From Montecarlo to Rome, LPGA players slayed their vacations, including three engagements
The LPGA had an off week between events in France and Scotland, giving players the rare chance to unplug from the tour grind and enjoy the sights. Lauren Coughlin, defending champion at this week's ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open, went home to Sweden with Maja Stark to unwind before a two-week stretch in the United Kingdom that culminates with the season's final major in Wales. Last year, the two friends squared off against each other in a Solheim Cup singles match that was so tight they halved. "Had a lot of fun," said Coughlin of staying with Stark's family in the tiny town of Abbekas. "Played a couple rounds of golf in Sweden, and got to experience sailing and her kind of small village that she lives in, so it was very cool." Japan's Yuri Yoshida toured Belgium while the Jutanugarn sisters enjoyed the Swiss Alps with their mom. Several players even got engaged. Yealimi Noh, who began 2025 with her first career LPGA victory at the Founders Cup, will no doubt tee it up in this week's Scottish with a bright smile on her face after getting engaged to Jackson Suh. Noh wasn't alone in having a life-changing moment last week. Gigi Stoll proposed to her partner in stunning Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland. Former AIG Women's British Open winner Georgia Hall announced her engagement to Paul Dunne, a former winner on the DP World Tour who has caddied for her on the LPGA. The couple posted a photograph from Gleneagles. Meanwhile, Andrea Lee spent the week in Bordeaux after taking a share of fifth at Evian, her fourth career top-10 in a major. Cassie Porter stayed in France for a family vacation, taking an epic photo in front of the Eiffel Tower. Nanna Koerstz Madsen spent time in Rome, touring the Colosseum. Madelene Sagstrom went home to Sweden to spend time with her family doing her absolute favorite thing: picking mushrooms in the forest. Rookie Rio Takeda took in the sights in Paris and London. Former No. 1 Jin Young Ko turned 30 last week at Evian and then kept the good vibes going in Montecarlo.

Molly-Mae Hague 'has no life' - I don't feel sorry for her
'I will get to the end of summer having not done one social fun thing. I haven't a life!' That's what Molly-Mae Hague complained about on her YouTube vlog recently and I was horrified by such a claim. This spring and summer alone, Molly-Mae has (deep breath): attended Wimbledon in a prime centre court seat with Evian; bought a £86,000 campervan for a family holiday in the Isle of Man; and celebrated her 26th birthday in Disneyland Paris. And during the rest of the year to date she's enjoyed a luxurious 'work trip' to St Moritz (the 'torture' of which was heavily documented in her Amazon Prime documentary); been to Dubai – twice; jetted off to support Tommy Fury's boxing in a five star Budapest hotel;. If she doesn't categorise all this as 'fun', or her having 'a life', I fear she will never be happy. Frankly, her complaining isn't just tiresome, it's tone-deaf. While I am sure there are struggles involved with being in the public eye, influencing, by comparison to almost every other job out there, is an inherently fun job. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video She should count herself incredibly lucky to be able to make so much money doing something so largely untaxing. Let's get one thing straight: Being an influencer is not a hard job. Being a nurse is hard, as is being a state school teacher, or a criminal lawyer, or a sheep farmer on a winter's day or a bricklayer in the heat. I could go on. So I don't care what she says, her job is essentially getting paid a disproportionate amount for having a nice time. One sponsored Instagram post from Molly-Mae can reportedly make her over £10,000 – forgive me but, this is an obscene amount of money, is it not? Especially given that it's not exactly a huge output for the returns. And yet she complains that her life is either kids or work when all she wants is to 'go to a beer garden' (which apparently is what would make her summer fun). 'If it's not work and kids I am not doing anything.' The 'poor' influencer told her sister Zoe – who has recently come under fire herself for fleeing a holiday in Bali after 48 hours because it didn't meet her expectations. 'I don't remember the last time I did my hair and makeup and put an outfit on for something that wasn't work related,' Molly-Mae, whose job is dressing in nice outfits, added. Granted, it's always been her ordinariness that's made her so captivating with followers. Her audience has loved her since she wandered onto Love Island as a beige-loving girl from a normal upbringing and they've heralded her as their big sister who just 'gets' them ever since. But these latest comments make it impossible to feel sorry for her because there's nothing normal about her current world view. If reports of her 2024 to 2025 income are to be believed, then Molly-Mae – who already has a reported £6 million net worth – took home around £2.5 million. Beer gardens are therefore well within reach. As is the possibility of getting a nanny for Bambi or sending her to nursery so she can get the requested me-time. The reality is a quarter of UK mums are forced to quit work due to how expensive childcare is in proportion to their wage. Molly-Mae's ability to work therefore is a luxury for mums in 2025. While everyone has justified problems no matter how rich, famous and privileged, Molly-Mae has no right to voice such specific complaints. Her audience are likely on the average UK salary of £37,430, but for Molly-Mae to take home the same she would only need to do 1.49% of the work load she is currently 'struggling' under. More Trending I'd like to see her try and manage that. Molly-Mae wants us to 'normalise' not doing anything, 'for the girls that are going to get to the end of summer and not done one fun thing,' she says. If she wants to do that then maybe she shouldn't be dumping a load of shiny photos of her incredible looking summer – which likely cost more than most people earn in a lifetime of soul-destroying, difficult and unglamorous graft – in the same breath. Talk to us about your problems Molly-Mae by all means, but talk to your sister about your workload in private and please, for the love of god, don't complain about your lifestyle to us. Got a story? If you've got a celebrity story, video or pictures get in touch with the entertainment team by emailing us celebtips@ calling 020 3615 2145 or by visiting our Submit Stuff page – we'd love to hear from you.

