DJ Akademiks Fires Back At Lil Baby Following Video
DJ Akademiks and Lil Baby have had a rocky relationship for years. Their issues reportedly began around 2022. Akademiks frequently criticized Lil Baby’s music following the release of ‘It’s Only Me.’ He also believed songs contained shots aimed at him. Over time, the tension seemed to cool. Akademiks even gave some of Lil Baby’s newer music positive reviews. However, things seemingly shifted again when Akademiks resumed criticizing Lil Baby’s music and standing in the industry. As of 2026, Akademiks was upset after he alleged that Lil Baby’s assistant snuck him over his public comments about the rapper. The pair were also linked to a potential boxing match through Adin Ross. However, the event never came together. Now, the feud appears back in the spotlight after a recent video seemingly reignited tensions between the two sides.

DJ Akademiks Goes Off After Lil Baby Seemingly Mentions Him In A Video
On Tuesday, a video of Lil Baby went viral on social media after the rapper seemingly mentioned DJ Akademiks in a behind-the-scenes clip from his latest music video. In the clip, Lil Baby reportedly said, “F*** Akademiks, that n**** the feds.” DJ Akademiks quickly reacted on X, writing: “Half of Atlanta rappers documented on audio tape talking to cops, including half the n***** he still calls ‘twin’… is this n**** stupid? If I’m the feds… Young Thug the lieutenant, I report to him.”
DJ Akademiks Shades Multiple Atlanta Rappers As He Continues Responding To Lil Baby
With no letup in sight, DJ Akademiks continued firing off posts aimed at Lil Baby while also bringing other Atlanta rappers into the conversation. In additional tweets, he appeared to accuse several rappers of cooperating with law enforcement and suggested they should have a group name before doubling down with more remarks.
He wrote, “Before I let a rat lover like Lil Baby ever call me the Feds I quit hip hop. U gon call ur fellow Atlanta rappers rats before u talk bout big Ak if it’s the last thing to do. U young thug gunna Gucci. Yall need a group name.”
Akademiks later added: “Lil baby. And the Atlanta rat rappers ain’t finna escape. Imma make sure of it. Detective Gucci. Lieutenant young thug and sergeant Lil baby. We on yall a** now.”
While he claims he isn’t referring to every Atlanta rapper, noting that artists like 21 Savage and Future aren’t included, Akademiks later took the drama to his livestream. There, he claimed several Atlanta rappers called his phone asking to be left out of the situation. According to Akademiks, they told him they have love for him and agreed with some of his points, but wanted him to ease up on the Atlanta talk. He claimed they told him: “They [all] said, ‘F*** Baby, you’re saying the truth, but don’t make it a full Atlanta thing.’”

What Katie Holmes Has Said About BF Jason Bard Yarmosky
Katie Holmes‘s romance with new man Jason Bard Yarmosky is going well, and she can’t help but gush about how much they are on the same page.
The actress and New York artist first sparked dating chatter after a public outing earlier this month where they couldn’t keep their hands off each other.
Despite the growing bond between Holmes and Yarmosky, the “Dawson’s Creek” alum isn’t ready to bring her daughter into the mix of her new relationship.

Over the weekend, Holmes and Yarmosky continued their string of outings with a public appearance at a Ferragamo pop-up event hosted by actress Gabrielle Union.
The lovebirds made quite the entrance in matching navy blue outfits at the fashion event held in Bridgehampton, New York. The 47-year-old stunned in an oversized sheer button-down top paired with a champagne layered fringe skirt.
She paired the look with pointy sling-back heels and carried a bright orange handbag to add a pop of color. Yarmosky, on the other hand, opted for a navy sweater paired with matching flared pants and black dress shoes.
When asked about the complementary looks, Holmes gushed to ELLE Magazine, “I think we just have similar taste.” Eyewitnesses told the publication that the “Mad Money” star and the artist whispered and giggled throughout the event.
Katie Holmes And Jason Bard Yarmosky Debut With Subtle PDA

