KATSEYE's Manon Bannerman Reveals the Inspiration Behind Her Viral Eyebrows
Bea Oyster
Back in January, KATSEYE member Manon Bannerman inspired a major beauty movement. Some celebrities become known for a signature feature that fans wish to emulate: Rihanna's scent, Sabrina Carpenter's bangs, Bella Hadid's style, and more. For Manon, it was her sharp, straight eyebrows.
The 22-year-old Dream Academy alum debuted alongside the other KATSEYE members — Daniela Avanzini, Lara Raj, Megan Skiendiel, Sophia Laforteza, and Yoonchae Jeong — in June 2024. Since then, they have risen to fame with the hit song 'Touch' and viral moments aplenty on social media. Along the way, they've similarly grown their fashion profiles, working with Coach and scoring custom looks from Anna Sui. Soon after, they expanded into the beauty world with their signature makeup looks.
Known for her strong straight brows, TikTok began recreating Manon's eyebrow shape to try for themselves. The results left them impressed, and seemingly others as well, since they're getting thousands of likes and hundreds of comments, even one from Manon herself.
Kate is one of the TikTok users who brought the look to our FYPs. 'I've always been into the whole 'thin and straight brows' trend, but I was very scared of the result,' she told Teen Vogue. 'People kept telling me that my brows were my best feature and that I should not touch them. However, I've been obsessed with Manon from KATSEYE since September 2023, and I don't know, something about her makeup and brows is just beautiful.' She originally tested the look out for herself by using concealer to cover the length and arch of her eyebrows, which she also recommends doing for anyone thinking of trying out the look for themselves. 'If you want to try changing something on your face, you should definitely experiment with changing the shape of your brow,' she adds.
Mumtas is another TikTok user who tried out the look and went viral. The video earned over one million views, and she even caught the attention of Manon herself, who commented, 'wow.' Many other commenters asked for a tutorial, which Mumtas later uploaded, so others could get the look themselves as well.
Now, we finally know how Manon got into the style herself. As it turns out, Manon was inspired by others as well. In her cover interview with Teen Vogue, Manon shared that she was inspired by her friend Sophie. 'She has her eyebrows really thin and straight, and she kind of inspired me and I did the same, and now we're both just rocking these brows,' Manon says. 'But I got to give her her credit.'
Manon was also convinced by another pop star like herself. 'Doja Cat also had her era where she had thin brows and straight brows, and that also inspired me.' In addition to her signature brows, Manon also reveals that she had barely-there bleached brows in the past, too. She says, 'I just like to change it up.'

Husband Couldn't Taste Their 'Gender Reveal' Milkshake. But His Wife's Reaction Said It All (Exclusive)
Sarah Smith and her husband Eli found out they were expecting their first child on Jan. 7 As the weeks passed, preparations for the sex reveal began Sarah, 28, started searching online for low-key reveal ideas. One in particular caught her eye: using milkshakesWhen Sarah Smith and her husband Eli found out they were expecting their first child on Jan. 7, the upstate New York-based couple — along with their families — were over the moon. As the weeks passed, preparations for the sex reveal began. Sarah, 28, started searching online for low-key reveal ideas. One in particular caught her eye: using milkshakes. The moment she saw it, she recalls thinking, 'This is it.' 'We've always tried to keep big moments between just the two of us, at least at first,' Sarah tells PEOPLE exclusively. 'It just felt more playful and different.' The reveal happened during a ski trip with friends in Bozeman, Mont. — a place that already holds deep meaning for the couple. It's where they honeymooned, and where they were legally married by proxy while Eli, 30, was stationed overseas. For the reveal, they went to a local spot in Bozeman called Burger Bob's. Once there, they explained the situation to their waitress, Brittney. The instructions were simple: strawberry for a girl, peanut butter for a boy. One shake, two straws, lots of whipped cream. Sarah handed Brittney a sealed envelope with the results from their blood test. 