'Absolute Travesty': Fans Shocked By Huge Awards Snub For 'The Handmaid's Tale' And Elisabeth Moss
After an absolutely action-packed finale that had viewers on the edge of their seats and critics lapping up each plot-turn, many would've thought The Handmaid's Tale was a sure thing in yesterday's Emmy announcements. However fans (and critics, many of whom had predicted a slew of nominations for the show and its star Elisabeth Moss) of The Handmaid's Tale were shocked yesterday when the huge awards show - arguably the biggest television awards in the world - snubbed the show. The Handmaid's Tale received only one nomination for Cherry Jones, who played Holly, June's mother. She was nominated in the category of Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series. Many expected the show to sweep the nominations board as it was the last series and the final chance to celebrate a show that's been loved by so many fans. But a nomination for Elisabeth Moss' portrayal of June, which saw her experience every emotion under the sun and lead a revolution in the show's sixth series, seemed a dead cert. Her failure to receive an acting nomination was marked as one of the biggest snubs by most industry publications, many of which had themselves put her at the top of the list for mentions. Some have speculated about the political nature of the show and whether that made nominating it particularly tricky. Of course it could just be that, in a particularly strong year for television, the show was crowded out. Severance and Adolescence in particular led the lists of show received 27 nominations and The Studio beat Ted Lasso's previous record for nominations for a new show with 23 mentions. Other shows that got nominations include Andor, The Diplomat, The Last Of Us, Slow Horses, The White Lotus and Paradise. So, while it is a crowded year, fans will also wonder why the quality of The Handmaid's Tale didn't make that cut. The show has had nominations before - 77 in total - and, in 2017, Elisabeth Moss won the award for Lead Actress In A Drama Series. That year the show also won Outstanding Drama Series. Regardless, fans of the show were outraged on social media. On X, one fan wrote: 'The Handmaid's Tale got no Emmy nominations? Absolute travesty.' Another cited the performances of Yvonne Strahovski, saying: 'The fact that the handmaid's tale ended and this queen never got to hold an emmy for her portrayal of Serena Joy should be considered a crime.'

The Princess Of Wales Brought Charlotte, George And William To Wimbledon
THE RUNDOWN On Sunday, Kate Middleton made an appearance at Wimbledon for the second day in a row, this time joined by her husband, Prince William, and their two older children, Princess Charlotte and Prince George. Their youngest, Prince Louis, did not join the family in their box at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club this time. The group was there to watch Italy's Jannik Sinner compete against Spain's Carlos Alcaraz, with Princess Kate ultimately handing Sinner the Gentlemen's Singles Trophy for his win. For the event, Kate wore a royal blue dress with a deep V-neckline, padded shoulders, and a long flowing skirt. On her feet, she wore a pair of Ralph Lauren Collection Celia Calfskin Pumps and accessorized with hoop earrings and a pendant necklace. In the audience, the Princess of Wales beat the heat with a straw hat and a white fan. Charlotte was carrying her own matching fan, which she and her mom waved in between sharing comments on the game. The young princess was wearing a white dress trimmed in black with scalloped sleeves. She had her hair half up in braids and wore white patent leather Mary Janes. Kate was appointed as patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in 2016 by Queen Elizabeth. On her lapel, the princess wore a purple and green ribbon in honor of her role. On Friday, she sported the same bow while watching Amanda Anisimova face off against Iga Swiatek in the women's singles final. For that event, Kate dressed in a white blazer top belted at the waist with a pleated white skirt. She presented the Venus Rosewater Dish to Swiatek for her win. On July 2, during a visit to Colchester Hospital in Essex, Kate opened up about figuring out her new life balance following cancer treatment. The princess announced she was in remission in January of this year after completing chemotherapy last September. 'You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment. Treatment's done, then it's like, "I can crack on, get back to normal,"' she shared. 'But actually, the phase afterwards is really, really difficult.' She continued, 'You have to find your new normal and that takes it's a rollercoaster, it's not smooth, like you expect it to be. But the reality is you go through hard times.'

