Bold & Beautiful Preview: Luna's Armed and Aiming For Steffy! Will She Kill Her New Dad's Wife?
Fortunately, Sheila is a whole new person, right? She's exorcised her demons thanks to the love of a good decent man. But look closely at the scene in which this proposition was put forth, and you'll see a glimmer of the old Sheila. One who, if only for a split second, thought, 'Life would be easier without Steffy!'

The Life and Crimes Bold & Beautiful's Luna Nozawa
Although Sheila is determined to prevent her grandchild from spiraling out of control, the fact that Luna has already killed two men might indicate it's too late. And as the scenes for this week indicate, Luna is about to run out and get herself a gun.
Now, do any of us really think for a second that the soap would let the double murderess make it a threefer by rubbing out Steffy? Certainly not. She will remain front and center until the day that Jacqueline MacInnes Wood wants to exit stage left a la Susan Flannery, for whose indomitable character the younger woman is named.
But Steffy will need to vanish from the canvas for a hot minute so her portrayer can give birth to her and hubby Elan Ruspoli's fifth child. With her due date rapidly approaching, it's a safe bet that Luna's latest descent into madness will play a role in Steffy's upcoming departure. The real question is exactly how things will play out over the next few weeks. And as you might guess, we have thoughts on that!
Luna kidnaps Steffy. And why not? She's done it before, drugging Steffy and leaving her locked in a cage in a building that was scheduled for demolition. This possibility gives Sheila a chance to discover what her granddaughter has done and actually behave in a sane, rational manner for a change. (She's even advising Luna to steer clear of Steffy.) Sheila could take over her daughter-in-law's care, whereas Luna was going to leave her to starve. So by the time the prisoner escaped — or was set free by Sheila — Steffy would begrudgingly feel indebted to her monster-in-law. Luna might be sent straight back to the slammer, but Granny might end up in those Forrester-Finnegan family photos after all!
Luna kills Steffy. That is, she 'kills' Steffy. Luna thinks that she's removed the one obstacle to a relationship with Finn, maybe by running her stepmother off the road (like Maw May did Li). Luna delights in 'being there' for Finn in his hour of need and even suggesting that Sheila should rejoice: This is her big chance to bond with him, too! Little do either of them know that an amnesiac Steffy has washed up on the beach and embarked on a friendship with a sexy surfer (maybe played by Days of Our Lives' Greg Vaughan, ex-Eric). By the time Steffy discovers her true identity, maybe she's caught feelings for the new guy and returns home not only determined to get Luna sent up the river but forget the handsome stranger who accidentally touched her heart.
Luna's determination to get all up-close and personal with Finn could drive Steffy to say, 'See ya!' She's done it before, after all. When the going gets too rough, she gets going, if only to regroup and come back stronger than ever. (Right, Sheila?) But that would be the least dramatic of the options. Which one do you think the show will go with? Sound off in the comments below after checking out the new photo gallery below; it's a !

