The Hamptons Look Everyone's Shopping: Hannah Berner's Lululemon Picks
To commemorate a decade of the beloved legging, the brand brought its signature style to the Hamptons with the Summer Club—a chic seasonal pop-up hosted in Water Mill from June 27 through July 6. The brand transformed a private house into a full-on wellness retreat, complete with a pool, tennis courts, daily workout classes, and a sprawling lawn for yoga and Pilates. Guests sign up for luxe, celebrity-led sessions, enjoy refreshments, and move through curated workouts in coordinated Lululemon sets as far as the eye can see.

The standout hosts? Olympic champion Suni Lee, celebrity trainer Dani Coleman (yes, Jennifer Aniston's go-to), and none other than Hannah Berner—the quick-witted comedian, bestselling author, podcast powerhouse ( Giggly Squad , Berner Phone ), and now, Lululemon's newest ambassador. While many know her for her viral punchlines and on-screen performances, few realize she's a former competitive tennis player. And when I say she's got game? Let's just say I walked off the court breathless—and thoroughly impressed.
I headed to the Summer Club to experience a tennis session with Berner firsthand, and to put Lululemon's latest Align collection through its paces. After the class, I caught up with her to talk about her lifelong love of tennis, how she styles Lululemon on and off the court, and the summer pieces topping her wishlist. Courtesy of lululemon
Hannah Berner at the Lululemon Summer Club. It's so exciting to see you as Lululemon's newest ambassador and the 'official Funpire' of their Tennis Club. What drew you to the brand, and what does this partnership mean to you at this moment in your career?
'Not to be annoying with puns, but this partnership feels like the perfect match,' Berner says. 'It's a dream to partner with Lululemon, given my background as a former athlete turned comedian. After my tennis career ended and I was working a desk job, I never thought I would be modeling activewear. It feels nostalgic and beautiful to be playing tennis again in Lululemon gear. I love the quality, performance, and playfulness of the brand.' You're leading a tennis lesson for the Lululemon Summer Club—what kind of energy should attendees expect from a Berner-style court session?
'I'm so excited to teach tennis at the Summer Club!' she exclaims. 'I come from a family of coaches, so I love teaching tennis to players of all levels. I'm going to be cracking jokes but also giving tons of tennis tips. My goal is that everyone leaves the court feeling more confident. I will also have my partner in crime, Madison Appel, teaching with me,' Berner adds. You were a competitive tennis player long before stepping into comedy. How does it feel to return to the court with Lululemon?
'It's a full-circle moment with cuter outfits. Tennis has really shaped me into the person I am today, and I firmly believe that I wouldn't be as successful in stand-up if I hadn't had a prior career in tennis. When I wear Lululemon, I feel nostalgic, and it reminds me of how much I love playing sports and how it helps me forget my problems.' What are your current go-to pieces for tennis, and how would you describe your personal style when you're on the court?
'It is so important to feel comfortable and confident on the court,' she declares. 'I like wearing classic colors like white, navy, green, and black. I don't always like to wear tight outfits, so I will always grab the Lightweight Tennis Crewneck T-Shirt with Align shorts. I also live in the Tennis Club layered Long-Sleeve T-Shirt. For playing matches, I look intimidating in the Pace Rival Skirt and Court Rival Tennis Jacket. The Bubble-Hem High-Rise Skirt is also very trendy.' Do you gravitate toward any specific Lululemon colors or collections?
'I'm in my Pool Party Blue era,' Berner admits. 'It suits my skin tone well, according to TikTok. I also love Legacy Green; it's very old money. I have also been wearing the Align Palazzo pant on stage because they're so comfortable, but they look like work pants. I'm also obsessed with flare pants right now.' Lululemon is known for combining performance and comfort. How does that philosophy play into your lifestyle, both on and off the court?
'If an outfit isn't comfortable, I don't care how cute it is; I'm not wearing it! I love that Lululemon combines performance and comfort. The brand doesn't take itself too seriously, and just like my comedy, it wants you to feel good.' Shop Hannah's Lululemon Staples Shop More Align
The refreshed line now includes leggings without a front seam, and honestly, I'm obsessed. The fit remains as flattering as ever—and yes, I have multiple colors lined up in my drawer. The signature fabric still feels like a second skin, but this time, it comes in Pool Party—a classic court-ready blue that I'll be wearing all summer long. Pair it with a chic visor and your comfiest sneakers, and suddenly, you're channeling country-club chic. Shop Lululemon Tennis Essentials

Why Did Paige DeSorbo Leave ‘Summer House'?
Fresh off her Las Culturistas Culture Award win for the Allison Williams Cool Girl Award, Bravo star Paige DeSorbo is revealing why she made the decision to leave Summer House after seven seasons on the reality show. For the better part of a decade, fans have tuned in to see Paige and her Summer House co-stars drive out to the Hamptons on summer weekends to party, drink, fight, and hook up—your classic reality TV drama. And viewers were devastated when, earlier this summer, Paige announced that season 9 would be her last. 'Like all good things (and some bad decisions), it's time for this chapter to close,' she wrote in part in an Instagram post announcing her decision, adding, 'You haven't seen the last of me, I promise.' At the time, it wasn't clear what exactly Paige would be doing instead of Summer House, but now we have a little bit of a clearer picture. 'When it came time to start thinking about the summer, I really just had a moment where I was like, 'Wait a minute, I can't go film a TV show,'' Paige said in an interview with Larry Crespo's Bravo by Gays podcast, explaining that she's simply too busy to add filming a reality show to her already very busy schedule. 'This past spring, I was like, 'I really need time off.' I don't physically think I could film Summer House.' The decision to leave Summer House did not come lightly and was made after 'months and months of thinking,' Paige said, though she did have a feeling that season 9 would be her last when she finished filming in 2024. 'I definitely felt different leaving last summer. There was something where I had this gut feeling where I was just like, 'This is probably the last time I'll ever leave this house,'' she recounted. Instead of spending the summer filming, Paige has spent the last few months promoting her sleepwear line Daphne, while co-hosting her podcast Giggly Squad and balancing other work commitments. And it sounds like she doesn't regret opting out of partying with the Summer House crew. 'I wouldn't have been able to come this summer and be truly authentic,' she told Bravo by Gays. 'I've worked so much this year. I don't want to go out on a Friday and Saturday night. It's not my vibe anymore.'