4 Steps To Maintaining A Bob Haircut, From Regular Trims To At-Home Care
Whether it's a statement-making blunt bob or a polished Italian bob, this short hairstyle is no doubt a defining look for 2025. But now that you've committed to a bob, maintaining it can feel tricky, especially if you've transitioned from having longer locks. 'The main concern is that a bob can look grown out quite quickly, so clients can end up wanting for an appointment more often,' says senior stylist Andreas Wild at Larry King, Notting Hill. He's a fan of a lived-in bob, but admits that those with fine hair can find that their bob looks heavier at the bottom without as it grows out. It's all down to preference, and hair grows at different rates for everyone but in general, Wild recommends a trim every 7 weeks. Having a good relationship with your hairstylist helps, too. 'I have clients who will send me a picture of their hair after a few weeks to ask me if they are ready to come in if they aren't sure themselves,' says Wild. Wild's best advice for keeping your bob in top form? 'Getting it cut regularly, working with your natural texture and asking your hairdresser for advice on how to maintain it best,' shares Wild, as it's not a one-size-fits-all approach. 'Make sure you have a proper consultation, ask your stylist to analyse your face shape, talk about your lifestyle and be honest here - to make sure your bob works for you.' As for trimming your bob at home? Just don't do it – it's not worth sacrificing a great cut! A hair oil that suits your hair type will help to hydrate the hair and keep it healthy. Wild is a fan of Larry King's Spoilt For Choice as it 'contains rosemary oil to encourage growth'. Team ELLE also rates Kérastase Glaze Drops for fine hair, Olaplex No7 Bonding Oil for processed and dyed locks and Bread Beauty Supply Hair Oil for curls. 'Investing in a great scalp scrub is a good idea, just like you exfoliate your face every so often, it's important to do that with your scalp too,' adds Wild. 'A great little trick if you don't want to wash your hair too much, straighten your hair instead and/or go over with some tongs,' says Wild. 'It can make your bob look brand new.' That said, shorter lengths doesn't mean you should scrimp on hair protection. If you're using heated tools, make sure to use a heat protector beforehand to avoid frying your ends and incorporate a nourishing mask weekly to keep your strands hydrated and glossy.

A Pixie Cut For Thick Hair Can Be Transformational - Here's How To Do it Right
Pixie cuts are the ultimate statement haircut; short, choppy and completely exposing in the best way. Where long hair can be used as an accessory to shy behind, there's no hiding behind a bold, powerful pixie cut. On fine hair, the cut can be relatively effortless to achieve – for naturally thick hair, it's a completely different story. Similarly to getting a dramatic bob haircut, nobody should venture into the world of pixie cuts without the help of an expert stylist. 'Having a pixie isn't just a haircut. It's a whole vibe,' says Hershesons' hairstylist Dale Herne. 'With short hair, there's something really empowering about it. But it's not just about the hair itself. You've got to think about how it's going to work with your lifestyle, your energy, and your overall look.' Here, he outlines the need-to-know details of getting a pixie cut for thick hair, including how to style it. Unfortunately, getting a pixie cut for thick hair is far more complicated than just buzzing or snipping your lengths. There are many elements to consider beyond just looking at your face shape and hair texture. 'When you're getting a pixie on thick hair, it's got to be cut extremely well,' explains Herne. 'You need to loosen it up at the root when removing weight or adding texture — otherwise, it can end up looking like a little microphone, or even a small afro. A pixie is all about movement and texture. If it's cut too thick or heavy, it'll just sit there as a silhouette of hair, instead of giving you that lived-in texture and flow.' While we always recommend taking a reference photo to your appointment too, it's important to remember than not all styles will necessarily work for thicker hair densities. 'When it comes to what type of pixie suits thick hair, that's a tricky one. Because when you're cutting hair, it's never one-size-fits-all,' he adds. 'It's about what suits the person. Their face shape, their bone structure, and their character.' That being said, when done right, a pixie cut for thick hair can be totally transformational. Just don't skip the consultation appointment first. Surprisingly, pixie cuts also require a certain level of styling finesse. It's very rarely as simple as waking up and stepping out as is. 'Whatever pixie you go for, the key to styling thick hair is to keep the texture soft and defined,' says Herne. 'Misting in Air Dry Spray UV gives that undone, natural finish — adds grit, definition, and movement — without weighing the hair down. Plus, the built-in UV protection helps keep the hair healthy and protected, especially in the summer.' ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.
