In an exclusive interview with InStyle, the host teased she was going to wear eight outfits. "There's a lot of different options. I will change [my mind]. I'll be like, 'No I don't like this hair. Let's just pull it back. Give me a ponytail. Where are my hoops?' Theres so many different ways to go, and I'm just going to pick whatever feels good in the moment," she shared.

The Hustlers star also wore this gold sequins number, which had high slits on both sides. She also opted for a sleek high ponytail to complete the look.

Another sequins fave is this royal blue David Koma strapless gown that had a fun boxy silhouette. She paired it with silver heels, a tennis bracelet and a choker—along with a updo and face-framing pieces.

Keeping up with the sequin trend, the triple-threat wore this black Monot jumpsuit with side cutouts, a diamond-shaped neckline and a deep open back. This time around, she kept her hair straight and glossy to show off her chunky highlights.

Before I show you *the* outfit, this plunging Miss Sohee halter-neck gown comes at a close second. It was embroidered in Swarovski crystals and had a high slit in the front to show off her dancing legs, as well as a gorgeous floral cape.

But it's this outfit that truly defined the night and stole the entire show. A Bronx and Banco original, this sparkling number had dramatic bedazzled cutouts and a sheer fringe skirt made for a professional dancer like her.
The jaw-dropping look complements nicely with the big news she just gave her fans on Instagram. On Monday night, she shared that she will be having her very own Las Vegas residency starting in December.
OK, can we officially crown J.Lo the queen of outfit changes?

Prince William's mistrust of Meghan Markle is derailing peace with Prince Harry: author
Prince William's alleged reservations about Meghan Markle are the main obstacle to a reconciliation with his estranged brother, Prince Harry, a prominent royal author has claimed. The Prince of Wales, 43, has reportedly not spoken to his younger brother for over two years — and their already-damaged bond was made worse with the release of Harry and Meghan's many money-making ventures, including a tell-all book, interview and Netflix series. After the Duke and Duchess of Sussex left royal secrets spilling into the spotlight, the future king is digging in his heels, unwilling to rekindle dialogue between the two camps amid deep-rooted trust issues, according to royal commentator Ingrid Seward. Advertisement 4 Prince William's alleged reservations about Meghan Markle are the main obstacle to a reconciliation with his estranged brother, Prince Harry, according to a royal author. POOL/AFP via Getty Images 'The flea in the ointment really is very much Meghan,' Seward told Fox News. 'She's disliked intensely by a large number of the monarchists of this country. They see her as being very… damaging to the royal family.' 'I think a lot of people in America feel the same,' she added. 'They don't like that Meghan [reportedly] dissed her husband's family and dissed her own family.' Advertisement Seward, who penned 'My Mother and I,' also mentioned the 'Suits' alum's ongoing rift with her own family, including her ailing father, Thomas Markle Sr. The pair's relationship became severely strained shortly before the As Ever founder's wedding to Harry, and has only continued to sour after Markle Sr. suffered a stroke in 2022. He has yet to meet his grandchildren. 4 The Prince of Wales, 43, has reportedly not spoken to his younger brother for over two years. Getty Images 'It's just extraordinary to think that her children have not met their grandfather,' Seward told the outlet. Advertisement 'I think people in the States find that extremely odd, and [we] find it very odd here. And I think that's a real black mark against Meghan's character. I think she hasn't been able to embrace… her own family, however much she feels about them. I mean, Harry's never even met her father, which is extraordinary.' Follow The Post's royal family live blog for the latest pics, news, exclusive details and more 'There are a lot of difficult emotions [to] get over there,' she added.

Sources told the outlet that Harry's calls and texts to William had gone unanswered. 4 Seward added that William has 'taken a firm stance' in keeping his distance from the Sussexes.

