Joey King in Talks to Star in PRACTICAL MAGIC 2 Alongside Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman — GeekTyrant
Joey King ( The Act , Bullet Train , We Were the Lucky Ones ) is in talks to join the sequel Practical Magic 2 , which will feature returning stars Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman. If negotiations work out, King will reportedly be playing the daughter of Bullock's character.
Bullock and Kidman are reprising their roles as Sally and Gillian Owens, two sisters who descend from a long line of witches. In the original 1998 movie, the duo finds themselves fighting off a curse that kills the men they fall in love with.
Plot details for the second film haven't been revealed, though sources say the story is based on a later installment in Alice Hoffman's 'Practical Magic' book series.
Susanne Bier is directing the sequel from a screenplay by Akiva Goldsman, who co-wrote the first film. It's aiming to start production in London later this summer.
Practical Magic 2 will be released in theaters on Sept. 18, 2026.

Rihanna-Approved London Designer Supriya Lele on Her Collaboration With Mango
Worn by Rihanna, seen on the cover–and in the pages–of British Vogue (Yasmin Finney wore an azure minidress for the December 2022 issue), Supriya Lele's trajectory has reached far beyond her London studio. And after a hiatus from the London Fashion Week schedule, the British-Indian designer now has hit another milestone: a collaboration with Mango, launching 5 June. 'Hopefully this will be the beginning of a slow reintegration in whatever way feels right,' Lele tells Vogue of working with the Spanish retailer as the first partner of the Mango Collective, a platform 'dedicated to celebrating the creativity and innovation of niche designers.' The union will introduce a new customer to the Supriya universe and, in turn, project her namesake brand to a global audience–a worthy opportunity in this testing fashion landscape. Amounting pressure on Supriya and her London cohort has presented an array of impossibilities in recent years: 'It's so sad that we're in a position where everybody is having to skip out, step back,' she says of her London Fashion Week pause. It's no small feat to be an independent brand right now. 'I love making collections–that's why I love what I do,' she explains of returning to the process of building an idea into a full look. And the Mango collab followed the same tried-and-tested method she uses each season: starting with research and conjuring a direction, then fittings with a model and her stylist, Jane How. 'We have the same brain,' she says of How, who first loaned looks when Supriya was showing with the capital's renowned incubator, Fashion East. Amidst core archive silhouettes revived from previous seasons–including body-flossed waist cut-outs, swaddling silhouettes and sheer, conceal-reveal fabrications–Supriya was able to bring her longtime visions for shoes, bags and jewellery to life. She was in constant dialogue with Jane and her friends about what people would want to wear. 'I like every single piece. There's not a piece in there I don't like or that I wouldn't wear. I'd wear every single one,' she asserts. From London, they went to the Mango HQ in Barcelona, where they worked closely with the design team and created a commercial collection, while retaining Supriya's unique 'identity and aesthetic.' 'Everything that I've done has always been about the visual language and the way that it's presented–and that's so important to me,' she explains of the 'sensitivity' that the team had towards the finer details, such as swing tags and the size of the font inside the shoes. Despite the refined attention to detail, the overall journey was straightforward and decisions were made fast– something that Supriya credits to her adaptability as a brand founder. 'You're a manager, you're HR… I'm like, 'can I do my accounts on the bus?'' she laughs. 'Then there's a fancy dinner and I'm wondering… 'what am I going to wear?''. London-based designer, Supriya Lele. Courtesy of Mango Spain also provided the backdrop for the accompanying campaign. Supriya tapped Johnny Dufort (who just shot Billie Eilish for British Vogue's May 2025 cover) to capture the looks in both the studio and outdoors with a nighttime skyline in the background. (This is where the collection's title, 'A Summer Reverie' comes in.) 'It's so fresh and visually arresting,' she says.