Vans X Ernest Push Boundaries with World's First Skateable Cardboard Shoe
COMMERCE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In a groundbreaking collaboration that brings innovation and nostalgia together, Vans and Ernest Packaging Solutions have unveiled the first-ever skateable shoe made out of cardboard. The project is the latest in the Ernest Cardboard Chaos series produced by Signal Productions and Liquid Agency, and pays homage to Vans' deep roots in skate culture, innovation and creative expression. Vans and Ernest make history with the first-ever skateable cardboard shoe: a wild tribute to creativity, collaboration, and skate culture. Share A Tribute to Skateboarding Legacy Since 1966, Vans has been the go-to shoe for skateboarders. In 1976, legendary skater Tony Alva began working directly with the brand to make shoes tough enough to handle the rigors of skating. In fact, his own skateboarding style inspired the now-iconic 'Off the Wall' tagline. Nearly five decades later, Alva has returned alongside Steve Van Doren, Vans' Unofficial Ambassador of Fun. Their mission? To build a fully wearable Vans skate shoe made of paper. Innovation Meets Imagination Ernest Packaging, known for creating the impossible with paper, engineered a durable and flexible version of Vans' iconic checkerboard pattern using their own cardboard materials. Once completed, Alva, Van Doren and skate legend Christian Hosoi traveled to the Vans factory to oversee the production of the shoes. The cardboard upper withstood every construction challenge, including the vulcanization process (275° heat and 20 PSI of pressure). The result? A fully formed skate shoe unlike the world had ever seen. The Shred Test Once constructed, the cardboard Vans were ready to hit pavement and the empty pools. Hosoi and Alva slid them on to hit their local skate spots, as did fellow legendary skater Omar Hassan. Then, Olympic skateboarder, X Games champ and all-around phenom Lizzie Armanto tested them on the halfpipe. The cardboard Vans verdict? Totally skateable. Signal's Dave Lee, host of Cardboard Chaos, stated, 'It all came together. We made a custom pair of cardboard Vans shoes with Steve Van Doren, with professional skateboarders, with all these amazing people and, I mean, there are just no words. Because it's just too much. It's too cool.' Cardboard Chaos Continues The project joins a growing list of mindblowing cardboard creations from the Ernest Cardboard Chaos series. It started back in 2014 when Ernest partnered with Signal Snowboards to create the first cardboard snowboard. This series went on to include a skateboard for Tony Hawk, a surfboard, a wakeboard and more. The one-of-a-kind Fender guitars, drum kit and Wurlitzer keyboard created for Cardboard Chaos inspired a spinoff. The in-studio music series with over 30 episodes, called Cardboard Sessions, features the paper instruments being played by the likes of The Dandy Warhols, Keanu Reeves with Dogstar and Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top, plus many other rock, gospel and jazz musicians. A Family Legacy of Creativity This daring project was fueled by the 'Why can't we?' spirit of both companies. Steve Van Doren and Tim Wilson, President of Ernest, continue the legacy of their fathers, who both built their businesses from the ground up. Together, Steve and Tim proudly show that creativity and courage definitely run in the family. 'Collaborating with Steve was a really special thing for me,' said Wilson. 'As a California kid myself, I know just how iconic the Vans shoes are. And the fact that we got to build one together was just awesome.' About Ernest Ernest is a family-owned packaging solutions company that creates wonderful, unconventional experiences for their clients. It's been that way since 1946 and it still stands to this day. They partner with their clients to make the impossible, possible. By saying no to the status quo, focusing on bringing smiles to faces and making the world a little more Ernest.

‘Pompeii: The New Dig: House of Treasures' Review: Luxury Unearthed on PBS
Archaeology is storytelling, and Pompeii—despite being buried under 19 feet of volcanic ash in A.D. 79—has become more and more of an open book. 'Pompeii: The New Dig: House of Treasures' is an addendum of sorts to last year's three-part 'New Dig' series, an hourlong update on recent findings in the ancient Roman city and a new chapter in a detective story whose evidence is 2,000 years old. The human impulse is to impose a narrative on what can't otherwise be explained, but the objects unearthed at Pompeii provide a virtual map to buried history. The most recent excavations, on what was a well-to-do avenue called Nola and involve a plot the size of 'two and a half Olympic swimming pools,' according to narrator Ria Lina, established the existence of a bakery, a laundry and an adjacent residence that by every indication was the home of a high-ranking Pompeiian, one who wasn't afraid to display his wealth through furnishings, décor and the maintenance of a private gymnasium. The participants in the dig, overseen by Gabriel Zuchtriegel, general director of the Pompeii Archeological Park, identified the homeowner as Aulus Rustius Verus, a Roman of wealth and prominence who even ran for public office—the equivalent of a campaign poster can be seen, carved into a stone wall.