His immigrant mother named him after a sun god. Now Tonatiuh is a breakout star
Amid brightly colored stands selling spices, candies and imitation Labubus in all shades, the mono-monikered actor Tonatiuh sips on a hibiscus agua fresca at El Mercadito in Boyle Heights. The indoor market has been a staple of Latino life and commerce since it opened in the late 1960s. Not far from here, his aunt still runs the business that she and Tonatiuh's mother, an immigrant from the Mexican state of Guanajuato, opened decades ago. 'My mom cut hair for a long time, so I grew up in a beauty salon,' he says, casually dressed in a light blue button-up shirt. 'That's why I talk so much.' The school Tonatiuh attended as a kid, Our Lady of Lourdes, is also in the vicinity, as is the place where he learned to ride a bicycle, Hollenbeck Park. To say that the streets of Boyle Heights, where he was born, nurtured his worldview would be an understatement. 'These last few months have been really difficult,' Tonatiuh tells me, referencing the recent ICE raids that have ravaged the fabric of the city. He calls them vicious: a 'PR cycle against people with dignity, taxpaying individuals who are feeding their families and running businesses, quite literally living the American dream, as cliché as that may sound. ' Even as his own dreams are beginning to materialize, Tonatiuh, 30, remains tethered to these places and people. His career is about to launch into Hollywood's firmament with a dual role in director Bill Condon's screen adaptation of the stage musical version of 'Kiss of the Spider Woman' (in theaters Oct. 10). The rising Mexican American actor shares dramatic space with superstars Jennifer Lopez and Diego Luna. Reviews out of the Sundance Film Festival, where the movie debuted in January, praised Tonatiuh's performance as a breakthrough. His electrifying turn is equal parts heart-wrenching, deliciously irreverent and technically impressive. For the bulk of the film, Tonatiuh plays Luis Molina, a passionate gay prisoner in jail during Argentina's 1970s-era Dirty War who is infatuated with the dazzling escapism of the movies — especially with the allure of fictional screen diva Ingrid Luna (a standout Lopez). Molina indulges in fantasies to stay sane, a dreamscape we experience as scenes from a 1940s classic Hollywood musical. In them, Tonatiuh sings and dances as the dashing Kendall Nesbitt dressed to the nines in elegant tuxes. The musical portion of the film was shot in New York, while for the prison sequences only involving Tonatiuh and Diego Luna as Valentin, a rugged revolutionary, the production relocated to Uruguay. The effect, Tonaituh says, was like making two separate movies. To perform alongside Lopez, he rehearsed with Broadway dancers for a month leading up to the shooting. 'When I first met Jennifer, I was like, 'Oh my God, that's Jennifer Lopez, what the hell?'' he recalls with contagious energy. 'I must have turned left on the wrong street because now I'm standing in front of her. How did this happen? What life am I living?' One would think Tonatiuh's mother knew he was destined to become a star when naming him after the brightest heavenly body. 'She had a dream when she was pregnant with me where she was in a field surrounded by golden orbs and they turned into the sun,' he explains. 'And because of the Aztec mythology of Tonatiuh being the sun god, she woke up from the dream and was like, 'My kid's name is going to be Tonatiuh.'' Growing up around Latinos, his Indigenous name didn't raise eyebrows. But that changed once Tonatiuh got a taste of the demands of assimilation. 'As we moved to West Covina, everyone tried to impose their anglicized identity onto me, and I went with it for many years,' he says. 'Then I started realizing, 'Why am I denying even my own name to fit in?' It's so stupid.' The entertainment industry proved just as unwilling to accept all of him. Those advising him warned him to play ball. 'It's already hard enough given the way you look,' Tonatiuh recalls hearing from them. 'I was just like, 'Are we going to change my name to Albert?'' As for his last name, Elizarraraz, he conceded it might be a bridge too far for English-only speakers. 'My first name's already difficult enough,' Tonatiuh says. 'They are not ready for that.' Increasingly, he found the concept of a mononym enticing. 'I was like, 'How many other Tonatiuhs are in the industry?' I looked it up on SAG, and it was just me,' he says. Enamored with drama from a young age, Tonatiuh remembers watching James Cameron's 'Titanic' on VHS as a formative experience. But it wasn't until a friend's mother invited him to see a live performance of 'Wicked' when he was a teenager that acting grabbed him. 'I like stories with a hook and a bite to it,' he says. ''Wicked' is about segregation and the rise of it in America. But it's in metaphor. 'Animal Farm' is the same way. There are beautiful, entertaining works that are also poignant, with messaging. That messaging is what's most interesting to me.' Despite his love of performing and storytelling, a more conventional path seemed likely. At the end of high school, Tonatiuh had been accepted to multiple universities to study political science. 'I have a very strong intolerance to injustice,' he says, a past victim of bullying and, like many children of immigrants, his mother's de facto translator and legal avatar. 