Drag Racealum Plane Jane explains why she was cast onProject Runway, reads Law Roach’s ‘bus driver wig’ after exit
“I’ve become so known and notorious off the show for being outspoken, people forget a lot of the talents that I possess,” Plane tells EW after her elimination.
Plane Jane took off almost as quickly as she landed as one of the first designers eliminated from Project Runway season 22.
Now, the RuPaul’s Drag Race season 16 finalist and House of Villains star is reacting to her brief time on the show (alongside fellow season 16 queen Q) in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, during which she explains how she was cast on the Heidi Klum-fronted reality competition series and how she really feels about Drag Race judge Law Roach reading her on the Project Runway stage — complete with a few signature (and comically turbulent) reads of Plane’s own.

Uma Thurman’s IconicPulp FictionCostume Is Heading to Auction
Time to do the twist! Uma Thurman’s Pulp Fiction costume is hitting the auction block.
The simple outfit that Mia Wallace, Thurman’s bored mob wife, wears to Jack Rabbit Slim’s with Vincent Vega (John Travolta) has become an enduring icon of Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 film. Now, more than 30 years later, the nipped waist white button-up and slightly too-short Agnès B kick-flares are heading to auction. Propstore, the film memorabilia auction house, expects to fetch between $15,000 and $30,000 for the costume, which hits the block on August 26 at the Peterson Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.
7 pink nails to try, from ballerina to Barbie
Find your fave.
Pink nails continue to trend year after year because the colour has the ability to offer up a whole gradient of covetable manicures. Milky pink and ballerina shades remain a timeless classic, but brighter fluoro pinks are picking up more and more ground as maximalist nails catch on, calling for manis that make a proper statement.
Wherever you fall on the scale, pink remains one of the most versatile nail colours out there. Its spectrum stretches from delicate pale pinks, rosy blushes, tawny pinks and muted pinks, all the way to bold hot Barbie pink, neon, fuchsia, cerise and raspberry. That’s a whole load of options for one shade to offer.
3 Hidden Gems in Italy to Add to Your Travel List This Summer (and Beyond)
The American tourists love Rome, college students flock to Florence for their study-abroad semesters, and the honeymooners will always have Capri… Italy has 20 different regions, from the top of the boot to the tip of the heel, but most travelers usually end up in somewhere in the middle: in Milan for the fashion, in Florence for the Renaissance art, in the Italian Riviera for the chi-chi hotels and homemade limoncello.
I grew up spending my summers in Praia a Mare, a tiny beach town in Calabria—population of 6,350—where my mom is from in the south. Were it not for our high-speed WiFi, I’d say it’s a place that’s lost in time, because in many ways, little has changed. The days are still slow and sweet like molasses—spent alternating between dips in the water and playing Scopa under the protective shade of an orange ombrelone; the air honeyed by the ripe Dottato fig trees. I crave the familiarity of home once it starts to feel like summer in the city, but I also love to explore.
Sporty short shorts are everywhere — here’s how to style them this summer 2026
Bonus: they’re 100% heatwave proof.
When those pics of Zoë Kravitz and Harry Styles having a cute Hampstead Heath date first dropped, my immediate thought was: must copy that outfit. It was a simple look, sure, but it perfectly illustrated the most versatile rule in the cool girl’s heatwave survival guide: sweat-proof your style with sportswear. This summer – who wears short shorts? Literally everyone. Just look around. Super sporty micro shorts have become this summer’s undisputed hero piece for two obvious reasons. One: back-to-back heatwaves. Two: the endless stream of style inspiration we’re seeing on the streets and on stars.
Inside the 30-Year Fight to Release Whitney Houston and Brandy’s Cinderella Soundtrack
Recording the album was a magical 48-hour whirlwind. Whitney Houston, a superstar in her vocal prime, and Brandy, the rising talent just discovering the full scope and range of her gifts, joined forces with the best producers in the game. So where is it?