Air France captain slams ‘shameless' business class flyer for being a slob
One business class flyer turned their seat into a disaster zone — and now the internet's gagging on the in-flight fallout. An Air France Boeing 777 tri-captain (type rating instructor) blew the whistle on one seriously messy passenger this week, posting four jaw-dropping photos to X (formerly Twitter) that show what one might call a snackpocalypse in the skies. The shots — uploaded by Pierre-Yves André (@zepyaf), who claims to be a Boeing 777 TRI Captain — show several open snack boxes, half-mauled cookies, a plethora of biscuit bits and crumbs, crumpled wrappers and a lonely half-drunk bottle of Evian. Amid the crumbs and chaos? A pair of black headphones — the only thing this sky slob left in place. 'Hello @PassengerShame,' André captioned the post, tagging the notorious account known for spotlighting the worst offenders of mile-high manners. 3 The pics — posted by Boeing 777 captain @zepyaf — reveal a biz class seat trashed with busted snack boxes, cookie carnage, and a sad, half-sipped Evian bottle of water. Pierre Yves-Andre/X Viewers of the photos were understandably horrified, and replied to the original tweet while sharing their thoughts. 'Why are people so vulgar???' one wrote as another added, 'I'd be embarrassed to leave a seat like that.' 3 Shocked viewers had a field day in the replies, roasting the mile-high mess with snarky tweets and sky-high disgust. Pierre Yves-Andre/X Someone else replied, 'Oh my god… Shameless…' and followed up with a sympathetic note, 'I feel bad for the cleaners!' An additional X user wondered, 'Could this have been a child sitting here who was traveling with an adult? No adult would do this, or…?' Turns out there are plenty of adults who make flying the skies less-than-friendly. As previously reported by The Post, one Los Angeles influencer sparked sky-high outrage last month after whipping up a DIY salad — complete with boiled eggs — mid-flight from LA to Paris. The mile-high meal, which she assembled from Ziplocs of arugula, avocado, and celery at her seat, stunk up social media before the viral video was taken down, per Jam Press. 3 Turns out plenty of grown-ups still act like overhead-bin buffoons at 30,000 feet. Just last month, a Los Angeles influencer scrambled up sky-high fury by assembling a DIY egg salad mid-flight from LA to Paris — stench included. – The @kitschenista's airborne plate didn't go over-easy with viewers — many scrambled to the comments to roast her 'smelly' snack. 'New fear unlocked: I get on a plane and the person next to me starts making an egg salad,' one wrote beneath her viral Instagram post. Another chimed in, 'Ya eggs/ fish in a small space like that makes you hella disrespectful. If you wanna bring dinner, heck ya, but like, c'mon girl.' As The Post also noted back in October 2024, a Playboy model caused turbulence in first class after cracking open a stinky, egg-filled lunch mid-flight — leaving fellow passengers scrambling for fresh air. Vanusa Freitas told Jam Press a flight attendant confronted her about the foul odor wafting through the cabin on a flight from London to Spain. The fitness influencer claimed the smelly meal was part of her 'very strict' diet, which helps her stay ripped for her 116K Instagram fans. But her fellow flyers weren't impressed — and hit her with the ultimate side dish: the stink-eye. In the skies these days, it seems, common courtesy is in even shorter supply than legroom.

