How Summer House Scandal Reunited Lindsay Hubbard, Carl Radke
Nearly three years after ending their engagement, Lindsay Hubbard and Carl Radke can consider themselves friends again — thanks, in part, to Amanda Batula, West Wilson and Ciara Miller’s love triangle-turned-scandal that rocked the Summer House cast this spring.
“At the same time, I think, we had to go on the journey that we did, I also think that this scandal within our cast, without having a full conversation between you, me and Kyle [Cooke], we almost instinctively banded together to protect our house,” Lindsay, 39, said during her appearance on the Tuesday, June 16, episode of Carl’s “More Life” podcast.
Lindsay added that she and Carl, 41, teamed up with Kyle, 43, to ensure that “no one’s gonna burn our house down except for us.” (Lindsay has been a vocal critic of Amanda’s relationship with West, 31, ever since the pair confirmed their romance in March, as West previously dated Amanda’s best friend Ciara, 30, in 2023. Amanda, 34, and West began dating shortly after the former announced her separation from husband Kyle.)
Lindsay continued, “I think that was, like, a big part [of her newfound friendship with Carl] and [the pair’s Uber Eats commercial in April], the talking more, and you, me and Kyle just playing Red Rover with the world of, like, this is our f***ing house, and you’re not gonna burn it down.”
Lindsay and Carl began dating in January 2022 and got engaged that August. However, Carl later called off their impending nuptials in August 2023, three months before the wedding was scheduled to take place.
Though the exes were estranged for years after their split, they reunited in April for the iconic “Carl’s a Mess” campaign for Uber Eats, inspired by Kyle’s viral quote about how Carl was handling the Amanda and West drama. The ad saw Lindsy consoling a sobbing Carl with an Uber Eats delivery containing snacks and tissues.
“Doing Uber Eats, it brought a lot a of joy to me because I do think we have great chemistry on film like that or on camera,” Carl said on Tuesday, although he admitted that he was nervous about reuniting with Lindsay for the project. “And it brought me back to like how much fun that was. But it just made me happy because I felt like there was a really good bond in some of those moments. It brought me back.”
Elsewhere on the podcast, the pair marked their reconciliation by re-following each other on Instagram. (Lindsay previously had Carl blocked on the social media platform.)
“We’re back, baby!” Carl shouted, with Lindsay agreeing, “We’re so back.”
Following their split, Lindsay moved on with her now-ex Turner Kufe, with whom she shares daughter Gemma, 18 months. Lindsay and Turner split in early 2025, shortly after they welcomed their baby girl. Both Carl and Lindsay are currently single.
“The relationship we have now, and the friendship we have now, it’s been really nice,” Carl said on Tuesday. “And I think, even just watching back season 10, and obviously, it’s very interesting watching back over the last two months. But the bright spot for me this past summer is watching us in some of the dynamic. And I know people enjoy watching it too.”
Lindsay added, “Almost three years later, but we made it. I would say, like, I think you and I have done a really good job at coexisting and continuing to film and be in a house, living together.”

