'But… why… does she suddenly have a transatlantic accent…?' one social media critic wrote, while a second chimed in: 'So glad the comment section is all on the same page. It's like when Madonna turned British.'
Another person exclaimed, 'She literally just invented a new voice I'm so confused.'

Many were confused due to Agron's upbringing, with someone sharing, 'Huh? She's from San Antonio. What is this accent?'
Some even compared Agron to Hilaria Baldwin, who despite growing up in Boston, Massachusetts, sometimes sports a Spanish accent.
'Babe wake up, there's a new Hilaria,' one user said, while a second said, 'It's giving Hilaria,' and a third critic commented, 'Ah yes, I believe this is a graduate from the Hilaria school of acting.'

But some came to her defense, explaining that her boyfriend hails from across the pond.
'Her partner has a London accent,' they wrote, 'so naturally she picks up some of that transatlantic tone. It's adorable.' Another person wrote: 'It's very normal to form an accent of the place you live! People need to calm down.'
The actress and Belgian painter Harold Ancart have been together since 2022.

Agron was best known for playing the mean queen bee at William McKinley High School, who joined Glee club to keep an eye on her football player boyfriend Finn Hudson, (Cory Monteith). But she soon found out he took a liking to the music group's star, Rachel Berry (Lea Michele).
The show faced tragedy in real life, after the series' star Monteith died of an accidental drug overdose before Season 5. Then, in 2018, Mark Salling (who portrayed football player Puck) died by suicide. Two years later, Naya Rivera (cheerleader Santana Lopez) drowned in a lake accident.
Agron, meanwhile, has yet to address backlash on her change of voice.
Baldwin, 41, has fired back at her critics, defending her accent on her TLC reality show 'The Baldwins,' which premiered in February.

'I love English, I also love Spanish,' she explained on camera. 'And when I mix the two, that doesn't make me inauthentic, it makes me normal.'
'I'd be lying if I said it didn't make me sad and hurt and put me in dark places,' Baldwin continued, 'but my family, my friends, my community are the [people] who speak multiple languages, who have belonging in multiple places, and realize that we are a mix … that's gonna have an impact in how we sound.'
She added, 'That's normal. That's called being human.'

Over the years, she's been called out for her accent changing from English to Spanish.
In 2020, a tweet from Leni Brisco read: 'You have to admire Hilaria Baldwin's commitment to her decadelong grift where she impersonates a Spanish person.'

Baldwin then took to Instagram to respond to the harsh criticism.
'There's been some questions about where I'm born, I'm born in Boston,' she explained. 'I spent some of my childhood in Boston, some of my childhood in Spain, my family, my brother, my parents, my nephew, everybody is over there in Spain now, I'm here.'

A former classmate of Baldwin's then came forward, tweeting: 'I went to high school with her. Genuinely lovely person, I recall, but fully a white girl from Cambridge.'

A second chimed in: 'I went to high school with her. She was perfectly nice and serious about ballroom dancing. Her name was indeed Hillary Hayward-Thomas and she did not have her current accent.'

