Jennifer Lawrence's New It Sneaker Is Barely a Sneaker at All
SINY, ULRA, REES
Once again, Jennifer Lawrence is leagues ahead of the rest of us when it comes to her footwear.
If you've been paying attention to sneaker trends, you may have seen it: how sneakers are becoming slimmer and slimmer, something more akin to a soccer cleat or a ballet flat than the chunky platform styles of yesteryear. It feels as though eventually they'll be nothing more than a thin rubber coating strapped under a bare foot.
Lawrence's 'sneakers' are almost there. The actor stepped out in New York City on July 16 in her trusty pair of Wales Bonner Mary Jane sneakers, sort of a ballet flat-sneaker hybrid with a thick elastic strap and a Velcro closure. Viewed in side profile, a gum sole hugs the arch of the foot, giving the whole thing the look of a rock-climbing or cycling shoe.

The actor styled her Mary Jane sneakers with red trousers (the hems of which drag on the floor, in true JLaw fashion), a Picasso print T-shirt layered under a cobalt blue cardigan, which she'd tied around her shoulders, and a floppy black bucket hat pulled low over her face. She swapped out her favorite satchels from The Row and Fendi for a cream-colored mesh tote bag. This is a look for a woman on the move.
In terms of shoe trends, the 34-year-old is always one step ahead of the curve. She was an early adopter of Alaïa's mesh flats, as well as The Row's sheer slippers—both of which became the must-have shoes of the past few seasons. And while we might balk at the price tag of her flip-flops (yes, those are $700 thong sandals), there's no denying that if Jennifer Lawrence wears a certain style, it's soon to become A Thing. She's like the weatherman of shoe trends. Stick with her and you'll be alright.

Am I Dreaming or Is "My Best Friend's Wedding" Really Getting a Sequel?
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Save the date! A sequel to My Best Friend's Wedding is reportedly on the way. The 1997 rom-com starred Julia Roberts as Julianne Potter, a New York City-based food critic who made a pact to marry her college best friend, Michael (Dermot Mulroney), if they were both still single by the time they turned 28. Instead of getting a proposal on the eve of her 28th birthday, Julianne gets invited to Michael's unexpected wedding to a college junior named Kimmy (Cameron Diaz). The surprise nuptials makes Julianne realize that she's in love with Michael—and now she only has a few days to break up the couple for good. For everything we know about the sequel, keep scrolling. Celine Song will write the script. Collider reported on July 29 that Sony has tapped Celine Song to write the sequel's script. Song is well known for her tender and moving depictions of love and romance onscreen; she previously wrote and directed the 2023 Oscar-nominated film Past Lives and the 2025 rom-com Materialists. The original cast has teased the possibility of a sequel. Mulroney talked about the potential sequel during an interview with the New York Post on July 25. 'There is talk of a sequel,' he told the outlet. 'I know nothing about it. Last I heard, quote, lawyers were talking, unquote.' Roberts has also previously expressed interest in returning to her role as Julianne. When asked which of her previous films she'd want to see get a sequel during a 2023 appearance on Watch What Happens Live, she answered, 'I think, maybe, My Best Friend's Wedding.' She added that she would want 'to see what they're doing and how Kimmy and Michael's marriage is going.'

Sydney Sweeney Is Facing A Backlash Over Her New American Eagle Campaign. Here's What People Are Saying
Sydney Sweeney's new collaboration with the fashion brand American Eagle has become the centre of a whole lot of debate. The Euphoria star unveiled a new campaign with the American clothing brand last week, to promote their line of denim last week. However, it didn't take long before social media clips to promote the deal sparked a wave of discomfort among many critics, largely due to some of the language that's used in the campaign. This is the story so far… What is Sydney Sweeney's new ad campaign for American Eagle all about? For American Eagle's autumn 2025 campaign, Sydney Sweeney can be seen sporting items from the brand's denim range, including a new pair of jeans inspired by her. The campaign also makes use of the slogan 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans', a pun on the term 'great genes'. In another, she explains: 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair colour, personality and even eye colour.' 'My jeans are blue,' she then quips, at which point a narrator delivers the line: 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.' Why are some people upset about Sydney Sweeney's new ads for American Eagle? Unfortunately this repeated use of the slogan 'great jeans', a pun on 'great genes', has put some viewers in mind of the language used by white supremacists and eugenicists. By centring a blonde, white star in a campaign referencing 'genes', some critics are accusing the brand of tone-deafness at best – particularly in the current political climate – and deliberately pushing a white supremacist agenda at worst. HuffPost UK has contacted representatives for both Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle for comment. Others are pointing out that Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle campaign doesn't mention one other important aspect of the product American Eagle's new 'Sydney Jean' features a butterfly detail on its back pocket, in a nod to domestic violence awareness, a cause which the White Lotus star has championed throughout her career. In fact, an American Eagle press release confirmed that '100% of the purchase price from 'The Sydney Jean' will be donated to Crisis Text Line', a charity in the US which aims to help those affected by domestic violence. However, the ads are also being criticised for not highlighting this key part of the campaign, with some saying its accompanying slogan is even more jarring as a result. Has Sydney Sweeney or American Eagle said anything about the controversy? Not yet, but we'll be sure to keep you updated if and when they do… READ MORE: Glen Powell's Ex Makes Veiled Comments About How Sydney Sweeney Rumours Affected Relationship Sydney Sweeney Fires Back After Producer's Takedown Of Her Looks And Talent Sydney Sweeney Makes Blunt Comment On Women's Empowerment In Hollywood

This choice exposed me to the marvelous world of film scholarship, adding to my already fervent love for movies.

The one platform that saved me throughout my semesters of frantic screenings was the streaming service Kanopy. Kanopy is an on-demand video platform that boasts a catalog of 30,000-plus titles, including classics, film noirs and award nominees. And unlike other streaming services like Netflix that are consistently raising their prices, Kanopy is still free. As a college student, I had free access to the platform with my university email address. The best part -- besides Kanopy being ad-free -- is that I didn't have to give up my account after I graduated; I'm still streaming its robust offerings for free thanks to my public library card.