Matthew Rhys Addresses the Huge Question ‘Widow’s Bay’ Season 2 Needs to Answer
Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for the Widow’s Bay Season 1 finale.
Summary
As the secrets unraveled in Apple TV’s Widow’s Bay, a quaint island town 40 miles off the coast of New England where a sea hag and a Boogeyman roam free and a sacrifice must be made, the unlikely trio of Mayor Tom Loftis (Matthew Rhys), Wyck (Stephen Root), and Patricia (Kate O’Flynn) teamed up to stop the malevolence that was permeating. But to save the many means that the elderly Ruth (K Callan) must be sacrificed, leaving Tom as the one to ensure the deed is done. Only, Tom quickly realized that he didn’t have all the details about the town descendants, that ending Ruth would not end the curse, and that the truth was far worse than he ever could have imagined.
During this interview with Collider, co-stars Rhys, Root and O’Flynn discussed Tom’s relationship with the Widow’s Bay sea hag, the different colors of Patricia, Wyck’s desire to protect the town, the unifying moment that brought this trio together, how Rhys came to drop his co-star during a scene in the finale, the shocking reveals at the end of the season, and how that might play into Season 2.
Matthew Rhys Was Creeped Out by His ‘Widow’s Bay’ Sea Hag Interactions
“The moment I did the car-driving on that road, I actually found it quite scary.”
COLLIDER: Matthew, you have quite the relationship with a sea hag in this series. What was it like to work with her, especially in the moments when she’s so up close with you?
MATTHEW RHYS: I’m refraining from saying the wrong thing. There were two sea hags. There was a stunt hag and a sea hag. I would work in different ways with different hags. It was creepy. The moment I did the car-driving on that road, I actually found it quite scary. There were moments with the headlights where I’d go, “Oh, my God, this is so sinister.” And then, there were other moments when she was being thrown that you find yourself laughing out loud when you’re not supposed to. That is beautifully Widow’s Bay.
I loved that you could tell there was a real person there. That must have made it so much easier to react to.
RHYS: It did. It’s nice to be reacting to not be reacting to CGI as someone is shouting, and the dinosaur is running towards you. It’s always nice to react to a real human.
Kate, we really got to know Patricia in episode four. What did that episode tell you about her? How did what happened in that episode inform who she was for you?
KATE O’FLYNN: Initially, you meet her, and you’re like, “What’s her deal?” She manages to leave every conversation mortally wounded, even if the conversation is about the weather. You think, “Why is she stuck in that victim [mentality] of, ‘No one sees me’?” And then, you get that in episode four and understand the pain of what she’s been through. And also, you get to see the ecstasy. She has the best night of her life in episode four. It’s great to see that side of her as well, just to fill in all the different colors of Patricia.
Matthew Rhys’ Horror Series ‘Widow’s Bay’ Is Apple TV’s Weirdest, Boldest Show Yet | Review
‘Widow’s Bay’ premieres April 29 on Apple TV.
Patricia is described as an introvert who hates being invisible, so she demands attention in her own way, which really seems to summarize her. What do you think she really wants from this town and from the people in it?
O’FLYNN: I think on the surface she wants to be seen to be really helpful, like a really good person. That’s what she wants at the start. Underneath that, she wants friends, and she wants to find her community and to genuinely feel of service. She gets past how she’s seen and finds her tribe. That’s what she’s looking for.
STEPHEN ROOT: For all these characters, they’re looking for universal things. They’re looking for love. They’re looking for forgiveness. I think it’s really relatable.
Stephen, Wyck is described as an adversary for Tom, but that doesn’t really seem accurate to me. It seems like there’s a lot going on with him.
ROOT: There is.
He seems like someone who has seen too much and knows too much, and he’s frustrated because no one will listen to him.
RHYS: That’s Stephen Root.
