Jenna Ortega Makes a Fur Coat Look Exquisitely Goth in Sydney
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." Maybe it's just the blistering heat, but I find myself impatiently counting down the days until fall—and as we enter that transitional time of the year, nothing gets me more excited for the impending crisp weather quite like spooky movies or TV shows. Enter Wednesday. Fittingly, the first half of season two premiered earlier this month, and in the wake of its release, the cast has continued to promote the show with a fashion-filled global Doom Tour, leading up to the part two release on September 3. To wrap up the tour, the Wednesday crew traveled to Cockatoo Island in Sydney, Australia, this week, where star Jenna Ortega treated us to yet another winning press look styled by Enrique Melendez. Although Ortega continues to stick true to the Wednesday Addams aesthetic, her latest fit felt like a nod to another Addams family member—Cousin Itt—all thanks to her coat covered in long fur. The hirsute outerwear stemmed from the Valentino Resort 2026 collection, which was designed by Alessandro Michele, who recently took the post of creative director at the Italian luxury fashion house. Luckily for Ortega, it's been a lot cooler down under, and she looked all bundled up in her cropped coat, which featured thick, jet-black fur forming the base, with strands of white hair decorating the trim like icicles. (In case you haven't noticed, hair has been a recurring motif in Ortega's fashion these past few weeks.) In keeping with the gothic tones, Ortega layered the coat over a strappy black leather top and matching midi skirt. She completed her ensemble with gloves and the same lace-up leather boots from Miista that she wore to the New York City premiere of her show's latest season last week. I mean, if the wedge heel ain't broke, why change it? All throughout the promo for Wednesday season two, we've seen Ortega continue to push the boundaries of her fashion, and while we love to watch her mystery series, her red-carpet style has proven to be just as thrilling. Thank goodness the show's already been renewed for season three.

It's a royal move.

The royal couple moved to their current Adelaide Cottage home in Berkshire in 2022 to be close to their children's Lambrook School.

'However, over the last few years while they have lived at Adelaide Cottage there have been some really difficult times.' 'Moving gives them an opportunity for a fresh start and a new chapter; an opportunity to leave some of the more unhappy memories behind,' the source added. Unlike Adelaide Cottage, William and Kate are said to see the move to Forest Lodge as a 'long-term' move into their 'forever home.' 10 The entrance hall of Forest Lodge.

William and Kate were living at Adelaide Cottage, which is not far from Windsor Castle, when the princess was diagnosed with cancer last year. 'In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful,' Kate announced in March 2024.

'The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family,' Kate said Sept. 9. 'Life as you know it can change in an instant, and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.' 'The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you,' she added. 10 Prince William and Princess Kate with their three kids on the Buckingham Palace balcony during Trooping the Colour on June 17, 2023.

'You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment. Treatment's done, then it's like, 'I can crack on, get back to normal,' but actually, the phase afterwards is really, really difficult,' she said in July. 'You're not necessarily under the clinical team any longer, but you're not able to function normally at home as you perhaps once used to,' William's wife added last month.

Turn Back To School Into Back To Cthulhu With These Books
Fall will be here sooner rather than later. For many parents and kids, that's new classes, new books and a shift away from the summer schedule. For many others that means spooky season, skeletal decor and the Cthulhu Mythos. With H.P. Lovecraft's birthday just around the corner it seemed like a good time to highlight some of the newest and neatest Cthulhu Muthos games and books. They include giftable deluxe editions, expansions to classic role playing games and brand new historical settings. Review copies were provided by the publishers for this article. The H.P. Lovecraft Experience Lovecraft's writings have gotten the deluxe treatment ove the years. The H.P. Lovecraft Experience collects the most vital works of fiction into a pair of hardbound books that neatly fit into a 3d box that has an unnatural squishiness to reinforce the horror. The accessories from the folks at The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society help this boxed set trult stand out. The softcover reading guide highlights ten of the most vital works to the Mythos. It provides discussion questions, historical context and quotes from the author discussing each of these important stories. For anyone looking for a crash course on the most important of the author's works this is a great place to start. For the collector, the book comes with a small handful of props that are the speciality of the HPLHS. They center on Miskatonic University, the fictional college that often serves as a home back for the investigators of the Mythos. With a steady hand and the included template, anyone that picks up this set can get a personalized degree from this august body they can hang up on the wall. Choose Cthulhu Fans looking for a way to experience Lovecraft's work from a unique perspective should Choose Cthulhu. This book series rewrites six classic stories into choose your own adventure style books. They are available in hard copies and PDF digital copies. Lovecraft's stories can go into some strange places. These books match that energy with all sorts of wild twists and turns including making the reader the bad guy. It's tempting to be the one that casts the deadly spell rather than fighting against the darkness. Call of Cthulhu The Sutra of Pale Leaves - Twin Suns Rising One of the things that makes the Mythos fascinating is its timelessness. The Old Ones move through time and space humans can't comprehend. Investigators encounter them at multiple times in human history. While it pains me to consider the 1980s a historical era since I was alive during them, The Sutra of Pale Leaves - Twin Suns Rising highights this flexibility by setting three cases in an unusual era. Most Call of Cthulhu campaigns are set during the 1920s or in the modern day, This one pits the players against the unspeakable Hastur in Japan during the 1980s. Is Hastur bringing Carcosa to our world or our world to it? That's what the players must discover and prevent during the course of the campaign. An upcoming volume, Carcosa Manifest, expands the story with more mysteries, monsters and Mythos. Cohors Cthulhu Cohors Cthulhu takes the battle against the Mythos to the ancient world. Players find themselves fighting side by side with Roman soldiers against monsters, cultist and other threats to the civilized world. They also seek out ancient powerful relics to keep out of evil hands. The game is set in the same world as Achtung Cthulhu, an alternate World War II setting. Publisher Modiphius offers a full selection of accessories like minatures and adventures for both games. Cohors Cthulhu offers historical inspiration for those fans that want a little Spartacus intrigue or Troy action mixed in with their investigations. Doom Guard One of the most compelling aspects of most Mythos games is the struggle against the ancient beings. For the most part it's regular people, maybe armed with a spell or two, doing their best to take down god like beings. What would happen if the Avengers got the call to face off against Cthulhu?Doom Guard, currently funding on Kickstarer, pits players in a board game against these unkowable entities. The big heroes and villains of the setting have put aside their differences to stop Cthulhu and the Old Ones from destroying their world. It's a co-operative board game where everyone wins together or the world ends.
