Anne Hathaway Spotted With New Hair Color on the ‘Devil Wears Prada 2' Set
As I'm sure we're all seen (via social media, ofc), filming for The Devil Wears Prada 2 is well underway. But that's [not] all, because while Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci all star as their original characters, circa a decade later, they've each had a glow up – natch. Our favorite? Andy Sachs (aka, Anne), who is now, along with a revamped wardrobe, rocking fresh red streaky highlights. Let's just hope Miranda approves... As shown in the new pap snaps below, taken July 28, Anne's trademark brunette curls aren't all lost, but instead, subtle auburn highlights have been added. (Either that, or the lighting on set is creating the illusion of red undertones in her hair.) It's subtle yet noticeable and oh, so very autumnal! Wouldn't you agree? Hair aside, gone are the lumpy blue sweaters, and in their place, Anne has been serving fire fashionable 'fits. We're talking power suits galore! My favorite (seeing as you're so eager to know) is the vintage Jean Paul Gaultier pinstriped suit and a Coach bag. It's giving boss, and it gives us hope that Andy has ditched Nate (IYKYK). Meryl Streep's glow up, on the other hand, consists of not aging a day—I mean, just look at her! And the pixie? Yep, still intact 10 years later. All in all, these transformations give us hope that the sequel will live up to the original film. You best believe we're counting down the days til its release!

Who Gets To Be a Geek: Unpacking Gatekeeping in the Geek Community
Who Gets To Be a Geek: Unpacking Gatekeeping in the Geek Community by Amanda Boyd The gatekeeping conversation is as old as the geek community itself. We continue to ask, 'Who gets to be a fan?' Even though geekdom has become more mainstream and inclusive than ever, gatekeeping is still very present. At its worst, it's outright discrimination. At its best? Even then, it's often rooted in fear of loss rather than love for the work. When Gatekeeping Is Just Discrimination Many of us have either experienced or witnessed the most unfortunate side of gatekeeping: a woman being asked whether she really knows Star Wars , a BIPOC cosplayer being told their costume isn't 'accurate,' or someone being met with surprise because they don't 'look' like an anime fan. This isn't passion for fandom, it's prejudice wearing a fandom t-shirt. It's discrimination, plain and simple. Some people use fandoms as a shield for their racism, sexism, and other biases. They try to turn communities meant to celebrate creativity and connection into exclusive clubs. However, fandoms thrive when they're open and diverse. Women make up nearly half of the gaming community, and LGBTQ+ fans also have a prominent presence, despite being underrepresented. We're finally living in an age where diverse stories and voices are being recognized and celebrated in geek spaces, and the communities are better for it. RELATED: SDCC 2025: Anne Rice Immortal Universe Panel Unveils Dark Delights for The Vampire Lestat and Talamasca So, when you see someone being targeted online or at a con just for existing in a space they love, speak up. This form of gatekeeping doesn't come from love of the content; it comes from dislike of others. And that's never what fandom should be about. The Emotional Roots of 'Protective' Gatekeeping That said, not all gatekeeping comes from a place of hate. Some of it comes from fear, fear that something meaningful will be changed or lost. For long-time fans, especially those who found a deep personal connection to a show, game, or story before it hit the mainstream, there's a feeling of ownership. You were there at the start. You 'got it' before the world did and saw yourself in the art. Then comes the adaptation. The reboot and the studio cash-in. Suddenly, that once-intimate thing feels mass-produced, rebranded for people who don't love it the way you do. It can feel like watching a cherished memory get turned into a marketing campaign. You can probably name at least three franchises that have gone through this exact trajectory. Many fans can. RELATED: New TV Shows This Week (July 27 – August 2) Wanting to protect that original feeling, the authenticity, is natural. Art helps us express who we are, and when that expression feels diluted or co-opted, it stings. But here's the hard truth… Gatekeeping Doesn't Really Work Despite all the fan debates, trivia battles, purity tests, and cosplay critiques, gatekeeping hasn't stopped fandoms from growing. In fact, geek culture is bigger than ever. There's a constant tug-of-war over who's the 'real' fan: Who's been here longer? Who knows more? Can you quote every line? Do you own the rare collector's edition? But none of that actually controls what happens to the art. Fans rarely dictate whether something becomes mainstream, rebooted, or franchised. Artists themselves know that once their work is out in the world, it stops belonging to them. It takes on a life of its own. Fans, on the other hand, often struggle with that reality. RELATED: Everything Coming to Netflix in 2025 The truth is, the art you love is going to change. The community around it will change too. But change doesn't mean loss. You Will Always Have What You Loved Here's the most important thing to remember: no matter how popular or diluted a franchise becomes, you will always have the version that made you fall in love. No one can take that from you. The original game, book, show, or comic is still there. Even if the new versions don't speak to you, you still own your connection to what once was. We all chase the high of that first time a piece of art really hit us. But that feeling isn't meant to be recreated exactly. Art evolves. Artists evolve. Culture evolves. And while we can mourn what's changed, we can also choose to celebrate the impact the original had on us, and still has. RELATED: SDCC 2025: Star Trek Universe Panel Beams Up With Exciting Franchise Updates Maybe the 'posers' fade away. Maybe the fandom finds its balance again. Or maybe it becomes something entirely new. Regardless, your love for it is real, and it endures. So, instead of guarding the gates, maybe it's time we opened them. With care, with context, and with community. Because the best thing about art is that it brings people together, and there's room for everyone who truly loves it.