Is Spray-On Skin Care the Secret to Better Skin?
Face mists have come a long way since the Evian spray bottles of the early aughts. Once dismissed as glorified water, today's formulations are dermatologist-backed, packed with active ingredients, and designed to do far more than momentarily cool you down. Dealing with dry, sensitive skin? Snag a hydrating spray infused with ceramides or squalane. Breakouts from sweaty, summer skin? A hypochlorous acid mist can help prevent pimples. Need grease-free UV protection that won't mess with your makeup? There's a setting spray with SPF for exactly that. Beyond their impressive array of benefits and ease of application, there's one more aspect of face mists that's worth bragging about: the best ones work with your skin care—not against it. 'Having an extremely light consistency, they can easily be layered under products to provide the foundation for the rest of your skin care routine,' says board-certified dermatologist Dr. Joshua Zeichner. 'Plus, they play nicely with other products previously applied to the skin—including makeup.' Translation: you can prime, set, refresh, repeat—all with the same mist. So, is spray-on skin care just a fleeting industry fad? Definitely not. To help you navigate the ever-growing mist market, I tapped Dr. Zeichner for his expert picks, combed through top-rated customer reviews, and personally tested dozens by spritzing my face with different elixirs for weeks. Scroll ahead for the 13 best face mists of 2025, from refreshing hydrators to dew-boosting setting sprays. Whether you're in need of a hydrating primer, mid-day refresh, or dewy finish to your makeup look, try the Kiyomi Skin Face Mist. This J-beauty spray utilizes 5-aminolevulinic acid, organic bamboo leaf extract, and hyaluronic acid to enhance collagen production and boost hydration, resulting in moisturized skin that lasts. Whether sprayed onto clean skin or a full face of makeup, it always leaves you with a glass-like glow. Key ingredients: 5-aminolevulinic acid, organic bamboo leaf extract, hyaluronic acid Size: 3.3 oz Amazon rating: 5/5 An ELLE editor says: 'This face mist has become my new obsession. I use it constantly—after my skin care routine for an extra layer of hydration, during a beach day for a refreshing, cooling effect, and as a setting spray for a glass-like sheen that's never greasy. I have extremely sensitive and acne-prone skin, and this spray has yet to cause any irritation or breakouts. I can't recommend it enough!'—Emma Aerin Becker, associate beauty e-commerce writer Praised in our hypochlorous acid spray round-up, the Tower 28 SOS Rescue Spray calms irritation and helps heal the skin's barrier upon application. My favorite way to utilize this mist is by quickly spritzing it on my face after a heated pilates class to prevent my skin from breaking out. Yess, it fights against acne, too. Key ingredients: Hypochlorous acid Size: 4 oz Sephora rating: 4.1/5 An ELLE expert says: 'This space mist contains hypochlorous acid, an ingredient that can help calm inflammation, prevent breakouts, and even address conditions like sensitivity or rosacea. It's non-irritating and won't bleach your clothing, so it can be used across all skin types as your base layer or even before bed.'—Dr. Zeichner Hailey Bieber revolutionized the look of glazed and glowing skin. The model created her skin care line, Rhode, with hydrated, dewy skin in mind, and the recently released Glazing Mist does just that. A few spritzes hydrate and refresh skin for a supple finish on the go. Key ingredients: Ectoin, ceramides Size: 2.7 oz Rhodeskin rating: 5/5An ELLE editor says: 'The Rhode Glazing Mist feels like a basic Evian water spray, but acts like skin care. It has a super-fine mist that feels incredible on the face, and is packed with ceramides and extoin that moisturize, smooth, and reinforce the skin's natural barrier. Though the formula is quite basic, it feels so refreshing and can be used at any point in your routine.'—Emma Aerin Becker A facial spray that's equally as soothing as it is hydrating? Sign us up. The Summer Fridays Jet Lag Skin Soothing Hydration Mist is infused with glycerin, ceramides, and squalane to moisturize, while green tea extract, vitamin E, and ectoin calm and soothe skin. Key ingredients: Glycerine, ceramides, squalene, ectoin Size: 1.7 oz Sephora rating: 4.6/5 A Sephora reviewer says: 'This product has been in my purse, and it's a must for refreshing my face and makeup during the day. Its compact size is perfect for on the go. The spray mist feels refreshing and leaves my skin moisturized with a nice glow. It's perfect for before makeup and for touching up during the day!' The Neutrogena Hydro Boost Setting Spray prioritizes skin care, which is why Dr. Zeichner is such a huge fan of it. 