'She was totally into it and really made it special,' Sarah says. Not long after, Brittney returned with the milkshake. After one sip, Sarah tasted strawberry and recalls feeling overwhelmed, in the best way. But for Eli, the moment played out a little differently. 'I tend to hold stuff in when I'm processing big emotions, and in that moment, I had like a million things going on in my head, my straw wasn't working, I was trying to read her reaction, I wasn't even sure if I'd tasted anything yet,' he tells PEOPLE. 'But what really stopped me was her face. I've seen her happy plenty of times, but this was different. It was raw joy,' he adds. 'And knowing she's had some nerves about pregnancy and everything that comes with it … to see all that melt away and just be replaced by that much happiness, it was so sweet to see. I'll never forget it.' Sarah filmed the moment mostly to capture the memory for the pair and to share with family. She hadn't planned to post it publicly, but after sending it around to a few people, she uploaded it to TikTok, where she usually saves sweet memories. Then the video went viral, amassing more than 8.1 million views and 2,400 comments. 'It was wild,' Sarah says. 'I posted it and then just … walked away from my phone. When I came back, it had all these views and comments, and it just kept going. We hadn't even told all our friends we were expecting yet, so suddenly we were like, 'Okay, time to make some calls before people find out from TikTok.' Friends, coworkers, even people we hadn't talked to in years were texting like, 'Wait, is this you?!' ' 'Honestly, it's been really positive,' she adds. 'People seem to love the idea. A few comments were funny or even a little snarky, but nothing that bothered us. We just laugh about it. Some people are convinced Eli looks disappointed, which … he wasn't. But it's kind of hilarious to see the interpretations.' Now 25 weeks along, Sarah says that while the first trimester was tough, she's been enjoying the rest of the pregnancy. She's staying active, and everything just feels more meaningful. 'Every kick, every ultrasound, it gets me emotional every time," Sarah says. "I love setting up her room, shopping for baby clothes, all of it.' 'No way I could've waited until the birth — I really wanted to know," she adds of the baby's sex. "I was hoping for a girl, so finding out early felt important to me.' The couple already has a name picked out but plans to keep it private for now. But when it came to sharing the sex with the world, Sarah says she's glad they did. 'In a world where everything feels like it has to be shared or staged for an audience, this was a reminder that intimacy and authenticity still matter," the mom-to-be says. "It doesn't have to be perfect or go viral to be special. What made that milkshake moment unforgettable wasn't the setup, it was the emotion behind it." "The joy, the nervousness, the genuine surprise. We weren't acting for anyone," she adds. "We were just fully present with each other, and I think people could feel that."

Who Is Wendy Ortiz? Why Fans Are Begging Kylie Jenner to Collab with Her
Kylie Jenner's comment sections can be a dark and divisive space. It's where you'll find debates about what work she's gotten done, droves of naysayers policing her mothering style, and maybe even some calls to eat the rich. But as of late, on Kylie's TikTok, you'll also find a pretty unified front. A baffling one at that. Because it's where thousands of users are asking, nay, begging, for Kylie to recognize someone by the name of Wendy Ortiz. The requests take the shape of anything from "WENDY ORTIZ COLLAB QUEEN" to the slightly less aggressive "Wendy Ortiz X Kylie Jenner collab Would EAT." The tireless calls are being made on Kylie's GRWM videos, her thirst traps, and even her well-intentioned promos for new Kylie Cosmetics foundation brushes. The Wendy Ortiz hive will not let Kylie rest. If the legion of shooters she's got littered in Kylie's comments weren't already an indication, let it be known that Wendy is no random. In short, she's 21 years old, a Scorpio, and has over 3.7 million followers on TikTok. She originally came to slight fame in 2018 through the YouTube channel she shared with her twin sister, called Evelyn and Wendolyn, but her solo TikTok blew up in 2023. It's where she posts everything from dance videos to comedy skits to clips of her 2-year-old daughter, Valentina (Wendy had her in 2023 with her on-again, off-again partner, Carlos). But recently, Valentina has set her sights on a whole other platform, Twitch. Her following on there is a bit smaller (678k), but