As someone with a deep appreciation for opera and a regular attendee of its most prestigious performances, I was deeply moved by Angelina Jolie's mesmerizing portrayal of the legendary Maria Callas in Netflix's ‘Maria.’ Jolie’s commitment to the role—particularly her use of her own voice to learn the intricacies of opera—is nothing short of extraordinary, and it's a performance that deserves recognition in its own right. The film’s score complements the haunting atmosphere, weaving a poignant backdrop to a slow, reflective narrative. At times quiet, the pacing allows you to lean in, captivated by Callas’ unraveling mind—an iconic diva lost in a sea of memories, hallucinations, and regrets. Through her self-narration, we delve into the painful complexities of her life: from the horrors she endured under Nazi occupation to the personal betrayals, failed relationships, and the addiction that ultimately claimed her. This is a story of resilience, of a woman both adored and consumed by her art. By the film’s heart-wrenching denouement, if you’ve truly connected with Callas, you will find yourself in tears, moved by her undying love for her craft. A remarkable tribute to a woman whose voice transcended both time and tragedy.

Two Bay Area icons just joined forces, and it's all about lifting up women and girls ��� Athleta is officially San Francisco Ballet's first Official Athletic Apparel Partner — dressing company dancers and celebrating the strength and artistry behind the craft. But the best part isn't the apparel, it's the access: free quarterly dance workshops for Bay Area women and girls (first one this September), plus funding for scholarships that give around 100 local kids year-round ballet training. The campaign stars real SF Ballet principals Madeline Woo and Nikisha Fogo, too. Fashion with a purpose, movement with meaning. Read the full story at https://t.co/MgmCMYPOSe.

Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' isn't a swords-and-sandals adventure — it's a war film wearing a myth as a mask, and it might be the most punishing, beautiful thing he's ever made. 🏛️🔥

We went deep on the year's film to beat: the history-making craft (it's the first movie EVER shot entirely on IMAX film, using brand-new cameras quiet enough for whispered close-ups), Ludwig Göransson's wild no-orchestra score built from ancient instruments and 35 bronze gongs, and a cast that runs from Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway to Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o — and yes, Travis Scott as a bard. 🎬

Then we decoded what it all MEANS: why Odysseus is basically Nolan's Bronze Age Oppenheimer, why Athena only ever appears as a hallucination, and the devastating truth behind the 'people from the sea.' 👀

⚠️ Full spoilers in the story — including the ending, explained. Read the complete breakdown at https://t.co/N1CJRTot6L. 💫

Did you catch the 'Oppenheimer' connection, or did the ending sneak up on you? 👇

Strip away the sea monsters and the IMAX, and 'The Odyssey' is secretly a film about learning to be humble. ⚔️ Matt Damon's Odysseus doesn't sail home a conquering hero — he's broken down and rebuilt one lesson at a time: pride follows you home, a dishonorable win haunts you, and coming home as 'nobody' is the real victory. We pulled out every lesson Nolan's epic is quietly handing you. Read the full piece at https://t.co/I9Zp4kWiUQ — it connects straight to our ending breakdown. Which one hit you hardest? 💫

Everyone's calling 'The Odyssey' Matt Damon's film — but the women are the ones quietly running the whole thing. 🌊 Anne Hathaway's Penelope turns waiting into strategy. Zendaya's Athena is basically his conscience made flesh. Samantha Morton's Circe and Charlize Theron's Calypso are the temptations that almost keep him from home. And Lupita Nyong'o's dual role is the smartest casting trick in the film.

We broke down every woman in Nolan's epic — and the gorgeous theme tying them all together. Read the full breakdown at https://t.co/HfoId9uMbw. Which one stole the film for you? 💫

What's In Your Bag

Perfume has always been personal to me. 🤍 Over the years, I've discovered incredible fragrances while traveling everywhere from Cannes and the South of France to Capri and St. Barths, and beyond has taught me that scent becomes part of your memories. As the founder of Glitter, these are the fragrances I keep reaching for because they make me feel confident, polished, and like the very best version of myself. They're not trends—they've earned a permanent place on my vanity and in my bag. ✨ - @nikkifowler28

1. Cartier 'Baiser Volé' 🌸 | From $128
Every spray takes me back to the South of France. It's elegant, soft, romantic, and reminds me of slow mornings, beautiful gardens, and everything I love about spending time along the French Riviera.

2. Tom Ford Taormina Orange Eau de Parfum 🍊 | $250 (30 mL)
If quiet luxury had a fragrance, this would be it. Fresh citrus with an elevated Mediterranean feel that somehow smells just as perfect on the tennis court as it does over lunch. It's effortlessly expensive without trying too hard.

3. Cartier 'Déclaration' 🌿 | From $92
Technically created as a men's fragrance, but trust me on this one. I even use it as a bedroom spritz because it's so fresh, clean, and comforting. It's one of those scents that instantly changes the mood of a room.

4. Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 ❤️ | $350 (70 mL)
The fragrance I get stopped for more than any other. Without fail, someone asks what I'm wearing. It's warm, unforgettable, and absolutely lives up to the hype.

5. Vyrao 'I Am Verdant' Eau de Parfum 🌿 | $190 (50 mL)
My favorite scent for slower days. Whether I'm working from home, reading, or simply recharging, this fragrance makes even lounging around the house feel like a luxurious ritual.

6. Louis Vuitton 'Cœur Battant' 🤍 | $340 (100 mL)
My forever staple. Bright, feminine, and elegant enough to wear year-round. It's the fragrance I reach for when I don't even have to think because I know it never disappoints.

A great fragrance should become part of your story. These have become part of mine. 🤍

I'd love to know... what's the one perfume you'll never stop buying? ✨

Leave it to Ciara and Russell Wilson to turn a checkerboard floor into a runway. 🏁✨ With a knowing "A NighTT For Lovers 🖤" caption of their own, it's safe to assume the pair were among the lucky names on Taylor and Travis's list — and darling, they came dressed. 🥂 Ciara poured herself into a liquid-black slip gown with a thigh-high slit and stacked gold cuffs, while Russell kept it sharp in a midnight-blue tux with satin peak lapels. Two decades of red carpets between them and they still set the standard for a power-couple entrance. 💫 Him or her — who wore it better? 👀 We're calling it a tie.

ARMYs, this one might be the sweetest BTS collaboration yet. 💜🍪

BTS and Oreo teamed up for a limited-edition Brown Sugar Pancake cookie inspired by hotteok, a beloved Korean street-food treat. The special release features Oreo's first-ever purple wafers, a nod to BTS and their fans, along with 13 collectible embossments celebrating the group's 13th anniversary.

According to early reviews, the cookies don't taste exactly like traditional hotteok, but they are winning over fans with flavors reminiscent of pancakes, maple syrup, brown sugar, and graham crackers. Reviewers praised the crunchy sugar texture and called them one of Oreo's tastiest limited-edition releases in recent years.

The collaboration was inspired by BTS members' childhood memories of enjoying both Oreos and hotteok, bringing a taste of Korean culture to fans around the world.

For fans that have tried BTS Oreos, what did you think? 💜