ROOT: And also, he is the town inebriated drunk, so he has to work through that. Ultimately, he’s trying to protect the town, and he feels like he has the chutzpah to be able to do it and Tom does not. He wants to make it clear that these things are actually happening, and he’s researched it from day one. He’s got stuff from hundreds of years ago, and he’s very, very frustrated that he can’t get that through. But eventually, they find a way to work together to maybe combat the island itself, which is an entity.
Tom, Wyck and Patricia Shared a Moment in Episode 7 of ‘Widow’s Bay’ That Really Unified the Trio
“I thought it was a really seminal moment for the three of them.”
In episode seven, there’s a funny moment when Patricia and Wyck have to inform Tom that a guy they thought was a buried corpse is actually alive, and they need Tom to have a conversation with him. Matthew, do you feel like that is a moment when Tom really just questions his life choices?
RHYS: No, because there’s too much going on in the moment. That was such a unifying moment for us three. It’s when they align properly for the first time, and they all believe what they’ve been dreading or what has been talked about or what they’ve been ignoring. I thought it was a really seminal moment for the three of them. But there’s so much to be done that there’s no dwelling on that moment, which is incredible.
ROOT: There’s a dead guy here. We’ve got to do something about it. You’ve got to talk to him.
RHYS: That was such a joy to play.
O’FLYNN: That was the hardest scene to get through. It was impossible to not laugh.
In episode eight, Patricia is running away from this imposing figure of a Boogeyman that’s after her, ends up interrupting a book club, and tases a mean girl. What was all of that like to do? Did it feel empowering for Patricia?
O’FLYNN: Totally. Patricia is a badass. She’s brave. I actually think all the locals are because they’ve been dealing with this island. It’s in their blood. There is a toughness to them. That’s the arc of Patricia. Suddenly, she’s finding her power, and she’s got the gun, and she’s like, “Watch out!”
‘Widow’s Bay’ Just Added a Horrific New Layer to the Town’s Creepy Lore With 1 Shocking Scene
Kate O’Flynn also talks about Patricia’s unlikely bond with town misfits Tom and Wyck.
Matthew, in the finale, Tom has this long conversation with Ruth while they’re sitting together and he’s learning about her history. He also learns that he didn’t have the full extent of the information and that she’s not exactly the last descendent. How do you think he feels about learning that it’s actually his son, who he’s been trying to protect this whole time? What goes through your head in a moment like that?
RHYS: I just remember making an inaudible sound when I read it. I remember taking the biggest intake of breath when I read that moment. I went, “Oh, my God, it’s genius!” Talk about a cliffhanger for a second season. It’s the amalgamation of all that’s gone before. I just thought it was an incredible piece of scriptwriting. And then, I dropped K Callan. There was a moment in the script that said, “Tom lifts her into his arms.” The stunt coordinator, Paul Marini, said, “Okay, we’ll cut before you lift. Just don’t lift her.” I was like, “She’s 89. Of course, I can lift her.” In that moment, I went, “I’m going to lift her.” So, I lifted her, and then I dropped her. (Showrunner) Katie Dippold took a screengrab of that moment and put it on a mug, and I was explaining it to my son the other day. He was like, “What is that a picture of? You’re falling with an old woman.” I was like, “Let me tell you, son. There’s a place called Widow’s Bay, 40 nautical miles off the coast of New England.”
Now you’re as cursed as Tom is.
RHYS: Yes, in many ways.
Matthew Rhys, Stephen Root, and Kate O’Flynn Are Curious About What Will Happen in ‘Widow’s Bay’ Season 2
“It’s time to grab a Scooby snack and get back out there.”
Beyond where Tom goes from here, where does this trio of Tom, Wyck, and Patricia go from here? What are you most curious about?
ROOT: The fact that it’s all dropped on Tom.
O’FLYNN: Yeah, we don’t know.
RHYS: Now, figure that out. It’s not figured out. There’s a lot of work to do. It’s time to grab a Scooby snack and get back out there.
O’FLYNN: We don’t know if he’s going to tell them. We have no idea.
RYHS: It’s a beautifully human, emotional journey. It’s not all about fighting the supernatural. It’s a very, very relatable thing.
O’FLYNN: Kevn Carroll, as Bechir, is left with a huge dilemma at the end. There’s real jeopardy with that and real fear.