Weeks before breaking her silence, Holmes and Yarmosky seemingly made their debut as a couple when they were spotted holding hands at a high-profile function in East Hampton.
According to The Blast, the duo attended a special screening of “The Invite,” walking hand-in-hand, sparking buzz about the state of their relationship.
“He was whispering in her ear, and she was laughing; they seemed very easy together, and there was a smile on her face all night,” one onlooker said of their interaction.
Although the pair didn’t walk the red carpet together, sources noted they sat together during the movie, and Holmes, at one point, placed her head on the artist’s shoulders. “They looked very cute,” the insider added.
Who Is Jason Bard Yarmosky?
Holmes’ new male companion is quite a well-known name in the art industry. He graduated from the School of Visual Arts in NYC with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in 2010, per the Daily Mail.
According to reports, Yarmosky’s art is mainly centered around themes of aging, with his grandparents, Elaine and Leonard Bard, serving as his major muses.
Unfortunately, they passed away, forcing the beloved artist to go into isolation. Yarmosky’s 2026 exhibition titled “Time Has Many Faces” was reportedly borne from the grief of losing his grandparents.
Close sources noted that it is no surprise Holmes and the illustrator connected given that the actress is drawn to creatives.
Has Katie Holmes’ Daughter Suri Cruise Met Her New BF?

With Holmes and Yarmosky’s romance growing, the actress’ close circle is opening up about how she is navigating her new relationship alongside motherhood.
An insider noted that the connection is still very much in its early stages, so they are not rushing to make things complicated with family members.
“They’re intentionally taking it slow. They haven’t been introduced to others’ families or done any of that yet,” explained the source, per The Blast.
For now, Holmes and Yarmosky are focused on simply enjoying each other’s company without making a major commitment, as time would do its thing.
The informant added, “There haven’t been any major steps in the relationship yet; they’re still in the dating phase for now. They’re happy taking things as they come and seeing where it goes.”
Katie Holmes Previously Sparked Romance Rumors With ‘Dawson’s Creek’ Co-star

Before confirming things with Yarmosky, fans suspected the “First Daughter” star was rekindling something with her “Dawson’s Creek” co-star, Joshua Jackson.
The former on-screen lovers reunited decades later for a new project, “Happy Hours,” which was written by Holmes. During a red carpet interview at the New York premiere, the pair held hands while showering praises on each other.
As reported by The Blast, their interaction soon sparked buzz among fans who speculated something was brewing between the colleagues.
“It has always been impossible to hide their chemistry and their special relationship beyond the cameras…and these words of Josh to Katie are the confirmation,” one fan gushed.

Tom Hanks Officially Replaced in Netflix’s New Dan Brown Series
Move over, Tom Hanks. Netflix is bringing the novels of Dan Brown to streaming in a new series, and they’ve found a Gilded Age star to fill the shoes of Hanks, who starred in three films as crusading professor Robert Langdon. The series is set to adapt Brown’s latest novel, which has become an international bestseller.
Created by Brown in 2000’s Angels and Demons, Langdon is a professor of symbology (a fictional discipline that studies historical symbols and religious iconography) who frequently finds himself caught up in ancient mysteries and conspiracies. The character really hit the big time in 2003’s The Da Vinci Code, an 80-million-copy-selling mega-hit that was quickly adapted into a blockbuster Ron Howard film starring Hanks as Langdon. Two subsequent films followed, adapting Angels and Demons and the later sequel Inferno, each starring Hanks and directed by Howard. Brown’s novel The Lost Symbol, a prequel to the series, was adapted into a Peacock series of the same name, and starred Ashley Zukerman (Silo) as a younger Langdon; it was cancelled after one season.
Morgan Spector will star as Langdon in the new series, which will be based on Brown’s 2025 novel The Secret of Secrets. The star of series like The Plot Against America and Homeland, Spector currently stars as 19th-century robber baron George Russell in HBO’s hit historical soap opera The Gilded Age. He also stars with Chiara Aurelia in the indie drama Caity, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival this summer. Rebecca Hall is reportedly in talks to star as the show’s female lead; the series can count on her having chemistry with Spector, as the two have been married since 2015. The series, which is as-yet untitled, will be co-created by Brown and Carlton Cuse (Lost); Cuse will write and showrun the series.
What Is ‘The Secret of Secrets’ About?
Published in late 2025, The Secret of Secrets is the sixth novel in Brown’s Langdon series. It takes Langdon to Prague, where his girlfriend, paranormal scientist Katherine Solomon, is set to give a lecture on her research into human consciousness and its survival after death. While there, however, they end up targeted by a sinister subterranean research facility, Threshold, who want to make sure Solomon’s work stays a secret…or else.
Netflix’s adaptation of The Secret of Secrets is in development; no release date has yet been announced. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.

