Add a Statement Pinky Ring to Your Stack Like Meghan Markle, Victoria Beckham, and EmRata
Earlier this month, Meghan Markle posted an Instagram tribute to her daughter, Lilibet, in honor of her 4th birthday. While many were probably focused on the rarely-seen young princess, my eyes flew straight to the rock on Markle's pinkie finger.
While nowadays, the Duchess of Sussex rocks a bezel-set emerald-cut diamond, she was wearing pinky rings even as a working royal. In 2019, while attending Wimbledon, Markle accessorized her courtside look with a small sapphire on a slim gold band. But it seems that after she and Prince Harry took a step back from their royal duties, she upgraded to her current statement ring.

PatrickMarkle isn't the only one who leveled up their ring stack. Emily Ratajkowski made headlines last year when she repurposed her toi et moi engagement ring into two separate 'divorce rings.' One of them became a pear-shaped diamond pinky ring, set askew on a yellow gold band.
Last week, Victoria Beckham also showed off a ring on her little finger. The designer kept her stack sparse, pairing her pinky ring with a petite emerald on her pointer finger.

Michael Sheen Sounds Unconvinced That the ‘Good Omens' Finale Special Will Be Released
But sources say Prime Video is still planning on releasing the special in the wake of the allegations against Neil Gaiman. It's been a roller-coaster of emotions for Good Omens fans since that heartbreaking season two finale. News that the Prime Video adaptation would get a third and final season came in December 2023; the following year, production was reportedly paused amid the allegations against showrunner and source material co-author Neil Gaiman. Then, fans learned Gaiman was reportedly pulling back from Good Omens season three—followed by the announcement in October 2024 that season three was going to be a 90-minute special instead of a full slate of episodes. However, a recent interview with star Michael Sheen, who plays the angelic Aziraphale opposite David Tennant's demonic Crowley, has sown some doubt that the special may ever see the light of day. Speaking to the Times (via Collider), Sheen was asked about Good Omens in a way that framed its 'potential return,' a worrisome way of referring to what fans had assumed was a done deal. 'I really don't know what's going to happen with it,' Sheen said of the finale. He also implied that production was completed on it, and made mention of the Gaiman situation that's unfortunately become part of the show's external narrative: '[Tennant and I] were both relieved we finished the story, but that's within this really difficult, complicated, disturbing context. I hope people get to see it, but that, to a large extent, is out of our hands.' A source familiar with the matter told io9 that the series finale is still moving forward. Though we're still waiting on an official announcement, we're crossing our fingers we'll get to see how Aziraphale and Crowley's 'ineffable' relationship plays out. We'll keep you updated if and when any additional Good Omens finale news becomes available.

A home for original and unexpected art. It's a natural extension of everything we do at #Merky — telling our stories, shining a light on real voices and creating space for those who deserve to be seen and heard. I'm proud to share our very first official production: Big Man, produced in partnership with Apple — out on June 18th. A short film directed by the legendary Aneil Karia,' he said. This is not the first movie shot on iPhone — I'm sure your camera roll has several masterpieces of your own — and it's becoming an increasingly popular way to shoot. But as an official Shot on iPhone piece, this is the first that has been made in the U.K., as well as the first lead role by Stormzy. Directors love the way that something as small and light as an iPhone can be used, especially for dramas, where the director of photography can get up close to actors without the disorienting effect that a full-size Hollywood camera can cause. With an iPhone, directors say they can find performances that are intensely naturalistic and simple. The director of this movie commented that "It's much smaller than the traditional cameras... the lightness and flexibility that comes with that is boundless," he said. The film lasts 24 minutes and will be available to watch on YouTube from 8 p.m. U.K. time.

