Emma Stone's New Whimsy Pixie Is the Chicest Way To Do A Short Haircut This Summer
If you're looking for pixie inspiration, Emma Stone debuted her pixie hair transformation on the Golden Globes red carpet in January and she has continuously delivered fresh new pixie inspo – thanks to her hairstylist Mara Roszak - with every appearance.
They're both clearly having fun in this pixie era, with Stone previously sporting a flapper-style pixie at the Oscars, teaming it with wispy bangs at the Louis Vuitton Cruise presentation in Paris and now, Stone is back with a whimsy pixie for the premiere of Eddington in Los Angeles.
Roszak's 'whimsy pixie' first appeared in Paris, where she described the look as having an 'airy and light' texture complete with delicate forehead-framing pieces. At the Eddington premiere, the style took on a softer, tousled finish with a fuller, wavy fringe.
The style borrows from the rulebook of the French bob: a lived-in, done-undone effect with gentle volume. It's an excellent demonstration of how to style your pixie cut as it continues to grow out and is an elevated summer-ready option for those with wavy or thicker hair, too. Roszak used products from her own haircare line, ROZ, to achieve Stone's look.
She reached for ROZ Evergreen (currently unavailable in the UK), a styling cream to define the silhouette of the pixie and add medium-hold to keep flyaways at bay and ROZ Air, a lightweight mist to create texture and add some body to the short haircut.
While the choppy pixie and undercut pixie has an edgy, offbeat appeal, this relaxed style brings a chic, nonchalant vibe to the red carpet (especially when styled in Stone's Louis Vuitton off-shoulder, flowing number - kudos to stylist Petra Flannery) and it'll also look equally fresh and polished by the pool and for summer evenings out. We'll be screenshotting it for the next trip to the salon.

Labrador Steals Pet Cam, Films Home Tour: 'Estate Agent in a Previous Life'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. In a viral TikTok video, a Labrador retriever got hold of his owner's pet cam after being left alone in the room, what he did next has left the internet in stitches. The hilarious clip, shared on Monday under the username @lana_2710w, shows the pup grabbing the pet cam as his owner leaves the room, holding it in his mouth as he goes filming around the house. After showing the kitchen in great detail, he heads out toward the garden, where he starts running to show how big green it is. "I will never get sick of this [video] Keep watching!" the poster writes in the caption. The video quickly went viral on social media, receiving over 157,700 views and 3,214 likes on the platform at the time of writing, and most users had the same thought. "He was an estate agent in a previous life. That was a lovely tour of your home and garden", said Clare Bell. Tinku wrote: "Let me just show you a tour around the house." Kart added: " are smart. He goes *damn, putting up phone for TikTok again. Ok ok, let me show you what I see, do you see it!? Do you see the sky, do you see the clouds? That is what I Labrador retrievers are known for being an active breed, who require lots of exercise and mental stimulation to thrive. If you are looking for more effortless dogs, there are many choices for you. Newsweek previously reported on a variety of sizes and types of pups, from compact toy breeds like Chihuahuas and Pomeranians to gentle giants such as bullmastiffs and Great Danes, that require relatively low levels of activity once they're fully grown. Many of these breeds, like bulldogs, French bulldogs, pugs, shih tzus, Pekingese, and Japanese chin, are well-suited to shorter walks and indoor play and are prone to overheating, so their activity should be adjusted accordingly. Others like basset hounds and dachshunds need only moderate, cautious exercise to maintain their health without stressing their bodies. Other breeds on the list include Tibetan mastiff, spinone Italiano, cavalier king Charles spniel, Chinese crested, and dogue de Bordeaux, among the most popular.

