Taylor Swift's Ex Welcomes First Baby
Calvin Harris is officially a father after welcoming a baby boy with wife Vick Hope. '20th of July our boy arrived. Micah is here!' Harris, 41, shared via Instagram on Monday, August 4. 'Just so grateful. We love you so much Micah.' The Scottish artist included a series of photos of his son's home birth while praising his 'superhero' wife writing, 'I am in complete awe of her primal wisdom!' 'My boys,' Hope, 35, wrote as she reshared Harris' post to her Instagram Story. Micah is the first child for the couple, who were first linked in early 2022 and tied the knot in a private Ibiza wedding ceremony in September 2023. Harris and Hope have been vocal of their desire to maintain privacy in their relationship. "I think there's something about my relationship that feels so sacred... it's protection. We're protecting ourselves, protecting our energy,' she told Cosmo UK in July 2024. While the pair decided not to make an official pregnancy announcement, Hope showed off her growing baby bump on social media after revealing on her radio show that she would be taking maternity leave. Prior to meeting his wife, Harris was famously linked to Taylor Swift after the pair were introduced by mutual pal Ellie Goulding in February 2015. Their June 2016 split turned ugly after it was revealed that Swift co-wrote the 'We Found Love' artist's hit 'This Is What You Came For' using the pseudonym Nils Sjöberg. 'I figure if you're happy in your new relationship you should focus on that instead of trying to tear your ex bf down for something to do,' he wrote on social media at the time. Swifties have spotted supposed Easter eggs alluding to her past relationship with Harris in the Grammy winner's music including 'Look What You Made Me Do' and 'High Infidelity'. Taylor Swift's Ex Welcomes First Baby first appeared on Men's Journal on Aug 4, 2025 Solve the daily Crossword

The Best Lipstick Shades for Every Zodiac Sign
Lip products have a unique power to elevate any makeup routine. Sure, a good dark circle concealer can erase tiredness, and a good cream blush can add a nice flush to your face, but nothing quite adds instant sparkle to your face like the perfect lipstick or lip gloss. And just like your self-care routine or eye makeup, the impact of your lip product can feel even stronger when it's in sync with your birth chart. Now, this is not a certified fact (we see you sceptics lurking), but more of a beauty observation. And with SO many product options out there, a little celestial guidance can be needed sometimes, right? Ahead, the best lip color according to your zodiac sign (check out your moon and rising too!). Warm, fiery, and passionate, a burnt orangey-red is basically Aries in lipstick form. Being the light in any room you step in, of course, a power shade was going to be your pick. We know you're fussy particular with your beauty choices, fair Taurus, so you'll love Vieve Poutder lip formulas. They were created in South Korea and contain a plethora of great skin-nourishing ingredients like vitamin E and hyaluronic acid, and deliver a matte texture that suits your active lifestyle. The shade Ripple is a deep rose hue that works for all skin tones. Yep, we knew your interest piqued when you read 'Odyssey' because a Gemini would have to use a lip gloss that's an adventure in a tube. Milk Odyssey lip gloss is a cushion-y gloss that's flecked with iridescent shimmery particles and we know it speaks to your youthful character. But if you want something that speaks to your more ruthless, cut-throat side, a deep, dark brownish red like NARS Explicit Lipstick in Ravenous is perfect for you. Cosmo UK's very own Cancerian Senior Features Editor, Jenni Savin, swears by this classic red, Urban Decay's Vice Matte Lipstick in 714 and it's completely befitting to all the best Cancerian traits. Loyalty is easy with a classic blue-toned red that suits all and can enhance your other features (make your eyes and your teeth look more sparkly) which we know you're all about. What says 'look at me' more than juicy, full lips? A plumping gloss in nude has to be your go-to, Leo. You thrive when you look your best but in that 'I'll naturally this gorgeous' kinda way which is why a nude hue is surprisingly your signature. When it comes to plumping glosses though, given your love for pampering and hatred for discomfort you need one that isn't going to be too painful or irritating, luckily, our resident Leo, Beauty Writer Lia Mappoura, recommends the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Big Lip Plumpgasm glosses. Virgo, we know you're the quality controllers of the zodiac, and nothing less than the best will ever cross your lips. BUT we also know that beneath that critical and classic exterior, you like a little bit of cheeky fun. Your perfect lip match? Isamaya Liplacq. Not only is it chic (the packaging, hello!), the