<p>In Hollywood, trends come and go at lightning speed. One minute it’s <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/oscars-2025-red-carpet-hair">old-glam bobs</a>, the next it’s <a href="https://www.purewow.com/fashion/2000s-athleisure-trend">Y2K style</a> or, brace yourself, <a href="https://www.purewow.com/fashion/low-rise-jeans-mental-health-personal-essay">the return of low-rise jeans</a>. (Yes, really.) But there’s one style that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon: <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/mandy-moore-dress-cfda-awards"><a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/mandy-moore-dress-cfda-awards" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the sheer, pant-less look</a>.</a> Plenty of celebrities have embraced the daring trend on the red carpet, and the latest star to give it her stamp of approval is none other than <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/nicole-kidman-pantless-surprise-guest">Nicole Kidman</a>.</p>

<p>The 58-year-old stepped out for the New York City premiere of her upcoming television series <em>Scarpetta</em> on March 3, and her outfit definitely made an impression. Kidman wore a chic, all-black <a href="https://www.chanel.com/us/haute-couture/spring-summer-2026/">Chanel SS26 Couture</a> ensemble anchored by an oversized double-breasted blazer with gold buttons (similar style for less than $100 <a href="https://www.express.com/clothing/women/studio-stretch-twill-double-breasted-novelty-button-blazer/pro/06747922/color/Navy%20Blue/?irclickid=x5vRowxCfxyZWXT09hUW8UryUku2%3AzT5I2VgzU0&irgwc=1&afsrc=1&utm_source=Skimbit%20Ltd.&utm_campaign=10078&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_content=purewow.com">here</a>). The structured jacket gave the look a polished, tailored feel, but it was what she paired it with that really stole the show. Instead of traditional trousers, the Australian-American actress opted for a slim, semi-sheer black skirt featuring delicate feather-like detailing (similar vibes for less <a href="https://www.asos.com/us/asos-design/asos-design-delicate-sheer-lace-maxi-skirt-in-black/prd/208789311?clickid=_waxmaw0qfckaz3aksaz9uqycun22wjoz66v23txu00&im_rewards=&irgwc=1&afsrc=1&affid=29009&pubref=10078&utm_source=impact&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=Skimbit%20Ltd.&utm_term=Online%20Tracking%20Link&utm_content=ONLINE_TRACKING_LINK">here</a>).</p>

<p>Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift have a well-documented friendship going back nearly two decades. From dating the <a href="http://Selena Gomez Opens Up About the First Time She Met Taylor Swift (Hint: It Involves the Jonas Brothers)">Jonas Brothers</a> to Taylor attending <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/taylor-swift-speech-selena-gomez-wedding">Gomez's wedding</a> to music producer Benny Blanco, the pair have seen each other through many personal and professional milestones. </p>

<p>Recently, Gomez appeared on the <em>Friends Keep Secrets</em> podcast hosted by Blanco, Lil Dicky (Dave Burd) and Kristin Batalucco. The four covered everything from Gomez's Instagram DMs to her and Blanco's wedding—but it was the anecdote about Swift that got me. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"></h2>
<p>Towards the end of the interview,  Gomez talks about her friendship with Swift, including a meticulously hand-made gift the singer gave the <em><a href="https://www.purewow.com/entertainment/only-murders-in-the-building-season-four-review" target="_blank">Only Murders in the Building</a></em> actress to mark her 30th birthday. The conversation then dove into music, and Gomez revealed that "Dorothea," from Swift's ninth album, <em>Evermore</em>, was written about her.</p><p>"A lot of moments—huge moments—that were self-defining, from relationships to family to love...we were figuring it out because I was 15 and she was 18. We didn't really know what was going on. We've never seen each other any differently. So when I listen to it, I'm so impressed how its eloquently put," she said.  </p><div><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/DPejHzxEsxM/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" style="background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;margin: 1px;max-width:540px;min-width:326px;padding:0;width:99.375%;width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px);width:calc(100% - 2px)"><div style="padding:16px"> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DPejHzxEsxM/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" style="background:#FFFFFF;line-height:0;padding:0 0;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:100%" target="_blank"> <div style="flex-direction: row;align-items: center"> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;flex-grow: 0;height: 40px;margin-right: 14px;width: 40px"></div> <div style="flex-direction: column;flex-grow: 1;justify-content: center"> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;margin-bottom: 6px;width: 100px"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;width: 60px"></div></div></div><div style="padding: 19% 0"></div> <div style="height:50px;margin:0 auto 12px;width:50px"></div><div style="padding-top: 8px"> <div style="color:#3897f0;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:550;line-height:18px">View this post on Instagram</div></div><div style="padding: 12.5% 0"></div> <div style="flex-direction: row;margin-bottom: 14px;align-items: center"><div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px;flex-grow: 0;margin-right: 14px;margin-left: 2px"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px"></div></div><div style="margin-left: 8px"> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;flex-grow: 0;height: 20px;width: 20px"></div> <div style="width: 0;height: 0;border-top: 2px solid transparent;border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4;border-bottom: 2px solid transparent"></div></div><div style="margin-left: auto"> <div style="width: 0px;border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4;border-right: 8px solid transparent"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;flex-grow: 0;height: 12px;width: 16px"></div> <div style="width: 0;height: 0;border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4;border-left: 8px solid transparent"></div></div></div> <div style="flex-direction: column;flex-grow: 1;justify-content: center;margin-bottom: 24px"> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;margin-bottom: 6px;width: 224px"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;width: 144px"></div></div></a><p style="color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DPejHzxEsxM/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" style="color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">A post shared by Selena Gomez (@selenagomez)</a></p></div></blockquote>

<p>But that's not the only tea the actress spilled. The even bigger revelation? About ten years ago, Swift wrote the duo an unpublished song, titled, according to Gomez, "Family." It detailed the two's dreams—Gomez on the screen and Swift selling out stadiums—and how through it all, they're still the two girls who were just starting out.</p><p>"Now, when I listen to that song, both of those things—I'm going to cry—have happened for us," Gomez said, voice strained. "That's really sweet, because back then, she was just, 'I just wrote this song about us and it was our story.' It was the sweetest thing. I love it." </p><p>My only question is, can Swift add "Family" as a bonus track on one of her forthcoming albums?</p><p class="related-story-link"><a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/selena-gomez-taylor-swift-wedding-picture" target="_blank">Selena Gomez's Husband Drops an Intimate Photo of Selena & Taylor at the Wedding</a></p>]]></description><link>https://www.purewow.com/news/selena-gomez-taylor-swift-evermore-song?utm_source=national&amp;utm_medium=referral</link><pubDate>2026-03-03T15:58:02-05:00</pubDate><guid>https://www.purewow.com/news/selena-gomez-taylor-swift-evermore-song?utm_source=national&amp;utm_medium=referral</guid><category>news</category><dc:creator>Clara Stein</dc:creator><media:thumbnail url="https://publish.purewow.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/03/selena-gomez-taylor-swift-evermore-song_cat.jpg?resize=720%2C780"></media:thumbnail></item><item><title>Buckingham Palace Releases Striking New Princess Anne Photo—But My Eyes Went Right to Her Brooch</title><description><![CDATA[

<p>When it comes to <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/kate-middleton-hair-bafta-2026">Kate Middleton</a>, it seems there's literally nothing she can't do. In her capacity as the Princess of Wales, she is the <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/prince-william-kate-middleton-competing-rugby-message">patron of dozens of charities and organizations</a>. She launched her own initiative, <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/kate-middleton-early-childhood-speech">The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood</a>. Not to mention, she's also an involved mom of three, <a href="https://www.purewow.com/fashion/kate-middletons-handbags">style icon</a> and future Queen Consort. And in the latest video shared by Kensington Palace, Princess Catherine, alongside Prince William, marked another major milestone: speaking Welsh for the first time in public. </p>

<p>The royals are known for their excellent collection of <a href="https://www.purewow.com/fashion/how-to-style-a-brooch-better-than-a-royal" target="_blank">brooches</a>, often symbolic heirlooms passed down within the family. However, the brooch Queen Camilla donned for this occasion is a bit of a mystery. </p><p>The heart-shaped jewelry was pinned to the center of her chest, encrusted in diamonds with a coronet-topped royal cypher at the center. While the monogram is sadly indecipherable, per <a href="https://www.thecourtjeweller.com/2026/02/queen-camillas-royal-memorial-brooch-at-clarence-house.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">The Court Jeweller</a>, the coronet's presence indicates that it is not a cypher of a monarch—but could be one for another royal title, like a princess or duke.</p>

The photo shows Serena in a flattering three-quarter angle, her blonde curls full and flowing. Her makeup? Soft, radiant and effortlessly polished.