Dua Lipa Kickstarts Her Mornings With These 2 Hero Supplements
Here at Vogue, we love a thought-out morning routine. Whether it's dry brushing to stimulate the lymphatic system (aka the body's internal filtration system) or swigging a shot of apple cider vinegar for blood sugar support, we're in. That's why Dua Lipa's recently revealed morning routine resonates with us so much. Sharing a video filmed in Munich before a show, Lipa broke down a day in her life—from Yoga first thing in the morning to the two small but powerful supplements she mixes in with her morning hydration. It starts as most of our days do, with a quick face wash and teeth brush, followed by slipping into some workout gear. Her exercise outfit of choice? A white stretchy two-piece. Clearly a fan of habit stacking, Lipa popped two rose gold-colored eye masks on, which, if our hunch is correct, are the Augustinus Bader The Eye Patches beloved by celebrities and beauty editors alike. Now for the wellness part. Before she pops off to a yoga class with her instructor Jessica, she adds two things to her water: Armra Colostrum's Immune Revival and LMNT's Recharge Electrolytes. After adding both sachets to two different bottles of water, she shakes them up and prepares for her workout. Between touring and non-stop travel, Lipa is clearly trying to support her immune system and energy levels. Immune Revival is a dose of bovine colostrum, a trendy supplement among the LA-wellness set, that can help to fight infection and promote good gut health. Similarly, electrolytes work to replace the minerals and vitamins that are naturally lost through sweat, exertion, and urine. Maintaining optimal levels can help with cognitive and muscular function, as well as hydration levels and fatigue. The need for a robust supplement routine is clear as Lipa progresses through the rest of her day. There are vocal and dance warm-up sessions, pre-show glam, meeting her fans, and then the main event: A riveting show. As for her nighttime routine, it's about repairing and replenishing her nervous system and skin overnight: Pure Encapsulations Magnesium Glycinate, Rejuvenated H30 Night Repair, and Gaviscon. Truly, a girl after our own heart.

How Chelsea won the race for Liam Delap ahead of Premier League and European rivals
He was the man that half of the Premier League wanted, and some beyond that too. Manchester City had first refusal. Manchester United chased him hard. Everton wanted him to lead what they hoped would be a revived club at a new stadium. Newcastle United were looking for a new striker. Nottingham Forest made a strong play. From Europe, Juventus, AC Milan and Bayern Munich all had an interest. Advertisement But Liam Delap, one of the hottest properties of the summer, is now a Chelsea player, and is the first significant domino to fall in what is shaping up to be a frantic bunfight for forward talent at the top end of the Premier League. Chelsea have got themselves a potentially huge bargain: they have paid the £30million ($40.5m) relegation release clause fee that was inserted into Delap's contract when he joined Ipswich from Manchester City last summer. Ipswich will receive £20m of that upfront and also a sell-on percentage from a future move. When you consider that, for most of the other forwards on the market, the bidding will start at double that, you can understand why Chelsea are so delighted with their business. Despite the number of teams involved in the race, people at Ipswich — who, like all of those spoken to for this article by The Athletic, asked to be kept anonymous in order to protect relationships — believed that Delap was always likely to be headed to Chelsea. The Athletic first reported interest from Chelsea in Delap last year, and they first made contact with him in January, some time ahead of most other interested parties. The 'top tier' teams — which is to say, the teams that were most likely to sign him, including Chelsea, Newcastle and Manchester United — held meetings face-to-face, while those who were keen but considered further down the list spoke to him on Zoom. Although it has been pretty clear from around Christmas time that Delap would be leaving Ipswich, he has been described as a model professional: the fact that he won their players' player of the year award suggests that he hasn't caused any problems in the squad. But the Chelsea move wasn't the fait accompli that some thought, and he genuinely did not definitively make up his mind until last week, when some of the other contenders were told by Delap's camp that he was heading for Stamford Bridge. Given the status of the clubs who wanted Delap, Nottingham Forest may have seemed like an unlikely destination, even with their unexpectedly brilliant season, but they were a live option for a while. A