The best sunglasses for men and women: 20 favourites for every budget – and how to pick the perfect pair
Trying to find the right sunglasses can be overwhelming – after all, they'll be on your face for the rest of this summer and hopefully several of the next. They take centre-stage, and as such, can be a daunting thing to shop for. The Guardian's journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. Learn more. But their main character energy is also part of the fun. Like a headline or a book cover, they set out an intention. More importantly, they also protect your eyes. The right pair will marry practicality with aesthetics. For this guide, I scoured the market high and low, and spoke to friends with different needs, styles, budgets and face shapes (read the guidance below for more on choosing the right pair for your face shape) to find the best sunglasses for men and women. Having lost or broken all my existing pairs, I also went on an odyssey for the perfect replacement. Having found them, I then lost them in less than a fortnight, while rinsing sand off a child's bum in the Portuguese sea. Might I suggest that whichever sunglasses you choose, you add a chain? Oliver Bonas Sea pink round preppy sunglasses 'Super light on the face' is how one friend describes this pair, so they're a good option if you dislike the feel of a heavy frame. They look more expensive than they are, too. Cos oversized square-frame aviators If fashion pied piper Phoebe Philo is doing supersized frames – and she is, super super supersized – it tells you that you won't look like you're stuck in 2002, other than perhaps ironically. This pair from Cos works a charm. Mulberry Edie sunglasses OK, they will cost you a pretty penny, but they'll also instil oomph every time you wear them. They're more sustainably conscious than most other sunnies, too: the square frames are made from biodegradable and recyclable cellulose acetate, and the bio-nylon lenses are also biodegradable. The black is sold out, but it's a blessing in disguise because they have way more character in chalk. Free People oversized aviators Aviators are popular, but they can go horribly wrong. Even the classic Ray-Ban version can easily stray into Top Gun cosplay. But this oversized pair stays on the right side of the USS Enterprise. The sheer scale of them feels right for now, and they come in several great colours – chocolate print, caramel, leopard, lime – and plenty of not-so-great ones too. Brain Dead Tani post-modern primitive eye protection People rave about Brain Dead, and I can see why. The brand makes quality sunglasses that are fun without being wacky, with this pair a case in point. The frames are handmade from cellulose acetate and are pleasingly sturdy. Oakley Fives squared Wraparound styles are good if you like to be more active than horizontal in the sun. They're also good for emulating Princess Anne, if that's what you're into – she is partial to an Oakley. But be warned, like accidental style icon Anne, you might become inadvertently cool in the eyes of gen Z. Mango thin-frame sunglasses These are understatedly lovely, just the sunnies you might expect to have seen on Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, whose impeccable 90s style you can expect to hear a lot more about soon. Le Specs Lost Legacy Le Specs makes lust-worthy sunglasses that feel current but classic. If you're entering your Supersonic era, or never left it, this pair is perfect. Jimmy Fairly Willow These rectangular frames are a great all-rounder. The tortoiseshell is versatile, and there's a range of different lens colours available. Opt for polarised if you want to diminish glare. & Other Stories angular cat-eyes Cat-eyes are classic – but angular cat-eyes have edge. In green, they feel quite Iris Apfel; in black, a 2025 take on Audrey Hepburn; but the brown are my favourite. John Lewis round polarised category I have a theory that men just want sunglasses that don't make them look silly. This pair, with polarised lenses, is a very safe bet and will suit almost any occasion or outfit. Sign up to The Filter Get the best shopping advice from the Filter team straight to your inbox. The Guardian's journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. after newsletter promotion Ray-Ban x A$AP Rocky Wayfarer puffer If my theory above is wrong, then consider this pair my apology. The sunglasses version of a puffer, these are very daft. But if you relish daft, these might be the best thing to happen to your face in years. Just don't go for the black or white – sunglasses this silly shouldn't pretend to be sensible. M&S Collection D-frames The green adds interest to this bread-and-butter pair of sunglasses, which come with polarised lenses. Perfect for jazzing up a suit, heading out to buy milk, and everything in between. Ace & Tate Oshin A classic wayfarer shape given some drama. Made from bio acetate, these frames are lovely in cinnamon, and fiesta is also a bit of fun. Ace & Tate sunglasses are well made and feel it. They also meet CE and UKCA UV protection standards. Decathlon hiking sunglasses I wanted to include a pair for those who think spending more than a tenner on sunnies is a waste. This pair is inadvertently very 2025. Great for a hike or a festival. Finlay Audley If you're after tradition with