Bunnie XO Drops $500K Days After Jelly Roll Divorce Settlement
Bunnie XO is celebrating the end of a difficult chapter with an extravagant new ride. Days after reportedly finalizing her divorce settlement with Jelly Roll, the 46-year-old podcast host purchased a white Rolls-Royce Cullinan valued at an estimated $500,000. Bunnie documented the expensive purchase on social media while accompanied by 24-year-old reality personality Dylan Wolf, with whom she was recently seen sharing a kiss.

Bunnie shared a video of her visit to the dealership on Instagram, beginning with footage of herself walking toward the building. “Sometimes a girl needs to spoil herself,” read text placed over the clip. After entering the dealership, the “Dumb Blonde” podcast host immediately embraced the hood of the white Rolls-Royce, which had been decorated with a large red bow.
The luxury vehicle featured red leather seats with black trim. Bunnie was filmed inspecting the interior, signing the final paperwork, and receiving her keys before the vehicle pulled out of the dealership parking lot. She captioned the post with a crying face emoji.
Although the exact price of Bunnie’s vehicle was not disclosed, a Rolls-Royce Cullinan can reportedly cost anywhere from the mid-$400,000 range to approximately $600,000.
When one Instagram user appeared to criticize the purchase, Bunnie quickly defended her decision to splurge after a challenging year. “bc I bought a car after having one of the hardest years of my life? If you a hater, just say that sis,” she responded.
Jelly Roll Will Reportedly Pay Bunnie A Lump Sum

The purchase came days after Bunnie and Jelly Roll reportedly reached an agreement resolving their divorce. According to TMZ, the former couple will divide several valuable assets, including an aircraft, vehicles, homes, and their respective intellectual properties. Other details of the settlement will remain confidential.
The country singer will reportedly make a one-time lump-sum payment to Bunnie, although the amount has not been disclosed. The agreement also reportedly prevents either party from making further alimony claims. It is said to include a provision prohibiting the former spouses from speaking negatively about each other publicly.
Jelly Roll filed for divorce on May 18, listing May 9 as the date of separation and citing “irreconcilable differences.” Sources characterized the decision to separate as “mutual.” The couple married in 2016 and would have celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary in August.
Dylan Wolf Joined Bunnie For Her Lavish Purchase

Wolf appeared alongside Bunnie as she collected her new Rolls-Royce, fueling further interest in their apparent relationship. The “Calabasas Confidential” personality was seen standing beside Bunnie inside the dealership, where they laughed together while she completed the purchase.
Earlier this month, the two were filmed kissing while celebrating the Fourth of July at Jelly Roll’s Goodnight Nashville bar. Footage obtained by TMZ showed Bunnie and Wolf seated beside each other in a rooftop VIP section. As music played and blue lights flashed around them, the pair leaned in and shared a brief kiss. They subsequently appeared together in a TikTok posted to Wolf’s account while teasing an episode of Bunnie’s podcast.
Bunnie has not publicly defined the nature of their relationship, but she previously made it clear that she was prepared to enjoy dating again following her separation. “I’m ready to have fun. I want women to know that you can reclaim your power, you can be sexy again,” she said.
Bunnie XO Says Jelly Roll Remains Her ‘Best Friend’