Tiger Woods Puts ‘Legal And Personal’ Woes Aside For Girlfriend
Tiger Woods is reportedly balancing multiple personal challenges as he supports his partner, Vanessa Trump, through her breast cancer treatment while facing his legal issues.
Sources claim the golf legend has remained by Vanessa’s side since her diagnosis became public, with both staying optimistic as she progresses through treatment.
At the same time, Tiger Woods is said to be nearing the end of a rehabilitation program aimed at addressing long-term health and physical issues, as questions remain about his career.

According to People Magazine, Woods is focusing much of his attention on supporting his partner, Vanessa Trump, as she continues her breast cancer treatment, even as he manages his own personal recovery and legal matters.
Sources say the 50-year-old golfer has been consistently present since Vanessa made her diagnosis public on May 20.
Those close to the situation describe him as deeply supportive, noting that he has been prioritizing her well-being. At the same time, she navigates treatment following surgery and prepares for the next stage of care.
“Vanessa’s needs and issues have taken Tiger’s thoughts outside of his own legal, medical, and personal struggles, which has been good for him,” an insider told the publication. “He has given her a lot of love — even while away working on himself. It shows he has character.”
The Couple Is Optimistic About Vanessa Trump’s Recovery

Vanessa, 48, recently shared that she is recovering post-surgery and has already moved into the next phase of treatment, describing the process as challenging but something she is approaching with strength and optimism.
As reported by People, insiders close to the situation say the pair are staying optimistic about Vanessa’s recovery, relying heavily on medical care and the support of family as her treatment progresses.
Those familiar with her condition describe her as understandably “anxious but strong,” yet still determined to get through the process with resilience.
“Like anyone diagnosed with this disease, she is anxious but also strong and eager to move beyond,” an insider noted. “She is loved and receiving a great deal of support … With all of the advanced treatments and excellent healthcare facilities around her, Vanessa will continue to receive top-notch care.”
Tiger Woods And Vanessa Trump Focus On Healing And Stability Amid Ongoing Challenges

Woods has been dealing with his own health and legal situation, including a rehabilitation program abroad in Switzerland following a car accident and a DUI-related case, to which he has pleaded not guilty.
Reports indicate he completed several weeks of treatment before returning to the United States, where he has been spending time supporting Vanessa.
Woods and Vanessa reportedly made their relationship public in March 2025. Vanessa has five children from her previous marriage to Donald Trump Jr., while Woods has two children from his former marriage to Elin Nordegren.
With their relationship being hit with different challenges at once, the couple is said to be focused on recovery while being there for each other.
Tiger Woods Nears End Of Rehab Program As Golf Comeback Plans Take Shape

On Woods’ side, sources also continue to reference his recent time in a rehabilitation program, which they say was part of addressing personal health and physical challenges as he looks to extend his golf career.
One insider explained to People that he “needed to get a handle on the pain and injuries and other issues a 50-year-old has playing the game.” They added: “There are plenty of opportunities for him once he is ready to tackle it again.”
According to those familiar with the plan, the program was expected to last around three months, and he is said to be nearing completion.
Despite recent setbacks, sources describe the pro golfer as “resilient and doing pretty well,” with one golf insider adding that he still has opportunities ahead in the sport, though his return may look different from earlier stages of his career.
The Golf Legend Shares Heartfelt Memorial Day Message Honoring His Father’s Military Service

Meanwhile, Woods returned to social media with his first public message in almost two months, marking Memorial Day with a tribute to fallen service members and a personal note about his late father.
Posting on X, Woods used the occasion to honor those who died in military service, while also highlighting his father’s background in the U.S. Army.
He referenced Earl Woods, who served in the U.S. Army Special Forces and completed two tours during the Vietnam War, noting his decades of service and the sacrifices made by soldiers like him.
“My father was a Special Forces operator with two tours in Vietnam and 20 years of service,” he wrote. “To all those like my father, we all say thank you for your sacrifices. Without them we wouldn’t have the greatest country on Earth.”
Earl Woods, who passed away in 2006 at the age of 74, was frequently acknowledged by Tiger for his influence both in his life and career.

Upcoming Marvel Show Already Has A Perfect Rating On Rotten Tomatoes
By Chris Snellgrove
| Published

Lately, Marvel fans are feeling something they haven’t felt in a good, long time: hope. It’s been a rough half-decade or so as MCU films went from being boring (Eternals) to bizarre (Quantumania) to, shockingly, unprofitable (The Marvels). Meanwhile, Marvel TV gave us shows that went from ambitiously weird (Moon Knight) to weirdly controversial (She-Hulk: Attorney at Law) to downright bad (Secret Invasion). As time went on, even the franchise’s biggest fans began to wonder if we’d get anything that could possibly match the glory days of Marvel.
However, late last year, the studio began releasing teaser trailers for Avengers: Doomsday, which (thanks especially to the trailer with Professor X, Magneto, and Cyclops) reignited Marvel hype for countless fans. This year, Daredevil: Born Again matched the quality of its breakout first season, and the early trailers have made it clear that Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be the hit film of the summer. With Avengers: Doomsday coming out on December 18, fans have plenty of awesome things coming out later this year. But would you believe that in just two weeks, a Marvel TV show with a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score is coming out?
That show is X-Men ‘97, Season 2, which will be slicing its way onto Disney+ on July 1.
A Perfect Season Of Superhero Television