I'm a 52-year-old fashion influencer. 6 fashion tips women over 40 should know
Christin Bryant has earned more than a million followers on social media. She's a go-to for women who want to incorporate trends into their wardrobe — but don't know how. Christin Bryant knows a thing or two about dressing well at any age. The former marketing executive didn't always plan to become a fashion influencer. Ten years ago, before she created her Instagram account, she was creating her own jewelry that she'd sell on Etsy. Rather than display her bracelets and necklaces against a plain white background, the Edmontonian began styling outfits as inspiration for how to wear her pieces day-to-day. That practical approach became the underpinning of Bryant's fashion philosophy. Today, she has more than a million social media followers who are primarily women within the 30 to 45 age range. They look to her for tips on how to style existing wardrobe pieces, invest in elevated staples and more. Bryant's love of fashion resonates with women who want to maximize their wardrobe and look good doing it. "I like to look current without looking like I follow every single trend," she explained. "And I like things that look expensive and polished, but aren't necessarily that." Recently, Bryant asked her followers to describe their biggest over-40 fashion issues. Many replies included how to dress to camouflage certain parts of the body (midsection, upper arms), how to adopt trends without looking like you're trying to be a teenager and how to stay cool in the summer without showing too much skin. "As we get older, we naturally have a bit more confidence," Bryant said. "Lean into the confidence that comes with age and caring less what others think, because if you feel confident in your outfit and you are confident overall, then nobody's going to remember that maybe your knees are a little wrinkly." Here are Bryant's best fashion tips for dressing when you're over 40. Dress for the body you have Bryant doesn't believe that age should determine what a person wears, but she does believe in dressing for "the body you have right now, and not the body that you used to have — or that you think you may achieve again in the future." Items you used to wear may not feel comfortable anymore, including undergarments. "The older we get, having good quality undergarments can make a big difference," Bryant said. And, a quality shapewear can also help you feel more confident, depending on the garment. "If you're comfortable with your outfit, and it aligns with your personality and where you are in life, you can feel better in the clothes that you wear," she added. Don't get hung up on sizing Trying on clothes can be a frustrating experience, but Bryant hopes a simple shift in mindset will help make your shopping experience easier. "Remember that nobody sees the size number on the tag," she said. "Stores are very inconsistent with sizing, so try several sizes." Finding the best fit should be top of mind. "If it fits you well, then it shouldn't matter." Invest in classic pieces Consider spending more on quality fashion staples that you'll wear again and again, like comfortable shoes, well-made jeans or a nice linen shirt. "As we get older, we maybe have a little bit more disposable income," she said. "Spend time doing some research and find items that really speak to you — these can become cornerstones you can build outfits around, whether it's an accessory or a base piece." Investing in classic accessories — like a watch, a piece of jewelry, or a nice bag — that you can wear with every outfit can become your signature look. Opt for natural fibres — especially in the summer If you're someone experiencing hot flashes or simply run hot, you might want to avoid wearing synthetic fabrics like polyester. That's where natural fibres, such as linen, cotton, or bamboo come into play. "Linen is amazing. In the summer you could wear long linen pants and be just as cool as if you wore short-shorts," she said. Choose trends that align with your style Incorporating a few trends into your wardrobe is a great way to keep your look current, but wearing too many can come across as inauthentic. "If you incorporate all the trends at once, then you might look like you're uncomfortable with your age and trying hard to look younger," she said. Instead, Bryant advises choosing trends carefully, sticking only to the ones that align with your personal style. A low-stakes way to incorporate trending colours, textures or silhouettes is sporting some well-chosen accessories. Follow content creators for inspiration If you do most of your shopping online, Bryant suggests following somebody whose style, size and colouring aligns closely to what you like so you can use their fashion as a resource. You might have to follow multiple influencers, but it helps to understand what might work for your body type, see styling ideas that works for your climate, or get inspiration that feels achievable and relevant to your personal style. 8 pieces Bryant recommends for summer:

Amy Schumer undergoes back surgery for longstanding injury, shares recovery update on social media
Amy Schumer is on the mend following surgery. Schumer, 44, stood proudly with a walker while at home Saturday in a snap shared with her millions of Instagram followers. The "Trainwreck" actress confessed on social media that she underwent back surgery and was expecting a "short recovery" process. Schumer sported a pair of pink sweats with a red Catskill mountains sweatshirt and a pair of sturdy tennis shoes as she posed for a photo by a staircase. "Since my surfing injury back in the day my L5 has been killing me," Schumer captioned the post. "Today I got a laminectomy! It's a short recovery and when I'm feeling better I will buy a bra!" Hundreds of friends and fans cheered Schumer on, and sent well-wishes for speedy healing. "Feel better soon my love," Kathy Hilton wrote, while country singer Elle King commented, "Surgery chic le freak." Debra Messing wrote, "Oh s--t ….. heal fast," and Bethanny Frankel exclaimed, "OH NO." Supermodel Helena Christensen sent a positive affirmation and told Schumer, "The Catskills has never looked better! Heal well and fast." Schumer's back surgery comes months after the "Kinda Pregnant" star began using a new weight loss medication. Earlier this year, Schumer praised the effects of Mounjaro (also known as tirzepatide) after experiencing the negative effects of Ozempic. "I wanted to share and keep it 100 with you, that years ago – and yes, this is completely unsafe to be driving and making a video – years ago, three years ago, I tried WeGovy and I was like puking," Schumer said in the clip captured while she was behind the wheel. "I couldn't handle it. I don't know if they've changed the formula or whatever… but anyway, I went on this telehealth meeting with MidiHealth, and it was cheap. I wanted to try it myself, cause I wanted to recommend it to my friends who are like nurses and teachers." In addition to the injectable medication, which is primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes, the "Snatched" star has a new routine which includes hormones. "They put me on estrogen and progesterone because I realized I was in perimenopause and my symptoms of being in perimenopause have disappeared," Schumer said. "My hair is fuller, my skin is better, I have more energy, I want to get down more if you know what I mean – I'm talking about sex." She added, "So that's been great, Mounajro's been great… I'm having a really good experience with it and I wanted to keep it real with you about that." Schumer told Howard Stern earlier this year that she was forced to quit Ozempic due to terrible side effects. "I have this gene – GDF15 – which makes you extremely prone to nausea which is why I was so sick during my pregnancy. So, I tried Ozempic almost three years ago and I was like bedridden, I was vomiting and then you have no energy but other people take it and they're all good," she said on "The Howard Stern Show."