<p>The <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/taylor-swift-winter-olympics">2026 Winter Olympics</a> may have wrapped, but the buzz around Team USA and <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/ilia-malinin-body-language-winter-olympics">its standout stars</a> is still going strong. The U.S. brought home 33 total medals from Milano Cortina 2026, including two golds courtesy of fan favorite <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/alysa-liu-body-language-olympics">Alysa Liu</a>.</p>

<p>The 20-year-old dominated in women’s singles figure skating and the mixed team event, instantly cementing herself as one of the Games’ biggest names. And just as fans cheered her on at the rink, they showed up with the same energy when she appeared on <em>The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon</em>.</p>

<p>Before officially coming out of retirement to compete in the 2026 Games, Liu stopped by the late-night show and flipped the script on Fallon with a very on-brand challenge. "I brought a few videos of me on the ice during training and I want to see if you can guess what the element is," the 20 year old said during her December 2025 appearance.</p><p>The two went head-to-head for three rounds as clips rolled of Liu performing a triple lutz-triple loop combo, a Biellmann spin, and a triple axel. Fallon managed to guess two out of three correctly, but honestly, the real moment was the crowd’s reaction. The audience erupted after each clip.</p><p>And for good reason. Just last week, Liu delivered a dazzling free skate to “MacArthur Park Suite” by Donna Summer that earned her the Olympic gold medal in the ladies' singles event. With that win, she became the first female American Olympic champion since Sarah Hughes in 2002 and the first American woman to medal since Sasha Cohen in 2006.</p><div><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/DU_w6y7jXJD/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" style="background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;margin: 1px;max-width:540px;min-width:326px;padding:0;width:99.375%;width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px);width:calc(100% - 2px)"><div style="padding:16px"> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DU_w6y7jXJD/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" style="background:#FFFFFF;line-height:0;padding:0 0;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:100%" target="_blank"> <div style="flex-direction: row;align-items: center"> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;flex-grow: 0;height: 40px;margin-right: 14px;width: 40px"></div> <div style="flex-direction: column;flex-grow: 1;justify-content: center"> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;margin-bottom: 6px;width: 100px"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;width: 60px"></div></div></div><div style="padding: 19% 0"></div> <div style="height:50px;margin:0 auto 12px;width:50px"></div><div style="padding-top: 8px"> <div style="color:#3897f0;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:550;line-height:18px">View this post on Instagram</div></div><div style="padding: 12.5% 0"></div> <div style="flex-direction: row;margin-bottom: 14px;align-items: center"><div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px;flex-grow: 0;margin-right: 14px;margin-left: 2px"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px"></div></div><div style="margin-left: 8px"> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;flex-grow: 0;height: 20px;width: 20px"></div> <div style="width: 0;height: 0;border-top: 2px solid transparent;border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4;border-bottom: 2px solid transparent"></div></div><div style="margin-left: auto"> <div style="width: 0px;border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4;border-right: 8px solid transparent"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;flex-grow: 0;height: 12px;width: 16px"></div> <div style="width: 0;height: 0;border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4;border-left: 8px solid transparent"></div></div></div> <div style="flex-direction: column;flex-grow: 1;justify-content: center;margin-bottom: 24px"> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;margin-bottom: 6px;width: 224px"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;width: 144px"></div></div></a><p style="color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DU_w6y7jXJD/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" style="color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">A post shared by 刘美贤 Alysa Liu (@alysaxliu)</a></p></div></blockquote>

But when the decorated gymnast showed up in Milan, it marked a special occasion. For the first time, Biles wasn't there to <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/alysa-liu-body-language-olympics">dominate the podium</a>. She was there as a spectator.

It was all run-of-the-mill Olympics content...until I swiped to the sixth photo. </p><p>In it, Biles and Owens are smiling in front of a restaurant, dressed in monochromatic outfits.

<p>Following their snazzy night out at the <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/princess-catherine-slow-mo-video-baftas">BAFTA</a>s (where Prince William serves as president), the <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/kate-middleton-prince-william-body-language-long-meadow-cider">Prince and Princess of Wales</a> stepped out on another joint appearance yesterday. Following their outing, Kensington Palace promptly posted two competing photos of the royal couple—and I can't decide which one I like better. </p>

<p>When it comes to serving a head-turning look, there are really two lanes: <a href="https://www.purewow.com/beauty/glitchy-glam">full-glam maximalism</a> with layers upon layers of fabric or <a href="https://www.purewow.com/fashion/red-carpet-naked-dress-trend-over">something so barely there</a> it practically is the statement. For her 30th birthday, <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/sophie-turner-engagement-ring-rumors">Sophie Turner</a> confidently chose the latter.</p>

<p>On Tuesday, February 24, the <em><a href="https://www.purewow.com/entertainment/best-season-game-of-thrones">Game of Thrones</a></em> alum took to Instagram to share a carousel of photos from her celebration and yes, the dress deserved its own moment. Turner wore the <a href="https://retrofete.com/products/irina-halter-dress-whtsl?_ab=0&_fd=0&_sc=1&srsltid=AfmBOorADI8FkrcxyEtPIi5Y-hZgb2Ym-qKxhcDoj99yzDZW0PY4Mcgh">Irina halter dress by Retrofête</a>, a daring, ultra-mini number made up of cascading strands of delicate silver sequins that shimmered from every angle. It was equal parts disco ball and high-fashion risk, and she pulled it off effortlessly.</p>

<p>She doubled down on the sparkle with metallic silver heels, a matching silver handbag and statement sequin earrings that caught the light beautifully.</p>

<p>In a video she shared following victory in the team event, Liu holds up a ribbon-less gold medal with the caption, "My medal don't need the ribbon. Proud of the team." She then proceeds to show off the separate components, as well as the American flag on her T-shirt. </p><p>Per <em><a href="https://www.themirror.com/sport/other-sport/team-usa-star-forced-return-1702125" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">The Mirror</a></em>, Liu recounted: "I was just jumping up and down, as one does to celebrate, and it just dropped. It just literally fell off of the ribbon. It got very scratched up...pretty dented." </p><p>However, true to her <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/alysa-liu-body-language-olympics" target="_blank">exuberant and cheery personality</a>, the Olympian wasn't bothered by the dents and scratches. But the Olympic committee had other ideas: it had to be returned.</p><p>"I actually liked it when it was off the ribbon, but that's not allowed," she said. "I had to give it in.

