Rihanna Teases Name Plan for Baby No. 3: ‘It's Tradition At This Point'
The singer, who is currently pregnant with her third child, showed up to the Smurfs premiere in Los Angeles with both of her babies by her side. Rihanna—who shares son RZA, 3, and Riot, 23 months, with boyfriend A$AP Rocky—revealed some of her plans for baby number three, including whether or not she's going to keep with tradition when thinking of a name.
'I'm excited for tonight. Tonight is going to be fun, and we get to watch the movie together for the first time. I get to watch it in its full completion. So, that should be interesting,' she told Extra . 'Everybody gets to watch it on the 18th. So, we're really going for it now. It's finally being birthed. We've been working on it for so long. So, like, a few years now, actually. And it's happening…You know, you start working on something and 2025 feels so far away and then we're here.'
Of course, the soon-to-be mama of three was asked about how her little ones feel as they wait on the arrival of another sibling, to which Rih confirmed, 'Oh, they're delighted.'
She played coy when asked about the sex of her next baby, insisting, 'You have to wait and see. Oh, my gosh, are you guys going to be so hurt if it's a boy? I've always wanted a girl. God knows best, right? And I love my boys.'
While she didn't give a straight answer on that, Rihanna did confirm that her third child will keep with the tradition of having a name that starts with the letter 'R.'
'I mean, of course. It's tradition at this point,' she told the outlet.

The Fenty founder rocked an Alaïa outfit for dinner, per Vogue , baring her growing bump in a white hooded crop top, which she paired with a low-slung sequinned skirt featuring a voluminous waistband. She topped off her monochromatic look with white pointy-toe heels, black sunglasses, and simple diamond accessories.
It's unclear when the star is expected to give birth, but one thing we can always count on Rihanna for is serving us maternity looks up until the last minute!

I Asked an Italian Fashion Designer What Locals Are Wearing This Summer, and She Gave Me These 8 Style Tips
Every summer since moving to Italy, my Instagram direct messages are filled with American friends asking me, 'What should I pack?' before their upcoming European vacations. But the truth is, the answer varies depending on where you're headed. What I pack in my weekender bag for visiting Tuscany differs greatly from what I'd be taking on a holiday in Sardinia. And, there's the matter of personal style to address—I like to think I take a little bit of Italian summer style and make it my own. Still, there are timeless Italian style pieces that will work for all wardrobes and destinations—and to determine the Italian summer style must-haves, I turned to my most fashionable Italian friend, fashion designer Stella Jean. I've been a huge fan of Stella's work since the early days of her brand; a protege of Giorgio Armani, Stella Jean has dressed global style icons like Rihanna, Beyonce, Zendaya, and Sandra Bullock. In that oh-so-romantic Italian way, Jean not only gave me packing tips, but life tips on how to channel Italian style: 'Don't just pack clothes—pack attitude ,' she told me. For her, the hallmark of Italian summer style is ' disinvoltura studiata ,' which translates literally to 'studied ease' but to Jean, is defined as, 'That elusive mix of ease and intention—where linen is always slightly crumpled (but never careless), and sandals are custom-made, possibly in a fishing village with no Wi-Fi but generational savoir-faire.' Hallmarks of Jean's collection, like her striped button-down shirt and bold patterned skirts, channel that disinvoltura studiata . To help you put together your own summer travel wardrobe, read on for eight Italian style tips based on Jean's advice. My linen wardrobe has dramatically increased since moving to Italy, strongly inspired by my husband and his full linen summer wardrobe that certainly caught my eye during our first summer dating. I learned from him how to wear and style linen, and now I love the fabric, particularly in the form of a matching set. Currently, I have three linen sets in my suitcase! Jean attests to donning linen in the summer as well, saying, 'It's slightly crumpled, but never careless.' I selected a few of my favorite looks, including a matching square-neck tank and skirt set from Madewell and a sleek cropped vest and high-rise pant from Gap. I've always appreciated the ease of the summer button-down shirt. Tied at the waist or tossed over a swimsuit, button-downs are a versatile style I've worn for decades. There's a beautiful familiarity to the style of a striped cotton