X-Men ‘97 Season 2 focuses primarily on the fight against Apocalypse, a villain who believes in nothing more than survival of the fittest. In his world, perfection is achieved by culling the weak. While things are a little less cutthroat in the real-world, X-Men ‘97 has still achieved perfection in its own right. On the movie review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, Season 2 currently has a critical score of 100 percent. That’s good news for fans wondering if the show’s sophomore season would be nearly as good as the spectacular Season 1.
Based on the critics’ reviews, it sounds like X-Men ‘97 is going to be even better than we’d hoped. According to Empire Magazine’s Amon Warmann, “X-Men ’97’s second season continues to build on the mutants’ rich history in fresh, exciting and unpredictable ways. The years-long wait for its return was worth it.” Polygon’s Jake Kleinman agrees, writing that this season “is just as good, if not better, than anything I’ve seen before.” Additionally, IGN Movies’ Jesse Schedeen said that, “The series continues to be both a love letter to a particular era of the X-Men franchise and a source of deep, enjoyable character drama that can appeal to Marvel fans of all stripes.”
There’s Just One Big “But”

Now, there is a big but here, and I’m not talking about the one on Rogue. X-Men ‘97 Season 2 currently has a perfect Rotten Tomatoes rating, but the critics have only seen the first four episodes. Additionally, the show is universally beloved on Rotten Tomatoes, but there are (as of this writing) only 17 reviews. Is it possible the show will botch the landing, or that other reviewers will dislike the series and lower its score? Sure. But based on the show’s strong start and the extreme praise of these early reviewers, it looks like X-Men ‘97’s second season will be another one for the ages.
Like an Age of the Apocalypse? Nah. They gotta save that for Season 3!

Jesse Solomon Slams West Wilson Amid ‘Summer House’ Drama
“Summer House” star Jesse Solomon isn’t pleased with his Bravo peer, West Wilson, and how his actions have impacted their show. In a new interview, the “Guess I’ll Start” singer opened up about his relationship with Wilson today, following the program’s three-part reunion, and also broke his silence on casting rumors.

Speaking with Vulture, Solomon, who joined the show in 2024, got candid about his friendship with Wilson following the latter’s newly established relationship with Amanda Batula. For those who may be unfamiliar, Wilson and Batula made headlines in March 2026 when they announced their romance after weeks of speculation.
During the three-part reunion, Solomon broke down in tears over Wilson’s actions, noting how sad he was that he had hurt a majority of his co-stars, including Ciara Miller, Wilson’s ex and Batula’s former best friend. When asked whether he could see himself rebuilding a friendship with Wilson, Solomon admitted that he was unsure.
“I don’t know,” he said. “I’m a really slow decision-maker, one of my Achilles heels. In this case, I think it’s fair to need some time. West needs to learn how to treat people, in particular women, because he treats other people in his life — friends and family — really well.”
Solomon Not ‘Happy’ West Wilson Appeared To Have Fractured ‘Summer House’ Cast

Wilson has been in the hot seat on “Summer House” before. During the season 8 reunion special, he faced criticism from fans and his co-stars over how he broke up with Miller. According to Solomon, Wilson must take steps to better himself or risk losing people he cares about.
“I think a change there is necessary. And then just apologizing for the things that actually hurt people. I know he’s full of regret with how this all went down, so I’m hoping he can learn and grow from it and be a better person and friend,” he said.
Elsewhere in the interview, Solomon said that the drama involving Wilson and Batula has only created more issues.
“It’s bad for the friend group long term. No part of me is happy that this happened. I would even say to West, when I was suspicious, ‘Dude, please, if any bit of this is true, stop and lock it up and figure your shit out.’ He sure didn’t,” Solomon said.
Solomon Reveals His Thoughts On ‘Summer House’ Casting Rumors