Blind models work the runway at fashion show for the visually impaired
Brenda Nicholson waited in the Nordstrom fitting room, listening intently as the staff described the colors, textures and cut of the outfits hanging on a rack. She typically gravitates toward clothing with pops of color, but this time Nicholson selected a gold, mesh-embroidered dress that cut down to her ankles. She chose the outfit based on the staff's vivid description and the way it felt when she touched the material. When a partially blind model's eyes can't help, she must rely on her other senses — touch and hearing, in this case — to help ready her for the runway. Nicholson was one of 10 visually impaired models who walked in the Beautiful Lives Fashion Show earlier this month at the CD Peacock Mansion in Oak Brook. The inaugural event celebrated the idea that everyone can enjoy clothing — even if they experience it in a different way than most. 'Good fashion feels like the textures that send tingling sensations through your fingers,' said Beautiful Lives Project co-founder Bryce Weiler, who has been blind since birth. 'Textures mean something.' The show's models were students at the Chicago-based Illinois Center of Rehabilitation and Education-Wood, which offers vocational and life skills training for blind and visually impaired adults. Students can receive instruction on everything from cooking and computers to reading braille and crossing eight-lane streets. The event gave many participants their first exposure to modeling — something several said they had never considered. 'Is the runway ready for me?' model Monty Rogers, who lost his sight more than three years ago, asked his fellow models. Rogers said he has always had a sense of style. Prior to selecting his runway outfit, he wore a patterned kilt with 'pride colors' and knee-high socks. A former telephone engineer and photographer, Rogers motioned to his outfit: 'I still have aesthetics,' he said. Rogers, who feels almost all his clothes before buying, selected jeans and a striped, navy blue sweater with a soft jacket. The sweater's collar, lifted and distinct from the sweater's main material, framed his neck, which was accessorized with a thin chain. 'I'm blind as hell and I'm still a fashionista,' he said. In a 'vacation vibe' salmon shirt with khaki pants, Lawrence Lacy made his runway debut alongside experienced model Jennifer Cruz, the reigning Mrs. Illinois International 2025. Moments before walking, Lacy, who's blind, gave Cruz tips on one aspect of runway modeling that she had never encountered: how to be his guide. On a daily basis, Lacy said he uses the application 'Be My Eyes,' to assist in planning outfits. The app helps users who are blind or have low vision by providing visual descriptions of daily tasks such as navigating unfamiliar surroundings and explaining the color of an object. From his clothing needs, Lacy uses the 'Be My Eyes' to match outfits to a hanger, including specifics, 'like the color (patches) on his socks,' he said. Prior to the show, runway walkers filled out surveys, describing the styles, textures, feelings and colors they wanted to showcase most. The show's organizer, 16–year-old Aria Holtzman, then worked with the Nordstrom staff to select outfits that matched the model's personal style. 'A lot of models wanted patterns,' Holtzman said. Holtzman also accessorized the outfits with shoes and jewelry, borrowed from CD Peacock, to complete the looks. The Hinsdale teen, who is beginning her junior year at Culver Academies in Indiana, came up with the idea for the show after attending a summer camp at Vogue's New York office. She came home inspired to make fashion accessible for everyone regardless of their abilities or medical conditions. With the support of her father — CD Peacock Chairman Steven Holtzman — she teamed up with Weiler and the Beautiful Lives Project. Along with Beautiful Lives Project co-founders Weiler and Michael Gudino, Holtzman worked with CD Peacock interior designers to make sure the event space resembled a runway and was clear of obstacles that could prove difficult for models and spectators as they moved around the mansion's first floor. She also ensured the 6-foot-wide runway was wide enough for both the models and their escorts. With just 39 days to put on the show, Holtzman wrote the script and served as the evening's emcee. She also encouraged the models to make their own personalized introductions before they headed down the runway. After Holtzman introduced Lacy, he took the microphone and offered a short message of appreciation. He thanked the ICRE-W program and the Beautiful Lives Project for 'transforming me into the person you see before you.' 'Just know that anything that you love, that gets a little help, you can be a part of,' he told the audience. Rogers, during his runway walk, sang a rendition of 'Feeling Good' to the spectators' delight. 'Monty lives his life knowing that the only thing he can't do is see, ' Holtzman told the audience. But Roger wasn't the only model with a talent to display. Nicholson, who lives in downstate Bellview, was the night's last model, concluding her walk with a dance to Rebirth Brass Band's 'Do Whatcha Wanna.' Before her stepping onto the runway, organizers reminded her of the song's six-minute duration, 'I can do it,' she said without hesitation. Nicholson substituted her white cane for a translucent umbrella as the music played. The audience rhythmically clapped to keep the beat. Although the music was cut off by applause before the full song could end, Nicholson said she 'was born dancing to this.' She could do it in her sleep, she said. The models kept their Nordstrom clothing, which had been purchased for them by the Holtzman family. Although this is the first fashion show the Beautiful Lives Project participated in, Weiler said he hopes for other opportunities like it. 'We are surrounded by people who want to help (others) live out their dreams,' he said. 'To help you to find employment, and to say that there are no barriers that can hold someone back with a disability.'