There’s ample room to lounge, explore and unwind, plus on-site gear for taking advantage of the outdoors, including kayaks, a canoe and a fire pit made for cozy nights under the stars.</p>

<p>If there’s one thing <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/simone-biles-tiktok-post-tv-show">Simone Biles</a> knows how to do, it’s rack up milestone moments. She’s officially the <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/simone-biles-sports-illustrated">most decorated gymnast in history</a> and has five skills named after her, to say the least. But lately? She’s been leaning into a slightly slower pace, soaking up newlywed life with her husband, NFL player <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/simone-biles-husband-jonathan-owens-nearly-robbed">Jonathan Owens,</a> and settling into <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/simone-biles-house">their stunning Texas mansion</a>. And as it turns out, this new chapter comes with its own meaningful firsts.</p>

<p>The 28-year-old recently shared a sweet update on her Instagram Story, posting a photo taken inside the dreamy kitchen of their new home. On the white marble island sat a gorgeous bouquet of red roses alongside two plates of spaghetti. </p>

<p>She captioned it, “First home cooked dinner in the new house.”</p>

<p>Team USA Hockey scored a major victory when the women's team defeated Canada for the gold medal in overtime—though the game was tense. The team had a dominant run in the preliminaries, including beating Canada 5-0. But in the final game, things were hanging by a thread. For a majority of the showdown, Team USA was behind. But then, the team pulled ahead and emerged victorious with a final 2-1 score. It capped off their perfect 7-0 winning streak since the start of the Games. And the victory was so sweet—against what is the predominant hockey team in the world—that I nearly missed a teary-eyed exchange between several players.</p>

<p>The 2026 Olympics have been a <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/best-olympic-moments-crying-athletes">dramatic one</a> for the books. Athletes have <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/japanese-pairs-skaters-crying-olympics">broken down in tears</a>, been <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/amber-glenn-madonna-olympics-video">wished good luck</a> by their idols, and <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/japanese-skater-crying-olympics">celebrated well-deserved victories</a>. But one competitor has stood above the rest: Alysa Liu, the first U.S. women's champion in figure skating since 2002. Liu has gone viral for her <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/alysa-liu-body-language-olympics">joyful countenance</a> and supportive, fun-loving attitude in a high-stakes environment that has seen many others <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/ilia-malinin-body-language-winter-olympics">crack under the pressure</a>. She carried that attitude all the way to the end, and I was so swept up in the fun that I nearly missed her <a href="https://www.purewow.com/entertainment/taylor-swift-the-life-of-a-showgirl-review">Taylor Swift</a>-coded hand gesture at the closing gala. </p>

Liu came out on the ice in a coquettish ensemble complete with a choker to skate to "Stateside" by PinkPantheress featuring Zara Larsson. True to her personality, the program was sassy, cheeky and playful—including that ponytail flip—Liu proving that above all, she's a performer. And at the end of the event, she grinned wide and gave the crowd a <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/taylor-swift-winter-olympics" target="_blank">Taylor Swift</a> hand heart. </p><div><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFGFPSUpQL9/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" style="background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;margin: 1px;max-width:540px;min-width:326px;padding:0;width:99.375%;width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px);width:calc(100% - 2px)"><div style="padding:16px"> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFGFPSUpQL9/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" style="background:#FFFFFF;line-height:0;padding:0 0;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:100%" target="_blank"> <div style="flex-direction: row;align-items: center"> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;flex-grow: 0;height: 40px;margin-right: 14px;width: 40px"></div> <div style="flex-direction: column;flex-grow: 1;justify-content: center"> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;margin-bottom: 6px;width: 100px"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;width: 60px"></div></div></div><div style="padding: 19% 0"></div> <div style="height:50px;margin:0 auto 12px;width:50px"></div><div style="padding-top: 8px"> <div style="color:#3897f0;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:550;line-height:18px">View this post on Instagram</div></div><div style="padding: 12.5% 0"></div> <div style="flex-direction: row;margin-bottom: 14px;align-items: center"><div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px;flex-grow: 0;margin-right: 14px;margin-left: 2px"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px"></div></div><div style="margin-left: 8px"> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;flex-grow: 0;height: 20px;width: 20px"></div> <div style="width: 0;height: 0;border-top: 2px solid transparent;border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4;border-bottom: 2px solid transparent"></div></div><div style="margin-left: auto"> <div style="width: 0px;border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4;border-right: 8px solid transparent"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;flex-grow: 0;height: 12px;width: 16px"></div> <div style="width: 0;height: 0;border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4;border-left: 8px solid transparent"></div></div></div> <div style="flex-direction: column;flex-grow: 1;justify-content: center;margin-bottom: 24px"> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;margin-bottom: 6px;width: 224px"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;width: 144px"></div></div></a><p style="color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFGFPSUpQL9/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" style="color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">A post shared by 刘美贤 Alysa Liu (@alysaxliu)</a></p></div></blockquote>

<p>It was a victorious end to Liu's comeback run, when she came out of retirement for the 2024-25 season and ended up as both the U.S. national champion and World Champion that year. In winning the latter, Liu was the first American woman to cinch the title since 2006. And now with her Olympic wins, she's certainly going down in the history books. </p><p class="related-story-link"><a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/simone-biles-husband-jonathan-owens-nearly-robbed" target="_blank">One Small Habit Saved Simone Biles’s Husband from a Milan Bag Snatcher</a></p>]]></description><link>https://www.purewow.com/news/alysa-liu-taylor-swift-heart?utm_source=national&amp;utm_medium=referral</link><pubDate>2026-02-24T11:13:40-05:00</pubDate><guid>https://www.purewow.com/news/alysa-liu-taylor-swift-heart?utm_source=national&amp;utm_medium=referral</guid><category>news</category><dc:creator>Clara Stein</dc:creator><media:thumbnail url="https://publish.purewow.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/02/alysa-liu-taylor-swift-heart_cat.jpg?resize=720%2C780"></media:thumbnail></item><item><title>I Almost Missed Kate Middleton’s Subtle Hair Change and It&apos;s So Easy to Recreate</title><description><![CDATA[
<p>In case you missed it, over the weekend <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/prince-william-mental-health-bbc-radio">Prince William</a> and <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/kate-middleton-mom-mode-place2be">Kate Middleton</a> stepped out together for the BAFTAs (aka the British Academy Film Awards), where the Prince of Wales also presented an award. As expected, the pair looked polished and perfectly in sync, coordinating in rich maroon tones. <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/kate-middleton-photo-confirms-dog-rumor">Kensington Palace</a> even shared a <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/princess-catherine-slow-mo-video-baftas">dreamy slow-motion video</a> of their red carpet moment. I was so busy admiring the glamour of it all that I nearly overlooked something major: Princess Catherine’s <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/kate-middleton-wakefield-rugby-club">new hair debut</a>.</p>

<p>For the occasion, the 44-year-old Princess of Wales wore her hair down in a slightly off-center part, styled in long, cascading waves that paired beautifully with her floor-length Gucci gown. At first glance, the look feels classic Kate, soft, bouncy and impeccably styled. But here’s the twist: this appears to be the longest we’ve seen her hair to date. And, according to hair experts at <a href="https://www.hairneva.com">HairNeva Clinic</a>, global searches for “long hair” have reportedly jumped 92 percent since Princess Kate appeared on the BAFTAs red carpet.</p>

