Veronica Beard and Head Sportswear Just Dropped a Collab—Shop It Now
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Whether you're on the court or watching from the sidelines, there's something transfixing about the sight of a tennis ball slicing through the air—driven by a perfect blend of power and grace. That moment becomes even more vivid when you're fully equipped for the occasion. Veronica Beard understands the power of looking the part—and feeling confident while doing it. Whether you're in the boardroom, running errands, or powering through a high-speed rally, what you wear can shape your day-to-day. Just in time for summer, the brand has partnered with Head Sportswear to launch a chic, limited-edition capsule collection of tennis apparel and activewear. NCAA tennis champion and content creator Ayan Broomfield, who stars in the campaign for the capsule, knows firsthand the impact of style on performance. 'After playing tennis for over 20 years, I've definitely learned how to find confidence on and off the court with my style,' she tells ELLE. 'This collection encapsulates that, and I hope that anyone who wears these pieces feels the same way. I always use the motto: Look good, feel good, play good. I'm such a huge believer that what you wear impacts how you feel. You can take that from being on the court, but also incorporate it into your daily life.' Priced between $80 and $298, the collection includes six thoughtfully designed pieces: a sleek tennis dress (a standout for Broomfield), a versatile skort, a classic tank top, a coordinated sports bra and leggings set, and a lightweight track jacket ideal for warmups. 'Tennis dresses are such a staple,' Broomfield says. 'But this one in particular is sporty, feminine, and feels amazing to wear. I can throw it on with sneakers or style it with a jacket—it transitions seamlessly from day to night. It's definitely my favorite piece.' It's no surprise that function and versatility are central to Broomfield's approach to fashion. As an athlete, social media personality, and philanthropist—while also traveling the globe to support her longtime partner, pro tennis star Frances Tiafoe—she leads a fast-paced, multifaceted life. 'My number one priority is always finding that balance between function and fashion,' she says. 'This collection lets me move freely while still feeling stylish.' For Broomfield, functional fashion is more than practicality—it's a form of self-expression. 'I remember going to the US Open and seeing the Williams sisters, especially Serena. Her outfits were so out-there and screamed personality and confidence,' she recalls. 'In other sports, athletes wear jerseys; it's a team thing. Tennis is so individual, and that gives you the freedom to really express who you are through what you wear.'

Former arena site in one Colorado city receives no bids for redevelopment, nearby businesses share concerns
No Colorado developers put in bids at site of former 1stBank Center, nearby businesses are worried No Colorado developers put in bids at site of former 1stBank Center, nearby businesses are worried No Colorado developers put in bids at site of former 1stBank Center, nearby businesses are worried If you've driven on Highway 36 between Denver and Boulder in recent months, you've probably noticed something is different in Broomfield. A large sign that used to announce upcoming concerts next to the highway is the only indicator that a music and entertainment venue used to be right next to the Boulder Turnpike. CBS The former 1stBank Center is now a dirt lot in the Arista neighborhood. The demolition of the 19-year-old building cost about $3 million. City council members voted to tear down the building last year as high upkeep costs outpaced income. To redevelop the land the city opened up the lot to bids from developers in February. However, three months later, not a single developer submitted a proposal. How has this impacted local businesses? Some business owners in the Arista area previously told CBS Colorado they were worried about the loss of business from the venue's closure. Now, with the knowledge that there are no bids on the land, there are a lot of questions. Kayla Leavitt opened up her restaurant Proto's Pizza down the street in 2008-- shortly after the arena opened. Leavitt told CBS Colorado they opened the business primarily because the 1stBank Center – also known as the Broomfield Events Center – was close by. When it was open, the venue brought in big-name acts like Green Day and Dead & Company. "We had the 1stBank Center right there," Leavitt said, "Anytime there was a show, there would be a line out the door." But the venue struggled during the pandemic and never quite recovered, eventually resulting in its closure and costing the city millions of dollars. The closure also means less fans walking through the Arista neighborhood, which has cut down customers to some businesses like Proto's. CBS "Now it's like you have to actually, like, scrimp and save during the summertime so that you can make it through the winter," Leavitt said. "Because everything west of us didn't make it." Still, some residents and vendors have seen the community become more residentially focused, with their customer base changing from fans to regulars in the apartments built around the former arena. One resident of a nearby apartment complex sharing they appreciate the extensive parking options without the large events. Still, without any bids on redevelopment, businesses like Proto's might have to wait even longer for a replacement to the empty lot. After no developers bid, what's next for the space? The city released a statement to CBS Colorado about the fact that no developers submitted proposals for the space, sharing in part: "Several developers indicated that they were considering making a proposal, but market and investment considerations resulted in their decision not to proceed at this time. Broomfield staff is working on a strategy for an approach for a future mixed-use development for the site and will provide an update to City Council as the strategy is developed." However, Leavitt said she's skeptical about the possibility for another mixed-use building amid the others already in the neighborhood. CBS "I hear, like a lot, that they want to put, like a mixed residential in there. We already have those. [We need] something that's going to draw people in, like a bowling alley, a grocery store, a literally anything, but apartments." Right now, the bidding process has been closed, and the city did not clarify the city's strategy moving forward. Whatever comes next, Proto's plans to stay at the heart of its Colorado community. "We'll hold on till our last dying breath, even if it's just me inside this building, I will not close," Leavitt said.