a twist, this might be the pair for you. While the frames are based on a classic panto shape, the geometrical edge adds interest. The toasted chestnut and turtle colourways are particularly smart. Cubitts Boudica If you want your eye candy to pop, consider these Boudicas, named after the British warrior queen. They'd be perfect worn with a seersucker suit to a wedding or just every day, anywhere, if you're bold enough. The quartz colour is the one that really shines. Asos square sunglasses If these sunglasses came with a tagline, it would read: 'You can't argue with us.' Provided your face shape agrees (see below for more guidance), they're a nice, entirely inoffensive pair of sunglasses with a price to match. A Society Jacky Havana The amber-brown tortoiseshell of the frames really sets this pair of otherwise unassuming sunglasses apart. Somehow, the cosy glow they provide makes them the perfect sunnies to wear straight through from summer to the season of mist and low sun. Izipizi Sun #M light tortoise Everyone I know seems to currently have an Izipizi pair of sunglasses plastered on their faces. And I know why: they're the perfect sunglasses for those who are style- but also budget-conscious. The brand makes simple but effective frames in fun colours – these are particularly lovely in honey yellow. When it comes to finding the right sunglasses, face shape is important. 'For a square face, we'd say to go for an oval or a softly rounded frame with soft edges,' says Katie Jennings, senior brand and PR manager at Jimmy Fairly. 'Choose a frame that's slightly narrower than your face.' For rounded faces, Jennings suggests 'slim frames with pronounced angles, such as the cat-eye, to elongate and add definition'. And 'if you've got more of a triangular or pear face, we'd recommend oversized square or round frames – bigger frame choices to balance out your features'. For oval faces, 'most frames work really well', although 'rectangular frames or rounded frames will add softness', while 'more rectangular [ones] have a more confident look'. Features are important, too. Jennings has a general rule: if you have softer features, you should generally pick a more angular shape, and vice versa. 'You basically choose glasses of the opposite shape.' Perhaps it is why for people like me and John Lennon, of the pointy nose gang, round styles work better. Helpfully, many sunglasses brands offer their own guides online, such as this one from Izipizi. But there is no better way to tell than by putting them on your face for real. So if you can, always try before you buy. Ellie Violet Bramley is a writer who has been delving into style and what it means for nearly a decade – mostly for the Guardian's fashion desk

Food Network to pay ‘tribute' to Anne Burrell on new season of ‘Worst Cooks': When to watch
Food Network is planning to honor the memory of late chef and TV personality Anne Burrell with 'tribute[s] to Anne each week' on the new season of 'Worst Cooks in America,' the network confirmed to People. A representative for Food Network was not immediately available to comment on what the tributes would entail. Burrell had starred on the reality cooking show since its debut in 2010, serving as a mentor to some of the 'worst cooks' each season. The 29th season of the show, subtitled 'Talented and Terrible,' was filmed before Burell's death on June 17. The debut episode of the new season airs July 28 at 9 p.m. EDT on Food Network. Food Network and parent company Warner Bros. Discovery had previously announced plans to highlight programming featuring Burrell, first during a special programming block that aired about a week after her death. 'Anne Burrell was a one-of-a-kind talent whose loss is being deeply felt by family, friends and fans,' Betsy Ayala, the head of content (food) at Warner Bros. Discovery, said in a statement shared in a press release last month. 'With these special programming events, we hope to honor Anne and celebrate her impact on Food Network and beyond, and to offer fans a way to remember her passion and culinary prowess that ran through everything she did,' Ayala continued. Burrell, 55, was pronounced dead after she was found unresponsive in her New York home in June. Last week, the medical examiner's office in NYC determined Burrell's cause of death to be 'acute intoxication due to the combined effects of diphenhydramine, ethanol, cetirizine, and amphetamine.' Her manner of death was listed as suicide. The late chef was well-known for her appearances on multiple Food Network shows. She grew up in upstate New York and attended Canisius College in Buffalo, earning a degree in English and communications, her Food Network biography reads. She later attended the Culinary Institute of America and the Italian Culinary Institute for Foreigners. She also worked in some of New York City's top restaurants. 'Anne was a remarkable person and culinary talent — teaching, competing and always sharing the importance of food in her life and the joy that a delicious meal can bring,' Food Network wrote of Burrell on the day of her passing. 'Our thoughts are with Anne's family, friends and fans during this time of tremendous loss.' Burrell is survived by her husband, Stuart Claxton, whom she married in 2021. They share a son, Javier, from Claxton's previous marriage.
