Found Dua Lipa's Exact Poolside Swimsuit and It Comes in So Many Patterns
When Dua Lipa isn't busy touring the world as an international pop star or attending the Met Gala as one-half of the world's hottest couple, she occasionally finds time for "a lil pauseeeee." On Tuesday, the "Houdini" songstress shared a recap of her low-key Memorial Day Weekend on Instagram with a carousel of beachside photos with her fam. And while fans were convinced her all-white Jacquemus gown signaled something more serious (like, ahem, a wedding), I was far too focused on Lipa's With Jéan bikini to even notice. After the brand claimed credit in a sweet comment on social media—"❤️❤️❤️ Cutest girl in the cutest bikini x," they wrote—I ran to the site to find the exact style in question. I scrolled (with bated breath!) entirely convinced Lipa's bikini would already be sold out and wiped from the internet, only to find the exact version available in every single size. It was an MDW miracle! Even better, the entire set is under $150. The brown polka dot Juni Bikini, which Lipa paired with a casual pony and oversized red-framed glasses, has a classic triangle-shaped top and cheeky-cut bottoms with eyelet lace-up detailing that gives the swimwear a bit of edge. The fully-lined top has an adjustable halter neck and removable padding, while the bottoms include tie sides so you can customize the fit perfectly to your frame. The fabric's crafted from a 90% nylon and 10% spandex combo that's lightweight yet durable and has just the right amount of give. It's also not the only pattern avail on With Jéan's site. While the black and white polka dot combo already sold out, shoppers can snag the Juni style in plenty more—red gingham, leopard print, blue and white stripe, and more (the list goes on!) in sizes XXS to XL. Dua is def more than just a fan of the brand's one bikini. The Australian clothing label is a fav of hers. In fact, she was spotted in a With Jéan Gabriella Dress just last week and wore the viral red halter—you know, the one celebs were practically making a personality trait— last summer. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to toss out my entire wardrobe and head straight to With Jéan while channeling "What would Dua wear." Megan Schaltegger is an NYC-based writer.

5 Most-Watched Channels from Kai Cenat's Streamer University
Image via: Christopher Polk / Getty Images On Memorial Day Weekend 2025, the University of Akron became the epicenter of the internet galaxy, thanks to Streamer University, a revolutionary game of development dreamed up by Twitch legend Kai Cenat. This four-day, May 22–25, digital bootcamp was an equal parts reality television show, online university, and influencer summit. With over 120 featured creators and 17 online streaming 'professors' delivering a packed itinerary of classes in the one-of-a-kind, one and only streaming curriculum, the event didn't just innovate, it redefined possibility, shattering all records. Here's a deeper dive to understand the creative approaches and bold execution that powered the 5 most-watched channels, at Streamer University. 1. DDG – The Cinematic Showman With a staggering 3.57 million unique viewers, DDG didn't just co-stream, he co-created. From rivalry-fueled drama to impromptu house parties, DDG's flow was more reality television than esports. His most recent album Blame the Chat gave fans another reason to keep their eyes glued, and continually changing headlines of a very public and bizarre personal life added an unintentional sense of drama. Less than half the audience in 2016 in the same time frame weren't simply watching a stream, they were tracking a narrative. Streamer University Best Moments! 2. Ray – The International Wildcard Clocking in at 1.73 million views, Twitch-transplant Ray proved to one and all yet again why this Taiwan-native has become a valued cornerstone of Kai Cenat's massive content empire. From day one, ever since his serendipitous first encounter with Cenat in that now-famous 2023 Japan meeting, Ray has rolled with the punches. His 71-hour streaming marathon was peppered with dozens of celebrity skits. Ray's talent for combining AMP's cultural freakiness with his avant-garde global viewpoints gave fans a supremely fresh and side-splittingly insane experience. 3. Kai Cenat – The Dean Behind the Dream With a modest 5 hour 35 minutes of streaming time, Kai Cenat still managed to finish third most viewed. That's the bug's power. As the visionary and self-appointed 'Dean' of the weekend, Cenat wasn't just there—he was everywhere. From classroom visit drop-ins to private birthday party cameos, his impact streamed through almost every stream. His scant personal airtime highlights his gravitational pull in the streaming universe. Viewers tuned in because it was his school. Kai's legacy of viral Mafiathons and high-wattage celebrity collabs only heightened the hype and the gravity of the event. 4. Rakai – The Wild Card of Campus Rakai isn't new to pot stirring, and with 1.46 million views, he definitely didn't miss a beat. Crowned 'Worst Behavior' at the closing ceremony, Rakai carried his rebellious charm and high-energy antics all the way through the 45 streamed hours. Streamer University Award Ceremony! 5. Wendy Ortiz – The Sensation With 1.35 million views, Wendy Ortiz showed us all that realness and magic are the gold bricks of the streaming world. She went nearly 50 hours deep live with the grab the mic standout moments almost always paired with her sister Evelyn, making them the weekend's most iconic sibling duo. Her deep roots in the social media landscape, paired with her personal experience as a new mom, made her content relatable and engaging. Streamer University was more than just a competition for the most hours logged or views accrued. It was a celebration, a proving ground, and a testament to how online content can reflect, lampoon, and elevate real-world institutions. Yet, Kai Cenat didn't simply construct a half billion dollar event, he established a blueprint for this new breed of digital intellectualism.

A Southwest plane was seemingly struck by lightning during Memorial Day weekend
A Southwest Airlines crew reported that their plane was struck by lightning on Memorial Day Weekend. The Aviation Herald reported that air traffic control was unable to hear the pilots as a result. The plane was taken out of service for inspection, the airline said. A Southwest Airlines plane was seemingly struck by lightning while on approach to landing. Flight 168, from Tampa, Florida, to Denver, took off around 7 p.m. local time on Sunday — about two and a half hours behind schedule, per data from Flightradar24. The journey, during the busy Memorial Day travel period, appeared to be going smoothly until it was about to land. In a statement, the Federal Aviation Administration said the flight crew reported a lightning strike. A Southwest spokesperson confirmed to Business Insider that there was "a possible lightning strike" on the aircraft. "Our maintenance teams took the aircraft out of service for inspection. There were no injuries," the spokesperson added. The Aviation Herald reported that air traffic control could no longer hear the pilots after the strike. However, it added that controllers were able to transmit instructions to them, and the 737 landed safely in Denver 12 minutes later. Jonathan Erdman, a senior meteorologist at told the outlet that the airport reported lightning in the hour before the flight landed. "This is a challenge flying into and out of Denver this time of year, as afternoon and evening thunderstorms can be almost a daily occurrence," he added. The National Weather Service says airliners are struck by lightning about once or twice a year on average. Jets avoid thunderstorms as much as possible because aircraft can trigger strikes because their presence enhances the electric fields found in storms. Commercial planes are designed with several parts to help mitigate the impact of lightning, such as a metal mesh that conducts electricity away from passengers and internal electronics. Last New Year's Eve, a United Airlines plane from Newark to London turned around and diverted to Boston after the crew reported a lightning strike. Read the original article on Business Insider