poplin shirt I've seen worn in Italy. For Jean, a striped cotton poplin shirt is 'a quiet staple of the Italian summer, beloved by philosophers, fishermen, and flâneurs alike.' Stella Jean's striped shirts in a beautiful blue and white have always caught my eye, especially paired with eye-catching skirts, proving a striped shirt is not only a staple but also a neutral! I also found an oversized option from Madewell and a bright vermilion hue from Gap's partnership with Dôen that will definitely stand out. Beautiful wide-leg trousers and palazzo pants have always been a hallmark of great Italian style to me, and it's true for Jean, as well. After all, 'palazzo' pants are Italian (hence the Italian name), and are one of my oft-mentioned style staples. These comfortable, flowy bottoms are just as fitting for swanning through an Italian city's palazzo as they are for exploring small, tucked-away Italian towns and villages. Check out the best-selling Madewell Harlow Trousers for a more polished look or the white Quince wide-leg chino pants that are practically made for summer. One of Jean's top non-negotiables for Italian summer style is a pair of leather Capri sandals. 'For me, it's never really been summer without them,' she says. 'I started wearing them around 14, when my mother and I would have them made to measure in Positano or Capri. They're the kind of sandals that work [24/7]—from breakfast in linen to evening in a flowing dress.' She adds that she probably has 20 pairs by now, 'bought out of pure loyalty and frequent overuse.' But, if you can't make it to Capri or Positano for your fitting, get your pair from my husband's family's company—I'll ask my father-in-law to sprinkle in a little Italian sunshine into your package! You can also shop similar-looking leather sandals, like this strappy pair from Bernardo or this Cole Haan fisherman sandal. Pieces that work for day-to-night wear feel elusive, but Jean manages to master the art in her gorgeous dresses that you can put on for almost any occasion. 'Ask yourself: Would this look out of place at a café at noon or in a piazza at midnight? ' she says. If it suits both locales, then it's ready to go. Some of her most iconic dresses, like this striped floral midi dress with its striped cotton poplin shirt and full skirt featuring a bold colorful print, are reminiscent of the Caribbean, reminding me of Jean's cultural heritage as half Haitian. As seen with a pair of flats on style star Luna de Casanova or with heeled sandals on Jean herself, a versatile dress that blends styles is elegant for both day and night. Other dresses that capture a similar day-to-night feel are this gingham number from Gap x Dôen and this lightweight pinstripe Quince dress made of European linen. One of Jean's packing recommendations is a bold printed skirt, especially in a beautiful tropical print. A few years ago, while styling a photoshoot on the cliffs of Ravello along the Amalfi Coast, I used a cobalt blue painted draped linen skirt. I styled it with a crisp white button-down, and it's still one of my favorite looks. This Stella Jean Midi Wrap Skirt reminds me of that shoot and that beautiful summer day, and I can imagine packing it along with a crisp button-down or tank. I found a few more eye-catching skirts to pack for an instant outfit upgrade, like a colorful midi linen skirt from Banana Republic and a forest green printed skirt on sale for $27 at Amazon. The Italian pinstripes! While casually naming things to punctuate an outfit, Jean suggested adding pinstripes to your packing list. It's a hallmark of classic Italian style, beloved by everyone from bankers in Milan to politicians in Rome. There's a huge variety of pinstripe looks, like these wide-leg yellow linen pants from Mango or these Everlane barrel-leg pants with a dark denim pinstripe. I recently said to my husband, while packing for our vacation in Sardinia, 'I'm going to pack a scarf. There might be a breeze at night.' Have I become Italian? As Jean joked when suggesting a light scarf on her packing list, 'Italians will forever believe that il colpo d'aria is a real and present danger.' You'll get a cough with your throat exposed! But a scarf can be worn in several ways, making it a genius accessory to pack with you. For instance, Jean styles a head scarf impeccably well. When meeting her for lunch in Rome once, I was in awe of her striking figure in a beautiful head scarf and trench coat; I promptly styled a similar scarf for my flight to Nice the next day! One of these silky numbers will work overtime on an Italian holiday, whether you're tying this linen scarf around your neck or this parrot-patterned one over your head or tied to your purse.