Regarding casting, Solomon told Vulture that while he’s spoken with some of his co-stars about next season’s casting, he doesn’t know for certain who will be part of the show. In fact, he’s trying to steer clear of those conversations.
“Yeah, I mean, we’re f-cking gossiping, but I’m not bringing it up all the time, because the people who are on the fringe of coming back — I don’t really want to ask,” he said. “I want people to tell me.”
He added, “When I arrive in the Hamptons, I will be ready to have some fun with whoever is there, and I hope all my friends are there, but it will work out exactly the way it’s supposed to.”
Wilson Was Fired From ‘Summer House’

Speaking of casting, Wilson won’t be part of season 11, according to a previous report from The Blast. Sources close to the show confirmed that Wilson wasn’t picked up; however, there’s a chance that he could make a cameo in later episodes.
His firing came days after he told his “Show Me Something” podcast listeners that he hoped they would skip a new episode to avoid discussing his scandal any further. His statement garnered a heated response from “Summer House” OG, Lindsay Hubbard, who called the Missouri native “trash,” per The Blast.
Solomon Is Focused On What He Can Control

The next season of “Summer House” will begin filming around the July 4th holiday, and the recent drama has Solomon a bit worried about the series’ future.
“Yeah, I find myself wondering, ‘What’s going to happen this summer? Will the show still be entertaining?’” he said. However, after thinking, Solomon said he was focused only on what he could control.
“It’s like, that’s not my job. My job is to show up and be myself, and hopefully that translates to an entertaining show. I’m not really worried about the ratings and popularity,” he said.
A new episode of “Summer House” airs tonight on Bravo at 8 p.m. ET.

Star Trek Creator Had To Fight To Cast Series’ Most Memorable Actor
By Chris Snellgrove
| Published

Here’s a question that you might get phasered for asking at a Star Trek convention: who do you think the most memorable character of The Original Series is? Many would say Spock, the alien who captivated audiences from the very beginning. Honestly, though, I think he’s more (as the character might say) “fascinating” than memorable. Others would say Captain Kirk, who effectively became the face of the franchise. It may be splitting hairs, but to me, that makes him more iconic than memorable. Personally, I think the most memorable TOS character is Dr. McCoy, who served as the irascible, emotional counterpart to Spock’s logic-loving Vulcan.
McCoy was great because he was always the ultimate audience surrogate. When Kirk and Spock would debate things in intellectual abstracts, the good doctor character would (with his southern drawl) bring everything back down to Earth. McCoy was so memorable, of course, because he was played to perfection by the late, great DeForest Kelley. He is so natural in this role that you might think he was Gene Roddenberry’s first choice for the role. As it turns out, he was! But Roddenberry lost fights with two different directors across two pilot episodes, which is why Kelley was actually the third man to play chief medical officer aboard the starship Enterprise.
The Doctor Is In

When Gene Roddenberry created Star Trek, DeForest Kelley was his first choice to play the show’s doctor. He wanted to cast him in the show’s first pilot episode, “The Cage.” However, Roddenberry had less power back in those days, and he occasionally let director Robert Butler boss him around. At Butler’s suggestion, Roddenberry cast John Hoyt for the role of the doctor in the pilot episode. In a way, this worked out: NBC rejected the first Star Trek pilot but ordered another one, and the only cast member who returned for the second was Leonard Nimoy. Had DeForest Kelley gotten the role back then, he may very well have been recast later on.
Later, Gene Roddenberry was working on Trek’s second pilot episode, “Where No Man Has Gone Before.” He was still keen to have Kelley play the chief medical officer on the Enterprise, especially after the man starred in Police Story, one of Roddenberry’s failed pilots. Unfortunately, the past repeated itself: the director for the second pilot, James Goldstone, strong-armed Roddenberry into casting Paul Fix instead. NBC liked “Where No Man Has Gone Before” and greenlit the series; to this day, newcomers to Star Trek are baffled at Dr. McCoy’s absence from this episode.
His Memory Will Live On Forever