While many celebrity and royal beauty moments can feel a little out of reach (because, yes, glam squads and budgets), this one is surprisingly doable at home. Dr. Guncel Ozturk, haircare expert and founder of HairNeva Clinic, shared his tips for recreating the look:</p><p>"At recent events, we've seen that Kate has made the switch to looser and longer curls. To achieve these effortlessly styled waves, prep with a smoothing cream or blow-dry spray before drying the hair," Ozturk shared. </p><p>"Before you start blow-drying, divide the hair into manageable sections. Use a round brush to pull sections upward and away from the head," the doctor continued. "This helps to create a natural lift from the roots."</p><div><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVEwEpjjfrm/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" style="background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;margin: 1px;max-width:540px;min-width:326px;padding:0;width:99.375%;width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px);width:calc(100% - 2px)"><div style="padding:16px"> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVEwEpjjfrm/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" style="background:#FFFFFF;line-height:0;padding:0 0;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:100%" target="_blank"> <div style="flex-direction: row;align-items: center"> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;flex-grow: 0;height: 40px;margin-right: 14px;width: 40px"></div> <div style="flex-direction: column;flex-grow: 1;justify-content: center"> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;margin-bottom: 6px;width: 100px"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;width: 60px"></div></div></div><div style="padding: 19% 0"></div> <div style="height:50px;margin:0 auto 12px;width:50px"></div><div style="padding-top: 8px"> <div style="color:#3897f0;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:550;line-height:18px">View this post on Instagram</div></div><div style="padding: 12.5% 0"></div> <div style="flex-direction: row;margin-bottom: 14px;align-items: center"><div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px;flex-grow: 0;margin-right: 14px;margin-left: 2px"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px"></div></div><div style="margin-left: 8px"> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;flex-grow: 0;height: 20px;width: 20px"></div> <div style="width: 0;height: 0;border-top: 2px solid transparent;border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4;border-bottom: 2px solid transparent"></div></div><div style="margin-left: auto"> <div style="width: 0px;border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4;border-right: 8px solid transparent"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;flex-grow: 0;height: 12px;width: 16px"></div> <div style="width: 0;height: 0;border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4;border-left: 8px solid transparent"></div></div></div> <div style="flex-direction: column;flex-grow: 1;justify-content: center;margin-bottom: 24px"> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;margin-bottom: 6px;width: 224px"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;width: 144px"></div></div></a><p style="color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DVEwEpjjfrm/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" style="color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">A post shared by The Prince and Princess of Wales (@princeandprincessofwales)</a></p></div></blockquote>

<p>"After drying each section, secure the hair with clips or pins. This helps to preserve the hair’s bounce, which Kate has become renowned for. Ensure that the hair is properly cooled before setting the clips," Ozturk explained.

<p>Last week, American figure skater Alysa Liu made history. After a dazzling, electric free skate to "MacArthur Park Suite" by Donna Summer, the 20-year-old won the Olympic gold medal in the ladies' singles event. In doing so, she became the first female American <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/japanese-pairs-skaters-crying-olympics">Olympic champion</a> since Sarah Hughes in 2002, and the first American lady to medal since Sasha Cohen in 2006. But for Liu, the hardware was just collateral. She captured everyone's hearts with <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/ilia-malinin-body-language-winter-olympics">body language</a> unmatched by any other athlete—and that's the mindset that put her on the podium. </p>

<img src='https://publish.purewow.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/02/alysa-liu-body-language-olympics_1.jpg' /><p>Mickael Chavet/ZUMA Press Wire/Shutterstock </p><p>Going into the Games, Liu has maintained that this go-round has never been about winning for her, saying "I don't need a medal. I just need to be here and show people what I can do." </p><p>Indeed, she was probably the most relaxed skater in the lineup, and the word "joy" was consistently used to describe her and her performances. Commentators noted that she was incredibly relaxed during the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCrFaRsezGo&t=254s" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">free skate</a>. While that helped from a technical standpoint, Liu also roused the audience with her playful sassiness both during and after the program, when she flipped her ponytail. And who can forget the iconic photo of the medal ceremony, where she literally jumps with joy? </p><p>In an interview with <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKDdD3y44oY" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">NBC</a>, a journalist mentioned that Liu had previously called her stint at the Beijing Olympics a "job." Regarding Milan, Liu said, "Definitely not a job. I feel lucky I get to do this and I love being an athlete. It's the coolest thing in the world." </p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4aOC3Smq6g" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Scott Hamilton</a>, the 1984 Olympic champion, said of Liu: "She's joy. She loves her sport. She simply holds her entire world in the palm of her hand. She showed everybody what can happen on Olympic ice when you simply love what you do." </p><div><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/DU_w6y7jXJD/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" style="background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;margin: 1px;max-width:540px;min-width:326px;padding:0;width:99.375%;width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px);width:calc(100% - 2px)"><div style="padding:16px"> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DU_w6y7jXJD/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" style="background:#FFFFFF;line-height:0;padding:0 0;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:100%" target="_blank"> <div style="flex-direction: row;align-items: center"> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;flex-grow: 0;height: 40px;margin-right: 14px;width: 40px"></div> <div style="flex-direction: column;flex-grow: 1;justify-content: center"> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;margin-bottom: 6px;width: 100px"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;width: 60px"></div></div></div><div style="padding: 19% 0"></div> <div style="height:50px;margin:0 auto 12px;width:50px"></div><div style="padding-top: 8px"> <div style="color:#3897f0;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:550;line-height:18px">View this post on Instagram</div></div><div style="padding: 12.5% 0"></div> <div style="flex-direction: row;margin-bottom: 14px;align-items: center"><div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px;flex-grow: 0;margin-right: 14px;margin-left: 2px"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px"></div></div><div style="margin-left: 8px"> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;flex-grow: 0;height: 20px;width: 20px"></div> <div style="width: 0;height: 0;border-top: 2px solid transparent;border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4;border-bottom: 2px solid transparent"></div></div><div style="margin-left: auto"> <div style="width: 0px;border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4;border-right: 8px solid transparent"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;flex-grow: 0;height: 12px;width: 16px"></div> <div style="width: 0;height: 0;border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4;border-left: 8px solid transparent"></div></div></div> <div style="flex-direction: column;flex-grow: 1;justify-content: center;margin-bottom: 24px"> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;margin-bottom: 6px;width: 224px"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;width: 144px"></div></div></a><p style="color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DU_w6y7jXJD/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" style="color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">A post shared by 刘美贤 Alysa Liu (@alysaxliu)</a></p></div></blockquote>

<p>Liu's Olympic victory caps off an astounding comeback. Following the Beijing Games, the then 16-year-old shocked the skating world by announcing her retirement. During the following two years, she enrolled at UCLA, picked up photography as a hobby and hiked to the Mount Everest base camp.</p><p>"Taking a step away from the sport allowed me to understand myself, because I'd never had the time before, the space to figure out who I was," <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9R71OeytyrA" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">she said in an interview</a>. "Taking a step away allowed me to see the full picture."</p><p>So what's next for the doyenne of figure skating? Certainly not a second retirement anytime soon.</p><p>"I have no plans to leave yet," she said. "Can't imagine not skating next year." </p><p class="related-story-link"><a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/best-olympic-moments-crying-athletes" target="_blank">I Won’t Miss the Olympic Competition—I’ll Miss the Olympic-Size Tears</a></p>]]></description><link>https://www.purewow.com/news/alysa-liu-body-language-olympics?utm_source=national&amp;utm_medium=referral</link><pubDate>2026-02-23T11:47:27-05:00</pubDate><guid>https://www.purewow.com/news/alysa-liu-body-language-olympics?utm_source=national&amp;utm_medium=referral</guid><category>news</category><dc:creator>Clara Stein</dc:creator><media:thumbnail url="https://publish.purewow.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/02/alysa-liu-body-language-olympics_cat.jpg?resize=720%2C780"></media:thumbnail></item><item><title>I Won’t Miss the Olympic Competition—I’ll Miss the Olympic-Size Tears</title><description><![CDATA[
<p>This weekend brings the closing ceremony of the 2026 Winter Olympics (and it's definitely <a href="https://www.purewow.com/entertainment/what-to-watch-this-weekend">worth the watch</a>). Yet, full disclosure, I really won’t miss the competition. The athletic performances were top-notch, to be sure. The medal ceremonies were “exciting,” I suppose. But what I will really miss? The emotions, the tears, the <em>drama</em>.</p>