Plane door opening after takeoff in Colorado may have caused deadly plane crash, early report suggests
While the cause of a deadly plane crash in Colorado that killed a pilot and a passenger earlier this month is still under investigation, airport officials believe an in-flight emergency shortly after takeoff may have contributed to it. Air traffic control radio recordings suggest the plane's door popped open shortly after takeoff. The plane, a Beechcraft 95-B55 Baron, crashed on the morning of Saturday, May 17 in Broomfield after taking off from Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport. The Boulder County Coroner's Office identified the two people on board as 80-year-old Eugene Knutson and 74-year-old James Gelaude. While it's not yet clear who was flying the plane, Gelaude has had a pilot's license since 2010, according to a Federal Aviation Administration database, and Knutson does not. "While the cause of the accident is under investigation," a statement from the airport says, "early reports suggest the pilot experienced an in-flight emergency shortly after takeoff and attempted to return to the airport." Smoke near Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport can be seen after a deadly plane crash on Saturday, May 17, 2025. CBS Flight data from the flight tracking service FlightAware shows the plane was only in the air for a minute, having taken off at 10:01 a.m. and crashing at 10:02 a.m., while the plane was turning around. According to air traffic radio recordings, the pilot appears to tell air traffic controllers that one of the doors opened unexpectedly. "We're going to have to go back and re-land. We've got the door popped open," the pilot says in the recording. "We can hardly hear you, sir." Part of the audio is garbled and indecipherable. Two aviation experts -- both experienced pilots and flight instructors -- weighed in on the possibility of the door causing the crash. Erika Armstrong, a pilot, flight instructor, and aviation safety advisor in the Denver metro area, said doors opening mid-flight in small planes is almost guaranteed. "So sad. Pilots, heads up: an aircraft door or access panel is going to open on you. It's not IF but WHEN. It's loud, startling, and everything not strapped down is going to head out the door, but it's not a big deal! Fly the plane. This pilot called ATC and reported that a door had come open and was turning back to the airport," she wrote in a Facebook post on the day of the crash. "Visualize it happening right now. For most aircraft, you can't get the door closed due to the differential pressure, so don't fight it." Robert Katz, a flight instructor in Dallas, told CBS News Colorado that he teaches his students about doors opening and tries to prepare them for the eventuality of it. He said doors popping open can be loud, but don't typically affect flight. "At that point, he's not flying the plane, paying attention to altimeter, and flight controls," he said. "This shouldn't have happened." People living near the airport have been raising safety concerns to city, county, and airport officials. While some of those concerns have been focused on lead in the fuel being expelled by the planes flying over their homes, airport officials also acknowledged concerns surrounding plane crashes. First responders and investigators are seen at the site of a plane crash in Broomfield, Colorado on Saturday, May 17, 2025. CBS Erick Dahl, director of Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport, extended his condolences to the families of Knutson and Gelaude and said he aims to be responsive to those concerns. "We understand and share the concern this incident has raised among our neighbors, especially those who have questioned the safety of general aviation operations near populated areas," he said in a statement on Wednesday. "The airport takes every safety concern seriously, and we are committed to being transparent and responsive."