Despite ending their marriage, Bunnie has repeatedly maintained that she and Jelly Roll remain close. She described the singer as her “best friend” on her podcast and confirmed that he is “dating again.” Bunnie insisted that she is “happy for him” and said they are “ending this marriage on the best possible terms.” She also praised her former husband for “taking care of her in the divorce.”
The former couple first crossed paths in 2015 but initially remained friends because Bunnie was in another relationship. They became romantically involved after that relationship ended and married at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas the following year.
They briefly separated in 2018 after Jelly Roll had an affair. He later described cheating on Bunnie as “one of the worst moments” of his life. In 2023, the couple returned to the same Las Vegas chapel and exchanged vows again.
Bunnie has also claimed that she and Jelly Roll still intend to have a child together after spending the past two years trying to conceive through IVF, despite their decision to divorce.
Bunnie Responds To Rumors Of A Bitter Split

Questions about the former couple’s relationship intensified after Jelly Roll’s 18-year-old daughter, Bailee Ann DeFord, made cryptic remarks online. During a recent livestream, the teenager claimed the internet would “f-cking crumble” when she eventually “tells the truth” about her father’s divorce. The remarks prompted speculation that the split might be more contentious than Bunnie and Jelly Roll had publicly suggested.
However, Bunnie dismissed that interpretation after a fan referenced Bailee’s livestream in the comments section of one of her TikTok videos. “Nothing to clear up. She didn’t say anything lol ppl just wanna run w a narrative. Love my baby forever,” Bunnie replied.
For now, Bunnie appears focused on moving forward, and her new Rolls-Royce ensures she will be doing it in luxury.

Rebecca Ferguson Confirms Her Dune Return Comes With a Major Catch
Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Three is shaping up to be one of the biggest films of the year, bringing the acclaimed sci-fi saga to a close with the long-awaited adaptation of Frank Herbert’s Dune Messiah. With some of the biggest names in Hollywood all returning, anticipation for the December blockbuster has continued to build following its first trailers.
But that doesn’t mean everyone has a meaty part this time around, and one of the trilogy’s biggest stars has just devastated us all by confirming that that her return is considerably smaller than many fans may have been expecting, despite being one of the franchise’s most important figures.
Speaking to ExtraTV during San Diego Comic-Con, Rebecca Ferguson revealed that Lady Jessica’s appearance in Dune: Part Three is limited to a single sequence.
“Mate, I’ve got one scene, and I think you’ve seen it. It’s literally in the trailer, but I can’t wait to see it. The script’s amazing.”
This does sort of confirm what Ferguson had hinted at earlier this year when she said that she’d only “dipped [her] toe in” the production. She also admitted she originally believed Lady Jessica wouldn’t appear at all before Villeneuve ultimately decided to include the character.
The lone scene is widely believed to be the exchange featured in the film’s first teaser, where Paul Atreides asks his mother, “How did father do it?” before Jessica replies, “Your father never started a war.”
Why Lady Jessica’s Role Is So Much Smaller
The update is unlikely to surprise readers of Frank Herbert’s Dune Messiah, which significantly reduces Lady Jessica’s role while shifting its focus toward the consequences of Paul’s reign and the galaxy-spanning religious war carried out in his name.
Earlier this year, Ferguson admitted returning to the production for such a brief appearance felt unusual after being one of the trilogy’s leading characters.
“That was a weird feeling. Walking onto a set that you know so well, and knowing that you don’t have a part of it.”
She also acknowledged experiencing “a lot of FOMO,” before adding that she ultimately accepted she simply had to “serve the story.” Despite her limited screen time, Ferguson has repeatedly praised Villeneuve’s screenplay, describing it as “amazing.”
Alongside Timothée Chalamet (Wonka) as Paul Atreides, the film stars Zendaya (Challengers) as Chani, Florence Pugh (Thunderbolts *) as Princess Irulan, Anya Taylor-Joy (Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga) as Alia Atreides, Jason Momoa (Aquaman) as Duncan Idaho, Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men) as Stilgar, and Josh Brolin (Avengers: Endgame) as Gurney Halleck.
Dune: Part Three arrives in cinemas on 18 December 2026.