TikTok Changes The Game For Women's Sports
TikTok TikTok is the new front-row seat for sports fans. While traditional broadcasts and live events remain central, TikTok is opening new doors for fan engagement, transforming casual viewers into dedicated followers. TikTok Women's sports are at the forefront of this transformation, redefining how fans connect with and consume sports content. On TikTok, moments that were once overlooked, such as behind-the-scenes locker room clips, standout plays and witty commentary, are now capturing fan attention like never before. Women's teams, leagues, and athletes are finding a powerful platform to connect with both loyal supporters and new audiences. TikTok On May 19th, TikTok hosted its first ever UK Women's Sport Summit at Landing 42 in London. A gathering of leading athletes, creators, publishers, and sports executives—including England goalkeeper Mary Earps (@maryearps), Olympic long jumper Jazmin Sawyers (@jazminsawyers), Unrivaled Chief Growth Officer Chloe Pavlech (@chloepavlech), and more—surfaced one clear takeaway: the future of sports fandom is unfolding on TikTok. Below are a few standout themes that emerged from the summit. TikTok is a Launchpad for Growth Athletes are increasingly thinking beyond their playing careers. TikTok offers a scalable way to build personal brands and create long-term business value. TikTok TikTok TikTok TikTok TikTok is Where Sports Culture Lives Just as important as in-game moments are those that happen off the court. Personalities, chemistry, and authenticity behind the scenes are fueling the next generation of fandom. TikTok TikTok TikTok Fans Are Deeply Engaged Beyond reach, TikTok fosters genuine connection. The stories athletes share spark meaningful fan engagement. TikTok TikTok In tandem with the Women in Sports summit, TikTok is collaborating with Leaders in Sports on a three-part podcast series, amplifying industry voices and dropping insights into how short-form video is revolutionizing sports media. In episode one, TikTok and Leaders in Sport sat down with England goalkeeper Mary Earps - twice named the world's best by FIFA - and Chloe Pavlech, Chief Growth Officer at Unrivaled. Together, they explored how athletes are forging deeper connections with fans by showing up authentically on TikTok. 'Fans get to see a side of me they haven't seen before,' said Earps, who regularly captivates fans on her TikTok channel with behind-the-scenes content that shows her off-the-pitch personality. 'For me, TikTok has always been a platform where I can be unapologetically myself.' Today's sports fans crave immediate and intimate access. Behind-the-scenes glimpses humanize athletes, transforming them from on-screen images into relatable personalities. 'The content that performs best for me is usually the most relatable, everyday moments,' said Mary Earps. TikTok From off-season vlogs to personality-driven takeovers, content that goes beyond the scoreboard is helping athletes become household names and even pulling new fans into the fold. Chloe Pavlech shared her insights from Unrivaled's inaugural season: 'Our best-performing content isn't highlights—it's when we let the athletes take over the account,' Pavlech added. 'It's not that people don't want to watch highlights—they're just discovering the athletes first as people with diverse interests. Anytime you take the mic to tell your own story, there's power in that. That's why athletes come to TikTok." Rounding out a sports-packed week, TikTok hosted a panel focused on sports fandom at the 2025 Gondola Sports Summit on May 20th in Denver. The panel brought together voices across the industry to offer insights into how TikTok is rewriting the playbook for sports storytelling, empowering both publishers and athletes to tell their story in new ways. KK Arnold, guard for the UConn Huskies, spoke to this shift, sharing: 'For me, TikTok is a space to show who I am beyond the game. The crowd sees me as an elite athlete on the court but on TikTok, they get to see me and my Girly Pops have fun. My dance routines, my chemistry with my teammates, the everyday moments that make my journey so special. It's where the culture lives—the fun, the energy, the real KK.' Director of Women's Basketball at Octagon, Camille Buxeda, expanded on the platform's role in long-term brand building for athletes, 'Any athlete looks to build properties that will go beyond their playing days. TikTok is one of the best platforms to build that pillar in an athlete's business because no matter what's happening on the court, TikTok gives them a platform to grow their business off the court. TikTok is a forever thing.' And the impact goes beyond storytelling. Camille also noted the impressive engagement metrics that back up the cultural momentum: "When looking at metrics and engagement rate of athletes on TikTok, women's content is overwhelmingly dominating – proving TikTok's audience is rooted in and engaged to their stories." TikTok's impact on women's sports is undeniable, and only the beginning. As more athletes and publishers embrace a creator-first approach, TikTok will continue to redefine what sports fandom looks like. In a digital-first world where fans crave immediacy, intimacy, and authenticity, TikTok delivers. For publishers, this means embracing a new playbook - one that elevates personalities alongside performances and prioritizes content that draws fans in, not just to watch, but to feel part of the moment. Those who embrace this shift by empowering athletes, experimenting with formats, and spotlighting the magic behind the game will be the ones shaping the future of sports fandom.
