Miranda Holder, a celebrity stylist and follower of royal fashion, told Newsweek that the dress “fitted perfectly with the ethics of the Earthshot Prize, being a highly sustainable fashion option, and will hopefully influence her many fashion-loving fans to consider trying a rental service themselves.” The Earthshot Prize is an eco-initiative spearheaded by Prince William that awards funding packages to small businesses to scale up innovative and progressive environmental solutions....

Kate’s manager also told the outlet “my heart is broken, she was the best,” and added: “The entire time she was sick, she never complained.” Seinfeld fans will recognize Kates from two of the sitcom’s most iconic episodes—“The Dinner Party” (the Babka episode) in 1994 and “The [Marble] Rye” episode in 1996....

The comedian, 62, who has ramped up her criticism of Musk since he took over the platform in October, was banned from Twitter on Sunday after changing her screen name to that of the billionaire’s, violating the terms of service on impersonating others. “Going forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying ‘parody’ will be permanently suspended,” South African-born Musk explained as part of a series of tweets on the matter....

A 2012 Olympic gold medalist, Taylor made her pro debut in 2016 and won the WBA lightweight title in 2017. She then beat Victoria Bustos in 2018 for the IBF title, Rose Volate for the WBO title, and Delfine Persoon in 2019 for the WBC and The Ring titles. Taylor won three fights in 2021.

Late in the first half of Game 3 between the Clippers and Spurs, Danny Green got the ball on a fast break and saw Kawhi Leonard running down the opposite side of the floor.

Yet that was the scene in May when the two-time judo Olympic gold medalist the distance for the first time in her budding mixed martial arts career. And the 29-year-old didn’t like it one bit at all. “I was just disappointed that I didn’t finish her,” Harrison admitted to Sporting News about her 2019 PFL season-opening unanimous decision win over Larissa Pacheco. “I want to go out there instill my will in dominating fashion, I want to get my TKO, KO or submission and that was the first time I ever went to a decision....

Harrison could have followed Ronda Rousey, her former judo training partner, into MMA. Rousey, of course, did get rich and famous. Harrison has toiled her way to stardom on the judo circuit — she made history by winning the first-ever American Olympic gold medal in the sport in London, and defended it with another gold here on Thursday — but in a specialty sport like judo, stardom has a ceiling....

Whether it was Travon Walker, Aidan Hutchinson or Kayvon Thibodeaux, it seems every team was looking for a a player who could terrorize quarterbacks in the backfield. Thibodeaux, the Giants’ No. 5 pick, has long been touted for excellence. However, the newly-minted pro might have to wait a little longer to make his regular season bow. Here’s the latest on Thibodeaux’s health after he was taken out of New York’s preseason game against Cincinnati....

2016 Malaysia Cup champions Kedah have announced a friendly match with China Super League (CSL) side Hebei China Fortune. Interestingly, the match will be played just three days after the 2017 Malaysia Super League kicks off. The friendly will be played on January 23 at the Shah Alam Stadium, at 5.00 pm. However no further details have been announced regarding the match, as well the ticket price. Hebei China Fortune have been one of the big spenders in the cash-rich CSL, having signed Argentina international Ezequiel Lavezzi on a £493,000-a week wage, reportedly the highest wage for a footballer in the world currently....

Kedah, the 2016 Malaysia Cup champions were forced to hand over the trophy to Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT) after the latter won 2-0 in the 2017 final played at Shah Alam Stadium on Saturday night. Kedah struggled to impose themselves in the match and had to be content with the runners-up medal after goals from Aidil Zafuan and Gonzalo Cabrera condemned them to a second Malaysia Cup final defeat in three years....

The Republican launched the Greater Georgia organization on Monday, only weeks after she lost the state runoff to Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) on January 6. Georgia, a long-time red state, was also taken by the Democrats in the November 3 presidential election. In the other Senate run-off on January 6, Sen.

Slater defeated 24-year-old Seth Moniz in the final on Saturday at a location where he has won eight Championship Tour events, with his first coming back in 1992. However, the former world No. 1 hadn’t won at Pipeline for nine years and his last event win on the Championship Tour was six years ago. “I was out there just telling myself, ‘Be in the moment no matter how much tension there is, just breathe,’” an emotional Slater said after his World Surf League event win....

“The President has zero concerns,” Conway told reporters on the White House driveway. “Except that the taxpayers are on the hook again for this fantasy that never came true for the Democrats who promised all of you, and sometimes with your help, that there would be a criminal conspiracy and collusion, the Russians helped the Trump campaign, we welcomed help and it turned an election.” Conway continued: “Well you know that’s not true....

Discussing the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus outbreak during a press briefing outside the White House, Conway told reporters that a lack of mask mandates from local officials is more influential in terms of whether individuals decide to wear them. “People are not wearing masks,” Conway acknowledged, referencing photos that have circulated recently of people not wearing them while socializing in public settings. “And I don’t think they’re not wearing masks because the president of the United States is not wearing a mask....

But it’s also hard to believe that Griffey is halfway to 100 simply because he’s still such a big deal in baseball circles. His career as an athlete was one of the few that transcended sports and seeped into greater popular culture, and we still see the ripple effects. In some ways, he’s still the face of MLB, which, as I’ve written before, isn’t the best thing. But it also speaks to the presence he carries just by existing....

Listening to all the praise showered on Ted Kennedy by politicians in both parties, you’d think Sen. Kennedy was Henry Clay or Daniel Webster. But that’s what’s remarkable about his story: this ne’er-do-well, hard-partying baby brother of the sainted Jack and Bob has achieved the stature of the Senate greats. He has done it not by oratory (though his eulogy to his brother Bob in 1968 or his famous “sail against the wind” speech at the 1980 Democratic Convention were magnificent) or by brilliance, but rather by hard work....

Smith, 57, was scheduled to be put to death for a 1988 murder-for-hire killing of a preacher’s wife on Thursday evening. But prison officials said they called off his execution after concluding they didn’t have enough time to complete the procedure before a midnight deadline. It was the second time in the past two months that Alabama was unable to kill an inmate and the third since 2018. It was one of three scheduled executions in the U....

But a loss in the national championship game didn't stop the university from hanging a banner in the rafters at Rupp Arena, even if says "Runner Up." MORE: Final Four photos | Way too early Top 25 | More belief than desire The issue here isn't that they are hanging non-championship banners. That's all well and fine.