'This mist delivers hyaluronic acid along with antioxidants to hydrate the skin without messing up your makeup,' he explains. It delivers a dewy finish that locks in your look. Key ingredients: Hyaluronic acid, antioxidants Size: 3.4 oz Amazon rating: 4.5/5 An Amazon reviewer says: 'I don't just use this as setting spray. I spray my beauty blender to dampen it when I put on product and it works great. My makeup stays put all day, doesn't transfer to my clothes, and it has a very fine mist. No oiliness at all for me when using. Good clean product.' When it comes to a dewy finish, no one does it like Tatcha. The cult-favorite Luminous Dewy Skin Mist contains botanical oils and humectants that leave skin dewy, as well as hyaluronic acid to hydrate. Meanwhile, a trinity of Japanese anti-aging superfoods helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. What's not to love? Key ingredients: Okinawa red algae, squalene, silk extract Size: 1.35 oz Sephora rating: 3.9/5 A Sephora reviewer says: 'I've tried to find a dupe but nothing comes close. I use this every day as a primer before my stick foundation—especially during the winter to give my skin a layer of moisture and on flights. Leaves a perfect fine mist of moisture. To me it's worth the price since I use daily and nothing else has come close to as good.' While most face mists are formulated to hydrate dry skin, Sofie Pavitt Face's iteration was specifically designed for oily skin. Powered by niacinamide and panthenol, this spray absorbs excess oil, calms redness, and soothes irritation. Keep it in your bag to stay cool during the day—or store it in the fridge for extra cooling benefits. Key ingredients: Niacinamide, panthenol Size: 3.2 oz A Sephora reviewer says: 'This mist is a NY summer essential! Fridge to Face is an absolute lifesaver when the city heats up. That instant cooling blast not only feels amazing but actually tackles redness and keeps my skin calm. I've seen a real difference in preventing those pesky heat-induced dark spots, which used to be a major struggle. Keeping it in the fridge for an extra chill is brilliant. Seriously, if you want to beat the summer skin stress and keep your complexion clear, this is your five-star secret weapon!' As someone with very sensitive skin, I understand how scary it can be to add a new product to your routine. Fortunately, Dr. Zeichner deems Avène's Thermal Spring Water safe for everyone. 'Derived from specialized thermal water in Avène, France, this mist contains probiotic extracts that are especially useful and calming on sensitive skin,' he says. Key ingredients: Avène thermal spring water Size: 10.1 oz Amazon rating: 4.7/5 An Amazon reviewer says: 'I have rosacea and have tried almost every moisturizer to treat it. I decided to try this mist alone since I'm not outside much. Wow! It works great as a moisturizer by itself! Shake the can well and spray on your face, neck, shoulders, and it feels cool and refreshing—especially on my hot rosacea. It leaves a wonderful glow that lasts. Family and friends have commented on how much better my skin looks. It evens out my rosacea into a smooth, rosy glow. I mist my face 3-4 times a day because it feels so good. And the cost is worth it because it's a tall, hairspray-size can.' The SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Essence Facial Mist not only strengthens the skin barrier, but also immediately reduces visible redness. It's jam-packed with skin-loving ingredients—a botanical blend of cucumber, thyme, olive leaf, and rosemary extracts soothes and calms, while glycerin and hyaluronic acid hydrate. Key ingredients: Phyto botanical blend, glycerin, hyaluronic acidSize: 1.7 oz Dermstore rating: 4.1/5 A Dermstore reviewer says: 'So hydrating and works well to calm redness. I have dry, mature skin, therefore I am always looking for anything that can add a more dewy look. This is great for that. I also like that it mists evenly. It absolutely provides a nice light, but steady mist. Has a mild, fresh, natural scent. Love it!' The Aestura Atobarrier365 Cream Mist is a skin barrier's best friend. This ultra-fine mist is made with a high ceramide concentration and a triple lipid complex to deeply hydrate, nourish, and lock in moisture. Key ingredients: Ceramides, triple lipid complex Size: 4.06 oz Amazon rating: 4.4/5 An Amazon reviewer says: 'Absolutely amazing for any barrier care or just dry skin. The mister is a very fine spray, which feels luxurious. Such a delight to use. Will be restocking during every Prime Day so that I never run out.' Too lazy to blend in your anti-aging serum? No problem. Kosas makes it easy with the Plump and Juicy Spray-On Serum. The mist boasts an impressive lineup of ingredients, including collagen, probiotics, and peptides, which all work to reverse signs of stress and aging. Key ingredients: Vegan collagen, plant probiotics, peptides Size: 3.38 oz Amazon rating: 4.1/5 An Amazon reviewer says: 'This product is great. It smells good. It feels good on your face. It's hydrating, cooling, and just smells fresh and clean. It's great for mature skin that gets dry throughout the day. Highly recommend.' 