color is unique, and the formula is multitasking with hyaluronic acid to hydrate and plump the lips to boot. Dearest Libra friends, we know it kills you to make a snappy decision, so why ponder over whether you should use a lip balm to nourish or a gloss for shine, and pick both? The Violette_FR Lip Nectars contain squalane, shea butter, ceramides and hyaluronic acid to repair but gives lips a hit of color too. Plus, we know you love for effortless beauty has Parisian flair written all over it. Sexy Scorpio, a sultry brown like Fenty Gloss Bomb Heat in Hot Choclit needs a space in your handbag. It's a universal nude that looks so good on all skin tones—plus it has enough pigment in it that it creates a 'wow' factor, but isn't so pigmented that you have to worry about too much transfer when you're smooching your partner. Also, the subtle lip plumping effect makes your lips look extra kissable. Bounding, fearless, and optimistic, your best lip product was never going to be a nude pink, was it? Sag, you're trailblazing and rebellious, so a red—like MAC's Silky Matte in—will match your boldness perfectly (and stay put for hours too). The hardest-working star sign needs a product that delivers just as hard, right? It's why I, Cosmo UK's resident Capricorn, reach for this tinted lip oil time and time again. Is it a tint, a gloss, an oil, or a stain? Girl, it's a hybrid of all three but does all of them SO well. It's not sticky but leaves a cushiony softness on the lips, and when the oil wears away, you still have a beautiful tint on the lips that is anything but dry. Your creative, care-free nature is so befitting for a fun, standout color—it brings out the eccentricity in you—like the new Too Faced Cloud Crush Whipped Lip & Cheek Lip Color in Super Candy Clouds. Romantic and magical, we love a Piscean. As a watery sign, a more liquid formula suits you to the ground and something that gives you that lover's flush or the look of a just-kissed lip? Yes, please. And we know that you'll love the fact that Benetint works just as well for the cheeks and lips because it's basically beauty witchcraft. Keeks Reid is the Beauty Director at Cosmopolitan UK.

Selena Gomez Launches Rare Beauty Perfume
Rare Beauty is at it again, releasing game-changing products in a market that feels hard to innovate in like there Soft Pinch Liquid Blush and Tinted Lip Oils. With Rare Eau de Parfum, Selena Gomez's brand has stepped into the world of fine fragrance for the first time, and I haven't been so impressed with a celebrity perfume in years. Team Cosmo UK was lucky enough to get our hands on the much-anticipated launch over two months ago to test it before it hit shelves. So yes, I've been carrying around this little vial of top-secret juice for weeks, fibbing whenever someone asks me, 'You smell great, what are you wearing?' And now, finally, we can spill the tea. So, below I'm sharing my thoughts on the new launch that hits Sephora on August 7. A full size bottle (50ml) will retail for $75, but the scene will also be available for purchase in a travel size (10mil) for $30. Grown-up, yet girlish and feminine without the need to be floral. To me, it smells like nuzzling into a fuzzy knit co-ord set that already has some of your favorite perfume on it from the last time you had it on. On first spray, and when you sniff it in the bottle, it really smells quite sweet—you can only overwhelmingly smell the caramel, pistachio and vanilla melding together and while it really smells like a fun, youthful bubble bath, I immediately thought I would hate it. If I were to judge it by its opening notes only, this would be an entirely different review. As it settles in, though, the sandalwood really pulls through, and it becomes a scent you will be obsessed with. It wears really well on me, as time passes it becomes a scent I like more and more throughout the day, to the point that I feel a little reluctant to re-spray, in case it ruins what the scent has become. A note on projection, now I don't think anyone was expecting a #beastmode type of perfume from our girl Selena, but in case you were wondering this is a personal fragrance. When people would comment on my scent, it would be when they reached in for a hug, not when I walked into a room. Thanks to the pink pepper at the top and the skin musks at the base, it has a real sense of Glossier You about it, and the buttercream that specifically gives Glossier You Rêve that lingering vanilla sweetness is super similar in Rare Eau de Parfum. Beauty can be so slapdash when it comes to inclusivity, and especially when it comes to accessibility being top of mind during product creation. But, for this launch, the team worked with a certified hand therapist and a team of packaging engineers to create an ergonomic fragrance bottle that makes dispensing the bottle comfortable for those with dexterity issues.