Daily Horoscope for August 16, 2025
General Daily Insight for August 16, 2025 A spicy vibe could be a lot of fun today. The fluctuating Moon moves into inquisitive Gemini at 12:01 pm EDT, pulling our attention in unexpected directions. The element of surprise is likely to intensify once Luna conjoins chaotic Uranus. Still, we can end up with more than simply disorder for the sake of disorder. When the Moon trines action-oriented Mars, we'll have the option to channel our explorations toward productive outlets. Thinking outside the box may provide just the reboot we need! Aries March 21 – April 19 Impulsively striking up a conversation with someone you encounter today could be rewarding. You won't necessarily be able to control how things unfold once you start the ball rolling. As the candid Moon in your communication sector aligns with independent Mars in your relationship zone, your companion may have a potent mind of their own. Any preconceived ideas you have for the future of your bond will need to contend with theirs! If you're open to that, you might wind up with a worthy foil. Taurus April 20 – May 20 You may soon have an opportunity to find out how a change in your finances would alter the rhythms of your daily life. It might not change things as much as you'd think! While the volatile Moon in your resource zone harmonizes with driven Mars in your productive 6th house, you're probably deeply committed to staying whatever course you're on. Having more or less money could affect some of the options available to you, but don't rush to make decisions before you must. Gemini May 21 – June 20 Expressing yourself without inhibition is today's main game. As the melodramatic Moon meets wild Uranus in your sign, you might be seen as unstable by some of the people around you. However, you probably won't get in TOO much trouble. There's likely a recognition, potentially unspoken, that you're saying something true (and something that many secretly agree with). To that end, remember that it's not all about you — set an example for the liberation of others instead of focusing exclusively on your interests. Cancer June 21 – July 22 Something exciting could currently be going on behind the scenes in your world. As the passionate Moon conjoins electric Uranus in your 12th House of Secrets, there's a lot of energy around information that's probably supposed to stay private. This might make it hard for you to maintain secrecy to the extent that it's needed. Avoid putting yourself in an environment where you'll be tempted to spill — proactively retreat to your home or another secluded place where you won't encounter a potential audience. Leo July 23 – August 22 Shaking up your social life might be both fun and helpful — especially if you feel like your regular friend group's habits have grown a little stale over time. As the observant Moon in your 11th House of Community supports confident Mars in your communication zone, you can probably get somewhere by raising your grievances. You simply have to supply an idea for what you'd prefer to see instead. It's possible that others are equally frustrated but less sure of what to do about it. Virgo August 23 – September 22 Making more money might now be a compelling concern for you. This motive is simple, but it could be strong enough to drive you to do something you'd usually find uncomfortable. As the visible Moon conjoins revolutionary Uranus in your 10th House of Reputation, there's a chance that putting yourself out there with a controversial activity or viewpoint would be the most direct route to achieving your material aims. If nothing else, surviving the effort should at least increase your self-confidence! Libra September 23 – October 22 You're currently equipped to serve as a confident advocate for your beliefs. You might also be one who shakes up everyone's preconceived notions. As the intimate Moon meets rebellious Uranus in your ideological 9th house, your viewpoint may be more revolutionary than others would expect from merely looking at you. This is potentially a reality check that your audience needs. Emphasizing your ability to live an ordinary life in spite of holding a controversial or unusual opinion could get them thinking. Scorpio October 23 – November 21 Taking a relationship to a deeper level is an option at this time. It's normal to be a little scared about revealing personal information to a companion. You might find the process more bearable if you have a clear idea of your limits. As the fluid Moon in your 8th House of Intimacy checks in with protective Mars in your secrecy sector, you can still choose to keep some things private. Having boundaries doesn't mean you don't love the other person enough! Sagittarius November 22 – December 21 A person you're involved with could seem frustratingly disruptive right now. You may feel like they're impulsively jerking you around for no reason. As the moody Moon