Little Victories
This week, I went to a party thrown by a New York City deli to celebrate a specific varietal of herring. I was keen to attend because the concept of a herring party seemed delightful — an occasion for revelry that I'd never considered. I was intrigued to learn that in the Netherlands, this particular herring is traditionally fished for only a few months, when the herring's body fat reaches at least 16 percent, for maximum flavor. The Dutch even have an annual festival, Flag Day, to honor the opening of herring season. I had never celebrated herring before, but, then again, I haven't celebrated most things. We tend to confine our parties to milestones (birthdays, holidays, housewarmings, weddings) and cultural events (the Oscars, the Super Bowl). Why must it be this way? Sure, if every day is a special occasion, then no day is, but it seems unnecessary to let the calendar totally dictate when we raise a glass or kick up our heels. Also, it's sort of boring to glorify the same things year after year, when there's so much else out there that's worthy. Once you begin considering all the micro-occasions deserving of a rager or at least an intimate soiree, you realize you've been letting so many opportunities for merrymaking just sail right by. A New Haircut Party sounds fun (you tried a new style, you look great) as does a My Back Pain Finally Went Away Party (has there ever been a more profound reason to exult?). New tattoo, old tattoo removal; the puppy spent a full night in the crate; no cavities — let's rejoice! Commemorating the completion of something you've been procrastinating on forever seems only sensible: Come over for cocktails, I dry-cleaned my wool coat. Someone alerted me to the existence of a Forcing Party, which is part celebration, part motivation — friends gather and force one another to do things they've been putting off, like renewing their passports or answering emails. Genius! A party can be productive as well as fun. There are those who hate parties, or who believe that the number of get-togethers that issue from the standard occasions are more than plenty. To them I say: Fine, but even thinking about the little things you might celebrate is a satisfying gratitude exercise. What are the good things that are going unacknowledged in your life? Where are you limiting or postponing delight unnecessarily? I recently told a friend that I could think of nothing more luxurious and blissfully absurd than a seafood tower. 'Well, your birthday just passed, but next year?' he said. Ha! As if I'm going to wait a year to have a seafood tower. Yes, it's expensive, but I did just make a doctor's appointment that I'd been putting off since February, and that seems ample reason to assemble a group of friends, order up a tower and celebrate.

Taylor Rooks Secretly Getting Married Leaves X Hilariously Heartbroken & Crashing Out
Source: Aaron M. Sprecher / Getty The men of social media have collectively fallen to their knees because —sorry to say it— a woman they never had a chance with is officially off the market. Sports reporter Taylor Rooks announced Wednesday night that she recently got married, taking to Instagram to drop a photo carousel of the night's events. 'What a night. This is love,' she captioned the post alongside the ring emoji and tagged everyone that helped the day come together— including her photographer, makeup artist, and stylist. The photos showcased the ceremony, including shots with family, friends, and, given the nature of her job in sports media, several stars were in attendance. Guests included Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagle Saquon Barkley, rapper Jack Harlow, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, Lala, Coco Jones, Ella Mai, Donovan Mitchell, and Fanatics CEO and founder Michael Rubin. As public a gig as Rooks has, she's managed to keep her personal life under wraps, and that includes not tagging her new husband, and in fact, the only reason we know his name is because the wedding's menu is included in the post, and it reads 'Taylor & Shane.' Congratulations are also in order for a major change in Rooks' professional life after holding jobs for TNT and Thursday Night Football . Now, she's moving on up as the new host for Prime Video's NBA coverage once Amazon's media rights deal kicks off with the league ahead of the 2025-26 season, and she's got some certified veterans in Dirk Nowitzki and Blake Griffin to help her out. 'I'm thrilled to continue to grow my role at Prime Video and help shape their NBA coverage from the ground up,' Rooks said in a statement. 'With the addition of legends like Dirk and Blake, we're not just building a show, we are crafting an experience that will be entertaining and truly special for basketball fans. This is a career milestone for me, and I'm incredibly excited to share my love and passion for this game with NBA fans all over the world.' Rooks is one of the most beloved sports reporters, with social media constantly drooling over her and even a running joke among athletes making nearly impossible claims about their talent in her presence, like a young Jaylen Brown telling her he'd have five championships by the time he's 28. Social media is not only shocked that Rooks is cuffed, but she kept her relationship status private for this long, so they're straight-up heartbroken. See the crash out happening currently below.