move to the City Ground was presented as a sort of stepping-stone transfer, like a lower-key version of what Erling Haaland did at Red Bull Salzburg and then Borussia Dortmund: sign for a club at a slightly lower level than you could have with an achievable release clause in your contract, gain more experience and score some goals, then step up to a top club. Advertisement Manchester City had a buy-back clause of £40million inserted into the deal that took him to Ipswich last summer, but there was never any realistic prospect of them taking up that option, simply because they don't need him. Haaland has just returned to fitness and signed a contract until 2034 in January, while they spent £59m on Omar Marmoush in the winter transfer window. At United, he would have immediately been their starting centre-forward, identified as having the key characteristics that Ruben Amorim wants in a No 9. The approach was led by their technical director, Jason Wilcox, who knew Delap from City, where he was their academy director. There were some doubts over the fact he had similar characteristics and track record to Rasmus Hojlund, so was not a guarantee of success, but they did push hard to sign him, meeting him on May 19. United will now focus on other forward targets and Brentford's Bryan Mbeumo has now decided he wants to join them. Other names have also been considered, including Viktor Gyokeres and Victor Osimhen. Matheus Cunha's move from Wolves was confirmed on Sunday. The choice was always very much Delap's. The low release clause meant he was technically affordable to every club in the Premier League. He took his time to choose: even though the season has only just ended, it has been clear for months that he would be going somewhere, and he waited until he had heard a number of pitches. But for all the other interest, most strongly from United, Chelsea were always confident for a range of reasons. They have a good relationship with Ipswich, partly from last summer when Omari Hutchinson's loan was turned into a permanent move. The nature of the Delap deal, with Chelsea triggering his release clause, meant that there weren't exactly significant rounds of hard-nosed negotiations, but the relationship made the whole process much smoother. Ipswich are keen to sign young striker Marc Guiu on loan as a sort of replacement for Delap, but those are regarded as separate deals. Guiu's move is not done yet. Advertisement Delap already has some ties to key figures at Chelsea. Head coach Enzo Maresca has known Delap since he was 16 and their time together at Manchester City, when he was coach of their Elite Development Squad (their under-23s, essentially). That team won the Premier League 2 title in 2020-21, with Delap scoring 24 goals in 20 games, including three hat-tricks. He was signed by City from Derby County's youth system in 2019 by Joe Shields, who at the time was City's head of academy recruitment but is now Chelsea's co-director of recruitment. Another familiar face from City, their former head of academy coaching, Glenn van der Kraan, is also now at Chelsea in a similar role. Andrew Cousins was the director of professional football and scouting at Stoke and brought Delap in on loan — he is now head of scouting at Chelsea. Justin Walker and Liam Rosenior, who both worked with him at Hull City, are with BlueCo sister club Strasbourg. And Walker coached Delap in Derby's academy. Maresca expressed his admiration for Delap before Chelsea played Ipswich in April, although he was careful about how he discussed another team's player. 'In terms of numbers, he's doing fantastic,' he said. 'It's not just in terms of his numbers. The way he plays and fights and is always 'there'.' Chelsea's need for a new striker was evident throughout the season in a number of ways. It felt less than ideal that a club that has spent £1.5billion on new players since BlueCo took over in 2022 were relying entirely on Nicolas Jackson as their only centre-forward. When Jackson was out, Maresca had to improvise, playing Pedro Neto or Christopher Nkunku out of position, or leaning on talented players with potential who are clearly early in their careers, like Guiu or Tyrique George. Maresca has publicly praised Jackson (in April he described the Senegal forward as his 'perfect No 9' and said Chelsea were a 'completely different team' when he was unavailable), and, while he's a better player than some give him credit for who offers more than just goals, he was among the worst-performing strikers in the Premier League when it came to expected goals. He scored 10 times in the Premier League last season against an xG figure of 12.3: among centre-forwards, only Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Evanilson had a bigger negative disparity. Delap, on the other