'In my mind, I was like, I can help and be of most use if I became a lawyer or a politician.' But thanks to an English teacher who suggested he should instead pursue his true passion, Tonatiuh doubled down on acting. His mother would drive him in traffic from West Covina to the South Coast Repertory in Costa Mesa every morning before work so that he could have a chance at a proper acting education. 'I must have done something to earn her, because she's such a loving person and her biggest thing was that she just wanted me to be happy,' he says of his devoted parent. Formal training at USC followed, though Tonatiuh still felt uncertain on how to carve out space for himself, joining local L.A. theater companies while auditioning for TV and film roles. 'The hardest part of acting is the auditions, because it's awkward,' he says. 'Once you put the pieces in place, submitting to the story and using the words as your weapons to guide you through it, acting is just so fun.' Showrunner Tanya Saracho became aware of Tonatiuh after seeing him in a play. She invited him to join the ensemble of 'Vida,' a series filmed in his native Boyle Heights, in the role of Marcos, an academically accomplished queer man. Sociopolitically outspoken material has shaped Tonatiuh's resume so far: 'Vida' dealt with gentrification, while the 2022 ABC series 'Promised Land' followed undocumented characters who amassed power by way of wealth. Now, 'Kiss of the Spider Woman' examines authoritarianism through a queer lens. 'My body is being used for a purpose much greater than just entertainment,' he says. 'I didn't have any nepotism. I was very fortunate that people believed in me, and they gave me opportunities.' 'Spider Woman' director Condon credits producer Ben Affleck with the liberty to cast someone talented but not yet a household name. 'He said, 'I know how important this is,'' Condon, an Oscar winner for 1998's 'Gods and Monsters,' recalls. 'He took that off the table right away.' The search for Condon's Molina/Kendall was as extensive as the one he did for Effie in his film version of 'Dreamgirls' 20 years earlier, the role that famously went to singer Jennifer Hudson. 'Hundreds of actors in South America, Central America, Mexico, Spain, New York, Los Angeles, London and other cities,' remembers Condon. 'But it wasn't like with all those hundreds there were dozens of credible choices. There were really just a handful.' Among them, Tonatiuh grabbed attention on a self-taped audition. Condon sought someone who could be persuasive within the gritty realism of a prison movie, while also credibly being a larger-than-life Hollywood musical star. Tonatiuh inhabited both modes seamlessly. 'Tona has the most extraordinary, open, beautiful face,' Condon says. 'And his eyes just invite you in. There's a lot of camp humor and that's not something that comes naturally to someone of Tona's generation, but he just has it in his bones. But it's the depth of feeling that he can convey that mattered most.' Tonatiuh seized the chance to play two distinctly complex characters within one movie. His task, he says, was injecting contemporary ideas about queerness into a period piece. 'When I got this one, it felt super special because I don't think Hollywood always gives people like me an opportunity to play a character this dynamic,' Tonatiuh says. 'There is such a return when Hollywood invests in Latin talent and treats us like normal people. Give us a good story. We're not a genre.' And though he and Condon discussed Molina's mindset as well as the historical context and circumstances, Tonatiuh reveled in creative freedom because he wasn't the focus of intense supervision. 'There was a certain level of mischief and magic that was happening because I was the least-known person on set,' he says. 'And a lot of the eyes were on everyone else.' (That cover of anonymity might not last long.) Throughout the production, Tonatiuh felt that 'Kiss of the Spider Woman' spoke to his aspirations directly, not only to those of his characters. 'There was this moment where Jennifer looked at me in the song 'Where You Are,' and sang, 'Close your eyes and you'll become a movie star. Why must you stay where you are?' And in a weird way, it's happening.' Tonatiuh flew his mother and stepfather out to New York to witness 'Where You Are,' an imposing musical number involving close to 70 people in front of the camera. When Lopez and Tonatiuh performed their dance duet, his mother was in awe. 'Now she wants to be Kris Jenner — she wants to be the momager,' Tonatiuh says, only half-joking. 'In this time where Latinos are getting a lot of s—, it makes me really happy that I can bring her some pride.' Yet, his mother hasn't seen the finished film. He wants her to experience it at the upcoming premiere. 'I want her to get the full experience of getting to walk the carpet,' he says. His eyes wet, Tonatiuh recalls an emotional scene with Luna's Valentin, Molina's improbable love interest, that once again seemed to him as if film and his reality were in direct conversation. 'When I'm telling Valentin, 'The film's almost over and I don't want it to end,' it broke my heart because I realized that the film was actually almost over and I didn't want it to end,' he says. 'I bawled my eyes out as if I'd lost the love of my life, and that, for me as a person — what a gift, because it's fake but it was real for me.' Since wrapping 'Kiss of the Spider Woman,' Tonatiuh has acted in Jeremy O. Harris' play 'Spirit of the People' and Ryan Murphy's upcoming series 'American Love Story.' For his next act, he wants to start from scratch. 'I want to do something completely different than Molina because I love being a shape-shifter,' he says. 'I want to be unrecognizable every time I come on screen.'