A confident, poised Whitney Houston and a doe-eyed Brandy Norwood are standing around a grand piano in a wood-paneled recording studio. The year is 1997. The two singers are in the midst of learning the duet “Impossible” from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella for their forthcoming televised remount of the musical for ABC. That made-for-TV movie—groundbreaking in the diversity of its cast as well as its decision to make a sixteen-year-old Norwood the first Black Cinderella and Houston her fairy godmother—would go on to become one of Disney’s biggest risks and biggest success stories. Cinderella pulled in 60 million viewers when it first aired on November 2, 1997 and subsequently sold the most home videos of any made-for-TV movie at that time. As a result, Cinderella became an indelible cultural artifact for a generation of fairy-tale-loving millennials.
But, singing around the piano while being filmed by Entertainment Tonight for a behind-the-scenes package about the making of Cinderella, Whitney and Brandy don’t know any of that yet. They’re just trying to learn the damn song.
The ‘Slip Bob’ is the slinky ’90s cut that Margot Robbie has put back on our radar
Basically a bias cut for your hair.
We’re still not done revisiting style and beauty inspiration from the ‘90s. If it’s not Carolyn Bessette’s bootcut jeans, it’s the slinky Slip Bob that Margot Robbie just put back on our radar, after debuting a new bob cut while shopping in Paris.
The actress was spotted leaving the Ritz Hotel in a silky matching butter yellow Dôen cami and mini skirt which she paired with her new collarbone-length bob.
All The Details Behind Zendaya’s RomanticSpider-ManGlam
Zendaya has been on an epic – even by her already high standards – red-carpet run in recent weeks. For team Z, no detail is overlooked, least of all the glam. When it comes to a beauty look, the star tends to be “very flexible yet sure”, her hairstylist Coree Moreno tells British Vogue. Before a look is finalised, her glam squad might find themselves taking a vote on “the most impactful option”. The winning result in London on Wednesday night, where Zendaya attended the final premiere of Spider-Man: Brand New Day? Moreno transformed the actor with a curtain of tumbling bohemian curls.
10 Best New Shampoos For Hair Loss To Improve Scalp Health And Reduce Shedding
The experts weigh in on the best shampoos for boosting volume and tackling hair loss in 2026
Whatever the circumstance or severity, there’s no sugarcoating the fact that hair loss is hard. Whether there’s been steady or subtle hair thinning, or you’ve noticed a sudden bout of strands falling out at a rapid rate, it can be difficult to manage both the mental and physical toll.
Between hair growth treatments, high-tech scalp oils and hair serums, the hair loss market now occupies a huge piece of the haircare category. And while there’s now an entire industry built around promoting hair growth, the truth is that it can feel even harder to uncover the right solution for you.
Frankly, there’s no one-size-all cure to hair loss. However getting the foundations right of a good hair care routine is key – yep, even before you think about serums and oils – and that starts with choosing the best shampoo for hair loss.
New Security Plan Announced for All French Museums Following Yet Another Heist
French culture minister Catherine Pégard said the new plan will help institutions protect their treasures “by all possible means.”
French culture minister Catherine Pégard has announced a new plan to improve security at museums across the country, just nine months after the Louvre heist and days after yet another heist. She unveiled a new “national security plan,” saying that “no place is being spared, from the smallest church to the biggest museum.”
Among the new 33 points of action include better staff training, moving vulnerable collections to safer locations, and installing new security systems. While some have called to display copies instead of real works of art, Pégard instead argued “it would be a grave mistake to replace our masterworks, which have to be displayed, with copies.” She said, “Our staff faces situations they never encountered before. We must provide them with the best possible specialization in terms of safety. Staff should first be trained in personal security, fire protection, as well as anti-vandalism and theft prevention.”
40 Of The Best Celebrity Bobs That Will Inspire You To Go For The Chop
Originally popularised by silent movie stars in the early 1920s, the blunt bob quickly became a symbol of flapper-era rebellion. Josephine Baker had her slick Eton crop, Clara Bow had her halo of curls, and Louise Brooks’s shingle bob has inspired countless imitations (Anna Karina in Vivre Sa Vie, Liza Minnelli in Cabaret, Audrey Tautou in Amélie). By the 1960s, neat bobbed styles were a signature style for designers like Mary Quant and Jean Muir, while the tousled nonchalance of Debbie Harry’s rock chick bob defined the ’70s and ’80s.