'This spray contains specialized water directly from the thermal springs in the south of France,' says Dr. Zeichner. 'It contains a blend of minerals, including selenium, which has been shown to help soothe the outer skin layer and balance the microbiome.' Spritz it on your face and/or body at any time of day for a refreshing, soothing feel. Key ingredients: Thermal spring water Size: 5.1 oz Amazon rating: 4.6/5 An Amazon reviewer says: 'I recently started using this facial mist, and I have to say, it's been a game-changer for my skin care routine. After I spray it on, my face feels instantly refreshed and super soft. It really helps to lock in the moisture, which is a big plus for me since I have dry skin. I love that it's lightweight, so I can use it throughout the day without it feeling heavy or greasy. It's a little pick-me-up that I didn't know I needed!' Finding an SPF facial mist that doesn't clog pores or mess with your makeup is no easy feat. The Elf All Set For Sun Setting Spray protects your skin with SPF 45 broad-spectrum coverage while simultaneously hydrating. It's weightless, quick-drying, and never leaves a white cast. Key ingredients: SPF Size: 2.86 oz Ulta rating: 4.4/5 An ELLE expert says: 'This mist helps moisturize the skin while delivering broad-spectrum UV protection in a non-greasy formula that won't weigh down the skin and won't disrupt your makeup.'—Dr. Zeichner As you know, face mists can be applied at nearly any point in your beauty routine and throughout the day. However, as Dr. Zeichner explains, certain mists are most effective at specific times. Hydrating, soothing, and barrier-support sprays can 'help provide the foundation for the rest of your skin care routine' when applied to clean, dry skin. Many of these same sprays also double as excellent makeup primers. Meanwhile, 'face mists designed as your last step are like icing on the cake,' Dr. Zeichner continues. 'These are usually formulated to set your makeup and skin care in place.' Think: setting sprays and dew-boosting mists. Finally (and most importantly), mists with UV protection should be applied in the morning and reapplied throughout the day.

Gina Kim won her third Epson Tour title. Here's why she won't be promoted to the LPGA
On the same day amateur Lottie Woad made her leap onto the LPGA, Gina Kim won for a third time on the Epson Tour this season. In the past, that would've garnered Kim a midseason LPGA card. But the Epson Tour's so-called "battlefield promotion" went away after the 2018 season. Because players weren't getting many LPGA starts through the promotion, the tour felt it was somewhat of a false promise. Woad, who officially accepted her card earlier this week, slides into the Category 13 spot on the LPGA Priority List, behind players who finished Nos. 81 to 100 on the previous season CME points list and ahead of those who have reshuffled in 2025. The Englishwoman, who finished in a share of third at Evian, earned a spot in next week's ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open by virtue of her recent win on the LET in Ireland. She's in the AIG Women's British Open field based on her top-10 finish last year at St. Andrews. Woad's LEAP card then gets her into the next five LPGA events – starting in Portland – where she'll have a chance to play her way into the limited-field Asian swing. Why can't three-time Epson Tour winners have that same opportunity? There might even be an argument for those players moving to a higher category than 13. Three-time winners aren't unusual on the development circuit. Since the rule changed, five players have won three times in a single season. Dating back to 2010, 11 players have done it. That list includes Cindy LaCrosse, Marissa Steen, Annie Park, Madelene Sagstrom, Nanna Koerstz Madsen, Hannah Green, Ruixin Liu, Patty Tavatanakit, Lilia Vu and Gabriela Ruffels. The PGA Tour offers what it calls a three-victory promotion through the Korn Ferry Tour. Only 13 players have accomplished the feat since 1997, with Matt McCarty being the latest in 2024. Kim, a 25 year-old Duke grad, won wire-to-wire at the Hartford HealthCare Women's Championship to move into the No. 1 spot in the Race for the Card ranking. There are eight events left on the Epson Tour schedule.