<p>Though there was much hype around Olympic star Ilia Malinin this year (and TBH, <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/ilia-malinin-body-language-winter-olympics">his body language</a> on and off the ice did speak volumes), my three favorite 2026 Olympic moments involved true, unbridled emotion.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"></h2>
<img src='https://publish.purewow.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/02/best-olympic-moments-crying-athletes.jpg' /><p>WU HAO/EPA/Shutterstock</p><p>The first came as Japanese pairs skaters Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/japanese-pairs-skaters-crying-olympics" target="_blank">broke down in tears on the ice</a>—I’m talking full-on hysterics. And these weren’t tears of regret—they were tears of triumph and joy, as the duo went from fifth place to winning the gold medal. They even hugged as they knelt on the ice, not fully believing just how well their free skate had gone. I still have chills.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"></h2>
<img src='https://publish.purewow.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/02/best-olympic-moments-crying-athletes_276657.jpg' /><p>Claudio Furlan/LaPresse/Shutterstock</p><p>Another favorite moment happened off the ice. US figure skater <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/amber-glenn-madonna-olympics-video" target="_blank">Amber Glenn was visibly shaken</a> and at a loss for words—but not because of her performance on the ice. While she skated to Madonna’s hit song “Like a Prayer,” it was a behind-the-scenes video that truly took her breath away. During an interview, Glenn was handed a phone featuring a surprise video message from Madonna herself.</p><p>The iconic singer told her, “You are an incredible skater. So strong. So beautiful. So brave.”</p><p>Glenn could barely respond, saying, “I’m shaking.” After the video concluded, she continued, “Sorry, I'm in shock. I'm in complete shock. Oh my god. I'm legitimately shaking.” There are those Olympic chills again.</p>

<img src='https://publish.purewow.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/02/best-olympic-moments-crying-athletes_d6b218.jpg' /><p>And finally, I was obsessed with Japan’s Yuma Kagiyama as he reacted to his silver medal skating win. Cameras caught <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/japanese-skater-crying-olympics" target="_blank">Yuma crying with his hand covering his mouth</a>, as his friend from childhood, Sato Shun (who happened to win bronze), stood by his side. It was another breathtaking show of emotion that definitely had me choked up.</p><p>Were these the only tears from this year’s games? Certainly not. But each of these moments proves my point. It’s not the sport of it all that keeps me tuning in every two years. It’s the drama—and the 2026 Olympics delivered plenty of it.</p><p class="related-story-link"><a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/taylor-swift-winter-olympics" target="_blank">Taylor Swift’s Surprising Winter Olympics Role Had Nothing to Do with Singing</a></p>]]></description><link>https://www.purewow.com/news/best-olympic-moments-crying-athletes?utm_source=national&amp;utm_medium=referral</link><pubDate>2026-02-22T10:00:00-05:00</pubDate><guid>https://www.purewow.com/news/best-olympic-moments-crying-athletes?utm_source=national&amp;utm_medium=referral</guid><category>news</category><dc:creator>Philip Mutz</dc:creator><media:thumbnail url="https://publish.purewow.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/02/hero.png?resize=720%2C780"></media:thumbnail></item><item><title>Jennifer Garner’s Black One-Shoulder Dress Has the Most Elegant Detail</title><description><![CDATA[
<p>There’s a reason the <a href="https://www.purewow.com/fashion/taylor-swift-little-black-dress">little black dress</a> will never go out of style. It’s <a href="https://www.purewow.com/fashion/15th-anniversary-timeless-fashion-pieces">the ultimate closet staple</a>: timeless, versatile and adaptable to just about any occasion. Whether it’s long or short, sleeveless or dramatic, satin or structured, there’s a version for everyone. And this week, <a href="https://www.purewow.com/entertainment/jennifer-garner">Jennifer Garner</a> reminded us exactly why the LBD remains undefeated, with one elegant twist I can’t stop thinking about.</p>

<p>The 53-year-old actress and producer stopped by <em>The Late Show with Stephen Colbert</em> on Monday, February 16, and her look was the definition of understated glam. Garner wore a sleek black <a href="https://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/bottega-veneta-one-shoulder-drape-slit-dress-prod277051077?pimId=401252932604&utm_source=google_shopping&site_refer=CSE_GGLPLA%3AWomens_Dresses%3ABottega+Veneta%3A&country=US&currency=USD&CSE_CID=NMO_G_PLA_Women%27s+Dresses_Baseline%3ANMO_G_PLA_Women%27s+Dresses_Baseline%3EWomen%27s+Dresses&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23029650475&gbraid=0AAAAADuOtTcVplwofCmPmsbPjDvZ57CzT&gclid=Cj0KCQiA49XMBhDRARIsAOOKJHZPnO4vRlXgI4ru3hT9_oymSqJlG6jMRElxhih-ircyq7mhxpp38mMaAtCPEALw_wcB">Bottega Veneta dress</a> that, at first glance, seemed beautifully simple from the front.

<p>Reunions are always a vibe, whether it’s your <a href="https://www.purewow.com/entertainment/friends-the-reunion-teaser">favorite show’s cast</a>, childhood friends, or family. But there’s something extra satisfying when <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/serena-williams-meghan-markle-baby2baby-gala">celebrities get back together</a> and let fans in on the moment. That’s exactly what <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/simone-biles-jonathan-owens-mirror-selfie">Simone Biles</a> did when she reunited with her Olympic teammates <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alyraisman/?hl=en">Aly Raisman</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lauriehernandez/?hl=en">Laurie Hernandez</a>.</p>

<p>The trio, who competed (and <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/simone-biles-sports-illustrated">brought home gold</a>) at the 2016 Rio <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/simone-biles-public-statement-olympics-wins">Olympics,</a> jumped on a TikTok trend with a slightly NSFW twist. The trend features three people, each delivering one line that reflects their personality in the friend group: the first says some version of "F*** you," the second goes, "We're so sorry," and the third counters with, "No, we're not."</p>

<p>For this video, the order went Simone, Aly, Laurie.</p>

<p>The post, shared on Tuesday, February 17, has racked up over half a million views and hundreds of comments. And yes, the comments section totally passed the vibe check.</p><p>"THE GIRLS ARE BACK!!!!!!!!" one fan wrote. Another said, "A Rio Trio," while a third added, "I love seeing the three of them together Rio Trio." One more chimed in, "3 ICONS IN THE HOUSE."</p><p>Simone captioned the post simply, "hopping on the trend."</p><p>This isn’t the first time Simone has documented celebrity reunions. </p><p>Back in September 2025, the 28-year-old Olympian shared a mini photo-and-video recap from the Chicago Bears vs. Dallas Cowboys game (her husband, <a href="https://www.purewow.com/entertainment/simone-biles-husband" target="_blank">Jonathan Owens</a>, plays for the Bears). The fifth slide in the post featured <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/simone-biles-suni-lee-reunite-bears-game" target="_blank">her and Suni Lee doing a playful lip-sync</a> using viral <em>Kardashians</em> audio: “Okay guys, we’re back.