Us Weekly has affiliate partnerships. We receive compensation when you click on a link and make a purchase. Learn more!
We don’t know if you’ve noticed, but celebrities left and right have been spotted wearing breezy summer pieces with delicate lace details. We saw it on Demi Moore while she vacationed in Paris and Sarah Michelle Gellar posing in Bandol — but the style goes beyond Europe. Jennifer Lopez also donned the look while lunching at the Beverly Hills Hotel and Dua Lipa, who stunned as she left an NYC recording studio. Clearly the design detail spans across continents, cities and ages, and thus, we’re diving headfirst into the look.
The ‘It’ girl trend is equal parts flattering, dainty and sexy, which is why a little bit of lace makes a big statement. Celebs are wearing lace-trimmed dresses, blouses, skirts and beyond. Naturally, we’re following suit with these flattering numbers that are bound to turn heads. We pulled picks from Free People, Anthropologie, Gap and more. Another great note? You don’t need a rich mom budget to look like you’re one; finds start as low as $15.
Lace-Trimmed Summer Looks, As Inspired by Celebs
1. Our Favorite: We’re kind of in love with this lace-trimmed tank top that features the pretty fabric around the neckline and straps. The loose fit is also so ideal for warm summer days.
2. Designer-Inspired: Don’t these wide-leg pants look just like ones from a high-end designer? We credit the loose silhouette, drawstring waist and lace detail at the pant hem.
3. Everyday Ease: Add a bit of lace to your weekday wardrobe with this comfy tank top. Sure, the floral fabric feels feminine, however, the square neckline veers modern.
4. Vintage Vibes: The V-neckline adorned with lace is gorgeous alone, but when paired with the floral dress pattern? Just ‘wow.’ It feels elevated and easy-going at the same time, so you might wear it every weekend from now ’til September.
5. Comfort MVP: There’s nothing better than having a go-to dress in your arsenal. This floral embroidered style could be yours; it’s loose, features stretchy smocking and looks positively chic.
6. Celeb-Approved: Gellar’s elegant lacey outfit made Us instantly want something a little elevated. This satin-like maxi dress is the solution. It’s in the same color wheelhouse as the celeb’s choice, but looks a bit more appropriate for a summer wedding.
7. Pop of Color: Bubble gum pink is fun and statement-making, so be warned: all eyes will be on you. In addition to the bright hue, the tie-shoulder dress has comfortable smocking that hugs the body in the best way.
8. Same But Different: If you like the smocked detail from the dress above, take a look at this number. The peplum top has all-over smocking that feels just right on, while also showing off your ehem assets.
9. No Brainer: Farmers’ markets and errand runs call for breezy outfits, and this lace-trimmed mini is just the thing to wear. The breezy silhouette and light fabric allows air to filter through on balmy days. Plus, the cinched waist totally gives you an hourglass appearance.
10. French Countryside: Give off major cottagecore vibes with this top-rated mini dress from Free People. We especially like the lace paneling on the shoulders, sleeve hems and button-down front.
11. So Trendy: Cool girls are wearing babydoll dresses and tops on the regular; this crop top pick does the style justice with an elevated lacey twist.
12. Almost Gone: Shoppers are buying up these lace shorts in droves, and it’s easy to see why. The lace, eyelet detail extends a little beyond the shorts’ hem, giving it that farm girl-like appearance that’s so cute.
13. Posh Polish: You may already have a button-down shirt in your closet, but we’re willing to bet it doesn’t look as cool as this Exquise one. If you ask Us, it feels almost vintage due to the lace neckline, front details and ruffle hem.
14. Quite the Charmer: Selena Gomez wore a lace-hem skirt to a concert, so we’re wearing lace-hemmed skirts to, well, everywhere. This Anthropologie midi has a rich, silky appearance that looks so elegant with a T-shirt, cami or cardigan come fall.
15. Boho Babe: Etherial and fairy-like are two words to describe this bohemian-style cropped top, which has an asymmetrical hem, ultra-lightweight fabric and floral lace appliqués all over.

Seattle Food Festival Shooting Kills 3, Second Suspect Wanted
Police searched for a second suspect Monday (July 27) after gunfire erupted at a crowded food festival in Seattle. The shooting left three people dead and four others wounded, including a toddler. Authorities have already detained one suspect.