in your partnership sector connects with incisive Mars in your community zone, you'll potentially benefit from asking someone outside the situation for advice. You won't necessarily be told what you want to hear, but you can gain valuable insights. Relationship dynamics are often complex, and you might not see your part clearly from your vantage point. Capricorn December 22 – January 19 Changing up your present workflow could help you reach your goals more quickly. Although you may hope to have your new process fully planned out before you try it, that won't necessarily be possible. Sure, it won't hurt to sketch out what you can. Whatever you do, while the spontaneous Moon unites with brilliant Uranus in your grounded 6th house, you might reach a point of needing to just jump in. Trust your body's wisdom — some things are best learned by doing! Aquarius January 20 – February 18 Your urge to prioritize pleasure could unsettle you today. Remind yourself that fun doesn't have to be shallow! While the impulsive Moon in your playful 5th house engages with determined Mars in your 9th House of Higher Education, your instinctive curiosity might lead you toward a subject that you'll then want to study in depth. Don't focus too much on goals at this point — let things unfold naturally. You can always make notes along the way regarding future applications for what you're learning. Pisces February 19 – March 20 Identifying what you truly need to feel secure may be crucial now. While the delicate Moon meets unstable Uranus in your domestic sector, you might not be able to have everything on your wish list. However, you can probably have what you want most — if you prioritize it. Joining forces with another person could allow you to do more with less. Although that would likely require you to sacrifice a certain amount of privacy and independence, perhaps you'd be happy enough with the trade-off.

The Pixie-and-Bangs Combo Is the Cool-Girl Cut That's Back for 2025
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Ever since Emma Stone stepped onto the Golden Globes red carpet with a pixie cut, it's clear this hairstyle is poised to dominate 2025. From choppy pixies to the slightly longer pixie bob, if you're ready for a bold transformation—or want to refresh an existing chop—there's a look here for you. One of the most striking takes on the trend? The pixie cut with bangs. Bangs have long been a go-to for fashion insiders, calling to mind the iconic styles of Brigitte Bardot, Jane Birkin, and Ronnie Spector. Pair them with a daring pixie, and get ready to turn heads. 'In my eyes, all pixie haircuts have bangs—it just depends on how short the bang is and how they're styled,' says hairstylist and BaByliss ambassador Syd Hayes, who has previously cut the hair of Renée Zellweger and Iris Law (aka the modern-day pixie-cut icon). On Law's look, Hayes adds: 'I regularly cut it, but we switch up the shape and play with the texture to create different styles—and, mostly, to have fun!' It might seem like this is a haircut best suited for angular bone structures, but it's really about your personal style—and how comfortable you feel with an ultra-short length. A skilled hairstylist will customize the cut to highlight your features and guide you through what you love (and don't love) about your face, your fashion sensibility, and how much time you're willing to spend on daily styling. Hayes recommends drying your hair using a 'wrap' technique with a tool like the BaByliss Nano Titanium. 'Dry your hair by pushing it around the shape of the head in both directions, wrapping it around to create a natural bend at the ends,' he explains. He adds: 'I also love texture sprays like Sam McKnight's Cool Girl—they help add a matte finish and dry texture to the hair. A good matte wax can also provide hold.' If you prefer a heat-free option, Grace Newton-Hedges at Hershesons salon recommends using a curling cream for wavy or curly hair to 'define natural movement and eliminate frizz.' For straight or fine hair, try a salt spray to build texture. 'If you have a difficult fringe with a cowlick, I recommend roughly drying it with a hairdryer while focusing on pulling the cowlick down,' Newton-Hedges advises. 'I also love using a razor on short hair,' he says. 'It softens the ends and gives the cut an irregular, more lived-in shape.' Newton-Hedges agrees: 'Even half an inch can completely transform the haircut—but that's also the fun of short hair. You can switch up the style often, whether that means leaning into a longer pixie or going full micro, like Emma Watson circa 2010.' Edie Campbell's blonde hair with dark roots and straight, long bangs adds an edgy contrast to her otherwise romantic makeup. Iris Law's clean, platinum-blonde pixie cut channels a minimalist, '90s vibe that feels effortlessly cool. Taylor Russell's take on the style features a sharp, graphic fringe and a deep side part.