Book Review: 'High Season' is a twisty thriller about the murder of a teenage girl in paradise
Kate Bishop finds heart and poignancy at the center of her artfully crafted thriller, 'High Season,' setting it apart from other by-the-numbers beach reads. At the center of the story is Nina Drayton, who, 20 years ago at age 5, was the sole witness to the murder of her sister, Tamara, by Josie Jackson, the daughter of their family's summer housekeeper and her childhood babysitter. Nina was brought up to believe that her account of that wine-soaked night at her mother's French villa was the reason Josie was put away and justice served. After the case faces renewed interest from a true crime influencer, Nina begins to suspect that her story was faulty. At the same time, Josie returns to the scene of the crime searching for answers. 'High Season' has many moving parts — two timelines, five viewpoints in total — and it also manages to serve as an exploration of our true crime obsession. Bishop acknowledges the double-edged sword of armchair detecting: the interest brings attention to forgotten cases but also makes it impossible for anyone to move on from it under renewed scrutiny. The promise of justice is thinner than the promise of entertainment and gossip about a cast of suspects and victims, most of whom will never meet. The POV shifts feel natural rather than jarring, jagged pieces of a story. Bishop knows when it makes sense to see the world through one character, and then, in the next chapter, add a piece of the puzzle from a different character. It serves as a reminder that everyone has their own story of what they believed happened the night of the murder and their reasons for hiding their suspicions for 20 years. The most poignant parts of the novel are told by Tamara herself — Bishop could have easily made her victim another 'poor little rich girl' by just having other people's memories and judgements of her serve as her narrative. By giving Tamara her part of the story and making her a fleshed-out character, we feel the grief that comes with her death and the hole it's made for so many people. The novel also does a good job exploring how the glittering glamor of the Drayton family is out of reach for the working-class teenage girls in town, and the lengths they will go to try to fit in (or not) with the shiny elite. Josie's teenage best friend, Hannah, has a crucial arc about the dangers of trying to shape yourself into someone else's world at any cost. The treatment Hannah receives at the hands of Blake, Nina's older brother, is chilling and an accurate depiction of how some men treat women they feel are beneath them. The weak part of the novel is the climax of the truth coming out. It felt like an artificial set-up for a story that otherwise flowed along on the merits of Bishop's lyrical writing and the tense atmosphere she created. What might have been cathartic felt too much like spectacle and deprived the reader of the emotion and suspense of the rest of the book. ___

Louis Vuitton Beauty Is Finally Here — & We Tried Everything
Louis Vuitton has always been synonymous with fashion and travel accessories, and now, the iconic French maison is expanding its range of luxury goods (including a fragrance range that debuted in 2016) to bet big on beauty. Today marks a new chapter in the heritage brand's history with La Beauté Louis Vuitton, a debut collection of makeup that combines signature LV house codes. And behind it all? Iconic makeup artist Dame Pat McGrath, as Creative Director. 'Working backstage for over 20 years at Louis Vuitton fashion shows, I am thrilled to now play such a key role in the launch of La Beauté Louis Vuitton, which is the result of extraordinary craftsmanship, creativity, and innovation,' McGrath says via press release. The inaugural lineup includes lipstick, lip balm, and a curated array of eyeshadow palettes, all conceived as cosmetics, yes, but also objets d'art to be kept, refilled, and treasured for years to come. Let's start with LV Rouge lipstick. Available in 55 shades (a subtle nod to the Roman numerals LV) and two finishes (matte and satin), infused with lip-loving ingredients like shea butter and hyaluronic acid, plus waxes derived from rose, jasmine, and mimosa flowers. Each lipstick bullet is stamped with the iconic LV monogram, and features the signature monogram flower on the cap. Taking the sensorial experience to the next level, each lipstick is scented with a custom floral fragrance developed by house perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. As I swiped on the various shades, they felt like the equivalent of couture on my lips; the shades are dimensional and beautifully pigmented, and feel comfortable and effortless on lips. Monogram Rouge, a muted warm red that almost wears like a neutral, feels as effortlessly chic as French girl beauty always — and rather deceptively — appears. It doesn't feel makeup-y or lipstick-y, but rather like a luxury accessory that brings your entire look to life. Next, there's LV Baume — the most luxurious lip balm I have ever tried. Available in 10 shades (including clear), the hydrating formula adds a sheer tint that brings lips to life. (My favorite of the bunch: Monogram Touch, a sheer chocolate brown that echoes the unmistakable initials on the iconic LV canvas.) Like the lipsticks, the balms are also gently scented with a subtle raspberry-mint fragrance, and are easily refillable. Last, but not least, adorn your eyelids with the LV Ombres eyeshadow quads, which are available in eight distinct color stories. Ranging from luminous beige to lipstick-inspired (and surprisingly wearable) burgundy, the silky, pigmented shadows are gentle on the eyes, thanks to ingredients like plant-derived squalane and camelina flower oil extract. Best of all, the quads take the guesswork out of picking shades that work together in a single eye look. (These gorgeous palettes are also refillable, but note that each petal-shaped pan is magnetized individually and requires a bit of finesse to swap in and out.) The full collection drops August 25, so be sure to set those alarms if you want to own a piece of luxury beauty history. 'I've always said makeup is more than product: it's performance, obsession, and emotion,' McGrath says. 'This new chapter is about pushing craftsmanship into a new realm.'