What Happened At The Seattle Food Festival?
The gunfire erupted around 6 p.m. Sunday in the waning hours of the Bite of Seattle, an annual three-day festival. It features hundreds of food and retail vendors, as well as performers. A large number of police and emergency crews responded to the shooting and began evacuating the area around the Seattle Center campus.
Ultimately, two people died at the scene below Seattle’s Space Needle. Also, a third died at a hospital. They were described as two men, ages 19 and 44, and a 56-year-old woman. Also, the four wounded, including a 2-year-old boy, were hospitalized and in stable condition early Monday, police said. The rest of the wounded were adults.
Assistant Seattle Police Chief Tyrone Davis couldn’t say if any of the victims were involved in the confrontation.


Police Searching For Second Suspect
Investigators believe the two suspects were shooting at each other on Sunday. Chief Tyrone Davis told a news conference Sunday night that there was no ongoing threat to the public, despite one suspect being at large. Police did not have a description of the missing suspect, he said. “We’re still trying to figure this out,” Davis said. Police did not immediately respond to phone and email messages from The Associated Press early Monday.
Dozens of officers were providing security at the event and some saw one of the suspects firing, Chief Davis said. One suspect surrendered at the scene, but the other fled. Law enforcement searched the grounds, but couldn’t locate them.
Witnesses Describe The Hectic Scene Following Shooting
Faith Adia Hunter said, per AP, she and her friends had just gotten food from a crepe vendor when gunfire broke out. She realized a shooter was near them. She and others found shelter in the nearby Seattle Children’s Museum.
“We were right next to him when it started so we took off running,” Hunter said. “So we took off running too into the building with the crowd.”
In the chaos, many vendors ran toward the exits, abandoning their food stands. Hours afterward, some lingered outside the police tape, wondering when they would be allowed to return to collect their tents, food and cooking gear. For example, Roberto Ramirez, a vendor at the event, said he heard what sounded like firecrackers before people began yelling “shooter” and running.
“Suddenly everything was empty,” he said. “People were freaked out.”


After the initial panic, new guests continued to arrive, unaware of what had happened, and were told by police to leave, Ramirez said.
Estan Wakonabo said he and his girlfriend were at the festival, waiting in line for a photo booth. All of a sudden, he was shoved from behind, and he turned to see a rush of people fleeing.
“People were hiding, were pushing, people were falling on the ground, baby strollers were falling,” Wakonabo said, adding that was when he heard gunshots. “Once I heard a ‘pop, pop, pop,’ that’s when I knew it was a shooter,” he said.
After he escorted his girlfriend to safety, he returned to the scene to take photos and saw multiple victims on the ground, Wakonabo said.

