Halsey's Blue Pixie Cut and Micro Bangs Channel Anime-influence and Y2K Nostalgia at ‘Americana' Screening
The vibrant shade of blue bore a strong resemblance to the neon highlight that dresses the head of Riot Games' League of Legends character Jinx; however, Halsey, born Ashley Nicolette Frangipane, took inspiration from Botan in the anime show, 'Yu Yu Hakusho,' sharing a picture of the character in her Instagram post on July 23. At the time, the 'Without Me' singer had a bob.

For the Sunday premiere, she had the trendy style chopped much shorter in a hybrid pixie and mullet cut, tucking her long pieces behind her ears and leaving the short side fringe in front.
This isn't the first time Halsey's donned this exact playful shade on her head. In fact, her fans were excited to see her reprise her blue-haired persona dubbed 'Blusey,' belonging to her ubiquitous early 2000s beauty nostalgia that's been dictating trends online recently. She last colored her hair blue in 2015, but briefly reverted to it in 2017 with a long, curly wig.
For her makeup, Halsey ignored the hue on her head to instead play with faded browns and misty mauves on her eyes. Her lips, on the other hand, were dressed in a dark burgundy lip liner on the edge and a lighter shade in the middle. The almond-shaped French tip extensions on her nails were colored with that same burgundy, too.
From head to toe, Halsey breathed life into the Y2K fashion trends that first started resurfacing post-pandemic. She dressed in pointed-toe, cream heels, embroidered skinny jeans and a high-neck top with ribbon-tied corset detailing on the sides. Next to her, Sydney Sweeney revived an accessory popularized in the '80s: wide fabric headbands. Uniquely, the 'Euphoria' star teamed the soft headpiece with a ballerina ballgown, embellished with a tulle skirt and a satin bodice.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez are engaged. What we know so far about the massive ring that's estimated to be worth 7 figures
The bride-to-be posted the photo of the impressive diamond ring that broke the internet. Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentine model Georgina Rodríguez announced their engagement on Monday after eight years of dating. The bride-to-be shared the momentous news in an Instagram post, with a photo of her massive sparkler of an engagement ring and the caption, written in Spanish: 'Yes, I do. In this and in all my lives.' The post has since broken the internet, with over 11.3 million likes as of Tuesday morning. The official details of Rodríguez's bling, like the number of carats and how much it's worth, have yet to be revealed by the power couple and their unknown jeweler, but that hasn't stopped jewelry experts from weighing in. Here's what we know so far about the 'four C's' (cut, clarity, color and carat) of the impressive diamond ring: What kind of cut is the diamond? Abdulla BelJafla, creative director of Gafla, who shared his insight with Vogue Arabia, said the main diamond in the center is an oval-cut, which maximizes its brilliance. 'A perfectly proportioned oval (with a 1.30–1.50 length-to-width ratio) offers symmetry on the hand,' he told the magazine. 'While many ovals exhibit the subtle 'bow-tie effect,' this piece appears to have exceptional light dispersion, minimizing it entirely.' How many estimated carats are there? Rodríguez's oval-cut diamond ring is approximately 37 carats in total, according to jewelry experts. The center oval stone weighs about 35 carats, Tobias Kormind, the managing director of 77 Diamonds in London, told People. He believes the center stone is flanked by oval stones on the sides, about one carat each, set in platinum. BelJafla also assessed the stunner to be about 37 carats total and estimated the center diamond to be "between 22 and 30 carats," he told Vogue Arabia. Let's get down to brass tacks. How much do we think this ring is worth? It's estimated to be worth seven figures. 'If the diamond is natural and of exceptional quality in the D-F color range with flawless or near-flawless clarity, its value could easily exceed around $2 million," Laura Taylor, engagement ring specialist at Lorel Diamonds, told People. Meanwhile, Kormind estimates that Rodríguez is carrying around a $5 million ring on her finger. 'Experts value the ring between U.S. $4 million and U.S. $5 million,' BelJafla told Vogue Arabia, 'given the size, flawless clarity, and D color of the stones. … A ring like this is quite rare if it's a natural diamond.' What else do we know about the engaged couple? Ronaldo, 40, and Rodríguez, 31, have been together for eight years. They have a total of four children together: twins Eva Maria and Mateo, 8 (born via surrogacy); daughter Alana, 7; and daughter Bella, 3. Ronaldo also has a 15-year-old son, Cristiano Jr., from a previous relationship. The couple previously announced the death of Bella's twin brother, Ángel, in April 2022.

Where to find girl dinner in New Orleans
A small handful of New Orleans restaurants are now offering "girl dinner" specials, serving up price fixe meals in a nod to a delicious viral trend. Why it matters: The perfect restaurant order does exist. Catch up quick: The phenomenon may have always existed but it got a name when TikTok user Olivia Maher was — delightfully — on a self-described "hot girl walk" with a friend and thought up the title. Maher told the New York Times that the pair were extolling the virtues of a simple meal of bread and cheese. "It feels like such a girl dinner because we do it when our boyfriends aren't around and we don't have to have what's a 'typical dinner' — essentially, with a protein and a veggie and a starch," Ms. Maher said. The term caught on, and one of the most popular iterations of the meal is a salad, French fries and a cocktail or Diet Coke. Here's where to find girl dinner -inspired specials in New Orleans: 🍸 JusTini's offers " girl lunch" on weekdays from 11am to 3pm. The $25 deal includes a Caesar salad, truffle fries and a martini or lemon drop cocktail. 🍟 Junior's on Harrison offers $7 truffle fries, Caesar salads, martinis and frozen drinks on Thursdays.

An Apple Arcade subscription gives you access to games without paywalls and ads, a feature usually denoted by "Plus" in the name.

Hopefully, my Cincinnati Bengals will return to the Super Bowl this year, but if not, I can at least take them there in this game. Jeopardy! Daily Developer: Frosty Pop Games Apple Jeopardy! Daily is a daily game that brings clues crafted by the show's writers to your screen, where you have to answer in the form of a question.