she was one of the more popular students at Kai Cenat's recent Streamer University project, and since then has hosted a Streamer University recap livestream and some Q&As on Twitch. The Kylie Jenner of it all began when, during one of her streams, Wendy decided to shoot her shot and vocalize that her dream collab would be with the makeup mogul. Now, to be clear, by "collab," Wendy doesn't mean join forces on a cosmetic product or campaign, but instead just having Kylie join her on one of her streams. A harmless ask! But Wendy's fans, the "Winions" (a stan name deserving of a trademark), heard this dream and decided it was their mission to make it a reality. Hence their intense presence in the comments of everything Kylie posts, which some have understandably grown a little tired of. "Leave this woman alone…. she's not collabing with a tiktoker," wrote one worn down Kylie follower. "When you say collab, what are you guys referring to just sitting in front of a camera together? lol" asks another. (A genuinely valid question.) Now according to some eagle-eyed Winions (I'm obsessed with this stan name and intend to say it as much as possible) their calls might posisbly have been heard. Earlier this week on a stream, Wendy was left astonished by a text she'd received, which the Winons took to mean that Wendy had finally received contact from Kylie herself. Now, any word from Kylie herself about the phenomenon is yet to come. But I can't imagine she can keep posting business as usual for very long. The Winions have shown no sign of letting up.

Nutella just announced its 1st new flavor in over 60 years. Not everyone's excited about it.
Iconic hazelnut and cocoa spread Nutella is debuting a new flavor in spring 2026, and it's ideal for peanut butter enthusiasts. The original Nutella, which hails from Italian company Ferraro, is synonymous with the rich taste of chocolate and hazelnut. The new flavor — which marks Nutella's first since 1964 — adds a twist to the original recipe. It's called Nutella Peanut, and, according to the Ferraro website, the new product blends the 'distinctive creaminess of Nutella cocoa hazelnut spread with the delicious taste of roasted peanuts.' 'Developing Nutella and Ferrero Rocher products specifically for the North American market represents a defining moment in our company's history,' Michael Lindsey, Ferraro's North America president and chief business officer, said in a statement. 'These innovations will engage both loyal fans and new consumers, boosting our power brands and further solidifying our position as a category leader in North America.' Another bonus? Nutella Peanut is also dairy-free and, though not marketed as such, appears to be a vegan product as well. This comes on the heels of Nutella's plant-based versio, which launched in 2024 and is available only in select markets in Italy, France and Belgium. While the new flavor won't be on the market for another year, people who have not yet tried the product are already sharing their strong opinions on social media about the vegan peanut spread. 'Hazelnuts to peanuts??' one commented on a TikTok sharing the news. 'So they're making peanut butter.' 'Why do we need peanut flavored nut butter?' another questioned in a separate comments section. Others were unhappy that the new flavor includes peanut, as it is a common allergen: 'Wasn't the whole point of Nutella is to be a replacement for peanut butter for those who couldn't eat it?' one asked. Another noted that they only reason they choose Nutella is that they are 'allergic to every nut' with the exception of hazelnuts. A third wrote that they love that the new flavor is dairy-free but noted they really love the taste of the hazelnut spread. 'Can we have the regular flavor but just dairy free?' they asked, noting that other dairy-free Nutella-like products out there are 'always peanut- or almond-based' with 'no hazelnut in sight.' (It's worth noting that Nutella Peanut will incorporate hazelnut as well as peanut.) Still, others were excited: 'I'm dairy-free so this is a win for me,' one Nutella fan added. Another shared, 'As someone who's allergic to dairy I'm very excited.' Meanwhile, people were also inspired to share their own ideas for the next Nutella flavor. Plenty of people were hoping that the next flavor would incorporate pistachio for a Dubai chocolate bar take, while others asked for white chocolate or strawberry. And, hey, given that this is the first new Nutella flavor in more than six decades, the sky really is the limit.