hand, was quite the opposite: he scored 12 against an xG of 9.3. This is not the only measure against which strikers should be judged, but it does provide one reason why Delap was so coveted. He fits with Chelsea's policy when it comes to age. Since the summer of 2022, BlueCo's first transfer window after their takeover when they signed Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly, among others, they have not spent a fee on an outfielder over the age of 25: their only two recruits older than that were goalkeeper Robert Sanchez and Tosin Adarabioyo, who arrived on a free from Fulham. Advertisement The 22-year-old Delap will join Brazilian winger Willian Estevao (18), Ecuadorian midfielder Kendry Paez (18) and Portuguese midfielder Dario Essugo (20) in arriving this summer, with Essugo's Sporting CP team-mate Geovany Quenda (18) on his way next year. Champions League football, which was by no means a certainty right up until the last day of the season, was something that United and Forest couldn't offer, but wasn't the main factor in Chelsea persuading Delap to join them. A more important factor is that he gets to join a young team at Chelsea. Cole Palmer, Moises Caicedo and Noni Madueke are 23, Enzo Fernandez is 24, Reece James is a hoary old veteran at 25. Delap is joining contemporaries, a club where there aren't dominant, older figures in the dressing room: had he gone to United, say, he would be joining Bruno Fernandes' team, at Liverpool it's Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah. At Chelsea, they hope that by bringing together young players, it will help form more of a collective — a group that they hope will be together and successful for a long time. He also has the opportunity to be the main man there, which wouldn't have been the case at Newcastle as things stand, although Alexander Isak will be another prominent name in this summer's transfer talk. Chelsea are also stable in comparison to United, who finished the season in 15th place and have been a black hole for talent over the last few years. He is also not walking into an entirely alien environment, with several on-pitch connections from his days at City: being coached by Maresca there is one, but he's also good friends with Romeo Lavia and Cole Palmer, combining well with the latter a number of times for City's EDS, probably most memorably in a 7-2 win over Liverpool where they both scored two past Caoimhin Kelleher. Jamie Gittens, who Chelsea are interested in this summer, was also in the academy at City with Delap but did not play in that game. The Palmer connection is not just a case of him wanting to play with his mates. The fact that Delap has an existing on-pitch relationship with Chelsea's key creative force was attractive, and is something that should reduce the adjustment period that is inevitable when a player moves from a struggling club to a bigger one. It could also mitigate the adjustments that Delap will have to make when adapting to a new style of play: Ipswich were among the Premier League's more direct sides last season, while Chelsea favour a slower, more possession-based style. Chuck him into that among entirely unfamiliar players, and he could struggle. With players he knows, it should be easier. Chelsea wanted to get the deal done as soon as possible, with Delap registered in the new, mini transfer window established to help those involved in the Club World Cup sign players for the tournament. But a decision hasn't yet been made over whether he will go with Chelsea to the U.S., or whether he will play for England in the European Under-21 Championship, held in Slovakia more or less in parallel to the Club World Cup. He has been named in Lee Carsley's preliminary squad, but that call will have to be made before June 6, when England's final 23 will be announced. It also doesn't mean their business is done when it comes to attacking options. They remain keen on Eintracht Frankfurt forward Hugo Ekitike, although not at the German club's current valuation. Jadon Sancho will leave Chelsea at the end of his loan. Beyond Gittens, Chelsea have Alejandro Garnacho on their list for this summer. Advertisement Delap is not guaranteed to succeed. Playing for a team that was in the bottom three for most of the season is very different to one at the top end of the table. He could struggle to adapt to the different style of play. He only has one season of Premier League football to his name, and his goalscoring record in the Championship before that was modest: over three loan spells from City, with Stoke, Preston and Hull, he scored 12 goals in 69 appearances. But Chelsea believe he can be England's No 9 of the future and, at such a relatively low price, believe he could be just what they need. Additional reporting: Laurie Whitwell