In the mid 2020s, the bob is as popular as ever. Revisit 40 of the most memorable versions in recent memory.
15 Of The Best Books To Read On Holiday Right Now
The best beach reads are those that make you really inhabit your holiday – or, if you’re at home, transport you somewhere else. It’s best if they’re not too serious or cerebral (this one time, in Croatia, I only had George Orwell’s 1984 with me, which led to some really doomy thoughts at the pool party).
Indeed, the purpose of a beach read ought to be escapism and pleasure. Don’t mistake that for trash, though. A good beach read should have you desperate to return to your cabana or towel or wherever – big packet of Lays and a glinting European beer on the side – just so you can dive back into the page. With that in mind, and in the midst of holiday season, here are just a few of the best beach reads worth packing.
Why Yes, Red Is a Neutral!
Is there a color more bold and eye-popping than red?
When it comes to wearing the fiery hue, it’s one of those colors that instantly makes itself known in an outfit, and it’s certainly not for wallflowers trying to blend in. You typically see red used an as an accent color—a way to inject some pizazz into an otherwise colorless ensemble. Street style stars like Hailey Bieber, for one, have styled their classic jeans and a tee with a saucy little red pump.
The 5 Best Marc Jacobs Perfumes Never Fail to Win Me Compliments
Daisy Eau de Toilette is a classic for a reason.
If you’re in the market for one of the best designer perfumes, might I suggest Marc Jacobs? Beyond fashion, the brand has made a name in beauty with its playful yet elevated fragrance line. (He also recently brought back his cult-favorite makeup line to the absolute glee of pretty much the entire beauty community.) That being said, the fragrances from the brand have long been one of its most popular offerings, and you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who hasn’t had a bottle or two in their collection, whether currently or at some point in time. I have a few of my own, and I have to say: the best Marc Jacobs perfumes incorporate fresh notes like wild berries, pear, lychee, and sandalwood, offering a handful of light yet sweet gourmand scents.
Honey Blonde Hair Is Summer’s Most Expensive-Looking Color
There’s a reason golden tones are always trending.
I tend to think of honey blonde as the color equivalent of golden-hour lighting. It brightens the face, softens everything around it, and has enough depth to avoid looking flat or overly processed. It also happens to be one of the most versatile takes on blonde, which explains why I keep seeing it reappear on everyone from Beyoncé and Zendaya to Keke Palmer and Rihanna.
What keeps me coming back to honey blonde is how polished it looks without feeling overly done. The best versions have a lived-in vibe, as though the sun did most of the work—even when the reality involved several hours in a salon chair. It can brighten a brunette base without stripping away all of its depth, or make an existing blonde feel softer and less stark. The result is there, but it doesn’t have to read as a complete reinvention.

Sure, decluttering can be a satisfying endeavor—but it can be difficult to know exactly what to get rid of. This is especially true when it comes to an overstuffed wardrobe. Fashion is cyclical, after all, and you don’t want to regret tossing items only for them to come back in style.

How to Remove Orange Tones From Wood Furniture, According to Experts
Modernize your wood furniture with these expert tips.
If you have wood furniture sealed with an oil-based varnish or aged polyurethane, you might notice that over time, the surface starts to take on an orange or amber tone. This is the result of oxygen and ultraviolet rays causing the surface of the wood to darken, and is common with traditional varnishes, oils, and shellacs, says Martin Dooley, director of MD Carpentry Workshop.
While there’s nothing wrong with warmer-toned wood, it can look a bit dated in certain scenarios (especially if that wasn’t the look you were initially going for). To help you achieve your desired aesthetic, we consulted three furniture and carpentry experts who gave us step-by-step instructions for remedying warm-toned wood.