<p>The 2026 Olympics are proving to be veritable waterworks, for the figure skaters in particular. Japanese pairs team Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/japanese-pairs-skaters-crying-olympics">broke down on the ice</a> after a stellar free skate that launched them from fifth place to Olympic gold. Americans <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/ilia-malinin-body-language-winter-olympics">Ilia Malinin</a> and <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/amber-glenn-madonna-olympics-video">Amber Glenn</a> shed tears after disappointing skates that cost them spots on the podium. And, as it turns out, another competitor in the men's singles event was caught mid-breakdown—albeit for happier reasons. </p>

The pair had something fantastic to celebrate: Kagiyama was the Olympic silver medalist, Shun claiming bronze. This is the third Olympics in a row where two Japanese skaters have ruled the podium. </p><p>Kagiyama was trailing five points behind Malinin after the short program, and delivered a solid (though flawed) performance in the free skate that held him in second place behind Kazakhstan's Mikhail Shaidorov, who surged ahead to claim gold.</p>

<p>Traveling, whether <a href="https://www.purewow.com/travel/best-solo-travel-destinations">internationally</a> or just around town, comes with its fair share of <a href="https://www.purewow.com/home/living-alone-for-the-first-time">safety habits</a>. Sometimes it’s as simple as leaving valuables in the hotel safe. Other times, it’s just staying aware of your surroundings and trusting your instincts. For <a href="https://www.purewow.com/entertainment/simone-biles-husband">Jonathan Owens</a>, husband of <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/simone-biles-jonathan-owens-mirror-selfie">Simone Biles</a>, it was one tiny habit that ended up saving him from a potentially chaotic moment.</p>

<p>Owens, 30, was in Milan cheering on Team USA at the <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/taylor-swift-winter-olympics">2026 Winter Olympics</a> alongside Biles, 28, when he shared a story on X about getting caught in a theft attempt.</p>

<p>"Not somebody just tried to snatch my shopping bag in Milan," the Chicago Bears player wrote on Sunday, February 15. "Force of habit I had it tied around my hand so he couldn’t get it and took off running immediately….but still crazy." </p>

<p>Good thing Owens had a habit of keeping his bag tied to his hand.</p>

And this appearance wasn’t just for show, it marked a historic moment for Team GB and the 2026 <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/ilia-malinin-body-language-winter-olympics">Winter Olympics</a>.</p>

<p>On Tuesday, February 17, the royal family shared photos of the Duke of Edinburgh, 61, celebrating alongside Team GB’s Huw Nightingale and Charlotte Bankes after they won gold in the mixed team snowboard cross. It was the first-ever gold on snow for Great Britain.</p>

<p>It’s never exactly shocking when a <a href="https://www.purewow.com/beauty/celebrity-hair-transformations-2018">celebrity switches up their look</a>, especially for a role or a high-fashion cover shoot. We’ve seen Nicole Kidman rock <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/nicole-kidman-red-hair">a fiery red pixie</a> and Jason Momoa <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/jason-momoa-shaves-beard">ditch his signature beard</a>. Transformations are kind of part of the job. But <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/zendaya-tom-holland-wedding-update-law-roach">Zendaya</a> and <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/jennifer-lawrence-robert-pattinson-food-from-trash">Robert Pattinson</a>? They didn’t just tweak their vibe, they fully committed to dramatic blonde makeovers.</p>

<p>The stars of the upcoming film <em>The Drama </em>landed the March cover of <em>Interview</em> magazine, and honestly, I had to do a double take. Pattinson, 39, appears in a blonde, <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/oscars-2025-red-carpet-hair">Marilyn Monroe–esque bob</a>, while Zendaya, 29, wraps her arms around him from behind wearing a slightly darker blonde wig styled into curled pigtails.</p>

The <em><a href="https://www.purewow.com/entertainment/twilight-director-calls-jenna-ortega-jacob-elordi-perfect-bella-and-edward" target="_blank">Twilight</a></em> star leans into the avant-garde aesthetic with a light-colored lace-trim cami featuring a bow at the center, paired with maroon pants left unbuttoned.

<p>As a former figure skater, the only <a href="https://www.purewow.com/entertainment/hilary-knight-ice-hockey-olympics">Olympic</a> competition I pay attention to is finally here: Ladies' singles. Team USA sent national champion Amber Glenn, world champion Alysa Liu and newcomer Isabeau Levito to Milan to contend for gold. And right before the ladies' short program, Glenn received a very special message from the artist behind her program music—leaving the Olympian in shock. </p>

During an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBF1VyAd4os" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">interview with NBC Sports</a>, a journalist handed the 26-year-old a phone and told her it was a surprise. </p><p>Glenn audibly gasped after hitting play, putting her hand over her mouth as none other than Madonna appeared on screen. </p><p>"You are an incredible skater," Madonna said. "So strong. So beautiful. So brave." At this point Glenn seemed on the verge of hyperventilating, turning away and putting her hand over her chest in disbelief.</p><p>"I'm shaking," was all she managed to squeak out as the video rolled on. </p><p>"I can't imagine that you would not win," Madonna continued. "I just want to say good luck. Go get that gold."</p><p>For a beat, Glenn was speechless before saying, "Sorry, I'm in shock. I'm in complete shock. Oh my god. I'm legitimately shaking."</p><p>Then she put her palms together and bowed to the camera. "My Queen, thank you so much. You are beautiful, stunning, amazing and you are <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/lady-gaga-breaks-madonna-record" target="_blank">an icon, a legend</a>, forever. Thank you for supporting athletes and their artistic ventures and I hope I can do the song justice. Thank you," she sniffed.</p>

She nailed her triple axel—and was the only competitor in the short program to attempt it—but downgraded her triple loop to a double, costing her seven points. While devastating, who knows?

<p>When it comes to the royal family, they’ve historically been <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/prince-william-announcement-earthshot-prize-2026">pretty tight-lipped</a>. But over the past few years, that’s clearly started to shift. The family has been embracing modern platforms and meeting audiences where they already are, including on streaming services and social media feeds. Just look at <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/king-charles-hardest-working-royal">King Charles</a>’s recent Prime Video documentary <em><a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/king-charles-documentary-body-language">Finding Harmony: A King’s Vision</a></em> or Prince William’s appearance on Apple TV+’s <em><a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/prince-william-eugene-levy-interview">The Reluctant Traveler</a></em>. And now, William is continuing that evolution with a refreshingly honest radio interview, one that included a candid mental health admission.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/prince-william-saudi-arabia-desert">The Prince of Wales</a>, 43, appeared on BBC Radio 1 on Wednesday, February 18, where he opened up about mental health, including his own experiences and the tools he uses to navigate difficult moments.</p>

<p>“Learn to love yourself and understand yourself," the heir said, before revealing, "I take a long time trying to understand my emotions and why I feel like I do and I feel like that’s a really important process to do every now and again, to check in with yourself and work out why you’re feeling like you do."</p><p>“Sometimes there is an obvious explanation, sometimes there isn’t," he added. "I think that idea that a mental health crisis is temporary, you can have a strong mental health crisis moment, but it will pass.”</p><p>William continued, "Part of feeling comfortable talking about mental health is understanding it. And if you've got guys who have really gone about trying to really learn about what feelings are, why we feel like we do, what can we do about it?