Jessica's nightie dresses in Netflix's 'Too Much' is the PJ inspo we need, this is exactly where to get them
Too Much has now officially landed on Netflix and we're already obsessed with Megan Stalter's character's wardrobe. Specifically, the super cute night dresses she's repeatedly spotted wearing throughout the 10-part series. If you have yet to watch – it literally came out this morning [Thursday 10 July], so no shame if you've been a little busy – the show follows Jessica (played by Stalter, Cosmo UK's latest digital cover star NBD), an American who moves to the UK following a messy breakup. Despite striving for a life of solitude, yet having a romanticised idea in mind of what living in London will be like, she ends up falling for musician Felix (played by Will Sharpe). Written by Lena Dunham and developed alongside her musician husband, Luis Felber, the romantic-comedy series is loosely based on the true story of the American writer and director's own move to the UK, where she met and married Felber. But back to the fashion. As the show's title suggests, Jessica is perceived as a lot by the Brits she encounters, and that extends to her clothing. Consisting of bright neon hues, exaggerated silhouettes and OTT prints (like her floral printed rain mac, an archival Celia B design FYI), her wardrobe also features a number of night dresses from independent British brand, If Only If. As well as the Clover and Pandora dresses, white cotton designs featuring adorable frilled necklines and cuffs, Jessica also dons the India short nightie in a recurrent gingham with the label even making a coordinating nightie for her dog. Unfortunately, the dog nighties aren't currently listed on the site to buy, but we imagine it's only a matter of time. I mean, I want one and I don't even have a dog... 'It's an extraordinary feeling to see the beautiful Meg Stalter in this hugely anticipated show on Netflix wearing one of our nightgowns,' Emily Campbell, Creative Director of If Only If, shares. 'I will always see ourselves as a small, family-run business, so utterly surreal pinch-me moments like this are such a thrill.' And on that note, if you'll excuse me as I have to get back to binge-watching Too Much. Follow Alex on Instagram. Alexandria Dale is the Digital Fashion Writer at Cosmopolitan UK.

What We Know About Sabrina Carpenter's New Song, 'Manchild'
Sabrina Carpenter heard we needed another song of the summer, and she's here to deliver. After the global success of her megahit, 'Espresso,' which defined 2024 beyond the scorching temps, the petite pop star is back for more with her new single, 'Manchild.' She teased the track with a blurred lo-fi clip of her hitchhiking on the side of a highway in sky-high heels and daisy dukes shorter than my last situationship. Of course, Sab's fans and friends couldn't contain themselves, responding with pure excitement. 'Thank god,' her stylist, Jared Ellner, wrote, while her Short n' Sweet tourmate and Cosmo UK cover girl Rachel Chinouriri added, 'I'm omw to pick you up babes, forget them x.' 'This one's about you!!' she wrote on social media upon the single's official announcement. Per billboards plastered across the I-69 highway (lol, touché, Sabrina), some of its lyrics might include 'Amen / Hey men' and 'I swear they choose me, I'm not choosing them.' Fans speculate that these lines could be about her ex, Barry Keoghan, though nothing has been confirmed. 'Sabrina's not holding back and if 'Manchild' is half as sharp as that caption, we're in for a bold, catchy callout,' one fan wrote on social media while another chimed in, 'I just know she's gonna cook Barry so hard.' Sabrina and Barry kept their relationship relatively lowkey (ya know, aside from the 'Please Please Please' music video) as they dated for nearly a year before reportedly breaking things off last December. The song, which is rumored to be the lead single to her seventh album, drops on Thursday, June 5, at 8 p.m. EST. It comes just in time for her headlining festival run this summer at Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, and Primavera Sound. 'Manchild' also follows Sabrina's sixth record, Short n' Sweet, which won a Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album earlier this year. And, for the record: it's already gone triple platinum in my house, though it's not even out yet.