Finally getting the green light for his ambitious sci-fi show was obviously good news for Gene Roddenberry. Once NBC picked up his series, Roddenberry had a lot more control of just about everything, including casting. He was finally able to put DeForest Kelley into the show, and Dr. McCoy made his debut in “The Corbomite Maneuver.” Star Trek would come to define the veteran actor’s entire career, and he made the jump with the rest of The Original Series characters into feature films. Later, he appeared in the first episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, effectively passing the franchise baton to an entirely new crew of intrepid space explorers.
The quality and intensity of Kelley’s performance in Star Trek left an indelible mark on pop culture. Many years later, Karl Urban did his best Kelley impression when playing Dr. McCoy in the Kelvinverse films. Now, Punisher actor Thomas Jane is about to play the feisty doctor on the final season of Strange New Worlds. Together, these actors have done more than carry on the legacy of sci-fi’s greatest franchise. They have also carried on the legacy of DeForest Kelley, a wonderfully talented performer and the most memorable actor in Star Trek history.

There’s a reason boutique tops always seem to look more flattering than basic tees. The best ones rely on thoughtful details — think 3/4 sleeves, soft draping, pretty embroidery and relaxed cuts that create shape without feeling restrictive.

2. Viral Pick: The petal sleeves on this flowy V-neck top drape over the shoulder and arm instead of cutting in. At $9, it’s flying off Amazon shelves for a reason.
3. Boho Beauty: If fitted sleeves dig in at the worst spot, this loose boho top solves that. The 3/4 length covers the upper arm without trapping heat.
4. Free People-Style: Short sleeves that extend past the elbow are rare and worth seeking out. This khaki V-neck top delivers that exact length while giving off Free People vibes for $16.
5. Coastal Classic: Wear this striped tunic top with white capris on a harbor walk, and you’ll look like you’re summering in Nantucket. The longer cut covers everything.
6. Sleeve Savior: The button-down design on this easy V-neck top means you control the neckline and how much you want to show. It also skims past the upper arm without any clinging.
7. Rich-Looking: A puff-sleeved button-down with floral embroidery? This luxe-looking blouse could pass for a boutique splurge, but it’s reasonably priced at $36.
8. Ravishing Ruffles: Ruffled hems at the sleeve and bottom add movement to this 3/4 crew neck. The flowy cut floats over the torso without grabbing.
9. Office-Ready: Put on this floral chiffon blouse with black trousers for a Monday meeting, and your outfit’s done. The bell sleeves look great at every angle, adding a dose of fun to your fit.
10. Everyday Staple: Some days, you just need a comfortable shirt that covers what needs covering. This striped V-neck top camouflages the upper arm and hits at the right length.
11. Effortlessly Chic: This chiffon V-neck blouse tucks into a midi skirt for a bridal shower or pairs with jeans for dinner out. The cut flatters every direction.
12. Easy Coverage: When fitted sleeves don’t work, a ruffled 3/4 sleeve top is the ultimate alternative. Not only is it fashionable, but it also creates soft volume away from the arm.
13. Flowy Find: The half sleeves and a V-neck on Zeagoo’s flowy boho blouse provide just enough arm coverage without overheating. The cut drapes instead of hugging too tightly.
14. Arm-Skimming: The 3/4 sleeves on this printed crew neck blouse hit at the most forgiving spot. Comfy fabric and a relaxed cut keep things easy.
15. Draped Dream: This floral babydoll blouse features a peplum silhouette, a tie front and 3/4 sleeves, covering the torso and arms. The cut is genuinely flattering and totally on trend for 2026.
16. Airy Coverage: The lightweight fabric on this floral V-neck tunic means actual arm coverage without the sweat. It’s essentially your favorite T-shirt, just with 3/4 sleeves and a stylish print you’ll be excited to wear.
17. Retro-Chic: A loose boho cut and 3/4 sleeves give this floral V-neck blouse vintage energy. We love the cool color scheme and the fact that the flowy fabric never clings.