<p>The 2026 <a href="https://www.purewow.com/entertainment/hilary-knight-ice-hockey-olympics">Olympic Games</a> are well underway, and as a former <a href="https://www.purewow.com/entertainment/yuzuru-hanyu">figure skater</a>, I've been tuning in to keep tabs on my favorite athletes. (Ilia Malinin as the men's champion in 2030?) Last night, the pairs skaters took the ice for both their short and free programs, with a fantastic and dramatic upset, complete with tears. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"></h2>
<img src='https://publish.purewow.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/02/japanese-pairs-skaters-crying-olympics_1.jpg' /><p>WU HAO/EPA/Shutterstock</p><p>Germany led after the short program, followed by Georgia and Canada. US teams Ellie Kam/Danny O'Shea and Emily Chan/Spencer Akira Howe were in seventh and ninth place, respectively. Surprisingly, Japan's Riku Miura/Ryuichi Kihara—the two-time World Champions, Four Continents and Grand Prix winners, which are all major events—were sitting in fifth after a wobbly showing.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"></h2>
<img src='https://publish.purewow.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/02/japanese-pairs-skaters-crying-olympics_2.jpg' /><p>Daniel A Anderson/ZUMA Press Wire/Shutterstock</p><p>But the free skate? The 2025 World Champions proved that they could work miracles under pressure. The pair skated cleanly to a medley from <em><a href="https://www.purewow.com/entertainment/gladiator-2-review" target="_blank">Gladiator</a></em>—no small feat in a discipline where you can often see the female athletes holding on for dear life after a particularly tricky element—and promptly broke down in tears when the music finished. Miura and Kihara embraced each other as they sank down onto their knees as the crowd roared; the tears dissolved into screams of disbelief in the kiss-and-cry (the place where athletes await their scores) as they realized the gold medal was theirs. Talk about a comeback in a sport where winners are sometimes determined by tenths of a point. </p><p>With a little under a week to go before the Games' end, I'm now turning my attention to the ladies' singles. The stakes are high—the last American woman to medal at the Olympics was Sasha Cohen in 2006, where she placed second. The short program takes place today, with the free skate scheduled for February 19. Will Alyssa Liu, Amber Glenn and Isabeau Levito end the medal drought? My fingers are crossed. </p><p class="related-story-link"><a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/ilia-malinin-body-language-winter-olympics" target="_blank">Olympic Star Ilia Malinin’s Body Language Speaks Volumes On and Off the Ice </a></p>]]></description><link>https://www.purewow.com/news/japanese-pairs-skaters-crying-olympics?utm_source=national&amp;utm_medium=referral</link><pubDate>2026-02-17T11:37:35-05:00</pubDate><guid>https://www.purewow.com/news/japanese-pairs-skaters-crying-olympics?utm_source=national&amp;utm_medium=referral</guid><category>news</category><dc:creator>Marissa Wu</dc:creator><media:thumbnail url="https://publish.purewow.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/02/japanese-pairs-skaters-crying-olympics_cat.jpg?resize=720%2C780"></media:thumbnail></item><item><title>Taylor Swift’s Surprising Winter Olympics Role Had Nothing to Do with Singing</title><description><![CDATA[
<p>When you hear the name <a href="https://www.purewow.com/entertainment/taylor-swift">Taylor Swift</a>, a few things probably pop into your head and I’d bet my last dollar that music is at the very top of that list. I mean, she’s Taylor Swift: one of the biggest names in the world, <a href="https://www.purewow.com/entertainment/taylor-swift-spotify-record">a record-breaker</a>, a <a href="https://www.purewow.com/entertainment/taylor-swift-the-life-of-a-showgirl-review-take-2">multi-million album seller</a>, basically a living, breathing music icon. So when news came out about Taylor’s involvement in the <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/ilia-malinin-body-language-winter-olympics">2026 Winter Olympics</a>, most of us probably assumed it had something to do with singing. Maybe a performance, maybe a surprise on the ice but nope. Totally different vibe.</p>

<p>Instead of performing, Taylor, 36, lent her voice (her speaking voice, not her singing one) to introduce Team USA’s “Babe Angels” ahead of the women’s figure skating competition in Milan Cortina.</p>

<p>“Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to introduce you to Amber [Glenn], Alysa [Liu] and Isabeau [Levito]: three American Showgirls on ice, who will capture your heart with their stories,” Swift said in a voice-over, referencing her latest album, <em><a href="https://www.purewow.com/entertainment/taylor-swift-the-life-of-a-showgirl-review" target="_blank">The Life of a Showgirl</a></em>, in a nearly two-minute video clip posted to X on Monday, February 16.</p><p>Of course, the Grammy-award winner didn’t completely leave music out of the moment. Her song “Opalite” played in the background as she narrated.</p><p>This isn’t the only way Taylor has been tuning into the Olympics lately. She also had a front-row view of another milestone, not on the ice, but in romance. On February 12, Olympian skier Breezy Johnson shared that her fiancé, Connor Watkins, had proposed right at the finish line of the women’s Super-G race in Italy.</p><div><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUrRobRkUss/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" style="background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;margin: 1px;max-width:540px;min-width:326px;padding:0;width:99.375%;width:-webkit-calc(100% - 2px);width:calc(100% - 2px)"><div style="padding:16px"> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUrRobRkUss/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" style="background:#FFFFFF;line-height:0;padding:0 0;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:100%" target="_blank"> <div style="flex-direction: row;align-items: center"> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;flex-grow: 0;height: 40px;margin-right: 14px;width: 40px"></div> <div style="flex-direction: column;flex-grow: 1;justify-content: center"> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;margin-bottom: 6px;width: 100px"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;width: 60px"></div></div></div><div style="padding: 19% 0"></div> <div style="height:50px;margin:0 auto 12px;width:50px"></div><div style="padding-top: 8px"> <div style="color:#3897f0;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:550;line-height:18px">View this post on Instagram</div></div><div style="padding: 12.5% 0"></div> <div style="flex-direction: row;margin-bottom: 14px;align-items: center"><div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px;flex-grow: 0;margin-right: 14px;margin-left: 2px"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;height: 12.5px;width: 12.5px"></div></div><div style="margin-left: 8px"> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 50%;flex-grow: 0;height: 20px;width: 20px"></div> <div style="width: 0;height: 0;border-top: 2px solid transparent;border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4;border-bottom: 2px solid transparent"></div></div><div style="margin-left: auto"> <div style="width: 0px;border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4;border-right: 8px solid transparent"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;flex-grow: 0;height: 12px;width: 16px"></div> <div style="width: 0;height: 0;border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4;border-left: 8px solid transparent"></div></div></div> <div style="flex-direction: column;flex-grow: 1;justify-content: center;margin-bottom: 24px"> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;margin-bottom: 6px;width: 224px"></div> <div style="background-color: #F4F4F4;border-radius: 4px;flex-grow: 0;height: 14px;width: 144px"></div></div></a><p style="color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUrRobRkUss/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" style="color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">A post shared by Team USA (@teamusa)</a></p></div></blockquote>

<p>Watkins made the moment extra Swift-approved by printing lyrics from Taylor’s song "The Alchemy" inside the ring box, which read, “Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?” Taylor herself jumped in, quoting more of the track in a celebratory comment, writing, “‘Where’s the trophy? He just comes running over to me’ CONGRATULATIONS!!!”</p><p>Between narrating skating intros and watching her lyrics inspire real-life proposals, it seems Taylor Swift’s Olympics involvement is as unexpected as it is iconic.</p><p><em>Want all the latest entertainment news sent right to your inbox?

