more details about the upcoming event, and the Only Murder in the Building star finally shared some this week. On her Rare Beauty brand's TikTok account, Gomez shared some of her thoughts on the reception, saying she had some ideas for the dessert. Traditionally, a big wedding cake is expected, but Gomez has other dreams. 'My preferred dessert would be biscuits and gravy,' she shared. 'My Nana's biscuits and gravy. That sounds like dessert to me.' She also explained, 'Whenever that day comes, I do know I don't want a big cake. I think I'd want a mini one, for just us, that we can freeze.' Gomez previously discussed the first dance between the bride and groom on an episode of Table Manners with Jessie and Lennie Ware, saying she was probably going to skip it. 'I don't think we're looking at having one of those 'cause they're a little—I feel embarrassed,' she said. But she was hoping to be escorted down the aisle by her grandfather. 'He never got a chance to walk my mom down the aisle,' she explained. 'I wanted to give [my grandfather] the opportunity to have that.' In July, Blanco discussed how planning is going on Jake Shane's podcast, Therapuss. The music producer said that they have both been so busy since the release of their album, I Said I Love You First. 'That's why we both need to chill,' Blanco explained. 'We've both been working so much. We got engaged, and then we were filming music videos for our album. Then it's holidays, then right after the holidays, we had to start all the promo for our stuff, do that. Then she left to film her show Only Murders [in the Building] and then I met her, then we hung out for a week, and then right after that, it's promo. And then I'm writing another book, so then I had to write a book, and then she came back for one day here. And then it was my birthday, and you know.' He continued, 'We're both working on so many things that we hadn't even had time to get into it, but we're so excited. I think this summer we're going to sit down and be like, 'Okay, what are we doing, hun?''

Joaquin Nieman Reveals Open Reason For Axing Caddie, Coach
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. It looks like Joaquin Niemann has finally hit rock bottom in terms of his major championship results. At the highest level of professional golf, the Chilean has only one top-10 finish in 26 starts, missing the cut eight times. In fact, in his two most recent major starts (US Open, Open Championship), he missed the cut. This contrasts with the tremendous success Niemann has had at LIV Golf over the past two seasons. Last year, he won two tournaments, and now how he has a chance for his fifth LIV victory of 2025, bringing a commanding six-shot lead into Sunday. Clearly, something isn't working with his performance at the majors, and Niemann is determined to fix it. His decisions were drastic: changing caddies and coaches in one fell swoop. "I'd say it's been a little weird the last two, three weeks," he said from the venue of the LIV Golf UK, according to the transcripts of his post-second round performance. "I was pretty frustrated at the beginning of this week after a bad result, obviously, at The Open as well and all the rest kind of going on. I feel like -- not low, but I wasn't -- like going on the golf course going into this week, I wasn't feeling that confident at all."

Joaquin Niemann of Torque GC in action on day two of LIV Golf UK by JCB at JCB Golf & Country Club on July 26, 2025 in Uttoxeter, is usually the case, Niemann expressed his gratitude for the work his former caddie and coach had done alongside him for several years. "I'm really grateful for them, for the two people that are not working with me anymore on the team but it's part of it." Niemann's former caddie, Gary Matthews, had been with him since the 2020 US Open, accompanying him for one of his two PGA Tour victories (the 2022 Genesis Invitational), all six of his LIV Golf victories, and his only top-10 finish in major championships (the 2025 PGA Championship, T8). Niemann replaced Matthews with his good friend Diego Salinas, a professional player on the Chilean Golf Tour. As for his former coach, Eduardo Miquel, he had worked with Niemann since he began his professional career in 2018.

CBS Sports: Wisconsin projected to have one of college basketball's top offenses in 2025
With roughly three months remaining until the 2025-26 college basketball regular season, the Wisconsin Badgers received high praise on Friday. In CBS Sports' recent article, titled '101 Days Out: College basketball stars, new faces, contenders, storylines ahead of 2025-26 season', analyst Isaac Trotter outlined several lookahead themes for the 2025-26 slate. Among those themes, Trotter looked at which programs roster the best projected offensive units. Wisconsin, which finished the 2024-25 season with a 27-10 mark and No. 3 seed in the 2025 NCAA Tournament, was listed as one of the outlet's top 10 projected offensive programs this fall alongside the UConn Huskies, Purdue Boilermakers, Louisville Cardinals, Florida Gators, Kentucky Wildcats, Illinois Fighting Illini, BYU Cougars, Texas Tech Red Raiders and Duke Blue Devils. Here's what Trotter shared regarding the Badgers' offensive outlook this season: "The Badgers have three guards who can play on or off the ball in John Blackwell, Andrew Rohde and Nick Boyd, surrounding two sweet-shooting forwards (Austin Rapp and Nolan Winter). That's a dangerous combination offensively. Losing John Tonje stings, but Blackwell is the total package and has All-America upside as the go-to alpha." Yes, Wisconsin's roster is revamped with all sorts of talent, but projecting the program to recreate its 2024-25 offensive success is a difficult task. Wisconsin boasted KenPom's No. 13 offensive unit this past season, a threshold traditional Badger ensembles rarely reach. Backed by All-American wing John Tonje, who now a member of the NBA's Utah Jazz, UW averaged 80.1 points per game off 45.4% shooting from the field, 34.8% from 3-point range and 82.6% from the charity stripe. Notably, Gard's group finished with at least 80 points in 19 contests -- the most by any Badger bunch in years. UW now welcomes the aforementioned Rhode, Boyd and Rapp into its starting unit, three more-than-capable offensive contributors. In a loaded Big Ten, the starting unit shapes up well against almost any program. That lineup's first exhibition test is slated for Oct. 24 against the Oklahoma Sooners in Milwaukee.