Former ‘Home Improvement' star Patricia Richardson looks unrecognizable ahead of reunion with castmates
A former sitcom star might have fans doing a double-take when she reunites with her ex-castmates on the small screen this fall. 'Home Improvement' actress Patricia Richardson looks nearly unrecognizable since she portrayed Jill Taylor on the popular ABC sitcom starring Tim Allen throughout most of the '90s. The 74-year-old no longer has a chestnut brown bob, like the one she flaunted during the seven-time Emmy Award-winning show that followed the work and family life of Tim 'The Tool Man' Taylor. 4 Patricia Richardson started growing her hair out during the COVID-19 pandemic. Getty Images Richardson now rocks a head of shock white hair, which she started growing out during the COVID-19 pandemic. 'Ok here we have covid hair grow out,' she captioned in an Instagram post showing the stark difference between her dyed hair and white roots in Oct. 2020. 'Just don't want to cut it! So…. new covid fashion raccoon hair?' Fans flooded her comment section, cheering on her 'beautiful' and natural style which she seemingly kept over recent years. Richardson flaunted her white hair during a 2021 episode of 'NCIS' and also showed off her mane on the red carpet for the premiere of 'Chantilly Bridge' in March 2023 and during a SAG-AFTRA event in Los Angeles in December 2023. Richardson will soon reunite with her former 'Home Improvement' husband and some of her former co-stars during the Season 2 premiere of Allen's current ABC show, 'Shifting Gears,' according to a report by Deadline. 4 Richardson flaunted a chestnut brown bob when she was on 'Home Improvement.' Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images 4 Richardson showcased her white hair in an episode of 'NCIS' in 2021. CBS via Getty Images 'Worlds are colliding,' the show confirmed on its official Instagram page. 'See Shifting Gears x Home Improvement on the October 1 season premiere!' The reunion comes over 25 years after 'Home Improvement' ended in 1999. Richard Karn, known for playing Al Borland in 'Home Improvement,' and Debbe Dunning, who portrayed 'Tool Time Girl' Heidi Keppert in the '90s show, will appear alongside Richardson in Allen's show about a widowed owner of a car restoration shop, the outlet reported. It's not been revealed which fictional roles the trio of guest stars will play in the upcoming premiere but the cast is supposed to help Allen's fictional character, Matt Parker, in an 'unexpected way,' per Deadline. 4 'Home Improvement' ran for eight seasons on ABC in the '90s. ©Touchstone Television/Courtesy Everett Collection The Season 2 premiere of 'Shifting Gears' won't be the first time Richardson has reunited with Allen, 72, on television. The four-time Emmy Award-nominee appeared as Helen Potts, an inconsiderate neighbor, in two episodes of his 'Last Man Standing' series in 2015 and 2016. Richardson has maintained her career since 'Home Improvement' ended. She portrayed Dr. Andy Campbell in dozens of episodes of 'Strong Medicine,' political strategist Sheila Brooks in 'The West Wing' and had a series of guest star roles on shows like 'Grey's Anatomy,' 'NCIS' and 'The Blacklist.'