<p>The Prince of Wales, 43, took to Instagram on February 17 to share a video announcing a major update tied to the 2026 <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/prince-william-earthshot-prize-2025">Earthshot Prize</a>.</p>

<p>"The Earthshot Prize in Rio built incredible momentum for the Earthshot decade. Now, I'm delighted to reveal where we're going next," William says in the clip. "This country is a global technology leader, it's home to 8% of the world's biodiversity. It's the world's fastest-growing major economy with the largest population of young people in the world. And it's home to more Earthshot Prize finalists and winners than any other country on the planet. We're going to India."</p>

<p>When it comes to <a href="https://www.purewow.com/fashion/royal-jewelry-trend-pearls-garter-day">royal jewelry,</a> the family doesn’t just sparkle, they wow. From Queen Camilla’s <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/queen-camilla-brooch-royal-ascot">$2.5 million statement piece</a> to that unforgettable <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/queen-camilla-snake-necklace">$400K snake necklace</a>, the royals know how to turn heads. And while <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/kate-middleton-photo-confirms-dog-rumor">Kate Middleton</a> has rocked plenty of stunners herself, her latest choice is more understated but packed with sentimental meaning.</p>

<p>During her February 5 meeting with the new Archbishop of Canterbury, the Princess of Wales, 44, wore a gold statement heart necklace priced just over $2,000. According to former royal butler Grant Harrold, the piece was likely a thoughtful gift.</p>

<p>Speaking on behalf of <a href="https://www.slotstemple.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Slots Temple,</a> Grant, who worked for the Royal Family between 2004 and 2011, shared,&nbsp;"I believe Kate’s new necklace is likely a gift from Prince William. He’s romantic and very thoughtful, so I think this is exactly the kind of thing he would pick out for his wife." </p><p>The necklace also highlights Kate’s evolving style, blending royal tradition with a modern twist.</p><p>"While she of course wears the more traditional royal jewels at formal occasions, her own tastes seem to be more modern," Grant said. "The younger royals tend to favour more minimalist pieces, which is very much the current fashion."</p><p>Grant added that many of these new pieces carry sentimental value, like engravings or birthstones.</p><p>"And we’re also seeing an increase in pieces with significant meanings, like engravings or birthstones—there is a real emotional significance to many of them," Grant explained, noting that Prince Charles was an early adopter of this trend, once spotted wearing cufflinks engraved with two interlocking C's as a nod to Camilla.</p>

<p>In case you missed it, <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/prince-william-kate-middleton-competing-rugby-message">Prince William</a> was recently on a royal tour of Saudi Arabia, and his schedule was packed with everything from <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/prince-william-saudi-arabia-desert">jaw-dropping desert landscapes</a> to <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/prince-william-sunglasses-saudi-arabia">James Bond–style official moments</a>. One of the most memorable stops? A visit to one of his favorite pastimes—football. And while on the pitch, he had to field some adorably curious questions from the kids about his wife, <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/kate-middleton-photo-confirms-dog-rumor">Kate Middleton</a>.</p>

<p>On February 10, the 43-year-old Prince of Wales met young players from youth squads in Riyadh at MISK Sports City as they practiced training drills. According to <em><a href="https://www.hellomagazine.com/royalty/883275/prince-william-quizzed-kate-middleton-video/">Hello!</a></em>, after posing for a group photo, the girls gathered around him to ask some questions.</p>

<p>"Did Princess Kate come with you?" one asked, letting out a disappointed “Oh!” when William explained she hadn’t joined him.</p><p>When told he should bring his whole family, including Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, William replied, "They would love it here."</p><p>He also joked about the children’s football skills, saying, "Will you show them how to play football? My children love football, but you guys are another level. I can see you guys will be at the World Cup very soon and then you’re going to make me feel very old."</p><p>Though his stay was short, William packed it with a lot of activities. On the evening of his arrival on February 9, he was received by HRH Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, the country’s prime minister and heir to the throne.

One of the most striking changes over the years? <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/king-charles-body-language-westminster-abbey">His body language</a>.<br><br>The vintage clips show a young Charles speaking softly, almost timidly, about the future and the harmony between humans and nature. It’s clear these were the early days of him embracing his royal duties. That reserved, reflective energy is a stark contrast to present-day Charles, whose voice is calm but commanding, <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/king-charles-raf-lossiemouth-body-language">exuding confidence and authority</a>. He speaks with a depth of knowledge and perspective, reflecting on his younger self with a clear sense of purpose.</p>

That means players are finally off duty and for <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/simone-biles-furry-statement-boots">Simone Biles</a>, it means her husband, <a href="https://www.purewow.com/entertainment/simone-biles-husband">Jonathan Owens</a>, is officially home. To mark the moment, the Olympic gymnast shared a sweet, <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/simone-biles-jonathan-owens-pda-instagram">perfectly coordinated snapshot</a> of the couple.</p>

<p>On Monday, February 9, the 28-year-old <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/simone-biles-posing-olympics-medals">gold medalist</a> posted an Instagram Story featuring a mirror selfie taken in their bathroom. Simone holds the phone while Owens, 30, stands behind her with his hands resting on her shoulders. The couple leaned into a twinning moment, both dressed in black, Simone in a simple black T-shirt and the Chicago Bears player in a black hoodie.</p>

<p>“Officially home,” Simone wrote over the photo.</p>

When it comes to the <a href="https://www.purewow.com/wellness/best-partner-based-on-zodiac">most compatible</a> royal couple, who springs to mind? Well, it's not the kids these days—at least according to body language expert Darren Stanton. Speaking on behalf of <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://casino.betfair.com/__;!!P5Jeo73yCp0!QRWCxW3mPJ28E2dFjMnXbT0Dd7L7FVWgnLqn6brMgiUjZlrTTpUhb8evl5_UHBOlGiW65oE4z0M9ypOcsgfrlJLf1Y4$">Betfair Casino</a>, Stanton reveals that it's none other than <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/king-charles">King Charles</a> and <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/queen-camilla-gloucestershire-domestic-abuse-support-portrait">Queen Camilla</a> who take the cake. Errr...crown.</p>

We're talking about a 50-year-plus romance," he notes. "They've been in love a long time and it's been an intense relationship where they've had to overcome a lot. Even looking at pictures of them when they were younger, whenever Camilla was photographed, it's so clear they had this deep intensity for one another and it has continued to grow."</p>

But when they are together, the script is flipped. </p><p>"We see this genuine laughter shared between them with engaged eye contact, and this shows how they are on the same page emotionally," Stanton says.</p>

But, as Stanton has observed, "Camilla brings that side out of him where he can be himself, let go and just enjoy his time as King." And if that's not a love story, tell me what is. </p>

<p>The Princess of Wales is known for many things. Chief among them is her <a href="https://www.purewow.com/fashion/kate-middletons-handbags">impeccable style</a>. But the Princess is also a mom, and those skills have translated well into her royal duties. Princess Catherine has long had a <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/kate-middleton-hair-move">signature move</a> when interacting with youngsters—bending down their eye level to establish trust. In a recent outing, she again went into mom mode with the move, and the photos couldn't be sweeter. </p>

The children's mental health charity runs programs in schools throughout the United Kingdom.

<p><a href="https://www.purewow.com/entertainment/maria-review-netflix-angelina-jolie">Angelina Jolie</a> is one of <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/golden-globes-red-carpet-dresses">Hollywood’s biggest names</a> and, these days, we don’t get to see her out and about all that often. So whenever she does <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/angelina-jolie-eternals-red-carpet-with-daughters">pop up for a new project</a> or appearance, it’s always a moment fans savor. Her latest appearance comes courtesy of promo for her upcoming film, <em>Couture</em>, during which Jolie also shared a <a href="https://www.purewow.com/news/joanna-gaines-message-to-moms-on-daughters-birthday">deeply personal message</a> about life.</p>

<p>Speaking to French media outlet France Inter, Angelina, 50, reflected on her scars from a double mastectomy in 2013.</p>

<p>"I'm not drawn to some perfect idea of a life that has no scars. So no, I think, hey, you know, I see my scars are a choice I made to do what I could do to stay here as long as I could with my children," she said.</p>

<p>"I love my scars because of that and I'm grateful that I had the opportunity to have the choice to do something proactive about my health," she continued.</p><p>Angelina also opened up about her late mother, actress Marcheline Bertrand, who passed away from cancer at just 56 in 2007.</p><p>"I lost my mom when I was young, and I'm raising my children without a grandmother," she shared.</p><p>"So for me, no, I think this is life. And if you get to the end of your life and you haven't made mistakes, you haven't made a mess, you don't have scars, you haven't lived a full enough life, I think," she concluded.</p><p>Her words serve as a powerful reminder about what truly matters and the courage it takes to embrace life fully, imperfections and all. </p>