Embrace Scandinavian Summer Style With These Copenhagen Fashion Finds
Us Weekly has affiliate partnerships. We receive compensation when you click on a link and make a purchase. Learn more!
Summertime in Copenhagen is unmatched. Not only are the vibes high, but the fashion is impeccable. Copenhagen Fashion Week hasn’t even happened yet, but on my recent trip, people were already stepping out in their most stylish looks. I’ve always admired the Danes’ fashion sense, and I’m basing my summer wardrobe solely on the top trends I saw. You’d be smart to do the same. Embrace a breezy Scandinavian style this summer and beyond with the city’s most popular fashion trends below.
4 Copenhagen Fashion Trends I’m Copying for the Rest of the Summer
Flip-Flops
1. Supported Style: These sleek leather flip-flops aren’t just stylish; they’re also extremely comfortable thanks to the memory foam footbed.
2. Gentle Knots: Copenhagen is a walking city, and while many flip-flops cause blisters, the fashionable girls avoided sores by wearing ones that had soft fabric straps like these.
3. Color Pop: I noticed Danish women kept their outfits pretty neutral, but opted to add a dash of color with bright flip-flops.
4. Elevated: Early aughts styles have reached Scandinavia! I saw countless people wearing chunky wedge flip-flops for extra height.
Boxy Cotton Sundresses
5. Let it Flow: Looser dresses are the move in Copenhagen (probably because they’re easy to bike in!). This chiffon maxi comes in so many colors and matches the joyful vibes of the Scandinavian city.
6. Gingham Dreams: I thought the gingham craze was just an American thing — my time in Copenhagen proved otherwise. The Danes adore the pattern, especially on flowy dresses.
7. Short ‘n Sweet: While maxi dresses were more popular than minis, the few people who wore minis kept them loose and breezy, just like this cotton trapeze dress.
8. Delicate Details: The ruched square neckline and embroidered skirt on this cotton maxi make it so versatile — style it with sneakers (or flip-flops) for daytime wear or slip on some heels for special evenings.
Stylish Capris
9. A Little Flick: There’s something about the slightly flared hem on these stretchy capris that feels effortlessly stylish.
10. Pretty Pattern: Polka dots are the unofficial pattern of Copenhagen — I saw them everywhere. That’s why I immediately bought these dotted capri pants when I got home.
11. So Playful: So many capris look like carbon copies of each other. Luckily, the feminine ruffle hem on this style makes them stand out.
12. Keep it Chill: One thing I loved most about the fashion in Copenhagen was how women prioritized more comfortable, looser silhouettes — even when it came to capris. This relaxed style features a wider leg opening so the pants won’t tug or bunch.
Boho Tops
13. All the Lace: With three different types of lace, this whimsical boho tank feels so romantic and is a total statement piece.
14. Go Asymmetrical: The Danes’ high fashion prowess was on full display with asymmetrical tops like this smocked style that looked like it just came from a Copenhagen Fashion Week runway.
15. Show Some Skin: Copenhagen’s weather is cold, dark and rainy most of the year. So in the summer, people really take advantage of the sun by wearing strapless tops, just like this embroidered floral design.
16. Vintage-Inspired: Thrifting is unmatched in Copenhagen, and people will easily believe you scored this vintage-inspired lace vest during your trip.

Benny Safdie Is Officially the Highest-Grossing Actor of 2026
While stars like Tom Cruise, Matt Damon and Tom Holland have dominated the headlines throughout 2026, one actor has quietly put together the most commercially successful year in Hollywood. And we’re laughing thinking about how random the whole thing is but, between a record-breaking Christopher Nolan epic and the year’s biggest animated blockbuster, of all people, Benny Safdie has amassed a box office haul that no other performer has been able to match.
Yes, the man whose face you remember dripping with suntan lotion in front of an atomic explosion in Oppenheimer has scaled new box office heights, and is looking at well over $2 billion in takings — and we’re not even in August, yet! It’s even funnier because Safdie isn’t the leading man in any of the films. Instead, he’s become the year’s ultimate supporting player, with two hugely successful projects combining to give him an extraordinary run at the global box office. Now, given Spider-Man: Brand New Day comes out this week, Zendaya and Tom Holland, Safdie’s co-stars, will likely overtake him, while Zendaya definitely will when Dune 3 releases. But for now, let’s enjoy this.
What Movies Is Benny Safdie in?
Safdie kicked off the year by voicing Bowser Jr. in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which has surpassed $1 billion worldwide to become one of 2026’s biggest releases, and followed it up as the King of Auramaxxing Mycenae, Agamemnon, in The Odyssey, which is now almost guaranteed to pass a billion, having almost reached $700 million worldwide in just its second weekend.
Safdie first rose to prominence alongside his brother Josh Safdie, directing acclaimed films including Good Time and Uncut Gems. In recent years, however, he’s increasingly become one of Hollywood’s most sought-after character actors, earning praise for performances in Oppenheimer, Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. and now The Odyssey.
With The Odyssey continuing to dominate cinemas and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie already sitting among the biggest hits of the year, Safdie’s remarkable 2026 box office record may prove difficult for anyone else to catch before the year is out. This is one of those unusual cases where an actor you wouldn’t expect is actually the highest grossing — Zoe Saldaña is regularly cited on these lists thanks to her work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but also James Cameron‘s Avatar films, while Samuel L. Jackson‘s supporting role as Nick Fury in the MCU has seen him become the highest-grossing actor of all time in the past.
The Odyssey is playing now in theaters.
